ObjectiveTo explore the effect of Tanreqing injection combined with Ceftazide on the clinical efficacy， lung function， and laboratory inflammatory index of patients suffering from phlegm heat obstructing lung syndrome in acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease （AECOPD）. MethodFrom June 2021 to June 2023， 76 patients diagnosed with phlegm heat obstructing lung syndrome in AECOPD were enrolled in the respiratory and critical medical department of Jieshou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. They were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group with 38 cases each. The control group used Ceftazidime intravenous drip and other conventional oxygen inhalation and antispasmodic treatment measures of western medicine. The observation group received Tanreqing injection intravenous drip based on the treatment of the control group， with a course of 10 days. The changes of laboratory indicators such as hs-CRP， calcitonin （PCT）， and interleukin-6 （IL-6） before and after treatment were analyzed， and the improvement of forced expiratory volume in the first second （FEV₁）， forced vital capacity （FVC）， one second rate （FEV₁/FVC）， assessment and improvement of the British Medical Research Society’s dyspnea index （mMRC）， self-evaluation test of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients （CAT）， and traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score was compared. In addition， the total effective rate between the two groups after treatment was compared. ResultAfter treatment， the hs-CRP， PCT， IL-6， FEV₁， FVC， FEV₁/FVC， mMRC， CAT scores， and traditional Chinese medicine syndrome evaluation of both groups improved （P<0.01）. After treatment， compared with the control group， the observation group showed more significant improvements in hs-CRP， PCT， IL-6， FEV₁， FVC， FEV₁/FVC， mMRC， CAT scores， and traditional Chinese medicine syndrome evaluation， and the difference was statistically significant （P<0.05，P<0.01）. The total clinical effective rate of the control group was 86.84% （33/38）， while that of the observation group was 94.74% （36/38）. The therapeutic effect of the observation group was better than that of the control group （χ²=8.471， P<0.05）. ConclusionTanreqing injection combined with Ceftazidime has obvious efficacy in the treatment of phlegm heat obstructing lung syndrome in AECOPD， which is better than the treatment of Ceftazidime antibiotics alone. It can reduce the risk of acute exacerbation， alleviate clinical symptoms， and delay the decline of lung function.

It is proposed that the disease mechanism evolution of systemic lupus erythematosus can be summarized into four stages： initial invasion and latency， the pathogenesis remains concealing； latent toxin accumulation， the disease gradually becomes apparent； active toxin begins damaging， the disease manifests aggressively； damage resulting to deficiency， the disease course prolonged. Based on the stages of latent toxin evolution， the syndrome differentiation and treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus can be summarized as follows： during the initial latent stage， characterized by latent dampness and heat stagnation， modified Sanren Decoction （三仁汤） should be used； in the toxin outbreak stage， marked by intense heat toxin， modified Xijiao Dihuang Decoction （犀角地黄汤） combined with modified Qingwen Baidu Decoction （清瘟败毒饮） should be used； during the toxin damage stage， which presents as latent toxin damaging zang-fu organs， modified Qinghao Biejia Decoction （青蒿鳖甲汤） should be used； in the healthy qi deficiency stage， characterized by deficiencies of qi， blood， yin， and yang， modified Xieli Shiquan Ointment （燮理十全膏） should be used.

“Deficiency cause， cold accumulation， and qi stagnation” originates from Essentials from the Golden Cabinet （《金匮要略》）， which is a guiding principle for the pathogenesis of women's diseases， pioneering the differentiation and treatment of women's diseases based on patterns， and having a profound influence on future generations. Following the classical principles and simplifying the complexities， this paper explored the pathogenesis and mechanism of polycystic ovary syndrome （PCOS） from the perspective of “deficiency cause， cold accumulation， and qi stagnation”， and believed that depletion of essence and blood， long-term accumulation of internal cold， and qi constraint and blood stasis are the causes of PCOS， with depletion of essence and blood， and lack of nourishment of zang-fu （脏腑） organs as the root， and cold pathogen invasion， qi constraint and blood stasis as the branch. The main treatment principle is “treating deficiency with supplementation”， and dispelling pathogen while reinforcing healthy qi， along with “treatment of cold by warming” and “treatment of stagnation by dispersing”. This is of great significance for the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome. Clinically， these methods can be used flexibly to guide treatment and formula selection for PCOS， with the goal of harmonizing qi and blood and regulating menstruation.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility and accuracy of computer vision-based artificial intelligence technology in detecting and recognizing instruments and organs in the scenario of radical laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer.Methods:Eight complete laparoscopic distal radical gastrectomy surgery videos were collected from four large tertiary hospitals in China (First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital [three cases], Liaoning Cancer Hospital [two cases], Liyang Branch of Jiangsu Province People's Hospital [two cases], and Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center [one case]). PR software was used to extract frames every 5–10 seconds and convert them into image frames. To ensure quality, deduplication was performed manually to remove obvious duplication and blurred image frames. After conversion and deduplication, there were 3369 frame images with a resolution of 1,920×1,080 PPI. LabelMe was used for instance segmentation of the images into the following 23 categories: veins, arteries, sutures, needle holders, ultrasonic knives, suction devices, bleeding, colon, forceps, gallbladder, small gauze, Hem-o-lok, Hem-o-lok appliers, electrocautery hooks, small intestine, hepatogastric ligaments, liver, omentum, pancreas, spleen, surgical staplers, stomach, and trocars. The frame images were randomly allocated to training and validation sets in a 9:1 ratio. The YOLOv8 deep learning framework was used for model training and validation. Precision, recall, average precision (AP), and mean average precision (mAP) were used to evaluate detection and recognition accuracy.Results:The training set contained 3032 frame images comprising 30 895 instance segmentation counts across 23 categories. The validation set contained 337 frame images comprising 3407 instance segmentation counts. The YOLOv8m model was used for training. The loss curve of the training set showed a smooth gradual decrease in loss value as the number of iteration calculations increased. In the training set, the AP values of all 23 categories were above 0.90, with a mAP of 0.99, whereas in the validation set, the mAP of the 23 categories was 0.82. As to individual categories, the AP values for ultrasonic knives, needle holders, forceps, gallbladders, small pieces of gauze, and surgical staplers were 0.96, 0.94, 0.91, 0.91, 0.91, and 0.91, respectively. The model successfully inferred and applied to a 5-minutes video segment of laparoscopic gastroenterostomy suturing.Conclusion:The primary finding of this multicenter study is that computer vision can efficiently, accurately, and in real-time detect organs and instruments in various scenarios of radical laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

Objective To evaluate the CT features and differential value of gastric leiomyomas(GLs)and gastric stromal tumors(GSTs)after propensity score matching.Methods Twenty-six GLs were 1∶1 propensity score matched to GSTs based on sex,age,tumor site and size.Tumor shape and contour,mucosal ulcer,tumor growth patterns,enhancement pattern and degree,the lon-gest diameter(LD)of the tumor,and the ratio of the LD to the vertical diameter(VD)were analyzed.CT signs included hemor-rhage,calcification,peripheral invasion,and distant metastasis,etc.Regression analysis was used to determine the best quantitative evaluation for differentiation of them.Results The presence of mucosal ulcer was significantly more frequent in GSTs than in GLs(P=0.032).Both tumors showed progressive enhancement;however,the enhancement degree of GSTs was significantly higher than GLs in the arterial and portal venous phases(P=0.004,P=0.002,respectively).The above influential factors were included in a regression analysis using enhancement degree of 18 HU and 23 HU in the arterial and portal venous phases as cutoff values respectively.An enhancement degree≤18 HU in the arterial phase was identified as an independent influential factor in the diagnosis of GLs[odds ratio(OR)=12.776,95％confidence interval(CI)1.270-128.535].No significant difference was found in other morphological characteristics(P＞0.05).Conclusion Less ulceration on the tumor surface and mild enhancement in arterial phase are characteristic features of GLs compared with GSTs.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of self-formulated Shenqi Buwei Decoction(derived from Huangqi Renshen Decoction)in treating patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)differentiated as lung-spleen qi deficiency syndrome.Methods A total of 110 patients with stable COPD differentiated as lung-spleen qi deficiency syndrome were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group,with 55 patients in each group.The control group was given Tiotropium Bromide Inhalation Powder for the inhalation treatment,and the observation group was given Shenqi Buwei Decoction on the basis of treatment for the control group,and the course of treatment covered 3 months.The changes of pulmonary function indicators of forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1),forced vital capacity(FVC),and one-second rate of FEV1/FVC,modified Medical Research Council index(mMRC)dyspnea scores,6-minute walk test(6MWT),COPD Assessment Test(CAT)scores,and traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome scores in the two groups were observed before and after treatment.After treatment,the clinical efficacy and safety of the two groups were evaluated.Results(1)During the trial,one patient was excluded and two patients fell off from the observation group,and three patients fell off from the control group.Eventually,52 patients in each of the two groups were included in the efficacy statistics.(2)After 3 months of treatment,the total effective rate of the observation group was 80.77%(42/52)and that of the control group was 67.31%(35/52).The intergroup comparison(tested by chi-square test)showed that the therapeutic effect of the observation group was slightly superior to that of the control group,but the difference was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).(3)In terms of indexes,After treatment,the levels of pulmonary function indicators of FEV1,FEV1/FVC in the control group and FEV1,FVC,FEV1/FVC in the observation group were significantly improved compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the improvement of FEV1,FVC,FEV1/FVC in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.05).(4)After treatment,the 6MWT,mMRC and CAT scores of the two groups were significantly improved compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the improvement in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.05).(5)After treatment,the TCM syndrome scores of the two groups of patients were significantly decreased in comparison with those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the decrease in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.05).(6)During the treatment process,no obvious adverse reactions occurred in the two groups of patients,there were no abnormal changes in the safety indicators,either.Conclusion On the basis of conventional western medicine treatment,the combined use of Shenqi Buwei Decoction exerts certain efficacy in the treatment of patients with stable COPD differentiated as lung-spleen qi deficiency syndrome.The combined therapy can effectively improve the ventilation function,relieve the clinical symptoms,improve the quality of life and delay the decline of lung function of the patients.

Purpose To investigate the expression of C1GALT1 in gastric cancer and its effect on the biological be-havior of BGC-823 in gastric cancer cells.Methods The ex-pression of C1GALT1 mRNA and protein in gastric cancer tis-sues and normal gastric mucosa,gastric cancer cells and normal gastric mucosal cells was analyzed by bioinformatics,qRT-PCR and Western blot;the transient transfection of siRNA into BGC-823 cells was designed with C1GALT1 cDNA sequence as the target.Transwell assay was used to detect the effect of C1GALT1-siRNA on the migration and invasion ability of BGC-823 cells in gastric cancer.Western blot method detected the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)-related proteins in BGC-823 after transfection of C1GALT1-siRNA.Re-sults C1GALT1 was highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues and cell lines BGC-823,SGC-7901 and MGC-803,and the ex-pression levels were positively correlated with gastric cancer pathological stages Ⅰ and Ⅱ(P＜0.05).After interfering with C1GALT1 in BGC-823 cells,the ability of migration and inva-sion decreased(P＜0.05),epithelial cell markers E-cadherin and Claudin-1 protein expression increased,while mesenchymal cell markers vimentin and Slug protein expression decreased(P＜0.05).Conclusion C1GALT1 is highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues and cells,silencing of C1GALT1 can inhibit mi-gration and invasion ability of gastric cancer,the mechanism may be related to EMT.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Ningxin decoction in treating patients with permanent atrial fibrillation(AF)of deficiency of both qi and yin type infected by coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19).Methods From February to August 2023,120 patients with permanent AF of deficiency of both qi and yin type infected by COVID-19 were collected from the outpatient clinic of Guang'anmen Hospital South Campus,China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences.Patients were randomly divided into a control group and a treatment group using a random number table method,there were 60 cases in each group,and 1 case fell off in each group,leaving 59 cases in each group.The treatment group was given Ningxin decoction(drug composition:Cassia branch 15 g,Cornus officinalis 15 g,Rehmannia 15 g,Rhodiola rosea 15 g,Ginseng 6 g,Mulberry parasitica 10 g,Coptis coptis 3 g,Salvia miltiorrhiza 12 g,Ligusticum chuanxiong 10 g,Ophiopogon 12 g,and schisandra Vinegar 6 g)using formula granules to rinse with water,twice a day.The control group was given 10 mg of coenzyme Q10 twice a day,and both groups were treated continuously for 4 weeks.The improvements in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)symptoms,including chest pain,dizziness,fatigue,lethargy,palpitations,chest tightness and shortness of breath,insomnia,and excessive dreams before and after treatment in two groups,as well as changes in heart rate variability(HRV)and heart rate deceleration indicators were observed.Results The treatment group showed significant therapeutic effects in improving chest pain,fatigue,palpitations,chest tightness and shortness of breath,there were also improvements in lethargy,insomnia,and excessive dreaming,there was no significant therapeutic effect in improving dizziness.The control group showed significant therapeutic effects in improving palpitations,there were also improvements in chest pain,chest tightness and shortness of breath,while there was no significant therapeutic effect in other aspects.The treatment group showed significantly higher effective rates in improving chest pain,fatigue,lethargy,chest tightness and shortness of breath,insomnia,and excessive dreaming compared to the control group[chest pain:95.45%(42/44)vs.78.57%(33/42),fatigue:83.67%(41/49)vs.31.25%(15/48),lethargy:73.91%(34/46)vs.12.77%(6/47),chest tightness and shortness of breath:88.89%(48/54)vs.63.64%(35/55),insomnia:78.43%(40/51)vs.12.24%(6/49),excessive dreaming:76.09%(35/46)vs.43.75%(21/48),all P<0.05].The standard deviation of all normal to normal RR intervals(SDNN),root mean square of the difference between adjacent NN intervals(RMSSD),standard deviation of all 5-minute RR intervals(SDANN),and percent of NN50 in the total number of NN intervals(PNN50)in both groups after treatment were significantly increased compared to before treatment,and the RMSSD,SDANN,and PNN50 in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group after treatment[RMSSD(ms):28.96±3.59 vs.24.34±2.66,SDANN(ms):108.55±11.80 vs.100.44±13.58,PNN50:7%(6%,7%)vs.5%(5%,6%),all P<0.05].There was no statistically significant difference in heart rate deceleration between the two groups before and after treatment.Conclusion Ningxin decoction has a good effect on the improvement of TCM syndromes and heart rate variability in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation of deficiency of both qi and yin type after being infected by COVID-19.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Lactic acid bacteria(LAB)were isolated and cultivated from the intestinal contents of rabbits by MRS-CaCO3 solid medium.Identification was achieved through morphological observa-tion,Gram staining,physiological and biochemical characterisation,16S rDNA sequence analysis,and ERIC-PCR analysis.Strains displaying typical Lactobacilli characteristics were exanimated for their biological characteristics,resistance properties,adherence capacity in vitro,colonization abili-ty in vivo,and safety profile.In this study,a total of four strains of Lactobacillus reuteri were iso-lated from rabbits,all of which exhibited typical biological characteristics of LAB.These strains demonstrated inhibitory effects on common pathogenic bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract,with the primary inhibitory substance being bacteriocin.Furthermore,they showed sensitivity to chlor-amphenicol,rifampicin,and erythromycin,and displayed a degree of tolerance to gastrointestinal conditions and high temperature.These stains were capable of successful colonization in rabbits with a higher degree of safety.This study lays a foundation for the development of LAB prepara-tions for the prevention and treatment of rabbit intestinal diseases.
