Coronary heart disease (CHD) has a distinct circadian rhythmicity in its onset, which is closely related to the waxing and waning of qi and blood in the channel passages of the human body. Grounded in the circadian rhythm theory of "correspondence between heaven and humankind", this paper explores the pathogenic evolution rules of qi-blood disharmony, channel obstruction, interacting as cause and effect with circadian rhythm disorders in CHD. Clinically, CHD can be observed to attack in the early morning, at night, in the afternoon, and at fixed or unfixed circadian intervals. The pathogenesis rhythms at different time nodes can correspondingly reflect the susceptibility tendencies and pathological stress responses of the human body to core pathogeneses such as yang deficiency with cold congelation, yin deficiency with yang floating, qi and yin deficiency, and liver constraint with qi stagnation under specific temporal states. Treatment should be adapted to the season and time, regulating yin and yang in accordance with biological rhythms. It is recommended to regulate qi during the daytime by promoting ascending and dispersing to unblock the channel passages, and select the appropriate timing for administration to harness natural timing. At the Mao (卯) hour, yang ascends while yin descends, and taking medication at this time conforms to the ascending of yang qi. At the Wu (午) hour, the heart meridian is active, and taking medication at this time warms the channel passages and assists heart yang, which can be treated with modified Buzhong Yiqi Decoction (补中益气汤) or Shengyang Yiwei Decoction (升阳益胃汤). At night, blood should be harmonized, when the channel passages are unblocked through nourishing, restraining, and searching, with Lianmei Decoction (连梅汤) combined with Dahuang Zhechong Pill (大黄䗪虫丸). Following the temporal rhythm, the focus is put on the transitional time of day and night and the four seasons to treat disease before it arises, resonating and corresponding with the natural rhythm.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective:To describe the current status and research methods of external validation studies of risk prediction models conducted by nursing scholars in China.Methods:Using the search terms "predictive model, external validation, nursing, risk prediction, external validation, nursing" this study searched eight databases (China Biology Medicine disc, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP, Embase, PubMed, CINAHL, and Web of Science) for studies published up to June 2023. Literature was imported into EndNote software for organization and deduplication. Two researchers independently conducted initial and secondary screenings by reading the titles, abstracts, and full texts of studies according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Descriptive analysis was conducted on the included studies under the framework of the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) scoping review methodology.Results:A total of 70 studies (15 dissertations and 55 journal articles), primarily published from 2021 to 2023, were included. Among 246 risk prediction models constructed by nurses, 28.5% (70/246) underwent external validation. The models focused on issues such as infection, cognitive impairment, skin injury, thrombosis, and malnutrition. Most studies were conducted in single-center settings (71.4%, 50/70), with temporal validation being the most common type (67.1%, 47/70). The majority of models were presented as nomograms, though some studies had methodological issues in validation.Conclusions:In recent years, new prediction models for specific diseases or endpoints have continued to emerge from nursing research in China, yet few have undergone external validation for clinical application, and the quality and methods of validation require improvement. Future researchers should standardize and strengthen the external validation and optimization of risk prediction models, focusing on clinical applicability to enhance the practical value of these models.
