Virus-related lymphoma exhibits a dual nature as both a hematologic malignancy and a viral infectious disease, making it more resistant to treatment and associated with poorer prognosis. This paper analyzes the understanding and therapeutic advantages of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in virus-related lymphoma. It proposes a TCM-based approach centered around syndrome differentiation, using standardized measurements of the overall TCM condition, multi-omics research of hematologic tumors, and artificial intelligence technologies to identify the "pre-condition" of virus-related lymphoma. A risk warning model will be established to early identify high-risk populations with viral infections that may develop into malignant lymphoma, thereby establishing a risk warning system for virus-related lymphoma. At the same time, a TCM health management approach will be applied to manage and regulate virus-related lymphoma, interrupting its progression and forming a human-centered, comprehensive, continuous health service model. Based on this, a standardized, integrated clinical prevention and treatment decision-making model for virus-related lymphoma, recognized by both Chinese and western medicine, will be established to provide TCM solutions for primary prevention of major malignant tumors.

Objective:
To investigate the distribution of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes and syndrome elements in lymphoma, as well as the correlation between TCM syndromes and Western clinical indicators, in order to analyze associations between TCM syndromes and these indicators.
Methods:
From January 2023 to May 2024, 216 patients with lymphoma who met the inclusion criteria in the Department of Hematology, Third People′s Hospital Affiliated to Fujian University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were enrolled. Four diagnostic methods were applied to perform TCM syndrome differentiation and extract syndrome elements. The correlations between various syndromes and blood test indicators of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), β2-microglobulin (β2-MG), immunoglobulin G (IgG), immunoglobulin M (IgM), immunoglobulin A (IgA), white blood cell (WBC), hemoglobin (Hb), platelet count (PLT), neutrophil (NEUT), immunohistochemical markers of B-cell lymphoma-6 (BCL6), B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL2), proto-oncogene MYC, and Ki67 protein expression, Ann Arbor staging, international prognostic index (IPI) score, bone marrow infiltration, concurrent infections during chemotherapy, and post-chemotherapy bone marrow suppression rate were analyzed.
Results:
Five TCM syndromes, ranked by frequency, were syndromes of yin deficiency with phlegm accumulation(41.67%), qi depression with phlegm obstruction(30.56%), cold-phlegm congelation and stagnation(12.96%), phlegm-blood stasis toxin(12.04%), and lingering pathogen due to deficient vital qi(2.77%). Yin deficiency(50.93%) and phlegm(45.37%) were the more prevalent syndrome elements. The TCM syndromes were correlated with β2-MG, PLT, MYC, BCL2/MYC, Ki67 protein expression, and bone marrow infiltration (P<0.05). No statistically significant differences were observed in Ann Arbor staging or IPI score across the syndromes. Compared to the syndrome of cold-phlegm congelation and stagnation, the syndrome of qi depression with phlegm obstruction exhibited higher levels of NEUT, MYC, BCL2/MYC, and Ki67 protein expression, as well as a higher rate of post-chemotherapy bone marrow suppression (P<0.05); the syndrome of phlegm-blood stasis toxin showed higher MYC and BCL2/MYC protein expression and a higher rate of post-chemotherapy bone marrow suppression rate (P<0.05); the syndrome of yin deficiency with phlegm accumulation demonstrated higher MYC and BCL2/MYC protein expression and bone marrow infiltration rates, whereas PLT level was lower (P<0.05); the syndrome of lingering pathogen due to deficient vital qi had higher MYC, BCL2/MYC, and Ki67 protein expression levels, as well as a higher rate of post-chemotherapy bone marrow suppression rate (P<0.05). Compared to the syndrome of qi depression with phlegm obstruction, the syndrome of phlegm-blood stasis toxin exhibited lower Ki67 protein expression (P<0.05); the syndrome of yin deficiency with phlegm accumulation had higher β2-MG level, bone marrow infiltration rate, and rate of concurrent infections during chemotherapy, whereas PLT and NEUT levels and the rate of post-chemotherapy bone marrow suppression rate were lower (P<0.05). Compared to the syndrome of phlegm-blood stasis toxin, the syndrome of yin deficiency with phlegm accumulation had higher β2-MG level, whereas NEUT and the rate of post-chemotherapy bone marrow suppression were lower(P<0.05); the syndrome of lingering pathogen due to deficient vital qi exhibited a higher Ki67 protein expression (P<0.05). Compared to the syndrome of yin deficiency with phlegm accumulation, the syndrome of lingering pathogen due to deficient vital qi also showed a higher Ki67 protein expression(P<0.05).
Conclusion
The syndrome of yin deficiency with phlegm accumulation is relatively common in lymphoma. There is a correlation between TCM syndromes and Western medicine clinical indicators. The presence of heat signs in the syndromes may indicate active disease and poor prognosis, while the presence of strong pathogenic factors and weak vital qi in the syndromes may indicate a severer chemotherapy-related bone marrow suppression.

OBJECTIVE To explore the mechanism of Huayu jiedu formula in regulating inflammatory injury in chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS Fifty male SD rats were randomly divided into a sham surgery group (10 rats) and a modeling group (40 rats). The CKD model was replicated in the modeling group by unilateral ureteral obstruction surgery. After successful modeling, the rats were randomly divided into model group, esaxerenone group (positive control), and TCM low- and high-dose groups, with 10 rats in each group. The Esaxerenone group was given 1 mg/kg of esaxerenone, while the TCM low- and high-dose groups were given 13.7 and 27.4 g/kg of Huayu jiedu formula respectively, the sham surgery group and model group were given an equal volume of physiological saline, all groups were intervened continuously for 14 days. Hematoxylin eosin and Masson staining were used to observe the pathological changes in rat kidney tissue. Conventional biochemical methods were used to detect serum urea (SUr), serum creatinine (SCr), malondialdehyde (MDA), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels; enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the levels of serum interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α); immunohistochemistry and Western blot were used to detect the protein expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α(PGC-1α) , mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM), absent in melanoma 2(AIM2), caspase-1, gasdermin D (GSDMD), IL-1β and IL-18 in renal tissue; real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of AIM2. RESULTS Compared with the sham surgery group, the renal tissue of the model group showed pathological changes such as glomerular deformation and destruction, severe tubular dilation, and increased deposition of blue fibrin; the levels of SUr, SCr, MDA, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α,the protein expression of AIM2, GSDMD, caspase-1, IL-1β, IL-18 , and the mRNA expression of AIM2 were significantly increased or up-regulated (P<0.01); the levels of SOD, the protein expression of PGC-1α, TFAM were significantly reduced or down-regulated (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, all treatment groups showed improvement in the above symptoms and most indicators in rats. CONCLUSIONS Huayu jiedu formula may improve renal function, alleviate renal inflammatory damage and pyroptosis, and exert renal protective effects by regulating the AIM2 pyroptosis pathway.

OBJECTIVE To provide reference for constructing scientific and reasonable pharmaceutical service mode for hospitalized patients with chronic airway diseases. METHODS From October 2023 to March 2024, 250 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and acute exacerbation of asthma who were hospitalized in the respiratory department of Hebei General Hospital and received pharmaceutical care (PC) were randomly divided into control group (125 cases) and observation group (125 cases). The control group received general pharmaceutical services throughout their hospitalization, while the observation group received standardized and graded pharmaceutical services throughout their hospitalization. The differences in clinical value indicators, humanistic value indicators, and quality management indicators were compared among different PC service models. RESULTS Among clinical value evaluation indicators, the observation group had better achievement rate of disease treatment goals, correct use score of inhalation devices, the incidence of adverse drug reactions, and the number of drug-related problems solved than the control group (P<0.05). Among the humanistic evaluation indicators, compared with the control group, the observation group had better medication compliance scores, pharmacist intervention success rates, and patient satisfaction scores (P<0.05). Among quality management evaluation indicators, the proportion of drug costs, the proportion of intravenous medication, the use rate of antibiotics, the intensity of antibiotic use, and the number of pharmaceutical services in the observation group were significantly better than the control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Standardized and graded pharmaceutical care services have improved the efficiency of pharmacists and service effectiveness, making it a new pharmaceutical service model worth promoting.

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are common and serious occupational health problems faced by primary and secondary school teachers around the world. The high prevalence of WMSD brings great harm to the physical health, psychology, daily work and life of primary and secondary school teachers. This project systematically reviewed the basic situation of WMSDs in primary and secondary school teachers at home and abroad, summarized the prevalence rate, involved body parts and main hazards of WMSDs in primary and secondary school teachers, and concluded the personal factors, occupational factors and social psychological factors leading to WMSDs. Based on this, a set of basic prevention and control measures of WMSDs were proposed from five perspectives: organizational training, organizational management, ergonomic design, individual behavior and social psychology, in order to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of WMSDs.

Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1α), a core transcription factor responding to changes in cellular oxygen levels, is closely associated with a wide range of physiological and pathological conditions. However, its differential impacts on vascular cell types and molecular programs modulating human vascular homeostasis and regeneration remain largely elusive. Here, we applied CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing of human embryonic stem cells and directed differentiation to generate HIF-1α-deficient human vascular cells including vascular endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), as a platform for discovering cell type-specific hypoxia-induced response mechanisms. Through comparative molecular profiling across cell types under normoxic and hypoxic conditions, we provide insight into the indispensable role of HIF-1α in the promotion of ischemic vascular regeneration. We found human MSCs to be the vascular cell type most susceptible to HIF-1α deficiency, and that transcriptional inactivation of ANKZF1, an effector of HIF-1α, impaired pro-angiogenic processes. Altogether, our findings deepen the understanding of HIF-1α in human angiogenesis and support further explorations of novel therapeutic strategies of vascular regeneration against ischemic damage.
