ObjectiveTo improve the quality and service performance of community visual health services in Shanghai, and to establish a set of reasonable and effective evaluation index system for community visual health services. MethodsCentered on the national and Shanghai-based visual health policies and based on the current status and development trends of community visual health service program in Shanghai, the candidate indicators were formed through literature review and expert interviews, firstly. The framework of an evaluation index system was formulated through qualitative research successively, which was further revised and perfected using the Delphi method. Coefficient weights were calculated using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), culminating in the establishment of the community visual health evaluation index system, lastly. ResultsA total of 22 visual health experts from district-level center for disease control, hospital ophthalmology and leaders in charging of visual health service in community health centers participated in the Delphi questionnaire survey, with a questionnaire recovery rate of 100% and an expert authority coefficient of 0.86, indicating high credibility. After a round of correspondence to experts’ importance ratings and discussions, a comprehensive evaluation index system comprising 3 primary indicators, 12 secondary indicators, and 47 tertiary indicators, along with 5 additional indicators, was finalized. ConclusionAn index system tailored to effective evaluation for community visual health initiatives was drawn up in this study, which can promote the capacity building in community eye health services, facilitating the high-quality development of visual health courses, and enhancing residents’ eye health.

Severe open tibiofibular fractures account for approximately 28.1% of all open fractures. Among them, Gustilo-Anderson type IIIB/C fractures present significant clinical challenges due to associated bone and soft tissue defects, high infection rates, and risk of amputation. Inadequate preoperative assessment may lead to suboptimal emergency surgical planning or intraoperative complications. Historically, external fixation was often preferred, but this approach has been associated with limitations such as restricted joint mobility, delayed bone union, joint stiffness, and disuse osteoporosis, resulting in poor functional recovery. With advancements of debridement techniques, standardization of antibiotic use, and popularization of early soft tissue coverage, early internal fixation has gained broader acceptance. Nevertheless, controversies persist regarding the choice of fixation method, timing of definitive fixation, use of reamed versus unreamed intramedullary nailing, and necessity of fibular fixation. To standardize the diagnosis and early management of severe open tibiofibular fractures, reduce complication rates, and improve functional recovery, the Society of Microsurgery of the Chinese Medical Association organized a panel of domestic experts to develop the Evidence-based guideline for the diagnosis and early fixation of severe open tibiofibular fractures ( version 2025), using evidence-based methodology. The guidelines provided 12 recommendations covering diagnostic and early fixation strategies of severe open tibiofibular fractures, aiming to provide clinicians with scientifically grounded and standardized guidance.

Objective:To explore the effects of respiratory muscle training(RMT)combined with phrenic nerve electrical stimulation(PNES)on coughing ability and lung function in stroke patients with pulmonary infection.Method:A total of 66 patients with pulmonary infection after stroke,admitted to our hospital from January 2022 to January 2024,were randomly assigned to either an observation group or a control group,with 33 cas-es in each group.During the study,three patients from each group dropped out.Both groups received conven-tional pharmacological and rehabilitation treatment.Additionally,the observation group received combined RMT and PNES,administered once a day,5 days per week,for 4 weeks.Outcome measures included:Cough peak flow rate(CPF),Clinical Pulmonary Infection Score(CPIS),and Borg Dyspnea Scale scores,assessed at baseline,1 week,2 weeks,and 4 weeks.Pulmonary function tests were performed at baseline and after 4 weeks,including maximum inspiratory pressure(MIP),maximum expiratory pressure(MEP),forced vital ca-pacity(FVC),forced expiratory volume in the first second(FEV1),maximum volume per minute(MVV).The percentages of predicted values(FVC％,FEV1％,MVV％)were calculated.Coughing ability and pulmo-nary function were compared between the groups.Result:At baseline and after 1 week of treatment,there were no significant between-group differences in CPF,CPIS,or Borg Dyspnea scores(P>0.05).However,after 2 and 4 weeks of treatment,the observation group showed significantly greater improvements in CPF,CPIS,and Borg Dyspnea scores compared to the control group(P<0.05).Furthermore,after 4 weeks of treatment,the improvement in all pulmonary function parame-ters(MIP,MEP,FVC％,FEV1％,MVV％)was significantly greater in the observation group than in the con-trol group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Respiratory muscle training combined with phrenic nerve electrical stimulation can effectively improve the coughing ability,alleviate pulmonary infection,and enhance lung function in stroke patients within a short peri-od of time,which is worthy of promotion and application in the treatment of lung infection in early stroke.

The university also constructs a participatory teaching method based on online-offline platforms, pre-class/post-class engagement, and on-campus/off-campus collaboration, as well as a teaching assessment system with multiple subjects, multiple dimensions, dynamic evolution, and virtue orientation. The university has also built a diversified collaborative educational practice platform among universities, hospitals, and communities, thereby forming a comprehensive medical humanities teaching model with the teaching of humanistic knowledge, the cultivation of humanistic spirit, and the training of good behaviors.

This article retrospectively analyzed the involvement of clinical pharmacists in the treatment process and implementation of pharmacological supervision in a patient with septic arthritis secondary to tophi ulceration.The patient was admitted to the hospital and the emergency debridement and tophi removal were performed.Piperacillin-tazobactam,imipenem cilastatin,levofloxacin,linezolid,and vancomycin were given successively,and multiple debridement and drainage were performed,but the patient remained febrile and had recurrent infection indicators.According to the relevant guidelines and evidence-based evidence,combined with the patient's infection indicators,pathogen results and creatinine clearance rate,the clinical pharmacists recommended stopping vancomycin and changing to cefazolin,and the clinicians adopted it.After that,the patient's inflammatory indicators gradually decreased,and the body temperature stabilized.After 28 days of piperacillin-tazobactam administration,the patient developed a reduction in white blood cell count(2.34×109·L-1)and potassium(2.98 mmol·L-1).The pharmacist recommended prompt discontinuation of the drug,and the patient's white blood cell count and potassium gradually recovered.Eventually,after anti-infective treatment and surgical intervention,the patient was discharged with closure of the infected foci,conversion of multiple blood cultures to negative,and stabilisation of body temperature and renal function.This case reflects the role of clinical pharmacists in the management of drug treatment of critically ill patients,and may provide practical experience and reference for clinical treatment of such cases.
