Energy metabolism reprogramming is one of the pathological mechanisms involved in the occurrence and development of tumors.This article focused on the theory of spleen deficiency in TCM and energy metabolism reprogramming to elaborate the pathological mechanism of tumors.TCM believes that spleen deficiency is an important organ pathogenesis that causes cancer due to deficiency,and spleen deficiency runs through the occurrence and development of tumors.The spleen is the source of qi and blood transformation and dominates the energy metabolism of the whole body.Mitochondria are the regulatory center of energy metabolism in the body,and abnormal mitochondrial energy metabolism is the manifestation of spleen deficiency at the cellular micro level,which is mainly manifested as the limitation of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and the conversion to aerobic glycolysis to provide energy for the rapid growth of tumors.Therefore,based on the theory of spleen deficiency,the treatment based on spleen strengthening is used to prevent and treat tumors by improving energy metabolism,which not only enriches the modern medical connotation of spleen deficiency in TCM,but also provides a new perspective for TCM to treat malignant tumors from the perspective of spleen strengthening.

Acute lateral ankle sprain (ALAS) is one of the most common sport injuries, with high incidence, recurrence and disability rates. Currently, exercise rehabilitation-based non-surgical treatment is the primary management approach for ALAS. However, there remain improper practices such as excessive immobilization or uncontrolled activity, which contribute to recurrent sprains and chronic ankle instability, significantly impairing patients′ athletic function and quality of life. To standardize the non-surgical management of ALAS, improve the cure rates, and reduce the recurrence and disability rates, Chinese Sports Rehabilitation Medicine Training Project of Chinese Medical Association, Foot and Ankle Basics and Orthopedics Group, Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, and Sports Medicine Branch of Jiangsu Medical Association organized relevant experts to formulate Expert consensus on non-surgical treatment for acute lateral ankle sprain ( version 2025), following the principles of scientific vigor, practicality, and innovation. Thirteen recommendations were proposed for standardized treatment protocols across different healing phases, aiming to provide references for standard management of ALAS and improve the therapeutic outcomes.

Objective:To analyze the incidence of adverse treatment outcome of rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (RR-TB) patients and influencing factors in 9 provinces in China.Methods:The information about the basic characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of RR-TB patients registered from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2021 in 9 provinces (Beijing, Jilin, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hubei, Henan, Yunnan and Guizhou) were collected from the tuberculosis information management sub-system of China Disease Control and Prevention Information System for a descriptive analysis, and the influencing factors of adverse treatment outcome were identified by binary logistic regression analysis.Results:In 18 204 RR-TB patients in this study a total of 6 852 had adverse treatment outcomes (37.64%). Treatment failure occurred in 1 031 patients, 1 272 patients died, 2 284 patients were lost to follow-up, and 2 265 patients were not evaluated. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that being man (a OR=1.54, 95% CI: 1.43-1.66), age ≥65 years (a OR=2.42, 95% CI: 2.20-2.67), being from other ethnic groups (a OR=1.18, 95% CI: 1.03-1.35), being farmer (a OR=1.22, 95% CI: 1.13-1.32), being retired with honours or being retired (a OR=1.16, 95% CI: 1.00-1.35) and being floating population (a OR=1.23, 95% CI: 1.13-1.34), re-treatment (a OR=1.33, 95% CI: 1.24-1.42), long-term treatment therapy (a OR=3.26, 95% CI: 2.52-4.23), living in central provinces (a OR=2.76, 95% CI: 2.55-2.99), living in western provinces (a OR=2.31, 95% CI: 2.08-2.57) were the influencing factors for adverse treatment outcome of RR-TB. Conclusions:The incidence of adverse outcomes in RR-TB patients in 9 provinces in China was higher from 2017 to 2021. There were many influencing factors associated with adverse treatment outcome in RR-TB patients, especially the area specific factors. The national tuberculosis control program should strengthen the follow-up and treatment management of RR-TB in men, the elderly, floating population, people in central and western provinces and other key groups, actively promote the short-term treatment program and improve the allocation of medical resources to reduce the influencing for adverse treatment outcomes in RR-TB patient.

Antley-Bixler syndrome (ABS) is a rare developmental malformation, usually caused by mutations in the fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGFR2) or cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (POR) genes. This article reports an 18-year-old male patient with both ulcerative colitis and ABS to explore the possible association between the two diseases, to raise clinicians' awareness, and to provide reference value for early diagnosis and treatment in the future.

Objective:To apply artificial intelligence（AI）in classifying ovarian tumors on ultrasound images，and compare the diagnostic results of several sonographers with varying seniority levels.Methods:A total of 645 patients diagnosed with adnexal masses via gynecological ultrasound examination at Qilu Hospital of Shandong University from January 2021 to December 2024 were enrolled. Three deep learning architectures，i.e.，Alexnet，Densenet121，and Resnet50 were developed and used to internally test the classification effectiveness of ovarian tumors，while the optimal model was selected for external testing. Two junior sonographers and two senior sonographers were recruited to independently diagnose ovarian tumors in the external test dataset. Subsequently，the benign and malignant results of the model's predictions were disclosed to each sonographer，and their revised diagnoses on the same external test data in combination with the best AI model were recorded.Results:The optimal model achieved an accuracy of 0.941，sensitivity of 0.936，and specificity of 0.944 on the internal test dataset，and maintained robust performance on the external test dataset with accuracy of 0.891，sensitivity of 0.880，and specificity of 0.907. Compared to junior sonographers，the optimal model demonstrated significantly higher sensitivity in discriminating benign from malignant ovarian tumors（0.880 vs. 0.723，0.602；all P<0.05）. No statistically significant difference was observed in diagnostic accuracy between the optimal model and senior sonographer 1（ P=0.05）. With assistance from the optimal model，junior sonographers achieved significant improvements in both sensitivity and specificity（sensitivity：0.723 vs. 0.843，0.602 vs. 0.819；specificity：0.778 vs. 0.833，0.685 vs. 0.741；all P<0.05）. Conclusions:The optimal model achieves comparable performance to that of senior sonographers in ovarian tumor classification. With model assistance，the diagnostic performance of junior sonographers is significantly improved.

Objective:To investigate the attention level of oral medicine residents in standardized training (referred to as residency training) to oral aesthetic information and its influencing factors.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study, which included 262 residents undergoing standardized training at Hospital of Stomatology, Wuhan University in January 2020. Among them, there were 73 males and 189 females, with an age range of 23-33 (26±2) years. A questionnaire survey method was used, and the questionnaire included the basic characteristics of the subjects (gender, grade, major, identity, and having training experience in prosthodontic base or not) as well as their attention to oral aesthetic information (facial proportions, facial midline, smile line, facial contour, E-line, nasolabial angle, tooth shape and contour, and tooth proportions). Differences in the attention to oral aesthetic information among residents with different basic characteristics were compared, and a multivariable logistic regression was used to identify the influencing factors.Results:Among the 262 oral medicine residents, 256 (97.7%) believed that it was necessary to pay attention to oral aesthetic information. The differences in attention to facial proportions between residents of different genders and between those with and without training experience in the prosthodontic base were statistically significant (both P<0.05). The results of the multivariate logistic regression showed that male residents were less likely to pay attention to facial proportions compared with female residents ( OR=0.45, 95% CI: 0.23-0.88). Compared with residents specializing in orthodontics, non-orthodontic residents were less likely to pay attention to the E-line ( OR=0.14-0.27, 95% CI: 0.04-0.68) and nasolabial angle ( OR=0.14-0.31, 95% CI: 0.04-0.81). Residents who were graduate students with integrated four certificates were more likely to pay attention to the E-line compared with industry-based personnel ( OR=1.88, 95% CI: 1.01-3.49). Residents without training experience in the prosthodontic base were less likely to pay attention to the facial proportion ( OR=0.44, 95% CI: 0.20-0.97) and tooth shape and contour ( OR=0.33, 95% CI: 0.11-0.98) compared with those with such training experience in prosthodontic base. Conclusions:Oral medicine residents have a high level of attention to oral aesthetic information. Gender, major, identity, and having training experience in the prosthodontic base or not are factors that influence their attention to oral aesthetic information.

Objective:To investigate level and influencing factors of information overload of intensive care unit (ICU) patients′ decision-making agents in order to provide positive clinical interventions for improving their information overload.Methods:During March 2023 to February 2024, 302 ICU patients′ decision-making agents from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University of the People′s Liberation Army of China were cross-sectional surveyed by Basic Information Questionnaire, Information Overloading Scale, Decision Participation Expectancy Scale, Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale, State Trait Anxiety Inventory, Vickers Forest Physician Trust Scale, Decision Preparation Scale, Decision Fatigue Scale and Information Literacy Scale through convenience sampling methods.Results:In the valid 297 questionnaires, there were 172 males and 125 females in ICU patients′ decision-making agents aged 28-69(47.94 ± 8.71) years. The score of information overload was (19.65 ± 7.71), the score of perceived social support was (52.34 ± 7.87), the score of state anxiety was (60.88 ± 6.16), the score of trait anxiety was (60.09 ± 5.49), the score of physician trust was (35.34 ± 4.30), the score of preparation of decision was (27.90 ± 3.01), the score of decision fatigue was (20.61 ± 3.30), and the score of information literacy was (56.18 ± 11.46) in ICU patients′ decision-making agents. Linear regression analysis showed that age, educational level, having a common decision-maker, times of making medical decisions, type of participating in medical decision (cooperative type and proactive type), perceived social support, state anxiety, physician trust, preparation for decision making, decision fatigue and information literacy were all significant influencing factors of information overload of ICU patients′ decision-making agents ( t values were -6.76 to 7.57, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The level of information overload of ICU patients′ decision-making agents was above average. Therefore, while educating them about patients′ illness situation and inviting them to participate in decision-making, ICU medical staff should pay attention on their level of information overload, and then select simply easy communication methods and content to help them quickly understand information and make decisions according to their characteristics and information processing ability.
