Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） thinking serves as a comprehensive cognitive approach of TCM in recognizing and solving problem. It encompasses specific techniques （methods）and particular structures （patterns） in application. Its essential characteristics include the holistic view of "harmony between humanity and nature"， the dialectical perspective of "differences and similarities in disease treatment"， and the practical outlook of "unity of knowledge and action". The methods of TCM thinking emphasizes the integration of multiple cognitive approaches， forming various modes of thinking such as TCM holistic thinking， TCM four-dimensional thinking， TCM Xiang （象） and numerical thinking， and TCM clinical thinking. Currently， TCM faces both opportunities and challenges. TCM thinking plays a crucial role in the inheritance and innovation pathways of TCM， such as "cultivating medicine through culture"， "leading medicine through pharmaceutical practices"， "boosting industries with pharmaceuticals"， and "benefiting the people through industry". At the same time， integrating TCM and modern technology not only enriches the connotation of TCM thinking， but also advances the innovation of TCM theories， addressing challenges in complex disease treatment， health management， and preventive healthcare. This integration promotes the continued prosperity of the TCM and accelerates its internationalization.

ObjectiveTo reveal the influence of Jianchangbang characteristic processing method on the change process of volatile components and the processing mechanism of reducing toxicity and increasing efficiency of Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex（MOC） by studying the changes in the composition and content of volatile components during the processing of ginger processed Xingpo pieces. MethodSamples of raw products， ginger juice moisturized products and stir-fried and heap moisturized products of MOC were taken according to the set time points， and headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry（HS-GC-MS） was used to determine the contents of volatile components in the samples， and the relative content of each component was obtained by peak area normalization. Principal component analysis（PCA） and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis（OPLS-DA） were performed on the sample data using SIMCA 14.1 software， and the differential components during the processing were screened with variable importance in the projection（VIP） value>1 as the indicator. ResultA total of 68 volatile components were identified in the samples， among which some of the chemical components with similar structures showed similar trends of changes， and there was also the phenomenon of interconversion between compounds. Compared with the raw products， the contents of 42 components in ginger juice moisturized products increased， while the contents of 25 components decreased， 19 components were unique， and 4 components were unique to the raw products. Compared with ginger juice moisturized products， MOC in the early stage of piling had three unique components， and the contents of 11 components such as cyclosativene and （+）-α-pinene increased， and the contents of 5 components such as tricyclic terpene and α-curcumene decreased， and ginger juice moisturized products had four unique components. Compared with the early stage of piling， in the later stage， the contents of 8 components such as （+）-α-pinene and camphene significantly increased， while the contents of 6 components such as linalool and α-selinene significantly decreased. During the processing of MOC， there were significant changes in the chemical composition of the samples before and after 20 days. The differences between ginger juice moistening and the early stage of piling， the early stage and the later stage of piling could be clearly distinguished. ConclusionDuring the preparation process of ginger processed Xingpo pieces， the addition of ginger juice can reduce the contents of stimulating components， and the contents of active components continue to increase in several stages， such as the addition of ginger juice， frying and heap moisturizing， the quality of the decoction pieces may change significantly at about 20 d of processing. This study can provide a research basis for exploring the processing mechanism of ginger processed Xingpo pieces.

Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） aromatherapy regulates the internal qi of the human body through the selection of specific aromatic medicinals， promoting the normal transportation and circulation of qi and blood and the coordination of zang-fu organs， and at the same time focusing on spiritual harmonization and nourishment， to achieve the therapeutic goal of nourishing both body and spirit. Its theoretical characteristics include the holism view of the unity of human beings and nature， the dynamic view of the balance of yin and yang， the pattern differentiation view of the three categories of disease cause， the preventive view of treating disease before it arises， and the regulation-care view of treating both body and spirit. From the perspective of qi theory， the theoretical connotation of TCM aromatherapy was analysed in depth， including the concept of life and disease， the concept of qi and blood， the theory of qi movement， and stressed the embodiment of the trinity view of body-qi-spirit in TCM aromatherapy， and the significant guidance of the principle of seeking the similar qi in TCM aromatherapy practice. This paper systematically summarized the theoretical characteristics and connotations of TCM aromatherapy， which could provide guidance for the practice of TCM aromatherapy.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the intervention effect of exposure and response prevention (ERP) on obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).Methods:PubMed, Web of Science Core Collection, EBSCO, Cochrane Library, Embase, Science Direct, Wanfang Data, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and VIP-CSTJ were used to collect randomized controlled studies related to ERP for OCD.Randomized controlled studies that met the criteria were included, with the score of Yale-Brown obsessive-compulsive scale as the primary outcome indicator and the scores of anxiety and depression scale as secondary outcome indicators, while the included literatures were evaluated for literature quality and data extraction.Review Manager 5.3 and Stata 16.0 softwares were used to conduct Meta-analysis on the extracted data.Results:Twenty-seven studies with a total of 1 239 patients were included, and 599 cases in the ERP group and 640 cases in the control group.Meta-analysis results showed that the efficacy of ERP group was significantly better than that of blank control group(MD=-6.55, 95% CI: -8.75--4.35, P<0.001) and significantly better than chlorpromazine control group treatment (MD=-5.88, 95% CI: -8.20--3.56, P<0.001) for improving patients' obsessive-compulsive symptoms, but not significantly different from CBT intervention (MD=0.21, 95% CI: -1.62-2.04, P=0.82), and the efficacy of ERP and CBT had no significant during the post-intervention follow-up period (MD=0.41, 95% CI: -2.45-3.27, P=0.78). For improving patients' depressed mood, ERP was effective in improving patients' depressed mood (SMD=-0.45, 95% CI: -0.74--0.17, P=0.002), but not significantly different from CBT (SMD=-0.05, 95% CI: -0.27-0.16, P=0.62). For improving anxiety, the efficacy of ERP group was not different from that of control group (SMD=-0.17, 95% CI: -0.56-0.23, P=0.41). Conclusion:ERP has good feasibility in improving obsessive-compulsive symptoms and depression in patients with OCD.However, long-term efficacy was not verified for improving anxiety and maintaining long-term efficacy during the follow-up period.

BACKGROUND: Weather conditions are a possible contributing factor to age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of irreversible loss of vision. The present study evaluated the joint effects of meteorological factors and fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) on AMD. METHODS: Data was extracted from a national cross-sectional survey conducted across 10 provinces in rural China. A total of 36,081 participants aged 40 and older were recruited. AMD was diagnosed clinically by slit-lamp ophthalmoscopy, fundus photography, and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT). Meteorological data were calculated by European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) reanalysis and were matched to participants' home addresses by latitude and longitude. Participants' individual PM_2.5 exposure concentrations were calculated by a satellite-based model at a 1-km resolution level. Multivariable-adjusted logistic regression models paired with interaction analysis were performed to investigate the joint effects of meteorological factors and PM_2.5 on AMD. RESULTS: The prevalence of AMD in the study population was 2.6% (95% CI 2.42-2.76%). The average annual PM_2.5 level during the study period was 63.1 ± 15.3 µg/m³. A significant positive association was detected between AMD and PM_2.5 level, temperature (T), and relative humidity (RH), in both the independent and the combined effect models. For PM_2.5, compared with the lowest quartile, the odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) across increasing quartiles were 0.828 (0.674,1.018), 1.105 (0.799,1.528), and 2.602 (1.516,4.468). Positive associations were observed between AMD and temperature, with ORs (95% CI) of 1.625 (1.059,2.494), 1.619 (1.026,2.553), and 3.276 (1.841,5.830), across increasing quartiles. In the interaction analysis, the estimated relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI) and the attributable proportion (AP) for combined atmospheric pressure and PM_2.5 was 0.864 (0.586,1.141) and 1.180 (0.768,1.592), respectively, indicating a synergistic effect between PM_2.5 and atmospheric pressure. CONCLUSIONS This study is among the first to characterize the coordinated effects of meteorological factors and PM_2.5 on AMD. The findings warrant further investigation to elucidate the relationship between ambient environment and AMD.

Objective:To investigate the effect of early continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) within 24 h on in-hospital mortality in patients with sepsis.Methods:This study retrospectively analyzed the patients diagnosed as sepsis in the Emergency Intensive Care Unit of the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from January 2013 to December 2017. According to the prognosis, the patients were divided into the survival group and death group. The clinical baseline data of the two groups were compared, and multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to screen out the risk factors of death in patients with sepsis and evaluate the effect of CRRT on mortality. According to whether CRRT was performed within 24 h after admission, the patients were divided into the CRRT group and non-CRRT group to compare fluid balance.Results:Among the 612 patients, 416 (67.9%) patients were male, the median age was 66 years; 362 patients survived and 250 patients died, with a mortality rate of 40.8%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the independent risk factors for death in patients with sepsis were: sex, simplified acute physiology score Ⅱ, sequential organ failure assessment, lactate, procalcitonin, and complicated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that patients received CRRT within 24 h had a higher risk of mortality ( OR=1.981 95% CI: 1.120-3.504, P=0.019). There was a statistically significant difference in fluid balance between the CRRT group and the non-CRRT group on the first day ( P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in total fluid balance in the first 3 days ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Early CRRT within 24 h cannot reduce the in-hospital mortality of patients with sepsis. The failure of CRRT which did not timely correct the volume overload state of patients with sepsis after fluid resuscitation may affect the outcome.

Objective:To explore the value of early dynamic changes of platelet count (PLT) in evaluating the prognosis of sepsis patients.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to select sepsis patients admitted to the Emergency Intensive Care Unit (EICU) of the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from January 2013 to December 2017. The sepsis patients were divided into the survival group and death group according to the 28-day prognosis after EICU admission. The basic and clinical data of the two groups of patients were compared, and the risk factors for the 28-day prognosis of sepsis patients were screened, and the value of platelet change (ΔPLT) in the prognosis of sepsis was evaluated.Results:A total of 549 sepsis patients were included, 184 died within 28 days, and 365 survived, with a 28-day mortality rate of 33.5%. Compared with the survival group, the death group had a higher proportion of males, were older, and had more chronic diseases and tumors such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); simplified acute physiology score Ⅱ (SAPS-Ⅱ), sequential organ failure score (SOFA), procalcitonin, C-reactive protein, blood urea nitrogen, fibrinogen, and mean arterial pressure were lower, the PLT was lower on d1-5, the value of ΔPLT d2-5 were decreased more significantly, and the platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) value was higher, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in mean platelet volume and platelet distribution width between the two groups (all P>0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that COPD ( OR=4.167, 95% CI: 1.769-9.815, P<0.001), malignant tumor ( OR=1.815, 95% CI: 1.034-3.817, P=0.038), SAPS-Ⅱ score ( OR=1.071, 95% CI: 1.046-1.096, P<0.001), SOFA score ( OR=1.060, 95% CI: 1.001-1.021, P=0.041), and PLR value ( OR=1.001, 95% CI: 1.001-1.002, P<0.001) were independent risk factors affecting the 28-day prognosis of sepsis patients. PLT d1 ( OR=0.996, 95% CI: 0.995-0.998, P<0.001) was a protective factor for better prognosis in sepsis patients. The ROC curve analysis showed that the SAPS-Ⅱ score and SOFA score could predict the 28-day ICU prognosis of sepsis patients, and the SAPS-Ⅱ score had the largest area under the ROC curve (AUC=0.726). The AUC (0.678) of ΔPLT d4 was greater than those of the other days. When the optimal critical value was -26.5×10 9/L, the sensitivity was 57.8% and the specificity was 71.7%. Conclusions:The early dynamic changes of PLT are closely related to the prognosis of sepsis patients, which is worthy of clinical reference and promotion.

Objective:To analyze the hepatic hemodynamics changes after partial splenic embolization in patients with cirrhosis and hypersplenism.Methods:A total of 26 patients with cirrhosis and hypersplenism who underwent partial splenic embolization in the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from April 2018 to June 2019 were included in this study. The clinical data was retrospectively studied. The study objects consisted of 19 males and 7 females with an average of 55 years. Whole-liver perfusion enhanced CT imaging scan was performed for all patients. Changes in laboratory indexes and the blood perfusion of the liver sections including hepatic arterial perfusion, portal venous perfusion, total liver perfusion and hepatic arterial perfusion indexes before PSE and postoperative 1 month were compared.Results:The postoperative leukocyte and platelet counts increased, and the prothrombin time decreased in the 26 patient, and the differences were significant ( P<0.05). The hepatic arterial perfusion of the left lateral section, left medial section, right anterior section and right posterior section increased in postoperative 1 month, from 10.0 (7.0, 13.5) ml·min -1·(100 ml) -1, 9.3 (5.4, 12.8) ml·min -1·(100 ml) -1, 8.0 (6.0, 11.2) ml·min -1·(100 ml) -1, 10.7 (7.1, 13.8) ml·min -1·(100 ml) -1 to 7.7 (4.2, 11.0) ml·min -1·(100 ml) -1, 6.9 (2.6, 10.2) ml·min -1·(100 ml) -1, 7.1 (4.1, 8.7) ml·min -1·(100 ml) -1, 5.9 (4.4, 8.5) ml·min -1·(100 ml) -1, respectively. The differences were all significantly different ( P<0.05). There were no significant difference in portal venous perfusion and total liver perfusion before and after operation ( P>0.05). The hepatic arterial perfusion index of left lateral section, right anterior section and right posterior section increased after operation ( P<0.05). Conclusion:For patients with cirrhosis and hypersplenism who underwent partial splenic embolization, the state of hypersplenism was relieved, the hepatic arterial blood flow increased, and the liver function improved.

ABSTRACT:Objective To test the expressions of heat shock transcription factor 1 (HSF1 )and XIAP-associated factor 1 (XAF1 )in different endometrial tissues,and analyze the association between their expressions and the clinicopathological features of this malignancy.Methods The expressions of HSF1 and XAF1 in 64 cases of endometria1 carcinoma (EC group)and 33 cases of normal endometrial tissues (NE group)were detected with immunohistochemistry S-P method.The correlation was observed.Results The positive expression rate of HSF1 was much higher in EC group than in NE group (76.6% vs .36.4%,P <0.05).The positive rate of XAF1 was 31.2% in EC group and 72.7% in NE group (P <0.05).The positive expressions of HSF1 and different subgroups of histological grade,myometrial invasion and lymph node metastasis were significantly different (P <0.05)in EC group.The positive expressions of XAF1 and different subgroups of histological grade,myometrial invasion,clinical stage and lymph node metastasis were significantly different (P < 0.05 )in EC group.There was a negative correlation between HSF1 and XAF1 in EC group (P <0.05).Conclusion In EC group,the high expression of HSF1 may inhibit the growth of XAF1 expression,cause excessive growth of cancer cells,reduce the apoptosis of cancer cells,and finally lead to the further development of tumors.
