Traditional Chinese medicine, including herbal medicine and acupuncture, as one of the most important parts in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), plays the key role in the formation of integrative medicine. Why do not the modern drugs targeting the specificity of diseases produce theoretical effects in clinical observation? Why does not the traditional Chinese medicine targeting the Zheng (syndrome) produce theoretical effects in clinic? There should have some reasons to combine Western medicine with Chinese herbal medicine so as to form the integrative medicine. During the integration, how to clarify the impact of CAM theory on Western medicine has become an emergent topic. This paper focuses on the exploration of the impact of theory of traditional Chinese medicine on the therapy of diseases in Western medicine.

Factors influencing the type of self-acceptance in drug addicts and the relationship with subthreshold depression: evidence based on latent profile analysis.
BMC Psychol

Compulsory Isolation and Rehabilitation Center in Sichuan Province, Chengdu No. 2, Chengdu, China.
Objective: To study the heterogeneity and influencing factors of self-acceptance of drug addicts in compulsory isolation in 2 drug rehabilitation centers in Sichuan Province, and to analyze the effects of different types of self-acceptance on subthreshold depression in drug addicts, in order to provide useful references for improving their mental health.
Methods: Self-acceptance Questionnaire (SAQ), Drug use Stereotype Threat Scale(DSTS) and Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale(CES-D) were used to conduct a questionnaire survey in January 2024 on 1068 drug addicts in two compulsory isolation drug rehabilitation centers in Sichuan Province.
Results: Drug addicts self-acceptance can be categorized into 5 potential categories; men were more likely than women to show lower self-acceptance in the 'low-low'(β = 0.
Based on CT scans at the 12th thoracic spine level, assessing the impact of skeletal muscle and adipose tissue index on one-year postoperative mortality in elderly hip fracture patients: a propensity score-matched multicenter retrospective study.

Background: Research has demonstrated that individuals with sarcopenia or sarcopenic obesity who experience fractures or undergo major surgical interventions exhibit a poorer prognosis compared to the general population. However, few studies have investigated the relationship between the skeletal muscle and adipose tissue indices, as measured at the 12th thoracic spine level, and adverse outcomes following orthopedic surgery. Therefore, this study aimed to prove whether skeletal muscle and adipose tissue index measured by computed tomography (CT) images based on a single layer are associated with one-year postoperative mortality in elderly hip fracture patients.

Comprehending the interplay between the microbial communities of bulk soil (BS) and rhizosphere soil (RS) holds crucial significance in maintaining soil health and fertility, as well as enhancing crop quality. Our research focused on examining these microbial communities in BS and RS of Acanthopanax senticosus, along with their correlation with soil nutrients, across three distinct habitats in Yichun, Heilongjiang Province. To achieve this, we employed high-throughput sequencing technology, specifically targeting the 16S and amplicon regions.
