Objective To explore the application effect of a standardized management method based on failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) in optimizing the whole-process quality control system of the intravenous admixture service (PIVAS). Methods The quality control management system of the PIVAS was optimized by establishing six quality control groups led by the head nurse, with full participation of pharmacy, nursing, and logistical staff, ensuring comprehensive coverage and traceability of all quality control links. Each group conducted risk priority number (RPN) scoring for potential failure modes in their respective quality control processes, and targeted improvement measures were formulated based on the scoring results. The RPN values of failure modes and quality control-related evaluation indicators before and after implementation were compared to achieve closed-loop management. Results After one year of management, the RPN values of the six major failure modes significantly decreased compared to those before implementation (P<0.05). The compounding error rate dropped to 0.13%, the dispensing error rate decreased to 0.95%, the compounding efficiency increased to 98%, the delivery time was shortened by 0.45 h per batch, the intervention rate for irrational prescriptions rose to 94.87%, satisfaction improved to 96.78%, and the participation rate of quality control personnel reached 95.36% (P<0.05). Conclusion FMEA-based identification of potential failure modes in the whole-process quality control system of the IVAS, combined with risk quantification and targeted interventions, significantly reduced high-risk failure modes, improved compounding accuracy and efficiency, and ensured the safety of clinical intravenous medication and the effectiveness of healthcare quality management.

Lung cancer constitutes the most prevalent and lethal malignant tumor in China. Approximately 85% of lung cancer diagnoses correspond to the non-small cell histological subtype [non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)]. Despite surgery being the mainstay for early-stage disease, postoperative recurrence remains high and adjuvant chemotherapy offers limited benefit. In recent years, targeted therapy has demonstrated substantial advantages in driver mutation-positive NSCLC. To this end, the Lung Cancer Medical Education Committee of the Chinese Medical Education Association developed guidelines based on a systematic review of evidence through November 2025, using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE) approach and a modified Delphi method. Focusing on epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), and addressing ROS proto-oncogene 1 (ROS1), B-Raf proto-oncogene serine/threonine kinase (BRAF) V600E mutation, and mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (MET) exon 14 (METex14) skipping, the guideline covers molecular testing, neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy, perioperative strategies, minimal residual disease monitoring, and postoperative surveillance. It defines testing requirements, specifies stage-directed and subtype-specific treatments, and standardizes minimal residual disease monitoring. These recommendations emphasize precision and feasibility to improve survival and quality of life.

Objective To investigate the global burden of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) from 1990 to 2021 and predict the trends in the burden of VL from 2022 to 2035, so as to provide insights into global VL prevention and control. Methods The global age-standardized incidence, prevalence, mortality and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) rates of VL and their 95% uncertainty intervals (UI) were captured from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 (GBD 2021) data resources. The trends in the global burden of VL were evaluated with average annual percent change (AAPC) and 95% confidence interval (CI) from 1990 to 2021, and gender-, age-, country-, geographical area- and socio-demographic index (SDI)-stratified burdens of VL were analyzed. The trends in the global burden of VL were projected with a Bayesian age-period-cohort (BAPC) model from 2022 to 2035, and the associations of age-standardized incidence, prevalence, mortality, and DALYs rates of VL with SDI levels were examined with a smoothing spline model. Results The global age-standardized incidence [AAPC = -0.25%, 95% CI: (-0.25%, -0.24%)], prevalence [AAPC = -0.06%, 95% CI: (-0.06%, -0.06%)], mortality [AAPC = -0.25%, 95% CI: (-0.25%, -0.24%)] and DALYs rates of VL [AAPC = -2.38%, 95% CI: (-2.44%, -2.33%)] all appeared a tendency towards a decline from 1990 to 2021, and the highest age-standardized incidence [2.55/105, 95% UI: (1.49/105, 4.07/105)], prevalence [0.64/105, 95% UI: (0.37/105, 1.02/105)], mortality [0.51/105, 95% UI: (0, 1.80/105)] and DALYs rates of VL [33.81/105, 95% UI: (0.06/105, 124.09/105)] were seen in tropical Latin America in 2021. The global age-standardized incidence and prevalence of VL were both higher among men [0.57/105, 95% UI: (0.45/105, 0.72/105); 0.14/105, 95% UI: (0.11/105, 0.18/105)] than among women [0.27/105, 95% UI: (0.21/105, 0.33/105); 0.06/105, 95% UI: (0.05/105, 0.08/105)], and the highest mortality of VL was found among children under 5 years of age [0.24/105, 95% UI: (0.08/105, 0.66/105)]. The age-standardized incidence (r = -0.483, P < 0.001), prevalence (r = -0.483, P < 0.001), mortality (r = -0.511, P < 0.001) and DALYs rates of VL (r = -0.514, P < 0.001) correlated negatively with SDI levels from 1990 to 2021. In addition, the global burden of VL was projected with the BAPC model to appear a tendency towards a decline from 2022 to 2035, and the age-standardized incidence, prevalence, mortality and DALYs rates were projected to be reduced to 0.11/105, 0.03/105, 0.02/105 and 1.44/105 in 2035, respectively. Conclusions Although the global burden of VL appeared an overall tendency towards a decline from 1990 to 2021, the burden of VL showed a tendency towards a rise in Central Asia and western sub-Saharan African areas. The age-standardized incidence and prevalence rates of VL were relatively higher among men, and the age-standardized mortality of VL was relatively higher among children under 5 years of age. The global burden of VL was projected to continue to decline from 2022 to 2035.

ObjectiveTo understand the current situation of medical damage liability disputes involving breach of the duty to inform in China, analyze the factors influencing the types of medical staff’s breach of the duty to inform, and explore the notification problems of medical staff in clinical practice. On these foundations, suggestions were proposed to improve the performance of the duty to inform and reduce medical disputes. MethodsUsing public cases from the China Judgements Online as the data source, the relationship between risk points and types of breach of duty to inform was analyzed using the Chi-square test. Logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the influencing factors of the types of breach of the duty to inform, and qualitative research summarized the specific contents of breach of the duty to inform. ResultsThere were differences in the effects of factors, including whether the patient was hospitalized, whether surgery was performed, whether Intensive Care Unit (ICU) treatment was required, the level of the medical institution, and whether a consultation occurred, on the types of breach of the duty to inform (P<0.05). Whether surgery was performed was an influencing factor for the types of breach of the duty to inform. Qualitative research showed that the contents of breach of duty to inform primarily involve risk, treatment plan, and deficiencies in disease notification. ConclusionStrengthening the performance of the medical staff’s duty to inform should mainly focus on the medical side, coordinating with multiple parties and taking measures to improve the performance of the duty to inform, to reduce unnecessary medical disputes.

Objective:
This study aimed to explore the correlation between balance function and core muscle activation in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), compared to healthy individuals.
Methods:
A total of 24 AIS patients and 25 healthy controls were recruited. The limits of stability (LOS) test were conducted to assess balance function, while surface electromyography was used to measure the activity of core muscles, including the internal oblique, external oblique, and multifidus. Diaphragm thickness was measured using ultrasound during different postural tasks. Center of pressure (COP) displacement and trunk inclination distance were also recorded during the LOS test.
Results:
AIS patients showed significantly greater activation of superficial core muscles, such as the internal and external oblique muscles, compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Diaphragm activation was lower in AIS patients during balance tasks (p < 0.01). Although no significant difference was observed in COP displacement between the groups, trunk inclination was significantly greater in the AIS group during certain tasks (p < 0.05).
Conclusion
These findings suggest distinct postural control patterns in AIS patients, highlighting the importance of targeted interventions to improve balance and core muscle function in this population.

With the rapid development of network technology, live surgery has become the new way of surgery teaching. However, the issue of patient privacy protection caused by live surgery has received widespread attention. Based on the evolutionary game theory, this paper constructed an evolutionary game model from the three-party perspectives of doctors, patients, and government and analyzed the game behaviors of the three parties in the process of live surgery. Matlab software was utilized to conduct dynamic simulation and numerical simulation analysis. It was found that the factors affecting the choice of doctors’ strategies included protection costs, the cost of privacy leakage, the benefits of protection, high-traffic benefits, and other aspects; the factors affecting the choice of patient strategies encompassed surgical costs, the risk of privacy leakage, additional benefits, and other aspects; the factors affecting the choice of government strategies embodied regulatory costs and the improvement of credibility. To realize a win-win situation among doctors, patients, and the government, the three parties need to work together to ensure that patient privacy is not violated and find a balance between expanding the influence of medical education and protecting patient privacy.

Objective: To evaluate the long-term effectiveness of an intelligent blood transfusion system in intraoperative blood management by comparing its performance with clinicians' decisions. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 26 760 surgical cases (2017-2024) was conducted, comparing pre- and post-implementation (2017-2019 vs 2020-2024) metrics, including transfusion prediction accuracy, rationality of blood use, and clinical outcomes. The system, powered by XGBoost, integrated patient demographics, laboratory results, and surgical data to predict red blood cell transfusion needs. Results: The intelligent blood transfusion systems achieved an accuracy of 80.62% in predicting transfusion necessity, significantly outperforming clinicians (24.83%, P<0.001). Its blood-use rationality rate was 83.92% vs 18.02% for clinicians (P<0.001). Post-implementation, major surgeries (grades Ⅲ-Ⅳ) increased while the requested blood units decreased. High physician compliance (>75%) correlated with 88.18% rationality. Conclusion: The intelligent blood transfusion system significantly improves the accuracy of transfusion decision-making, reduces excessive red blood cell use, optimizes perioperative transfusion management, and enhances the utilization of blood medical resources.
