The appearance of theoretical medic ine is an inevitable result of develo pment of medicine.The development of molecular biology an d molecular immunology has laid the b asis of theoretical medicine,which studies various systems in life so as to reveal the essential laws of life phenomen a.The mystery of fracture healing wi ll be explained only from the viewpoint of theoretical medicine.The primary c allus response(PCR)is the basic event of fracture healing that is a process of numerous repetition of PCR and accum ulation of the surplus repair of PCR.The pathologic process of fracture healing shares very similar cellular and molecular mechanisms with the physiologic process of bone remodeling.This theory has been referred to as monistical theory of fracture healing.[

To discuss the advantages and disadvantages of fibular osteosynthesis and osteotomy in the treatment of tibial fractures. Medical literature was searched for articles concerning “fibular fracture”and“fibular osteotomy”on Medline to have a comprehensive idea of experiences of others. The results of others and of ours were analyzed and interpreted. Fractures of distal tibia and fibula with displaced distal tibial articular fractures were classic indications of fibular osteosynthesis, but distal tibiofibular syndesmosis and stability of ankle joint were seldom affected by the fibular fracture when tibia was fractured. It is not necessary to perform routine osteosynthesis for distal fibula fracture. Fibular osteotomy may be considered as an adjuvant procedure when atrophic nonunion or deformity union of tibia occurs. It is wise in treatment of tibial fractures not to perform fibular osteosynthesis or osteotomy whenever possible.

The treatment of total avulsion of the hand is somewhat difficult and the result usually not satisfactory. Four cases of such patients were treated from 1983 to 1987. After routine debridement, digital nerves and its surrounding adipose tissue were preserved. An "S" shape skin flap was designed an raised in the contralateral upper abdominal quadrant to cover the injured hand like a bag, so that both sides of the hand were covered. The donor area (12cm2) was directly sutured. Nerve endings might grow into the flaps because of the preservation of digital nerves. Three patients were followed-up for 2 to 6 years, the injured hands regained good pain sensation as well as stereognostic and temperatuer sensations. The function of the hand is satisfactory, but the flap looked bulky and multiple plastic operations were necessary to seperate the fingers.

Objective:To evaluate the implementation of national continuing medical education (CME) base programme about infectious disease control and prevention during 2013-2020, so as to improve the quality management of CME.Methods:According to data from national CME system, Excel and SPSS 27.0 were used to analyze project hosting days, places, teachers, students, project directors and training effect. The counting data were expressed by frequency and percentage [cases (%)], chi-square test was used to make comparison between groups, Mantel-Haenszel chi-square test was used for trend test, and the significance test level of the difference was α = 0.05. Results:A total of 116 projects were conducted from 2013 to 2020, with execution rate of 87.9%(116/132). Most hosting days were 2 to 3 days [57.8% (67/116)]. The majority [65.2% (5 785/8 871)] of trainees had junior and intermediate technical titles. As for trainers, trainers with senior technical titles accounted for 87.6% (758/865), and those with intermediate titles accounted for 12.4% (107/865). Mantel-Haenszel chi-square test showed that there was a linear relationship between the proportion of technical titles and the year ( χ2趋势 = 4.97, P趋势 = 0.026). Project directors almost had senior professional title, and nearly one third of them had the experience of undertaking three or more base projects within 8 years. The top three training modules were parasitic diseases prevention and control, AIDS prevention and control, and viral diseases prevention and control. Trainees were highly satisfied with the training contents. Conclusion:The implementation of the infectious disease prevention and control base programme went well in general from 2013 to 2020. In the future, it’s needed to be demand-oriented, rationally design training programs, enhance the evaluation of training effects, strengthen the construction of public health core capacity, and adopt a strategy of brand development in the process of the infectious disease prevention and control base programme.

Objective:To investigate the changes of serum miR-33 in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and analyze the relationship between miR-33 and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods:From July 2019 to January 2020, 25 healthy subjects (control group), 25 NAFLD patients (NAFLD group), 25 T2DM patients hospitalized in the department of endocrinology (T2DM group) and 25 T2DM patients with NAFLD (NAFLD combined with T2DM group) were selected. The basic data of the subjects were collected, and the levels of miR-33 and other biochemical indexes in the serum of the four groups were detected. The risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease were analyzed.Results:There was no significant difference between T2DM group and T2DM group with NAFLD in course of disease, medication history and incidence of complications ( P<0.05). The levels of serum miR-33 in T2DM group, NAFLD group and T2DM combined with NAFLD group were higher than those in healthy people, and the level of serum miR-33 in the combined group was the highest ( P<0.05). The differences in systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol (TC), fasting blood glucose (FPG), glycosylated hemoglobin, triglycerides (HbA1c), triglycerides (TG), high density lipoprotein (HDL-C), uric acid (UA), serum creatinine (Scr), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in the four groups were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The level of miR-33 was positively correlated with systolic blood pressure, FPG, HbA1c, TG, UA and GGT ( P<0.05), and negatively correlated with the level of HDL-C ( P<0.05). MiR-33, systolic blood pressure and FPG increased the risk of NAFLD in T2DM patients ( OR=8.999, 1.083, 2.071, P<0.05). Conclusions:Serum miR-33 is the influencing factor of T2DM and NAFLD diseases and the risk factor of T2DM patients with NAFLD. It may affect the occurrence and development of metabolic diseases by participating in the regulation of glycolipid metabolism.

Objective:To understand the attitudes and cognition of disease control and prevention professionals at provincial level on public health physician standardized training and provide evidence for the improvement of the standardized training and exploration of more effective training mode in China.Methods:By cluster sampling, 2 193 professionals at provincial centers for disease control and prevention (CDC) in 6 provinces, including Jiangsu and Guangdong, Shanxi and Hubei,Sichuan and Xinjiang were selected as the study subjects, the sample size was estimated to be 1 933 persons.Results:A total of 1 716 provincial-level CDC professionals were surveyed, the support rate to the standardized training was 70.7%(1 213/1 716). The level of support was negatively associated with the educational level of professionals and their specialty of public health and preventive medicine. Of 875 public health and preventive medicine professionals, 61.6%(318/516) of those with master's degree or above supported the standard training for public health physicians, which was lower than 73.1%(225/308) of those with bachelor's degree and 86.3%(44/51) of those with college degree or below. There were 14.9%(232/1 555) of the respondents suggested a two year training, and 60.4%(933/1 544) suggesting a field training mode. In terms of training content, 86.6%(1 355/1 564) suggesting "epidemiological survey and public health practice", and 76.7%(1 199/1 564) suggesting "basic theories and methodology".Conclusions:In general, the professionals of provincial CDC showed a relatively low interest in the standardized training for public health physicians and failed to reach a consensus. Besides, they were ill-informed about current training duration, method and content. Thas, the professionals at provincial CDC are suggested to be the key target-population whom should be mobilized during the training pilot period, especially the highly educated ones with relevant specialties of public health. It is suggested that public health physician standardized training should to be implemented in whole CDC system to reach full consensus based on its practical achievements and effects. It is also suggested to establish public health graduate medical education system in China.

Under the background that the national health has become the national priority development strategy, it is essential to speed up public health ability among talents. Based on the consulting project of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, "Research on the training strategy of medical and health personnel in China", this paper analyzes the current situation and existing problems of public health personnel training in disease control and prevention institutions. Based on three stages of public health education, this paper puts forward that the public health personnel training should first solve the problem of public health personnel team construction and create programs on college education-post graduate education-continuing education. Through the personnel training system, different training modes are designed for other groups of people to improve the ability of public health personnel in an all-around way.

BACKGROUND:Zinc-based alloy medical implant materials have excellent mechanical properties,complete degradability and good biocompatibility,and are mainly used in orthopedic implants,cardiovascular stents,bile duct stents,tracheal stents,nerve catheters,etc. OBJECTIVE:To review the research progress of biodegradable zinc-based alloys in bone defect repair and prospect the promising research direction and achievements of zinc-based materials. METHODS:After searching PubMed,Web of Science,WanFang Data,and CNKI databases from the establishment of the database to June 2023,various relevant articles on biodegradable zinc-based alloys for bone implant material research were collected.The basic characteristics of biodegradable zinc based alloys were summarized,and the role of zinc-based alloys in promoting bone tissue repair was sorted and summarized.The current research hotspots and shortcomings were discussed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Zinc-based alloys have good biocompatibility.Using zinc-based alloys as the matrix material,with the help of scaffold structure construction technology and coating optimization process,the bone conductivity of zinc-based alloys will be effectively improved,and their degradation products will have efficient bone induction to regulate the gene expression of osteoblasts and osteoclasts,thereby promoting the repair and reconstruction of bone defects.(2)However,in the research on optimizing zinc-based alloys,the coating process is relatively insufficient,and additive loading technology is still lacking.(3)Zinc-based alloys have excellent mechanical and biological properties.Through special processes,their bone conductivity and osteoinductivity can be increased to effectively improve their ability to promote bone repair and reconstruction,and it is expected to further achieve the development of personalized transplant materials.Further research and development are needed to optimize the integration of coating and additive loading technologies into zinc-based alloys.

Objective To investigate whether activation of mitochondrial acetal dehydrogenase 2(ALDH2)alleviates hypoxic pulmonary hypertension by regulating the SIRT1/PGC-1α signaling pathway.Methods Thirty 8-week-old C57 BL/6 mice were randomized into control,hypoxia,and hypoxia+Alda-1(an ALDH2 activator)group(n=10),and the mice in the latter two groups,along with 10 ALDH2 knockout(ALDH2-/-)mice,were exposed to hypoxia(10%O2,90%N2)with or without daily intraperitoneal injection of Alda-1 for 4 weeks.The changes in right ventricular function and pressure(RVSP)of the mice were evaluated by echocardiography and right ventricular catheter test,and pulmonary artery pressure was estimated based on RVSP.Pulmonary vascular remodeling,right ventricular injury,myocardial α-SMA expression,distal pulmonary arteriole muscle normalization,right ventricular cross-sectional area,myocardial cell hypertrophy,and right cardiac hypertrophy index were assessed with HE staining,immunofluorescence staining and WGA staining,and the expressions of ALDH2,SIRT1,PGC-1α,P16INK4A and P21CIP1 were detected.In pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells with hypoxic exposure,the effect of Alda-1 and EX527 on cell senescence and protein expressions was evaluated using β-galactose staining and Western blotting.Results The wild-type mice with hypoxic exposure showed significantly increased RVSP,right ventricular free wall thickness and myocardial expressions of P16INK4A and P21CIP1,which were effectively lowered by treatment with Alda-1 but further increased in ALDH2-/-mice.In cultured pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells,hypoxic exposure significantly increased senescent cell percentage and cellular expressions of P16INK4A and P21CIP1,which were all lowered by treatment with Alda-1,but its effect was obviously attenuated by EX527 treatment.Conclusion ALDH2 alleviates hypoxia-induced senescence of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells by upregulating the SIRT1/PGC-1α signaling pathway to alleviate pulmonary hypertension in mice.
