ObjectiveThis study employed the scoping review method to systematically retrieve and analyze the basic information and clinical research evidence of expensive Chinese patent medicines （CPMs）， aiming to provide a basis for future related research and clinical applications. MethodsEight Chinese and English databases were systematically searched for the clinical research evidence on expensive CPMs. ResultsEleven expensive CPMs （Angong Niuhuang Wan， Jufang Zhibao Wan， Suhexiang Wan， Pien Tze Huang， Niuhuang Qingxin Wan， Qinggong Shoutao Wan， Compound Realgar Natural Indigo Tablets， Xihuang Wan， Dingkun Wan， Babao Wan， and Guilingji Capsules） were selected. A total of 365 related studies were included in this review， comprising 331 clinical studies （of which 291 were randomized controlled trials）， 30 systematic reviews and Meta-analyses， 3 expert consensus， and 1 rapid health technology assessment. Among the 11 CPMs， 2（Angong Niuhuang Wan and Jufang Zhibao Wan） had a daily price over 500 yuan. The famous and precious Chinese medicinal materials involved included Moschus （frequency of 7）， Bovisc Alculus （7）， and Borneol （5）. The dosage forms included pills， capsules， oral liquid， tablets， and lozenges. The diseases treated by these CPMs mainly included malignant tumors， cerebrovascular diseases， gynecological diseases， and hepatobiliary system diseases. The sample sizes of the clinical studies were mainly concentrated within the range of 51-100 cases， and the main control form was CPM + basic Western medicine treatment vs. basic Western medicine treatment. The 331 clinical studies reported a total of 44 adverse events occurred， of which 36 were determined to be adverse reactions. ConclusionThe scarcity of raw materials leads to the high prices of expensive CPMs. The difficulty of conducting clinical research and the critical and severe cases treated lead to a lack of clinical research evidence with large sample sizes. The uneven distribution of existing studies， incomplete information on medicine package， and non-standard clinical research designs remain to be addressed in the future.

ObjectiveStarting from the etiology， pathogenesis， and treatment strategies of endometriosis and adenomyosis， to integrate and sort out the academic characteristics of contemporary renowned experts and schools in the field of traditional Chinese medicine gynecology. MethodsAccording to the systematic review of text and opinion （SrTO） process developed by the Joanna Briggs Institute （JBI） in Australia， this paper determined literature screening criteria by searching China National Knowledge Infrastructure （CNKI）， VIP， Wanfang， and China Biomedical Literature Database. Information was extracted after literature screening， and quality evaluation was conducted using the JBI Narrative， Text， and Opinion Systematic Review Strict Evaluation Checklist. The JBI Narrative， Opinion， Text Evaluation， and Review Tool Summary Table was used for information synthesis， and data analysis and display were conducted in the form of text and charts. ResultsThe 146 articles related to 39 renowned experts and 19 articles related to 10 schools of thought were included. Research has found that contemporary experts and schools in traditional Chinese medicine gynecology consider blood stasis as the core pathogenesis in understanding the etiology and pathogenesis of two diseases and related infertility. Their viewpoints varied from multiple aspects such as clinical symptom characteristics， meridian circulation location， pathological product evolution， disease duration， emotional psychology， lifestyle habits， preference for food and drink， innate endowment， and acquired injury. In terms of treatment， it was advocated to divide the stage， treat according to different types， adapt to the times， integrate nature and humans， and combine multiple methods to treat comprehensively when necessary. It was also recommended to skillfully use insects， make good use of classic formulas and small prescriptions， pay attention to protecting the spleen and stomach and regulating emotions， and make good use of self-formulated empirical formulas for internal or external use. Besides， individualized long-term management of patients was also advocated. ConclusionThis study applies the SrTO process to systematically summarize the academic ideas of contemporary renowned experts and schools in traditional Chinese medicine gynecology regarding the causes， mechanisms， diagnosis， and treatments of endometriosis， providing a scientific and standardized reference for future theoretical exploration.

Important forensic diagnostic indicators of sudden death in coronary atherosclerotic heart dis-ease,such as acute or chronic myocardial ischemic changes,sometimes make it difficult to locate the ischemic site due to the short death process,the lack of tissue reaction time.In some cases,the de-ceased died of sudden death on the first-episode,resulting in difficulty for medical examiners to make an accurate diagnosis.However,clinical studies on coronary instability plaque revealed the key role of coronary spasm and thrombosis caused by their lesions in sudden coronary death process.This paper mainly summarizes the pathological characteristics of unstable coronary plaque based on clinical medi-cal research,including plaque rupture,plaque erosion and calcified nodules,as well as the influencing factors leading to plaque instability,and briefly describes the research progress and technique of the atherosclerotic plaques,in order to improve the study on the mechanism of sudden coronary death and improve the accuracy of the forensic diagnosis of sudden coronary death by diagnosing different patho-logic states of coronary atherosclerotic plaques.

The education concepts of four famous traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） doctors（XIAO Longyou， SHI Jinmo， KONG Bohua and WANG Fengchun） in Beijing during the Republic of China were compared， the commonalities in their education concepts of TCM were sorted out， and the root system of the cultivation and growth of talents in TCM， as well as the direction and way of further development were searched， so as to improve the quality of the inheritance and development of TCM. Based on the systematic review of text and opinion method（SrTO） developed by the centre for evidence-based health care at the Joanna Briggs Institute（JBI） in Australia， this study was conducted to collate and analyze the relevant information， including 14 books， 115 journal papers and 7 documents. Related theory construction and practice of early tutor and academic education have been summarized from college， continuing and tutor education， academic research， examination， and so on. And then the connections and commonalities between the different forms of education in the period were summarized to form a SrTO-based narrative， opinion， text assessment and review instrument（NOTARI） summary table. The findings revealed that these four esteemed TCM doctors and educators， through their substantial influence on TCM education in Beijing， emphasized the importance of classics in teaching and clinical practice， underscored the cultivation of virtue， preserved the traditional teaching model， and championed the establishment of TCM schools. They also put forward novel requisites for the compilation of curricula， teaching materials， and books. Moreover， they advocated for a unified perspective on TCM and western medicine， fostering talent capable of bridging the gap between the two. They encouraged the standardization of TCM teaching examination system， and actively participated in scientific research and book writing. The four TCM doctors transcended the traditional boundaries of TCM practice， fostering a new TCM model of education-clinical-research， and profoundly influencing the contemporary TCM colleges and teacher education.

BACKGROUND:Ankylosing spondylitis is a progressive inflammation of spinal stiffness deformity caused by tissue ossification and fibrosis.The posture of ankylosing spondylitis patients is abnormal and their activities are limited that minor injuries can lead to thoracolumbar fractures.Traditional medical image observation limits doctors'preoperative decision planning and postoperative disease prevention for ankylosing spondylitis treatment. OBJECTIVE:Based on the spinal model of ankylosing spondylitis patients before and after posterior spinal cancellous ossification osteotomy("Y"osteotomy for short),to explore the biomechanical changes of"Y"osteotomy and fixation in the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis. METHODS:Based on the preoperative and postoperative CT images of an ankylosing spondylitis patient who went to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University,a three-dimensional spine model(T11-S1)before and after"Y"osteotomy(L3 osteotomy)was reconstructed in Mimics 19.0 software.A 7.5 Nm torque was applied to the top of T11 vertebral body to simulate the movement of the spine under six conditions:flexion,extension,left bending,right bending,left rotation and right rotation.Finally,the range of motion of each vertebral body,the stress of each intervertebral disc,and the stress of the screw rod system were simulated. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)After"Y"type osteotomy and posterior fixation,the range of motion of all vertebrae in the spine decreased,and the loss rate of upper vertebrae was large(L1:77.95%).(2)The maximum stress of the spinal intervertebral disc before operation occurred at the L1-L2 segment(0.55 MPa),and the maximum stress of the spinal intervertebral disc after operation occurred at the T11-T12 segment(0.50 MPa),and the stress of intervertebral disc below T12 was far less than that before operation.(3)The maximum stress of the screw rod system(166.67 MPa)occurred in the upper and middle segments of the rod body and the root of the pedicle screw.(4)In conclusion,the"Y"type posterior fixation operation enhances the stability of the spine and reduces the range of motion of the spine.The vertebral body decompression of the fixed segment is great and the stress-shielding phenomenon of the lower vertebral body is significant.The stiffness of the rod body and the stress concentration area of the pedicle screw should be strengthened to avoid the fracture of the rod caused by stress fatigue.

Objective:To explore the acupoint selection law of acupuncture and moxibustion in treating diabetic gastroparesis (DGP) using data mining technology.Methods:The clinical literature on acupuncture and moxibustion treatment for DGP was retrieved from CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, SinoMed, PubMed, the Cochrane Library from the establishment of the databases to July 31, 2023. The acupoint prescriptions were extracted to Excel 2016 to establish a database, and the statistics of acupoint frequency, meridian, distribution site and specific acupoint use were collected. SPSS Modeler 18.0 was used to analyze the association rules among acupoints, and SPSS Statistics 25.0 was used for clustering analysis and factor analysis to summarize the acupoint selection law for acupuncture treatment of DGP.Results:Totally 153 articles were included, involving 59 acupoints, with a total frequency of 802 times. The 5 most frequently used acupoints were "Zusanli" (ST 36), "Zhongwan" (CV 12), "Neiguan" (PC 6), "Sanyinjiao" (SP 6), "Pishu" (BL 20). The commonly used meridians were stomach meridian, Conception Vessel and bladder meridian. The involved acupoints were mostly located in the chest-abdomen and lower limbs, and most of them were Wushu acupoints, Mu acupoints, and Xiahe acupoints. The core acupoints group was "Zusanli (ST 36)-Zhongwan (CV 12)-Neiguan (PC 6)-Pishu (BL 20)-Weishu (BL 21)-Sanyinjiao (SP 6)-Tianshu (ST 25)", 24 groups of association rules, 5 effective clusters and 6 factors were obtained.Conclusion:Acupuncture and moxibustion treatment of DGP focuses on both spleen and stomach, treating both symptoms and root causes, and uses methods of combining acupoints such as distant and near matching, combining Mu acupoints, and Xiahe acupoints, and combining of Wushu acupoints and Mu acupoints, to achieve the therapeutic effect of nourishing yin and tonifying qi, dispelling upper abdominal fullness and resolving turbidity, and harmonizing stomach and strengthening spleen.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of acute T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia(T-ALL)in children and explore the prognostic risk factors.Methods:The clinical data of 127 newly diagnosed children with T-ALL admitted to five hospitals in Fujian province from April 2011 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed,and compared with children with newly diagnosed acute precursor B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia(B-ALL)in the same period.Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to evaluate the overall survival(OS)and event-free survival(EFS),and COX proportional hazard regression model was used to evaluate the prognostic factors.Among 116 children with T-ALL who received standard treatment,78 cases received the Chinese Childhood Leukemia Collaborative Group(CCLG)-ALL 2008 protocol(CCLG-ALL 2008 group),and 38 cases received the China Childhood Cancer Collaborative Group(CCCG)-ALL 2015 protocol(CCCG-ALL 2015 group).The efficacy and serious adverse event(SAE)incidence of the two groups were compared.Results:Proportion of male,age ≥ 10 years old,white blood cell count(WBC)≥ 50 × 109/L,central nervous system leukemia,minimal residual disease(MRD)≥ 1％during induction therapy,and MRD ≥ 0.01％at the end of induction in T-ALL children were significantly higher than those in B-ALL children(P＜0.05).The expected 10-year EFS and OS of T-ALL were 59.7％and 66.0％,respectively,which were significantly lower than those of B-ALL(P＜0.001).COX analysis showed that WBC ≥ 100 x 109/L at initial diagnosis and failure to achieve complete remission(CR)after induction were independent risk factors for poor prognosis.Compared with CCLG-ALL 2008 group,CCCG-ALL 2015 group had lower incidence of infection-related SAE(15.8％vs 34.6％,P=0.042),but higher EFS and OS(73.9％vs 57.2％,PEFS=0.090;86.5％vs 62.3％,PoS=0.023).Conclusions:The prognosis of children with T-ALL is worse than children with B-ALL.WBC ≥ 100 × 109/L at initial diagnosis and non-CR after induction(especially mediastinal mass has not disappeared)are the risk factors for poor prognosis.CCCG-ALL 2015 regimen may reduce infection-related SAE and improve efficacy.

Objective:To explore the application value and damage control of minimally inva-sive techniques in the treatment of acute incarcerated inguinal hernias in the elderly.Methods:In this study,62 elderly patients with acute incarcerated inguinal hernias admitted to the department of emergency surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from June 2018 to June 2023 were selected as the research subjects.After obtaining informed consent from the pa-tient's family for both treatment modalities,they were randomly divided into open surgery group and laparoscopic surgery group.Differences in clinical efficacy,perioperative indicators,post-operative complications,and prognostic follow-up of the two groups of patients were observed.Seven cases of elderly patients aged above 80 had many underlying diseases and poor tolerance during surgery.After treatment of lesions in the hernia contents,only damage control surgery for hernia sac high ligation was performed.Results:In comparison to patients treated with laparo-scopic surgery,there were statistically significant differences(P＜0.05)in the open surgery group in clinical efficacy(efficacy,ineffectiveness,and overall effectiveness),perioperative indicators(length of stay,recovery time of digestive tract function,and VAS pain score),post-operative complica-tions,and prognostic follow-up(local mass,chronic pain,and ratio of second-stage hernia sur-gery).Seven patients treated according to injury control strategies all recovered and discharged from hospital after surgery.Conclusion:Emergency laparoscopic surgery for detecting incarcer-ated inguinal hernias in the elderly is safe and feasible.At the same time,it is essential to correctly assess the patient's vital signs during surgery.If necessary,surgery should be simplified to provide opportunities for follow-up treatment.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

ObjectiveThis study performed a scoping review to comprehensively analyze and report the information on the instructions of Chinese patent medicines and clinical research evidence for the treatment of respiratory diseases in children. MethodChinese patent medicines against respiratory diseases in children were obtained by searching the three major drug catalogues. The Chinese and English databases were searched for relevant literature，followed by data statistics and visualized analysis. ResultAfter screening and analysis，52 Chinese patent medicines were included，involving nine dosage forms. The main drugs were Scutellariae Radix，Armeniacae Semen Amarum，Forsythiae Fructus，etc. The main functions included clearing heat and releasing exterior syndrome，and relieving cough and dissipating phlegm. The indications mainly included common cold with wind-heat syndrome and cough in children. Adverse drug reactions and contraindications were only specified in 19.23% （10/52） of Chinese patent medicines，and the rest only displayed "unclear". A total of 279 articles were included，including 277 articles from Chinese Core Periodicals and two articles from SCIE. In terms of research type，those articles included 253 randomized controlled trials （RCTs，with six dosage form/dose comparisons involved），11 retrospective analyses based on Hospital Information System （HIS） data，one case series，13 systematic reviews/Meta-analyses （with two network Meta-analyses involved），and one economic evaluation article. Among them，72.76% （203/279） of the articles were published in the Core Journals of Chinese Science and Technology. Only 33 Chinese patent medicines were involved，and Xiaoer Feire Kechuan Oral Liquid was the top 1 under investigation，accounting for 15.71% （44/280）. The indicated diseases were mainly infantile pneumonia，bronchitis，respiratory tract infection，cough，asthma，and other western medicine diseases. Xiaoer Chiqiao Qingre Granules and Xiaoer Dingchuan Oral Liquid were used off-label. The sample size was concentrated in 51-150 cases，accounting for 67.17% （178/265）. The interventions in the experimental group were mainly Chinese patent medicine + western medicine + basic treatment or Chinese patent medicine + western medicine. The main outcomes were the effective rate and the improvement of clinical symptoms. The adverse reactions were mainly gastrointestinal reactions，drug-induced skin symptoms，etc.，and two studies have shown that drug doses were associated with adverse reactions. ConclusionIn research years，the research on Chinese patent medicines in the treatment of respiratory diseases in children has advanced rapidly. However，there are still some problems that need to be resolved in the future，such as incomplete information on drug content in the instruction，concentrated drugs to be studied，limited indications，failure to highlight the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndromes，unstandardized research design，and an incomplete reflection of Chinese patent medicine.
