Based on the "regulating the pivot and unblocking the stomach" theory， this article proposes that the core pathogenesis of bile reflux gastritis （BRG） is disharmony of the three pivots and imbalance between the gallbladder and the stomach. Specifically， the pivot of zang-fu （脏腑） organs （spleen and stomach） exhibits abnormal ascending and descending functions， while the pivot of opening and closing （shaoyang） shows impaired flow， and the pivot of mind （heart and brain） has disordered regulation. These three pivots interact， ultimately leading to bile reflux attacking the stomach， injuring the gastric mucosa， and causing symptoms such as epigastric distension， pain， acid regurgitation， and heartburn. Clinically， the treatment principle is unblocking and regulating the three pivots， harmonizing the gallbladder and descending stomach qi， which closely follows the different pathomechanisms of three-pivot dysregulation， applying treatment according to syndrome differentiation. The regulation of the pivot of zang-fu organs focuses on fortifying the spleen and harmonzing stomach， raising the clear and directing the turbid downward. The regulation of the opening-and-closing pivot emphasizes harmonizing shaoyang， promoting gallbladder function and bowel movement. The regulation of the mind pivot centers on calming the heart and the mind， and harmonizing the stomach to ensure smooth qi flow. "Unblocking and regulating three pivots" method aims to restore the physiological functions of the gallbladder and stomach， providing a conceptual framework for the clinical management of BRG.

Objective: To investigate the current status of institutional review board construction in blood collection and supply institutions in China, and to provide evidence for standardized management of transfusion medicine ethics. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted to assess the development of institutional review boards in blood collection and supply institutions in 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions across the country, excluding hong kong, macao and taiwan. Data were statistically analyzed using the chi-square test and Mann-Whitney U test. Results: Among 83 blood collection and supply institutions, the establishment rate of institutional review boards was 66.27% (55/83), with a higher rate in blood centers than in central blood stations. Of the 55 ethics review committees, 83.64% (46/55) uploaded information and completed registration in the National Medical Research Registration and Filing Information System. The registration rate was higher in blood centers than in central blood stations. On average, each institutional review board conducted 3 initial reviews and approved 2 research projects. The number of initial review items and the number of approved research projects were higher in blood centers than in central blood stations. Common problems in both blood centers and central blood stations included the appointment of the main leader as the director or deputy director, insufficient allocation of ethics professionals, and the general absence of an ethical review system for emergencies. Most committees lacked independent venues, and continuous training coverage was incomplete. Meanwhile, blood collection and supply institutions generally showed high level of ethical recognition of existing blood donation incentive measures. Conclusion: Progress has been made in the construction of transfusion medicine ethics in China; however, shortcomings remain in independence, professional composition of committee members, continuous training, and emergency response systems, requiring targeted improvements.

By analyzing the current application of multi-modal data in the diagnosis of gastric "inflammation-cancer" transformation， this study explored the feasibility and strategies for constructing a disease-syndrome integrated diagnosis and treatment system. Based on traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） phenomics， we proposed utilizing multi-modal data from literature research， cross-sectional studies， and cohort follow-ups， combined with artificial intelligence technology， to establish a multi-dimensional diagnostic and treatment index system. This approach aims to uncover the complex pathogenesis and transformation patterns of gastric "inflammation-cancer" progression. Additionally， by dynamically collecting TCM four-diagnostic information and modern medical diagnostic information through a long-term follow-up system， we developed three major modules including information extraction， multi-modal phenotypic modeling， and information output， to make it enable real-world clinical data-driven long-term follow-up and treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis. This system can provide technical support for clinical diagnosis， treatment evaluation， and research， while also offering insights and methods for intelligent TCM diagnosis.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of secondary transport on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for critically ill children.Methods:This was a retrospective cohort study. Data from 222 pediatric patients who underwent ECMO transport from May 2019 to May 2024 at 5 ECMO centers and Chinese Database of Pediatric Extracorporeal Life Support Organization were collected. The cases were divided into primary and secondary transport groups by nature of transport. The clinical data, including demographics, ECMO indications, transport distance, pre-transport lab results, prognosis and complications were analyzed. Two independent samples t-test, Wilcoxon test, and χ2 test or Fisher′s exact probability method were used to compare the differences between 2 groups and evaluate the safety and efficacy of secondary transport. Results:Among the 222 children transported with ECMO, there were 135 males and 87 females, with an age of 3.0 (0.2, 7.0) years. There were 202 cases in the primary transport group and 20 cases in the secondary transport group. All secondary transport patients had failed attempts at weaning ECMO before transfer. The patients in the secondary transport group were older, had higher rates of surgical cannulation, circulatory support, and pre-ECMO lactate levels compared to the primary transport group (7.0 (2.8, 10.0) vs. 3.0 (0.2, 6.0) years old, 55.0% (11/20) vs. 3.6% (7/202), 80.0% (16/20) vs. 41.6% (84/202), (10±4) vs. (7±6) mmol/L, Z=3.41, χ 2=66.31, 10.99, t=2.24, all P<0.05). In the secondary transport group, the vasoactive-inotropic scores of patients on circulatory support and the oxygenation index for patients requiring respiratory support were higher than those in the primary transport group (83±33 vs. 82±68, 51.0±1.8 vs. 37.4±10.2, t=2.36, 2.63, respectively; both P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences between the 2 groups in sex, transport distance, pre-ECMO creatinine, arterial blood gas BE values, and ECMO duration (all P>0.05). No life-threatening complications occurred during the transport in either group. Two patients in the secondary transport group underwent heart transplantation, and 1 patient underwent radiofrequency ablation. The overall survival rate between the 2 groups showed no statistically significant difference (45.0% (9/20) vs. 55.4% (112/202), χ2=1.15, P>0.05). Conclusions:Secondary ECMO transport for critically ill children don't increase mortality or life-threatening complications during transport. ECMO patients who cannot receive effective treatment locally can benefit from secondary transport to an advanced ECMO center provides further treatment opportunities.

Objective To investigate the appropriate indicators for monitoring pediatric nociceptive stimu-lation,this study compared the SPI and NOX,two dual-parameter nociceptive stimulation monitors based on different principles,in terms of their effects on remifentanil consumption and postoperative recovery in pediatric adenotonsil-lectomy.Methods Children aged 3～12 years who were scheduled to undergo adenotonsillectomy under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation were randomly assigned to the conventional group(Group R,n=19),the SPI group(Group S,n=19),and the NOX group(Group N,n=18)according to the type of nociceptive stimu-lation monitor used.All children were subjected to routine fasting.The depth of anesthesia was monitored using a BIS monitor,and the remifentanil infusion rate was adjusted according to heart rate,SPI,or NOX values to maintain the index within the range of 30～50.After surgery,all children were transferred to the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit(PACU)with the tracheal catheter in place until they recovered.During the operation,the consumption of anes-thetics such as remifentanil was recorded.Postoperatively,pain and agitation scores,the incidence of agitation at different time points,the duration of anesthesia,the surgical time,the time to extubation,and the length of stay in the recovery room were measured.Additionally,postoperative adverse reactions and perioperative vital signs were documented.Results In comparison with Group R,in Group N,the intraoperative consumption of remifentanil and the agitation score during the recovery period were significantly reduced.Conversely,in Group S,both of(P<0.05).There were no significant disparities in the FLACC score,the incidence of agitation,and the extubation time among the three groups.Conclusions The NOX index can serve as a quantitative metric for monitoring nonci-ceptive stimulation during pediatric adenotonsillectomy.This index has the potential to decrease the intraoperative consumption of opioids and the residence time in the recovery room.

Objective To analyze the effects of intravenous tirofiban following endovascular treatment on the prognosis of patients with acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion stroke who did not achieve successful recanalization.Methods This retrospective study included consecutive patients with acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke who underwent endovascular treatment but did not achieve successful recanalization.These patients were retrospectively enrolled from the Department of Neurology at Nanjing Jinling Hospital,Affiliated Hospital of Medical School,Nanjing University,the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University,Wuhan No.1 Hospital,and Yijishan Hospital of Wannan Medical College(the First Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College)between January 2015 and April 2023.Baseline and clinical data were collected including age,sex,medical history(hypertension,diabetes,atrial fibrillation,hyperlipidemia),personal history(smoking and drinking),National Institutes of Health stroke scale(NIHSS)score at admission,trial of Org 10172 in acute stroke treatment(TOAST)classification(large artery atherosclerosis,cardioembolism,or other types),Alberta stroke program early CT score(ASPECTS)on admission,intravenous thrombolysis,onset-to-puncture time(OTP),collateral circulation status(poor collaterals:American Society of Interventional and Therapeutic Neuroradiology/Society of Interventional Radiology[ASTIN/SIR]score 0-2;good collateral:ASTIN/SIR score 3-4),procedure duration(from femoral or radial artery puncture to device removal),occlusion site,number of passes for thrombus retrieval,and post-procedural modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction(mTICI)grade.Patients were divided into a tirofiban group and a non-tirofiban group based on whether they received post-procedural intravenous tirofiban.The primary outcome is a favorable functional outcome at 90-day since onset(modified Rankin scale[mRS]score ≤ 3).Safety outcomes included mortality at 90-day since onset(mRS score 6),any intracranial hemorrhage within 24 h post-procedure,and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage within 24 h post-procedure.1∶1 propensity score matchings using the nearest neighbor method was performed based on variables with P＜0.05 in the comparison between the tirofiban and non-tirofiban groups.Differences in primary and safety outcomes between the matched groups were compared.Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were conducted with favorable outcomes at 90 days as the dependent variable to evaluate the effect of intravenous tirofiban administration after endovascular therapy on 90-day prognosis in patients without successful recanalization.Results A total of 356 patients without successful recanalization after endovascular treatment were included,comprising 195 males and 161 females,with a median age of 70(61,78)years(32-92 years).Among them,76 and 280patients were assigned to the tirofiban and non-tirofiban groups,respectively.At 90 days,114 patients had favorable outcomes,while 242 had unfavorable outcomes.(1)Before the 1∶1 propensity score matching,significant differences were observed between the tirofiban and non-tirofiban groups in terms of admission NIHSS score,ASPECTS,good collateral circulation,intravenous thrombolysis,and mTICI grade(all P＜0.05).After 1∶1 propensity score matching,66 matched pairs(132 patients)were obtained.No significant differences in the baseline and clinical characteristics were found between the two groups after matching(all P＞0.05).(2)After 1∶1 matching,a significant difference was observed in the rate of favorable outcomes at 90 days between the two groups(48.5％[32/66]vs.30.3％[20/66],P=0.033)after propensity score matching,while no significant differences were found in 90-day mortality,intracranial hemorrhage within 24h,or symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage within 24h(all P＞0.05).(3)Univariate analysis after 1∶1 matching indicated that age,atrial fibrillation,smoking history,admission NIHSS score,M2 segment middle cerebral artery occlusion,good collateral circulation,number of passes for thrombus retrieval,and tirofiban treatment were factors influencing favorable outcomes at 90 days.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that younger age(aOR,0.942,95％CI 0.906-0.978,P=0.002),lower admission NIHSS score(aOR,0.855,95％CI 0.777-0.941,P=0.001),good collateral circulation(aOR,5.534,95％CI 2.141-14.301,P＜0.01),tirofiban treatment(aOR,2.774,95％CI 1.092-7.046,P=0.032),and M2 segment MCA occlusion(reference:internal carotid artery occlusion;aOR,4.874,95％CI 1.428-16.632,P=0.011)were independent predictors of favorable outcomes at 90 days.Conclusions Intravenous tirofiban administration after endovascular therapy may improve 90-day neurological outcomes in patients with acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion stroke who did not achieve successful recanalization without increasing the risk of hemorrhage.Further large-scale randomized controlled trials are warranted to validate these findings.

In recent years, significant progress has been made in the treatment of chronic constipation, with high-quality studies emerging in areas such as fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), sacral neuromodulation (SNM), acupuncture, and surgical techniques. The therapeutic approach is shifting from a traditional "medication and surgery" model toward an integrated strategy that includes dietary and defecation habit adjustment, FMT, SNM, acupuncture, pharmacotherapy, and surgery. Although FMT can partially improve stool frequency and consistency, its standardization and long-term efficacy require further validation. SNM demonstrates limited effectiveness in treating chronic constipation and is relatively cost-inefficient. Electroacupuncture remains controversial, though some studies support its value. Biofeedback therapy is recommended by multiple guidelines as the first-line treatment for dyssynergic defecation (DD), with portable home-based biofeedback systems showing considerable potential. For internal rectal prolapse (IRP) and rectocele (RC), various surgical options exist without a clear superiority, though laparoscopic ventral rectopexy (VMR) is increasingly favored due to its low recurrence rate and high patient satisfaction. In the surgical management of slow transit constipation (STC), total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis remains the mainstream approach, while subtotal colectomy is gaining attention as an alternative.
