Abstract:
The mechanistic target of rapamycin （mTOR） is an important signaling functions as a central regulator of cell growth, proliferation and metabolism. Dysregulated mTOR signaling has been implicated in various inflammatory and hyperproliferative skin conditions. Emerging data suggest that mTOR signaling is tightly associated with acne pathogenesis. The regulatory mechanisms of the mTOR signaling pathway in the pathogenesis of acne were summarized and the current progress of therapeutic targeting mTOR pathway for acne were discussed in this paper.

Abstract:
As a commonly used clinical herb, Ligustri Lucidi Fructus is renowned for its effects in nourishing the liver and kidneys, improving vision, and darkening hair. Its preparation originated from the "steaming on rice" method in the Song Dynasty. After centuries of inheritance and development, it has evolved into the diverse processing techniques used today. Ancient methods primarily included cleaning, cutting, soaking, honey-roasting, and steaming, while baking-though documented-was not a mainstream practice. Modern techniques have inherited traditional approaches such as cleaning, steaming, and roasting, while diversifying into specifications like wine-steaming, wine-stewing, plain steaming, vinegar-steaming, salt-roasting, and ultra-fine granules. However, variations in critical parameters, such as auxiliary material ratios and steaming duration across regions, have led to inconsistencies in the quality of processed Ligustri Lucidi Fructus. Notably, region-specific methods warrant further exploration, as they may embody unique processing principles and advantages with potential value for enhancing efficacy and quality. By systematically reviewing the historical evolution and regional variations of processing techniques for Ligustri Lucidi Fructus, key issues such as inconsistent processing parameters were identified, which provided a reference for the standardization of processing procedures and the improvement of quality standards.

Abstract:
Hippophae rhamnoides is a plant with both medicinal and edible properties, rich in nutritional value and biological activity, and has a long history of medicinal use. It is rich in various chemically active components, mainly including flavonoids, polysaccharides, vitamins, and fatty acids. In recent years, extensive research has been conducted on the chemically active components of sea buckthorn both at home and abroad. By comparing different extraction methods of various components, it has been found that different extraction methods affect the chemical structure of Hippophae rhamnoides extracts, and thus influence their pharmacological activities. Studies have shown that Hippophae rhamnoides has significant pharmacological effects in cardiovascular diseases, obesity and overweight, liver diseases, immune regulation diseases, gastrointestinal diseases and so on, with multiple pharmacological activities such as antioxidation, anti-inflammation, lipid-lowering, and blood sugar-lowering. Its development and application value in the fields of health food and medicine is immeasurable. The different chemical components of Hippophae rhamnoides, their extraction and analysis methods were systematically reviews, as well as the research progress on its main pharmacological effects and mechanisms, which could provide a reference basis for the further development and application of Hippophae rhamnoides resources.

Abstract:
With the aging of the population, Alzheimer’s disease（AD）has become a common disease in the elderly. Because of its complex pathogenesis and the limited clinical drugs which can only improve the symptoms, traditional Chinese medicine（TCM）shows great potential in the prevention and treatment of AD. Its multi-component and multi-target characteristics coincide with the network pharmacology concept of regulating multiple targets signal pathways. The common websites and tools of network pharmacology, as well as the application of network pharmacology in the research of AD were summarized, which provided reference for further research on the prevention and treatment of AD using traditional Chinese medicine.

Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical recognition, anticoagulation transition strategies, and key points of pharmaceutical care for heparin-induced thrombocytopenia type Ⅱ （HIT） in hemodialysis patients and provide reference for standardized management of similar cases. Methods Through a case report of a 78-year-old female patient with stage 5D chronic kidney disease （CKD） who developed type Ⅱ HIT following low molecular weight heparin （LMWH） anticoagulation, clinical pharmacists participated in therapeutic decision-making. Clinical probability was assessed using the 4T's score, a heparin-free alternative anticoagulation regimen was formulated, and comprehensive pharmaceutical care was implemented throughout the treatment course. Relevant literature was reviewed to analyze pathogenesis, diagnostic criteria, and alternative anticoagulant options for HIT. Results The patient with end-stage renal disease （ESRD） underwent hemodialysis and developed progressive thrombocytopenia on day 11 of LMWH anticoagulation, accompanied by multiple deep veins thromboses （DVT） and dry gangrene of the extremities. Despite negative heparin-platelet factor Ⅳ （PF4） antibody testing, the 4T's score was 7 points （high clinical probability）. Clinical pharmacists recommended immediate discontinuation of all heparin and transition to Argatroban combined with Rivaroxaban. Following treatment, platelet counts progressively were recovered, DVT was resolved, and peripheral perfusion was improved. Occult blood in stool and generalized ecchymosis occurred during therapy; bleeding manifestations resolved after rivaroxaban dose adjustment. Conclusion Hemodialysis patients are a high-risk population for type Ⅱ HIT. For patients with 4T's score ≥6, immediate HIT management should be initiated regardless of antibody test results, including discontinuation of all heparin agents and initiation of non-heparin anticoagulation. Through participation in therapeutic decision-making, optimization of anticoagulation regimens, and adverse reaction monitoring, clinical pharmacists could effectively ensure medication safety in hemodialysis patients complicated with HIT.
