Objective:To investigate the differences in clinical characteristics and antibiotic resistance of neonatal sepsis（NS）caused by different Gram-staining pathogens.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on confirmed NS cases admitted to the Neonatal Ward of the Pediatric Department at The First Affiliated Hospital of Dali University，from June 1，2014，to May 31，2024.Patients were divided into Gram-positive and Gram-negative groups based on blood or cerebrospinal fluid（CSF）culture results.Clinical characteristics，pathogen distribution，and antibiotic resistance were compared between the two groups.Results:A total of 98 cases were included，with 81 in the Gram-positive group and 17 in the Gram-negative group.Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that NS cases with a high neutrophil percentage（ OR=0.933，95% CI：0.899-0.969）or hemorrhagic symptoms/signs（ OR=0.059，95% CI：0.008-0.458）were less likely to have Gram-positive pathogens detected in blood or CSF cultures（ P<0.05）.Common Gram-positive pathogens included Staphylococcus epidermidis with 35 strains（33.65%）and Staphylococcus hominis with 22 strains（21.15%）.The predominant Gram-negative pathogen was Escherichia coli with 14 strains（13.46%）.Gram-positive pathogens exhibited high resistance to oxacillin（91.30%），erythromycin（90.91%），and penicillin G（90.00%），but low resistance to tigecycline（0），linezolid（0），and vancomycin（0）.Gram-negative pathogens showed high resistance to ampicillin（92.31%），cefazolin（90.00%），and ampicillin/sulbactam（75.00%），but low resistance to amikacin（6.25%），latamoxef（0），and ertapenem（0）.The incidence of concurrent purulent meningitis was lower in the Gram-positive group than in the Gram-negative group（9.88% vs.47.06%， χ2=11.628， P<0.05），and there was significant difference. Conclusion:NS cases with high neutrophil percentages or hemorrhagic symptoms/signs are less likely to be caused by Gram-positive pathogens.Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus hominis are common Gram-positive pathogens，while Escherichia coli is the predominant Gram-negative pathogen in NS.Both Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens exhibit resistance to specific antibiotics.NS caused by Gram-positive pathogens is less likely to be complicated by purulent meningitis compared to those caused by Gram-negative pathogens.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the levels of serum circular RNA protein tyrosine phosphatase 4A2(circ_PTP4A2),circular RNA precocious dissociation of sisters 5 homolog B(circ_PDS5B)and the volume of cerebral infarction and the degree of neurological deficits in patients with acute is-chemic stroke(AIS).Methods Ninety patients with AIS who visited the hospital from January 2021 to De-cember 2023 were selected as the AIS group,and 90 healthy individuals who underwent physical examinations during the same period were selected as the control group.The levels of serum circ_PTP4A2 and circ_PDS5B were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR,the volume of cerebral infarction was measured by magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging,and the degree of neurological deficit was evaluated by the Na-tional Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)score.According to the volume of cerebral infarction,they were divided into large-volume group(volume of cerebral infarction≥ 20 cm3,29 cases),medium-volume group(1 cm3＜volume of cerebral infarction＜20 cm3,34 cases),and small-volume group(volume of cerebral infarction≤ 1 cm3,27 cases),and according to the NIHSS scores,patients with AIS were classified into the se-vere group(NIHSS scores≥21 points,27 cases),the moderate group(NIHSS scores 5-20 points,32 cases)and the mild group(NIHSS score≤ 4 points,31 cases).Factors contributing to the increased volume of cere-bral infarction and the increased degree of neurological deficit in patients with AIS were analyzed by ordered multi-categorical Logistic regression.Results Compared with the control group,serum circ_PTP4A2 and circ_PDS5B levels were elevated in the AIS group(P＜0.05).Serum circ_PTP4A2 and circ_PDS5B levels were sequentially increased in the small-volume group,medium-volume group,and large-volume group(P＜0.05).Serum circ_PTP4A2 and circ_PDS5B levels were sequentially increased in the mild group,moderate group,and severe group(P＜0.05).Ordered multi-categorical Logistic regression showed that high NIHSS score,high circ_PTP4A2,and high circ_PDS5B were independent risk factors for increased cerebral infarction volume in AIS patients(P＜0.05),and high cerebral infarction volume,high circ_PTP4A2,and high circ_PDS5B were independent risk factors(P＜0.05).Conclusion The elevated levels of serum circ_PTP4A2 and circ_PDS5B in AIS patients are related to the increase in cerebral infarction volume and the aggravation of neurological deficits.Early detection of serum circ_PTP4A2 and circ_PDS5B levels is helpful for risk stratification in AIS patients.

Objective:To explore the clinical features, genetic traits and prognosis status of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients with TP53 mutation.Methods:A retrospective case series study was performed. Clinical data of 42 AML patients with TP53 mutation abundance of at least 10% who were admitted to the First Hospital of Jilin University from April 2018 to August 2023 were collected. Chromosomal karyotypes were detected using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and next-generation sequencing (NGS) was performed on bone marrow samples from these patients. The Kaplan-Meier method was utilized to analyze the recurrence-free survival (RFS) of 22 patients who achieved complete remission (CR) after induction therapy, as well as the overall survival (OS) of 39 patients who underwent treatment. The Cox proportional hazards model was employed to analyze the factors influencing RFS and OS. Thirty-one patients who underwent induction therapy for ≥ 2 courses were divided into the non-refractory group (22 cases) and the refractory group (9 cases) based on whether CR was achieved after induction therapy, and the clinical and genetic characteristics and prognosis of the two groups were compared.Results:Among the 42 AML patients with TP53 mutation, there were 26 males and 16 females, with a median age [ M( Q1, Q3)] of 57.0 (44.0, 63.5) years. At the initial stage, the median white blood cell count in peripheral blood was 4.06×10 9/L (2.59×10 9/L, 27.36×10 9/L), the median proportion of bone marrow primitive cells was 45.25% (29.00%, 80.63%), the proportion of primitive and immature cells in bone marrow cell immune analysis was 28.70% (12.71%, 61.48%), and the median TP53 mutation abundance was 55.48% (38.72%, 73.31%). Among the 42 patients, 23 cases (54.76%) had complex chromosomal karyotypes, with the most frequent abnormal chromosomes being chromosome 5 (47.62%, 20 cases), chromosome 7 (45.24%, 19 cases) and chromosome 17 (26.19%, 10 cases). The mutant genes with high mutation frequency were DNMT3A (19.05%, 8 cases), N/KRAS (19.05%, 8 cases), ASXL1 (16.67%, 7 cases) and NPM1 (16.67%, 7 cases). Among the 39 patients with detailed TP53 mutation data, 36 had missense mutations and 3 had frameshift mutations. In the non-refractory and refractory groups, the N/KRAS mutation rates were 13.6% (3/22) and 55.6% (5/9), respectively ( P = 0.027). The median RFS time of 22 CR patients after induction therapy was 109 d (95% CI: 57-483 d). The results of multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that complex chromosomal karyotype was an independent risk factor for RFS ( HR = 11.819, 95% CI: 1.345-103.880, P = 0.028). The median RFS time of patients without and with complex chromosomal karyotypes was 842 d (95% CI: 0-1 716 d) and 148 d (95% CI: 88-208 d), respectively, and the difference in RFS between the two groups was statistically significant ( P = 0.001). The median OS time of 39 patients receiving treatment was 151 d (95% CI: 75-227 d). The results of multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that NPM1 gene mutation was an independent protective factor for OS ( HR = 0.289, 95% CI: 0.075-1.114, P = 0.071). The median OS time of patients with and without NPM1 gene mutation was 1 562 d (95% CI: 610- 1 710 d) and 136 d (95% CI: 99-173 d), respectively, and the difference in OS between the two groups was statistically significant ( P = 0.020). Conclusions:TP53-mutant AML patients often have poor chromosomal karyotypes and genetic abnormalities, while refractory AML patients often have N/KRAS mutation. The complex chromosomal karyotype is a risk factor for RFS, while NPM1 gene mutation is a protective factor for OS.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is the only curative option for patients with intermediate-high risk and relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Relapse remains the primary factor affecting the prognosis of patients after transplantation, with only a small number of patients achieving long-term survival after conventional salvage therapy. Molecular targeted drugs, as a new intervention measure, can significantly reduce the recurrence rate of AML after transplantation, without a significant increase in treatment-related adverse reactions. This article primarily focuses on the targeted drugs that are either in clinical use or in clinical trials, and reviews their role in maintenance therapy for AML after transplantation.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of robot system-assisted versus freehand screw revision for ankylosing spondylitis (AS) with lower cervical fractures.Methods:A multicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 57 patients with AS combined with lower cervical fractures admitted to Honghui Hospital Affiliated to Xi'an Jiaotong University School of Medicine, Henan Provincial People's Hospital, Zhengzhou Orthopedic Hospital, and Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, including 46 males and 11 females, aged 38-77 years [(65.4±9.5)years]. Injury segments involved C 3 in 7 patients, C 4 in 13, C 5 in 25, C 6 in 10, and C 7 in 2. All the patients underwent revision surgery, among whom, 22 patients were treated with robot system-assisted cervical pedicle screw placement (robot nailing group, with 190 screws), and 35 with freehand cervical pedicle screw placement (freehand nailing group, with 300 screws). The operative duration, intraoperative bleeding volume, frequency of intraoperative fluoroscopy, incision length, and length of hospital stay of the two groups were compared; the time of single nscrew insertion, the number of single nail revisions, the distance between screws and the anterior cortex, the accuracy of screw placement of grade 0 and grade 0+1 were recorded in the two groups. The visual analogue scale (VAS), Japanese Orthopedic Society (JOA) score, neck dysfunction index (NDI), American Spine Injury Association (ASIA) classification before operation, at 3 days, 3 months after operation and at the last follow-up were compared between the two groups. The complication rate was also noted. Results:All the patients were followed up for 12-16 months [(14.3±2.1)months]. The operative duration, intraoperative bleeding volume, and frequency of intraoperative fluoroscopy were (186.4±12.9)minutes, (486.1±68.6)ml, and (3.4±1.3)times in the robot nailing group, which were shorter or less than (206.7±14.4)minutes, (660.3±45.2)ml, and (13.5±3.6)times in the freehand nailing group ( P<0.01). The incision length was (9.4±2.4)cm in the robot nailing group, longer than (5.6±1.2)cm in the freehand nailing group ( P<0.01), and the length of hospital stay was (3.7±0.4)days, shorter than (4.4±1.4)days in the freehand nailing group ( P<0.01). The length of single nail insertion, the number of single nail revision, and the distance between the screws and the front cortex were (6.5±0.4)minutes, (1.1±0.1)times, and (3.5±1.3)mm in the robot nailing group, which were shorter or less than (11.6±0.2)minutes, (1.5±0.2)times, and (12.4±4.7)mm in the freehand nailing group ( P<0.01). The accuracy of the screw placement in the robot nailing group was 90.0% (171/190) and 95.8% (182/190) with level 0 and 0+1 screws, better than 80.0% (240/300) and 89.0% (267/300) in the freehand nailing group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in VAS, JOA score, NDI, or ASIA grading between the two groups before operation ( P>0.05). The VAS, JOA, and NDI scores at 3 days after operation were (3.1±0.6)points, (12.1±1.2)points, and (15.6±2.9)points, respectively in the robot nailing group, which were better than (5.0±1.4)points, (11.3±1.1)points and (22.5±3.7)points, respectively in the freehand nailing group ( P<0.05). No statistically significant difference was observed in the ASIA grade between the two groups at 3 days after operation ( P>0.05). There were no significant differences in VAS, JOA, NDI scores, or ASIA grading between the two groups at 3 months after operation and at the last follow-up ( P>0.05). Compared with those before operation, the VAS, JOA, NDI scores, and ASIA grading were significantly improved at 3 days, 3 months after operation and at the last follow-up in the two groups, which were further improved with the passage of time. Two patients in the robot nailing group had pneumonia, with a complication rate of 9% (2/22), while 2 patients in the freehand nailing group had dural sac rupture and cerebrospinal fluid leakage and 3 had lung infection after operation, with a complication rate of 14% (5/35) ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with freehand nailing, the robot system-assisted nailing revision for AS with lower cervical fracture has more advantages in terms of the operative duration, length of hospital stay, intraoperative bleeding volume, frequency of intraoperative fluoroscopy nailing speed and accuracy, screw holding force, early pain relief, function restoration, and complication rate, despite longer surgical incision.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of laminoplasty via the intermuscular approach or posterior midline approach for treating spinal cord injury without radiographic abnormality (SCIWORA).Methods:A multi-center retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 135 patients with SCIWORA admitted to Honghui Hospital Affiliated to Xi'an Jiaotong University School of Medicine, Xi'an No.5 Hospital, Henan Provincial People's Hospital, Zhengzhou Orthopedic Hospital, Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University from February 2021 to June 2023, including 75 males and 60 females, aged 35-78 years [(55.3±8.1)years]. The injury segments involved C 3-C 6. All the patients underwent posterior cervical open-door laminoplasty, among whom 70 patients were treated via the intermuscular approach (intermuscular group) and 65 via the posterior midline approach (posterior midline group). The operation duration, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage volume, and length of hospital stay were recorded. The visual analogue scale (VAS) score, Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score, neck disability index (NDI), Barthel index, cervical Cobb angle, and cervical range of motion (ROM) were measured preoperatively, at 3, 6, 12 months postoperatively and at the final follow-up. The American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) scale was evaluated preoperatively, at 3, 12 months postoperatively and at the final follow-up. The postoperative complication rate was recorded as well. Results:All the patients were followed up for 15-19 months [(16.3±1.6)months]. The operation duration, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage and length of hospital stay were (125.0±23.0)minutes, (210.4±34.8)ml, and (165.3±23.7)ml, and (5.3±0.1)days in the intermuscular group, which were significantly shorter or less than (168.0±27.6)minutes, (260.2±45.3)ml, (196.4±31.6)ml, and (6.4±0.2)days in the posterior midline group ( P<0.01). The preoperative VAS score, JOA score, NDI and Barthel index showed no significant differences between the two groups ( P>0.05). The VAS score and JOA score also showed no significant differences between the two groups at 3, 6, 12 months postoperatively or at the final follow-up ( P>0.05). The NDI and Barthel index also showed no significant differences between the two groups at 3 months postoperatively ( P>0.05). At 6, 12 months postoperatively and at the final follow-up, the NDI were (15.4±2.5)points, (11.8±2.1)points and (8.6±1.5)points in the intermuscular group, significantly lower than (19.1±3.4)points, (14.3±2.4)points and (11.9±1.4)points in the posterior midline group ( P<0.01). At 6, 12 months postoperatively and at the final follow-up, the Barthel index were (71.4±6.2)points, (83.4±5.8)points and (89.2±7.1)points in the intermuscular group, significantly higher than (59.6±4.7)points, (74.2±3.9)points and (78.8±6.2)points in the posterior midline group ( P<0.01). Both groups showed significant improvements in VAS score, JOA score, NDI and Barthel index at 3, 6, 12 months postoperatively and at the final follow-up when compared to those preoperatively ( P<0.05). Among them, the VAS score, NDI and Barthel index were further improved over time ( P<0.05). Simultaneously, the JOA score was significantly improved at 6, 12 months postoperatively and at the last follow-up when compared to that at 3 months postoperatively ( P<0.05), with no significant difference at later time points between the two groups ( P>0.05). The preoperative cervical Cobb angle and ROM showed no significant differences between the two groups ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the Cobb angle between the two groups at 3, 6 or 12 months postoperatively ( P>0.05), while it was (13.6±2.4)° in the intermuscular group at the final follow-up, significantly larger than (10.4±2.8)° in the posterior midline group ( P<0.01). At 3, 6, 12 months postoperatively and at the final follow-up, the cervical ROM were (34.1±6.4)°, (32.6±7.3)°, (31.8±9.1)° and (29.6±8.7)° in the intermuscular group, significantly larger than (23.7±8.3)°, (22.3±7.8)°, (22.5±8.1)° and (20.6±9.3)° in the posterior midline group ( P<0.01). In the intermuscular group, the cervical Cobb angle showed no significant changes at 3, 6, 12 months postoperatively and at the final follow-up when compared to those preoperatively ( P>0.05). In the posterior midline group, the Cobb angles were significantly reduced at 3, 6, 12 months postoperatively and at the final follow-up when compared to those preoperatively ( P<0.05), showing significant decrease at 12 months postoperatively and at the final follow-up from those at 3, 6 months postoperatively ( P<0.05), no significant difference at 6 months postoperatively from that at 3 months postoperatively ( P>0.05), and significant decrease at the final follow-up from that at 12 months postoperatively ( P>0.05). In the intermuscular group, the cervical ROM were significantly improved at 3, 6, 12 months postoperatively and at the final follow-up when compared to those preoperatively and showed further improvement over time ( P<0.05). In the posterior midline group, the cervical ROM were significantly improved at 3, 6, 12 months postoperatively and at the final follow-up when compared to those preoperatively ( P<0.05), showing significant decreases at 6, 12 months postoperatively and at the final follow-up from that at 3 months postoperatively ( P<0.05), significant decreases at the final follow-up from those at 6, 12 months postoperatively ( P<0.05), and no significant difference at 12 months postoperatively from that at 6 months postoperatively ( P>0.05). The ASIA grades showed no significant difference between the two groups preoperatively, at 3, 12 months postoperatively and at the final follow-up ( P>0.05) , but were gradually improved over time in both groups ( P<0.05). The postoperative complication rate was 9%(6/70) in the intermuscular group, significantly lower than 48%(31/65) in the posterior midline group ( P<0.01). Conclusion:Compared to the posterior midline approach, the intermuscular approach for laminoplasty in patients with SCIWORA possesses advantages, including shorter operative time and length of hospital stay, reduced intraoperative blood loss and postoperative drainage, less postoperative neck disability, higher daily life quality, better long-term preservation of cervical lordosis and motion, and a lower complication rate.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of the Masquelet technique (induced membrane technique) combined with an antibiotic-impregnated bone cement-coated plate for the treatment of infected nonunion following internal fixation of clavicle fractures.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 12 patients with clavicular infected nonunion who underwent staged treatment using the Masquelet technique combined with an antibiotic-loaded bone cement-coated plate between May 2021 and May 2023 in the Second Ward of Traumatic Orthopedics at Gansu Provincial People's Hospital. The cohort included 8 males and 4 females, with a mean age of 28.8±3.1 years (range: 12-48 years). Among them, 10 cases had mid-third clavicular defects, and 2 cases had lateral third defects. All 12 cases involved nonunion due to bone infection following internal fixation of clavicle fractures, with 6 cases initially fixed with Kirschner wires and 6 with plates. The induced membrane technique was applied in two stages. Stage One: Radical debridement was performed, including removal of the original internal fixation and infected necrotic tissue. A plate was implanted, and the bone defect area was filled with antibiotic-loaded bone cement, fully encapsulating the plate. Stage Two: Bone graft reconstruction was carried out 6-8 weeks later, after infection control was confirmed. The induced membrane was incised, the bone cement was removed, and a bone graft was placed within the membrane. Outcomes included infection control, bone union time, pain visual analogue scale (VAS), and Constant-Murley shoulder score (CMS) at the final follow-up.Results:The interval between the first and second surgeries was 7.42±1.17 weeks (range: 6-10 weeks). All 12 patients were followed up for a mean duration of 16.4±3.9 months (range: 12-24 months). One patient experienced recurrent infection after the first-stage surgery, which was controlled after repeat debridement and replacement of antibiotic-loaded bone cement, with no recurrence during follow-up. All 12 patients achieved bony union, with a mean healing time of 3.42±0.67 months (range: 3-5 months). Radiographs showed continuous bone cortex with no visible fracture lines. At the final follow-up, the mean VAS score was 0.42±0.51, significantly lower than the preoperative score of 6.68±1.12 ( t=18.711, P<0.001). The mean CMS score was 88.93±3.94, significantly higher than the preoperative score of 44.41±7.15 ( t=20.786, P<0.001). Conclusion:The Masquelet technique combined with an antibiotic-loaded bone cement-coated plate is effective in treating infected nonunion after internal fixation of clavicle fractures, significantly improving acromioclavicular joint function.

Objective:To explore the feasibility of the new auxiliary analysis software in chromosomal aberration analysis of radiation workers during occupational health examinations.Methods:Health examination data of 2 469 radiation workers in Henan province were collected. Manual analysis of chromosomal aberrations in peripheral blood lymphocytes was conducted using the new auxiliary software and the Ikaros software. Then, the chromosomal aberrations detected using both software tools were compared.Results:The new auxiliary software yielded a lower chromosomal aberration rate among radiation workers compared with the Ikaros software [(0.314 ± 0.014)% vs. (0.391 ± 0.022)%, χ2 = 9.24, P = 0.002]. Notably, the new auxiliary software yielded a significantly lower rate of acentric fragments (ace) [(0.136 ± 0.009)% vs. (0.209 ± 0.020)%, χ2= 17.76, P < 0.001]. However, no statistically significant differences were observed between the result of the two software tools in the rates of dicentrics plus rings (dic + r) and translocations ( P > 0.05). According to the GBZ/T 248-2014 standard, the differences in abnormality rates of chromosomal aberrations between the two groups had no statistically significance ( P > 0.05), with both groups showing an abnormality rate of 0 for ace. Furthermore, the new auxiliary software could double the detection efficiency. Among pre-service radiation workers of various occupations, the differences in the chromosomal aberrations detected using the two software tools exhibited statistical significance ( χ2 = 10.26, P = 0.001). In contrast, the differences in the chromosomal aberrations among in-service and post-service radiation workers had no statistically different significance ( P>0.05). The Poisson regression analysis result demonstrated that the rate of chromosomal aberrations excluding ace was affected by age ( z = 2.73, P = 0.006), while gender, analysis method, service status, and occupation had no impact. Conclusions:The two software tools yielded largely consistent result in detecting chromosomal aberrations induced by exposure to ionizing radiation. Notably, the new auxiliary software can significantly improve detection efficiency, indicating the feasibility of applying it to chromosomal aberration analysis among radiation workers.

Objective:To establish a tumor tissue xenograft (PDX) model derived from liver cancer patients and explore the factors affecting tumorigenicity of liver cancer in the PDX model.Methods:The hepatocellular carcinoma tissues were inoculated subcutaneously in the axilla of NPG mice using the tissue block method to establish a PDX model. The demographic characteristics and related clinical examination data of 60 hepatocellular carcinoma patients were collected using the electronic medical record system and comprehensive medical information system of Beijing You'an Hospital, affiliated to Capital Medical University. The hepatocellular carcinoma samples of 24 cases were sequenced using the Oak Wing TM-808 gene detection reagent and high-throughput sequencing technology. SPSS 17.0 statistical software was used for statistical analysis, and the count data were analyzed using the χ2 test. Results:The tumorigenicity rate of PDX samples from 60 patients with liver cancer was 35% (21/60). The average tumorigenic duration in the PDX-P0 generation was 110.71±50.45 days. There were statistically significant differences ( P<0.05) corresponding to Edmondson grade ( χ2=5.910, P=0.015) and Ki67 expression ( χ2=4.615, P=0.032) among PDX with tumorigenicity and without tumorigenicity between the liver cancer samples. There was no statistically significant difference in gene mutation (TOP25) among PDX with tumorigenicity and without tumorigenicity between liver cancer samples. Conclusion:The factors affecting the tumorigenicity of liver cancer in PDX models are complex. The high pathological grade and strong Ki67 expression may be the key factors for the completion of liver cancer in PDX models.

This study organizes and classifies acupuncture-related standards, and analyzes the current status and existing problems. At present, there are 63 international standards, 40 national standards, 6 industry standards, 43 local standards, and 194 group standards related to acupuncture. The current situation is characterized by an irrational standard structure and incomplete coverage of relevant fields; insufficient coordination mechanisms, with overlapping and redundant standards; slow updating of standards, lacking timeliness. It is suggested that the development of acupuncture-related standards should be promoted through the following measures: improving the structure of the standard system and establishing a sound collaborative management mechanism; implementing full-cycle management of standards in line with technological advancements; and building an acupuncture standards information platform to provide one-stop services.
