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.

Background Multimorbidity imposes a heavy burden on individuals, families, and society. There are relatively few studies exploring patterns of multimorbidity among middle-aged adults in China. Objective To explore the current status of multimorbidity, associated risk factors, and multimorbidity patterns among adults aged 45-64 years in China, so as to provide a scientific basis to prevent and control multimorbidity in China. Methods A total of 5494 adults aged 45-64 years from the Chinese Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) in 2018 were selected. Of these, 2494 (45.39%) were men and 3000 (54.61%) were women. The nine diseases included were hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidaemia, obesity, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), myocardial infarction, stroke, asthma, and tumor. The prevalence of each disease or multimorbidity was expressed as N (%). Comparisons of multimorbidity prevalence between different groups were performed using the χ² test or Cochran-Armitage trend test. Association rule with the Apriori algorithm was used to explore the pattern of multimorbidity, with parameters set at a minimum conditional support of 3.00%, a minimum rule confidence of 50.00%, and a lift of >1.20. Logistic regression was used to evaluate the associations between selected risk factors and multimorbidity. Results In 2018, 37.44% of participants reported multimorbidity in 15 provinces of China. The prevalence of diseases in descending order was dyslipidaemia (39.99%), hypertension (39.48%), obesity (16.42%), MCI (14.47%), diabetes (14.16%), tumor (1.09%), stroke (1.04%), myocardial infarction (0.71%), and asthma (0.64%). A total of seven multimorbidity patterns were identified in this group. Obesity paired with hypertension, and diabetes paired with dyslipidemia were the two major patterns of multimorbidity in the general population and age or sex subgroups. The multimorbidity patterns of different populations were concentrated in the combination of obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. The risk of multimorbidity was lower in females than in males (OR=0.85, 95%CI: 0.75, 0.97). The multimorbidity risk was 1.56 times higher in the 55-64 years group than in the 45-54 years group (OR=1.56, 95%CI: 1.40, 1.75). Drinking in the past year increased the risk of multimorbidity by 25% (OR=1.25, 95%CI: 1.08, 1.45) compared to no alcohol comsumption in the past year. High and medium levels of physical activity were associated with a decreased OR (high: OR=0.74, 95%CI: 0.65, 0.85; medium: OR=0.81, 95%CI: 0.70, 0.93) with low level of physical activity as reference. Conclusion In 2018, there was a high prevalence rate of multimorbidity among middle-aged adults in China. The main multimorbidity patterns were obesity-hypertension and diabetes-dyslipidemia. Surveillance and interventions should be strengthened particularly for men, individuals with alcohol consumption or insufficient physical activity, and those with major multimorbidity patterns.

Objective: To explore the anatomy of expended facial artery perforator flaps with cervical small perforators and its clinical application for extensive facial defects with this flap. Methods: Necks of fresh cadavers were dissected for studying the anatomy basis of expended facial artery perforator flaps with cervical small perforators. Based on the anatomy, two-stage operation was performed. In the first stage, expander was embedded above the platysma and the pedicle, cervical small facial artery perforator was reserved. In the second stage, the expended perforator flap was transferred as propeller flap, advanced flap or tunnel flap to reconstruct extensive facial defects. Results: Cadavers dissection revealed 3 or 4 perforators were derived from facial artery when it crossed marginal mandibular and vertically penetrated platysma to the superficial fascia layer to supply cervical skin. In clinic, all flaps presented with satisfactory functional and aesthetic outcomes. Conclusions This design of expended facial artery perforator flaps with cervical small perforators provide an excellent method for reconstruction of extensive facial defects.

Objective: To investigate the clinical outcome of modified peeling method by divisional design in labia minora reduction in the treatment of labial hypertrophy. Methods: From Feb 2015 to Oct 2017, 32 nympha hypertrophy patients underwent labia minora reduction by the modified peeling method with divisional design. The labia minora area was divided into medial and lateral divisions, from which the dermis and subcutaneous tissue were removed asymmetrically. Results: The patients were followed up 1 to 6 months postoperatively. All incisions healed with excellent blood circulation of labia minora, except for 1 case with V-shaped dehiscence. All of the patients were satisfied with the eventual aesthetic appearance and the functional improvement. Conclusions The modified peeling method by divisional design in labia minora reduction is a safe and effective method with many advantages, such as nature contour, wide range of indications, fewer complications, and high satisfaction.

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 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.

Objective To analyze the epidemic status of principal human parasites, so as to provide scientific evidence for making prevention countermeasures for Guangdong Province in the future. Methods In 2015, a survey was performed according to the scheme of "The 3rd National Survey of Principal Human Parasites"as well as the incidence of parasites disease in Guangdong Province,the residents at 48 investiation sites in counties were surveyed. The survey of the soil-transmitted nematodes (Ascariasis, Ancylostoma, Trichuris trichiura and Enterobius vermicularis) and intestinal protozoa were performed based on the ecological regions and stratified by economic and geographic situation.The survey of food borne Clonorchis sinensis was performed along with the soil-transmitted nematodes in rural areas, and it was performed by the sample method of random cluster in cities and towns.The residents in each investigation site as the object, the ovum of the soil-transmitted nematodes, Clonorchis sinensis and other helminths were examed by the modified Kato-Katz method, test tube filter paper was used to identify Hookwormspecies, and the intestinal protozoa was checked by direct smear method. The transparent tape anal swabs method for children aged 3 - 6 years to check Enterobius vermicularis. Results Totally 12 401 residents of 48 survey sites from 22 counties were surveyed, and the total infection rate of intestinal parasites was 8.29%(1 028/12 401). The infection rate of soil-transmitted nematodes was 3.39% (420/12 401),in which the infection rate of Ascariasis, Ancylostoma, Trichuris trichiura and Enterobius vermicularis were 0.52% (64/12 401), 1.89%(234/12 401),0.46%(57/12 401),and 0.52%(65/12 401),respectively.The infection rate of Clonorchis sinensis was 4.90%(608/12 401). Nine hundred and sixty-seven children were tested for eggs of Enterobius vermicularis with the infection rate of 12.41% (120/967). The number of hook larva culture was 153, among them, 140 were hookworm larvae of America and no duodenal hookworm larvae and other nematode species were found.Totally 9 309 residents were tested for intestinal protozoa infection,and the infection rate was 0.31%(29/9 309). Conclusion In Guangdong Province, the infection rate of soil-transmitted nematodes is decreasing while the infection rate of Clonorchis sinensis is still high, and the control work of parasites still should be strengthened especially for food borne parasitic diseases.

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.

Objective:Analyze the mediating and moderating effects of the relationship between food intake and blood glucose levels.Methods:This study uses data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey project in the survey 2018, involving 11 043 adults aged 18 years or older, who have complete dietary data, waist circumference (WC), glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) indicators, and other key variables. Food consumption data was gathered via three consecutive 24-hour dietary recalls and weighing accounting method, which included two weekdays and one weekend day. The average daily intake of various foods and total energy intake were calculated. The mediation effect and moderation effect analysis were conducted using simple mediation models, direct moderation effect models, and moderated mediation analysis theoretical models. The confidence interval method (bootstrap method) was performed for testing and analysis.Results:A total of 4 951 males and 6 092 females were included in the stratified analysis by gender. The mediating effects on the rice, wheat, and red meat→WC→HbA1c were all statistically significant in males. The standardized coefficients were -0.009 ( P<0.001), 0.013 ( P<0.001), and -0.005 ( P=0.008), respectively. In females, the mediating effect on the wheat→WC→HbA1c was statistically significant, and the standardized coefficient was 0.017 ( P<0.001); the impact of red meat intake on HbA1c is negatively regulated by the intake of dark vegetables, with a direct moderating effect; the standardized coefficient of the interaction term between red meat and dark vegetables was -0.024 ( P=0.008). Dark vegetables have a moderated mediator on the pathway from rice to WC and HbA1c ( a3b1=-0.003, P=0.041) in males. The mediating effect of WC is negatively regulated by the intake of dark vegetables (mediation effect difference U1/-1=-0.006, P=0.048). Dark vegetables showed a moderated mediator on the pathway from wheat to WC and HbA1c ( a3b1=-0.004, P=0.045) in females. The mediating effect of WC is negatively regulated by the intake of dark vegetables (mediation effect difference U1/-1=-0.009, P=0.049). Conclusions:Changes in WC indicators caused by rice, wheat, and red meat intake. WC could mediate between rice, wheat, red meat, and HbA1c. Dark vegetables directly or indirectly regulate HbA1c levels by interacting with rice, wheat, and red meat.
