Objective To investigate prognostic value of serum levels of cathepsin B(CTSB)and NADPH oxidase 4(NOX4)in patients with sepsis associated acute kidney injury(S-AKI).Methods A total of 306 pa-tients with sepsis treated to the hospital from June 2023 to June 2024 were selected,including 192 patients with S-AKI(S-AKI group)and 114 patients without S-AKI(non-S-AKI group).According to the prognosis of S-AKI patients,they were divided into poor prognosis group(n=127)and non-poor prognosis group(n=65).The differences of CTSB and NOX4 in different groups were compared.Pearson analysis was conducted to analyze the correlation between CTSB,NOX4 and clinical indicators.The influencing factors of poor prognosis in S-AKI patients was analyzed according to multivariate Logistic regression.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the predictive value of CTSB and NOX4 on the poor prognosis of S-AKI pa-tients.Results Th e serum levels of CTSB,NOX4 and serum creatinine(SCr)in S-AKI group were signifi-cantly higher than those in non-S-AKI group(P＜0.05),while the mean arterial pressure and oxygenation in-dex were lower than those in non-S-AKI group(P＜0.05).Serum levels of CTSB and NOX4 in patients with sepsis were positively correlated with SCr(P＜0.05).Compared to non-poor prognosis group,the age,SCr,CTSB and NOX4 of patients in the poor prognosis group were higher,while the mean arterial pressure and ox-ygenation index were lower(P＜0.05).The increased mean arterial pressure and oxygenation index were pro-tective factors for poor prognosis in S-AKI patients(P＜0.05),and the increased age,SCr,CTSB and NOX4 levels were risk factors for poor prognosis in S-AKI patients(P＜0.05).ROC curve showed that the area un-der the curve(AUC)of CTSB combined with NOX4 was significantly higher than AUC of single detection of CTSB and NOX4(Z=4.066,P＜0.001,Z=3.801,P＜0.001).Conclusion The serum levels of CTSB and NOX4 in S-AKI patients are elevated,and can indirectly reflect kidney function.CTSB combined with NOX4 can significantly improve the prediction efficiency of poor prognosis in S-AKI patients,which has potential ap-plication value for clinical treatment and nursing.

Objective To explore the five-circuit and six-qi features of birth time and onset time of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL).Methods A total of 877 cases of children with ALL from Children's Hospital of Soochow University from June 2021 to February 2023 were collected,and their five-circuit and six-qi features of birth time and onset time were analyzed.And then the correlation of five-circuit and six-qi features of birth time and onset time with ALL was explored preliminarily,and the pathogenic characteristics of congenital factors and acquired pathogenic factors were revealed.Results(1)The children who were born in the year with the heavenly stems being bing(the 3rd of the ten heavenly stems)and ding(the 4th of the ten heavenly stems)and with the earthly branches being shen(the 8th of the twelve earthly branches)and you(the 9th of the twelve earthly branches)are prone to suffer from ALL,and the birth year of children with ALL had the five-circuit and six-qi features of the joining of guest circuit with dominant circuit being rebellious.ALL is commonly seen in the year with the heavenly stems being geng(the 7th of the ten heavenly stems)and xin(the 8th of the ten heavenly stems)and with the earthly branches being zi(the 1st of the twelve earthly branches)and chou(the 2nd of the twelve earthly branches),and the onset year of ALL in children had the five-circuit and six-qi features of the yearly circuit being gold-circuit and water-circuit,sitian-zaiquan yearly circuit qi being shaoyin monarch-fire with yangming dryness-gold,taiyin damp-earth with taiyang cold-water,and the qi-circuit assimilation relationship being celestial correspondence,same celestial correspondence,celestial correspondence in convergent year,disharmony,mildly-rebellious,and celestial restriction.Conclusion Gold-dryness and water-cold are the congenital factors and acquired pathogenic factors of ALL.The onset of ALL in children is closely related to qi insufficiency and qi stagnation of wood and fire in five-circuit and six-qi theory.

Objective To explore the effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with comprehensive rehabilitation therapy in children with autism.Methods A total of 120 children with autism who were admitted to Department of Rehabilitation Medicine,Nanjing Tongren Hospital from July 2020 to June 2023 were randomly divided into control group(60 cases,conventional rehabilitation therapy)and research group(60 cases,transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with comprehensive rehabilitation therapy).The scores of Psychoeducational Profile Third Edition(PEP-3),Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist(ATEC),Autism Behavior Checklist(ABC),Childhood Autism Rating Scale(CARS)were compared between the two groups.Results PEP-3 scores in all dimensions were increased in both groups after 6 months of treatment,and the scores in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group(all P<0.05).The scores of ATEC in all dimensions,CARS score,and ABC score were decreased in both groups after 6 months of treatment,and these scores in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group(all P<0.05).Conclusion Transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with comprehensive rehabilitation therapy can help to ameliorate core symptoms of children with autism.It is worthy of clinical promotion.

OBJECTIVE To summarize the implementation experiences of the China Hospital Association’s Clinical Pharmacist Instructor Training Program Reform， and to evaluate the effectiveness of the reform， thus continuously enhancing the quality and standards of clinical pharmacist instructor training. METHODS The study drew on project evaluation methodologies to summarize the main characteristics of the comprehensive system and new model for clinical pharmacist instructor training established through the reform by literature review. The “learning assessment” and “reaction assessment” were conducted by using Kirkpatrick’s four-level model of evaluation in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the clinical pharmacist instructor training reform through statistically processing and analyzing the performance data and teaching evaluation data of the instructor participants. Based on problem and trend analysis， the future development directions were anticipated for the reform of clinical pharmacist instructor training. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS The latest round of clinical pharmacist instructor training reform initiated by the Chinese Hospital Association had initially established a four-pronged training system encompassing “recruitment， training， assessment， and management”. It had also forged a training 。 model “oriented towards enhancing clinical teaching competency， with practical learning and skill-based assessment conducted on clinical teaching sites as its core”. Following a period of over three years of gradual reform， the new training system and model became increasingly mature. In both 2023 and 2024， the participants achieved relatively high average total scores in their initial completion assessments [with scores of （84.05± 5.83） and （85.82±4.35） points， respectively]. They also reported a strong sense of gain from the training reform [with self- perceived gain scores of （4.80±0.44） and （4.85±0.39） points， respectively]. The operation and implementation effects of the reform were generally satisfactory. In the future， clinical pharmacist instructor training reforms should continue to address the issues remaining from the current phase， while aligning with global trends in pharmacy education and industry development. Additionally， sustained exploration and practice will be carried out around the core objective of “enhancing clinical teaching competence”.

Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage(aSAH)is a type of hemorrhagic stroke with high morbidity and mortality.After treatment,most aSAH patients can completely recover their neurological func-tion,about 50％of aSAH patients will have cognitive disorder,mainly manifested as executive function,lan-guage and memory dysfunction,more than half of aSAH patients can not recover cognitive function,which brings great pressure to individuals and their families.This article aims to discuss the characteristics,influen-cing factors,assessment tools,potential mechanisms and drug therapy of post-ASAH cognitive disorder,in or-der to provide prevention and treatment strategies for clinical post-ASAH cognitive disorder.

Five previously undescribed diterpenoids, named succipenoids D‒H (1‒5), along with four undescribed lignans, named succignans A‒D (6‒9), were isolated from the dichloromethane extract of Chinese medicinal succinum. Compounds 1‒5 were characterized as nor-abietane diterpenoids, while compounds 6‒9 were identified as lignans polymerized from two groups of phenylpropanoid units. The structures of these novel compounds, including their absolute configurations, were determined through spectroscopic and computational methods. Biological assessments of renal fibrosis demonstrated that compounds 6 and 7 effectively reduce the expression of proteins associated with renal fibrosis, including α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), collagen I, and fibronectin in transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) induced normal rat kidney proximal tubular epithelial cells (NRK-52e).

Congenital orofacial cleft, the most common birth defect in the maxillofacial region, exhibits a wide range of prognosis depending on the severity of deformity and underlying etiology. Non-syndromic congenital orofacial clefts typically present with milder deformities and more favorable treatment outcomes, whereas syndromic congenital orofacial clefts often manifest with concomitant organ abnormalities, which pose greater challenges for treatment and result in poorer prognosis. This consensus provides an elaborate classification system for varying degrees of orofacial clefts along with corresponding diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines. Results serve as a crucial resource for families to navigate prenatal screening results or make informed decisions regarding treatment options while also contributing significantly to preventing serious birth defects within the development of population.

The peripheral pulmonary lesions are located far from the central airway and close to the pleura, so it is a challenge for clinical diagnosis of their nature through biopsy. Therefore, the Ion robot-assisted bronchoscopy system which has started its commercialization in China is proposed to diagnose and treat peripheral pulmonary lesions. The Ion system can be used for navigation, registration, biopsy and treatment. In this paper, the structural principle of the Ion system is expounded, and its technical advantages such as shape perception, slender catheter and flexible operation are summarized. It represents the latest development direction of the diagnosis and treatment of peripheral pulmonary lesions. Then, the clinical application and development status of the Ion system are analyzed and discussed in detail. Finally, the development trend of the robot-assisted bronchoscopy system is prospected, which provides new ideas for realizing the "integrated and one-stop" diagnosis and treatment services for peripheral pulmonary lesions based on this system.

African swine fever(ASF)caused by African swine fever virus(ASFV)is a febrile,hem-orrhage and highly fatal infectious disease in pigs,which poses a serious threat to the global pig in-dustry.Currently,no vaccine is available for the prevention and control of ASF,and several ASF vaccines,including gene deletion attenuated live vaccines,live vector vaccines,and subunit vaccines are under the development stage in the laboratory research.As one of the most promising vaccines,live vector vaccine has the characteristic of safety and simulation of the pathogen natural infection to effectively stimulate the innate and adaptive immune responses,which becomes one of the hotspots in the research and development of novel ASF vaccines.This review focuses on the pro-gress in using modified viruses as vectors for ASF live vector vaccines,and aims to provide valua-ble information for future development of safe and effective ASF vector vaccines.

Objective:To implement an overview of systematic reviews on the effects of brain-computer interface training on upper limb functional rehabilitation in stroke patients.Methods:The systematic review/Meta-analysis of the effect of brain-computer interface training on upper limb functional rehabilitation in stroke patients was electronically retrieved in PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, CINAHL, Embase, Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence-Based Health Care Center Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP and China Biology Medicine disc. The search period was from database establishment to November 2024. Two researchers independently performed literature screening and data extraction and evaluated the quality of methodology, reporting, and evidence.Results:A total of 14 systematic reviews/Meta-analyses were included. The results showed that brain-computer interface training helped to improve upper limb motor function, muscle strength and activities of daily living in stroke patients, but the rehabilitative effect on muscle spasm needed to be further confirmed.Conclusions:Brain-computer interface training helps to improve upper limb motor function, muscle strength and activities of daily living in stroke patients. However, the methodological quality and reporting quality of the current studies are poor, and there is still a need for high-quality studies with rigorous design and standardized process to provide reference for clinical practice.
