To summarise the clinical experience of Professor TONG Xiaolin in treating prediabetes combined with overweight or obesity using the method of relieving depression and reducing turbidity. It is believed that prediabetes belongs to the category of "spleen-heat syndrome" in traditional Chinese medicine, and its core pathogenesis is center fullness with internal heat, while obesity is the initiating factor for exacerbating center fullness and internal heat, therefore, it is of great significance to reduce the risk of diabetes by interrupting the transformation between overweight, obesity and glucose metabolism abnormality. It is proposed that the main pathogenesis of prediabetes combined with overweight or obesity is qi depression and turbidity obstruction in middle jiao, with qi depression as the root and turbidity obstruction as the cause, forming a treatment idea with the method of relieving depression and reducing turbidity as the core. In clinic, Dahuang Huanglian Xiexin Decoction (大黄黄连泻心汤) is used as the basic prescription, with a primary focus on directing the turbid downward, supplemented by regulating qi, which embodies the concept of "promoting movement through descent, then figuring out the root of spleen-heat syndrome. Furthermore, the treatment is flexibly modified based on the patient's deficiency-excess syndrome to ensure individualized therapy.

AIM:To analyze the association between mobile phone addiction and high myopia among college students.METHODS:We conducted a cross-sectional questionnaire survey in December 2022 on all students of a university in Shaanxi Province, and the questionnaire included socio-demographic characteristics, mobile phone addiction, high myopia, and lifestyle. Binary Logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between mobile phone addiction and high myopia among college students.RESULTS:A total of 19 952 college students were included. The prevalence of high myopia was 7.31%. The rate of mobile phone addiction was 25.68%, and the mobile phone addiction score was 37.59±13.38. The incidence of high myopia among college students with mobile phone addiction was higher than non-mobile phone addiction(P<0.001). After adjusting for socio-demographic characteristics and lifestyle, the risk of high myopia among college students with mobile phone addiction was 1.274 times(95%CI:1.131-1.434)higher than non-mobile phone addiction. For each point increase of total mobile phone addiction score, withdrawal symptoms score, salience score, social comfort score, and mood changes score, the risk of high myopia among college students increased by 0.9%(95%CI:1.005-1.013), 2.0%(95%CI:1.010-1.030), 2.6%(95%CI:1.010-1.043), 4.8%(95%CI:1.030-1.066), and 3.3%(95%CI:1.014-1.052), respectively.CONCLUSION:Mobile phone addiction is significantly associated with the increased risk of high myopia among college students, and early intervention of mobile phone use may reduce the risk of high myopia among college students.

Objective:To implement evidence-based practice for eye management in ICU patients undergoing prone position ventilation and evaluate the effectiveness of applying the best evidence for eye management in this setting.Methods:Through literature retrieval, screening, and evaluation, the best evidence for eye management in ICU patients undergoing prone position ventilation was summarized and compiled into evidence review indicators. From March to June 2024, convenience sampling was used to select 29 ICU prone position ventilation patients and 30 ICU nurses at Shanghai Changzheng Hospital for baseline review to identify obstacles in clinical practice of evidence and develop action strategies based on these obstacles. From July to October 2024, 29 ICU prone position ventilation patients and 29 ICU nurses were selected for evidence-based practice to compare the implementation rates of review indicators before and after evidence-based practice, ICU nurses' knowledge, attitude and practice regarding eye management for prone position ventilation patients, as well as the intraocular pressure during prone position ventilation and the incidence of eye complications within the first week of ICU admission.Results:After evidence-based practice, the implementation rates of all 16 review indicators by ICU nurses were higher than those before evidence-based practice, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The total score, knowledge dimension score, and practice dimension score on the Knowledge, Attitude and Practice Questionnaire on Eye Management during Prone Position Ventilation for ICU nurses were higher than those before evidence-based practice, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). After evidence-based practice, the intraocular pressure of ICU patients in prone position ventilation for 8 hours and at the end improved, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The overall incidence of eye complications within one week of ICU admission decreased from 27.6% to 6.9%, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Implementing evidence-based practices for eye management in ICU patients undergoing prone position ventilation can effectively increase nurses' implementation rates of review indicators, enhance their knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding eye management, and reduce the incidence of eye complications in patients.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors of wet ear status and its impact on the efficacy of endoscopic type Ⅰ tympanoplasty. Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted at the Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Chinese People's Liberation Army(PLA)Air Force Medical University, on 160 ears that underwent endoscopic type Ⅰ tympanoplasty; these were assigned to a dry-ear group (n= 118) and a wet-ear group (n= 42).Univariate analysis and binary logistic regression were used to identify risk factors for wet ear status. Postoperative outcomes, including tympanic meoombrane healing rate and hearing improvement across frequencies, were compared between groups. Results:①Significant intergroup differences were observed in age, residual tympanic membrane status, external auditory canal condition, mastoid pneumatization(MC0), and middle ear ventilation dysfunction(P<0.05); ②The degree of mastoid pneumatization being MC0 is an independent risk factor for wet ear(P<0.05); ③No significant difference in tympanic membrane healing rates was found(P>0.05); ④The wet ear group showed significantly higher pre-and postoperative air-conduction(AC) and bone-conduction(BC) thresholds at 2 kHz and 4 kHz compared to the dry ear group(P<0.05), though the postoperative air-bone gap(ABG) improvement was comparable. Conclusion:Poor mastoid pneumatization is a risk factor for wet ears. The wet ear state has no effect on tympanic membrane healing and air-bone conduction gap, but patients in the wet ear group may have more severe inner ear or auditory nerve pathway damage.

Objective:To explore the clinical effects of tibial periosteal distraction combined with antibiotic bone cement in treating diabetic foot ulcer.Methods:The study was a retrospective observational study. From March 2021 to March 2024, 52 patients with diabetic foot ulcers who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to Gansu Provincial People's Hospital, including 25 males and 27 females, aged 34-77 years. According to the treatment methods used by the patients, they were divided into control group (22 cases) treated with antibiotic bone cement alone and combined group (30 cases) treated with tibial periosteal distraction combined with antibiotic bone cement. Toe amputation rate, limb amputation rate, length of hospitalization, and ulcer healing time-consuming of patients were recorded. Before the first treatment and 3 weeks after the last treatment, the ankle skin temperature and ankle-brachial index of the affected foot were measured routinely, the pain of the affected foot was evaluated by using visual analog scale (VAS), and the peripheral nerve function of the affected foot was evaluated by 10 g nylon thread examination (denoted as 10 g nylon thread test value). Three weeks after the last treatment, the clinical efficacy of patients was evaluated and the overall rate of clinical efficacy was calculated.Results:There were no statistically significant differences in the comparison of toe amputation rate and limb amputation rate of patients in the 2 groups ( P>0.05). The length of hospitalization and ulcer healing time-consuming of patients in combined group were (23±5) and (41±6) d, respectively, which were significantly shorter than (27±5) and (46±6) d in control group (with t values of 3.08 and 3.18, respectively, both P values <0.05). The ankle skin temperature of the affected foot of patients in combined group was (34.1±1.5) ℃, and the ankle-brachial index was 0.72±0.08 three weeks after the last treatment, which were significantly higher than (32.1±1.6) ℃ and 0.58±0.09 before the first treatment within the group (with t values of 5.10 and 6.37, respectively, P<0.05) and (31.8±1.1) ℃ and 0.59±0.09 three weeks after the last treatment in control group (with t values of 6.88 and 5.49, respectively, P<0.05). The pain VAS score of the affected foot of patients in combined group 3 weeks after the last treatment was significantly lower than that before the first treatment within the group and 3 weeks after the last treatment in control group (with t values of 8.16 and 6.83, respectively, both P values <0.05), and the 10 g nylon thread test value was significantly higher than that before the first treatment within the group and 3 weeks after the last treatment in control group (with t values of 6.15 and 4.23, respectively, both P values <0.05). Three weeks after the last treatment, the overall rate of clinical efficacy of patients in combined group was 96.7% (29/30), which was significantly higher than 63.6% (14/22) in control group, χ2=7.51, P<0.05. Conclusions:Tibial periosteal distraction combined with antibiotic bone cement has good clinical effects in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. It can shorten the length of patients' hospitalization, promote the healing of the ulcers, reduce the pain in the affected foot, and improve the blood supply and peripheral nerve function in the affected foot.

Objective:To explore the research hotspots in the application of wearable devices for postoperative patient rehabilitation, and to analyze the current status and future trends of development in this field.Methods:Literature related to the application of wearable devices in postoperative rehabilitation was retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection, using the keywords "wearable devices" and "postoperative", covering the period from July 2014 to July 2024. High-frequency keywords were extracted using the Bibliographic Item Co-occurrence Matrix Builder (BICOMB), and a word-article matrix was constructed. Cluster analysis was conducted using gCLUTO software.Results:A total of 546 English-language articles were retrieved, of which 423 met the inclusion criteria. A total of 38 high-frequency keywords were extracted. The number of publications on wearable devices in postoperative rehabilitation has shown an overall upward trend over the past decade. The United States ranked first in publication volume (164 articles). Cluster analysis identified four major research themes: application of wearable devices for monitoring physical activity and sleep in postoperative patients; remote monitoring of vital signs and evaluation of long-term rehabilitation benefits under technological support; feasibility and safety assessment of wearable devices in knee and hip joint rehabilitation; and monitoring of physiological indicators and rehabilitation evaluation after cardiac surgery.Conclusions:Research on the application of wearable devices in postoperative rehabilitation is in a growth phase. Various types of wearable technologies provide real-time, continuous, and precise physiological and recovery data for medical staff, thereby contributing to enhanced rehabilitation outcomes. In the future, deeper integration between wearable devices and postoperative rehabilitation technologies should be encouraged. Additionally, stronger policy and funding support for wearable technologies will be crucial to advancing their clinical adoption in the field of rehabilitation.
