Medical institutions, with their clinical practice foundation and abundant human use experience data, have become important carriers for the inheritance and innovation of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) and the "cradles" of the preparation of new TCM. To effectively promote the transformation of new TCM originating from the TCM clinical practice in medical institutions and establish an effective evaluation index system for the transformation of new TCM conforming to the characteristics of TCM, consensus experts adopted the literature research, questionnaire survey, Delphi method, etc. By focusing on the policy and technical evaluation of new TCM originating from the TCM clinical practice in medical institutions, a comprehensive evaluation from the dimensions of drug safety, efficacy, feasibility, and characteristic advantages was conducted, thus forming a comprehensive evaluation system with four primary indicators and 37 secondary indicators. The expert consensus reached aims to encourage medical institutions at all levels to continuously improve the high-quality research and development and transformation of new TCM originating from the TCM clinical practice in medical institutions and targeted at clinical needs, so as to provide a decision-making basis for the preparation, selection, cultivation, and transformation of new TCM for medical institutions, improve the development efficiency of new TCM, and precisely respond to the public medication needs.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the effectiveness of bone acupuncture in improving pain and function in degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (DLSS) and compare it with Jiaji acupuncture. METHODS: From January to December 2023, 80 DLSS patients were treated with acupuncture and divided into bone acupuncture and Jiaji acupuncture groups. Among them, 40 patients in the bone acupuncture group included 15 males and 25 females, with a mean age of (60.60±6.98) years old;anthor 40 patients in the Jiaji acupuncture group included 16 males and 24 females, with a mean age of (61.48±9.55) years old. The Roland Morris disability questionnaire(RMDQ), walking distance, visual analogue scale(VAS), and the MOS item short from health survey(SF-36) of two groups at baseline, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 12 weeks post-treatment were compared. RESULTS: Eighty patients were followed up for 3 to 5 months with an average of (3.62±0.59) months. There was no significant differences in general data and the scores before treatment between two groups(P>0.05). The RMDQ scores in both groups decreased significantly at 2, 4 and 12 weeks after treatment compared with before treatment(P<0.05), at each time point after treatment, the decrease was more significant in the bone acupuncture group than in the Jiaji acupuncture group(P<0.05). The VAS of waist and leg in both groups was significantly lower at 2, 4 and 12 weeks after treatment that before treatment(P<0.05). At all time points after treatment, the waist VAS in the bone acupuncture group was reduced more significant than in the Jiaji acupuncture group(P<0.05);there was no significant difference in leg VAS at 2 and 12 weeks after treatment between two groups(P>0.05), the improvement was more significant in the bone acupuncture group in the 4 weeks after treatment than in the Jiaji acupuncture group. The SF-36 scores in both groups were significantly higher at 2, 4, and 12 weeks after treatment than before treatment(P<0.05);the SF-36 score raised more significant in the bone acupuncture group than in the Jiaji acupunture group(P<0.05). No significant difference in the walking distance between two groups at 2 weeks after treatment(P>0.05);the walking distance in the bone acupuncture group was significantly higher than that in the Jiaji acupuncture group at 4 and 12 weeks after treatment(P<0.05). CONCLUSION Bone-penetrating acupuncture moderately improves functional impairment, pain, and quality of life in patients with DLSS, showing better efficacy than Jiaji acupuncture.

Paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury is a serious neurological complication, for which surgery is currently the main treatment method. Due to different surgical approaches, patients are usually expected to maintain a passive prone position for a long time or switch between the supine and prone positions. Affected by multiple factors such as neurogenic sensory disorders, pathological changes in muscle tone and operative duration, the risk of intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) is significantly increased. Current clinical prevention strategies for IAPI in these patients predominantly focus on localized pressure relief during positioning, lacking systematic, standardized comprehensive prevention protocols or evidence-based guidelines. To address it, Department of Nursing, Orthopedics Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, Spinal Trauma Professional Committee, Orthopedics Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine organized experts in relevant fields to formulate Guideline for the prevention of intraoperative acquired pressure injury in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medical evidence and latest research results and clinical practice at home and abroad. Eleven recommendations were put forward from the aspects of preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative prevention strategies, postoperative handover and monitoring, and supportive mechanisms for IAPI prevention, aiming to standardize the prevention measures and management strategies of IAPI in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of patients and improve the therapeutic effect.

Acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fracture (ASOTLF) can lead to chronic low back pain, kyphosis deformity, pulmonary dysfunction, loss of mobility, and even life-threatening complications. Vertebral augmentation is currently the mainstream treatment method for this condition. In 2019, the Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma and the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association collaboratively led the development of Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation for acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures. Six years later, with advances in clinical diagnosis and treatment techniques as well as accumulating evidence in related fields, the 2019 guideline requires updating. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, the Spinal Health Professional Committee of China Human Health Science and Technology Promotion Association, and the Minimally Invasive Orthopedics Professional Committee of Shaanxi Medical Doctor Association have organized experts in the field to develop the Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation of acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures ( version 2025) , based on the latest evidence-based medical researches. This guideline incorporates 3 recommendations retained from the 2019 version with updated strength of evidence, along with 12 new recommendations. It provides recommendations from six aspects of diagnosis, pain management, treatment option selection, prevention of postoperative complications, anti-osteoporosis therapy, and postoperative rehabilitation, aiming to provide a reference for standard treatment of vertebral augmentation for ASOTLF in hospitals at all levels.

Objective:To assess the safety and efficacy of thiotepa, busulfan, and etoposide (TBE) conditioning followed by autologous hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (TBE auto-HSCT) in primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) patients.Methods:Clinical data from 27 PCNSL patients who received TBE auto-HSCT at the Fifth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital between November 1, 2021, and April 30, 2024, were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Twenty-seven patients [16 males, 11 females; median age 57 (23–72) years] were included, with 12 (44.4%, 12/27) over 60. Twenty-five had newly diagnosed PCNSL and 2 were relapsed. Median time from diagnosis to transplantation was 6.9 (5.0–10.0) months. TBE auto-HSCT increased complete remission (CR) rate from 63.0 to 96.3% ( P= 0.005), and 9 of 10 patients in partial remission achieving CR post-transplant. Median follow-up was 24.5 months (range 2.0–36.0). Two-year progress-free and OS rates were (87.2±6.9) % and (88.6±6.2) %, respectively. Common grade 3 nonhematologic adverse events were diarrhea (18.5%, 5/27) and bacterial infections (14.8%, 4/27). One patient (64 years old) died from carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae infection within 2 months post-transplant, yielding a 100-day treatment-related mortality of 3.7% (1/27) . Conclusion:TBE-conditioned high-dose chemotherapy with auto-HSCT is effective, safe, and well-tolerated in PCNSL patients, including the elderly.

Objective:To investigate the incidence of common complications following vaginal delivery and analyze their influencing factors among women of reproductive age.Methods:This prospective cohort study consecutively enrolled women who delivered vaginally at two campuses of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University between February and July 2023. Participants were categorized into groups according to complication occurrence: those with obstetric laceration versus those without, postpartum hemorrhage versus non-hemorrhage, and retained placenta/membranes without hemorrhage vs. non-retention. Data were collected using a self-developed questionnaire on risk factors for vaginal delivery complications. Group comparisons of demographics, obstetric history, intrapartum assessments, and delivery outcomes were performed using Chi-square test (or Fisher's exact test), independent samples t-test, and Mann-Whitney U test. Multivariate logistic regression identified risk factors for the three complication types. Results:Among 1 966 vaginal deliveries, the overall complication rate was 8.1% (159/1 966), with obstetric lacerations representing the most frequent complication at 4.6% (91/1 966), followed by postpartum hemorrhage at 2.7% (53/1 966) and retained placenta/membranes without hemorrhage at 1.4% (27/1 966). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified distinct sets of independent risk factors for each complication. For obstetric lacerations, adequate gestational weight gain was associated with a reduced risk ( OR=0.547, 95% CI: 0.332-0.900, P=0.018), while precipitous labor ( OR=2.633, 95% CI: 1.321-5.248, P=0.006), shoulder dystocia ( OR=2.495, 95% CI: 1.093-5.691, P=0.030), poor maternal cooperation ( OR=1.887, 95% CI: 1.061-3.359, P=0.031), and specific perineal conditions—particularly reduced skin folds ( OR=2.341, 95% CI: 1.247-4.395, P=0.008) and tight/thick/edematous skin ( OR=2.511, 95% CI: 1.248-5.054, P=0.010)—emerged as significant risk factors. Regarding postpartum hemorrhage, conception through assisted reproductive technology ( OR=3.286, 95% CI: 1.189-9.076, P=0.022), presence of obstetric comorbidities ( OR=2.460, 95% CI: 1.070-5.656, P=0.034), elevated D-dimer levels ( OR=1.157, 95% CI: 1.049-1.277, P=0.004), reduced fibrinogen ( OR=0.521, 95% CI: 0.319-0.851, P=0.009), weak uterine contractions ( OR=20.175, 95% CI: 10.352-39.321, P<0.001), abnormal placentation ( OR=2.434, 95% CI: 1.167-5.078, P=0.018), and absence of early skin-to-skin contact ( OR=0.141, 95% CI: 0.067-0.295, P<0.001) were independently associated with increased risk. For retained placenta/membranes without hemorrhage, prolonged thrombin time ( OR=0.117, 95% CI: 0.034-0.318, P<0.001) and abnormal placentation ( OR=51.843, 95% CI: 14.988-179.324, P<0.001) were identified as primary risk factors. Conclusions:While the overall incidence of complications following vaginal delivery among women of reproductive age is relatively low, high-risk groups warrant particular attention. Precipitous labor, shoulder dystocia, poor maternal cooperation, and unfavorable perineal conditions increase laceration risk. Assisted conception, obstetric comorbidities, elevated D-dimer levels, uterine atony, and placental abnormalities elevate hemorrhage risk. Furthermore, placental abnormalities are strongly associated with retained placenta/membranes without hemorrhage.

Objective To investigate the effect of miR-185-5p-mediated targeted negative regulation of transmembrane 9 superfamily member 1(TM9SF1)on proliferation,migration and autophagy in lung adenocarcinoma cells.Methods The expression of miR-185-5p in lung adenocarcinoma tissues was analyzed using dataset GSE51853 downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)database.Potential target proteins of miR-185-5p were predicted using online databases(miRTargetLink,miRTarbase,and DIANA-microT-CD),and autophagy-related proteins were obtained from HADb.The intersected results from these four databases was identified,and survival curves of vascular endothelial growth factor A(VEGFA)and TM9SF1 within the overlapping candidates were analyzed using the StarBase database.TM9SF1 3'UTR wild-type(WT)or TM9SF1 3'UTR mutant(MUT)reporter plasmids were separately co-transfected with miR-185-5p control plasmid(CON)or miR-185-5p overexpression plasmid(over-miR-185-5p)into HEK-293T cells.A dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was employed to assess the binding interaction between miR-185-5p and TM9SF1 and quantify the subsequent luciferase activity.Western blotting was used to assess TM9SF1 protein expression levels in A549 cells transfected with over-miR-185-5p.A549 cells were divided into three groups:(1)CON+NC group,co-transfected with miR-185-5p control plasmid and TM9SF1 control plasmid;(2)over-miR-185-5p+NC group,co-transfected with over-miR-185-5p and TM9SF1 control plasmid;(3)over-miR-185-5p+over-TM9SF1 group,co-transfected with both miR-185-5p and TM9SF1 overexpression plasmids.EdU cell proliferation assay,wound healing assay,and Transwell migration assay were performed to validate the effects of miR-185-5p targeted binding to TM9SF1 on proliferation and migration capacities in lung adenocarcinoma.Changes in autophagic flux and mitochondrial membrane potential(MMP)of lung adenocarcinoma cells were detected using stubRFP-sensGFP-LC3 lentivirus and JC-1 assays,respectively.Results In the GSE51853 dataset,miR-185-5p expression level was significantly lower in lung adenocarcinoma tissues compared with normal lung tissues(P<0.01).qRT-PCR analysis revealed that miR-185-5p expression was downregulated in lung adenocarcinoma cell lines NCI-H1299 and A549 compared with normal lung epithelial cells BEAS-2B(P<0.01).Bioinformatics predictions using miRTargetLink,miRTarbase,DIANA-microT-CD,and HADb databases indicated that miR-185-5p could target and regulate the autophagy-related protein TM9SF1.Dual-luciferase reporter assays and Western blotting demonstrated that miR-185-5p directly bound to the 3'UTR region of TM9SF1 mRNA,and overexpression of miR-185-5p significantly reduced the expression of target protein TM9SF1(P<0.05).EdU cell proliferation,wound healing,and Transwell migration assays demonstrated that miR-185-5p overexpression inhibited proliferation and migration capacities of lung adenocarcinoma cells,whereas TM9SF1 overexpression could attenuate this inhibition effect(P<0.05).Results of stubRFP-sensGFP-LC3 for autophagic flux analysis demonstrated that overexpression of miR-185-5p enhanced autophagic flux in A549 cells,whereas co-overexpression of miR-185-5p and TM9SF1 suppressed autophagic flux.JC-1 assays showed a decreased MMP level in A549 cells after miR-185-5p overexpression,with higher MMP level observed when miR-185-5p and TM9SF1 were co-overexpressed.Conclusion miR-185-5p may suppress proliferation,migration,and autophagy capacities in lung adenocarcinoma cells by targeting TM9SF1 through negative regulation.

OBJECTIVE: To identify prognostic genes associated with lysosome-dependent cell death (LDCD) in patients with gastric cancer (GC). METHODS: Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using The Cancer Genome Atlas - Stomach Adenocarcinoma. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis was performed to identify the key module genes associated with LDCD score. Candidate genes were identified by DEGs and key module genes. Univariate Cox regression analysis, and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed for the selection of prognostic genes, and risk module was established. Subsequently, key cells were identified in the single-cell dataset (GSE183904), and prognostic gene expression was analyzed. Cell proliferation and migration were assessed using the Cell Counting Kit-8 assay and the wound healing assay. RESULTS: A total of 4,465 DEGs, 95 candidate genes, and 4 prognostic genes, including C19orf59, BATF2, TNFAIP2, and TNFSF18, were identified in the analysis. Receiver operating characteristic curves indicated the excellent predictive power of the risk model. Three key cell types (B cells, chief cells, and endothelial/pericyte cells) were identified in the GSE183904 dataset. C19orf59 and TNFAIP2 exhibited predominant expression in macrophage species, whereas TNFAIP2 evolved over time in endothelial/pericyte cells and chief cells. Functional experiments confirmed that interfering with C19orf59 inhibited proliferation and migration in GC cells. CONCLUSION C19orf59, BATF2, TNFAIP2, and TNFSF18 are prognostic genes associated with LDCD in GC. Furthermore, the risk model established in this study showed robust predictive power.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between ABO blood types and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) risk. METHODS: A prospective birth cohort study was conducted. ABO blood types were determined using the slide method. GDM diagnosis was based on a 75-g, 2-h oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) according to the criteria of the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups. Logistic regression was applied to calculate the odds ratios ( ORs) and 95% confidence intervals ( CIs) between ABO blood types and GDM risk. RESULTS: A total of 30,740 pregnant women with a mean age of 31.81 years were enrolled in this study. The ABO blood types distribution was: type O (30.99%), type A (26.58%), type B (32.20%), and type AB (10.23%). GDM was identified in 14.44% of participants. Using blood type O as a reference, GDM risk was not significantly higher for types A ( OR = 1.05) or B ( OR = 1.04). However, women with type AB had a 19% increased risk of GDM ( OR = 1.19, 95% CI = 1.05-1.34; P < 0.05), even after adjusting for various factors. This increased risk for type AB was consistent across subgroup and sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSION The ABO blood types may influence GDM risk, with type AB associated with a higher risk. Incorporating it-either as a single risk factor or in combination with other known factors-could help identify individuals at risk for GDM before or during early pregnancy.
