Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease （COPD） is a heterogeneous disease characterized by incompletely reversible airflow limitation that progresses over time. Its recurrent and incurable nature imposes a significant health burden on patients. The pathogenesis of COPD is complex and has not been fully elucidated. Currently， Western medicine is commonly used in clinical treatment， which often yield suboptimal results and may lead to adverse reactions and drug resistance. Therefore， finding an effective and safe treatment method is a crucial focus in medical research. With the ongoing advancement in disease research， many scholars have discovered that traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） can target various signaling pathways such as nuclear factor-kappa B （NF-κB）， phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B （PI3K/Akt）， mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK）， neurogenic locus notch homolog protein （Notch）， Janus kinase （JAK）/signal transducer and activator of transcription （STAT）， transforming growth factor-β （TGF-β）/Smad， secreted glycoprotein （Wnt）， Hippo， and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 （Nrf2）. By influencing these pathways， TCM can affect airway mucus secretion， inhibit inflammation and oxidative stress， alleviate airway and microvascular remodeling， and regulate apoptosis and autophagy， ultimately reducing disease symptoms and improving lung function. TCM has thousands of years of clinical practice experience in treating COPD， demonstrating significant efficacy. Therefore， delving deeply into this from a cellular and molecular perspective can provide a reliable theoretical basis for the clinical application of TCM in treating COPD. However， systematic summaries of how TCM regulates COPD-related signaling pathways are scarce. This article aimed to extensively review and summarize recent literature in China and abroad on interventions of TCM monomers or compound prescriptions in COPD， identifying multiple related pathways to provide new insights for future clinical formulation and experimental research. Integrating basic TCM theories with modern pharmacological research mechanisms can jointly propel the development of TCM in the prevention and treatment of COPD.

ObjectiveTo observe the therapeutic effect of BD-77 by nebulized inhalation on animal models of various respiratory viral infections and investigate the mechanism of broad-spectrum antiviral action of BD-77 using proteomics. MethodThe influenza virus H1N1/FM1 experiment used ICR mice and divided them into a normal group， model group， Tamiflu group， and BD-77 groups of 75 and 37.5 g·L-1 for inhalation of 20 min and 25 min. Human coronavirus 229E and OC43 experiment divided the BALB/c mice into a normal group， model group， chloroquine phosphate group， and BD-77 groups of 75， 37.5， 18.75， and 9.375 g·L-1， with 10 mice in each group. Influenza virus H1N1/FM1 and human coronaviruses 229E and OC43 infection-induced pneumonia models were used to detect mouse lung index， and real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to detect the viral load in lung tissue. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to detect related inflammatory factors in lung tissue， and proteomics analysis was performed on the lung tissue of OC43-infected mice. ResultCompared with that in the normal group， the lung index of mice in each infection group was significantly increased （P<0.01）， and viral nucleic acid could be detected in the lung tissue of mice infected with human coronaviruses 229E and OC43. The levels of interleukin-6 （IL-6）， IL-10， and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） in the lung tissue of mice infected with human coronavirus 229E were all significantly increased （P<0.01）. BD-77 could significantly reduce the lung index of mice infected with influenza virus H1N1/FM1 and human coronaviruses 229E and OC43 （P<0.05， P<0.01）， cut down the viral load in the lungs of mice infected with human coronaviruses 229E and OC43 （P<0.01）， and lower the contents of IL-6， IL-10， and TNF-α in the lung tissue of mice infected with human coronavirus 229E （P<0.01）. Proteomics analysis of the lung tissue of OC43-infected mice showed that BD-77 regulated the AMPK signaling pathway， TNF signaling pathway， NOD-like signaling pathway， IL-17 signaling pathway， Forkhead box protein O （FoxO） signaling pathway， transforming growth factor-β （TGF-β） signaling pathway， and other signaling pathways. ConclusionNebulized inhalation of BD-77 is effective in treating pneumonia caused by influenza virus H1N1/FM1 and human coronaviruses 229E and OC43 infection in mice and may exert its antiviral effects by regulating the balance of cellular metabolism， enhancing the immune function of the host， and attenuating inflammatory responses.

Objective:To study the clinical features and risk factors of pulmonary hemorrhage in extremely preterm (EPT) infants.Methods:From February 2018 to January 2022, EPT infants admitted to NICU of our hospital and diagnosed with pulmonary hemorrhage were retrospectively assigned into the observation group and those without pulmonary hemorrhage were assigned into the control group. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to compare the clinical features and determine risk factors of pulmonary hemorrhage in EPT infants.Results:A total of 114 EPT infants were included, including 28 cases (24.6%) in the observation group with pulmonary hemorrhage and 86 cases in the control group. Pulmonary hemorrhage mainly occurred within the first week after birth. Univariate analysis showed that the observation group had higher incidences of following events than the control group: birth asphyxia, delivery room intubation, severe respiratory distress syndrome, hyperglycemia, thrombocytopenia, severe acidosis, shock, score for neonatal acute physiology with perinatal extension-Ⅱ (SNAPPE-Ⅱ) ≥37 and the highest lactate level. Birth weight was lower in the observation group than the control group ( P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that SNAPPE-Ⅱ≥37, shock and hyperglycemia were risk factors of pulmonary hemorrhage ( OR=4.081, 4.610 and 3.355, respectively, all P<0.05). The incidences of mortality and intracranial hemorrhage in the observation group were higher than the control group. The duration of mechanical ventilation in the observation group was longer than the control group ( P<0.05). No significant differences existed in the duration of nasal continuous positive airway pressure, assist mechanical ventilation and total oxygen use, the incidences of grade Ⅱ-Ⅲ bronchopulmonary dysplasia, retinopathy of prematurity and the length of hospital stay ( P>0.05). Conclusions:SNAPPE-Ⅱ≥37, shock and hyperglycemia are early risk factors for pulmonary hemorrhage in EPT infants. EPT infants with pulmonary hemorrhage have higher incidences of mortality and intracranial hemorrhage, requiring longer periods of mechanical ventilation.

OBJECTIVE@#To evaluate the prospective association between cumulative resting heart rate (cumRHR) and rapid renal function decline (RRFD) in a cohort of individuals aged 60 and older.@*METHODS@#In the Tianjin Chronic Kidney Disease Cohort Study, the individuals who underwent three consecutive physical examinations between 2014 and 2017, with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) greater than 60 mL/min per 1.73 m2 and aged 60 years or older were enrolled. A total of 27,564 patients were prospectively followed up from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2020. The 3-year cumRHR was calculated. The primary outcome was RRFD, defined as an annualized decline in eGFR of 5 mL/min per 1.73 m2 or greater. Logistic and restricted spline regression models and subgroup analysis were used to investigate the association of cumRHR with RRFD after adjusting for all confounders.@*RESULTS@#During a median follow-up of 3.2 years, a total of 4,347 (15.77%) subjects developed RRFD. In fully-adjusted models, compared with the lowest quartile of cumRHR, the odds ratio (OR) for the highest was 1.44 (1.28-1.61), P < 0.001. Furthermore, each 1-standard deviation (27.97 beats/min per year) increment in cumRHR was associated with a 17% (P < 0.001) increased risk of RRFD, with a linear positive correlation (P for non-linear = 0.803). Participants with a 3-year cumRHR ≥ 207 (beats/min) * year (equivalent to ≥ 69 beats/min per year in 3 years) were found to be at a higher risk of RRFD.@*CONCLUSIONS@#The cumRHR is significantly associated with a higher risk of RRFD among older adults. These results might provide an effective goal for managing and delaying the decline of renal function in the older adults.

This article uses the "behavioural and social drivers of vaccination" model released by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2022 to analyze influenza vaccine policy documents issued by the state and governments. This indicates that the current influenza vaccination policy in China has paid some attention to "publicity and mobilization", but it still pays insufficient attention to "vaccination convenience". It is recommended to continue to strengthen publicity and mobilization, explore ways to improve the convenience of vaccination, formulate corresponding plans to improve the convenience of vaccination, scientifically set vaccination rate targets, and encourage areas with conditions to carry out free vaccination projects for key populations.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke are the most well-known cardiovascular diseases, which share many common pathological basis. Yindan Xinnaotong soft capsule (YDXNT) is a commonly used Chinese patent medicine in the treatment of stroke and CHD. However, its action of mechanism of co-treatment for stroke and CHD is still unclear. The aim of this study was to explore the common mechanism of YDXNT in co-treatment of CHD and stroke using network pharmacology, experimental verification and molecular docking. An integrated literature mining and databases of IPA, ETCM, HERB, Swiss Target Prediction, OMIM and GeneCards were used to screen and predict active ingredients and potential targets of YDXNT in co-treatment of CHD and stroke. The protein-protein interaction network, GO analysis and pathway analysis were analyzed by IPA software. The effect of YDXNT on core targets was verified by immunofluorescence. UPLC-QTOF/MS and molecular docking were used to screen and predict the main active constituents of YDXNT and their interactions with core targets. A total of 151 potential targets are predicted for YDXNT in co-treatment of CHD and stroke. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF1α)-matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9)-mediated HIF1α signaling pathway serves as one of the common mechanisms. YDXNT could reduce the increase of mitochondrial fluorescence intensity and the protein expression of HIF1α and MMP9 in HL-1 and HA induced by oxygen and glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R) in a dose-dependent manner. Baicalin may be the material basis for treating stroke and CHD with YDXNT. In conclusion, the HIF1α signaling pathway is one of the common key mechanisms of YDXNT in the co-treatment of stroke and CHD. The study provides support and basis for the in-depth scientific connotation of the traditional Chinese medicine theory of "same treatment to different diseases".

The fenrou zhijian is defined as potential gap between different layers in the three-dimensional network structure formed by the twelve meridian tendons. Various pathological changes of the meridian tendons lead to the adhesion and closure of fenrou zhijian, causing abnormal mechanical conduction of the meridian tendon system, which in turn leads to painful bi syndrome of meridian tendons. As such, restarting the fenrou zhijian is the key to acupuncture treatment for painful bi syndrome of meridian tendons. Under the guidance of musculoskeletal ultrasound, the level and the angle of needle insertion of acupuncture at fenrou zhijian could be accurately controlled, the efficacy of acupuncture is improved.

This study retrieved Croci Stigma related literature from CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, and Web of Science database, and used bibliometrics and CiteSpace 6.1.R2 software to analyze the published Croci Stigma related articles in Chinese and English from 2000 to 2022. The authors, research institutions, and keywords were visualized and analyzed, and the current status and development trend of Croci Stigma research was summarized by combining the information extraction methods. A total of 1 846 Chinese articles and 2 703 English articles were screened out and included. The results showed a generally steady increase in the number of Croci Stigma related articles. The results of the visualization analysis showed that there were more collaborations between researcher teams and major research institutions in English articles than Chinese articles. The Chinese articles was mainly published by China Pharmaceutical University, and most of the inter-institutional collaborations occurred in neighboring regions. The English articles was mainly published by Iranian institutions, and most of the cooperation occurred within the country, with less transnational cooperation. Keywords analysis showed that the research on Croci Stigma was mainly focused on chemical compositions, pharmacological effects, mechanisms, quality control, etc. It was predicted that the future research hotspots of Croci Stigma would mainly focus on pharmacological mechanism and clinical efficacy. The current research related to Croci Stigma still needs to be developed, cooperation should be strengthened, and more in-depth research should be conducted.
