ObjectiveTo investigate the association of the traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome types of primary liver cancer （PLC） with clinical features and multimodal quantitative radiological features on computed tomography （CT） and magnetic resonance imaging （MRI）， and to provide a reference for the objectification of TCM syndrome differentiation and precise diagnosis and treatment. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 312 patients who were diagnosed with PLC in The First Affiliated Hospital of Hunan University of Chinese Medicine from March 2020 to June 2025， and according to the TCM syndrome type， they were divided into stagnation of liver Qi group with 40 patients， stagnation of liver Qi and spleen deficiency group with 109 patients， Qi stagnation and blood stasis group with 62 patients， dampness-heat toxin amassment group with 81 patients， and liver-kidney Yin deficiency group with 20 patients. Clinical features and multimodal quantitative radiological features were compared between the patients with different TCM syndrome types. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between multiple groups， and the least significant difference t-test was used for further comparison between two groups； the Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between multiple groups， and the Dunn’s multiple test was used for further comparison between two groups； the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups， and the Bonferroni method was used for further comparison between two groups. ResultsThere were significant differences between the patients with different TCM syndrome types in China liver cancer staging （CNLC）， Child-Pugh class， alanine aminotransferase， aspartate aminotransferase， albumin， direct bilirubin， total bilirubin， prothrombin time， neutrophil， and albumin-bilirubin score （all P<0.05）. In the stagnation of liver Qi group， the patients with Child-Pugh class A accounted for 75.00%； among the patients with CNLC stage I PLC， the patients with stagnation of liver Qi accounted for 60.00%， and those with Qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome accounted for 59.68%， while among the patients with CNLC stage IV PLC， the distribution proportion of dampness-heat toxin amassment （27.16%） and liver-kidney Yin deficiency （30.00%） was significantly higher than that of stagnation of liver Qi （2.50%） （all P<0.05）. Radiological examination showed that there were significant differences between the patients with different TCM syndrome types in the number of tumors， ascites， venous tumor thrombus， maximum tumor diameter， intrahepatic metastasis， and lymph node metastasis in the hepatic hilar and retroperitoneal regions （all P<0.05）. Compared with the patients with stagnation of liver Qi， the patients with liver depression and spleen deficiency or liver-kidney Yin deficiency were more likely to develop intrahepatic metastasis； the patients with liver depression and spleen deficiency， dampness-heat toxin amassment， or liver-kidney Yin deficiency were more likely to develop lymph node metastasis in the hepatic hilar and retroperitoneal regions； the patients with liver-kidney Yin deficiency were more likely to experience multiple tumors； the patients with liver depression and spleen deficiency or dampness-heat toxin amassment were more likely to develop ascites （all P<0.05）. Compared with the patients with Qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome， the patients with liver depression and spleen deficiency had a significantly longer maximum tumor diameter and a significantly higher proportion of patients with venous tumor thrombus （both P<0.05）. Furthermore， among the 184 patients with MRI diffusion-weighted imaging sequences， the patients with dampness-heat toxin amassment or Qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome had significantly higher ADC values and relative ADC values than those with stagnation of liver Qi （all P<0.05）. ConclusionThere are significant differences in CT/MRI radiological features and clinical features between PLC patients with different TCM syndrome types， among whom the patients with liver depression and spleen deficiency， dampness-heat toxin amassment， and liver-kidney Yin deficiency tend to exhibit progressive radiological features， and those with dampness-heat toxin amassment or Qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome tend to have higher ADC values. These findings provide an objective basis for TCM syndrome differentiation in PLC.

OBJECTIVE To observe the current status and influencing factors for the water contamination of humid-ification tanks of ventilators of the patients undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation.METHODS Totally 139 hu-midified water samples were collected from the patients who received invasive mechanical ventilation in The First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from Jul.2024 to Nov.2024.The humidified water samples were collected,cultured and identified on Day 1,3,5 and 7 after humidification tanks replacement.RESULTS Among the 139 samples,25 were tested positive for pathogens,with the positive test rate 17.99％;the positive test rate was highest(33.33％,8/24)in respiratory intensive care unit.The positive test rate was 12.90％on Day 1,18.42％on Day 3,15.00％on Day 5 and 26.67％on Day 7,showing an upward trend.The result of bacterial culture showed that the percentage of isolated Burkholderia cepacia was highest(36.00％).The result of analysis of the related factors for positive test of humidified water samples showed that the sample adding pattern was as-sociated with the isolation rate(P＜0.05).Only 1 case was diagnosed with ventilator-associated pneumonia(VAP)after the humidified water was detected with pathogens and varied in the pathogens.CONCLUSIONS There is an association between the status of water contamination of the ventilator humidification tanks and usage duration of humidification tank.It is necessary to attach great importance to the contamination of humidification tanks,carry out standard management,and implement the prevention and control measures in an all-round way.

Malignant hyperthermia(MH)is a rare perioperative disease with autosomal dominant inheritance,and its pathogenesis involves specific gene mutations.Its clinical feature is that conventional anesthetics can trigger abnormally high metabolic reactions in skeletal muscles.Although the incidence of this disease is low,the condition is dangerous,progresses rapidly,and has a high mortality rate;Its treatment relies on early diagnosis,timely application of the specific drug Dantrolene Sodium,and rapid and orderly comprehensive symptomatic supportive treatment.MH is a critical perioperative emergency that can occur during surgery.It presents with symptoms such as hyperpyrexia,metabolic acidosis,rhabdomyolysis,and dysfunction of multiple organ systems.If not treated promptly,it can quickly lead to life-threatening arrhythmias and cardiac arrest.This condition serves as an essential teaching example in anesthesia crisis resource management.As an effective teaching method,scenario simulation exercises can comprehensively enhance medical staff's personal technical,non-technical,and teamwork abilities through simulating emergency scenarios,teaching assessments,and retrospective discussions,especially suitable for comprehensive management training of fatal diseases.Many countries internationally have incorporated simulation exercises for MH into their routine teaching and training systems.The effectiveness of teaching and training for anesthesiologists in MH and their ability to handle anesthesia crisis events have been continuously improved through a periodic training model.This article systematically reviews the research progress and practical experience of scenario simulation exercises in emergency training for MH,with a focus on exploring how to establish a scenario simulation exercise plan for emergency application and comprehensive symptomatic support treatment of Dantrolene Sodium based on the actual situation in China,providing reference for improving the teaching and training quality of MH and other clinical crisis events.

Objective: To identify core acupoint patterns and elucidate the molecular mechanisms of acupuncture for primary depressive disorder (PDD) through data mining and network analysis. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed, Embase, Ovid Technologies (OVID), Web of Science, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), China National Knowledge Infrastructure Database (VIP), Wanfang Data, and SinoMed Database from database foundation to January 31, 2025, for clinical studies on acupuncture treatment of PDD. Descriptive statistics, high-frequency acupoint analysis, degree and betweenness centrality evaluation, and core acupoint prescription mining identified predominant therapeutic combinations for PDD. Network acupuncture was used to predict therapeutic target for the core acupoint prescription. Subsequent protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and molecular complex detection (MCODE) analyses were conducted to identify the key targets and functional modules. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses explored the underlying biological mechanisms of the core acupoint prescription in treating PDD. Results: A total of 57 acupoint prescriptions underwent systematic analysis. The core therapeutic combinations comprised Baihui (GV20), Yintang (GV29), Neiguan (PC6), Hegu (LI4), and Shenmen (HT7). Network acupuncture analysis identified 88 potential therapeutic targets (79 overlapping with PDD), while PPI network analysis revealed central regulatory nodes, including interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), IL-10, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1, C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 10 (CXCL10), mitogen-activated protein kinase 3 (MAPK3), and nitric oxide synthase 1 (NOS1). MCODE-based modular analysis further elucidated three functionally coherent clusters: inflammation-homeostasis (score = 6.571), plasticity-neurotransmission (score = 3.143), and oxidative stress (score = 3.000). GO and KEGG analyses demonstrated significant enrichment of the MAPK, phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt), and hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1 signaling pathways. These mechanistic insights suggested that the antidepressant effects mediated through mechanisms of neuroinflammatory regulation, neuroplasticity restoration, and immune-oxidative stress homeostasis. Conclusion This study reveals that acupuncture alleviates depression through a multi-level mechanism, primarily involving the neuroinflammation suppression, neuroplasticity enhancement, and oxidative stress regulation. These findings systematically clarify the underlying mechanisms of acupuncture’s antidepressant effects and identify novel therapeutic targets for further mechanistic research.

To summarize the experience of Professor WANG Qingguo in diagnosing and treating wind-cold-dampness arthralgia based on the principle that "the nutrient-defense qi does not merge with wind-cold-dampness qi， so it did not result to arthralgia". By analyzing the relationship between nutrient-defense qi and wind-cold-dampness arthralgia， it is believed that the occurrence of wind-cold-dampness arthralgia is closely related to the movement of nutrient qi and defense qi， and the key to the treatment of this disease is to regulate nutrient qi and defense qi and remove the combination of nutrient-defense qi and wind-cold-dampness qi. The core pathogenesis of wind-cold-dampness arthralgia in the early stage is the initial combination of nutrient-defense qi and wind-cold-dampness qi， and the treatment should harmonize nutrient-defense qi and eliminate the pathogen and release pathogenesis， with Chaihu Guizhi Decoction （柴胡桂枝汤） as the main prescription； the core pathogenesis of the middle stage is nutrient-defense qi and wind-cold-dampness qi cemented together， and the treatment should harmonize and tonify nutrient qi and defense qi and separate the pathogen to alleviate disease， with self-prescribed Chuanteng Tongbi Decoction （穿藤通痹汤） as the main prescription； the core pathogenesis of the late stage is deficiency and stagnation of nutrient-defense qi， wind-cold-dampness qi still exist， and the treatment should tonify and free nutrient qi and defense qi to eliminate pathogen and arthralgia， with self-prescribed Chuanqing Haijia Decoction （穿青海甲汤） plus Duhuo Jisheng Decoction （独活寄生汤） as the main prescription.

Objective:To explore the anti-inflammatory effect and safety of two non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in the phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.Methods:A randomized, double-blind, clinical trial was conducted.A total of 90 age-related cataract patients (90 eyes) who were diagnosed in Qingdao Eye Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University were enrolled from October 2020 to February 2021.The patients were randomized to diclofenac sodium group and bromofenac sodium group by random number table method, with 45 cases (45 eyes) in each group.All patients underwent phacoemulsification combined with IOL implantation, and 0.1% diclofenac sodium eye drops (preservative-free), 4 times a day, and 0.1% pramiphene eye drops, 2 times a day were applied in the perioperative period.The duration of continuous medication treatment and follow-up time were 6 weeks.The subjective symptoms of the patients were scored before and after surgery.The amount of tear fluid secretion was detected by Schirmer I test, and the tear film breakup time was recorded with the Oculus dry eye analyzer.Corneal fluorescein staining was observed under a slit lamp microscope with cobalt blue light.Anterior chamber flash was measured by slit-lamp biomicroscopy.The thickness of central macular area and the presence of macular cystoid edema was measured by optical coherence tomography.Visual acuity, noncontact intraocular pressure (IOP) and the drug safety were examined and evaluated.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by the Ethics Committee of Qingdao Eye Hospital (No.[2020]60).All patients were informed about the surgery and postoperative medication and signed the informed consent form.Results:All subjects had no intraoperative complications, and completed treatment and follow-up as required.The preoperative, 1-day postoperative, 1-week postoperative, 6-week postoperative subjective symptom scores were (0.47±0.73), (0.56±0.62), (0.33±0.48), and (0.51±0.66) points in the diclofenac group, and (0.47±0.51), (0.75±0.61), (0.64±0.65), and (0.78±0.77) points in the bromfenac group.There were statistically significant differences in the subjective symptom scores at different time points between the two groups ( Fgroup=5.001, P=0.028; Ftime=2.920, P=0.035), and the subjective symptom scores of diclofenac sodium group were significantly lower than those of bromofenac sodium group (all at P<0.05).The preoperative, 1-week postoperative, 6-week postoperative tear secretion volume were (5.87±2.37), (6.07±2.53), and (6.29±0.25) mm in diclofenac sodium group, and (7.36±2.74), (6.29±3.46), and (5.80±2.76) mm in bromofenac sodium group.There was statistically significant difference in the tear secretion volume between the two groups before surgery ( F=6.910, P=0.012), but there was no significant difference on postoperative weeks 1 and 6 ( F=1.121, 0.772; P=0.729, 0.384).The preoperative, 1-week postoperative, 6-week postoperative non-invasive tear break-up time (NIBUT) were (8.00±6.28), (6.68±5.24), and (6.17±5.00) seconds in diclofenac sodium group, and (6.40±5.28), (4.50±2.46), and (5.39±5.39) seconds in bromofenac sodium group.There was no significant difference in NIBUT between the two groups ( Fgroup=3.415, P=0.068).There was significant difference in NIBUT within groups among different time points ( Ftime=4.358, P=0.020).The 1-day postoperative, 1-week postoperative, 6-week postoperative corneal epithelial staining score were (1.40±0.81), (0.13±0.34), (0.00±0.00) points in diclofenac sodium group, and (1.38±0.89), (0.22±0.47), and (0.00±0.00) points in bromofenac sodium group.There was no statistically significant difference in the corneal epithelial staining score between the two groups after surgery ( Fgroup=0.110, P=0.741).There were statistically significant differences in corneal epithelial staining scores within groups among different time points ( Ftime=175.054, P<0.01).The 1-day postoperative, 1-week postoperative, 6-week postoperative anterior chamber flare classification were 1.13±0.51, 0.13±0.34, and 0.00±0.00 in diclofenac sodium group, and 1.02±0.34, 0.16±0.37, and 0.00±0.00 in bromofenac sodium group.There was no significant difference in the overall anterior chamber flash between the two groups ( Fgroup=0.045, P=0.507).There were statistically significant differences in anterior chamber flash within groups among different time points ( Ftime=322.331, P<0.001).There was no significant difference in the preoperative and 6-week postoperative macular fovea thickness between both groups ( t=-0.221, -0.374; both at P>0.05).The incidence of macular cystoid edema 6 weeks after operation was 0% in both groups.Subjects tolerated the two tested drugs well.Eight adverse events occurred in this study, all of which were mild postoperative IOP elevation, including 3 in diclofenac sodium group with an incidence of 6.67% and 5 in bromofenac group with an incidence of 11.1%.IOP returned to normal in all the patients 1 week after stopping the use of drug. Conclusions:Two nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are safe and effective for anti-inflammatory treatment after cataract phacoemulsification combined with IOL implantation.The new diclofenac sodium eye drops are more comfortable than bromfenac sodium eye drops.

Objective:To investigate the current status of maternal body image during pregnancy, mother-infant attachment and postpartum depression and explore the mediating effect of mother-infant attachment on maternal body image during pregnancy and postpartum depression, in order to effectively reduce the incidence of postpartum depression and provide reference and guidance for alleviating depressive symptoms.Methods:A total of 362 pregnant women admitted to obstetric wards in Women′s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were selected for a cross-sectional investigation by applying the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, the Body Image in Pregnancy Scale and the Maternal Postnatal Attachment Scale by convenient sampling from July to September 2022. Model 4 in the SPSS macro program PROCESS was used to test the mediating effect of maternal infant attachment between body image and postpartum depression.Results:Totally 362 valid questionnaires were retrieved including 194 individuals aged ≤30 years old and 168 individuals aged >30 years old. The scores of maternal body image during pregnancy, mother-infant attachment and postpartum depression were (89.24 ± 15.56), (71.40 ± 8.05), 7.50 (4.00, 11.00) points.Conclusions:Body image during pregnancy can not only directly predict postpartum depression, but also indirectly predict postpartum depression through the mediating effect of mother-infant attachment. In order to prevent or reduce the occurrence of postpartum depression, nursing staff should carry out intervention research based on influencing the path of postpartum depression from the perspective of positive psychology.
