ObjectiveTo characterize the evidence distribution and methodological quality of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on oral Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) for atopic dermatitis (AD) based on evidence mapping. MethodsSeven databases (CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, CBM, Cochrane Library, PubMed, and Embase) and the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry were searched for the RCTs in Chinese and English. Evidence distribution was presented graphically and textually, and methodological quality was assessed via the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool (ROB 1.0). ResultsA total of 168 RCTs were included. The number of annual publications showing an increasing trend, and 72.6% RCTs had sample sizes of 51-100 participants. The studies evaluated 108 distinct CHM interventions categorized as decoctions, granules, Chinese patent medicines, and extracts. Compound Glycyrrhizin was the most frequently used, followed by Xiaofengsan and Chushi Weiling decoction. Among the RCTs, 57.1% had the treatment courses of 4-8 weeks. Outcome measures predominantly focused on clinical response rate, skin lesion severity scores, and adverse events, with less attention to TCM symptom scores, skin barrier function, and relapse rates. The overall risk of bias was generally high. ConclusionWhile CHM for AD is a research hotspot and demonstrates clinical advantages, the related studies have problems such as unclear clinical positioning, poor research standardization and methodological quality, and insufficient prominence of TCM clinical advantages. Large-sample, methodologically rigorous, and high-quality studies are needed to enhance the evidence base for CHM in treating AD.

Objective:
To analyze the mediating effect of activities of daily living (ADL) among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on caregiver ability and caregiver burden, so as to provide a basis for improving the quality of care.
Methods:
From February 2024 to March 2025, COPD patients and their caregivers from the Department of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine of a tertiary hospital in Haikou were selected using convenience sampling method. Data on the basic characteristics of both caregivers and patients were collected through questionnaire surveys. The Chinese version of the Family Caregiver Capacity Scale, the Chinese version of the Caregiver Burden Inventory, and the Barthel Index were used to assess caregiver ability, caregiver burden, and patients' ADL, respectively. The mediating effect of ADL among COPD patients on caregiver ability and caregiver burden was analyzed using the Process macro 4.0, with the significance tested via the Bootstrap method.
Results:
A total of 348 caregivers were surveyed, among whom 274 (78.74%) were females and 74 (21.26%) were males. The majority of caregivers were aged 40 years and above, with 291 individuals (83.62%). The relationship between caregivers and patients was primarily that of being their children, with 185 individuals (53.16%). Correspondingly, 348 COPD patients were surveyed, and the predominant type of medical insurance was the New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme, with 172 cases (49.43%). The median scores of caregiver ability, caregiver burden, and patients' ADL were 19.00 (interquartile range, 5.00), 47.00 (interquartile range, 8.00) and 45.00 (interquartile range, 15.00) points, respectively. Mediating analysis showed that caregiver ability directly affected caregiver burden, with an effect value of 0.693 (95%CI: 0.553-0.832). It also indirectly affected caregiver burden through the patients' ADL, with an effect value of 0.104 (95%CI: 0.029-0.179). This mediating effect accounted for 13.05% of the total effect.
Conclusion
The ADL of COPD patients played a mediating role between caregiver ability and caregiver burden, with caregiver ability exerting a significant positive indirect effect on caregiver burden through patients' ADL.

【Objective】 To investigate the frequency of platelet antibodies in voluntary blood donors and patients in Zhongshan, Guangdong Province, and to study the specificity and cross-matching of platelet antibodies. 【Methods】 Platelet antibodies of blood donors and patients were screened by solid-phase immunoadsorption (SPIA), rechecked by flow cytometry (FCM), and antibody specificity was identified by PakPlus enzyme immunoassay, and platelet cross-matching was simulated by SPIA. 【Results】 A total of 1 049 blood donor samples and 598 patient samples were tested, with 6 (0.57%) and 49 (8.19%) samples positive for SPIA,respectively(P<0.05); In SPIA positive samples, the positive concordance rate of FCM in blood donors and patients was 100% vs 95%, and that of enzyme immunoassay was 100% vs 88%. Among the initial screening positive samples of blood donors, 5 were anti-HLA Ⅰ antibodies, accounting for 83%, and 1 was anti CD36 antibody, accounting for 17%, with an incidence rate of 0.10%. Among the 14 samples of enzyme immunoassay positive patients, 2 were anti-GP Ⅱb/Ⅲa, 1 was anti-GP Ⅱa/Ⅱa, 8 were anti HLA Ⅰ, and 3 were mixed antibodies (HLA Ⅰ, GP Ⅱb/Ⅲa, GP Ⅰa/Ⅱa). According to the types of antibodies, HLA Ⅰ antibodies were the most common, accounting for 65% (11/17), followed by HPA related anti GP, accounting for 35% (6/17). The majority of patients had a platelet antibody positive typing rate below 30%, accounting for 71.4% (10/14). 【Conclusions】 The positive rate of platelet antibody of patients in Zhongshan area is significantly higher than that of voluntary blood donors, and most of them are anti-HLA Ⅰ and anti-GP, and the incidence of anti-CD36 is extremely low. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a known platelet antigen donor bank, and at the same time, carry out platelet antibody testing and matching of patients, which is helpful to solve the issue of platelet transfusion refractoriness.

【Objective】 To explore the model of treatment of refractory wounds by apheresis platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and evaluate its efficacy and safety. 【Methods】 PRP treatment was carried out for 34 patients with refractory wounds who were hospitalized in our hospital from June 2020 to December 2023. The patient′s autologous PRP was collected by the blood composition separator. PRP point-like injection and/or direct application along the edge of the wound, or platelet gel (PG) to cover the wound and fill the sinus were used to treat different types of wounds. The frequency of treatment was once to twice a week, with each course of treatment consisting of 4 to 5 sessions. The efficacy was observed and recorded, and the safety was evaluated. 【Results】 Before PRP collection, the basal platelet, white blood cell and red blood cell counts were (321.85±114.64) ×109/L, (9.52±3.21) ×109/L and (4.34±0.62) ×1012/L, respectively. The counts of platelets, white blood cells and red blood cells in PRP products were (1 438.53±376.89)×109/L, (1.38±1.03)×109/L and (0.03±0.01)×1012/L, respectively. The platelet concentration of PRP products increased by 4.47 times on average, and the sampled bacterial culture was negative. Out of 34 patients treated with PRP, 33 showed improvement in symptoms, while 1 did not respond well due to long-term bedridden and poor compliance. Four patients had mild adverse reactions during PRP collection or treatment, but all were able to complete PRP collection or treatment after standardized treatment. 【Conclusion】 Apheresis PRP products have the advantages of stable quality, safety, reliability and traceability, and can effectively promote the healing of a variety of refractory wounds. Its treatment process is safe and effective, and is worthy of popularization and application.

Objective:To investigate the value of ultrasonic measurement of the ratio of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) to eyeball transverse diameter(ETD) in the diagnosis and prognosis of intracranial hypertension in patients with craniocerebral trauma.Methods:A total of 120 patients with craniocerebral trauma treated in the Xingtai General Hospital of North China Medical and Health Group from December 2021 to January 2023 were perspectively selected, and they were divided into normal intracranial pressure group (73 cases) and intracranial hypertension group (47 cases) according to the results of intracranial pressure measurements, and the intracranial hypertension group was divided into good prognosis group (20 cases) and poor prognosis group (27 cases) according to the follow-up prognosis. The efficacy of ONSD, ETD and ONSD/ETD in intracranial hypertension diagnosis and prognosis assessment were analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Kaplan-Meier method was used to evaluate the 6-month risk of adverse prognosis of patients, and the comparison was made by Log-rank test.Results:The levels of intracranial pressure, ONSD, ONSD/ETD in the normal intracranial pressure group were lower than those in the intracranial hypertension group: (130.73 ± 23.63) mmH 2O (1 mmH 2O = 0.009 8 kPa) vs. (270.11 ± 35.78) mmH 2O, (5.47 ± 0.29) mm vs. (5.78 ± 0.44) mm, 0.246 ± 0.018 vs. 0.263 ± 0.018, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The scores of Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), intracranial pressure, ONSD, ONSD/ETD in the good prognosis group were lower than those in the poor prognosis group: (5.50 ± 1.24) scores vs. (6.41 ± 1.34) scores, (256.15 ± 30.23) mmH 2O vs. (280.44 ± 36.56) mmH 2O, (5.62 ± 0.40) mm vs. (5.90 ± 0.44) mm, 0.254 ± 0.014 vs. 0.270 ± 0.017, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). ROC curve analysis results showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of ONSD and ONSD/ETD for diagnosing intracranial hypertension in patients with craniocerebral trauma were 0.718 and 0.765, respectively, and the critical values were 5.87 mm and 0.263, respectively. The AUC of ONSD and ONSD/ETD predicting prognosis of intracranial hypertension patients was 0.677 and 0.763, respectively, and the critical values were 5.90 mm and 0.267, respectively. Grouped by the threshold of ONSD/ETD for the prognosis of intracranial hypertension (0.267), the incidence of adverse prognosis in ONSD/ETD > 0.267 group was higher than that in the ONSD/ETD≤0.267 group, there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). Conclusions:ONSD/ETD can be used as an index for diagnosis and prognosis of intracranial hypertension.
