		                        			Viral hepatitis is an important cause of liver cirrhosis and liver cancer, which has become a major public health problem in the world. Traditional Chinese medicine has unique advantages in treating viral hepatitis, which can inhibit virus replication and enhance immunity. It can effectively prevent liver fibrosis and canceration, improving liver function and symptoms significantly with definite clinical curative effects, a high level of safety, and seldom drug resistance. In addition, it reduces the side effects of western medicine, achieving the effect of synergy and attenuation while reducing the recurrence rate of patients after drug withdrawal. Attention has been paid to the research on the treatment of viral hepatitis with traditional Chinese medicine, and great progress has been made in experimental research and clinical practice. In this paper, the research progress of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of viral hepatitis at home and abroad in recent five years was systematically reviewed. Modern research has confirmed that traditional Chinese medicine can play a role in the treatment of viral hepatitis by directly or indirectly inhibiting the virus, anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrosis, anti-oxidation, regulating immunity, regulating autophagy, and other signal pathways. In clinics, traditional Chinese medicine compound or combined with western medicine is often adopted to ameliorate the clinical symptoms of patients such as fatigue and loss of appetite, improve the immune mechanism of the body, enhance the antiviral ability, shorten the treatment course of patients and improve their quality of life. The research provides a reference for pharmacological research, clinical research, and new drug development for viral hepatitis.

		                        			Objective  To understand the infectious pathogen characteristics and drug sensitivity of hospitalized patients in the respiratory intensive care unit (RICU) of Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University.  Methods  Bacterial culture samples sent to the RICU of our hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The bacterial types were identified by Bruker mass spectrometer, and the Phoenix 100 was used for drug sensitivity analysis. The antimicrobial susceptibility was analyzed by WHONET 5.6 software.  Results  A total of 1 157 strains of bacteria were isolated, including 878 strains of Gram-negative bacteria (75.89%) and 279 strains of Gram-positive bacteria (24.11%). The top five with the highest detection rate were Acinetobacter baumannii (25.50%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (18.76%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (13.83%), Staphylococcus aureus (6.57%) and Escherichia coli (5.70%). Among them, Acinetobacter baumannii was extremely drug-resistant, only showing relatively high sensitivity to colistin, minocycline, and tigecycline. Staphylococcus aureus accounted for the highest proportion of Gram-positive bacteria (6.57%), with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus (MRSA) showing a continuous increase.  Conclusion  In the past three years, Gram-negative bacteria have been the main pathogenic bacteria detected in the respiratory intensive care unit of our hospital. The main bacteria are Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumoniae, which have a high resistance rate to various antibiotics. Therefore, clinical monitoring of resistant strains in RICU should be strengthened to facilitate rational use of antibiotics and improve antibacterial effect.

RESULTS 
PLB-E and PLB-P had good linear relationship in the range of 2–120, 3–60 μg·mL–1, respectively(r2>0.999). The RSD of inter-day and intra-day precision were <15%. The extraction recoveries were 87.48%–92.84% and 88.24%–92.60%, respectively. The main pharmacokinetic parameters of PLB-E and PLB-P after a single intravenous injection of 5, 10, 20 mg·kg–1 were as follows, the average Cmax was (20.30±2.39), (40.63±3.40), (63.62±7.55)mg·L–1 and (13.21±1.40), (24.87±1.33), (32.83±0.65)mg·L–1, respectively. AUC(0-∞) were (104.67±48.39), (177.42±84.11), (194.32±91.48)mg·h·L–1 and (106.75±54.21), (179.90±93.59), (253.56±126.17)mg·h·L–1, respectively. Tmax of each dose was 0.08 h.
CONCLUSION 
The HPLC method established in this study meets the requirements for the determination of biological samples through methodological verification, which is applicable to the determination of the concentration of PLB-E and PLB-P in rat plasma and the pharmacokinetic study. The pharmacokinetic process of PLB-E and PLB-P in rats conforms to the two-compartment model, and conforms to the nonlinear kinetic elimination.

		                        			Objective To explore the changes in macrophage infiltration behavior during the dynamic evolution of thrombi following the formation of acute carotid artery thrombosis occlusion(ACTO).Methods 15 healthy male New Zealand rabbits were selected to establish an ACTO model by causing injury to the rabbit carotid artery using surgical sutures treated with ferric chloride.All rabbits were randomly divided into 5 groups according to the end-point time using the random number table method,namely 24-hour group,1 week group,4week group,8 week group,and 12week group postoperatively,with 3 rabbits in each group.At 24 hours post-operation,the ACTO model was examined by DS A.At 24 hours,1 week,4 weeks,8 weeks,and 12 weeks post-operation,samples were taken from the thrombotic arterial segment of the 3 rabbits in each group and embedded in paraffin.The thrombus samples were stained with hematoxylin-eosin(HE)and Martius scarlet blue(MSB)to analyze changes in thrombus morphology and composition(including red blood cells,fibrin and collagen fibers).Orbit Imaging Analysis software was used for semi-quantitative analysis of the thrombus composition components.Using immunohistochemistry to detect the distribution of MO and M2 macrophages in thrombi,aimed to summarize the dynamic evolution of thrombus morphology,composition,and macrophage infiltration behavior at different stages following ACTO occurrence.Results The 24-hour DSA results indicated that all experimental rabbits successfully established the ACTO model.(1)HE staining showed a continuous increase in thrombus size from 24 hours to 1 week.By 4 weeks,signs of thrombus dissolution appeared,and at 8 weeks,neovascularization was observed within the thrombus.By 12 weeks,signs of fibrosis were evident in the thrombus.(2)MSB staining revealed that during the acute phase of thrombus formation(within 24 hours after surgery),red blood cells were the predominant component initially,but after this period,fibrin and collagen fibers became the main components.(3)The detection results of MO macrophages showed that 24 hours after surgery,MO macrophages in the thrombus were not evenly distributed throughout the thrombus,but mainly gathered at the thrombus edge;at 1 week after surgery,the positive area percentage of MO macrophage in the thrombus increased compared with 24 hours after surgery(thrombus edge:[41.7±27.0]%vs.[24.6±16.7]%,thrombus core:[35.7±19.6]%vs.[11.1±10.4]%,all P<0.001),and evenly distributed within the thrombus;at 4 weeks after surgery,MO macrophages in the thrombus decreased compared with 1 week after surgery(thrombosis edge:[10.7±6.1]%vs.[41.7±27.0]%,thrombus core:[12.1±8.5]%vs.[35.7±19.6]%,all P<0.001),the differences were statistically significant.At 4,8,and 12 weeks after surgery,MO macrophages within the thrombus did not change significantly with time(thrombus edge:[10.7±6.1]%,[8.0±7.7]%,and[8.9±5.3]%;thrombus core:[12.1±8.5]%,[9.5±4.2]%,and[15.7±11.0]%),and the differences were not statistically significant(all P>0.05).In addition,at 12 weeks after surgery,MO macrophages at the thrombus edge was less than the thrombus core([8.9+5.3]%vs.[15.7±11.0]%,P<0.01).The detection results of M2 macrophages showed that 24 hours after surgery,M2 macrophages in the thrombus were widely distributed throughout the thrombus;at 1 week after surgery,the positive area percentage of M2 macrophages in the thrombus increased compared with 24 hours after surgery(thrombus edge:[22.1±11.3]%vs.[11.4±8.7]%,P<0.001;thrombus core:[24.5±9.8]%vs.[7.6±6.0]%,P<0.001);at 4 weeks after surgery,M2 macrophage in the thrombus decreased compared with 1 week after surgery(thrombosis edge:[10.6±3.7]%vs.[22.1±11.3]%,P<0.001;thrombus core:[9.2±4.3]%vs.[24.5±9.8]%,P<0.001);at 8 weeks after surgery,M2 macrophages in the thrombus increased compared with 4 weeks after surgery([17.9±8.8]%vs.[9.2±4.3]%,P<0.001),and the differences were statistically significant.However,M2 macrophages in the thrombus did not change significantly from 8 weeks to 12 weeks after surgery(thrombus edge:[9.4±6.3]%vs.[8.5±5.3]%,P>0.05;thrombus core:[17.9±8.8]%vs.[14.4±10.0]%,P>0.05).In addition,at 8 and 12 weeks after surgery,M2 macrophages in the thrombus core was greater than the thrombus edge(8 weeks after surgery:[17.9±8.8]%vs.[9.4±6.3]%,P<0.001;12weeks after surgery:[14.4±10.0]%vs.[8.5±5.3]%,P<0.001).Conclusions This study successfully established an ACTO animal model and demonstrated for the first time the dynamic evolution of macrophages within 12 weeks post-thrombus formation.Macrophages may played a significant role in both thrombus formation and fibrinolysis,as well as in the promotion of thrombus dissolution and the formation of new blood vessels within the thrombus which may potentially promote the spontaneous reperfusion of the occluded vessels.The results of this study need further verification.

		                        			Objective:To explore the clinical features of fatty liver disease (FLD) from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) to metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MASLD), so as to elucidate its clinical application value under three renames.Methods:Patients who were hospitalized in the Department of Hepatology, Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Affiliated to Xinjiang Medical University, from January 2020 to September 2023 and met the diagnosis of NAFLD, metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), or MASLD were selected as the research subjects. The clinical indicators differences among the three groups of patients were compared, mainly including general information (age, gender, body mass index, past history, etc.), serological indicators (liver and kidney function, blood lipids, blood sugar, coagulation function, etc.), non-invasive liver fibrosis indicators, fat attenuation parameters, etc. Measurement data were analyzed using ANOVA and the rank sum test, while count data were analyzed using the χ2 test. Results:NAFLD, MAFLD, and MASLD prevalence rates among 536 cases were 64.0%, 93.7%, and 100%, respectively. 318 cases (59.3%) met the three fatty liver names at the same time among them. Male population proportions in NAFLD, MAFLD, and MASLD were 30.9%, 55.8%, and 53.9%, respectively. The alcohol consumption history proportion was 0, 36.7%, and 36.0%, respectively. The smoking history proportion was 7.0%, 31.9%, and 30.6%, respectively. The body mass index was (27.66 ± 3.97), (28.33 ± 3.63), and (27.90 ± 3.89) kg/m 2, respectively. The γ-glutamyltransferase levels were 26.6 (18.0, 47.0) U/L, 31.0 (20.0, 53.0) U/L, and 30.8 (19.8, 30.8) U/L, respectively. The high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were 1.07 (0.90, 1.23) mmol/L, 1.02 (0.86, 1.19) mmol/L, and 1.03 (0.87,1.21) mmol/L, respectively. Sequentially measured uric acid was (322.98 ± 84.51) μmol/L, (346.57 ± 89.49) μmol/L, and (344.89 ±89.67) μmol/L, respectively. Sequentially measured creatinine was 69.6 (62.9, 79.0) μmol/L, 73.0 (65.0, 83.5) μmol/L, and 73.0 (65.0, 83.0) μmol/L, respectively. The sequential analysis of obesity proportion was 74.3%, 81.7%, and 76.5%, respectively, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with the NAFLD population, the MAFLD and MASLD populations were predominantly male, obese, and had a history of smoking and drinking. The levels of γ-glutamyltransferase, uric acid, and creatinine were slightly higher, while the levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were lower. MASLD appeared in NAFLD and MAFLD on the basis of inheritance and progression, emphasizing once again the important role of metabolic factors in a fatty liver.
