ObjectiveQi deficiency and phlegm dampness syndrome is a common type of clinical traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） syndrome. However， there is no standard， scientific， and accurate report on the construction of animal models of Qi deficiency and phlegm dampness syndrome. This study aims to construct a mouse model of Qi deficiency and phlegm dampness syndrome by using a multi-factor composite modeling method and to evaluate the model. MethodsTwenty-one C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into three groups with seven mice in each group， which were the normal group， model group， and Shenling Baizhusan （SLBZ） group. The control group was fed with ordinary diet and kept in a normal environment. The model group and SLBZ group were fed with a high-fat diet in a high-humidity environment. Swimming with heavy weights until exhaustion and gavage with cold water or lard were used to establish the mouse model of Qi deficiency and phlegm dampness syndrome. In order to test the syndrome by prescription， mice in the SLBZ group were treated with SLBZ for 14 days after model construction. The exhaustive swimming time， body weight， serum lipid levels， tongue changes， "Qi deficiency and phlegm dampness" assessment scale score， and cecal index of mice in each group were measured. The feces of each group of mice were sent for metagenomics and metabolome sequencing， and the changes in intestinal flora and metabolites were analyzed. ResultsAfter the modeling of Qi deficiency and phlegm dampness syndrome， the exhaustive swimming time of mice was obviously shortened （P<0.01）. The serum total cholesterol， low density lipoprotein cholesterol， and non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol of mice were significantly increased （all P<0.01）. The tongue of mice was significantly different from that of the normal group， and the score of the assessment scale was significantly higher than that of the control group （P<0.01）. Cecal index decreased significantly （P<0.01）. The serum lipid level， tongue image， assessment scale score， and cecal index were reversed in the SLBZ group. Metagenomic and metabolome sequencing results showed that intestinal flora and fecal metabolites were significantly changed in mice with Qi deficiency and phlegm dampness syndrome. Akkermansia_muciniphila， Faecalibaculum_rodentium， Eubacterium_plexicaudatum， Eubacterium sp 14_2， Candida glabrata， Romboutsia_ilealis， Turicibacter sp TS3， and other bacteria had significant changes， and the expressions of intestinal metabolites such as chenodeoxycholic acid， choline， L-phenylalanine betaine， and 2-phenylbutyric acid were significantly changed. Related metabolic pathways such as linoleic acid metabolism， primary bile acid biosynthesis， lysine degradation， arginine biosynthesis， and alpha-linolenic acid metabolism were affected. ConclusionThe Qi deficiency and phlegm dampness model of mice can be constructed by the multi-factor composite modeling method of high-fat diet feeding， high-humidity environment feeding， exhaustive swimming with heavy weight， and intragastric administration with cold water or lard. The blood lipid level， tongue change， score of "Qi deficiency and phlegm dampness assessment scale"， cecal index， and changes in related intestinal flora and metabolites of mice can be used as key indicators for model evaluation.

Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Septic shock is the primary cause of mortality in sepsis, with its core pathophysiological mechanism being severe ischemia and hypoxia in critical units—composed of microcirculation and the mitochondria of functional cells—resulting from disruptions in blood flow and oxygen flow following a dysregulated host response. Due to the systemically convergent yet clinically heterogeneous nature of the host response, current understanding and management strategies for hemodynamics remain inconsistent, often leading to inadequate resuscitation or overtreatment. To improve the quality of care, based on a systematic review of the "blood flow-oxygen flow" theory, an expert panel emphasizes reevaluating septic shock from an integrated perspective of blood flow and oxygen flow, and has formulated the Expert Consensus on Blood Flow and Oxygen Delivery Phenotyping and Clinical Management of Septic Shock (2025). The consensus proposes that clinical typing of blood flow-oxygen flow should comprehensively consider cardiac function, vascular tone, oxygen flow utilization status in critical units, and disease trajectory, while optimizing subtype identification by integrating host response phenotypes and artificial intelligence technologies. It advocates establishing a continuous assessment system through multi-site oxygen flow monitoring for organ perfusion, peripheral perfusion monitoring, and critical care ultrasound. Under the framework of the "critical care triangle", the consensus promotes the implementation of individualized, bundled management strategies, providing guidance for multiple management points to restore blood flow-oxygen flow matching, reduce the risk of organ failure, and decrease patient mortality.

With the rapid advancement of hemodynamic indices and monitoring technologies, their classification methods and application processes have become increasingly complex. Currently, no unified standard hasbeen established, making it difficult to fully meet the clinical requirements for hemodynamic management. To assist in hemodynamic monitoring assessment and therapeutic decision-making in critically ill patients, the Critical Hemodynamic Therapy Collaborative Group, in conjunction with the Critical Ultrasound Study Group, has jointly developed the Standard for the Application of Hemodynamic Monitoring Techniques in Critical Care. The first part of this standard systematically categorizes hemodynamic indicators into flow indicators, pressure and its derivative indicators, and tissue perfusion indicators, while elaborating on the clinical application of each. The second part establishes a standardized clinical implementation pathway for hemodynamic monitoring. It proposes a tiered monitoring strategy-comprising basic, advanced, indication-specific, and special scenario monitoring-tailored to different clinical settings. It emphasizes the central role of critical care ultrasound across all levels of monitoring and establishes hemodynamic assessment standards for organs such as the brain, kidneys, and gastrointestinal tract. This standard aims to provide a unified framework for clinical practice, teaching, training, and research in critical care medicine, thereby promoting standardized development within the discipline.

Objective To analyze the clinical manifestations of patients over 60 years old with acute respiratory infection in Pudong New Area of Shanghai and the risk factors of positive detection of novel coronavirus, and to provide reference for improving prevention and control strategies and measures. Methods General conditions, clinical features, basic complications and respiratory samples of inpatients over 60 years old with acute respiratory infection from eight hospitals in Pudong New Area of Shanghai from January to October 2023 were collected, and SARS-CoV-2 detection was carried out. Chi-square test and binary logistics regression were used for data analysis. Results A total of 604 patients over 60 years old were collected, including 356 (58.945) males with a median age of 77 (IQR:70-85) years. Of the 604 cases, 264 were detected positive for SARS-CoV-2, with a positive detection rate of 43.71%. The results of univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in the detection rates of SARS-CoV-2 among different age groups (χ²=10.60, P=0.01) and different months (χ²=87.15, P=0.00), and among those with cough (χ²=5.28, P=0.02), sputum (χ²=4.19, P=0.04), sore throat (χ²=3.93, P=0.04), and hypertension (χ²=7.63, P=0.01). In the binary logistics regression analysis, month (P=0.00, OR=2.93, 95% CI=1.49-5.78) and age (P=0.00, OR=2.60, 95% CI=1.55-4.37) were independent risk factors for positive detection of SARS-CoV-2. Conclusion The majority of hospitalized cases of acute respiratory infection over 60 years old are male, and the risk factors for positive detection of novel coronavirus are age 80~89 years old and time between May and June.

Animal experimentation constitutes a critical link between basic research and clinical application, making its research quality and translational efficiency paramount. Although considerable progress has been made in standardizing operational procedures and ethical guidelines, the standardization of outcome evaluation systems has significantly lagged, creating a key bottleneck that constrains the quality of biomedical research and evidence synthesis. This deficiency is manifested by pronounced heterogeneity in outcome selection across similar studies, incomplete methodological reporting, and disparate criteria for result interpretation, which severely impairs the comparability of findings and the evidence integration. To cope with this challenge, this paper systematically introduces a mature methodological tool from clinical research–the core outcome set (COS)–and explores its construction strategies and application potential in the field of animal experimentation. Given the extensive diversity of animal experiments, a pragmatic strategy of "focusing on key areas, implementing phased pilots, and promoting gradual expansion" should be adopted. This approach prioritizes the development of domain-specific COS for disease areas characterized by high research volume, urgent translational needs, and well-established animal models. A multi-source integration pathway for COS development is detailed, comprising systematic literature searches, methodological appraisals, and expert consensus, with the feasibility of leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance efficiency also being examined. The development and promotion of such COS are not intended to restrict scientific exploration; rather, they aim to establish a new, tiered evaluation paradigm consisting of "core outcomes" (mandatory), "recommended outcomes" (encouraged), and "exploratory outcomes" (optional). This framework is expected not only to enhance research quality through standardization and to adhere to the "3R" principles but also to accelerate the accumulation of high-quality evidence. This, in turn, provides a solid foundation for higher-level evidence synthesis, ultimately facilitating the effective translation of basic research findings into clinical practice and providing an essential methodological framework for scientific advancement in relevant disciplines.

ObjectiveTo analyze the long-term trend of incidence and mortality of type 2 diabetic kidney disease （DKD） in China from 1990 to 2021. MethodsThe Joinpoint regression model was used to analyze the average annual percentage change （AAPC） of standardized incidence rate and standardized mortality rate， and the age-period-cohort （APC） model was constructed to analyze the longitudinal age change， period and cohort effect risk ratio （RR）. ResultsFrom 1990 to 2021， the standardized incidence rate of type 2 DKD in males and females showed an overall upward trend， with AAPC of 0.08% and 0.36%， respectively. The age-standardized mortality rate of the total population and female showed a downward trend， with AAPC of -0.61% and -1.03%， respectively. However， there was no significant difference in males. APC model showed that the age effect existed： the peak age was 75-79 years old， the mortality rate of females increased， and the mortality rate of males decreased after 80-84 years old. For the effect of time period， the risk of type 2 DKD incidence in females in 2017—2021 was 1.05 times that in 2002—2006， and the risk of death in males and females in 2017—2021 was 0.84 and 0.71 times that in 2002—2006， respectively. For cohort effects， the highest risk of disease was seen in men and women born in 1967—1971， and the highest risk of death was seen in men born in 1952—1956 and women born in 1912—1916. ConclusionFrom 1990 to 2021， the standardized incidence rate of type 2 DKD in China shows an upward trend， and the standardized mortality rate shows a downward trend. It is necessary to strengthen the health behavior publicity and education of type 2 DKD， and actively carry out early screening to reduce the disease burden.

Obesity， a global chronic disease， is associated with adipose tissue dysfunction， which is one of the contributing factors to obesity. The cyclic adenosine monophosphate （cAMP） signaling pathway， a key regulator of lipid metabolism， plays a pivotal role in obesity development. Various of traditional Chinese medicine monomers， such as flavonoids， lignans， phenols， and terpenoids， as well as traditional Chinese medicine compound formulas like Xiaoyao powder， Shengmai powder， and Zexie decoction， can maintain energy homeostasis， balance adipose tissue function， regulate glucose metabolism， improve insulin resistance， and suppress inflammatory responses through cAMP signaling pathway regulation， thereby intervening in lipid metabolism for obesity treatment. Although a substantial amount of basic research has preliminarily elucidated the potential mechanisms by which traditional Chinese medicine intervenes in obesity through the cAMP signaling pathway， clinical translational research remains inadequate. There is an urgent need for large-sample， high-quality randomized controlled trials to validate these findings.

Objective To investigate the microbial disinfection and sterilization effectiveness of an electron linear accelerator on the surface and interior of postal packages, and to design and conduct a penetrating radiation disinfection and sterilization experiment. Methods This experiment selected Bacillus pumilus E601 (ATCC 27142) as the indicator microbial strain for radiation. An experimental model of postal package was subjected to penetrating radiation with different dose gradients using high-energy electron beams generated by an S-band 10 MeV electron linear accelerator. The disinfection and sterilization effectiveness was assessed by culturing and counting B. pumilus after high-energy electron beam radiation treatment. A control group was established to analyze the influence of actual absorbed doses at different gradients on the disinfection and sterilization effectiveness of the electron linear accelerator. Results The actual absorbed doses of high-energy electron-beam radiation required to achieve 1-, 3-, and 6-log reductions of B. pumilus were 1.63, 5.07, and 10.22 kGy, respectively. Complete inactivation was achieved at an absorbed dose of 10.92 kGy, which met the processing requirements specified in the technical standard for ionizing-radiation disinfection. Conclusion The experimental data indicated that the actual absorbed dose for B. pumilus is linearly positively correlated with the log reduction of bacterial colonies killed by electron beam radiation. For disinfection and sterilization requirements in different scenarios, the required actual absorbed dose can be achieved by dynamically adjusting the operating speed of the under-beam transmission system.

Aerosol removal using flame-retardant atomized fixatives, as a major means of aerosol control, has achieved remarkable results in the field of nuclear facility decommissioning and decontamination. Traditional atomized fixatives for aerosol removal have deficiencies in high-temperature resistance and flame retardancy, rendering them inadequate for operational scenarios involving high temperatures and flammability encountered during nuclear decommissioning. This paper investigates the current development of flame-retardant atomized fixatives for aerosol removal both domestically and internationally and presents a preliminary exploration of this technology. The experiments showed that atomized fixatives modified with flame-retardant properties not only maintained excellent aerosol capture efficiency, but also exhibited significantly improved flame-retardant performance. This confirmed the technical feasibility of the proposed approach. Finally, suggestions and reflections are proposed for the development of this technology and its application in nuclear facility decommissioning.

To interpret the evidence-to-decision （EtD） framework and to illustrate its application in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） guideline development using the example of the Pharmacovigilance Guideline of Chinese Patent Medicine， thereby providing methodological references for TCM guideline standardization. Based on the core three stages of the EtD framework （formulating the question， making an assessment of the evidence， and drawing conclusions）， critical decision points and evaluation evidence within the evidence-translation process were systematically addressed， aligning with the purpose， scope， and key questions of the guideline. Qualitative research methods， such as the nominal group technique， were employed to formulate recommendations. The analysis was conducted based on the EtD framework. During question formulation， the specific characteristics and practical needs of pharmacovigilance for Chinese patent medicines were clarified， focusing on the core objective of safety assurance throughout the product lifecycle. In the evidence assessment， multi-source evidence was integrated， including policy documents， literature research， and expert consensus， completing the evidence evaluation. Finally， in recommendation-forming， dispersed research evidence and expert experience were synthesized into consensus， culminating in the guideline's completion through solicitation of opinions and peer review. The EtD framework provides a structured tool for evidence-to-decision translation in TCM guideline development， effectively enhancing the transparency and scientific rigor of the process. Therefore， it is recommended that TCM guideline development adopt the EtD framework to improve the evidence-to-decision process with TCM characteristics.
