Stroke is the leading cause of death and disability among adults in China, and its common complications include digestive system abnormalities, cognitive impairment, depression, stroke-associated pneumonia, and hemiplegia. The combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine has great potential in treating post-stroke complications. Xinglou Chengqitang (XLCQT) is a representative prescription of alleviating the disease in the upper part by treating the lower part. It has definite therapeutic effect and high safety. Clinically, XLCQT is often used to treat stroke and its complications. However, the quantity and quality of clinical trials of XLCQT in treating post-stroke complications need to be improved. Additionally, since the basic research is weak, the material basis and multi-target mechanism for the efficacy of this prescription are unknown. This article reviews XLCQT in terms of the pharmacodynamic basis, medicinal properties, safety evaluation, and progress in clinical research and mechanisms in treating post-stroke complications. This article summarizes 22 key active ingredients of XLCQT in treating acute stroke complicated with syndrome of phlegm heat and fu-organ excess. Among these key active ingredients, resveratrol, kaempferol, luteolin, chrysoeriol, apigenin, (+)-catechin, and adenosine have good pharmacokinetic properties and high bioavailability. The mechanisms of XLCQT in treating post-stroke complications are complex, including inflammatory response, brain-gut axis, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, intestinal flora, neurotrophic factors, autophagy, oxidative stress, and free radical damage. This review helps to deeply understand the pharmacodynamic basis and mechanisms of XLCQT in treating post-stroke complications and provides a theoretical basis for the clinical application of XLCQT against post-stroke complications and the development of drugs.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) in Shanxi Province from 2012 to 2024, and predict the incidence trend for 2025, and to provide a scientific basis for the formulation of prevention and control strategies. Methods Based on the surveillance data of HFMD in Shanxi Province from 2012 to 2024, the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics and time trends of the disease were analyzed. The ARIMA model was constructed and used to predict the incidence trend in 2025. Results From 2012 to 2024, a total of 254 028 HFMD cases were reported in Shanxi Province, with an average annual incidence rate of 54.17 per 100 000 population, a severe case rate of 0.56%, and a case fatality rate (CFR) of 12.60 per 100 000 population. Joinpoint regression analysis showed that the incidence rate, severe case rate, mortality rate, and case fatality rate all presented a downward trend. The epidemic exhibited obvious seasonal distribution characteristics, with the peak period from April to November, and two incidence peaks in June-July and October-November. The male-to-female incidence ratio was 1.41:1. Children aged 1-5 years accounted for 89.24% of the total cases, among which scattered children (58.48%) and nursery children (33.54%) were the high-risk groups. Linfen City (96.06 /100 000) and Taiyuan City (88.54 /100 000) had relatively high incidence rates. After 2017, the proportion of enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) decreased, while coxsackievirus A16 (Cox-A16) and other enteroviruses became the main epidemic strains. The ARIMA(1,0,1)(0,1,1)₁₂ model predicted that the incidence of HFMD in 2025 would remain at the level of 2023-2024, and the dual-peak characteristic would continue. Conclusion From 2012 to 2024, the overall HFMD epidemic in Shanxi Province generally shows a significant downward trend. The high-risk population includes scattered children and nursery children under 5 years old, with high-incidence areas concentrated in the central and southern regions, requiring focused attention. The seasonal ARIMA model can effectively fit the evolutionary trend of HFMD incidence in Shanxi Province and possesses short-term predictive capability.

Objective :
To investigate the biomechanical effect of alveolar bone graft (ABG) resorption on the maxillary alveolar process under occlusal force in a patient with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) and provide evidence for the clinical application of ABG.
Methods:
A 3D finite element maxillary model of an 11-year-old female patient with UCLP was generated. The occlusal force was applied to six models with different ABG resorption, namely non-resorption, upper 1/3 resorption, upper 2/3 resorption, lower 1/3 resorption, lower 2/3 resorption, and upper&lower 1/3 resorption. The properties of structures in all models were set to be linear, elastic, and isotropic. The displacement and Von Mises stress of each reference node of the alveolar process were compared and analyzed.
Results:
Under occlusal force, the most significant displacement of the alveolar process was located in the anterior area, and it decreased gradually from anterior area to both sides in all groups. The displacement values of the alveolar process under cleft side lateral occlusion were as follows: non-resorption group < lower 2/3 resorption group < upper&lower 1/3 resorption group < lower 1/3 resorption group < upper 2/3 resorption group < upper 1/3 resorption group. The displacement values of the alveolar process under centric occlusion were as follows: non-resorption group < lower 1/3 resorption group < upper&lower 1/3 resorption group < upper 2/3 resorption group < lower 2/3 resorption group < upper 1/3 resorption group. The displacement values of the alveolar process under non-cleft side lateral occlusion were as follows: non-resorption group < lower 1/3 resorption group < upper 1/3 resorption group < lower 2/3 resorption group < upper&lower 1/3 resorption group < upper 2/3 resorption group. The stress was concentrated on the premolar area on the functional side of the alveolar process, followed by the canine and molar areas in all groups. The stress values of the alveolar process under cleft side lateral occlusion were as follows: non-resorption group < lower 2/3 resorption group < upper&lower 1/3 resorption group < upper 2/3 resorption group < lower 1/3 resorption group < upper 1/3 resorption group. The stress values of the alveolar process under centric occlusion were as follows: non-resorption group < upper 1/3 resorption group < lower 1/3 resorption group < lower 2/3 resorption group < upper&lower 1/3 resorption group < upper 2/3 resorption group. The stress values of the alveolar process under non-cleft side lateral occlusion were as follows: non-resorption group < lower 2/3 resorption group < upper&lower 1/3 resorption group < lower 1/3 resorption group < upper 2/3 resorption group < upper 1/3 resorption group. Under occlusal force, the displacement and stress of the alveolar process in the non-resorption model were significantly lower than those in other models. The displacement and stress of the alveolar process in the models with resorption in the lower area of the ABG were significantly lower than those in the models with resorption in the upper-middle areas of the ABG.
Conclusion
After unilateral complete cleft lip and palate bone grafting, the integrity and continuity of the middle and upper parts of the alveolar process bone grafting play a key role in the biomechanical status of the alveolar process. If bone resorption occurs in the above parts, bone grafting should be considered.

Objective:To evaluate the value of the proposed interpretable denoising deep learning model-grouped sharing convolutional attention-visual transformer(GSCAViT)for classifying normal fetal echocardiograms.Methods:A total of 2 501 images from 358 fetuses who underwent cardiac ultrasound examinations at Xiangya Second Hospital of Central South University from January to November 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. GSCAViT was constructed based on fetal echocardiograms from the three-vessel and trachea view,apical four-chamber view,long-axis view of the aortic arch,bicaval view,left ventricular outflow tract view,three-vessel view and right ventricular outflow tract view were compared with both baseline and improved models in the validation set to assess the performance of the classification echocardiography in terms of accuracy,precision,recall and F1-score. Its generalizability across test sets was assessed using the area under the ROC curve(AUC),sensitivity,specificity and F1-score. The impact of image features was interpreted using SHapley Additive exPlanations(SHAP).The effectiveness of the GSCA module was compared through visual analysis,image parameter metrics and classification performance.Results:The GSCAViT model achieved classification performance for fetal echocardiograms second only to MaxViT,with an accuracy of 97.1%,precision of 97.1%,recall of 97.0%,and an F1-score of 97.0%. In the E10,E20 and E8 test sets,the AUCs of GSCAViT for the prediction of 7 types of fetal echocardiograms were 0.994,0.928 and 0.932,the sensitivities were 99.4%,81.3% and 72.9%,the specificities were 99.7%,96.8% and 94.8%,the F1-scores were 99.4%,81.3% and 67.6%,respectively. SHAP visualization indicated that the model could identify key structural features within the images. Images processed by the denoising-guided group-sharing convolutional attention module best captured and enhanced important regional features,achieving the highest contrast-to-noise ratio,peak signal-to-noise ratio and optimal classification performance,which demonstrated the module's effectiveness.Conclusions:The proposed GSCAViT model exhibits superior performance in classifying seven types of normal fetal echocardiograms compared to the baseline and some improved models. Furthermore,SHAP visualization enhances the interpretability of the classification results,and visual comparisons,image parameter analyses,as well as classification performance metrics confirming the effectiveness of the denoising-guided group-sharing convolutional attention module in the visual transformer model.

Objective:To compare the clinical outcomes and costs in arthroscopic repair of small and medium-sized supraspinatu tendon tears between double-pulley suture-bridge (DPSB) and traditional suture bridge (SB).Methods:A retrospective study was conducted at Department of Joint Surgery, The Second Hospital Affiliated to Hengyang Medical School to analyze the data of 26 patients with small and medium-sized supraspinatus tendon tears who had been treated by SB repair from May 2018 to December 2020 (SB group) and those of 35 patients with small and medium-sized supraspinatus tendon tears who had been treated by DPSB repair from January 2021 to December 2022 (DPSB group). There were 61 patients in the 2 groups, including 44 males and 17 females, with an age of (59.1±7.5) years. The left shoulder was affected in 26 patients and the right shoulder in 35 patients. The tear size was small in 25 cases and medium in 36 ones. The total number of anchors used, total anchoring costs, and surgical time were recorded and compared between the 2 groups. Visual analogue scale (VAS), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) score and shoulder range of motion were used to evaluate the clinical outcomes of the 2 groups before surgery and at the last follow-up. Comparisons were made within and between the 2 groups. Tendon integrity was assessed using MRI or ultrasound at 3, 6, 12 months or at the last follow-up.Results:There was no statistically significant difference in the preoperative general data between the 2 groups, indicating comparability ( P>0.05). DPSB and SB groups were followed up for (28.1±3.5) and (27.1±1.8) months, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between DPSB group and SB group in surgical time or total number of anchors ( P>0.05). The total costs of anchoring in DPSB group [(6,028.6±173.4) yuan] were significantly lower than those in SB group [(13,257.1±554.2) yuan] ( P<0.05). At the last follow-up, the anterior flexion, abduction, external rotation and internal rotation of the shoulder, as well as VAS pain score, ASES score and UCLA score, were significantly better in both DPSB group and SB group than their preoperative values ( P<0.05), but there were no statistically significant differences between DPSB group and SB group ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference either in tendon retear between DPSB group (2 cases) and SB group (1 case) ( P>0.05). No such complication as wound infection or nerve damage was found in either group. Conclusions:In arthroscopic repair of small and medium-sized supraspinatu tendon tears, both DPSB and SB techniques can achieve satisfactory and comparable clinical outcomes. However, DPSB leads to lower total costs of anchoring.

Wound cleansing is an essential step in skin wound management. It can prevent local infection and optimize healing micro-environment by removing necrotic tissue and foreign matter, reducing microbial load, breaking bacterial biofilm formation and so on. Many randomized controlled trials and meta-analysis abroad have concluded that there is no significant difference in the incidence of wound infection and healing rate between the wounds irrigated with tap water and with sterile normal saline for skin wound cleansing. Considering the current requirements of medical fee policies in China, we recommend the use of tap water instead of saline or other wound cleansing solutions for cleansing skin wounds.

Objective:To obtain a prevalent respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) clinical isolate in Beijing and analyze the genotype and biological characteristics of the strain.Methods:A nasopharyngeal secretion specimen was collected from a child with RSV infection in Beijing in 2023 and used for viral isolation. Viral nucleic acid was amplified using qRT-PCR. The isolated virus was identified by transmission electron microscopy, indirect immunofluorescence assay, and plaque formation assay. A phylogenetic analysis was conducted based on the whole-genome sequencing results. Virus titers were determined, and replication characteristics were analyzed. The efficacy of the isolated strain for in vitro screening of antiviral drugs was validated. Results:A clinical RSV isolate, named hRSV/C-Tan/BJ 202301, was successfully isolated, which could form syncytia in Hep-2 cells. Spherical, filamentous, and irregular virus particles were observed by electron microscopy. Immunofluorescence detection showed green fluorescence in Hep-2 cells, and plaque assay showed round plaques, which were similar to the Long strain in morphology. Genomic sequence analysis showed that it belonged to ON1 genotype. It exhibited similar cell growth kinetics characteristics with the Long strain and could be used for antiviral drug screening in vitro. Conclusions:In this study, one RSV strain is successfully isolated and identified. The biological characteristics and the phylogenetic relationship of this strain reflect the characteristics of the circulating strains in Beijing, which provides experimental material for RSV vaccine development and antiviral drug screening in China.
