Medical institutions, with their clinical practice foundation and abundant human use experience data, have become important carriers for the inheritance and innovation of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) and the "cradles" of the preparation of new TCM. To effectively promote the transformation of new TCM originating from the TCM clinical practice in medical institutions and establish an effective evaluation index system for the transformation of new TCM conforming to the characteristics of TCM, consensus experts adopted the literature research, questionnaire survey, Delphi method, etc. By focusing on the policy and technical evaluation of new TCM originating from the TCM clinical practice in medical institutions, a comprehensive evaluation from the dimensions of drug safety, efficacy, feasibility, and characteristic advantages was conducted, thus forming a comprehensive evaluation system with four primary indicators and 37 secondary indicators. The expert consensus reached aims to encourage medical institutions at all levels to continuously improve the high-quality research and development and transformation of new TCM originating from the TCM clinical practice in medical institutions and targeted at clinical needs, so as to provide a decision-making basis for the preparation, selection, cultivation, and transformation of new TCM for medical institutions, improve the development efficiency of new TCM, and precisely respond to the public medication needs.

OBJECTIVES: To report the development, validation, and findings of the Multi-dimensional Attention Rating Scale (MARS), a self-report tool crafted to evaluate six-dimension attention levels. METHODS: The MARS was developed based on Classical Test Theory (CTT). Totally 202 highly educated healthy adult participants were recruited for reliability and validity tests. Reliability was measured using Cronbach's alpha and test-retest reliability. Structural validity was explored using principal component analysis. Criterion validity was analyzed by correlating MARS scores with the Toronto Hospital Alertness Test (THAT), the Attentional Control Scale (ACS), and the Attention Network Test (ANT). RESULTS: The MARS comprises 12 items spanning six distinct dimensions of attention: focused attention, sustained attention, shifting attention, selective attention, divided attention, and response inhibition.As assessed by six experts, the content validation index (CVI) was 0.95, the Cronbach's alpha for the MARS was 0.78, and the test-retest reliability was 0.81. Four factors were identified (cumulative variance contribution rate 68.79%). The total score of MARS was correlated positively with THAT (r = 0.60, P < 0.01) and ACS (r = 0.78, P < 0.01) and negatively with ANT's reaction time for alerting (r = -0.31, P = 0.049). CONCLUSIONS The MARS can reliably and validly assess six-dimension attention levels in real-world settings and is expected to be a new tool for assessing multi-dimensional attention impairments in different mental disorders.

To provide scientific, systematic, and standardized weight management guidance for overweight and obese children and adolescents, the study focuses on the core concept of healthy lifestyle intervention, integrates multidisciplinary expert opinions and research findings,and proposes a comprehensive multidisciplinary intervention framework covering scientific exercise intervention, precise nutrition and diet, optimized sleep management, and standardized psychological support. It calls for the establishment of a multi agent collaborative management mechanism led by the government, implemented by families, fostered by schools, initiated by individuals, optimized by communities, reinforced by healthcare, and coordinated by multiple stakeholders. Emphasizing a child and adolescent centered approach, the consensus advocates for comprehensive, multi level, and personalized guidance strategies to promote the internalization and maintenance of a healthy lifestyle. It serves as a reference and provides recommendations for the effective prevention and control of overweight and obesity, and enhancing the health level of children and adolescents.

Objective To explore the validity and feasibility of the left transthoracic and esophageal hiatal approach for Siewert type Ⅱ adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction under a single position.Methods The clinical data of 64 patients with Siewert type Ⅱ AEG(single position transthoracic approach group)treated with the left transthoracic and esophageal hiatal approach under a single position and 56 patients with the laparoscopic transesophageal slit approach(transabdominal approach group)in the Department of Thoracic Surgery,Huaihe Hospital of Henan University,from January 2017 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.The clinical and pathological data,perioperative indicators(operation time,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative first ambulation time,postoperative first peristalsis time,postoperative drainage volume at 3 d,incidence of postoperative complications,postoperative hospital stay),postoperative complications(positive surgical margin,proximal esophageal resection margin,tumor diameter,total number of dissected lymph nodes,positive lymph node dissection rate,postoperative histopathology,and TNM staging of tumor pathology),and survival indicators(tumor recurrence and metastasis rate and survival at 1 month,3 months,6 months,1 year,3 years,5 years after surgery)were compared between the two groups.Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the postoperative survival rate of the two groups.Univariate analysis using χ2 test was employed to analyze factors influencing 5-year postoperative survival rate in Siewert type Ⅱ AEG patients.Results No significant difference was observed in clinical and pathological data,such as gender,age,American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA)grade,tumor differentiation,pTNM stage,and tumor diameter between the two groups(P>0.05).No significant differences were noted in intraoperative blood loss,incidence of postoperative complications,and survival rates at 1 month,3 months,6 months,1 year,and 3 years after surgery between the two groups(P>0.05).The single position transthoracic approach group exhibited a higher postoperative drainage volume at 3 d compared to the transabdominal approach group(P<0.001),a shorter surgical time(P<0.001),a longer time to first mobilization,first intestinal peristalsis,and hospital stay after surgery(P<0.01),a longer proximal esophageal margin(P<0.001),a higher total number of lymph node dissections(P<0.001),and a higher positive lymph node dissection rate(P<0.05)than the transabdominal approach group.The 5-year recurrence-free survival rate of the single position transthoracic approach group was higher than that of the transabdominal approach group,with a statistically significant difference(P=0.013).The Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed no statistically significant difference in the 5-year overall survival rate between the two groups of patients after surgery(P=0.456).The results of univariate analysis indicated that there are significant relationships between tumor differentiation degree,pTNM stage,tumor diameter,and lymph node positivity rate with the 5-year postoperative survival rate in Siewert type Ⅱ AEG patients(P<0.05).Conclusion Siewert type Ⅱ AEG patients can be treated with the left transthoracic and esophageal hiatal approach under a single position,achieving the same effect as laparoscopic transesophageal slit approach,and it can be actively promoted as a complementary choice of operation in the clinic.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of liposomal amphotericin B (L-AmB) for the salvage treatment of invasive fungal disease (IFD) in patients with hematological diseases.Methods:Data were retrospectively collected from 80 patients with hematological issues treated with L-AmB between June 2023 and December 2023 after failure of previous antifungal therapy. Baseline patient information, clinical efficacy, and factors affecting the efficacy of L-AmB were analyzed by logistic regression. Moreover, adverse effects associated with L-AmB were evaluated.Results:Among the 80 patients, 9 (11.2%) had proven IFD, 43 (53.8%) had probable IFD, and 28 (35.0%) had possible IFD. The efficacy rate of L-AmB salvage therapy for IFD was 77.5%, with a median daily dose of 3 (range: 1-5) mg·kg -1·d -1 and a median dosing course of 14 (range: 8-25) days. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the disease remission status ( OR=4.337, 95% CI 1.167-16.122, P=0.029) and duration of medication ( OR=1.127, 95% CI 1.029-1.234, P=0.010) were independent factors affecting the efficacy of L-AmB. The incidence of infusion reactions associated with L-AmB, including fever and chills, was 5.0%. The incidence of hypokalemia was 28.8% (predominantly grades 1-2), and the incidence of nephrotoxicity was 11.3% (predominantly grades 1-2) . Conclusion:L-AmB is safe and effective in the treatment of patients with IFD who are intolerant to or who have experienced no effect of previous antifungal therapy, with a low rate of adverse reactions.

Objective To study the factors affecting hospital death in elderly patients with novel coronavirus infec-tion/disease 2019(COVID-19),and to build a risk prediction model.Methods According to the diagnostic criteria of Diagnosis and Treatment Protocol for COVID-19 Infection(Trial 10th Edition).Totally 775 elderly patients(≥60 years old)diagnosed as COVID-19 infection in the emergency department and fever clinic of the First Hospital of Changsha were selected as the research objects.General data and serum biomarkers of patients were collected.After treatment,the patients'data were divided into survival group and hospital death group.Binary Logistic regres-sion was used to screen the independent influencing factors of death,and ROC curve was used to analyze the pre-dictive value of related indicators on hospital death.Results After treatment,712 patients(91.9%)survived and 63 patients(8.3%)died in hospital.Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that:≥90 years old[OR=5.065,95%CI(1.427,17.974)],type 2 diabetes mellitus[OR= 3.757,95%CI(1.649,8.559)],COPD[OR= 5.625,95%CI(2.357,13.421)],monocyte ratio[OR=0.908,95%CI(0.857,0.963)],plasma fibringen[OR=1.376,95%CI(1.053,1.800)]and lactate dehydrogenase[OR=1.005,95%CI(1.001,o1.008)]were independent factors of in-hospital death(P＜0.05).The predictive value of diabetes mellitus+COPD+age+monocyte ratio+plasma fibrinogen+lactate dehydrogenase was proved in hospital death from COVID-19 infected patients:the area under the curve(AUC)was 0.883(95%CI:0.827,0.940,P＜0.001),the critical value≥0.710 suggested the risk of death in hospital,the specificity was 0.851,the sensitivity was 0.857.Conclusions The hospital mortality of the elderly after COVID-19 infection is higher and closely related to type 2 diabetes,COPD,monocyte ratio,plasma fibrinogen and lactate dehydrogenase.
