ObjectiveTo explore the academic characteristics of contemporary renowned Chinese medicine masters in treating diabetic kidney disease (DKD) from the perspectives of principles, methods, formulas, and medications. MethodsIn strict accordance with the Systematic Review of Text and Opinion (SrTO) process developed by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI), an Australian evidence-based healthcare center, the databases including China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), VIP Database, Wanfang Data, and China Biomedical Literature Service System (SinoMed) were searched. Based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, text information extraction, quality evaluation, and text information synthesis were conducted sequentially. The data were analyzed and presented in the form of text and figures. ResultsA total of 215 articles related to 43 contemporary renowned experts in the fields of Chinese medicine nephrology and endocrinology were included. The study found that the academic thoughts of these masters in the treatment of DKD are extensive, involving multiple levels such as disease understanding, therapeutic strategies, formula application, and medication use. In terms of disease understanding, the primary pathogenesis is characterized by deficiency in the root and excess in the manifestation. It is emphasized that internal factors, such as congenital endowment deficiency, interact with external factors such as improper diet, emotional disturbances, invasion of exogenous pathogens, and delayed or inappropriate treatment, to jointly induce the disease. This further gives rise to various pathogenetic theories, including obstruction of renal collaterals by blood stasis, toxin-induced damage to renal collaterals, latent wind disturbing the kidney, and internal heat leading to mass formation. In terms of therapeutic strategies and medication use, the principal treatment method is to replenish Qi and nourish Yin. Stage-based and syndrome-differentiated treatments are advocated. Flexible use of insect-derived drugs and wind-dispelling drugs is emphasized, along with proficiency in applying classical formulas and drug pairs. Integrated internal and external treatments, as well as the combined application of multiple therapeutic approaches, are commonly employed for comprehensive management. Meanwhile, the concept of "preventive treatment of disease" is upheld, and individualized long-term management of patients is advocated. ConclusionThrough the SrTO process, the academic thoughts of contemporary renowned Chinese medicine masters in the treatment of DKD have been systematically and standardly synthesized, providing a scientific and standardized basis for future theoretical exploration.

Objective:
To evaluate the efficacy of a short video based health education model in enhancing e-cigarette awareness among junior high school students, so as to provide empirical evidence for optimizing school based health education in the digital era.
Methods:
In December 2024, a cluster sampling method was applied to recruit 465 eighth grade students from a middle school in Kunming for a survey. The intervention was implemented through playing short videos produced by the research team in the classroom, and a self designed adolescent e-cigarette questionnaire was used to conduct assessments before and after intervention, along with qualitative interviews with 60 teachers and students by purposive sampling. Pre and post intervention outcomes were compared by using paired t-test and Chi-square test. Qualitative data underwent a three stage coding process of "open, axial, and selective coding" to construct an explanatory framework.
Results:
Quantitative analysis showed significant post intervention increases in both baseline awareness scores(92.1±6.6)and deep awareness scores (70.0±17.6) compared with pre intervention( 78.2± 14.0,46.1±20.5)( t =23.54,26.72,both P <0.05), both meeting the criteria for large effect sizes (Cohen s d =1.09, 1.24). The improvement in deep awareness was particularly pronounced, specifically regarding addictive ingredients, illicit additives(tiletamine,metomidate,etomidate), and misconceptions about smoking cessation efficacy ( χ 2=150.54,113.27,117.40,112.92, 69.93 , all P <0.01). Qualitative insights revealed that narrative transportation and visual enhancement were the core mechanisms of efficacy: 87.3% of students preferred contextualized narratives, 85.5% of students decoded cognitive bottlenecks more effectively because of visual enhancement, and 72.7% relied on short videos for micro learning.
Conclusion
Short video based health education can effectively enhance e-cigarette awareness among junior high school students, offering a pragmatically viable digital pathway for school based health education.

Degenerative retinoschisis(RS)is a common peripheral retinal degeneration that typically remains asymptomatic and follows a benign clinical course. However, its morphological resemblance to rhegmatogenous retinal detachment(RRD)presents a diagnostic challenge, as the two conditions demand fundamentally different management and carry distinct prognoses. Precise differentiation is therefore clinically imperative. Recent advances in multimodal imaging have substantially refined the diagnostic accuracy and differential assessment of degenerative RS, establishing spectral-domain optical coherence tomography(SD-OCT)as the definitive reference standard. When the disease progresses to progressive symptomatic schisis-related retinal detachment(PSSRD), prompt surgical intervention, including scleral buckling, pars plana vitrectomy, or a combined approach, is mandated to preserve visual function. Clinical decision-making must be individualized, with the surgical strategy carefully tailored to the specific characteristics of eachcase. This review provides a systematic synthesis of current evidence on the natural history, imaging hallmarks, and surgical management of degenerative RS and its complications, aiming to inform and optimize clinical practice.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Wenshen Yangxue decoction combined with endometrial microstimulation in the treatment of infertile patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS, syndrome of kidney-Yang deficiency and blood stasis). MethodsA randomized, positive-drug parallel-controlled, open-label clinical study was conducted. A total of 240 infertile PCOS patients with the syndrome of kidney-Yang deficiency and blood stasis who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were randomly assigned into 4 groups, with 60 patients in each group. The control group was treated with clomiphene citrate (50-100 mg·d-¹, orally for 5-10 consecutive days) for ovulation induction. On the basis of the therapy in the control group, the Wenshen group was additionally treated with Wenshen Yangxue decoction (250 mL, warm oral administration, twice daily, in the morning and evening), and the stimulation group received endometrial microstimulation during the early follicular phase. The combined group was treated with clomiphene citrate plus Wenshen Yangxue decoction (at the same dosages as aforementioned) and endometrial microstimulation. The course of treatment for all the groups was 3 menstrual cycles. The pregnancy rate, ovulation status, sex hormone levels, glucose metabolism indicators, coagulation function, endometrial thickness, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom scores, and adverse reactions were observed in each group. ResultsA total of 239 patients were included in the final analysis, with 59 patients in the Wenshen group and 60 patients in each of the other three groups. The pregnancy rates were 43.3%(26/60) in the combined group and 32.2%(19/60) in the Wenshen group, both significantly higher than that (10%) in the control group (χ2=17.56,P<0.01). Compared with the control group, the combined and Wenshen groups had increased mature follicle rates (P<0.01), while the Wenshen group showed a decreased luteinization rate (P<0.05). All the groups exhibited significant reductions in TCM symptom scores after treatment, and the Wenshen and combined groups had lower scores than the control group (P<0.01). No statistically significant difference was found in the incidence of adverse events among the four groups, and all the adverse events were mild. ConclusionWenshen Yangxue decoction combined with endometrial microstimulation can alleviate the TCM symptoms of infertile PCOS patients with the syndrome of kidney-Yang deficiency and blood stasis, promote follicular maturation and ovulation, increase the cumulative pregnancy rate, and has good safety. It can provide new clinical evidence for the integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment of PCOS infertility.

ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between triglyceride high-density cholesterol-glucose body index (TyHGB) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). MethodsThis single-center retrospective cohort study was conducted. A total of 723 singleton pregnant women who received prenatal care and delivered at Lingnan Hospital, the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, from May 2024 to July 2024 were enrolled. Clinical baseline data and laboratory test results in the first trimester (before 13+6 weeks of gestation) were collected. Based on the tertiles of the TyHGB index were equally divided into 3 groups. Clinical baseline data, and GDM risk were compared among the three groups. ResultsCompared with the control group, the GDM group had older maternal age, higher Pre-pregnancy BMI, FPG, TG, and higher values of 75 g OGTT fasting plasma glucose, 1 h plasma glucose, and 2 h plasma glucose. The early-pregnancy TyHGB index, andincidence of macrosomiawere all higher in the GDM group than in the control group ( all P<0.05), whereas gestational weight gain (GWG) was lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). The individuals were divided into three groups according to the tertiles of the TyHGB index. Significantly differences were identified among TyHGB index tertiles in maternal age, parity, Pre-BMI, FPG, TC, TG, HDL-C, LDLL-C, Ur, 75 g OGTT fasting plasma glucose, 1 h plasma glucose, 2 h plasma glucose, GWG, neonatal birth weight, GDM, GH, macrosomia incidence, and cesarean section rate(all P<0.05). Further trend test analysis found that matenal age, parity, Pre-BMI, FPG, TC, TG, LDL-C, 75 g OGTT_FPG, 75 g OGTT_1 h PG and 75 g OGTT_2 h PG level, neonatal birth weight, GDM, GH, incidence of macrosomia and cesarean section rate all showed an upward trend. The multivariate Logistic regression models revealed that there was an independent positive correlation between TyHGB index and the risk of GDM. Curve fitting by restricted cubic splines (RCS) were used to assess linearity between TyHGB and GDM, and there was a linear dose-response relationship between TyHGB and GDM (P nonlinear test = 0.597). The threshold value for early pregnancy TyHGB index to predict GDM was 6.449 , with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.644 (95% CI: 0.597-0.691), sensitivity of 0.480 , and specificity of 0.779. After adjusting for maternal age, Pre-BMI, family history of diabetes, and history of GDM, the AUC for the early pregnancy TyHGB index to predict GDM was 0.672 (95% CI: 0.626-0.718). ConclusionThe early-pregnancy TyHGB index is independently associated with GDM risk, and exhibits a linear dose-response relationship with GDM. It may serve as an early screening and monitoring tool for pregnant women at high risk of GDM. However, its predictive value for GDM requires further validation.

Skeletal muscle dysfunction is a common extra-pulmonary complication in patients with chronic ob-structive pulmonary disease(COPD),significantly impacting exercise capacity and quality of life,leading to a poorer prognosis and increased mortality.Oxidative stress closely associates with the development and progression of skeletal muscle dysfunction in COPD.Exercise,a core component of pulmonary rehabilitation,stands as the primary non-pharma-cological treatment for skeletal muscle dysfunction in COPD patients and exerts a positive modulating effect on oxidative stress.This paper reviews the effects of oxidative stress on skeletal muscle dysfunction in COPD and discusses the mecha-nisms by which exercise improves skeletal muscle dysfunction in COPD from an anti-oxidative stress perspective.It has been found that oxidative stress affects the structure and function of muscles in COPD patients by upregulating the protein hydrolysis system,disrupting mitochondrial function,and impairing calcium homeostasis.Mechanisms by which exercise modulates oxidative stress to improve skeletal muscle dysfunction include the activation of antioxidant genes such as silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog 1 and nuclear factor erythroid 2 related factor to enhance the body's antioxi-dant capacity,inhibiting muscle atrophy.Exercise also regulates mitochondrial reactive oxygen species metabolism,im-proving mitochondrial function,and reduces oxidase activity to protect sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium regulation.In con-clusion,the regulation of skeletal muscle oxidative stress by exercise is a crucial target for improving skeletal muscle dys-function in COPD.

Objective To explore the association of working hours and shift work with occupational stress, fatigue accumulation, and depressive symptoms among primary community medical workers. Methods A total of 516 medical workers from five community medical service centers in Pudong New Area, Shanghai City, were selected as the research subjects using the convenience sampling method. The Core Scale of Occupational Stress Measurement, the Workers' Fatigue Accumulation Self-diagnosis Questionnaire, and the Patient Health Questionnaire were used to assess research subjects' occupational stress, fatigue accumulation, and depressive symptoms, respectively. Results Long working hours (>40 hours/week) were reported by 50.4% of workers among the research subjects, while shift works were reported by 16.9% of the workers. The detection rates of occupational stress, fatigue accumulation, and depressive symptoms were 26.6%, 41.7%, and 30.8%, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis result revealed that, after adjusting for confounders such as age, sex, and education level, longer working hours were associated with higher risks of occupational stress, fatigue accumulation, and depressive symptoms (all P<0.05). Shift workers in community medical centers had higher risks of occupational stress, fatigue accumulation, and depressive symptoms compared with non-shift workers (all P<0.05). Conclusion Long working hours and shift work could increase the risks of occupational stress, fatigue accumulation, and depressive symptoms among community medical workers.
