Objective To observe the rate of iris vessels exposure and analyze its relevant factors in normal full-term neonates.Methods A retrospective study.1855 normal full term neonates,including 947 boys and 908 girls,were enrolled.The mean gestational age (GA) was (38.84±1.10) weeks and mean birth weight (BW) was (3 396.52±402.08) g.There were 1235 neonates from normal term vaginal delivery,402 cases of cesarean delivery and 218 cases of forceps delivery.All neonates were examined with hand-held portable slit lamp biomicroscopy within 1 to 3 days after birth by two trained ophthalmologist respectively.Iris vessels exposure was defined as radial red blood vessels along iris fibers.Infants were divided into iris vessels exposure group and iris vessels unexposed group according to the findings of slit lamp biomicroscopy.78 infants with iris vessels exposure were followed up for 42 days after birth till the iris vessels can't be seen under microscope.The differences between the two groups were compared for gender,mode of delivery (MOD),GA,BW and body length (BL).Multiple logistic regressions were used to determine the factors related to iris vessels exposure.Results There were 298 neonates with iris vessels exposure among 1855 neonates and the rate was 16.1%.1557 neonates (83.9%) had unexposed iris vessels.There were no different in gender (x2=0.551) and MOD (x2=3.036) between iris vessels exposure group and unexposed group (P>0.05),while the differences in GA (x2=47.216),BW (t=4.603) and BL (t=3.936) between the two groups were statistically significant (P=0.000).Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that only GA (β=-0.291,odds ratio=0.747,95% confidence interval:0.656-0.85 1,P=0.000) was correlated to iris vessels exposure significantly.The iris vessels couldn't be seen in 77 of 78 infants with iris vessels exposure when followed up to 42 days.Conclusions The iris vessels exposure in normal full-term neonates is frequently observed.There is a significant inverse correlation between GA and iris vessels exposure.

Background::Gestational weight gain (GWG) is associated with the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). However, the effect of weight gain in different trimesters on the risk of GDM is unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of GWG on GDM during different trimesters.Methods::A birth cohort study was conducted from 2017 to 2020 in Shenzhen, China. In total, 51,205 participants were included comprising two models (early pregnancy model and middle pregnancy model). Gestational weight (kg) was measured at each prenatal clinical visit using a standardized weight scale. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the risk of GDM. Interaction analysis and mediation effect analysis were performed in the middle pregnancy model.Results::In the early pregnancy model, the risk of GDM was 0.858 times lower (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.786, 0.937) with insufficient GWG (iGWG) and 1.201 times higher (95% CI: 1.097, 1.316) with excessive GWG after adjustment. In the middle pregnancy model, the risk of GDM associated with iGWG increased 1.595 times (95% CI: 1.418, 1.794) after adjustment; for excessive GWG, no significant difference was found ( P = 0.223). Interaction analysis showed no interaction between GWG in early pregnancy (GWG-E) and GWG in middle pregnancy (GWG-M) ( F = 1.268; P = 0.280). The mediation effect analysis indicated that GWG-M plays a partial mediating role, with an effect proportion of 14.9%. Conclusions::eGWG-E and iGWG-M are associated with an increased risk of GDM. Strict control of weight gain in early pregnancy is needed, and sufficient nutrition should be provided in middle pregnancy.

Healthy lifestyles and good living habits are effective strategies and important approaches to prevent chronic non-communicable diseases. With the development of evidence-based medicine, the evidence translation system has made some achievements in clinical practice. There is, however, no comprehensive, professional and efficient system for translating lifestyle evidence globally. Therefore, the Health Lifestyle Evidence (HLSE) Group of Lanzhou University constructed the HLSE Evidence Translation System (

Objective To establish a county-level trauma treatment model,designed to prioritize efficiency and guided by a multidisciplinary approach for emergency green channels.Methods Adhering to the Consensus of Experts on the Construc-tion and Management of Trauma Centers in Municipal Comprehensive Hospitals(2020),and using the trauma center creation plan from Guangdong Province as a reference,we established a county-level trauma center,leveraging its strengths and unique at-tributes,with the emergency department as its core.Results The application of information technology facilitated the establish-ment of a two-way referral information platform and a three-tiered diagnosis and treatment system for county medical communities,thereby enhancing the efficiency and quality of healthcare.The implementation of the emergency green channel multidisciplinary treatment team model significantly improved the admission rates for complex and critical cases and increased the utilization of new technologies.Conclusion The development of a county-level emergency treatment system,spearheaded by the establishment of a provincial-level trauma center and a multidisciplinary team model for emergency green channels,can expedite trauma patient care,augment diagnostic efficiency and treatment efficacy,and catalyze advancements in medical technology within county hospitals.

Objective:
To observe the clinical effects of auricular point therapy on burning mouth syndrome (BMS) and its effect on the psychological state of patients and plasma β-endorphin.
Methods :
A total of 105 patients diagnosed with BMS were randomly divided into an auricular acupoint application group (50 cases) and a drug treatment group (55 cases). The treatment course lasted one month. The patients in the auricular acupoint application group selected 3 points on their tongue, heart and Shenmen through traditional Chinese medical dialectics used for patients with BMS. Wangbuliu seeds were applied, two ears were pressed alternately and one ear was applied each time. The patient was instructed to press the treatment site three times a day, 1-2 min each time, until the auricle skin became reddish and hot. The patients in the drug treatment group took vitamin E 100 mg+oryzanol 10 mg+vitamin B2 10 mg orally three times a day. Before and after treatment, the pain intensity and mental and psychological state of the patients were evaluated. The patient's plasma was detected before and after β-endorphin treatment.
Results:
The pain sensation intensity of the two groups decreased after treatment (P<0.001). After treatment, the scores of somatization (t = 2.118, P = 0.037), fear (t = 2.084, P = 0.039) and diet and sleep (t = 2.047, P = 0.043) in the auricular acupoint application group were significantly improved compared with the level before treatment. The level of β-endorphin in plasma was increased, and the difference was statistically significant (t = 2.247, P = 0.027) in the auricular acupoint application group after treatment.
Conclusion
Auricular point therapy is an effective method for patients with BMS, improving psychological state and promoting the synthesis of plasma β-endorphin may be one of its mechanisms.
