Medical institutions, with their clinical practice foundation and abundant human use experience data, have become important carriers for the inheritance and innovation of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) and the "cradles" of the preparation of new TCM. To effectively promote the transformation of new TCM originating from the TCM clinical practice in medical institutions and establish an effective evaluation index system for the transformation of new TCM conforming to the characteristics of TCM, consensus experts adopted the literature research, questionnaire survey, Delphi method, etc. By focusing on the policy and technical evaluation of new TCM originating from the TCM clinical practice in medical institutions, a comprehensive evaluation from the dimensions of drug safety, efficacy, feasibility, and characteristic advantages was conducted, thus forming a comprehensive evaluation system with four primary indicators and 37 secondary indicators. The expert consensus reached aims to encourage medical institutions at all levels to continuously improve the high-quality research and development and transformation of new TCM originating from the TCM clinical practice in medical institutions and targeted at clinical needs, so as to provide a decision-making basis for the preparation, selection, cultivation, and transformation of new TCM for medical institutions, improve the development efficiency of new TCM, and precisely respond to the public medication needs.

HDAC7, a member of class IIa HDACs, plays a pivotal regulatory role in tumor, immune, fibrosis, and angiogenesis, rendering it a potential therapeutic target. Nevertheless, due to the high similarity in the enzyme active sites of class IIa HDACs, inhibitors encounter challenges in discerning differences among them. Furthermore, the substitution of key residue in the active pocket of class IIa HDACs renders them pseudo-enzymes, leading to a limited impact of enzymatic inhibitors on their function. In this study, proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) technology was employed to develop HDAC7 drugs. We developed an exceedingly selective HDAC7 PROTAC degrader B14 which showcased superior inhibitory effects on cell proliferation compared to TMP269 in various diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. Subsequent investigations unveiled that B14 disrupts BCL6 forming a transcriptional inhibition complex by degrading HDAC7, thereby exerting proliferative inhibition in DLBCL. Our study broadened the understanding of the non-enzymatic functions of HDAC7 and underscored the importance of HDAC7 in the treatment of hematologic malignancies, particularly in DLBCL and AML.

Objective Viral encephalitis is an infectious disease severely affecting human health.It is caused by a wide variety of viral pathogens,including herpes viruses,flaviviruses,enteroviruses,and other viruses.The laboratory diagnosis of viral encephalitis is a worldwide challenge.Recently,high-throughput sequencing technology has provided new tools for diagnosing central nervous system infections.Thus,In this study,we established a multipathogen detection platform for viral encephalitis based on amplicon sequencing. Methods We designed nine pairs of specific polymerase chain reaction(PCR)primers for the 12 viruses by reviewing the relevant literature.The detection ability of the primers was verified by software simulation and the detection of known positive samples.Amplicon sequencing was used to validate the samples,and consistency was compared with Sanger sequencing. Results The results showed that the target sequences of various pathogens were obtained at a coverage depth level greater than 20×,and the sequence lengths were consistent with the sizes of the predicted amplicons.The sequences were verified using the National Center for Biotechnology Information BLAST,and all results were consistent with the results of Sanger sequencing. Conclusion Amplicon-based high-throughput sequencing technology is feasible as a supplementary method for the pathogenic detection of viral encephalitis.It is also a useful tool for the high-volume screening of clinical samples.

Objective To investigate the incidence rate,clinical characteristics,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen,China.Methods Led by Shenzhen Children's Hospital,the Shenzhen Neonatal Data Collaboration Network organized 21 institutions to collect 36 cases of neonatal stroke from January 2020 to December 2022.The incidence,clinical characteristics,treatment,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen were analyzed.Results The incidence rate of neonatal stroke in 21 hospitals from 2020 to 2022 was 1/15 137,1/6 060,and 1/7 704,respectively.Ischemic stroke accounted for 75％(27/36);boys accounted for 64％(23/36).Among the 36 neonates,31(86％)had disease onset within 3 days after birth,and 19(53％)had convulsion as the initial presentation.Cerebral MRI showed that 22 neonates(61％)had left cerebral infarction and 13(36％)had basal ganglia infarction.Magnetic resonance angiography was performed for 12 neonates,among whom 9(75％)had involvement of the middle cerebral artery.Electroencephalography was performed for 29 neonates,with sharp waves in 21 neonates(72％)and seizures in 10 neonates(34％).Symptomatic/supportive treatment varied across different hospitals.Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment was performed for 12 neonates(33％,12/36),with a mean score of(32±4)points.The prognosis of 27 neonates was followed up to around 12 months of age,with 44％(12/27)of the neonates having a good prognosis.Conclusions Ischemic stroke is the main type of neonatal stroke,often with convulsions as the initial presentation,involvement of the middle cerebral artery,sharp waves on electroencephalography,and a relatively low neurodevelopment score.Symptomatic/supportive treatment is the main treatment method,and some neonates tend to have a poor prognosis.

Objective To compare the effects of transumbilical single-incision appendectomy and laparoscopic appendectomy in the treatment of acute appendicitis in pediatric patients.Methods The clinical data of 162 pediatric patients under 14 years old with acute appendicitis admitted to our department were retrospectively analyzed,and the pediatric patients were divided into the transumbilical single-incision surgery group(n=59)and the laparoscopic group(n=103)according to their surgeries.The completion of the operation was recorded,and the operation time,intraoperative blood loss,gastrointestinal function recovery time,hospitalization cost,hospital stay and complications were compared between the two groups.The postoperative wound healing was observed.The wound infection,abdominal pain,abdominal distension,vomiting and abnormal stool were observed during the 6-month follow-up after operation.Results The operations of pediatric patients in the laparoscopic group were successfully completed without conversion to open surgery.The appendixes of 2 cases in the transumbilical single-incision surgery group were found by transumbilical laparoscopy during the operation due to the difficulty in finding the appendixes.The operation time and hospital stay in the transumbilical single-incision surgery group were shorter than those in the laparoscopic group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the hospitalization cost,intraoperative blood loss,gastrointestinal function recovery time,or incidence of complications between the two groups(P>0.05).The incision healing in the transumbilical single-incision surgery group was more beautiful.During the follow-up period,the incision of the pediatric patients in the two groups healed well,and there was no abdominal pain,abdominal distension,vomiting or abnormal stool.Conclusion Compared with the traditional laparoscopic appendectomy,transumbilical single-incision appendectomy has the advantages of simple operation,short operation time and hospital stay,and more beautiful incision healing.

Recent studies have shown that stress can substantially facilitate breast cancer metastasis,which can be reduced by nonselective β1/β2-adrenergic receptor(β1/β2-AR)blocker.However,several side effects were identified.Thus,it is extremely warranted to explore more effective and better-tolerated β2-AR blocker.Currently,we demonstrated that baicalin(BA),a major bioactive component of Scutellaria bai-calensis Georgi,could significantly attenuate stress hormones especially epinephrine(Epi)-induced breast cancer cell migration and invasion in vitro.Mechanistically,we identified that β2-AR was a direct target of BA via the drug affinity responsive target stability(DARTS)combined with mass spectrum assay,and BA photoaffinity probe with pull-down assay,which was further confirmed by a couple of bio-physical and biochemical assays.Furthermore,we demonstrated that BA could directly bind to the Phe-193 and Phe-289 of β2-AR,subsequently inhibit cyclic adenosine monophosphate-protein kinase A-focal adhesion kinase(cAMP-PKA-FAK)pathway,and thus impede epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT),thereby hindering the metastatic progression of the chronic stress coupled with syngeneic and xenograft in vivo orthotopic and tail vein mouse model.These findings firstly identify BA as a potential β2-AR inhibitor in the treatment of stress-induced breast cancer metastasis.

Objective:This study aims to analyze the spatial-temporal patterns,evolutionary trends,and regional balance of human resources in village clinics in China,providing a practical basis and decision-making reference for the construction of rural healthcare systems.Methods:By employing a variety of spatial-temporal statistical analysis methods,this study examines the spatial-temporal development and dynamic distribution trends of human resource allocation in village clinics.It explores the characteristics of resource allocation balance,and deconstructs the sources of regional,interregional,and intraregional disparities in human resource structures.Results:The total scale of human resources in village clinics decreased,but the number of personnel per thousand population and the proportion of health technicians increased.The human resources of village clinics in different provinces have gradually evolved to Twin Peaks,showing a convergence trend of spatial clubs.There is a significant difference in the allocation of human resources in village clinics,and the internal difference in the eastern region contributes the most,both within and between regions,the difference of health technical personnel has gradually become the main reason for the unbalanced allocation of village clinic space.Conclusion:The allocation of human resources in village clinics in China is facing the challenge of decreasing the total amount.The sustainability of the optimized allocation of personnel structure needs to be further enhanced,and the balance of the allocation of health technical personnel space has also been slightly improved,it is necessary to re-examine the total amount of human resources management in village clinics,promote the optimization of personnel structure and the complementarity of regional advantages,and reduce regional differences in the optimization of personnel structure.

Objective:To investigate the causal correlation between depression and stress urinary incontinence(SUI)using Mendelian randomization(MR)analysis.Methods:We searched the FinnGen Consortium database for genome-wide association studies(GWAS)on depression and obtained 23 424 case samples and 192 220 control samples,with the GWAS data on SUI provided by the UK Biobank,including 4 340 case samples and 458 670 control samples.We investigated the correlation between depression and SUI based on the depression data collected from the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium(PGC).We employed inverse-variance weighting as the main method for the MR study,and performed sensitivity analysis to verify the accuracy and stability of the findings.Results:Analysis of the data from the UK Biobank and FinnGen Consortium showed that depression was significantly correlated with an increased risk of SUI(P=0.005),but not SUI with the risk of depression(P=0.927).And analysis of the PGC data verified the correlation of depression with the increased risk of SUI(P=0.043).Conclusion:Depression is associated with an increased risk of SUI,while SUI does not increase the risk of depression.

The demographic characteristics, drug use, clinical symptoms and other data of the patients treated with Huoxiang Zhengqi Oral Liquid were collected. The latent class analysis(LCA) was performed to reveal the distribution of primary symptoms, and then the doubly robust estimation was employed to analyze the efficacy of different doses of Huoxiang Zhengqi Oral Liquid in different populations. A total of 11 273 patients were enrolled in this study, including 4 347 males and 6 926 females. A total of 15 primary symptoms were included, with the top 3 being dizziness(53.9%), head heaviness(39.6%), and nausea(39.4%). According to the LCA, the population was divided into 3 groups of spleen deficiency and dampness exuberance(5 604 cases, 49.71%), upward harassing of wind-phlegm(4 955 cases, 43.96%), and spleen Qi deficiency(714 cases, 6.33%). Double robust estimation showed that the time to recovery of the patients with spleen Qi deficiency had no significant difference regarding the daily dose. Compared with the daily dose of 20 mL, the daily doses of 40, and 60 mL shortened the time to recovery by 16.67(95%CI[5.23, 28.12]) and 15.94 h(95%C1[7.45, 24.43]) in the patients with upward harassingof wind-phlegm, the daily doses of 30, 40, and 60 mL shortened the time to recovery by 4.42(95%CI[1.06, 7.77]), 13.07(95%CI[1.61, 24.54]), 13.92 h(95%CI[5.14, 22.70]) in the patients with spleen deficiency and dampness exuberance, respectively. The patients with cold due to wind-cold and dampness stagnation had more primary syndromes, and the disease locations were mainly in the head, stomach, and spleen. In clinical practice, the daily dose of Huoxiang Zhengqi Oral Liquid can be increased according to the symptoms of patients, which can shorten the time to recovery.

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a condition caused by compression of the median nerve in carpal canal. In recent years, due to popularity of electronic devices such as computers, the incidence of CTS has shown a rapid rising trend. Its treatment methods include surgical treatment and conservative treatment. For mild to and moderate CTS, conservative treatment is preferred. Acupotomy, as an innovative and unique treatment method, could relieve pressure in carpal canal by releasing transverse ligament of wrist and promote local blood circulation to treat CTS, and has characteristics of less trauma, short course of treatment and low cost, which is more acceptable to patients. In addition, the combination of needle-knife and other therapies also has a good effect. However, traditional needle-knife therapy has certain limitations in operation, and its safety problems can be effectively solved with the help of ultrasound technology. Therefore, ultrasus-guided needle-knife therapy for CTS has become a current research hotspot, but its long-term therapeutic effect still needs to be further verified.
