Clinical practice guidelines represent the best recommendations for patient care. They are developed through systematically reviewing currently available clinical evidence and weighing the relative benefits and risks of various interventions. However, clinical practice guidelines have to go through a long translation cycle from development and revision to clinical promotion and application, facing problems such as scattered distribution, high duplication rate, and low actual utilization. At present, the clinical practice guideline information platform can directly or indirectly solve the problems related to the lengthy revision cycles, decentralized dissemination and limited application of clinical practice guidelines. Therefore, this paper systematically examines different types of clinical practice guideline information platforms and investigates their corresponding challenges and emerging trends in platform design, data integration, and practical implementation, with the aim of clarifying the current status of this field and providing valuable reference for future research on clinical practice guideline information platforms.

This paper summarizes Professor AI Rudi's experience in the diagnosis and treatment of skin pruritus based on the "unity of restoring form, regulating qi, and harmonizing spirit", employing internal herbal medicine combined with external treatments. It is believed that the core pathogenesis of pruritus is the "imbalance of form, qi, and spirit", with disturbed spirit as the onset, disordered qi as the key pathogenic factor, and physical changes as the manifestation of the disease. The treatment principle follows "restoring form-regulating qi-harmonizing spirit", with a combination of internal and external therapies, and differentiation based on deficiency and excess. For excess conditions caused by pathogenic disturbances to the heart spirit, treatment is based on different patterns of wind-heat, damp-heat, and blood-heat, using Sangye (Morus alba)-Sangbaipi (Morus alba cortex)-Longchi (Draconis os) to disperse wind and clear heat, calm the spirit; Difuzi (Kochia scoparia)-Qinghao (Artemisia annua)-Tanxiang (Santalum album) to clear damp-heat and aromatically open the spirit; Mudanpi (Paeonia suffruticosa)-Chuanxiong (Ligusticum chuanxiong)-Shuiniujiao (Bubalus bubalis cornua) to cool the blood, activate circulation, and calm the spirit. For deficiency conditions caused by insufficient nourishment of the heart spirit, treatment is based on patterns of qi deficiency or blood deficiency, using Huangqi (Astragalus membranaceus)-Fuping (Lemna minor)-Wuweizi (Schisandra chinensis) to tonify the qi and stabilize the exterior; Heshouwu (Polygonum multiflorum)-Jili (Tribulus terrestris)-Shouwuteng (Polygonum multiflorum vine) to nourish the blood, moisten dryness, and calm the spirit. External treatments integrate traditional Chinese medicine therapies such as medicinal baths, gua sha, and ear acupuncture, with custom herbal wash formulas for restoring form, jojoba oil gua sha for regulating qi, and ear seed therapy using Wangbuliuxing (Vaccaria segetalis) for harmonizing the spirit, achieving a holistic treatment effect for form, qi, and spirit.

Objective:
To investigate the association of parental knowledge and skills in myopia prevention and control with healthy eye behavior in primary school children, so as to provide a basis for accurate family education.
Methods:
A total of 4 979 students in grades 1-5 from eight elementary schools in Pudong New Area were sampled between October and December in 2022 by using a stratified cluster sampling method. A self administered questionnaire was used to assess healthy eye behavior in primary school children and parental knowledge and skills in myopia prevention and control. The Chi squared test, independent samples t-test and Logistic regression were used to analyse the association between parental knowledge and skills in myopia prevention and control and healthy eye behaviour in primary school children.
Results:
Parents of primary school children with a high level of knowledge and skills in myopia prevention and control were 50.97% and 56.36%, respectively. The knowlegde entry scores for parents of lower and middle elementary school students were higher than those of parents of upper primary students with respect to their understanding, on the main causes of myopia in their children, the correct knowledge of myopia prevention and control, the role of family members in helping each other to manage and treat myopia in their children and the parents responsibility to teach their children to use their eyes correctly and scientifically (3.05±1.21, 2.97±1.20; 5.92±0.68, 5.83±0.86; 4.46±0.88, 4.40±0.93; 3.88±1.04, 3.72±1.07); all differences were statistically significant (t=2.04, 3.39, 2.00, 4.87, P<0.05). The differences in the scores of parents of primary school children in different grades for all items were statistically significant (t=2.93-7.31, P<0.05) in the skill entries. Parental knowledge levels were poor for items of full scores that assessed the following: knowing the main causes of their childrens myopia, awareness of the correct knowledge of myopia prevention and control measures, awareness of Comprehensive Prevention and Control Strategy for Children and Adolescents with Myopia, and concerning that their childrens future education and employment will be affected by myopia, understanding the responsibility of parents for guiding children to use their eyes scientifically and correctly, with 12.71%, 22.90%, 19.30%, 21.83% and 22.47% respectively. Parental skills were poor for items of full scores that assessed the following:reminding their children to rest their eyes when doing homework, reading or writing, deliberately avoiding mobile phone use when spending time with their children, the number of times which taking children to the hospital for refractive screening in the past year, and giving their children extra learning tasks, with 33.26%, 15.12%, 9.00% and 5.36% respectively. Compared to parental knowledge in myopia prevention and control, parental skills had a more pronounced effect on the four dimensions of healthy eye behavior (reading and writing, screen time, outdoor activities, and sleep duration) among students in different grades (OR=1.41-3.37, P<0.05).
Conclusions
Parental knowledge and skills in myopia prevention and control are still insafficient, associated with healthy eye behavior in primary school children. There is a need to strengthen accurate health education for parents on the prevention and control of myopia, to cultivate healthy eye behaviour among primary school students and reduce the incidence of myopia among them.
