Acute pancreatitis is a common surgical emergency characterized by severe local or systemic complications during its progression. Diseases of the biliary system are among the serious local complications of acute pancreatitis, primarily including acute acalculous cholecystitis (AAC) and biliary stricture. AAC often occurs in the later stages of acute pancreatitis, exacerbating systemic inflammation and leading to organ failure and life-threatening conditions in severe cases. Biliary stricture is a rare but serious long-term complication of acute pancreatitis, which can induce cholangitis, progressive liver function impairment, and secondary biliary cirrhosis. Due to the clinical symptoms of acute pancreatitis that can mask biliary system diseases, some patients may not receive timely diagnosis and treatment for concurrent biliary issues during the onset of acute pancreatitis, which can be life-threatening in severe cases. Currently, the ideal treatment strategy for biliary system complications secondary to acute pancreatitis remains unclear, lacking definitive guidelines or consensus. This article integrates recent research developments from both domestic and international studies to elucidate the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment strategies for biliary system complications secondary to acute pancreatitis.

[Objective]To summarize the theoretical framework and characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine ethics,reflecting the unique value of traditional Chinese medicine ethics within the existing knowledge system of medical ethics.[Methods]By exploring the emergence and development of traditional Chinese medicine ethics,summarizing the theoretical framework of traditional Chinese medicine ethics and exploring the main characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine ethics from the perspectives of doctor-patient,inter medical,and medical social relationships,the contemporary value and advantages of traditional Chinese medicine ethics are demonstrated.[Results]Traditional Chinese medicine ethics embodies the ethical views of valuing life and respecting death,embracing all professions,and adapting to the times through education.Compared with the ethical thinking of western medicine,it combines the humanistic connotations of traditional Chinese medicine,emphasizing interactive doctor-patient relationships,respecting collaborative doctor-doctor relationships,and emphasizing both morality and law in medical social relationships,to construct a contemporary ethical thinking system of traditional Chinese medicine.[Conclusion]The enrichment of traditional Chinese medicine ethics in contemporary medical ethics should establish a collaborative doctor-patient relationship,a collaborative doctor-doctor relationship and a medical society relationship based on moral guidance.This is of great significance for finding a way out for traditional Chinese medicine ethics,creating a new system of medical ethics with Chinese characteristics and cultivating cultural confidence.

Objective:To retrieve, screen, evaluate and integrate the relevant evidence of nursing management for patent foramen ovale detected by contrast transesophageal echocardiography (cTEE) to provide a basis for clinical practice.Methods:A systematic search was conducted in relevant Chinese and English databases, guideline websites, and professional association websites such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang database, PubMed, and MedLink, etc. Relevant literatures on the detection of patent foramen ovale by cTEE were included, including guidelines, expert conconsensus, clinical decisions, evidence summaries, and systematic reviews. The search period was from the establishment of the database to July 31, 2024. Two evidence-based nursing researchers evaluated the quality of the literature and extracted relevant evidence in combination with clinical situations.Results:A total of 15 literatures were included. Among them, there were 3 guidelines, 6 expert consensuses, 3 clinical decisions, 2 quasi-experiments, and 1 systematic review. Thirty pieces of evidence were summarized from five aspects: assessment, education and publicity, preparation before examination, detection during examination, care after examination.Conclusions:The best evidence for the nursing management of patent foramen ovale detected by cTEE is of high quality and strong authority, which can provide evidence-based basis for standardizing clinical practice and accurately and efficiently detecting patent foramen ovale.

Objective:To investigate the current status and influencing factors of decision anxiety in guardians of children with acute appendicitis under Endoscopic retrograde appendicitis therapy (ERAT) background, and to provide reference for the development of targeted intervention programs for decision anxiety.Methods:Convenient sampling method was used to select 254 guardians of children with acute appendicitis treated in the Department of Pediatrics, Second Affiliated Hospital of PLA Air Force Medical University from February 2023 to April 2024. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using the General Data Questionnaire, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Form Y-State anxiety subscale and the Preparation for Decision Making Scale. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors in guardians of children with acute appendicitis.Results:Among the guardians of 254 children with acute appendicitis, 156 were males and 98 were females, aged (37.44 ± 3.63) years old. The decision anxiety score of guardians of children with acute appendicitis was (52.49 ± 6.54). The results of multiple linear regression showed that age of children, gender of guardian, education level of guardian, per capita monthly income of family, decision making tendency and decision preparation were the main influencing factors of decision anxiety in guardians of children with acute appendicitis ( t values were -7.07-3.58, all P<0.05), which could explain 64.4% of the total variation. Conclusions:The decision anxiety in guardians of children with acute appendicitis is at a high level. Medical staff should provide targeted decision guidance, improve decision assistance programs and provide more effective decision support for guardians of children with acute appendicitis.

Sustained inflammatory responses are closely related to various severe diseases,and inhibiting the excessive activation of inflammasomes and pyroptosis has significant implications for clinical treatment.Natural products have garnered considerable concern for the treatment of inflammation.Huanglian-Wumei decoction(HLWMD)is a classic prescription used for treating inflammatory diseases,but the necessity of their combination and the exact underlying anti-inflammatory mechanism have not yet been elucidated.Inspired by the supramolecular self-assembly strategy and natural drug compatibility theory,we successfully obtained berberine(BBR)-chlorogenic acid(CGA)supramolecular(BCS),which is an herbal pair from HLWMD.Using a series of characterization methods,we confirmed the self-assembly mechanism of BCS.BBR and CGA were self-assembled and stacked into amphiphilic spherical supra-molecules in a 2:1 molar ratio,driven by electrostatic interactions,hydrophobic interactions,and π-πstacking;the hydrophilic fragments of CGA were outside,and the hydrophobic fragments of BBR were inside.This stacking pattern significantly improved the anti-inflammatory performance of BCS compared with that of single free molecules.Compared with free molecules,BCS significantly attenuated the release of multiple inflammatory mediators and lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced pyroptosis.Its anti-inflammatory mechanism is closely related to the inhibition of intracellular nuclear factor-kappaB(NF-κB)p65 phosphorylation and the noncanonical pyroptosis signalling pathway mediated by caspase-11.
