Tuberous sclerosis complex(TSC)is a rare genetic disease that can lead to benign dysplasia in multiple organs such as the skin, brain, eyes, oral cavity, heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, and bones. Its main symptoms include epilepsy, intellectual disabilities, skin depigmentation, and facial angiofibromas, whilst incidence is approximately 1 in 10 000 to 1 in 6000 newborns. This case presents a middle-aged woman who initially manifested with epilepsy and nodular depigmentation. Later, she developed a lower abdominal mass, elevated creatinine, and severe anemia. Based on clinical features and whole exome sequencing, the primary diagnosis was confirmed as TSC. Laboratory and imaging examinations revealed that the lower abdominal mass originated from the uterus. CT-guided biopsy pathology and surgical pathology suggested a combination of leiomyoma and abscess. With the involvement of multiple organs and various complications beyond the main diagnosis, the diagnostic and therapeutic process for this patient highlights the importance of rigorous clinical thinking and multidisciplinary collaboration in the diagnosis and treatment of rare and challenging diseases.

		                        			 Through a compound induction method, combined with neurobehavioral, macroscopic characterization and objective pathological evaluation indicators, a murine depression model of liver depression transforming into fire syndrome was constructed and confirmed. The model was constructed using a combination of sleep deprivation, light exposure, and alternate-day food deprivation. Evaluation was conducted at three levels: face validity, constructs validity, and predictive validity. The establishment of the liver depression transforming into fire syndrome depression model was further validated through the counterproof of traditional Chinese medicine formulas. In terms of face validity, compared to the control group, mice in the model group exhibited typical depressive symptoms in neurobehavioral assessments; the general observation of the model group mice reveals disheveled and lackluster fur, along with delayed and easily agitated responses. Additionally, there is a substantial increase in water consumption. In the sleep phase detection of mouse, the model group showed a significant increase in the proportion of time spent in the wake phase during sleep, accompanied by a significant decrease in the proportions of time spent in both non-rapid eye movement (NREM) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep phases. There are significant differences in physiological indicators such as average blood flow velocity, blood flow rate, tongue, urine, and claw color (r values) in the internal carotid artery. Structural validity demonstrated that levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), dopamine (DA), and

		                        			ObjectiveTo explore the medication characteristics and clinical efficacy of the Tenghuang Jiangu tablets in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) in the remission stage in the real world,providing references for rational clinical use of this prescription. MethodBased on the "registration system of KOA treated with Tenghuang Jiangu tablets",2 439 KOA cases in the remission stage were analyzed by SPSS 25.0,IBM SPSS Modeler18.0,and Apriori algorithm. To be specific,the age,body mass index (BMI),and course of treatment were described in the form of x̄±s. The information on gender,K-L grade,daily dose,and frequency of drug use was described by frequency analysis. The number of cases,course of treatment,daily dose,and drug use frequency of the single-use group and the combined-use group were described by frequency analysis,and the combination of drugs was described by frequency analysis and Apriori algorithm. Mann-Whitney U test was employed to compare the scores of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS),Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC),pain,stiffness,and joint function between the single-use group and the combined-use group. ResultThe results of clinical treatment showed that 2 439 patients with KOA in the remission stage were treated with Tenghuang Jiangu tablets,with 1 432 (58.71%) in the single-use group and 1 007 (41.29%) in the combined-use group. The average daily dose of Tenghuang Jiangu tablets was (3.90±1.44) g,and the majority of the patients were at grade Ⅱ (54.47%). The daily average daily dose of Tenghuang Jiangu tablets in the single-use group was (3.64±1.35) g,which was lower than that in the combined-use group [(4.26±1.48) g,P<0.05]. In the combined use,the top three western medicines were glucosamine (270 times,14.68%),sodium hyaluronate (126 times,6.85%),and imrecoxib (116 times,6.31%),and the top three Chinese medicines were Huoxuezhitong capsules/tablets/ointments (31 times,1.69%),Biqi capsules (25 times,1.36%),and Maizhiling (23 times,1.25%). As for the overall clinical efficacy,the VAS score was (5.13±0.93) score before treatment and (2.22±1.18) score after treatment (P<0.05),with an overall average decrease of (2.91±1.14) score, and the average decrease in the single-use group was (2.76±1.43) score, which was lower than that in the combined-use group [(3.12±1.36) score,(P<0.01)]. The WOMAC score was (31.05±11.84) score before treatment and (13.55±9.91) score after treatment (P<0.05). The overall average decrease was (17.50±11.79) score, and the average decrease in the single-use group and combined-use group was (16.39±11.14) score and (19.08±12.50) score,respectively (P<0.01). The patients with KOA>grade Ⅱ accounted for 91.34%(1 308/1 432) and 93.55%(942/1 007) in the single-use group and combined-use group,respectively (χ2=80.026,P<0.05). A total of 43.37%(621/1 432) of the patients in the single-use group had other complications,lower than that in the combined-use group [54.92%(553/1 432),(χ2=20.087,P<0.01)]. ConclusionMore than half of the patients with KOA in the remission stage are treated with Tenghuang Jiangu tablets alone,and the combination therapy is mainly applied in patients with severe conditions or other complications. In relieving knee joint pain and improving joint stiffness and joint function,both the Tenghuang Jiangu tablets alone and the combination therapy are effective.

		                        			 Molecular dynamics simulation technology relies on Newtonian mechanics to simulate the motion of molecular system of the real system by computer simulation. It has been used in the research of self-assembly processes illustration and macroscopic performance prediction of self-assembly nano-drug delivery systems (NDDS) in recent years, which contributes to the facilitation and accurate design of preparations. In this review, the definitions, catalogues, and the modules of molecular dynamics simulation techniques are introduced, and the current status of their applications are summarized in the acquisition and analysis of microscale information, such as particle size, morphology, the formation of microdomains, and molecule distribution of the self-assembly NDDS and the prediction of their macroscale performances, including stability, drug loading capacity, drug release kinetics and transmembrane properties. Moreover, the existing applications of the molecular dynamic simulation technology in the formulation prediction of self-assembled NDDS were also summarized. It is expected that the new strategies will promote the prediction of NDDS formulation and lay a theoretical foundation for an appropriate approach in NDDS studies and a reference for the wider application of molecular dynamics simulation technology in pharmaceutics.

		                        			ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical efficacy of Tenghuang Jiangu tablets (THJGT) combined with oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee and its applicable stage based on real-world data, and provide a basis for the rational clinical use of THJGT. MethodA total of 218 cases treated with THJGT combined with oral NSAIDs included in the "THJGT for knee osteoarthritis case registry" from September 2019 to January 2021 were selected as the observation group, and 126 cases treated with oral NSAIDs alone as the control group (CG). The data of gender, age, body mass index, Kellgren-Lawrence grading scale (K-L scale) score, visual analogue score (VAS score), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score, swelling grade, joint fear of cold score, back pain and weakness score, and occurrence of adverse events/reactions of the patients in both groups were used for the evaluation of efficacy with full analysis set. The propensity score matching method was used to exclude the influence of confounding factors between groups, and the sub-data sets were established, with which the repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) was carried out to evaluate the efficacy. Visit points were at registration, 4 weeks and 8 weeks after registration. The data were statistically analyzed in Excel 2019 and SPSS 23.0. ResultThe proportion of females in the observation group was 66.06% (144/218), which was higher than that (58.73%, 74/126) in the control group (χ2=1.846). The average age in the observation group was (61.12±7.01) years, which was higher than that [(59.38±5.99) years] in the control group (W=19 918.50, P<0.05). The remission rate in the observation group was 98.17% (214/218). In the observation group, the proportions of the patients at K-L grades Ⅱ and Ⅲ were 64.22% (144/218) and 25.23% (55/218), respectively. The effect analysis of the whole data set for enrollment and treatment for 8 weeks showed that the VAS score of the experimental group decreased by (3.27±1.24) points on average, which was better than that of the control group [(2.75±1.20), W=34 179.00, P<0.05]. The average WOMAC score decreased (23.43±11.46) points, which was better than that of the control group [(16.71±8.86), W=32 387.00, P<0.05]. The average swelling grade decreased (0.63±0.64), which was better than the control group [(0.33±0.59), W=33 847.50, P<0.05]. The average score of joint chills decreased (1.90±1.84), points, which was better than that of control group [(1.40±1.28), W=35 165.00, P<0.05]. The average lumbar acid fatigue score decreased by (2.02±1.64) points, which was better than that of the control group [(1.10±1.28), W=32 986.50, P<0.05]. Efficacy analysis of subdata sets for enrollment, 4 weeks of medication and 8 weeks of medication showed that VAS scores of both groups showed a downward trend after treatment, and the improvement of experimental group was more significant than that of control group at 4 weeks, with statistical significance (P<0.05). After treatment, the total WOMAC score of both groups showed a downward trend, and the improvement of experimental groups was more significant at 4 weeks and 8 weeks (P<0.05). After treatment, swelling, cold fear grade and lumbar acid fatigue score of both groups showed a decreasing trend,, and the improvement of experimental group was more significant at 8 weeks (P<0.05). The therapeutic effect analysis of patients in the attack stage and remission stage of the experimental group showed that the total WOMAC score of the two groups showed a downward trend after treatment, and the trend was basically the same, and there was no statistical difference between the two groups at enrollment, 4 weeks after treatment, and 8 weeks after treatment (t=1.675, t=2.068, t=2.364). The total WOMAC score of the patients in remission stage in the experimental group with K-L grading between grade 0 and grade Ⅲ had statistical significance at 4 weeks after treatment compared with the time of entry (P<0.05, P<0.01). Group of adverse event rate was 4.13% (9/218), lower than the control group 10.32% (13/126) (χ2= 5.109, P<0.05). ConclusionThe population receiving THJGT combined with oral NSAIDs is mostly female, old, in remission, and with K-L grades Ⅱ and Ⅲ. THJGT can enhance the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of oral NSAIDs and keep the drug effect in improving joint function and alleviating fear of cold, swelling, and back pain and weakness. The drug combination can be applied to patients in both attack and remission, and the clinical application should take patient's disease stage and degree of osteoarthritis into account. Furthermore, the combination has the potential to reduce the incidence of adverse events caused by NSAIDs.
