Recommendations, consensus-based syntheses of the best available evidence, constitute the core content of a guideline. This paper analyzes the characteristics of emergency health systems guidance documents (HSGs), represented by the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) emergency HSG, regarding the item "recommendations" and its eight evaluation criteria in the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation for Health Systems (AGREE-HS). The World Health Organization (WHO) standard HSGs were used as reference to explore the characteristics of emergency HSGs that are different from non-emergency HSGs. The results showed that the “recommendations” scored second after “topic” among the five items. Criterion 7 relating to operability scored higher than others among the eight criteria, and criterion 3 dealing with ethical principles scored lower than other criteria. Compared with the standard HSGs, the emergency HSGs showed decreased scores (P<0.05) of the item recommendations and the criteria of this item except criterion 4 concerning equity promotion. Among the HSGs with different developers, those developed by the WHO had higher (P<0.05) scores of recommendations than nationally developed HSGs, as evidenced by criterion 4, criterion 5 involving acceptability to and alignment with sociocultural and political interests, and criterion 8 for updating plans. The HSGs regarding global or country strategy scored higher (P<0.05) on criterion 2 relating to comprehensiveness than those involving specific guidance on clinical or material issues. Overall, the emergency HSGs, represented by the COVID-19 emergency HSGs, differ from the standard HSGs in a number of ways in terms of their recommendations. Emergency HSGs have more condensed content and weaker articulation of expected outcomes. They incline to put more emphasis on updating plans, rather than comprehensiveness or integrative requirements in terms of ethics, equity, and sociocultural and political interests.

ObjectiveTo explore the feasibility and rationality of applying relevant diagnostic and treatment programmes from textbooks as evidence in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) diagnosis and treatment guidelines, using allergic rhinitis as an example. MethodsTextbooks published from October 1949 to December 2022, as well as TCM diagnosis and treatment guidelines published until December 2022 on allergic rhinitis were searched, and the contents of diagnosis and treatment related to allergic rhinitis were extracted. The similarities and differences between textbooks in different periods, between textbooks in different versions, and between textbooks and guidelines were compared and analyzed. ResultsA total of 12 national planning textbooks on TCM otolaryngology and 4 Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment guidelines on allergic rhinitis from 1975 to 2021 were included. The evolution of diagnostic and treatment programmes was shown by the textbooks in different periods. Since 2003, syndrome of latent heat in lung channel has been added in the published textbook, and TCM featured therapies, such as nasal packing, intranasal spray were enriched, as well as the contents related to prevention and prognosis. The main syndromes included lung qi deficiency and cold, spleen qi deficiency, kidney yang deficiency, and latent heat in lung meridian. The most common recommended prescriptions were Wenfei Zhiliu Pill (温肺止流丹), Yupingfeng Powder (玉屏风散) and Cangerzi Powder (苍耳子散); Buzhong Yiqi Decoction (补中益气汤), Shenling Baizhu Powder (参苓白术散); Shenqi Pill (肾气丸) or Zhenwu Decoction (真武汤); Xinyi Qingfei Decoction (辛夷清肺饮). A comparison of different versions of textbooks showed that the classification of syndromes was consistent, while the formulas were slightly different. The comparison between different versions of the current textbooks and the guidelines showed that the recommended prescriptions of the textbooks had more Cangerzi Powder, Xiaoqinglong Decoction (小青龙汤), Zhenwu Decoction, etc., while TCM featured therapies such as nose blowing, smelling, nasal plugging, nasal washing were enriched, and information on formula modification, prevention and adjustment, prognosis were also added, which can supplement the corresponding evidence for the guidelines. ConclusionTextbooks could serve as a strong supplement for the evidence-based development of TCM clinical guidelines. However, there is still a need for further research on the quality assessment system of textbook evidence to improve the credibility of its applicability of the guidelines evidence.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of three patients with Immune dysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked (IPEX) syndrome.Methods:Three patients with IPEX syndrome diagnosed at the Children′s Hospital of Fudan University from January 24, 2013 to July 29, 2019 were selected as the study subjects. Their clinical features, laboratory investigations and results of genetic testing were summarized. Treatment and prognosis were also explored.Results:All of the three children had developed the disorder during infancy. One child had initial features including diabetes and diabetic ketoacidosis, whilst the other two had initiated by diarrhea. All patients had gastrointestinal involvement, and one was diagnosed as very early onset inflammatory bowel disease by colonoscopy and biopsy. Two children also had endocrine glands involvement. One child had manifested type 1 diabetes and positivity for thyroglobulin and thyroid peroxidase antibodies, though his thyroid function had remained normal. Another one had hypothyroidism and was treated by levothyroxine. Genetic testing revealed that all children had harbored missense variants of the FOXP3 gene, including c. 1222G>A (p.V408M), c. 767T>C (p.M256T) and c. 1021A>G (p.T341A). The clinical symptoms of one patient were alleviated following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. One patient was stable after treatment with infliximab plus insulin, and one child had died of refractory septic shock and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome at 3 months old. Conclusion:FOXP3 gene variant-associated IPEX syndrome may have very early onset and diverse clinical manifestations. For male patients with infantile onset chronic diarrhea, multiple endocrine or multiple system involvement, genetic testing is recommended, which may facilitate early diagnosis, treatment and genetic counseling.

ObjectiveTo explore the role of efficacy evaluation methods in providing evidence for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) clinical practice guidelines based on a demonstration study of clinical efficacy evaluation of TCM for allergic rhinitis (AR),aiming to enrich the sources of evidence for guideline development. MethodReal-world data of TCM medication for AR were collected and efficacy evaluation was carried out. SPSS 16.0 software was used to calculate the conformity of clinical syndromes,main prescriptions, and medications to the guidelines. Correlation analysis of efficacy and medications was performed according to guideline conformity to compare the differences in medications between real-world clinical applications and current guidelines. ResultA total of 198 cases were collected and the clinical medications were compared with the relevant guidelines for AR. It was found that the clinical syndrome conformity was above 70%,and in addition to the guideline syndrome,there were also syndromes in six meridians and other mixed syndromes in clinical practice. The guideline conformity of the main prescriptions used in clinical practice showed a positive correlation trend with efficacy. There were some differences between the commonly used drugs in clinical practice and those recommended by the guidelines. For example,for lung Qi deficiency and cold syndrome,drugs such as Angelicae Dahuricae Radix, Magnoliae Flos, and Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus were often used. For kidney Yang deficiency syndrome,drugs such as Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma and Ostreae Concha were often used. For spleen Qi deficiency and weakness syndrome,drugs such as Poria, Cinnamomi Ramulus, and Magnoliae Flos were used. For lung Qi deficiency and cold syndrome in children,drugs such as Chebulae Fructus, Cicadae Periostracum, Zingiberis Rhizoma, and Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma were used. For lung and spleen Qi deficiency syndrome,drugs such as Dioscoreae Rhizoma, Menthae Haplocalycis Herba, Amomi Fructus, and Zingiberis Rhizoma were used. There were also some differences in the commonly used drugs for adults and children. For example,for lung Qi deficiency and cold syndrome,adults often used Angelicae Dahuricae Radix, Magnoliae Flos, and Tribuli Fructus,while children often used Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, Paeoniae Radix Alba, and Poria. For lung meridian hidden heat syndrome, adults often used Bupleuri Radix, Asari Radix et Rhizoma, Pinelliae Rhizoma, and Xanthii Fructus, while children often used Houttuyniae Herba, Menthae Haplocalycis Herba, Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, and Massa Medicata Fermentata. ConclusionEffective medication regimens can be screened out based on efficacy evaluation methods,which can help supplement immediate, objective, and clinically relevant evidence of medication for the development of clinical practice guidelines in TCM from the perspective of clinical effectiveness.

Objective:To explore the effect of hypnotic music therapy in reducing eye pain in patients with diabetic retinopathy undergoing panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) .Methods:From January 2019 to January 2020, 60 diabetic retinopathy patients undergoing PRP admitted to Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, were selected as the research object. Patients were divided into the control group and intervention group using the random number table method, with 30 cases in each group. Control group carried out routine high-quality nursing, and intervention group implemented hypnotic music therapy on the basis of control group. We observed the pain (Visual Analogue Score, VAS) , pain nursing satisfaction (Patient Satisfaction Scale) , anxiety (Self-rating Anxiety Scale, SAS) and depression (Self-rating Depression Scale, SDS) of the two groups of patients after PRP.Results:The pain scores of the 4 quadrants of the retina after PRP in intervention group were lower than those in control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P< 0.05) . The SAS score and SDS score of intervention group after intervention were lower than those of control group, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The pain nursing satisfaction score of intervention group was higher than that of control group, and the difference was also statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The application of hypnotic music therapy can reduce the degree of pain during the operation of diabetic retinopathy patients undergoing PRP, relieve anxiety and depression, improve nursing satisfaction, and enable patients to cooperate well with treatment.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of KAI1 expression in colon cancer tissues for tumor recurrence.Methods:Ninety-two pathological tissue samples were collected from patients undergoing radical operation for colon cancer in Tangshan People's Hospital from August 2010 to November 2011. According to the results of follow-up, the patients were divided into recurrent group (33 cases) and non-recurrent group (59 cases). KAI1 expression in tumor tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry. χ2 test was used to analyze the relationship between KAI1 expression in colon cancer tissues and clinicopathological characteristics of patients with colon cancer. Spearman correlation test was used to analyze the relationship between KAI1 expression in colon cancer tissues and the recurrence time of patients. Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze the related factors affecting postoperative recurrence of colon cancer. Results:KAI1 expression in tumor tissues in the recurrent group was lower than that in the non-recurrent group [39.39% (13/33) vs. 62.71% (37/59), χ2 = 4.638, P = 0.031]. KAI1 expression was not associated with patients' gender, age and tumor maximum diameter (all P > 0.05), but related to the tumor differentiation and lymphatic metastasis [high and medium differentiation vs. low differentiation: 70.3% (26/37) vs. 43.6% (24/55), χ2 = 6.324, P =0.012; lymph node metastasis vs. non-lymph node metastasis: 43.2% (19/44) vs. 64.6% (31/48), χ2 = 4.238, P = 0.039]. KAI1 expression in tumor tissues was positively correlated with tumor recurrence time ( r = 0.845, P < 0.05). Cox multivariate analysis showed that the low differentiation of the tumor, lymph node metastasis and negative expression of KAI1 in colon cancer tissues were independent risk factors for recurrence of colon cancer after surgery ( HR = 1.736, 95% CI 1.598-5.391, P = 0.019; HR =1.526, 95% CI 1.175-3.029, P = 0.037; HR = 1.799,95% CI 1.756-5.825, P = 0.013). Conclusion:Low KAI1 expression in colon cancer tissues is closely related to colon cancer recurrence, and the detection of KAI1 expression in colon cancer tissues has certain predictive value for tumor recurrence.

Objective:To evaluate the dry eye status of nursing school students and understand their ocular surface health.Methods:Using the convenience sampling method, a total of 90 nursing students studying in the Nursing College of Capital Medical University in March 2018 were selected as the research objects. The OCULUS Jenvis-OSDI dry eye questionnaire and OCULUS ocular surface comprehensive analyzer were used subjectively and objectively to analyze the heath of ocular surface.Results:According to the OSDI dry eye questionnaire, mild dry eyes were 21 cases accounted for 23.3%, moderate dry eyes were 42 cases accounted for 46.7%, and severe dry eyes were 21 cases accounted for 23.3%. The main symptom of dry eye was foreign body sensation, accounting for 53.3%. The secondary symptoms were photophobia and blurred vision, which accounted for 46.7% and 40%, respectively. The OCULUS ocular surface comprehensive analyzer showed that the amount of tear secretion in both eyes was normal. In dry eye grading based on average tear film break-up time, critical dry eye accounted for about 60% and dry eye accounted for about 10%. Eye red analysis showed that 9 patients (10%) with hyperemia score>2.0 were dry eye caused by inflammation.Conclusions:The nursing school students have a high incidence of dry eye and subjective symptoms. It indicates that the students overuse eye and do not pay attention to eye hygiene. It is the responsibility of the nursing teacher to carry out health education for students, popularize scientific and rational use of eye knowledge, and pay attention to eye health.

Objective:To explore the curative effect of ginger combined with tropisetron on preventing nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy in patients with breast cancer.Methods:80 patients with breast cancer who received first chemotherapy from Beijing Tiantan Hospital from April 2019 to December 2019 were selected by the convenient sampling method. According to the random number table method, they were divided into the control group and the intervention group, with 40 cases in each group. The control group received intravenous tropisetron before routine chemotherapy to prevent nausea and vomiting. On this basis, patients in the intervention group took slices of fresh ginger under the tongue 30 min before chemotherapy and applied the slices of fresh ginger to Shenque acupoint and Neiguan acupoint. The degree of nausea and vomiting after chemotherapy and compliance with chemotherapy were compared between the two groups.Results:On 0 to 5 d after chemotherapy, there were 7 patients with nausea of grade Ⅱ and Ⅲ in the intervention group and 18 patients with nausea of grade Ⅱ and Ⅲ in the control group. There were 4 patients with vomiting of grade Ⅱ and Ⅲ in the intervention group and 18 patients with vomiting of gradeⅡ and Ⅲ in the control group. There were statistically significant differences in the degrees of nausea and vomiting between the two groups ( Z=-2.980, -4.151; P<0.05) . There was no statistically significant difference in chemotherapy compliance between the two groups ( P>0.05) . Conclusions:Ginger in mouth and ginger point application combined with tropisetron can effectively alleviate chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting symptoms.
