ObjectiveTo construct an intelligent model for literature screening, retrieval, and data extraction with a systematic review of coronary heart disease syndromes as an example, so as to improve the efficiency of evidence-based Chinese medicine research. MethodsBased on China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), VIP and Wanfang Data Resource System, the articles related to coronary heart disease syndrome research published from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2023 were retrieved. Automated tools were used to batch retrieve paper metadata. Using text similarity algorithms, papers were merged, deduplicated, and subjected to preliminary screening based on titles and abstracts. Further screening was performed using object detection and image processing technologies on the full texts and statistical tables. Natural language processing (NLP) techniques and pre-trained models were applied to extract information. ResultsThe initial search retrieved 56 255 coronary heart disease syndrome-related articles. By artificial intelligence-assisted preliminary and secondary screening, the manual verification scope was narrowed to 1075 articles. Ultimately, 646 coronary heart disease syndrome related studies were included manually. With accuracy verification showing over 90% consistency in semantic recognition and element decomposition processes, we achieved data extraction and standardization processing for both basic literature information and 38 syndrome element statistics. ConclusionBy incorporating natural language processing, pre-trained models, artificial intelligence image processing and other technologies, this study enabled efficient retrieval, screening and standardized data extraction of Chinese medicine research literature.

The "integrated time-space" perspective of life in traditional Chinese medicine holds that structure and function respectively belong to the realms of space and time. The orderly integration of time and space not only supports the existence and development of life, but also serves as the foundation for biological evolution. Based on this standpoint, this paper proposes the spatiotemporal structural theory of visceral manifestation, characterized by the fusion of time and space, the integration of internal and external dimensions, and the absence of primary or secondary distinctions. Using the individual human body as the boundary, it delineates the man and nature spatiotemporal structure, based on the theory of the "correspondence between man and nature", and the internal spatiotemporal structure of the living body. The man and nature spatiotemporal structure, with yin-yang and the five phases as its core, reveals the correspondence and connectivity between the external environment and the internal zang-fu organs within the spatiotemporal dimension. The internal temporal structure of the body refers to the collective physiological rhythms related to the zang-fu organs, while the spatial structure refers to the tangible forms, spatial positions, and connective structures of the zang-fu organs. The proposal of the spatiotemporal structural theory of visceral manifestation represents a rational reconstruction and practical exploration of the essential connotations of visceral manifestation, aiming to provide new perspectives for subsequent theoretical research and clinical applications.

The escalating phenomenon of global population aging is posing multi-dimensional challenges to society, the economy and medical healthcare system.Among the significant health threats to the elderly population are cardiovascular diseases(CVD)and cognitive frailty(CF), both of which profoundly affect the quality of life and increase the risks of adverse health outcomes, including disability, hospitalization, and death.The concurrent presence of CVD and CF in elderly patients is prevalent, as these conditions share many common risk factors and underlying pathophysiological mechanisms, such as atherosclerosis, microcirculation dysfunction, and inflammation, which interact to perpetuate a vicious cycle.Notably, CF exhibits a certain degree of reversibility; thus, the implementation of a diagnosis and treatment paradigm that incorporates "comprehensive geriatric assessment and geriatric interdisciplinary teams" should be established as a conventional management strategy for elderly patients affected by both CVD and CF.Cognitive digital therapeutics, along with personalized exercise prescriptions based on cardiopulmonary exercise tests, may represent more appropriate precision interventions for these patients.Consequently, there is a necessity for further in-depth research in this area moving forward.

Objective:To assess the implementation status of Internet-Plus Nursing Services from patient experience perspectives and analyze influencing factors in Putuo District, Shanghai.Methods:A cross-sectional study on Internet-Plus Nursing Services was conducted from January to March 2024. The study enrolled 502 patients from 12 community health centers and 4 social nursing stations in Shanghai Putou District via convenience sampling. Using Internet-Plus Nursing Services for ≥ 6 months were defined as having received the services. Service implementation and quality perception were evaluated using satisfaction assessments and SERVQUAL-based quality perception scales. Data analysis included descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression.Results:The service adoption rate was 73.71% (370/502), with 66.93%(336/502) policy awareness. The logistic regression analysis indicated that the application of services was significantly influenced by age ( OR=0.660, 95% CI: 0.512-0.850), self-care ability ( OR=0.384, 95% CI: 0.257-0.574), and policy awareness ( OR=0.344, 95% CI:0.210-0.564) (all P<0.05). Among the service types, specimen collection/monitoring (80.27%, 299/370) and home health guidance (64.86%,240/370) were most utilized. Injection services had the highest satisfaction (4.10/5), while the special type of care had the lowest satisfaction rate (2.45/5). Quality perception was highest for Assurance and Empathy dimensions (both 4.74/5). Conclusion:The application rate and satisfaction of Internet-Plus Nursing Service in Shanghai Putuo District is high, which is associated with effective integration of clinical needs and perceptual drivers. Targeted expansion of specialized care services is recommended to enhance service diversification.

ObjectiveTo construct a comprehensive evaluation indicator system for clinical practice guidelines of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that is scientific, systematic, and reflects the characteristics of TCM. MethodsA systematic search was conducted in Chinese and English databases, including CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, SinoMed, PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library, to include literature on domestic and international guideline evaluation tools and TCM-related research. Document analysis and CiteSpace were utilized for keyword co-occurrence and clustering analysis. ResultsA total of 65 relevant studies were included, from which seven core thematic domains were identified. Based on the research objectives, a two-step construction strategy was adopted: first, an external evaluation framework was established by referencing international tools to cover methodological rigor and procedural standardization; second, an internal evaluation framework was developed to reflect the distinctive features of TCM clinical practice, including syndrome differentiation and efficacy feedback. Through expert consensus, the indicator system was refined, resulting in a dual-layered structure comprising 8 primary indicators, 22 secondary indicators, and 62 evaluation criteria. ConclusionThe comprehensive evaluation system for TCM clinical practice guidelines, based on bibliometric analysis and core element extraction, integrates both theoretical integrity and practical applicability. This study provides a preliminary research foundation for further optimization, validation, and development of a refined comprehensive evaluation system.

Objective:To compare the efficacies of endovascular therapy (EVT) and standard medical therapy in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients aged ≥85 years, and analyze the independent influencing factors for poor prognosis of AIS patients after EVT.Methods:Sixty-nine AIS patients aged ≥85 years admitted to Department of Neurology, Xi'an Third Hospital from January 2018 to April 2024, including 40 accepted EVT and 28 accepted standard medicinal therapy, were enrolled. Modified Rankin scale (mRS) was used to evaluate the prognosis of the patients 90 days after onset. General data, prognosis and complications between the EVT group and standard medical therapy group were compared. General data, treatment processes and complications between patients with good prognosis and poor prognosis in the EVT group were compared. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent influencing factors for poor prognosis in AIS patients after EVT.Results:Compared with the standard medical therapy, the EVT group had significantly lower NIHSS score at discharge, greater improvement in NIHSS score (NIHSS score at admission-NIHSS score at discharge), lower mRS score 90 days after onset, higher good prognosis rate, lower mortality rate within 90 days of onset, and longer hospital stay ( P<0.05). In the EVT group, 11 patients (27.5%) had good prognosis and 29 patients (72.5%) had poor prognosis 90 days after onset. Compared with the good prognosis group, the poor prognosis group had significantly higher blood glucose level and lower Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECT) on admission ( P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that blood glucose on admission ( OR=2.363, 95% CI: 1.134-4.928, P=0.022) and ASPECT score on admission ( OR=0.273, 95% CI: 0.088-0.854, P=0.026) were independent influencing factors for poor prognosis in AIS patients after EVT. Conclusion:AIS patients aged ≥85 years received EVT have better prognosis compared with those accepted standard medical therapy; these patients with high glucose level and low ASPECT score on admission have poor prognosis.
