ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the methodological quality and measurement properties of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome efficacy evaluation scales， and to provide evidence-based references for selecting high-quality assessment tools in TCM clinical practice. MethodsChina National Knowledge Infrastructure （CNKI）， Wanfang Data， VIP Database， Chinese Biomedical Literature Database （CBM）， PubMed， the Cochrane Library， Embase， and Web of Science were searched from inception to April 2， 2025， for studies evaluating the measurement properties of TCM syndrome efficacy evaluation scales. Data were extracted， and the methodological quality and measurement properties of the included scales were assessed according to the consensus-based standards for the selection of health measurement instruments （COSMIN）. Recommendation levels were formulated based on the grading of evidence. ResultsA total of 46 studies were included， involving 22 generic syndrome efficacy evaluation scales and 24 disease-specific syndrome efficacy evaluation scales. None of the scales reported cross-cultural validity or measurement error. According to the recommendation grades， 2 scales met Grade A recommendations and are suggested for clinical use； 38 scales were classified as Grade B， indicating potential applicability but requiring further validation； and 6 scales were classified as Grade C， suggesting the need for further refinement. ConclusionExisting TCM syndrome efficacy evaluation scales exhibit substantial variability in methodological quality， incomplete reporting of measurement properties， and insufficient attention to scale revision. Future efforts should emphasize standardized design in the development of TCM syndrome scales， strengthen validation procedures for key measurement properties， and prioritize dynamic revision of scales， thereby providing high-quality tools to support the precise evaluation of syndrome efficacy.

OBJECTIVE To summarize the clinical features and treatment methods of subglottic cysts in infants.METHODS A single-center retrospective study was conducted,enrolling twelve pediatric patients with subglottic cysts who were treated at Beijing Children's Hospital,Affiliated to Capital Medical University,between December 2016 and October 2024.Clinical data were collected and analyzed,including patient age,body weight,perinatal history,presenting symptoms,findings from flexible laryngoscopy and imaging studies,as well as surgical treatment modalities.RESULTS Among the 12 patients,8 were male and 4 were female,with a median age of 7 months.Preterm infants accounted for 83.3%(10/12),low birth weight was observed in 58.3%(7/12),and 75%(9/12)had a history of tracheal intubation.The primary clinical manifestations included stridor,respiratory distress,and feeding difficulties.All patients were diagnosed by laryngoscopy and imaging studies,which confirmed the presence of subglottic cysts.Among these,9 were located on the right side and 3 on the left.All patients underwent subglottic cyst excision under general anesthesia using suspension laryngoscopy combined with endoscopy.Among them,two cases experienced recurrence and required a second surgical procedure three months postoperatively.Histopathological examination revealed a cyst wall lined by stratified squamous epithelium and pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium.All patients were followed up for a period ranging from 6 months to 6 years,with no recurrence observed during this time.CONCLUSION Infants presenting with stridor and dyspnea should undergo prompt laryngoscopy for definitive diagnosis.Subglottic cysts should be highly suspected in preterm,low-birth-weight infants with a history of intubation who develop stridor or respiratory distress during development.Once diagnosed,surgical intervention should be performed promptly to avoid the need for a tracheostomy.Surgical excision under general anesthesia using suspension laryngoscopy combined with endoscopy is an effective treatment for subglottic cysts.

Objective:To investigate the methods and skills required for the safe and swift removal of primary or secondary sacral tumors located between the second (inclusive) and fourth sacral vertebrae.Methods:The clinical images, pathology reports, surgical procedures, operation durations, intraoperative bleeding volumes, and postoperative functional follow-up data of 26 patients undergoing sacral tumor resection at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps Hospital between May 2020 and February 2025 were retrospectively examined. Additionally, the safety measures for sacral tumor resection and techniques for expedited specimen removal were evaluated.Results:According to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, all 26 patients presented with sacral tumors located between the second (inclusive) and fourth sacral vertebrae. Specifically, 9 patients were diagnosed with primary sacral tumors, pathologically confirmed as chordomas, while 17 patients had secondary sacral tumors. Among the secondary tumor cases, 12 were attributed to recurrent rectal cancer invading the sacrum, and 5 were due to malignant teratomas invading the sacrum. The 26 patients underwent a treatment strategy that began with managing the relationship between the internal iliac artery, vein branches, and the tumor, followed by the resection of the sacrum. During surgery, the bilateral sciatic foramina were accurately positioned, and the presacral fascia was dissected subsequent to the fracture of the sacrum. Among the 26 patients, 9 underwent sacral tumor resection directly through the posterior sacral approach. The average operation time for these patients was (71.1±4.9) minutes, with average blood loss of (186.7±72.8) milliliters. On the other hand, 17 patients underwent sacral tumor resection by transitioning from the supine position to the prone knife position through a combined abdominal and sacral approach. The average operation time for this group was (213.5±19.3) minutes, with average blood loss of (480.0±93.0) milliliters, significantly longer than that of the posterior sacral approach. The follow-up period ranged from 1 to 48 months, with a median of 20 months, ending on March 31, 2025. During this time, 26 patients achieved autonomous defecation with the aid of medication. None of the patients reported any functional movement disorders or pain in their lower limbs. It was observed that two out of the 26 patients developed distant metastasis, while the remaining 24 patients survived without any tumors.Conclusion:By pretreated the relationship between the internal iliac vessels and sacral tumors prior to resecting sacral tumors, utilizing the approach of initially fracturing the sacrum followed by rupturing the presacral fascia, the tumor can be entirely eliminated, resulting in a brief surgical procedure, reduced intraoperative bleeding, and minimal postoperative complications.

Objective:To investigate the application effect of quadratus lumborum block (QLB) combined with less opioid anesthesia analgesia in laparoscopic total hysterectomy (LTH) in elderly patients with uterine prolapse.Methods:A total of 86 elderly patients with uterine prolapse who received LTH in the Langfang People’s Hospital from Jan. 2021 to Oct. 2023 were prospectively selected and divided into group A ( n=42) and group B ( n=44) according to the random number table method. Group A received transversus abdominis block (TAPB) + general anesthesia, and group B received QLB combined with less opioid anesthesia + general anesthesia. The pain duration at different time points after operation [Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) method to evaluate resting incision and visceral pain] was compared between the two groups. The dosage of opioids and the additional analgesia rate were compared between the two groups. The sleep quality of the two groups before and 72 hours after operation was compared, and the adverse reactions of anesthesia were counted. Results:Compared with 6 h after operation, NRS scores of resting incision pain and visceral pain in the two groups decreased gradually at 12, 24 and 48 h after operation, and it was lower in group B than in group A. There were statistically significant differences between groups ( P<0.05) . Dosage of sufentanil and remifentanil in group B was lower than that in group A, and the postoperative additional analgesia rate in group B (9.09%) was lower than that in group A (28.57%) ( P<0.05) . 72 hours after surgery, the sleep efficiency and total sleep time of patients in both groups were lower than those before surgery, and they were higher in group B than in group A; The awakening time and number of awakenings in both groups were higher than those before surgery, while they were lower in group B than in group A ( P<0.05) . The total incidence of adverse reactions in group B was 4.76% (2/44) , lower than 23.81% (10/42) of group A ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:QLB combined with less opioid anesthesia analgesia can effectively reduce the degree of incision and visceral pain after LTH in elderly patients with uterine prolapse, reduce the amount of opioids used during operation and the rate of additional analgesia, and reduce the incidence of adverse reactions of anesthesia.

Objective:To explore the value of lymphocyte subsets in predicting the efficacy and prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)patients receiving programmed death receptor 1(PD-1)monoclonal antibody(mAb)combined with chemotherapy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 50 NSCLC patients diagnosed and treated with PD-1 mAb combined with chemotherapy at the Second Hospital of Lanzhou University from January 2022 to December 2023.Peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets(including total T cells,CD4+T cells,CD8+T cells,NK cells,total B lymphocytes,and CD4+/CD8+T cell ratio)were collected before and after two cycles of treatment.After two cycles of treatment,imaging examination was performed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy,dividing patients into disease control(DC)group and disease progression(PD)group.The relationship between lymphocyte subset levels and the short-term efficacy in NSCLC patients was analyzed using chi-square test,rank sum test,and Logistic regression analysis.The value of lymphocyte subsets in predicting patients'progression-free survival(PFS)was explored using Kaplan-Meier method.Results:PD-1 mAb combined with chemotherapy significantly influenced the immune status of NSCLC patients.After treatment,the peripheral blood CD4+T cells and CD4+/CD8+T cell ratio significantly increased(both P<0.01),while the level of CD8+T cells decreased.In terms of short-term efficacy,the proportion of CD4+T cells and the CD4+/CD8+T cell ratio in the DC group were significantly higher than those in the PD group(both P<0.01).Logistic multivariate analysis showed that the CD4+/CD8+T cell ratio was an independent factor affecting the efficacy of PD-1 mAb combined with chemotherapy.ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve(AUC)for CD4?/CD8? T cell ratio variation was 0.820(>0.5),with a cut-off value of 0.15.Patients with a the CD4+/CD8+T cell ratio increase of≥0.15 had a longer PFS.Conclusion:The proportion of CD4+T cells,CD8+T cells,and the CD4+/CD8+T cell ratio in peripheral blood can predict the efficacy and prognosis of PD-1 mAb combined with chemotherapy in advanced NSCLC patients.
