Childhood simple obesity has become a significant public health issue in China. Modern medicine primarily relies on lifestyle interventions and often suffers from poor long-term compliance， while pharmacological options are limited and associated with potential adverse effects. Traditional Chinese Medicine （TCM） has a long history in the prevention and management of this condition， demonstrating eight distinct advantages， including systematic theoretical foundation， diversified therapeutic approaches， definite therapeutic efficacy， high safety profile， good patient compliance， comprehensive intervention strategies， emphasis on prevention， and stepwise treatment protocols. Additionally， TCM is characterized by six distinctive features： the use of natural medicinal substances， non-invasive external therapies， integration of medicinal dietetics， simple exercise regimens， precise syndrome differentiation， and diverse dosage forms. By combining internal and external treatments， TCM facilitates individualized regimen adjustment and holistic regulation， demonstrating remarkable effects in improving obesity-related metabolic indicators， regulating constitutional imbalance， and promoting healthy behaviors. However， challenges remain， such as inconsistent operational standards， insufficient high-quality clinical evidence， and a gap between basic research and clinical application. Future efforts should focus on accelerating the standardization of TCM diagnosis and treatment， conducting multicenter randomized controlled trials， and fostering interdisciplinary integration， so as to enhance the scientific validity and international recognition of TCM in the prevention and treatment of childhood obesity.

Symptom and syndrome efficacy evaluation scales are indispensable tools for clinical efficacy assessment in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， and hold significant value at all stages of new drug research development for spleen and stomach diseases. These scales can provide scientific basis for clinical positioning， efficacy evaluation， and expansion of indications of new drugs. By analyzing the current hotspots and difficulties in research， this study aims to explore the important significance of these scales in the development of new drugs for spleen and stomach diseases， summarize the domestic research progress， and conduct comparative analyses with international studies. Future development trends are also discussed in order to promote the application of symptom and syndrome efficacy evaluation scales in the development of new drugs for spleen and stomach diseases and to advance the moder-nization process of TCM.

ObjectiveThis paper aims to observe the syndrome improvement and negative antigen conversion rate of Qingxuan Daozhi formula in the treatment of influenza in children （heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome）. MethodsThrough a multi-center randomized controlled methodology design，confirmed influenza cases were collected from October 2022 to April 2023 in the pediatrics department of eight hospitals，such as Dongfang Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. A total of 180 children with influenza and heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome conforming to the standard were recruited through the clinic. The sick children meeting the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into groups by a block-randomized method. The children in the experimental group were treated with Qingxuan Daozhi formula for five days，and those in the control group were treated with Oseltamivir Phosphate Granules for five days. The primary efficacy indicator was the negative conversion rate of influenza antigen detection. Secondary efficacy indicators were the Canadian acute respiratory illness and flu scale （CARIFS） and the incidence of complications，severe cases， and critical cases. Follow-up observation was conducted on the day of enrollment，48 hours after medication，72 hours after medication， and （6+1） d after medication. ResultsOne hundred and eighty participants were randomly assigned to the experimental group （90 cases） or the control group （90 cases）. All participants were followed up during the study. Comparison of influenza antigen detection results in the primary efficacy indicators showed that the average time of negative influenza antigen conversion in the experimental group was （5.29±1.25） d，and that in the control group was （5.40±1.68） d，without a statistically significant difference. After five days of intervention，52 cases in the experimental group and 51 cases in the control group converted to negative，without a statistically significant difference. CARIFS score results in the secondary efficacy indicators showed that during 72 hours after intervention，there were statistically significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in three dimensions， including headache，muscle soreness， and the need for extra care （P<0.05）. On the （6+1） days after the intervention，the differences in both the experimental group and the control group were statistically significant in 10 dimensions， including sore throat，bad sleep，uncomfortable feeling，poor spirit and fatigue，crying more than usual，the need for extra care，symptom，function，influence on parents，and total score （P<0.05）. The comparison results within the group in the dimensional scores of symptom， function， and influence on parents，as well as the CARIFS total score showed that with the delay of follow-up time，scores of both groups decreased significantly，with a statistically significant difference （P<0.01）. Inter-group comparison results showed that the mean score of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group at the time of enrollment. With the progress of intervention，the score of the experimental group was significantly decreased compared with that of the control group. At the end of follow-up，the mean score of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group，with no statistically significant difference. In terms of the incidence of complications，severe cases， and critical cases， there were no complications，severe cases， and critical cases in the two groups，without a statistically significant difference. ConclusionThe symptom improvement effect and negative antigen conversion rate of Qingxuan Daozhi formula in the treatment of influenza in children （heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome） are not inferior to Oseltamivir Phosphate granules， and children's acceptance is better. It can be more widely used in clinical treatment of influenza in children （heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome）.

Background: Malignant vasovagal syncope (VVS) is characterized by cardiac arrest lasting more than 3 seconds during a syncope episode or head-up tilt test (HUTT). We aim to conduct a risk assessment for potential malignant VVS before the HUTT by using economic, simple and convenient demographic data, in order to prevent adverse outcomes for pediatric VVS.Purpose: To explore the correlation between demographic factors and pediatric malignant VVS, and verify the value of these factors in early risk assessment for malignant VVS before HUTT, so as to optimize test safety and reduce adverse events. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 3,734 children who were initially diagnosed with VVS due to unexplained syncope and presyncope. Finally, 122 children who met the diagnostic criteria for malignant VVS were included in the malignant VVS group, and 661 children who did not meet the criteria during the same period were matched as the control group. By analyzing demographic data and other factors, we attempted to clarify the association between these factors and malignant VVS. Results: Linear relationship: age and body mass index (BMI) have independent protective effects on malignant VVS. For every 1-year increase in age and every 1 kg/m2 increase in BMI, the risk of malignant VVS decreases by 12% and 9%, respectively. Nonlinear relationship: When the age is <12.9 years old, for every additional year of age, the risk of malignant VVS decreases by 20%. For ages 12.9 years and above, the efficacy is not significant. There is no significant nonlinear relationship between BMI and malignant VVS. Conclusion Age and BMI are independent protective factors for pediatric malignant VVS. Before the age of 12.9 years, the incidence of malignant VVS gradually decreases with the increase in age, and thereafter there is no significant impact.

Postoperative digestive tract radiography (Trendelenburg position)showed that all the patients had no contrast reflux,gastroscopy showed no signs of reflux esophagitis and bile reflux gastritis, the anastomosis showed an inverted whiskers valve-like structure. The median follow-up time was (16.8±6.3) months, and all patients had no reflux symptoms such as acid reflux and belching,and no acid suppressive medication was needed.Conclusion:The esophageal-tubular gastric asymmetric anastomosis is a safe and effective antireflux reconstruction technique.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical status of long-term oral anticoagulant management in patients with atrial fibrillation, and to analyze the obstacles and promoting factors in the implementation of evidence, so as to provide evidence for clinical transformation.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. Through the evidence-based nursing method, guided by the Ottawa Model, the review indicators and review methods were developed based on the best evidence. The clinical status review of 100 patients who met the inclusion criteria in the Department of Cardiology, Affiliated Hospital of Jiangsu University was conducted from August to November 2022 using a convenience sampling method, and based on the results of the review, an analysis of obstacles and promoting factors was carried out to develop a clinical response.Results:This study included 100 patients with atrial fibrillation, 60 males and 40 females, aged (70.14 ± 10.39) years. Totally 26 best items were included, and 24 review indicators were developed, among which only 4 indicators had a compliance rate of 100% , 2 indicators had a compliance rate of >60% , 5 indicators had a compliance rate of <60% , and 13 indicators had a compliance rate of 0. According to the results of the review, a comprehensive and systematic analysis was conducted from the three dimensions of system, practitioners, patients and family members. For each dimension, obstacles and promoting factors were analyzed in depth from evidence-based change, potential adopters and practical environment.Conclusions:There is a gap between the best evidence and clinical status of long-term oral anticoagulant management in patients with atrial fibrillation. In-depth analysis of obstacle factors, formulate countermeasures, and promote the efficient implementation of evidence in clinical practice.

Objective:Based on the best evidence, formulate the review indicators to promote the initiation and establishment of maternal lactation and carry out clinical review, analyze the barriers and promoting factors of the clinical application of evidence, and formulate countermeasures.Methods:Evidence-based nursing research was used to identify clinical problems, build evidence-based group, systematically search, evaluate and synthesize evidence. On September 1,2023 to December 31 in Affiliated Hospital of Jiangsu University document and delivery of maternal investigation, in Ottawa research application mode as a guide, based on the evidence to review indicators and review method, clear clinical status and evidence gap, combined with the stakeholders interview, using content analysis to analyze barriers and promoting factors, to formulate action countermeasures.Results:In this study, 140 pregnant women were finally included for clinical review, aged from 22 to 42 (30.13 ± 3.69) years. A total of 23 pieces of best evidence were incorporated, leading to the establishment of 29 review indicators. Among these, 20 review indicators showed compliance rates below 60%. The main obstacles based on the results of review and interviews with stakeholders: the evidence content covered perinatal stages but lacked specificity and practical applicability; nurses had insufficient knowledge and faced increased workloads; pregnant/postpartum women lacked essential knowledge and skills, with delayed resolution of lactation issues; the practice environment lacked evidence-based implementation protocols, specialized assessment tools, and professional lactation consultant teams, etc. Promoting factors: the project team had rich experience in evidence transformation; the reform aligned with national policies, high engagement from departmental leaders, and standardized management systems for evidence-based projects in the nursing department; strong motivation among pregnant/postpartum women; the hospital was an infant-friendly hospital with talents needed for evidence transformation.Conclusions:There is a big gap between the clinical status and the evidence of promoting the initiation and establishment of lactation, so nursing staff should make full use of the promoting factors and formulate countermeasures according to the obstacle factors, so as to provide reference for promoting the initiation of lactation and the establishment of relevant evidence to clinical transformation.

Objective:To reveal the relationship between fat mass and obesity associated (FTO) protein and the occurrence of diseases in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) combined with metabolic syndrome (MS).Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted, and general clinical data and laboratory test indicators of 50 PCOS patients (PCOS group) and 54 healthy individuals (control group) were collected from December 2023 to October 2024. The PCOS group was divided into the PCOS without MS subgroup (PCOS+nMS subgroup, n=25) and the PCOS with MS subgroup (PCOS+MS subgroup, n=25) based on whether MS was present or not. The expression level of serum FTO protein was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. The clinical data and metabolic characteristics of PCOS patients were analyzed, as well as the correlation between serum FTO protein level and the occurrence of PCOS with MS. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were drew to analyze the predictive ability of serum FTO protein level for PCOS combined MS, and the correlation between serum FTO protein level and metabolic status of PCOS patients was evaluated through logistic regression model. Results:The level of serum FTO protein in the PCOS group [57.42 (45.87, 68.53) μg/L], and PCOS+nMS subgroup [48.41 (37.84, 64.30) μg/L] was all significantly higher than that in the control [45.70 (36.41, 52.86) μg/L, P<0.001; adjusted P=0.016]. The expression level of serum FTO protein in PCOS+MS subgroup [60.31 (50.99, 72.28) μg/L] was significantly higher than that in PCOS+nMS subgroup (adjusted P=0.013) and the control (adjusted P<0.001). The serum FTO protein expression level in the PCOS group was significantly positively correlated with body mass index, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, homeostasis model to assess insulin resistance index (all P<0.05). The expression level of serum FTO protein had a certain predictive value for PCOS, with an area under the curve (AUC) value of 0.725 (95% CI: 0.627-0.824) and a better predictive value for the occurrence of MS in PCOS, with an AUC value of 0.869 (95% CI: 0.762-0.976) as shown by the ROC curve. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that in PCOS patients, the expression level of serum FTO protein had a significant positive effect on the coexistence of MS, ( OR=1.092,95% CI: 1.010-1.180, P=0.026). Conclusion:PCOS patients have higher serum FTO protein levels than healthy women, and PCOS patients with MS have higher serum FTO protein levels than those without MS. The serum FTO protein level has a good predictive value for the occurrence of PCOS and PCOS complicated with MS, and is an independent risk factor for the occurrence of MS in PCOS.
