Medical institutions, with their clinical practice foundation and abundant human use experience data, have become important carriers for the inheritance and innovation of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) and the "cradles" of the preparation of new TCM. To effectively promote the transformation of new TCM originating from the TCM clinical practice in medical institutions and establish an effective evaluation index system for the transformation of new TCM conforming to the characteristics of TCM, consensus experts adopted the literature research, questionnaire survey, Delphi method, etc. By focusing on the policy and technical evaluation of new TCM originating from the TCM clinical practice in medical institutions, a comprehensive evaluation from the dimensions of drug safety, efficacy, feasibility, and characteristic advantages was conducted, thus forming a comprehensive evaluation system with four primary indicators and 37 secondary indicators. The expert consensus reached aims to encourage medical institutions at all levels to continuously improve the high-quality research and development and transformation of new TCM originating from the TCM clinical practice in medical institutions and targeted at clinical needs, so as to provide a decision-making basis for the preparation, selection, cultivation, and transformation of new TCM for medical institutions, improve the development efficiency of new TCM, and precisely respond to the public medication needs.

PURPOSE: Intertrochanteric fracture (ITF) classification is crucial for surgical decision-making. However, orthopedic trauma surgeons have shown lower accuracy in ITF classification than expected. The objective of this study was to utilize an artificial intelligence (AI) method to improve the accuracy of ITF classification. METHODS: We trained a network called YOLOX-SwinT, which is based on the You Only Look Once X (YOLOX) object detection network with Swin Transformer (SwinT) as the backbone architecture, using 762 radiographic ITF examinations as the training set. Subsequently, we recruited 5 senior orthopedic trauma surgeons (SOTS) and 5 junior orthopedic trauma surgeons (JOTS) to classify the 85 original images in the test set, as well as the images with the prediction results of the network model in sequence. Statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS 20.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) to compare the differences among the SOTS, JOTS, SOTS + AI, JOTS + AI, SOTS + JOTS, and SOTS + JOTS + AI groups. All images were classified according to the AO/OTA 2018 classification system by 2 experienced trauma surgeons and verified by another expert in this field. Based on the actual clinical needs, after discussion, we integrated 8 subgroups into 5 new subgroups, and the dataset was divided into training, validation, and test sets by the ratio of 8:1:1. RESULTS: The mean average precision at the intersection over union (IoU) of 0.5 (mAP50) for subgroup detection reached 90.29%. The classification accuracy values of SOTS, JOTS, SOTS + AI, and JOTS + AI groups were 56.24% ± 4.02%, 35.29% ± 18.07%, 79.53% ± 7.14%, and 71.53% ± 5.22%, respectively. The paired t-test results showed that the difference between the SOTS and SOTS + AI groups was statistically significant, as well as the difference between the JOTS and JOTS + AI groups, and the SOTS + JOTS and SOTS + JOTS + AI groups. Moreover, the difference between the SOTS + JOTS and SOTS + JOTS + AI groups in each subgroup was statistically significant, with all p < 0.05. The independent samples t-test results showed that the difference between the SOTS and JOTS groups was statistically significant, while the difference between the SOTS + AI and JOTS + AI groups was not statistically significant. With the assistance of AI, the subgroup classification accuracy of both SOTS and JOTS was significantly improved, and JOTS achieved the same level as SOTS. CONCLUSION In conclusion, the YOLOX-SwinT network algorithm enhances the accuracy of AO/OTA subgroups classification of ITF by orthopedic trauma surgeons.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of modified Dahuang Fuzi Decoction following the therapy of unblocking bowels for the treatment of acute pancreatitis of pathogenic-cold accumulation and retention type.Methods A total of 78 patients with acute pancreatitis of pathogenic-cold accumulation and retention type were randomly divided into a study group and a control group,39 cases in each group.The control group was treated with conventional western medicine,and the study group was treated with oral use or nasogastric feeding of Dahuang Fuzi Decoction on the basis of treatment for the control group.The course of treatment covered seven days.The two groups were observed in the changes of serum pancreatic enzyme indicators of serum amylase and lipase,inflammatory factors of C-reactive protein(CRP),procalcitonin(PCT),interleukin-6(IL-6)and interleukin-8(IL-8),acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHE Ⅱ)score,and modified CT severity index(MCTSI)score before and after treatment.The time for abdominal pain relief,time for abdominal distension relief,and time for anal defecation were compared between the two groups.After treatment,the clinical efficacy and safety of the two groups were evaluated.Results(1)During the trial,there was one patient falling off separately from the study group and the control group,and 38 patients in each group were eventually included in the efficacy statistics.(2)After seven days of treatment,the total effective rate of the study group was 86.84％(33/38),and that of the control group was 78.95％(30/38).The intergroup comparison(tested by rank sum test)showed that the efficacy of the study group was significantly superior to that of the control group(P＜0.05).(3)After treatment,the serum levels of pancreatic enzyme indicators of amylase and lipase in the two groups were decreased compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the decrease of serum amylase and lipase levels in the study group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.05).(4)After treatment,the serum levels of inflammatory factors of CRP,PCT,IL-6 and IL-8 in the two groups were decreased compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the decrease of serum CRP,PCT,IL-6 and IL-8 levels in the study group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.05).(5)After treatment,the APACHE Ⅱ and MCTSI scores of the two groups were decreased compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the decrease of APACHE Ⅱ and MCTSI scores in the study group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.05).(6)For the time of symptom relief,the time for abdominal pain relief,time for abdominal distension relief,and time for anal defecation in the study group were significantly shortened compared with those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).(7)No obvious adverse reactions occurred in the two groups during the treatment,indicating high safety.Conclusion On the basis of conventional treatment,the use of modified Dahuang Fuzi Decoction following the therapy of unblocking bowels exerts certain efficacy for the treatment of patients with acute pancreatitis of pathogenic-cold accumulation and retention type.The therapy is effective on relieving the symptoms and signs of patients,and decreasing the level of serum pancreatic enzyme indicators and inflammatory factors.

Objective To report the clinical characteristics,diagnosis,and treatment process of two infants with infantile epileptic spasms syndrome(IESS)caused by DYNC1H1 mutation,and to review the relevant literature.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of two IESS patients with DYNC1H1 mutations who were treated at the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital.Databases such as PubMed,Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man(OMIM),China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),and Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform were searched to obtain relevant literature,aiming to summarize the clinical characteristics of IESS patients with DYNC1H1 mutations,and to explore the relationship between treatment and phenotype-genotype.Results Two IESS patients with DYNC1H1 mutations were identified(case 1:c.874C>T,p.Arg292Trp;case 2:c.5884C>T,p.Arg1962Cys).Both patients presented with the onset of spastic seizures in infancy,which were poorly controlled with various medications.They exhibited severe developmental delay,and cranial magnetic resonance imaging in case 1 revealed pachygyria.A search of multiple databases and manual screening yielded a total of 7 English articles and 2 Chinese articles.Fifteen cases of DYNC1H1-related IESS were identified,of which 12 cases progressed to drug-resistant epilepsy and 12 cases had significant congenital structural abnormalities of the cranium.Nine different mutation sites were distributed in 3 structural domains,including 4 cases in the tail domain,3 cases in the motor with ATPase subunit domain,and 2 cases in the stalk or microtubule-binding domain.Conclusions DYNC1H1 gene variations can cause IESS,often accompanied by brain developmental abnormalities and developmental delay/intellectual disability.The poor prognosis may be attributed to the combined effects of gene dysfunction and brain developmental abnormalities.

Ulcerative colitis(UC)is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease characterized by non-specific,persistent inflammation in the intestines.This chronic inflammation often increases the risk of serious complications such as colorectal cancer.Dysplasia acts as a driver of cancer development and plays a connecting role in the occurrence and development of chronic intestinal inflammation and colorectal cancer.Cell proliferation/apoptosis imbalance is the driving factor for dysplasia development.The abnormal proliferation/apoptosis of intestinal mucosal epithelial cells may be affected by cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2),tumor suppressor gene p53,or both.Therefore,reasonable regulation of COX-2/p53 axis may be a key to achieving intestinal mucosal proliferation/apoptosis balance.This article discusses the effects and mechanism of COX-2 and p53 in regulating the occurrence and development of dysplasia in UC from the proliferation/apoptosis imbalance of intestinal mucosal epithelial cells,aiming to provide a reference for understanding the mechanism of dysplasia in UC and developing targeted therapeutic drugs.

Objective: This cross-sectional investigation aimed to determine the incidence, clinical characteristics, prognosis, and related risk factors of olfactory and gustatory dysfunctions related to infection with the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron strain in mainland China. Methods: Data of patients with SARS-CoV-2 from December 28, 2022, to February 21, 2023, were collected through online and offline questionnaires from 45 tertiary hospitals and one center for disease control and prevention in mainland China. The questionnaire included demographic information, previous health history, smoking and alcohol drinking, SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, olfactory and gustatory function before and after infection, other symptoms after infection, as well as the duration and improvement of olfactory and gustatory dysfunction. The self-reported olfactory and gustatory functions of patients were evaluated using the Olfactory VAS scale and Gustatory VAS scale. Results: A total of 35 566 valid questionnaires were obtained, revealing a high incidence of olfactory and taste dysfunctions related to infection with the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron strain (67.75%). Females(χ2=367.013, P<0.001) and young people(χ2=120.210, P<0.001) were more likely to develop these dysfunctions. Gender(OR=1.564, 95%CI: 1.487-1.645), SARS-CoV-2 vaccination status (OR=1.334, 95%CI: 1.164-1.530), oral health status (OR=0.881, 95%CI: 0.839-0.926), smoking history (OR=1.152, 95%CI=1.080-1.229), and drinking history (OR=0.854, 95%CI: 0.785-0.928) were correlated with the occurrence of olfactory and taste dysfunctions related to SARS-CoV-2(above P<0.001). 44.62% (4 391/9 840) of the patients who had not recovered their sense of smell and taste also suffered from nasal congestion, runny nose, and 32.62% (3 210/9 840) suffered from dry mouth and sore throat. The improvement of olfactory and taste functions was correlated with the persistence of accompanying symptoms(χ2=10.873, P=0.001). The average score of olfactory and taste VAS scale was 8.41 and 8.51 respectively before SARS-CoV-2 infection, but decreased to3.69 and 4.29 respectively after SARS-CoV-2 infection, and recovered to 5.83and 6.55 respectively at the time of the survey. The median duration of olfactory and gustatory dysfunctions was 15 days and 12 days, respectively, with 0.5% (121/24 096) of patients experiencing these dysfunctions for more than 28 days. The overall self-reported improvement rate of smell and taste dysfunctions was 59.16% (14 256/24 096). Gender(OR=0.893, 95%CI: 0.839-0.951), SARS-CoV-2 vaccination status (OR=1.334, 95%CI: 1.164-1.530), history of head and facial trauma(OR=1.180, 95%CI: 1.036-1.344, P=0.013), nose (OR=1.104, 95%CI: 1.042-1.171, P=0.001) and oral (OR=1.162, 95%CI: 1.096-1.233) health status, smoking history(OR=0.765, 95%CI: 0.709-0.825), and the persistence of accompanying symptoms (OR=0.359, 95%CI: 0.332-0.388) were correlated with the recovery of olfactory and taste dysfunctions related to SARS-CoV-2 (above P<0.001 except for the indicated values). Conclusion: The incidence of olfactory and taste dysfunctions related to infection with the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron strain is high in mainland China, with females and young people more likely to develop these dysfunctions. Active and effective intervention measures may be required for cases that persist for a long time. The recovery of olfactory and taste functions is influenced by several factors, including gender, SARS-CoV-2 vaccination status, history of head and facial trauma, nasal and oral health status, smoking history, and persistence of accompanying symptoms.

Objective:To explore the effects of fluorescence method and improved expansion and collapse method on cardiopulmonary function, immune function and safety during segmental pneumonectomy.Methods:One hundred and fifty-six patients with lung segmental resection operation in Yucheng People′s Hospital from March 2018 to August 2020 were enrolled. They were divided into two groups according to the random number table method, each group with 78 patients. The patients in the observation group were treated with fluorescence method and the patients in the control group were treated with modified expansion collapse method. The operation indexes, immune function and cardiopulmonary function of the two groups were compared, and the incidence of postoperative complications were counted.Results:The intraoperative time and the appearance time of intersegmental plane in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group: (105.33 ± 10.62) min vs. (139.46 ± 12.58) min, (15.46 ± 1.13) s vs. (724.56 ± 65.65) s, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). After operative for 1, 7 d, the levels of 6 min walking distance, peak expiratory flow rate, percentage of forced vital capacity and percentage forced expiratory volume in 1 second in the observation group were higher than those in the control group: after operative for 1 d: (475.36 ± 10.29) m vs. (412.11 ± 13.33) m, (284.52 ± 10.33) L/min vs. (251.13 ± 12.89) L/min, (85.65 ± 3.21)% vs. (81.13 ± 1.43)%, (83.25 ± 2.55)% vs. (74.49 ± 2.53)%; after operative for 7 d: (510.23 ± 16.66) m vs. (488.33 ± 15.42) m, (302.13 ± 15.58) L/min vs. (285.12 ± 10.22) L/min, (93.46 ± 5.79)% vs. (88.44 ± 5.44)%, (92.25 ± 2.32)% vs. (85.54 ± 2.13)%, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). After operative for 1, 7 d, the levels of CD 4+/CD 8+, CD 8+, CD 4+ in the observation group were higher than those in the control group: after operative for 1 d: 0.85 ± 0.10 vs. 0.52 ± 0.04, 0.305 ± 0.025 vs. 0.285 ± 0.012, 0.325 ± 0.021 vs. 0.304 ± 0.025; after operative for 7 d: 1.13 ± 0.10 vs. 1.02 ± 0.07, 0.324 ± 0.029 vs. 0.306 ± 0.023, 0.359 ± 0.024 vs. 0.332 ± 0.025, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The rate of postoperative complications in the observation group was lower than that in the control group: 2.56%(2/78) vs. 11.54%(9/78), there was statistical difference ( χ2 = 4.79; P = 0.029). Conclusions:Both the fluorescence method and the modified inflation-collapse method have certain therapeutic effects, but the combination of fluorescence method in segmentectomy can provide reliable technical support and reduce the impact on cardiopulmonary function.
