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.

Acquired paralytic strabismus is a common neuromuscular disorder in adults,characterized by diplopia, visual confusion, impaired ocular motility, and ocular deviation, which severely affects the patient's quality of life and overall health. The disease has a complex etiology, encompassing multiple pathological mechanisms such as vascular pathologies, trauma, inflammation, neoplasms, and immune-related disorders. Treatment primarily focuses on addressing the underlying cause. While conventional Western approaches, such as medication and surgery, can alleviate symptoms, some carry the risk of adverse effects, and their long-term recurrence rates warrant careful consideration. Traditional Chinese medicine utilizes distinctive therapies such as herbal medicine, acupuncture, and other adjunctive therapies, which have shown promising therapeutic effects but are constrained by a lack of high-quality evidence from large-scale randomized controlled trials. This review systematically summarizes recent advances in the etiological classification and traditional Chinese and Western medical treatments of acquired paralytic strabismus. It innovatively summarizes the clinical features associated with different causes, analyzes current therapeutic strategies and research landscape, aiming to inform clinical practice and suggest future research directions.

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）.

Purpose: Lung cancer is frequently observed as a second primary malignancy following gastric cancer, yet the genetic causality between them remains uncertain. This study aims to evaluate the causal relationship between gastric and lung cancers using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Materials and Methods: Single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with gastric and lung cancers were selected from genome-wide association study in East Asian and European populations as instrumental variables. The causal effects between gastric and lung cancers were evaluated using univariable and multivariable MR analysis, with the inverse variance weighted (IVW) method serving as the primary criterion. Heterogeneity and sensitivity analyses were performed to ensure the robustness of the findings. Results: Univariable MR analysis demonstrated that genetic susceptibility to gastric cancer in the European population was significantly associated with an increased risk of lung cancer (IVW: odds ratio [OR], 1.285; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.072 to 1.541; p=6.83E-03), which was consistently validated in the East Asian population (IVW: OR, 1.356; 95% CI, 1.114 to 1.651; p=2.40E-03). Multivariable MR analysis further indicated that the significant positive causal relationship between gastric cancer and lung cancer persisted in both populations after adjusting for confounding factors (all p < 0.05). Conversely, no significant causal relationship was observed for the risk of developing gastric cancer following the diagnosis of lung cancer in either population (p > 0.05). Conclusion This study confirms that genetic susceptibility to gastric cancer increases the risk of lung cancer. This finding provides a theoretical basis for exploring the underlying biological mechanisms and suggests that enhancing lung cancer screening in patients with gastric cancer may be necessary to improve patient prognosis.

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 explore the barriers to nurses applying the best evidence for non-pharmacologic prophylactic management of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with multiple myeloma (MM), and to provide a basis for the development of clinical responses.Methods:A parallel mixed-methods study was conducted in January 2024 to facilitate the selection of nurses from the hematology department of Affiliated Hospital of Jiangsu University to conduct semi-structured in-depth interviews. Concurrently, convenience sampling was employed to select nursing staff from the same departineat for a quantitative questionnaire survey. The interview outlines based on the theoretical domains framework and the questionnaires based on the Barriers to the Application of the Evidence and Facilitators Scale. The questionnaire was developed based on the Barriers and Facilitators to Evidence Application Scale and combined with qualitative and quantitative analyses to derive barriers to nurses' implementation of best evidence.Results:The qualitative study conducted interviews with 9 female nurses in the hematology department, aged 25-49. The quantitative study surveyed 17 female nurses in the hematology department with an average age of (33.18 ± 9.09) years. Nurses scored high overall in evidence application (156.65 ± 20.09) points, with high scores on the organizational form dimension (34.47 ± 1.48) points, the evidence application leader dimension (44.24 ± 1.30) points, the nurses' team dimension (42.53 ± 1.41) points, and the implementation scenario dimension (11.18 ± 0.61) points, which suggests that nurses were process was well supported overall. Low scores on the evidence dimension (11.94 ± 0.91) points and patient dimension (12.41 ± 1.03) points indicated that nurses had barriers in knowledge acquisition and practical application. The results of qualitative interviews further revealed that nurses encourter multiple challenges when applying best evidence, including insufficient knowledge base, low professional identity within societym, absence of standardized departmental protocols, negative outcome expectations, and inadequate motivation coupled with ulcear objectives.Conclusions:There are multiple clinical factors affecting nurses' application of best evidence, and departments should propose targeted coping strategies based on the barrier factors to ensure the successful implementation of evidence-based practice changes, and thus advance the clinical application of best evidence for non-pharmacological prevention of VTE in MM patients.

Objective:To summarize the surgical strategies and to evaluate the clinical outcomes of up-per urinary tract reconstruction in patients with stone-related ureteral strictures.Methods:This retro-spective study included 71 patients diagnosed with ureteral strictures secondary to urinary stones who un-derwent upper urinary tract reconstructive surgery at Peking University First Hospital between March 2014 and November 2023.Patient data were collected,including demographic characteristics,clinical presen-tation,laboratory results,imaging findings,surgical procedures,and follow-up outcomes.Ureteral stric-tures were classified according to anatomical location into upper,middle,lower,or multiple segments.Surgical procedures were carried out depending on the stricture characteristics.Surgical success was de-fined as resolution or improvement of clinical symptoms,radiographic improvement or stabilization of hy-dronephrosis,and maintenance of normal and stable renal function.Results:Among the 71 patients,36(50.7％)had strictures in the upper ureter,9(12.7％)in the middle ureter,15(21.1％)in the lower ureter,and 11(15.5％)had multifocal ureteral strictures.The median stricture length was 5.0 cm(interquartile range:3.0-15.0 cm).Surgical approach selection was individualized based on the location and extent of the stricture.For upper ureteral strictures,the most frequently employed techniques were oral mucosal graft ureteroplasty(13/36,36.1％)and appendiceal flap ureteroplasty(8/36,22.2％).Other options included ureteroureterostomy and ileal ureter replacement for longer or more complex strictures.In middle ureteral strictures,treatment was stratified by length:balloon dilation(1/9,11.1％)and ureteroureterostomy(1/9,11.1％)were applied in shorter strictures,while oral mucosal graft ureteroplasty(3/9,33.3％)and ileal ureter replacement(4/9,44.4％)were reserved for longer segments.For lower ureteral strictures,ureteral reimplantation into the bladder was the most common approach(10/15,66.7％),often combined with a psoas hitch or Boari flap when necessary.All the patients with multiple segmental strictures underwent ileal ureter replacement due to the extensive nature of the disease.The median follow-up period was 14.2 months(range:6.1-107.1 months).During follow-up,69 of 71 patients(97.2％)achieved surgical success.Conclusion:Stone-related ure-teral strictures present with considerable heterogeneity in terms of anatomical location,length,and com-plexity.Careful preoperative evaluation and individualized surgical planning are critical to successful re-construction.With appropriate selection of surgical methods,favorable long-term clinical outcomes can be achieved in the majority of patients.

Visual system is a critical sensory system in humans and a vital component of the central nervous system, which is responsible for over 80% of external information acquisition.Visual function is a key indicator of overall health.With socioeconomic development, the public has higher expectations for eye health, shifting the focus of eye health initiatives from disease treatment to comprehensive public eye health.Key scientific challenges include how to effectively prevent, diagnose, and treat blindness and visual impairment at an early stage; how to enhance the overall visual quality of patients to ensure not just sight but clear and comfortable vision; and how to meet the public's diverse and multi-tiered eye health needs.Visual science is an interdisciplinary field exploring the development of the visual system, the mechanisms of vision, and brain-related perceptual, cognitive and behavioral processes involving sight.Prioritizing and advancing visual science research is of great significance for promoting comprehensive eye health and implementing the Healthy China Strategy.This article first outlines the concept and research significance of visual science.It then highlights the key scientific questions in visual science pertaining to several major eye diseases, such as myopia, amblyopia, cataract, fundus diseases, glaucoma, and corneal diseases, reviews the historical foundation of visual science research in China, selectively summarizes key achievements and ongoing progress in this field, analyzes the landscape and challenges faced by domestic research, and proposes, to this end, strategies to advance visual science in China.These recommendations are designed to promote visual science research in China and ultimately advance comprehensive eye health.

Objective:To systematically analyze the correlation between vault and its related factors following posterior chamber phakic implantable collamer lens (ICL) V4c implantation.Methods:Literature on factors related to vault height following ICL V4c implantation published from January 2011 to August 2022 was searched through PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Clinical Trials, China National Knowledge Network Infrastructure, VIP Network, Wanfang Data, China Biomedical Literature Database and China Clinical Trial Registry Database using the correlation coefficient method.This study complied with the Cochrane systematic review guidelines, and the study protocol was registered on the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews website.Stata 16.0 software was used to perform statistical analyses.Results:Twenty-one studies with 1 245 patients (1 978 eyes) were included.Meta-analysis results showed ICL size, anterior chamber depth (ACD), horizontal corneal diameter, axial length, pupil diameter and anterior chamber volume were positively correlated with vault ( r=0.42, 0.40, 0.29, 0.20, 0.31, 0.31; all P<0.05). Age, postoperative angle-to-angle distance, central corneal thickness, lens thickness and crystalline lens rise (CLR) were negatively correlated with vault height ( r=-0.20, -0.35, -0.12, -0.34, -0.56; all P<0.05). Subgroup analysis revealed that the vault height measured by Pentacam was 490.20 μm, which was 99.10 μm lower than 589.30 μm measured by optical coherence tomography.The vault measured more than 6 months after surgery was 513.90 μm, which was 13.50 μm lower than 527.40 μm measured within 1 month postoperatively. Conclusions:ICL size and ACD have a strong positive correlation with vault height, while CLR has a strong negative correlation with vault height.The vault height measured by Pentacam is lower than that measured by optical coherence tomography, and the vault height exhibits a gradual decline over time.

Objective:To investigate the epidemiological dynamics and spatiotemporal diffusion trend of brucellosis in China from 2010 to 2024.Methods:Data on reported human brucellosis cases in mainland China from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2024, were collected via the"China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention", including detailed information on the date of onset, gender, age, occupation, and residential address of the cases. The Joinpoint regression and spatial interpolation techniques were used to investigate the spatiotemporal dynamics and population distribution characteristics of human brucellosis in pastoral/semi-pastoral areas and other regions, as well as urban and rural areas, and explore the epidemic trends of the disease.Results:From 2010 to 2024, pastoral/semi-pastoral regions reported 252 094 brucellosis cases, with a mean annual incidence rate of 36.57±7.28 per 100 000. In contrast, other regions cumulatively recorded 519 748 cases during the same period, demonstrating a significantly lower mean annual incidence rate of 2.54±0.74 per 100 000. The incidence rate of human brucellosis in pastoral/semi-pastoral regions exhibited a declining-rebounding-declining trend. Specifically, the incidence rate decreased significantly from 2010 to 2017 (APC=-7.20; P<0.001) and increased notably from 2017 to 2021 (APC=18.00; P=0.015) with a decline again from 2021 to 2024 (APC=-7.53; P=0.027). In other regions, the incidence rate showed a fluctuating upward trend. Specifically, the incidence rate increased significantly from 2010 to 2015 (APC=20.37; P<0.001) and decreased notably from 2015 to 2018 (APC=-21.78; P<0.001), followed by an increase again from 2018 to 2024, a significant upward trend in incidence rate from 2018 to 2021 (APC=26.73; P<0.001) and a non-significant decline from 2021 to 2024 (APC=-0.99; P=0.735), resulting in the maintenance of a relatively high incidence level. Rural areas demonstrated significantly higher brucellosis incidence rates than urban settings (all P<0.001). Brucellosis exhibited a diffusion trend from the northern epidemic areas of China to neighboring regions, along with sporadic diffusion in southern regions between 2010 and 2024. The age structure of patients in pastoral/semi-pastoral areas differed significantly from that in other regions. Specifically, in pastoral/semi-pastoral areas, the incidence rate was higher among the 35-49 age groups, while in other regions, the incidence rate was higher among those aged 55-64. Conclusion:There are notable disparities in the incidence of human brucellosis between pastoral/semi-pastoral areas and other regions in China. Human brucellosis exhibits a diffusion trend from the northern epidemic areas of China to neighboring regions, along with sporadic diffusion in southern regions.
