To promote the construction of a wound repair and regeneration system with Chinese characteristics, it is necessary to follow the principle of combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and integrate theory, clinical practice, and teaching. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes a holistic concept and the principle of dialectical treatment, while Western medicine focuses on etiological analysis and local treatment. The combination of Chinese and Western medicine can complement each other's advantages and improve treatment effectiveness. The key technological innovations in repairing and regenerating systems cover areas such as drug therapy, physical therapy, and the application of biomaterials. This article discusses the development potential and challenges of combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine in the field of wound repair and regeneration, providing new ideas and methods for the development of wound repair and regeneration. It is expected to bring better medical services and treatment effects to patients undergoing repair and regeneration.

ObjectiveTo investigate the protective effect of cytochrome P4502D6 (CYP2D6) and cytochrome P4503A4 (CYP3A4), key enzymes of drug metabolism in liver, on acute liver injury in water extract of Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (WEOGRR). MethodHealthy male Kunming mice were divided into normal group, model group, WEOGRR low-, medium- and high-dose groups (5, 10, 15 g·kg-1·d-1) and positive drug group (diammonium glycyrrhizinate, 75 mg·kg-1·d-1), with 10 in each group. One week after preventive administration, acute liver injury model was induced by single intragastric administration of 270 mg·kg-1 Tripterygium Glycosides tablets, and samples were collected after 18 h. The pathological changes of liver were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Serum liver function indexes including alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), γ-glutamyl transpeptadase (γ-GT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and total bilirubin (TBIL) as well as the levels of oxidative stress indexes including malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in hepatocytes were determined by biochemical method. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) and Western blot were performed to detect the mRNA and protein expression levels of CYP2D6 and CYP3A4, respectively. ResultCompared with normal group, model group had significant hepatocyte swelling and inflammatory cell infiltration (P<0.01), increased AST, ALT, γ-GT, ALP and TBIL (P<0.05), elevated MDA and decreased SOD (P<0.01) as well as down-regulated mRNA and protein expression levels of CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the normal group had intact liver structure without obvious abnormality, and the WEOGRR groups and positive drug group presented alleviated hepatocyte swelling and inflammatory cell infiltration (P<0.01), reduced AST, ALT, γ-GT, ALP and TBIL (P<0.01), lowered MDA and increased SOD (P<0.01) as well as up-regulated expression levels of CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 (P<0.01). ConclusionThe protective effect of WEOGRR on acute liver injury induced by Tripterygium glycosides tablets may be related to reducing the contents of AST, ALT, γ-GT, ALP and TBIL in serum, inhibiting MDA and increasing the activity of SOD in liver cells, and enhancing the activities of CYP2D6 and CYP3A4, thus accelerating the metabolism of toxic substances.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the protective effect and mechanism of Kuntai (KT) Capsule on angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced hypertension in ovariectomized (OVX) rats.
METHODS:
Fifty-four rats were randomly divided into 6 groups according to a random number table, 9 in each group: control, OVX sham+Ang II, OVX, OVX+Ang II, OVX+Ang II +E2, and OVX+Ang II +KT. OVX rats model was constructed by retroperitoneal bilateral ovariectomy. After 4 weeks of pretreatment with KT Capsule [0.8 g/(kg·d) and 17- β -estradiol (E2, 1.2 mg/(kg·d)] respectively, Ang II was injected into a micro-osmotic pump with a syringe to establish a hypertensive rat model. Blood pressure of rat tail artery was measured in a wake state of rats using a non-invasive sphygmomanometer. Blood pressure changes were compared between the intervention groups (OVX+Ang II +KT, OVX+Ang II +E2) and the negative control group (OVX+Ang II). Serum malondialdehyde (MDA) level and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were detected respectively. The expressions of oxidative stress-related protein superoxide dismutase2 (SOD2) and anti-thioredoxin (TRX), autophagy marker protein [beclin1, light chain (LC) 3 II/I ratio and autophagy canonical pathway protein phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/serine/threonine kinase (AKT)-mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)] were evaluated by Western blotting.
RESULTS:
Compared with the OVX+Ang II group, the systolic blood pressure of OVX+Ang II +KT group was significantly lowered (P<0.05) but not the diastolic blood pressure. Besides, SOD2 and TRX protein levels in mycardial tissues were significantly reduced in the OVX+Ang II +KT group compared with the OVX+Ang II group (P<0.05). Oxidative stress serum markers MDA and SOD were down- and up-regulated in the OVX+Ang II +KT group, respectively (P<0.05). Compared with OVX+Ang II group, the levels of cardiac proteins beclin-1 and LC3II/LC3 I in OVX+Ang II +KT group were also up-regulated (P<0.05), and the expression levels of p-PI3K, p-AKT and mTOR protein were down-regulated (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
KT could protect blood pressure of Ang II-induced OVX rats by inhibiting oxidative stress and up-regulating protective autophagy.

To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of dupilumab in the treatment of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD) in China. A small sample self-controlled study before and after treatment was conducted to retrospective analysis patients with moderate to severe AD treated with dupilumab in the department of dermatology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from July 2020 to March 2022. Dupilumab 600 mg was injected subcutaneously at week 0, and then 300 mg was injected subcutaneously every 2 weeks. The condition was evaluated by SCORAD(severity scoring of atopic dermatitis), NRS(numerical rating scale), DLQI(dermatology life quality index) and POEM(patient-oriented eczema measure). The improvement of SCORAD, NRS, DLQI and POEM was analyzed by paired t test and non-parametric paired Wilcoxon. The results showed that a total of 67 patients with moderate to severe AD received dupilumab treatment, of which 41 patients (the course of treatment was more than 6 weeks) had reduced the severity of skin lesions, improved quality of life and reduced pruritus. A total of 23 patients completed 16 weeks of treatment. At 4, 8, 12 and 16 weeks, SCORAD, NRS, DLQI and POEM decreased compared with the baseline, and the differences were statistically significant. SCORAD (50.13±15.19) at baseline, SCORAD (36.08±11.96)(t=6.049,P<0.001) at week 4,SCORAD (28.04±11.10)(t=10.471,P<0.001) at week 8, SCORAD (22.93±9.72)(t=12.428,P<0.001) at week 12, SCORAD (16.84±7.82)(t=14.609,P<0.001) at week 16, NRS 7(6,8) at baseline, NRS 4(3,5)(Z=-3.861,P<0.001) at week 4, NRS 2(1,4)(Z=-4.088,P<0.001) at week 8, NRS 1(0,2)(Z=-4.206,P<0.001) at week 12, NRS 2(0,2)(Z=-4.222,P<0.001) at week 16, DLQI (13.83±5.71) at baseline, DLQI (8.00±4.02)(t=6.325,P<0.001) at week 4, DLQI (5.61±3.50)(t=8.060,P<0.001) at week 8, DLQI (3.96±1.99)(t=8.717,P<0.001) at week 12, DLQI (2.70±1.89)(t=10.355,P<0.001) at week 16, POEM (18.04±6.41) at baseline, POEM (9.70±4.70)(t=7.031,P<0.001) at week 4, POEM (7.74±3.48)(t=8.806,P<0.001) at week 8, POEM (6.35±3.33)(t=10.474,P<0.001) at week 12, POEM (4.26±2.51)(t=11.996,P<0.001) at week 16. In the 16th week, 100%(23 patients), 91.3%(21 patients), 34.8%(8 patients) and 8.7%(2 patients) of 23 patients reached SCORAD30, SCORAD50, SCORAD70, and SCORAD90 statuses, respectively. There were 82.6%(19 patients), 95.7%(22 patients) and 95.7%(22 patients) of 23 patients with NRS, DLQI and POEM improved by≥4 points compared with baseline. Twelve patients with AD who continued to receive dupilumab after 16 weeks showed further improvement in skin lesions. The adverse events were conjunctivitis and injection site reaction. In conclusion, dupilumab is an effective and safe treatment for moderate and severe AD. However, the longer-term efficacy and safety require further studies involving larger sample sizes and a longer follow-up time.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the clinical value of oligoclonal bands (OB) in patients with multiple myeloma (MM).
METHODS:
The laboratory test and clinical data of 624 newly diagnosed MM patients admitted to Blood Diseases Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January 2013 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, including 30 patients with OB, and the clinical characteristics, treatment effects and survival of OB and non-OB patients were analyzed and compared.
RESULTS:
OB occurred in 11.8% (22/187) of patients who received autologous stem cell transplantation(ASCT) and only 1.8% (8/437) of patients who did not receive ASCT (P=0.000). The median time to the appearance of oligoclonal bands was 3.2(0.6-10.5) months after transplantation. The M protein types of oligoclonal bands mainly include IgG κ, IgG λ, IgM λ and λ light chains. In the presence of oligoclonal bands, 90% of patients were evaluated as complete remission (CR) and above. There were no statistically significant differences in disease stage, tumor burden, and genetic abnormalities between OB and non-OB patients. Among the all patients, the prognosis of OB patients was significantly better than that of non-OB patients, and OB patients showed deeper disease remission (significantly higher CR rate, MRD negative rate, and longer MRD negative duration). Among patients who underwent ASCT, OB patients showed earlier immune recovery, but the depth of treatment response and survival outcomes were similar between OB and non-OB patients, it was no statistically difference. Although OB patients showed earlier immune reconstitution, this did not translate into better survival, suggesting that the better prognosis of OB patients was mainly related to deeper and durable remission rather than early immune reconstitution. Further analysis in patients who received ASCT and obtained MRD negative indicated that there was no additional survival benefit in patients with OB.
CONCLUSION
The better prognosis of OB patients may be related to the deeper treatment response, but not to the early immune reconstitution. The appearance of OB is only a sign of deep remission and early immune reconstitution in patients, it cannot be translated into survival benefit of MM patients.

The vagina contains at least a billion microbial cells,dominated by lactobacilli.Here we perform metagenomic shotgun sequencing on cervical and fecal samples from a cohort of 516 Chinese women of reproductive age,as well as cervical,fecal,and salivary samples from a second cohort of 632 women.Factors such as pregnancy history,delivery history,cesarean section,and breastfeeding were all more important than menstrual cycle in shaping the microbiome,and such information would be necessary before trying to interpret differences between vagino-cervical micro-biome data.Greater proportion of Bifidobacterium breve was seen with older age at sexual debut.The relative abundance of lactobacilli especially Lactobacillus crispatus was negatively associated with pregnancy history.Potential markers for lack of menstrual regularity,heavy flow,dysmenor-rhea,and contraceptives were also identified.Lactobacilli were rare during breastfeeding or post-menopause.Other features such as mood fluctuations and facial speckles could potentially be predicted from the vagino-cervical microbiome.Gut and salivary microbiomes,plasma vitamins,metals,amino acids,and hormones showed associations with the vagino-cervical microbiome.Our results offer an unprecedented glimpse into the microbiota of the female reproductive tract and call for international collaborations to better understand its long-term health impact other than in the settings of infection or pre-term birth.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the protective effect of electroacupuncture (EA) at "Zusanli" (ST 36) in pregnant rats on lung dysplasia of newborn rats with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) induced by maternal food restriction.
METHODS:
Twenty-four female SD rats were randomly divided into a control group, a control+EA group, a model group and a model+EA group, 6 rats in each group. From the 10th day into pregnancy to the time of delivery, the rats in the model group and the model+EA group were given with 50% dietary restriction to prepare IUGR model. From the 10th day into pregnancy to the time of delivery, the rats in the control+EA group and the model+EA group were treated with EA at bilateral "Zusanli" (ST 36), once a day. The body weight of offspring rats was measured at birth, and the body weight and lung weight of offspring rats were measured on the 21st day after birth. The lung function was measured by small animal lung function detection system; the lung tissue morphology was observed by HE staining; the content of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ (PPARγ) in lung tissue was detected by ELISA.
RESULTS:
Compared with the control group, the body weight at birth as well as the body weight, lung weight, lung dynamic compliance (Cdyn) and PPARγ at 21 days after birth in the model group were significantly decreased (
CONCLUSION
EA at "Zusanli" (ST 36) may protect the lung function and lung histomorphology changes by regulating the level of PPARγ of lung in IUGR rats induced by maternal food restriction.
