The theory of constitution in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has emerged as a new discipline in recent years. Constitution plays a vital role in the onset，progression，transformation，and prognosis of diseases. At present，some clinical scholars have adopted a novel diagnostic and treatment model of "constitution differentiation-disease identification-syndrome differentiation"，in which constitution is regarded as a core element throughout the diagnostic and therapeutic process. Constitution is closely associated with etiology，onset，pathogenesis，syndrome differentiation，and treatment. Against this background，the construction of animal models based on constitution holds far-reaching significance for advancing clinical research. This paper focuses on the construction and evaluation of rodent models with Qi-deficiency constitution，aiming to explore how to further induce Qi-deficiency syndromes and related disease states on the basis of Qi-deficiency constitution models，thereby developing an integrated animal model that embodies the trinity of "constitution-disease-syndrome". The establishment of this model not only provides a solid experimental foundation for the development of new therapies and drugs in TCM targeting specific constitutions，diseases，and syndromes，but also greatly promotes the modernization and scientific advancement of TCM theory. By comprehensively applying multidisciplinary technologies and methods，the study evaluates the model's validity，reliability，and practicality，with the aim of opening new avenues for future research in TCM and promoting the development of the field.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of neuroendoscope-assisted evacuation and navigation-assisted puncture drainage in treating thalamic hemorrhage breaking into the ventricle. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 93 patients with thalamic hemorrhage breaking into the ventricle at Taihe Hospital of Wannan Medical College between January 2022 and February 2024. The patients received neuroendoscope-assisted removal of thalamic hematoma combined with contralateral extraventricular drainage (n＝44, neuroendoscope group) and navigation-assisted thalamic hematoma puncture drainage combined with contralateral extraventricular drainage (n＝49, navigation group), respectively. The treatment efficacy, surgical situation, and prognosis between the two groups were compared. Results The neuroendoscope group had longer operation duration, more intraoperative blood loss, higher hospitalization costs than the navigation group (P＜0.05). The neuroendoscope group had higher hematoma clearance rate 3rd after surgery and shorter length of stay than the navigation group (P＜0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of intracranial infection after surgery between the two groups. The neuroendoscope group had higher Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score at 1 week after surgery and Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) score at 3 months after surgery (P＜0.01). Conclusions Compared with navigation-assisted puncture, neuroendoscope-assisted evacuation can improve the thalamic hemorrhage clearance rate, shorten the length of stay, and improve the prognosis of patients.

Objective This study aims to investigate the work fatigue risks of clinical nursing staff in a tertiary hospital in Xingguo County and analyze the influencing factors,providing a reference for formulating scientific work processes and systems and improving nursing quality.Methods A convenience sampling was conducted to select 179 clinical nurses from a tertiary hos-pital in Xingguo County from March to April 2025.A self-designed general information questionnaire,a clinical nursing staff work fatigue risk assessment questionnaire,and the nurse work stressor scale were used for the investigation.Univariate and multiple linear regression analyses were conducted to identify the influencing factors of work fatigue risks.Results A total of 186 ques-tionnaires were distributed,with 7 excluded as invalid and 179 valid responses(96.24％).The work fatigue risk assessment score of the 179 clinical nurses was(84.39±10.26),indicating a relatively high level of fatigue.There were significant differ-ences in work fatigue risk scores across genders,weekly working hours,years of work experience,contract types,and work stress levels(P＜0.05).Multiple linear regression analysis showed that gender(B=0.624,95％CI=0.194～1.054),weekly work-ing hours(B=0.037,95％CI=0.067～0.007),years of work experience(B=0.028,95％CI=0.010～0.046),contract type(B=-0.517,95％CI=-0.997～-0.037),and work stress(B=0.127,95％CI=0.050～0.204)were the influen-cing factors of work fatigue risks(P＜0.05).Conclusion The work fatigue risks of clinical nursing staff in a tertiary hospital in Xingguo County are at a relatively high level.Gender,weekly working hours,years of work experience,contract type,and work stress are the main influencing factors.Nursing managers should pay attention to these factors and take targeted measures to inter-vene and reduce the work fatigue risks of nursing staff.

Objectives:This study aims to explore the impact of new-onset heart conduction block post transcatheter aortic valve replacement(TAVR)on the cardiac conduction status during 1-year follow-up.Methods:A total of 130 patients who completed TAVR surgery at Fuwai Central-China Cardiovascular Hospital from July 2019 to October 2022 were screened.Among them,56 cases with postoperative heart conduction block were selected for analysis.According to the degree of heart block,patients were divided into mild block group(n=36),moderate block group(n=9),and severe block group(n=11).The clinical characteristics and cardiac conduction conditions at 1-year follow-up between different groups were compared.Results:During a mean(8.5±4.1)months follow-up period,10(17.9%)patients had long-term atrioventricular conduction block,and 46(82.1%)patients had partial or complete recovery of heart block,with 28(50.0%)patients with completely recovered cardiac conduction.In the mild block group,22(61.1%)cases were completely recovered,9(25.0%)patients partly recovered,and 5(13.9%)cases uncovered.In the moderate block group,2(22.2%)cases were completely recovered,5(55.6%)patients partly recovered,and 2(22.2%)cases uncovered.Difference in long-term atrioventricular conduction block among three groups was statistically significant(P<0.001).The Kaplan-Meier curve shows that patients with moderate to severe heart block have a higher rate of long-term atrioventricular conduction block(86.1%vs.77.8%vs.72.7%,log-rank P=0.03).Cox multivariate analysis exhibited that old age(≥75 years old,HR=1.204,95%CI:1.051-1.525,P=0.041)and severe heart conduction block(HR=1.106,95%CI:1.100-1.616,P=0.031)are the two independent risk factors for long-term atrioventricular conduction block post TAVR.Conclusions:The ratio of complete cardiac conduction recovery post TAVR is 50.0%.Older age(≥75 year)and new-onset severe heart conduction block are independent risk factors for long-term atrioventricular conduction block post TAVR procedure.

Purpose To investigate the clinicopathological features,diagnosis,differential diagnosis,immuno-phenotype,and prognosis of ovarian mature cystic teratoma(MCT)with an associated mucinous tumor(MT).Meth-ods Clinicopathological and follow-up data from 14 cases of MCT with MT were retrospectively analyzed and supple-mented with a literature review.Results 14 patients' ages ranged from 21-70 years,with a median age of 33 years.Tumors were located in the left ovary(4 cases),right ovary(9 cases),or bilaterally(1 case).The tumors,cystic or cyst-solid,measured 6.0-24.0 cm in maximum diameter(mean:11.7±5.7 cm).Histologically,the MT compo-nents were classified as mucinous cystadenoma(MCA)in 9 cases,borderline mucinous cystadenoma(MBT)in 4 ca-ses,and mucinous adenocarcinoma(MAC)in 1 case.Microscopically,MCT elements from multiple germ layers were identified in 13 cases,with one case showing only mature thyroid tissue.The mucinous epithelium in MCA showed no significant atypia.Mucinous epithelial proliferation accounted＞10％in MBT.MAC demonstrated moderate-to-severe atypia and invasive growth.Immunohistochemically,the MT epithelium was frequently positive for CK7(6/7),CK20(4/5),CDX2(5/6),Villin(4/4),SATB2(3/3),MUC2(2/3),MUC5AC(2/2),MUC6(1/1),and PAX-8(2/7),while negative for ER(6/6),PR(5/5),and WT-1(5/5).The Ki-67 proliferation index was low(＜5％)in 6 cases and high(50％)in one case.During a follow-up of 9-110 months,patients with MCT associated with MCA or MBT were alive without recurrence.The patient with MCT and MAC experienced recurrence 34 months after surgery.Conclusion Ovarian MCT with MT is rare and lacks specific clinical manifestations.Pathological examina-tion combined with immunophenotyping is essential for accurate diagnosis and classification.

Objective To observe the efficacy of Venovo venous stent for treating post-thrombotic syndrome(PTS)after lower extremity deep venous thrombosis(DVT).Methods A total of 61 patients with PTS after lower extremioty DVT who underwent iliac vein stent implantation were retrospectively enrolled,including 33 cases underwent Venovo stent(Venovo stent group)and 28 cases underwent conventional stent implantation(conventional stent group).The technical success rates and perioperative complications,Villalta score and venous clinical severity score(VCSS)before and 6 and 12 months after treatment,as well as the primary stent patency were compared within and between groups.Results The technical success rate was 100%in both groups,and no significant difference of the incidence of perioperative complications was found between groups(P=0.187).There was no significant difference of Villalta score nor VCSS between groups before treatment(both P＞0.05),while significant decrease of Villalta score was noticed before and 6 or 12 months after treatment within both groups(all P＜0.05).No significant difference of Villalta score nor VCSS was found 6 months after treatment between groups(both P＞0.05),while significant difference of Villalta score and VCSS were observed in Venovo stent group compared with those in conventional stent group 12 months after treatment(both P＜0.05).No significant difference of primary stent patency rate was found between groups 6 and 12 months after treatment(both P＞0.05).Conclusion Venovo venous stent could be used to effectively treat PTS after lower extremity DVT.

Objective To investigate the factors influencing the persistence of residual low back pain following percutaneous vertebroplasty(PVP)in patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures(OVF),in order to provide a scientific basis for clinical intervention strategies.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on data from 1 120 patients diagnosed with OVF who received PVP treatment between July 2020 and June 2025.Among them,61 patients who experienced residual low back pain in the early postoperative period(defined as 2 days to 1 month after surgery)with a postoperative visual analog scale(VAS)score greater than 3 points were selected as the observation group.An additional 61 control subjects were matched to the observation group at a 1∶1 ratio based on age(±5 years),gender,and preoperative bone mineral density(±0.5 standard deviation).Univariate and logistic regression analyses were subsequently performed to evaluate potential influencing factors.Results Univariate analysis revealed statistically significant differences between the two groups with respect to preoperative thoracolumbar fascia injury(TFI),MRI-detected liquefaction signals in the affected vertebrae,the number of involved vertebrae(≥2),and suboptimal bone cement distribution(P<0.05).Multivariate regression analysis confirmed that these factors were independent risk factors,with corresponding odds ratios(ORs)of 5.378,6.111,3.245,and 2.890(all P<0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of the predictive model was 0.929,indicating a high level of predictive accuracy.Conclusion Preoperative TFI,MRI-demonstrated liquefaction signals in the affected vertebrae,the presence of multiple responsible vertebrae,and suboptimal bone cement distribution may contribute to an increased risk of early residual low back pain following PVP.

Objective: To explore the comorbidity and associated factors of dental caries and overweight/obesity among primary and secondary school students in Guangxi, so as to provide a scientific basis for the development of targeted prevention strategies. Methods: A stratified cluster random sampling method was used to survey 178 700 students from the fourth grade of primary school to the third year of high school in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from September to November 2023, including physical examination, oral screening, and questionnaire survey. Chisquare tests and binary Logistic regression analysis were employed to investigate the related factors of the cooccurrence of dental caries and overweight/obesity among students. Results: The comorbidity rate of dental caries and overweight/obesity was 9.55%, with urban areas (9.95%) higher than rural counties (9.24%), boys (10.54%) higher than girls (8.54%), primary school students (11.49%) higher than senior high school students (8.92%) and junior high school students (8.05%), and nonboarding students (11.44%) higher than boarding students (7.94%), and all differences were statistically significant (χ2=26.07, 207.91, 471.54, 629.14,P<0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that consuming cereal for breakfast (OR=0.91, 95%CI=0.88-0.94), drinking milk in the past week (OR=0.89, 95%CI=0.83-0.95), meeting sleep standards (OR=0.95, 95%CI=0.91-0.99), and brushing teeth at least once a day (OR=0.82, 95%CI=0.73-0.93) had a lower risk of the comorbidity of dental caries and overweight/obesity. In contrast, drinking beverages in the past week (OR=1.14, 95%CI=1.09-1.20), consuming fried foods in the past week (OR=1.11, 95%CI=1.06-1.17), eating fruit ≥1 time every day (OR=1.06, 95%CI=1.02-1.11), consuming fruit ≥1 type every day (OR=1.07, 95%CI=1.01-1.12), and having fish, poultry, meat, or eggbased breakfasts (OR=1.03, 95%CI=1.05-1.13) had a higher risk of the comorbidity of dental caries and overweight/obesity (P<0.05). Conclusions Dietary habits and lifestyle behaviors are associated with the comorbidity of dental caries and overweight/obesity among primary and secondary school students in Guangxi. Guiding students to form healthy living habits is helpful to preven dental caries and overweight/obesity.

Objective:To identify and validate secreted effector proteins of Chlamydia psittaci ( C. psittaci) through bioinformatic prediction and experimental verification, and to characterize their subcellular localization in host cells. Methods:Potential effector proteins were predicted using bioinformatics tools. Candidate effectors were fused to β-lactamase through the constructed expression vectors, and these vectors were transformed into C. psittaci. The secretion of these candidate effectors was evaluated by β-lactamase translocation assays. Eukaryotic expression vectors of confirmed effectors were transfected into host cells to determine their intracellular localization patterns. Results:Bioinformatic analysis identified 29 candidate effector proteins. Experimental validation confirmed the secretion of five effectors, with four exhibiting cytoplasmic localization and one displaying nuclear localization in host cells.Conclusion:This study characterizes five novel C. psittaci secreted effector proteins, providing critical insights for investigating the molecular pathogenesis of psittacosis.
