To explore the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） and integrative TCM-Western medicine approaches in the treatment of diabetic microvascular complications （DMC）， refine key pathophysiological insights and treatment principles， and promote academic innovation and strategic research planning in the prevention and treatment of DMC. The 38th session of the Expert Salon on Diseases Responding Specifically to Traditional Chinese Medicine， hosted by the China Association of Chinese Medicine， was held in Beijing， 2024. Experts in TCM， Western medicine， and interdisciplinary fields convened to conduct a systematic discussion on the pathogenesis， diagnostic and treatment challenges， and mechanism research related to DMC， ultimately forming a consensus on key directions. Four major research recommendations were proposed. The first is addressing clinical bottlenecks in the prevention and control of DMC by optimizing TCM-based evidence evaluation systems. The second is refining TCM core pathogenesis across DMC stages and establishing corresponding "disease-pattern-time" framework. The third is innovating mechanism research strategies to facilitate a shift from holistic regulation to targeted intervention in TCM. The fourth is advancing interdisciplinary collaboration to enhance the role of TCM in new drug development， research prioritization， and guideline formulation. TCM and integrative approaches offer distinct advantages in managing DMC. With a focus on the diseases responding specifically to TCM， strengthening evidence-based support and mechanism interpretation and promoting the integration of clinical care and research innovation will provide strong momentum for the modernization of TCM and the advancement of national health strategies.

OBJECTIVE To observe the isolation rates and drug resistance rates of Acinetobacter baumannii strains isolated from intensive care unit(ICU)patients in 8 consecutive years so as to provide bases for reasonable clinical application of antibiotics and control of infections.METHODS The isolation rates and specimens from which the A.baumannii and carbapenem-resistant A.baumannii(CRAB)strains were isolated from ICU patients of the First People's Hospital of Changzhou between 2017 and 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.The trends of the drug resistance rates were observed.RESULTS Totally 2078(18.03％)strains of A.baumannii were isolated from the ICU patients from 2017 to 2024,and there was no significant difference in the changing trend among the years(x2=-1.573,P=0.116).Among the A.baumannii strains that were isolated from 2017 to 2024,58.08％were isolated from sputum,and 24.25％from lavage fluid specimens;the percentage of sputum specimens showed a downward trend in the 8 years(x2=-8.257,P＜0.001),while the percentage of lavage fluid speci-mens showed an upward trend(x2=12.964,P＜0.001).The isolation rate of the CRAB strains was 91.48％in 2017,92.61％in 2018,92.56％in 2019,82.53％in 2020,52.44％in 2021,showing a down-ward trend,and it began to rise in 2022-2024,there was significant difference(x2=-2.277,P=0.012).The isolation rates of the CRAB strains from both sputum and lavage fluid specimens showed downward trends and then upward trends(all P＜0.05).The drug resistance rates of the A.baumannii strains to piperacillin and minocycline showed slow upward trends,while the drug resistance rates to gentamicin and tigecycline showed downward trends,and there were significant differences(P＜0.05).The drug resistance rates of the A.bau-mannii strains to imipenem and meropenem remained more than 90％.CONCLUSIONS Acinetobacter spp is the major pathogen causing the hospital-acquired infection.The isolation rate of CRAB strains shows a downward trend then a upward trend in recent two years.It is necessary for the hospital to standardize the submission of spu-tum specimens and increase the aseptic submission.The A.baumannii strains show high drug resistance rates to the commonly used antibiotics.Polymyxin B,tigecycline and minocycline are the major antibiotics for treatment of CRAB infection.

Objective The sample hospital is currently in the exploration stage of creating patient satisfaction service un-der the one-hospital and multi-district management mode.In order to improve the overall feeling of patients in the process of hos-pital treatment,the application effect of the existing all-round full-cycle patient service intelligent management platform in the hos-pital is quantitatively evaluated,so as to better improve the service mode.Methods A survey was conducted to collect satisfac-tion data from two groups:the experimental group,which utilized the comprehensive and full-cycle patient service intelligent man-agement platform for diagnosis and treatment services,and the control group,which followed the conventional patient admission and discharge process.The work efficiency number was obtained and calculated through the background of the system,including the average time to handle hospitalization procedures,the average waiting time for examination,the average time to handle dis-charge procedures,the time spent on each follow-up visit and the response rate of follow-up patients.The data were analyzed sta-tistically.Results The work efficiency of the experimental group was significantly better than that of the control group,and the satisfaction of hospitalized patients and staff was higher than that of the control group.Conclusion The application of the com-prehensive and full-cycle patient service intelligent management platform can improve the satisfaction of patients and staff,opti-mize the efficiency of treatment,and better serve the management mode of one hospital and multiple districts.

Objective To investigate the number and categories of cognitive subtypes in individuals with First-Episode Schizophrenia(FES)and to explore the potential neurobiological sleep characteristics associated with these distinct cognitive subtypes.Methods The cognitive functions of 45 patients withFES and 40 healthy controls(HCs)were assessed using the MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery(MCCB).Latent profile analysis was employed to identify and classify the cognitive subtypes of FES patients.Furthermore,a full-night polysom-nographic recording was conducted to quantify the characteristics of sleep spindle waves.Subsequently,differ-ences in sleep spindle wave features among the identified cognitive subtypes of FES were analyzed and compared.Results Latent Profile Analysis identified two cognitive subtypes among FES patients:a subtype characterized by severe cognitive impairment(SIS,n=32)and another with relatively preserved cognitive function(CRP,n=13).Compared to healthy controls(HCs,n=40),FES patients exhibited increased spindle wave amplitude dur-ing both N2 and N3 sleep stages.Further analysis revealed that the spindle wave duration during the N2 stage was significantly longer in the SIS subtype compared to both CRP and HCs.Similarly,in the N3 stage,the spindle wave duration was longer in SIS than in CRP.Additionally,spindle wave frequency during the N3 stage was higher in both SIS and HCs compared to CRP.Conclusions The results of this study suggest that variations in the fre-quency and duration of spindle waves among different cognitive subtypes may serve as potential neurobiological markers for distinguishing FES cognitive subtypes.
