This paper introduces a real-world cohort research model for community-acquired pneumonia （CAP） based on the Jiangsu Traditional Chinese Medicine （TCM） Dominant Diseases Diagnosis and Treatment Data Platform. Firstly， data cleaning is performed by standardizing diagnosis， symptoms， treatment and imaging， intelligently extracting unstructured information， and cleaning and constructing a standardized database. Secondly， for cohort establishment， CAP patients across the province are screened in accordance with CAP diagnostic criteria to build a high-quality disease-specific cohort. Lastly， in terms of protocol design， the characteristics of TCM research and the CAP disease profile are considered to determine appropriate inclusion and exclusion criteria， estimate sample size， define interventions， outcomes and economic evaluations， providing a reference for real-world TCM research on CAP.

This paper summarizes the progress of theoretical research and practice of One Health in China,and discusses the paradigm of One Health governance to improve the prevention and control of infectious diseases in China and the world,and provide an example for the improvement of the public health system.In particular,China has long history to apply the concept of One Health in the national schistosomiasis control programmes and patriotic health campaigns,which were not only focusing on human health,but also emphasizing the sustainable development of animal health and ecological environment.At the same time,the application of tools such as system dynamics model,eDNA technology,One Health economic assessment and global One Health index(GOHI)in the field of disease control and environmental health provides technical support for the concept of One Health.Despite the challenges of practical application of these tools,the One Health concept will play a greater role in providing sustainable solutions for human-animal-environmental health by strengthening interdisciplinary collaboration,improving standardization protocols and promoting inter-national cooperation.

Aim To establish a simple and practical method for visualizing neurovascular coupling in the mouse barrel cortex in vivo.Methods Male C57BL/6J mice received stereotaxic in-jections of pAAV-hSyn-jGCaMP7s-WPRE into the barrel cortex to monitor neuronal activity.Three weeks post-injection,a crani-al window was implanted,and TRITC-Dextran 155 ku was ad-ministered intravenously to visualize the vasculature and blood flow dynamics.A custom-built whisker stimulator was used to e-voke controlled neuronal excitation.Two-photon microscopy was employed to monitor neuronal and vascular responses to whisker stimulation in real-time.Results Neuronal calcium signals and plasma signals were clearly observed using two-photon microsco-py.Whisker stimulation led to a significant increase in neuronal calcium signals in the barrel cortex,indicating effective neuronal activation.This neuronal excitation was accompanied by a syn-chronous increase in blood vessel diameter,blood flow velocity and overall blood flow.Conclusions This study successfully establishes a three-dimensional visualization framework(spatial,temporal,and functional)for in vivo visualization of neurovascu-lar coupling in the mouse barrel cortex,which provides a useful tool for investigating the pathophysiological mechanisms of neuro-vascular dysfunction and evaluating the efficacy of potential ther-apies.

Objective:To explore the influencing factors of hematoma enlargement in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage and construct a corresponding risk prediction nomogram. The screening effects of the constructed model and different hematoma enlargement risk assessment tools were compared and analyzed.Methods:Two hundred and thirty-two patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage from the Department of Neurosurgery, Lianyungang First People's Hospital from April 2021 to February 2022 were selected as the research subjects. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of hematoma expansion in patients with hyperhemamic intracerebral hemorrhage, and R software was used to construct a nomo diagram. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and Hosmer-Lemeshow (H-L) goodness-of-fit were used to evaluate the discrimination and calibration of the model, and the decision curve was used to analyze the clinical validity of the model. The constructed Nomo diagram, nine-point method and BRAIN score were used to assess the risk of hematoma enlargement in the included patients and used them as test variables, and the ROC curve was plotted to compare and analyze the area under the ROC curve, sensitivity and specificity of the constructed Nomo diagram, nine-point method and BRAIN score. The Kappa test was used to analyze the consistency between the Nomo diagram, the nine-point method, and the BRAIN score and the hematoma expansion results.Results:The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that blood pressure was poorly controlled ( OR=13.290, 95% CI: 3.676-48.049), ventricular penetration ( OR=4.825, 95% CI: 1.458-15.975), early neurological deterioration ( OR=27.740, 95% CI: 8.713-88.314), Glasgow Coma Scale(GCS)≤8 points ( OR=25.883, 95% CI: 6.542-102.404) was the main influencing factor for hematoma expansion in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (The P values were <0.001, 0.010, <0.001, and <0.001, respectively). The H-L test results of Nomogram for predicting hematoma enlargement were χ2=3.20, P=0.525, the calibration curve was close to the ideal curve, and the mean absolute error was 0.015, and the decision curve analysis showed that the model had good clinical validity. The ROC results showed that the area under the ROC curve of the constructed Neumo diagram, nine-point method and BRAIN score were 0.971 (95% CI: 0.941-0.989), 0.696 (95% CI: 0.632-0.755), and 0.778 (95% CI: 0.719-0.830)(all P<0.001). The sensitivities were 94.37%, 71.83%, and 84.51%, and the specificities were 90.68%, 58.39%, and 65.84%, respectively. The results of Kappa test showed that the Kappa values of Nuomo diagram, nine-point method and BRAIN score were 0.806 , 0.264 and 0.429 (all P<0.001). Conclusion:The main influencing factors of hematoma enlargement in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage were poor blood pressure control, intraventricular hemorrhage, early neurological deterioration, and GCS score. The effect of the constructed Nuomo diagram model in predicting hematoma expansion in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage is better than that of the nine-point method and the BRAIN score, which has clinical application value.

Methodological quality assessment is a pivotal link between primary studies and reliable evidence-based practice,and an essential pathway for operationalizing the core principles of the Guide on Methodological Standards in Pharmacoepidemiology(2nd edition).A prevalent challenge in practice,however,is the conflation of appraising methodological robustness(risk of bias assessment)with verifying reporting transparency(adherence to reporting guidelines).This paper systematically addresses this fundamental challenge,beginning with a clear distinction between the essence and boundaries of these two concepts.On this basis,the article provides a comprehensive review of mainstream quality assessment tools,covering the methodological features and evolutionary trajectory of numerous instruments for interventional(e.g.,RoB 2,ROBINS-I),observational(e.g.,NOS,the JBI/SIGN/NIH series),secondary(e.g.,AMSTAR 2),and other specific types of studies such as health economic evaluations.Furthermore,a complete case study is used to illustrate the practical application of the ROBINS-I tool.The paper's central thesis advocates for an"appraisal-informed design"philosophy,urging a conceptual shift from the retrospective critique of existing literature to the prospective quality control of new research by internalizing appraisal standards as design principles,while also exploring the emerging paradigm of artificial intelligence in assisting assessment.This paper provides a comprehensive methodological reference for researchers and practitioners to prudently select appropriate assessment tools and to conduct rigorous critical appraisals of pharmacoepidemiological evidence.
