With the rapid development of information technology， research on ancient TCM books has shifted from the traditional collation and digitization into intelligent knowledge service， thereby achieving the deep integration of ancient TCM books collation and clinical needs. Based on the clinical problem and knowledge element theory， we implemented in-depth indexing and knowledge mining for 600 kinds of ancient TCM books， built a knowledge sharing service platform for ancient TCM books by integrating database， cloud platform， knowledge graph and other technologies， and carried out the thematic literature research and developed databases for four major diseases including stroke， heart failure， liver cirrhosis， and diabetes. The digital intelligence products have been applied in hundreds of hospitals for evaluation and feedback. Finally， through "digital processing plus intelligent application"， the two-way interaction between ancient TCM books and current clinical practice is realized， and the path and paradigm of ancient TCM books knowledge serving the modern prevention and control of major diseases is formed， providing reference for the innovative utilization of ancient TCM books.

Objective:To explore the effect of comprehensive moxibustion with Huolong cupping in patients with lung-spleen qi deficiency type allergic rhinitis.Methods:This study was a randomized controlled trial. From October 2022 to April 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 66 patients with lung-spleen qi deficiency type allergic rhinitis who visited the Otolaryngology Head and Neck Clinic of Ruikang Hospital Affiliated to Guangxi University of Chinese Medicine as the research subject. The patients were randomly divided into an experimental group ( n=33) and a control group ( n=33). Both groups received routine oral Chinese medicine treatment. On the basis of routine treatment, the experimental group performed comprehensive moxibustion with Huolong cupping on the meridians of the Du meridian and bladder meridian. This study compared the scores of Nasal Airway Resistance (NAR), Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and Chinese version of Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (RQLQ) between two groups of patients before and after intervention. Results:Eventually 30 patients in each of the experimental group and control group completed the study. After intervention, the NAR score of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Repeated measures analysis of variance showed that with the increase of treatment time, the TNSS, VAS, and RQLQ scores of the experimental group were lower than those of the control group with statistical differences ( P<0.05), and the time effect, inter group effect, and interaction effect were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Huolong cupping comprehensive moxibustion can reduce nasal resistance, meliorate nasal symptoms and accompanying nasal symptoms, and improve the quality of life of patients.

In atherosclerosis, chronic inflammatory processes in local diseased areas may lead to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In this study, we devised a highly sensitive H₂O₂-scavenging nano-bionic system loaded with probucol (RPP-PU), to treat atherosclerosis more effectively. The RPP material had high sensitivity to H₂O₂, and the response sensitivity could be reduced from 40 to 10 μmol/L which was close to the lowest concentration of H₂O₂ levels of the pathological environment. RPP-PU delayed the release and prolonged the duration of PU in vivo. In Apolipoprotein E deficient (ApoE^‒/‒) mice, RPP-PU effectively eliminated pathological ROS, reduced the level of lipids and related metabolic enzymes, and significantly decreased the area of vascular plaques and fibers. Our study demonstrated that the H₂O₂-scavenging nano-bionic system could scavenge the abundant ROS in the atherosclerosis lesion, thereby reducing the oxidative stress for treating atherosclerosis and thus achieve the therapeutic goals with atherosclerosis more desirably.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between the expressions of miR-524-5p and sex determining region Y box protein 9 (SOX9) in advanced gastric cancer and their influences on the efficacy and prognosis of chemotherapy.Methods:A total of 82 patients diagnosed as advanced gastric cancer who received DCF (docetaxel + cisplatin + fluorouracil) chemotherapy in 910th Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force of Chinese People′s Liberation Army from January 2015 to December 2017 were selected as the research objects. The expression levels of miR-524-5p and SOX9 in gastric cancer tissues were detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR. The correlation between the expressions of miR-524-5p and SOX9 was analyzed, the total effective rates of chemotherapy in patients with different miR-524-5p and SOX9 expression levels were compared, and the predictive value of miR-524-5p combined with SOX9 on the efficacy of chemotherapy was analyzed. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were analyzed.Results:The expressions of miR-524-5p and SOX9 were not related to gender or age of patients with advanced gastric cancer (all P>0.05), but were related to the degree of differentiation ( χ2=3.577, P=0.001; χ2=5.654, P<0.001) and distant metastasis ( χ2=2.466, P=0.016; χ2=5.218, P<0.001) of patients with advanced gastric cancer. There was a negative correlation between the expressions of miR-524-5p and SOX9 in advanced gastric cancer ( r=-0.348, P=0.001). According to the median expressions of miR-524-5p and SOX9 in gastric cancer tissues, patients were divided into high expression and low expression groups, miR-524-5p≥0.64 was high expression ( n=41), <0.64 was low expression ( n=41), SOX9≥1.84 was high expression ( n=41), and <1.84 was low expression ( n=41). The total effective rate of advanced gastric cancer patients with high expression of miR-524-5p was 58.54% (24/41), which was higher than that of patients with low expression of miR-524-5p (24.39%, 10/41), and there was a statistically significant difference ( χ2=9.484, P=0.002). The total effective rate of advanced gastric cancer patients with high expression of SOX9 was 21.95% (9/41), which was lower than 60.97% (25/41) of patients with low expression of SOX9, and there was a statistically significant difference ( χ2=12.863, P<0.001). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the expressions of miR-524-5p and SOX9 had predictive value for the efficacy of chemotherapy, and the area under the curve was 0.753 (95% CI: 0.644-0.861, P<0.001) and 0.660 (95% CI: 0.540-0.780, P=0.014) respectively. The combination of miR-524-5p and SOX9 had predictive value for the efficacy of chemotherapy, and the area under the curve was 0.768 (95% CI: 0.667-0.868, P<0.001). The median PFS and OS of patients with high expression of miR-524-5p were 8 months and 14 months, which were longer than those of patients with low expression of miR-524-5p (6 months, 9 months), and there were statistically significant differences ( χ2=21.160, P<0.001; χ2=29.730, P<0.001). The median PFS and OS of patients with high expression of SOX9 were 7 months and 10 months, which were shorter than those of patients with low expression of SOX9 (8 months, 12 months), and there were statistically significant differences ( χ2=6.345, P=0.012; χ2=4.107, P=0.043). Conclusion:There is a negative correlation between the expressions of miR-524-5p and SOX9 in advanced gastric cancer tissues. The chemotherapy efficacy and prognosis of patients with high expression of miR-524-5p and low expression of SOX9 are better than those of patients with low expression of miR-524-5p and high expression of SOX9.

Objective:Analyze epidemiological situation of dengue fever,and survey impacts of four serotypes dengue viruses in Guangzhou, 2019.Methods:Information of patients was collected in Notifiable Infectious Disease Report System (NIDRS). Spatial autocorrelation of dengue cases was evaluated using ArcGIS version 10.2. Serum samples were tested by real-time PCR. Virus strains were isolated from positive sera. Then E gene was sequenced. Phylogenetic trees were including PhyMLsoftwarev 3.1.Results:A total of 1 655 dengue cases, consisted of 1 382 local cases and 273 imported cases, was confirmed in 2019. The incidence was 11.10 per 100 000 dengue cases were autocorrelated in Guangzhou. There were 18 high-high clusters. Most of the imported dengue cases were imported from Southeast Asian countries (86.08%,235/273) and African countries (2.56%,7/273). Of 749 serum samples detected by real-time PCR, the positive rate was 93.06% (697/749). Four hundred and sixty-four dengue virus strains had been isolated in 2019. Compared with data from the genotype tree of the former years, no genotype shift was discovered. Serotype 1 was still predominant. Serotype 2 was the significant strain in Baiyun district and Liwan district.Conclusions:Dengue fever was spreading all over Guangzhou in 2019. The suburban areas, which played a more critical role in causing the spread and outbreak of dengue fever, should be given more prominence. Inspection at ports should be enforced to prevent importing cases from African countries and Southeast Asian countries. The risk of serotype 2 cannot be overlooked. Four serotypes dengue viruses prevailed simultaneously in Guangzhou, which warns us to take precaution of severe dengue outbreaks.

Objective: To evaluate the value of ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration(US-FNA) combined with detection of BRAF V600E and thyroid imaging reporting and data system(TI-RADS) in diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules. Methods: In this study, 123 operative thyroid nodules from 114 patients who underwent US-FNA and detection of BRAF V600E were enrolled. TI-RADS was apply for the classification of each nodule before surgery. Specimens from each nodule were subjected for hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and cytological diagnosis and detection of BRAF V600E mutation. Results: ①BRAF V600E mutation was found in 71 (71/123) nodules with histologic confirmation of papillary-thyroid carcinoma, 58 of which were cytologically diagnosed as carcinoma and 13 were indeterminate. Compared with the postoperative pathological results, US-FNA combined with BRAF V600E could improve the sensitivity and accuracy of diagnosis to thyroid nodules compared with individual US-FNA, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.001). ②The mutation rate of BRAF V600E was associated with thyroid capsular invasion(χ²=8.44, P=0.004), and combined with TI-RADS could indicate the high-risk of this invasion. ③Among 123 operative nodules, 18 nodules were BRAF V600E negative and cytologically diagnosed as indetermination, 10 of which were TI-RADS 3b or above. After thyroidectomy, 6 nodules were confirmed as papillary-thyroid carcinoma, 1 nodule was thyroid follicular carcinoma, and 3 nodules were benign ones. Conclusions US-FNA combined with detection of BRAF V600E and TI-RADS can improve the diagnostic accuracy and decrease the misdiagnosis in indeterminate nodules.
