Features: This book consists of 20 chapters, divided into four parts: Part I is "General Theory"; Part II is "Cellular and Molecular Pathophysiology"; Part III is "Pathophysiology of Basic Pathological Processes"; and Part IV is "Pathophysiology of Organ Systems." The content of the entire book fully reflects fundamental theories, basic knowledge, and basic skills, while emphasizing the ideological, scientific, advanced, enlightening, and applicable aspects. It also focuses on showcasing the latest developments, achievements, and changes in medical paradigms and disease patterns in life sciences, making it "updated, deeper, and more refined." For example, in the General Theory section, new content such as "Evidence-Based Medicine," "Aging," "Disease Genomics," and "Disease Proteomics" has been added; a chapter on "Tumors" has been included in the Basic Pathological Processes section; new chapters such as "Gastrointestinal Dysfunction" and "Cerebral Dysfunction" have been added to the Organ System Pathophysiology section; in the section on Cardiovascular Dysfunction, new topics like "Hypertension" and "Atherosclerosis" have been included; and special emphasis has been placed on the content of "Cellular and Molecular Pathophysiology." Additionally, some content has been appropriately adjusted and expanded, such as integrating "Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation" into "Coagulation and Anticoagulation Imbalance"; merging "Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome" and "Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome" into "Shock" to enhance the internal connection and logical coherence of professional knowledge.
