This paper explores the differentiation and treatment strategies for pediatric IgA vasculitis based on the correlation between blood trubidity theory and oxidative stress. It is proposed that pediatric IgA vasculitis follows an evolution of pathogenesis characterized by "deficiency of healthy qi leading to turbidity generation, accumulation of turbid toxin, and toxin damage to the collateral vessels", which corresponds to the pathological process of oxidative stress, namely decreased antioxidant capacity with accumulation of reactive oxygen species, metabolite deposition, and endothelial cell injury. A staged treatment strategy is proposed. In the acute stage, wind-toxin invading the colla-terals and reckless movement of heat in the blood are the main manifestations, for which the treatment should focus on dispelling wind and venting pathogens, resolving toxins and unblocking the collaterals, with a modified Yinqiao Powder (银翘散) and Xijiao Dihuang Decoction (犀角地黄汤) to regulate oxidative stress burst. In the prolonged stage, intermingling of turbidity and stasis with collateral obstruction is emphasized; treatment should focus on resolving turbidity and dispelling stasis, harmonizing the blood and stabilizing the collaterals, and a modified Simiao Powder (四妙散) and Taohong Siwu Decoction (桃红四物汤) can be used to improve microcirculatory dysfunction. In the remission stage, when healthy qi remains insufficient and residual pathogens persist, treatment should focus on strengthening the root and clearing the source, reinforcing healthy qi and nourishing the collaterals, for which modified Zhibai Dihuang Pill (知柏地黄丸) and Yupingfeng Powder (玉屏风散) is suggested to rebuild the antioxidant defense system.

Based on the viewpoint of "sweat pore-qi and liquid-kidney collaterals", it is believed that children's nephrotic syndrome is caused by the core mechanism of sweat pore constraint and closure, qi and liquid imbalance, and kidney collaterals impairment, and it is proposed that the treatment principle is to nourish the sweat pore, regulate qi and fluid, and supplement the kidney and unblock the collaterals. In clinic, guided by sequential therapy and according to the different disease mechanism characteristics of the four stages, including early stage of the disease, hormone induction stage, hormone reduction stage, hormone maintenance stage, the staged dynamic identification and treatment was applied. For early stage of the disease with edema due to yang deficiency, modified Zhenwu Decoction (真武汤) was applied to warm yang and drain water; for hormone induction stage with yin deficiency resulting in effulgent fire, modified Zhibai Dihuang Pill (知柏地黄丸) plus Erzhi Pill (二至丸) was used to enrich yin and reduce fire; for hormone reduction stage with qi and yin deficiency, modified Shenqi Dihuang Decoction (参芪地黄汤) was used to boost qi and nourish yin; for hormone maintenance stage, modified Shenqi Pill (肾气丸) was used to supplement yin and yang. Meanwhile, the treatment also attaches importance to the combination of vine-based or worm medicinals to dredge collaterals, so as to providing ideas for clinical treatment.

This paper summarizes Professor SHI Zaixiang's clinical experience in treating high fever caused by sepsis using Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiang Decoction (柴胡桂枝干姜汤). He holds that the key pathogenesis of sepsis involves constrained heat in the shaoyang and internal accumulation of water and fluids. The clinical manifestations such as high fever, chills, and alternating sensations of cold and heat are attributed to pathogenic heat constrained in the shaoyang. Meanwhile, soft tissue edema and serous cavity effusions are due to shaoyang dysfunction and internal water retention. In clinical practice, treating sepsis-related high fever requires addressing both the shaoyang-constrained heat and the associated edema and effusions. The therapeutic approach focuses on harmonizing the shaoyang and resolving internal fluids, using Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiang Decoction as the base formula with flexible modifications. Professor SHI emphasizes that this formula shows a rapid antipyretic effect, particularly in cases where multiple anti-infective treatments have failed.

Objective:To systematically synthesize the real experiences of women who have undergone emergency cesarean sections, providing evidence-based insights to inform the development of personalized care strategies.Methods:A comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, ProQuest, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP, and China Biology Medicine disc for qualitative and mixed-methods studies related to the psychological experiences of women who underwent emergency cesarean sections. The search covered all publications up to January 31, 2025. The methodological quality of included studies was appraised using the Joanna Briggs Institute Center for Evidence-Based Health Care Quality Assessment Criteria for Qualitative Research. The results were integrated using an aggregative synthesis approach.Results:A total of 16 studies were included, from which 78 findings were extracted and grouped into nine new categories. These were further synthesized into three overarching themes: shift in birth plan and emergence of dynamic emotional responses; desire for diversified external support and encouragement; emotional investment and character growth.Conclusions:Women undergoing emergency cesarean sections commonly experience intense negative emotions. It is essential for healthcare providers and family members to pay close attention to the physical and psychological well-being of postpartum women, offer timely emotional support, and help them recover from psychological trauma, thereby promoting maternal mental and physical health.

Paclitaxel (PTX), a valuable natural product derived from Taxus species, exhibits remarkable anti-cancer properties. It penetrates nanopores in microtubule walls, interacting with tubulin on the lumen surface and disrupting microtubule dynamics, thereby inducing cytotoxic effects in cancer cells. PTX and its derivatives have gained approval for treating various diseases due to their low toxicity, high efficiency, and broad-spectrum application. The widespread success and expanding applications of PTX have led to increased demand, raising concerns about accessibility. Consequently, researchers globally have focused on developing alternative production methods and applying nanocarriers in PTX delivery systems to enhance bioavailability. This review examines the challenges and advancements in PTX sourcing, production, physicochemical properties, anti-cancer mechanisms, clinical applications, trials, and chemo-immunotherapy. It aims to provide a comprehensive reference for the rational development and effective utilization of PTX.

Objective:To summarize the clinical features and genetic effects of cases of fetal chromosomal structural abnormalities caused by maternal complex chromosomal rearrangements (CCR).Methods:Three female CCR carriers referred to the Prenatal Diagnostic Center at Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center, Guangzhou Medical University between October 2023 and June 2024 were retrospectively enrolled. Genetic analyses included chromosomal karyotyping, chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA), and low-coverage whole-genome copy number variation (CNV) sequencing. Clinical features of the three cases with fetal chromosomal structural abnormalities caused by maternal CCR were systematically reviewed using descriptive statistics.Results:(1) Case 1: CNV sequencing identified an 11.95 Mb duplication at 1q43q44 region of chromosome (CNV of uncertain significance) and a 36.09 Mb deletion at 5p15.33p13.2 region of chromosome (pathogenic CNV) in the fetus (maternally inherited). Maternal karyotype was 46,XX,t(1;8;3;5)(q43;q22.1;q26.2;p13.2). The pregnancy was terminated after genetic counseling. (2) Case 2: Maternal karyotype 46,XX,t(3;20)(p25;q13.1),t(6;12)(q25.2;q21.2),ins(11;14)(q23;q24q13) was transmitted to the fetus [46,XX,ins(11;14)(q23;q24q13)mat]. CMA of the fetus showed no abnormalities and the pregnancy was continued after genetic counseling. (3) Case 3: CMA of the products of conception revealed a 71.59 Mb duplication at 2p24.3p11.2 (pathogenic CNV). Maternal karyotype was 46,XX,der(2)t(2;3)(q21;q23)ins(11;2)(p13;p24p11.2),der(3)t(2;3),der(11)ins(11;2). The abnormal chromosome 2 segment in products of conception was maternally inherited.Conclusions:All three cases of fetal/abortus chromosomal abnormalities originated from maternal CCR. Early combined cytogenetic and molecular prenatal diagnosis is critical for CCR carriers during pregnancy.

To explore the application effectiveness of generative artificial intelligence(GAI) in the standardized training assessment of critical care medicine residents. The study subjects included residents undergoing standardized training in the critical care medicine departments of Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Beijing Friendship Hospital from June to September 2024, as well as teaching physicians qualified for standardized training instruction. Two sets of GAI-generated examination papers (using Tongyi Qianwen 2.5) and one set of human-generated examination papers were administered to all residents. The answers were graded separately by teaching physicians and Tongyi Qianwen 2.5. The grading results from human and GAI evaluations were compared, and feedback from both residents and teaching physicians on the GAI-generated and human-generated papers was collected. A total of 35 residents and 11 teaching physicians were included in the study. The scores of residents on single-choice questions from the two GAI-generated papers were significantly higher than those from the human-generated paper(both GAI performs comparably to human-generated papers in terms of examination paper creation and grading, but further optimization is needed regarding question difficulty. GAI holds promise as a valuable tool for enhancing the efficiency of resident teaching assessments.
