This study focuses on the core pathology of sinew wei （痿）， which is mainly characterized by the fai-lure of qi and blood to nourish the sinews. A mechanical-biological response framework is constructed with mitochondria as a key component， explaining the modern interpretation of the disease location of sinew transmitting to qi and blood pathology. Mechanical loading， as a physical stress stimulus applied to the body， manifests primarily as passive loading formed by external forces such as massage， and active loading resulting from voluntary muscle contractions， such as dao yin （导引）. Mechanical loading can regulate mitochondrial function through two pathways， mechanical signal transduction and metabolic demand-driven regulation. Skeletal muscle mitochondrial dysfunction is regarded as the core microscopic basis of qi imbalance in sinew wei， highlighting the intrinsic connection between qi and mitochondrial energy metabolism， as well as between blood and microcirculatory efficiency. Accordingly， distinct regulatory patterns of mechanical loading are identified. Wei associated with qi stagnation may correspond to mitochondrial network fragmentation and can be treated by regulating qi through passive loading， such as tuina， to restore mitochondrial dynamics. In contrast， wei caused by qi deficiency is attributed to insufficient mitochondrial biogenesis and may be treated by tonifying qi through active loading， such as dao yin， to promote mitochondrial biogenesis. This framework reveals the biological differences in mitochondrial regulation induced by distinct mechanical loading modalities and provides a microscopic mechanism-based explanation for the principle of "treating the same disease with different methods" in sinew wei.

Gastric cancer is a malignant tumor with high prevalence worldwide and limited therapeutic options.Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell(CAR-T)therapy has emerged as a promising approach for gastric cancer treatment;however,its application faces substantial challenges.This review provides comprehensive summary of the recent advances in CAR-T cell therapy for gastric cancer,systematic analysis of critical break throughs and core challenges from target discovery to clinical translation,and outlining of future perspectives.We describe the criter-ia for ideal target selection and highlight the current research landscape of major targets,including CLDN18.2 that demonstrated efficacy,and targets facing distinct challenges,including HER-2,CEA,EpCAM,and MUC1.This review also finely dissects three central barriers restrict-ing CAR-T cell efficacy,and discusses corresponding countermeasures:overcoming the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment through strategies such as local delivery,armored CAR-T cells,and combination therapies;engineering approaches including affinity modula-tion and logic-gate designs to mitigate on-target/off-tumor toxicity;and optimization of manufacturing processes and reduction of costs via early leukapheresis,rapid production platforms,and universal CAR-T cell strategies.Future multidimensional,integrative,and innovative strategies are pivotal for achieving comprehensive break throughs in CAR-T cell therapy for solid tumors.

Objective To investigate the status quo,driving factors and clinical intervention measures of intrinsic capacity(IC)in elderly patients with cerebrovascular disease.Methods Clinical data of 206 elderly patients with cerebrovascular disease admitted to our hospital from January to December 2024 were retrospectively collected.According to the IC score,they were divided into a low IC group(123 cases,IC score＜4)and a good IC group(83 cases,IC score≥4).The IC scores were compared between the two groups,and the driving factors affecting the IC were analyzed.Results The low IC group exhibited significantly lower IC score than the good IC group(1.94±0.49 vs 4.52±0.15,P＜0.01).The age ≥80 years,dysfunctions,three or more chronic diseases,frailty,albumin ≤ 35 g/L,pre-albumin ≤280 mg/L,rehabilitation guidance and regular exercises were the influencing factors of IC in elderly patients with cerebrovascular disease(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Conclusion The IC of elderly patients with cerebrovascular disease is associated with many factors,and corresponding clinical intervention measures should be implemented to promote the improvement of patient's IC.

For middle-aged and elderly patients with conditions such as spinal fractures and degenerative spinal diseases, spinal internal fixation is a core surgical procedure for reconstructing spinal stability, heavily relying on the biomechanical stability provided by pedicle screw systems. Whereas, these patients are often complicated by osteoporosis that can significantly compromise the stability of the bone-pedicle screw interface, leading to a marked increase in pedicle screw loosening and surgical failure rates. The bone cement-augmented pedicle screw technique, which involves injecting bone cement into the vertebral body or screw trajectory to optimize the mechanical properties of the bone-pedicle screw composite, has been proven to significantly enhance fixation strength and effectively prevent screw-related failures, thereby reducing the incidence of internal fixation failure in high-risk populations undergoing spinal fusion. However, the widespread clinical application of this technique has faced challenges such as inaccurate clinical decision-making (indication and contraindication selection), non-standardized operative practices, and insufficient awareness of complication prevention, resulting in considerable variability in clinical outcomes and even severe complications. To address this, Prof. Luo Fei from First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University initiated the project and the Chinese Association Orthopaedic Surgeons organized relevant experts to develop the Evidence-based clinical practice guideline for bone cement-augmented pedicle screw technique ( version 2025), based on current evidence. The guidelines put forward 8 recommendations regarding the clinical value, scope of application, and operational standards of the technique, aiming to provide evidence-based medical support and technical standardization for clinical decision-making.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics and polysomnographic(PSG)features of children with sleep-related hypoventilation disorder(SRHD),facilitate its auxiliary diagnosis,and explore the therapeutic effects of non-invasive positive pressure ventilation(NPPV)on SRHD children.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on the medical records of 16 children diagnosed with SRHD who were admitted and treated in the Department of Respiratory Diseases,Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Institute of Pediatrics,from July 2016 to June 2024.Additionally,69 children with severe obstructive sleep apnea(OSA)who visited the Department of Respiratory Diseases and Otolaryngology at the same hospital from July 2021 to June 2022 and met the inclusion criteria were enrolled to compare clinical and PSG characteristics between SRHD and OSA children.The therapeutic effects of NPPV were evaluated.Results(1)Among 16 SRHD children,4(25.0%)presented with cyanosis,9(56.3%)with dyspnea,and 5(31.3%)with convulsions.(2)Eleven SRHD children completed PSG+PetCO2,showing PSG characteristics consistent with severe OSA.(3)Compared with severe OSA children,SRHD children had lower proportion of rapid eye movement(REM)sleep,mean and minimum oxygen saturation,and higher obstructive hypopnea index,obstructive apnea-hypopnea index(OAHI),and apnea-hypopnea index(AHI)(P<0.05).(4)When compared with 25 severe OSA children with OAHI>25,the ratio of obstructive apnea to hypoventilation was approximately 1:30 in SRHD children,with more significant decrease in pulse oxygen saturation(P<0.05).(5)After NPPV treatment for 12 SRHD children,clinical symptoms and PSG indicators significantly improved(P<0.05).Conclusions The 3 main symptoms in SRHD children are dyspnea,convulsions,and cyanosis.For children with unexplained cyanosis and PSG meeting severe OSA criteria,especially those with predominantly obstructive hypoventilation events and significant SpO2 reduction,PetCO2 monitoring should be performed to detect SRHD early.NPPV improves clinical symptoms,reduces sleep-related events,increases sleep-time SpO2,and enhances sleep safety in SRHD children.

Objective:To explore the relationship between sperm DNA integrity, semen parameters, seminal plasma neutral α-glucosidase activity and in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) outcomes. Methods:The clinical data of 300 male infertile patients who underwent routine semen analysis in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from October 2023 to April 2024 and whose spouses received IVF/ICSI treatment were retrospectively analyzed. The results of sperm DNA integrity [sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI)], semen parameters (sperm percentage, sperm density, sperm motility, normal morphology sperm rate) and seminal plasma neutral α-glucosidase activity at admission were recorded. According to their spouses′ IVF/ICSI outcomes, the 300 patients were divided into the successful pregnancy group (those with successful intrauterine pregnancy detected by ultrasound 30 days after transplantation) and the unsuccessful pregnancy group (those without successful intrauterine pregnancy detected by ultrasound 30 days after transplantation). The differences in sperm DNA integrity, semen parameters and seminal plasma neutral α-glucosidase activity at admission between the two groups were compared. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive efficacy of sperm DNA integrity, semen parameters and seminal plasma neutral α-glucosidase activity in male infertile patients at admission for their spouses′ IVF/ICSI outcomes.Results:According to the IVF/ICSI outcomes of the spouses of male infertile patients, 169 cases (56.3%) had successful intrauterine pregnancy detected by ultrasound 30 days after transplantation; 131 cases (43.7%) had unsuccessful intrauterine pregnancy. At admission, there was no statistically significant difference in clinical data between the two groups (all P>0.05). The DFI and sperm density in the successful pregnancy group were lower than those in the unsuccessful pregnancy group, while the sperm percentage, sperm motility, normal morphology sperm rate and seminal plasma neutral α-glucosidase activity were higher than those in the unsuccessful pregnancy group (all P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) values of single indicators including DFI, sperm percentage, sperm density, sperm motility, normal morphology sperm rate, and seminal plasma neutral α-glucosidase level in predicting the IVF/ICSI outcomes of spouses of male infertile patients were 0.719, 0.718, 0.812, 0.779, 0.769, and 0.736, respectively; the sensitivities were 70.42%, 77.46%, 69.01%, 70.42%, 69.01%, and 77.46%, respectively; the specificities were 66.38%, 55.02%, 81.22%, 73.80%, 77.29%, and 62.88%, respectively; the Youden indexes were 0.368, 0.325, 0.502, 0.442, 0.463, and 0.404, respectively; all differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Sperm DNA integrity, semen parameters and seminal plasma neutral α-glucosidase activity can assist in predicting IVF/ICSI outcomes, providing an important reference for the treatment outcomes of male infertile patients.

Objective:To construct a clinical decision-making ability indicator system based on evidence-based practice for pediatric nursing interns, and to provide a scientific basis for clinical teaching and evaluation.Methods:A method combining literature analysis, Delphi expert consultation, and empirical research was used. Firstly, a systematic search of Chinese and English databases (2018-2023) was conducted. Literature was screened based on the PICO framework and evidence-based data were extracted, resulting in a preliminary system consisting of 4 primary indicators, 12 secondary indicators, and 39 tertiary indicators. Subsequently, the indicators were revised through two rounds of Delphi expert consultation (25 experts with 19-27 years of work experience). The expert authority coefficients (Cr) were 0.898-0.907 and the Kendall's concordance coefficients were 0.351-0.420 ( P<0.001). Finally, the analytic hierarchy process was used to determine the weights, and the reliability and validity were verified through a questionnaire survey (sample size: 30 participants in preliminary survey and 58 participants in formal survey). Results:The constructed indicator system included 4 primary indicators (weights), 13 secondary indicators, and 42 tertiary indicators. The weights of the primary indicators were as follows: knowledge integration ability (0.300), evidence-based practice ability (0.250), clinical judgment ability (0.280), and ethical decision-making ability (0.170). The importance scores of all items exceeded 4.0 points (out of 5 points), and the coefficients of variation were less than 0.20. The reliability and validity tests showed that the Cronbach's α of the overall scale was 0.89, and the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.88. The cumulative variance contribution rate of exploratory factor analysis was 69.30%. The confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated a good model fit with a comparative fit index of 0.93 and a root mean square error of approximation of 0.05. Conclusions:This indicator system has high scientificity and practicality, and can provide a reference for the standardized cultivation and evaluation of clinical decision-making ability of pediatric nursing interns. In the future, it is necessary to strengthen advanced evidence-based skills training and long-term application effectiveness tracking.

Objective:To investigate the characteristic distribution of vaginal microbiota in infertile women.Methods:We collected the results of vaginal microbiological examinations from 19322 initial visit infertile women who visited the Reproductive Medicine Center of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology,the Second Affili-ated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from March 1,2023 to July 31,2024.The vaginal microbiota infection status of patients was compared in different age groups(＜25 years old,25-＜30 years old,30-＜35 years old,35-＜40 years old,≥40 years old)and different seasons(spring,summer,autumn,winter).Results:①Among 19322 women,6027 cases(31.19％)showed abnormal vaginal microecology.Pathogenic microorganisms were detected in 3093 cases,including 2882 cases of single vaginitis,211 cases of mixed vaginitis,3764 cases with vagi-nal cleanliness grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ,and 3965 cases with abnormal lactobacilli.Among patients with single vaginitis,1349 cases(46.81％)were diagnosed with vulvovaginal candidiasis(VVC),which was the highest proportion.Aerobic vaginitis(AV)followed with 752 cases(26.09％),and bacterial vaginosis(BV)had 671 cases(23.28％),trichomonal vaginitis(TV)with 110 cases(3.82％).Among patients with mixed vaginitis,AV+BV was the most common with 96 cases(45.49％).②The detection rates of cleanliness grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ,abnormal lactobacilli,abnor-mal microorganisms(unclear pathogen),single vaginitis(BV,VVC and TV),and mixed vaginitis showed statisti-cally significant differences across different seasons(P＜0.05).Specifically,the detection rates of cleanliness grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ and abnormal microorganisms(unclear pathogens)were significantly higher in autumn than in other seasons(P＜0.05),while the detection rate of abnormal lactobacilli was higher in spring than in other seasons(P＜0.05).③The detection rates of abnormal lactobacilli,abnormal microorganisms(unclear pathogen),single vaginitis(BV,VVC and AV),and mixed vaginitis showed significant differences among different age groups(P＜0.05).Specifically,the detection rate of abnormal microorganisms(unclear pathogen)was higher in the age group＜25 years than in other age groups(P＜0.05),while the detection rate of BV among single vaginitis cases was higher in the age group≥40 years than in other age groups(P＜0.05).Conclusions:The vaginal microecol-ogy of infertile women varies in terms of infection rates across different age groups and seasons.Patients with simple vaginitis have the highest rate of VVC,while those with mixed vaginitis have the highest proportion of AV+BV infection.

Critical care medicine(CCM)is a multifaceted discipline challenged by the inherent heterogeneity and complexity of critical illnesses.Establishing precise,standardized diagnostic and therapeutic systems has emerged as a crucial challenge requiring urgent resolution in this field.Surgical critical care,a pivotal branch of CCM,plays an indispensable role in managing patients with severe trauma,postoperative intra-abdominal infections,solid organ transplantation,and other life-threatening conditions.Evidence-based,etiology-guided therapy serves as the cornerstone of surgical critical care,where accurate identification and timely interventions constitute vital determinants for enhancing patient survival rates and improving prognoses.This article proposes an innovative diagnostic and therapeutic paradigm termed the urgency/physics-biology-chemistry(U/P-B-C)model.Built upon the established principle of urgent(urgency,U)life support in surgical critical care,this model emphasizes a novel conceptual framework centered on etiology-based(physics-biology-chemistry,P-B-C)diagnosis and treatment.Implementing the U/P-B-C innovative diagnostic and therapeutic model in surgical critical care facilitates precise identification of the fundamental pathological mechanisms underlying critical clinical conditions with complex and dynamic clinical environments,enables systematic clarification of clinical reasoning,and ultimately supports evidence-informed decision-making.Its core objectives encompass enhancing surgical intensivists' diagnostic-therapeutic capabilities and ensuring rigorous adherence to the principle of etiology-guided therapy,thereby providing both theoretical foundation and practical guidance for improving the success rate of patient resuscitation and optimizing prognosis in surgical critical care settings.
