In the development of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM), the concept of "preventive treatment of disease" has a long history and plays a crucial role in bridging the past and the future. With the continuous growth of public health needs and the ongoing transformation of the registration management of TCM, its position in the research and development of new drugs has become increasingly significant. As one of the important sources of new drug innovation, the new TCM for "preventive treatment of diseases" represents a new thinking proposed based on the current routine registration and research and development. The research and development of TCM for "preventive treatment of diseases" mainly cover four stages: prevention(before the onset of disease), early intervention(when the disease is about to occur), interruption and reversal(when the disease has already occurred), and prevention of recurrence after recovery(after the disease). This study aims to comprehensively analyze the positioning, key points, and difficulties in the research and development of TCM for "preventive treatment of diseases" and explore effective paths to promote the innovative development of TCM through relevant cases. The research and development of new TCM for "preventive treatment of disease" require researchers to seize the opportunities for innovation before the start of the research and development, accurately grasp the key issues at different stages, and pay attention to the full lifecycle evaluation of the drugs. Meanwhile, in the design of the research plan, the optimal effectiveness evaluation indicators should be explored; key and difficult areas such as chronic diseases and rare diseases should be taken seriously, and the limitations of new drug development only based on the diagnosed diseases should be broken, so as to cater to more patients. In addition, through relevant representative cases in China and abroad, the unique advantages of TCM for "preventive treatment of diseases" should be fully leveraged. By learning from the past, all aspects of key points in the evaluation of new drug research and development should be strengthened. Finally, this study proposed that TCM for "preventive treatment of diseases" can employ novel methods and advanced technologies such as new biomarkers and innovative clinical design protocols, as well as new perspectives on disease research and health management. This can provide new paths for the innovation of TCM and public health management.

This study established the HPLC fingerprints, characteristic chromatograms, and a multi-component content determination method for Bidens bipinnata and B. biternata. The chemical pattern recognition analysis was then employed to clarify the characteristic indexes of quality differences between the two original plants of Bidentis Herba, providing a reference for establishing the quality standards of Bidentis Herba. HPLC was launched on an Agilent Poroshell 120 EC-C_(18) chromatographic column(4.6 mm×250 mm, 4 μm) by gradient elution with a mobile phase of 0.1% aqueous phosphoric acid-acetonitrile at a flow rate of 0.7 mL·min~(-1), detection wavelength of 270 nm, column temperature of 25 ℃, and an injection volume of 5 μL. The similarity between the fingerprints of 18 batches of Bidentis Herba samples and the common pattern(R) ranged from 0.572 to 0.933. A total of 23 chromatographic peaks were calibrated. Through comparison with the reference substances, six components(neochlorogenic acid, chlorogenic acid, isochlorogenic acid A, isochlorogenic acid B, rutin, and hyperoside) were identified and subjected to quantitative analysis. The characteristic fingerprints of B. bipinnata and B. biternata were calibrated with 20 and 17 characteristic peaks, respectively. Among them, peaks 8, 9, 22, and 23 were the characteristic peaks of B. bipinnata, and peak 7 was the characteristic peak of B. biternata, which can be used to distinguish the two original plants of Bidentis Herba. The relative standard deviation of the content of the above-mentioned six components ranged from 36% to 123%. The cluster analysis, principal component analysis, and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA) classified the 18 batches of Bidentis Herba samples into two categories. Additionally, through the analysis of variable importance in projection(VIP) under OPLS-DA, three characteristic indexes, rutin, isochlorogenic acid A, and isochlorogenic acid B, were identified. The analytical method established in this study can comprehensively evaluate the consistency of Bidentis Herba samples derived from different original plants, specifically identify the differential components between them, and effectively distinguish the two original plants of Bidentis Herba, providing a basis for the differentiation between different original plants and the quality control of Bidentis Herba.

Objective To investigate the drug resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis(MT)in Shaanxi Province in the past five years.Methods A total of 744 patients with culture-positive sputum specimens at the former Shaanxi Provincial Institute for Tuberculosis Control and Prevention from January 2019 to December 2023 were selected as the study subjects,and the results of their strain identification and drug susceptibility tests were collected to analyze the resistance to six antituberculosis drugs.Results The overall resistance rate of the MT complex of 726 strains was 33.33%(242/726).The rates of mono-resistance,multi-resistance,multi-drug resistance and extensive resistance were 12.95%(94/726),7.44%(54/726),12.95%(94/726)and 0.41%(3/726).The resistance rate was 31.73%(204/643)in primaries and 45.78%(38/83)in retreatment patients,and the difference between the resistance rates of primaries and retreatment patients was statistically significant(χ2=6.536,P=0.011).The resistance rates of the 6 antituberculosis drugs,in descending order,were as follows:streptomycin(SM)22.87%(166/726),isoniazid(INH)22.73%(165/726),rifampicin(RFP)15.15%(110/726),ofloxacin(OFX)9.09%(66/726),ethambutol(EMB)7.30%(53/726),kanamycin(KM)2.89%(21/726).The resistance rates for each year from 2019～2023 were 39.61%(61/154),33.33%(44/132),34.47%(81/235),24.54%(40/163)and 38.10%(16/42),respectively,and the difference in resistance rates between years was not statistically significant(χ2=8.967,P=0.062).Conclusion The burden of drug-resistant tuberculosis remains heavy in Shaanxi,and the situation of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis,in particular,is more serious,and control measures need to be strengthened and improved to reduce the incidence and spread of drug-resistant tuberculosis.

Severe open tibiofibular fractures account for approximately 28.1% of all open fractures. Among them, Gustilo-Anderson type IIIB/C fractures present significant clinical challenges due to associated bone and soft tissue defects, high infection rates, and risk of amputation. Inadequate preoperative assessment may lead to suboptimal emergency surgical planning or intraoperative complications. Historically, external fixation was often preferred, but this approach has been associated with limitations such as restricted joint mobility, delayed bone union, joint stiffness, and disuse osteoporosis, resulting in poor functional recovery. With advancements of debridement techniques, standardization of antibiotic use, and popularization of early soft tissue coverage, early internal fixation has gained broader acceptance. Nevertheless, controversies persist regarding the choice of fixation method, timing of definitive fixation, use of reamed versus unreamed intramedullary nailing, and necessity of fibular fixation. To standardize the diagnosis and early management of severe open tibiofibular fractures, reduce complication rates, and improve functional recovery, the Society of Microsurgery of the Chinese Medical Association organized a panel of domestic experts to develop the Evidence-based guideline for the diagnosis and early fixation of severe open tibiofibular fractures ( version 2025), using evidence-based methodology. The guidelines provided 12 recommendations covering diagnostic and early fixation strategies of severe open tibiofibular fractures, aiming to provide clinicians with scientifically grounded and standardized guidance.

Objective To construct a perioperative nursing intervention scheme for patients undergoing hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy(HAIC)via brachial artery access and to discuss its clinical application.Methods By using systematic literature search method,a perioperative nursing intervention scheme was constructed.A total of 90 patients with confirmed hepatic malignancy,who were admitted to hospital to receive HAIC from February 2022 to August 2023,were collected to validate this perioperative nursing intervention scheme,and its clinical application effect was evaluated.Results Through two rounds of expert letter inquiry,a nursing intervention scheme containing five primary indicators and 16 secondary indicators was finally formulated.The clinical validation was conducted.After the implementation of this nursing intervention scheme,the incidences of phlebitis and limb swelling in the intervention group decreased from previous 17.78％ to post-intervention 2.22％ and from previous 33.33％ to post-intervention 8.89％,respectively.The patient's anxiety level and depressed mood were significantly improved;the HADS scores decreased by 35.2％and 36.6％,respectively;the EORTC QLQ-C30 scores in the dimensions of somatic,role,emotional,and social functioning were obviously improved and the quality of life was strikingly improved(all P＜0.05).Besides,in the patients of the intervention group the clinical symptoms(e.g.pain,nausea,etc.)were significant alleviated,and the severity of the symptoms as well as the degree of distress to the patients were significantly reduced,indicating that the nursing intervention plays an important role in relieving the symptoms,anxiety and depression of the patients.Conclusion The perioperative nursing intervention scheme constructed in this study for patients undergoing AIC via brachial artery access is scientific and practical,it provides an important reference basis for the therapeutic nursing care of patients with hepatic malignancy.
