Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic and fibrotic lethal interstitial lung disease with poor prognosis. It is mainly treated by organ transplantation and administration of chemical drugs, which have poor efficacy and induce side effects, failing to meet the clinical needs. Therefore, it is urgent to develop more safe and effective drugs to treat IPF. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has garnered increasing attention in recent years in the treatment of IPF due to its unique advantages. Increasing studies have shown that TCM has remarkable therapeutic effects on IPF and thus demonstrate broad application prospects. Modern medical research shows that the pathogenesis of IPF can be discussed from inflammation (macrophage polarization), oxidative stress, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), autophagy inhibition and other related signaling pathways, while few studies systematically explain the relationship between the signaling pathways and TCM theory. According to the theory of TCM, lung collateral obstruction is the basic pathogenesis of IPF. Therefore, according to the principle of dredging and replenishing lung collaterals, IPF can be treated with the methods of reinforcing healthy qi and eliminating pathogen, replenishing qi and activating blood, and detoxifying and dredging collaterals, which demonstrate definite curative effect and can effectively relieve clinical symptoms, restore the lung function and blood oxygen partial pressure, improve the quality of life of patients, and reduce adverse reactions. Experimental studies have found that dredging and replenishing lung collaterals have significant effects on IPF inflammation (macrophage polarization), oxidative stress, EMT, autophagy inhibition and other signaling pathways. Therefore, from the perspective of impediment, this article reviews pathogenesis of IPF, the research progress in TCM treatment of IPF, and the treatment of IPF from active components, single herbs, and compound prescriptions of TCM, with the aim of revealing the scientific connotation of the treatment of IPF from impediment and providing a new theoretical basis for enriching the TCM methods of treating IPF.

Objective To investigate the current status of nurses'knowledge,attitude and practice regarding sleep management of critically ill children in pediatric ICU,and to analyze its impact factors.Methods A self-designed questionnaire on general information and a questionnaire on knowledge and practical behaviors of pediatric ICU nurses on child's sleep management were used.In March 2023,902 pediatric ICU nurses from 24 hospitals in China were surveyed using a convenient sampling method,and the impact factors were analyzed using multiple stepwise linear regression.Results 893 valid questionnaires were collected and the recovery rate of valid questionnaires was 99.00%.Nurses in pediatric ICU scored(33.71±7.76)in knowledge dimension,(37.38±4.86)in attitude dimension and(80.60±16.78)in practice dimension,with a total score of(151.78±24.27).The scores of knowledge and attitude,knowledge and practice,attitude and practice are all positively correlated(r=0.393,P<0.001;r=0.495,P<0.001;r=0.320,P<0.001).The results of multiple stepwise linear regression analysis showed that gender,region,whether they had received sleep management training were the influencing factors of pediatric ICU nurses'total score of knowledge,attitude and practice towards children's sleep management(P<0.05).Conclusion Nurses in pediatric ICU are positive about sleep management for critically ill children,but their knowledge and practice levels need to improve.Nursing managers should strengthen the theoretical knowledge and practical behavioral training of pediatric ICU nurses on child sleep management,develop scientific sleep management plans,and guide nurses to make reasonable evaluation and interventions to improve children's sleep quality.

Objective To retrieve,appraise and integrate the relevant evidence of non-pharmacological sleep management measures in critically ill children.Methods We conducted a systematical search on the topic of non-pharmacological sleep management measures in critically ill children across multiple databases,including BMJ best practice,UpToDate,International Guidelines International Network,National Institute for Health and Care Excellence,Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network,Registered Nurses'Association of Ontario,Joanna Briggs Institute Library,the American Academy of Sleep Medicine,International Pediatric Sleep Association,CNKI,WanFang database,VIP database,SinoMed,Cochrane Library,PubMed,Web of Science,and CINAHL.The literature retrieval time limit was from the establishment of the database to February 2023.The study design includes clinical practice guideline,evidence summary,clinical decision-making,expert consensus,and systematic review.The evidence was extracted and summarized according to the subject after the independent literature quality evaluation by 2 researchers.Results 10 relevant pieces of literature were identified,including 2 guidelines,1 consensus statement,4 systematic reviews,2 evidence summaries,and 1 top clinical decision.These sources provided a total of 28 pieces of evidence across 5 key themes,including sleep assessment,management principles and education,environmental management and sleep promotion.Conclusion This study summarizes the best available evidence on non-pharmacological sleep management measures in critically ill children.It is recommended that healthcare professionals should consider the clinical context when implementing evidence-based interventions,aiming to reduce nocturnal awakenings,extend sleep duration,and improve sleep quality in critically ill children.

Percutaneous vertebroplasty has many advantages such as minimal trauma, simple mode of operation, rapid and correct therapeutic effect, high safety, and wide indications. Therefore it has been generally paid close attention and accepted. Percutaneous vertebroplasty has conspicuous curative effect, especially in vertebral compression fracture. Polymethyl methacrylate is the most used filling materials at present; There is not significant difference between unipedicular and bipedicular vertebroplasty; Using vertebral body venography and appropriate dense bone cement can reduce leakage of bone cement; Bolster for self-replacement can rebound vertebral body height, and balloon kyphoplasty and sky bone expander kyphoplasty can be avoided; In order to reduce refracture of vertebral body, anti-osteoporosis drugs should be used in the treatment of percutaneous vertebroplasty.
