Chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP) is a common long-term complication following lung surgery. Its high incidence significantly impacts patients’ quality of life and functional recovery, and imposes a substantial socioeconomic burden. This consensus aims to systematically establish a standardized integrated Chinese and Western medicine diagnostic and treatment framework for chronic post-lung surgery pain (CPLSP). Based on the latest domestic and international evidence-based medical research and multidisciplinary clinical experience, the working group comprehensively elaborates on core issues regarding CPLSP, including its definition, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical assessment, Western medical treatment, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment, and integrated strategies. The consensus emphasizes a patient-centered approach, adhering to the principles of multimodality, individualization, and stepwise management, highlighting the synergistic advantages of integrating Chinese and Western medicine throughout the entire perioperative management cycle encompassing "perioperative anti-inflammation, acute analgesia, and chronic rehabilitation." Through systematic literature retrieval and evidence integration, a total of 9 core recommendations were established to provide scientifically sound and clinically practical guidance.

This paper summarizes Professor LI Diangui's experience in treating vitiligo from the perspective of turbid toxins latent in the collaterals. Based on the theory of turbid-toxin, professor LI proposes that turbid toxins latent in the collaterals and qi-blood disharmony constitute the core pathogenesis of the onset and progression of the disease, and that resolving turbidity and removing toxins while harmonizing qi and blood should serve as the fundamental therapeutic principles. In clinical practice, treatment is tailored according to the evolution of the pathogenesis and syndrome differentiation. When stagnation of qi movement leads to the endogenous accumulation of turbid pathogens, treatment focuses on relieving constraint, dispersing turbidity, soothing the liver, and regulating qi, with a modified self-formulated Kaiyu Sanzhuo Decoction (开郁散浊汤). When turbid pathogens overflow to the superficial tissues and obstruct the cutaneous collaterals, treatment aims to resolve blood stasis, disperse turbidity, regulate qi, and unblock the collaterals, using a modified self-formulated Tongluo Huazhuo Decoction (通络化浊汤). When deficiency of healthy qi allows toxins to remain latent and the disease becomes prolonged, treatment emphasizes reinforcing healthy qi, eliminating turbidity, tonifying qi, and nourishing blood, with a modified self-formulated Fuzheng Quzhuo Decoction (扶正祛浊汤).

PURPOSE:
To investigate the protective effect of sub-hypothermic mechanical perfusion combined with membrane lung oxygenation on ischemic hypoxic injury of yorkshire brain tissue caused by traumatic blood loss.
METHODS:
This article performed a random controlled trial. Brain tissue of 7 yorkshire was selected and divided into the sub-low temperature anterograde machine perfusion group (n = 4) and the blank control group (n = 3) using the random number table method. A yorkshire model of brain tissue injury induced by traumatic blood loss was established. Firstly, the perfusion temperature and blood oxygen saturation were monitored in real-time during the perfusion process. The number of red blood cells, hemoglobin content, NA+, K+, and Ca2+ ions concentrations and pH of the perfusate were detected. Following perfusion, we specifically examined the parietal lobe to assess its water content. The prefrontal cortex and hippocampus were then dissected for histological evaluation, allowing us to investigate potential regional differences in tissue injury. The blank control group was sampled directly before perfusion. All statistical analyses and graphs were performed using GraphPad Prism 8.0 Student t-test. All tests were two-sided, and p value of less than 0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance.
RESULTS:
The contents of red blood cells and hemoglobin during perfusion were maintained at normal levels but more red blood cells were destroyed 3 h after the perfusion. The blood oxygen saturation of the perfusion group was maintained at 95% - 98%. NA+ and K+ concentrations were normal most of the time during perfusion but increased significantly at about 4 h. The Ca2+ concentration remained within the normal range at each period. Glucose levels were slightly higher than the baseline level. The pH of the perfusion solution was slightly lower at the beginning of perfusion, and then gradually increased to the normal level. The water content of brain tissue in the sub-low and docile perfusion group was 78.95% ± 0.39%, which was significantly higher than that in the control group (75.27% ± 0.55%, t = 10.49, p < 0.001), and the difference was statistically significant. Compared with the blank control group, the structure and morphology of pyramidal neurons in the prefrontal cortex and CA1 region of the hippocampal gyrus were similar, and their integrity was better. The structural integrity of granulosa neurons was destroyed and cell edema increased in the perfusion group compared with the blank control group. Immunofluorescence staining for glail fibrillary acidic protein and Iba1, markers of glial cells, revealed well-preserved cell structures in the perfusion group. While there were indications of abnormal cellular activity, the analysis showed no significant difference in axon thickness or integrity compared to the 1-h blank control group.
CONCLUSIONS
Mild hypothermic machine perfusion can improve ischemia and hypoxia injury of yorkshire brain tissue caused by traumatic blood loss and delay the necrosis and apoptosis of yorkshire brain tissue by continuous oxygen supply, maintaining ion homeostasis and reducing tissue metabolism level.

Spine fracture and dislocation are common traumatic spinal conditions that often require surgical intervention due to compromised spinal stability. Surgical approaches include anterior, posterior, and combined anterior-posterior spinal procedures. According to the specific surgical requirements, patients may be placed in the prone position or repositioned between prone and supine positions during surgery. Intraoperative repositioning has become an essential step in patient positioning. However, during repositioning, patients with spinal fracture and dislocation are at increased risk for complications such as hemodynamic instability, nerve injury, and pressure injuries to the skin and soft tissue. Notably, due to the instability of the spinal cord, even minor manipulations can further exacerbate the damage, potentially leading to severe outcomes like paraplegia. Although the current clinical guidelines provide instructive recommendations for standard position, there remains no specific protocols for intraoperative repositioning in patients with spine fracture and dislocation. With a concern for the lack of clinical studies on positioning techniques, risk prevention, and operational norms for special patients, no applicable guidelines or standards are available. A consensus was required to provide clinical reference, meet the requirements of surgical treatment, and minimize the safety risks of patients caused by improper placement of positions. Professional Committee of Operating Room Nursing of Shaanxi Nursing Association organized experts in nursing management and operating room nursing from major hospitals across China to formulate Expert consensus on intraoperative repositioning for patients with spinal fracture and dislocation ( version 2025). The consensus provides 11 recommendations covering pre-repositioning preparation, intraoperative maneuvers, and post-repositioning observation, aiming to provide references for clinical standardization of the intraoperative repositioning process and protection of patients′ safety.

Objective:To analyze the distribution of allergen components of dust mite in children with airway allergic diseases.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. The clinical data of children with dust mite-induced allergic asthma (AA) complicated with allergic rhinitis (AR) or allergic rhinitis who were treated in Department of Allergy,Beijing Children′s Hospital from January 2019 to October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The spedific IgE (sIgE) levels to Der p1,Der p2,Der p5,Der p7,Der p10,Der p21,Der p23 and Der f1,Der f2 were detected by protein chip method. The distribution of dust mite sensitized components and the sIgE levels in children with different airway allergic diseases and different ages were compared.Results:Among 138 children with airway allergic diseases,there were 97 boys and 41 girls,age (6.86±2.61) years old,and there were 106 cases of AA combined AR (AAAR group) and 32 cases of AR alone (AR group). The sensitization rates of Der p2 was the highest (75.4%,104/138),followed by Der f2 (74.6%,103/138),Der f1 (73.9%,102/138),Der p1 (71.7%,99/138),Der p21 (19.6%,27/138),Der p5 (16.7%,23/138),Der p23 (14.5%,20/138),Der p7 (11.6%,16/138) and Der p10 (2.9%,4/138). The co-sensitization rate of Der p1,Der p2,Der f1 and Der f2 was the highest (31.2%,43/138). There was no significant difference in sensitization rate of dust mites components between AAAR group and AR group(all P>0.05). AAAR group had higher levels of sIgE to Der p23 than AR group [0.1 (0,0.1) IU/ml vs. 0 (0,0.1) IU/ml,Z=-2.819, P=0.005]. There were no significant differences in the positive rate of dust mite components and sIgE levels between children aged≤6 and>6 years old with airway allergic diseases(all P>0.05). Conclusions:Der p1,Der p2,Der f1 and Der f2 are the major components of dust mites sensitizing airway allergic diseases in children. Der p1,Der p2,Der f1 and Der f2 are the main co-sensitizing components in children with dust mite-induced airway allergic diseases. Compared with AR,the sIgE level to Der p23 in children with AAAR is higher.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Alopecia areata (AA) is a common hair loss disorder, and the core pathogenesis is the internal gene-ration of turbid toxin caused by qi movement disorder in the liver, spleen, and kidney. Turbid toxin serves as both a pivotal etiological trigger and a pathological driver of disease exacerbation. Clinically, AA can be classified into four principal patterns, including liver constraint with spleen deficiency, internal accumulation of damp-heat, liver-kidney depletion, and qi-blood depletion. Therapeutic strategies prioritize clearing and resolving turbid toxin while regulating the qi movement of the liver, spleen, and kidney. Accordingly, different formulas were applied. Self-formulated Shugan Jianpi Huazhuo Formula (疏肝健脾化浊方) is suggested to drain dampness, resolve turbidity, and unblock qi movement. Self-formulated Sanjiao Fenxiao Jiedu Formula (三焦分消解毒方) can be used to clear heat, drain dampness and resolve toxin. Self-formulated Zishen Yanggan Toudu Decoction (滋肾养肝透毒汤) can clear and vent latent toxins, while Self-formulated Guiqi Shengfa Didu Formula (归芪生发涤毒方) is employed to tonify qi and blood, purge toxins, and regenerate vitality. By differentiating and treating AA based on the functional patterns of the liver, spleen, and kidney, this approach expands the application scope of the turbid toxin theory and provides valuable insights for treatment of AA.

OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the dynamic changes of glucocorticoid (GC) dose and the feasibility of GC discontinuation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients under the background of Chinese medicine (CM).
METHODS:
This multicenter retrospective cohort study included 1,196 RA patients enrolled in the China Rheumatoid Arthritis Registry of Patients with Chinese Medicine (CERTAIN) from September 1, 2019 to December 4, 2023, who initiated GC therapy. Participants were divided into the Western medicine (WM) and integrative medicine (IM, combination of CM and WM) groups based on medication regimen. Follow-up was performed at least every 3 months to assess dynamic changes in GC dose. Changes in GC dose were analyzed by generalized estimator equation, the probability of GC discontinuation was assessed using Kaplan-Meier curve, and predictors of GC discontinuation were analyzed by Cox regression. Patients with <12 months of follow-up were excluded for the sensitivity analysis.
RESULTS:
Among 1,196 patients (85.4% female; median age 56.4 years), 880 (73.6%) received IM. Over a median 12-month follow-up, 34.3% (410 cases) discontinued GC, with significantly higher rates in the IM group (40.8% vs. 16.1% in WM; P<0.05). GC dose declined progressively, with IM patients demonstrating faster reductions (median 3.75 mg vs. 5.00 mg in WM at 12 months; P<0.05). Multivariate Cox analysis identified age <60 years [P<0.001, hazard ratios (HR)=2.142, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.523-3.012], IM therapy (P=0.001, HR=2.175, 95% CI: 1.369-3.456), baseline GC dose ⩽7.5 mg (P=0.003, HR=1.637, 95% CI: 1.177-2.275), and absence of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs use (P=0.001, HR=2.546, 95% CI: 1.432-4.527) as significant predictors of GC discontinuation. Sensitivity analysis (545 cases) confirmed these findings.
CONCLUSIONS
RA patients receiving CM face difficulties in following guideline-recommended GC discontinuation protocols. IM can promote GC discontinuation and is a promising strategy to reduce GC dependency in RA management. (Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov, No. NCT05219214).
