Implementation science (IS) aims to systematically analyze and address the real-world gaps from evidence to practice and the influencing factors of the context. It is necessary to carry out qualitative research to gather relevant implementation outcomes. Nevertheless, traditional qualitative analysis has issues such as consuming a great deal of time and energy, and it is unable to promptly provide the crucial data required for implementation science research. The Rapid Qualitative Analysis (RQA) method, through semi-structured interviews and the adoption of techniques such as immediate data condensation and matrix analysis, can effectively shorten the cycle of qualitative data collection and data processing. RQA can promptly identify social determinants of health such as structural barriers, facilitators, and the behavioral characteristics of target groups. It provides a real-time basis for public health decision-making, the interpretation of complex social phenomena, and the process and effectiveness evaluation of research projects. Although RQA is difficult to conduct in-depth theoretical analysis based on grounded theory, its efficiency and flexibility make it the preferred tool for large-scale and time-sensitive research. Thus, it has been widely applied in implementation science research. This paper sorts out the core concepts and commonly used technical methods of RQA, as well as the differences between RQA and traditional qualitative analysis. It also explores the applications of RQA in intervention optimization, process evaluation, and implementation outcome evaluation. By integrating specific cases, this paper clarifies its application value in the field of implementation science. In the future, it is advisable to explore the integration of RQA with technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data, in order to bridge the gap between the transformation of scientific research achievements into practice. Under circumstances of limited resources or tight time constraints, RQA can be used to efficiently conduct implementation science research, providing convenient and scientific methodological and technical support for accelerating evidence-based practice.

Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） clinical trials face challenges such as low participant compliance， insufficient geographical coverage， and cost-effectiveness imbalances. Decentralized clinical trials （DCT）， enabled by digital technology for remote data collection and monitoring， offer a new direction for TCM clinical trial research. This article systematically reviews three novel clinical trial design models. Combining the holistic concept and indivi-dualized treatment characteristics of TCM， it analyzes the challenges currently faced in TCM DCT practice， including the digitization and standardization of TCM theory， data security， privacy protection and patient engagement difficu-lties， insufficient ethical review and regulatory system adaptation， inadequate personnel training， and a shortage of interdisciplinary talent. Addressing these challenges， the article proposes methodological recommendations for DCT implementation that align with the principles of TCM diagnosis and treatment. These recommendations include promoting the intelligentization and standardization of TCM practices， constructing a full-chain data security and privacy protection system， improving the ethical framework and clarifying regulatory responsibilities， and cultivating and building interdisciplinary talent and capabilities， which provide theoretical and technical references for establishing standardized DCT practices in TCM.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of hip-knee-ankle active and passive exercise therapy in patients with early-to mid-stage knee osteoarthritis(KOA).Methods A total of 180 patients with early to mid-stage knee osteoarthritis(KOA)were recruited from the First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei University of Tradi-tional Chinese Medicine between March 2023 and March 2024.Patients were randomly assigned to one of four groups:active movement group,passive movement group,combined movement group,and control group,with 45 patients in each group.The active movement group received hip-knee-ankle active movement therapy daily until the end of follow-up.The passive movement group underwent hip-knee-ankle passive movement therapy three times per week for two weeks.The combined movement group received both active and passive therapies.The control group was administered oral celecoxib capsules(200 mg once daily for two weeks).Joint function was assessed in all four groups before treatment,at two weeks post-treatment,and at 14 weeks post-treatment.The primary outcome measure was the WOMAC joint function score,while secondary outcomes included the WOMAC pain score,stiffness score,and quality of life score(SF-12).Results A total of 160 patients completed the trial,with 39 in the active group,42 in the passive group,40 in the combined group,and 39 in the control group.There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics among the groups(P>0.05).Compared to baseline,the WOMAC scores for function,pain,and stiffness in the passive,combined,and control groups decreased significantly at both 2 and 14 weeks post-treatment(P<0.05),while the SF-12 scores increased significantly(P<0.05).Between 2 and 14 weeks post-treat-ment,the active and combined groups showed further significant decreases in WOMAC function,pain,and stiffness scores(P<0.05)and increases in SF-12 scores(P<0.05).At 2 weeks post-treatment,compared to the control group,the passive and combined groups exhibited significantly lower WOMAC function scores(P<0.05),with no significant difference between the passive and combined groups(P>0.05).By 14 weeks post-treatment,the active and combined groups demonstrated significantly lower WOMAC function scores(P<0.05),with the combined group showing a significantly lower score than the active group(P<0.05).Conclusion The four therapeutic approaches demonstrate a certain degree of efficacy in improving joint function for patients with early and mid-stage KOA.The passive therapy group exhibits superior short-term outcomes,while the active therapy group shows better long-term benefits.The combined therapy group presents notable advantages in both short-term and long-term effi-cacy,although its short-term effectiveness does not surpass that of the passive therapy group.It is recommended for patients with early and mid-stage KOA who have underlying gastrointestinal and cardiovascular conditions.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC)is a malignant lesion originating from the oral mucosal squamous epithelium,account-ing for over 80％of oral and maxillofacial malignancies.Key etiological factors include tobacco,alcohol abuse,and betel quid chewing.In China,its incidence has shown an overall upward trend,posing a significant threat to public health.OSCC exhibits high local invasive-ness,making early diagnosis critical for improving prognosis.Its clinical management requires close multidisciplinary collaboration among oral and maxillofacial surgery,head and neck surgery,radiation oncology,medical oncology,reconstructive surgery,radiology,patholo-gy,and nutritional support teams.Given the increasing disease burden of OSCC and rapid development of multidisciplinary collaborative models,an expert panel has formulated this integrated management consensus based on evidence-based medicine and extensive deliber-ation.Centered on the'Prevention-Screening-Diagnosis-Treatment-Rehabilitation'framework,the consensus provides comprehensive guidance for the entire disease course of OSCC patients,aiming to standardize clinical practice.

Objective:To explore the impact of general self-efficacy on the work immersion experience and the mediating effect of resilience in intern nursing students, so as to provide a basis for the development of interventions.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select 210 intern nursing students in the Shandong Provincial Third Hospital from January to September 2024 for the study. Nursing students were surveyed using the General Information Questionnaire, Work Immersion Experience Scale, Medical Staff Resilience Scale, and General Self-Efficacy Scale. The mediating effects test was performed using the Process plug-in in SPSS 26.0.Results:A total of 210 questionnaires were distributed and 204 valid questionnaires were recovered, with a valid recovery rate of 97.14%. The total scores of the Work Immersion Experience Scale, Medical Staff Resilience Scale, and General Self-Efficacy Scale were (107.33±17.06) , (63.12±12.96) and (25.65±4.60) , respectively. General self-efficacy was a positive predictor of the work immersion experience ( β=0.321) of intern nursing students. Resilience partially mediated the effect between general self-efficacy and the work immersion experience of intern nursing students, with an effect size of 0.126 and a 95% confidence interval of (0.050, 0.211) , which accounted for 28.19% (0.126/0.447) of the total effect. Conclusions:Intern nursing students with high general self-efficacy have good work immersion experiences, and resilience partially mediates the effect between self-efficacy and work immersion experiences. Nursing educators and administrators can improve the work immersion experience of intern nursing students by designing targeted training courses, providing adequate practice opportunities, and conducting psychotherapy to enhance their self-efficacy and resilience.

Oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma(OPSCC)is a malignant tumor originating from the squamous epithelium of the oro-pharyngeal mucosa,accounting for more than 90％of oropharyngeal malignancies.In recent years,human papillomavirus(HPV)infec-tion has become one of the primary etiological factors of oropharyngeal squamous carcinoma.The incidence of HPV-associated oropharyn-geal squamous carcinoma has been rising annually,with a noticeable trend toward younger populations,posing a significant threat to hu-man health.Due to the distinct biological behavior and clinical characteristics of HPV-associated oropharyngeal squamous carcinoma com-pared to its non-HPV-related counterpart,the diagnostic and treatment strategies for oropharyngeal squamous carcinoma have undergone substantial changes.Prevention and screening for oropharyngeal squamous carcinoma are of critical importance.The diagnostic and treat-ment process involves multi-disciplinary collaboration,including oral and maxillofacial surgery,otolaryngology,head and neck surgery,oncology,radiology and pathology.Based on evidence from clinical practice,a comprehensive,integrated diagnostic and therapeutic ap-proach has been established,centered around the concept of"prevention,screening,diagnosis,treatment,and rehabilitation",covering the entire patient lifecycle and providing a valuable reference for clinical practice.

The endometrial thickness is a crucial indicator for pregnancy success. Thin endometrium is typically related to low clinical pregnancy and live birth rate. Current research indicates that granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is a glycoprotein that recognized as a cytokine and growth factor, which may support the establishment of endometrial receptivity during embryo implantation through promoting angiogenesis, embryo adhesion, and trophoblast invasion, thus increasing the endometrial thickness and clinical pregnancy rate. However, there are still conflicts about the efficacy of G-CSF. Therefore, identifying the pathological mechanism of thin endometrium and how G-CSF promotes endometrial thickness and receptivity has clinical significance. This article will review the progress on clinical research and molecular mechanism of G-CSF in treating thin endometrium.

Objective To establish a combined model of spectral CT multi-parameters and clinical features to distinguish between gastric poorly cohesive carcinoma and tubular adenocarcinoma.Methods A total of 87 patients with gastric cancer confirmed by postoperative pathology were retrospectively selected,including 26 patients with poorly cohesive carcinoma and 61 patients with tubular adenocarcinoma.Predictors were identified by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses,and a combined model was established.The area under the curve(AUC)of receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the differential diagnostic efficiency of the parameters and the model.The AUC was compared by DeLong method.Results The gender[odds ratio(OR)5.124,P=0.004],normalized iodine density in the arterial phase(nIoDAP)(OR 5.789,P=0.017),arterial enhancement fraction(AEF)(OR 7.007,P=0.002)and ΔIoD(OR 0.025,P=0.021)were identified as independent predictors for poorly cohesive carcinoma by logistic regression analysis.The AUC of combined model established by four variables in distinguishing poorly cohesive carcinoma and tubular adenocarcinoma was 0.837[95％confidence interval(CI)0.716-0.907],which was significantly higher than that of single tumor spectral CT parameters(P＜0.01).Conclusion The combined model based on patients'gender and tumor spectral CT parameters(nIoDAP,AEF and ΔIoD)can effectively distinguish gastric poorly cohesive carcinoma and tubular adenocarcinoma,providing a basis for gastric cancer patients'individualized treatment strategy.
