Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) refers to an infectious inflammation of the lung parenchyma (including the alveolar wall,that is,the broad pulmonary interstitium) acquired outside the hospital. Its common pathogens include streptococcus pneumoniae,respiratory viruses, mycoplasma pneumoniae, and so on. The related factors for the occurrence and development of CAP include patient characteristics (immune function,mucus production and clearance function,coagulation function,physical condition, and comorbidity) and pathogen characteristics (susceptibility,virulence,and antibiotic resistance). The pathogenesis of CAP lies in immune deficiency,pathogen invasion,inflammatory response disorder,mucus production and clearance disorder, coagulation disorder, and so on. The pathogenesis of CAP in traditional Chinese medicine can be described as "vital Qi deficiency and toxic stasis". Vital Qi deficiency (lack of immunity) is the potential pathogenesis of the disease and easy to be invaded by external pathogens (respiratory pathogens). Toxic stasis (inflammatory disorder,mucus production and clearance disorder,and coagulation dysfunction) is the key pathogenic factor. Vital Qi deficiency and toxic stasis are intermingled in a state of deficiency and excess,which suggests that the treatment of CAP lies in strengthening vital Qi and eliminating pathogenic factors. This involves strengthening vital Qi in the whole process to consolidate body resistance and nourish promordial Qi. It also involves clearing heat,eliminating phlegm,removing dampness,and dispelling stasis to dispel pathogenic toxins based on the syndrome differentiation. Its action mechanism is to regulate immune and inflammatory responses,resist pathogens,and improve mucus production and clearance, as well as coagulation disorders. Starting from the key pathogenesis of CAP,"vital Qi deficiency and toxic stasis", this paper discussed the pathogenesis of CAP and summarized the action mechanism of vital Qi strengthening for detoxification in its treatment. It is intended to complement the theoretical system by identifying "vital Qi deficiency and toxic stasis" as the key pathogenesis underlying CAP and the scientific connotation of treating CAP with vital Qi strengthening for detoxification,thereby providing insights for its clinical application.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Wenshen Yangxue decoction combined with endometrial microstimulation in the treatment of infertile patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS, syndrome of kidney-Yang deficiency and blood stasis). MethodsA randomized, positive-drug parallel-controlled, open-label clinical study was conducted. A total of 240 infertile PCOS patients with the syndrome of kidney-Yang deficiency and blood stasis who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were randomly assigned into 4 groups, with 60 patients in each group. The control group was treated with clomiphene citrate (50-100 mg·d-¹, orally for 5-10 consecutive days) for ovulation induction. On the basis of the therapy in the control group, the Wenshen group was additionally treated with Wenshen Yangxue decoction (250 mL, warm oral administration, twice daily, in the morning and evening), and the stimulation group received endometrial microstimulation during the early follicular phase. The combined group was treated with clomiphene citrate plus Wenshen Yangxue decoction (at the same dosages as aforementioned) and endometrial microstimulation. The course of treatment for all the groups was 3 menstrual cycles. The pregnancy rate, ovulation status, sex hormone levels, glucose metabolism indicators, coagulation function, endometrial thickness, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom scores, and adverse reactions were observed in each group. ResultsA total of 239 patients were included in the final analysis, with 59 patients in the Wenshen group and 60 patients in each of the other three groups. The pregnancy rates were 43.3%(26/60) in the combined group and 32.2%(19/60) in the Wenshen group, both significantly higher than that (10%) in the control group (χ2=17.56,P<0.01). Compared with the control group, the combined and Wenshen groups had increased mature follicle rates (P<0.01), while the Wenshen group showed a decreased luteinization rate (P<0.05). All the groups exhibited significant reductions in TCM symptom scores after treatment, and the Wenshen and combined groups had lower scores than the control group (P<0.01). No statistically significant difference was found in the incidence of adverse events among the four groups, and all the adverse events were mild. ConclusionWenshen Yangxue decoction combined with endometrial microstimulation can alleviate the TCM symptoms of infertile PCOS patients with the syndrome of kidney-Yang deficiency and blood stasis, promote follicular maturation and ovulation, increase the cumulative pregnancy rate, and has good safety. It can provide new clinical evidence for the integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment of PCOS infertility.

ObjectiveTo establish three standardized rehabilitation unit models covering acute, critical and comprehensive recovery stages for traumatic brain injury (TBI) that fit the whole-course characteristics, clarify their multidisciplinary collaborative framework, standardized procedures, and information management system, and verify the clinical effectiveness of this staged rehabilitation unit on long-term functional prognosis and in-hospital complications of TBI patients. MethodsThis study was conducted at two stages: model construction and efficacy verification. At the first stage, TBI rehabilitation units for acute, critical and recovery stages were established in the Department of Neurosurgery, Intensive Care Unit and Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, respectively, with unified multidisciplinary team configuration, standardized assessment and treatment protocols, collaborative workflows, and a dedicated information management system. At the second stage, 324 TBI patients admitted to the newly built rehabilitation units from July, 2023 to July, 2025 were enrolled as the observation group, and 167 TBI patients receiving traditional management from January, 2018 to December, 2022 were retrospectively selected as the control group. The primary outcomes were 1-year post-injury Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) and Disability Rating Scale (DRS) scores. Secondary outcomes included the incidence of in-hospital complications and the mean indwelling time of tracheal intubation, gastric tube and urinary catheter. ResultsThe 1-year GOS score was significantly higher (t = -7.836, P < 0.001), and the DRS score was significantly lower (t = -6.742, P < 0.001) in the observation group than in the control group. The overall incidence of complications was significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group (χ2 = 18.762, P < 0.001). The incidences of pulmonary infection, urinary tract infection, pressure ulcer, lower extremity venous thrombosis and joint contracture deformity were all significantly reduced (χ2 > 4.328, P < 0.05). The indwelling time of tracheal intubation, gastric tube and urinary catheter was significantly shorter in the observation group than in the control group (t > 10.276, P < 0.001). ConclusionThe acute-critical-comprehensive three-stage standardized TBI rehabilitation unit could significantly improve the long-term functional outcomes of TBI patients, reduce the incidence of complications, and shorten the indwelling time of invasive tubes through multidisciplinary collaboration, whole-course standardized management and information-based quality control. This model conforms to the pathological and functional laws of TBI, realizes seamless whole-course connection from acute treatment to recovery rehabilitation, and has good clinical feasibility and promotion value. It can provide evidence-based evidence and practical reference for the homogenized and standardized development of TBI rehabilitation in China.

Objective:To explore the trajectories of breastfeeding social support and postpartum depression from childbirth through 6 months postpartum in postpartum women.Methods:A longitudinal survey method was adopted. Using convenience sampling method, postpartum women who were hospitalized and delivered in the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China from June to July 2023 were selected. The Hughes Breastfeeding Support Scale (HBSS) and Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS) were used to collect data at three times including departure (T1), 42 days postpartum (T2), and 6 months postpartum (T3). Repeated analysis of variance was used to explore the trajectories of breastfeeding social support and postpartum depression at different times, and LSD test was used for pairwise comparison. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship between the HBSS and EPDS.Results:Finally, 435 postpartum women completed the survey. There were 171 cases aged 20-29 years old, 237 cases aged 30-39 years old, and 27 cases aged ≥ 40 years old.The rate of exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months after delivery was 41.1%(179/435). The total score of HBSS in parturients was at a high level at T1, with a score of (84.08 ± 14.14) points, but at T2 and T3, it was at a moderate level with scores of (77.45 ± 15.29), (78.42 ± 15.97) points, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant at different time points ( F=36.59, P<0.01). The total score of EPDS in parturients at T1, T2, and T3, were (8.53 ± 4.81), (8.29 ± 5.52), (7.71 ± 5.02) points, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant at different time points ( F=6.44, P<0.01). The scores of HBSS were negatively correlated with the scores of EPDS at three times ( r=-0.345, -0.458, -0.578, all P<0.01). Conclusions:The level of breastfeeding social support and postpartum depression showed a dynamic change trend, and these two variables were negatively related. Nursing staff should strengthen the construction of social support network for breastfeeding, and implement personalized intervention measures according to the psychological characteristics of postpartum women in different stages to improve the current situation of breastfeeding.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of the gastrointestinal endoscopic super minimally invasive surgery (eSMIS) and the laparoscopic minimally invasive procedure (LS) for the treatment of gastric glomus tumors(GGT).Methods:This study retrospectively included 15 patients with GGT who underwent eSMIS at the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from May 2014 to May 2024. Data on demographic characteristics, surgical indexes, efficacy evaluation indexes, postoperative medical disposition, health economics indexes and postoperative laboratory indexes were collected and analyzed, the patients were followed up for survival outcomes and the postoperative quality of life, efficacy and safety of the two groups were compared.Results:The amount of bleeding in the eSMIS group was lower than that in the LS group: 1.25 (0, 3.75) ml vs. 41.56 (10.00, 50.00) ml, and the surgical cost in the eSMIS group was lower than that in the LS group: 10 792.87 (8 424.90, 12 730.30) yuan vs. 21 773.06 (19 940.60, 24 843.10) yuan, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The surgical efficacy, postoperative laboratory indicators and medical treatment convenience between the two groups had no statistical differences ( P>0.05). Conclusions:In the choice of surgical procedures for the treatment of GGT, eSMIS is superior to LS in terms of bleeding and surgical cost, and not inferior to LS in other indicators. This suggested that the treatment of GGT with eSMIS is feasible, safe and effective.

Objective:To establish an evaluation index system for patient safety education targeted at undergraduate nursing interns.Methods:Based on the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) evaluation model, a preliminary draft of the index system was developed using a literature review and semi-structured interviews. The Delphi method and the Analytic Hierarchy Process were applied to finalize the index system.Results:Two rounds of Delphi expert consultation were conducted. In the first round, 23 questionnaires were distributed, and 20 valid responses were received (effective response rate: 86.96%) . Among them, 15 experts (75.00%) provided revision suggestions. In the second round, 20 questionnaires were distributed, and 19 valid responses were received (effective response rate: 95.00%) , with two experts (10.53%) offering suggestions. The expert authority coefficients for the two rounds were 0.900 and 0.921, respectively. Kendall's coordination coefficients were 0.272 and 0.273 ( P<0.01) . The final evaluation system consisted of four first-level indicators, eight second-level indicators, and 18 third-level indicators. Conclusions:The evaluation index system constructed in this study is scientifically grounded and reliable. However, its practical utility and applicability require further validation.
