Abstract:
The application and development of integrated Chinese and Western medicine in the field of public health services is of great significance for improving the health level of the whole people and realizing a healthy China. This paper discusses the opportunities and challenges of integrated Chinese and Western medicine in the current development of public health, and puts forward some thoughts and prospects for the future development. Chinese medicine theory emphasizes the holistic concept and treatment based on pattern differentiation, focusing on prevention as the mainstay, and the idea of treating the unhealthy in upper medicine, which has distinctive application advantages in public health services. In China' s Action for a Healthy China (2019-2030), which focuses on the prevention and control strategies of four major chronic diseases, namely cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes, it is particularly important to integrate traditional Chinese medicine into the prevention and control of chronic diseases and health management. This paper summarizes and analyzes the important position and inevitability of the development of integrated Chinese and Western medicine in China' s health policy in various historical periods since the founding of New China, as well as the important achievements and practical experience in the field of public health. In the context of the strategy of healthy China, the importance of integrated Chinese and Western medicine in disease prevention, control and chronic disease health management has become increasingly prominent, and it also faces challenges such as how to better integrate traditional Chinese and Western medicine resources, improve service continuity, and enhance service convenience and comfort. By effectively dealing with the current challenges, the deepening and development of integrated Chinese and Western medicine can be further promoted. This paper proposes that to achieve high-quality development of public health, we must focus on the concept of combining Chinese and Western medicine, give full play to the inherent characteristics of traditional Chinese and Western medicine theory and discipline, combine modern information technology and artificial intelligence technology, improve the ability of accurate health management of public health, and train public health talents with the characteristics of integrated Chinese and Western medicine in a new era. It will provide important support and lasting impetus for achieving universal health and promoting a healthy China.

Abstract:
Stroke is known as a " four-high" disease, characterized by a high incidence, high mortality, high disability rate, and high recurrence rate. The incidence of spastic paralysis after stroke reaches 50%. If improperly treated or left untreated, the spastic state may become permanently fixed. This not only leads to pain and stiffness in the affected limbs but also results in muscle atrophy, joint contractures, deformities, and limited range of motion, ultimately causing disability (with a disability rate as high as 75%). Relieving spasticity is the key and difficult point in the rehabilitation of stroke-induced hemiplegia, and it directly influences the effectiveness of recovery outcomes. In order to address this key and difficult point, the Writing Group of Expert Consensus on traditional Chinese and Western medicine rehabilitation for stroke formulated this expert consensus based on clinical practice, combining holistic treatment with individualized rehabilitation. The rehabilitation of spastic paralysis of limbs after stroke should be centered on integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine, combined with multidisciplinary teams such as rehabilitation department and acupuncture and moxibustion department, and comprehensively managed from diagnosis, western medical treatment, traditional Chinese medicine treatment, acupuncture therapy, massage therapy, rehabilitation therapy, evaluation indicators, and prevention and regulation, fully drawing on both domestic and international clinical practice experience to leverage the distinctive features and advantages of traditional Chinese medicine, which has demonstrated clear clinical efficacy and holds significant potential for further development.

Abstract:
  Objective   Relevant studies have indicated a correlation between blood uric acid (UA) levels and the occurrence and progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pulmonary obstruction; In this study, Mendelian randomization analysis is used to further explore the causal relationship between them.  Methods   The gene loci related to COPD, blood uric acid, and pulmonary ventilation were screened from the aggregated data of genome-wide association studies and used as instrumental variables to conduct Mendelian randomization analysis using various analysis methods such as IVW. MR-PRESSO, MR-Egger intercept and, leave-one-out methods were used to analyze the sensitivity of relevant gene loci.  Results   IVW results showed no causal relationship between UA and the occurrence of COPD (OR = 1. 053, 95% CI: 0. 932-1. 189, P = 0. 406), and neither MR-PRESSO nor MR-Egger observed horizontal polymorphism and heterogeneity. No significant association between UA and first second forced expiratory volume ratio of the measured value to the predicted value (FEV1%) changes (β = -0. 006, P = 0. 686), No significant association between UA and FEV1 / forced vital capacity (FVC) changes (β = -0. 004, P = 0. 323), and horizontal polymorphism and heterogeneity were observed for MRPRESSO and MR-Egger, however, after excluding SNPs with horizontal pleiotropy, the results still showed no significant association (UA-FEV1% P = 0. 412, UA-FEV1 / FVC P = 0. 303). No significant changes in the above causal relationships were observed after the relevant gene loci were removed one by one by the leave-one-out method.  Conclusion   The results of this study show that UA is positively correlated with the development of COPD and negatively correlated with changes in FEV 1% and FEV1 / FVC, but none of these is a correlate causal relationship.

Abstract:
  Objective   By analyzing the relationship between high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and albumin (Alb) and the failure of weaning in patients with respiratory failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the predictive value of weaning failure in this disease is analyzed.  Methods   A retrospective analysis was conducted on 242 patients with respiratory failure COPD at Chun ' an Branch of Zhejiang Provincial People ' s Hospital from October 2022 to October 2023. The cases were were divided into a successful weaning group (180 cases) and a failed weaning group (62 cases) based on the weaning outcome. Univariate analysis was used to analyze the general information of two groups of patients, and multiple logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of weaning failure in COPD patients with respiratory failure. ROC curves were plotted to analyze the predictive value of hsCRP to Alb ratio for weaning failure in COPD patients with respiratory failure.  Results   The age, acute physiology and chronic health score (APACHE Ⅱ), hs-CRP, hs-CRP to Alb ratio, incidence of gastrointestinal dysfunction, mechanical ventilation time, and Alb level of patients in the successful weaning group were lower than those in the failed weaning group (P < 0. 05), the duration of mechanical ventilation was shorter than that of the failed weaning group and the Alb levels were higher than that of the failed weaning group (P < 0. 05). Older age, high APACHE Ⅱ score, and high hs-CRP to Alb ratio are all risk factors for failed weaning in COPD patients with respiratory failure. The ROC curve results showed that age, APACHE Ⅱ, hs-CRP to Alb ratio had AUC values of 0. 735, 0. 716, and 0. 927 for the failure of weaning in COPD patients with respiratory failure, among them, the hs-CRP to Alb ratio had the highest predictive value.  Conclusion   The occurrence of weaning failure in COPD patients with respiratory failure is related to the increase in the ratio of hsCRP to Alb, which can serve as an early predictor of weaning failure.

Abstract:
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the most common chronic respiratory disease. It is characterized by high incidence, disability, and mortality rates. It is considered to be one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality worldwidely. It contributes significantly to the economic and caregiving burdens on individuals, families, and society. The substantial burden of COPD has been widely recognized as a major global public health issue. However, the widespread lack of diagnosis and misdiagnosis lead to many patients either not receiving treatment or receiving inappropriate care, further complicating the prevention and control of COPD. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a common, preventable, and treatable disease. It is currently believed that early detection, diagnosis, and intervention are crucial in the prevention and treatment of COPD, and can lead to significant improvements in public health. However, with the aging population and the increasing incidence of COPD in recent years, the current global diagnosis and treatment of COPD remains concerning. In China, public awareness of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is low, and primary healthcare providers lack the necessary knowledge and prevention skills related to COPD. This significantly hampers the early, standardized prevention and treatment of COPD. This article discusses the current situation of prevention and treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in China and advocates for increased attention to lung health. Early screening, diagnosis, and intervention should be carried out for individuals with respiratory symptoms, such as chronic cough and shortness of breath, as well as high-risk factors for COPD. Timely referrals should be made, and in collaboration with respiratory specialists at tertiary hospitals, closed-loop management should be completed to established to ensure optimal lung health. The aim is to provide a framework for early prevention, diagnosis, and timely, appropriate treatment and intervention of COPD, ultimately opening new opportunities for improved care.

Abstract:
  Objective  To explore the effectiveness of interprofessional shared decision-making model for pregnant women with twins and to provide reference for promoting shared decision-making in clinical practice.  Methods  A total of 108 cases of pregnant women with twins in the Second Ward of Obstetrics, the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University were selected as research objects and divided into a control group and an observation group randomly, with 54 cases in each group. The control group was guided by conventional intervention methods during pregnancy, while the observation group participated in the interprofessional shared decision-making model in addition to the standard care. The adverse outcomes of perinatal infants, level of participation in clinical decision-making, satisfaction with medical decisionmaking, and hospital anxiety and depression were compared between the two groups.  Results  After the intervention, the incidence of inconsistent twin growth, low birth weight, and hypoglycemia showed significant differences between the two groups (P < 0. 05). The SDM-Q-9 scores were significantly higher in the observation group (40. 50±6. 25) than in the group (25. 24±4. 18, P < 0. 001). The satisfaction score of medical decision-making participation in the observation group was also significantly higher, with a score of 68. 17±9. 50 compared to 45. 83±11. 38 in the control group (P < 0. 001). The hospital anxiety and depression scores were significantly lower in the observation group [3. 00(2. 00, 4. 00)] compared to the control group [7. 00(6. 00, 8. 00), P < 0. 001].  Conclusion  Participation in the interprofessional shared decision-making model can improve perinatal adverse outcomes, increase participation in clinical decision-making and satisfaction in medical decisions, and reduce anxiety and depression in pregnant women.

Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the expression and clinical significance of LncRNA-DGCR5 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).  Methods  A total of 105 NSCLC patients admitted to 3201 Hospital from January 2020 to January 2021 were collected. The expression levels of LncRNA-DGCR5 were detected, and the patients were divided into a low expression group (n = 41) and a high expression group (n = 64). The relationship between the expression level of LncRNADGCR5, the radiotherapy efficacy, and prognosis of patients was analyzed.  Results  The expression level of LncRNADGCR5 in cancer tissues was significantly lower than that in adjacent tissues (1. 21±0. 45 vs. 4. 02±0. 89, t = 28. 872, P < 0. 05). Compared with the high expression group, the proportion of poorly differentiated tumor and TNM stage Ⅲ to Ⅳ in the low expression group was higher (63. 41% vs. 17. 19%, 56. 10% vs. 32. 81%, χ2 = 23. 401, 5. 566, P < 0. 05). In contrast to the high expression group, the objective response rate was lower (46. 34% vs. 87. 50%, χ2 = 27. 648, P < 0. 05), and the 3-year disease-free survival (DFS) was shorter (27. 00 months vs. 31. 00 months, log-rank χ2 = 10. 120, P < 0. 05) in the low expression group. Additionally, patients with low tumor differentiation, TNM stage Ⅲ to Ⅳ, and lymph node metastasis had lower median DFS (28. 15, 28. 66, 27. 45 months, respectively, χ2 = 9. 074, 5. 105, 12. 116, all P < 0. 05). Tumor differentiation, TNM stage, lymph node metastasis, and LncRNA-DGCR5 expression were all significantly associated with median DFS in NSCLC patients (P < 0. 05).  Conclusion  LncRNA-DGCR5 is expressed at low levels in NSCLC tissues and is closely related to the radiotherapy efficacy and patient prognosis.

Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the expression levels of miR-223 and the mTOR / S6K pathway in synovial tissues of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and their correlation with disease activity and antibody levels.  Methods  A total of 17 RA patients who were hospitalized in the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology of Huaian First People' s Hospital from January 2016 to December 2017 with moderate to severe disease RA were selected, along with 9 patients hospitalized for knee osteoarthritis (OA) surgery as controls. The synovial tissue from the knees of RA patients was obtained under the guidance of ultrasound, while tissue from OA patients were obtained by orthopedic surgeons. The expression levels of mTOR, S6K, RPS6 mRNAs, and miR-223 level in the synovial tissue were detected by qRT-PCR. Differences in miR-223 level and mRNA levels of mTOR, S6K, and RPS6 between the two groups were compared. The correlations between the level of miR-223 and the mRNA levels of mTOR, S6K, and RPS6, as well as anti-CCP antibody and disease activity indicators, were analyzed in the RA group.  Results  The miR-223 level in the RA group was significantly increased compared with the OA group (P < 0. 001), while the mRNA levels of S6K and RPS6 in the RA group were significantly decreased compared with the OA group (P < 0.05), There was no statistically significant difference in the expression level of mTOR mRNA between the RA group and the OA group. The miR-223 level in the RA group was negatively correlated with the mRNA levels of S6K and RPS6 (P < 0.05), but no significant correlation was found between miR-223 level and the level of mTOR mRNA. The levels of miR-223 and mTOR mRNA in the RA group were negatively correlated with the serum antiCCP antibody level (P < 0.05), while the level of RPS6 mRNA was positively correlated with the anti-CCP antibody level (P=0.009). The miR-223 level in the RA group was positively correlated with the serum CRP level (P=0.043), There was no correlation between the mRNA levels of RPS6, mTOR, and S6K and the CRP level.  Conclusion  An abnormal miR-223/ mTOR / S6K pathway exists in the synovial tissue of RA knee joints, correlating with the levels of anti-CCP antibody and CRP, indicating the potential pathways for further research into the pathogenesis of RA.

Abstract:
  Objective  This study aims to explore the risk factors for multidrug-resistant infections in young tuberculosis patients and construct a risk Nomogram model for assessing the incidence risk of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis.  Methods  From January 2019 to December 2021, 203 young patients with pulmonary tuberculosis were admitted to Anhui Chest Hospital, and their clinical data were collected. Using a random number table, the patients were divided into a validation group of 67 patients and a modeling group of 136 patients. Among them, there were 75 drug-resistant cases and 61 non-drug-resistant cases. Lasso regression and logistic regression were employed to analyze the risk factors for drug resistance in young pulmonary tuberculosis patients, following which a Nomogram prediction model was constructed and validated.  Results  Logistic regression analysis showed pulmonary cavitary lesions, innutrition, elevated glycosylated hemoglobin, positive sputum smear microscopy, and low income as independent risk factors for multidrug-resistant infection in young pulmonary tuberculosis patients. Using these risk factors, a Nomogram predictive model was constructed, with an area under the curve of 0. 904 for the modeling group and 0. 743 for the validation group, indicating good diagnostic accuracy. Hosmer-Lemeshow test results indicated no significant difference between the observed and model-predicted risks in both the modeling and validation datasets (P = 0. 438, 0. 733), suggesting good model fit and consistency with actual infection risks.  Conclusion  The Nomogram model, established using Lasso logistic regression analysis, exhibits high predictive capability for multidrug-resistant infection in young pulmonary tuberculosis patients. This enables prompt implementation of early intervention measures, ultimately improving prognosis.

Abstract:
  Objective  To analyze the clinical features of patients infected with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and to explore reliable clinical indicators for predicting high-risk populations that are likely to progress to severe cases.  Methods  A retrospective analysis was conducted on 85 patients with confirmed diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection treated at the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine at the Suzhou Hospital of Anhui Medical University from December 2022 to February 2024. Patients were categorized according to the severity of their clinical symptoms, resulting in the formation of two distinct groups: the non-severe group (n = 47) and the severe group (n = 38). The differences in clinical characteristics, blood routine, C-reactive protein (CRP) and T lymphocyte subsets between the two groups were compared. Logistic regression analysis was applied to identify the risk factors of the severe group and a predictive model was constructed. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to compare the predictive value of each risk factor and their combined application in predicting severity.  Results  A comparison of the non-severe group with the severe group revealed a higher incidence of comorbidities in the latter, including diabetes. Additionally, the severe group exhibited significantly lower levels of eosinophils, CD4+T lymphocytes and CD8+T lymphocytes (P > 0.05). Furthermore, a notable difference was observed in the mean BMI between the two groups. The results of the stepwise logistic regression analysis indicated that CD4+T lymphocytes, diabetes, and BMI were significant risk factors for the severe group. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) for CD4+T lymphocytes, BMI and diabetes were 0. 877, 0. 748 and 0. 663, respectively. The sensitivity of CD4+T lymphocytes, BMI and diabetes were 81. 6%, 60. 5% and 36. 8%, respectively; and the specificity were 85. 1%, 93. 6% and 95. 7%, respectively. The AUC for the model constructed by combining the three factors was 0. 928, the sensitivity was 97. 4% and the specificity was 76. 6%.  Conclusion  A reduced count of CD4+T lymphocytes can effectively predict the clinical severity of patients with COVID-19 alone or in conjunction with a high BMI and comorbid diabetes.

Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the impact of catheter radiofrequency ablation (RFA) on cardiac structure and long-term survival in patients with heart failure and persistent atrial fibrillation (AF).  Methods  A retrospective analysis was conducted on 379 patients with heart failure and persistent AF who were hospitalized in the Atrial Fibrillation Center of Suining Central Hospital from January 2017 to May 2019.Based on whether they underwent RFA during their hospitalization, they were further divided into two groups: the RFA group (n=33) and the control group (n=126).The baseline data of both groups were compared.All patients were followed up, and some echocardiographic indicators were compared during hospitalization and follow-up to assess the improvement of cardiac structure.Kaplan-meier survival analysis was used to evaluate the long-term survival of the RFA group and the control group.Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to correct for confounding factors and assess the impact of RFA on long-term prognosis.  Results  The baseline data of the RFA group and the control group showed comparable results.Compared with admission, the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter and left ventricular ejection fraction in the echocardiographic indicators of the RFA group improved significantly during follow-up, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05).Among the 4 patients in the RFA group (12.1%) and 39 patients in the control group (31.0%), events occurred at the end of follow-up.Kaplan-meier survival analysis showed that the long-term prognosis of theRFA group was better than that of the control group (P=0.049).Through multivariate Cox regression analysis, adjusting for gender, age, body mass index, left ventricular ejection fraction, and implantable cardioverter defibrillator, it was found that RFA remained an independent factor affecting long-term prognosis (HR=0.335, 95%CI: 0.116-0.964, P=0.043).  Conclusion  RFA can improve the left ventricular structure and ejection fraction in patients with heart failure andpersistent AF, and is an important factor in improving prognosis.

Abstract:
  Objective  Thrombocytopenia is one of the common complications in patients with sepsis.Platelet transfusions are frequently administered to increase platelet counts, however, their clinical impacts in sepsis-induced thrombocytopenia remains unclear.This article discusses the impact of platelet transfusion on the prognosis of patients with sepsis.  Methods  Patients with sepsis admitted to the ICU of Taizhou Hospital from January 2019 to December 2021 were selected as the study subjects.According to the platelet transfusion at ICU admission, septic patients were divided into two groups: a platelet transfusion group (PT group) and a non-platelet transfusion group (NPT group).Propensity score matching (PSM 1:1) was used to balance the groups.Cox logistic regression model and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis were used to analyze the impact of platelet transfusion on the prognosis in patients with sepsis.  Results  A total of 274 patients with sepsis were included in the study, with 57 patients in the platelet transfusion group.After PSM, 38 patients were matched in each group.The primary outcomes were 28-day and 90-day mortalities, which were 31.6%(12/38) and 36.8%(14/38) in the PT group, respectively, compared to 36.8%(14/38) and 39.5%(15/38) in the NPT group, with no significant difference (P>0.05).Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed no significant difference in the 28-day and 90-day cumulative survival rates of patients between the platelet transfusion group and the NPT group (P>0.05).The Cox logistic regression model showed the APACHE Ⅱ score (HR=1.138, 95%CI: 1.066-1.215, P < 0.05) as an independent factor influencing prognosis in sepsis patients, while platelet transfusion (HR=0.457, 95%CI: 0.182-1.146, P>0.05) was not a significant factor.  Conclusion  This study found that the APACHE Ⅱ score is an independent factor for 28-day mortality in septic patients, while platelet transfusion does not improve the prognosis of patients with sepsis.

Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the expression of cysteine protease inhibitor SN (CST1) in peripheral blood of childhood asthma and its clinical significance.  Methods  Fifty-two asthma children (observation group) and 52 health were selected in Central Hospital of Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Enshi from May 2021 to September 2022. Peripheral venous blood was taken in the observation group and control group on the day after admission, and the expression of serum CST1, IFN-γ, IL-33, IL-4, and IL-13 was detected by ELISA. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between serum CST1 expression and children-asthma control test (C-ACT) score, IL-33, IL-4, and IL-13 levels. The ROC curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of CST1 expression in asthma children.  Results  Compared with the control group, the expression of CST1 protein in the serum of the observation group was significantly increased (P < 0.01). Spearman correlation analysis showed that CST1 expression was negatively correlated with C-ACT score in the observation group (r=-0.601, P < 0.001) and was negatively correlated with IFN-γ expression (r=-0.413, P=0.002). The expression of CST1 was positively correlated with the levels of serum IL-33 (r=0.416, P=0.002), IL-4 and IL-13 (r=0.542, P < 0.001; r=0.425, P=0.002). ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC of serum CST1 expression in the diagnosis of childhood asthma was 0.876 (95% CI: 0.807-0.945), and its cut-off value was 944 pg/mL, with a sensitivity of 90.4% and specificity of 61.5%. The AUC of predicting the severity of the disease by CST1 expression in serum was 0.711 (95% CI: 0.568-0.854), and the cutoff value was 1 404 pg/mL, with a sensitivity of 70.4% and a specificity of 68.0%.  Conclusion  The expression of CST1 protein in the serum of asthma children is increased, and it is correlated with C-ACT score, serum IL-33, IL-4, and IL-13. Serum CST1 expression can be used as a biological indicator for the diagnosis and severity of childhood asthma.

Abstract:
  Objective  The increase in the number of patients undergoing impacted tooth extraction surgery has resulted in higher demands being placed on nursing services in clinical practice. The present study employs a combination of four-handed operation and the LEARNS model of health education to analyze its impact on the disease cognition level and cooperation of patients undergoing impacted tooth extraction surgery.  Methods  The present study selected 113 patients who underwent impacted tooth extraction surgery at the Affiliated Stomatological Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from November 2022 to February 2024 as the subjects for its investigation study subjects. The subjects were randomly divided into two groups: a control group (56 cases) and an observation group (57 cases). The randomization was performed using a random number table method. The control group received routine nursing care in combination with four-handed handed operation, while the observation group received LEARNS model health education in addition to the control group. A comparison should be made of the cognitive level and psychological status from two groups of patients before and after intervention, and the treatment cooperation and postoperative complications in the two groups of patients should be calculated.  Results  Following the intervention, a statistically significant difference was observed in the disease cognitive level score of the observation group in comparison to the control group (P < 0.05). Furthermore, post-intervention, the observation group demonstrated lower scores on both the dental fear scale (DFS) and the dental anxiety scale (DAS) when compared to the control group (P < 0.05); The treatment cooperation rate of patients in the observation group was 98.2% (56/57), which was higher than 85.7% (48/56) in the control group (P < 0.05); Following the extraction of impacted teeth, the incidence of complications in the observation group was 3.5% (2/57), which was lower than that in the control group [17.9% (10/56), χ2=6.127, P=0.013].  Conclusion  The findings of this study demonstrate that a four-handed operation in combination with the LEARNS model health education program is beneficial for improving the disease awareness and cooperation level of patients undergoing impacted tooth extraction surgery. The results of this study indicate that this combination effectively alleviates dental anxiety and fear and is worthy of clinical application.

Abstract:
Traditional examinations for urinary diseases are of great importance in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of patients. However, these methods entail a number of potential risks, including lengthy test times, excessive exposure to X-rays or radioisotopes due to the frequency of tests, and the possibility of an allergic reaction to contrast media. Optical imaging is a radiation-free, high-spatiotemporal-resolution, and high sensitivity real-time imaging technology with a wide range of potential applications. In comparison to visible light, near-infrared light has the capacity to significantly enhance both the penetration depth and fluorescence intensity, while simultaneously providing a high signal-to-noise ratio imaging effect. In addition to providing a clear image of urinary system anatomy, this method can also be employed for the early, non-invasive assessment of renal function. Furthermore, due to their advantageous renal clearance rate and specific binding to tumors, certain probes can be employed to assess intraoperative repair of damaged ureters, direct tumor resection and ascertain the characteristics of incisal margins, and possess the capacity for surgical navigation. As a topic of considerable current interest in the scientific community, near infrared fluorescence imaging has demonstrated considerable potential in the diagnosis and treatment of urinary diseases. The objective of this review is to provide a comprehensive summary of the preparation strategies for relevant fluorescent probes along with their research progress in the field of urinary system structure, function, and tumor imaging. Additionally, it will highlight the limitations associated with NIR fluorescence imaging and offer insights into potential future applications.

Abstract:
Parkinson ' s disease (PD) is an age-dependent late-onset neurodegenerative disorder characterized by classic motor and non-motor symptoms. At present, the etiology and mechanism of PD are not fully understood, but in addition to the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra densa and the abnormal deposition of α-synuclein in their cells, it has been gradually discovered that a variety of new cell death modes are involved in the development of PD, including pyroptosis, autophagy, and iron death. Cell iron death, as a new type of programmed cell death, is overdriven by lipid peroxidation and regulated by iron dependence, which has common pathophysiological features with PD. Cellular iron death is mainly caused by excessive iron deposition, imbalance of amino acid metabolism, lipid peroxidation, and mitochondrial damage, which lead to nerve cell toxicity, and eventually lead to neuronal cell death and loss. Therefore, some related drugs, such as iron chelating agents, iron death inhibitors, and lipophilic antioxidants, can inhibit cell iron death by inhibiting metal ion reaction, reducing iron metabolism imbalance and oxidative stress damage, so as to intervene in the pathogenesis and progression of PD. Based on this, this paper summarized the potential pathogenic mechanism of iron death in PD and the molecular mechanism of selective inhibition of cell iron death in the remission and treatment of PD, laying a foundation for further development of targeted intervention and treatment of iron death. At the same time, studying the mechanism of cell iron death can provide new ideas and directions for future drug development, help improve the quality of life of PD patients, delay the progression of the disease, and provide more possibilities for the treatment and management of PD.

Abstract:
Hyperhomocysteinemia is a disease state defined by elevated plasma concentrations of homocysteine. Hyperhomocysteinemia has the potential to cause damage to numerous systems within the human body, including the cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, nervous and endocrine systems. Additionally, it has been linked to adverse pregnancy outcomes and fetal malformations. The field of general practice encompasses the study of all diseases affecting all organ systems in all populations. Consequently, general practice must address health issues at all stages of the life cycle. The impact of hyperhomocysteinemia on the human body is extensive, encompassing diseases of different systems in all age groups and being inextricably linked to numerous areas of general practice. In accordance with the primary ailments addressed in general medical practice as outlined in the 2022 Edition of the Content and Standards for Standardized Residency Training, published by the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, the following conditions are of particular relevance: the early stages of disease and health issues, prevalent, and recurrent illnesses within primary care, and clinical scenarios involving multiple concurrent diseases. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in the field of hyperhomocysteinemia and their implications for general practice. The objective is to enhance the awareness of hyperhomocysteinemia among General Practitioners and the wider community. This will facilitate the avoidance or reduction of the occurrence and development of diseases caused by hyperhomocysteinemia through the implementation of early prevention and intervention strategies, and the maintenance of population health through the provision of regular follow-up care for high-risk groups, This will enable general practitioners to assume the role of "gatekeepers" of population health. It is recommended that relevant departments and social organizations devote greater attention to hyperhomocysteinemia when formulating corresponding policies, guidelines and consensus. Furthermore, they should advocate for high-risk groups to enhance health management, cultivate positive lifestyles, prioritize disease prevention and proactively maintain and promote residents ' health. In the meantime, the research value of hyperhomocysteinemia must be further developed. This paper provides a new research direction for the continued study of hyperhomocysteinemia.

Abstract:
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is a rare autosomal dominant hereditary vascular disease characterized by skin and mucosal telangiectasia, leading to different degrees of bleeding syndrome and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in lung, liver, and nervous system. The most common clinical manifestation is recurrent nasal bleeding, while AVMs may lead to serious complications, including pulmonary hypertension, high output heart failure, liver failure, portal hypertension, brain abscess, and stroke. The clinical manifestations of HHT vary widely, with symptoms worsening with age. It is important to use the Curacao criteria and to perform genetic analysis of genes such as ENG, ACVRL1, and SMAD4. Due to the potential vascular hazards and complications of the disease, and the individual variability, effective management relies on recognizing clinical manifestations and early signs of the disease, as well as long-term clinical and imaging follow-up. Multimodal imaging, including transthoracic echocardiography, CT, and MRI, is crucial for detecting visceral involvement of the disease, which can serve as an important way to early screen HHT vascular lesions. Angiography is an important tool for both the diagnosis and interventional treatment of HHT, especially for lung and central nervous system. Recently, progresses have been made in the molecular pathway of drug action on angiogenesis, and a better understanding of the pathophysiology of angiogenesis has been achieved. Imaging also helps to understand the clinical response, hemostatic efficacy and safety of new therapies, and is expected to reduce the occurrence of serious complications. It is very important for the diagnosis and treatment of HHT visceral arteriovenous malformations. This article reviews the clinical manifestations of HHT combined with echocardiography, CT, MRI, angiography, and other imaging techniques in diagnosis and management, along with the latest research progress.

Abstract:
Ovarian cancer is a malignant tumor with a high incidence in women. Due to the unclear etiology and the lack of effective methods for early detection, it is mostly diagnosed in the late stage. The recurrence rate of advanced ovarian cancer is high and the survival rate is low. The main treatment modalities for advanced ovarian cancer are surgery and chemotherapy. Platinum or non-platinum chemotherapy can be classified according to the sensitivity of patients to platinum drugs, combined with anti-angiogenesis targeted drugs, and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors and immunotherapy can be considered according to genetic testing. The traditional Chinese medicine of ovarian cancer refers to "lump" and "accumulation". Director Zhou Lan believes that the cause and pathogenesis of this disease are the interformation of phlegm and blood stasis. Combining the basic methods of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis with the methods of clearing heat and detoxification, soothing the liver and promoting qi, invigorating the spleen and nourishing the blood, regulating Chong Ren, nourishing Yin and moistening dryness, the traditional Chinese medicine treatment of the complications after surgery, chemotherapy, targeting, and PARP. The survival period of patients was greatly extended, the quality of life of patients was improved, and the clinical effect was good.

Abstract:
  Objective   To investigate the medicinal concepts and compatibility principles in ancient Chinese medicine for treating gastroesophageal reflux disease, and to explore the application of toxic traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease based on ancient Chinese medicine prescriptions.   Methods   A total of 13 211 references were reviewed, and 988 prescriptions were selected, including 315 TCM flavors, with a cumulative usage frequency of 8 375. Twenty-eight drugs were used more than 80 times, with 41 drugs in total. Of these, 598 prescriptions containing toxic TCM were used, accounting for 60.53% of all prescriptions. The four qualities (Qi) are mainly warming. The five flavors (Wei) are mainly pungent. The spleen and stomach were the main channels targeted, followed by the lung, heart, and liver. the efficacy of the drugs was the highest in tonifying deficiency drugs, followed by qi-regulating drugs and warming interior drugs. According to the association rules, 5 pairs of medicines and 10 groups of corner medicines were identified, among which Chenpi, Banxia, ginger, licorice, Poria cocos, Atractylodes macrocephala, and ginseng are the core medicines in ancient texts to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease. Cluster analysis identified 6 new drug groups in prescriptions.   Conclusion   In ancient times, doctors primarily used warming and pungent medications for treating gastroesophageal reflux disease, focusing on tonifying qi, strengthening spleen, and warming the middle. Treatment targeted regulating qi, promoting qi circulation, and eliminating dampness and phlegm. In the later stages of the disease, alongside tonifying deficiency, the application of traditional Chinese medicines for attacking toxins, breaking up accumulation, and eliminating toxic tumors was emphasized.

Abstract:
  Objective   To explore the effect and safety of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) management in elderly patients with total knee arthroplasty (TKA).   Methods   Elderly patients over 70 years old who underwent TKA surgery in Tongxiang First People's Hospital from January 2018 to February 2022 were included. They were randomized to ERAS and traditional groups and received different perioperative management programs. Patient demographic data, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, blood transfusion rate, length of hospital stay, and postoperative complications were recorded. The Oxford University knee score (OKS) and knee active range of motion (ROM) were recorded before the surgery and on day 3, 1 month, and 1 year postoperatively. Comparisons between the two groups were performed using the t-test, chi-square test, or Fisher ' s exact probability method.   Results   A total of 202 elderly patients were included in this study, with 106 patients in the ERAS group and 96 patients in the traditional group. Compared with the traditional group, the intraoperative blood loss in the ERAS group was significantly lower [(151.2±9.3) mL vs. (133.7±10.5) mL, P < 0.001], and the length of hospital stay was significantly shorter [(8.8±1.3) d vs. (10.2±1.7) d, P < 0.001]. The complication rate was significantly lower [45.8% (44/96) vs. 30.2% (32/106), P=0.022], and the OKS score was higher on the 3rd day after surgery [(21.6±4.5) vs. (26.8±3.6), P < 0.05]. Activity was significantly higher on the 3rd day [(67.8±10.5)° vs. (71.8±7.0)°, P < 0.001] and 1 month [(80.7±8.3)° vs. (85.1±7.6)°, P < 0.001] after the surgery. There was no significant difference in 1-year follow-up mortality between the two groups (P>0.05).   Conclusion   For elderly TKA, ERAS can improve postoperative pain and accelerate postoperative recovery of joint function without increasing mortality.

Abstract:
Anal fistula is a common perianal disease, with surgical treatment being the only effective treatment approach. However, it is often associated with high recurrence, incontinence, and teratogenicity after surgery. The information provided by preoperative quadruple diagnosis and participation in auxiliary examinations can improve the treatment planning, guide precise surgical pathway, and improve clinical prognosis. In recent years, the multimodal approaches have advanced rapidly and are increasingly applied in medical research. This includes the diagnosis and treatment of anal fistula, where multimodal data analysis enhances objectivity. In this paper, we explores the intersection of Chinese and Western multimodal research and anal fistula, analyzing the current status and limitations of the research from two perspectives: (1) Traditional multimodal imaging, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound, with preliminary explorations of the above techniques in the preoperative, intraoperative, and prognostic assessment of anal fistula. (2) The application of four diagnostic multimodalities "looking, smelling, questioning, and feeling" in the diagnosis and treatment of anal fistula, with a review of current practices in these diagnostic techniques. By comparing the multidimensional applications of traditional and four-diagnosis multimodal data, examining the latest advancements in multimodal data in other disease areas, and comparing the multilevel integration of machine learning and deep learning techniques, we hope to expand research perspectives in the diagnosis and treatment of anal fistula. Additionally, this paper will provide references for the application of multimodal and intermodal research in clinical practice to improve the prognosis of anal fistula.

Abstract:
  Objective   To investigate the effects of one-core-multiple hospice care on cancer-induced fatigue, hope level, and depression in patients with advanced lung cancer.   Methods   From September 2021 to September 2023, 60 patients with advanced lung cancer were enrolled at the First Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University. They were randomly assigned to the observation group (n=30, receiving one-core-multiple hospice care) and the control group (n=30, receiving routine care). Cancer-induced fatigue (cancer fatigue scale, CFS), hope level (Herth hope inventory, HHI), anxiety and depression (Hamilton depression scale score, HAMD; Hamilton anxiety scale score, HAMA), meaning of life (meaning of life scale, MiLS), and quality of life (international quality of life for cancer patients, QOL-C30) were compared between the two groups before and 6 weeks after intervention.   Results   After 6 weeks of intervention, both groups showed reduced CFS, HAMD, and HAMA scores. The observation group had a significant increase in MiLS scores after intervention than before (P < 0.01). CFS in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, while MiLS was higher after 6 weeks of intervention, after adjustment for baseline values (P < 0.01). After 6 weeks of intervention, the medium to high level proportion of hope and life meaning in the observation group was 66.67% (20/30) and 53.33% (16/30), respectively. In contrast, the control group had 36.67% (11/30) for hope and 26.67% (8/30) for life meaning. The medium to high level proportion of hope and life meaning in the observation group were higher than those in the group (Z=2.237, 4.444, P=0.025, 0.035).   Conclusion   One-core-multiple hospice care for advanced lung cancer patients can reduce the level of cancer-related fatigue, anxiety and depression, while improving the level of hope, life meaning, and life quality.

Abstract:
Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is a common critical disease. The reason for VF is crucial for subsequent treatment. The common reasons for VF include acute coronary syndrome, heart failure, cardiomyopathy, and ion channel disease. This paper reports a case of VF caused by fluoroacetate poisoning. The patient, a 35-year-old man, was admitted to Peking University Third Hospital on September 21st, 2022 due to "chest tightness for 10 hours and loss of consciousness for 2 hours". After exposure to the suspected poison, the patient developed chest tightness, accompanied by slurred speech, fatigue, and subsequent sudden loss of consciousness. The electrocardiogram indicated VF, ventricular tachycardia, and ST segments elevation in some leads, elevated markers of myocardial injury. And the echocardiography showed the decline of left and right ventricular systolic function. A series of examinations indicated that the above manifestations were caused by fluoroacetate poisoning, and the patient recovered through hemofiltration and acetamide treatment. The case suggests that poisoning should be included in the differential diagnosis of the cause of VF, especially when patients have suspected exposure to toxic substances.
