The effective implementation of clinical practice guideline(CPG), as a crucial vehicle of evidence-based medicine, plays a vital role in improving healthcare quality and patient safety. Currently, there remains a significant gap between the actual implementation outcomes of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) guidelines and their intended objectives, which necessitates a systematic investigation into their influencing factors to optimize implementation strategies. This study aims to comprehensively identify the factors influencing CPG implementation in China, adapt the theoretical domains framework(TDF) to the local context, and integrate TCM-specific characteristics to provide recommendations for optimizing the development and implementation processes of TCM guidelines. Systematic search was conducted across multiple databases, including CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, SinoMed, PubMed, and EMbase, covering the period from each database's inception to March 2024. Qualitative and mixed-methods studies were included to examine factors affecting the implementation of clinical practice guidelines. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using the critical appraisal skills programme(CASP) tool. RESULTS:: were synthesized through framework analysis and thematic synthesis, and expert consensus was achieved via a structured consensus meeting. A total of 16 studies involving 2 388 participants were included with overall good methodological quality. Based on the TDF, 43 influencing factors across 14 domains were identified. The most critical factors included the quality of guideline evidence, training and academic conferences organized by hospitals and academic institutions to promote guideline adoption among medical staff, support from professional leaders for guideline implementation, the applicability and clarity of guideline recommendations, and material resources(supplies, funding, and facilities) required for implementation. Additionally, influencing factors of TCM guideline implementation were identified, including the distinctive advantages of TCM therapies, the applicability of syndrome differentiation, and the feasibility of TCM treatments. Based on these findings, it is recommended that TCM guideline development should incorporate these unique influencing factors to formulate high-quality, clear, and actionable recommendations. Following guideline publication, healthcare and academic institutions should strengthen training and dissemination efforts and ensure the availability of necessary implementation resources to facilitate the successful adoption of guidelines in clinical practice.

OBJECTIVES:
To investigate the clinical features and prognosis of children with non-Down-syndrome-related acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (non-DS-AMKL).
METHODS:
A retrospective analysis was conducted on the medical data of 17 children with non-DS-AMKL who were admitted to Children's Hospital of The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2013 to December 2023, and their clinical features, treatment, and prognosis were summarized.
RESULTS:
Among the 17 children with non-DS-AMKL, there were 8 boys and 9 girls. Fourteen patients had an onset age of less than 36 months, with a median age of 21 months (range:13-145 months). Immunophenotyping results showed that 16 children were positive for CD61 and 13 were positive for CD41. The karyotype analysis was performed on 16 children, with normal karyotype in 6 children and abnormal karyotype in 9 children, among whom 5 had complex karyotype and 1 had no mitotic figure. Detected fusion genes included EVI1, NUP98-KDM5A, KDM5A-MIS18BP1, C22orf34-BRD1, WT1, and MLL-AF9. Genetic alterations included TET2, D7S486 deletion (suggesting 7q-), CSF1R deletion, and PIM1. All 17 children received chemotherapy, among whom 16 (94%) achieved complete remission after one course of induction therapy, and 1 child underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and remained alive and disease-free. Of all children, 7 experienced recurrence, among whom 1 child received HSCT and died of graft-versus-host disease. At the last follow-up, six patients remained alive and disease-free.
CONCLUSIONS
Non-DS-AMKL primarily occurs in children between 1 and 3 years of age. The patients with this disorder have a high incidence rate of chromosomal abnormalities, with complex karyotypes in most patients. Some patients harbor fusion genes or gene mutations. Although the initial remission rate is high, the long-term survival rate remains low.

Objective Little is known about the association between whole-blood nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide(NAD+)levels and nabothian cysts.This study aimed to assess the association between NAD+levels and nabothian cysts in healthy Chinese women. Methods Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the association between NAD+levels and nabothian cysts. Results The mean age was 43.0±11.5 years,and the mean level of NAD+was 31.3±5.3 μmol/L.Nabothian cysts occurred in 184(27.7%)participants,with single and multiple cysts in 100(15.0%)and 84(12.6%)participants,respectively.The total nabothian cyst prevalence gradually decreased from 37.4%to 21.6%from Q1 to Q4 of NAD+and the prevalence of single and multiple nabothian cysts also decreased across the NAD+quartiles.As compared with the highest NAD+quartile(≥34.4 μmol/L),the adjusted odds ratios with 95%confidence interval of the NAD+Q1 was 1.89(1.14-3.14)for total nabothian cysts.The risk of total and single nabothian cysts linearly decreased with increasing NAD+levels,while the risk of multiple nabothian cysts decreased more rapidly at NAD+levels of 28.0 to 35.0 μmol/L. Conclusion:Low NAD+levels were associated with an increased risk of total and multiple nabothian cysts.

Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) R132H is the most common mutated gene in grade II-III gliomas and oligodendrogliomas. Instead of activating telomerase (a reverse transcriptase which using RNA as a template to extend telomere length), the majority of IDH1R132H mutant glioma maintain telomere length through an alternative mechanism that relies on homologous recombination (HR), which is known as alterative lengthening of telomere (ALT).The phenotype of ALT mechanism include: ALT associated promyelocytic leukemia protein (PML) bodies (APBs); extrachromosomal telomeric DNA repeats such as C- and T-loops; telomeric sister chromatid exchange (T-SCE), etc. The mechanism of ALT activation is not fully understood. Recent studies have shown that mutation IDH1 contributes to ALT phenotype in glioma cells in at least three key ways. Firstly, the IDH1R132H mutation mediates RAP1 down-regulation leading to telomere dysfunction, thus ensuring persistent endogenous telomeric DNA damage, which is important for ALT activation. Spontaneous DNA damage at telomeres may provide a substrate for mutation break-induced replication (BIR)‑mediated ALT telomere lengthening, and it has been demonstrated that RAP1 inhibits telomeric repeat-containing RNA, transcribed from telomeric DNA repeat sequences (TERRA) transcription to down-regulate ALT telomere DNA replication stress and telomeric DNA damage, thereby inhibiting ALT telomere synthesis. Similarly, in ALT cells, knockdown of telomere-specific RNaseH1 nuclease triggers TERRA accumulation, which leads to increased replication pressure. Overexpression of RNaseH1, on the other hand, attenuates the recombination capacity of ALT telomeres, leading to telomere depletion, suggesting that RAP1 can regulate the level of replication pressure and thus ALT activity by controlling TERRA expression. Secondly, the IDH1R132H also alters the preference of the telomere damage repair pathway by down-regulating XRCC1, which inhibits the alternative non-homologous end joining (A-NHEJ) pathway at telomeres and alters cellular preference for the HR pathway to promote ALT. Finally, the IDH1R132H has a decreased affinity for isocitric acid and NADP+ and an increased affinity for α ketoglutarate (α‑KG) and NADPH, so that the mutant IDH1R132H catalyzes the hydrogenation of α‑KG to produce 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG)in a NADPH-dependent manner. Because 2-HG is structurally similar to α‑KG, which maintains the trimethylation level of H3k9me3 by competitively inhibiting the activity of the α‑KG-dependent histone demethylase KDM4B, and recruits heterochromatin protein HP1α to heterochromatinize telomeres, and promote ALT phenotypes in cooperation with the inactivating of ATRX. In addition, it has been shown that APBs contain telomeric chromatin, which is essentially heterochromatin, and HP1α is directly involved in the formation of APBs. Based on these studies, this article reviews the mechanism of IDH1R132H mediated telomere dysfunction and the preference of DNA repair pathway at telomeres in cooperate with ATRX loss to promote ALT, which may provide references for clinical targeted therapy of IDH1R132H mutant glioma.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of arthroscopic surgery for the treatment of femoral acetabular impingement (FAI) in athletes.Methods:A total of 18 FAI athletes (athlete group) who underwent hip arthroscopy in the Department of Sports Medicine, Peking University Third Hospital from April 2014 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, including 12 males and 6 females, aged 20.44±3.45 years (range, 15-27 years). According to gender, age, body mass index and follow-up time, 36 non-athlete FAI patients (non-athlete group) were matched at a ratio of 1∶2 by propensity score matching method. There were 18 males and 18 females, aged 20.81±4.68 years (range 14-31 years). The hip pain visual analogue scale (VAS), modified Harris hip score (mHHS), hip outcome score-activity of daily living scale (HOS-ADL) and hip outcome score-sports scale (HOS-SS) scores were compared between the two groups before and after surgery. The minimal clinically important difference (MCID) and patient acceptable symptomatic state (PASS) were also compared between the two groups.Results:All patients successfully completed the surgery and were followed up for 33.56±19.20 months (range, 24-77 months). The VAS score at the last follow-up decreased from 6.22±1.52 points before surgery to 1.28±1.67 points in the athletes group, and decreased from 6.28±1.37 points before surgery to 1.67±1.69 points in the non-athletes group. There was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). The mHHS score at the last follow-up increased from 65.53±12.90 points before surgery to 92.28±13.59 points in the athletes group, and increased from 61.01±11.96 points before surgery to 86.82±11.98 points in the non-athletes group. There was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). The HOS-ADL score at the last follow-up increased from 72.77±18.86 points before surgery to 94.00±11.36 points in the athletes group, and increased from 70.35±13.12 points before surgery to 90.78±9.36 points in non-athletes group. There was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). The HOS-SS score at the last follow-up increased from 49.77±22.93 points before surgery to 87.28±17.62 points in the athletes group, and increased from 44.08±19.66 before surgery to 72.57±20.16 in the non-athletes group. The HOS-SS scores in the athletes group at the last follow-up were higher than those in the non-athletes group ( P<0.05). Furthermore, 61% (11/18) in the athletes group achieved MCID in HOS-ADL after surgery, which was lower than the non-athletes group's 81% (31/36), with a statistically significant difference (χ 2=4.339, P=0.037). Conclusion:Hip arthroscopy in the treatment of FAI in athletes can achieve satisfactory pain relief and motor function.

Ovarian cancer is one of the most common gynecologic cancers in the world.Over the past few decades,there has been considerable research reporting on the mechanisms of cancer development and progression,with multiple nerve as well as neurotransmitters involved.Nerve innervation is also found in ovarian cancer.And in ovarian cancer,various nerves and neurotransmitters play different roles.They are involved in ovarian cancer cells'proliferation metastasis,apoptosis and changes in the tumor microenvironment.Further understanding of the role of these nerve endings in the development of ovarian cancer is essential for understanding the mechanisms of cancer progression.This will be important for subsequent research focusing on tumor regulation.While glucocorticoids and sympathetic nerve-released norepinephrine are able to promote ovarian cancer progression,serotonin may inhibit cancer cell growth.Also,parasympathetic and sensory nerves are capable of having either a positive or negative effect on ovarian tumors.These relevant studies offer the possibility of new therapeutic options for oncology,it may be possible to mitigate the progression of cancer with inexpensive receptor inhibitors or agonists.This will facilitate the subsequent exploration of therapeutic possibilities forovarian cancer and other cancer-related treatments.In this review,we also present some insights into the role of the nervous system in the regulation of ovarian cancer,which we hope will provide new insights into the innervation and progression of ovarian cancer.

Objective:To investigate the molecular mechanisms of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), to identify key cell subgroups and genes, to construct effective diagnostic models, and to screen for potential therapeutic drugs.Methods:Key cell subgroups in CRS were identified through single-cell transcriptomic sequencing data. Essential genes associated with CRS were selected and diagnostic models were constructed by hdWGCNA (high dimensional weighted gene co-expression network analysis) and various machine learning algorithms. Causal inference analysis was performed using Mendelian randomization and colocalization analysis. Potential therapeutic drugs were identified using molecular docking technology, and the results of bioinformatics analysis were validated by immunofluorescence staining. Graphpad Prism, R, Python, and Adobe Illustrator software were used for data and image processing.Results:An increased proportion of basal and suprabasal cells was observed in CRS, especially in eosinophilic CRS with nasal polyps (ECRSwNP), with P=0.001. hdWGCNA revealed that the "yellow module" was closely related to basal and suprabasal cells in CRS. Univariate logistic regression and LASSO algorithm selected 13 key genes ( CTSC, LAMB3, CYP2S1, TRPV4, ARHGAP21, PTHLH, CDH26, MRPS6, TENM4, FAM110C, NCKAP5, SAMD3, and PTCHD4). Based on these 13 genes, an effective CRS diagnostic model was developed using various machine learning algorithms (AUC=0.958). Mendelian randomization analysis indicated a causal relationship between CTSC and CRS (inverse variance weighted: OR=1.06, P=0.006), and colocalization analysis confirmed shared genetic variants between CTSC and CRS (PPH4/PPH3>2). Molecular docking results showed that acetaminophen binded well with CTSC (binding energy:-5.638 kcal/mol). Immunofluorescence staining experiments indicated an increase in CTSC +cells in CRS. Conclusion:This study integrates various bioinformatics methods to identify key cell types and genes in CRS, constructs an effective diagnostic model, underscores the critical role of the CTSC gene in CRS pathogenesis, and provides new targets for the treatment of CRS.
