ObjectiveBased on the clinical characteristics of chronic gouty arthritis （CGA） in both traditional Chinese and western medicine， this study aims to systematically evaluate the clinical concordance of existing CGA animal models， providing recommendations for establishing animal models that align with the pathological characteristics of CGA and the manifestations of traditional Chinese medicine syndromes. MethodsBy comprehensively retrieving Chinese and international databases such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure， Wanfang， VIP Chinese Science and Technology Periodical Database （VIP）， and PubMed， all relevant literature on CGA animal models was collected. Based on the guidelines， the diagnostic criteria of both traditional Chinese and western medicine were summarized and organized. The evaluation indicators for the CGA model were constructed with reference to existing evaluation modes， and the CGA animal models were analyzed to systematically evaluate the clinical concordance of existing models. ResultsThe current methods used to construct CGA animal models mainly include monosodium urate crystal induction， high-protein diet induction （poultry lack urate oxidase）， and high-fat diet combined with urate oxidase inhibitors and joint injection. Based on 11 pieces of included literature， the traditional Chinese and western medicine scoring data of each model were extracted， and the average scoring values of all models were ultimately calculated. The results show that the average clinical concordances of existing CGA animal models in both traditional Chinese and western medicine are 43.33% and 64.44%， respectively. Among them， the model with the highest clinical concordance rate is the one with a high-fat diet combined with potassium oxonate to induce hyperuricemia plus joint injection， achieving 83.33% clinical concordance in western medicine and 60% in traditional Chinese medicine. This model aligns well with the pathogenic characteristics and pathological changes of clinical CGA. ConclusionAlthough current CGA animal models can simulate some pathological characteristics of CGA， they struggle to comprehensively reflect the complex pathological processes of CGA and the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine syndromes. Therefore， in the future， it is necessary to establish the CGA animal models that incorporate the clinical disease and syndrome characteristics of traditional Chinese and western medicine and formulate the uniform model evaluation criteria， providing more precise tools for CGA mechanism research and the development of traditional Chinese medicine.

AIM: To conduct a CiteSpace-based visualization analysis of the literature on traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)treatment of diabetic retinopathy(DR)from January 2014 to January 2024.METHODS: The literatures were retrieved from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI)database. Co-occurrence, clustering, and emergence analyses of annual publications, authors, research institutions, and keywords were performed using Note Express and CiteSpace software to generate knowledge graph.RESULTS: A total of 643 Chinese-language articles were included. The annual publication trend was characterized by fluctuations. The primary research institutions were Liaoning University of Traditional Chinese Medical and Eye Hospital China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences. Twenty high-frequency keywords were identified, including diabetes, TCM, and review, along with emergent terms such as Qiming granules and data mining. The research focus in 2014 was on exploring therapeutic methods and the efficacy of proprietary Chinese medicines. From 2016 to 2018, the research perspective expanded to include symptoms and multi-factorial analysis. Between 2018 and 2020, there was an in-depth investigation into evidence types and disease stages. After 2019, the emphasis shifted towards TCM-specific therapies and patient-centered concepts. From 2022 to 2024, innovation in research methods and the theory of TCM collaterals theory emerged as new hotspots.CONCLUSION: The research on TCM treatment for DR is still in an ascending phase. The primary research hotspot currently centers on Qiming granules. Future trends are likely to focus on the efficacy and mechanisms of action. The combined application of different therapies and long-term follow-up experimental research could provide a more robust basis for evidence-based medicine, unearth the potential of TCM, and promote its development in the prevention and treatment of DR.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intranasal corticosteroids （INCS） combined with oral H1- antihistamine （AH） in the treatment of allergic rhinitis. METHODS A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed， Embase， CNKI， and VIP database to collect randomized controlled trial （RCT） that INCS combined with AH （experimental group） versus INCS （control group） in the treatment of allergic rhinitis from the inception to December 31， 2024. After study selection， data extraction， and quality assessment， a meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS A total of 12 RCTs were included in the meta-analysis， with a total of 1 842 patients. Results of meta-analysis showed that， compared with the control group， patients in the experimental group had a greater reduction in sneezing scores， rhinorrhea scores， nasal congestion scores， nasal itching scores， total nasal symptom scores， total ocular symptom scores， and rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire scores （P＜0.05）. The incidence of headache was lower in the experimental group （P＜0.05）； whereas there were no significant differences between the two groups in the incidence of nosebleed， dryness of the mouth and nose， drowsiness， fatigue， and total adverse events （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Compared with INCS monotherapy， the combination of INCS and oral AH provides superior efficacy and safety in the treatment of allergic rhinitis.

Objective To investigate the clinical features,diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of sinon-asal mucosal melanoma(SNMM).Methods The clinical data of 16 cases of SNMM without cervical lymph node metastasis admitted to this hospital from June 2014 to July 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.Results The mean age of all 16 cases was(70.00±7.02)years.The mean survival period was 22.87 months in the treated group and 9.42 months in the untreated group,with significant difference in outcome(P=0.01).There was no significant difference in long-term prognosis between patients with bone destruction and those without bone destruction after treatment(P=0.085).There was also no significant difference in prognosis between T3 group and T4a group after treatment(P=0.119).Conclusion SNMM usually presents with mi-nor nasal bleeding as the initial symptom,and the overall prognosis is poor due to its propensity for metasta-sis.Surgical resection and postoperative individualized comprehensive therapy are the main treatments,and immunotherapy may improve survival.

Objective:To conjecture the correlation between fetal hydrothorax(FHT)and pregnancy outcome through the analysis of 95 fetuses with hydrothorax and their mothers.Methods:In this case series study, 95 FHT patients admitted to the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2016 to October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the pregnancy outcome, these patients were divided into the induced labor group (13 patients) and the delivery group (82 patients). General data and genetic examinations of patients in the induced labor group were analyzed to explore their pathogenesis and genetics.According to the neonatal Apgar score, patients in the delivery group were divided into the normal group and the asphyxia group.Fifteen indicators including the maternal age, gestational week at first diagnosis, maternal complications, FHT location, FHT severity, FHT outcome during pregnancy, fetal ascites, hydrops fetalis, other abnormal fetal structures, amniotic fluid volume, intrauterine treatment, gestational week of delivery, mode of delivery, sex of the newborn, and newborn birth weight in the 2 groups were comparatively analyzed by the chi-square test.With the neonatal Apgar score as the dependent variable, variables that had statistical significance during the univariate analysis were included in the regression analysis, and a multivariate binary Logistic regression equation was established to explore the factors affecting the pregnancy outcome.Results:There were significant differences in the FHT outcome during pregnancy (16/22/13 cases vs.2/18/11 cases, χ2=6.994, P=0.030), FHT severity (27/24 cases vs.9/22 cases, χ2=4.475, P=0.034), hydrops fetalis (14/37 cases vs.23/8 cases, χ2=17.012, P=0.001), amniotic fluid volume (21/30 cases vs.24/7 cases, χ2=10.228, P=0.001), intrauterine treatment (19/32 cases vs.2/29 cases, χ2=9.603, P=0.002), gestational week of delivery[(38.15±2.05) weeks vs.(34.83±3.14) weeks, t=5.748, P=0.001], and newborn birth weight[(3 325.00±637.41) g vs.(2 714.58±837.99) g, t=3.727, P=0.001]between the normal and asphyxia groups(all P<0.05). Among them, hydrops fetalis ( OR=7.070, P=0.020) and severe FHT ( OR=6.927, P=0.043) were risk factors for neonatal Apgar scores.Intrauterine treatment ( OR=0.062, P=0.027) and gestational week of delivery( OR=0.577, P=0.022) could be used as a protective factor for neonatal Apgar scores. Conclusions:Diagnosis of FHT during the early gestational weeks and multiple fetal structural abnormalities, especially hydrops fetalis, have higher probabilities of abnormal genetic examinations, and the fetal prognosis was poor.It is recommended to carry out chromosomal karyo type and microarray tests, as well as whole exome sequencing and detection of genetic syndromes(if necessary), to avoid unnecessary fetal treatment and improve the survival rate of perinatal infants after intrauterine treatment.The poor prognosis is related to hydrops fetalis and severe FHT; however, timely intrauterine treatment and prolonging pregnancy can improve the pregnancy outcome and increase the survival rate of perinatal infants.

Diabetes retinopathy (DR) is a blinding ocular complication of diabetes, and its pathological mechanism is complex. The damage to the retinal neurovascular unit (NVU) and the imbalance of its coupling mechanism are important pathological foundations. Autophagy plays an important role in the progression of DR. Oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, hypoxia, and competitive endogenous RNA regulatory networks can affect the occurrence of autophagy, and autophagy induced cell death is crucial in NVU dysfunction. Retinal neurocyte are non-renewable cells, and adaptive autophagy targeting neuronal cells may provide a new direction for early vision rescue in patients with DR. It is necessary that exploring the possible autophagy interrelationships between ganglion cells, glial cells, and vascular constituent cells, searching for targeted specific cell autophagy inhibitors or activators, and exploring the impact of autophagy on the NVU complex more comprehensively at the overall level. Adopting different autophagy intervention methods at different stages of DR may be one promising research directions for future DR.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the changes of serum human surfactant pro-tein D(SP-D)and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1(sVCAM-1)levels and postoperative fracture healing and short-term prognosis in patients with traumatic rib fractures.Methods A total of 102 patients with traumatic rib fractures who were treated in Banan Hospital Affiliated to Chongqing Medical University from January 2020 to December 2021 were selected as the research objects.After 8 months of treatment,the healing status of the patients was analyzed and divided into non-healing group(21 cases)and healing group(81 cases).Ac-cording to the pulmonary contusion,the patients were divided into pulmonary contusion group(19 cases)and non-pulmonary contusion group(83 cases).The serum levels of SP-D and sVCAM-1 were compared between the healing group and the non-healing group,and between the pulmonary contusion group and the non-pulmo-nary contusion group.The relationship between the changes of serum SP-D and sVCAM-1 levels and postop-erative fracture healing and short-term prognosis in patients with traumatic rib fractures were studied.Results The levels of SP-D and sVCAM-1 in the healing group were lower than those in the non-healing group(P＜0.05).The levels of SP-D and sVCAM-1 in the non-pulmonary contusion group were lower than those in the pulmonary contusion group(P＜0.05).Serum SP-D and sVCAM-1 levels were independent risk factors for postoperative fracture healing and short-term prognosis.Conclusion The changes of serum SP-D and sVCAM-1 levels in patients with traumatic rib fractures are related to fracture healing and short-term prognosis,which can be used as an important reference for prognosis evaluation.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of a self-developed mobile augmented reality navigation system (MARNS) in guiding spinal level positioning during intraspinal tumor surgery based on a dual-error theory. Methods: This retrospective study enrolled patients diagnosed with intraspinal tumors admitted to Fujian Provincial Hospital between May and November 2023. The participants were divided into conventional x-rays and self-developed MARNS groups according to the localization methods they received. Position time, length of intraoperative incision variation, and location accuracy were systematically compared. Results: A total of 41 patients (19 males) with intraspinal tumors were included, and MARNS was applied to 21 patients. MARNS achieved successful lesion localization in all patients with an error of 0.38±0.12 cm. Compared to x-rays, MARNS significantly reduced positioning time (129.00±13.03 seconds vs. 365.00±60.43 seconds, p<0.001) and length of intraoperative incision variation (0.14 cm vs. 0.67 cm, p=0.009). Conclusion The self-developed MARNS, based on augmented reality technology for lesion visualization and perpendicular projection, offers a radiation-free complement to conventional x-rays.
