The traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） myocardial infarction （MI） unit is a standardized， regulated， and continuous integrated care unit guided by TCM theory and built upon existing chest pain centers or emergency care units. This unit emphasizes multidisciplinary collaboration and forms a restructured clinical entity without altering current departmental settings， offering comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic services with full participation of TCM in the treatment of MI. Its core medical model is patient-centered and disease-focused， providing horizontally integrated TCM-based care across multiple specialties and vertically constructing a full-cycle treatment unit for MI， delivering prevention， treatment， and rehabilitation during the acute， stable， and recovery phases. Additionally， the unit establishes a TCM-featured education and prevention mechanism for MI to guide patients in proactive health management， reduce the incidence of myocardial infarction， and improve quality of life.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of a self-developed mobile augmented reality navigation system (MARNS) in guiding spinal level positioning during intraspinal tumor surgery based on a dual-error theory. Methods: This retrospective study enrolled patients diagnosed with intraspinal tumors admitted to Fujian Provincial Hospital between May and November 2023. The participants were divided into conventional x-rays and self-developed MARNS groups according to the localization methods they received. Position time, length of intraoperative incision variation, and location accuracy were systematically compared. Results: A total of 41 patients (19 males) with intraspinal tumors were included, and MARNS was applied to 21 patients. MARNS achieved successful lesion localization in all patients with an error of 0.38±0.12 cm. Compared to x-rays, MARNS significantly reduced positioning time (129.00±13.03 seconds vs. 365.00±60.43 seconds, p<0.001) and length of intraoperative incision variation (0.14 cm vs. 0.67 cm, p=0.009). Conclusion The self-developed MARNS, based on augmented reality technology for lesion visualization and perpendicular projection, offers a radiation-free complement to conventional x-rays.

Objective To assess the safety of femoral artery puncture procedures guided by X-ray and ultrasound among elderly patients.Methods A total of 480 patients undergoing transcatheter interventional treatment for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases through the femoral ar-tery in our hospital between January 2016 and December 2022 were enrolled in the study.Of them,326 patients receiving femoral artery puncture guided by X-ray fluoroscopy were assigned into X-ray group,while the other 154 patients guided by vascular Doppler ultrasound were into ultrasound group.With propensity score matching(PSM)in a ratio of 1∶1,finally 270 patients were included.Their general clinical data,success rate of puncture,puncture site,and incidence of vascular complications were compared between the two groups.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors for vascular complications.Results Before PSM,there were no statistical differences in the mean distance from the skin fold to the bifurcation of the common femoral artery(2.5±1.0 cm vs 2.4±0.8 cm)or the distance from the fold to the in-guinal ligament(6.4±1.4 cm vs 6.3±1.7 cm)between the X-ray group and the ultrasound group(P＞0.05).After PSM,the X-ray group exhibited an obviously higher incidence of puncture points below the common femoral artery than the ultrasound group(14.8％vs 6.7％,P＜0.05),but no significant differences were observed in the one-time success rate of puncture or the occur-rence of vascular complications between the two groups(P＞0.05).Multivariate logistic regres-sion analysis indicated that the presences of non-common femoral artery and femoral artery calci-fication at the puncture site was independent risk factors for vascular complications(OR=8.379,95％CI:3.561-19.717;OR=3.922,95％CI:1.664-9.242).Conclusion There is no statistical disparity in safety between X-ray-versus ultrasound-guided femoral artery puncture procedures.Cli-nicians should choose appropriate puncture procedure or combine them together based on individual con-dition of patients.

Objective:To evaluate the anesthetic effect of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS)-erector spinal plane block (ESPB)-general anesthesia in elderly patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery.Methods:A total of 100 American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅱ or Ⅲ elderly patients, aged 65-75 yr, with a body mass index of 19-27 kg/m 2, undergoing elective lumbar fusion internal fixation within two levels in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine from October 2023 to March 2024, were selected and divided into 2 groups ( n=50 each) using a random number table method: TEAS group (T group) and control group (C group). In T group, TEAS was performed at 30 min before anesthesia induction until the end of operation, then transcutaneous electrical stimulation of bilateral Hegu, Neiguan and Zusanli was performed for 2 consecutive days after surgery, once a day, 30 min per time. Electrodes were applied to the same acupoints without electrical stimulation in group C. After induction of general anesthesia, bilateral ESPB was performed under ultrasound guidance, and 0.375% ropivacaine 20 ml was injected on each side in both groups. Patient-controlled intravenous analgesia was carried out with sufentanil citrate from the end of surgery until 48 h after surgery. When VAS score≥4, tramadol was intravenously injected as rescue analgesic. The consumption of remifentanil and propofol, the total number of successfully delivered doses (D1) and the number of attempts (D2) within 48 h after operation, and the D1/D2 ratio and rescue analgesia were recorded. The concentrations of interleukin-6, interleukin-10, tumor necrosis factor-α and T-lymphocyte subsets (CD3 +, CD4 +, CD8 + ) were determined before stimulation of acupoints and at 24 and 48 h after surgery. The CD4 + /CD8 + ratio was calculated. Results:Compared with group C, the consumption of intraoperative remifentanil was significantly decreased, D1 and D2 were reduced, the D1/D2 ratio was increased, the rate of rescue analgesia was decreased, the serum concentrations of interleukin-6, interleukin-10 and tumor necrosis factor-α were decreased at each time point after operation, and the serum concentrations of CD3 + and CD4 + and CD4 + /CD8 + ratio were increased in group T ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with combination of ESPB and general anesthesia, TEAS-ESPB-general anesthesia can provide better analgesic effect, reduce postoperative inflammatory responses and improve the immune function in elderly patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery.

Objective:To investigate value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS)in predicting ischemic-type biliary lesions(ITBLs)in patients with thickened hilar bile duct wall at early stage after liver transplantation.Methods:A total of 45 patients,who underwent liver transplantation at the Liver Transplantation Center of Beijing Friendship Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from June 25,2020 to December 28,2022,and occurred hilar bile duct wall thickening at early stage after surgery,were prospectively included.CEUS was performed on biliary tract when the thickened hilar bile duct wall was first detected by routine ultrasound,and the enhanced mode of duct wall at each phase was recorded.Subsequently,according to the results of cholangiography,these patients were divided into ITBLs group(15 cases)and non-ITBLS group(30 cases).The enhanced degree of each phase of CEUS of two groups was qualitatively analyzed and compared,and the diagnostic efficacy of CEUS for ITBLs after liver transplantation was evaluated.Results:There were no significant differences in source of liver donor,biliary anastomosis,autoimmune liver disease,hepatic artery occlusion(HAO),rejection,cytomegalovirus infection and cholangitis between the two groups(P>0.05).The compared results of the enhanced mode of CEUS at arterial phase between the two groups indicated that 25 patients(83.3%)were hyper-enhancement,and 5 patients(16.7%)were iso-enhancement,and 0 patient was hypo-enhancement or non-enhancement in non-ITBLS group.The compared results also indicated that 3 patients(20.0%)were hyper-enhancement,and 4 patients(26.7%)were iso-enhancement,and 8 patients(53.3%)were hypo-enhancement or non-enhancement in ITBLs group.The difference of above results between the two groups was statistically significant(x2=22.946,P<0.000).There was no significant difference between the two groups in the enhanced mode at the late phase(P>0.05).The accuracy,sensitivity,specificity,positively predictive value and negatively predictive value of the prompted hypo-enhancement or non-enhancement at arterial phase of CEUS on biliary tract were respectively 84.4%,53.3%,100%,100%and 84.4%in diagnosing ITBLs.For 8 patients who were diagnosed as ITBLs by CEUS,the diagnostic time of CEUS for ITBLs was 1 to 6 months[3.0(1-5)months]ahead of that of cholangiography.Conclusion:CEUS can more accurately predict ITBLs before the biliary tract occurs significant morphological change,which can significantly advance the diagnostic time for ITBLs.

Gastrointestinal motility disorder is an important cause of digestive system diseases. Patients often suffer from nausea， vomiting， gastric retention， gastroparesis， constipation， and many other symptoms， and their quality of life is seriously reduced. Prokinetic agents are routinely used in clinical practice， but their long-term use is prone to problems such as reduced efficacy and increased adverse reactions. Since the incidence of gastrointestinal diseases has continued to rise globally in recent years， there is an urgent need for clinical development of safe and effective treatment strategies. Aurantii Fructus， a traditional Chinese medicine， has the effect of smoothing Qi and eliminating distention， and it has been used to treat gastrointestinal diseases for thousands of years. In modern clinical practice， it is mainly used for the treatment and auxiliary treatment of various gastrointestinal diseases such as functional dyspepsia， functional constipation， and irritable bowel syndrome. The efficacy is remarkable， and no adverse reactions have been reported at conventional doses. Therefore， it can greatly improve the symptoms of patients with gastrointestinal diseases and improve their quality of life. Modern research has revealed that there are many active components in Aurantii Fructus， among which flavonoids have the highest content and the most types. Flavonoids are the main active components in Aurantii Fructus to regulate gastrointestinal motility. Aurantii Fructus and its active components can affect gastrointestinal hormones， neural pathways， Cajal mesenchymal cells， and other multiple mechanisms. They can adjust gastrointestinal motility and correct gastrointestinal motility disorders， showing potential application value in the treatment of gastrointestinal motility disorders. However， a comprehensive analysis of Aurantii Fructus in this aspect is still lacking. This study summarized the pharmacological activities of active components of Aurantii Fructus extract and its flavonoids， volatile oils， alkaloids， and coumarin on the regulation of gastrointestinal motility and explored the latest research progress on its mechanism. Finally， the adverse reactions of Aurantii Fructus were summarized. It aims to provide a scientific basis for the research and clinical application of Aurantii Fructus and its active components in the regulation of gastrointestinal motility.

OBJECTIVE To establish the ultra-high liquid chromatography （UPLC） characteristic spectrum of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis from different producing areas， to conduct chemical pattern recognition analysis， and to identify the medicinal materials of their different origins and counterfeit products. METHODS UPLC method was adopted to establish the characteristic spectra of 43 batches of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis from different origins； cluster analysis combined with principal component analysis were used to analyze their quality； Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis from different origins and counterfeit products were identified. RESULTS UPLC specific spectrum of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis was established， and 13 common peaks were calibrated； peak 2 was identified as catechin， peak 3 as chlorogenic acid， peak 4 as cryptochlorogenic acid， peak 7 as isochlorogenic acid B， peak 8 as isodehydroguotenine， peak 9 as isooguotenine， peak 10 as dehydroguotenine， peak 11 as isochlorogenic acid C， peak 12 as goutenine， and peak 13 as camptothecin. Through cluster analysis， the medicinal materials of 43 batches of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis could be divided into 5 categories according to their different origins. Further principal component analysis revealed that the principal component comprehensive scores of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis produced in Jiangxi and Hunan were relatively high， ranging from 0.264 to 2.904. The specific chromatogram could effectively distinguish among the different origins and their counterfeit products of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis. CONCLUSIONS The established UPLC specific chromatogram can be used for quality control of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis， and the study found that the quality of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis from Jiangxi and Hunan provinces is relatively good.

Objective To systematically evaluate the risk factors for new-onset atrial fibrillation after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG). Methods PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, SinoMed were searched to collect published literature on risk factors for new-onset atrial fibrillation after OPCABG from inception to September 2022. Two authors independently screened, extracted data and evaluated the quality. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to evaluate the quality of the included studies, and Stata 12.0 and RevMan 5.4 softwares were used for meta-analysis.
