The Proctor's reporting guideline for implementation strategies represents a landmark framework in the field of implementation science, aiming to address the issue of inconsistent reporting in implementation research by standardizing the naming, definition, and operationalization of implementation strategies, thereby enhancing the credibility and utility of research findings. This paper provides an in-depth interpretation of the core connotations of this reporting guideline and illustrates its application in developing interview outlines and specifying implementation strategies, using a brief smoking cessation intervention project as a case study. Through this reporting guideline, abstract recommendations for implementation are systematically transformed into clear, multidimensional operational guides, significantly improving the transparency of strategy connotations and the replicability of actual execution. Meanwhile, the case study highlights the flexibility of the guideline, which allows researchers to adapt the content and format of strategies based on local resources and cultural contexts, thus enhancing practical adaptability while maintaining scientific rigor. However, the application of Proctor's reporting guideline still faces challenges, primarily manifested in the potential confusion surrounding the constructs of temporality and dose in practice, as well as the challenges that the inherent flexibility of the guideline may pose to the assessment of fidelity and effectiveness. Despite these limitations, the reporting guideline remains a vital tool for implementation research; future efforts should focus on optimizing its application—through refining operational guidelines, standardizing flexible adaptations, and involving stakeholders—to better guide implementation studies and continuously promote high-quality development in the field.

Objective: To explore the impact of personalized early treatment appliances (ETA) on the relationship between dental and maxillofacial structures in patients with ClassⅡ malocclusion during the replacement phase, and to provide a basis for clinical treatment. Methods: This study was reviewed and approved by the Medical Ethics Committee, and informed consent was obtained from patients. From May 2023 to December 2023, 15 patients with Angle ClassⅡ malocclusion accompanied by mandibular retraction and anterior deep overjet during mixed dentition were enrolled in this study (8 males and 7 females; mean age 8.8 years). Each patient received a customized domestically manufactured ETA that was created based on dental arch dimensions, overjet severity, and occlusal relationships assessed from study models. Patients were instructed to wear the appliance for at least 2 hours during the day and throughout the night. The treatment duration was 6 months, at which time the changes in cephalometric data before treatment (T0) and after treatment (T1) were compared using Uceph software Results: The angle between sella, nasion and supramentale point B (SNB) of the patients increased significantly by (1.03 ± 1.74°) compared to before treatment (P = 0.039). The angle between subspinale point A and supramentale point B (ANB), the distance between point A and point B on the FH plane (wits value), the overjet, and the overbite decreased by (0.47 ± 0.61°), (2.48 ± 2.11) mm, (2.48 ± 3.42) mm, and (0.79 ± 1.40) mm, respectively, compared to before treatment, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The angle between sella, nasion and subspinale point A (SNA), the angle between the FH and MP planes (FMA), the angle between the long axis of the L1 and MP plane (IMPA), the angle between the MP plane and SN plane (MP-SN), the distance from S to Go divided by the distance from N to Me (S-Go/N-Me), and the distance of the FH plane perpendicular from G point to the Pog point (G Vert Pog) increased compared to before treatment, while the angle between the SGn and FH planes (Y-axis) and the angle between the long axis of the L1 and FH plane (FMIA) decreased compared to before treatment, but there was no statistical difference (P>0.05). Conclusion Personalized, customized ETA orthodontic appliances can effectively improve the sagittal and vertical relationships between the maxilla and mandible in patients with ClassⅡ malocclusion.

Objective To observe the effects of acupuncture at"Weizhong"on angiogenesis of chronic blunt injury of lumbar muscle in rats;To explore the possible mechanism of acupuncture in the treatment of chronic lumbar skeletal muscle injury based on PI3K/AKT/HIF-1α signaling pathway.Methods A total of 24 SD male rats were established chronic blunt injury of lumbar muscle model,and were randomly divided into model group,Weizhong group and non-acupoint group,with 8 rats in each group.Another 8 rats of the same age were selected as the blank group.In the Weizhong group,acupuncture intervention was performed on both sides of"Weizhong",while in the non-acupoint group,acupuncture intervention was performed on both sides of"Weizhong"inwardly by 0.5 cm,once a day for 20 minutes each time,for 2 consecutive weeks.The blank group and model group adopted the same grasping fixed posture without any intervention.The body mass and limb grip strength of each group were measured,the lumbar muscle tissue morphology was observed by HE staining,the content of NO in lumbar muscle tissue was detected by ELISA,the expression of VEGF in lumbar muscle tissue was observed by immunofluorescence,the expression of PI3K/AKT/HIF-1α pathway protein in lumbar muscle tissue was detected by Western blot.Results Compared with the blank group,body mass and limb grip strength of model group decreased(P<0.01),cell structure of waist skeletal muscle was loosely arranged,red blood cells and nuclear exudation were observed,NO content and positive expression of VEGF in lumbar muscle tissue decreased(P<0.01),and the protein expressions of p-PI3K/PI3K,p-AKT/AKT and HIF-1α in lumbar muscle tissue were down-regulated(P<0.01).Compared with the model group,the body mass and limb grip strength of rats in Weizhong group increased(P<0.05,P<0.01),the arrangement of skeletal muscle cells in the waist was more compact and orderly,and the content of NO and positive expression of VEGF in lumbar muscle tissue were increased(P<0.01),the protein expressions of p-PI3K/PI3K,p-AKT/AKT and HIF-1α in lumbar muscle tissue were up-regulated(P<0.01).The effects of Weizhong group was better than those in non-acupoint group(P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusion Acupuncture at"Weizhong"can effectively promote the repair of chronic blunt injury of lumbar muscle in rats.The mechanism may be related to activating the PI3K/AKT/HIF-1α pathway to regulate angiogenesis and improve vascular injury.

Postoperative lower limb lymphedema following gynecological malignancies can be categorized under TCM concepts of"edema"and"meridian obstruction".Professor Jia Liqun believes that the underlying deficiency lies in yang and blood deficiency,while the excess is characterized by dampness and blood stasis obstructing the meridians.Consequently,the treatment strategies include warming yang and nourishing blood to unblock the meridians,dispelling dampness and promoting diuresis to unblock the meridians,and transforming stasis and promoting diuresis to unblock the meridians.Clinical practice requires dynamic syndrome differentiation and treatment according to the disease progression.Additionally,Professor Jia often employs the external application of Wenjing Tongluo Powder to directly target the affected area,combining internal and external treatments to enhance the effect of unblocking the meridians and reducing swelling.

Objective To analyze the detection significance of platelet to lymphocyte ratio(PLR),lymphocyte to monocyte ratio(LMR),neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio(NLR)and coagulation function indicators in patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(NSTEMI)and patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI).Methods One hundred and eighty-two elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction admitted to department of cardio-vascular medicine of the Third People's Hospital of Bengbu were selected from January 2021 to December 2023,and were divided into NSTEMI group(104 cases)and STEMI group(78 cases)according to electrocardiogram characteristics.Additionally,80 healthy subjects receiving physical examination in the Third People's Hospital of Bengbu were assigned into the control group.The levels of PLR,NLR,LMR,D-dimer and fibrinogen(FIB)were measured after admission.Serum PLR,NLR,LMR,D-dimer and FIB levels were compared among the three groups.The evaluation model based on PLR,NLR,LMR,D-dimer and FIB was constructed by binary logistic regression analysis.ROC curve was adopted to analyze the value of PLR,NLR,LMR,D-dimer and FIB in evaluating NSTEMI patients and STEMI patients.Results The levels of serum PLR,NLR,LMR,D-dimer and FIB in the STEMI group and the NSTEMI group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05).The serum PLR,NLR,LMR,D-dimer and FIB were independent influencing factors for STEMI and NSTEMI patients(OR=25.078,95％CI:3.147-199.865;OR=32.852,95％CI:4.398-245.417;OR=28.703,95％CI:3.310-248.867;OR=67.491,95％CI:8.518-534.729;OR=46.759,95％CI:8.219-266.006;OR=2.573,95％CI:1.026-6.451;OR=3.442,95％CI:1.750-6.768,OR=2.971,95％CI:1.799-4.907;OR=68.375,95％CI:12.598-371.103;OR=7.471,95％CI:1.759-31.737,P＜0.05).ROC curve indicated that the area under the curve(AUC),sensitivity and specificity of combination of serum PLR,NLR,LMR,D-dimer and FIB were 0.996,99.04％and 95.00％in evaluating NSTEMI,and were 0.995,94.87％and 97.50％in assessing STEMI,and the efficiency of combined evaluation was better than that of single evaluation(P＜0.05).Conclusions PLR,NLR,LMR,D-dimer and FIB in NSTEMI patients and STEMI patients are significantly increased.The combined determination of various indicators has important reference value in the early diagnosis of NSTEMI and STEMI.

Paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury is a serious neurological complication, for which surgery is currently the main treatment method. Due to different surgical approaches, patients are usually expected to maintain a passive prone position for a long time or switch between the supine and prone positions. Affected by multiple factors such as neurogenic sensory disorders, pathological changes in muscle tone and operative duration, the risk of intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) is significantly increased. Current clinical prevention strategies for IAPI in these patients predominantly focus on localized pressure relief during positioning, lacking systematic, standardized comprehensive prevention protocols or evidence-based guidelines. To address it, Department of Nursing, Orthopedics Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, Spinal Trauma Professional Committee, Orthopedics Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine organized experts in relevant fields to formulate Guideline for the prevention of intraoperative acquired pressure injury in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medical evidence and latest research results and clinical practice at home and abroad. Eleven recommendations were put forward from the aspects of preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative prevention strategies, postoperative handover and monitoring, and supportive mechanisms for IAPI prevention, aiming to standardize the prevention measures and management strategies of IAPI in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of patients and improve the therapeutic effect.

Objective:To assess the feasibility of first polar body transfer (PB1T) combined with preimplantation mitochondrial genetic testing for blocking the transmission of a pathogenic mitochondrial DNA 8993T>G mutation.Methods:A Chinese family affected with Leigh syndrome which had attended the Reproductive Medicine Centre of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University in September 2021 was selected as the study subject. Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation was carried out for the proband after completing the detection of the mitochondrial DNA 8993T>G mutation load among the pedigree members. Mature MII oocytes were inseminated by intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), cultured in vitro for 5 to 6 days to the blastocyst stage, and trophoblastocytes were obtained by microbiopsy. Mitochondrial DNA testing (PGT-MT) and chromosomal aneuploidy (PGT-A) analyses were carried out after whole-genome amplification, and the embryos with zero mutation load were selected for transfer. Amniotic fluid and umbilical cord blood samples were collected during middle pregnancy and after birth respectively for mitochondrial DNA testing to verify the reliability of embryo screening. As an attempt, PB1 with good morphology of MⅡ oocytes was selected for transfer into the enucleated oocytoplasm from healthy donors, followed by ICSI fertilization, blastocyst culture and PGT of embryos using the same procedure. This study has been approved by the Ethics Committee of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University (No. 2021zhyx-B12). Results:An antagonist protocol was used for ovarian stimulation, and a total of 19 oocytes were obtained, of which 14 MⅡ were fertilized by ICSI, and 2 had developed into blastocysts. PGT-MT was carried out on biopsied trophoblastocytes, in which the mitochondrial DNA 8993T>G mutation load was not detected in one embryo, the other was 100% mutated, and the mutation loads of the remaining unfertilized eggs and developmentally arrested embryos ranged from 0% ~ 100%, presenting a clear biased distribution. With fully informed consent, one PGT-MT zero mutation load blastocyst was transferred and clinical pregnancy was achieved. Mitochondrial DNA and chromosomal testing of amniotic fluid cells during middle pregnancy had revealed no abnormalities. The proband had delivered a healthy boy through Caesarean section at 39+ 5 weeks of gestation, and no mutation was detected in the cord blood sample. Five well-formed PBs from 14 eggs were selected for PB1 transfer, followed by ICSI and culture, and two of the reconstituted embryos had formed blastocysts, with none of the above mutations detected in the biopsied samples.Conclusion:The PGT-MT technology can help families affected with mitochondrial diseases to have healthy offspring. PB1 transfer in combination with ICSI and PGT-MT holds the promise of turning waste into treasure and providing an alternative means of fertility for such families.

Spine fracture and dislocation are common traumatic spinal conditions that often require surgical intervention due to compromised spinal stability. Surgical approaches include anterior, posterior, and combined anterior-posterior spinal procedures. According to the specific surgical requirements, patients may be placed in the prone position or repositioned between prone and supine positions during surgery. Intraoperative repositioning has become an essential step in patient positioning. However, during repositioning, patients with spinal fracture and dislocation are at increased risk for complications such as hemodynamic instability, nerve injury, and pressure injuries to the skin and soft tissue. Notably, due to the instability of the spinal cord, even minor manipulations can further exacerbate the damage, potentially leading to severe outcomes like paraplegia. Although the current clinical guidelines provide instructive recommendations for standard position, there remains no specific protocols for intraoperative repositioning in patients with spine fracture and dislocation. With a concern for the lack of clinical studies on positioning techniques, risk prevention, and operational norms for special patients, no applicable guidelines or standards are available. A consensus was required to provide clinical reference, meet the requirements of surgical treatment, and minimize the safety risks of patients caused by improper placement of positions. Professional Committee of Operating Room Nursing of Shaanxi Nursing Association organized experts in nursing management and operating room nursing from major hospitals across China to formulate Expert consensus on intraoperative repositioning for patients with spinal fracture and dislocation ( version 2025). The consensus provides 11 recommendations covering pre-repositioning preparation, intraoperative maneuvers, and post-repositioning observation, aiming to provide references for clinical standardization of the intraoperative repositioning process and protection of patients′ safety.
