The Proctor's reporting guideline for implementation strategies represents a landmark framework in the field of implementation science, aiming to address the issue of inconsistent reporting in implementation research by standardizing the naming, definition, and operationalization of implementation strategies, thereby enhancing the credibility and utility of research findings. This paper provides an in-depth interpretation of the core connotations of this reporting guideline and illustrates its application in developing interview outlines and specifying implementation strategies, using a brief smoking cessation intervention project as a case study. Through this reporting guideline, abstract recommendations for implementation are systematically transformed into clear, multidimensional operational guides, significantly improving the transparency of strategy connotations and the replicability of actual execution. Meanwhile, the case study highlights the flexibility of the guideline, which allows researchers to adapt the content and format of strategies based on local resources and cultural contexts, thus enhancing practical adaptability while maintaining scientific rigor. However, the application of Proctor's reporting guideline still faces challenges, primarily manifested in the potential confusion surrounding the constructs of temporality and dose in practice, as well as the challenges that the inherent flexibility of the guideline may pose to the assessment of fidelity and effectiveness. Despite these limitations, the reporting guideline remains a vital tool for implementation research; future efforts should focus on optimizing its application—through refining operational guidelines, standardizing flexible adaptations, and involving stakeholders—to better guide implementation studies and continuously promote high-quality development in the field.

In recent years, remarkable advances have been made in lung transplantation regarding donor evaluation, perioperative support, and immune regulation, laying a foundation for improving the long-term survival of recipients. The rational application of extended criteria donor lungs and the popularization of ex vivo lung perfusion technology have enhanced the utilization efficiency and safety of marginal donor lungs. Refined assessment of risk factors such as donors’ smoking history and infectious status has reduced the incidence of primary graft dysfunction and postoperative infection. In terms of recipient management, individualized assessment systems have been gradually optimized. The standardized application of intraoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and the development of minimally invasive surgical techniques have effectively alleviated perioperative injuries. The optimization of postoperative immunosuppressive regimens and advances in rejection monitoring technologies have further improved the long-term survival of grafts. Nevertheless, chronic graft dysfunction and recurrent or refractory infections remain the major bottlenecks restricting long-term prognosis. Future research should focus on expanding donor sources, improving the repair quality of marginal donor lungs, promoting precise immunosuppression and anti-infection strategies, and comprehensively enhancing the long-term survival rate and quality of life of lung transplant recipients.

Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2025;32(5):676-680
Objective:To investigate the correlation between coronary heart disease and hemoglobin levels in high-altitude regions, China.Methods:This study is a single-center retrospective study involving 298 patients who were hospitalized and underwent coronary angiography at the People's Hospital of Xizang Autonomous Region from January to December 2022. The patients were divided into a lesion group and a control group based on the presence of coronary artery lesions. Among them, 152 patients were diagnosed with coronary heart disease and were assigned to the lesion group, while 146 patients had normal coronary angiography results and were included in the control group. Hemoglobin levels, age, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and other relevant data were compared between the two groups. Furthermore, based on the status of the coronary artery lesions, the patients were categorized into single-vessel lesion, double-vessel lesion, and triple-vessel lesion groups to analyze the correlation between the Gensini score for coronary artery disease and hemoglobin levels in each group.Results:In the control group, hemoglobin, age, D-dimer, fibrinogen degradation products, glycated hemoglobin, C-reactive protein, and fibrinogen were (182.52 ± 28.45) g/L, (59.84 ± 13.14) years, (0.62 ± 1.70) mg/L, (2.92 ± 7.41) mg/L, (6.20 ± 1.22)%, (8.46 ± 21.90) mg/L, and (3.59 ± 1.87) g/L, respectively. In the lesion group, these values were (156.53 ± 23.35) g/L, (56.72 ± 12.70) years, (1.42 ± 2.69) mg/L, (5.32 ± 9.93) mg/L, (6.85 ± 1.88)%, (44.56 ± 64.29) mg/L, and (4.48 ± 2.18) g/L, respectively. The lesion group had lower hemoglobin levels and younger age, while levels of D-dimer, fibrinogen degradation products, glycated hemoglobin, C-reactive protein, and fibrinogen were significantly higher ( t = -5.58, -8.75, -2.59, -2.00, -2.82, -5.29, -3.21, all P < 0.05). A binary logistic regression analysis of these factors revealed that hemoglobin ( OR = 0.35, 95% CI: 0.08-0.78) is a protective factor for coronary heart disease ( P < 0.05). Both D-dimer ( OR = 1.42, 95% CI: 1.00-2.15) and glycated hemoglobin ( OR = 1.30, 95% CI: 1.00-1.60) were identified as independent risk factors for coronary heart disease (both P < 0.05). In the lesion group, hemoglobin levels were highest in the single-vessel lesion group [(161.22 ± 19.28) g/L], followed by the double-vessel lesion group [(154.84 ± 23.66) g/L], and lowest in the triple-vessel lesion group [(144.34 ± 26.57) g/L, all P < 0.05]. The Gensini scores were highest in the triple-vessel lesion group (89.96 ± 33.14), followed by the double-vessel lesion group (59.25 ± 17.28), and lowest in the single-vessel lesion subgroup (8.35 ± 4.56) (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:Hemoglobin is a protective factor for coronary heart disease, with lower hemoglobin levels associated with more severe coronary artery lesions in coronary heart disease.

Objective:To investigate the short-term efficacy and safety of rituximab (RTX) in children with calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) resistant steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS).Methods:A retrospective case analysis was conducted. Thirteen children with CNI resistant SRNS who were regularly treated with RTX (375 mg/m 2 per dose (maximum dose 500 mg), 1 dose per week, a total of 4 doses) in Department of Nephrology, Children′s Hospital of Fudan University from January 2016 to December 2023 were enrolled. The general data, disease related information, urinary protein/creatinine, serum albumin, blood creatinine before RTX treatment, immunosuppressants, adverse events, and monthly urinary protein/creatinine, serum albumin, and blood creatinine indexes within 6 months after RTX treatment were collected. The changes of urinary protein/creatinine, serum albumin and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) before and after RTX at 3 and 6 months were analyzed by using paired sample t test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results:Among the 13 patients, 8 were male and 5 were female. The age of disease onset was 4.0 (2.9, 6.8) years and the age of RTX treatment was 9.8 (5.9, 13.6) years. There were 8 cases of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, 3 cases of minimal change disease and 2 cases of mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis. No clinically significant gene variation was detected in 12 cases and the other one did not receive gene test. Before RTX treatment, 11 cases were in chronic kidney disease stage G1, and 1 case each was in stage G2 and stage G3. Ten children completed 4 doses of RTX treatment, 1 patient completed 3 doses, and 2 patients completed 2 doses. Urinary protein/creatinine in 13 children at 3 and 6 months after RTX treatment was significantly lower than baseline (0.60 (0.13, 2.04), 0.49 (0.28, 1.10) vs. 1.44 (0.76, 4.11) mg/mg, Z=-2.34, -2.34, both P<0.05), and serum albumin was significantly higher than baseline ((35±8), (34±7) vs. (30±6) g/L, t=2.30, 2.60, both P<0.05). The eGFR at 6 months after RTX treatment was not significantly different from the baseline ((110±32) vs. (113±35) ml/(min·1.73 m 2), t=-0.76, P>0.05)). No serious adverse reactions occurred in this study. Conclusion:RTX could reduce urinary protein and increase serum albumin in short-term treatment in children with CNI resistant SRNS without significant side effects.

Pelvic fractures, the most severe bone trauma, account for approximately 3% of all fractures. As they are caused by high-energy injuries, their rates of mortality and disability are high. Over the past two centuries, the treatment strategies for these fractures have evolved from conservative therapy to open reduction and plate fixation, then to closed reduction and percutaneous screw fixation, and recently to screw fixation assisted by artificial intelligence. In the past 40 years, constant progress has been made in the treatment of pelvic fractures. It is generally acknowledged that a personalized treatment plan should be formulated based on each patient's age, fracture type, comorbidities, functional requirements and other factors when an appropriate treatment mode is chosen. The primary aim of treatment is to accelerate functional recovery, decrease the rate of disability after injury, and improve the quality of daily life of the patient. This paper reviews the treatment history of pelvic fractures, discusses the advantages and disadvantages of current treatment options, and looks ahead to future prospects, aiming to offer valuable references for related clinical practice.

The regulatory processes in developmental biology research are significantly influenced by long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). However, the dynamics of lncRNA expression during human tooth development remain poorly understood. In this research, we examined the lncRNAs present in the dental epithelium (DE) and dental mesenchyme (DM) at the late bud, cap, and early bell stages of human fetal tooth development through bulk RNA sequencing. Developmental regulators co-expressed with neighboring lncRNAs were significantly enriched in odontogenesis. Specific lncRNAs expressed in the DE and DM, such as PANCR, MIR205HG, DLX6-AS1, and DNM3OS, were identified through a combination of bulk RNA sequencing and single-cell analysis. Further subcluster analysis revealed lncRNAs specifically expressed in important regions of the tooth germ, such as the inner enamel epithelium and coronal dental papilla (CDP). Functionally, we demonstrated that CDP-specific DLX6-AS1 enhanced odontoblastic differentiation in human tooth germ mesenchymal cells and dental pulp stem cells. These findings suggest that lncRNAs could serve as valuable cell markers for tooth development and potential therapeutic targets for tooth regeneration.
