To thoroughly implement the strategic deployment outlined in the Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Promoting the Inheritance and Innovative Development of Traditional Chinese Medicine regarding research on dominant diseases of traditional Chinese medicine and to uphold the development philosophy of equal emphasis on traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine，the China Association of Chinese Medicine has fully played a leading academic role by systematically organizing and conducting a series of academic youth salons on clinical dominant diseases of traditional Chinese medicine. On September 13，2024，the 36^th Youth Salon on Clinical Dominant Diseases was successfully held in Nanjing，focusing on the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine and the integrative traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine in the diagnosis and treatment of erectile dysfunction （ED）. The conference brought together leading experts from traditional Chinese medicine，western medicine，and interdisciplinary fields，facilitating in-depth multidisciplinary discussions that led to key consensus on optimizing traditional Chinese medicine treatment protocols for ED，researching and developing new drugs of traditional Chinese medicine，and advancing interdisciplinary development in traditional Chinese medicine. This salon systematically sorted out the clinical strengths and distinctive features of traditional Chinese medicine in the diagnosis and treatment of ED. Based on current research foundations and clinical needs，it identified key directions for future scientific layout and scientific research tackling： （1） Standardization of syndrome differentiation system of traditional Chinese medicine for ED. （2） Optimization and standardization of intervention methods of integrated traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine. （3） High-quality clinical research guided by evidence-based medicine. （4） In-depth analysis of the pharmacological mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of ED. （5） Clinical translation and application promotion of new drugs of traditional Chinese medicine. （6） Interdisciplinary integration and innovation in traditional Chinese medicine. For each research direction，key focus areas，expected objectives，and clinical value were further refined，along with the establishment of a scientifically sound priority funding level evaluation system. Therefore，building on the series of salons on the ED-focused dominant diseases of traditional Chinese medicine，this paper provides standardized guidance for clinical practice of traditional Chinese medicine in ED management，effectively contributing to the high-quality development of traditional Chinese medicine. It serves as a valuable reference for national scientific and technological strategic layout， research and development decision-making in new drugs of traditional Chinese medicine，research topic planning，and clinical guideline formulation.

ObjectiveTo explore the differences in attention to the sub-dimensions of satisfaction with the quality of assistive devices among people with different self-care abilities in China, identify the key driving factors, and provide a basis for the precision design and service provision of assistive devices. MethodsBased on the 2023 national survey data, involving 14 030 people with functional impairments, self-care ability was taken as the core independent variable, eight sub-dimensions of satisfaction as dependent variables, and variables such as gender, age, educational level and residential type were controlled. Univariate analysis was performed using Chi-square test with Bonferroni correction, and a binary Logistic regression model was constructed to identify influencing factors. Meanwhile, reliability and validity tests, endogeneity tests (instrumental variable method and propensity score matching) and heterogeneity tests were conducted. ResultsAmong the eight satisfaction sub-dimensions, six presented significant inter-group differences, with Bonferroni correction (threshold = 0.00625). Following binary Logistic regression and endogeneity correction, significant inter-group heterogeneity was confirmed in dimensions such as size and shape. For the affordability dimension, the main effect of self-care ability was not statistically significant, yet prominent urban-rural heterogeneity was observed. Specifically, taking the fully independent (self-care) group as the reference, the fully dependent group attached significantly greater importance to safety (B = 0.253, P < 0.001), comfort (B = 0.153, P = 0.001) and ease of use (B = 0.316, P < 0.001); the partially dependent group showed the highest level of attention to lightweight (B = 0.094, P = 0.027) and durability (B = 0.254, P < 0.001); and the fully independent group demonstrated a relatively stronger preference for aesthetics. ConclusionStratified functional demands, driven by self-care ability, exist in the satisfaction of individuals with functional impairments with assistive devices in China. The policy formulation and product design of assistive devices should shift to a precision-oriented paradigm: prioritize the guarantee of safety, comfort and ease of use for fully dependent groups, optimize lightweight performance and durability for partially dependent groups, enhance aesthetics and social acceptance for fully independent groups, roll out price subsidy policies for urban price-sensitive groups, and strengthen the supply of core functional services for rural groups. This approach will comprehensively improve the adaptation effectiveness of assistive devices and the well-being of users.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Tangning Tongluo tablets in the treatment of nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy （DR）. MethodsFourteen research centers participated in this study， which spanned a time interval from September 2021 to May 2023. A total of 240 patients with nonproliferative DR were included and randomly assigned into an observation group （120 cases） and a control group （120 cases）. The observation group was treated with Tangning Tongluo tablets， and the control group with calcium dobesilate capsules. Both groups were treated for 24 consecutive weeks. The vision， DR progression rate， retinal microhemangioma， hemorrhage area， exudation area， glycosylated hemoglobin （HbA1c） level， and TCM syndrome score were assessed before and after treatment， and the safety was observed. ResultsThe vision changed in both groups after treatment （P<0.05）， and the observation group showed higher best corrected visual acuity （BCVA） than the control group （P<0.05）. The DR progression was slow with similar rates in the two groups. The fundus hemorrhage area and exudation area did not change significantly after treatment in both groups， while the observation group outperformed the control group in reducing the fundus hemorrhage area and exudation area. There was no significant difference in the number of microhemangiomas between the two groups before treatment. After treatment， the number of microhemangiomas decreased in both the observation group （Z=-1.437， P<0.05） and the control group （Z=-2.238， P<0.05）， and it showed no significant difference between the two groups. As the treatment time prolonged， the number of microhemangiomas gradually decreased in both groups. There was no significant difference in the HbA1c level between the two groups before treatment. After treatment， the decline in the HbA1c level showed no significant difference between the two groups. The TCM syndrome score did not have a statistically significant difference between the two groups before treatment. After treatment， neither the TCM syndrome score nor the response rate had significant difference between the two groups. With the extension of the treatment time， both groups showed amelioration of TCM syndrome compared with the baseline. ConclusionTangning Tongluo tablets are safe and effective in the treatment of nonproliferative DR， being capable of improving vision and reducing hemorrhage and exudation in the fundus.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the targeting effect of folic acid-modified crebanine nanoparticles （FA-Cre@PEG- PLGA NPs， hereinafter referred to as “NPs”） combined with ultrasound irradiation on M109 cells in vitro and in vivo after administration， and explore the anti-tumor mechanism. METHODS CCK-8 assay was used to detect the inhibitory effect of NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation on the proliferation of M109 cells， and the best ultrasound time was selected. Using human lung cancer A549 cells as a control， the targeting of NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation to M109 cells was evaluated by free folic acid blocking assay and cell uptake assay. The effects of NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation on the migration， invasion， apoptosis， cell cycle and reactive oxygen species （ROS） levels of M109 cells were detected by cell scratch test， Transwell chamber test and flow cytometry at 1 h after 958401536@qq.com administration； the changes of mitochondrial membrane potential （MMP） were observed by fluorescence inverted microscope. A mouse subcutaneous tumor model of M109 cells was constructed， and the in vivo tumor targeting of NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation was investigated by small animal in vivo imaging technology. RESULTS NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation could significantly inhibit the proliferation of M109 cells， and the optimal ultrasound time was 1 h after administration. The free folic acid could antagonize the inhibitory effect of NPs on the proliferation of M109 cells， and combined with ultrasound irradiation could partially reverse this antagonism. Compared with A549 cells， the uptake rate of NPs in M109 cells was significantly higher （P＜0.01）， and ultrasound irradiation could promote cellular uptake. NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation could inhibit the migration and invasion of M109 cells and block the cell cycle in the G0/G1 and G2/M phases. Compared with control group， the apoptosis rate of M109 cells and ROS level were increased significantly （P＜0.01）， while the MMP decreased significantly （P＜0.01） in the different concentration （100， 200， 300 μg/mL） groups of M109 cells. Compared with the mice in non-ultrasound group， the fluorescence intensity and tumor-targeting index of the tumor site in the 0 h ultrasound group were significantly enhanced （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation have a strong targeting effect on M109 cells in vitro and in vivo， the anti-tumor mechanism includes inhibiting cell migration and invasion， blocking cell cycle， and inducing apoptosis.

Objective:To analyze the differences in heart size，shape and function between fetuses with tetralogy of Fallot（TOF）and fetuses with malalignment ventricular septal defect（VSD）and pulmonary stenosis（PS）（named as，mild TOF）by fetal heart quantification（fetal HQ）and multi-parameter fetal echocardiography.Methods:From June 2021 to June 2023，50 fetuses with TOF（TOF group）diagnosed by fetal echocardiography at the Department of Diagnostic Ultrasound & Echocardiography Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital，Zhejiang University College of Medicine and 34 fetuses with VSD and PS matched to gestational age（mild TOF group）were retrospectively selected. Cardiovascular parameters were measured by 2D echocardiography，M-mode echocardiography and fetal HQ，including aortic dimension（AO）and its Z-score（AO Z-score），pulmonary artery diameter（PA）and its Z-score（PA Z-score），PA/AO ratio，main pulmonary artery diameter（MPA）and its Z-score（MPA Z-score），left pulmonary artery diameter（LPA）and its Z-score（LPA Z-score），right pulmonary artery diameter（RPA）and its Z-score（RPA Z-score），McGoon index（MGI），tricuspid annular diameter（TV）and its Z-score（TV Z-score），mitral annular diameter（MV）and its Z-score（MV Z-score），and MV/TV ratio. Measurements of global ventricular morphologic parameters included cardiac axis，left and right ventricular transverse diameters（LVW，RVW）and their ratio（LVW/RVW），left and right ventricular long diameters（LVL，RVL）and LVL/RVL ratio，left and right ventricular areas（LVA，RVA）and LVA/RVA ratio，global spherical index（GSI）and its Z-score，four chamber view transverse diameter（4CV-Width-ED），four chamber view end-diastolic longitudinal diameter（4CV-Length-ED），four chamber view end-diastolic area（4CV-Area-ED）. Measurements of left and right global ventricular functional parameters included fractional left ventricular and right ventricular area changes（LVFAC，RVFAC），left ventricular ejection fraction（LVEF），left ventricular and right ventricular global longitudinal strains（LVGLS，RVGLS）；end diastolic width diameter（Width-ED），SI and fractional shortening rate（FS）of 24 segments of left and right ventricles. The differences of the above parameters between the two groups were analyzed and compared，and the relationships between absolute values of GLS in left and right ventricles of TOF fetus and PA Z-score，MPA Z-score and PA/AO were analyzed. Binary Logistic regression model was used to select the best variables，and ROC curve was adopted to analyze the predictive values of ultrasonic parameter variables on TOF.Results:There were statistically significant differences in MV，TV，RVW，RVL，LVL，LVA，RVA，4CV-Length-ED，LVGLS，RVGLS，RVFAC，PA/AO，MPA，RPA，LPA，MGI，PA and PA Z-score between TOF group and mild TOF group（all P<0.05）. The Width-ED values of all segments of left ventricle were statistically different between TOF group and mild TOF group（all P<0.05）. There were statistical differences in SI between LV segments 4~6 and 8~24，and RV segments 1~21（all P<0.05）. The FS values between the 8th and 10th to 18th segments of RV revealed statistical differences（all P<0.05）. There were no statistical differences in the other parameters（all P>0.05）. The absolute value of LVGLS in TOF fetuses was positively correlated with PA Z-score，MPA Z-score and PA/AO（ r = 0.313，0.344，0.304，all P<0.05），and the absolute value of RVGLS was positively correlated with PA Z-score，MPA Z-score，and PA/AO（ r = 0.323，0.334，0.357，all P<0.05）. Binary Logistic regression model analysis confirmed that LVGLS，RVFAC and PA/AO were predictive variables. ROC curve analysis showed that the areas under the curves of LVGLS，RVFAC and PA/AO for predicting TOF were 0.746，0.693 and 0.849 respectively. The combined prediction efficiency was higher，and the area under the curve was 0.906. Conclusions:Fetal HQ combined with multiple fetal echocardiographic quantification indices can evaluate the differences in fetal heart size，shape and function between TOF and mild TOF. It is expected to provide important reference information in prenatal diagnosis and consultation for fetuses with TOF and mild TOF.

Objective:To study the cardiac morphology and function of fetuses with different types of complete transposition of the great arteries（cTGA）by using fetal heart quantification（fetal HQ）.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 50 fetuses diagnosed with cTGA through fetal echocardiography at Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital，Zhejiang University School of Medicine from July 2020 to December 2024. These cases were categorized into simple cTGA group（ n=31）and complex cTGA group（ n=19）based on the presence of concomitant cardiac anomalies. A control group of 160 normal fetuses with matched gestational ages was selected for comparison. Utilizing fetal HQ technology，the cardiac longitudinal diameter，transverse diameter，area，global sphericity index（GSI），left and right ventricular end-diastolic area（LVEDA，RVEDA），left and right ventricular fractional area change（LVFAC，RVFAC），left and right ventricular global longitudinal strain（LVGLS，RVGLS），and segmental sphericity index of 24 segments for both left and right ventricles（LVSI，RVSI）were measured. The analysis focused on comparing the differences among the simple cTGA group，complex cTGA group，and the control group. Results:Compared to the control group，the simple cTGA group exhibited significantly lower fetal GSI，LVEDA，RVFAC，and RVGLS（all P<0.05）. Statistically significant differences were observed in LVSI segments 1-4 and 10-17，as well as RVSI segments 1-7，9，and 15-23 compared to the control group（all P<0.05）. In comparison with the control group，the complex cTGA group demonstrated significantly reduced fetal GSI，LVFAC，LVGLS，RVFAC，and RVGLS（all P<0.05）. Significant differences were noted in LVSI segments 5-8 and 10-14，along with RVSI segments 1-14 and 24 compared to the control group（all P<0.05）. When compared to the simple cTGA group，the complex cTGA group showed significantly lower LVFAC，LVGLS，RVFAC，and RVGLS（all P<0.05），while GSI and LVEDA were significantly higher（all P<0.05）. Statistically significant differences were observed in LVSI segments 3-4，6-8，and 17，as well as RVSI segments 10-19 between the complex cTGA group and the simple cTGA group（all P<0.05）. Conclusions:The comprehensive parameters provided by Fetal HQ facilitate the assessment of cardiac morphology and function in cTGA fetuses，enabling a deeper understanding of the alterations in cardiac structure and function across different types of cTGA. This advanced analysis offers valuable reference information for clinical guidance during pregnancy.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profiles of clinically isolated Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis in hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021,and provide evidence for rational use of antimicrobial agents.Methods Data of H.influenzae and M.catarrhalis strains isolated from 2015 to 2021 in CHINET program were collected for analysis,and antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by disc diffusion method or automated systems according to the uniform protocol of CHINET.The results were interpreted according to the CLSI breakpoints in 2022.Beta-lactamases was detected by using nitrocefin disk.Results From 2015 to 2021,a total of 43 642 strains of Haemophilus species were isolated,accounting for 2.91％of the total clinical isolates and 4.07％of Gram-negative bacteria in CHINET program.Among the 40 437 strains of H.influenzae,66.89％were isolated from children and 33.11％were isolated from adults.More than 90％of the H.influenzae strains were isolated from respiratory tract specimens.The prevalence of β-lactamase was 53.79％in H.influenzae strains.The H.influenzae strains isolated from children showed higher resistance rate than the strains isolated from adults.Overall,779 strains of H.influenzae did not produce β-lactamase but were resistant to ampicillin(BLNAR).Beta-lactamase-producing strains showed significantly higher resistance rates to these antimicrobial agents than the β-lactamase-nonproducing strains.Of the 16 191 M.catarrhalis strains,80.06％were isolated from children and 19.94％isolated from adults.M.catarrhalis strains were mostly susceptible to both amoxicillin-clavulanic acid and cefuroxime,evidenced by resistance rate lower than 2.0％.Conclusions The emergence of antibiotic-resistant H.influenzae due to β-lactamase production poses a challenge for clinical anti-infective treatment.Therefore,it is very important to implement antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae and guide rational antibiotic use.All local clinical microbiology laboratories should actively improve antibiotic susceptibility testing and strengthen antibiotic resistance surveillance for H.influenzae.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical outcomes of posterior approach vertebral column resection (VCR) osteotomy combined with titanium mesh bone-graft fusion and internal fixation for the treatment of special type stage IIIb Kummell disease.Methods:Twelve patients (3 males, 9 females) diagnosed with special type stage IIIb Kummell disease at Zhengzhou Orthopedics Hospital between October 2015 and June 2021 were enrolled. The mean age was 59.1±5.6 years (range, 53-67 years). All patients underwent VCR osteotomy, pedicle screw fixation, and posterior bone-graft fusion using titanium mesh. Preoperative and postoperative outcomes were assessed using visual analogue scale (VAS) scores, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scores, American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) grading, Cobb angle correction, and bone graft fusion rate. Intraoperative and postoperative complications were also recorded.Results:All surgeries were completed successfully. The average follow-up duration was 11.6±1.8 months (range, 10-13 months). Significant improvements were observed in VAS scores, ODI, JOA scores, and Cobb angles at both two weeks postoperatively and at the final follow-up ( P<0.05), with no significant differences between the two time points ( P>0.05). The final recovery rates were 79.5% for VAS score, 73.2% for ODI, 72.1% for JOA score, and 77.3% for Cobb angle correction. Neurological function showed marked improvement. One patient developed delayed incision healing due to fat liquefaction but recovered following physical therapy. The remaining 11 patients experienced uneventful wound healing without infection or internal fixation loosening. One patient developed postoperative deep venous thrombosis of the lower limbs, which resolved with drug therapy. Conclusion:Posterior approach VCR combined with titanium mesh bone-graft fusion and internal fixation provides an effective surgical option for stage IIIb Kummell disease characterized by fractured vertebral bodies with only the broken upper and lower endplates remaining.
