ObjectiveTo investigate the intervention mechanism of the traditional Chinese medicine Number 2 Feibi recipe （N2FBR） in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis （IPF）， focusing on its effects on endoplasmic reticulum （ER） stress， apoptosis， stemness maintenance， and regenerative capacity of alveolar type Ⅱ epithelial cells （AT2 cells）， and to validate the modern translational pathway of the theory of "deficiency of Zong Qi leading to pulmonary atelectasis and atrophy". MethodsA mouse model of pulmonary fibrosis was induced by bleomycin （BLM）. Mice were randomly divided into blank control， model， low-， and high-dose N2FBR intervention groups （9.1， 18.2 g·kg^-1）， and prednisolone intervention group （6.5 mg·kg^-1）. Pulmonary histopathological changes and collagen deposition were evaluated using hematoxylin-eosin （HE） and Masson's trichrome staining. Hydroxyproline （HYP） content was measured by the alkaline hydrolysis method. Lung coefficient and pulmonary function parameters were evaluated. The mRNA expression levels of fibrosis-related factors， including collagen type Ⅰ alpha 1 chain （ColIa1）， alpha-smooth muscle actin （α-SMA）， and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 （Timp1）， were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR）. Cell apoptosis was assessed using the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling （TUNEL） assay. Apoptosis of AT2 cells was further evaluated by double immunofluorescence staining for surfactant protein C （SPC） and cysteine-aspartic protease-3 （Caspase-3）. Endoplasmic reticulum （ER） stress in AT2 cells was examined by double staining for SPC and protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase （PERK）. Ultrastructural changes of ER and lamellar bodies in AT2 cells were observed by transmission electron microscopy （TEM）. The expression levels of key proteins involved in ER stress and apoptosis pathways， including PERK， activating transcription factor 4 （ATF4）， and Caspase-3， were detected by Western blot. Double immunofluorescence staining of SPC and Ki-67 antigen （Ki-67） was performed to evaluate the proliferative capacity of AT2 cells. Lineage tracing technology （labeling AT2 cells with GFP） combined with Krt8 labeling was used to evaluate intermediate differentiation states， and morphological transformation of AT2 cells into alveolar type Ⅰ epithelial cells （AT1） was observed. ResultsBLM-induced mice exhibited significant structural disruption of lung tissue， increased collagen deposition， elevated lung coefficient， decreased pulmonary function， and upregulation of fibrosis-related factors （P<0.01）. High-dose N2FBR treatment significantly ameliorated lung tissue damage and dysfunction， significantly reduced HYP content （P<0.01）， and significantly downregulated ColIa1， α-SMA， and Timp1 expression （P<0.01）. Apoptosis analysis showed increased TUNEL-positive and Caspase-3-positive AT2 cells in the model group， which was significantly reduced by high-dose N2FBR treatment. TEM revealed swollen ER structures in AT2 cells of the model group， which tended to return to normal following treatment. PERK protein staining analysis showed evident ER stress in AT2 cells of the model group， which were markedly alleviated in the treatment group. The expression levels of ER stress-related proteins PERK and ATF4， as well as the apoptosis-related protein Caspase-3， were elevated in the model group and significantly reduced after treatment. TEM also revealed disrupted lamellar body structures in the model group， which tended to recover in the treatment group. Regarding the proliferative capacity of AT2 cells， the proportion of Ki-67⁺SPC⁺ AT2 cells significantly increased in the treatment group （P<0.01）. Lineage tracing showed that the proportion of keratin 8-positive green fluorescent protein-positive （Krt8⁺GFP⁺） cells increased in the model group， indicating differentiation arrest. This proportion was significantly reduced in the treatment group， and the morphology of GFP⁺ cells exhibited a flattened， extended shape， suggesting restored differentiation toward AT1 cells. ConclusionN2FBR alleviates ER stress in AT2 cells， reduces AT2 cell apoptosis， restores lamellar body structure and function， enhances proliferation activity， and alleviates differentiation arrest to promote differentiation into AT1 cells， thereby repairing the alveolar epithelium and effectively blocking the progression of pulmonary fibrosis. Its traditional Chinese medicine mechanism of "replenishing Zong Qi， harmonizing Qi and blood， and unblocking pulmonary meridians" closely aligns with the modern regulatory pathway of AT2 stem cells， providing a novel theoretical basis and experimental evidence for the intervention of IPF with traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective To apply an artificial intelligence (AI) -based pelvic floor optimization training system using human motion analysis technique in patients undergoing pelvic floor rehabilitation, so as to assist clinicians in providing guidance, improving clinical efficiency, and enhancing the efficacy of patients' independent training. Methods A total of 60 patients with overactive bladder (OAB) complicated with urgent urinary incontinence (UUI) treated in our hospital during Sep. 2024 and Dec. 2025 were enrolled and randomly divided into the routine guidance group (n=30) and AI guidance group (n=30). The routine guidance group received conventional pelvic floor optimization training under clinicians' instruction, while the AI guidance group underwent training with the AI-based pelvic floor optimization system using human motion analysis. After 6 weeks of intervention, outcomes were compared between the two groups, including the international consultation on incontinence questionnaire-short form (ICI-Q-SF), incontinence quality of life scale (I-QoL), overactive bladder symptom score (OABSS), patient's perception of bladder condition (PPBC) score, pelvic floor muscle function (myoelectric values in the preresting, post-resting, type Ⅰ muscle, type Ⅱ muscle, and endurance test phases), urine output, average flow rate (Qavg), and maximum flow rate (Qmax). Results After 6 weeks of treatment, the ICI-Q-SF, I-QoL, OABSS, PPBC score, type I muscle myoelectric value, Qavg and Qmax were significantly improved in both groups compared with baseline (P＜0.05). After 6 weeks of intervention, the I-QoL score was significantly higher in the AI guidance group than in the routine guidance group[81.82 (79.55, 84.38) vs.77.84 (75.00, 79.55) ], with significant difference (P＜0.05). Compared with the routine guidance group, the AI guidance group showed significant improvements in myoelectric values in the pre-resting, post-resting, type I muscle and endurance testing phases (P＜0.05). Conclusion The AI-based pelvic floor optimization training system can effectively assist clinicians in guiding patients to complete pelvic floor optimization training, improve rehabilitation efficiency and efficacy of independent exercise, and reduce dependence on specialized clinicians, which exhibits favorable safety.

Objective:To explore whether perioperative oral probiotic therapy reduces infectious complications following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), aiming to obtain higher-level evidence for clinical practice.Methods:A total of 81 participants undergoing PD at the Department of Pancreatic and Metabolic Surgery, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital & Affiliated Hospital of Medical School, Nanjing University, from May 2024 to December 2024 were enrolled in this single-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial. The participants were randomly divided into a probiotic treatment group and a control group (receiving conventional treatment without probiotics) using a random number method. The primary outcomes included the incidence of postoperative infectious complications and intra-abdominal infection, and the secondary outcomes were the recovery of gastrointestinal function, postoperative hospital stay, and duration and costs of antibiotic use. The hematological indicators including inflammation and immune markers on postoperative days (POD) 1, 3, 5, and 7 were also compared between these two groups.Results:Finally 72 cases (39 males and 33 females) were analyzed, with 36 patients in the probiotic treatment group and 36 patients in the control group. Compared to the control group, the probiotic treatment group showed statistically significant reductions in the incidence of infectious complications (33.3% vs. 66.7%, P=0.029), intra-abdominal infection (27.8% vs. 58.3%, P=0.030), and incidence of delayed gastric emptying (0 vs. 16.7%, P=0.033). Also, the probiotic treatment group exhibited significantly faster recovery in postoperative bowel movements and shorter time to defecation, liquid diet, and semi-liquid diet (all P<0.05). Additionally, the probiotic treatment group had significantly shorter hospital stay, reduced duration of antibiotic use, and lower antibiotic costs (all P<0.05). Finally, the probiotic treatment group had significantly higher lymphocyte counts on POD 1 ( P<0.05) and showed a significant downward trend in inflammatory markers such as interleukin-6 on PODs 3 and 5 and C-reactive protein on POD 7 (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Perioperative application of probiotic preparations in PD may reduce the incidence of postoperative infectious complications, especially intra-abdominal infection. Additionally, it can prevent delayed gastric emptying, promote the recovery of postoperative gastrointestinal function, shorten hospital stay, and reduce the use of antibiotics. These benefits may be related to the improvement of postoperative inflammatory status.

Objective:To explore the development process of family resilience in children with congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) and to understand the long-term challenges and coping strategies that CPT imposes on the families of affected children.Methods:This study combined purposive sampling and theoretical sampling. It selected 15 caregivers of CPT children from Hunan Children's Hospital for semi-structured interviews. Grounded theory was used to analyze the interview results.Results:The development of family resilience in CPT children's families occurred in three stages: pre-formation stage, formation stage, and maintenance stage. In facing negative emotions and family challenges, caregivers first needed to rebuild their inner beliefs. They then adjusted the family organizational model, adopted open and inclusive communication, and actively sought external support to foster the development of family resilience. Ultimately, caregivers were able to self-regulate their emotions, accumulate caregiving experience, and begin to shift their life perspective.Conclusions:The development of family resilience in CPT children's families is a dynamic, multi-stage process with interactions of multiple factors. Healthcare providers should offer professional health guidance according to the different stages of family development. Moreover, the government and schools should increase their attention and support, working together with families and healthcare providers to enhance family resilience for children with CPT.

Inflammatory bowel diseases(IBD)are a group of chronic non-specific intestinal inflammatory diseases,the etiology of which is not completely clear.Recent studies have found that the intestinal infection rate of Klebsiella pneumoniae in IBD patients is significantly higher than that in healthy people.Animal experiments have also shown that the intestinal colonization of Klebsiella pneu-moniae aggravates the development of IBD.With the continuous evolution of pathogens,Klebsiella pneumoniae with multi-drug resis-tant characteristics has been widely spread around the world,which makes it difficult to effectively eliminate colonized Klebsiella pneu-moniae by conventional antibiotic treatment,and may cause related disease risks.At present,the understanding of how Klebsiella pneumoniae affects the intestinal environment to promote or aggravate IBD is still very limited.It is of great significance to understand the mechanism of Klebsiella pneumoniae affecting the occurrence and development of IBD and to explore potential therapeutic targets.This review summarizes the association between Klebsiella pneumoniae and IBD and the possible mechanism of Klebsiella pneumoniae affecting the development of IBD,in order to provide clues for further research.

Objective To explore the role of postdoctoral talent cultivation in high-quality development of public hospi-tals.Methods The data of 165 postdoctoral fellows were analyzed from Zhongshan Ophthalmology Center,Sun Yat-sen Univer-sity over the past decade.The analysis involved examining the entire management process from recruitment to completion,inclu-ding the improvement of relevant systems,evaluation standards,implementation of hierarchical management,mentor-student in-teractions,and academic exchanges,as well as studying the quality enhancement of the postdoctoral talent pool,research output,and employment analysis.Results The standardized management of whole postdoctoral cultivation process and the continuous improvement of systems significantly enhanced the achievements of postdoctoral fellows in research,publications,and commer-cialization of the scientific and research findings.For instance,from 2018 to 2022,the number of National Science Foundation-funded programs that the postdoctoral fellows obtained accounted for 26.7％of the total number,while the number of provincial and ministerial funded programs accounted for 73.3％.In 2020,the proportion of postdoctoral researchers who obtained the Na-tional Natural Science Foundation of China's Youth Program was 80％of the total.In 2021,the proportion of postdoctoral fellows who published papers with an impact factor of above 10 as the first author or co-first author was 45.83％.Conclusion The training of high-level medical postdoctoral talents is crucial for high-quality development of public hospitals,improving interdisci-plinary adaptability of postdoctoral fellows and collaborative mentorship awareness.

Objective To compare the application value of coronary computed tomography angiography(CCTA)based plaque characteristics and computed tomography(CT)derived parameters in predicting future major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)between patients with and without diabetes mellitus.Methods A total of 425 patients who underwent CCTA in Shunde Hospital Affiliated to Southern Medical University from June 2016 to November 2016 were retrospectively analyzed.Patients were divided into DM group(n=120)and non-DM group(n=305)for follow-up.According to the occurrence of MACE during follow-up,patients were divided into DM group(n=81),DM+MACE group(n=39),non-DM group(n=39),non-DM group(n=244)and non-DM+MACE group(n=61).The differences in general characteristics,biochemical index and parameters in imaging were compared among the four groups.Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors for MACE in the two populations.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the difference in the predictive value of different plaque characteristics and CT-derived parameters for MACE.Results The levels of coronary artery calcification score(CACS),and the proportion of low-attenuation plaque(LAP)were higher in the DM+MACE group than in the DM group(P<0.05).The levels of positive reconstruction(PR),the proportion of antihypertensive drugs,CAD-RADS,CACS,residual cholesterol and apolipoprotein B were higher in the non-DM+MACE group than in the non-DM group(P<0.05).Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed that CACS≥100(HR 2.151,95%CI 1.128～4.102,P=0.020)and LAP(HR 2.337,95%CI 1.032～5.290,P=0.042)were the influencing factors for MACE in patients with DM.PR(HR 124.305,95%CI 42.883～360.326,P<0.001)was the influencing factor for MACE in patients without DM.ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC of CACS combined with LAP were 0.606,0.609 and 0.660 for predicting MACE in DM patients within 1,3 and 5 years respectively.The AUC of PR for predicting MACE were 0.862,0.927,and 0.806 in the non-DM population within 1,3,and 5 years respectively.The predictive value of CACS and LAP for MACE in the DM patients was stable during the 5 years,while the predictive value of PR for MACE in the non-DM population decreased significantly after 4 years.Conclusions The predictive values of different plaque characteristics and CT derived parameters for future MACE are different between population with and without diabetes.The combination of CACS and low-attenuation plaques can effectively evaluate the risk of MACE in diabetic patients,while PR has a higher predictive value for MACE in non-diabetic patients.

Objective To systematically review the incidence of antibiotic-associated diarrhea(AAD)in critically ill patients in China,and to provide evidence-based basis for the rational use of antibiotics.Methods PubMed,Embase,Web of Science,Cochrane Library,CNKI,WanFang Data,VIP and SionMed databases were electronically searched to collect studies on the incidence of AAD in acute and critically ill patients in China from inception to April 23,2024.Two reviewers independently screened literature,extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies.Meta-analysis was then performed using Stata 17.0 software.Results A total of 50 studies involving 26,512 subjects were included.Meta-analysis results showed that the incidence of AAD in critically ill patients in China was 26.5%[95%CI(22.9%,30.1%)].Subgroup analysis showed that the incidence of AAD in critically ill children in China was 40.6%[95%CI(30.7%,50.4%)],and in critically ill adults in China was 18.7%[95%CI(16.1%,21.4%)],among which the incidence of AAD in children in East China and adults in Southwest China was the lowest.The incidence of AAD in children and adults in Northeast China was the highest.Conclusion The incidence of AAD in critically ill patients in China is relatively high,and it is necessary to carry out effective intervention measures,such as rational selection and standardized use of antibiotics,early prevention and detection of AAD occurrence,to reduce the medical burden caused by AAD in critically ill patients and improve the quality of prognosis.

Objective To analyze the occurrence regularities and clinical characteristics of the adverse reactions induced by olaparib,and provide a reference for rational drug use in clinical practice.Methods The case reports and case analyses of the adverse reactions induced by olaparib were retrieved from databases of CNKI,Wanfang Data,VIP,PubMed,Web of Science,Embase,and conduct statistical analysis on the basic information of patients,the use of drugs,the induction time of adverse reactions,clinical manifestations,treatment,and outcomes.Results A total of 20 case reports of adverse reactions to olaparib were collected,involving 23 patients and 25 adverse reactions,including 6 males and 17 females.The majority of patients were over 50 years old(20 cases,86.96%),with an average age of(61.60±9.52)years.The main underlying disease was ovarian cancer(14 cases,60.87%).The occurrence time of adverse reactions is relatively evenly distributed in different periods,with a higher probability of occurring within 180 days(20 cases,80.00%).Adverse reactions mainly involved the blood system(28.00%),respiratory system(24.00%),and skin system(24.00%).Three patients recovered after discontinuing the medication,two patients recovered after reducing the dosage,and 11 patients recovered after discontinuing the medication and receiving symptomatic treatment.One patient died after discontinuing medication and receiving symptomatic treatment,while four patients died before discontinuing medication.Two patients did not mention any improvement.Conclusion Adverse reactions related to olaparib should be highly valued,and medication monitoring should be strengthened to reduce or stop administration promptly after adverse reactions occur,to reduce the risks of clinical medication.
