With the rapid advancement of hemodynamic indices and monitoring technologies, their classification methods and application processes have become increasingly complex. Currently, no unified standard hasbeen established, making it difficult to fully meet the clinical requirements for hemodynamic management. To assist in hemodynamic monitoring assessment and therapeutic decision-making in critically ill patients, the Critical Hemodynamic Therapy Collaborative Group, in conjunction with the Critical Ultrasound Study Group, has jointly developed the Standard for the Application of Hemodynamic Monitoring Techniques in Critical Care. The first part of this standard systematically categorizes hemodynamic indicators into flow indicators, pressure and its derivative indicators, and tissue perfusion indicators, while elaborating on the clinical application of each. The second part establishes a standardized clinical implementation pathway for hemodynamic monitoring. It proposes a tiered monitoring strategy-comprising basic, advanced, indication-specific, and special scenario monitoring-tailored to different clinical settings. It emphasizes the central role of critical care ultrasound across all levels of monitoring and establishes hemodynamic assessment standards for organs such as the brain, kidneys, and gastrointestinal tract. This standard aims to provide a unified framework for clinical practice, teaching, training, and research in critical care medicine, thereby promoting standardized development within the discipline.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical characteristics and risk factors of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia （MPP） in children based on a dual classification integrating imaging features and clinical severity. MethodsMedical records of 2 054 pediatric patients with MPP were retrospectively analyzed. The cohort was stratified into severe consolidation （n=253）， severe non-consolidation （n=118）， non-severe consolidation （n=393）， and non-severe non-consolidation groups （n=1 290） based on clinical and radiological findings. Inter group data and characteristics were compared and multiple regression analysis was conducted to construct a prediction model for severe consolidation group. ResultsSignificant differences were observed among the groups in terms of age， duration of fever， length of hospital stay， presence of pulmonary rales， inflammatory markers ［C-reactive protein （CRP） and lactate dehydrogenase （LDH）］， the use of hormones， and bronchoscopic treatment （all P < 0.05）. Compared with the severe non-consolidation group， non-severe consolidation group， and non-severe non-consolidation group， children in severe consolidation group exhibited the longest duration of fever ［8 （6， 11） days vs 6 （2， 9）， 7 （6， 9） and 6 （3， 8） days， respectively］ and the longest length of hospital stay ［7 （5， 8） days vs 6 （5， 8）， 6 （5， 8） and 6 （4， 7） days， respectively］. They also had the highest incidence of reduced breath sounds ［34 cases （13.4%） vs 2 cases （1.7%）， 29 cases （7.4%） and 13 cases （1.0%）， respectively］ and a substantially higher rate of coinfections， particularly viral infections ［63 cases （24.9%） vs 23 cases （19.5%）， 60 cases （15.3%） and 190 cases （14.7%）， respectively］. Multivariate analysis indicated that the independent risk factors for severe MPP （SMPP） were age > 4.5 years， length of hospital stay > 6.5 days， reduced breath sounds， neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio （NLR） > 1.66， LDH > 370.5 U/L， CRP > 9.5 mg/L， and coinfection with viruses. Reduced breath sounds （OR = 5.58， 95% CI： 2.45 - 12.69） and coinfection with bacteria （OR = 3.11， 95% CI： 1.43 - 6.75） were identified as the most significant risk factors for pulmonary consolidation in non-severe MPP children. Additionally， reduced breath sounds， coinfection with viruses， LDH > 365.5 U/L， and CRP > 32.1 mg/L were risk factors for severe pneumonia in children with pulmonary consolidation. For non-consolidation MPP children， the presence of pulmonary dry rales （OR = 2.28， 95% CI： 1.46 - 3.56） was the primary independent risk factor for the development of severe pneumonia. ConclusionThe chest imaging findings of MPP are associated with clinical severity， and the risk factor model constructed based on this imaging-clinical classification can assist in achieving precise hierarchical diagnosis and treatment in clinical practice.

Liver cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in the digestive system and ranks sixth among newly diagnosed malignant tumors worldwide. Transforming growth factor-β （TGF-β） regulates cell differentiation， proliferation， apoptosis， and other physiological and pathological mechanisms and exerts cancer-suppressive and pro-cancerous dual effects in the process of tumor development. In recent years， with the continuous exploration of the mechanism of liver cancer， it has been found that the conversion of the cancer-suppressive effect into a pro-cancerous effect of this pathway plays a key role in the development of liver cancer. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） provides a unique perspective for the classification， diagnosis， and treatment of liver cancer with its comprehensive regulatory effects of multi-components， multi-targets， and multi-pathways. This paper summarized that the cancer-suppressive mechanisms of the TGF-β signaling pathway included promoting cancer cell cycle arrest， apoptosis， autophagy， et al， while the pro-cancerous mechanisms included promoting cancer cell proliferation， invasion and metastasis， immunosuppression， angiogenesis， et al. The TCM compounds intervening this pathway were sorted out， including Jianpi Huayu compound， Fuyang Baoyuan compound， Yipi Yanggan compound， Fuzheng Jiedu compound， compound Astragalus and Salvia， Biejia Jianwan， Dahuang Zhechong pill， and Qingxiang powder. The single TCMs mainly included Schizocapsa plantaginea， Dendrobii Caulis， Gleditsia sinensis， and Dracaena cochinchinensis. The active ingredients of TCM are mainly concentrated on flavonoids， alkaloids， glycosides， phenolics， terpenoids， polysaccharides， and other kinds of compounds. At the same time， it summarized that the liver cancer inhibition mechanism of TCM by regulating this pathway mainly included promoting apoptosis of liver cancer cells， blocking the cell cycle， and inhibiting liver cancer cell proliferation， migration， invasion， angiogenesis， immune escape， etc. The mechanism aims to give full play to the advantages of TCM and precisely regulate the TGF-β signal， thereby exerting positive anti-tumor effects， opening up a new direction for the precise targeted treatment of liver cancer， and providing a scientific basis and a new strategy for the application of TCM in the treatment of liver cancer.

Background With China's socioeconomic development, significant lifestyle changes have occurred among occupational groups, leading to alterations in cardiovascular metabolic risk factors. However, few studies have examined the secular trends of these risk factors in China's working population. Objective To analyze the trends in cardiovascular metabolic risk factors among the occupational population in nine provinces of China from 2009 to 2018, and to explore the associations between different occupational types and these risk factors, along with their clustering patterns, thereby providing evidence for targeted interventions. Methods This study utilized data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) in 2009, 2015, and 2018. The dataset covered 13274 employed individuals aged 18-59 years. Only participants with complete blood test results and physical measurement data were included in the final analysis. The average annual percentage change (AAPC) in the positive rates of risk factors was calculated using Joinpoint regression to analyze temporal trends. Multinomial logistic regression and binary logistic regression models were employed to examine the cross-sectional associations between occupational types (categorized as white-collar workers, agricultural workers, blue-collar workers, service workers, and others) and nine cardiovascular metabolic risk factors and their clustering (defined as having ≥2 risk factors) in 2018. Results A total of 8451 participants were included. From 2009 to 2018, significant increasing trends (AAPC>0, P<0.05) were observed for overweight, obesity, central obesity, borderline elevated triglycerides (TG), borderline elevated to elevated total cholesterol (TC), borderline elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), elevated blood pressure and hypertension, diabetes. The most rapid increases were found for obesity (AAPC=6.07%, 95%CI: 3.42%, 8.88%), hypertension (AAPC=4.10%, 95%CI: 0.62%, 7.77%), and central obesity (AAPC=3.27%, 95%CI: 1.24%, 5.36%). The clustering rate of risk factors increased from 62.3% in 2009 to 73.2% in 2018 (AAPC=1.87%, 95%CI: 1.02%, 2.73%). The cross-sectional analysis in 2018, after adjusting for confounders, showed that compared with white-collar workers, blue-collar workers had a significantly lower risk of overweight (OR=0.67, 95%CI: 0.48, 0.95), central obesity (OR=0.65, 95%CI: 0.45, 0.92), and borderline high TG (OR=0.54, 95%CI: 0.35, 0.82). In contrast, agricultural workers had a higher risk of hypertension (OR=1.76, 95%CI: 1.14, 2.72). Conclusion Between 2009 and 2015, the burden of most cardiometabolic risk factors increases significantly among the Chinese occupational population, with the rate of increase slowing by 2018. Risks vary across occupational types, among which blue- collar workers report lower target outcomes. Targeted interventions focusing on the rapidly increasing risk factors and high-risk occupational groups are recommended.

Objective To summarize the clinical efficacy of modified Morrow surgery in the treatment of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy treated with modified Morrow surgery at Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University from 2020 to 2023. Results A total of 318 patients were enrolled, including 156 males and 162 females, with an average age of (55.6±13.1) years. Preoperative echocardiography showed a mean interventricular septal thickness of (18.1±3.8) mm, peak left ventricular outflow tract pressure difference of (86.4±24.9) mm Hg. The surgery time was (162.3±51.0) min, extracorporeal circulation time was (80.9±31.0) min, and aortic occlusion time was (44.8±20.8) min. After the surgery, transesophageal echocardiography showed that the interventricular septal thickness was (11.0±1.8) mm and left ventricular outflow tract peak pressure difference was (9.4±5.1) mm Hg. The incidence rate of postoperative complete left bundle branch block was 45.3%, Ⅲ° atrioventricular block was 3.8%, and postoperative newly developed atrial fibrillation was 3.1%. The postoperative hospital stay was (6.6±4.9) days, and one perioperative death occurred, with a mortality rate of 0.3%. The follow-up time was (10.3±9.4) months, during which the transthoracic echocardiography revealed a ventricular septal thickness of (12.9±2.9) mm and a peak left ventricular outflow tract pressure difference of (13.9±10.0) mm Hg. Conclusion The modified Morrow procedure for the treatment of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy is safe and effective, with good results in the short and medium term.

The development of intestinal-type gastric cancer follows a progression from non-atrophic gastritis — atrophic gastritis — intestinal metaplasia — epithelial dysplasia — gastric cancer，known as the " inflammation-cancer transformation. " Leveraging the advantages of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine，while collaborating to inhibit this transformation，remains a research focus and challenge. The incidence of gastric cancer in China has declined with the continuous elucidation of the mechanisms behind inflammation-cancer transformation，innovations in early screening and diagnosis techniques in Western medicine，the establishment of risk stratification and treatment systems，and effective interventions through traditional Chinese medicine. Leveraging the theoretical and practical advantages of the " preventing disease before it occurs" philosophy of traditional Chinese medicine，particularly the concept of " preventing transformation in existing diseases，" is essential. This approach emphasizes shifting the focus of prevention and treatment to earlier stages of disease progression. Developing more effective and reliable strategies and innovative drugs that block the dynamic progression of the " inflammation-cancer transformation" in gastric cancer remains a key goal. This article reviews the latest progress in both basic and clinical research in this field，the issues related to high-level clinical research in traditional Chinese medicine，the construction of integrated diagnosis and treatment pathways combining Chinese and Western medicine，the establishment of efficacy evaluation standards，and the elucidation of the integration mechanisms of the complex system of traditional Chinese medicine. It also explores research directions and solutions within the context of multidisciplinary collaboration to provide insights and references to block inflammation-cancer transformation and to construct a gastric cancer prevention and control system with Chinese characteristics，thereby further enhancing the level of gastric cancer prevention and control.

Zhusha Anshenwan is a classical traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） formula originating from LI Dongyuan's Treatise on the Differentiation of Endogenous and Exogenous Injuries （Nei Wai Shang Bian Huo Lun） of the Jin-Yuan period. It is composed of five medicinal ingredients： Cinnabaris （Zhusha）， Coptidis Rhizoma （Huanglian）， Angelicae Sinensis Radix （Danggui）， Rehmanniae Radix （Shengdihuang）， and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma （Gancao）. Under the guidance of TCM theory， this formula is used to treat syndromes of disturbed spirit， including insomnia， palpitations， and anxiety， caused by hyperactivity of heart fire and deficiency of Yin-blood， and it also exerts auxiliary anticonvulsant effects in epilepsy and related conditions. However， the potential neurotoxicity， hepatotoxicity， and nephrotoxicity of its monarch drug， Cinnabaris （mainly composed of mercuric sulfide， HgS）， together with the risk of in vivo accumulation， have rendered its clinical application controversial， and it has not yet been formally included in the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China. In addition， restrictions imposed by the Minamata Convention on Mercury have led to an increasing shortage of natural medicinal Cinnabaris resources， making the evaluation of the efficacy and safety of synthetic Cinnabaris particularly urgent. This contradiction highlights the complexity of safety evaluation for traditional medicines. Existing studies indicate that Zhusha Anshenwan exhibits definite pharmacological activities in calming the mind， improving sleep， and regulating emotional disorders. Moreover， other components of the formula may exert antagonistic effects on the toxicity of Cinnabaris， and reports of severe mercury poisoning caused by standardized clinical use of this prescription are extremely rare. Research suggests that other ingredients in the compound formula， such as Rehmanniae Radix， Coptidis Rhizoma， and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma， may effectively alleviate the hepatorenal toxicity of Cinnabaris through mechanisms including modulation of the gut microbiota， formation of mercury complexes， and direct protection of target organs. This article aims to systematically review the progress in pharmacodynamic research on Zhusha Anshenwan， to explore its mechanisms of action in depth， and to analyze the toxicokinetic characteristics and safety risks of Cinnabaris， as well as the scientific connotations of toxicity reduction and efficacy enhancement achieved through compound compatibility. In addition， it compares Zhusha Anshenwan with other commonly used sedative formulas， with the aim of providing a scientific basis and forward-looking perspectives for the safe and rational application and in-depth development of this classical prescription in a modern context， and of emphasizing the important value of holistic research on TCM compound formulas in addressing the challenges of single-component toxicity.

ObjectiveTo develop a standardized classification model for traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome patterns of mixed hemorrhoids using multi-center real-world data， and unveil their distribution patterns and core risk factors， thereby providing evidence-based support for standardizing TCM syndrome differentiation and implementing precision interventions. MethodsA multi-center cross-sectional study was conducted， enrolling 13 283 mixed hemorrhoid patients from eight hospitals in Jiangsu Province between September 1st， 2023 and December 31st， 2024. DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B and LLaMA-3.3 large language models （LLM） were integrated with latent class analysis （LCA） to perform unsupervised learning and latent class modeling of TCM symptomatology. Potential risk factors were screened via univariate analysis， followed by logistic regression to identify independent risk factors for each syndrome pattern. ResultsThe model's performance indicators were stable and reliable across different clinical data types，i.e. in the outpatient records， past medical history （F1=99.7%）， current medical history （F1=94.9%）， and specialist examination （F1=90.7%）； in inpatient records， past medical history （F1=98.2%）， current medical history （F1=91.2%）， specialist examination （F1=90.3%）， and discharge status （F1=90.6%）. Latent class mode-ling identified four core TCM syndrome patterns including spleen deficiency and qi sinking syndrome （915 cases， 6.89%）， damp-heat pouring downward syndrome （10 820 cases， 81.46%）， qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome （1252 cases， 9.43%）， and wind injuring intestinal collaterals syndrome （296 cases， 2.22%）， with respective latent class probabilities of 0.069， 0.815， 0.094， and 0.022. Logistic regression demonstrated that gender， age， disease duration， hypertension， diabetes， hyperlipidemia， constipation， smoking history， and alcohol consumption were independent risk factors for pattern differentiation （P＜0.05）. The efficacy validation evaluation revealed that the cure rates for patients with spleen deficiency and qi sinking syndrome and qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome were higher than those for patients with damp-heat pouring downward syndrome （adjusted P＜0.05）， with no statistically significant differences among other syndrome patterns. ConclusionDamp-heat pouring downward syndrome is the predominant syndrome in mixed hemorrhoids. Gender， age， disease duration， hypertension， diabetes， hyperlipi-demia， constipation， smoking history， and alcohol consumption are independent risk factors for the differentiation of syndrome types.

ObjectiveTo explore the effects of Jingui Shenqiwan （JSW） and Liuwei Dihuangwan （LDW） on the reproductive ability and brain function of normal mice and compare the actions of the two medications. MethodsSeven groups of female and male mice were divided at a ratio of 2∶1. Except for the control group， the other six groups were as follows： a group of both males and females receiving JSW （3.0 g·kg^-1）， a group of both males and females receiving LDW （4.5 g·kg^-1）， a group of males receiving water and females receiving JSW， a group of males receiving water while females receiving LDW， a group of females receiving water while males receiving JSW， and a group of females receiving water while males receiving LDW. Each group was administered the drug for 14 days and then caged together at a 2∶1 （female∶male） ratio to detect the number of pregnant mice and calculate the pregnancy rate. Pregnant mice continued receiving the drug until they naturally gave birth， which was followed by the observation of newborn mice， calculation of their average number， and the measurement of the offspring's preference for sugar water and neonatal recognition index. At the end of the experiment， the weights of the thymus and spleen were measured to calculate the organ coefficients， and mRNA or protein expression was analyzed in the brain and testes or ovaries. A 1% sucrose solution was used to examine the euphoria of their brain reward systems， while novel object recognition test （NOR） was applied to assess their memory capabilities. mRNA expression was detected using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） assay， and protein expression was analyzed with Western blot. ResultsCompared with the control group， oral administration of JSW to both male and female mice for 14 days significantly increased the pregnancy rate of female mice on day 2 after being caged together （P<0.05）， while LDW showed a trend but no statistical significance. Additionally， compared with the control group， JSW could upregulate the gene expression of gonadotropin-releasing hormone （GnRH） in the thalamus， as well as reproductive stem cell factor （SCF） and tyrosine kinase receptor （c-Kit） in the testes and reproductive stem cell marker mouse vasa homologue （MVH） in the ovaries， upregulate the expression of proteins influencing neuronal functional activity， such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor （BDNF）， in hippocampal neurons （P<0.05）， and enhance sucrose preference in male mice （P<0.05）. Compared with the control group， JSW significantly increased sucrose preference and novel object recognition index in offspring mice （P<0.05）， which was related to the upregulation of hippocampal dopamine D1 receptor （D1R） and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor （Nmdar） gene expression. Compared with the control group， both JSW and LDW could upregulate the protein expression of glucocorticoid receptor （GR）， BDNF， and tyrosine kinase receptor B （TrkB） in the hippocampus of offspring mice （P<0.05）. ConclusionJSW significantly enhances the reproductive ability of normal mice， which is not only related to the release of gonadotropin but also associated with its regulation of brain function. Additionally， JSW has a certain regulatory effect on the brain function of the offspring mice.
