[Objective]To explore the characteristics of moxibustion application in Chuanya Waibian by ZHAO Xuemin,a doctor in Qing Dynasty,in order to provide ideas for the expansion of the application range of moxibustion and the design of new moxibustion tools.[Methods]By studying and analyzing the discussion about moxibustion in Chuanya Waibian,the author summarized the principle and experience of using moxibustion to treat diseases.[Results]Chuanya Waibian was written by ZHAO Xuemin on the basis of inheriting the essence of the theories of the ancients and combining with the medical practice experience of the folk doctors.The philosophy of moxibustion is"harmony between human and nature,treatment in line with the change of climate";in the treatment"selecting acupoints essentially,applying moxibustion moderately""using various materials of moxibustion,not confined to moxa",and characterized by"extensive clinical symptoms,good treatment of emergency"and"distinguishing Yin and Yang in the treatment of carbuncle and ulcer".[Conclusion]Chuanya Waibian reflects the characteristics of the clinical diagnosis and treatment of the folk doctors in the region of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the Qing Dynasty,and to a certain extent embodies ZHAO Xuemin's academic thought of traditional Chinese medicine.Summarizing the rules of using moxibustion to treat diseases in this book can provide new ideas and methods for clinical diagnosis and treatment,as well as reference value for the innovation of moxa sticks and the design of new moxibustion equipment.

Objective:To develop a treatment-related quality of life scale for Chinese patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and to test its reliability and validity.Methods:The initial scale was constructed through a literature search, Delphi expert correspondence, and cognitive testing. This study conducted a preliminary survey of 379 patients with MM and a formal survey of 865 patients from the hematology departments of 155 hospitals nationwide from February 2024 to March 2024. The final scale was obtained after conducting item analysis and reliability and validity tests on the initial scale.Results:The constructed scale contains 36 items covering six domains: physiological, psychological, social, treatment side effects, general health, and others. In the preliminary survey, the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of each item ranged from 0.597 to 0.939, and the test-retest reliability was 0.747 ( P<0.001). Exploratory factor analysis extracted eight common factors with a cumulative variance contribution of 60.058%. In the formal survey, the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of each item ranged from 0.484 to 0.930, and the test-retest reliability was 0.835 ( P<0.001). Confirmatory factor analysis revealed a comparative fit index of 0.750, a root-mean-square error of approximation of 0.090, and a root-mean-square residual of 0.067. Conclusion:The treatment-related quality of life scale for Chinese patients with MM designed in this study exhibited good reliability and validity, reflecting the impact of treatment on the quality of life of patients. This scale can provide a reference to clinicians for assessing the disease status of patients.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics, immunophenotypes, diagnostic criteria and differential diagnosis of atrophic kidney-like lesion (AKLL).Methods:Three cases of AKLL were collected from April 2021 to October 2023 at the Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, Changsha, Zhejiang Provincial People′s Hospital, Hangzhou and Ningbo Clinical Pathology Diagnosis Center, Ningbo, China. The clinical, morphological, and immunohistochemical characteristics were analyzed. Relevant literature was also reviewed. A targeted DNA-based next-generation sequencing (a panel of 150 genes) was performed on one of the three cases.Results:There were 1 female and 2 males, aged 30, 57, and 17 years (mean 34.6 years), respectively. The lesions were all incidentally identified during physical or imaging examination. Radiologically, they were all presented as a unilateral renal parenchymal mass. Grossly, the maximum diameters of the lesions were 1.8, 4.0, and 6.5 cm (mean 4.1 cm), respectively. The tumor cut-surfaces were sponge-like, multilocular cystic, and solid, respectively. At low magnification, the lesions were well-circumscribed, while a thick fibromuscular capsule was noted in cases 1 and 3. Cases 1 and 2 were composed of thin-walled cysts or follicular like structures of varying sizes, with the cyst wall lined by flattened and atrophic, or hobnail cells. The luminal spaces contained dense eosinophilic secretion and associated calcifications, while some cysts contained discohesive cells floating in the eosinophilic material. The tissue between the cysts showed predominantly small atrophic tubular structures. Case 3 was almost entirely composed of atrophic and collapsed tubular structures with focal cyst formation, imparting a solid sheets growth pattern under low magnification. Immunohistochemical staining revealed that the cyst lining cells and the intracystic floating cells were WT1 positive, PAX8 negative and CK7 negative, while the atrophic renal tubules were WT negative, PAX8 positive and CK7 positive. Targeted next-generation sequencing in case 1 showed no significant genetic abnormalities. All 3 patients underwent partial nephrectomy. No evidence of recurrence or metastasis was found with a follow-up of 17 to 36 months.Conclusions:AKLL is a rare and novel benign renal disease. It is easily misdiagnosed as a renal neoplasm grossly and histologically. Careful morphological observation combined with characteristic immunophenotypes can aid in its diagnosis and differential diagnosis.

Objective To explore the barriers of implementing collaborative chronic wound management within medical consortium and provide references for ensuring continuous care for chronic wound patients.Methods Using purposive and snowball sampling methods,14 specialist nurses participating in chronic wound collaborative management across medical consortium in 7 provinces/municipalities(Beijing,Shanghai,Zhejiang,Sichuan,etc.)were selected for semi-structured interviews between December 2023 and January 2024.Data were analyzed via content analysis.Results Totally 4 themes and 8 subthemes were identified,including management and organizational level(the management system needs improvement;the function of medical information mutual recognition has not been fully realized),resource and technology level(there are insufficient nursing resources at the grassroots hospitals;the specialized nursing capabilities of wound nurses at grassroots hospitals need to be enhanced),patient and demand level(patients' trust is insufficient;patients' concepts are rigid),information technology and support level(the informatization construction of grassroots hospitals lags behind;the intelligence of information systems is insufficient).Conclusion Wound specialist nurses encounter various difficulties when participating in the coordinated management of chronic wounds within the medical consortium.The management and organizational system constraints hinder the effectiveness of the nursing coordination;the resource and technology gap affects the implementation of graded wound care in the region;the lack of patient trust and misconceptions intensify the resistance to coordination;the lagging in information technology construction limits the innovative development of nursing coordination.

Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth（SIBO）is a clinically common but poorly recognized disease with clinical symptoms that overlap with those of functional gastrointestinal disorders（FGID）. FGID is a common risk factor for the occurrence of SIBO，and its SIBO incidence rate is significantly higher than that of healthy people，and has a certain correlation. Intestinal microbiota dysbiosis（including SIBO）plays an important role in the pathophysiology of FGID. At present，the diagnosis and treatment of SIBO still face challenges，and the treatment plan of FGID is gradually introduced into the treatment of SIBO. SIBO and FGID are closely related in clinical manifestations，incidence rate，pathophysiology，treatment and other aspects，but there is little research on the relationship between them. Prospective and large-scale clinical research is still needed to improve understanding and diagnostic accuracy.This article reviews the research progress on the relationship between SIBO and FGID.

Objective To investigate the role of a novel human-specific long noncoding RNA(lncRNA),MEK6-AS1,and its potential molecular mechanism in improving the osteogenic differentiation of senescent mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs).Methods An in vitro human MSCs replicative senescence model was established by sequen-tial passaging,and then senescence was identified by β staining and senescence-related gene expression.RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression of MEK6-AS1 during senescence and osteogenic differentiation of human MSCs(hMSCs);Lentiviral knockdown technology was used to regulate the expression of MEK6-AS1 in the MSCs replicative senescence model.Transcriptome sequencing technology was utilized to analyze the effects of MEK6-AS1 on the transcriptome of hMSCs especially on genes and pathways related to osteogenic differentiation.The effect of MEK6-AS1 as an intervention target at osteogenic differentiation of human senescent hMSCs was evaluated with alkaline phosphatase staining microscopy.PCR technology was used to detect osteogenic gene expression levels in cells.Results With aging process,the osteogenic differentiation ability of hMSCs decreased significantly while the expression level of MEK6-AS1 was enhanced(P＜0.000 1).Knockdown of MEK6-AS1 significantly enhanced the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs by the up-regulating expression of osteogenic markers and increasing minerali-zation capacity(P＜0.001).Conclusions Knockdown of human-specific lncRNA MEK6-AS1 improves osteogenic differentiation of senescent MSCs,providing a new target and theoretical basis for the treatment of senescence-asso-ciated osteoporosis.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism by which the ethanol extract of Epimedium brevicornu （EEBM） intervenes in mesenchymal adipose-derived stem cells （ADSCs） to delay aging in castrated rats. MethodsForty-five 3-month-old SPF female SD rats were ovariectomized and randomly divided into model group， ADSCs treatment group， and ADSCs groups treated with low， medium， and high concentrations of EEBM （1， 50， 100 μg·L^-1）， referred to as the AE low， medium， and high concentration groups， with 9 rats in each group. After tail vein injection of 200 μL of the corresponding stem cell suspension， aging-related indicators including cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor （p21）， tumor suppressor gene （p53）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， interleukin-8 （IL-8）， superoxide dismutase （SOD）， malondialdehyde （MDA）， B-cell lymphoma-2 （Bcl-2）， Bcl-2-associated X protein （Bax）， cysteine-aspartic acid protease-3 （Caspase-3）， and lipofuscin were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） and Western blot. ResultsCompared with the model group， the IL-6 content in the AE low， medium， and high concentration groups was significantly decreased （P<0.05）. Lipofuscin， MDA， and IL-8 levels in the ADSCs treatment group and AE low， medium， and high concentration groups were significantly reduced （P<0.01）， while SOD content was significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the ADSCs treatment group， lipofuscin and IL-8 levels in the AE low， medium， and high concentration groups were significantly reduced （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The MDA content was significantly decreased in the AE medium concentration group （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， protein levels of p21， p53， Bax， and Caspase-3 in the ADSCs treatment group and AE low， medium， and high concentration groups were significantly reduced （P<0.05， P<0.01）， while the Bcl-2 protein level was significantly increased （P<0.01）. Compared with the ADSCs treatment group， protein levels of p21， p53， Bax， and Caspase-3 in the AE low， medium， and high concentration groups were significantly reduced （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the Bcl-2 protein level in the AE low concentration group was significantly increased （P<0.01）. ConclusionThe results of this experiment show that EEBM-treated ADSCs or ADSCs may delay aging in castrated rats by inhibiting cell apoptosis， reducing cell cycle inhibitors and pro-inflammatory factors， enhancing antioxidant capacity， and reducing oxidative reactions. Moreover， EEBM-treated ADSCs demonstrate stronger anti-aging effects than ADSCs alone. This study provides experimental evidence supporting the clinical use of EEBM to intervene in ADSCs and delay aging.

The experts in related fields were selected for two rounds of Delphi expert consultation. The items were revised according to the expert consultation opinions to establish the final plan.Results:Totally 16 experts were included, aged (43.19 ± 7.57) years. Five were males and 11 were females. The response rates of the two rounds of expert consultation were both 16/16, and the authority coefficients of the two rounds expert consultation were both 0.85. The Kendall coordination coefficients of the importance and feasibility of the items in the second round of consultation were 0.213 and 0.224, both P<0.05. In the second round of consultation, the value of importance assignment of items at all levels was 4.19-4.94 points, and the full score rate was 43.75%-93.75%. The final scheme included 5 first-level items, 13 second-level items, and 34 third-level items. Conclusions:The preoperative prehabilitation program for prostate cancer is scientific, importanceand applicable, which provides a theoretical basis for clinical preoperative prehabilitation for prostate cancer patients.

Objective:To investigate the current status of clinical leadership among Interventional Operating Room nurses in Shandong Province and to analyze its influencing factors.Methods:In December 2024, 220 Interventional Operating Room nurses from 46 ClassⅢ Grade A general hospitals in Shandong Province were selected for a cross-sectional survey using convenience sampling. General Information Questionnaire, Clinical Leadership Survey, Chinese version of Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS-C) , and Jefferson Scale of Empathy-Health Professionals (JSE-HP) were used as survey instruments. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the factors influencing clinical leadership among Interventional Operating Room nurses. Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the relationship between emotional intelligence, empathy, and clinical leadership.Results:A total of 220 questionnaires were distributed and 204 valid questionnaires were recovered, with a valid recovery rate of 92.73% (204/220) . The clinical leadership scores of the 204 Interventional Operating Room nurses were (66.35±8.74) , and the dimensions scored, in descending order, as encouraging the heart, enabling others to act, modeling the way, inspiring a shared vision, and challenging the process. The mean scores of WLEIS-C and JSE-HP items were (5.88±0.90) and (4.61±0.63) , respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the nature of employment and whether or not they participated in leadership training were influencing factors for clinical leadership among Interventional Operating Room nurses (partial regression coefficients of -2.831 and -2.999, respectively; P<0.05) . Emotional intelligence and empathy ability among Interventional Operating Room nurses were positively correlated with clinical leadership ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Clinical leadership of nurses in the Interventional Operating Room of ClassⅢ Grade A general hospitals in Shandong Province is at a moderate to high level. Nurses who participate in leadership training, have staffing, have greater empathy, and have higher emotional intelligence have greater clinical leadership. It is recommended that nursing administrators add leadership-related courses to the training of nurses in the Interventional Operating Room, and take steps to improve nurses' emotional intelligence and empathy ability, thereby promoting clinical leadership among Interventional Operating Room nurses.
