Objective: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of Chinese patent medicines and classic traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions were systematically reviewed from both Chinese and English journals published in 2023. A preliminary summary and evaluation were conducted on the generation and translation of clinical evidence for these treatments. This analysis aims to inform future research on clinical efficacy evaluation and guide the rational application of evidence. Methods: RCTs of Chinese patent medicines and classic traditional Chinese prescriptions published in 2023 were comprehensively retrieved from the Artificial Intelligence Clinical Evidence Database for Chinese Patent Medicine (AICED-CPM), with supplementary searches conducted in China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data, Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP), Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (SinoMed), Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science. The study characteristics and methodological quality of these RCTs were systematically analyzed and evaluated. Results: A total of 1 443 RCTs of Chinese patent medicines were included, comprising 1 399 Chinese articles and 44 English articles. Additionally, 334 RCTs of classic traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions were found, with 331 published in Chinese and 3 in English. 196 567 participants were included, covering 585 types of Chinese patent medicines (487 oral, 61 injectable, and 37 topical) and 179 classic traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions. The involved studies encompassed 22 types of diseases, with research primarily focusing on diseases of the circulatory system, the respiratory system, and the genitourinary system. The sample sizes ranged from 18 to 3 777 participants, and most studies were conducted at a single center. Methodologically, the implementation of allocation concealment and blinding remained insufficiently emphasized. Conclusion Overall, compared with 2022, both the number of RCT publications and their methodological quality have improved in 2023, with heightened attention to research on diseases of the genitourinary system. However, quality control and standardized management in the design and implementation processes still require enhancement to produce more high-quality clinical evidence and accelerate the translation and application of this evidence.

Objective: To explore the causal relationship between academic procrastination, negative emotions, self control, and smartphone addiction among college students, so as to provide theoretical reference for promoting their mental health and academic achievement. Methods: A multi stage cluster random sampling method was used to select 452 first year students from a university in Guangzhou as the research subjects. Procrastination Assessment Scale- Student (PASS), The Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21), Self Control Scale, and Short Version of the Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS-SV) were used as measurement tools. Three questionnaire surveys were completed in October 2024 (T1), February 2025 (T2), and May 2025 (T3). Coss lagged models were utilized to analyze the causal relationship between academic procrastination, negative emotions, self control, and smartphone addiction. Results: The SAS-SV scale for college students showed an average score of (40.52±1.96), with 43.1% of freshmen exhibiting smartphone addiction.Positive correlations were observed between academic procrastination, negative emotions, and smartphone addiction across different time points, while self control exhibited negative correlations with these three variables ( r = 0.30 -0.62, -0.72 to -0.34, all P <0.05). Cross lagged model results indicated that academic procrastination and negative emotions at T1 and T2 positively predicted smartphone addiction at T2 and T3 (T1→T2, β =0.22, 0.35; T2→T3, β =0.21, 0.24; all P < 0.05 ). Self control negatively predicted smartphone addiction (T1→T2, β =-0.32; T2→T3, β =-0.26; both P <0.05). In reverse causality regression models, smartphone addiction at T1 and T2 positively predicted academic procrastination and negative emotions at T2 and T3 (T1→T2, β =0.09, 0.24; T2→T3, β =0.10, 0.35; all P <0.05), but no statistically significant predictions were found for self control (T1→T2, β =-0.04; T2→T3, β =-0.03; both P >0.05). Conclusion Academic procrastination and negative emotions exhibit bidirectional causality with smartphone addiction among college students, while self control unidirectionally predicts smartphone addiction.

The incidence of hypertriglyceridemic acute pancreatitis(HTG-AP)has been gradually rising in recent years.According to published findings,high triglyceride levels are strongly associated with the severity of acute pancreatitis,and may lead to a higher incidence of complications and worse prognosis.However,the risk factors associated with HTG-AP have not been systematically explored.Early identification and effective management of high triglyceride levels and other potential causes thereof are crucial for reducing the recurrence of acute pancreatitis in clinical practice.Herein,we reviewed the predictive factors of HTG-AP from the perspectives of etiology,pathogenesis,and the relevant biomarkers,such as C-reactive protein,Ca2+,PT,and D-dimer.We aim to provide important early warning signals for clinicians,thereby helping develop personalized treatment protocols and building a more accurate risk prediction model.

Objective To explore the application effect of nursing intervention based on empow-erment theory in treatment of facial photoaging with fractional ablative fractional laser.Methods A total of 90 patients with facial photoaging who underwent fractional ablative fractional laser treatment were selected and divided into control group and observation group according to random number table method,with 45 cases in each group.The control group received routine nursing intervention,while the observation group received nursing intervention based on empowerment theory.The skin condi-tion,the incidence of adverse reactions,psychological state[Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS),Self-Rating Depression Scale(SDS)]scores,and quality of life[Dermatology Life Quality Index(DLQI)]scores were compared between the two groups.Results After intervention,the percentages of skin characteristics such as enlarged facial pores,wrinkles,and spots in the observation group were higher than those in the control group;the incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(8.89％ versus 24.44％);the SAS scores,SDS scores,and total DLQI scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group,with statistically sig-nificant differences(P＜0.05).Conclusion Nursing intervention based on empowerment theory can effectively improve the facial skin condition of patients with facial photoaging treated with fraction-al ablative fractional laser,reduce the incidence of adverse reactions,alleviate negative emotions,and enhance quality of life.

Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by the host disordered response to infections.As one of the most important innate immune cells in the body，macrophages can maintain the immune homeostasis by recruiting other immune cells，clearing pathogens，presenting antigens，and play important regulatory roles in infectious diseases such as sepsis by releasing inflammatory factors.As a critical neurotransmitter，dopamine not only participates in the neurological processes such as learning and cognition，but also regulates the immune processes，including regulating the activation，proliferation and functional changes of immune cells such as neutrophils，lymphocytes，monocytes and macrophages.Current studies demonstrate that during the infection and inflammation process of sepsis，the phagocytosis，polarization，and release of inflammatory factors of macrophages are regulated by dopamine.This review summarized the recent research progress on the regulatory functions and the underlying mechanisms of dopamine on macrophages in sepsis.

Diabetic ulcer (DU), one of the common and serious complications in patients with diabetes mellitus, often leads to infection, necrosis and amputation, and has a long and costly treatment period. Because of DU's unclear healing mechanism and the difficulty of delayed healing, its treatment and management have been a major challenge in clinical medicine. In recent years, the potential role of mitochondrial autophagy in DU has become a research hotspot with the in-depth study of mitochondrial autophagy mechanism. Previous studies have shown that mitochondrial autophagy is an important intracellular self-repair mechanism that plays a crucial role in maintaining cellular health and functional stability. During the development of DU, mitochondrial autophagy plays multiple roles in attenuating oxidative stress and inflammatory responses, maintaining mitochondrial functional homeostasis, influencing cell proliferation and repair capacity during DU healing, promoting DU healing, and enhancing antimicrobial capacity. In this paper, we illustrate the multiple roles played by mitochondrial autophagy in DU prevention and treatment, as well as the potential applications of mitochondrial autophagy in DU therapy. It is expected to provide a basis for the clinical application of mitochondrial autophagy in DU treatment, and provide more effective strategies and solutions for the treatment of DU.
