Atherosclerosis is a complex pathological condition resulting from lipid deposition， chronic inflammatory responses， and fibrosis， with a prolonged disease course and multifactorial etiology. Based on the traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） theory of accumulation syndrome， atherosclerosis can be classified under this category， with its pathogenesis involving phlegm， blood stasis， deficiency， and accumulation. This paper proposed a stage-based intervention strategy using the four therapeutic principles of "attacking， supplementing， dispersing， dissipating"， and divided into six stages based on the pathological progression， including the stage of accumulation before formation， the stage of accumulation already formed， the stage of nucleus accumulation， the stage of nucleus accumulation decay， the stage of nucleus accumulation consolidation， and the stage of severe stenosis of nucleus. At different stages， the intervention focuses on reinforcing healthy qi and consolidating the root， tonifying the kidneys and spleen， dispersing and removing turbidity， removing phlegm stagnation， promoting qi circulation， dispersing accumulations and removing stasis， attacking accumulation and expelling stasis， directing the turbid downward and dispersing accumulation， and treatment would be adjusted based on specific symptoms， which provides a theoretical framework for the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis with TCM.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of wrist arthroscopy assisted closed reduction with external fixation in the treatment of intra-articular comminuted fractures of the distal radius(type C3).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 98 patients with type C3 intra-articular comminuted fractures of the distal radius admitted to our hospital from March 2022 to February 2023.Among them,48 patients underwent wrist arthroscopy assisted closed reduction with external fixation with a bracket(arthroscopy group),and another 50 patients underwent open reduction with steel plate internal fixation surgery(control group).The two groups were compared in terms of operation time,intraoperative bleeding volume,incision length,fracture union time,range of motion(ROM)of joint,Visual Analogue Scale(VAS),and Gartland-Werley wrist scores,as well as radiographic parameters(palmar tilt,ulnar inclination,and radial height)evaluated at various follow-up intervals.Results The arthroscopy group had an operation time of(55.3±10.5)min,which was significantly shorter than that in the control group[(83.4±14.6)min;t=-10.979,P=0.000].The intraoperative bleeding volume in the arthroscopy group was(42.3±8.6)ml,which was less than that in the control group[(71.4±10.5)ml;t=-14.953,P=0.000].The incision length of the arthroscopy group was(1.3±0.3)cm,which was shorter than that of the control group[(5.1±1.5)cm;t=-18.550,P=0.000].The arthroscopy group had a fracture healing time of(10.7±1.4)weeks,which was shorter than that in the control group[(12.2±1.6)weeks;t=-4.855,P=0.000].The palmar flexion ROM in the arthroscopy group was 68.8°±8.3°,which was significantly higher than that in the control group(61.5°±9.4°;t=4.002,P=0.000).The dorsiflexion ROM in the arthroscopy group was 63.9°±7.5°,which was significantly higher than that in the comtrol group(59.2°±8.3°;t=2.931,P=0.004).The pronation ROM in the arthroscopy group was 67.4°±10.3°,which was significantly higher than that in the control group(62.1°±9.9°;t=2.604,P=0.011).The supination ROM in the arthroscopy group was 70.5°±7.4°,which was significantly higher than that in the control group(64.4°±8.6°;t=3.777,P=0.000).The VAS score of the arthroscopy group was(1.3±0.6)points,which was significantly lower than that in the control group[(1.7±0.5)points;t=-3.941,P=0.000].After 6 months,the Gartland-Werley wrist scores of the arthroscopy group was significantly higher than that of the control group(Z=-2.614,P=0.009).The wrist joint imaging showed significantly higher radial height,palmar inclination angle,and ulnar deviation angle in the arthroscopy group than the control group(all P=0.000),while there were no significant differences in palmar inclination angle and ulnar deviation angle at different time points within each group(P＞0.05).Except for significant differences in radial height at 3 d,1 month,and 6 months after surgery(P=0.015,P=0.035),there were no significant differences between any other time points(P＞0.05).The interaction between time and group was not significant for palm inclination angle,ulnar deviation angle,and radial height(P＞0.05).Conclusion Wrist arthroscopy assisted closed reduction with external fixation for intra-articular comminuted fractures of distal radius has advantages of short operation time,less intraoperative blood loss,and good recovery of wrist joint functions.

Objective·To compare the safety and short-term outcomes of robot-assisted versus laparoscopic-assisted proximal gastrectomy combined with double-flap esophagogastrostomy in the treatment of early upper gastric cancer.Methods·A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical and pathological data of 31 early gastric cancer patients who underwent proximal gastrectomy combined with double-flap esophagogastrostomy for gastrointestinal reconstruction at the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery,Renji Hospital,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine,from September 2023 to March 2024.Based on the surgical approach,patients were divided into the robot-assisted surgery group(robotic group,20 cases)and the laparoscope-assisted surgery group(laparoscopic group,11 cases).General clinical data,intraoperative conditions,and postoperative recovery between the two groups were compared.At the 6-month postoperative follow-up,upper gastrointestinal radiography and esophagogastroscopy were performed to assess anastomotic stricture and gastroesophageal reflux disease.Additionally,the gastric cancer-specific module of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer(EORTC),Quality of Life Questionnaire-Stomach 22(QLQ-STO22),was used to evaluate the patients' quality of life.Results·The general data of the two groups,including gender,age,preoperative comorbidities,American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA)classification,Siewert classification,and pathological staging of tumors,showed no statistically significant differences(all P>0.05).All patients successfully underwent the procedure without conversion to open surgery.The time for gastroesophageal anastomosis was significantly shorter in the robotic group compared to the laparoscopic group[(31.09±8.23)min vs(43.73±8.83)min,P<0.001],while there were no statistically significant differences in other intraoperative and postoperative parameters,including operative time,intraoperative blood loss,number of lymph nodes removed,duration of gastric tube placement,time to start a liquid diet,length of postoperative hospital stay,and incidence of postoperative complications(all P>0.05).At the 6-month postoperative follow-up,30 patients completed the follow-up,with one patient lost to follow-up in the robotic group.Upper gastrointestinal radiography and esophagogastroscopy results showed that only one patient in the laparoscopic group developed an anastomotic stricture,while one patient in the robotic group developed grade A and one developed grade B gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD).In addition,one patient in the laparoscopic group also developed grade B GERD.The incidences of GERD and anastomotic stricture showed no statistically significant differences between the two groups(both P>0.05).EORTC QLQ-STO22 results indicated that the robotic group had significantly lower scores in the dimensions of dysphagia,gastroesophageal reflux,and dietary restrictions,as well as in the total score,compared to the laparoscopic group(all P<0.05).Conclusion·Robot-assisted proximal gastrectomy combined with double-flap esophagogastrostomy is safe and feasible.It shortens anastomosis time and offers potential advantages in postoperative functional recovery and quality of life improvement.

Reporting guidelines are structured checklists for researchers to follow when reporting spe-cific types of studies.As researches conducted in real-world settings to address practical issues,implementa-tion research has stringent requirements for the replicability of result and the transparency of reporting,making its reporting guidelines particularly important.This paper systematically introduces the reporting guidelines in the field of implementation science,outlines their classification systems and scopes of applica-tion,and focuses on explaining the core characteristics and functions of five key reporting guidelines,inclu-ding the Standards for Reporting Implementation Studies(StaRI),Reporting guidelines for implementation and operational research,the Template for Intervention Description and Replication(TIDieR),the Frame-work for Reporting Adaptations and Modifications-Enhanced(FRAME),and recommendations for specifying and reporting implementation strategies.Furthermore,combined with the PEDALs research paradigm in im-plementation science,this paper further clarifies the specific application pathways for reporting guidelines and discusses directions for refinement,aiming to provide references for researchers to select appropriate reporting guidelines.

In the surgical oncology, the prognosis of patients is mainly dependent on the surgical radicality, with conventional R 0 resection long regarded as the cornerstone of gastric cancer. However, under the precision surgical era, technologies such as genomics, proteomics, and the application of big data and artificial intelligence (AI) have driven the transformation of gastric cancer treatment from the "experience-driven" to the "data-driven" model. This thus poses novel challenges to the conventional R 0 resection, which has prevailed for nearly five decades. The authors combine relevant clinical research to review and anticipate how the classic concept of R 0 resection can adapt to the latest research advancements in molecular pathological diagnosis, imaging analysis, AI-assisted decision-making, and perioperative comprehensive treatment under the AI empowered precision surgical era.
