Acute pancreatitis （AP） is one of the most clinically common acute digestive disorders characterized by quick onset，rapid progression，severe condition，and high mortality. If the disease is not timely intervened in the early stage，it can develop into severe AP in the later stage，which damages the long-term quality of life and brings serious economic burden to patients and their families. However， the pathogenesis of this disease is complex and has not been fully explained. The generation and development of AP is closely related to many signaling pathways. Among them，Toll-like receptor 4（TLR4），as a transmembrane signal transduction receptor，can mediate immune response and inflammatory response，and play a key role in the occurrence and development of AP. Traditional Chinese medicine（TCM）can regulate the TLR4 signaling pathway with multiple targets，multiple effects，and multiple administration methods to inhibit inflammatory response，and effectively intervene in the progression of AP， which has gradually become a new craze for preventing and treating AP. Many studies have shown that TCM has obvious advantages in the prevention and treatment of AP. It can effectively treat AP by regulating TLR4 signaling pathway，strengthening immune resistance and defense，and inhibiting inflammatory response. Despite of the research progress，there is still a lack of comprehensive review on TCM regulation of TLR4 signaling pathway in the treatment of AP. Therefore，the literature on TCM regulation of TLR4 signaling pathway published in recent years was systematically reviewed and elaborated，aiming to provide new ideas for the treatment of AP and further drug development.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease （GERD） is a gastrointestinal motility disorder characterized by the reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus， leading to symptoms such as acid reflux and heartburn. The incidence of GERD is closely associated with psychological disorders， including anxiety and depression. The brain-gut axis， serving as a mediator of the bidirectional connection between the brain and the gastrointestinal tract， plays a crucial role in the occurrence and development of GERD with anxiety and depression. Various therapeutic approaches， including compound Chinese medicine internal therapy （such as Pingchong jiangni decoction， Tiaozhong huashi decoction， etc.）， combination therapy of internal and external Chinese medicine （such as Lianzhi xiere decoction combined with acupoint application， acupuncture at the back segment of governor vessel plus Chinese medication of soothing the liver and gallbladder， etc.）， and combination therapy of internal Chinese and western medicine （including Jianpi shugan decoction combined with rabeprazole， rabeprazole combined with Jianzhong jiangni decoction， etc.）， have been shown to regulate brain-gut peptides， intestinal flora， inflammatory factors and gastrointestinal hormones， thereby effectively alleviating GERD symptoms， anxiety and depression， and enhancing patients’ quality of life.

Objective:To analyze the clinicopathological features and differential diagnosis of large B-cell lymphoma with IRF4 rearrangement, aiming enhance its recognition and prevent misdiagnosis.Methods:The clinicopathological features, immunophenotype, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) results of six cases diagnosed with IRF4 rearrangement-positive B-cell lymphoma at the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from 2015 to 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Additionally, a comprehensive review of the literature was conducted.Results:Six patients with IRF4 rearrangement-positive large B-cell lymphoma were included. Patients 1 to 5 included three males and two females with a median age of 19 years ranging from 11 to 34 years. Four patients presented with head and neck lesions, while the other one had a breast nodule; all were in clinical Ann Arbor stages I to Ⅱ. Morphologically, entirely diffuse pattern was present in two cases, purely follicular pattern in one case, and diffuse and follicular patterns in other two cases. The tumor cells, predominantly centroblasts mixed with some irregular centrocytes, were of medium to large size, with a starry sky appearance observed in two cases. Immunophenotyping revealed all cases were positive for bcl-6 and MUM1, with a Ki-67 index ranging from 70% to 90%, and CD10 was positive in two cases. IRF4 rearrangement was confirmed in all cases by FISH analysis, with dual IRF4/bcl-6 rearrangements identified in two cases, leading to a diagnosis of LBCL-IRF4. Case 6, a 39-year-old female with a tonsillar mass and classified as clinical Ann Arbor stage Ⅳ, displayed predominantly diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) morphology with 20% high-grade follicular lymphoma characteristics. Immunohistochemistry showed negative CD10 and positive bcl-6/MUM1, with a Ki-67 index of approximately 80%. Triple rearrangements of IRF4/bcl-2/bcl-6 were identified by FISH, leading to a diagnosis of DLBCL with 20% follicular lymphoma (FL). All six patients achieved complete remission after treatment, with no progression or relapse during a follow-up period of 31-100 months.Conclusions:Large B-cell lymphoma with IRF4 rearrangement is a rare entity with pathological features that overlap with those of FL and DLBCL. While IRF4 rearrangement is necessary for diagnosing LBCL-IRF4, it is not specific and requires differentiation from other aggressive B-cell lymphomas with IRF4 rearrangement.

Glucolipid Metabolic Disease(GLMD)is a group of diseases closely related to disorders of glucose and lipid metabolism,mainly including hyperlipidemia,non-alcoholic fatty liver,diabetes,atherosclerosis,etc.The incidence is increasing year by year and poses a serious threat to national health.Miao medicine is an important part of traditional medicine in China,with rich resources and great characteristics,and has advantages in the treatment of glucolipid metabolic disease,but there is no systematic literature combing about Miao medicine for this kind of disease.In this paper,we reviewed the literature related to the treatment of glucolipid metabolic diseases by Miao medicine in recent years through data search,based on the commonly used Miao medicines recorded in the Chinese Materia Medica,and summarized the research progress of its pharmacological effects,mechanism of action,and clinical application,in order to provide reference basis and research ideas for the in-depth research development and utilization of Miao medicine.

Objective:To compare and discuss the mid-to-long-term outcomes of mitral valve repair (MVP) versus biological mitral valve replacement (bMVR) in patients aged 60 years and above with rheumatic mitral valve disease.Methods:This is a retrospective cohort study. A total of 765 patients aged 60 years and older, diagnosed with rheumatic mitral valve disease and who underwent MVP or bMVR at Beijing Anzhen Hospital from January 2010 to January 2023, were retrospectively included. Among them, 186 were male and 579 were female, with an age of (66.1±4.5) years (range: 60 to 82 years). Patients were divided into two groups based on the surgical method: the mitral valve repair group (MVP group, n=256) and the bioprosthetic mitral valve replacement group (bMVR group, n=509). A 1∶1 propensity score matching was performed using a caliper value of 0.2 based on preoperative data. Paired sample t-tests, χ2 tests, or Fisher′s exact tests were used for intergroup comparisons. Kaplan-Meier method was employed to plot survival curves and valve-related reoperation rate curves for both groups before and after matching, and Log-rank tests were used to compare the mid-to long-term survival rates and valve-related reoperation rates between the two groups. Results:A total of 765 patients who completed follow-up were ultimately included, with a follow-up period ( M(IQR)) of 5.1(5.0) years (range: 1.0 to 12.9 years). After matching, each group consisted of 256 patients. The incidence of early postoperative atrial fibrillation (39.1% vs. 49.2%, χ2=4.95, P=0.026) and early mortality rates (2.0% vs. 6.2%, χ2=4.97, P=0.026) were lower in the MVP group. Unadjusted Kaplan-Meier analysis showed significantly higher 5-year and 10-year survival rates for the MVP group (92.54% vs. 83.02%, 86.22% vs. 70.19%, Log-rank: P=0.001). After adjustment with propensity scores, the Kaplan-Meier analysis still indicated higher 5-year and 10-year survival rates in the MVP group compared to the bMVR group (92.54% vs. 85.89%, 86.22% vs. 74.83%, Log-rank: P=0.024). There were no significant differences in the rates of valve-related reoperation between the two groups before and after matching (5-year and 10-year reoperation rates pre-matching: 1.75% vs. 0.57%, 5.39% vs. 7.54%, Log-rank: P=0.207; post-matching: 1.75% vs. 0, 5.39% vs. 9.27%, Log-rank: P=0.157). Conclusion:For patients aged 60 years and above with rheumatic mitral valve disease, mitral valve repair offers better mid-to-long-term survival compared to biological valve replacement.

Conclusion:For patients aged 60 years and above with rheumatic mitral valve disease, mitral valve repair offers better mid-to-long-term survival compared to biological valve replacement.

Objective:To develop a genotyping method for the Junior blood type and report on a rare blood type with Jr(a-).Methods:Healthy O-type RhD+ volunteer donors of the Shenzhen Blood Center from January to May 2021 ( n=1 568) and a pedigree with difficult cross-matching ( n=3) were selected as the study subjects. Serological methods were used for proband′s blood type identification, unexpected antibody identification, and antibody titer determination. Polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific primer (PCR-SSP) method was used for typing the proband′s RHD gene. ABCG2 gene coding region sequencing and a PCR-SSP genotyping method were established for determining the genotypes of the proband and his family members and screening of Jra antigen-negative rare blood type among the 1 568 blood donors. Results:The proband′s ABO and RhD blood types were respectively determined as B and partial D (RHDDVI.3/RHD01N.01), Junior blood type Jra antigen was negative, and plasma had contained anti-D and anti-Jra. Sequencing of the ABCG2 gene revealed that the proband′s genotype was ABGG201N.01/ABGG201N.01 [homozygous c. 376C>T (p.Gln126X) variants], which is the most common Jr(a-) blood type allele in the Asian population. Screening of the voluntary blood donors has detected no Jr(a-) rare blood type. Statistical analysis of the heterozygotes suggested that the allelic frequency for ABCG2*01N.01 (c.376T) was 0.45%, and the frequency of Jr(a-) rare blood type with this molecular background was about 0.2‰. Conclusion:A very rare case of partial DVI.3 type and Jr(a-) rare blood type has been identified. And a method for identifying the Junior blood type through sequencing the coding regions of the ABCG2 gene and PCR-SSP has been established.

Objective:To investigate the concern about pollen broadcasting in Chinese population from multiple dimensions and to understand the information about allergic rhinitis (AR) in China by analyzing related factors.Methods:From March 1 to September 30, 2022, a large-scale multi-center cross-sectional survey was conducted based on the Questionnaire Star platform in 21 Chinese hospitals. A total of 7 056 subjects from 7 regions in China: Northeast, North, East, Central, South, Southwest, and Northwest China were included. Basic characteristics (including social demographic characteristics and disease characteristics of AR patients), concern about pollen broadcasting, the willingness of pollen-induced AR (PiAR) patients to receive pollen broadcasting, and the treatment satisfaction rate of AR patients were collected. The chi-square test, multivariate linear regression model, and Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the concern about pollen broadcasting in the Chinese population and related factors from multiple dimensions.Results:Among 7 056 subjects, 23.02% were concerned about pollen broadcasting. Among 3 176 self-reported AR and 1 019 PiAR patients, 25.60% and 39.16% were concerned about pollen broadcasting, respectively, which was higher than that of non-AR or non-PiAR subjects ( χ2 value was 21.74 and 175.11, respectively, both P<0.001). Among AR patients, the proportion of spring and autumn allergen-positive patients concerned about pollen broadcasting was higher than that in perennial allergen-positive patients ( χ2 value was 20.90 and 19.51, respectively, both P<0.001). The proportion of AR patients with asthma, sinusitis, allergic conjunctivitis, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases was higher than those without complications ( χ2 value was 50.83, 21.97, 56.78, 7.62, respectively, all P<0.05). The proportion of AR patients in North China who could find pollen broadcasting locally was 31.01%, significantly higher than those in other regions (all P<0.05). Multivariate linear regression model analysis showed that among PiAR patients, those with higher per capita household income and higher AR disease cognition levels had been concerned about pollen broadcasting in the past, and those complicated with allergic conjunctivitis had stronger intention to receive pollen broadcasting (B value was 0.24, 0.13, 0.66, 0.47, respectively, all P<0.05). The higher the disease cognition level of PiAR patients, the stronger their willingness to actively participate in treatment ( R2=0.72, P<0.001). Only 18.89% of AR patients felt satisfied with the treatment effect. Logistic regression analysis showed that in AR patients, the treatment satisfaction rate was significantly higher among those concerned about pollen broadcasting compared to those who were not ( OR=1.83, P<0.001). Conclusions:Currently, the dissemination of pollen broadcasting in China is hindered by various factors such as disease cognition level. The treatment satisfaction among AR patients remains unsatisfactory.

Objective:To carry out a scoping review on characteristics and effects of intervention program for promoting motor behavior among older adults in the community based on transtheoretical model (TTM), so as to explore the mechanism and connotation of TTM guiding strategy selection in the intervention program.Methods:The literature on the intervention program for promoting motor behavior among older adults in the community based on TTM was systematically searched in PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Wanfang Data. The search period was from database establishment to October 11, 2023. Two researchers conducted a summary and data analysis of the included literature.Results:A total of 15 articles were included, and the intervention framework included two types according to behavior change stages and behavior change patterns. The intervention strategy mainly included 17 items, such as emphasizing the benefits of exercise and drawbacks of no-exercise, establishing family support relationships, sharing exemplary experiences, rewarding, setting reminders, and signing commitments. The intervention strategies mainly involved 14 forms such as health lectures, one-on-one communication, exercise commitment letters, exercise logs, group communication meetings, and material/honor. The outcome measures consisted of feasibility (safety, retention, attendance, satisfaction) and effectiveness (exercise compliance, behavioral stage changes, physical function, self-efficacy, decision balance and so on) .Conclusions:The stages of change in TTM can guide the design of intervention frameworks for promoting motor behavior among older adults in the community, and the change program can guide the intervention strategies and design of application forms. The characteristic of the TTM based intervention program for promoting motor behavior among older adults in the community is that it contains intervention strategies that are suitable for each stage of behavior, and has short-term effectiveness and feasibility in terms of results. It is necessary to further clarify the details of the intervention program to explore its long-term effectiveness, and conduct follow-up.

Objective:To conduct a scoping review on gamified exercise interventions for elderly patients with cognitive impairment to provide insights for the application of gamification design in exercise programs for this population.Methods:Guided by the scoping review framework proposed by Arksey and O'Malley, a systematic search was conducted in databases including China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, VIP, SinoMed, PubMed, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus, ProQuest, and Wiley Online Library. The search covered the period from the establishment of the databases to June 12, 2024. An integrative analysis was performed on the included literature.Results:A total of 12 studies were included. The most commonly used gamification elements were achievement- and progress-oriented features, while the most frequently applied behavior change theories were behavior change techniques and social cognitive theory.Conclusions:Gamification-based exercise interventions can improve adherence to exercise programs in elderly patients with cognitive impairment, promote physical activity, and enhance cognitive function. Future research should focus on combining various theories with different gamification elements to encourage proactive exercise behavior in elderly individuals with cognitive impairment.
