Childhood simple obesity has become a significant public health issue in China. Modern medicine primarily relies on lifestyle interventions and often suffers from poor long-term compliance, while pharmacological options are limited and associated with potential adverse effects. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a long history in the prevention and management of this condition, demonstrating eight distinct advantages, including systematic theoretical foundation, diversified therapeutic approaches, definite therapeutic efficacy, high safety profile, good patient compliance, comprehensive intervention strategies, emphasis on prevention, and stepwise treatment protocols. Additionally, TCM is characterized by six distinctive features: the use of natural medicinal substances, non-invasive external therapies, integration of medicinal dietetics, simple exercise regimens, precise syndrome differentiation, and diverse dosage forms. By combining internal and external treatments, TCM facilitates individualized regimen adjustment and holistic regulation, demonstrating remarkable effects in improving obesity-related metabolic indicators, regulating constitutional imbalance, and promoting healthy behaviors. However, challenges remain, such as inconsistent operational standards, insufficient high-quality clinical evidence, and a gap between basic research and clinical application. Future efforts should focus on accelerating the standardization of TCM diagnosis and treatment, conducting multicenter randomized controlled trials, and fostering interdisciplinary integration, so as to enhance the scientific validity and international recognition of TCM in the prevention and treatment of childhood obesity.

In recent years, the incidence of pulmonary nodules has kept rising. To give full play to the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the treatment of pulmonary nodules and identify the breakthrough points of integrating TCM with Western medicine, the China Association of Chinese Medicine organized medical experts in TCM and western medicine to carry out in-depth discussion regarding this disease. The discussion encompassed the modern medical advances, TCM theories of etiology and pathogenesis, the role and advantages of TCM in the whole course management of pulmonary nodules, contents and methods of research on pulmonary nodules, and science popularization work, aiming to provide a reference for clinical practice and scientific research. After discussion, the experts concluded that the occurrence of pulmonary nodules was rooted in the deficiency of the lung and spleen and triggered by phlegm dampness, blood stasis, and Qi stagnation. TCM can treat pulmonary nodules by controlling and reducing nodules, improving physical constitution, ameliorating multi-system nodular diseases, reducing anxiety and avoiding excessive diagnosis and treatment, and serving as an alternative for patients who are unwilling or unfit for surgical treatment. At present, the optimal diagnosis and treatment strategy for pulmonary nodules has not been formed, which needs to be further studied from multiple perspectives such as clinical epidemiology, biology, and evidence-based medicine. The primary task of current research is to find out the advantages, effective prescriptions, and target populations and determine the effective outcomes of TCM in the treatment of pulmonary nodules. At the same time, basic research should be carried out to explore the etiology and biological behaviors of pulmonary nodules. The expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary nodules with integrated TCM and Western medicine needs to be continuously revised to guide clinicians to conduct standardized, scientific, and accurate effective diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To establish and validate a fluorescence PCR with internal positive control for rapid Mycoplasma detection. Methods:A fluorescence PCR with internal positive control for Mycoplasma detection was developed and verified for its specificity, limit of detection, and robustness. A sample of fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTSV) virus strains was tested with this method, and the result was compared with those of culture method and indicator cell culture method. Results:The established fluorescence PCR had good specificity and could amplify 11 kinds of plasmids containing Mycoplasma 16S rRNA gene with high efficiency. There was no cross reaction with the genomic DNAs of Clostridium sporogenes, Clostridium acetobutylicum, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella enteritidis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans, Vero cells, RD cells, and SF9 cells. The amplification efficiency of the internal positive control was basically consistent with that of the target gene of Mycoplasma, suggesting that the internal positive control could be used to detect the presence of PCR inhibitors. The sensitivity of the established method was high, and the detection limit was 10 colony-forming unit (CFU)/ml for Mycoplasma fermentans, 5 CFU/ml for Mycoplasma arginine, 5 CFU/ml for Mycoplasma gallisepticum, 5 CFU/ml for Mycoplasma hyorhinis, 5 CFU/ml for Acholeplasma laidlawii, 5 CFU/ml for Mycoplasma orale, 5 CFU/ml for Mycoplasma pneumoniae, 5 CFU/ml for Mycoplasma synoviae, and 1 CFU/ml for Spiroplasma citri by 7500 Fast real-time PCR system. At the detection limit of each species, there was no significant difference in the positive detection rate using different thermal cycler types. The established fluorescence PCR, culture method, and indicator cell culture were performed to detect Mycoplasma in the sample of SFTSV virus strains, and the results all showed Mycoplasma contamination. Conclusions:The established fluorescence PCR has high specificity, sensitivity, and robustness, and can be used as an alternative method for rapid detection of Mycoplasma.

Objective:To evaluate the Efficacy of bicarbonate Ringer′s solution (BRS) for early fluid resuscitation in patients with septic shock.Methods:In this prospective cohort study, 80 patients of either sex with septic shock, aged 18-80 yr, with a body mass index of 18-30 kg/m 2, who required early fluid resuscitation at the Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Unit of the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from April 2021 to April 2023, were included and divided into lactated Ringer′s solution group (LR group, n=40) and bicarbonate Ringer′s solution group (BR group, n=40). After the corresponding crystalloid solution 30 ml/kg was intravenously infused over 3-6 h for resuscitation, vasopressor drugs were used to achieve the goal of resuscitation: central venous pressure 8-12 mmHg, mean arterial pressure≥65 mmHg, urine volume> 0.5 ml·kg -1·h -1, the superior vena cava oxygen saturation≥0.7. Arterial blood gas analysis was performed immediately after the diagnosis of septic shock (before resuscitation), immediately after the end of fluid resuscitation and at 6 h after the diagnosis. The vasoactive-inotropic score was calculated. The plasma syndecan-1 concentration and serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and creatinine (Cr) concentrations were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay before resuscitation and at 24 h after resuscitation. The 28-day all-cause mortality was recorded. Results:The pH value and HCO 3- concentration were significantly increased immediately after the end of resuscitation in BR group compared with the baseline before resuscitation ( P<0.05). Compared with LR group, the HCO 3- concentration, normal rate of lactic acid and improvement rate of AST were significantly increased immediately after the end of resuscitation ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the other parameters of blood gas analysis, vasoactive-inotropic score, plasma syndecan-1 concentrations, concentrations of ALT, AST and Cr in serum, improvement rate of ALT, improvement rate of Cr, and 28-day all-cause mortality in BR group ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Bicarbonate Ringer′s solution is superior to lactated Ringer′s solution for early fluid resuscitation in the patients with septic shock.

Objective:To evaluate the application of digital visualization in preoperative planning for surgical clearance of vertebral infection lesions following percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP).Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the 13 patients with infectious spondylitis following PVP who had undergone one-stage posterior debridement and interbody bone grafting combined with instrumentation at Department of Spinal Surgery, Zhengzhou Orthopaedics Hospital from January 2016 to December 2022. They were 4 males and 9 females with an age of (71.4±6.5) years. Before surgery, the CT raw data of the patients were imported into software Mimics to reconstruct a three-dimensional model of the spine. After the distribution of bone cement in the model and its relationships with the vertebral plate, pedicle, articular process, and spinal cord were observed, a safe area for spinal canal surgery was designed. Intraoperative operations were carried out according to the preoperative planning. Surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, improvements in American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) grading, and postoperative complications were recorded. The therapeutic efficacy was evaluated by comparisons of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), visual analogue scale (VAS), and Oswestry disability index (ODI) between preoperation, 2 weeks and 3 months postoperation, and the last follow-up.Results:Surgery went on successfully in all the 13 patients according to the preoperative planning. The surgical time was (275.9±28.3) min and the intraoperative blood loss (865.4±183.0) mL. All patients were followed up for (24.7±9.4) months. The levels of ESR, CRP, VAS, and ODI at 2 weeks, 3 months and the last follow-up were significantly lower than those before surgery ( P<0.05). At the last follow-up, X-ray and CT examinations showed good positions of internal fixation and sufficient bone graft fusion. The ASIA grading recovered from preoperative D to E in 5 patients. No incision infection, sinus formation, worsening of neurological symptoms, loosening or rupture of internal fixation, or worsening of neurological dysfunction were found. Conclusion:With the assistance of 3D visualization, the spinal cord, bone cement, and debridement area can be visualized directly to reduce nerve injury complications so that a safe and effective preoperative planning can be made for surgical clearance of vertebral infection lesions following PVP.
