MethodsThe composition， dosage， decocting methods， usage， and other key information of Xieqingwan in ancient traditional Chinese medicine books were collected and analyzed by means of literature research and metrological methods. The modern clinical application of Xieqingwan was summarized. ResultsA total of 42 pieces of effective data involving 32 ancient traditional Chinese medicine books were collected. Xieqingwan was first recorded in Xiaoer Yaozheng Zhijue. The drug origin of this formula is basically clear in the ancient traditional Chinese medicine books. The modern drug usage and decocting method were as follows： Angelicae Sinensis Radix， Gentianae Radix et Rhizoma， Chuanxiong Rhizoma， Gardenia seeds， Radix et Rhizoma Rhei， Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix， and Saposhnikoviae Radix were grounded to fine powder， decocted with honey， and finally formed into pills with the size of a chicken head （1.5 g）. It was suggested that half a pill or one pill were taken for one dose with warm Lophatheri decoction and sugar. The indications and clinical application had developed from the recordings in Xiaoer Yaozheng Zhijue and evolved from pediatrics to ophthalmic otolaryngology， neurology， dermatology， digestion， and respiratory diseases. The main pathogenesis of these diseases is heat in the liver meridian and is treated. The effect of Xieqingwan is "clearing away heat and toxicity， removing fire and relaxing the bowels， and dispersing swelling and relieving pain". It is recommended to use the corresponding preparation methods in the 2020 Edition of Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China. Modern clinical studies are centered around the clinical application of Xieqingwan， which is often modified and used in treating Tourette syndrome， herpes， febrile convulsion， sleepwalking， and insomnia. ConclusionThis paper conducts a thorough textual research of the key information of Xieqingwan， induces its historic evolution， and confirms its key information， so as to provide a reference for the future development of Xieqingwan.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of menopausal syndrome among postmenopausal women in Pan'an County, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide the basis for guiding the health management of postmenopausal women. Methods: From May 2023 to April 2024, the postmenopausal women aged 40 to 69 years in Pan'an County were selected using the random cluster sampling method. Demographic information, lifestyle and prevalence of gynecological diseases were collected through questionnaire surveys. The prevalence of menopausal syndrome was assessed by modified Kupperman Score Scale. Factors affecting menopausal syndrome were analyzed by a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 816 postmenopausal women were surveyed, with an mean age of (57.63±2.92) years and a mean natural menopause age of (49.85±2.13) years. There were 574 cases with menopausal syndrome, with a prevalence of 70.34%. Flashes and sweating, insomnia and irritability were common symptoms, accounting for 62.87%, 47.43% and 41.18%, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that monthly personal income of ≤5 000 yuan (<3 000 yuan, OR=3.124, 95%CI: 1.829-5.335; 3 000-5 000 yuan, OR=2.399, 95%CI: 1.370-4.201) and having gynecological diseases (OR=1.970, 95%CI: 1.292-3.004) were associated with a higher risk of menopausal syndrome, while average (OR=0.141, 95%CI: 0.072-0.276) or sufficient sleep quality (OR=0.095, 95%CI: 0.049-0.185) were associated with a lower risk of menopausal syndrome. Conclusion The prevalence of menopausal syndrome among postmenopausal women in Pan'an County is relatively high, and is mainly influenced by personal economic status, sleep quality and the presence of gynecological diseases.

OBJECTIVE To establish population pharmacokinetic model of levetiracetam （Lev） for Chinese patients with post- stroke epilepsy （PSE）， and provide reference for formulating individualized dosing regimens for Lev therapy in this specific population. METHODS Blood concentration data and clinical diagnosis and treatment information of PSE patients meeting the inclusion criteria were retrospectively collected and divided into model group and validation group at an 8∶2 ratio using a random number method. Based on the model group data， a population pharmacokinetic model was developed using nonlinear mixed-effects modeling. Internal evaluation was performed through goodness-of-fit tests and bootstrap analysis， while external validation was conducted using the validation group data. RESULTS A total of 75 blood concentration measurements from 70 PSE patients were collected， with 60 measurements from 55 patients used for model development and 15 measurements from 15 patients reserved for external validation. The final model estimated a population typical value of clearance at 2.98 L/h. Estimated glomerular filtration rate， daily dose， and homocysteine level significantly influenced clearance of Lev （P＜0.01）. The model demonstrated satisfactory predictive performance， as evidenced by goodness-of-fit tests， bootstrap analysis， and external validation results. CONCLUSIONS Daily dose， estimated glomerular filtration rate， and homocysteine level are identified as significant covariates influencing Lev clearance in Chinese PSE patients. When making clinical decisions， comprehensive consideration should be given to the patient’s treatment response， physiological and pathological conditions， and the occurrence of adverse reactions， etc. The dosage of Lev should be adjusted based on the results of population pharmacokinetic model.

[Objective] To obtain accurate data on alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels among blood donors in China and to explore the necessity of adjusting the qualification criteria for ALT. [Methods] A collaborative study was conducted involving 26 blood centers and 7 central blood stations with an annual testing volume exceeding 100 000 samples. Between December 1 and 15, 2024, pre-donation ALT testing was suspended for 1-2 days for all whole blood donations. ALT levels were measured only post-donation using standard laboratory equipment and reagents. All transfusion-transmitted infectious disease-related serological and nucleic acid testing, including hepatitis E virus (HEV) RNA testing, were performed. Within one week of testing completion, anonymized data on basic donor information, routine test results, and HEV RNA results were collected and statistically analyzed. [Results] A total of 21 345 blood donors were included in the study, with an ALT disqualification rate of 7.6% (1 623/21 345). The disqualification rate was 9.6% (1 453/15 205) for males and 2.8% (170/6 140) for females. There were significant regional variations in both the disqualification rates and levels of ALT, with Shaanxi Province exhibiting the highest disqualification rate (12.3%, 87/710) and Yunnan Province the lowest (2.9%, 19/652). Among the provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities), Beijing recorded the lowest ALT levels. ALT levels varied across different age groups and genders. Among all samples tested by HEV RNA, the HEV RNA positive rate was 0.29‰ (6/21 003). HCV infection was found to directly affect ALT levels, while HBV, HIV, syphilis, and HEV infections did not significantly impact ALT disqualification rates. It is recommended to adjust the ALT qualification criteria to twice the upper limit of the clinical reference range, which would increase the number of eligible blood donations by 6.61% (1 293/19 550). [Conclusion] In China, the ALT levels of blood donors are correlated with gender, age, geographical region, and HCV infection status. Appropriately raising the ALT eligibility criteria to ≤100 U/L for male donors and ≤80 U/L for female donors could expand the pool of eligible donors and reduce the blood discard rate while ensuring blood safety.

This article provides an interpretation of TRIPOD-LLM’s development methods, primary content, scope, and the specific details of its items. The goal is to help researchers, clinicians, editors, and healthcare decision-makers to deeply understand and correctly apply TRIPOD-LLM, thereby improving the quality and transparency of LLM medical research reporting and promoting the standardized and ethical integration of LLM into healthcare.

Background Water serves as an indispensable resource for human survival and constitutes one of the primary means through which humans are exposed to environmental chemicals. Consequently, the safety of drinking water is critical to safeguarding public health. Objective To analyze the levels of the 10 metal/metalloid indicators [Al, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Cr(VI), Pb, and Hg] in drinking water from a region of the Fuchun River Basin, and to evaluate the health risks in drinking water through oral ingestion. Methods In accordance with the national Standard Examination Method for Drinking Water – Part 2: Collection and Preservation of Water Samples (GB/T 5750-2006 and GB/T 5750-2023), a total of 2016 drinking water samples were collected from urban and rural water supply systems in a region of the Fuchun Basin from 2017 to 2024. Two batches of water samples were collected annually during the dry and wet seasons, with each batch comprising 72 samples from the urban water supply system and 54 samples from the rural water supply system. These samples were analyzed according to the Standard Examination Method for Drinking Water – Part 6: Metal and Metalloid Indicators (GB/T 5750-2006 and GB/T 5750-2023) and the results were compared with the limits specified in the Standards for Drinking Water Quality (GB 5749-2022). Health risks were evaluated using the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) health risk assessment model. Results All tested metal/metalloid elements in the drinking water samples of the area met the national standards. The results of risk assessment showed that the non-carcinogenic risks associated with oral intake of drinking water, ranked from highest to lowest, were as follows: As>Cr(VI)>Pb>Cd>Hg>Mn>Cu>Zn>Fe>Al, with values of 4.55×10⁻², 2.79×10⁻², 2.06×10⁻², 1.20×10⁻², 4.95×10⁻³, 4.58×10⁻³, 2.85×10⁻³, 1.95×10⁻³, 1.52×10⁻³, and 9.21×10⁻⁴, respectively. The non-carcinogenic risk of each indicator was less than 1, which suggested no potential risk to population health. The carcinogenic risks ranked as Cr(VI)>As>Cd>Pb, with values of 4.18×10⁻⁵, 2.05×10⁻⁵, 3.85×10⁻⁶, and 2.45×10⁻⁷, respectively. The carcinogenic risks of Cr(VI), As, and Cd were between 10⁻⁶ and 10⁻⁴, which suggested an acceptable carcinogenic risk, while the carcinogenic risk of Pb was relatively negligible. Children's total non-carcinogenic/total carcinogenic risks were comparable to those of adult males, both higher than those of adult females. Additionally, rural areas exhibited higher non-carcinogenic/carcinogenic risks for Cr(VI), while those risks for As and Pb were lower than those in urban water samples, and those risks for Cd were comparable between the two. Conclusion The concentrations of the 10 metal/metalloid indicators in drinking water from the studied region in the Fuchun River Basin comply with the national standards from 2017 to 2024. There is a certain carcinogenic risk associated with oral intake of drinking water, but it is still within the acceptable range. In terms of non-carcinogenic risk, no potential threat to population health is anticipated.

The theory of "yin-yang five-state people" in The Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor （《黄帝内经》） is based on the different forms， personality， psychology and behavioural characteristics of the crowd for typing the "five-state people"， which embodies the ideas of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） of the correspondence between human beings and nature， the unity of body and spirit， and tailored to suit the needs of the individual， and has important guiding significance for modern clinical application and scientific research. Elderly people are prone to mental and physical illnesses due to original qi deficiency， easy injury of emotions， and different personalities. According to the physiological and pathological characteristics of the elderly， the prevention and treatment of psychosomatic diseases in the elderly are guided by the theory of "yin-yang five-state people"， which analyses the corresponding personality and psychological characteristics of typical "five-state people" （i.e.， taiyang， shaoyang， taiyin， shaoyin， and yin-yang balance） under the conditions of emotional stimulation. This study explored the close relationship with the pathogenesis and disease tendency of psychosomatic diseases in the elderly， and put forward the corresponding ideas of prevention and treatment， stressing the importance of the psychological factors， regulating body and spirit， providing a new perspective for the prevention and treatment of psychosomatic diseases of the elderly in clinic.

Postoperative pain seriously affects the recovery process of patients, resulting in prolonged hospital stay and increased care costs. Appropriate application of patient-controlled analgesia devices can effectively relieve perioperative acute pain. In 1994 patient-controlled analgesia began to be used in Peking Union Medical College Hospital, and the Acute Pain Service Working Group was established in 2004. With the cooperation of anesthesiologists and specialist nurses, the group jointly has implemented the whole process and standardized management based on patient-controlled analgesia, and constantly improved and innovated working methods, laying a solid foundation for the development of postoperative pain management. This paper systematically reviews and summarizes the work from the aspects of clinical focus, nursing management experience, promotion and dissemination of pain treatment concepts, and development of acute pain service model under the new situation, with the hope of providing valuable reference for comprehensively strengthening pain management in the process of diagnosis and treatment, and enhancing patients' satisfaction with perioperative analgesia services.
