Based on the theoretical framework of "grease-turbidity-heat toxin", this paper elucidates the patholo-gical evolution pattern underlying the alternation between active and remission phases of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It is proposed that the active phase of IBD represents a progressive and explosive process characterized by internal accumulation of grease turbidity, constraint transforming into heat, and exuberant heat generating toxin. During the remission phase, the pathogenic process manifests as subsidence of heat toxin, depletion of qi and yin, latent retention of residual turbidity, and a state of coexistence between deficiency of healthy qi and lingering pathogenic factors. Accordingly, a staged therapeutic strategy with dynamic intervention and targeted modulation has been established. During the active phase, treatment follows the sequential principle of unblocking, clearing, and resolving pathogenic factors. In the early stage, the therapeutic approach focuses on regulating qi movement, fortifying the spleen, and resolving turbidity, using Tongxie Essential Formula (痛泻要方) and Shenling Baizhu Powder (参苓白术散) to regulate qi and fortify spleen. In the middle stage, the strategy emphasizes clearing heat, eliminating dampness, and dispersing pathogenic accumulation through downward and outward pathways, and Gegen Qinlian Decoction (葛根芩连汤) combined with Banxia Xiexin Decoction (半夏泻心汤) is used to clear and resolve damp-heat. In the late stage, treatment aims to resolve toxin, restrain sore, cool blood, and stabilize collaterals, using Baitouweng Decoction (白头翁汤), Shaoyao Decoction (芍药汤), and Xijiao Dihuang Decoction (犀角地黄汤) to eliminate toxins and cool blood. During the remission phase, the principle of reinforcing, consolidating, and penetrating is adopted to restore internal balance and clear the source, using Sishen Pills (四神丸) and Sijunzi Decoction (四君子汤) to reinforce healthy qi and venting pathogens.

Based on the theory of Zi Wu Liu Zhu (子午流注, the ebb and flow of midnight and midday) and the clinical characteristics of diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) that its symptoms mainly occur during chou (丑) period (01:00—03:00), mao (卯) period (5:00—7:00), and si (巳) period (9:00—11:00), this paper proposes a temporal pathogenesis chain of "liver constraint during chou period, intestinal stagnation during mao period, and spleen deficiency during si period". Within this chain, liver constraint serves as the initiating factor, and intestinal stagnation manifests as the branch, while spleen deficiency constitutes the root of the disease. Accordingly, a chronotherapeutic principle of "soothing the liver, regulating the intestines, and fortifying the spleen" is proposed, establishing a corresponding time-based syndrome differentiation and treatment system. During chou period, the treatment should focus on soothing the liver to relieve constraint and calming the mind to tranquilize the spirit, thereby blocking the mechanism of liver constraint overacting on the spleen. During mao period, the focus is regulating qi to resolve dampness and harmonizing the intestine to alleviate the branch symptoms of morning abdominal pain and diarrhea. During si period, the suggested method is fortifying the spleen and supplementing qi to drain dampness and stop diarrhea, thereby restoring the pivot of spleen-stomach transportation and transformation. These methods are complemented by strategies to optimize medication compliance, thereby providing a new chronotherapeutic approach for clinical diagnosis and treatment of IBS-D.

To summarize the clinical experience of Professor LIU Jinmin in treatment for epilepsy. It is believed that main pathogenesis of epilepsy is yangming failure to close and vital activity loss control, so a therapeutic approach focused on restoring the closure of yangming and regaining vital activity was proposed for the treatment of epilepsy. For excess syndrome, the treatment focuses on draining excess and descending qi, promoting purgation and restoring spirit. When yangming dryness-heat predominates, the approach involves unblock the bowels and regulating the spirit, descending qi and reducing fire, with modified Chengqi Decoction (承气汤) as prescription; when yangming phlegm-fire predominates, the treatment focuses on clearing heat and resolving phlegm, calming mind and suppressing fright, with modified Qingxin Wendan Decoction (清心温胆汤) as prescription; when yangming blood stasis predominates, the approach involves breaking up blood stasis and promoting purgation, eliminating stasis and awakening the mind, with Taoren Chengqi Decoction (桃核承气汤) as prescription. For deficiency syndrome, the treatment emphasizes tonifying deficiency and raising qi, strengthening the stomach and nourishing the spirit. When center qi deficiency and sinking of clear qi of the nutrients from food, the approach involves replenishing and uplifting qi while nourishing vital activity, with modified Liujunzi Decoction (六君子汤) as prescription; when yin deficiency and fluid consumption, the treatment focuses on nourishing stomach and tonifying yin, promoting fluid production and calming the spirit, with modified Maimendong Decoction (麦门冬汤) combined with Yiwei Decoction (益胃汤) as prescriptions. In clinical situations of deficiency-excess complex, it is essential to distinguish the primary condition from the secondary, applying both supplementing and draining methods flexibly to achieve optimal treatment.

Objective:To study the risk factors and the molecular epidemiology characteristics for Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae(CRE) colonization in neonatal inpatients in Shenzhen region, China, which provide reference for the prevention and control of clinical CRE infection.Methods:This study is a prospective case-control study.Anal samples from inpatients between January 2023 and December 2023 at Longgang Maternity and Child Institute of Shantou University Medical College and Shenzhen Children's Hospital were collected for screening CRE strain. Drug susceptibility test, modified Carbapenem Inactivation Method (mCIM) test, drug resistance-related gene sequencing and multilocus sequence typing (MLST) were performed for isolated CRE strains.Meanwhile, the clinical data were collected for analyzing the risk factors of CRE intestinal colonization by multivariate regression analysis.Results:A total of 1 517 patients were screened, 26 CRE(1.7%, 26/1 517) were identified which including 14 Escherichia coli(53.8%, 14/26), 11 Klebsiella pneumoniae(42.3%, 11/26), 1 Enterobacter cloacae(3.9%, 1/26). The predominant carbapenemase gene was New Delhi Metallo(NDM) (92.4%, 24/26), followed by Imipenem (IMP) (3.8%, 1/26) and Guiana extended spectrum gene (GES) (3.8%, 1/26).Among the carried NDM resistance genes, New Delhi Metallo 5 (NDM5) was the main one, accounting for 84.6% (22/26).The MLST typing of Escherichia coli was mainly Sequence Type 48 (ST48) (6/14), while that of Klebsiella pneumoniae was mainly Sequence Type 35 (ST35) (10/11). All CRE isolates were resistant to penicillin, penicillinase inhibitors, cephalosporins, ertapenem and imipenem.The resistance rates of Escherichia coli to amikacin, levofloxacin was 1/14, 4/14, respectively. All isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae were sensitive to amikacin, and the resistance rate to levofloxacin is 1/11. Risk factors for CRE colonization include the older age, length of hospital stay, tracheal intubation, invasive respiration, lumbar puncture, Apgar <7 score, and exposure to antibiotics.Conclusions:NDM5 is the predominant resistant gene in CRE isolated from neonatal patients feces in Shenzhen region.It is necessary to strengthen the screening of CRE colonization in neonate for prevention and control of CRE infection.

Objective:To design and develop a battlefield first-aid simulated training system, to evaluate the application effect of the system through a quasi-experimental controlled trial, and to provide training means to support the enhancement of Chinese army's first-line treatment capability.Methods:A battlefield first-aid simulated training system was designed and developed with the guidance of the theory of "experiential learning cycle". From March to June 2023, 108 health sergeants who participated in non-academic education training from a military medical university were recruited to a quasi-experimental controlled trial and randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group, with 54 sergeants each. The control group was trained using traditional face-to-face simulation training, and the experimental group was trained using the Battlefield First-aid Simulated Training System. The differences in effects of computer simulation training and traditional face-to-face simulation training were compared, with the primary evaluation indices being the first-aid knowledge level and inferential capability of rescue on the battlefield, and the secondary evaluation indices being the self-perception and training satisfaction. The SPSS 26.0 software was used for conducting the t test, chi-square test or Fisher's exact probability test, and non-parametric test. Results:All 108 subjects completed the training and had an improvement in the knowledge level, self-perception, and inferential capability of rescue after the training ( P<0.001). The difference in the degree of improvement in the knowledge level [(19.93±8.98) vs. (16.55±10.10)] and self-perception [10.50 (7.00, 13.25) vs. 10.00 (7.00, 12.50)] was not statistically significant between the experimental group and the control group ( P>0.05), but the degree of improvement in the inferential capability of rescue of the experimental group [6.00 (5.00, 9.25)] was significantly lower than that of the control group [8.00 (7.00, 11.00)] ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the training satisfaction scores between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The system has a similar training effect to traditional face-to-face simulation training, but shows a slight deficiency in the improvement in the inferential capability of rescue. It serves as a recommended training resource and format from battlefield first-aid theory learning to practical application. The system still needs to be optimized and improved in the aspects of functionality, simulation, and intellectualization in the future.

Objective To propose an innovative self-supervised learning method for vascular segmentation in computed tomography angiography (CTA) images by integrating feature reconstruction with masked autoencoding. Methods A 3D masked autoencoder-based framework was developed, where in 3D histogram of oriented gradients (HOG) was utilized for multi-scale vascular feature extraction. During pre-training, random masking was applied to local patches of CTA images, and the model was trained to jointly reconstruct original voxels and HOG features of masked regions. The pre-trained model was further fine-tuned on two annotated datasets for clinical-level vessel segmentation. Results Evaluated on two independent datasets (30 labeled CTA images each), our method achieved superior segmentation accuracy to the supervised neural network U-Net (nnU-Net) baseline, with Dice similarity coefficients of 91.2% vs. 89.7% (aorta) and 84.8% vs. 83.2% (coronary arteries). Conclusion The proposed self-supervised model significantly reduces manual annotation costs without compromising segmentation precision, showing substantial potential for enhancing clinical workflows in vascular disease management.
