Childhood simple obesity has become a significant public health issue in China. Modern medicine primarily relies on lifestyle interventions and often suffers from poor long-term compliance， while pharmacological options are limited and associated with potential adverse effects. Traditional Chinese Medicine （TCM） has a long history in the prevention and management of this condition， demonstrating eight distinct advantages， including systematic theoretical foundation， diversified therapeutic approaches， definite therapeutic efficacy， high safety profile， good patient compliance， comprehensive intervention strategies， emphasis on prevention， and stepwise treatment protocols. Additionally， TCM is characterized by six distinctive features： the use of natural medicinal substances， non-invasive external therapies， integration of medicinal dietetics， simple exercise regimens， precise syndrome differentiation， and diverse dosage forms. By combining internal and external treatments， TCM facilitates individualized regimen adjustment and holistic regulation， demonstrating remarkable effects in improving obesity-related metabolic indicators， regulating constitutional imbalance， and promoting healthy behaviors. However， challenges remain， such as inconsistent operational standards， insufficient high-quality clinical evidence， and a gap between basic research and clinical application. Future efforts should focus on accelerating the standardization of TCM diagnosis and treatment， conducting multicenter randomized controlled trials， and fostering interdisciplinary integration， so as to enhance the scientific validity and international recognition of TCM in the prevention and treatment of childhood obesity.

Symptom and syndrome efficacy evaluation scales are indispensable tools for clinical efficacy assessment in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， and hold significant value at all stages of new drug research development for spleen and stomach diseases. These scales can provide scientific basis for clinical positioning， efficacy evaluation， and expansion of indications of new drugs. By analyzing the current hotspots and difficulties in research， this study aims to explore the important significance of these scales in the development of new drugs for spleen and stomach diseases， summarize the domestic research progress， and conduct comparative analyses with international studies. Future development trends are also discussed in order to promote the application of symptom and syndrome efficacy evaluation scales in the development of new drugs for spleen and stomach diseases and to advance the moder-nization process of TCM.

ObjectiveThis paper aims to observe the syndrome improvement and negative antigen conversion rate of Qingxuan Daozhi formula in the treatment of influenza in children （heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome）. MethodsThrough a multi-center randomized controlled methodology design，confirmed influenza cases were collected from October 2022 to April 2023 in the pediatrics department of eight hospitals，such as Dongfang Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. A total of 180 children with influenza and heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome conforming to the standard were recruited through the clinic. The sick children meeting the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into groups by a block-randomized method. The children in the experimental group were treated with Qingxuan Daozhi formula for five days，and those in the control group were treated with Oseltamivir Phosphate Granules for five days. The primary efficacy indicator was the negative conversion rate of influenza antigen detection. Secondary efficacy indicators were the Canadian acute respiratory illness and flu scale （CARIFS） and the incidence of complications，severe cases， and critical cases. Follow-up observation was conducted on the day of enrollment，48 hours after medication，72 hours after medication， and （6+1） d after medication. ResultsOne hundred and eighty participants were randomly assigned to the experimental group （90 cases） or the control group （90 cases）. All participants were followed up during the study. Comparison of influenza antigen detection results in the primary efficacy indicators showed that the average time of negative influenza antigen conversion in the experimental group was （5.29±1.25） d，and that in the control group was （5.40±1.68） d，without a statistically significant difference. After five days of intervention，52 cases in the experimental group and 51 cases in the control group converted to negative，without a statistically significant difference. CARIFS score results in the secondary efficacy indicators showed that during 72 hours after intervention，there were statistically significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in three dimensions， including headache，muscle soreness， and the need for extra care （P<0.05）. On the （6+1） days after the intervention，the differences in both the experimental group and the control group were statistically significant in 10 dimensions， including sore throat，bad sleep，uncomfortable feeling，poor spirit and fatigue，crying more than usual，the need for extra care，symptom，function，influence on parents，and total score （P<0.05）. The comparison results within the group in the dimensional scores of symptom， function， and influence on parents，as well as the CARIFS total score showed that with the delay of follow-up time，scores of both groups decreased significantly，with a statistically significant difference （P<0.01）. Inter-group comparison results showed that the mean score of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group at the time of enrollment. With the progress of intervention，the score of the experimental group was significantly decreased compared with that of the control group. At the end of follow-up，the mean score of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group，with no statistically significant difference. In terms of the incidence of complications，severe cases， and critical cases， there were no complications，severe cases， and critical cases in the two groups，without a statistically significant difference. ConclusionThe symptom improvement effect and negative antigen conversion rate of Qingxuan Daozhi formula in the treatment of influenza in children （heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome） are not inferior to Oseltamivir Phosphate granules， and children's acceptance is better. It can be more widely used in clinical treatment of influenza in children （heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome）.

Background: Malignant vasovagal syncope (VVS) is characterized by cardiac arrest lasting more than 3 seconds during a syncope episode or head-up tilt test (HUTT). We aim to conduct a risk assessment for potential malignant VVS before the HUTT by using economic, simple and convenient demographic data, in order to prevent adverse outcomes for pediatric VVS.Purpose: To explore the correlation between demographic factors and pediatric malignant VVS, and verify the value of these factors in early risk assessment for malignant VVS before HUTT, so as to optimize test safety and reduce adverse events. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 3,734 children who were initially diagnosed with VVS due to unexplained syncope and presyncope. Finally, 122 children who met the diagnostic criteria for malignant VVS were included in the malignant VVS group, and 661 children who did not meet the criteria during the same period were matched as the control group. By analyzing demographic data and other factors, we attempted to clarify the association between these factors and malignant VVS. Results: Linear relationship: age and body mass index (BMI) have independent protective effects on malignant VVS. For every 1-year increase in age and every 1 kg/m2 increase in BMI, the risk of malignant VVS decreases by 12% and 9%, respectively. Nonlinear relationship: When the age is <12.9 years old, for every additional year of age, the risk of malignant VVS decreases by 20%. For ages 12.9 years and above, the efficacy is not significant. There is no significant nonlinear relationship between BMI and malignant VVS. Conclusion Age and BMI are independent protective factors for pediatric malignant VVS. Before the age of 12.9 years, the incidence of malignant VVS gradually decreases with the increase in age, and thereafter there is no significant impact.

ObjectiveTo analyze the composition of respiratory virus pathogen spectrum and epidemiological characteristics among adult influenza-like illness (ILI) cases in Putuo District of Shanghai from 2015 to 2024, to summarize the epidemic patterns of respiratory viruses across different time periods and populations, and to provide scientific evidence for the prevention and control of adult respiratory virus infections in Putuo District of Shanghai. MethodsSurveillance data of 2 273 adult ILI cases from sentinel hospitals under the comprehensive surveillance system for acute respiratory infections in Putuo District of Shanghai from 2015 to 2024 were retrospectively collected. Descriptive epidemiological methods were adopted to analyze the temporal and population distribution characteristics of respiratory viruses, including influenza virus (IFV), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), adenovirus (ADV), and human metapneumovirus (HMPV). The mixed infection status among different age groups was compared, and the distribution of influenza virus subtypes was described. SPSS 22.0 and WPS Office software were used for statistical analyses. ResultsThe overall detection rate of respiratory viruses in 2 273 adult ILI cases was 43.51%. The detection rate in females (45.48%) was significantly higher than that in males (41.25%), with statistical significance (χ²=4.113, P=0.043). Individuals aged 60 years old and above had the highest detection rate (47.41%) (χ²=8.430, P=0.014). The detection rates in winter (50.41%) and summer (48.42%) were higher than those in other seasons (χ²=47.028, P<0.001). The overall viral detection rate decreased after 2020 (χ²=208.411, P<0.001). Detection rates of various viruses varied by year, with IFV and ADV showing high rates from 2015 to 2019 (all P<0.001), while human coronavirus (HCoV) and rhinovirus/enterovirus (HRV/EV) exhibited higher rates from 2020 to 2022 (all P<0.001). Co-infection with IFV and HCoV was the most common, followed by co-infection with IFV and ADV, together accounting for 50.00% of all mixed infections. During the surveillance period, the detection rate of IFV was significantly higher than that of other respiratory viruses. Influenza B/Victoria lineage predominated in 2021, followed by successive predominance of influenza A(H1N1), A(H3N2), and the co-circulation of the two subtypes from 2022 to 2023. Influenza A(H1N1) re-emerged as the predominant subtype in the first half of 2024. ConclusionFrom 2015 to 2024, respiratory virus infections in adults prevailed in winter and summer, and people aged 60 years old and above were the key high-risk population. The detection rates of respiratory viruses declined after 2020. IFV was the predominant pathogen detected, and different influenza virus subtypes circulated alternately each year.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the molecular mechanism of Tiaozhong huashi decoction in improving gastroesophageal reflux disease （GERD） by regulating endoplasmic reticulum autophagy in rat esophageal interstitial cells of Cajal （ICC） through p62 signaling pathway.METHODS After establishing a rat GERD model via the weak acid intragastric administration and irregular diet， the rats were randomly divided into model group， western medicine group [1.56 mg/（kg·d） of mosapride， 3.125 mg/（kg·d） of lansoprazole] and low-， medium- and high-dose Tiaozhong huashi decoction [4.713， 9.425， 18.85 g/（kg·d）] groups. A blank group was also set up， with 8 rats in each group. The rats in each group were intragastrically administered with corresponding liquid or normal saline twice a day for 14 days. During the intervention period， the general conditions of rats’ hair， spirit， diet and defecation were observed. After the last gavage， the pathological changes of esophageal tissue and the ultrastructure of ICC were observed. The relative expression and positive expression levels of p62， autophagy-related protein 8 （ATG8）， 200 kDa FAK family kinase-interacting protein （FIP200） and Unc-51 like autophagy activating kinase 1 （ULK1） in esophageal tissue were detected.RESULTS Compared with the blank group， rats in the model group exhibited listlessness； thickening of the esophageal basal layer， elongation of lamina propria papillae with inflammatory cell infiltration； markedly dilated endoplasmic reticulum appearing as round vacuolar cisternae with ribosome detachment； and a small number of accumulated autophagosomes. The relative expression and positive expression levels of p62， ATG8， FIP200， and ULK1 were significantly decreased （ P ＜0.05）. Compared with the model group， the above pathological injuries in the medium- and high-dose Tiaozhong huashi decoction groups had all improved to varying degrees； the damaged endoplasmic reticulum structure was repaired， and no autophagosome accumulation was observed. In particular， the relative expression levels and positive expression levels of p62， ATG8， FIP200， and ULK1 in esophageal tissue of rats in the medium-dose Tiaozhong huashi decoction group were significantly increased （ P ＜0.05）.CONCLUSIONS Tiaozhong huashi decoction ameliorated esophageal mucosal injury in GERD rats， and its mechanism was possibly associated with activation of the p62 signaling pathway and restoration of the endoplasmic reticulum structure， morphology， and autophagic capacity of ICC.

Objective To compare the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting (MICS CABG) and traditional CABG in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods From 2019 to 2021, the patients who received CABG by the same medical group in the Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery Center of Beijing Anzhen Hospital were retrospectively enrolled. According to the surgery methods, the patients were divided into two groups: a MICS CABG group and a conventional group. The perioperative and postoperative follow-up data of patients were collected. The main observation results included all cause death events, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular, revascularization, and adverse wound healing. Results According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 140 patients were enrolled, including 66 patients in the MICS CABG group [56 males and 10 females, aged (61.83±8.94) years], and 74 patients in the conventional group [55 males and 19 females, aged (58.61±8.26) years]. Compared with the conventional group, patients in the MICS CABG group had longer median surgical time (4.50 h vs. 4.00 h, P=0.005), less intraoperative bleeding (600.00 mL vs. 700.00 mL, P=0.020), and a lower rate of secondary debridement and suturing of surgical wounds (4.5% vs. 16.2%, P=0.023). The median follow-up time was 2.54 years. There was no statistically significant difference in the cumulative incidence of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (7.6% vs. 5.4%), all-cause mortality (0.0% vs. 0.0%), myocardial infarction (3.0% vs. 2.7%), cerebrovascular events (4.5% vs. 2.7%), or revascularization (0.0% vs. 0.0%) between the two groups of patients during the postoperative follow-up (P>0.05). Conclusion MICS CABG can achieve the same revascularization effect as traditional CABG in patients with CHD and DM. MICS CABG can effectively reduce adverse clinical outcomes or complications such as adverse chest wound healing and slow postoperative recovery of body function in patients with DM.

Objective To investigate the current situation of frailty in patients with home peritoneal dialysis and analyze its influencing factors,so as to provide bases for early identification of high-risk groups and targeted clinical intervention.Methods From October to December 2024,205 home-based peritoneal dialysis patients under long-term follow-up at a tertiary A hospital in Zhongshan,Guangdong Province,were selected by convenience sampling.The General Information Questionnaire,Fried Phenotype Scale,Nutritional Risk Screening Tool,Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale,and Social Support Rating Scale were used to investigate the influencing factors of frailty in home-based peritoneal dialysis patients by ordinal logistic regression analysis.Results A total of 201 valid questionnaires were collected.The prevalence of frailty among home-based peritoneal dialysis patients was 24.3％,while 39.3％were in the pre-frailty stage,and 36.3％showed no frailty.0rdinal logistic regression analysis revealed that age,residence location,primary disease,sleep status,serum albumin concentration,and exercise self-efficacy level were influencing factors of frailty in the home peritoneal dialysis patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion The incidence of frailty in patients with home peritoneal dialysis is higher,and patients with advanced age,living in rural areas,other types of primary diseases,insomnia,low serum albumin concentration and low exercise self-efficacy are more likely to develop frailty.Specialist doctors and nurses of peritoneal dialysis should pay attention to the early screening of frailty in patients with peritoneal dialysis at home,and take personalized intervention measures to prevent or delay the occurrence of frailty according to the relevant risk factors.

Objective:Based on the best evidence, formulate the review indicators to promote the initiation and establishment of maternal lactation and carry out clinical review, analyze the barriers and promoting factors of the clinical application of evidence, and formulate countermeasures.Methods:Evidence-based nursing research was used to identify clinical problems, build evidence-based group, systematically search, evaluate and synthesize evidence. On September 1,2023 to December 31 in Affiliated Hospital of Jiangsu University document and delivery of maternal investigation, in Ottawa research application mode as a guide, based on the evidence to review indicators and review method, clear clinical status and evidence gap, combined with the stakeholders interview, using content analysis to analyze barriers and promoting factors, to formulate action countermeasures.Results:In this study, 140 pregnant women were finally included for clinical review, aged from 22 to 42 (30.13 ± 3.69) years. A total of 23 pieces of best evidence were incorporated, leading to the establishment of 29 review indicators. Among these, 20 review indicators showed compliance rates below 60%. The main obstacles based on the results of review and interviews with stakeholders: the evidence content covered perinatal stages but lacked specificity and practical applicability; nurses had insufficient knowledge and faced increased workloads; pregnant/postpartum women lacked essential knowledge and skills, with delayed resolution of lactation issues; the practice environment lacked evidence-based implementation protocols, specialized assessment tools, and professional lactation consultant teams, etc. Promoting factors: the project team had rich experience in evidence transformation; the reform aligned with national policies, high engagement from departmental leaders, and standardized management systems for evidence-based projects in the nursing department; strong motivation among pregnant/postpartum women; the hospital was an infant-friendly hospital with talents needed for evidence transformation.Conclusions:There is a big gap between the clinical status and the evidence of promoting the initiation and establishment of lactation, so nursing staff should make full use of the promoting factors and formulate countermeasures according to the obstacle factors, so as to provide reference for promoting the initiation of lactation and the establishment of relevant evidence to clinical transformation.

Objective:To reveal the relationship between fat mass and obesity associated (FTO) protein and the occurrence of diseases in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) combined with metabolic syndrome (MS).Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted, and general clinical data and laboratory test indicators of 50 PCOS patients (PCOS group) and 54 healthy individuals (control group) were collected from December 2023 to October 2024. The PCOS group was divided into the PCOS without MS subgroup (PCOS+nMS subgroup, n=25) and the PCOS with MS subgroup (PCOS+MS subgroup, n=25) based on whether MS was present or not. The expression level of serum FTO protein was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. The clinical data and metabolic characteristics of PCOS patients were analyzed, as well as the correlation between serum FTO protein level and the occurrence of PCOS with MS. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were drew to analyze the predictive ability of serum FTO protein level for PCOS combined MS, and the correlation between serum FTO protein level and metabolic status of PCOS patients was evaluated through logistic regression model. Results:The level of serum FTO protein in the PCOS group [57.42 (45.87, 68.53) μg/L], and PCOS+nMS subgroup [48.41 (37.84, 64.30) μg/L] was all significantly higher than that in the control [45.70 (36.41, 52.86) μg/L, P<0.001; adjusted P=0.016]. The expression level of serum FTO protein in PCOS+MS subgroup [60.31 (50.99, 72.28) μg/L] was significantly higher than that in PCOS+nMS subgroup (adjusted P=0.013) and the control (adjusted P<0.001). The serum FTO protein expression level in the PCOS group was significantly positively correlated with body mass index, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, homeostasis model to assess insulin resistance index (all P<0.05). The expression level of serum FTO protein had a certain predictive value for PCOS, with an area under the curve (AUC) value of 0.725 (95% CI: 0.627-0.824) and a better predictive value for the occurrence of MS in PCOS, with an AUC value of 0.869 (95% CI: 0.762-0.976) as shown by the ROC curve. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that in PCOS patients, the expression level of serum FTO protein had a significant positive effect on the coexistence of MS, ( OR=1.092,95% CI: 1.010-1.180, P=0.026). Conclusion:PCOS patients have higher serum FTO protein levels than healthy women, and PCOS patients with MS have higher serum FTO protein levels than those without MS. The serum FTO protein level has a good predictive value for the occurrence of PCOS and PCOS complicated with MS, and is an independent risk factor for the occurrence of MS in PCOS.
