This paper systematically reviewed the concept of authentication studies on traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） classics and the research achievements of scholars across historical and contemporary periods. We categorized the authentication studies on TCM classics into four types， including work-oriented authentication research， metho-dological studies on authentication， extended authentication research， and single-book authentication. Multiple methods were applied comprehensively， including investigating bibliographic documents of successive dynasties， analyzing the academic contents of medical books， studying the textual characteristics of medical books， examining the cited references in medical books， verifying the biographies of authors， and analyzing the interpolations and accretions in medical books， to distinguish the authenticity of TCM classics. The academic value of authenticity identification of TCM classics is concluded in three aspects，i.e. it serves as an important means to distinguish authenticity from falsehood in TCM classics， an important guarantee for inheriting the essence of TCM literature， and a key to unlocking the academic treasure trove of TCM classics and achieving inheritance-based innovation， which will lay a solid documentary foundation for constructing identification methodologies and standardized systems.

Objective:To explore the effect of Swanson theory combined with hand touch on the existential distress of patients with advanced lung cancer, in order to provide reference for clinical humanistic care.Methods:A non synchronous controlled study was conducted using convenience sampling to select advanced lung cancer patients admitted to the Oncology Department of the First People's Hospital of Yongkang City, Zhejiang Province from October 2023 to March 2024 as the control group, and advanced lung cancer patients admitted from April to October 2024 as the experimental group. The control group received routine care, while the experimental group received Swanson theory combined with hand touch intervention on the basis of routine care. The Existential Distress Scale (EDS) and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy- General (FACT-G) scores of the two groups were compared before and 2 weeks after intervention.Results:During the study period, there were 3 dropouts in the experimental group and 2 dropouts in the control group. Finally, 37 cases were included in the experimental group, including 16 males and 21 females, with an age of (62.35 ± 12.13) years. There were 38 cases in the control group, including 25 males and 13 females, with an age of (65.68 ± 13.46) years. After 2 weeks of intervention, the EDS score of the experimental group patients was (6.65 ± 2.89) points, while that of the control group was (8.16 ± 2.27) points. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t = 2.52, P<0.05). After intervention, the social/family status dimension, emotional status dimension, and total score of FACT-G in the experimental group were (15.35 ± 4.18), (19.27 ± 3.54), and (57.46 ± 14.69) points, respectively, which were better than the control group's (13.08 ± 3.77), (16.53 ± 3.88), and (50.58 ± 11.86) points. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t = - 2.47, - 3.20, - 2.24, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The combination of Swanson theory and hand touch can effectively reduce the existential distress of patients with advanced lung cancer, improve their quality of life, and embody the concept of nursing humanistic care into simple and safe intervention measures, providing reference for clinical humanistic care.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of fluoroscopically-guided percutaneous gastrostomy (FGPG) for establishing enteral nutrition access in the treatment of esophageal fistula after radiotherapy for cervical esophageal cancer (CEC).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 54 patients who underwent FGPG due to esophageal fistula after radiotherapy for CEC at our department from November 2009 to August 2019. All patients received endoscopy before radiotherapy, and CEC was pathologically confirmed. Enteral nutrition support was offered through a gastrostomy tube postoperatively. The success rate of FGPG, complications, and healing of perforation were recorded and analyzed.Results:FGPG was successfully performed in all 54 patients (100%). During the 12-month follow-up, 50 patients (92.6) survived while four (7.4%) died. Among 36 patients with esophagomediastinal fistula, 32 (88.9%) healed in a median of 12 weeks; of 18 patients with esophagotracheal fistula, 8 (44.4%) healed in a median of 18 weeks. Thus, patients with esophagomediastinal fistula had a significantly higher healing rate ( P<0.01) and shorter healing time ( P=0.017). Gastrostomy tube-related complications were minimal, and no serious complication was noted. Conclusions:FGPG is effective for the treatment of esophageal fistula after CEC radiotherapy and may be an alternative treatment for esophageal fistula.

Objective:To design a novel model for experiments on in vitro irradiation with radioactive seeds using a treatment planning system (TPS) and 3D printing technology and to preliminarily validate the design scientific rigor of the model via experiments on isodose brachytherapy (BT) and external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) on glioma cells in mice. Methods:The TPS was employed to design the model′s shape and calculate the number and positions of radioactive seeds, and 3D printing technology was utilized to fabricate the experimental model. The GL261 cell line was selected for in vitro irradiation experiments, with the mice divided into the control, EBRT, and BT groups. Mice in the EBRT and BT groups were treated with EBRT and BT, respectively, at doses of 2, 4, and 6 Gy. Then, changes in their cell viability, proliferation, and the level of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) were assessed. Results:The model for in vitro irradiation with radioactive seeds was successfully designed and fabricated. The single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) verified a uniform radioactive distribution within the model, with no significant cold spots. The BT and EBRT groups displayed decreased cell viability with an increase in the radiation dose. Compared to the EBRT group, the BT group exhibited significantly reduced cell viability (51.33% vs. 22.00%, t = 10.94, P < 0.05) and clone counts (172.67 ± 13.11 vs. 53.67 ± 10.22, t = 8.73, P < 0.05), but a significantly increased level of ROS (102.52 ± 6.87 vs. 144.81 ± 6.01, t = -5.26, P < 0.05) at a dose of 6 Gy. Conclusions:An effective model of in vitro irradiation with radioactive seeds is designed based on TPS and 3D printing technology. This provides an experimental model tool and target for research on the BT and EBRT mechanisms.

Objective:To employ single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/CT for isodose assignment in 125I brachytherapy, assess the correlation between photon counts and dose values, and develop a clinical γ-ray visualization model for 125I brachytherapy. Methods:125I radioactive seeds were filled into a self-made 3D printed stereotactic template to build a stereotactic model. The model was scanned by SPECT/CT for photon counts at 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 cm from the outermost peripheral seeds, and the corresponding dose values were measured using the Treatment Planning System (TPS). The fitting curve for the photon counts and the dose values was plotted using SPSS 27.0 software. Results:The photon counts of γ rays at distances of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 cm from the peripheral particles were 7 603.57±1 806.35, 4 018.26±1 315.72, 2 074.04±791.53, and 1 080.34±424.79, respectively, showing a significant difference ( F=743.72, P<0.01). The dose values (in Gy) in the TPS at distances of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 cm from the peripheral particles were 208.05±37.57, 125.43±17.74, 86.76±17.67, and 61.55±14.39, respectively, which were significantly different ( F=930.46, P<0.01). The photon counts were linearly correlated with the dose values ( y=0.02 x+ 46.45, R2=81.2%, P<0.01). Conclusions:SPECT/CT-based γ-ray photon count detection can be used to assign doses for 125I brachytherapy, enabling the visualization of γ rays in 125I brachytherapy. This approach has a distinct advantage over TPS, laying the foundation for the establishment of an alternative system to TPS.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics,diagnosis and treatment of ileal injury secondary to percutaneous nephrolithotomy percutaneous nephrolithotomy(PCNL).Methods The diagnosis and treatment of a patient were reviewed,and relevant literature were retrieved.Results The patient was a 41-year-old male,who underwent stage PCNL(initial percutaneous nephrostomy,followed by secondary PCNL)due to right ureteral calculi with severe hydronephrosis.On postoperative day 1,he developed abdominal distension and pain.Abdominal X-ray revealed subdiaphragmatic free gas,and CT showed pelvic and abdominal fluid and gas accumulation,suggesting peritonitis due to intestinal perforation.Emergency exploratory laparotomy identified a 3 mm×3 mm ileal perforation approximately 30 cm from the ileocecal valve,which was repaired surgically.The patient recovered well and was discharged after one week,with no discomfort reported during a 6-month follow-up.Conclusion The clinical features of ileal injury secondary to PCNL include early postoperative abdominal distension,pain and peritonitis.Diagnosis relies on clinical manifestations,abdominal X-ray and CT,with surgical exploration if necessary.Conservative management under vigilant observation can be cautiously adopted for localized injuries,while surgical repair is required for peritonitis or failed conservative therapy.

Objective:In alignment with the practical teaching objectives of Diseases of the Locomotor System and the competency requirements for graduates of military medical universities, this study conducted a multidimensional modification of the traditional objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) to provide a novel training mode that enhances the effectiveness of practical teaching of this course.Methods:The traditional OSCE was modified from the four dimensions of integration, individuality, immersion, and intelligence. The first three stations were set as "diagnosis" and the last three stations were set as "operation" to reflect the "integration" of diagnosis and treatment. The last station of "operation" was set as "medical cares of combat and training injuries" to reflect "individuality" of military medical training. The method of situation creation was used to reflect "immersion", and the application of intelligent terminals reflected "intelligence". The study involved 50 trainees who were assigned to either a modified OSCE group or a traditional teaching group through a random drawing process. The teaching effectiveness was assessed through evaluation of theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and participant satisfaction. The statistical analysis was conducted by SPSS 22.0, with parametric data assessed by t-tests and non-parametric data assessed by chi-square tests. Results:Before entering the department, there were no statistically significant differences in theoretical ( P=0.832) and practical ( P=0.513) scores between the two groups of trainees. However, after the internship, the modified OSCE group demonstrated significantly enhanced scores compared to the traditional teaching group, both in theory assessment [(93.88±1.92) vs. (90.76±2.85), P=0.001] and skill assessment [(94.32±1.25) vs. (91.68±2.82), P=0.001]. Additionally, the self-assessment of clinical capability improvement by the modified OSCE group was markedly higher across all dimensions than the traditional teaching group ( P=0.001). Furthermore, the evaluation conducted by basic combat unit on the job competency of graduated trainees indicated that the modified OSCE group outperformed the traditional teaching group in basic clinical diagnosis and treatment [(4.72±0.46) vs. (3.44±0.71), P=0.001], emergency management of combat and training injuries [(4.72±0.46) vs. (3.52±0.71), P=0.001], application of information technology [(4.44±0.71) vs. (3.91±0.80), P=0.029], basic military qualities [(4.40±0.71) vs. (3.92±0.91), P=0.043], mental health and resilience [(4.36±0.70) vs. (3.68±0.85), P=0.003], and the capacity for continuous learning [(4.64±0.70) vs. (3.83±0.76), P=0.001]. Conclusions:The modified OSCE teaching mode can better meet the practical teaching requirements for Diseases of the Locomotor System in the military medical university and thus holds promise for further application.

Objective:To observe the correlation between the level of advanced glycosylation end products (AGE) in skin and diabetic retinopathy (DR), and establish and preliminatively verify the nomogramolumbaric model for predicting the risk of DR.Methods:A clinical case-control study. A total of 346 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who were admitted to the Department of Endocrinology and Ophthalmology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2023 to June 2024 were included in the study. Among them, 198 were males and 148 were females. The mean age was (54.77±10.92). According to whether the patients were accompanied by DR, the patients were divided into the non-DR group (NDR group) and the DR group (DR group), 174 and 172 cases, respectively. All patients underwent skin AGE detection using a noninvasive diabetes detector. Diabetes duration, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose, Urea, creatinine (Crea), uric acid, total cholesterol, triglyceride, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), urinary albumin concentration (UALB), and body mass index (BMI) were collected in detail. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to determine the independent risk factors for T2DM concurrent DR, and to construct a nomogram prediction model for DR risk. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve), calibration curve and decision curve (DCA) were used to evaluate the model.Results:Hypertension prevalence rate ( χ2=3.892), Diabetes duration ( Z=?7.708), BMI ( Z=?2.627), HbA1c ( Z=?4.484), Urea ( Z=?4.620), Crea ( Z=?3.526), UALB ( Z=?6.999), AGE ( Z=?8.097) in DR group were significantly higher than those in NDR group, with statistical significance ( P<0.05); eGFR was lower than that in NDR group, the difference was statistically significant ( Z=?6.061, P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that AGE, diabetes duration, HbA1c, UALB and eGFR were independent risk factors for DR ( P<0.05). Based on the results of multi-factor regression analysis, a nomogram prediction model was constructed. The area under ROC curve of the model was 0.843, 95% confidence interval was 0.802-0.884, sensitivity and specificity were 79.1% and 75.9%, respectively. The calibration curve was basically consistent with the ideal curve. The results of DCA analysis showed that when the model predicted the risk threshold of patients with DR between 0.17 and 0.99, the clinical net benefit provided by the nomogram model was> 0. Conclusions:Skin AGE level is an independent risk factor for DR. The nomogram prediction model based on AGE, diabetes duration, HbA1c, eGFR and UALB can accurately predict the risk of DR, and has good clinical practicability.

Objective:To investigate the effect of phosphorus-containing replacement solution for the prevention and treatment of hypophosphatemia during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in critically ill patients with blood phosphorus level ≤1.45 mmol/L, and to provide clinical reference.Methods:It was a historical prospective cohort study. The critically ill patients receiving CRRT with blood phosphorus ≤ 1.45 mmol/L in the intensive care unit of Henan Provincial People's Hospital from October 2021 to January 2023 and from April 2023 to January 2024 was selected as the study subjects. The patients were divided into test group (from April 2023 to January 2024) and control group (from October 2021 to January 2023) according to whether phosphate (1.0 mmol/L) was added to the replacement solution during CRRT, and the differences of clinical data before and after CRRT between the two groups were compared. The patients were divided into hypophosphatemia group and non-hypophosphatemia group according to whether blood phosphorus < 0.81 mmol/L within 24 h after the end of CRRT, and the differences of clinical data between the two groups were compared. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the related factors of hypophosphatemia.Results:A total of 149 critically ill patients with blood phosphorus level ≤1.45 mmol/L undergoing CRRT were enrolled in the study, with age of 64(47, 75) years and 87 males (58.4%). Among 149 patients, 84(56.4%) had hypophosphatemia after CRRT, and no hyperphosphatemia occurred. The incidence of hypophosphatemia in test group and control group was 40.0% (30/75) and 73.0% (54/74), respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in baseline clinical data before CRRT between test group and control group (all P>0.05). C-reactive protein ( Z=-3.356, P=0.001), blood calcium ( Z=-3.835, P<0.001) and proportion of hypophosphatemia ( χ2=16.467, P<0.001) in the test group were lower than those in the control group, and blood phosphorus ( Z=3.886, P<0.001) in the test group was higher than that in the control group within 24 h after CRRT. Compared with non-hypophosphatemia group, the proportion of parenteral nutrition ( χ2=6.802, P=0.009) and blood calcium within 24 h after CRRT ( Z=-2.515, P=0.012) in the hypophosphatemia group were higher, and blood phosphorus within 24 h after CRRT ( Z=-10.451, P<0.001), blood phosphorus after 24 h after CRRT treatment ( Z=-5.331, P<0.001) and the proportion of applied replacement solution containing phosphorus ( χ2=16.467, P<0.001) in the hypophosphatemia group were lower. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that parenteral nutrition ( OR=2.521, 95% CI 1.228-5.175, P=0.012) and application of phosphorus- containing replacement solution ( OR=0.241, 95% CI 0.119-0.491, P<0.001) were independent relevant factors of hypophosphatemia after CRRT in the whole cohort of patients. Conclusions:The application of phosphorus-containing replacement solution in critically ill patients with blood phosphorus level ≤1.45 mmol/L undergoing CRRT is safe and effective, and the incidence of hypophosphatemia is low. Application of phosphorus-containing replacement solution in critically ill patients with blood phosphorus level ≤1.45 mmol/L undergoing CRRT can reduce the incidence risk of hypophosphatemia after CRRT.
