This paper systematically reviewed the concept of authentication studies on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) classics and the research achievements of scholars across historical and contemporary periods. We categorized the authentication studies on TCM classics into four types, including work-oriented authentication research, metho-dological studies on authentication, extended authentication research, and single-book authentication. Multiple methods were applied comprehensively, including investigating bibliographic documents of successive dynasties, analyzing the academic contents of medical books, studying the textual characteristics of medical books, examining the cited references in medical books, verifying the biographies of authors, and analyzing the interpolations and accretions in medical books, to distinguish the authenticity of TCM classics. The academic value of authenticity identification of TCM classics is concluded in three aspects,i.e. it serves as an important means to distinguish authenticity from falsehood in TCM classics, an important guarantee for inheriting the essence of TCM literature, and a key to unlocking the academic treasure trove of TCM classics and achieving inheritance-based innovation, which will lay a solid documentary foundation for constructing identification methodologies and standardized systems.

Objective To summarize and analyze the efficacy and influencing factors of second allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for acute leukemia relapsing after the first allo-HSCT. Methods Clinical data of 17 patients with acute leukemia who underwent second allo-HSCT at Peking University First Hospital from January 2005 to December 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Results Among the 17 patients, 7 achieved long-term disease-free survival after second transplantation. The median progression-free survival after successful second transplantation was 7 months (range 8 days to 69 months). The relapse fatality was 24%, and the transplant-related fatality was 35%. Conclusions Second transplantation is an effective treatment for relapsed and refractory acute leukemia, but the relapse fatality and transplant-related fatality remain high. Patient age, time of relapse after the first transplantation and disease status before second transplantation are all factors that affect the efficacy of second transplantation. Younger age, late relapse and complete remission of disease before second transplantation are all beneficial for long-term disease-free survival after second transplantation.

Objective To analyze the influenza-like illness (ILI) data in Ordos City from 2017 to 2023 and conduct nucleic acid detection of the virus to understand the local influenza epidemic situation, and to provide a reliable basis for influenza prevention and control in the city. Methods Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was used to identify virus subtypes in ILI throat swab samples. Comparisons of positive rates were conducted using the chi-square test, with a significance level of α=0.05. Results From 2017 to 2023, a total of 3,283,434 outpatient and emergency visits were recorded at the Ordos City Central Hospital, including 74,159 ILI cases, with an ILI proportion of 2.26%. The majority of ILI cases (74.43%) occurred in children aged 0~14 years old. The overall positive rate of influenza virus nucleic acid detection was 10.87%, with the highest proportion being subtype A (seasonal H3) at 43.03%. The highest detection rate was observed in the 5~14 years age group, with statistically significant differences in positive rates across age groups (χ2=155.638, P<0.001). Influenza peaks occurred mainly from November to March of the following year. From January to April, three types of influenza were prevalent alternately or mixed, while from October to December, subtype A (seasonal H3) predominated. Positive rates varied significantly across months (χ2=250.923, P<0.001). The temporal trends of ILI proportions and PCR-positive rates were consistent. Conclusion Influenza in Ordos City exhibits distinct seasonal and age distribution characteristics, with alternating or mixed circulation of three virus types. Continued efforts are needed to strengthen influenza surveillance, especially the prevention and control of influenza in infants and adolescents.

AIM: To investigate the abnormal conditions and change patterns of accommodative facility in patients with different refractive states before and after small incision lenticule extraction(SMILE)surgery.METHODS:A prospective clinical cohort study was conducted. A total of 59 patients(118 eyes)who underwent SMILE surgery and had visual function files established in our hospital from June to December 2023 were randomly selected, including 37 males and 22 females, aged 18-35 years(with an average age of 25.19±5.65 years). According to the preoperative spherical equivalent(SE), they were divided into two groups: the low-to-moderate myopia group(SE≥-6.00 DS)with 40 patients(80 eyes), and the high myopia group(SE<-6.00 DS)with 19 patients(38 eyes). The monocular and binocular accommodative facility before surgery and at 1 wk and 1 mo after surgery were compared, and the changes in accommodative facility before and after SMILE surgery in the two groups of patients were analyzed.RESULTS:All surgeries were completed successfully. In the low-to-moderate myopia group, 33 cases(66 eyes)completed the 1-month follow-up after surgery, with a loss to follow-up rate of 17.5%(7/40). In the high myopia group, 15 patients(30 eyes)completed the 1-month follow-up after surgery, with a loss to follow-up rate of 21.1%(4/19). After SMILE surgery, the uncorrected visual acuity and SE of both low-to-moderate myopia and high myopia were significantly improved(all P<0.05). The accommodative facility of the right eyes in all the patients at 1 mo after surgery was better than that before surgery and at 1 wk after surgery(P=0.002, 0.006), the accommodative facility of the left eyes was significantly increased at 1 mo after surgery than that at 1 wk after surgery(P=0.005), and the binocular accommodative facility at 1 mo after surgery was significantly increased compared with that before surgery(P<0.017). Furthermore, there were statistical significance in accommodative facility of the right eyes in the low-to-moderate group at 1 mo compared with that before surgery and at 1 wk after surgery(P=0.011, 0.004); it was significantly increased in the left eyes at 1 mo after surgery compared with that at 1 wk after surgery(P=0.001), and binocular accommodative facility at 1 mo after surgery was significantly better than that before surgery(P<0.001). Furthermore, there was no statistical significance in the right, left and binocular accommodative facility of patients in the high myopia group(all P>0.017).CONCLUSION: After SMILE surgery, the monocular accommodative facility shows a transient decrease and then exceeds the preoperative level at 1 mo after surgery, and the binocular accommodative facility gradually improves after surgery. SMILE surgery has a positive impact on the monocular and binocular accommodative facility in patients with low-to-moderate myopia, but has no significant impact on the accommodative facility in patients with high myopia. It is of clinical significance to strengthen the detection of monocular and binocular accommodative facility before and after SMILE surgery.

Objective:To identify the risk factors for acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) undergoing haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HID-HSCT) .Methods:A total of 141 AML patients who underwent HID-HSCT at the Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, from January 2020 to July 2021 were included. The cumulative incidence of aGVHD was analyzed using the Fine-Gray competing risk model, with relapse and death as competing events, to compare differences between groups. Potential risk factors were evaluated by univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analyses to determine their independent effects on aGVHD.Results:Among the 141 patients, 86 (61.0%) were male and 55 (39.0%) were female, with a median age at transplantation of 34 years. Within 100 days post-transplant, 59 patients developed grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ aGVHD, whereas 86 patients experienced no or grade Ⅰ aGVHD (the grade 0-Ⅰ aGVHD group) . Survival analysis showed that the 3-year overall survival was 68.7% (95% CI: 57.7%-81.9%) in the grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ aGVHD group, compared with 78.8% (95% CI: 70.4%-88.3%) in the grade 0 - Ⅰ aGVHD group, with the difference not being statistically significant ( P=0.190) . Univariable analysis identified donor age ( P=0.020, HR=1.020, 95% CI: 1.000-1.040) and the female donor-male recipient sex combination ( P=0.033, HR=1.980, 95% CI: 1.160-3.380) as risk factors for grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ aGVHD. Multivariable analysis confirmed that donor age ( P=0.005, HR=1.026, 95% CI: 1.008-1.047) and the female donor-male recipient sex combination ( P=0.002, HR=2.339, 95% CI: 1.354-4.037) were independent risk factors for aGVHD. Patients receiving grafts from donors aged >45 years had a significantly higher 100-day cumulative incidence of grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ aGVHD compared with those receiving grafts from donors ≤45 years [54.7% (95% CI: 42.3%-67.0%) vs 31.6% (95% CI: 21.0%-42.1%) , P=0.006]. Similarly, patients with the female donor-male recipient sex combination had a higher 100-day cumulative incidence of grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ aGVHD than those with other sex combinations [56.8% (95% CI: 40.4%-73.1%) vs 36.9% (95% CI: 27.5%-46.3%) , P=0.015]. Conclusion:Older donor age and the female donor-male recipient sex combination remain independent risk factors for aGVHD in patients with AML undergoing HID-HSCT.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) poses a significant public health challenge in China due to its high prevalence and substantial disease burden. Primary healthcare institutions (PHIs) serve as the cornerstone for COPD prevention and management. However, they currently face critical challenges, including inadequate diagnostic capacity, suboptimal treatment standardization, and limited patient awareness. In recent years, national efforts have initiated the development of a primary-level COPD prevention and management network. Key strategies include incorporating COPD into the Fundamental Public Health Service Program (FPHSP), strengthening lung function screening, promoting tiered diagnosis and treatment systems, establishing central-local coordination mechanisms, and implementing National Major Public Health Service Programs. Future directions necessitate focused efforts on: constructing integrated prevention and treatment models; optimizing the two-way referral system; enhancing screening for high-risk populations; leveraging digital health empowerment; and establishing a multi-dimensional quality evaluation system. These concerted actions are essential to build a comprehensive, high-quality COPD healthcare management system within primary care settings, ultimately contributing to the goals of the Healthy China Initiative (2019-2030).

Objective:To investigate the effect of phosphorus-containing replacement solution for the prevention and treatment of hypophosphatemia during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in critically ill patients with blood phosphorus level ≤1.45 mmol/L, and to provide clinical reference.Methods:It was a historical prospective cohort study. The critically ill patients receiving CRRT with blood phosphorus ≤ 1.45 mmol/L in the intensive care unit of Henan Provincial People's Hospital from October 2021 to January 2023 and from April 2023 to January 2024 was selected as the study subjects. The patients were divided into test group (from April 2023 to January 2024) and control group (from October 2021 to January 2023) according to whether phosphate (1.0 mmol/L) was added to the replacement solution during CRRT, and the differences of clinical data before and after CRRT between the two groups were compared. The patients were divided into hypophosphatemia group and non-hypophosphatemia group according to whether blood phosphorus < 0.81 mmol/L within 24 h after the end of CRRT, and the differences of clinical data between the two groups were compared. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the related factors of hypophosphatemia.Results:A total of 149 critically ill patients with blood phosphorus level ≤1.45 mmol/L undergoing CRRT were enrolled in the study, with age of 64(47, 75) years and 87 males (58.4%). Among 149 patients, 84(56.4%) had hypophosphatemia after CRRT, and no hyperphosphatemia occurred. The incidence of hypophosphatemia in test group and control group was 40.0% (30/75) and 73.0% (54/74), respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in baseline clinical data before CRRT between test group and control group (all P>0.05). C-reactive protein ( Z=-3.356, P=0.001), blood calcium ( Z=-3.835, P<0.001) and proportion of hypophosphatemia ( χ2=16.467, P<0.001) in the test group were lower than those in the control group, and blood phosphorus ( Z=3.886, P<0.001) in the test group was higher than that in the control group within 24 h after CRRT. Compared with non-hypophosphatemia group, the proportion of parenteral nutrition ( χ2=6.802, P=0.009) and blood calcium within 24 h after CRRT ( Z=-2.515, P=0.012) in the hypophosphatemia group were higher, and blood phosphorus within 24 h after CRRT ( Z=-10.451, P<0.001), blood phosphorus after 24 h after CRRT treatment ( Z=-5.331, P<0.001) and the proportion of applied replacement solution containing phosphorus ( χ2=16.467, P<0.001) in the hypophosphatemia group were lower. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that parenteral nutrition ( OR=2.521, 95% CI 1.228-5.175, P=0.012) and application of phosphorus- containing replacement solution ( OR=0.241, 95% CI 0.119-0.491, P<0.001) were independent relevant factors of hypophosphatemia after CRRT in the whole cohort of patients. Conclusions:The application of phosphorus-containing replacement solution in critically ill patients with blood phosphorus level ≤1.45 mmol/L undergoing CRRT is safe and effective, and the incidence of hypophosphatemia is low. Application of phosphorus-containing replacement solution in critically ill patients with blood phosphorus level ≤1.45 mmol/L undergoing CRRT can reduce the incidence risk of hypophosphatemia after CRRT.
