OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy and safety of Wuling capsules combined with fluoxetine in the treatment of adolescents with first-episode moderate-to-severe depressive disorder accompanied by insomnia. METHODS The clinical data of 476 adolescents with first-episode moderate-to-severe depression accompanied by insomnia admitted to our hospital from June 2022 to May 2025， were retrospectively collected. According to the initial treatment regimen， patients were divided into a control group （241 cases， treated with fluoxetine alone） and an observation group （235 cases， treated with Wuling capsules combined with fluoxetine）. The depression severity （Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-17 Item and the Self-Rating Depression Scale scores）， sleep quality （Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score， sleep latency， wake after sleep onset， total sleep time， sleep efficiency）， serum neuroendocrine indicator （cortisol） and inflammatory markers （C-reactive protein， interleukin-6） were compared between the two groups before treatment and at 4th and 8th weeks of treatment. The effective rate at 8th weeks and the occurrence of adverse drug reactions （ADRs） were also compared between the two groups. RESULTS Before treatment， there were no significant differences in depression severity， sleep quality， serum neuroendocrine indicator， and inflammatory markers between the two groups （ P ＞0.05）. At 4th and 8th weeks， both groups showed significant improvement in these indicators compared to those before treatment， with the observation group demonstrating significantly greater improvement than the control group at the corresponding time points （ P ＜0.05）. At 8th week， the eff ective rate of the observation group was 90.21%， significantly higher than 80.50% in the control group （ P ＜0.05）. The incidence of nausea， headache， fatigue， dry mouth， and palpitations， as well as the total incidence of ADRs， did not differ significantly between the two groups （ P ＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Wuling capsules combined with fluoxetine can significantly improve the effective rate in adolescents with first-episode moderate-to-severe depression accompanied by insomnia， accelerate the relief of depressive symptoms， improve sleep quality， and reduce serum neuroendocrine indicator and inflammatory markers， with a favorable safety profile.

Objective To develop a rehabilitation nursing model for knee osteoarthritis(KOA)of external treatment in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM).Methods Between February and June 2023,a preliminary KOA rehabilitation nursing model was developed through literature search and semi-structured interview method.Two rounds of Delphi consultations were conducted with the selected experts,to establish a rehabilitation nursing model for KOA of TCM external treatment.Results A total of 24 experts from different regions participated in the consultation.The final rehabilitation nursing model of TCM external treatment for KOA included 3 primary indicators,16 secondary indicators and 91 tertiary indicators.The response rates from the two rounds of expert consultation were 96.00%and 100.00%,respectively,and the rates of expert opinion proposal were 58.33%and 8.33%,respectively.The expert authority coefficient were 0.906 and 0.923.The two rounds of expert consultation were 0.137 and 0.236 in Kendall's coefficient of concordance(W),with statistically significant differences(both P<0.001).The importance scores of each item in the second inquiry ranged from 3.75 to 4.88,and the coefficient of variation ranged from 0.07 to 0.30,and the full score ratio ranged from 20.83%to 87.50%.Conclusion The rehabilitation nursing model for KOA of TCM external treatment developed in this study is significant,scientific and feasible.It provides a guidance for medical professionals.

The scientific research and innovation capabilities of medical students are intrinsically linked to the sustained and high-quality development of national healthcare initiatives.Cultivating outstanding medi-cal students with independent scientific capabilities and innovative consciousness is a critical component in the education and training of high-level medical professionals.Our investigation revealed that within the imperfections of the cultivating model,some faculty and students at medical schools have an insufficient understanding of scientific research and innovation and lack motivation for engaging in such activities,which hinder the progression of scientific research activities.Consequently,we initiated a teaching practice and exploratory study on the"tutorial system"aimed at fostering medical students'scientific research and innovation abilities.Based on the principle of"research informing teaching,teaching and research advan-cing together,"this study implements a"tutorial system"coordinated by tutors,supplemented by graduate and undergraduate student mentors,to cultivate innovative thinking,stimulate interest in scientific re-search,and enhance practical and research skills among medical students.Through collaborative efforts within"scientific research innovation teams,"various educational methods—including preliminary re-search,in-class and extracurricular activities,intra-group and inter-group interactions,and theoretical and practical applications—are employed to improve and strengthen the cultivation of medical students'scientif-ic research and innovation abilities.This study aims to provide valuable references for optimizing medical education management systems and enhancing the quality of medical student training.

As new evidence emerges, treatment strategies toward the functional cure of chronic hepatitis B are evolving. In 2019, a panel of national hepatologists published a Consensus Statement on the functional cure of chronic hepatitis B. Currently, an international group of hepatologists has been assembled to evaluate research since the publication of the original consensus, and to collaboratively develop the updated statements. The 2.0 Consensus was aimed to update the original consensus with the latest available studies, and provide a comprehensive overview of the current relevant scientific literatures regarding functional cure of hepatitis B, with a particular focus on issues that are not yet fully clarified. These cover the definition of functional cure of hepatitis B, its mechanisms and barriers, the effective strategies and treatment roadmap to achieve this endpoint, in particular new surrogate biomarkers used to measure efficacy or to predict response, and the appropriate approach to pursuing a functional cure in special populations, the development of emerging antivirals and immunomodulators with potential for curing hepatitis B. The statements are primarily intended to offer international guidance for clinicians in their practice to enhance the functional cure rate of chronic hepatitis B.
