Objective:To revise the quality standards of purified siliceous earth in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2020 Vol Ⅳ.Methods:Referring to USP2024 and GB 14936-2012 food additive purified siliceous earth and related ref-erences,the current quality standards for pharmaceutical excipient purified siliceous earth were revised,including description,dissolved substances in water,dissolved substances in acid,and content determination.The soluble a-luminum content was also investigated.Results:Revised the description of characteristic items,methods for deter-mining dissolved substances in water and acid,and limits for content determination;Through the investigation of soluble aluminum before and after filtration of human serum albumin(HSA)samples using purified siliceous earth as a filter aid,it is shown that purified siliceous earth has a certain degree of adsorption effect on aluminum ele-ment.At present,the use of low-temperature ethanol ultrafiltration process does not increase the residual aluminum content in biological products,so an aluminum element determination item is not added to the standard.Conclusion:The comprehensive quality standards for purified siliceous earth will be included in the Chinese Phar-macopoeia 2025 edition,providing strong technical support for the quality and safety supervision of this product.

OBJECTIVE: To review the research progress and challenges of poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) membrane in preventing tendon adhesion. METHODS: The relevant literature at home and abroad in recent years was extensively searched, covering the mechanism of tendon adhesion formation, the adaptation challenge and balancing strategy of PLLA, the physicochemical modification of PLLA anti-adhesion membrane and its application in tendon anti-adhesion. In this paper, the research progress and modification strategies of PLLA membranes were systematically reviewed from the three dimensions of tissue adaptation, mechanical adaptation, and degradation adaptation. RESULTS: The three-dimensional adaptation of PLLA membrane is optimized by combining materials (such as hydroxyapatite, polycaprolactone), structural design (multilayer/gradient membrane), and drug loading (anti-inflammatory drug). The balance between anti-adhesion and pro-healing is achieved, the mechanical adaptation significantly improve, and degradation is achieved (targeting the degradation cycle to 2-4 weeks to cover the tendon repair period). CONCLUSION In the future, it is necessary to identify the optimal balance point of three-dimensional fitness, unify the evaluation criteria and solve the degradation side effects through the co-design of physicochemical modification and drug loading system to break through the bottleneck of clinical translation.

Objective:To systematically evaluate qualitative research on intimate relationship experiences between dementia patients and their spouses.Methods:Qualitative studies on intimate relationship experiences of individuals with dementia and their spouses were electronically retrieved from the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, VIP, and SinoMed. The search period was from the establishment of the database to June 30, 2025. The literature was evaluated for quality using the Joanna Briggs Institute Quality Assessment Criteria for Qualitative Research. The results were synthesized through the aggregative integration method.Results:A total of 12 studies were included, yielding 46 findings that were categorized into 9 themes and synthesized into 3 integrated outcomes of dysfunction and challenges in intimate relationships, adjustment and coping strategies in intimate relationships, and reshaping and sublimation in intimate relationships.Conclusions:Patients with dementia and their spouses face multiple challenges in their intimate relationships and marital quality. Healthcare providers should focus on the lived experiences and unmet needs of dementia patients and their spouses, offer targeted psychological interventions and support, promote the stable development of intimate relationships, so as to improve their capacity to cope with the disease.

Objective:To analyze the diagnostic value of bedside capsule endoscopy in patients with acute or severe gastrointestinal bleeding.Methods:Clinical data from patients who underwent bedside capsule endoscopy due to acute or severe suspected gastrointestinal bleeding in Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University from June 2018 to September 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. The efficacy of capsule endoscopy in detecting upper gastrointestinal tract and small intestinal bleeding was evaluated.Results:A total of 74 patients underwent bedside capsule endoscopy for suspected acute or severe gastrointestinal bleeding. Five patients were excluded due to failure of examination due to retention of capsule endoscope in the gastric lumen, and 69 were included in the study, of whom 54 patients with a definitive diagnosis of gastrointestinal hemorrhage. The positive detection rate of the capsule endoscopy was 83.33% (45/54), including 17 cases of ulcer, 5 cases of erosion, 5 cases of vascular malformation, 4 protrusion mass, 4 diverticulum, 5 obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, 1 stenosis , 1 active mucosal blood exudation, 1 gastric retention, 1 mucosal swelling, and 1 mucosal wrinkle change. The sensitivity and specificity of capsule endoscopy in the diagnosis of upper gastrointestinal bleeding were 92.31% (12/13) and 75.00% (3/4) respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of capsule endoscopy for diagnosing small intestinal bleeding were 80.49% (33/41) and 90.91% (10/11) respectively.Conclusion:Bedside capsule endoscopy demonstrates high sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal bleeding, showing potential advantages in bedside applications for acute and severe gastrointestinal bleeding.

Chronic diseases in the elderly are characterised by high incidence rates and prolonged duration.Regular participation in multi-component exercise programs promotes both the physical and mental health of the elderly with chronic diseases and reduces the risk of morbidity,making it the key to prevent chronic diseases in the elderly.This review introduces the concepts of multi-component exercise,elucidates the mechanism in improvement of physical and cognitive functions and evaluates the applications as well as the advantages and disadvantages in the management of chronic diseases in the elderly.This review intends to provide references for clinicians who undertake management role of the chronic diseases in elderly populations.
