ObjectiveThis paper aims to observe the syndrome improvement and negative antigen conversion rate of Qingxuan Daozhi formula in the treatment of influenza in children （heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome）. MethodsThrough a multi-center randomized controlled methodology design，confirmed influenza cases were collected from October 2022 to April 2023 in the pediatrics department of eight hospitals，such as Dongfang Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. A total of 180 children with influenza and heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome conforming to the standard were recruited through the clinic. The sick children meeting the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into groups by a block-randomized method. The children in the experimental group were treated with Qingxuan Daozhi formula for five days，and those in the control group were treated with Oseltamivir Phosphate Granules for five days. The primary efficacy indicator was the negative conversion rate of influenza antigen detection. Secondary efficacy indicators were the Canadian acute respiratory illness and flu scale （CARIFS） and the incidence of complications，severe cases， and critical cases. Follow-up observation was conducted on the day of enrollment，48 hours after medication，72 hours after medication， and （6+1） d after medication. ResultsOne hundred and eighty participants were randomly assigned to the experimental group （90 cases） or the control group （90 cases）. All participants were followed up during the study. Comparison of influenza antigen detection results in the primary efficacy indicators showed that the average time of negative influenza antigen conversion in the experimental group was （5.29±1.25） d，and that in the control group was （5.40±1.68） d，without a statistically significant difference. After five days of intervention，52 cases in the experimental group and 51 cases in the control group converted to negative，without a statistically significant difference. CARIFS score results in the secondary efficacy indicators showed that during 72 hours after intervention，there were statistically significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in three dimensions， including headache，muscle soreness， and the need for extra care （P<0.05）. On the （6+1） days after the intervention，the differences in both the experimental group and the control group were statistically significant in 10 dimensions， including sore throat，bad sleep，uncomfortable feeling，poor spirit and fatigue，crying more than usual，the need for extra care，symptom，function，influence on parents，and total score （P<0.05）. The comparison results within the group in the dimensional scores of symptom， function， and influence on parents，as well as the CARIFS total score showed that with the delay of follow-up time，scores of both groups decreased significantly，with a statistically significant difference （P<0.01）. Inter-group comparison results showed that the mean score of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group at the time of enrollment. With the progress of intervention，the score of the experimental group was significantly decreased compared with that of the control group. At the end of follow-up，the mean score of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group，with no statistically significant difference. In terms of the incidence of complications，severe cases， and critical cases， there were no complications，severe cases， and critical cases in the two groups，without a statistically significant difference. ConclusionThe symptom improvement effect and negative antigen conversion rate of Qingxuan Daozhi formula in the treatment of influenza in children （heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome） are not inferior to Oseltamivir Phosphate granules， and children's acceptance is better. It can be more widely used in clinical treatment of influenza in children （heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome）.

ObjectiveTo analyze the output and efficiency of chronic disease management services for hypertension and diabetes in community health service institutions in Shanghai, to evaluate the allocation and efficiency of chronic disease management resources, and to provide references for improving the efficiency of chronic disease management in Shanghai’s communities. MethodsA total of 73 community health institutions from 15 districts of Shanghai were selected. Based on the chronic disease management resource data of community health institutions in 2019, 2021, and 2023, descriptive methods and the BCC model in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) were used to analyze the resource allocation, service output, and the efficiency of chronic disease management services in community health institutions in Shanghai. ResultsFrom 2019 to 2023, the indicators of resource allocation and service output of community health service institutions in Shanghai all showed upward trends. In terms of service efficiency, the average number of chronic disease patients managed by each health technician decreased from 237 to 231, and the number of patients served per 1 000 working hours decreased from 54 to 44. DEA efficiency analyses showed that the average overall efficiency increased from 0.867 in 2019 to 0.886 in 2021 and then decreased to 0.811 in 2023. The average technical efficiency decreased from 0.901 to 0.847, which was the main reason for the decline in overall efficiency. The average scale efficiency showed an initial increase followed by a decrease, rising from 0.961 in 2019 to 0.977 in 2021 and dropping back to 0.955 in 2023. The number of strong effective districts (overall efficiency=1.000) decreased from 6 in 2019 to 3 in 2023, and the efficiency differences between districts expanded. The range of overall efficiency widened from 0.622‒1.000 to 0.513‒1.000, indicating a decline in overall efficiency and an increase in inter-district heterogeneity. ConclusionFrom 2019 to 2023, the total volume of resource allocation and service output for chronic disease management in community health service institutions in Shanghai increased continuously. However, both the service output efficiency and the overall resource allocation efficiency declined, driven primarily by a decrease in technical efficiency, and accompanied by widening inter‑district disparities.

Objective To evaluate the effect of remimazolam premedication on emergence delirium （ED） in children undergoing tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy. Methods Children aged 3-6 years who underwent tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy with general anesthesia in Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Xiamen University from July 2023 to September 2024 were randomly divided into 0.1 mg/kg remimazolam group （group R1）, 0.2 mg/kg remimazolam group group R2） and normal saline group （group P）. Three groups were sedated preoperatively with remimazolam 0.1 mg/kg, remimazolam 0.2 mg/kg and normal saline, respectively. The primary outcome was the incidence of ED. The secondary outcomes included the parental separation anxiety scale （PSAS） score when entering the operating room, the induction compliance checklist （ICC） score at induction, the anesthetic recovery time, the incidence of rescue propofol for ED, the face, legs, activity, cry, and consolability （FLACC） score and the incidence of postoperative pain during the recovery period, the incidence of adverse reactions during the operation and postoperatively, and the incidence of negative postoperative behavioral changes （NPOBCs） at first day, 7th day, 30th day postoperatively. Results A total of 119 children completed the study, including 41 children in group R1, 38 children in group R2, and 40 children ingroup P. The incidence of ED and propofol rescue, the PSAS scores and ICC scores of group R1 and R2 were lower than that of group P （P<0.05）, and the above results in group R2 was better than those in group R1 （P<0.05）. The FLACC score, the incidence of postoperative pain, and the incidence of adverse reactions among the three groups had no difference （P>0.05）. The incidence of NPOBCs at 1st day and 7th day postoperatively in group R1 and group R2 was lower than that in group P （P<0.05）, but no difference was detected at 30th day postoperatively among the three groups （P>0.05）. Conclusion Remimazolam used for preoperative sedation could reduce the incidence of ED in children undergoing tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy, and had a positive effect on alleviating the preoperative anxiety and preventing NPOBCs.

ObjectiveTo investigate the patterns of chronic disease comorbidity among permanent elderly residents in Xuhui District of Shanghai, and to analyze the impact of different comorbidity patterns on the elderly’s ability to perform activities of daily living. MethodsBased on data from the 2015 and 2021 Surveys on Health Status and Health Service Utilization among Permanent Residents in Xuhui District of Shanghai, the study included permanent residents who fully participated in both surveys, were aged 60 years or older at the 2015 survey, self-reported having a chronic disease, and reported no significant changes in their chronic disease status between the two surveys. A prospective cohort study design was adopted, using the 2015 data as the baseline and the 2021 survey data as follow-up data. Physical examinations and questionnaire surveys were conducted by the Shanghai Xuhui District Center for Disease Control and Prevention in the subdistricts and towns within the jurisdiction from April to July in both 2015 and 2021. Latent class analysis (LCA) was used to classify comorbidity patterns across 11 types of chronic diseases. The smaller the values of the Akaike information criterion (AIC), the Bayesian information criterion (BIC), and the sample-corrected Bayesian information criterion (aBIC), the better the model fits. The Barthel index (BI) and the Lawton and Brody Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale (LB-IADL) were used to assess the participants’ activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL). Multiple linear regression and multivariate logistic regression models were used to analyze the association between different comorbidity patterns and ADL and IADL. ResultsA total of 1 608 study participants were enrolled. Among them, 671 (41.73%) self-reported having no chronic diseases. The prevalence of 11 types of chronic diseases was as follows: hypertension in 743 participants (46.21%), heart disease in 148 participants (9.20%), cerebrovascular disease in 37 participants (2.30%), diabetes or abnormal blood glucose in 310 participants (19.28%), other endocrine system diseases (non-diabetic) in 39 participants (2.43%), malignant tumors in 37 participants (2.30%), chronic lung disease in 16 participants (1.00%), gout in 8 participants (0.50%), musculoskeletal disorders in 34 participants (2.11%), gastric or digestive system diseases in 27 participants (1.68%), and dyslipidemia in 15 participants (0.93%). LCA was used to classify comorbidity patterns of chronic diseases among older adults into 1 to 9 latent category combinations. Model 5 (i.e., 5 latent categories) had the lowest BIC (7 112.69) and aBIC (6 909.38), with a relatively low AIC (6 768.20), indicating the best model fit; thus, five latent categories represented the optimal combination in this study. The five latent categories (and their respective proportions of study participants) were the healthy control group (41.73%), the hypertension group (31.28%), the diabetes-hypertension group (19.28%), the severe illness group (5.29%), and the other metabolic diseases group (2.43%). According to multiple linear regression analyses, compared with the healthy control group, the diabetes-hypertension group had significantly lower BI-20 scores (b=-0.952, 95%CI: -1.317‒ -0.587, P<0.001) and lower IADL scores (b=-0.744, 95%CI: -0.999‒ -0.489, P<0.001); the severe illness group (b=-0.644, 95%CI: -1.072‒ -0.217, P=0.003) and the hypertension group (b=-0.344, 95%CI: -0.562‒ -0.125, P=0.002) had lower IADL scores. According to multivariate logistic regression analyses, compared with the healthy control group, older adults in the diabetes-hypertension group had a higher risk of disability (OR=2.835, 95%CI: 1.392‒5.774), impaired ADL function (OR=2.470, 95%CI: 1.637‒3.726), and impaired IADL function (OR=1.739, 95%CI: 1.264‒2.392); older adults in the severe illness group had a higher risk of impaired ADL function (OR=2.206, 95%CI: 1.171‒4.155). ConclusionAmong the elderly participating in the Survey on Health Status and Health Service Utilization of Permanent Residents in Xuhui District of Shanghai, diabetes-hypertension is one of the key chronic disease comorbidity combinations and has adverse effects on both ADL and IADL. Community health management should prioritize the elderly with diabetes-hypertension comorbidity, and strengthen early screening and comprehensive interventions to slow the decline in ADL and IADL.

Objective: To evaluate the cost utility of different influenza vaccination strategies for primary and secondary school students in Anshun City, so as to provide healtheconomic evidence for influenza prevention and control in this population. Methods: Based on the demographic data of 380 700 students aged 5-14 in Anshun City in 2024, a decision tree model for different influenza vaccination strategies was constructed. The incremental cost utility ratio (ICUR) and net monetary benefit (NMB) were calculated, and sensitivity analysis was performed to assess the robustness of the model results. Results: For influenza vaccination among primary and secondary school students in Anshun City, compared with the selfpaid strategy (2% coverage), the free strategy (45% coverage) and the target strategy (70% coverage) both yielded an ICUR of -7 874.29 yuan per quality adjusted life year (QALY). When using 1 and 3 times the per capita Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as the willingness to pay thresholds, the per capita Net Monetary Benefit (NMB) was 1 000, 1 600 and 2 900, 4 500 RMB, respectively. The number of influenza infections or school absenteeism decreased by 25% and 40%, while saving a total cost of (46.779 5 and 73.976 8) million yuan, and increasing QALY by 5 940.79 and 9 394.73, respectively. Sensitivity analysis showed that within the reasonable fluctuation range of parameters, the ICUR remained consistently lower than the one and three times willingness to pay. Furthermore, 99% of the simulation results for both the free and target strategies fell below those thresholds, indicating high robustness of the model results. Conclusion Implementing free and target influenza vaccination strategies for primary and secondary school students in Anshun City offer distinct cost utility advantages, and the advantage enhances as the vaccination coverage rate increases.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair with tunneled esophagogastric fundoplication and diaphragmatic dome suspension-fixation (HHR-TEF-DDSF) in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinical data of 32 patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease who were admitted to Yifu Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from October 2024 to June 2025 were collected. There were 20 males and 12 females, aged (68±7)years. All patients underwent laparoscopic HHR-TEF-DDSF. Observation indicators: (1) surgical and intraoperative conditions; (2) postoperative conditions; (3) follow-up. Measurement data with normal distribution were expre-ssed as Mean± SD, while measurement data with skewed distribution were expressed as M( Q1, Q3) or M(range). Count data were expressed as absolute numbers or percentages. Results:(1) Surgical and intraoperative conditions. All 32 patients successfully underwent laparoscopic HHR-TEF-DDSF. The operation time was (75±10)minutes, and volume of intraoperative blood loss was 50(50,100)mL. Among the 32 patients, there was no conversion to open surgery, no blood transfusion, no intra-operative complications such as unexpected massive hemorrhage or adjacent organ injury, no intra-operative adverse event or death. (2) Postoperative conditions. For the 32 patients, the time to post-operative first flatus was 1(1,2)days, the time to postoperative first defecation was 1(1,3)days, the time to postoperative first intake of liquid food was 1(1,3)days, the duration of postoperative drainage tube indwelling was 3(3,6)days, the postoperative hospital stay was 6(5,14)days, and the time to relief of postoperative dysphagia was 5(5,8)days. No obvious hiccup was observed in any patient in the short term after surgery. (3) Follow-up. All 32 patients were followed up for 7.5(range, 3.0-11.0)months. Among the 32 patients, 26 cases achieved subjective relief of overall postoperative digestive tract symptoms, and 32 cases achieved subjective relief of overall postoperative respiratory tract symptoms. The proton pump inhibitor (PPI) withdrawal rate was 84.4%(27/32), and the treatment satisfaction rate was 87.5%(28/32). The incidences of postoperative complications inclu-ding abdominal distension, dysphagia, diarrhea, and increased flatus were 21.9%(7/32), 18.8%(6/32), 6.3%(2/32), and 3.1%(1/32), respectively. Dysphagia was significantly relieved in all affected patients within 2 months after surgery, and no patient had persistent dysphagia by the end of the follow-up period. There was no death, symptom recurrence, or reoperation.Conclusion:HHR-TEF-DDSF is safe and feasible in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease, with favorable short-term efficacy.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of ultrasonic bone scalpel in nasal osteotomy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from the patients who received ultrasonic bone scalpel-assisted nasal osteotomy in the Nasal Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Department, Plastic Surgery Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College between January 2023 and April 2024. All patients underwent open lateral approach osteotomy using an ultrasonic bone scalpel under direct vision, combined with augmentation rhinoplasty using autologous costal cartilage grafting. Intraoperatively, the nasal dorsum was fully exposed, and the lateral nasal cartilage was separated from the nasal septum, followed by precise bone tissue incision using the ultrasonic bone scalpel. Parameters recorded included operative time, and postoperative complications. Based on the standardized photographs taken before the operation and during the 6-month follow-up after the operation, the observer global aesthetic improvement scale (GAIS) was evaluated by a third-party doctor, with a score ranging from 1 to 5. The smaller the score, the more significant the improvement compared to before the operation. The satisfaction of patients with the surgical outcome was evaluated and classified into four levels: very satisfied, satisfied, dissatisfied, and very dissatisfied.Results:A total of 25 female patients were enrolled, aged 20 to 38 years, with an average age of 27.1 years. All procedures were completed successfully, with a mean operative time of (25.4±4.2) minutes. Postoperative localized swelling of varying degrees was observed. Follow-up ranged from 6 to 18 months, with nasal contour and curvature stabilizing by 6 months postoperatively. No complications, such as infection, nasolacrimal duct, lacrimal sac, medial canthal ligament, nerve injuries, or sensory disturbances, were reported. Two cases exhibited mild nasal bone widening at the 6-month follow-up, though no surgical revision was requested. Significant improvement in external nasal morphology was achieved in all patients, with high satisfaction rates. The patients satisfaction survey showed that 18 cases (72%) were very satisfied and 7 cases (28%) were satisfied with the surgical outcome. GAIS scores reflected positive evaluations [(1.24±0.51) points].Conclusion:The ultrasonic bone scalpel for nasal osteotomy offers the advantages of high-precision cutting and efficient hemostasis. It is highly effective in reshaping the nasal contour, with shorter osteotomy time, reduced intraoperative bleeding, and a lower postoperative complication rate. This study provides some insights into plastic surgeons in optimizing nasal bone modification strategies.

Objective To analyze the current status of outcome measures in randomized controlled trials(RCTs)of acupuncture treatment for vascular dementia(VD)and promote the development of a standardized set of outcome measures.Methods Chinese and English literature databases were searched,including the Chinese Medical Periodical Full-Text Database,the Chinese Biology Medicine disc,China National Knowledge Infrastructure,Wanfang Data,VIP Database,PubMed,Embase,the Cochrane Library,MEDLINE,Web of Science,Chinese Clinical Trials Registry,and the International Traditional Medicine Clinical Trial Registry.Two researchers independently screened RCT literature on acupuncture treatment for VD between January 1,2015 and January 1,2025,risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 tool.Extract basic study information,intervention measures,diagnostic criteria for both Chinese and Western medicine,TCM syndromes,and outcome measures.Summarize the indicator domains of RCT studies on acupuncture treatment for VD,and analyze the basic information and outcome measures of the included studies.Results A preliminary search identified 2,898 articles,of which 93 RCTs were ultimately included.These studies involved 84 outcome measures,covering six indicator domains:symptoms/signs(23.81%),traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndromes(3.57%),medical checkups(60.71%),quality of life(5.95%),safety assessment(4.76%),and prognosis follow-up(1.19%).A total of 91(97.85%)RCTs reported treatment duration,ranging from 2 to 24 weeks;72(77.42%)RCTs used clinical efficacy as the outcome indicator;11 studies(11.83%)reported safety assessments and adverse events.Conclusion Currently,the RCT study design for acupuncture treatment of VD lacks unified standards and has numerous methodological issues.These include insufficient description of sample size estimation processes,strong reliance on subjective rating scales,ambiguous definitions of primary and secondary outcome measures,incomplete integration of Chinese and Western medical indicators,and insufficient reflection of individualized syndrome differentiation and treatment characteristics.In addition,safety assessments and follow-up mechanisms remain relatively weak.Future research should focus on the essential nature of VD,establish a core set of indicators aligned with the clinical characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine,promote the scientific and standardized development of acupuncture research for VD,and provide more compelling evidence-based support for clinical practice.

Objectives:To analyze and summarize the clinical experience of the Y-incision technique in aortic root enlargement surgery.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted based on the data of 53 patients who underwent aortic root enlargement using the Y-shaped incision technique by the same surgical team from January to December 2024.The primary endpoint of the study was the efficacy of the technique,as measured by the enlargement size of the valve annulus.The secondary endpoint focused on the safety of the procedure,specifically the incidence of major complications,including re-sternotomy due to bleeding,third-degree atrioventricular block,and major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE).MACE included cardiovascular death,myocardial infarction,stroke,and re-aortic valve intervention.Echocardiography was performed at 3 months after discharge.Root blood flow compliance was analyzed by computer fluid dynamics.Results:Among the 53 patients,30 were male(56.6%),with a mean age of(59.3±13.3)years(range:13-81 years).Five cases(9.4%)were reoperations.Biological valves were replaced in 36 cases(67.9%),and mechanical valves in 17 cases(32.1%).The intraoperatively measured mean native annulus diameter was(20.5±2.2)mm,the post-root enlargement implanted valve size was(25.4±2.5)mm,with a mean enlargement of(4.9±1.5)mm.The mean cardiopulmonary bypass time was(159.9±46.1)minutes,aortic cross-clamp time was(123.3±35.6)minutes,postoperative intensive care unit stay was(2.6±3.0)days,and invasive mechanical ventilation duration was(18.3±29.7)hours.One case(1.9%)required re-exploration for postoperative bleeding.One case(1.9%)developed transient postoperative elevation of cardiac troponin I,and coronary computed tomography angiography(CTA)confirmed asymptomatic compression of the coronary ostium.Follow-up at 1 month showed normal coronary blood flow.No third-degree atrioventricular block or MACE occurred in the entire cohort.Postoperative computer fluid dynamics analysis showed that the high-speed blood flow at the root disappeared after the operation,the blood flow compliance was improved,and no signs of tilt of the prosthetic valve were found.The mean follow-up was(6.2±2.7)months.The follow-up completion rate was 100%,and no death occurred during the follow-up.Both the aortic prosthetic valve and mitral valve functioned well,there was no dysfunction caused by mitral curtain injury.One case of moderate patient-prosthesis mismatch(PPM)occurred in a reoperation patient,there was no severe PPM post surgery.Compared with the preoperative values,left ventricular ejection fraction,peak transaortic valve flow velocity,and the degree of mitral regurgitation all significantly improved at 3 months after discharge(all P<0.001).Conclusions:The Y incision technique is safe and effective for aortic root enlargement,enabling the implantation of larger-diameter prosthetic valves and providing better hemodynamic outcomes.Further follow-up is required to assess its long-term efficacy.

Objective To analyze and clarify the concept and connotation of care-resistant behavior in dementia patients,so as to provide references for the evaluation and practice of care-resistant behavior in clinical dementia patients.Methods PubMed,Scopus,Web of Science,Cochrane Library,Embase,CINAHL,CNKI,VIP,Wanfang database and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database were systematically searched for the literature on care-resistant behavior in dementia patients.The search time limit was from the establishment of the database to December 2024.Walker and Avant's classical concept analysis method was used to analyze the literature.Results The care-resistant behav-ior in dementia patients included 5 conceptual attributes,including nursing background,perceived threat,unmet needs,lack of understanding and multi-dimensional performance.The antecedent factors include patient factors,care-giver factors,environmental factors and organizational factors.Post-impact includes the impact on patients and the impact on caregivers.Conclusion This study clarified the conceptual attributes,antecedents and post-effects of care-resistant behavior in dementia patients through concept analysis.In the future,researchers should combine the connotation of dementia patients' care-resistant behavior,develop localized assessment tools for dementia patients' care-resistant behavior,and construct targeted intervention programs,so as to improve the quality of nursing staff and enhance the care experience of dementia patients.
