Acute lung injury （ALI） is a life-threatening condition characterized by uncontrolled pulmonary inflammatory responses， presenting high morbidity and mortality rates that pose serious threats to patient health. The pathogenesis of ALI involves complex interactions among pathological mechanisms including immune-inflammatory responses， disruption of the alveolar-capillary barrier， mesenchymal stem cell dysfunction， metabolic disorders， ferroptosis， and alterations in the gut microbiota. The dysregulation of programmed cell death （PCD） has increasingly emerged as a research focus. PCD represents a genetically regulated autonomous process of cell death， crucial for maintaining the internal stability of organisms. Recent studies indicate that multiple PCD modes， including apoptosis， pyroptosis， necroptosis， autophagy， and ferroptosis， participate in the development and progression of ALI by mediating pathological processes such as alveolar epithelial cell injury and vascular endothelial barrier disruption. Current therapeutic approaches for ALI encompass lung-protective ventilation， body fluid management， mesenchymal stem cell therapy， and pharmacological interventions. While these measures may alleviate clinical symptoms， they remain unable to reverse the pathological progression of lung injury. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） possesses the unique advantages of a holistic perspective and syndrome differentiation-based treatment， achieving breakthrough progress in targeted PCD intervention for ALI. It can mitigate pulmonary tissue injury by suppressing inflammatory responses， regulating immune function， and improving coagulation disorders， thereby delaying the onset and progression of ALI. This paper delves into the molecular mechanisms of PCD in ALI， systematically reviewing the effects of TCM extracts， active constituents （terpenoids， saponins， flavonoids， and phenols）， and compound formulas （e.g.， Qingjie Huagong prescription， Maxing Kugan Tang， and Yifei Jianpi prescription） in improving pulmonary epithelial cell function and mitigating lung injury by modulating PCD pathways. This review aims to provide theoretical underpinnings and novel directions for drug development in the clinical prevention and treatment of ALI.

This paper presents an automatic acquisition and analytic procedure of acupuncture manipulation based on optical navigation, aiming at solving the shortcomings of existing acquisition methods of acupuncture manipulation. An acquisition holder installed at the handle tail of filiform needle was designed to display the movement trajectory of the needle during acupuncture delivery by collecting the movement trajectory of holder. The 3-month old male Bama miniature pig was selected as the experimental subject, and 6 points, "Bojian" "Qiangfeng" "Housanli" "Xiaokua" "Huiyang" (BL35) and "Baihui" (GV20), were selected during acupuncture manipulation. The optical navigation system was used to collect the real-time data, and these data were per-processed and analyzed using mean filtering and Fourier transform. The acupuncture procedure was divided into 3 stages, inserting, lifting-thrusting, and twisting. The results showed that the accuracy was 96.3% at lifting-thrusting stage, and that was 100.0% at twisting stage. The decomposition effect of the entire procedure was satisfactory. This study provides a new approach to the quantitative analysis of acupuncture manipulation. In the future, it needs to further optimize the algorithm and expand the sample size so as to improve the accuracy of this analytic technique.

Objective: To understand the incidence and influencing factors of postoperative constipation in patients with malignant tumors who undergo oral and maxillofacial surgery and construct a constipation risk prediction model to provide a reference for the prevention and treatment of postoperative constipation. Methods: The data of 191 patients who underwent oral and maxillofacial malignant tumor surgery at the Affiliated Stomatological Hospital of Sun Yat sen University from June 2019 to June 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. The independent influencing factors were selected via univariate analysis and logistic multivariate regression analysis, a risk prediction nomogram was established, and the prediction model was evaluated by the area under the ROC curve. Both internal and external use the C index to verify the accuracy of the model. Results : Among 191 patients, 52 (27.23%) had postoperative constipation. Univariate analysis showed that a preoperative secret history of defecation, total energy intake, tracheotomy, smoking, drinking, operation duration, bleeding volume, bed time, eating homogenate diet, sex, surgical repair method, use of probiotics, T-stage of cancer and food intake may be the influencing factors of postoperative constipation in patients with oral and maxillofacial malignant tumors (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that repair method, bed time and sex were independent risk factors for postoperative constipation in patients with oral and maxillofacial malignant tumors (P<0.05). The repair method was a fibular myocutaneous flap with a long bed time, and male patients were prone to constipation after surgery. The c-index values in the training group and the verification group were 0.882 and 0.953, respectively. The area under the ROC curve of the training group was 0.909 (95%CI: 0.850-0.968), and the area under the ROC curve of the verification group was 0.893 (95%CI: 0.787-0.999). The nomogram showed good discrimination ability. Conclusion The repair method, bed time and sex are independent risk factors for postoperative constipation in patients with oral and maxillofacial malignant tumors. The risk prediction model has good discrimination ability.

Objective:To conduct a longitudinal study on different social support needs of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) at different stages undergoing emergency PCI based on timing it right framework combined with multidimensional model of social support, so as to provide reference for the implementation of accurate nursing.Methods:Using the interpretative phenomenological research method, a total of 21 emergency PCI patients from Department of Cardiology in two ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Taiyuan were selected from December 2019 to July 2020 by the purposive sampling method. According to the course of the disease, 4 semi-structured interviews were conducted on the patients, combined with participatory observation. The interpretive phenomenological analysis method was used to analyze the data, and the social support multi-dimensional model was used to classify the results.Results:A total of 23 themes were extracted. The information support requirements of each phase were in order of diagnosis and risk, AMI and PCI related knowledge, medical notification rights, individualized paper discharge guidance, causes of discomfort and first aid knowledge (the latter two phases were the same) . The tool support requirements for each phase were emergency medical services, advanced stents and emergency PCI technology, green channels, economic support and mobile health care resources (the latter two phases were the same) . The emotional support needs of each stage included companionship and sense of security, acceptance and encouragement, psychological adjustment and construction (the same in the next phase) and strengthening independence. The social network support needs of each stage included the assistance of strangers to send to the hospital, the virtue and skill of medical staff, peer support, and reintegration into society (the latter three stages were the same) . The need for self-esteem support in each period was believing that they can survive, taking care of themselves as much as possible, keeping their illness confidential, receiving recognition for their recovery and giving back to others.Conclusions:The social support needs of emergency PCI patients change with the course of the disease. It is recommended that medical staff adopt a dynamic and continuous care concept, establish and improve a framework of social support needs that meets the local humanities, so as to facilitate education, evaluation and intervention.

OBJECTIVES: To analyze the clinical characteristics and prognosis of children with anti-N-methyl--aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis and to provide a basis for early clinical identification of this disease. METHODS: The clinical data of 42 cases of anti-NMDAR encephalitis at Department of Pediatrics, Second Xiangya Hospital, Central South University from January 2015 to March 2018 were collected. The clinical features and followed-up outcomes were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: There were 15 cases (35.7%) of males and 27 cases (64.3%) of females in 42 children, with a ratio of 1꞉1.8. They were aged from 4 months to 17 years, with an average of (9.20±4.66) years. The most common initial symptoms were seizures (47.6%, 20/42) and mental behavior disorder (35.7%, 15/42). During the course of the disease, 85.7% patients(36/42) had mental and behavior disorder, 85.7% patients (36/42) had epilepsy, 76.2% (32/42) had speech disorder, 66.7% patients (28/42) had dyskinesia, 66.7% patients (28/42) had the decreased level of consciousness, 61.9% patients (26/42) had autonomic instability, and 57.1% (24/42) patients had sleep disorder. All the children had positive antibody against NMDA receptor resistance encephalitis in cerebrospinal fluid. Head MRI showed the abnormal incidence was 50.0% (21/42), and the lesions involved in parietal lobe, frontal lobe, temporal lobe, occipital lobe, midbrain, thalamus, basal ganglia and optic nerve. There was a patient with optic nerve damage combined with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody positive. Forty cases were examined by electroencephalogram (EEG), 92.5% cases (37/40) were abnormal, mainly showing diffuse slow waves, and δ brushes could be seen in severe cases. And there was 1 patient (2.4%) complicated with mesenteric teratoma. The mRS score (2.14±1.46) at discharge was significantly lower than the highest mRS score (3.88±1.38) during hospitalization (<0.05). After 3-39 months of follow-up, mRS score at 3 months after discharge was only 0.81±1.29, which was still improved compared with that at discharge, 76.2% cases (32/42) experienced complete or near-complete recovery (mRS score≤2), and 4.8% (2/42) cases relapsed. There was no mortality; the initial time of immunotherapy and the highest mRS score in the course of the disease were the factors affecting the prognosis. The earlier the starting time for immunotherapy and the lower mRS score in the course of the disease were, the better the prognosis was. CONCLUSIONS Seizures, mental and behavior disorder, dyskinesias, speech disorder and autonomic instability are common clinical manifestations of anti-NMDAR encephalitis in children. The effect of immunotherapy is significant, and the time to start immunotherapy and the severity of the disease are important factors affecting the prognosis. Anti-NMDAR encephalitis can be combined with other autoantibodies, but its clinical significance and mechanism need further study.
