Diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) is a common digestive system disease with high prevalence and recurrence rates for years, high treatment costs, and serious impacts on patients' quality of life and economic burden. Therefore, it is important to explore new and safe treatment methods. The pathogenesis of IBS-D is complex, in which the gut-brain axis is a key factor. The gut-brain axis, a bidirectional signaling pathway connecting the gastrointestinal tract and the central nervous system, regulates gastrointestinal motility, secretion, and immune responses, playing a key role in the occurrence and development of IBS-D. Up to now, antidiarrheal agents, probiotics, and neurotransmitter modulators are the main methods for the clinical treatment of IBS-D. Although they can partially curb the progression of this disease, the therapeutic effects remain to be improved. Studies have confirmed that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has significant advantages in the treatment of IBS-D since it can regulate the gut-brain axis via multiple pathways and targets to improve the gastrointestinal motility and strengthen immune defenses. However, there is a lack of systematic reviews on the regulation of the gut-brain axis by TCM in the treatment of IBS-D. Based on the review of IBS-D-related articles published in recent years, this paper systematically summarized the relationship between the gut-brain axis and IBS-D and the role of TCM in the treatment, providing new ideas for the treatment of IBS-D.

Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response syndrome caused by the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria. In addition to the manifestations of systemic inflammatory response syndrome and primary infection lesions, critical cases often have manifestations of organ hypoperfusion. The morbidity and mortality of sepsis have remained high in recent years, which seriously affect the quality of life of the patients. The pathogenesis of sepsis is complicated, in which uncontrollable inflammation is a key mechanism. The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) signaling pathway plays a key role in mediating inflammation in sepsis. The available therapies of sepsis mainly include resuscitation, anti-infection, vasoactive drugs, intensive insulin therapy, and organ support, which show limited effects of reducing the mortality. Therefore, finding new therapeutic drugs is a key problem to be solved in the clinical treatment of sepsis. In recent years, studies have shown that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can regulate the PI3K/Akt pathway via multiple pathways, multiple effects, and multiple targets to inhibit inflammation and curb the occurrence and development of sepsis, which has gradually become a hot spot in the prevention and treatment of sepsis. Moreover, studies have suggested that TCM has unique advantages in the treatment of sepsis. TCM can regulate the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway to inhibit inflammation, reduce oxidative stress, and control apoptosis in the prevention and treatment of sepsis. Despite the research progress, a systematic review remains to be performed regarding the TCM treatment of sepsis by regulating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. After reviewing relevant papers published in recent years, this study systematically summarizes the relationship between PI3K/Akt pathway and sepsis and the role of TCM in the treatment of sepsis, aiming to provide new ideas for the potential treatment of sepsis and the development of new drugs.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), as a treasure of the Chinese nation, plays a significant role in maintaining public health. In 2019, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council proposed for the first time the establishment of a TCM registration and evaluation evidence system that integrates TCM theory, "personal experience" and clinical trials (referred to as the "Three-in-One" System) to promote the inheritance and innovation of TCM. Subsequently, the National Medical Products Administration issued several guiding principles to advance the improvement and implementation of this system. Owing to the complexity of its implementation, there are still differing understandings within the TCM industry regarding the positioning of the "Three-in-One" Registration and Evaluation Evidence System, as well as the connotation and value orientation of the "personal experience." To address this, Academician WANG Qi, President of the TCM Association, China International Exchange and Promotion Association for Medical and Healthcare and TCM master, led a group of academicians, TCM masters, TCM pharmacology experts and clinical TCM experts to convene a "Seminar on Promoting the Implementation of the ′Three-in-One′ Registration and Evaluation Evidence System for Chinese Medicinals." Through extensive discussions, an expert consensus was formed, clarifying the different roles of the TCM theory, "personal experience" and clinical trials within the system. It was further emphasized that the "personal experience" is the core of this system, and its data should be derived from clinical practice scenarios. In the future, the improvement of this system will require collaborative efforts across multiple fields to promote the high-quality development of the Chinese medicinal industry.

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.
