ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effectiveness and potential mechanism of combined tongue three-needle acupuncture and acupoint application on Lianquan （CV 23） for patients with dysphagia after ischemic stroke. MethodsA prospective study was conducted on 160 patients with post-stroke dysphagia， who were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group， with 80 cases in each group. The control group received conventional rehabilitation training， while the treatment group received tongue three-needle acupuncture combined with acupoint application on Lianquan （CV 23） on the basis of conventional rehabilitation training， for 4 weeks in both groups. We compared the clinical effectivenss of both groups after treatment， and assessed the swallowing function including videofluoroscopic swallowing study （VFSS）， standardized swallowing assessment （SSA） and functional oral intake scale （FIOS）， swallowing contrast test including hyoid maximum displacement （HmaxD）， pharyngeal transit time （PTT）， and upper esophageal sphincter （UES） opening， surface electromyography （sEMG） test including maximum amplitude and swallowing duration as well as swallowing quality of life questionnaire （SWAL-QOL） score of the patients in both groups before treatment， after 2 weeks and 4 weeks of treatment， respectively. ResultsThe total effective rate in treatment group was 82.50% （66/80）， significantly higher than 66.25% （53/80） in control group （P＜0.05）. The VFSS， and FOIS scores， UES opening rate and HmaxD， sEMG maximal amplitude values， and SWAL-QOL scores were increased in both groups after 2 weeks and 4 weeks of treatment compared with the values before treatment （P＜0.05）， while SSA scores， PTT， and swallowing duration were decreased compared within group before treatment （P＜0.05）. VFSS and FOIS scores， UES opening rate and HmaxD， sEMG maximal amplitude values， and SWAL-QOL scores after 2 and 4 weeks of treatment in the treatment group were higher （P＜0.05）， while SSA scores， PTT， and swallowing duration were lower （P＜0.05） than those in the control group at the same time. ConclusionCombined tongue three-needle acupuncture and acupoint application on Lianquan （CV 23） for patients with dysphagia after ischemic stroke can significantly improve swallowing activities， and its mechanism of action may be related to the improvement of the contraction ability and coordination of swallowing-related muscle groups.

The goal of Medical Immunology is to enable students to pay attention to integration of immunology theory with clini-cal practice,be familiar with professional English,consciously pay attention to cutting-edge knowledge,and can learn independently and lifelong.However,existing teaching models lack explanation of clinical disease related events,and arrangement of experimental content and projects is seriously disconnected from clinical practice,scientific research on solving clinical problems is clearly insuffi-cient.We established a"B to B"cycle model for immunology teaching by starting from clinical practical problems(Bedside),return to basic research(Bench),and then solve clinical problem(Bedside),which will comprehensively cultivate senior medical profession-als with clinical competence,scientific research thinking ability,innovative spirit,and international perspective.

Objective:To investigate the effect of "simulated Chinese medicine nursing clinic" teaching on syndrome differentiation ability among nursing students and the teaching effect of this method.Methods:A total of 325 students were randomly divided into conventional teaching group with 163 students (receiving conventional nursing teaching) and real situational teaching group with 162 students (receiving "simulated Chinese medicine nursing nursing clinic" teaching at the same time). A self-made questionnaire for syndrome differentiation-based nursing ability, assessment scores of traditional Chinese medicine nursing theories and skills, and a teaching satisfaction questionnaire were used for evaluation.Results:After intervention, the real situational teaching group (the treatment group and the experience group) had significantly higher socres of syndrome differentiation-based nursing ability (mastery of four diagnostic methods, diagnosis of syndromes, analysis of syndromes, determination of nursing principles, and development of nursing regimens) than the conventional teaching group (the treatment group and the conventional teaching group: 8.97±1.00/8.47±1.20/8.33±1.06/8.30±1.26/7.89±1.13 and 7.96±1.14/7.29±1.36/7.14±1.18/7.39±1.30/7.26±1.18, P<0.05; the experience group and the conventional teaching group: 8.39±1.10/8.17±1.15/8.07±1.06/7.97±1.26/7.73±1.38 and 7.96±1.14/7.29±1.36/7.14±1.18/7.39±1.30/7.26±1.18, P<0.05). The real situational teaching group had a significantly higher overall degree of satisfaction with teaching than the conventional teaching group [160 (97.6%) and 150 (92.0%), P<0.05]. Conclusions:The "simulated Chinese medicine nursing clinic" teaching program effectively enhances the thinking of syndrome differientiation and related abilities for nursing, improves the learning effect of traditional Chinese medicine nursing theories and skills, and increases the learning interest in traditional Chinese medicine nursing among nursing students.

Chronic atrophic gastritis is a common and frequent disease in clinical practice. The symptoms of this disease can be attributed to the categories of " gastric pain" and " plumpness" in traditional Chinese medicine,and its pathogenesis is closely related to the dysfunction of xuanfu,qi-fluids,and stomach collaterals. In this study,we systematically rationalize the historical origin of the xuanfu,qi-fluids,and stomach collaterals and the relationship between them. According to the structure,physiological function and pathological characteristics of " xuanfu-qi-fluids-stomach collaterals",combined with the evolution of the chronic atrophic gastritis disease process,xuanfu depression and closure is believed to be the direct cause of chronic atrophic gastritis occurrence. The disharmony between qi and fluids is the core of the progression of chronic atrophic gastritis. Collateral deficiency and toxin damage are the root causes of the progression of chronic atrophic gastritis. Based on the mechanism of "xuanfu depression and closure-the disharmony between qi and fluids-collateral deficiency and toxin damage",it is proposed to open the xuanfu,restore the pivotal mechanism,activate blood circulation and diuresis,propagate qi and fluids,and supplement deficiency to unblock collaterals. From the perspective of "xuanfu-qi-fluids-stomach collaterals ",a more systematic and comprehensive understanding of the dynamic development process of chronic atrophic gastritis can be achieved,which will provide new ideas for the treatment of this disease in traditional Chinese medicine.

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is one of the most effective revascularization treatments for coronary heart disease. Secondary prevention strategies, which rely on antiplatelet and lipid-lowering drugs, are crucial after CABG to ensure the durability of revascularization treatment effects and prevent adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in the medium to long term. Previous research conducted by Professor Zhao Qiang's team from Ruijin Hospital of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, known as the DACAB study, indicated that dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT, specifically ticagrelor+aspirin) after CABG can enhance venous graft patency. However, it remains uncertain whether DAPT can further improve the medium to long-term clinical outcomes of CABG patients. Recently, the team reported the medium to long-term follow-up results of the DACAB study, termed the DACAB-FE study, finding that DAPT administered after CABG can reduce the incidence of major cardiovascular events over five years and improve patients' medium to long-term clinical outcomes. This article will interpret the methodological highlights and significant clinical implications of the DACAB-FE study.

Objective:To compare the differences in the prevalence of mild micro-hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) among patients with cirrhosis by using the psychometric hepatic encephalopathy score (PHES) and the Stroop smartphone application (Encephal App) test.Methods:This prospective, multi-center, real-world study was initiated by the National Clinical Medical Research Center for Infectious Diseases and the Portal Hypertension Alliance and registered with International ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05140837). 354 cases of cirrhosis were enrolled in 19 hospitals across the country. PHES (including digital connection tests A and B, digital symbol tests, trajectory drawing tests, and serial management tests) and the Stroop test were conducted in all of them. PHES was differentiated using standard diagnostic criteria established by the two studies in China and South Korea. The Stroop test was evaluated based on the criteria of the research and development team. The impact of different diagnostic standards or methods on the incidence of MHE in patients with cirrhosis was analyzed. Data between groups were differentiated using the t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and χ2 test. A kappa test was used to compare the consistency between groups. Results:After PHES, the prevalence of MHE among 354 cases of cirrhosis was 78.53% and 15.25%, respectively, based on Chinese research standards and Korean research normal value standards. However, the prevalence of MHE was 56.78% based on the Stroop test, and the differences in pairwise comparisons among the three groups were statistically significant (kappa = -0.064, P < 0.001). Stratified analysis revealed that the MHE prevalence in three groups of patients with Child-Pugh classes A, B, and C was 74.14%, 83.33%, and 88.24%, respectively, according to the normal value standards of Chinese researchers, while the MHE prevalence rates in three groups of patients with Child-Pugh classes A, B, and C were 8.29%, 23.53%, and 38.24%, respectively, according to the normal value standards of Korean researchers. Furthermore, the prevalence rates of MHE in the three groups of patients with Child-Pugh grades A, B, and C were 52.68%, 58.82%, and 73.53%, respectively, according to the Stroop test standard. However, among the results of each diagnostic standard, the prevalence of MHE showed an increasing trend with an increasing Child-Pugh grade. Further comparison demonstrated that the scores obtained by the number connection test A and the number symbol test were consistent according to the normal value standards of the two studies in China and South Korea ( Z = -0.982, -1.702; P = 0.326, 0.089), while the other three sub-tests had significant differences ( P < 0.001). Conclusion:The prevalence rate of MHE in the cirrhotic population is high, but the prevalence of MHE obtained by using different diagnostic criteria or methods varies greatly. Therefore, in line with the current changes in demographics and disease spectrum, it is necessary to enroll a larger sample size of a healthy population as a control. Moreover, the establishment of more reliable diagnostic scoring criteria will serve as a basis for obtaining accurate MHE incidence and formulating diagnosis and treatment strategies in cirrhotic populations.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors of bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD)in very preterm infants(VPI), and to provide scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of BPD in VPI.Methods:A prospective multicenter study was designed to collect the clinical data of VPI in department of neonatology of 28 hospitals in 7 regions from September 2019 to December 2020.According to the continuous oxygen dependence at 28 days after birth, VPI were divided into non BPD group and BPD group, and the risk factors of BPD in VPI were analyzed.Results:A total of 2 514 cases of VPI including 1 364 cases without BPD and 1 150 cases with BPD were enrolled.The incidence of BPD was 45.7%.The smaller the gestational age and weight, the higher the incidence of BPD( P<0.001). Compared with non BPD group, the average birth age, weight and cesarean section rate in BPD group were lower, and the incidence of male infants, small for gestational age and 5-minute apgar score≤7 were higher( P<0.01). In BPD group, the incidences of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome(NRDS), hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus, retinopathy of prematurity, feeding intolerance, extrauterine growth restriction, grade Ⅲ~Ⅳ intracranial hemorrhage, anemia, early-onset and late-onset sepsis, nosocomial infection, parenteral nutrition-associated cholestasis were higher( P<0.05), the use of pulmonary surfactant(PS), postnatal hormone exposure, anemia and blood transfusion were also higher, and the time of invasive and non-invasive mechanical ventilation, oxygen use and total hospital stay were longer( P<0.001). The time of starting enteral nutrition, cumulative fasting days, days of reaching total enteral nutrition, days of continuous parenteral nutrition, days of reaching 110 kcal/(kg·d) total calorie, days of reaching 110 kcal/(kg·d) oral calorie were longer and the breastfeeding rate was lower in BPD group than those in non BPD group( P<0.001). The cumulative doses of amino acid and fat emulsion during the first week of hospitalization were higher in BPD group( P<0.001). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that NRDS, invasive mechanical ventilation, age of reaching total enteral nutrition, anemia and blood transfusion were the independent risk factors for BPD in VPI, and older gestational age was the protective factor for BPD. Conclusion:Strengthening perinatal management, avoiding premature delivery and severe NRDS, shortening the time of invasive mechanical ventilation, paying attention to enteral nutrition management, reaching whole intestinal feeding as soon as possible, and strictly mastering the indications of blood transfusion are very important to reduce the incidence of BPD in VPI.

Objective To establish the method of predicting the vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) during treadmill running based on principal component analysis and wavelet neural network (PCA-WNN). Methods Nine rearfoot strikers were selected and participated in running experiment on an instrumented treadmill at the speed of 12, 14 and 16 km/h. The kinematics data and vGRF were collected using infrared motion capture system and dynamometer treadmill. A three-layer neural network framework was constructed, in which the activation function of the hidden layers was the Morlet function. Velocities of mass center of the thigh, shank and foot as well as joint angles of the hip, knee and ankle were input into the WNN model. The prediction accuracy of the model was evaluated by the coefficient of multiple correlation (CMC) and error. The consistencies between predicted and measured peak GRF were analyzed by Bland-Altman method. Results The CMC between the predicted and measured GRF at different speeds were all greater than 0.99; the root mean square error (RMSE) between the predicted and measured vGRF was 0.18-0.28 BW; and the normalized root mean square error (NRMSE) was 6.20%-8.42%; the NRMSE between the predicted and measured impact forces and propulsive forces were all smaller than 15%. Bland-Altman results showed that the predicted peak errors of propulsive force at 12 km/h and that of impact force and propulsive force at 14 km/h were within the 95% agreement interval. Conclusions The PCA-WNN model constructed in this study can accurately predict the vGRF during treadmill running. The results provide a new method to obtain kinetic data and perform real-time monitoring on a treadmill, which is of great significance for studying running injuries and rehabilitation treatment.
