OBJECTIVE To formulate the Expert Consensus on the Implementation and Management of Drug Selection for Centralized Volume-Based Procurement in Medical Institutions of Guangxi （hereinafter referred to as the “ Consensus ”）， and to provide decision-making support and practical guidance for the drug selection and management of centralized volume-based procurement （hereinafter referred to as “centralized procurement”） drugs in medical institutions at all levels in Guangxi. METHODS A systematic review was conducted on the materials from previous batches of centralized procurement implemented in Guangxi. A comprehensive search was carried out for drug-related works and books， along with a systematic collation of guidelines on drug selection， expert consensus on centralized procurement， and policy documents. Through three rounds of specialized seminars， combined with existing evidence-based data and the practical drug selection experiences of medical institutions at various levels， this Consensus was formulated after thorough discussion and successive rounds of revision. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS The Consensus systematically outlines the three key stages in the implementation of centralized procurement in medical institutions： procurement volume reporting， confirmation of agreed procurement volume， and procurement and usage implementation. It proposes drug selection strategies for centralized procurement bas ed on multiple dimensions， including specifications， dosage forms， packaging materials， fill volume， and manufacturing enterprises. In response to practical challenges encountered in the selection process， corresponding countermeasures are proposed， such as establishing a regularized information reserve mechanism， strengthening information technology support， and implementing categorized selection approaches. The Consensus advocates for medical institutions to construct an integrated “policy， data， and quality” decision-making system to promote full-cycle management of centralized procurement. This Consensus will provide scientific and practical guidance for medical institutions at all levels in Guangxi in the drug selection of centralized procurement， facilitating the smooth implementation and sustainable development of centralized procurement policies at the institutional level.

Objective:To explore the mechanism by which moxibustion improves cold-induced blood stasis pattern(CIBSP)and to uncover the biological basis underlying the correlation between the Conception Vessel(CV),Governor Vessel(GV),Thoroughfare Vessel(TV),and the uterus by investigating the effects of mild moxibustion on the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovary axis(HPOA)in CIBSP model rats.Methods:Forty-eight female Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into a blank group,a model group,a CV group,a GV group,a TV group,and a non-meridian non-point(NMNP)group according to the random number table method,with 8 rats in each group.Except for rats in the blank group,the other rats were subjected to an ice water bath plus epinephrine to prepare CIBSP models.Each intervention group was given mild moxibustion on the first day of modeling.Qihai(CV6),Guanyuan(CV4),and Zhongji(CV3)were selected in the CV group;Huangshu(KI16),Dahe(KI12),and Henggu(KI11)were selected in the TV group;Xuanshu(GV5),Mingmen(GV4),and Yaoyangguan(GV3)were selected in the GV group;three NMNP spots were selected in the NMNP group.Mild moxibustion was administered for 20 min each time,once a day,for 14 consecutive days.The symptom scores of CIBSP and uterine electromyogram were compared among groups;morphological changes in reproductive organs were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining;enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect serum reproductive hormones and neurotransmitters.The mRNA and protein expression levels of estrogen receptor(ER),follicle-stimulating hormone receptor(FSHR),and luteinizing hormone receptor(LHR)were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction,immunohistochemistry,or Western blotting assays.Results:Compared to the blank group,the model group showed a significantly increased CIBSP symptom score,an amplified in vivo uterine myoelectric value;decreased ovarian follicles,thinner endometrial epithelium,and disordered structure with the pathological examination,decreased serum levels of reproductive hormones,6-keto-prostaglandin F1α(6-keto-PGF1α),and β-endorphin(β-EP),increased thromboxane B2(TXB2),5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT),and substance P(SP),and decreased mRNA and protein expression of ovarian ER,FSHR,and LHR(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Compared to the model and NMNP groups,each point-intervention group showed a decreased CIBSP symptom score and uterine myoelectric value;increased ovarian follicles,thickened endometrium,increased glands,up-regulated serum reproductive hormones,6-keto-PGF1α,and β-EP,down-regulated serum TXB2,5-HT,and SP and increased mRNA and protein expression of ovarian ER,FSHR,and LHR(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Conclusion:Moxibustion at points from the CV,GV,and TV("three branches from one source")can improve the reproductive neuroendocrine function of CIBSP rats,and this effect may be mediated through the regulation of the HPOA.These detections suggest that the biological basis of point-uterus correlation may be based on HPOA regulation.

Objective To explore the effect of Lokomat robotic-assisted gait training on lower limb motor function in children with hemiplegia.Methods From October,2023 to January,2025,a total of 52 children with hemiplegia admitted to Beijing Bo'ai Hospital were randomly divided into control group(n=26)and observation group(n=26).Both groups received conven-tional rehabilitation therapy,while the observation group additionally received Lokomat robotic-assisted gait training,for four weeks.Before and after intervention,the self-selected walking speed(SWS)and maximum walking speed(MWS)of 10-meter Walk Test,6-minute walking distance(6MWD),Physiological Cost Index(PCI),as well as gait line length asymmetry ratio,single support line asymmetry ratio,stance phase asymmetry ratio and step length ratio were compared.Results After intervention,SWS,MWS and 6MWD improved in both groups(|Z|>2.910,P<0.01),and were better in the the observation group than in the control group(|Z|>2.069,P<0.05);PCI significantly decreased in both groups(|Z|>4.458,P<0.001),and was lower in the observation group than in the control group(Z=-2.435,P<0.05);the gait line length asymmetry ratio,single support line asymmetry ratio and stance phase asymmetry ratio improved in both groups(Z=3.398,|t|>2.211,P<0.05),and were better in the observation group than in the control group(Z=2.802,|t|>2.107,P<0.05).Conclusion Lokomat robotic-assisted gait training can effectively improve walking speed and endurance in children with hemiplegia,reduce energy expenditure,enhance walking efficiency,and promote gait symmetry,thereby fa-cilitating symmetrical gait patterns.

Objective To investigate the potential role of plasma adiponectin concentration in predicting the response of patients with depression to electroconvulsive therapy(ECT).Methods This study enrolled depressive patients scheduled for ECT at the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University between January 2022 and March 2024.Patients were categorized as either ECT responders(>50%reduction)or non-responders(≤50%reduction)based on post-ECT reduction rate of the 24-item Hamilton depression scale(HAMD)scores from baseline.Plasma adiponectin levels were measured in all patients before their first ECT treatment.To identify predictors of ECT response in patients with depression,the predictive value of plasma adiponectin was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis.Results A total of 80 patients with depression were enrolled including 44 in the ECT-responsive group and 36 in the non-responsive group.The plasma adiponectin level was significantly higher in the responsive group than in the non-responsive group[5.67(3.64,10.55)μg/mL vs.4.01(2.59,5.04)μg/mL,P=0.002].Pearson correlation analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between plasma adiponectin levels and the HAMD reduction rate(r=0.300,P=0.007).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that plasma adiponectin was independently associated with the response to ECT in patients with depression(OR=1.218,95%CI:1.009-1.470,P=0.040).Furthermore,ROC curve analysis demonstrated that the area under the curve(AUC)for adiponectin in predicting ECT response was 0.748(95%CI:0.583-0.813).Conclusion Pretreatment plasma adiponectin may serve as a potential biomarker for predicting response to ECT in patients with depression.

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt(TIPS)is an important intervention for portal hypertension,and the degree of reduction in portal venous pressure is closely associated with the prognosis of patients.While a greater reduction in portal venous pressure may lead to more effective alleviation of portal hypertensive symptoms in cirrhotic patients,it also increases the risk of hepatic encephalopathy and liver failure.Therefore,appropriate control of the degree of reduction in portal venous pressure is essential for optimizing therapeutic outcomes.This article reviews the methods for measuring portal venous pressure,the factors affecting the reduction in portal venous pressure,the optimal range for reduction in different indications,and the impact of varying degrees of pressure reduction on complications,in order to provide guidance for improving the treatment outcome of TIPS and the prognosis of patients after surgery.

Objective To explore the effect and mechanism of Slc1a2 overexpression on cognitive dysfunction in sleep-deprived mice.Methods A total of 130 mice were divided into five groups:normal sleep(NS),NS+ov-Slc1a2,sleep deprivation(SD),SD+ov-NC,and SD+ov-Slc1a2,with 26 mice in each group.The SD mice model was established using an automatic system based on a rotating rod,and overexpress Slc1a2 adenovirus was injected into the prefrontal cortex(PFC).Immunofluorescence and Western blotting were used to detect the expression of Slc1a2 in the mouse PFC.Electrophysiological tests were used to evaluate non-rapid eye movement(NREM)sleep time,rapid eye movement(REM)sleep time,and wakefulness time in mice.Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression of glutamate(Glu)and gamma-aminobutyric acid(GABA)metabolic enzymes in the mouse PFC.Whole-cell patch-clamp recording was used to detect the frequency and amplitude of miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents(mEPSC)in mouse PFC.Immunofluorescence was used to detect the proportion of GABA-positive cells in the mouse PFC.The C11-BODIPY fluorescent probe was used to detect lipid reac-tive oxygen species(ROS)levels in mouse PFC.Commercial kits were used to detect Fe2+and malondialdehyde(MDA)levels in the mouse PFC.Cognitive function in mice was evaluated using the open field,novel object recognition,and Y-maze tests.Results Compared with the NS group,the NREM sleep time,REM sleep time,central area stay time,recognition index,and novel wall selection index increased significantly,while wakefulness time decreased significantly in the NS+ov-Slc1a2 group(all P＜0.05).The percentage of Slc1a2+GFAP+cells,expression of Slc1a2 protein,expression of Glul,Slc6a1,and Abat mRNA,frequency and amplitude of mEPSC,and proportion of GABA-positive cells in the PFC increased significantly,whereas lipid ROS,Fe2+,and MDA levels decreased significantly(all P＜0.05).Compared with the NS group,the NREM sleep time,REM sleep time,central area stay time,recognition index,and novel wall selection index of the SD group and the SD+ov-NC group were significantly decreased,whereas wakefulness time was significantly increased(all P＜0.05).The percentage of Slc1a2+GFAP+cells,expression of Slc1a2 protein,expression of Glul,Slc6a1,and Abat mRNA,frequency and amplitude of mEPSC,and proportion of GABA-positive cells in the mouse PFC decreased significantly,whereas lipid ROS,Fe2+,and MDA levels increased significantly(all P＜0.05).Compared with the SD and SD+ov-NC groups,the NREM sleep time,REM sleep time,central area stay time,recognition index,and novel wall selection index of the SD+ov-Slc1a2 group increased significantly,whereas the wakeful-ness time decreased significantly(all P＜0.05).The percentage of Slc1a2+GFAP+cells,the expression of Slc1a2 protein,the expression of Glul,Slc6a1,and Abat mRNA,the frequency and amplitude of mEPSC,and the proportion of GABA-positive cells in the mouse PFC increased significantly,whereas lipid ROS,Fe2+,and MDA levels decreased significantly(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Ectopic overexpres-sion of Slc1a2 in the PFC can improve sleep disorders in SD mice,reduce the damage caused by SD to excitatory synaptic transmission and GABAergic neuron function in the PFC,and alleviate cognitive impairment and anxiety-like behavior in these mice.Its mechanism may be related to the improvement of Glu/GABA metabolic imbalance in the PFC and inhibition of ferroptosis.

Objective To measure the three-dimensional(3D)motion of the knee joint in healthy people and patients after total knee arthroplasty(TKA).Methods The coordinate system for the tibia and femur of the knee joint was established,and the marking points were pasted at the bone landmarks.Then the 3D motion of human knee joint was measured by biplane high-speed photogrammetry,and the data were processed according to the coordinate transformation.Results The peak values of adduction and abduction,internal and external rotation,internal and external translation,and proximal and distal movement of the artificial knee joint were larger than those of the healthy knee joint(P<0.05),but there was no statitistic difference in posterior displacement between the artificial and healthy knee joints(P=0.05).Conclusions By measuring the knee joint motion,not only the difference in knee joint motion between the healthy volunteers and TKA patients was revealed,but also the effectiveness of biplane high-speed photography in knee joint kinematic measurement was demonstrated.

Objective To investigate the prognostic differences among pure urothelial carcinoma,squamous-differentiated urothelial carcinoma,and pure squamous cell carcinoma,so as to provide reference for postoperative risk stratification.Methods The clinical data of bladder cancer patients who visited the Department of Urology,Peking University First Hospital and underwent radical cystectomy during Jan.2005 and Jun.2024 were retrospectively analyzed.Patients were categorized into the pure urothelial carcinoma group(n=725),squamous-differentiated urothelial carcinoma group(n=189),and pure squamous cell carcinoma group(n=36).General characteristics,surgical approaches,pathological staging,muscle invasion status,and lymph node positivity were compared among the three groups.Kaplan-Meier survival curves were plotted,and prognostic differences among the groups were compared after 1∶1 propensity score matching between each pair.Independent risk factors of prognosis were identified with Cox multivariable regression.Results The pure squamous cell carcinoma group had a higher proportion of female patients(50.00％vs.25.24％vs.22.75％,P=0.002 4).Compared with the pure urothelial carcinoma group,the other two groups demonstrated higher proportions of stage Ⅲ+Ⅳ,higher rates of muscle invasion,and higher lymph node positivity,with the pure squamous cell carcinoma group showing the highest overall staging(69.45％vs.58.20％vs.29.38％,P＜0.000 1).Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that squamous-differentiated urothelial carcinoma group and pure squamous cell carcinoma group had significantly worse survival than the pure urothelial carcinoma group(P＜0.05),while the former two groups exhibited similar outcomes(P=0.85).After propensity score matching,postoperative survival curves among the three groups were not significantly different(all P＞0.05).In multivariable Cox proportional hazards models adjusting for confounders,prognosis was primarily associated with age,muscle invasion,and lymph-node positivity(P＜0.05);pathological subtype was not an independent predictor of postoperative survival.Conclusion In a cohort of non-metastatic patients undergoing radical cystectomy,pure squamous cell carcinoma and squamous-differentiated urothelial carcinoma presented with higher clinical and pathological staging and poorer unadjusted prognosis compared with pure urothelial carcinoma.However,postoperative survival did not differ significantly among the three groups in the same clinicopathological conditions.

Objective:To adapt the Mindful Breastfeeding Scale (MINDF-BFS) into Chinese and assess its reliability and validity among breastfeeding mothers in China.Methods:Following the Beaton cross-cultural adaptation guideline, the original scale was translated, back-translated, discussed by experts, pre-tested, culturally adapted, and revised to develop the Chinese version of the MINDF-BFS. A convenience sampling method was used to select 305 postpartum women from Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center, Guangzhou Medical University, who visited between March and June 2024, as the study participants. The reliability and validity of the Chinese version of MINDF-BFS were evaluated.Results:The Chinese version of MINDF-BFS consisted of nine items, with the item-level content validity index ranged from 0.900 to 1.000, and the average scale-level content validity index was 0.990. Exploratory factor analysis extracted one common factor, with a variance contribution of 73.290%. Confirmatory factor analysis showed a good model fit. The Cronbach's α coefficient for the scale was 0.923, the split-half reliability coefficient was 0.915, and the test-retest reliability coefficient was 0.926.Conclusions:The Chinese version of MINDF-BFS has good psychometric properties and is suitable for assessing the mindful breastfeeding levels of Chinese postpartum women.

Objective:To identify the incidence and prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in the northern Chinese population of Jinan, Shangdong Province, along with its temporal trends from 2005 to 2022.Methods:By utilizing the data from the Jinan basic medical insurance system, a population-based IBD cohort was constructed. This facilitated the computation of both the incidence and prevalence rates of IBD, alongside their temporal trends throughout the 2005 to 2022 timeframe. The 95% confidence intervals were estimated using poisson regression.Results:The overall incidence rate of IBD showed a yearly increasing trend, with age-standardized incidence rates rising from 0.03/100 000 in 2005 to 5.39/100 000 in 2022. The age-standardized incidence rate of ulcerative colitis (UC) increased from 0.03/100 000 in 2005 to 4.97/100 000 in 2022. The age-standardized incidence rate of Crohn's disease (CD) rose from 0.05/100 000 in 2011 to 0.44/100 000 in 2022. The crude prevalence of IBD increased from 0.60/100 000 in 2005 to 32.39/100 000 in 2022. Specifically, the crude prevalence of UC increased from 0.60/100 000 in 2005 to 31.44/100 000 in 2022, while the crude prevalence of CD increased from 0.05/100 000 in 2011 to 1.19/100 000 in 2022.Conclusions:Analysis of recent medical insurance data reveals a continuous uptrend in both the incidence and prevalence of IBD in Jinan, a northern city in China. This underscores the urgent need for enhanced medical resources and healthcare guaruntee to ensure the well-being of individuals afflicted with IBD.
