ObjectiveTo construct an automatic measurement model for palmar tilt and radial inclination suitable for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) clinical scenarios, and to validate its accuracy and efficiency in TCM manipulative reduction settings. MethodsData on anteroposterior (AP) and lateral X-rays of distal radius fractures were collected from patients admitted to 18 TCM/ integrated TCM and western medicine hospitals in Jiangsu province between September 1st, 2023, and September 1st, 2024, via the Jiangsu Diagnosis and Treatment Big Data Platform for TCM Dominant Diseases. A medical image segmentation framework based on multi-scale feature fusion and edge-awareness was employed, combined with anatomical knowledge specific to TCM orthopedics, to optimize the feature extraction strategy of an artificial intelligence (AI) model. This framework enabled automatic segmentation of fracture regions and measurement of distal radius palmar tilt and radial inclination. The accuracy of the AI model in measuring radial inclination and volar tilt was validated, and the measurement time and average time gain rate of the AI model were compared to those of manual measurement. ResultsA total of 15,444 AP and lateral X-ray images of distal radius fractures were collected, and were divided into a training set (11,144 images, 5066 AP and 6078 lateral), a validation set (3700 images, 1840 AP and 1860 lateral), and an independent test set (600 images, 300 AP and 300 lateral) after preprocessing. In the measurement of 300 AP X-rays in the independent test set for radial inclination, when the degree error between AI measurement and manual measurement was <3° and <5°, AI measurement accuracy was 83% and 93%, respectively. In 300 lateral X-rays in the test set for palmar tilt, when AI measurements had an error of <3° and <5° compared to manual measurements, corresponding accuracy rate was 78% and 90%, respectively. For 50 X-ray images, AI measurement time was (1.37±0.05) min for radial inclination while manual measurement time was (22.57±2.52) min (P<0.001); in terms of palmar tilt, the AI measurement time was (1.33±0.14) min, shorter than (23.70±2.80) min for manual measurement time (P<0.001). Average time gain rates for manual and AI measurements were 93.93% and 94.39% respectively. ConclusionAn automatic measurement model for palmar tilt and radial inclination in distal radius fractures has been established, enabling more accurate and efficient assessment as well as providing a tool to support the quantitative evaluation of the efficacy of TCM manipulative reduction and large-sample clinical research.

ObjectiveTo systematically quantify the multidimensional effect of virtual reality-based exergaming (VREG) on health outcomes among individuals with cognitive impairment under the framework of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). MethodsMeta-analysis was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA statement. PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang Data and VIP were researched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating VREG for cognitive impairment, with the search deadline set on February 1, 2026. The Cochrane Risk of Bias 2.0 tool was adopted to evaluate the methodological quality of included studies. A three-level meta-analytic model was implemented with R 4.4.2. The GRADE framework was further used to rate the certainty of pooled evidence. ResultsA total of 22 RCTs were included. VREG might improve global cognitive function (SMD = 0.69, 95%CI 0.11 to 1.28, P = 0.022), memory (SMD = 0.47, 95%CI 0.07 to 0.87, P = 0.023), attention (SMD = 0.62, 95%CI 0.23 to 1.01, P = 0.004), executive function (SMD = 0.42, 95%CI 0.09 to 0.75, P = 0.013), balance (SMD = 0.54, 95%CI 0.07 to 1.00, P = 0.027), muscle strength (SMD = 0.63, 95%CI 0.37 to 0.88, P = 0.001), mobility (SMD = 0.29, 95%CI 0.04 to 0.54, P = 0.024) and quality of life (SMD = 0.29, 95%CI 0.03 to 0.56, P = 0.029). No significant effect was observed for depressive symptoms, comprehensive physical fitness and fall risk (all P > 0.05). Subgroup and meta-regression analyses indicated that session duration < 45 minutes produced the largest improvement in attention (SMD = 0.95, 95%CI 0.55 to 1.34, P < 0.001); intervention cycles of twelve to 24 weeks were optimal for mobility (SMD = 0.85, 95%CI 0.44 to 1.25, P < 0.001); age negatively correlated to balance improvement (β = -0.11, 95%CI -0.20 to -0.02, P = 0.020), suggesting less intervention benefits among older participants. ConclusionVREG is an effective non-pharmacological intervention to improve multidimensional physical and mental health in people with cognitive impairment. Protocols featuring short single sessions with long-term duration should be prioritized.

Functional dyspepsia (FD), characterized by persistent or recurrent dyspeptic symptoms without identifiable organic, systemic or metabolic causes, is an increasingly recognized global health issue. The objective of this guideline is to equip clinicians and nursing professionals with evidence-based strategies for the management and treatment of adult patients with FD using traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The Guideline Development Group consulted existing TCM consensus documents on FD and convened a panel of 35 clinicians to generate initial clinical queries. To address these queries, a systematic literature search was conducted across PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), VIP Database, China Biology Medicine (SinoMed) Database, Wanfang Database, Traditional Medicine Research Data Expanded (TMRDE), and the Traditional Chinese Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System (TCMLARS). The evidence from the literature was critically appraised using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. The strength of the recommendations was ascertained through a consensus-building process involving TCM and allopathic medicine experts, methodologists, pharmacologists, nursing specialists, and health economists, leveraging their collective expertise and empirical knowledge. The guideline comprises a total of 43 evidence-informed recommendations that span a range of clinical aspects, including the pathogenesis according to TCM, diagnostic approaches, therapeutic interventions, efficacy assessments, and prognostic considerations.

Objective:To investigate the biomechanical correlation between ankle instability and osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT) under loading conditionsMethods:A healthy 29-year-old male volunteer was selected for the study. A 64-slice spiral CT scan of the right lower limb was performed to construct a detailed finite element model of the ankle joint, including ligaments and cartilage. Three injury models were created: models of distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injury, lateral collateral ligament injury, and a combined injury of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis and lateral collateral ligament. Differences in stress distribution on the tibiotalar joint surface, talus stress, and talus displacement were analyzed through anterior drawer test, inversion stress test, and external rotation stress test.Results:In the anterior drawer test, as the forward traction force increased (40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, and 150 N), all the injury models showed a progressive increase in tibiotalar joint surface stress, talus stress, and talus displacement. The combined injury model showed the highest tibiotalar joint surface stress (32.6 MPa), while the lateral collateral ligament injury model demonstrated the highest talus stress (56.5 MPa). Talus displacement increased significantly with traction, reaching the maximum (4.88 mm) in the combined injury model under 150 N. In the inversion stress test, stress on the tibiotalar joint surface in the lateral collateral ligament injury model was concentrated on the posterior-lateral and posterior-medial regions, whereas in the combined injury model, stress on the tibiotalar joint surface was predominantly concentrated in the posterior-medial region. Talus stress was localized to the talus neck and body in all the models, with the combined injury model showing the largest talus displacement (8.46 mm). In the external rotation stress test, stress on the tibiotalar joint surface was mainly distributed in the posterior-medial, posterior-lateral, and anterior-lateral regions in all the models. Talus stress was concentrated at the talus neck and body. The combined injury model exhibited the greatest talus displacement (12.50 mm).Conclusion:Ankle instability, particularly from combined injuries of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis and lateral collateral ligament, significantly increases the stress concentration and talus displacement under loading conditions, thus elevating the risk of OLT.
