OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the quality of the Heat-clearing and symptom-relieving formula and screen potential marker components that influence the quality of the formula. METHODS The contents of 11 components （calycosin-7- O - β -D-glucoside， ononin， hyperoside， isoquercitrin， baicalin， baicalein， cryptotanshinone， tanshinone Ⅱ A ， tanshinone Ⅰ， senkyunolide A， ferulic acid） in the Heat-clearing and symptom-relieving formula were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry （HPLC-MS/MS）. Using the contents of the aforementioned components as variables， cluster analysis （CA）， principal component analysis （PCA）， and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis （OPLS-DA） were conducted using OriginPro 2024 software and SIMCA 14.1 software； marker components affecting the quality of the Heat-clearing and symptom-relieving formula were then screened based on the criteria of variable importance in the projection （VIP） value＞1 and P ＜0.05. The comprehensive evaluation of 20 batches of samples was carried out using the entropy weight-technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution（TOPSIS） and grey correlation analysis （GCA） methods. RESULTS The contents of the above 11 components were 7.993-72.866， 4.542-31.228， 727.666-1 901.884， 496.846-1 293.279， 1 995.501-6 779.150， 54.500-241.280， 150.302-304.339， 79.698-189.206， 257.118-682.418， 5.498-21.687， 7.524-26.935 μg/g. CA， PCA and OPLS-DA results showed that 20 batches of samples were grouped into 2 categories. Q1， Q3， Q4， Q7-Q9， Q12， Q15， Q16 were grouped into one category， and the rest were grouped into another category； VIP values of ferulic acid， tanshinone Ⅱ A ， baicalin， cryptotanshinone， calycosin-7- O - β -D-glucoside and ononin were all greater than 1 （ P ＜0.05）. Both the entropy weight-TOPSIS and GCA methods showed that the samples ranked in the top 11 according to the euclidean distance and relative correlation degree were Q2， Q5， Q6， Q10， Q11， Q13， Q14， Q17-Q20. CONCLUSIONS The established HPLC-MS/MS method is rapid， accurate and highly sens itive. Combined with chemical pattern recognition analysis， entropy weight-TOPSIS and GCA methods， this method can be used to evaluate the quality of the Heat-clearing and symptom-relieving formula. Ferulic acid， tanshinone Ⅱ A ， baicalin， cryptotanshinone， calycosin-7- O - β -D-glucoside and ononin may be the marker components that affect the quality of this formula. The overall quality of 11 batches of the Heat-clearing and symptom-relieving formula， including Q17， is relatively superior.

ObjectiveTo analyze the research status, hotspots and development trends in the application of virtual reality (VR) technology in managing negative emotions and postoperative rehabilitation of perioperative patients over the past decade. MethodsLiteratures related to the application of VR technology in managing negative emotions and postoperative rehabilitation of perioperative patients were retrieved from Web of Science Core Collection database and CNKI, covering the period from January, 2015 to August, 2025, and CiteSpace 6.3.R1 was used for bibliometric analysis. ResultsA total of 267 English literatures and 130 Chinese literatures were included, with the annual number of publications showing an upward trend. The United States was the country with the largest number of publications in English literatures, and Erasmus University Rotterdam was the institution with the largest number of publications. High-frequency keywords included virtual reality, pain, surgery, anxiety and distraction. Research hotspots mainly focused on functional exercise, negative emotions, pain management and multimodal intervention strategies. English researches were deepening towards virtual reality exposure therapy, mechanism exploration and personalized schemes, while Chinese researches focused more on the verification of rehabilitation effects. ConclusionResearches on the application of VR technology in the management of perioperative patients are rapidly developing, with research hotspots shifting from single technology application to multimodal and personalized integrated intervention. Future research should focus on exploring its intervention mechanisms, personalized schemes and the breadth of cross-departmental applications.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a common head and neck malignancy. Approximately 50% to 60% of patients with OSCC are diagnosed at a locally advanced stage (clinical staging III-IVa). Even with comprehensive and sequential treatment primarily based on surgery, the 5-year overall survival rate remains below 50%, and patients often suffer from postoperative functional impairments such as difficulties with speaking and swallowing. Programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) inhibitors are increasingly used in the neoadjuvant treatment of locally advanced OSCC and have shown encouraging efficacy. However, clinical practice still faces key challenges, including the definition of indications, optimization of combination regimens, and standards for efficacy evaluation. Based on the latest research advances worldwide and the clinical experience of the expert group, this expert consensus systematically evaluates the application of PD-1 inhibitors in the neoadjuvant treatment of locally advanced OSCC, covering combination strategies, treatment cycles and surgical timing, efficacy assessment, use of biomarkers, management of special populations and immune related adverse events, principles for immunotherapy rechallenge, and function preservation strategies. After multiple rounds of panel discussion and through anonymous voting using the Delphi method, the following consensus statements have been formulated: 1) Neoadjuvant therapy with PD-1 inhibitors can be used preoperatively in patients with locally advanced OSCC. The preferred regimen is a PD-1 inhibitor combined with platinum based chemotherapy, administered for 2-3 cycles. 2) During the efficacy evaluation of neoadjuvant therapy, radiographic assessment should follow the dual criteria of Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 and immune RECIST (iRECIST). After surgery, systematic pathological evaluation of both the primary lesion and regional lymph nodes is required. For combination chemotherapy regimens, PD-L1 expression and combined positive score need not be used as mandatory inclusion or exclusion criteria. 3) For special populations such as the elderly (≥ 70 years), individuals with stable HIV viral load, and carriers of chronic HBV/HCV, PD-1 inhibitors may be used cautiously under the guidance of a multidisciplinary team (MDT), with close monitoring for adverse events. 4) For patients with a poor response to neoadjuvant therapy, continuation of the original treatment regimen is not recommended; the subsequent treatment plan should be adjusted promptly after MDT assessment. Organ transplant recipients and patients with active autoimmune diseases are not recommended to receive neoadjuvant PD-1 inhibitor therapy due to the high risk of immune related activation. Rechallenge is generally not advised for patients who have experienced high risk immune related adverse events such as immune mediated myocarditis, neurotoxicity, or pneumonitis. 5) For patients with a good pathological response, individualized de escalation surgery and function preservation strategies can be explored. This consensus aims to promote the standardized, safe, and precise application of neoadjuvant PD-1 inhibitor strategies in the management of locally advanced OSCC patients.

Objectives:This study aimed to explore the association between perceived mental stress (MS), lymphocyte subset variations, and coronary lesion severity in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).Methods:Patients with CAD were enrolled in this study from September 2023 to May 2024. Perceived Stress Scale-14 (PSS-14) was used to evaluate MS during the last 1 month. Lymphocyte subsets were analyzed, including the percentage and absolute counts of CD3 +, CD3 +CD4 +, CD3 +CD8 +, CD3 -CD19 +, CD3 -CD56 +16 +, and the Th/Ts ratio. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 24.0. Results:This study recruited patients with 323 CAD, with an average age of 61 (56, 68) years, including 203 males and 120 females. According to the PSS-14, a score of 14-42 and 43-70 were categorized as normal and increased MS, respectively. Patients with CAD with increased MS had significantly higher Gensini scores than those with normal MS [37(19,64) vs. 28(12,50), Z=-2.19, P=0.029]. Male CAD patients with increased MS exhibited significantly higher Gensini scores [39(20, 58) vs. 26(12, 45), Z=-2.37, P=0.018], levels of CD3 +CD8 +%[28.3%(23.6%,36.6%) vs. 25.9%(21.0%,32.4%), Z=-2.05, P=0.041], and CD3 +CD8 +absolute value [485 (346, 675) vs. 396 (309, 510) cells/μl, Z=-2.55, P=0.011] than those with normal MS. In male patients with CAD, a positive correlation was observed between Gensini scores (correlation coefficient: 0.181, P=0.011), PSS-14 scores, and CD3 +CD8 +absolute value (correlation coefficient: 0.162, P=0.038). Conclusion:This study reveals a positive correlation between MS and coronary stenosis severity, with notable sex differences. In male patients with CAD, higher levels of MS are associated with more severe coronary stenosis. The potential underlying mechanism may involve the regulation of lymphocyte subsets .

Objective:To explore the relationship and underlying mechanisms between servant leadership and satisfaction of medical staff in tertiary hospitals, and to provide references for improving satisfaction of medical personnel.Methods:From January to June 2023, a questionnaire survey was conducted among on-duty medical staff at a tertiary hospital in Guangzhou using a simple random sampling method. Data corresponding to four key variables: servant leadership, hospital management level, affective commitment, and satisfaction of medical staff were collected. SPSS 25.0 software was used to perform independent samples t-tests and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) to examine group differences, and Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to explore the relationships among multiple variables. Amos 24.0 software was employed to construct a structural equation model to conduct confirmatory factor analysis of the four key variables, analyze potential mediating effects, and use multi-group analysis to examine differences in path parameters and structure among groups. Results:A total of 632 valid questionnaires were obtained. The satisfaction score of medical staff was (4.50±0.66)(maximum score was 5 points). Age, years of work experience, and job category had statistically significant effects on satisfaction of medical staff ( F = 5.799, 6.483, 7.671; P = 0.001). All four key variables were significantly positively correlated ( P<0.001). Servant leadership, hospital management level, and affective commitment all had direct positive effects on satisfaction of medical staff, with path coefficients of 0.207, 0.386, and 0.345, respectively ( P <0.05, critical ratio>1.96). Hospital management level and affective commitment each had independent partial mediating effects between servant leadership and satisfaction of medical staff (path coefficients of 0.353 and 0.067, respectively; P = 0.007, 0.018). They also jointly exerted a chain mediating effect (path coefficient of 0.243, P = 0.013). Differences in path effects among different job categories (clinical doctors, nurses, and administrative support staff) were statistically significant ( χ2 = 43.344, df = 24, P = 0.009). Conclusions:The servant leadership in tertiary hospitals can directly influence the satisfaction of medical staff, as well as indirectly influence it through emotional commitment and hospital management level. Moreover, the mechanisms of influence vary among medical staff of different professional categories. Tertiary hospitals should introduce and promote servant leadership styles, enhance the servant leadership behaviors of management personnel, and strengthen the synergistic effects of servant leadership, hospital management level, and affective commitment. Differential adjustment mechanisms should be implemented for different job categories.

Objective:This current study aims to explore the approaches for constructing a professional clinical research system within the context of research ward development, with the ultimate objective of providing valuable guidance for the establishment and development of proficient clinical research teams.Methods:Through a comprehensive case analysis, integrating the practical experiences from clinical trials conducted in the research ward of a Class-A tertiary hospital in Beijing, along with an extensive review of relevant literature and policy studies, this paper examined the current state of domestic clinical research implementation teams. Subsequently, a series of strategies were devised to build and foster professional clinical research teams and to explore corrective measures for cultivating a dynamic professional clinical research talent ecosystem.Results:The development of full-time clinical research teams in China was rather slow, and there was a lack of mature clinical trial teams training blueprints. Drawing on the practical experience accumulated during the establishment of a professional clinical research team in a leading hospital in Beijing, it was crucial to attach utmost importance to the optimal allocation of human and material resources. This required the systematic training of principal investigators, coordinating researchers, and research assistants, as well as the setting up of a comprehensive support system, an advanced scientific research team, and a quality control unit. Moreover, the standardization of operational models of both domestic and foreign research institutions, along with the implementation of corresponding support and incentive mechanisms, and the strengthening of training and continuing education frameworks were equally significant.Conclusions:During the process of assembling a full-time clinical research team, it is of utmost significance to cultivate professional principal investigators, coordinating researchers, and research assistants. Complemented by the establishment of a comprehensive support team, a scientific research team, and a quality control team, along with corresponding support and incentive mechanisms, this is crucial for constructing a professional clinical research execution team and a sustainable talent ecosystem in the research ward. Eventually, this will drive the efficient and high-quality progress of China's pharmaceutical industry.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the current status of water management for terminal rinsing of digestive en-doscope in medical institutions in Fujian Province,and to provide reference for improving regional quality control standards.METHODS An electronic questionnaire survey was conducted from Jul.2024 to Aug.2024 through convenient sampling in secondary and above hospitals of 9 prefecture-level cities in Fujian Province.The survey covered topics such as water treatment system configuration,maintenance and water quality monitoring.RESULTS A total of 108 questionnaires were distributed and 104 valid questionnaires were collected,with an effec-tive response rate of 96.30％.The survey revealed that 78.85％(82/104)of the hospitals adopted separate water supply for each department,and 82.69％used purified water for terminal rinsing.Only 19.23％installed the final filter membrane at the water outlet.In addition,66.35％of the hospitals did not specify the service life of the wa-ter supply pipeline,and the pipeline disinfection implementation rate was 60.58％,but 31.75％of them had ir-regular disinfection frequencies,with chlorine-based disinfectants(50.79％)and peracetic acid(34.92％)being the main disinfectants.The regular conductivity monitoring rate was 47.12％,and the microbial monitoring cov-erage rate reached 90.38％,with the monitoring frequency mainly being once every quarter(60.64％),but only 20.21％used R2A medium,and 12.77％adopted the membrane filtration method for inoculation.Tertiary hospi-tals were superior to secondary hospitals in terms of film membrane pore size pass rate(87.50％vs.56.86％),pipeline disinfection implementation rate(71.43％vs.50.91％)and advanced detection method application(P＜0.05).CONCLUSIONS There are issues in the management of water used for terminal rinsing of digestive endo-scopes in Fujian Province,including non-standard equipment maintenance,inconsistent monitoring methods and insufficient awareness among management personnel.It is recommended to enhance management quality by optimizing the water treatment system setup,establishing standardized monitoring procedures and strengthening professional training for personnel.

Objective The aim of this study is to retrospectively analyze the clinical and imaging characteristics,treatment and prognosis of 13 patients with granulomatous prostatitis(GP),and to provide reference for the diagnosis and treatment for GP.Methods The clinical information of 13 GP patients extracted from electronic medical records including demographic characteristic risk factors,clinical symptoms,laboratory findings,imaging findings(ultrasound,CT,MRI,FDG-PET-CT),treatment and outcomes were analyzed retrospectively from January 2018 to August 2023 at our center.Results The average age of 13 patients with GP was(65.69±6.46)years.And the average score of IPSS was(23.40±5.8).Five patients appeared positive results,of which 11 cases received digital rectal examination.The average level of pre-biopsy tPSA was(23.28±44.94)μg/L with fPSA/tPSA ratio of 0.11±0.05 and PSAD of(0.55±1.07)μg/l/mL.The pre-biopsy mean MRI PI-RADS 2.0 was(4.6±0.6)in this group of patients.Extraprostatic invasion was shown on imaging in 4 patients.The average number of biopsy needles was(19.6±3.9),and the pathological results showed tuber-culous granulomas in 2 cases(15.4％)and non-specific granulomatous inflammation in 11 cases(84.6％).Five patients received local treatment of the prostate after pathological confirmation(PVP in 4 cases,TURP in 1 case),2 patients re-ceived anti-tuberculosis therapy,and 3 cases were given antibiotics.Average follow-up was(20.6±11.2)months,and the average tPSA were(6.94±4.96)μg/L at 3-6 months after biopsy and/or surgery,with no obvious signs of malignancy during the follow-up period.Conclusion GP is the great mimicker of prostate cancer clinically and radiologically.Pros-tate biopsy is the method for confirming the diagnosis.For patients who are considering biopsy-free radical prostatectomy,it is important to consider the possibility of GP.

People’s health is an essential requirement of Chinese-style modernization. The red doctor spirit serves as the fundamental safeguard for achieving the goal of people’s health. What is the red doctor spirit？ What is the relationship between the red doctor spirit and virtue ethics？ How can virtues shape the red doctor spirit and seek theoretical support for this spirit from extensive and profound ethical resources？ From the perspective of virtue ethics， the red doctor spirit refers to the virtue requirements that the Communist Party of China （CPC） puts forward for medical workers during the process of leading the Chinese people to create and develop healthcare undertakings with Chinese characteristics， including political firmness， respecting life and healing the wounded and rescuing the dying with superb medical skills， and serving the people. This spirit is passed down and developed in line with the times， characterized by political， people-centered， practical， and inheritable traits. The integration of virtue ethics elements with the red doctor spirit not only puts forward new virtue ethics requirements for this spirit in the new era but also provides corresponding pathways for the virtue ethics cultivation of the red doctor spirit.
