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）.

Neurocritical care involves complex pathophysiological mechanisms, and its incidence is higher, injuries are more severe, and treatment is more challenging in high-altitude environments. This consensus, based on the latest domestic and international evidence-based medical data, establishes a standardized, goal-oriented framework for neurocritical care management applicable in high-altitude regions and nationwide. The consensus was developed following international standards for evidence quality assessment and underwent two rounds of Delphi expert consultation, resulting in 32 recommendation statements covering three parts: management systems, monitoring and assessment, and core strategies. Key updates include: advocating for the establishment of independent neurocritical care units and implementing precise tiered diagnosis and treatment based on the "Five Differences in Critical Care" concept; constructing a "trinity" multimodal brain monitoring system centered on cerebral blood flow, cerebral oxygenation, and brain function, emphasizing routine bedside transcranial Doppler ultrasound, cerebral oximetry, and continuous electroencephalography monitoring; shifting management strategies from mild hypothermia therapy to targeted temperature management, and defining the "446" target management pathway for the supercritical stage; emphasizing the assessment of static and dynamic cerebrovascular autoregulation functions through multimodal methods to achieve individualized optimal mean arterial pressure management; elevating cerebrospinal fluid management goals to the level of "glymphatic system" function maintenance; implementing a multidisciplinary collaborative, whole-process management model focusing on patients' long-term neurological functional outcomes; de-escalation criteria include multidimensional indicators such as recovery of brain structure, restoration of cerebrovascular autoregulation, improvement in cerebrospinal fluid dynamics, and reduction in biomarker levels; and integrating cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence into post-critical care management and rehabilitation planning. This consensus systematically integrates the entire process of neurocritical care management, reflecting the modern connotation of goal-oriented, dynamic, and multimodal integration in neurocritical care medicine. It aims to adapt to new trends such as deepening understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms, the integration of medicine and engineering, and the empowerment of artificial intelligence, thereby further advancing the discipline of critical care medicine.

Glaucoma， characterized by pathological elevation of intraocular pressure， progressive optic nerve damage， and apoptosis of retinal ganglion cells， is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness. It is strongly associated with significant vision loss and a decline in quality of life. Although pharmacological therapy remains the primary approach to managing glaucoma， clinical outcomes are often suboptimal， highlighting the urgent need for safe and effective alternative treatments. In traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， glaucoma is categorized as part of the "five wind internal obstruction" syndrome， and TCM has amassed substantial experience in the prevention and treatment of this condition. Therefore， this article provided a comprehensive review of recent findings on the relationship between glaucoma and relevant signaling pathways， as well as the regulatory effects of TCM on these pathways in the treatment of glaucoma. TCM can exert therapeutic effects by modulating key signaling pathways， including the Toll-like receptor 4/myeloid differentiation factor 88/nuclear factor-κB （TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB） signaling pathway， Janus kinase （JAK）/signal transducer and activator of transcription （JAK/STAT） pathway， phosphoinositide 3-kinase/serine-threonine protein kinase/mammalian target of rapamycin （PI3K/Akt/mTOR） pathway， nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 （NLRP3） inflammasome pathway， and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2/heme oxygenase-1 （Nrf2/HO-1） pathway. These pathways are involved in reducing inflammation， inhibiting apoptosis and ferroptosis， and ameliorating oxidative stress. By synthesizing current research， this article offers theoretical insights and practical references for advancing the understanding of the pathological mechanisms underlying glaucoma， innovating strategies for optic nerve protection， and promoting integrative TCM and Western medical approaches in glaucoma management.

OBJECTIVE To explore and establish a full-cycle management model for drug traceability codes that aligns with national policy requirements and the practical needs of healthcare institutions， thereby enhancing the refinement of drug management and the level of medication safety. METHODS A tripartite strategy integrating “hardware deployment， system transformation， and process re-engineering” was adopted. This involved the introduction of intelligent identification devices （personal digital assistant， high-definition industrial reader）， the modification of the hospital information system interface， and the re-engineering of workflows （drug warehousing， dispensing and distribution， drug withdrawal， uploading to the insurance platform） to achieve comprehensive， informatized collection and association of drug traceability codes throughout all stages. RESULTS A full-cycle management model for drug traceability codes was successfully established， realizing the goals of making drugs “traceable to their source， trackable in their distribution， and accountable in their responsibility”. The patient waiting time for medication dispensing before and after the implementation was [3.08（1.67，5.58）] min and [3.28（1.77，5.98）] min， respectively. Among them， the patient waiting time under the pre-preparation mode was [3.60（2.13，6.35）] min and [3.50（2.03，6.30）] min， respectively； the patient waiting time under the real-time mode was [2.05（0.83，4.03）] min and [2.78（1.18，5.38）] min， respectively； the number of dispensing errors was 3， 0， respectively； the staffing of relevant positions had not been increased. CONCLUSIONS The drug traceability code management model constructed from a full-cycle perspective effectively meets national policy requirements. It provides data support for refined hospital management and offers solid technical and procedural safeguards for ensuring patient medication safety and strengthening medical insurance fund supervision， demonstrating practical value.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infections in adult patients for improving clinical treatment and identifying potential interventions.Methods Clinical data of inpatients diagnosed with S.aureus bloodstream infection confirmed by blood culture in a hospital from January 2016 to December 2023 were retrospectively reviewed.The data included patient age,gender,history of hospital admission,department of admission,underlying diseases,primary infection,quick Pitt bacteremia score(qPitt),invasive treatment,empirical anti-infective treatment,and treatment outcomes.Patients were assigned to case group or control group according to whether they died in hospital in order to identify the prognostic factors of patient outcomes.Binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent prognostic factors.Results A total of 233 cases of S.aureus bacteremia were identified.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age ≥ 70 years old(OR=4.725,95％CI:1.228-18.173,P=0.024),diabetes mellitus(OR=8.161,95％CI:1.954-34.086,P=0.004),Charlson comorbidity index(CCI)≥ 5(OR=7.672,95％CI:1.901-30.963,P=0.004),hospital infection(OR=7.853,95％CI:1.588-38.832,P=0.012),and qPitt ≥ 2(OR=23.189,95％CI:4.461-120.552,P＜0.001)were independent prognostic factors for poor outcome of patients with S.aureus bacteremia,while catheter-associated infection(OR=0.051,95％CI:0.005-0.579,P=0.016)was negatively correlated with mortality.Conclusions Advanced age,diabetes mellitus,high CCI,hospital infection,and high qPitt were independent prognostic factors for poor outcomes of patients with S.aureus bacteremia.The patients should be well managed by timely removal of eradicable lesions to improve patient outcomes.

Objective:To explore the association of blood and urinary cadmium levels with lipid profile levels and dyslipidemia in Chinese adults aged 18 to 79 years.Methods:Based on the China National Human Biomonitoring (CNHBM) program, a cross-sectional survey was conducted from 2017 to 2018 using a multi-stage stratified random sampling method, including a total of 10 713 adults aged 18 to 79 years. Data was obtained through questionnaires, physical examinations, biological sample collection, and laboratory testing. Multiple linear mixed effect model (MLMM) and generalized linear mixed effect model (GLMM) were used to analyze the association of blood and creatinine-corrected urinary cadmium levels with lipid profile levels as well as dyslipidemia among adults.Results:The age of 10 713 participants was (47.23±0.24) years, with 5 372 males accounting for 61.3% of the national population. The weighted mean±standard error (SE) of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was (5.21±0.03), (1.86±0.03), (2.96±0.03), and (1.43±0.01) mmol/L, respectively. The prevalence rate of hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, mixed hyperlipidemia, low HDL-C, and high LDL-C was 16.0%, 21.6%, 6.6%, 13.5%, and 10.0%, respectively. MLMM showed that, after adjusting for relevant confounders, log-transformed blood cadmium levels were positively associated with increased levels of TC, TG and LDL-C ( P<0.05). When blood cadmium levels were categorized into quartiles, compared to the lowest exposure group ( Q1), participants in the highest blood cadmium exposure group ( Q4) had increases of 0.19 (95% CI: 0.06, 0.32) mmol/L in TC and 0.25 (95% CI: 0.08, 0.43) mmol/L in TG. GLMM indicated that, after adjusting for confounders, higher blood cadmium exposure levels were associated with increased risks of hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, mixed hyperlipidemia, and high LDL-C ( P<0.05). Further analysis by quartiles showed that, compared to the blood cadmium Q1 exposure group, the OR value (95% CI) for the Q4 group was 1.53 (1.12, 2.08) for hypercholesterolemia, 1.54 (1.09, 2.17) for hypertriglyceridemia, 2.24 (1.47, 3.40) for mixed hyperlipidemia, and 1.49 (1.07, 2.09) for high LDL-C. Conclusion:The cadmium internal exposure levels are associated with blood lipid profile levels as well as the incidence of dyslipidemia in Chinese adults aged 18 to 79.

Objective To observe hierarchical differences in brain functional networks in unilateral mesial temporal lobe epilepsy(mTLE)patients with different outcomes after surgery.Methods A total of 69 unilateral mTLE patients who underwent resection of epileptogenic lesion on the affected side were retrospectively enrolled.Based on Engel classification 1 year after surgery,the patients were divided into seizure free(SF)group and non-seizure free(NSF)group.Functional connectivity gradient analysis was employed to extract principal gradient explaining the highest variance on preoperative resting-state functional MRI(rs-fMRI),then the whole-brain gradient characteristics and principal gradient values within specific functional networks were compared between groups.Results Principal gradient connected default mode network(DMN)with sensorimotor network(SMN)along a continuous axis.Compared to SF group,NSF group showed a contracted gradient range at both ends(DMN and SMN)of the functional network and weakened hierarchical differentiation,and principal gradient value of DMN was higher,while that of SMN was lower than those in SF group(both P＜0.05).Conclusion Hierarchical differences in brain functional networks in unilateral mTLE patients with different outcomes after surgery mainly present as enhanced DMN and weakened SMN in NSF ones,and the latter two might serve as important neuroimaging markers for evaluating postoperative seizure recurrence.

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 To investigate the effect of miR-129-1-3p on the osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(hBMSCs)and its potential mechanism.Methods Negative control group,the miR-129-1-3p mimic group,the miR-129-1-3p inhibitor group and the corresponding negative control were constructed and transfected into hBMSCs.The formation of calcium-mineralized nodules was observed by alkaline phosphatase staining and alizarin red S staining.The expression levels of miR-129-1-3p and osteogenic differentiation markers were detected by qRT-PCR.Western blot detected the protein expressions of bone mor-phogenetic protein 2(BMP2),SMAD1 and p-SMAD1.Results After transfection,the expression level of miR-129-1-3p in mimic group was significantly increased(P＜0.05),the number of mineralized nodules was significantly decreased,and the expression levels ofBMP2,Runt-related transcription factor 2(RUNX2),osteocalcin(OCN)mRNA were significantly down-regulated(P＜0.05).BMP2 and p-SMAD1 protein were also significantly down-regulated(P＜0.05)compared with Mimic-NC group.The expression levels of BMP2,RUNX2,OCN mRNA were significantly up-regulated in inhibitor group(P＜0.05)compared with Inhibitor-NC group.BMP2 and p-SMAD1 protein were significantly up-regulated in inhibitor group(P＜0.05).Conclusion miR-129-1-3p can inhibit the osteo-genic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells by suppressing BMP2/SMAD1 signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of rigid ureteroscopic laser lithotripsy combined with N-trap(RULL+N-trap),which is scoop-shaped,in the treatment of ureteral stones with a maximum diameter ≥1.5 cm.Methods:This retrospective cohort study included patients diagnosed with ureteral calculi who underwent rigid ureteroscopic lithotripsy(RULL)combined with N-Trap stone entrapment system at the Department of Urology,Peking University Third Hospital,by the same surgical team between June 2021 and September 2024.A total of 364 patients were initially enrolled.After excluding 21 patients due to missing critical outcome variables,two distinct cohorts were established:38 patients with ureteral stones measuring ≥1.5 cm in maximum diameter,and 305 patients with stones＜1.5 cm in maximum diameter.To minimize selection bias and control for confounding variables,propensity score matching(PSM)was employed.This resulted in two well-balanced groups:31 patients with stones 1.5 cm in maximum diameter and 31 patients with stones＜1.5 cm in maximum diameter,matched on baseline demographic and clinical characteristics.The primary outcomes assessed between the two groups included stone clearance.Secondary outcomes included changes in renal function indicators,specifically serum creatinine(SCr)and estimated glomerular filtration rate(GFR),and other factors like postopera-tive hospital stay and operative time.Results:In the matched cohort,the patients with stones ≥1.5 cm in maximum diameter had significantly longer operative time compared with those with smaller stones:(85.8±28.8)min vs.(62.4±24.6)min(P＜0.05).Postoperative length of hospital stay showed no significant difference:(2.26±1.79)d vs.(2.03±0.80)d(P＞0.05).The stone clearance on postoperative day one was 90.3％in the study group vs.100.0％in the control group(P＞0.05).One month postoperatively,the stone clearance was 93.5％vs.100.0％,respectively(P＞0.05).Changes in SCr were(-6.58±16.10)μmol/L vs.(-13.70±12.50)μmol/L,and changes in GFR were(5.92±14.90)mL/(min·1.73 m2)vs.(7.47±11.20)m L/(min·1.73 m2),with no statistically significant differences observed between the two groups for either renal function marker(P＞0.05).Conclusion:Ureteroscopic lithotripsy combined with N-trap is an optional method for treating ureteral stones with a maximum diameter ≥1.5 cm.The overall therapeutic efficacy is comparable,with the added benefit of significantly reducing the economic burden on patients.
