Article Abstract

Due to its own internal laws of development, Chinese medicine (CM) seems more inclined to empirical medicine in a relatively long historical period. It is considered to be lacking objective and unified clinical practice guidelines (CPGs), and the difficulties in diagnosis and therapeutic effect evaluation comes with it, have restricted its further inheritance, development and international communication. Over the years, our research group has been committed to improving the standardization theory and methodology of CM, also perfecting relative techniques for further application, which are all based on the stratified evidence scoring method. We have already applied this method to 45 issued guidelines, including 5 national guidelines, 3 industrial guidelines, and 37 formulation/revision social organization guidelines. The stratified evidence scoring method has been recognized and used widely. It helps scholars and applicators to study, formulate, publish and popularize the acupuncture therapy clinical practice guidelines better, thus further promotes the development of acupuncture therapy.

Purpose: To investigate how a group-based lifestyle intervention affects food choices and if the dietary patterns at the end of the intervention are associated with incidence type 2 diabetes (T2D). We also investigated if the possible associations between diet and T2D risk were modified by the genetic risk for T2D.

Methods: Participants in the T2D-GENE study were men with prediabetes aged 50-75 years, body mass index  ≥ 25 kg/m, belonging in either low or high genetic risk score (GRS) tertile for T2D.

Is the Time Right to Start Testing if Late-Onset Depression is Associated With the Development of an α-Synucleinopathy Like Parkinson's Disease? A Double Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by two neurobiological markers: pathological α-synuclein and/or a dopaminergic deficit. Depression is common in PD, and may precede motor signs, particularly in late-onset depression (LOD). We conducted two systematic reviews and a meta-analysis to examine the relationship between depression and PD development.

Deep Lateral Femoral Notch Sign is Associated with Superficial Medial Collateral Ligament Tear in Patients with Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury.

J ISAKOS

September 2025

UPMC Freddie Fu Sports Medicine Center, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, PA, USA; Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA, USA.

Objectives: The deep lateral femoral notch sign, observed in some anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, may result from valgus-compressive forces and anterior tibial translation. Since combined ACL and medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries often involve high valgus torque, we hypothesized an association between MCL tears and the presence of a deep lateral femoral notch sign.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of skeletally mature patients (≥14 years) who underwent primary ACL reconstruction (ACLR) and had preoperative MRIs within 3 weeks of injury.

Background: Wildfires significantly affect air quality in the Western United States. Although prior research has linked wildfire smoke PM to respiratory health outcomes, these studies typically have limited geographic and temporal coverage, lacking evidence from multiple states over extended periods.

Methods: We obtained data on over 6 million emergency department (ED) visits for respiratory diseases, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), upper respiratory infections (URI), and bronchitis, from five states in the Western US during 2007-2018.
