Continuous fiber reinforced high-performance thermoplastic composites have gradually attracted the attention of the composite industries due to their unique advantages such as light mass, high strength, good impact resistance, short molding cycle, secondary molding and waste recycling. The application status of continuous fiber reinforced high-performance thermoplastic composites was introduced in this paper starting from several kinds of high-performance thermoplastic resins. Moreover, the forming and properties of continuous fiber reinforced high-performance thermoplastic composites were also summarized in detail. At last, the future development trend of domestic continuous fiber reinforced high-performance thermoplastic composites was summarized from three aspects including application demand, molding process and material properties, in order to promote the structural design and application of continuous fiber reinforced high-performance thermoplastic composites.

This meta‐analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in enhancing surgical site wound healing following colorectal surgery. We systematically reviewed and analysed randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that investigated the outcomes of TCM interventions in postoperative wound management, adhering to the PRISMA guidelines. The primary outcome was the assessment of wound healing through the REEDA (redness, oedema, ecchymosis, discharge and approximation) scale at two different time points: the 10th day and 1‐month post‐surgery. Seven RCTs involving 1884 patients were included. The meta‐analysis revealed a statistically significant improvement in wound healing in the TCM‐treated groups compared to the control groups at both time intervals. On the 10th day post‐surgery, the TCM groups exhibited a significant reduction in REEDA scale scores (I2 = 98%; random: SMD: −2.25, 95% CI: −3.52 to −0.98, p < 0.01). A similar trend was observed 1‐month post‐surgery, with the TCM groups showing a substantial decrease in REEDA scale scores (I2 = 98%; random: SMD: ‐3.39, 95% CI: −4.77 to −2.01, p < 0.01). Despite the promising results, the majority of the included studies were of suboptimal quality, indicating a need for further high‐quality RCTs to substantiate the findings. The results suggest that TCM interventions can potentially enhance wound healing post‐colorectal surgery, paving the way for further research in this area to validate the efficacy of TCM in postoperative management.
