To thoroughly implement the strategic deployment outlined in the Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Promoting the Inheritance and Innovative Development of Traditional Chinese Medicine regarding research on dominant diseases of traditional Chinese medicine and to uphold the development philosophy of equal emphasis on traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine,the China Association of Chinese Medicine has fully played a leading academic role by systematically organizing and conducting a series of academic youth salons on clinical dominant diseases of traditional Chinese medicine. On September 13,2024,the 36th Youth Salon on Clinical Dominant Diseases was successfully held in Nanjing,focusing on the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine and the integrative traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine in the diagnosis and treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). The conference brought together leading experts from traditional Chinese medicine,western medicine,and interdisciplinary fields,facilitating in-depth multidisciplinary discussions that led to key consensus on optimizing traditional Chinese medicine treatment protocols for ED,researching and developing new drugs of traditional Chinese medicine,and advancing interdisciplinary development in traditional Chinese medicine. This salon systematically sorted out the clinical strengths and distinctive features of traditional Chinese medicine in the diagnosis and treatment of ED. Based on current research foundations and clinical needs,it identified key directions for future scientific layout and scientific research tackling: (1) Standardization of syndrome differentiation system of traditional Chinese medicine for ED. (2) Optimization and standardization of intervention methods of integrated traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine. (3) High-quality clinical research guided by evidence-based medicine. (4) In-depth analysis of the pharmacological mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of ED. (5) Clinical translation and application promotion of new drugs of traditional Chinese medicine. (6) Interdisciplinary integration and innovation in traditional Chinese medicine. For each research direction,key focus areas,expected objectives,and clinical value were further refined,along with the establishment of a scientifically sound priority funding level evaluation system. Therefore,building on the series of salons on the ED-focused dominant diseases of traditional Chinese medicine,this paper provides standardized guidance for clinical practice of traditional Chinese medicine in ED management,effectively contributing to the high-quality development of traditional Chinese medicine. It serves as a valuable reference for national scientific and technological strategic layout, research and development decision-making in new drugs of traditional Chinese medicine,research topic planning,and clinical guideline formulation.

Methods:
This retrospective study analyzed 32 consecutive IDS patients who underwent UEDD surgery. Clinical features, laboratory data (erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein), and treatment outcomes were analyzed.
Results:
Definite microorganisms were identified in 27 patients (84.3%), with 24 (88.9%) meeting cure criteria. The cure rate was significantly higher in the detected pathogen group compared to the undetected pathogen group (88.9% vs. 80%; χ²=19.36, p<0.0001). Metagenomic next generation sequencing (mNGS) provided faster diagnosis (41.72±6.81 hours) compared to tissue culture (95.74±35.47 hours, p<0.05). The predominant causative pathogen was Mycobacterium tuberculosis, followed by Staphylococcus aureus. Significant improvements were observed in Visual Analog Scale pain scores, from a mean of 7.9 preoperatively to 1.06 at 1 year postoperatively. The Oswestry Disability Index revealed a similar trend, showing significant improvement (p<0.05).
Conclusions
UEDD is a viable alternative to traditional open surgery for managing IDS in high-risk patients. UEDD offers a dual therapeutic-diagnostic advantage during the initial admission phase, enabling simultaneous debridement, neurological decompression, and targeted biopsy in a single intervention. Compared with traditional tissue culture, mNGS enables rapid microbiological diagnosis and extensive pathogen coverage.

Objective To explore the effects of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) on urodynamic parameters during the storage phase in patients with neurogenic bladder (NB), so as to provide reference for evaluating the efficacy of SNM. Methods A total 49 NB patients undergoing SNM at our hospital during Oct.2012 and May 2025 were enrolled. Baseline data and video-urodynamic parameters were collected. Changes in maximum cystometric capacity, maximum detrusor pressure during storage phase, and bladder compliance before and after treatment were assessed. Improvements in detrusor overactivity (DO) and vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) were also analyzed. Results Among the 49 patients,27 were male and 22 were female, with a mean age of (37.41±15.15) years, a median disease duration of 5.0 (2.0,15.5) years, and a median follow-up of 11 (1,32) months. Up to 37 patients (75.5%) received permanent sacral nerve pulse generator implantation (permanent implant group), while the remaining 12 were classified as the non-permanent implant group. Before and after the test period, all patients showed a significant increase in maximum cystometric capacity [ (218.0 (93.0,358.5) mL vs.300.0 (238.5, 400.0) mL, P<0.001], a decrease in maximum detrusor pressure during the filling phase [32.0 (13.5,71.0) cmH_2 O vs. 20.0 (9.0,50.0) cmH_2 O, P<0.001], and an improvement in bladder compliance [11.8 (8.3,25.6) mL/cmH_2 O vs.26.7 (8.6,44.1) mL/cmH_2O, P<0.001]. In the permanent implant group, comparisons before and after the test period showed an increase in maximum bladder capacity [ (239.16±147.23) mL vs. (312.24±121.83) mL, P<0.001], a decrease in maximum detrusor pressure during filling[32.0 (15.0,58.0) cmH_2 O vs.15.0 (9.0,41.0) cmH_2 O, P<0.05], and improved bladder compliance [10.8 (8.3,23.6) mL/cmH_2 O vs.28.6 (8.6,41.4) mL/cmH_2 O, P<0.001]. No statistically significant differences in these parameters before and after the test period were observed in the non-permanent implant group (P>0.05). A total of 17 patients in the permanent implant group underwent follow-up video urodynamics. Compared to pre-test values, significant improvements were observed in maximum detrusor pressure during filling, and bladder compliance both at the end of the test period and at the last follow-up (P<0.05). However, no statistically significant differences were found in maximum cystometric capacity, maximum detrusor pressure during filling, and bladder compliance between the end of the test period and the last follow-up (P>0.05). Among the 49 patients,21 had DO and 20 had VUR. Both DO and VUR showed improvement after the test period and at the last follow-up. Conclusion SNM can effectively improve storage function in NB patients, ameliorate detrusor overactivity and bladder compliance, and relieve or eliminate VUR in some patients. Long-term follow-up confirms that SNM provides stable therapeutic effects, demonstrating significant clinical value.

Objective:To determine the detection rate of myopia among primary and secondary school students in Hunan Province in 2022 and to analyze the influencing factors at both the school and individual levels, thereby providing a scientific basis for developing myopia prevention and control strategies.Methods:From October to November 2022, a multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method was employed to select students from Year 4 of primary school to Year 3 of senior high school across 14 prefecture-level (autonomous prefecture) cities in Hunan Province for vision screening and questionnaire surveys. A multilevel regression model was utilized to analyze the influencing factors of myopia at both the school and individual levels.Results:A total of 189 343 primary and secondary school students were included in this study. The overall myopia detection rate was 55.56%, with a significantly higher prevalence observed in female students (60.49%) compared to males (51.03%) and in urban students (59.12%) versus those from rural areas (53.50%). A marked upward trend in myopia prevalence was identified with advancing grade levels (trend test χ2=16 246.13, P<0.001). Multilevel regression analysis revealed that at the individual level, female gender, higher grade level, parental myopia history, daily homework duration ≥2 hours after school, improper reading/writing postures, and taking breaks only after more than 15 minutes of near work were associated with an increased risk of myopia. Conversely, adequate sleep duration, outdoor activity ≥2 hours, and outdoor breaks during recess demonstrated protective effects. At the school level, non-compliant blackboard illumination uniformity emerged as a significant risk factor for myopia development. Conclusions:The detection rate of myopia among primary and secondary school students in Hunan Province remains relatively high and is associated with multiple factors at both the school and individual levels. Targeted interventions should be implemented at different levels to mitigate the risk of myopia.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective:To investigate the clinical application effects of free transplantation of lobulated inguinal flaps.Methods:This study was a retrospective observational study. From July 2019 to April 2024, 34 patients with skin defect wounds whose wounds in one part met the inclusion criteria were admitted to Tongren Hospital of Wuhan University & Wuhan Third Hospital, including 28 males and 6 females, aged 26 to 59 years. The wound area in the recipient area ranged from 3.0 cm×2.0 cm to 25.0 cm×20.0 cm. The lobulated inguinal flap pedicled with the branch of the superficial circumflex iliac artery were obtained in 19 patients, and the lobulated inguinal flap pedicled with the main artery of the superficial circumflex iliac artery and the superficial inferior epigastric artery were obtained in 15 patients. The total area of the flaps ranged from 6.0 cm×2.2 cm to 27.0 cm×23.0 cm. The flaps were divided into 2 to 4 lobes, and the area of each lobe ranged from 2.0 cm×1.0 cm to 17.0 cm×12.0 cm. Each lobe of the flaps was reassembled, spliced, or directly transplanted onto the wounds, and the donor wounds were sutured in layers. The survival of each lobe of the flaps and wound healing in the recipient and donor areas were observed, and the wound recovery in the recipient and donor areas were followed up. At the last follow-up, the patient's satisfaction with the efficacy was assessed by 5-grade Likert scale.Results:A small amount of necrosis appeared in the tip of one lobe of the flaps in 4 patients after surgery, which healed after trimming. The flaps of the remaining 30 patients survived. The wounds in the recipient areas healed smoothly. There was a small amount of necrosis at the suture edge of the donor areas in 3 patients, which healed after local trimming and dressing change. The donor wounds healed well in the remaining 31 patients. During the follow-up of 6 to 42 months, all the recipient wounds were well repaired, and the shape of the donor areas was good. At the last follow-up, 15 patients were very satisfied with the efficacy, 15 were relatively satisfied, and 4 were generally satisfied.Conclusions:Through preoperative ultrasonic examination and positioning, the inguinal flap is designed according to the course of blood vessels and lobulated with the branch of the superficial circumflex iliac artery or the main artery of the superficial circumflex iliac artery and the superficial inferior epigastric artery as the pedicles. The anatomical process is reliable and the blood flow of the flap after being lobulated is rich, which can meet the repair needs of various skin defect wounds. The repair effect is good, and the damage in the donor area is small, which is worthy of promotion.
