The Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) statement aims to enhance the quality of reporting for randomized controlled trial (RCT) by providing a minimum item checklist. It was first published in 1996, and updated in 2001 and 2010, respectively. The latest version was released in April 2025, continuously reflecting new evidence, methodological advancements, and user feedback. CONSORT 2025 includes 30 essential checklist items and a template for a participant flow diagram. The main changes to the checklist include the addition of 7 items, revision of 3 items, and deletion of 1 item, as well as the integration of multiple key extensions. This article provides a comprehensive interpretation of the statement, aiming to help clinical trial staff, journal editors, and reviewers fully understand the essence of CONSORT 2025, correctly apply it in writing RCT reports and evaluating RCT quality, and provide guidance for conducting high-level RCT research in China.

The view of youth moral cultivation clearly defines the scope of “morality” and puts forward the requirement of “cultivating morality” for the youth. This is a systematic concept aligned with the main theme of the times and is worth deeply exploring and integrating into the practice of medical ethics education for medical students. With the requirements for innovation and development in medical education， the cultivation of medical students has also been endowed with new connotations. Guided by the connotations of the view of youth moral cultivation and aligned with the objective requirements of medical students’ cultivation， this paper leveraged the core values of traditional Chinese medicine as its entry point. It also explored the realization paths of medical ethics education for medical students that reflect advantages， highlight characteristics， and maintain clear orientation through strengthening the medical ethics education of “dedicated study of medicine，” “honesty and prudence in words and deeds，” “benevolence in heart and skills，” and “doctor-patient trust and harmony，” aiming to cultivate guardians of people’s health with noble medical ethics and superb medical skills.

Objective To observe the multi-system toxicity of Tripterygium glycosides tablets in rats with type Ⅱ collagen-induced arthritis(CIA).Methods Healthy SD rats were randomly divided into normal group,model group and experimental group,with 10 rats in each group.In addition to the normal group,the other groups were established collagen-induced arthritis model.After the first immunization,the normal group and the model group were given an equal volume of 0.3％sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solution,and the experimental group was given 72 mg·kg-1·d-1 Tripterygium glycosides solution,once a day for 6 weeks.On the 42 nd day,the blood routine of each group was detected and the organ index was calculated.The levels of liver,kidney function and sex hormones in rats were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The histopathological changes of liver,kidney,ovary and testis were observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining.Results The testicular indexes of the normal group,the model group and the experimental group were(0.81±0.05)％,(0.97±0.06)％and(0.81±0.12)％;the estradiol contents were(63.90±16.19),(55.42±7.23)and(40.04±5.97)pg·mL-1;the testosterone contents were(1 290.96±257.94),(1 198.43±190.77)and(912.62±61.72)pg·mL-1,respectively.There were statistically significant differences in the above indexes between the model group and the experimental group(P＜0.01,P＜0.05).HE pathological results showed that Tripterygium glycosides tablets could cause abnormal histopathological changes of ovary and testis in CIA model rats.Conclusion Continuous administration of 8-fold clinical equivalent dose of Tripterygium glycosides tablets for 6 weeks can cause damage to the reproductive system of CIA rats.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)is a group of lung diseases characterized by persistent airflow limitation, often accompanied by chronic hypoxia. This chronic hypoxia can lead to structural and functional changes in the walls of blood vessels throughout the body, causing vascular injury and altered vascular reactivity. The retina and choroid are key ocular structures with rich blood supply and are particularly prone to microstructural changes due to ischemia and hypoxia. Optical coherence tomography(OCT), an ideal tool for observing these microstructural changes, serves as a non-invasive method for assessing retinal microstructures and microvascular pathology. Currently, there is a lack of comprehensive reviews summarizing OCT-based morphological changes in the eyes of COPD patients. This paper provides an in-depth review of existing studies on ocular OCT in COPD patients, focusing on structural and blood flow changes in the retina and choroid. The primary goal of this review is to summarize the impact of COPD on ocular microstructures, explore the underlying mechanisms of these morphological changes, and offer new perspectives for assessing eye diseases in COPD patients.

Objective:To summarize the clinical features, pregnancy outcomes, and treatment strategies of pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) in pregnant women and puerperae.Methods:Clinical data of 16 pregnant women or puerperae with PTE who were admitted to Beijing Anzhen Hospital from January 2012 to December 2022 were retrospectively collected. Descriptive statistical analysis was used to summarize the clinical features, treatment strategies, and pregnancy outcomes in these cases.Results:The average age of the 16 patients was (29.6±3.5) years (26-35 years) and the median onset time was 12 weeks (7-38 weeks) of gestation in six pregnant women and 4 d (16 h-40 d) after delivery in ten puerperae. There were two cases of high-risk type; nine cases of medium-risk type (six of medium-high risk and three of medium-low risk); and five cases of low-risk type. Definite high-risk factors were detected in four pregnant women (venous thromboembolism risk score ≤2) and nine puerperae (venous thromboembolism risk score of 2-9). None of the six pregnant women had any indications for preventive anticoagulant therapy and nine puerperae had indications but without preventive therapy. All the patients were treated with low molecular weight heparin and sequential administration of warfarin/rivaroxaban, in addition to that, two high-risk patients also received thrombolytic therapy. After therapy, all pregnant women terminated their pregnancies in time and then continued to receive anticoagulation treatment. All 16 patients survived. Among the six pregnant women, five who developed PTE in the first or second trimester underwent iatrogenic termination of pregnancy, and one who developed PTE in the third trimester gave live birth. Among the 10 puerperae, one had PTE after the termination of pregnancy in the second trimester due to intrauterine fetal death; one developed PTE after abortion in the first trimester; the other eight cases developed PTE after cesarean section in the third trimester, with all newborns surviving.Conclusions:Pregnant women and puerperae are at high risk of PTE and most have high-risk factors. Therefore, more attention should be paid to the screening of high-risk factors and the initiation of preventive anticoagulant therapy. Maternal outcomes are good after PTE treatment, but fetal outcomes depend on the time of onset.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the risk of aristolochic acid (AA)-associated cancer in patients with AA nephropathy (AAN). METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted on patients diagnosed with AAN at Peking University First Hospital from January 1997 to December 2014. Long-term surveillance and follow-up data were analyzed to investigate the influence of different factors on the prevalence of cancer. The primary endpoint was the incidence of liver cancer, and the secondary endpoint was the incidence of urinary cancer during 1 year after taking AA-containing medication to 2014. RESULTS: A total of 337 patients diagnosed with AAN were included in this study. From the initiation of taking AA to the termination of follow-up, 39 patients were diagnosed with cancer. No cases of liver cancer were observed throughout the entire follow-up period, with urinary cancer being the predominant type (34/39, 87.17%). Logistic regression analysis showed that age, follow-up period, and diabetes were potential risk factors, however, the dosage of the drug was not significantly associated with urinary cancer. CONCLUSIONS No cases of liver cancer were observed at the end of follow-up. However, a high prevalence of urinary cancer was observed in AAN patients. Establishing a direct causality between AA and HCC is challenging.

OBJECTIVE To provide reference for constructing scientific and reasonable pharmaceutical service mode for hospitalized patients with chronic airway diseases. METHODS From October 2023 to March 2024， 250 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and acute exacerbation of asthma who were hospitalized in the respiratory department of Hebei General Hospital and received pharmaceutical care （PC） were randomly divided into control group （125 cases） and observation group （125 cases）. The control group received general pharmaceutical services throughout their hospitalization， while the observation group received standardized and graded pharmaceutical services throughout their hospitalization. The differences in clinical value indicators， humanistic value indicators， and quality management indicators were compared among different PC service models. RESULTS Among clinical value evaluation indicators， the observation group had better achievement rate of disease treatment goals， correct use score of inhalation devices， the incidence of adverse drug reactions， and the number of drug-related problems solved than the control group （P＜0.05）. Among the humanistic evaluation indicators， compared with the control group， the observation group had better medication compliance scores， pharmacist intervention success rates， and patient satisfaction scores （P＜0.05）. Among quality management evaluation indicators， the proportion of drug costs， the proportion of intravenous medication， the use rate of antibiotics， the intensity of antibiotic use， and the number of pharmaceutical services in the observation group were significantly better than the control group （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Standardized and graded pharmaceutical care services have improved the efficiency of pharmacists and service effectiveness， making it a new pharmaceutical service model worth promoting.

To explore the protective mechanisms of a novel molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) nanozyme in alleviating inflammation-related endothelial cell injury by regulating mitochondrial dynamic, flower like-MoS₂ nanosheets were prepared by hydrothermal method, and its antioxidant enzyme-mimic activities were assessed via electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. It was shown that MoS₂ nanosheets had strong scavenging ability for hydroxyl radical (·OH) and singlet reactive oxygen species (¹O₂) in a dose-dependent manner. Using an in vitro lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced vascular endothelial cell injury model, the protective roles of MoS₂ nanozyme on cytotoxicity and apoptosis of endothelial cells were examined by MTT and Annexin V-FITC/PI assay, respectively. Mitochondrial fission/fusion of endothelial cell were observed by Mito-Tracker green probe. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) probe DCFH-DA and superoxide anion probe DHE were used to detect the level of oxidative stress in vitro. Plasmid GFP-LC3 transfection using colocalization analysis was applied to assess the autophagy of endothelial cells. The results showed that MoS₂ nanozyme could significantly reduce the cytotoxicity and apoptosis of endothelial cells stimulated by LPS, and prevent the impairment mitochondrial dynamics of endothelial cells, thus maintaining mitochondrial dynamics. In addition, MoS₂ nanozyme was also shown to alleviate LPS-mediated endothelial mitochondrial autophagy, thus protecting endothelial cells from inflammatory stress. These results established that MoS₂ nanozyme protected endothelial cells injury from inflammatory stress by regulating mitochondrial dynamics and mitochondrial autophagy of endothelial cells, which is expected to expand the use of MoS₂ nanozyme in the prevention and treatment of inflammation-related vascular endothelial diseases.

The adulteration and counterfeiting of herbal ingredients in medicinal and food homology (MFH) have a serious impact on the quality of herbal materials, thereby endangering human health. Compared to pharmaceutical drugs, health products derived from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) are more easily accessible and closely integrated into consumers' daily life. However, the authentication of the authenticity of TCM ingredients in MFH has not received sufficient attention. The lack of clear standards emphasizes the necessity of conducting systematic research in this area. This study utilized DNA barcoding technology, combining ITS2, psbA-trnH, matK as universal barcode sequences, and DX, HH, JYH as specific barcode sequences, to identify the authenticity of commercial medicinal and food homology scented herbal teas. The aim was to investigate the authenticity of scented herbal tea products circulating in the market. The research results revealed that among 180 scented herbal tea samples, DNA barcodes were successfully obtained from 164 samples, while the remaining samples either lacked the target components or suffered severe DNA degradation, resulting in failed amplification. Combined with morphological identification studies, it was found that out of the 180 samples, 141 were authentic, accounting for 78.33% of the total samples, while 31 samples showed adulteration and 8 samples lacked the target components, accounting for 21.67% of the total samples. Additionally, water testing revealed that 5 samples of Carthamus tinctorius herbal tea exhibited the phenomenon of weight adulteration. This study exposed the presence of adulteration and weight adulteration in scented herbal tea products, highlighting the need for regulatory authorities to expedite the establishment of quality standards in scented herbal tea industry. These findings provide valuable insights for the rapid development of the scented herbal tea industry.

Background: Genetic defects in the human thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor (TSHR) gene can cause congenital hypothyroidism (CH). However, the biological functions and comprehensive genotype–phenotype relationships for most TSHR variants associated with CH remain unexplored. We aimed to identify TSHR variants in Chinese patients with CH, analyze the functions of the variants, and explore the relationships between TSHR genotypes and clinical phenotypes. Methods: In total, 367 patients with CH were recruited for TSHR variant screening using whole-exome sequencing. The effects of the variants were evaluated by in-silico programs such as SIFT and polyphen2. Furthermore, these variants were transfected into 293T cells to detect their Gs/cyclic AMP and Gq/11 signaling activity. Results: Among the 367 patients with CH, 17 TSHR variants, including three novel variants, were identified in 45 patients, and 18 patients carried biallelic TSHR variants. In vitro experiments showed that 10 variants were associated with Gs/cyclic AMP and Gq/11 signaling pathway impairment to varying degrees. Patients with TSHR biallelic variants had lower serum TSH levels and higher free triiodothyronine and thyroxine levels at diagnosis than those with DUOX2 biallelic variants. Conclusions We found a high frequency of TSHR variants in Chinese patients with CH (12.3%), and 4.9% of cases were caused by TSHR biallelic variants. Ten variants were identified as loss-of-function variants. The data suggest that the clinical phenotype of CH patients caused by TSHR biallelic variants is relatively mild. Our study expands the TSHR variant spectrum and provides further evidence for the elucidation of the genetic etiology of CH.
