China is currently in an accelerated stage of population aging, and brain diseases pose a significant threat to the health of the elderly. " Preventing brain aging and maintaining brain health" has become a high-level goal of healthy aging. During the process of aging, the physiological and psychological states of elderly people change, making them prone to nervousness and exhaustion, which can disturb the brain spirit, damage the brain collaterals, and severely endanger brain health. Starting from the holistic view of cultivating both body and spirit in traditional Chinese medicine, based on the physical and mental characteristics of the elderly, this paper applies the concept and method of " relaxation and tranquility" in the protection of elderly brain health, focusing on maintaining relaxation and tranquility in both physical and mental aspects. Specific measures include emphasizing subjective consciousness, relaxing the heart and calming down; utilizing the daoyin method, relaxing the body and calming down, combining relaxation and tranquility, cultivating both body and spirit to prevent diseases and protect the brain, which enables the elderly to have a healthy mind and body, a sense of happiness and fulfillment, and to age gracefully. Simultaneously, advocating for tranquility is also called " respect" for relaxation, following nature to understand constant changes, and improving one′s ability to think positively in old age, in order to expand ideas for the protection of elderly brain health.

The evolving health demands of contemporary society urgently call for adaptive adjustments in health policies and a comprehensive enhancement of perspectives, horizons, and viewpoints. Grounded in the solid foundation of traditional Chinese culture, this paper proposed a multidimensional evaluation system for assessing the health status of modern China's ideal life. Drawing upon the philosophical insights of Confucianism, Daoism, Mohism, Song-Ming Neo-Confucianism, and their subsequent developments, as well as core cultural values such as harmony (和), happiness (福), and joy (乐), this system established a fundamental framework for evaluating health in modern ideal life. The framework consists of eight indices, i.e. harmony index, diligence index, peace of mind index, happiness index, compassion index, innovation index, fulfillment index, and adaptability index. The purpose of constructing this system is to comprehensively and deeply reflect the physical and mental characteristics and behavioral patterns of the Chinese population, and to provide a holistic evaluation framework for advancing the foundation of health in modern ideal life, offering solid scientific support for formulating health policies that align with China's national context.

Objective:To investigate the impact of overweight/obesity on postoperative complications in breast reduction surgery.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on patients who underwent breast reduction surgery in our hospital from 2016 to 2022. Basic patient information and postoperative complications, such as poor wound healing, infection, hematoma, nipple necrosis, etc., were collected. Patients were categorized into normal/low weight group and overweight/obese group according to their body mass index (BMI). The differences in postoperative complications between the two groups were compared and statistically analyzed.Results:The study included 82 patients, 48 in the normal/low weight group and 34 in the overweight/obese group. The gender, age, and surgical methods of the two groups of patients were relatively balanced, and there was no statistical difference. However, the incidence of postoperative complications was 50.0% (17/34) in overweight/obeseitg group, higher than 18.8% (9/48) in normal/low weight group. Common complications included delayed healing such as infection or dehiscence in 8 cases (9.8%), skin necrosis in 5 cases (6.1%), and hypertrophic scars in 5 cases (6.1%). The incidence of skin necrosis and delayed healing in the overweight/obese group was higher than that in the normal/low weight group, but the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Postoperative hematoma and hypertrophic scars occurred in both groups, while fat liquefaction and thrombosis only occurred in the overweight/obese group. Conclusions:Overweight/obesity is an important risk factor for postoperative complications in breast reduction surgery. Patients should be evaluated before surgery, and necessary measures should be taken to reduce the risk of complications.

Tinosporae Radix, as a traditional Chinese medicinal herb, is the dried root tuber of Tinospora sagittata or T. capillipes. It was first recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica Supplement in the Qing Dynasty and included in the previous edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. Tinosporae Radix is excavated in autumn and winter and used after removing fibrous roots, washing, and drying. It is indicated for sore throat, carbuncle boils poison, waist and abdominal pain, and various heat syndromes and is commonly used to treat chronic inflammation. Its efficacy is significantly known as “broad-spectrum antibiotics in Zhuang medicine”. Tinosporae Radix is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb often taken by Zhuang and Yao nationalities in Guangxi province and has a wide range of application and development values and research significance. Modern studies have shown that Tinosporae Radix contains diterpenoids, alkaloids, sterols, anthraquinones, glycosides, fatty acids, volatile oils, and other compounds, which have many pharmacological activities such as anti-inflammatory and analgesic, antibacterial and antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-diabetic, and anti-tumor and anti-cancer effects, and it has achieved good efficacy in inhibiting inflammation and treating sore throat and other diseases. In recent years, there have been many research reports on the status, chemical constituents, pharmacological action, clinical application, and quality evaluation of Tinosporae Radix resources, but there is no systematic review and introduction at present. By consulting the literature and combining it with modern research, this paper systematically summarizes and collates Tinosporae Radix resources to provide guidance for the comprehensive development and utilization of Tinosporae Radix resources and subsequent in-depth study.

OBJECTIVE: To establish the fingerprint of Maizao yishen granules, and to provide scientific basis for its further development. METHODS: HPLC method was adopted to establish the fingerprint by using 10 batches of Maizao yishen granules sa samples. The determination was performed on Venusil XBP C18(L) column with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0.2% phosphoric acid (gradient elution) at the flow rate of 1→0.7 mL/min at 7-10 min, 0.7→1 mL/min at 10-15 min and 1 mL/min at the rest of time. The detection wavelengths were set at 284 nm (0-7 min), 330 nm (7-32 min) and 360 nm (32-45 min). The column temperature was 25 ℃, and sample size was 10 μL. The fingerprint of Maizao yishen granules was established, and the similarity evaluation was performed by using “Similarity Evaluation System of TCM Chromatographic Fingerprints” (2004 A edition) software. Then, the common peaks were assigned and identified by comparing reference substance and control medicinal materials. RESULTS: The precision, stability (24 h) and repeatability of the methodological investigation were all good [RSD values of relative retention time and relative peak area of each chromatographic peak were less than 3% (n=6)]. The similarity of 10 batches of samples were all above 0.900. Seventeen common peaks were identified, of which common peak 1 and 6 came from Semen Raphani; common peak 7, 9, 14, 15 and 16 from Citrus reticulata; common peak 5, 10, 11, 12 and 13 came from Glycyrrhiza uralensis; common peak 2 came from C. reticulata, G. uralensis and Ziziphus jujuba; peak 3 came from G. uralensis and Semen Raphani; peak 8 came from Hordeum vulgare and Semen Raphani; peak 4 and 17 came from C. reticulata and G. uralensis. Peak 1 was identified as hesperidin and the peak 9 was identified as sinapine. CONCLUSIONS: Established fingerprint of Maizao yishen granules is accurate and reliable, and can be used for quality control of Maizao yishen granules.

Objective:
To investigate the clinical significance of monitoring ETV6-RUNX1 fusion gene in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) .
Methods:
Clinical data of 13 children received allo-HSCT in Peking University Institute of Hematology from May 2009 to March 2016 were retrospectively collected. The ETV6-RUNX1 gene was examined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RQ-PCR) . The correlation between its expression level and the disease status was analyzed.
Results:
Of 13 enrolled ALL cases, the ETV6-RUNX1 expression of 7 patients converted to positive after transplant at a median time of 137 days (range, 28-270 days) . The expression level of the first positive sample was 0.034% (range, 0.004%-0.061%) . The duration from ETV6-RUNX1 positive to hematological relapse was 196 days (range, 28-666 days) . Four patients experienced relapse at a median time of 294 days (range, 104-803 days) after allo-HSCT. The ETV6-RUNX1 expression converted to positive prior to MRD. Patients with positive ETV6-RUNX1 gene expression pre-transplantation would be more likely to relapse.
Conclusion
Monitoring ETV6-RUNX1 by RQ-PCR could be used to evaluate MRD status after allo-HSCT. Patients with positive ETV6-RUNX1 after transplant had a poor prognosis.
