Objective To explore the mediating role of occupational well-being in the relationship between professional identity and safety behavior among nurses. Methods A total of 1 006 nurses from ten tertiary general hospitals in eight provincial administrative regions were selected as the research subjects using convenient sampling method. Their safety behavior, professional identity and occupational well-being were investigated using Nurse Safety Behavior Scale, Nurse Professional Identity Scale and Occupational Well-being Scale. Structural equation modeling was performed using AMOS 26.0 to examine the mediating effect of occupational well-being in the relationship between professional identity and safety behavior among nurses. Results The scores for safety behavior, professional identity, and occupational well-being were (53.0±6.1), (123.7±21.2) and (90.8±13.1), respectively. Safety behavior was positively correlated with both professional identity and occupational well-being (correlation coefficients were 0.50 and 0.50, respectively, both P<0.01). Professional identity was positively correlated with occupational well-being (correlation coefficient was 0.51, P<0.01). The multiple linear regression analysis results showed that the higher the professional identity and occupational well-being of nurses, the higher the level of safety behavior (both P<0.05). The result of mediating effect shows that the total effect of occupational identity on safety behavior was 0.498 [95% confidence interval (CI) was 0.405-0.576], and occupational well-being played a mediating role between professional identity and safety behavior among nurses with the mediation effect of 0.156 (95%CI was 0.112-0.205), accounting for 31.33% of the total effect. Conclusion The safety behavior of nurses is at a moderate level. Both professional identity and occupational well-being can affect the safety behavior of nurses. Professional identity can increase the safety behavior of nurses by affecting occupational well-being.

Objective:To evaluate the characteristics, clinical management and clinical outcomes of type 2 intestinal failure (IF).Methods:A descriptive case-control study was carried out. The inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) the diagnosis of IF was performed according to the European Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ESPEN) consensus statement. (2) using a requirement for parenteral nutrition (PN) of 28 days or more as surrogate marker. (3) a multidisciplinary team (MDT) included surgeons, nutritionist, pharmacist, stoma therapists, and critical care physicians. (4) complete laboratory data. Patients with type 1 and type 3 IF and those who do not cooperate with follow-up. All the data of 67 type II IF were collected from the database in Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital from Jan 2016 to Dec 2023. The pathophysiology, clinical management, and outcomes of type II IF were analyzed.Results:A total of 67 type II IF were included. The median age was 54 (15-83) with 43 males and 24 females. The body mass index was (17.5±3.8) kg/m 2, the incidence of malnutrition was 67.2% (45/67), the incidence of sarcopenia was 74.6% (50/67), the median number of previous surgeries was 2.0 (1-13), and the median duration time of PN was 2.1 (1-12) months. The underlying disease of type 2 IF included 36 Crohn`s disease, 2 ulcerative colitis, 3 radiation enteritis, 2 intestinal Behcet's disease, 4 mesenteric infarction, 1 aggressive fibromatosis, 5 abdominal cocoon syndrome, 5 gastrointestinal perforation, 1 hernia, 4 intestinal dysmotility, and 4 other reasons (gastrointestinal tumor, trauma, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma). According to the pathophysiology of IF, there were 33 intestinal fistula, 12 intestinal dysmotility, 6 mechanical obstruction, 13 short bowel syndrome, and 3 extensive small bowel mucosal disease. After treatment with MDT, 67 patients with type 2 IF received nutritional support therapy for intestinal rehabilitation treatment, of which 36 patients recovered with oral diet or enteral nutrition, 31 patients underwent reconstructive surgery after intestinal rehabilitation treatment failure. The median duration time of reconstructive surgery was 2.7 (1-9) months. 24 patients recovered intestinal autonomy after surgery, with 7 deaths, including 6 deaths due to abdominal infections and 1 case of intestinal dysmotility with abiotrophy and liver failure. Conclusion:Standardized multidisciplinary treatment plays an important role in type II intestinal failure, and it promotes patients with intestinal failure regain enteral autonomy.

The clinical practice guidelines of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） have problems such as limited clinical application and unclear implementation effects， which may be related to the lack of clinical practice evidence. To provide reliable and precise evidence for clinical practice， this article proposes a model of combining TCM guidelines with real-world study， which includes 4 steps. Firstly， during the implementation process of the guidelines， a high-quality research database is established. Secondly， the recommendations in the guidelines are evaluated based on the established database in multiple dimensions， including applicability， effectiveness， safety， and cost-effectiveness， and thus their effectiveness in practical applications can be determined. Thirdly， based on the established database， core prescriptions are identified， and the targeted populations and medication plans are determined. That is， the best treatment regimen is established based on the analysis of abundant clinical data regarding the effects of different medication frequencies， dosages， and duration on efficacy. Fourthly， the guidelines are updated according to the real-world evidence. The research based on this model can provide real-world evidence for ancient and empirical prescriptions， improving their application in clinical practice. Moreover， this model can reduce research costs and improve research efficiency. When applying this model， researchers need to pay attention to the quality of real-world evidence， ensuring that it can truly reflect the situation in clinical practice. In addition， importance should be attached to the clinical application of guideline recommendations， ensuring that doctors can conduct standardized diagnosis and treatment according to the guidelines. Finally， full-process participation of multidisciplinary experts is encouraged to ensure the comprehensiveness and scientificity of the study. In conclusion， the application of this model will contribute to the development of TCM guidelines responsive to the needs of clinical practice and achieve the goal of promoting the homogenization of TCM clinical diagnosis and treatment.

As a supplement to randomized controlled trials， observational studies can provide evidence for the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） treatment measures. They can also study influencing factors of diseases， etiology， and prognosis. However， there is a confounding effect due to the lack of randomization， which seriously affects the causal inference between the study factors and the outcome， resulting in confounding bias. Therefore， identifying and controlling confounding factors are key issues to be addressed in TCM observational studies. According to the causal network and the characteristics of TCM theory， confounding factors can be categorized into measured and unmeasured confounding factors. In addition， attention must be paid to identifying confounding factors and intermediate variables， as well as the interaction between confounding factors and study factors. For methods of controlling confounding factors， measured confounding factors can be controlled by stratification， multifactor analysis， propensity scores， and disease risk scores. Unmeasured and unknown confounding factors can be corrected using instrumental variable methods， difference-in-difference methods， and correction for underlying event rate ratios. Correcting and controlling confounding factors can ensure a balance between groups， and confounding bias can be reduced. In addition， methods such as sensitivity analysis and determination of interactions make the control of confounding factors more comprehensive. Due to the unique characteristics of TCM， observational studies of TCM face unique challenges in identifying and controlling confounding factors， including the ever-changing TCM treatment measures received by patients， the often-overlooked confounding effects in the four diagnostic information of TCM， and the lack of objective criteria for TCM evidence-based diagnosis. Some scholars have already conducted innovative explorations to address these issues， providing a methodological basis for conducting higher-quality TCM observational studies， so as to obtain more rigorous real-world evidence of TCM and gradually develop quality evaluation criteria for OS that are consistent with the characteristics of TCM.

OBJECTIVE To provide a detailed report and interpretation of the method and results for determining the weights of the technical indicators from the “multi-dimensional and multi-criteria comprehensive evaluation index system （first edition）” stated in Guideline for Multi-dimensional and Multi-criteria Comprehensive Evaluation of Chinese Patent Medicine. METHODS Normalization calculations were performed on the comprehensive weight values calculated by the analytic hierarchy process and expert weighting method to obtain the objective weights of the indicators. RESULTS The weight results of the six primary dimensions in the current comprehensive evaluation indicator system of Chinese patent medicine showed effectiveness dimension＞ safety dimension＞standard dimension＞application dimension＞scientific dimension＞economic dimension， with weight values of 0.281 0， 0.268 5， 0.195 8， 0.107 3， 0.096 1 and 0.051 3 respectively， consistent with the results of most researches currently. CONCLUSIONS The process of weight determination in this indicator system is scientifically reasonable， with clear methods and clear interpretations， and is worthy of further optimization and widespread application.

The irrational use of Chinese patent medicines （CPM） is becoming more and more prominent， which makes the demand for clinical practice guidelines of CPM gradually increase. In order to make domestic scholars understand the latest developments and existing problems of the CPM guidelines， and promote its development， this paper introduced the concept of CPM guidelines， summarized the characteristics of the two development modes， namely “taking CPM as the key” and “taking disease/syndrome as the key”， and analyzed the current methodological status of developing and reporting CPM guidelines. Based on the existed problems， three suggestions have been put forward to optimize the quality of CPM guidelines， which were clarifying the target users and scope of CPM guidelines， establishing an open and transparent mechanism of the personnel involvement and process steps， and formulating implementable and operable recommendations for the use of CPM.

This paper summarized the key points and methods in terms of the establishment of the guideline working group and the management of conflict of interests， trying to provide reference for the development of clinical practice guidelines for Chinese patent medicine （CPM）. The establishment of the working group is the first important step for developing CPM guidelines. Considering the characteristics of the clinical practice guidelines for CPM， this study suggests that the three key elements of ‘multidisciplinarity’， ‘clinical relevance’ and ‘geographical representativeness’ should be put focus on when forming the working group. The guideline advisory committee， clinical expert group， evidence systematic evaluation group， secretary group and the external review group should be established. All group members should clarify the conflict of interest， and the process and management method of the conflict of interest should be clearly reported.

The systematic and comprehensive introduction and interpretation of the Reporting Checklist of Clinical Practice Guidelines for Chinese Patent Medicines V1.0 is conducive to the presentation of high-quality clinical practice guidelines for Chinese patent medicines （CPMs）， thus improving their dissemination and use. The Reporting Checklist of Clinical Practice Guidelines for Chinese Patent Medicines V1.0 specifies the requirements for clear， complete and transparent reporting of the whole process of developing CPMs guidelines， containing 4 domains， 17 topics and 43 items， and involving the basic information， recommendations and methods of guideline development. Especially， it details the items related to the rules and regulations of the use of CPMs in the recommendations， which is helpful for improving the completeness， scientificity and practicality of the reporting of CPMs guideline.

Objective To investigate the characteristics,clinical indicators and risk factors of levofloxacin-induced arrhythmias in large hospitalized populations.Methods Using the"Adverse Event Active Monitoring and Intelligent Assessment Alert System-Ⅱ"(ADE-ASAS-Ⅱ),the electronic medical record of inpatients using levofloxacin in 2019 was monitored to obtain relevant data for patients with arrhythmias.Patients without arrhythmia were selected by propensity score matching,and the risk factors of levofloxacin-induced arrhythmias were analyzed by univariate and multivariate conditional logistic regression.Results The incidence of levofloxacin-induced arrhythmias was 1.64％in 12 879 people who used levofloxacin.The incidence in people over 65 years was 3.22％.The main manifestations of levofloxacin-induced arrhythmias were extrasystole(0.84％),tachycardia(0.63％),QT interval prolongation(0.44％),and no severe arrhythmias such as torsades de pointes and ventricular fibrillation.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the course of administration(OR=1.030,95％CI 1.009 to 1.050,P=0.004)and intravenous administration(OR=2.392,95％CI 1.478 to 3.870,P＜0.001)independent risk factors for levofloxacin-induced arrhythmias.Conclusion Arrhythmias caused by levofloxacin are common and have various types,among which the occurrence of QT interval prolongation is occasional.We should pay more attention to elderly patients who receive intravenous levofloxacin and try to avoid long courses of medication.
