This paper summarizes Professor LIU Shangyi's clinical experience in treating acute mastitis based on the "membrane collaterals" theory. It is considered that constraint and stagnation of the membrane collaterrals is the primary pathogenic factor， with damp， heat， phlegm， and stasis being the secondary manifestations. If untreated， the condition can progress to heat toxin injuring the membrane. In treatment， the emphasis is diffusing and unblocking membrane collaterals， unblocking breast and relieving constraint. The clinical course of the disease can be divided into three stages including the early stage with mild constraint heat， the middle stage with escalating toxic heat， and the later stage with a decline of pathogens but deficiency of healthy qi. In correspondence， self-made Tongru Formula （通乳方） for diffusing membrane and venting constraint， self-made Toumo Jiedu Formula （透膜解毒方） for unblocking membrane and relieving toxin， and Tuoli Xiaodu Powder （托里消毒散） with modifications for restoring membrane and rectifying healthy qi should be used， respectively.

ObjectiveTo investigate the risk factors for post-acute pancreatitis diabetes mellitus （PPDM-A） in patients with acute pancreatitis （AP）， to construct a nomogram prediction model， and to provide a reference for the development of individualized treatment regimens. MethodsA total of 351 patients with AP who were admitted to Xuzhou Municipal Hospital Affiliated to Xuzhou Medical University from June 2021 to January 2025 were prospectively enrolled， and they were randomly divided into modeling group with 246 patients and validation group with 105 patients at a ratio of 7∶3. According to the presence or absence of PPDM-A in the patients with AP， the modeling group was further divided into PPDM-A group with 86 patients and non-PPDM-A group with 160 patients. Clinical data were collected from all patients. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator （LASSO） regression analysis was used to determine independent variables， and a Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the influencing factors for PPDM-A. R software was used to construct a nomogram model. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to assess the discriminatory ability of the model， and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test was used to test the model fitting degree， and the calibration curve was used to evaluate the model consistency； and decision curve analysis （DCA） was used to assess its clinical application value. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups， and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. ResultsAmong the 246 patients， 86 developed PPDM-A， resulting in an incidence rate of 34.96%. There were significant differences between the PPDM-A group and the non-PPDM-A group in the proportion of patients with an age of ≥60 years （65.12% vs 40.62%， P<0.05）， male sex （75.58% vs 55.63%， P<0.05）， a body mass index （BMI） of ≥24 kg/m² （63.95% vs 37.50%， P<0.05）， alcoholic AP （56.98% vs 36.87%， P<0.05）， moderate-to-severe AP （54.65% vs 35.00%， P<0.05）， or a computed tomography severity index （CTSI） score of ≥4 points （48.84% vs 28.75%， P<0.05）， as well as significant differences in the levels of blood calcium （1.46±0.35 mmol/L vs 1.89±0.37 mmol/L， P<0.05） and random blood glucose （Glu） （17.68±4.12 mmol/L vs 11.68±4.27 mmol/L， P<0.05）. The LASSO regression analysis obtained 8 independent variables. The Logistic regression analysis showed that age， sex， BMI， alcoholic AP， moderate-to-severe AP， CTSI score， and Glu were risk factors for PPDM-A （all P<0.05）， while blood calcium was a protective factor （P<0.05）. The model had an area under the ROC curve （AUC） of 0.932 （95% confidence interval ［CI］： 0.903 — 0.962） in the modeling group， and the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test yielded χ²=7.346 （P=0.728）， the accuracy of model fitting was good； the calibration curve showed that the predicted probability was consistent with the actual probability， indicating that the consistency was good. The model had an AUC of 0.835 （95%CI： 0.753 — 0.917） in the validation group， and the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test yielded χ²=7.014 （P=0.711）， the accuracy of model fitting was good； the calibration curve showed that the predicted probability was consistent with the actual probability， indicating that the consistency was good. The DCA results of the modeling group showed that the model exhibited a high clinical value in evaluating PPDM-A when the threshold probability was 0.13 — 0.94. ConclusionAge， sex， BMI， alcoholic AP， moderate-to-severe AP， blood calcium， CTSI score， and Glu are influencing factors for PPDM-A. The nomogram model constructed based on the above influencing factors shows good performance in predicting the risk of PPDM-A and can thus provide a reference for developing prevention strategies for PPDM-A in clinical practice.

ObjectiveTo clarify the anti-inflammatory and lung-protective effects of Yantiao prescription on lipopolysaccharide （LPS）-induced acute lung injury （ALI）， and to explore the impact of Yantiao prescription on the metabolic pathways of arachidonic acid （AA） in vivo. MethodsThirty male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into the following groups based on body weight： normal group， model group， dexamethasone group （2 mg·kg^-1）， low-dose Yantiao prescription group （18 g·kg^-1）， and high-dose Yantiao prescription group （36 g·kg^-1）， with 6 mice in each group. The ALI mouse model was established by intraperitoneal injection of LPS. The treatment groups received oral gavage once a day for 7 consecutive days， and serum and lung tissue were collected at the end of the experiment. The content of pro-inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， and interleukin-6 （IL-6） in serum was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to assess lung tissue pathology. The wet/dry weight ratio （W/D） and myeloperoxidase （MPO） activity in lung tissue were measured. The content of AA metabolites in serum and lung tissue was measured by liquid chromatography triple quadrupole-mass spectrometry （LC-MS/MS）. ResultsCompared with the conditions in the normal group， the content of serum pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α， IL-1β， and IL-6 in the model group was significantly increased （P<0.01）. The alveolar structure in mice was severely damaged， with markedly thickened alveolar walls and extensive inflammatory cell infiltration. The W/D ratio and MPO activity in lung tissue were significantly increased （P<0.01）. The content of AA metabolites， including prostaglandin D₂ （PGD₂）， prostaglandin E₂ （PGE₂）， 11（S）-hydroxy-eicosatetraenoic acid ［11（S）-HETE］， and 5-hydroxy-eicosatetraenoic acid （5-HETE） in serum and lung tissue was significantly increased （P<0.05）， while the content of 11，12-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid （11，12-EET） and 14，15-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid （14，15-EET） in serum was significantly decreased （P<0.01）. Compared with the results in the model group， the content of serum pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α， IL-1β， and IL-6 in the dexamethasone group， low-dose Yantiao prescription group， and high-dose Yantiao prescription group was significantly reduced （P<0.05）. Mild thickening of alveolar walls， scattered inflammatory cell infiltration， and relatively intact tissue structure with improved alveolar architecture were observed. The W/D ratio and MPO activity in lung tissue were significantly reduced （P<0.01）. The content of AA metabolites PGD₂， PGE₂， 11（S）-HETE， and 5-HETE in serum from the dexamethasone group was significantly decreased （P<0.05）， while the content of 14，15-EET in serum significantly increased （P<0.01）， and the content of 5-HETE in lung tissue significantly decreased （P<0.01）. In the low-dose and high-dose Yantiao prescription groups， the content of AA metabolites PGD₂， PGE₂， 11（S）-HETE， and 5-HETE in serum and lung tissue was significantly decreased （P<0.05）， while the content of 11，12-EET in both serum and lung tissue was significantly increased （P<0.05）. ConclusionYantiao prescription has significant protective effects against LPS-induced ALI， which are related to its regulation of AA metabolic pathways in vivo.

Cervical spinal cord injury without fracture-dislocation (CSCIWFD) is referred to as a special type of cervical spinal cord injury characterized by traumatic spinal cord dysfunction and no significant bony structural abnormalities on imagines. Duo to the high risk of missed diagnosis during the initial consultation, CSCIWFD may lead to progressive neurological deterioration or even complete paralysis, severely impacting patients′ prognosis. Currently, there are no established consensuses over the diagnosis and treatment of CSCIWFD, such as the lack of evidence-based standards for indications of non-surgical treatment and risk of secondary neurological injury, as well as debates over the optimal timing for surgical intervention and indications for different surgical approaches. To address these issues, the Spine Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the relevant fields to formulate Diagnosis and treatment guideline for acute cervical spinal cord injury without fracture- dislocation in adults ( version 2025) . Based on evidence-based medicine and the principles of scientific rigor and clinical applicability, the guidelines proposed 11 recommendations covering terminology, diagnosis, evaluation treatment, and rehabilitation, etc., aiming to standardize the management of CSCIWFD.

Vertebral refracture following percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) is commonly seen in elderly patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures (OTLCF). It can lead to recurrent pain, loss of vertebral height, progression of kyphosis, and even neurological dysfunction, significantly impairing patients′ quality of life. Current diagnosis and treatment face multiple challenges, including high misdiagnosis rate, difficulty in choosing between surgical and non-surgical treatment options, lack of standardized surgical protocols, interference from intralesional bone cement during procedures, inadequate stability of internal fixation in osteoporotic bone, and suboptimal compliance of anti-osteoporotic therapy. Establishing a standardized diagnostic and therapeutic framework is urgently needed. To standardize the management process and improve outcomes for vertebral refractures after PVA in elderly OTLCF patients, Spinal Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the field to develop Guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of vertebral refracture after percutaneous vertebral augmentation in elderly patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures ( version 2025), based on current literature and clinical experience, and adhering to principles of scientific rigor and clinical applicability. A total of 11 recommendations were proposed, encompassing diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of vertebral refracture after PVA in elderly patients with OTLCF, aiming to provide a foundation for a standardized management.

Thoracolumbar spine fracture often leads to severe pain, functional impairments, and neurological deficits, for which open reduction and internal fixation can effectively restore the spinal structural stability. Open decompression and reduction with internal fixation can help relieve spinal cord compression and improve spinal function in cases of concomitant cord injury. Although spinal stability can be restored through surgery, patients often face chronic pain and functional impairments postoperatively. A postoperative rehabilitation program is critical in optimizing therapeutic outcomes, reducing complications, and minimizing the risk of secondary injuries. However, current rehabilitation methods, such as physical therapy, functional training, and pain management, are confronted with problems in clinical practice, including significant variation in efficacy, poor patient adherence, and prolonged rehabilitation period. There is an urgent need for a unified rehabilitation strategy to address these problems. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Physicians Branch of the Chinese Medical Association and the Spine Health Professional Committee of the Chinese Human Health Technology Promotion Association organized experts from relevant fields to formulate Evidence-based guidelines for rehabilitation treatment after internal fixation of thoracolumbar spine fracture in adults ( version 2025) by integrating evidences from clinical researches and advanced rehabilitation concepts at home and abroad. A total number of 14 recommendations concerning the rehabilitation treatment with multimodal analgesia, psychological intervention, deep vein thrombosis prevention, core muscle and extremity exercise, appropriate use of braces, early weight-bearing, device-aided rehabilitation exercise, neuroregulatory therapy, rehabilitation team were put forward, aiming to standardize the post-operative rehabilitation process following internal fixation, promote the functional recovery, and enhance patients′ quality of life.

Acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fracture (ASOTLF) can lead to chronic low back pain, kyphosis deformity, pulmonary dysfunction, loss of mobility, and even life-threatening complications. Vertebral augmentation is currently the mainstream treatment method for this condition. In 2019, the Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma and the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association collaboratively led the development of Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation for acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures. Six years later, with advances in clinical diagnosis and treatment techniques as well as accumulating evidence in related fields, the 2019 guideline requires updating. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, the Spinal Health Professional Committee of China Human Health Science and Technology Promotion Association, and the Minimally Invasive Orthopedics Professional Committee of Shaanxi Medical Doctor Association have organized experts in the field to develop the Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation of acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures ( version 2025) , based on the latest evidence-based medical researches. This guideline incorporates 3 recommendations retained from the 2019 version with updated strength of evidence, along with 12 new recommendations. It provides recommendations from six aspects of diagnosis, pain management, treatment option selection, prevention of postoperative complications, anti-osteoporosis therapy, and postoperative rehabilitation, aiming to provide a reference for standard treatment of vertebral augmentation for ASOTLF in hospitals at all levels.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between susceptibility to hearing loss in noise-exposed Han Chinese male homo sapiens and glutathione S-transferase (GST) gene polymorphisms, providing a scientific basis for further understanding the pathogenic mechanisms of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) and screening for genetic susceptibility biomarkers.Methods:In May 2024, a cross-sectional survey was conducted to recruit 332 male Han workers exposed to noise from a prominent mechanical maintenance enterprise. Workers were classified into the hearing loss group if they exhibited a binaural high-frequency average hearing threshold exceeding 25 dB and a binaural speech frequency average hearing threshold loss that was less than the binaural high-frequency average hearing threshold loss, resulting in a total of 332 individuals in this group. Furthermore, a matched group of 332 hearing-normal workers was established on a 1∶1 basis for each hearing-impaired worker, using criteria such as the same job type, age, and a noise exposure duration of ≤4 years. Basic data of worker was collected through a questionnaire survey, and individual noise exposure levels were assessed using cumulative noise exposure (CNE). Various PCR and high-throughput sequencing techniques were employed to identify polymorphisms in the GSTT1, GSTM1, and GSTP1rs1695 genes. The basic information and genotypes of the two groups were compared using paired t-tests and paired chi-square tests. A Cox regression model was utilized to establish a 1∶1 paired logistic regression model to examine the correlation between GST gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to NIHL. Results:Individuals with GSTM1 and GSTT1 gene deletion are more susceptible to NIHL compared to those with existing genes, even after adjusting for other factors ( OR=1.464, 95% CI: 1.02-2.09; OR=0.68, 95% CI: 1.06-2.02). Wearing protective equipment occasionally, rather than consistently, significantly increases the risk of NIHL ( OR=1.38, 95% CI: 1.01-1.88). There was no link between GSTP1rs1695 polymorphism and NIHL risk ( P>0.05) . Conclusion:The deletion of GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes is an independent influencing factor that increases the risk of NIHL, and can be considered as a genetic susceptibility biomarker for the NIHL population. Strengthening personal hearing protection is an effective measure to reduce the risk of NIHL.

Objective To investigate the interaction relationship among symptoms in middle-aged patients during the recovery period of stroke and explore its correlation with rehabilitation confidence,providing a reference for the implementation of precise rehabilitation nursing.Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted,and 365 middle-aged patients in the recovery period of stroke who were hospitalized in 4 tertiary general hospitals in Wuhan from April 20 to August 31,2024 were conveniently selected as the subjects of the investigation.Data were collected using the General Information Questionnaire,Stroke Symptom Experience Scale,and Confidence after Stroke Measure Questionnaire.Symptom network analysis was conducted using R software,and a network structure model of symptoms-rehabilitation confidence was constructed;meanwhile,the stability of the network structure was evaluated.Results Finally,350 middle-aged stroke patients in the recovery period were included.The most common symptom was"limb weakness"(81.1％).Symptom network analysis showed that"limited limb movement"was the core symptom(rs=1.118).The symptoms strongly associated with recovery confidence were"limited physical movement","annoyance at not being able to do what you want to do"and"slow reaction times".Stability tests suggest that the model results are all good.Conclusion Symptoms of middle-aged patients in the recovery period after stroke are interrelated,and the mechanisms by which different symptoms affect rehabilitation confidence are also different.It is recommended that healthcare professionals prioritize interventions based on core symptoms and inter-symptom relationships in order to accurately enhance patient outcomes and improve recovery outcomes.

Objective To explore the temporal characteristics and correlation between active exercise rehabilitation behaviour and related symptoms in middle-aged chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)patients,and to provide a basis for constructing a full cycle precision rehabilitation management system.Methods The ecological momentary assessment method was used to select 63 middle-aged COPD patients from the respiratory and critical care medicine department of a tertiary comprehensive hospital in Wuhan from October 15 to December 1,2024,using convenience sampling.Their active exercise rehabilitation behaviour(number of exercise projects,duration)and related symptoms(dyspnea,fatigue,anxiety)were continuously monitored for a week by using baseline survey,daily active exercise rehabilitation behavior assessment questionnaire,daily symptom assessment questionnaire.A multi-layer linear model was used to analyze the dynamic correlation between active exercise rehabilitation behaviour and symptoms.Results 58 patients were included.During the 1-week ecological momentary assessment,the system triggered a total of 1,218 momentary assessments and obtained 1,120 valid responses(with the valid response rate of 91.95％),with patients completing an average of(2.76±0.39)assessments per day.Multilevel linear models showed that momentary dyspnoea,fatigue,anxiety symptoms and baseline kinesiophobia all significantly negatively influenced active exercise rehabilitation behaviour(P＜0.05).Conclusion There are dynamic changes in the active exercise rehabilitation behaviour and related symptoms of middle-aged COPD patients.Nursing staff should establish a precise rehabilitation intervention system based on symptom fluctuations,strengthen patient self-management efficiency through dynamic monitoring and hierarchical management,and achieve long-term optimization of lung rehabilitation effects.
