ObjectiveTo construct a comprehensive evaluation indicator system for clinical practice guidelines of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that is scientific, systematic, and reflects the characteristics of TCM. MethodsA systematic search was conducted in Chinese and English databases, including CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, SinoMed, PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library, to include literature on domestic and international guideline evaluation tools and TCM-related research. Document analysis and CiteSpace were utilized for keyword co-occurrence and clustering analysis. ResultsA total of 65 relevant studies were included, from which seven core thematic domains were identified. Based on the research objectives, a two-step construction strategy was adopted: first, an external evaluation framework was established by referencing international tools to cover methodological rigor and procedural standardization; second, an internal evaluation framework was developed to reflect the distinctive features of TCM clinical practice, including syndrome differentiation and efficacy feedback. Through expert consensus, the indicator system was refined, resulting in a dual-layered structure comprising 8 primary indicators, 22 secondary indicators, and 62 evaluation criteria. ConclusionThe comprehensive evaluation system for TCM clinical practice guidelines, based on bibliometric analysis and core element extraction, integrates both theoretical integrity and practical applicability. This study provides a preliminary research foundation for further optimization, validation, and development of a refined comprehensive evaluation system.

Objective:To explore the clinical and genetic characteristics of dyskeratosis congenita (DC).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical, laboratory, imaging, pathological, genetic, and treatment data of 6 DC patients diagnosed at the Children′s Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2010 to June 2025.Results:Among the 6 DC patients, 1 case was of Hoyeraal-Hreidarsson syndrome, 4 were male, and 2 were female. The diagnosis age 0.9-6.1 years. All 6 cases presented with bone marrow failure; 5 cases had a classic triad of skin and mucous membrane (mucosal leukoplakia, abnormal skin pigmentation, nail dystrophy); 5 cases had growth retardation, among which 2 cases had intrauterine growth retardation. Two cases had diarrhea and 1 case had abnormal liver function; 1 case had stiff and deformed limbs, accompanied by limited mobility, and dry and obstructive balanitis; 1 case had recurrent eyelid inflammation, middle ear inflammation, and nasal inflammation. All 6 cases had decreased B cell numbers, and 4 cases also had decreased natural killer cell numbers. There were 3 cases of children with cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection, of which 1 case of CMV infection led to retinal frosted branch angiitis and subsequent intracranial CMV infection resulting in death, and 1 case had CMV enteritis and died of hemophagocytic syndrome. Among 4 cases of boys, 3 cases had DKC1 gene variations and 1 case had an unknown variation gene; 2 cases of girls had TINF2 gene variations. The TINF2 c.860T>A (p.L287Q) variation site was a new mutation. Among 6 patients with DC, 2 cases died, 3 cases survived and 1 case was lost to follow-up.Conclusions:The DKC1 and TINF2 genes are common pathogenic genes in patients with DC. Bone marrow failure is a clue for the early identification of DC. The triad of skin and mucous membrane is its typical clinical manifestation. Children with DC generally have reduced B cells and natural killer killer cells, and have a high risk of fatal CMV infection. The overall prognosis is poor.

Objective:To assess the long-term risk of relapse in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) who discontinued infliximab (IFX) monoclonal antibody and to identify risk factors associated with relapse.Methods:A single-center retrospective observational study was conducted from February 2006 to October 2016. The study included CD patients who were treated with scheduled IFX infusions at the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University and assessed in corticosteroid-free clinical remission at the time of withdrawal were included. The primary outcome was clinical relapse. We evaluated the risk of relapse using Kaplan-Meier method. Factors associated with time to relapse was identified using the multiple Cox proportional hazards regression analysis.Results:We included 97 eligible patients, and 75 (77.3%) experienced a relapse after a median follow-up time of 124 months. Among them, 45 patients (46.4%) relapsed within 3 years after IFX withdrawal. The 1-, 2-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year relapse-free survival were 79.4%, 59.8%, 52.6%, 42.0% and 22.6%, respectively. Risk factors for relapse included age ≤ 16 ( HR = 2.62, 95% CI: 1.30-5.31; P = 0.007) and failure to achieve biological remission (CRP > 3 mg/L, HR = 2.37, 95% CI: 1.29-4.36; P = 0.006) at drug withdrawal. Induction with biologics or systemic steroids were both effective (89%-100% relieved) in relapsers. Conclusions:Nearly half of CD patients relapsed within 3 years after discontinuation of IFX treatment. Early age of discontinuation and failure to achieve serum biological remission at the time of discontinuation are independent predictors of clinical relapse.

Objective:Analysis of the influencing factors of maternal oral health care behavior based on the health belief model.Methods:From July to December 2023, a cross-sectional survey was conducted in Peking Union Medical College Hospital on 316 pregnant women who received the health belief questionnaire and self-efficacy scale。 t test and χ2 test were used to analyze the factors affecting the oral health care behavior of pregnant women from the perspective of social psychology. Results:Among the 316 pregnant women included, 110(34.8%) had poor daily oral health care behavior, 120 (38.1%)did not have oral examination before or during pregnancy. The health beliefs of pregnant women in overall oral care were not high, with a score of 6.63+3.23, Median score is 7 (5).Perceived susceptibility to oral diseases ( OR=1.51, 95% CI:1.026-2.213), self-efficacy of daily living ( OR=2.64, 95% CI: 1.384-5.040), self-efficacy of oral examination ( OR=1.74, 95% CI:1.184-2.570) were independent factors of daily oral health care behavior in pregnant women. Health motivation ( OR=2.47, 95% CI:1.474-4.126) and self-efficacy of oral examination ( OR=4.17, 95% CI:2.626-6.619) were independent factors of oral examination behavior before and during pregnancy. Conclusion:Health beliefs of maternal oral health, especially perceived susceptibility, health motivation and self-efficacy are closely related to maternal oral health care behaviors. To improve the health belief and self-efficacy of pregnant women′s oral health care and avoid potential obstacles, which could be conducive to the effective promotion of oral health care for pregnant women.

ObjectiveTo explore the feasibility and rationality of applying relevant diagnostic and treatment programmes from textbooks as evidence in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) diagnosis and treatment guidelines, using allergic rhinitis as an example. MethodsTextbooks published from October 1949 to December 2022, as well as TCM diagnosis and treatment guidelines published until December 2022 on allergic rhinitis were searched, and the contents of diagnosis and treatment related to allergic rhinitis were extracted. The similarities and differences between textbooks in different periods, between textbooks in different versions, and between textbooks and guidelines were compared and analyzed. ResultsA total of 12 national planning textbooks on TCM otolaryngology and 4 Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment guidelines on allergic rhinitis from 1975 to 2021 were included. The evolution of diagnostic and treatment programmes was shown by the textbooks in different periods. Since 2003, syndrome of latent heat in lung channel has been added in the published textbook, and TCM featured therapies, such as nasal packing, intranasal spray were enriched, as well as the contents related to prevention and prognosis. The main syndromes included lung qi deficiency and cold, spleen qi deficiency, kidney yang deficiency, and latent heat in lung meridian. The most common recommended prescriptions were Wenfei Zhiliu Pill (温肺止流丹), Yupingfeng Powder (玉屏风散) and Cangerzi Powder (苍耳子散); Buzhong Yiqi Decoction (补中益气汤), Shenling Baizhu Powder (参苓白术散); Shenqi Pill (肾气丸) or Zhenwu Decoction (真武汤); Xinyi Qingfei Decoction (辛夷清肺饮). A comparison of different versions of textbooks showed that the classification of syndromes was consistent, while the formulas were slightly different. The comparison between different versions of the current textbooks and the guidelines showed that the recommended prescriptions of the textbooks had more Cangerzi Powder, Xiaoqinglong Decoction (小青龙汤), Zhenwu Decoction, etc., while TCM featured therapies such as nose blowing, smelling, nasal plugging, nasal washing were enriched, and information on formula modification, prevention and adjustment, prognosis were also added, which can supplement the corresponding evidence for the guidelines. ConclusionTextbooks could serve as a strong supplement for the evidence-based development of TCM clinical guidelines. However, there is still a need for further research on the quality assessment system of textbook evidence to improve the credibility of its applicability of the guidelines evidence.
