Based on spleen deficiency-phlegm dampness as the core pathogenesis of obesity， and integrating recent advances in modern medicine regarding the key role of immune inflammation in obesity， this paper proposes a multidimensional pathogenic network of "obesity-spleen deficiency-phlegm dampness-immune imbalance". Various traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） herbs that strengthen the spleen， regulate qi， and resolve phlegm and dampness can treat obesity by improving spleen-stomach transport and transformation， promoting water-damp metabolism， and regulating immune homeostasis. This highlights immune inflammation as an important entry point to elucidate the TCM concepts of "spleen deficiency-phlegm dampness" and the therapeutic principle of "strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness to treat obesity". By systematically analyzing the intrinsic connection between "spleen deficiency generating dampness， internal accumulation of phlegm dampness" and immune dysregulation in obesity， this paper aims to provide theoretical support for TCM treatment of obesity based on dampness.

Pediatric acute liver failure (PALF) is a rare and critical clinical syndrome with a poor prognosis. Its etiology is complex, with a significant proportion of cases having remained classified as indeterminate or cryptogenic PALF. With the application of high-throughput sequencing technologies, a spectrum of disorders caused by specific genetic metabolic defects and characterized by stress-sensitive Recurrent acute liver failure (RALF) has been gradually unveiled, collectively termed Infantile liver failure syndrome (ILFS). Although the molecular mechanisms underlying the subtypes ILFS1, ILFS2, and ILFS3 differ by involving aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase defects, vesicular transport disorders, and autophagy abnormalities, respectively, they share a common clinical phenotype of RALF triggered by fever or infection. This article has systematically reviewed the clinical phenotypic spectrum, molecular genetic characteristics, differential diagnosis strategies, and therapeutic advances of the three ILFS subtypes, with the goal of improving early clinical recognition and precise intervention, and providing an important reference for evaluating the prognosis of different subtypes.

Objective: To evaluate the methodological quality and reporting quality of clinical practice guidelines or expert consensus on blood transfusion and blood use (BTBU) in China (hereinafter referred to as "guidelines/consensus"), providing reference for the development and updating of future BTBU guidelines/consensus. Methods: A systematic search was conducted in Chinese databases such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data, VIP Data-base, relevant guideline release platforms, and professional association websites. BTBU-related guidelines/consensus published between January 2006 and December 2025 were included. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, after completing literature screening and data extraction, three evaluators independently assessed the quality of the included literature using the Scientificity, Transparency, and Applicability of Guidelines Rating Tool (STAR), the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation Ⅱ (AGREE Ⅱ), and the International Practice Guideline Reporting Standards (RIGHT). Results: A total of 29 documents were included, including 5 guidelines, 22 consensus statements, and 2 protocols. The results of the STAR assessment showed that the total score was (21.7±8.8)%. The domain score ratios for registration, research protocol, funding, working group, conflict of interest, clinical question, evidence, consensus method, recommendation, accessibility and other domains were (2.2±12.1)%, 0, (36.7±25.1)%, (18.3±7.6)%, (19.2±15.3)%, (16.6±23.1)%, (15.1±6.3)%, (9.6±21.2)%, (54.3±18.4)%, (31.7±10.4)% and (10.3±31.0)%, respectively. For the AGREE Ⅱ assessment, the methodological quality of 26 articles was rated Grade B and 3 articles Grade C. The results of the RIGHT assessment indicated that the overall reporting rate of all guidelines/consensuses was (65.3±4.0)%. Conclusion: The methodological and reporting quality of current expert guidelines/consensus on BTBU in China still need improvement, and guidelines and consensus should be strictly formulated and standardized according to the standards of STAR, AGREE II and RIGHT.

BACKGROUND:Repetitive trans-spinal magnetic stimulation(rTSMS)can inhibit inflammatory responses following spinal cord injury.rTSMS applies magnetic field stimulation to the spinal cord region to modulate neuronal excitability and synaptic transmission,thereby promoting plasticity and repair of the nervous system. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of rTSMS on the Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)/nuclear factor(NF)-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway after spinal cord injury and explore its mechanism in promoting motor function recovery. METHODS:Male C57BL/6J mice,SPF grade,were randomly divided into sham surgery group,spinal cord injury group,and rTSMS group.The latter two groups of mice were anesthetized and the T9 vertebral plate was removed using rongeur forceps to expose the spinal cord,and the spinal cord was clamped using a small aneurysm clip for 20 seconds to establish the spinal cord injury model.Mice in the rTSMS group underwent a 21-day rTSMS intervention starting on day 1 after spinal cord injury.The stimulation lasted 10 minutes per day,5 days per week with an interval of 2 days.Basso Mouse Scale scores were used to assess motor function recovery in mice after spinal cord injury at 1,3,7,14,and 21 days after spinal cord injury.Western blot was employed to detect the expression of AQP4,apoptotic factors Bax,Bcl-2,CL-Caspase-3,inflammatory factors tumor necrosis factor-α,interferon-γ,interleukin-6,interleukin-4,and the TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway related proteins in the injured spinal cord.Oxidative stress assay kit was used to measure the activity of superoxide dismutase,glutathione peroxidase,and malondialdehyde content at the site of spinal cord injury.Immunofluorescence staining was performed to detect the expression of neuronal nuclei(NeuN). RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The Basso Mouse Scale score in the rTSMS group was significantly higher than that in the spinal cord injury group(P<0.05).Compared with the spinal cord injury group,the rTSMS group showed a reduction in spinal cord water content.The expression of AQP4 protein,malondialdehyde content,and expression of Bax,Bcl-2,CL-Caspase-3,tumor necrosis factor-α,interferon-γ,interleukin-6,and TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway related proteins were all decreased in the rTSMS group,while the activities of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase,as well as the expression of Bcl-2,interleukin-4,and NeuN,were all increased(P<0.05).These results suggest that rTSMS downregulates the expression of proteins related to the TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway,alleviating symptoms after spinal cord injury such as spinal cord edema,oxidative stress,apoptosis,and inflammation,exerting neuroprotective effects,and thereby promoting the recovery of hindlimb motor function after spinal cord injury.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is characterized by recurrent episodes of intrusive thinking and/or behavior, persistent and variable symptoms, and chronic recurrence. It is clearly recommended in the OCD treatment guidelines that psychotherapy can effectively improve clinical symptoms and play an important role in maintaining long-term efficacy. However, previous research and clinical practice paid little attention to the application of psychological interventions in OCD.Currently, there is insufficient understanding of psychotherapy for OCD, especially the proven first-line exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP), cognitive-behavioral therapy, and Morita therapy.Due to limited resources, they have not received effective intervention. Therefore, this article reviews the relevant research on psychological therapy intervention for OCD in recent years, summarizes the intervention effects of different psychological therapy methods on OCD and further elaborates on possible therapeutic mechanisms.Based on this, combined with the existing research, this article clarifies the effect of various behavioral psychological interventions and their combined treatment, and explores group and online forms of psychological intervention in order to increase the accessibility of psychotherapy for OCD patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs)on the proliferation and stem-ness of human dental pulp stem cells(hDPSCs)silencing with integrin α6(ITGA6).Methods ITGA6 silencing lentivirus was used to interfere the ITGA6 expression of hDPSCs,and its silencing efficiency was detected.Then HUVECs were added to the chambers to co-culture,and the experiments were divided into four groups(sh-NC,sh-ITGA6,sh-NC+HUVECs and sh-ITGA6+HUVECs).hDP-SCs in the sh-NC and sh-ITGA6 groups were transfected with sh-NC and sh-ITGA6 respectively.hDPSCs transfected with sh-NC and sh-ITGA6 were co-cultured with HUVECs in the sh-NC+HUVECs group and sh-ITGA6+HUVECs group respectively.The proliferation capacity of hDPSCs of each group was examined by CCK-8 and EdU on day 7.Immunofluorescence detected the expression of Stro-1,and Real-time PCR was used to detect the expression of Oct4 and Nanog.Results ①Fluorescence microscopy showed that the trans-fection efficiency was about 80％.Real-time PCR and Western blot results showed that sh-ITGA6 lentivirus effectively interfered with ITGA6 expression in hDPSCs.②CCK-8 results showed that on day 5 of co-culture,the proliferation ability of the sh-ITGA6+HUVECs group was superior to that of the sh-ITGA6 group(P＜0.05);on day 7,the proliferation ability of the sh-NC+HUVECs and sh-ITGA6+HUVECs group was superior to that of the sh-NC and sh-ITGA6 group(P＜0.05).EdU results showed that the DNA synthesis ability of hDPSCs in the co-culture group was significantly stronger than that in the single-culture group(P＜0.05).③Immunofluorescence stai-ning revealed that the expression of Stro-1 in the co-culture group was significantly stronger than that in the single-culture group.④Re-al-time PCR results showed that the expression of Oct4 in the co-culture group was higher than that in the single-culture group(P＜0.05);the expression of Nanog in hDPSCs with sh-ITGA6 was elevated by the addition of HUVECs co-culture(P＜0.05).Conclusion HUVECs significantly enhance the proliferation and stemness of hDPSCs silencing integrin α6.

Objective To explore the optimal grouping scheme of diagnosis related groups (DRG) for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome(AIDS) patients and develop cost criteria to provide a reference for implementing DRG payment reform in this region. Methods Information on the first pages of 1987 cases of AIDS patients from Nantong AIDS designated hospitals between 2018 and 2022 was collected, the influencing factors of hospitalization costs were analyzed by applying univariate and multiple linear regression and screening out the classification nodes, and the DRG grouping scheme was constructed by using a decision tree model. Results Complications or comorbidities, number of other diagnoses, and case type were used as classification nodes to form a total of 6 case combinations and corresponding hospitalization cost criteria. The difference in hospitalization cost between groups was statistically significant (P<0. 001), the reduction in variation(RIV) value was 51. 0％, and the coefficient of variation(CV) value of each group was less than 1 (0. 33～0. 63), with good inter-group heterogeneity and intra-group homogeneity. Conclusion The grouping scheme constructed based on the decision tree model is more reasonable, and the standard cost can objectively reflect the actual level of medical consumption of patients, providing a reference for improving DRG grouping and cost payment for AIDS patients in the region.

Objective:To systematically review and evaluate prediction models for aspiration risk in enteral nutrition patients, providing a reference for the development and application of future models.Methods:Literature related to prediction models for aspiration risk in enteral nutrition patients was searched in China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, China Biology Medicine disc, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, and PubMed, with the search period covering from the inception of the databases to August 30, 2024. Two researchers independently conducted literature screening and data extraction, and the PROBAST tool was used to assess the risk of bias and applicability of the included studies.Results:A total of 18 studies were included, involving 24 prediction models, with sample sizes ranging from 103 to 512 and an event rate of 9.46% to 49.87%. The top six predictive variables reported most frequently were baseline age, history of aspiration, length of nasogastric tube insertion, nutritional risk, impaired consciousness, and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation-Ⅱscore. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the models ranged from 0.756 to 0.992. Twelve studies reported model calibration, six studies conducted internal validation only, one study conducted external validation only, and four studies performed both internal and external validation. The overall applicability of the 18 studies was good, but the risk of bias was high, mainly due to improper handling of continuous variables and missing data.Conclusions:The aspiration risk prediction models developed in various studies for enteral nutrition patients show good applicability but carry a high risk of bias. Future efforts should focus on further optimizing the model construction process, internal and external validation, and result analysis to provide more reliable and scientific tools for clinical aspiration risk assessment.

Objective:To understand the distribution of pediatric medical resources and development status within the healthcare institutions of the pediatric alliance in Jilin Province，and to propose practical strategies for promoting high-quality development in pediatric specialties in the region.Methods:The study utilized the Wenjuanxing (a web-based survey platform) to distribute electronic questionnaires to pediatric department heads from 93 alliance-affiliated healthcare institutions. The survey collected data on human resources，outpatient/emergency services，intensive care unit (ICU) capacity，hospital facilities and equipment，and technological capabilities across these institutions from January to December 2023.Results:Among the 93 medical institutions，22 (23.66%) were classified as Grade Ⅲ-A hospitals，53（56.99%）had independent pediatric departments and emergency departments，and 26（27.96%）did not have independent pediatric wards.There were 1 327 pediatricians，including 537 with intermediate professional title（40.47%）and 668 with undergraduate degree（50.34%）.Facilities，equipment，and pediatric technical capabilities varied markedly among institutions in Jilin Province.Conclusion:The professional development of pediatrics in various medical institutions in Jilin Province is uneven，the ability gap is large，and the sources of high-quality medical funding are relatively concentrated.The high-quality development of pediatrics in Jilin Province is still facing great challenges.

Objective:To explore the core factors of self-management and quality of life (QOL) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and the internal relationship between these two constructs.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to enroll 210 COPD patients who visited the Fifth Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University from January to December 2022. Data were collected using Self-Management Scale and 36-item Short-Form. A relationship network between self-management and QOL was constructed via network analysis, and centrality indicators and network stability were calculated.Results:A total of 210 questionnaires were distributed, and 205 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 97.6%. Emotional management was identified as the core node in both the overall network and the self-management subnetwork (2.064), while vitality was the core node in the QOL subnetwork (0.730). The relationship between self-management and QOL was mainly manifested through the strong association between emotional management and role-emotion.Conclusions:Emotional management is the core factor in the relationship between self-management and QOL in COPD patients. The overall network of self-management and QOL is influenced by the strong association between emotional management and role-emotion.
