Objective It analyzes the problems of connotation definition and cross-departmental collaboration existing in the practice of discipline construction in public hospitals,providing a basis for improving the construction of medical disciplines.Methods Firstly,through literature research,relevant literature on discipline construction at home and abroad was sorted out to summarize the current research status of medical discipline construction.Secondly,A questionnaire survey was conducted.Twenty hospitals rated"A++++"in the 2023 China Hospital and Specialty Reputation Ranking released by the Institute of Hospital management of Fudan university were selected as the research subjects.Practical information such as the definition,evaluation,financial input,and key tasks of hospital discipline construction was collected and summarized,as well as the research subjects'cognition of discipline construction.Results The practice of discipline construction shows diversity.The talent team,scientific research,support platforms,talent cultivation,social services,and discipline reputation are the main dimensions for evaluating the work of discipline construction.Talent cultivation,academic conferences,scientific research,faculty team building,talent introduction,and international exchanges and cooperation are the main uses of discipline construction funds.As an independent and important concept,discipline construction is different from department construction,and its practical work needs to be further clarified.Conclusion Discipline construction takes"positioning,platform,talent,cohort and output"as its core tasks,forming the foundation for medical institutions to carry out their work,solving overall problems,reducing repetitive construction,and avoiding medical institutions being limited to local optimality and thus unable to achieve overall optimality.

Piezo1, a mechanosensitive nonselective cation channel characterized by multiple transmembrane domains, plays a critical role intransducing mechanical stimuli at the cellular membrane and participates in various physiological and pathological processes. Recent studies have established a significant association between Piezo1 and the occurrence and development of multiple ophthalmic disorders. Substantial evidence demonstrates that Piezo1 contributes to ocular disease progression by regulating fundamental cellular processes including proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and inflammatory responses, with particular relevance to glaucoma, corneal diseases, retinal disorders, and dry eye syndrome. Piezo1 has made rapid progress in ophthalmology, and has been established as an important mechanosensor in the eye, widely involved in intraocular pressure regulation, retinal function maintenance, corneal homeostasis and repair, and ocular development, and its dysfunction is closely related to the pathological mechanisms of many important blinding eye diseases. Consequently, Piezo1 is not only a key molecule for understanding ocular mechanobiology, but also represents a highly promising therapeutic target. Its study offers new perspectives for the development of novel therapeutic strategies against ocular diseases. This review systematically summarizes current research advances regarding Piezo1 channels in ophthalmology, analyzes their mechanistic involvement in disease processes, and evaluates their potential therapeutic value, thereby offering innovative perspectives for the clinical management of ocular diseases.

OBJECTIVE: Evaluate the clinical application effect of low-field infant MRI. METHODS: Using literature review, expert consultation, and two rounds of Delphi to determine the evaluation index system. Then retrospectively analyze and compare the data of low-field infant MRI and high-field MRI from January 2023 to December 2024. RESULTS: There is a certain gap between low-field infant MRI and high-field MRI in terms of signal-to-noise ratio, image uniformity, software system reliability, scanning time, user interface friendliness and image result consistency. However, there was no difference in terms of spatial resolution and image quality. The noise, hardware system reliability, mean time between failure and the rate of examination completed without sedation are better than that of high-field MRI. CONCLUSION Low-field infant MRI meets needs of clinical diagnostic and has stable performance. It can be used as a routine screening tool for brain diseases near the bed.

Objective To propose a dynamic electrical impedance tomography imaging algorithm based on complementary information fusion network(CIFN)to enhance image quality of dynamic electrical impedance imaging.Methods There were three modules for initialization,multi-frame complementary information extraction and information fusion involved in the CIFN.Firstly,multi-frame dynamic conductivity distribution images were obtained by the initialization module;secondly,spatial complementary information was extracted from the images by using the multi-frame complementary information extraction module;finally,the fusion of lesion target distribution information and target re-reconstruction were realized by the information fusion module to aquire high-quality EIT images.With a 16-electrode multilayer cranial simulation model,the CIFN-based imaging method was compared with Tikhonov regularization algorithm,spectral constraint algorithm and U-Net algorithm in terms of imaging results of types of lesions to verify its performance.Results Compared with the Tikhonov regularization algorithm,spectral constraint algorithm and U-Net algorithm,the proposed CIFN-based algorithm exhibited the lowest mean absolute error(MAE)and the highest structural similarity(SSIM)when used to image different lesion targets,which accurately reconstructed the distribution of lesion targets and gained high imaging stability under common noise levels.Conclusion The proposed CIFN-based imaging algorithm obtains high imaging quality on a cranial simulation model and reconstruction results close to the real model distribution,which provides algorithmic support for subsequent clinical studies on electrical impedance imaging.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(6):1-6]

Lymphoma is a highly heterogeneous malignancy characterized by complex molecular regulatory mechanisms that result in significant differences in aggressiveness and prognosis across its subtypes.Gene copy number alteration(CNA)analysis,an emerging technology,has become a pivotal tool in the precision re-search and management of lymphoma.By detecting DNA deletions,amplifications,and chromosomal copy number changes,CNA analysis addresses the limitations of traditional cytogenetic techniques,enhances the ac-curacy of subtype classification,and aids in evaluating tumor heterogeneity and disease progression.This re-view provides a comprehensive summary of CNA detection methods and their applications in lymphoma,with a focus on recent advancements in the field.It offers a comparative analysis of CNA detection techniques and discusses their role in precision diagnosis,subtype classification,monitoring disease progression,predicting therapeutic resistance,and assessing prognosis.Additionally,the review explores the potential applications of CNA analysis in uncovering molecular regulatory mechanisms,optimizing therapeutic strategies,and impro-ving patient survival outcomes.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy,safety,and prognostic factors associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors(ICIs)in pa-tients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)comorbid with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).Methods:Clinical and patholo-gical data were collected from 100 patients with stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ NSCLC who received one or more cycles of ICI treatment at Peking University Shougang Hospital between January 2018 and October 2024 were collected.Based on COPD diagnosis,patients were assigned into the NSCLC with COPD(LC-COPD,n=52)and NSCLC without COPD(non-COPD,n=48)groups.The efficacy,safety,and prognostic factors of ICIs treatment were retrospectively analyzed in both groups.Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method,and survival rates were compared using the Log-rank test.Results:Among the patients who received ICIs treatment,median progression-free survival(PFS)in the LC-COPD group was longer than that in the non-COPD group(11.97 vs.7.83 months,P=0.022),but no significant difference was detec-ted in overall survival(OS)(22.37 vs.16.80 months,P=0.110).Compared with the LC-COPD group and patients with normal lung function,the preserved ratio impaired spirometry(PRISm)subgroup showed worse median PFS and OS following immunotherapy(all P<0.05).Multivari-ate analysis revealed that COPD comorbidity,programmed cell death-ligand 1(PD-L1)expression,treatment line,and neutrophil to lympho-cyte ratio(NLR)were independently associated with PFS(P<0.05).Additionally,PD-L1 expression,immunotherapy efficacy,NLR,and inhaled corticosteroids(ICS)use were significantly associated with OS(P<0.05).The incidence of immune-related adverse events was comparable between the two groups.Conclusions:ICI treatment demonstrated a greater positive impact on PFS in patients with NSCLC and COPD than in patients with NSCLC alone in a real-world study,with a good safety profile in both groups.NSCLC patients with PRISm showed poorer out-comes following ICI treatment.PD-L1 expression,FeNO,NLR,and ICS may serve as potential predictive biomarkers for immunotherapy effic-acy in NSCLC patients with COPD.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Yiqi Tongluo Decoction in the intervention of early traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes after ischemic cerebrovascular disease (ICVD) intervention. Methods: From October 2020 to July 2023, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted to include 60 patients with qi deficiency, blood stasis, and phlegm obstruction syndrome after ICVD interventional therapy. They were assigned to the Yiqi Tongluo Decoction treatment group (30 cases) and the TCM placebo routine treatment control group (30 cases) according to the randomized block design. Both groups received routine standardized treatment of Western medicine, including dual antiplatelet, lipid regulation, and control of risk factors for cerebrovascular disease. The treatment group was treated with Yiqi Tongluo Decoction based on the control group. The course of treatment was 60 days and follow-up was carried out 2 and 6 months after the operation. The improvement of qi deficiency syndrome, blood stasis syndrome, phlegm syndrome score and TCM syndrome score, modified Rankin score (mRS), Barthel index (BI) score, Fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4) level, incidence of transient ischemic attack (TIA) and ischemic stroke (IS) and incidence of adverse reactions, Head and neck CT angiography (CTA) or digital subtraction angiography (DSA) examination were collected. The clinical efficacy of the patients 2 months after the operation was taken as the main outcome index to preliminarily evaluate the early and long-term efficacy of Yiqi Tongluo Decoction after the ICVD intervention. The early and long-term clinical efficacy and safety of Western medicine standardized treatment combined with TCM Yiqi Tongluo Decoction on patients with qi deficiency, blood stasis and phlegm obstruction syndrome after ICVD intervention were evaluated. The safety of Yiqi Tongluo Decoction in the treatment of patients after ICVD intervention with white blood cell (WBC), C-reactive protein (CRP), fibrinogen (FIB), plasminogen time (PT), recurrence of cerebral ischaemia and restenosis in patients at 2 and 6 months after treatment were evaluated. Results: Compared to the control group, the TCM syndrome scores for qi deficiency, blood stasis and phlegm syndrome in the treatment group reduced significantly, the clinical efficacy improved significantly, the mRS score and FABP4 were reduced, and the BI score was increased. Adverse events such as cerebral ischaemia were fewer in the treatment group than in the control group, but the difference was not statistically significant; levels of CRP, WBC and PT were reduced, and levels of FIB were reduced at 6 months post-treatment, all P<0.01, and images were intuitively compared. The treatment group was superior to the control group. Conclusion Yiqi Tongluo Decoction combined with Western medicine standard treatment can improve the early clinical efficacy of ICVD patients with qi deficiency, blood stasis and phlegm obstruction syndrome after interventional surgery, improve neurological impairment and daily living ability, reduce the state of qi deficiency syndrome, blood stasis syndrome and phlegm syndrome after interventional surgery, and improve the clinical efficacy of TCM. At the same time, it can reduce the level of FABP4, the target of atherosclerosis and restenosis after interventional surgery, reduce the level of inflammation after interventional surgery in patients with ICVD, regulate coagulation function, and reduce the incidence of long-term recurrence of cerebral ischemia after interventional surgery, with good safety.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a well-accepted therapy for atopic dermatitis (AD). However, there are currently no evidence-based guidelines integrating TCM and Western medicine for the treatment of AD, limiting the clinical application of such combined approaches. Therefore, the China Association of Chinese Medicine initiated the development of the current guideline, focusing on key issues related to the use of TCM in the treatment of AD. This guideline was developed in accordance with the principles of the guideline formulation manual published by the World Health Organization. A comprehensive review of the literature on the combined use of TCM and Western medicine to treat AD was conducted. The findings were extensively discussed by experts in dermatology and pharmacy with expertise in both TCM and Western medicine. This guideline comprises 23 recommendations across seven major areas, including TCM syndrome differentiation and classification of AD, principles and application scenarios of TCM combined with Western medicine for treating AD, outcome indicators for evaluating clinical efficacy of AD treatment, integration of TCM pattern classification and Western medicine across disease stages, daily management of AD, the use of internal TCM therapies and proprietary Chinese medicines, and TCM external treatments.
