This paper summarizes Professor WANG Xixing's clinical experience in treating immune checkpoint inhibitor-related pneumonitis (CIP) based on the theory of "cough attributed to the five zang (脏) organs". Cough is a common predominant symptom of CIP. According to the theory of "cough attributed to the five zang organs", drug toxicity triggers cancer toxin, leading to disharmony among the five zang organs, and then lung failing to diffuse and govern descent as the core pathogenesis. Therefore, treatment should focus on harmonizing the five zang organs to restore the normal function of lung qi to diffuse and govern descent. In clinical practice, CIP can be classified into four syndrome patterns, including lung yin depletion, deficiency of both the lung and the spleen with phlegm-dampness, liver fire harassing the lung, and lung-kidney yin deficiency. Correspondingly, Chaimai Jinluo Runfei Decoction (柴麦金络润肺汤) is used to nourish yin and moisten the lung; Qigui Peitu Huayin Decoction (芪桂培土化饮汤) is used to fortify the spleen and tonify the lung, resolve dampness and dispel phlegm; Chaidan Shuyu Runjin Decoction (柴丹疏郁润金汤) is used to drain liver and clear the lung; and Dimai Jinshui Xiangsheng Decoction (地脉金水相生汤) is used to nourish the kidney and moisten the lung.

Objective:
To understand the current status and related factors of oral health behavior in preschool children, so as to provide scientific basis for improving parents oral health care abilities.
Methods:
From March 5 to 12, 2024, using a stratified cluster sampling method, an online questionnaire survey was conducted among parents of 1 381 preschool children aged 3-6 from 6 selected kindergartens of a district in Beijing. A structural equation model (SEM) was constructed based on the Theory of Planned Behavior framework to analyze the factors associated with preschool children s oral health behaviors.
Results:
The rates of parental assistance in brushing teeth, regular oral examination, and postprandial rinsing were 44.4%, 18.6% and 23.6%, respectively. Attitude, subjective norms were positively correlated with oral health behavior intention ( r =0.61, 0.55); attitude, perceived behavioral control, and behavioral intention were positively correlated with oral health behavior ( r =0.14, 0.13, 0.16) (all P < 0.01 ). The results of the SEM showed that attitude and subjective norms had a significant direct effect on oral health behavior intention ( β = 0.42 , 0.40), and the direct effect of perceived behavioral control on oral health behavior was statistically significant ( β =0.42) (all P <0.01).
Conclusions
The overall level of oral health behavior among preschool children needs to be improved. Perceived behavioral control is the most direct positive related factor of oral health behavior. In the future, intervention measures should focus on perceived behavioral control as the entry point and provide systematic intervention guidance in combination with planned behavior theory.

Objective:To investigate the safety and effectiveness of the clinical application of minimally invasive transcatheter patent foramen ovale occlusion.Methods:A total of 123 patients who underwent transcatheter patent foramen ovale (PFO) occlusion at the Department of Cardiac Surgery of Beijing Anzhen Hospital from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023, were retrospectively analyzed. According to the surgical protocol, this study divided the patients into the conventional occlusion group (Group A, 53 cases) and the minimal invasive occlusion group (Group B, 70 cases). The patients were followed up for at least six months after surgery to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the new method.Results:The surgical success rate was 100% in both groups. Intraoperative fluoroscopy time decreased by over 50% (7 min in group A and 3 min in group B, P<0.001). At the six-month postoperative follow-up, contrast-enhanced transcranial Doppler ultrasound sonography revealed seven positive results, two of which indicated large shunts. It was further reviewed for combined pulmonary arteriovenous fistula. One patient experienced a recurrence of stroke after the surgery. The patients' overall migraine and transient ischemia attack (TIA) were significantly relieved, and their overall VAS scores decreased significantly compared to the previous ones. Conclusion:The minimally invasive transcatheter PFO occlusion procedure is safe, reliable, and cost-effective. It warrants further follow-up and promotion. Meanwhile, transcatheter PFO occlusion is an effective treatment for preventing recurrent stroke and relieving symptoms like migraine and TIA in patients.

Objective:To investigate the incidence of basal ganglia calcification (BGC), and risk factors for BGC in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients.Methods:A total of 730 patients with nervous system diseases hospitalized in Department of Neurology, Shanghai Punan Hospital of Pudong New Area from January 2023 to December 2023 were enrolled. These patients were divided into AIS group ( n=380) and non-AIS group ( n=350). Propensity score matching (PSM) was firstly used for 1:1 matching to eliminate the differences in baseline data of these patients; BGC incidence was compared between the two groups. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were used to screen the independent risk factors for BGC in AIS patients. Results:After PSM, there were 251 patients in the AIS group and 251 patients in the non-AIS group. No significant difference was noted between the two groups in age, gender, histories of hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, smoking and drinking, ratio of previous stroke, and serum calcium, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, homocysteine, uric acid, estimated glomerular filtration rate, or parathyroid hormone ( P>0.05). BGC incidence in the AIS group was 33.1% (83/251), with mild BGC in 55 patients (21.9%), moderate BGC in 19 patients (7.6%), and severe BGC in 9 patients (3.6%). BGC incidence in the AIS group was significantly higher than that in the non-AIS group (33.1% vs. 16.7%, P<0.05). Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses showed that female ( OR=1.842, 95% CI: 1.021-3.324, P=0.043) and diabetes ( OR=1.953, 95% CI: 1.205-3.167, P=0.007) were independent risk factors for BGC in AIS patients. Conclusion:Compared with non-AIS patients, AIS patients trend to have BGC; female AIS patients with diabetes mellitus are more likely to have BGC.
