To develop a guideline terminology system and promote its standardization, thereby enhancing medical staff's accurate understanding and correct application of guidelines.

Objective To investigate the imaging features of papillary tumor of the pineal region(PTPR).Methods The ima-ging data of 10 patients with PTPR confirmed by operation and pathology were analyzed retrospectively.Results All lesions were located in the posterior commissure area of the posterior inferior wall of the third ventricle.All lesions were heterogeneously hyper-intensity on T1WI and hyperintensity on T2WI.Multiple small cysts or microcapsules signal intensity were observed within the tumor.Of all 10 lesions,there were 9 lesions with high signal intensity within or at the edge of the lesion on T1WI.All lesions showed restricted diffusion.All 10 cases showed uneven and obvious enhancement patterns.Midbrain tectum was compressed and moved backward in 5 cases,moved downward in 2 cases,moved forward and downward in 1 case,and was not clearly displayed in other 2 cases.One case was disseminated and 1 case was hyperperfusion.There were all 10 cases with obstructive hydrocephalus and equal or slightly high density on CT imaging,and 4 cases with calcification.Conclusion Imaging characteristics of PTPR included the lesions centered on the posterior commissure,compressed tectum with backward and downward,multiple small cysts or micro-capsules components within the tumor,hyperintensity on T1WI,and uneven and obvious enhancement patterns.

  Objective  To analyze the current status of the development of adaptation guidelines in China, as well as their methodological quality and the reporting quality, in order to provide reference for the development of adaptation guidelines.  Methods  We searched and collected adaptation guidelines led by Chinese researchers or institutions from 2015 to 2023 from four electronic databases, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data Knowledge Service Platform, SinoMed and PubMed, extracted the basic information of the adapted guidelines, and assessed their methodological quality and reporting quality using the Appraisal of Guidelines for REsearch and Evaluation (AGREE) Ⅱ and RIGHT-Ad@pt tools.  Results  A total of 14 adaptation guidelines were included, mainly focusing on nursing (42.9%, 6/14), with the most frequently used adaptation method of ADAPTE (71.4%, 10/14), and with reference to pre-existing guidelines mainly from the United States, the United Kingdom, and international organizations. Assessment by the AGREE Ⅱ tool showed that the average methodological quality score of the adapted guidelines was 36.6%. The scores were relatively high in the domains of clarity of expression and rigor of formulation (44.4% and 54.9%), and lowest in the domain of applicability (15.3%). The results of the RIGHT-Ad@pt tool showed that the reporting quality of the adaptation guidelines was relatively good, with the highest reporting rate of 91.2% and the lowest of 35.3%, and the reporting rates of seven articles were higher than 70%.  Conclusions  Adaptation guidelines in China are still in their infancy, with a relatively small number and mainly focusing on the nursing field. The most commonly used adaptation method is the ADAPTE method. The methodological quality and reporting quality of adaptation guidelines need to be further improved, and more research should be conducted on the specific conditions and timing of adaptation guidelines development.

The essence of clinical practice guidelines lies in their recommendations. It is common to find strong recommendations supported by low-quality evidence in current published guidelines. There is a typical misunderstanding among medical professionals that without high-quality evidence, it is impossible to develop high-quality guidelines or only expert consensus can be developed. Based on the GRADE approach, this paper explains the concept and clinical significance of low-quality evidence, and introduces the methods for formulating recommendations based on low-quality evidence in guidelines, with the aim to provide reference for guideline developers and users in China.

Expert evidence, expert opinion, and expert consensus are frequently mentioned and used in the process of guideline development. However, due to the lack of clear definitions and standards, there is confusion and misuse among the three in practice. This paper clarifies the meanings, current status, differences, and connections of expert evidence, expert opinion, and expert consensus in the development of guidelines, aiming to provide a reference for guideline developers in China.

Generative artificial intelligence (GAI) refers to AI technology capable of generating new content such as text, images, or audio from training data. GAI tools not only demonstrate rapid and efficient potential in literature screening, data extraction, and literature appraisal in systematic reviews, but can also be used for guideline evaluation and dissemination, enhancing the readability and promotion efficiency of guidelines. However, the accuracy of content generated by GAI tools, the rationality of cited evidence, the level of evidence, and the reliability of data still need verification. Additionally, data privacy protection and ethical issues are challenges that need to be addressed. This article aims to overview the current status of GAI tools in the formulation, evaluation, dissemination, and implementation of guidelines, explore the feasibility and new models of GAI tools in the field of guidelines, and improve the efficiency and quality of guideline formulation to better serve guideline developers and users.

Objective:To explore the current situation, hot spots and trends of research on the prevention and treatment of diabetes peripheral neuropathy with TCM; To provide reference for scientific research and clinical practice.Methods:Literature related to the prevention and treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy with TCM was retrieved from CNKI and Web of Science from the establishment of the databases to December 31, 2021. CiteSpace 6.1.3 software was used to visualize the knowledge map of the number of articles, journals, authors, institutions, keyword clustering, and keyword emergence.Results:A total of 793 core articles were included, including 692 in CNKI and 101 in Web of Science. The research on the TCM prevention and treatment of diabetes peripheral neuropathy was on the rise. Liu Tonghua (Beijing University of Chinese Medicine) wrote most Chinese articles, while Liang Xiaochun (Peking Union Medical College Hospital) wrote more English articles. The research institutions were mainly medical colleges and universities and their affiliated hospitals. Current research hotspots and future development trends mainly included the following aspects: TCM compounds, acupuncture therapy, oxidative stress, nerve conduction velocity, expression of related pathogenic genes, randomized controlled experiments, data mining, systematic evaluation, etc.Conclusion:At present, the research on the TCM prevention and treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy at home and abroad has gradually entered a stable development stage and has a certain research scale. However, it is necessary to strengthen the cooperation and communication between research teams and institutions and promote sustainable clinical efficacy evaluation and basic research development.

In order to improve the biological effect of proton therapy,the authors first propose a new method of boron-based proton-enhanced radiotherapy in a"ternary"radiotherapy mode,based on the existing sensitizing effect of proton radiotherapy:i.e,Boron-based mediators(11B and 10B)induce the proton-hydrogen-boron fusion reaction of the low-energy protons arriving at the Bragg peak region of the tumor target area(p+11B→3α)and thermal neutron capture(10B+n→7Li3+(0.84 MeV)+4He2+(1.47 MeV)+γ(0.477 MeV)),which release low-energy α-particles with high LETs to enhance the biological effect of proton dose in the target area,thus improve the clinical effect of proton therapy.Then,the advantages and disadvantages of the"ternary"model were analyzed from the theoretical basis and current research status,and finally,the"ternary"model is summarized and prospected.

Objective To evaluate the scientificity,transparency and applicability of Chinese guidelines and expert consensuses on nursing published in 2022,in order to improve the quality of guidelines and consensuses.Methods Databases including Medline,Embase,Web of Science,CBM,CNKI,WanFang database,Chinese Medical Journal,and related websites were electronically searched,as well as China Hong Kong,Macao and Taiwan medical journals,to collect Chinese guidelines and expert consensuses on nursing from January to December 2022.STAR tool was used to evaluate the quality of each guidelines and consensuses by 3 assessors independently.Total score,scoring rate of each domain and item were adopted to analyze the outcomes.Results A total of 3 guidelines and 33 expert consensuses were included.The total guidelines and expert consensuses STAR score(33.5±14.3).The quality of guidelines and consensuses was low.The quality of guidelines was moderate with average score of 55.1,and the quality of consensuses was low with average score of 31.5.The included guidelines and consensuses had a highest score rate(52.4％)in the domain of recommendation.Among 39 items of STAR tool,the top 4 items including listing participants and institutions,explaining additional instructions for implementation,describing consensus method,and listing references for recommendations had a high score rate of 100％,83.3％,77.8％,75.0％respectively.However,the items of registration,providing registration information,protocols being searched on public platforms and explaining the role of funding had a low score rate,urgent need for attention and upgrading.Conclusion The overall quality of the Chinese guidelines and expert consensuses on nursing published in 2022 was low.As a medical and nursing practice guidance document,the quality of guidelines and expert consensuses should be improved by encouraging registration,strengthening management of interest conflict,enhancing the rigor of guideline developing process,and expanding the dissemination.

Breast milk is the best source of nutrition for infants, and the microbial communities contained in breast milk can regulate the colonization of bacteria in the intestines of newborns and enhance their immunity.As microbial culture, isolation and identification techniques continue to evolve, more and more breast-milk-derived probiotics are being discovered.Common probiotics in breast milk include Lactobacillus, Bifidobacteria, Philococcus, Streptococcus thermophilus, etc.A large number of studies have proved that breast milk-derived probiotics have a certain role in the treatment of infantile colic, functional constipation, diabetes, mastitis and other diseases, and the natural source of breast milk probiotics, adapted to the milk matrix and other characteristics make it stand out from a group of probiotics.The discovery of probiotics isolated from breast milk and the exploration of their probiotic functions can not only provide an experimental basis for the addition of breast milk-derived probiotics to infant formula, but also provide new prospects for the treatment of various diseases.
