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.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks as the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Although preventive colonoscopy screening has improved the survival rate of CRC patients in the past few years, there are still many patients diagnosed after symptoms appear. The surgery for CRC carries high risks and high recurrence, and ideal therapies remain to be developed. The Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) signaling pathway has become a focus of research due to its central role in cellular activities. As a classic oncogenic pathway, the JAK/STAT signaling pathway offers new possibilities for diagnosing and treating various malignancies, and it paves a new way for developing therapies for CRC. This pathway not only participates in basic cellular processes, such as proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis but also plays a crucial role in immune responses and inflammation. Abnormal activation of the JAK/STAT signaling pathway is closely related to the occurrence and development of CRC. Studies have shown that the active components and compound prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can inhibit the proliferation, invasion, migration, and angiogenesis while promoting the apoptosis and autophagy of CRC cells by interfering with the JAK/STAT signaling pathway. Furthermore, this pathway may also play a role in regulating the sensitivity of tumor cells to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, thus influencing the effectiveness of tumor treatment and impeding the progression of CRC. In recent years, research results have been updated rapidly, and previous literature summaries have failed to incorporate the latest findings, creating obstacles to accessing current literature. Therefore, this article supplements and summarizes information from the definition of the JAK/STAT pathway, association of this pathway with CRC, and TCM intervention of CRC. This review aims to provide references for future development of molecular biology regarding CRC and the research and development of new drugs.

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.

Fetal lingual lesion is a rare category of embryological anomalies, characterized by distinctive anatomical positioning, which may precipitate mechanical airway obstruction to unfavorable perinatal outcomes. There is a lack of comprehensive prenatal diagnostic strategies and effective treatments. This review has conducted a systematic literature overview of the clinical classification of fetal lingual anomalies, prenatal diagnosis, and perinatal treatment, including prenatal ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging, for optimizing perinatal care and obtaining an improved pregnancy outcome. Utilizing a multidisciplinary team framework, individualized peripartum management strategies are developed, contingent upon the presence or absence of airway compromise, with selective application of the ex-utero intrapartum treatment procedure as clinically warranted. By refining diagnostic accuracy and advancing therapeutic protocols, this review aims to elevate clinical management standards for congenital lingual lesions, thereby enhancing both short-term perinatal outcomes and long-term developmental prognoses.

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.
