Objective To investigate the distribution characteristics of pathogens causing infections within 90 days after liver transplantation and the influencing factors of infection. Methods Clinical data of 176 recipients who underwent liver transplantation at the Liver Transplant Center of Beijing Friendship Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from September 2021 to August 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into the infection group (n=124) and the non-infection group (n=52) based on whether they developed infection within 90 days after transplantation. The distribution characteristics of pathogens in infected patients were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to explore the influencing factors of infection. Results Among the 176 liver transplant recipients, 124 cases developed 243 episodes of 518 bacterial, fungal, viral or mycoplasma infections within 90 days after transplantation, with an overall infection rate of 70.5% (124/176). The composition of pathogens was mainly Gram-negative bacteria (38.6%, 200/518), followed by Gram-positive bacteria (32.2%, 167/518) and viruses (15.4%, 80/518), and fungi accounted for 13.1% (68/518). Among Gram-negative bacteria, the main pathogen was Klebsiella pneumoniae (6.8%, 35/518), and among Gram-positive bacteria, the main pathogen was Enterococcus faecalis (8.5%, 44/518). Viruses included Epstein-Barr virus (3.7%, 19/518) and cytomegalovirus (3.7%, 19/518), and fungi were mainly Candida albicans (6.8%, 35/518). The most common infection site among the 243 episodes was pulmonary infection (42.0%, 102/243), followed by abdominal infection (22.6%, 55/243) and bloodstream infection (18.1%, 44/243). The infections mainly occurred within 2 weeks after transplantation (60.9%, 148/243). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that preoperative infection within 2 weeks, a high preoperative model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score, and preoperative sarcopenia were independent risk factors for infection within 90 days after liver transplantation (all odds ratio>1, P<0.05). After multivariate correction, the levels of CD4⁺T cells and CD8⁺T cells within 90 days after surgery were independently associated with the occurrence of infection. Low levels of CD4⁺T cells and CD8⁺T cells might be related to an increased risk of infection. Conclusions The infection rate after liver transplantation is high, and the pathogens are mainly Gram-negative bacteria. The lungs are the most common infection site. Preoperative MELD score, preoperative sarcopenia and preoperative infection within 2 weeks are independent risk factors for infection within 90 days after liver transplantation. Regular monitoring of immune indicators CD4⁺T cells and CD8⁺T cells levels after transplantation is helpful to reduce the occurrence of post-transplantation infection.

To thoroughly implement the strategic deployment outlined in the Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Promoting the Inheritance and Innovative Development of Traditional Chinese Medicine regarding research on dominant diseases of traditional Chinese medicine and to uphold the development philosophy of equal emphasis on traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine，the China Association of Chinese Medicine has fully played a leading academic role by systematically organizing and conducting a series of academic youth salons on clinical dominant diseases of traditional Chinese medicine. On September 13，2024，the 36^th Youth Salon on Clinical Dominant Diseases was successfully held in Nanjing，focusing on the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine and the integrative traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine in the diagnosis and treatment of erectile dysfunction （ED）. The conference brought together leading experts from traditional Chinese medicine，western medicine，and interdisciplinary fields，facilitating in-depth multidisciplinary discussions that led to key consensus on optimizing traditional Chinese medicine treatment protocols for ED，researching and developing new drugs of traditional Chinese medicine，and advancing interdisciplinary development in traditional Chinese medicine. This salon systematically sorted out the clinical strengths and distinctive features of traditional Chinese medicine in the diagnosis and treatment of ED. Based on current research foundations and clinical needs，it identified key directions for future scientific layout and scientific research tackling： （1） Standardization of syndrome differentiation system of traditional Chinese medicine for ED. （2） Optimization and standardization of intervention methods of integrated traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine. （3） High-quality clinical research guided by evidence-based medicine. （4） In-depth analysis of the pharmacological mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of ED. （5） Clinical translation and application promotion of new drugs of traditional Chinese medicine. （6） Interdisciplinary integration and innovation in traditional Chinese medicine. For each research direction，key focus areas，expected objectives，and clinical value were further refined，along with the establishment of a scientifically sound priority funding level evaluation system. Therefore，building on the series of salons on the ED-focused dominant diseases of traditional Chinese medicine，this paper provides standardized guidance for clinical practice of traditional Chinese medicine in ED management，effectively contributing to the high-quality development of traditional Chinese medicine. It serves as a valuable reference for national scientific and technological strategic layout， research and development decision-making in new drugs of traditional Chinese medicine，research topic planning，and clinical guideline formulation.

BackgroundSchizophrenia， as a common chronic mental disorder， although second-generation antipsychotic drugs have shown significant efficacy in alleviating positive symptoms， the widespread cognitive dysfunction among patients remains a challenge in clinical treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine has unique advantages in the treatment of mental disorders. However， the current clinical research on the combination of Wendan Decoction and antipsychotic drugs for schizophrenia varies in quality， and there is a lack of systematic reviews evaluating its effects on cognitive improvement and safety. ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the effects of modified Wendan Decoction combined with antipsychotic drugs on schizophrenia symptoms and cognitive improvement， providing evidence-based support for the clinical application of Wendan Decoction. MethodsLiterature searches were conducted in China National Knowledge Infrastructure （CNKI）， Wanfang Data， VIP Information， China Biomedical Literature Service System， China Clinical Trial Registry， PubMed， Web of Science， the Cochrane Library， and Embase to collect randomized controlled trials （RCTs） of modified Wendan Decoction combined with antipsychotic drugs for the treatment of schizophrenia. The search period was from the establishment of the databases to March 19， 2026. The quality of the included literature was evaluated using the Cochrane 6.3. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software. ResultsA total of 11 studies were included， involving 1 130 patients with schizophrenia. Among them， 566 cases were in the study group （receiving modified Wendan Decoction combined with antipsychotic drugs）， and 564 cases were in the control group （receiving antipsychotic drugs only）. Meta-analysis showed that the effective rate of improvement in psychotic symptoms in the study group was higher than that in the control group （RR=1.21，95% CI： 1.15–1.27， P<0.01）. In terms of psychotic symptoms， the Positive and Negative Symptom Scale （PANSS） positive symptom score （MD=-3.69， 95% CI： -5.87–-1.51， P<0.01） and PANSS total score （MD=-9.20， 95% CI： -11.80–-6.59， P<0.01） of the study group were lower than those of the control group. In cognitive function assessments， the Mini-Mental State Examination （MMSE） score （MD=2.51， 95% CI： 1.33–3.68， P<0.01） and the Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment （LOTCA） score （MD=11.85， 95% CI： 2.55–21.15， P=0.010） of the study group were higher than those of the control group， and the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test （WCST） score was lower than that of the control group （MD=-9.34， 95% CI： -12.57–-6.11， P<0.01）. The levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor （BDNF） （SMD=1.34， 95% CI： 0.63–2.05， P<0.01） and nerve growth factor （NGF） （MD=6.94， 95% CI： 4.00–9.89， P<0.01） of the study group were higher than those of the control group. In terms of safety， there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups （RR=0.60， 95% CI： 0.31–1.18， P=0.14）. ConclusionThe modified Wendan Decoction combined with antipsychotic drugs may be more effective than antipsychotic drugs alone in improving positive symptoms and cognitive function in patients with schizophrenia， and it also exerts a favorable neurotrophic regulatory effect. ［Funded by Postgraduate Education Reform and Quality Improvement Project of Henan Province （number， YJS2023AL060）； Key Scientific Research Projects of Higher Education Institutions in Henan Province （number， 24B320018， 25B310004）］

ObjectiveTo analyze the epidemiological and etiological characteristics of a cluster of human metapneumovirus (HMPV) infection in a kindergarten in Gongshu District of Hangzhou City in May 2024, and to provide reference for the prevention and control of similar outbreaks. MethodsAn on-site investigation was conducted using an epidemiological case investigation form. Throat swab specimens collected from cases were screened for 13 respiratory pathogens using real-time fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (PCR). For HMPV nucleic acid positive specimens, the F gene of HMPV was used as the target gene for amplification and sequencing. The sequencing results were then compared with sequences in GenBank database to determine the virus subtypes and perform phylogenetic analyses. ResultsThe outbreak occurred in a kindergarter junior class with a total of 28 preschoolers and 3 teachers and childcare workers. A total of 11 cases (10 preschoolers and 1 teacher) were identified, including 8 male cases and 3 female cases. Clinical manifestations included fever in all 11 cases (100.00%), cough in 8 cases (72.72%), catarrhal symptoms in 4 cases (36.36%), and headache in 3 cases (27.27%). All symptoms were mild, and no severe cases were observed. A total of 11 throat swab samples were collected. Real-time fluorescent PCR test results showed that 3 samples were positive for HMPV nucleic acid, 2 samples were positive for both HMPV and Streptococcus pneumoniae, and 1 sample was positive for both HMPV and rhinovirus. The sequences of the 6 HMPV nucleic acid positive specimens were amplified and analyzed using specific primers, and all were determined to be HMPV subtype A2b. The F gene fragment sequence showed the highest similarity to PV081665.1/Brazil/2024 (99.65%), and also exhibited high similarity to PP683455.1/Indonesia/2021 (99.48%), PV016275.1/Beijing/2024 (99.31%), and PV052230.1/USA/2024 (99.13%). ConclusionThis cluster of acute respiratory tract infection was caused by HMPV subtype A2b, with co-infection of rhinovirus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. The F gene fragment sequences of the HMPV in this outbreak were highly homologous to those of the A2b strains isolated from Brazil, Beijing, Indonesia, and the the United States.

Objective: There were associations between emotional abuse and neglect (EAN) and depression, but few studies had tested potential mechanisms underlying these relationships. We aimed to provide insights on how (the mediation role of neuroticism), and under what conditions (the moderator role of psychological resilience), led to a higher level of depression. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study that used a random cluster sampling method. We randomly selected 3,993 participants from four junior middle schools in northern city of China. Participants were asked to complete four self-reported questionnaires, including the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, Children Depression Inventory-Short Form, Chinese Big Five Personality Inventory Brief Version, and Chinese Resilience Scale. Results: The results showed that neuroticism mediated the associations between EAN and depression. In addition, the mediating effect of neuroticism was moderated by psychological resilience (p<0.05). Conclusion EAN and neuroticism could have an adverse impact on depression, and psychological resilience could alleviate these negative effects as a moderator. Our model suggested psychological resilience could be a particularly effective intervention point for victims of EAN.

Objective: To examine the impacts of chemotherapy/radiotherapy, targeted therapy, and combined treatment on the quality of life in patients with intermediate and advanced lung cancer. Methods: The patients with intermediate and advanced lung cancer undergoing chemotherapy/radiotherapy, targeted therapy, and combined treatment for the first time were recruited from a tertiary hospital in Weifang City, Shandong Province, using a quota sampling method in September 2023. Basic information was collected using a general information questionnaire, and the quality of life was assessed using the Chinese version of Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General. The investigation started on the 7th day of treatment, and the follow-ups were conducted at 3 and 6 months. The quality of life in patients with different treatment regimens and at different treatment time were compared using repeated measure analysis of variance. Results: There were 26 chemotherapy/radiotherapy patients, 32 targeted therapy patients, and 95 combination therapy patients. There were no significant differences in age, gender, place of residence, education level, self-rated economic status, medical insurance, pathological type and disease stage among the three treatment regimens (all P>0.05). The repeated measure analysis of variance showed an interaction effect between time and group among patients receiving the three treatment regimens (P<0.05). The quality of life scores of patients receiving combination therapy decreased with extended treatment time (all P<0.05). The quality of life scores of patients receiving targeted therapy at 3 and 6 months were lower than those treated for 7 days (both P<0.05). No significant differences were observed in quality of life scores among chemotherapy/radiotherapy patients with different treatment durations (all P>0.05). At 3 and 6 months, patients receiving combination therapy had lower quality of life scores compared to those receiving chemotherapy/radiotherapy or targeted therapy (all P<0.05). Conclusion The decline in quality of life for patients with intermediate and advanced lung cancer undergoing chemotherapy/radiotherapy and targeted therapy is less than that for patients receiving combined therapy.
