A 42-year-old male with chest tightness and dyspnea was admitted to the hospital. Chest CT indicated diffuse interstitial lung infiltration. Despite receiving anti-infective therapy, glucocorticoid therapy, and immunosuppressive agents, the patient developed refractory hypoxaemia. Endotracheal intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation failed to improve oxygenation. Therefore the patient was diagnosed with rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD) accompanied by type Ⅰ respiratory failure. Veno-venous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was initiated, and oxygenation improved in this patient. The patient subsequently underwent bilateral lung transplantation with veno-arterio-venous (VAV) ECMO support. ECMO machine was withdrawn on day 1, and extubation was achieved on day 9 after surgery. Histopathology revealed fibrotic nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) with hyaline membrane formation. The patient developed ICU-acquired myasthenia and received early rehabilitation, with gradual recovery of muscle strength. During follow-up, graft lung function remained stable. This case demonstrates that ECMO can serve as a bridge to lung transplantation in RP-ILD patients.

Residual inflammatory risk （RIR） is a key issue to be urgently addressed in the secondary prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease （ASCVD）. Targeted intervention of RIR has become a novel target for drug development and clinical management. A series of high-quality randomized controlled trials （RCTs）， including COLCOT， LoDoCo2 and CLEAR SYNERGY， provided high-level evidence and confirmed that low-dose colchicine （0.5 mg/d） significantly reduced the risk of cardiovascular events in ASCVD patients at stable stage or after the acute phase， while its efficacy varied in different clinical scenarios. International authoritative guidelines from the European Society of Cardiology and the American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology include low-dose colchicine in the recommendations for ASCVD secondary prevention. Two domestic guidelines released in 2024， namely the Guideline for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Non-ST-Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome （ 2024 ） and the Guideline for the Diagnosis and Management of Chronic Coronary Syndrome in China ， have also added relevant recommendations. Nevertheless， due to potential racial differences， safety concerns regarding drug-drug interactions， and the relative lack of clinical evidence in China， especially the absence of prospective RCTs using low-dose colchicine for secondary prevention of ASCVD patients， current clinical recommendations still mainly based on international evidence and guidelines， and should not be simply extrapolated.

Abstract In April 2021, type Ⅰ vaccine-derived poliovirus (VDPV) was detected from two fecal samples of a male infant with acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) in Zhejiang Province when he was admitted to the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University in Shanghai, with 12 and 14 nucleotide mutations in the VP1 region, respectively. The case had a history of immunization with three doses of poliovirus vaccines, and grade Ⅲ proximal muscle strength and grade Ⅱ distal muscle strength of the right lower limb. After symptomatic treatment, the activity of the right lower limb and the muscle strength was significantly restored, thus he was discharged. VDPV was not detected from subsequent (the 8th to 12th) fecal samples of the case and fecal samples of close contacts. No similar cases were found in medical institutions in the county, surrounding areas, neighboring villages or towns. Since the case did not exhibit clinical symptoms of poliomyelitis caused by VDPV, poliomyelitis was excluded, and the case was diagnosed with hemophilia type A based on the epidemiological investigation, laboratory tests, and the history of poliomyelitis vaccination. This event involved cross-provincial (municipal) cooperation and was responsed promptly, preventing further spread of the virus. It suggested that the sensitivity of the AFP case surveillance system should be maintained, environmental monitoring methods should be increased, and the poliomyelitis vaccination should be promoted to prevent the spread of the virus.

Sjogren's syndrome (SS) is a kind of connective tissue disease with high incidence and difficult to be treated, which belongs to the category of "dryness-arthralgia" in TCM. Xuanfu is a micro-concept of TCM, and is widely distributed and has the properties of "gateway" and "road", playing the role of circulating gas-liquid and operating spirit mechanism. Aquaporin (AQP) is a membrane-specific transmembrane protein that is widely distributed throughout the body and controls the movement of water, ions and gases in and out of cells. In recent years, the Xuanfu theory and AQP have played an important role in the etiology, pathogenesis, and treatment of SS. This article explored the etiology, pathogenesis, and treatment of SS by listing the correlation between Xuanfu and AQP in terms of structure and function, providing more theoretical basis for the application of Xuanfu theory in the treatment of SS.

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of Chinese materia medica soaking therapy combined with cervical rotation-traction manipulation in the treatment of cervical spondylotic radiculopathy (CSR).Methods:A randomized controlled trial was conducted. Totally 84 CSR patients from the Orthopedics Department of Shunyi Hospital, Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from April 2023 to May 2024 were selected as the observation subjects. They were divided into two groups using a random number table method, with 42 patients in each group. The treatment for both groups lasted for 14 d. VAS scale was used to assess pain levels before and after treatment, OASTCSR was used to evaluate cervical function, and NDI was used to assess cervical functional status; adverse reactions during treatment were observed and recorded, and clinical efficacy was evaluated.Results:The total effective rate was 95.24% (40/42) in the treatment group and 80.95% (34/42) in the control group, with statistical significance ( χ2=4.36, P=0.029). After treatment, the VAS score (1.60±1.21 vs. 2.91±1.12, t=-1.89), the OASTCSR score (5.17±2.14 vs. 9.31±3.82, t=-11.57), and the NDI score (9.17±2.13 vs. 13.36±3.45, t=-10.82) in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group ( P<0.001 or P<0.05). During the treatment period, neither group experienced any adverse reactions. Conclusion:The combination of Chinese materia medica soaking therapy and cervical rotation-traction manipulation can significantly improve the clinical symptoms and quality of life of patients with CSR, and its efficacy is superior to the use of cervical rotation-traction manipulation alone.

Objective To make a comprehensive review about transitional care practice for patients receiving percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage(PTBD)and to analyze the current transitional care contents and evaluation indexes so as to provide guidance for improving the quality of transitional care services for discharged patients carrying a PTBD tube.Methods A scoping review study design was used to conduct a computerized retrieval of academic papers concerning the transitional care practice for discharged patients carrying a PTBD tube from the databases of PubMed,WOS Core Collection,CINAHL,Embase,Cochrane Library,CNKI,VIP,Wanfang med online,and Sinomed.The retrieval time period was from the establishment of the database to August 20,2024.Two investigators independently screened the literature to determine the studies to be included and the relevant information to be extracted.Results A total of 18 papers were enrolled in this study.The transitional care ways included telephone follow-up,home visit,online platform follow-up,and outpatient clinic follow-up.The intervention contents extended from in-hospital to out-of-hospital for up to 6 months.The evaluation indexes focused on the patient's knowledge about PTBD tube,the incidence of tube-related complications,the satisfaction with care,self-care ability,etc.Conclusion At present,the transitional care for discharged patients carrying a PTBD tube has a variety of content elements,which can improve the self-care ability and quality of life of the discharged patients carrying a PTBD tube to a certain extent,although more individualized transitional care modes need to be further explored.The evaluation indexes are mainly the outcome assessment of PTBD tube care.It is necessary to strengthen the quality supervision of organizational structure and nursing process.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between nerve growth factor (NGF) concentration in follicular fluid and abnormal menstrual cycle in infertile patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 100 infertile patients with PCOS who underwent in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) at Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Peking University Third Hospital from March 2017 to June 2019. For comparison, the 100 patients with PCOS were divided into low NGF group ( n=50) and high NGF group ( n=50) based on the median NGF concentration (1 644.03 ng/L) in follicular fluid. Baseline characteristics, menstrual status and clinical outcomes of assisted reproductive technology were compared. We performed multiple linear regression analysis to examine the effect of NGF in follicular fluid on menstrual cycle length for multivariate analysis. Results:1) PCOS patients in the low NGF group had significantly higher body mass index [(27.24±5.17) kg/m 2] and white blood cell count [7.31(5.99, 8.43)×10 9/L ] than those in the high NGF group [(25.03±4.46) kg/m 2, P=0.024; 5.95(5.08,7.01)×10 9/L, P=0.001], while high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [1.15 (0.98, 1.36) mmol/L] and basic follicle-stimulating hormone level [6.51 (5.10,7.95) U/L] in the low NGF group were significantly lower than those in the high NGF group [1.36 (1.09,1.52) mmol/L, P=0.039;6.51 (5.10,7.95)U/L, P=0.040]. 2) PCOS patients in the low NGF group had significantly higher menstrual cycle length [60.00 (35.00, 180.00) d] than the high NGF group [32.50 (27.00,67.50) d, P=0.001]. 3) Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that after adjustment for body mass index, age, infertility duration, infertility type, and glucose and lipid metabolic parameters, the NGF concentration in the follicular fluid independently and negatively correlated with menstrual cycle length ( P<0.05). 4) The NGF concentration in follicular fluid was not correlated with assisted reproductive outcomes. Conclusion:NGF concentration in follicular fluid is closely related to the degree of menstrual cycle abnormalities in patients with PCOS.

Objective:To investigate the role of serotonergic (5-HT) neurons activation in the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) in heat-induced seizures and its influence on breathing patterns in Scn1a + /- mice. Methods:24-day-old male Scn1a + /- mice were used for experiments, and sudden unexpected death in epilepsy(SUDEP) model was established through heat induction for 5 consecutive days. (1) Fluoxetine intervention experiment: 20 male mice were randomly divided into model group( n=10) and fluoxetine group ( n=10) according the weight-matched method. The fluoxetine group received intraperitoneal injection of fluoxetine (10 mg/kg) 45 min before heat induction each day for 5 consecutive days, while the model group received equal volume of 0.9% NaCl solution. (2) Chemogenetic activation experiment: 20 male mice were randomly divided into vector control group( n=10) and chemogenetic activation group ( n=10) according the weight-matched method. Empty vector or rAAV-TPH2-hM3d(Gq)-EGFP-WPREs was stereotaxically injected into DRN 14 d prior to seizure induction, and deschloroclozapine (5 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected 30 min before heat induction. Seizure characteristics and survival were assessed through video monitoring, and respiratory parameters were monitored. Immunofluorescence was used to detect colocalization of tryptophan hydroxylase 2(TPH2) and c-Fos in DRN. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 24.0 and GraphPad Prism 9.0. The independent sample t-test or Mann-Whitney test was used for inter-group comparison. Results:(1) In the fluoxetine intervention experiment: the survival rates between the model group and fluoxetine group showed no statistically significant difference ( χ2=2.23, P>0.05). As for the frequency of grade Ⅳ seizures, the model group (1.50(1.25, 2.35)min) demonstrated higher frequency than the fluoxetine group (0.43(0.20, 0.67)min) ( t=-3.40, P<0.05).With respect to respiratory parameters, the model group demonstrated shorter expiratory time ((0.10±0.02) s) and inspiratory time ((0.15±0.02) s) compared to the fluoxetine group ((0.16±0.05) s, (0.19±0.04) s) ( t=-3.47, -3.73, both P<0.01). The respiratory rate in the model group ((269.96±44.84) times/min) was significantly higher compared to the fluoxetine group ((195.04±52.37) times/min) ( t=3.44, P<0.01). The tidal volume in the model group ((0.10±0.02) mL) was significantly lower than the fluoxetine group ((0.13±0.04) mL) ( t=-2.19, P<0.05).The number of TPH2+ /c-Fos+ co-expressing cells in the model group (11.00±4.00) was lower than that in the fluoxetine group (33.00±8.39)( t=-4.16, P<0.05). (2) In the chemogenetic activation experiment: compared to the vehicle group, the chemogenetic activation group demonstrated significantly enhanced survival rates ( χ2=5.83, P<0.05). As for the frequency of grade Ⅴ seizures, the vehicle group (2.11(1.62, 3.44) times/min) showed higher frequency compared to the chemogenetic activation group (0.81(0.00, 1.62) times/min) ( t=18.00, P<0.05). In terms of respiratory parameters, the vehicle group showed shorter expiratory time ((0.10±0.01) s) and inspiratory time ((0.14±0.01) s) compared to the chemogenetic activation group ((0.12±0.01) s, (0.15±0.01) s) ( t=-2.78, -2.50, both P<0.05). The respiratory rate in the vehicle group ((208.37±9.73) times/min) was significantly higher than the chemogenetic activation group ((191.85±8.83) times/min) ( t=3.98, P<0.01). The tidal volume in the vehicle group ((0.09±0.01) mL) was significantly lower than the chemogenetic activation group ((0.12±0.02) mL) ( t=-4.77, P<0.001).The number of TPH2+ /c-Fos+ co-expressing cells in the vehicle group (9.00±3.46) was lower than that in the chemogenetic activation group (43.00±11.02)( t=-5.20, P<0.01). Conclusion:Specific activation of serotonergic neurons in the DRN can ameliorate heat-induced epileptic symptoms, improve respiratory function, and prolong survival time in Scn1a + /- mice.

In recent years,online medical services in public hospitals have developed rapidly,driven by favorable policies and technological progress.The scale of online medical users in China is growing rapidly,and the supply of online medical care continues to increase.At this stage,the accessible population of online medical service has reached a high level,realizing the"availability".As a new form of medical industry,it is still in the early development stage of establishing rules and regulations,facing problems such as unclear boundaries of the scope of diagnosis and treatment,imperfect pricing and health insurance payment mechanism,incomplete pharmaceutical service chains,as well as lack of internal quality management.It is necessary to rely on the linkage of medical care,medical insurance,and medicine.In terms of medical,the scope of online medical services should be clarified and moderately expanded,appropriate departments and diseases should be selected,and Internet first diagnosis services should be explored.In terms of health insurance,the pricing of Internet diagnosis and treatment should be reasonable,and the payment mechanism of the health insurance should be perfected.In terms of medicine,the circulation of online prescriptions should be smoothed and prescription supervision should be strengthened.At the same time,it is necessary to strengthen the collaborative supervision of multiple entities to jointly ensure and guide the high-quality development of online medical services.

Objective To provide a comprehensive and multi-dimensional objective assessment of the online medi-cal service quality supplied by public hospitals in China,and providing feasible suggestions for further improving.Methods It adopted a standardized patient method and relied on the IOM model to conduct a descriptive analy-sis of the online medical service quality from the perspectives of safety and effectiveness,efficiency,patient-cen-tered care,and accessibility.Results The process quality(adherence to checklist)in public hospital was 17.65％,the diagnostic accuracy was 66.04％,and the treatment correctness was 88.68％.The average consultation fee was 50 yuan.The patients'disease experience was 4.00 points,the social situation was 0,and the agreement between the physician and the patient was 12.00 points.The average time waiting for first response was about 1.60 hours,the average time waiting for each response was about 5.14 hours,and the patient's total time was about 20.32 hours.The time for response was 3,and the total words of providers was 149.50.Conclusion Internet medical ser-vices quality in public hospital are still insufficient in three aspects:the process quality(adherence to checklist),pa-tient-centered care,and accessibility.Improving online medical service quality can be achieved by strengthening"in-process supervision"and improving physicians'comprehensive clinical ability.
