Systemic lupus erythematosus （SLE）， a refractory autoimmune disease， is among the dominant diseases where traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） shows advantages in the field of rheumatology and immunology. The China-Japan Friendship Hospital hosted the "46^th Youth Salon on Dominant Diseases （Systemic Lupus Erythematosus）" organized by the China Association of Chinese Medicine， which led to a consensus on "the advantages， challenges， interdisciplinary approaches， and translational achievements of integrated TCM and Western medical approaches in the diagnosis and treatment of SLE." The diagnosis and treatment of SLE currently face several challenges， such as frequent misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis in the early stages， difficulty in achieving treatment targets， multiple side effects from pharmacotherapy， and the lack of management strategies for special populations， all of which hinder the fulfillment of the clinical needs of patients. Integrated TCM and Western medical approaches can improve clinical symptoms such as skin erythema， aversion to cold and cold limbs， fatigue， dry mouth， restlessness， and heat sensation in the palms and soles， thereby improving patients' quality of life. The approaches also help consolidate the efficacy of conventional Western medicine， slow disease progression， reduce relapse rates， address multi-organ involvement， and prevent or treat complications. Additionally， they enhance efficacy and reduce toxicity， prevent the side effects of Western medications， help reduce hormone use， and offer distinct advantages in the individualized intervention of special populations， contributing to the whole-process management of the disease. However， evidence-based medical support for this integrated approach remains limited， and the quality of available evidence is generally low. Common evaluation systems and modern research methodologies should be adopted to clarify the efficacy of TCM in SLE treatment. Efforts should be made to carry out high-quality evidence-based medical research， strengthen the development of fundamental and pharmacological research， and further explain the distinct advantages of TCM in the diagnosis and treatment of SLE. Future efforts should focus on advancing the integration of TCM and modern medicine， incorporating multi-omics technologies， individualized stratification， and other precision medicine concepts， in combination with artificial intelligence. Moreover， interdisciplinary collaboration should be promoted to utilize modern technology in exploring the essence of TCM theories and screening effective formulae， thereby comprehensively improving the diagnosis and treatment of SLE through integrated TCM and Western medical approaches.

BACKGROUND:Stage Ⅲ Kümmell's disease is characterized by a high degree of vertebral compression and posterior wall defects.Most of the patients are elderly people with severe osteoporosis and various medical diseases.Clinically,some surgical methods are often at high risk and are controversial. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical efficacy of screw placement combined with transpedicular impaction bone grafting in the treatment of stage Ⅲ Kümmell's disease. METHODS:The clinical data of injured vertebral screw placement combined with transpedicular impaction bone grafting in treatment of stage Ⅲ Kummell's disease from May 2016 to August 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.Visual analog scale score,Oswestry disability index,anterior vertebral heights,kyphotic Cobb angle and American Spinal Injury Association(ASIA)impairment scale were used to evaluate the effects of surgery.The operation time,intraoperative blood loss and complications were recorded.CT scans were used to evaluate the healing of injured vertebrae at the final follow-up visit. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)A total of 26 patients were included,with 7 males and 19 females,at the age range of 62-81 years[mean(69.7±4.8)years].The follow-up time was 18-60 months[mean(35.1±8.9)months].The average operative duration was 133.5 minutes(100-165 minutes),and the average intraoperative blood loss was 285.3 mL(210-350 mL).(2)Visual analog scale and Oswestry disability index scores 1 week after surgery were significantly lower than those before surgery.(3)At 1 week after surgery,the anterior vertebral height corrections and the Cobb angle were(9.0±0.7)mm and(16.2±1.0)°,respectively.During the follow-up period,the loss of vertebral height and kyphosis correction were(5.1±0.3)mm and(8.0±0.4)°,respectively.(4)14 patients(54%)had ASIA grade D before operation,which recovered to grade E at the last follow-up.CT scan showed that all patients achieved good osseous union.(5)Complications occurred in seven patients(27%),including hypostatic pneumonia in two cases,postoperative superficial wound tissue liquefaction in two cases,and adjacent vertebral compression fractures in three cases.(6)It is concluded that screw placement of the injured vertebra combined with transpedicular impaction bone grafting can rapidly rebuild spinal stability,effectively relieve pain and improve neurological function in the treatment of stage Ⅲ Kümmell's disease.This technique is an effective and relatively minimally invasive surgical option.

Since the first operational definition of cognitive frailty was proposed by the expert consensus group of the International Academy of Nutrition and Aging and the International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics in 2013, frailty and neurocognitive assessment has become the standard diagnostic tool.Since then, the reported prevalence in the literature for cognitive frailty in community-dwelling elderly people vary by dozens of times, as a result of different scales and diagnostic cut-off points, seriously affecting health decision-making.This article reviewed the current literature with a focus on the re-recognition of the clinical significance of cognitive frailty, the limitations of existing assessment tools for diagnosis, and possible solutions in the future.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of gastrogin on AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/transient receptor potential anchor protein 1 (TRPA1) signaling pathway in rats with neuropathic pain.Methods:Thirty-six SPF-grade healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 6-8 weeks, weighing 200-230 g, were divided into 3 groups ( n=12 each) using a random number table method: sham operation+ normal saline group (SHAM group), neuropathic pain+ normal saline group (NP group), and neuropathic pain+ gastrogin group (GAS group). Neuropathic pain was induced by chronic constrictive injury to sciatic nerve under 2% isoflurane anaesthesia. The sciatic nerve was only exposed but not ligated in SHAM group. Gastrogin 100 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected for 14 consecutive days after developing the model in GAS group, while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead in SHAM and NP groups. The mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal paw withdrawal latency (TWL) were measured at 1 day before developing the model (T 0) and 1, 3, 5, 7, 10 and 14 days after developing the model (T 1-6). The rats were anesthetized and sacrificed following the measurement of pain thresholds at T 4 and T 6. The lumbar segment (L 4-6) of the spinal cord was removed for determination of TRPA1 mRNA expression (by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction), expression of TRPA1, AMPK and p-AMPK (by Western blot), expression of TRPA1 (by immunofluorescence staining) and expression of tumor necrosis-alpha(TNF-α), interleukin-1beta(IL-1β) and c-fos (by immunohistochemistry). Results:Compared with SHAM group, MWT and TWL were significantly decreased at T 1-6, the expression of TRPA1 mRNA, TRPA1, TNF-α, IL-1β and c-fos was up-regulated, the expression of p-AMPK was down-regulated ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in AMPK expression in NP group ( P>0.05). Compared with NP group, MWT at T 3-6 and TWL at T 2-6 were significantly increased, the expression of TRPA1 mRNA, TRPA1, TNF-α, IL-1β and c-fos was down-regulated, and p-AMPK expression was up-regulated ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in AMPK expression in GAS group ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The mechanism by which gastrogin reduces neuropathic pain may be related to modulating the expression of the AMPK/TRPA1 signaling pathway in rats.
