It is proposed that the essence of the half-interior half-exterior theory of the membrane-source lies in the concept of the interstitial space being half-interior half-exterior. Through analysis of classical medical texts and commentaries by renowned physicians， the relationship between the membrane-source interstitial layer and the Governor Vessel （督脉） is explored. It is argued that the Governor Vessel traverses beyond the membrane-source interstitial half-interior half-exterior layer， and that this layer is related to， but distinct from， the shaoyang channel's half-interior half-exterior characteristic. By examining both historical and modern clinical approaches， further evidence is provided to support the view that the Governor Vessel passes outside this interstitial layer. Based on this relationship， treatment principles and prescriptions for Governor Vessel-related disorders are referenced to formulate strategies for membrane-source disorders， offering new perspectives for addressing complex and difficult clinical conditions.

It is proposed that both "skin interior-membrane exterior" （the region between the skin and membranes） and "membrane-source" are objective parts of human body. Based on relevant ancient texts， interpretations by physicians， and clinical characteristics of diseases， we analysed the relationship between skin interior-membrane exterior and membrane-source， and proposed that skin interior-membrane exterior is essentially equivalent to membrane-source， with skin interior-membrane exterior offering a clearer expression of the meaning. The medicinal practices and prescriptions recorded in materia medica and classical formulas provide evidence to support that skin interior-membrane exterior is same as membrane-source. Based on the researches on their relationship， the formula groups for the treatment of membrane-source diseases developed， potentially expanding the clinical applications of membrane-source formulas and offering new approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of complex diseases in clinic.

Sishen Pills is a classic prescription for the treatment of spleen and kidney diarrhea,which has the effect of warming the kidney and the spleen,astringent intestine and antidiarrheal.In modern clinical application,the modified prescriptions based on Sishen Pills,combined with other treatments of TCM and integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine are often used to treat ulcerative colitis with spleen-kidney yang deficiency syndrome,and the curative effect is remarkable.Experimental pharmacological studies have shown that Sishen Pills may achieve the purpose of ulcerative colitis by regulating the expression of related signaling pathway proteins,regulating inflammatory factors,inhibiting inflammatory response,regulating autophagy,regulating intestinal flora,improving intestinal mucosal permeability,repairing intestinal mucosal barrier,regulating cellular energy metabolism,anti-oxidative stress,regulating cellular immune function,etc.In this article,the research status of Sishen Pills in the treatment of ulcerative colitis was sorted out and summarized,in order to provide reference for further study of its mechanism and clinical application.

Objective:To explore the methods and clinical effects of reconstructing facial and cervical scars with expanded flaps based on the "MLT" principle.Methods:The study was a retrospective observational study. From January 2019 to May 2022, 74 patients with facial and cervical scars after burn or trauma injuries who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, including 38 males and 36 females, aged from 5 to 58 years, including 24 patients with simple facial involvement, 24 patients with simple cervical involvement, and 26 patients with both facial and cervical involvement, with scar area ranging from 12 to 145 cm2. By following the "MLT" principle (color and texture similar to the face; flap area large enough to reconstruct the entire defect; skin tissue thin enough to transmit the expression, so as to facilitate the shape of the face and five features); in the stage Ⅰ surgery, the skin and soft tissue expanders (hereinafter referred to as the expanders) were implanted, and in the stage Ⅱ surgery, the expander removal+scar resection+flap transplantation to repair the secondary wound was performed, and the wound in the donor area of flap was directly sutured. After operation, silicone gel preparation and laser therapy were used to prevent scar hyperplasia. The expansion ratio and time period of expanders, the occurrence of complications of skin and soft tissue expansion surgery, the type of flap used, and the survival of flap after the stage Ⅱ surgery were observed and recorded. The long-term effect of facial and cervical reconstruction and the recovery of donor area and recipient area of flap were evaluated during the postoperative follow-up after surgery.Results:The expansion ratio of 135 expanders ranged from 1.36 to 3.00 times, and the expansion time period ranged from 6 to 14 months. During skin and soft tissue expansion surgery, 8 patients had poor healing of incisions after expander placement, 7 patients had expander rupture, 5 patients had infection in incisions after expander placement, 3 patients had expander exposure, 2 patients had difficult filling the injection pot, and 1 patient had water leakage from the injection pot. Dorsal shoulder expanded flaps with double blood supply of transverse cervical artery and circumflex scapular artery were used in 8 patients, the expanded flaps of anterior transverse carotid artery perforator were used in 11 patients, the expanded flaps of internal thoracic artery perforator were used in 12 patients, tandem expanded flaps of upper chest and neck were used in 16 patients, dorsal thoracic artery perforator expanded flaps were used in 5 patients, and adjacent rotary propulsive expanded flaps were used in 22 patients. After the stage Ⅱ surgery, the flaps of 71 patients were completely survived. One patient had blood circulation disorder in the flap, and the flap survived after hyperbaric oxygen treatment. Necrosis occurred at the end of the flaps in 2 patients, which healed after dressing change. After the surgery, 42 patients were followed up for 3 to 24 months. The color, texture, and thickness of flaps were good and similar to the surrounding normal skin tissue in the recipient area, the appearance and function of the face and neck were significantly improved, and the wound location in the donor and recipient areas of flaps was concealed with slight scar formation.Conclusions:In the reconstruction of facial and neck scars, by following the "MLT" principle, the expanded flap was carefully designed before surgery, the local aesthetic features within the subunit are reconstructed during the stage Ⅱ surgery, and standard anti-scar treatment measures are actively adopted after surgery. After reconstruction, the color, texture, and thickness of flaps were close to the normal skin in face and neck, and the appearance and function of face and neck are significantly improved, with less linear scars left. It is beneficial to improve the therapeutic effect.

Objective:To investigate the potential effect and mechanism of docosahexaenoic acid(DHA) on hippocampal neuronal apoptosis and c-Jun N-terminal kinase(JNK) protein in rats with subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH).Methods:Forty eight SPF-grade male SD rats were randomly divided into control group, sham group, model group and DHA intervention group according to the random number table method, with 12 rats in each group.The rats in model group and DHA group were injected with autologous blood(0.3 mL) into the optic chiasma to establish the SAH model.Rats in model group were intraperitoneally injected with DHA(35 mg/kg) 3 hours after SAH model establishment, rats in sham operation group were injected with 0.3 mL 0.9% sodium chloride solution into the optic chiasma, and rats in control group were fed normally.Neurobehavioral function of all rats was evaluated after 24 hours.The apoptosis of neuron was observed by TUNEL staining, and the expression of phosphorylated JNK(p-JNK)and apoptosis-related proteins Bax and Bcl-2 was observed by Western blot.Statistical analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism 7.0 software.One-way ANOVA was used for comparison among multiple groups, and Tukey test was used for further pairwise comparison.Results:(1)The differences in neurobehavioral function scores among the 4 groups of rats were statistically significant( F=103.60, P<0.05), the neurobehavioral function scores in model group(8.67±1.37) and DHA intervention group(13.67±1.51) were lower than that in control group(18.00±0.00) and sham group(17.67±0.52)( all P<0.05), while the neurobehavioral function score in DHA intervention group was higher than that in the model group( P<0.05).(2)The results of TUNEL staining showed that there were statistical differences in the number of hippocampal neuron apoptosis among the 4 groups( F=30.76, P<0.05), the number of hippocampal neuron apoptosis in model group(55.67±5.28) was higher than those in control group(25.83±7.06) and sham group(25.50±6.72) (both P<0.05), the number of hippocampal neuron apoptosis in DHA intervention group(35.17±5.78) was lower than that in model group.(3)The results of Western blot showed that there were no statistical differences in the Bax protein levels among the four groups( F=2.00, P>0.05).There were statistical differences in the expression levels of Bcl-2, p-JNK and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio among the 4 groups( F=8.48, 5.69, 5.39, all P<0.05).There was no statistical difference in Bcl-2, p-JNK protein levels and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio between the control group and sham group(all P>0.05).The p-JNK protein levels and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio in model group ((1.93±0.25), (2.05±0.86)) were higher than those in sham group ((1.42±0.33), (1.05±0.26)) (both P<0.05), the Bcl-2 protein level in model group (1.04±0.23) was lower than that in sham group (1.61±0.16) ( P<0.05).The p-JNK protein level and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio in DHA intervention group((1.43±0.33), (1.19±0.30)) were lower than those in model group(both P<0.05), the Bcl-2 protein level in DHA intervention group(1.42±0.28) was higher than that in model group( P<0.05).

Ferroptosis is regarded as a novel and regulatable form of cell death, with its main characteristics being abnormal iron metabolism and the accumulation of lipid peroxides. Although there have been breakthroughs in the research of ferroptosis in tumors and degenerative diseases, its research in skin diseases is relatively scarce. Starting from the development of the concept of ferroptosis, this article expounds the basic characteristics and regulatory mechanisms of ferroptosis. In the field of skin diseases, we emphasize the importance of ferroptosis and discuss in detail the research and application of ferroptosis in various skin diseases, aiming to provide effective guidance for the treatment and clinical practice of various skin diseases, and offer new ideas for the future research direction of skin diseases.

Pathological mechanism of ulcerative colitis(UC)is not fully clear,which may be the result of Th17/Treg immune imbalance and the interaction of multiple complex factors.Numerous studies have found that classical TCM prescriptions,experienced formulas and TCM active components could regulate Th17/Treg balance by intervening in cytokines,transcription factors,and signaling pathways,restore intestinal mucosal immune function,suppress intestinal mucosal inflammatory response,and repair intestinal mucosal barrier damage.Based on the research status of UC,Th17/Treg balance and TCM treatment,this article reviewed the relationship between Th17/Treg balance and UC,and explained the key role of Th17/Treg balance in the occurrence and development of UC.At the same time,the Chinese materia medica targeting to regulate the balance of Th17/Treg in the treatment of UC in recent years was summarized,in order to provide reference for the treatment of UC.

Objective:To measure the magnetic field correction factor of reference ionization chamber in a 1.5 T magnetic field and to explore the response of the ionization chamber among different angles between magnetic field and ionization chamber axis.Methods:A home-made magnetic compatible one-dimensional water tank was used to measure the response of PTW30013 and IBA FC65-G in 7 MV photon beam of Elekta Unity with and without magnetic field. The ionizing current was collected by PTW UNIDOS Tango electrometer. The effective measurement point of ionization chamber was positioned to the isocenter of MR-linac using electronic portal image device. The influence on water absorbed dose of reference point was obtained by Monte Carlo calculations.Results:The response of ionization chambers in strong magnetic field was related to the angle between chamber axis and magnetic field. The response of ionization chamber was significantly affected in perpendicular magnetic field with a deviation up to 4.54% compared to parallel magnetic field. The deviation between the magnetic field correction factors measured for parallel or reverse-parallel was 0.03%-0.24%. The magnetic field correction factors for PTW30013 and FC65-G measured in parallel magnetic field were 0.9934±0.0077 and 0.9990±0.0076, respectively.Conclusions:This study experimentally verifies that positioning the ionization chamber axis parallel to the magnetic field direction in MR-linac reference dosimetry can minimize the magnetic field impact. The determined magnetic field correction factor and uncertainty in 1.5 T magnetic field can provide necessary data for establishing an MR-linac reference dosimetry protocol.
