The concept of "holism of body and spirit" originated in the pre-Qin period as a philosophical idea to understand the world,and later became an important theory adopted in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Acupuncture,as a traditional TCM treatment modality,can be guided by the theory of "holism of body and spirit" in the clinical treatment of psychosomatic disorders. However,there is no clear and standardized operational model based on this theory currently. The combination of theory and practice is essential for the effective application and development of TCM. Currently,there are numerous schools and methods of acupuncture treatment for psychosomatic disorders,and the analytical perspectives on psychosomatic disorders vary,which leads to the complexity of integrating theory and practice and makes it difficult to conclude and summarize the standardized process. Given that TCM is a classical and time-honored medical science,tracing its historical origins and summarizing the diagnostic and treatment plans of different representative physicians might help in advancing acupuncture treatment for psychosomatic disorders. This paper analyzes and discusses the connection between philosophical ideas and medical theories,the application of theories into practice,and the analysis and summary of medical case literature,and puts forward the specific mode of acupuncture treatment of psychosomatic disorders,so as to provide new ideas and references for clinical practice.

Objective To observe the value of amide proton transfer(APT)imaging for assessing central nervous system damages in stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)and the correlations with MR spectroscopy(MRS)and lung function parameters.Methods Thirty-nine stable COPD patients(COPD group)and 34 healthy subjects(control group)were prospectively enrolled.Images of plain head MR,3D-APT and thalami MRS were acquired,and parameters of lung function were obtained.The basic data,outcomes of voxel-based morphometry(VBM)analysis,APT values in multiple brain regions and thalami MRS metabolite parameters were compared between groups,and the correlations of thalamus APT values with thalamus MRS metabolites parameters and lung function parameters were explored.Results Lung function parameters in COPD group were lower than those in control group,while cerebrospinal fluid volume(CSFV)and total brain volume(TIV)in COPD group were lager than those in control group(all P＜0.05).Compared with those in control group,APT values of bilateral thalami,right temporal lobe and right occipital lobe in COPD group were higher,and the peak value of N-acetyl aspartate(NAA)of bilateral thalami and NAA/creatin of right thalamus in COPD group were lower(all P＜0.05).Within COPD group,APT values of bilateral thalami were positively correlated(r=0.641),while APT values of left thalamus showed negative correlation(r=-0.435)with NAA values left thalamus and negative correlation(r=-0.432)with the forced expiratory volume in the first one second after bronchodilator administration(FEV1)(all P＜0.05).Conclusion APT values of central nervous system elevated and NAA values decreased in COPD patients.There were negative correlations between left thalamus APT and NAA values,also between APT values of left thalamus and FEV1.

Purpose The feasibility and application value of 3D amide proton transfer weighted(APTw)imaging is used to evaluate central nervous system injury in stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)patients.Materials and Methods A total of 36 COPD patients who attended the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine from January 2022 to August 2023 were selected along with 31 age-and gender-matched healthy volunteers.All subjects underwent pulmonary function tests,routine blood tests,Montreal cognitive assessment scale(MoCA)assessment and 3.0T MRI scan.The APT values of each brain region were measured independently and assessed for consistency by two observers,and the differences in APT values of each brain region were compared between the two groups to explore the correlation between the APT values of multiple brain regions and the pulmonary function,blood indices,and MoCA scores.Results The measurement consistency of APT values in multiple brain regions among observers was good(ICC>0.75).The APT values of brain regions in the COPD group were higher than those in the healthy control group,with statistically significant differences between the bilateral pallidum(t=2.490,2.168),the right thalamus(t=2.754),the nucleus accumbens(t=2.137),the temporal lobe gray matter(t=3.533)and the occipital lobe gray matter(t=2.345)compared with those in the healthy control group(all P<0.05);the APT values of the multiple brain regions were in a negative correlation(r=-0.390--0.084),with a stronger correlation between bilateral pallidum(r=-0.390,-0.370,both P<0.05);lung function indexes(forced vital capacity,forced expiratory volume in one second,forced expiratory volume in one second/forced vital capacity,forced expiratory volume in one second/prediction)in the COPD group showed a negative correlation trend with the APT values of the multibulbar areas(r=-0.339--0.010,all P>0.05),while white blood cell count,red blood cell count,hemoglobin concentration and platelet count showed a positive correlation trend with multi brain APT values(r=0.084-0.587).Conclusion As a novel MRI technology,APTw has potential application value in early detection of central nervous system damage in COPD patients and non-invasive monitoring of disease progression.

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease(ASCVD)frequently results in sudden death and poses a serious threat to public health worldwide.The drugs approved for the prevention and treatment of ASCVD are usually used in combination but are inefficient owing to their side effects and single therapeutic targets.Therefore,the use of natural products in developing drugs for the prevention and treatment of ASCVD has received great scholarly attention.Andrographolide(AG)is a diterpenoid lactone compound extracted from Andrographis paniculata.In addition to its use in conditions such as sore throat,AG can be used to prevent and treat ASCVD.It is different from drugs that are commonly used in the prevention and treatment of ASCVD and can not only treat obesity,diabetes,hyperlipidaemia and ASCVD but also inhibit the pathological process of atherosclerosis(AS)including lipid accumulation,inflammation,oxidative stress and cellular abnormalities by regulating various targets and pathways.However,the pharmaco-logical mechanisms of AG underlying the prevention and treatment of ASCVD have not been corrobo-rated,which may hinder its clinical development and application.Therefore,this review summarizes the physiological and pathological mechanisms underlying the development of ASCVD and the in vivo and in vitro pharmacological effects of AG on the relative risk factors of AS and ASCVD.The findings support the use of the old pharmacological compound('old bottle')as a novel drug('novel wine')for the pre-vention and treatment of ASCVD.Additionally,this review summarizes studies on the availability as well as pharmaceutical and pharmacokinetic properties of AG,aiming to provide more information regarding the clinical application and further research and development of AG.

Objective: To investigate the role of short-term starvation (STS) in alleviating hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice and possible mechanism of action. Methods: Wild-type male C57BL/6 mice aged 8 weeks were randomly divided into 75% hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury group (IR group), STS+75% hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury group (STS group), and sirtinol+STS+75% hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury group (SIR group), using a random number table, and sham-operation groups (IR-Sham group, STS-Sham group, and SIR-Sham group) were also established. The serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were measured, and the histomorphological changes of the liver were observed, as well as the expression of Sirt1, LC3B, and P62 proteins in liver tissue and the results of LC3B fluorescence staining. An analysis of variance was used for comparison of data between multiple groups, and the t-test was used for comparison of data between two groups. Results: Compared with the IR group, the STS group had significant reductions in the serum levels of ALT (3 152.7 ± 735.6 U/L vs 8 414.2 ± 1 052.2 U/L, P < 0.01) and AST (3 577.0 ± 714.0 U/L vs 10 845.8 ± 1 145.7 U/L, P < 0.01) and significant alleviation of liver pathological injury (Suzuki score: 1.50±0.55 vs 3.50±0.55, P < 0.01). Compared with the STS group, the SIR group had significant increases in the serum levels of ALT (7 002.7 ± 1 485.2 U/L vs 3 152.7 ± 735.6 U/L, P < 0.01) and AST (8 980.7 ± 1 739.1 U/L vs 3 577.0 ± 714.0 U/L, P < 0.01) and significant exacerbation of liver pathological injury (Suzuki score: 3.33 ± 0.52 vs 1.50 ± 0.55, P < 0.01). Compared with the IR group and the IR-Sham group, the STS group and the STS-Sham group had significant increases in the mRNA and protein expression of Sirt1 and the protein expression of LC3B and a significant reduction in the protein expression of P62, as well as a significant increase in the percentage of LC3B-positive cells in liver tissue (22.83% ± 5.19% / 22.17% ± 4.83% vs 10.16% ± 3.06% / 10.83% ± 1.94%, both P < 0.01). Compared with the STS group and the STS-Sham group, the SIR group and the SIR-Sham group had significant reductions in the expression of Sirt1 and LC3B proteins and a significant increase in the expression of P62 protein, as well as a significant reduction in the percentage of LC3B-positive cells in liver tissue (11.83% ± 9.24% / 14.67% ± 4.68% vs 22.83% ± 5.19% / 22.17% ± 4.83%, both P < 0.01). Conclusion STS can effectively alleviate hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury, and its protective effect may be associated with increasing the expression of Sirt1, inducing and promoting hepatocyte autophagy, and reducing hepatocyte death.

Objective To compare the efficacy of surgical drainage versus repair in the treatment of iatrogenic injury of the distal common bile duct detected during operation,and to evaluate the effect of gastrobiliary duct drainage.Methods Patients with iatrogenic choledochal injury were divided into two groups:the drainage group (n =17) and the repair group (n =7).Data on the amounts of postoperative biliary and abdominal cavity drainage,gastrointestinal function recovery,the duration of biliary drainage and hospitalization were compared.Results When compared with the repair group,there were no significant differences in the amounts of postoperative biliary drainage [(310.0± 112.0) vs.(264.0± 144.0) ml] and abdominal cavity drainage [(42.0±25.0) ml vs.(125.0± 195.0) ml)] (both P＞0.05).However,gastrointestinal function recovery [(3.0±1.5)d vs.(4.7±2.0)d],durations of biliary drainage [(7.5±1.0)d vs.(12.7±5.4)d] and hospitalization [(9.5±1.5)d vs.(15.1±5.6)d] of the drainage group were significantly shorter than the repair group (P＜ 0.05).No biliary strictures of cholangitis were detected in the two groups.Conclusion When compared with traditional repair,gastrobiliary drainage was a simpler,safer,and more effective therapeutic strategy for patients with iatrogenic distal common bile duct injury,and with a quicker recovery after treatment.

Objective To evaluate gastrobiliary duct drainage in the treatment for iatrogenic distal common bile duct injury found during the operation.Methods We analyzed clinical data of 17 cases with application of gastrobiliary duct drainage in immediate treatment for the injury of distal common bile duct found during the operation from June 2010 to June 2016.Postoperative bile drainage,postoperative gastrointestinal function recovery,time for removal of the gastrobiliary duct and hospitalization time were recorded.Postoperative bile leakage,intestinal fistula and pancreatic leakage were observed.Patients were followed up until June 2016.Results The mean volume of bile drainage on the third postoperative day were (310 ± 112)ml,the mean time of postoperative gastrointestinal function recovery were (3.0 ± 1.5) days,time for removal of the gastrobiliary stent were (7.5 ± 1.0) days and hospitalization time were (9.5 ± 1.5) days.There was no postoperative bile leakage,intestinal fistula and pancreatic leakage.All patients were followed up for a median time of 12 months (range,1-45 months).Meanwhile,we found no significant biliary strictures and cholangitis patients.Conclusion Gastrobiliary duct drainage is a simple,rational and effective treatment for iatrogenic injury of distal common bile duct during common bile duct exploration.

Objective To study the effectiveness of different treatment modalities for iatrogenic injury of distal common bile duct during operation.Methods We browsed Chinese Medical Full-text Data-base with the term of “distal common bile duct injury”.All the clinical studies associated with perioperative latrogenic injury of distal common bile duct and adjacent tissue published after 1990 were enrolled,and we collected the clinical data,mortality and reoperation rate with different treatments for analysis.Results Thirty-four case series and case reports with 233 patients were included.14 patients with isolated duodenal injury were excluded.The overall mortality of the remaining 219 patients was 9.6％,and the reoperation rate was 17.4％.A total of 145 patients who were diagnosed with distal common bile duct injury during and after operation from 21 articles were compared.The mortality and reoperation rate were both 1.9％ among 106 patients who were diagnosed during operation.The figures were 43.6％,and 84.6％ among 39 patients who were diagnosed after operation,respectively.In 9 articles with 46 patients,the clinical outcomes of 21 patients who were treated by intraoperative suture was compared with 25 patients who underwent enhanced biliary and retroperitoneal drainage.The mortality and reoperation rates were 0 in both groups.Conclusions Early detection and management are crucial to perioperative common bile duct injury.Furthermore,no significant difference of clinical outcomes observed between bile drainage and perforation suture groups.

Objective To establish an animal model with installation of gastrobiliary duct drainage (GBDD) in the primary suture after exploration of common bile duct, to assess the safety and feasibility of GBDD. Methods Thirty dogs were randomly divided into three groups: control group (n=5), primary suture group (n= 10) and GBDD group (n= 15). Serum TBil levels, bile leakage,and complications were observed and compared. Results No increase in serum TBil level was observed in the control group. However, serum TBil levels were significantly increased in the primary suture group compared to the GBDD group (P＜0. 01). GBDD were all successfully withdrawn at mean (7. 0±1.7) days after the operation. No bile leakage was found in the GBDD group, which was significantly different compared to 5/10 bile leakage cases in primary suture group (P＜0. 05). There were 3/10 cases of bile peritonitis, infection of incisional wound and splitted in the primary suture group, while there were no such complications in the GBDD group (all P＞0.05). Conclusions GBDD is safe and feasible. It can shorten biliary drainage time and prevent occurrence of bile leakage.Therefore, it has unique value in clinical application.
