Background: The high-quality development of the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) industry is dependent on supportive policies and requires higher levels of coordination and integration. National and local government policies must coordinate the integrated development of the TCM industry under modern governance principles. However, the policy structure and its impact on the development of the TCM industry have not been thoroughly explored from the perspectives of policy design and empirical evidence.
Methods: A TCMIDPs evaluation system was established using the PMC-Index model to quantitatively analyze TCMIDPs in China and Shaanxi Province. Additionally, principal component analysis (PCA) was used to comprehensively evaluate 51 enterprises in Shaanxi Province.
Results: The policy analysis shows that the average PMC index of the 31 TCM industry development policies is 5.080, indicating that the areas and functions covered by these policies need improvement. The comprehensive evaluation reveals that pharmaceutical enterprises in Shaanxi Province still exhibit unbalanced development.
Conclusion: Future TCM industry policies should focus on long-term industrial development, incorporating comprehensive perspectives. Emphasis should be placed on strengthening enterprise R&D, accelerating pharmaceutical innovation, and promoting the holistic development of pharmaceutical enterprises.

In the contemporary medical landscape, the burgeoning interest in natural therapies, particularly for managing gastrointestinal disorders, has brought traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to the forefront. This article explains the core principles and clinical applications of TCM in treating these conditions, furthering the discourse through an examination of integrated TCM strategies, as demonstrated in the study by Zhou . While TCM has shown promising clinical outcomes, it encounters significant hurdles in standardization, mechanistic research, and clinical validation.

Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium peel ('Chenpi' tea) is a popular food-medicine functional tea, which mainly existing unsteamed (CRP) and steamed (SCRP) products. In this study, a combination of electronic nose and GC-MS analysis showed that aged SCRP had a more intense aroma, which was attributed to the significant reduction or disappearance of components representing refreshing aroma, such as β-Myrcene and d-Limonene, while some components with thick odors like Valencene were newly formed. For the 'dryness'-like effect, the weaker effect of SCRP relative to CRP was initially confirmed in rats, as characterized by water intake, submandibular gland index, and hemorheology, consistenting with the expression trend of aquaporin (AQP) 2, 3 and 5 mRNA.

Edible oleogels have recently attracted attention as new fat substitutes and as delivery systems. While thus having great potential, the oleogelators described thus far lack the necessary properties for extended deployment in a broad range of settings. Xylitol fatty acid monoesters have recently been identified as a novel class of oleogelator but little is currently known about how progression through an homologous series of congeners incorporating extended alkyl side-chains impacts on their properties.

The expression level of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), which functions in a manner similar to that of microrNA, has been confirmed to be closely associated with the regulatory network of multiple cancers. The primary focus of this particular research endeavor was to elucidate the mechanism of action of LINC01232 within the context of prostate cancer, specifically examining how it influences the proliferation of prostate cancer cells by interacting with the miR-181a-5p/IRS2 pathway. Additionally, the study aimed to delve deeper into the role of the Ki-67 protein within this intricate process.
