To explore the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and integrative TCM-Western medicine approaches in the treatment of diabetic microvascular complications (DMC), refine key pathophysiological insights and treatment principles, and promote academic innovation and strategic research planning in the prevention and treatment of DMC. The 38th session of the Expert Salon on Diseases Responding Specifically to Traditional Chinese Medicine, hosted by the China Association of Chinese Medicine, was held in Beijing, 2024. Experts in TCM, Western medicine, and interdisciplinary fields convened to conduct a systematic discussion on the pathogenesis, diagnostic and treatment challenges, and mechanism research related to DMC, ultimately forming a consensus on key directions. Four major research recommendations were proposed. The first is addressing clinical bottlenecks in the prevention and control of DMC by optimizing TCM-based evidence evaluation systems. The second is refining TCM core pathogenesis across DMC stages and establishing corresponding "disease-pattern-time" framework. The third is innovating mechanism research strategies to facilitate a shift from holistic regulation to targeted intervention in TCM. The fourth is advancing interdisciplinary collaboration to enhance the role of TCM in new drug development, research prioritization, and guideline formulation. TCM and integrative approaches offer distinct advantages in managing DMC. With a focus on the diseases responding specifically to TCM, strengthening evidence-based support and mechanism interpretation and promoting the integration of clinical care and research innovation will provide strong momentum for the modernization of TCM and the advancement of national health strategies.

Immobilized enzyme-based enzyme electrode biosensors, characterized by high sensitivity and efficiency, strong specificity, and compact size, demonstrate broad application prospects in life science research, disease diagnosis and monitoring, etc. Immobilization of enzyme is a critical step in determining the performance (stability, sensitivity, and reproducibility) of the biosensors. Random immobilization (physical adsorption, covalent cross-linking, etc.) can easily bring about problems, such as decreased enzyme activity and relatively unstable immobilization. Whereas, directional immobilization utilizing amino acid residue mutation, affinity peptide fusion, or nucleotide-specific binding to restrict the orientation of the enzymes provides new possibilities to solve the problems caused by random immobilization. In this paper, the principles, advantages and disadvantages and the application progress of enzyme electrode biosensors of different directional immobilization strategies for enzyme molecular sensing elements by specific amino acids (lysine, histidine, cysteine, unnatural amino acid) with functional groups introduced based on site-specific mutation, affinity peptides (gold binding peptides, carbon binding peptides, carbohydrate binding domains) fused through genetic engineering, and specific binding between nucleotides and target enzymes (proteins) were reviewed, and the application fields, advantages and limitations of various immobilized enzyme interface characterization techniques were discussed, hoping to provide theoretical and technical guidance for the creation of high-performance enzyme sensing elements and the manufacture of enzyme electrode sensors.

BackgroundAttention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by age-inappropriate inattention, excessive activities incongruous with setting, and emotional impulsivity. Subthreshold ADHD (sADHD) is clinically defined as the presence of ADHD symptoms that do not meet the full diagnostic criteria for ADHD. Children with sADHD exhibit deficits in executive function, demonstrate more conduct, learning, and anxiety-related problems compared to typically developing children, and show even poorer working memory performance than children diagnosed with ADHD. Currently, there is limited epidemiological research on sADHD in China, with few studies simultaneously investigating the prevalence of both ADHD and sADHD in children. ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of ADHD and sADHD among children aged 6–13 years in Chongqing, analyzing their distribution characteristics within this population, with the aim of providing references for developing preventive measures against both ADHD and sADHD. MethodsFrom October to November 2023, a total of 3 398 students in grades 1–6 from six primary schools in Jiangbei District, Chongqing were selected using a stratified cluster random sampling method. The occurrence of ADHD and sADHD was evaluated by using the short version (18-item version) of the Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham IV rating scales (SNAP-IV) and the Chinese vision of Schedule for Affective Disorder and Schizophrenia for School-aged Children-Present and Lifetime Version (K-SADS-PL). ResultsThe ADHD detection rate among children in Chongqing was 1.90% (95% CI: 0.014–0.024). Boys showed a significantly higher ADHD detection rate than girls (χ2=7.733, P=0.005). No statistically significant differences were found in ADHD detection rates across different grades or age groups (χ2=7.347, 12.362, P>0.05). The sADHD detection rate was 6.32% (95% CI: 0.054–0.072). Similarly, boys exhibited significantly higher sADHD detection rates than girls (χ2=21.005, P<0.01). Significant differences emerged across different grades (χ2=20.559, P=0.001), while no statistically significant difference was observed in age groups (χ2=12.070, P=0.060). ConclusionThe ADHD detection rates were comparable across all grade levels and age groups from 6–13 years old. Second-grade children demonstrated notably higher sADHD rates compared to other grades, while boys demonstrated higher prevalence rates than girls for both ADHD and sADHD.

Objective:To explore a factor analysis method for job training needs based on "P4 medicine", and to provide evidence-based support for optimizing continuing education systems for medical staff in military rest homes and sanatoriums.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted with 95 medical staff from military rest homes and sanatoriums within the support system who participated in job training at Xinqiao Hospital. A structured questionnaire was developed based on the "P4 medicine" framework. After two rounds of Delphi expert consultation, 46 core indicators were selected. A principal component analysis was used to extract common factors, and a model of hierarchical needs was constructed by combining varimax rotation and entropy weight methods.Results:Four common factors were extracted, accounting for 81.564% cumulative variance. The first factor "dynamic updating of geriatric medical knowledge" (31.83%) covered clinical core competencies in managing geriatric comorbidities and recognizing critical values. The second factor "emergency responsiveness and personalized care" (26.05%) focused on military medical regulations, emergency treatment protocols, and tailored interventions. The third factor "multidisciplinary collaboration and leadership development" (12.41%) emphasized team reorganization in combat-ready scenarios. The fourth factor "integration of intelligent technologies" (11.29%) reflected data-driven decision-making needs. Entropy weight analysis highlighted dynamic medical knowledge updates (e.g., emergency skills with a weight of 0.050) and AI applications with a weight of 0.019 among the top 10% high-weight indicators.Conclusions:The "P4 medicine" effectively delineates the multidimensional training needs of grassroots medical personnel. Its four-dimensional structure (predictive, normative, collaborative, and innovative) provides a theoretical framework for curriculum design. We recommend constructing tiered training modules prioritizing technology-enabled mechanisms to enhance the precision and sustainability of geriatric healthcare services.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical feasibility of subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) implantation following transvenous lead extraction (TLE).Methods:This was a retrospective study. Consecutive patients who underwent S-ICD implantation at Peking University People′s Hospital between June 2015 and October 2023 were enrolled. Patients were divided into the TLE group and the newly implanted group based on whether they received TLE prior to S-ICD implantation. Baseline characteristics, S-ICD indication, defibrillation threshold test results, complications, and postoperative follow-up data were collected and compared between the two groups.Results:A total of 27 patients were included, aged (49.2±14.2) years, including 19 males. There were 12 patients in the TLE group and 15 in the newly implanted group. Compared with the TLE group, patients in the newly implanted group were younger ((43.3±13.7) years vs. (55.6±12.0) years, P=0.013). The main S-ICD indication in the TLE group was high infection risk (9/12), whereas in the newly implanted group it was younger age (11/15). All patients underwent successful S-ICD implantation, with 18 patients completing defibrillation threshold testing (all successful). Additionally, the TLE group had longer follow-up duration than the newly implanted group (42 (19, 60) months vs. 12 (3, 28) months, P=0.001). No complications or deaths occurred during follow-up, with normal device function in both groups. A total of 17 ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation events were recorded, of which 7 met defibrillation criteria and all received effective therapy. Conclusion:S-ICD demonstrates safety and efficacy as a therapeutic option for patients after TLE, with comparable device functionality and follow-up outcomes to patients with newly implanted S-ICD.
