Objective To analyze the risk factors of left atrial appendage(LAA)thrombosis in elderly patients with NVAF.Methods A total of 210 NVAF patients admitted to our hospital from January 2019 to June 2023 were enrolled in this study.Transesophageal echocardiography was applied used to detect the LAA thrombus,and then according to the presence or absence of thrombus,the patients were divided into a thrombus group(n=42)and a non-thrombus group(n=168).The indicators of routine blood test within 48 h of admission and the characteristics of LAA were recorded.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the risk factors related to the occurrence of LAA thrombus.Results The thrombus group exhibited sig-nificantly larger proportions of diabetes and nonparoxysmal AF,higher total bilirubin,increased left ventricular end-systolic diameter and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter values,and elevat-ed ratio of complex LAA,but lower INR and left ventricular ejection fraction value than the non-thrombus group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).After adjusting for confounding factors,multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that diabetes(OR=3.585,95％CI:1.003-12.808,P=0.049)and complex LAA(OR=5.572,95％CI:2.101-14.777,P=0.001)were independent risk factors for LAA thrombosis.Conclusion LAA morphology and diabetes are independent risk factors for the occurrence of LAA thrombus in NVAF patients.

In recent years, the reform of the registration, evaluation, and approval system for traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) has been promoted at the national level, with establishment of an evaluation evidence system for TCM registration that combines TCM theory, human use experience, and clinical trials(known as the "three-combined" evaluation evidence system). This system, which aligns with the characteristics of TCM clinical practice and the laws of TCM research and development, recognizes the unique value of human use experience in medicine and returns to the essence of medicine as an applied science, thus receiving widespread recognition from both academia and industry. However, it meanwhile poses new and higher challenges. This article delves into the value and challenges faced by the "three-combined" evaluation evidence system from three perspectives: registration management, medical institutions, and the TCM industry. Furthermore, it discusses how the China Association of Chinese Medicine, leveraging its academic platform advantages and leading roles, has made exploratory and practical efforts to facilitate the research and development of new TCM drugs and the implementation of the "three-combined" evaluation evidence system.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) injection in enhancing chin aesthetics.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with suboptimal chin aesthetics who underwent dual-plane BTX-A injection at Plastic Surgery Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences between August 2023 and March 2024. Prior to injection, patients were instructed to repeatedly pucker their lips forward and upward to identify the most prominent points of the mentalis muscle for injection. A 13 mm 30 G needle was inserted perpendicularly into the muscle layer, and BTX-A was administered at a concentration of 20 U/ml, with 3 U per injection point. For the patients exhibiting significant orange peel signs at rest, intradermal deep-layer BTX-A injection was concurrently performed at a concentration of 5 U/ml, with 0.5 U per linear track. Postoperative follow-up was conducted, and third-party physicians assessed pre- and post-treatment photographs using the global aesthetic improvement scale (GAIS) (scores ranging from 5 to 1, representing worse, no improvement, mild improvement, moderate improvement, and significant improvement, respectively). Patient satisfaction was also surveyed [categorized as very satisfied, satisfied, dissatisfied, or very dissatisfied; satisfaction rate = (very satisfied + satisfied) cases/total cases × 100%], along with their willingness to undergo repeated injections and recommend the procedure to others. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 24.0 software. Normally distributed continuous data were expressed as Mean±SD, and categorical data were expressed as counts (%).Results:A total of 120 patients were included, comprising 11 males and 109 females, aged 22-39 years (mean age of 33.3 years). Follow-up ranged from 1 to 5 months (mean of 1.3 months). Postoperatively, 102 patients reported subjective improvement in chin appearance, characterized by enhanced fullness and roundness of the chin. Thirty-one patients noted a slight elevation of the submental fat pad and improved definition of the cervicomental angle. The mean GAIS score was 1.61±0.78, with 76 cases scoring 1, 24 cases scoring 2, 10 cases scoring 3, and 10 cases scoring 4. Improvement (scores 1-3) was achieved in 91.7% (110/120) of patients. The subjective satisfaction rate was 85.0% (102/120), and 94 patients (78.3%) expressed willingness to undergo repeated injections and recommend the procedure to family or friends. Early postoperative complications included localized bruising in 17 cases, which was resolved within 10 d, and transient fine motor dysfunction of the lower jaw in 23 cases, with normal chewing, swallowing, and facial expressions, all of which were resolved completely within 6 weeks. No cases of mouth deviation, facial paralysis, allergic reactions, or other complications were observed.Conclusion:The application of BTX-A via intramuscular mentalis injection combined with intradermal deep-layer injection significantly improves both dynamic and static chin aesthetics. However, some common complications also ask for the further attention of practitioners.
