The development of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) diagnosis and treatment has undergone multiple paradigms, evolving from sporadic experiential practices to systematic approaches in syndrome differentiation and treatment and further integration of disease and syndrome frameworks. TCM is a vital component of the medical system, valued alongside Western medicine. Treatment based on syndrome differentiation embodies both personalized treatment and holistic approaches; however, the inconsistency and lack of stability in syndrome differentiation limit clinical efficacy. The existing integration of diseases and syndromes primarily relies on patchwork and embedded systems, where the full advantages of synergy between Chinese and Western medicine are not fully realized. Recently, driven by the development of diagnosis and treatment concepts and advances in analytical technology, Western medicine has been rapidly transforming from a traditional biological model to a precision medicine model. TCM faces a similar need to progress beyond traditional syndrome differentiation and disease-syndrome integration toward a more precise diagnosis and treatment paradigm. Unlike the micro-level precision trend of Western medicine, precision diagnosis and treatment in TCM is primarily reflected in data-driven applications that incorporate information at various levels, including precise syndrome differentiation, medication, disease management, and efficacy evaluation. The current priority is to accelerate the development of TCM precision diagnosis and treatment technology platforms and advance discipline construction in this area.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a central neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive cognitive decline and memory impairment in clinical. Currently, there are no effective treatments for AD. In recent years, a variety of therapeutic approaches from different perspectives have been explored to treat AD. Although the drug therapies targeted at the clearance of amyloid β-protein (Aβ) had made a breakthrough in clinical trials, there were associated with adverse events. Neuroinflammation plays a crucial role in the onset and progression of AD. Continuous neuroinflammatory was considered to be the third major pathological feature of AD, which could promote the formation of extracellular amyloid plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles. At the same time, these toxic substances could accelerate the development of neuroinflammation, form a vicious cycle, and exacerbate disease progression. Reducing neuroinflammation could break the feedback loop pattern between neuroinflammation, Aβ plaque deposition and Tau tangles, which might be an effective therapeutic strategy for treating AD. Traditional Chinese herbs such as Polygonum multiflorum and Curcuma were utilized in the treatment of AD due to their ability to mitigate neuroinflammation. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and indomethacin had been shown to reduce the level of inflammasomes in the body, and taking these drugs was associated with a low incidence of AD. Biosynthetic nanomaterials loaded with oxytocin were demonstrated to have the capability to anti-inflammatory and penetrate the blood-brain barrier effectively, and they played an anti-inflammatory role via sustained-releasing oxytocin in the brain. Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells could reduce neuroinflammation and inhibit the activation of microglia. The secretion of mesenchymal stem cells could not only improve neuroinflammation, but also exert a multi-target comprehensive therapeutic effect, making it potentially more suitable for the treatment of AD. Enhancing the level of TREM2 in microglial cells using gene editing technologies, or application of TREM2 antibodies such as Ab-T1, hT2AB could improve microglial cell function and reduce the level of neuroinflammation, which might be a potential treatment for AD. Probiotic therapy, fecal flora transplantation, antibiotic therapy, and dietary intervention could reshape the composition of the gut microbiota and alleviate neuroinflammation through the gut-brain axis. However, the drugs of sodium oligomannose remain controversial. Both exercise intervention and electromagnetic intervention had the potential to attenuate neuroinflammation, thereby delaying AD process. This article focuses on the role of drug therapy, gene therapy, stem cell therapy, gut microbiota therapy, exercise intervention, and brain stimulation in improving neuroinflammation in recent years, aiming to provide a novel insight for the treatment of AD by intervening neuroinflammation in the future.

ObjectiveTo investigate the value of different noninvasive diagnostic models in the diagnosis of esophageal and gastric varices since there is a high risk of esophageal and gastric varices in patients with compensated hepatitis B cirrhosis and significant portal hypertension， and to provide a basis for the early diagnosis of esophageal and gastric varices. MethodsA total of 108 patients with significant portal hypertension due to compensated hepatitis B cirrhosis who attended Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from November 2017 to November 2023 were enrolled， and according to the presence or absence of esophageal and gastric varices under gastroscopy， they were divided into esophageal and gastric varices group （GOV group） and non-esophageal and gastric varices group （NGOV group）. Related data were collected， including age， sex， imaging findings， and laboratory markers. The chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups； the least significant difference t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between groups， and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between groups. The receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve was plotted to evaluate the diagnostic value of five scoring models， i.e.， fibrosis-4 （FIB-4）， LOK index， LPRI， aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index （APRI）， and aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase ratio （AAR）. The binary logistic regression method was used to establish a combined model， and the area under the ROC curve （AUC） was compared between the combined model and each scoring model used alone. The Delong test was used to compare the AUC value between any two noninvasive diagnostic models. ResultsThere were 55 patients in the GOV group and 53 patients in the NGOV group. Compared with the NGOV group， the GOV group had a significantly higher age （52.64±1.44 years vs 47.96±1.68 years， t=0.453， P<0.05） and significantly lower levels of alanine aminotransferase ［42.00 （24.00 — 17.00） U/L vs 82.00 （46.00 — 271.00） U/L， Z=-3.065， P<0.05］， aspartate aminotransferase ［44.00 （32.00 — 96.00） U/L vs 62.00 （42.50 — 154.50） U/L，Z=-2.351， P<0.05］， and platelet count ［100.00 （69.00 — 120.00）×10⁹/L vs 119.00 （108.50 — 140.50）×10⁹/L， Z=-3.667， P<0.05］. The ROC curve analysis showed that FIB-4， LOK index， LPRI， and AAR used alone had an accuracy of 0.667， 0.681， 0.730， and 0.639， respectively， in the diagnosis of esophageal and gastric varices （all P<0.05）， and the positive diagnostic rates of GOV were 69.97%， 65.28%， 67.33%， and 58.86%， respectively， with no significant differences in AUC values （all P>0.05）， while APRI used alone had no diagnostic value （P>0.05）. A combined model （LAF） was established based on the binary logistic regression analysis and had an AUC of 0.805 and a positive diagnostic rate of GOV of 75.80%， with a significantly higher AUC than FIB-4， LOK index， LPRI， and AAR used alone （Z=-2.773，-2.479，-2.206， and-2.672， all P<0.05）. ConclusionFIB-4， LOK index， LPRI， and AAR have a similar diagnostic value for esophageal and gastric varices in patients with compensated hepatitis B cirrhosis and significant portal hypertension， and APRI alone has no diagnostic value. The combined model LAF had the best diagnostic efficacy， which provides a certain reference for clinical promotion and application.

Objective To understand the prevalence and risk factors of hyperuricemia in electronics factory workers in Wuhan, and to provide evidence for the health protection of electronics factory workers. Methods A total of 1 415 employees in an electronics factory in Wuhan were selected as the research subjects, and the physical examination and determination of various biochemical indicators, as well as questionnaire survey were carried out. Results The detection rate of hyperuricemia among workers in the electronics factory in Wuhan was 32.43%, with 36.33% for men and 14.11% for women, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ²＝46.077，P＜0.001). The detection rate of hyperuricemia was the highest (33.77%) among those with university or college education, followed by graduate students and above (31.50%). Compared with subjects with good lifestyle habits, people with drinking habits had higher hyperuricemia detection rate (49.38%), and the difference was statistically significant (P =0.001). The detection rates of hyperuricemia in those with central obesity and elevated alanine aminotransferase were 48.23% and 61.29%, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the subjects without the above diseases (26.91% and 27.21%, respectively), and the differences were statistically significant (P <0.001). Obese people had the highest detection rate of hyperuricemia (66.95%), followed by overweight people (43.75%), and the difference was statistically significant (P <0.001). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that alcohol drinking (OR=1.836, 95% CI=1.139-2.961, P =0.013) and body mass index ≥ 24 kg/m² (OR=2.175, 95% CI=1.686 -2.806, P <0.001) were risk factors for hyperuricemia in electronic factory workers. Elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) was significantly correlated with hyperuricemia (OR=2.964, 95%CI=2.146-4.095 , P <0.001). Female gender was a protective factor for hyperuricemia in workers in the electronics factory (OR=0.441, 95%CI=0.297-0.653 , P <0.001). Conclusion The detection rate of hyperuricemia among workers in an electronics factory in Wuhan is high, and the detection rate of hyperuricemia in men is higher than that in women. Alcohol consumption, overweight and obesity will increase the risk of hyperuricemia. Elevated ALT is associated with hyperuricemia. Maintaining an ideal body mass index and establishing a good lifestyle play an important role in preventing hyperuricemia.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum mannan binding lectin(MBL),histi-dine rich glycoprotein(HRG),interleukin(IL)-23/IL-17 inflammatory axis and cerebral vasospasm(CVS)and prognosis in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage(aSAH)after interventional emboliza-tion.Methods A total of 195 patients with aSAH who underwent interventional embolization treatment in the hospital from March 2019 to February 2022 were selected and were divided into no CVS group(126 cases),mild CVS group(18 cases),moderate CVS group(39 cases),and severe CVS group(12 cases)according to the occurrence and severity of CVS detected by digital subtraction angiography at the 4th postoperative day.The levels of serum MBL,HRG,IL-23 and IL-17 among the four groups before and 3 d after surgery were compared.The patients were followed up for 6 months and divided into good prognosis group(137 cases)and poor prognosis group(58 cases)according to their prognosis.Factors influencing poor prognosis in aSAH pa-tients were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression model.The predictive value of serum MBL,HRG,IL-23,IL-17 levels and their combined application models for poor prognosis in patients with aSAH was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results The incidence rate of CVS after interventional em-bolization was 35.38%in 195 patients with aSAH.3 d after surgery,the serum levels of MBL,IL-23 and IL-17 in the mild,moderate,and severe CVS groups were higher than those in the no CVS group,those in the severe CVS group were higher than those in the moderate CVS group,those in the moderate CVS group were higher than those in the mild CVS group(P<0.05).The serum HRG levels in the mild,moderate,and severe CVS groups were lower than those in the non CVS group,those in the severe CVS group were lower than those in the moderate CVS group,those in the moderate CVS group were lower than those in the mild CVS group(P<0.05).3 d after surgery,the levels of serum MBL,IL-23 and IL-17 in the four groups were higher than that before surgery,while the levels of serum HRG were lower than that before surgery(P<0.05).The pro-portions of patients with aneurysm diameter≥6 mm,number of aneurysms>1,surgery time>24 h,Hunt-Hess grade Ⅲ/Ⅳ and postoperative CVS,and serum levels of MBL,IL-23,and IL-17 on the 3rd day after sur-gery in the good prognosis group were lower than those in the poor prognosis group,and serum HRG levels at 3 d after surgery in the good prognosis group were higher than that in the poor prognosis group(P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that aneurysm diameter≥6 mm,Hunt-Hess grade Ⅲ/Ⅳ and postoperative CVS,elevated serum levels of MBL,IL-23,and IL-17 and decreased HRG level at 3 d after sur-gery were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in aSAH patients(P<0.05).ROC results showed that serum levels of MBL,HRG,IL-23,and IL-17 at 3 d after surgery had certain predictive power for poor progno-sis in patients with aSAH.The predictive model with the combined application of four indicators had relatively high efficiency(the area under the curve was 0.853).Conclusion Elevated levels of MBL,IL-23,IL-17,and decreased HRG levels in aSAH patients after interventional embolization could increase the risk of CVS and are associated with poor prognosis in aSAH patients after interventional embolization.The above indicators have a certain predictive power for poor prognosis in aSAH patients.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of serum soluble tumor necrosis factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis(sTWEAK)and Netrin-1 combined with acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHE Ⅱ)score for poor prognosis in patients with severe craniocerebral injury after surgery.Methods Totally 120 patients with severe craniocerebral injury admitted to a hospital from June 2020 to June 2022 were divided into good prognosis group and poor prognosis group according to the prognosis 30 days af-ter surgery.The serum levels of sTWEAK,Netrin-1 and APACHE Ⅱ score were compared between the two groups.Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of poor prognosis in patients with severe craniocerebral injury,and the prediction model of serum sTWEAK,Netrin-1 and APACHE Ⅱ score combined was constructed.The predictive value of serum sTWEAK,Netrin-1 level and APACHE Ⅱ score in patients with severe craniocerebral injury after surgery was analyzed by receiver operat-ing characteristic(ROC)curve.Results The duration of intensive care unit stay in the poor prognosis group was longer than that in the good prognosis group,and the albumin level,Glasgow Coma scale and serum Ne-trin-1 level at admission were lower than those in the good prognosis group.The proportion of multiple brain contusion and laceration,the proportion of mechanical ventilation,APACHE Ⅱ score at admission and the lev-els of serum sTWEAK,blood creatinine and blood urea nitrogen were higher than those in the group with good prognosis,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that multiple brain contusion and laceration,decreased Netrin-1 level,increased APACHE Ⅱscore and increased sTWEAK level at admission were risk factors for poor prognosis in patients with severe craniocerebral injury(P＜0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve and 95％CI of ser-um sTWEAK,Netrin-1 and APACHE Ⅱ scores were 0.742(0.552-0.925),0.731(0.488-0.963),0.714(0.502-0.911)and 0.882(0.795-0.947)respectively when the three indexes were used alone and in com-bination.Conclusion Serum sTWEAK and Netrin-1 combined with APACHE Ⅱ score have good predictive value for the poor prognosis of patients with severe craniocerebral injury after surgery,and can provide refer-ence for the formulation of clinical treatment.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression of keratin 15(KRT15)and keratin 18(KRT18)proteins in colorectal cancer tissue and their clinicopathological features and prognosis.Methods A total of 97 patients with colorectal cancer who underwent surgical treatment in a hospital from June 2018 to June 2019 were selected as the study objects.Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the ex-pression of KRT15 and KRT18 protein in colorectal cancer tissues and adjacent tissues,and the differences of KRT15 and KRT18 protein expression in colorectal cancer patients with different clinicopathological features were compared.The patients with colorectal cancer were followed up for 3 years after discharge,and their o-verall survival(OS)during the follow-up period was analyzed.Kaplan-Meier survival curve and Log-rank test were used to analyze the difference in OS rate among colorectal cancer patients with different KRT15 and KRT18 protein expression.Univariate and multivariate COX proportional regression analysis was performed to analyze the factors affecting the prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer.Results The positive expres-sion rates of KRT15 and KRT18 protein in colorectal cancer tissues were higher than those in adjacent tis-sues,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The positive expression rates of KRT15 and KRT18 protein in colorectal cancer tissues of patients with low differentiation,TNM Ⅲ stage,perineural inva-sion and preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA)level ≥5 ng/mL were higher than those of patients with medium-high differentiation,TNM Ⅰ-Ⅱ stage,without perineural invasion and preoperative CEA level＜5 ng/mL,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The 3-year OS rates of colorectal cancer patients with positive expression of KRT15 and KRT18 protein were 64.29％and 60.00％respectively,which were lower than those of patients with negative expression of KRT15 and KRT18 protein(83.64％and 85.96％respec-tively),and the difference was statistically significant(x2=6.497,7.987,P＜0.05).Multivariate COX pro-portional regression analysis showed that TNM stage Ⅲ,positive expression of KRT15 protein and positive expression of KRT18 protein were risk factors affecting the survival of patients with colorectal cancer(P＜0.05).Conclusion The expression of KRT15 and KRT18 protein in colorectal cancer tissues can provide ref-erence for prognosis assessment of patients with colorectal cancer.

The identification of clinical questions for clinical practice guidelines of Chinese patent medicine （CPM） is important for subsequent evidence retrieval， evaluation of evidence quality， formation of recommendations. This paper described a methodological proposal for the identification of clinical questions for CPM guidelines to highlight the characteristics of Chinese patent medicine and reflect its effect in specific stage of the disease. Considering four aspects， namely， the drug of Chinese patent medicine （D）， the specific disease stage （S）， comparison （C）， and specific outcome （O）， DSCO framework has been proposed to formulate the clinical questions. Multi-source information through scientific research， policy or standard documents， and clinical data are suggested for collecting clinical questions， and clear selection criteria should be set to finalize the clinical questions to be addressed by the guideline. In addition， the above process needs to be transparently and publicly reported in order to ensure the clarity and completeness of the guidelines.
