Psoriasis is an immune-abnormal, chronic, proliferative skin disease determined by polygenic inheritance and induced by a number of environmental factors. It causes worldwide concern because of its high-prevalence, harmful and incurable characteristics. Over the years, Chinese medicine (CM) treatment of psoriasis has accumulated a wealth of clinical experience. Disease-syndrome combination, which achieves more satisfactory clinical effect, is the basis to highlight the special CM advantages in treating psoriasis. In this paper, we review the advantages of treating psoriasis with the combination of disease and syndrome, analyze the prospects of research on treating psoriasis combining disease with syndrome. We also make a point that there are several key points for the clinical research of combination of disease and syndrome. It can be expected that carrying out clinical research on the combination of disease and syndrome will help improve the clinical efficacy of medical treatment of psoriasis, which will be the main direction of research in the future.

Left atrial strain (LAS) was recently introduced as a parameter that reflects on left atrial function. Consequently, changes in LAS can inform the development of cardiovascular diseases, hence providing a window for non-invasive and cost-effective testing of these diseases and their complications at early stages of development, potentially offering a segway towards preventive interventions. LAS has yet to be implemented into standard practice.

Salivary proteins serve multifaceted roles in maintaining oral health and hold significant potential for diagnosing and monitoring diseases due to the non-invasive nature of saliva sampling. However, the clinical utility of current saliva biomarker studies is limited by the lack of reference intervals (RIs) to correctly interpret the testing result. Here, we developed a rapid and robust saliva proteome profiling workflow, obtaining coverage of >1,200 proteins from a 50-µL unstimulated salivary flow with 30 min gradients.
