As the core vehicle for preserving and transmitting traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) academic thought and clinical experience, the establishment of a robust quality evaluation system for TCM clinical case reports is a crucial component in the current standardization and modernization of TCM. Based on the practical experience of constructing the China Clinical Cases Library of Traditional Chinese Medicine by the China Association of Chinese Medicine, this study conducted a comprehensive analysis of critical challenges, including insufficient authenticity and unfocused evaluation criteria. It proposed a three-dimensional evaluation framework grounded in the structure-process-outcome logic, encompassing three dimensions of authenticity and standardization, characteristics and advantages, application and translational impact. This framework integrated 12 key evaluation indicators in a systematic manner. The model preserved the academic characteristics of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment, while aligning with modern scientific research standards, achieving a balance between individualized TCM experience and standardized evaluation. Concurrently, this study provided theoretical foundations and methodological guidance for evaluating the quality of TCM clinical cases, contributing significantly to the inheritance of TCM knowledge, evidence-based practice, and the reform of talent evaluation mechanisms.

Objective:To explore the value of non-invasive habitat imaging (HI) multi-parametric MRI (mpMRI) in predicting the risk of prostate cancer (PCa).Methods:In this cross-sectional study, 220 patients with PCa confirmed by radical prostatectomy (RP) who underwent multi-parametric MRI (mpMRI) scanning at Xijing Hospital, Air Force Military Medical University from January 2018 to May 2024 were retrospectively collected. Patients were divided into a training set (154 cases) and a test set (66 cases) by simple random sampling in a 7∶3 ratio. Based on mpMRI imaging, the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), perfusion fraction (f), and mean kurtosis (MK) of each voxel were integrated. The K-means clustering algorithm was used to divide the PCa target lesions into habitat subregions, generate habitat maps, and calculate the proportion of each habitat subregion in the entire lesion. According to the 2019 International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) guidelines, patients were categorized into a low-risk group (ISUP≤2, 65 cases) and a high-risk group (ISUP≥3, 155 cases). The RP specimens were matched with the habitat map to identify corresponding habitat subregions, and the ISUP grade of each subregion was individually evaluated to calculate the detection rate of high-risk PCa patients. The logistic regression analysis was applied to identify the independent risk factors associated with PCa risk, and the HI-clinical imaging model and clinical imaging model were constructed. The efficacy of the models was assessed using receiver operating characteristic curve.Results:Based on the optimal cluster number, the habitat was divided into three subregions. Habitat 1 had lower ADC and f values and higher MK values, while habitat 2 had the opposite characteristics, and habitat 3 was intermediate. The proportion of habitat 1 in the high-risk group was 28.8%, in the low-risk group was 8.9%. In the training set, the comparison of habitat subregions with pathological results showed that the detection rate of high-risk lesions was 66.9% (103/154) in habitat 1, 25.3% (39/154) in habitat 2, and 47.4% (73/154) in habitat 3. The logistic regression analysis indicated that the proportion of habitat 1 ( OR=3.03, 95% CI 1.77-5.18, P<0.001), prostate-specific antigen ( OR=1.66, 95% CI 1.04-2.66, P=0.034), and the prostate imaging reporting and data system score ( OR=1.65, 95% CI 1.00-2.70, P=0.048) as independent risk factors for high-risk PCa. In the training set, the area under the curve (AUC) for predicting PCa risk was 0.854 (95% CI 0.789-0.920) for the HI-clinical imaging model and 0.779 (95% CI 0.701-0.856) for the clinical imaging model. In the test set, the AUC values were 0.809 (95% CI 0.693-0.895) and 0.738 (95% CI 0.619-0.856), respectively. Conclusion:HI based on mpMRI can effectively predict the risk of PCa.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of body posture combined with pharmacotherapy and pharmacotherapy alone in the treatment of chronic subdural hematoma(CSDH).Methods:Firstly, retrospective case series study was conducted. Thirty cases of CSDH that had received body posture combined with pharmacotherapy at Department of Neurosurgery, Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University from December 2016 to October 2020 were studied retrospectively. Twenty-seven patients were male, and 3 patients were female. The age of patients ( M(IQR)) was 66(16) years (range:28 to 84). Nineteen patients had unilateral hematoma, and 11 patients had bilateral hematoma. All patients received pharmacotherapy and body posture therapy that was to raise their lower limbs 20 to 30 cm with leg lift pad and get abdominal compressed with customized abdominal belt in supine position. Patients were required to maintain the body posture as much as possible, with the maximum to 16 to 18 hours per day. Patients with unilateral hematoma should tilt the head to the affected side and avoid tilting it to the opposite side. For patients with bilateral hematoma, there was no need for head lateralization. Patient were treated with oral dexamethasone and atorvastatin simultaneously. The preliminary efficacy of body posture combined with pharmacotherapy was determined by hematoma improvement rate which was analyzed by Clopper-Pearson method. Then, the multi-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial had carried out in 9 medical centers from August 2020 to November 2021. The stratified block randomization method was adopted. Patients were randomized in a ratio of 1∶1 to either receive pharmacotherapy alone(the control group) or body posture combined with pharmacotherapy(the experiment group) for 3 months and followed up for 6 months. Effective treatment was defined as complete absorption of hematoma, or the hematoma volume decreased by more than 10 ml and Markwalder grading scale score had improved by more than 1 point compared to the baseline. The efficacy rate and surgery conversion rate at 3 months and recurrence at 6 months were observed. Comparison between groups was performed with paired sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test, χ2 test, corrected χ2 test, or Fisher exact probability method. Logistic regression was used to compare the effective rate and operation rate between the two groups. Results:In the respective study, 30 patients completed follow-up 13 to 353 days after treatment. At the last follow-up, the incidence of almost complete absorption or significantly absorption of hematoma (hematoma volume was significantly reduced accompanied by symptom improvement) was 93.3%. The 95% CI for the incidence that analyzed by the Clopper-Pearson method was 77.9% to 99.2%. One hundred and six patients were enrolled in the multicenter study. Fifty-five patients underwent body posture combined with pharmacotherapy. The age was 74(17) years (range:26 to 92). Thirty-nine patients were males and 16 were females. Fifty-one patients underwent pharmacotherapy alone. The age was 69(12) years (range:48 to 84). Thirty-seven patients were males and 14 were females. The length of body posture recorded in diary card was (15.7±2.3) hours(range:7.6 to 19.3 hours). The efficacy rate in the body posture combined with pharmacotherapy group and pharmacotherapy alone group were 83.6% (46/55) and 56.9% (29/51), respectively at 3 months. The result of the logistic regression analysis showed that the efficacy of body posture combined with pharmacotherapy group was better than that of pharmacotherapy alone group ( OR=3.88,95% CI:1.57 to 9.58, P=0.003). Surgery rate in the body posture combined with pharmacotherapy group and pharmacotherapy alone group were 5.5% (3/55) and 21.6% (11/51) respectively. The result of Logistic regression showed that the pharmacotherapy alone group was more likely to be converted to surgery ( OR=0.21,95% CI:0.05 to 0.80, P=0.023). At the 6 months, no recurrence of cases was found in the body posture combined with pharmacotherapy group. However, the recurrence rate of pharmacotherapy alone group was 6.3% (3/48), there was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The effect of body posture combined with pharmacotherapy for chronic subdural hematoma is better than that of pharmacotherapy alone.

Objective:To explore the safety and efficacy of intraosseous regional administration (IORA) of vancomycin for preventing infection in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods:A total of 124 patients with knee osteoarthritis undergoing TKA between February 2024 and May 2024 at nine hospitals were enrolled. Preoperative infection prophylaxis involved either IORA (0.5 g vancomycin administered via intraosseous regional infusion before incision) or intravenous infusion (1 g vancomycin via peripheral vein). The IORA group included 15 males and 47 females with a median age of 66.5 years (range, 60.0-70.0 years), while the intravenous group included 14 males and 48 females with a median age of 66.0 years (range, 61.8-70.3 years) years. Intraoperative samples were collected including fat and synovium tissues after incision, before prosthesis placement, and after tourniquet release; distal femoral cancellous bone during femoral osteotomy; proximal tibial cancellous bone during tibial osteotomy; proximal intercondylar cancellous bone before prosthesis placement; and peripheral blood from non-infused arms at surgery initiation and after tourniquet release. Vancomycin concentrations were measured using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Vital sign changes were recorded from admission to 5~10 minutes post-IORA (IORA group) or post-incision (intravenous group). Follow-ups were conducted on postoperative day 1 and 3, and at 1 and 3 months, to document complications including IORA-related adverse events, periprosthetic joint infections, surgical site infections, red man syndrome, acute kidney injury, deep vein thrombosis and so on.Results:Vancomycin concentrations in bone, fat, and synovial tissue samples were significantly higher in the IORA group than in the intravenous group ( P<0.05), while vancomycin concentrations in blood samples were significantly lower in the IORA group than in the intravenous group ( P<0.05). Only 7.3%(41/558) of tissue samples in the IORA group had vancomycin concentrations below 2.0 μg/g (the minimum inhibitory concentration of vancomycin against coagulase-negative staphylococcus), compared to 59.3%(331/558) in the intravenous group (χ 2=11.285, P<0.001). In the intravenous group, 16.9%(21/124) of blood samples had vancomycin concentrations exceeding 15.0 mg/L (the threshold associated with a significantly increased risk of nephrotoxicity), while all concentrations in the IORA group were below this threshold, the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=22.943, P<0.001). There were no statistically significant difference ( P>0.05) in vital signs changes before and after vancomycin administration between the two groups. Two patients in the intravenous group experienced incision exudate, while no other related complications occurred in either group. Conclusions:Compared to the traditional intravenous infusion of 1 g vancomycin, intraosseous injection of a low dose (0.5 g) of vancomycin achieves higher local tissue concentrations in the knee joint with a lower incidence of adverse reactions and is safe for infection prophylaxis. Despite guidelines not recommending the routine use of vancomycin for preventing infection after primary TKA, intraosseous injection of 0.5 g vancomycin may be considered intraoperatively for primary TKA in the following scenarios: patients in medical institutions with a high prevalence of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections, patients with potential preoperative MRSA colonization, or patients with cephalosporin allergy.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between membranous urethral length (MUL) and early urinary continence recovery after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 71 prostate cancer patients who underwent RARP by a single surgeon at the PLA General Hospital between January 2020 and December 2023. Patient characteristics included: age of (65.32±6.04) years, BMI (25.21 ± 2.59) kg/m 2, prostate volume 32.41 (24.75, 44.40) ml, PSA 11.67 (8.22, 22.66) ng/ml. Gleason score [6/7/8/9-10: 15 (21.2%)/29 (40.8%)/16 (22.5%)/11 (15.5%)], Clinical stage [cT 1/cT 2/cT 3: 4 (5.6%)/61 (85.9%)/6 (8.5%)]. Measured MUL using multiparametric prostate MRI, median MUL was 13.25 (10.41-14.99) mm. Neurovascular bundle (NVB) preservation in 13 (18.3%) cases. Patients were grouped based on continence recovery at 1 and 3 months post-catheter removal. Age, BMI, prostate volume, PSA, Gleason score, clinical stage, NVB preservation, pathological stage, catheter indwelling time, and MUL were compared between groups. Multivariate analysis identified independent predictors of continence recovery. Results:All 71 surgeries were successful, pathological stage [pT 2/pT 3-4: 47 (66.2%)/24 (33.8%)], and catheter indwelling time 2.7 (2.0, 3.0) weeks. Follow-up data at 2 months were available for 71 patients, at 1 month, 42 patients achieved continence (continence group) and 29 had incontinence (incontinence group).No significant differences were observed between continence and incontinence groups in age [(64.93±6.48)years vs. (65.79±5.89) years], BMI [(26.26±2.52)kg/m 2 vs. (24.52±2.42) kg/m 2], prostate volume [32.00 (24.12, 41.11)ml vs. 33.00 (25.27, 47.97) ml], PSA [12.55 (8.31, 24.00) ng/ml vs. 11.30 (7.92, 20.65) ng/ml], Gleason score [6/7/8/9-10: 6 (14.2%)/18 (42.9%)/12 (28.6%)/6 (14.3%) vs. 9 (31.0%)/11 (37.9%)/4 (13.8%)/5 (17.3%)], clinical stage [cT 1/cT 2/cT 3: 2 (4.8%)/35 (83.3%)/5 (11.9%) vs. 2 (6.9%)/26 (89.7%)/1 (3.4%)], NVB preservation [7 (16.7%) vs. 6 (20.7%)], pathological stage [pT 2/pT 3-4: 27 (64.3%)/15 (35.7%) vs. 20 (69.0%)/9 (31.0%)], or catheter indwelling time [2.6(2.0, 3.0) weeks vs. 2.9 (2.0, 3.4) weeks]. However, MUL was significantly longer in the continence group [13.77 (11.70, 15.32) mm vs. 10.32 (9.65, 13.57) mm, P<0.01]. Follow-up data at 3 months were available for 69 patients, At 3 months, 61 patients achieved continence (continence group) and 8 remained incontinent (incontinence group). No significant differences were observed in age [(64.89±6.25)years vs. (68.13±4.09) years], BMI [(25.34±2.64)kg/m 2 vs. (24.36±2.49) kg/m 2], prostate volume [32.41 (24.44, 44.16)ml vs. 36.13 (27.48, 48.26) ml], PSA [12.50 (8.28, 22.76)ng/ml vs. 13.34 (5.88, 23.39) ng/ml], Gleason score [6/7/8/9-10: 12 (19.7%)/25 (41.0%)/14 (23.0%)/10 (16.3%) vs. 3 (37.5%)/3 (37.5%)/2 (25.0%)/0], clinical stage [cT 1/cT 2/cT 3: 3 (4.9%)/52 (85.2%)/6 (9.8%) vs. 1 (12.5%)/7 (87.5%)/0], NVB preservation [9 (14.8%) vs. 3 (37.5%)], pathological stage [pT 2/pT 3-4: 41 (67.2%)/20 (32.8%) vs. 5 (62.5%)/9 (31.0%)], or catheter indwelling time [2.7(2.0, 3.0)weeks vs. 3.0 (2.3, 3.7) weeks]. MUL remained significantly longer in the continence group [13.57 (10.57, 15.10)mm vs. 10.12 (9.36, 10.42) mm, P=0.002]. Multivariate logistic regression incorporating age, BMI, prostate volume, MUL, NVB preservation, and catheter indwelling time identified MUL as an independent protective factor for continence recovery at both 1 month [ OR=0.62, 95 CI 0.49-0.79, P<0.01] and 3 months [ OR=0.61, 95 CI 0.41-0.92, P=0.017]. Conclusions:MUL is independently associated with early urinary continence recovery after RARP, serving as a protective predictor at both 1 and 3 months after catheter removal.

Objective:This study investigated the independent risk factors for lymph node metastasis(LNM)in high-risk prostate cancer(HRPCa)patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy(RARP),and constructed a nomogram model based on clinical data to improve the accuracy and clinical practicality of preoperative prediction of LNM.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 218 HRPCa patients who received RARP treatment at the First Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital from January 2020 to March 2025 as the modeling group. The age of the modeling group was(66.91±6.94)years old. 75 cases(34.40%)had a history of smoking,and 48 cases(22.02%)had a history of drinking. There were a body mass index(BMI)of 25.55(23.58,27.00)kg/m 2,a total prostate-specific antigen(tPSA)of 20.59(10.42,30.61)ng/ml,a free prostate-specific antigen(fPSA)of 1.87(1.04,3.26)ng/ml,a prostate volume(PV)of(41.19±21.00)ml,a prostate-specific antigen density(PSAD)of 0.52(0.30,0.84)ng/ml 2. Among the patients,60 cases(27.52%)had a preoperative biopsy Gleason score >8,and the percentage of positive biopsy cores(PPBC)was 50%(31%,80%). Thirty-one patients(14.22%)were staged clinically as >T 2c. The diagnostic criteria for high-risk prostate cancer(HRPCa)were defined as meeting any one of the following:PSA >20 ng/ml,Gleason score on prostate biopsy ≥8,or clinical stage ≥T 3. Among the 218 patients in the modeling cohort,67 cases(30.73%)met two of the criteria,and 7 cases(3.21%)met all three criteria. All 218 patients underwent RARP,and based on postoperative pathology,they were divided into the LNM group and the non-LNM group. The relationship between the number of diagnostic criteria met and the occurrence of LNM was analyzed. An external validation cohort included 42 HRPCa patients who underwent RARP at the Third,Fifth Medical Centers of the PLA General Hospital between January 2023 and May 2025. Their mean age was(66.79±5.92)years. Eighteen patients(42.86%)had a smoking history,and nine(21.43%)had a history of alcohol consumption. The median BMI was 26.00(23.80,27.13)kg/m 2. The median tPSA level was 17.34(8.97,27.30)ng/ml. The median fPSA was 1.51(0.83,2.52)ng/ml,and the median PV was(35.57 ± 15.25)ml. The median PSAD was 0.57(0.23,0.87)ng/ml 2,and the median PPBC was 58%(36%,71%). Three patients(7.14%)had a clinical stage >T 2c,and 12 patients(28.57%)had a Gleason score >8 on preoperative biopsy. Univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression analyses were used to identify independent risk factors for LNM,and a nomogram model was constructed based on these factors. The predictive performance of the model was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves and calibration plots,and the model was validated in the external cohort. Result:According to postoperative pathology,45 patients were classified into the LNM group,and 173 into the non-LNM group. The probability of LNM increased proportionally with the number of diagnostic criteria met for HRPCa(meeting two criteria: OR = 4.762,95% CI 2.323-9.761, P < 0.01;meeting three criteria: OR = 10.667,95% CI 2.187-52.025, P=0.003). Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that age( OR=0.913,95% CI 0.859-0.971, P = 0.004),tPSA( OR=1.039,95% CI 1.018-1.061, P<0.01),PPBC( OR = 5.656,95% CI 1.101-29.056, P = 0.038),and clinical T stage(T 2c stage: OR=2.945,95% CI 0.888-9.769, P=0.077;>T 2c stage OR = 18.351,95% CI 4.790-70.306, P < 0.01)were independent risk factors for postoperative LNM in HRPCa patients after RARP. The ROC curve of the nomogram model based on these factors showed an area under the curve(AUC)of 0.853(95% CI 0.790-0.917). In the external validation cohort,the nomogram achieved an AUC of 0.743(95% CI 0.556-0.929). The calibration plots demonstrated good agreement between the predicted probabilities and actual observations. Conclusions:Age,tPSA,PPBC,and clinical T stage were independent predictors of postoperative LNM in HRPCa patients undergoing RARP. The greater the number of HRPCa diagnostic criteria met,the higher the likelihood of postoperative LNM. The nomogram developed in this study could effectively predict the risk of LNM in HRPCa patients after RARP.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors for positive surgical margins(PSM)after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy(RARP),and to develop and validate a predictive nomogram.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathological data of 874 prostate cancer patients who underwent RARP performed by a single surgeon at the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital between January 2012 and December 2018. Patients were divided into positive surgical margin(n=327)and negative surgical margin(n=547)groups based on postoperative margin status.The PSM group had significantly higher preoperative median tPSA[31.200(19.050,54.400)ng/ml vs. 15.050(9.840,27.590)ng/ml, P<0.01],higher proportion of patients with PSAD>1 ng/ml 2[49.5%(162/327)vs. 21.2%(116/547), P<0.01],biopsy Gleason score ≥8[33.3%(109/327)vs. 21.2%(116/547), P<0.01],ISUP grade 4-5[33.3%(109/327)vs. 21.2%(116/547), P<0.01],clinical T stage ≥cT 3[11.3%(37/327)vs. 4.2%(23/547), P<0.01],and high-risk classification[82.3%(269/327)vs. 55.9%(306/547), P<0.01]compared to the negative surgical margin group. Conversely,the PSM group had a lower prevalence of hypertension[29.7%(97/327)vs. 40.2%(220/547), P=0.002].Patients were randomly split into a training cohort(n=656,75%)and an internal validation cohort(n=218,25%). An external validation cohort included 71 patients who underwent RARP by different surgeons between January 2014 and December 2016. No significant differences in baseline characteristics were observed between cohorts( P>0.05).Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses identified independent predictors of PSM,which were incorporated into a nomogram. Predictive performance was assessed using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves,decision curve analysis(DCA),and calibration curve. Internal and external validations were performed. Results:The PSM group had longer postoperative hospitalization[6(5,8)vs. 6(5,7)days, P=0.028],higher rates of pathologic Gleason score ≥8[41.5%(115/277)vs. 24.9%(111/446), P<0.01],ISUP grade 4-5[41.5%(115/277)vs. 24.9%(111/446), P<0.01],pT 3 stage[52.3%(171/327)vs. 17.4%(95/547), P<0.01],pN 1 stage[12.8%(42/327)vs. 3.8%(21/547), P<0.01],extracapsular extension[52.3%(171/327)vs. 17.4%(95/547), P<0.01],and seminal vesicle invasion[34.6%(113/327)vs. 9.1%(50/547), P<0.01].Multivariate analysis identified elevated tPSA( OR=1.014,95% CI 1.004—1.024,P=0.006)and PSAD ≥0.15 ng/(ml/g)( OR=11.638,95% CI 1.450—93.396,P=0.021)as independent risk factors for PSM. The area under the ROC curve(AUC)of the nomogram constructed based on the above variables was 0.770(95% CI 0.735—0.805). The AUC values for the internal and external validation sets were 0.698(95% CI 0.630—0.767)and 0.643(95% CI 0.513—0.774),respectively. The calibration curve demonstrated good agreement between the predicted and observed outcomes,and the DCA indicated that the predictive model has potential clinical utility in decision-making. Conclusion:tPSA and PSAD were identified as independent risk factors for PSM. The nomogram constructed based on these two independent predictive variables effectively predicted PSM after RARP.

Objective:To compare the changes in fracture displacement under different vertical loadings between the 2 different internal fixation modalities for vertically unstable femoral neck fractures of Pauwels type Ⅲ by a mechanical study and a finite element analysis.Methods:Twelve biomimic bones were transversely dissected from 10 cm below the lesser trochanter of the femur to create femoral neck fracture models with a Pauwels angle of 70° using a swing saw. The models were equally divided into 2 groups ( n=6): group A was fixed with 3 cannulated screws after fracture reduction (scheme A), and group B with 3 cannulated screws plus a self-designed anteromedial support plate after fracture reduction (scheme B). Continuous vertical force was applied using a mechanical testing machine. Changes in displacement were recorded and load-displacement curves were plotted. One volunteer (female, 28 years old, 168 cm in height and 65 kg in weight) was selected for finite element analysis of her CT images of both lower limbs to examine the maximum displacement and the maximum Mises stress in scheme A and scheme B respectively. Results:In groups A and B respectively: All the 6 biomimic mimetic bones had similar load and displacement curves, and similar fracture displacements (Dx) at different loading points (N X); the curves of 6 biomimic bones were highly fitted with S-shaped curve equation (the r-square value was close to 1). At the initial loading stage (0 N
