The key to the onset and progression of the functional impairments of orthopedic diseases is imba-lance of deficiency and excess, disharmony of movement and stillness, dislocation of sinews and bones, imbalance of rigidity and flexibility, and disharmony of body and spirit. Based on this, the "five views" treatment principle has been proposed for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) orthopedic rehabilitation, which include the view of balancing deficiency and excess, combining movement and stillness, focusing on both sinews and bones, integrating rigidity and flexibility, and harmonizing body and spirit. Correspondingly, the "five views" collaborative rehabilitation clinical model is established, providing a reference for enhancing the systematization and targeting of TCM orthopedic rehabilitation.

OBJECTIVE Aimed at investigating whether reflux pharyngitis is an independent risk factor for the failure of type Ⅰ tympanoplasty for chronic otitis media.This is achieved by analyzing the relationship between the postoperative tympanic membrane healing in patients who underwent type Ⅰ tympanoplasty and pharyngolaryngeal reflux finding score(RFS).METHODS Patients who underwent type Ⅰ tympanoplasty in the Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery,Nanshan People's Hospital,Shenzhen,China,from January 2023 to July 2024 were retrospectively included.All the patients received preoperative perfect nasal endoscopy,laryngoscopy,evaluation by the RFS questionnaire,preoperative otoscopy for tympanoplasty,pure tone hearing threshold,and temporal bone thin-layer CT examination.Postoperative otoscopic examination was performed to observe tympanic membrane healing and followed up for 3 months.The patients were divided into surgery success group and failure group based on the criterion of whether a complete tympanic membrane was formed by endoscopic examination within 3 months.The RFS scores of the two groups were statistically analyzed.RESULTS A total of 135 patients with an average age of 44.78 years(±12.22 years)took part in this study,with 60 males and 75 females included,and 68 left ears and 67 right ears involved.There were 120 patients in the surgery success group,and 15 patients in the failure group.Statistical analysis revealed that the RFS score of the patients in the tympanoplasty failure group was remarkably higher than that of the patients in the tympanoplasty success group.Moreover,there were significantly more cases with suspected reflux pharyngitis in the surgery failure group(P=0.007).Reflux-induced tympanic membrane lesion and reperforation mostly occurred in the central part of the tympanic membrane graft.CONCLUSION Reflux pharyngitis has been implicated with tympanoplasty failure,and thus may be a causative factor.Additionally,the RFS can be used to screen patients with chronic suppurative otitis media for suspected reflux pharyngitis.Findings from this work indicate that perioperative anti-reflux therapy,combined with dietary and lifestyle counselling for the patients who suffer from reflux pharyngitis and are about to undergo the tympanoplasty surgery may improve surgical success rate.

Pinellia ternata, belonging to the Pinellia genus within the Araceae family, is a medicinal plant due to its tubers. There are severe issues with unclear germplasm and mixed varieties in its cultivation, necessitating urgent new variety protection efforts. The distinctness, uniformity, and stability (DUS) testing of the plant variety is the basis for protecting new plant varieties, and the DUS test guidelines are the technical basis for DUS testing. To develop the DUS test guidelines for P. ternata, agronomic traits of 229 germplasm of P. ternata were observed and measured during its two growth stages over the years, and each character was graded and described. A total of 38 traits were selected as the test traits of the DUS test guideline for P. ternata. There were three plant traits, 19 leaf traits, six flower traits, two fruit traits, two tuber traits, five bulbil traits, and one ploidy trait. These traits could be divided into 22 quality characters, 12 quantitative characters, and four pseudo-quantitative characters, as well as seven groups, including plants, leaves, flowers, fruit, tubers, bulbils, and ploidy. By searching for standard traits, 10 standard varieties were ultimately determined. Preparing these guidelines will have great significance for reviewing and protecting P. ternata varieties, safeguarding breeders' rights, and promoting the development of the P. ternata industry.

Objective:To investigate the current application status of prophylactic anti-infective drugs during the perioperative period in liver transplantation centers and provide data references for further standardizing prophylactic regimens.Methods:A questionnaire comprising 53 questions across 5 dimensions was designed and released using the WJX platform. The dimensions included basic information about medical institutions, perioperative pathogenic microorganisms, current status of empirical antibacterial prophylaxis, adjustments to prophylactic anti-infective strategies, and an overview of prophylactic measures against other pathogens. Based on the survey results, the types of common perioperative pathogens in liver transplantation, types of prophylactic antibacterial drugs, timing and duration of administration, upgraded prophylaxis strategies (such as escalation of antibiotic classes or extension of drug application duration), and prevention strategies for other pathogens were summarized.Results:A total of 13 completed questionnaires from pharmacists at liver transplantation centers were collected. The most common pathogens during the perioperative period were Gram-negative bacilli, including Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii. The most frequently used prophylactic antibacterial drugs were cefoperazone/sulbactam and piperacillin/tazobactam. Regarding the timing of administration, 9 centers administered drugs 0.5 to 1.0 hour before surgery, 3 within 0.5 hour, and 1 within 1 hour preoperatively. The prophylactic duration was within 7 days postoperatively for living donor liver transplantation in 10 centers, while for cadaveric donor liver transplantation, only 6 centers adhered to the 7-day duration. When donors had infections with sensitive bacteria, 9 centers upgraded prevention strategies: 2 centers escalated the antibiotic class or adjusted regimens, 5 centers extended the duration of prophylaxis, 2 centers implemented donor-specific susceptibility-guided antibacterial treatments regardless of colonization or infection, and 5 centers administered prophylaxis only in cases of colonization based on donor susceptibility results. When donors had multi-drug resistance bacterial infections, 11 centers upgraded prevention strategies: 7 escalated the antibiotic class or adjusted regimens, 4 extended prophylaxis duration, 6 implemented susceptibility-guided treatments irrespective of colonization or infection, 1 administered prophylaxis only for colonization based on donor susceptibility results, and 2 abandoned transplantations. 7 centers routinely applied antifungal prophylactic measures, including 1 for preoperative prophylaxis and 6 for postoperative prophylaxis, using caspofungin (4 centers), fluconazole (2 centers), posaconazole (1 center), and micafungin (1 center). 6 centers initiated antifungal prophylaxis in cases with donor or recipient fungal infection history or active fungal infections detected during liver procurement. Most antifungal prophylaxis was administered within 72 hours postoperative (11 centers), with durations mostly within 14 days (12 centers). For viral infections, 6 centers adopted routine postoperative prophylactic measures. Conclusions:Currently, the perioperative prophylactic anti-infective strategies in 13 liver transplantation centers are not standardized. High-quality multicenter clinical studies are needed to compare the effectiveness of different prophylactic regimens, aiming to further standardize the types and durations of prophylactic drug use.
