Clinical trials represent a pivotal stage in the development of pharmaceutical drugs. Nevertheless， given the unique characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） and the diagnostic and treatment principle of syndrome differentiation and treatment in TCM， the clinical evaluation techniques and methods that can comprehensively reflect the characteristics of TCM and are tailored to its specificities are still in need of refinement and innovation. This paper systematically summarizes the key techniques and methods for designing and evaluating the clinical research on the treatment of the spleen and stomach diseases with TCM from three aspects including clinical research design， evaluation， and platform construction， compares domestic and international research landscapes， and proposes for future directions. It is suggested that a multidimensional evaluation system integrating modern medicine and TCM theory should be established， and further innovation is needed in TCM research design and methodologies， leveraging intelligent devices and technologies powered by next-generation information technology to transform clinical data into high-quality TCM evidence. Moreover， standardized and shared platforms for TCM clinical data should be accelerated， so as to provide references for the design， implementation， and evaluation of future clinical research on the treatment of the spleen and stomach diseases with TCM.

Intestinal aging is central to systemic aging, characterized by a progressive decline in intestinal structure and function. The core mechanisms involve dysregulation of epithelial cell renewal and gut microbiota dysbiosis. In addition to previous results in model organisms like Drosophila melanogaster, recent studies have shown that in mammalian models, aging causes increased intestinal permeability and intestinal-derived systemic inflammation, thereby affecting longevity. Therefore, anti-intestinal aging can be an important strategy for reducing frailty and promoting longevity. There are three key gaps remaining in the study of intestinal aging: (1) overemphasis on aging-related diseases rather than the primary aging mechanisms; (2) lack of specific drugs or treatments to prevent or treat intestinal aging; (3) limited aging-specific dysbiosis research. In this review, the basic structures and renewal mechanisms of intestinal epithelium, and mechanisms and potential therapies for intestinal aging are discussed to advance understanding of the causes, consequences, and treatments of age-related intestinal dysfunction.

Objective:To explore the latent class characteristics of demoralization in severely disabled stroke patients, and analyze the differences and influencing factors of each class by latent class analysis.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select 335 patients in the Neurointensive Care Unit of three Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals in Anhui Province from October 2023 to March 2024, and were confirmed to be with post-stroke disability through follow-up as research subjects. General Information Questionnaire and Demoralization Scale-Ⅱ were used for a survey. Latent class analysis was used to identify latent classes of demoralization, and multiple logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of different latent classes.Results:A total of 335 questionnaires were distributed, and 321 valid questionnaires were retrieved. The effective recovery rate of the questionnaires was 95.8%. Demoralization of severe stroke patients with disability was classified into four categories of low demoralization (40.2%, 129/321), moderate demoralization with coping loss (12.1%, 39/321), moderate demoralization with goal loss (21.2%, 68/321), and high disability (26.5%, 85/321). Multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that age, gender, per capita monthly income of the family, whether was the economic pillar of the family, long-term residence, and relationship with cohabitants were the influencing factors of demoralization in severe stroke patients with disability (all P<0.05) . Conclusions:There are four latent classes of demoralization in stroke patients with disability, and age, gender, per capita monthly income of the family, whether they are the economic pillar of the family, long-term residence, and relationship with cohabitants are the influencing factors of demoralization in severe stroke patients with disability.

Objective:To understand the current level of clinical nurses' knowledge about medical adhesive-related skin injuries (MARSI) .Methods:Using convenience sampling, 1 123 clinical nurses from the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University were selected as study subjects in March 2024. A general information questionnaire and a self-designed MARSI knowledge questionnaire were used to collect data. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to explore the factors influencing clinical nurses' knowledge of MARSI.Results:A total of 1 200 questionnaires were distributed and 1 123 were returned, resulting in an effective response rate of 93.58%. The average score for MARSI knowledge among the 1 123 clinical nurses was (32.75±6.78) . Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that professional title, years of work experience, and whether they have received MARSI related training were the influencing factors of MARSI cognition among clinical nurses ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Clinical nurses' knowledge of MARSI is at a low level. Managers can develop intervention strategies based on the factors influencing MARSI knowledge to improve clinical nurses' understanding of MARSI.

Objective: To investigate the recreational use status of electronic products among high school students in Shanxi Province and the influencing factors for excessive use, so as to provide insights into the promotion of rational use of electronic products among high school students. Methods: The high school students from 117 schools in Shanxi Province were selected using the stratified random sampling method, and basic information, lifestyle behaviors and recreational use of electronic products were collected using questionnaire surveys. The prevalence of excessive recreational use of electronic products was analyzed, and the factors affecting excessive recreational use of electronic products among high school students were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 13 804 valid questionnaires were recoverd, with an effective rate of 98.32%. There were 6 634 males (48.06%) and 7 170 females (51.94%), with a median age of 17.00 (interquartile range, 1.00) years. There were 7 024 students in Grade One (50.88%) and 6 780 students in Grade Two (49.12%). The prevalence of recreational use of electronic products was 14.18% (1 958 cases). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that males (OR=1.461, 95%CI: 1.325-1.611), students in Grade Two (OR=1.720, 95%CI: 1.559-1.897), students whose parents had below high school education (OR=1.391, 95%CI: 1.156-1.674), students without parental support (OR=1.281, 95%CI: 1.078-1.523), students not living on campus (OR=1.142, 95%CI: 1.026-1.271), students without myopia (OR=1.121, 95%CI: 1.008-1.248), and students with sufficient sleep (OR=1.162, 95%CI: 1.054-1.281) had a higher risk of excessive recreational use of electronic products. Conclusion The prevalence of excessive recreational use of electronic products among high school students in Shanxi Province was relatively high, which was related to gender, grade, parental education, parental attitudes, boarding status, myopia and sleep quality.

Objective To translate self-care in spinal cord injuries inventory(SC-SCII)into Chinese and evaluate its reliability and validity,therefore to provide medical staff with a tool for evaluation of self-care behaviour of patients.Methods Brislin translation model was adopted for forward translation,back-translation,cultural adaptation and pilot testing in the development of Chinese version of SC-SCII.Convenience sampling was used to recruit 207 patients with spinal cord injury(SCI)from three Tier-IIIA hospitals in Xi'an between January 2024 and March 2025 for the purpose of assessing the reliability and validity of the translated inventory.Results A total of 202 patients completed the study.The finalised Chinese version of SC-SCII encompassed 4 dimensions with a total of 35 items,with the same structure as the original SC-SCII.Scale-level content validity index was 0.948,and the item-level content validity indices ranged from 0.912 to 1.000.Four common factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis:self-care maintenance(12 items),self-care monitoring(8 items),self-care management(8 items)and self-care self-efficacy(7 items),cumulatively accounting for 61.402%of the total variance.The overall Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.820 and the Cronbach's α coefficients of the four dimensions were 0.935,0.905,0.921 and 0.892,respectively.The split-half reliability was 0.798,and the two-week retest reliability was 0.875.No statistically significant difference was observed between the original and sinicised scales(paired t-test,P>0.05),indicating a high cross-time stability of the sinicised scale.Conclusion The Chinese version of SC-SCII demonstrates a good reliability and validity,making it a suitable tool in evaluation of self-care abilities in SCI patients.
