Objective To identify the current research hotspots of global health training, and construct a global health talent training evaluation index system. Methods Publications pertaining to global health talent training evaluation were retrieved in China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, and Web of Science Core Collection from 2003 to 2022, and keywords were extracted from eligible publications for co-occurrence and cluster analyses using the CiteSpace software. Based on keywords clustering results, a global health talent training evaluation index system was constructed using a context, input, process, and product (CIPP) evaluation model as a theoretical framework. Results A total of 692 Chinese publications and 1 264 English publications were included. Keyword co-occurrence and cluster analyses yielded 10 Chinese and 10 English keyword clusters, and the 10 Chinese keyword clusters included analytic hierarchy process, health diplomacy, personnel structure, crossdiscipline, educational assessment, global health discipline development, training needs, curriculum program, quality evaluation and logistics support, while the English keyword clusters included evidence-based practice, capacity building, global health, quality of life, machine learning, leadership, sub-Saharan Africa, health equity, global health security and global health diplomacy. Based on keyword clustering, a global health talent training evaluation index system was constructed with CIPP as the theoretical framework, which contained 4 primary indicators, 15 secondary indicators and 59 tertiary indicators, and the primary indicators included 4 dimensions of context evaluation, input evaluation, process evaluation and product evaluation. Conclusions A global health talent training evaluation index system has been constructed, which provides an effective evaluation tool and quantitative evidence for future global health talent training.

Objective To investigate the impact of cancer-associated fibroblasts(CAFs)on immunotherapy and liver metastasis in colorectal cancer(CRC).Methods The single-cell sequencing data(GSE205506)of CRC patients with mismatch repair deficiency(MMRd)were downloaded from the gene expression omnibus database,and R software was used to preprocess the original sequencing data and establish the umap of fibroblast subpopulations,with each subpopulation named based on signature genes.GraphPad was used for the statistical analysis of the proportion of each fibroblast subpopulation,and the key subpopulations with significant differences were analyzed among CRC patients before and after PD-1 immunotherapy,as well as between the patients with pathological complete response(pCR)and those without pCR(non-pCR)after treatment.The analysis of differentially expressed genes and the gene pathway enrichment analysis were performed for the key subpopulations.The TCGA database was used to perform a prognostic and survival analysis of the signature genes of key CAF subpopulations,and RNA sequencing data were used to score and calculate the proportion of key CAF subpopulations in the primary lesions of CRC patients with liver metastasis.The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups;the Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot survival curves,and the log-rank test was used to calculate survival rates.CellPhoneDB software was used to analyze the receptor-ligand interaction between fibroblast subpopulations and tumor cells,and in vitro cell experiments were used to validate the effect of NRG1,a key ligand molecule,on the migration and invasion abilities of CRC cells.Results After PD-1 immunotherapy for CRC patients,there was a significant reduction in the proportion of F6_MMP1+CAFs(P＜0.001),which was only observed in patients achieving complete remission after immunotherapy.F6_MMP1+CAFs were upregulated,as well as the genes and signaling pathways associated with tumor migration and invasion,and in addition,there was a significant increase in F6_MMP1+CAFs in the tumor tissue of CRC patients with liver metastasis(P＜0.000 1).As a ligand,NRG1 expressed by F6_MMP1+CAFs interacted with ERBB3 receptor expressed by tumor cells,and the in vitro experiments confirmed that NRG1 promoted the migration and invasion abilities of tumor cells by activating the ERBB signaling pathway(P＜0.05).Conclusion F6_MMP1+CAFs may affect the efficacy of PD-1 immunotherapy in CRC patients and play an important role in promoting liver metastasis in CRC.F6_MMP1+CAFs,along with NRG1 that is produced by them and can promote tumor metastasis,can be used as potential therapeutic targets and prognostic markers for CRC.

Objective:To evaluate neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio(NLR) and the model for end-stage liver disease-sodium(MELD-Na)score in predicting short-term prognosis of patients with HBV-related acute-on-chronic liver failure(HBV-ACLF).Methods:A total of 234 consecutive HBV-ACLF patients(194 males and 40 females, aged 23-85 years)admitted to Hangzhou Xixi Hospital from January 2019 to December 2021 were enrolled. According to the 12-week clinical outcomes, patients were divided into good prognosis group( n=141)and poor prognosis group( n=93). Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression were performed to identify independent risk factors for poor prognosis of HBV-ACLF patients. Receiver operating characteristics(ROC)curve was applied to evaluate the accuracy of risk factors in predicting short-term prognosis of HBV-ACLF patients. Results:The age [(48.7±11.9) vs. (52.5±9.9) years old, t=-2.59, P=0.011], proportion of males [78.0%(110/141) vs. 90.3%(84/93), χ2=5.99, P=0.014], total bilirubin[202.9(141.2, 287.6) vs. 320.0(224.4, 400.0) μmol/L, Z=-5.14, P<0.001], creatinine [71.0(59.0, 78.0) vs. 81.0(64.0, 111.0)μmol/L, Z=-3.98, P<0.001], international normalized ratio[1.66(1.52, 1.86) vs. 1.91(1.66, 2.27), Z=-5.46, P<0.001], leukocyte count[5.16(3.99, 6.95)×10 9/L vs. 6.57(4.83, 8.30)×10 9/L, Z=-4.14, P=0.001], NLR[2.77(2.02, 3.55) vs. 5.48(3.44, 8.53), Z=-8.48, P<0.001], MELD score[22.0(20.0, 24.0) vs. 26.0(24.0, 29.0), Z=-9.22, P<0.001], MELD-Na score[22.8(20.0, 25.6) vs. 29.0(25.0, 36.0), Z=-9.16, P<0.001], liver cirrhosis[77.3%(109/141) vs. 88.2%(82/93), χ2=4.41, P=0.036], hepatorenal syndrome[4/141(2.8%) vs. 12/93(12.9%), χ2=8.91, P=0.003] and the proportion of artificial liver treatment[21/141(14.9%) vs. 24/93(25.8%), χ2=4.30, P=0.038] were significantly elevated in poor prognosis group compared with survival group. Logistic regression analysis showed that NLR( OR=3.76, 95 %CI: 2.10-6.74, P<0.001)and MELD-Na score( OR=2.24, 95 %CI: 1.17-4.29, P=0.015) were independent risk factors for poor short-term prognosis of HBV-ACLF patients. The area under the ROC curve(AUC)of NLR, and MELD-Na for the short-term prognosis of HBV-ACLF patients was 0.792 and 0.822, respectively. The AUC of the combination of NLR with MELD-Na was 0.858, which was significantly higher than that of NLR( Z=-3.04, P=0.001) or MELD-Na score( Z=-2.16, P=0.031)alone. Based on the cut-off value of the combined model, patients were classified into high combined model score (≥0.04) group and low combined model score (<0.04) group, the survival rate of the high group was significantly higher than that of the low group( χ2=67.47, P<0.001). Conclusions:NLR and MELD-Na score are independent risk factors of the short-term prognosis of HBV-ACLF patients. The combination of NLR and MELD-Na score will be beneficial to predict the short-term prognosis of HBV-ACLF patients.

Hyperlipidemia is a dyslipidemia caused by dyslipidemia of lipid metabolism， which can be divided into primary and secondary types. The current clinical diagnostic criteria are mainly changes in lipid levels， which are the inducers of high-risk cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis， pancreatitis and coronary heart disease. As a key target in lipid metabolism， peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α （PPARα） is involved in a variety of metabolic activities， including fatty acid degradation， synthesis， transport， storage， lipoprotein metabolism， etc. Activation of PPARα can maintain the balance of lipid metabolism through a variety of ways， which is an important way to treat hyperlipidemia. At present， chemical drugs such as statins and bettes are mainly used in the clinical treatment of hyperlipidemia. Although they can slow down the disease to a certain extent， there are many adverse reactions and drug resistance. By reviewing the literature in recent years， the author found that the activation of PPARα pathway by traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of hyperlipidemia has significant effect and small adverse reactions. The lipid-lowering active ingredients include flavonoids， alkaloids， phenols， terpenoids and other compounds. These active components mainly affect the expression of downstream effectors through the activation of PPARα pathway， thereby inhibiting the synthesis of total cholesterol and promoting fatty acid oxidation， and play a role in the treatment of hyperlipidemia. In this paper， we systematically reviewed the structure types and mechanism of active components of traditional Chinese medicine that activate PPARα pathway， so as to provide guidance for the rational development and clinical application of lipid-lowering traditional Chinese medicine new drugs.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic accuracy of serological indicators and evaluate the diagnostic value of a new established combined serological model on identifying the minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) in patients with compensated cirrhosis.Methods:This prospective multicenter study enrolled 263 compensated cirrhotic patients from 23 hospitals in 15 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities of China between October 2021 and August 2022. Clinical data and laboratory test results were collected, and the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score was calculated. Ammonia level was corrected to the upper limit of normal (AMM-ULN) by the baseline blood ammonia measurements/upper limit of the normal reference value. MHE was diagnosed by combined abnormal number connection test-A and abnormal digit symbol test as suggested by Guidelines on the management of hepatic encephalopathy in cirrhosis. The patients were randomly divided (7∶3) into training set ( n=185) and validation set ( n=78) based on caret package of R language. Logistic regression was used to establish a combined model of MHE diagnosis. The diagnostic performance was evaluated by the area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic curve, Hosmer-Lemeshow test and calibration curve. The internal verification was carried out by the Bootstrap method ( n=200). AUC comparisons were achieved using the Delong test. Results:In the training set, prevalence of MHE was 37.8% (70/185). There were statistically significant differences in AMM-ULN, albumin, platelet, alkaline phosphatase, international normalized ratio, MELD score and education between non-MHE group and MHE group (all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that AMM-ULN [odds ratio ( OR)=1.78, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 1.05-3.14, P=0.038] and MELD score ( OR=1.11, 95% CI 1.04-1.20, P=0.002) were independent risk factors for MHE, and the AUC for predicting MHE were 0.663, 0.625, respectively. Compared with the use of blood AMM-ULN and MELD score alone, the AUC of the combined model of AMM-ULN, MELD score and education exhibited better predictive performance in determining the presence of MHE was 0.755, the specificity and sensitivity was 85.2% and 55.7%, respectively. Hosmer-Lemeshow test and calibration curve showed that the model had good calibration ( P=0.733). The AUC for internal validation of the combined model for diagnosing MHE was 0.752. In the validation set, the AUC of the combined model for diagnosing MHE was 0.794, and Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed good calibration ( P=0.841). Conclusion:Use of the combined model including AMM-ULN, MELD score and education could improve the predictive efficiency of MHE among patients with compensated cirrhosis.

Objective Observation of the anti-inflammatory and detumescence effects on experimental rheumatoid arthritis(RA)rabbits by moxibustion,With lentiviral vector mediated NLRP3 overexpression in RA animal models,to investigate the effect of moxibustion on anti-CCP/RF levels in synovial fluid of RA rabbit joints and its regulation mechanism of NLRP3.Methods Randomly divided thirty Japanese big-ear white rabbits into 5 groups:group of blank,group of model,group of moxibustion,NLRP3 overexpression group and NLRP3 overexpression negative group,with 6 rabbits in each group.Both joint of the model group,and the groups with moxibustion was injected into FCA(0.5 mL·kg-1),the blank group used the same method to inject sterile saline.On the 3rd day and the 10th day after treatment,10 μL of NLRP3 overexpression lentiviral vector was injected into the joint cavity of the NLRP3 overexpression group of rabbits.The rabbits in the NLRP3 overexpression negative group were injected with the same amount of LvGFP as Contrast.moxibustion bilateral"BL23","ST 36"of the groups with moxibustion(5 cones with one point in a day.6 days for 1 course,1 day for rest,3 courses of treatment in total.)After treatment,observe the circumference of each rabbit's left and right knee joints,the content of RF,anti-CCP,IL-18 in synovial fluid was detected by ELISA.Results Compared with the blank group,the left and right knee joint circumferences in the model group increased,and the anti-CCP,RF,and IL-18 contents in the synovial fluid of the knee joint increased significantly(P<0.01);compared with the modle group,The circumference of the knee joint decreased,and the content of anti-CCP,RF and IL-18 decreased significantly(P<0.01);compared with the moxibustion group,the circumference of the left and right knee joints in the NLRP3 overexpression group increased(P<0.05),the content of anti-CCP,RF and IL-18 increased(P<0.05).Conclusions Moxibustion has anti-inflammatory effects on experimental RA rabbits.Moxibustion at Shenshu(BL23)and Zusanli(ST36)can significantly reduce the level of anti-CCP,RF the immune effector,also IL-18,the in synovial fluid of RA rabbits knee joint,yet this effect can be declined significantly under NLRP3 overexpression,suggesting that moxibustion performed its anti-inflammatory regulation by suppressing abnormal immune function in experimental RA rabbits,which may be closely related to the NLRP3 expression.

Objective To observe the effects of moxibustion on the expression of Nucleotide binding oligomeric domain like receptor thermoprotein domain associated protein 3(Nod-like receptor protein 3,NLRP3)inflammasome and Cysteine aspartate protease 12(Caspase-12)in synovial tissue of experimental Rheumatoid Arthritis(RA)rabbits,and explore the anti-inflammatory mechanism of moxibustion on RA rabbits.Methods Twenty-four Japanese big-eared white rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups according to body weight and sex:the control group,the model group and the moxibustion group.The Freund's Complete Adjuvant(FCA)was injected into the joint cavities of two knee joints of rabbits at the dose of 0.5 mL·kg-1 in the model group and the moxibustion group,and the control group was injected with the same amount of normal saline as control.For the moxibustion group,scar free moxibustion was operated at bilateral"BL 23"and"ST 36"acupoints,moxibustion for 3 times per acupoint per day,continuous treatment for 6 days,rest for 1 day,as a course of treatment,a total of 3 courses of treatment.The histological changes of synovium samples of rabbit knee joints were observed under light microscope,real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR)was used to detect the expression of NLRP3,Cysteine aspartate protease 1(Caspase-1),Caspase-12 in synovial tissues and Enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay(ELISA)was used to measure the change of Interleukin-1β(IL-1β)content in the synovial fluid of experimental animals.Results Compared with the control group,the degree of synovial lesions(inflammatory cell infiltration,synovial tissue hyperplasia,fibrous tissue hyperplasia,macrophage hyperplasia,etc.)and pathological score were increased(P<0.05),the expression of NLRP3,Caspase-1 mRNA were increased(P<0.05),the expression of Caspase-12 mRNA was significantly downregulated(P<0.01)and the expression content of IL-1β was significantly up-regulated(P<0.01)in the model group;Compared with the model group,the synovial lesion degree and pathological score were decreased(P<0.05),the expression of NLRP3,Caspase-1 mRNA were decreased(P<0.05),the expression of Caspase-12 mRNA was significantly increased(P<0.01)and the expression of IL-1β was decreased(P<0.05)in the moxibustion group.Conclusion Moxibustion can significantly inhibit the pathological process of knee synovitis in RA rabbits;Moxibustion at"Shenshu(BL 23)"and"Zusanli(ST 36)"acupoints can significantly up-regulate the expression of Caspase-12 and then inhibit the NLRP3 inflammasome,which may be one of mechanisms of moxibustion to reduce RA inflammatory response.

Objective:To compare the differences in the prevalence of mild micro-hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) among patients with cirrhosis by using the psychometric hepatic encephalopathy score (PHES) and the Stroop smartphone application (Encephal App) test.Methods:This prospective, multi-center, real-world study was initiated by the National Clinical Medical Research Center for Infectious Diseases and the Portal Hypertension Alliance and registered with International ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05140837). 354 cases of cirrhosis were enrolled in 19 hospitals across the country. PHES (including digital connection tests A and B, digital symbol tests, trajectory drawing tests, and serial management tests) and the Stroop test were conducted in all of them. PHES was differentiated using standard diagnostic criteria established by the two studies in China and South Korea. The Stroop test was evaluated based on the criteria of the research and development team. The impact of different diagnostic standards or methods on the incidence of MHE in patients with cirrhosis was analyzed. Data between groups were differentiated using the t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and χ2 test. A kappa test was used to compare the consistency between groups. Results:After PHES, the prevalence of MHE among 354 cases of cirrhosis was 78.53% and 15.25%, respectively, based on Chinese research standards and Korean research normal value standards. However, the prevalence of MHE was 56.78% based on the Stroop test, and the differences in pairwise comparisons among the three groups were statistically significant (kappa = -0.064, P < 0.001). Stratified analysis revealed that the MHE prevalence in three groups of patients with Child-Pugh classes A, B, and C was 74.14%, 83.33%, and 88.24%, respectively, according to the normal value standards of Chinese researchers, while the MHE prevalence rates in three groups of patients with Child-Pugh classes A, B, and C were 8.29%, 23.53%, and 38.24%, respectively, according to the normal value standards of Korean researchers. Furthermore, the prevalence rates of MHE in the three groups of patients with Child-Pugh grades A, B, and C were 52.68%, 58.82%, and 73.53%, respectively, according to the Stroop test standard. However, among the results of each diagnostic standard, the prevalence of MHE showed an increasing trend with an increasing Child-Pugh grade. Further comparison demonstrated that the scores obtained by the number connection test A and the number symbol test were consistent according to the normal value standards of the two studies in China and South Korea ( Z = -0.982, -1.702; P = 0.326, 0.089), while the other three sub-tests had significant differences ( P < 0.001). Conclusion:The prevalence rate of MHE in the cirrhotic population is high, but the prevalence of MHE obtained by using different diagnostic criteria or methods varies greatly. Therefore, in line with the current changes in demographics and disease spectrum, it is necessary to enroll a larger sample size of a healthy population as a control. Moreover, the establishment of more reliable diagnostic scoring criteria will serve as a basis for obtaining accurate MHE incidence and formulating diagnosis and treatment strategies in cirrhotic populations.

Objective:To investigate the epidemiological characteristics, diagnosis, treat-ment and prognosis of gallbladder cancer in China from 2010 to 2017.Methods:The single disease retrospective registration cohort study was conducted. Based on the concept of the real world study, the clinicopathological data, from multicenter retrospective clinical data database of gallbladder cancer of Chinese Research Group of Gallbladder Cancer (CRGGC), of 6 159 patients with gallbladder cancer who were admitted to 42 hospitals from January 2010 to December 2017 were collected. Observation indicators: (1) case resources; (2) age and sex distribution; (3) diagnosis; (4) surgical treatment and prognosis; (5) multimodality therapy and prognosis. The follow-up data of the 42 hospitals were collected and analyzed by the CRGGC. The main outcome indicator was the overall survival time from date of operation for surgical patients or date of diagnosis for non-surgical patients to the end of outcome event or the last follow-up. Measurement data with normal distribu-tion were represented as Mean±SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3) or M(range), and com-parison between groups was conducted using the U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Univariate analysis was performed using the Logistic forced regression model, and variables with P<0.1 in the univariate analysis were included for multivariate analysis. Multivariate analysis was performed using the Logistic stepwise regression model. The life table method was used to calculate survival rates and the Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw survival curves. Log-rank test was used for survival analysis. Results:(1) Case resources: of the 42 hospitals, there were 35 class A of tertiary hospitals and 7 class B of tertiary hospitals, 16 hospitals with high admission of gallbladder cancer and 26 hospitals with low admission of gallbladder cancer, respectively. Geographical distribution of the 42 hospitals: there were 9 hospitals in central China, 5 hospitals in northeast China, 22 hospitals in eastern China and 6 hospitals in western China. Geographical distribution of the 6 159 patients: there were 2 154 cases(34.973%) from central China, 705 cases(11.447%) from northeast China, 1 969 cases(31.969%) from eastern China and 1 331 cases(21.611%) from western China. The total average number of cases undergoing diagnosis and treatment in hospitals of the 6 159 patients was 18.3±4.5 per year, in which the average number of cases undergoing diagnosis and treatment in hospitals of 4 974 patients(80.760%) from hospitals with high admission of gallbladder cancer was 38.8±8.9 per year and the average number of cases undergoing diagnosis and treatment in hospitals of 1 185 patients(19.240%) from hospitals with low admission of gallbladder cancer was 5.7±1.9 per year. (2) Age and sex distribution: the age of 6 159 patients diagnosed as gallbladder cancer was 64(56,71) years, in which the age of 2 247 male patients(36.483%) diagnosed as gallbladder cancer was 64(58,71)years and the age of 3 912 female patients(63.517%) diagnosed as gallbladder cancer was 63(55,71)years. The sex ratio of female to male was 1.74:1. Of 6 159 patients, 3 886 cases(63.095%) were diagnosed as gallbladder cancer at 56 to 75 years old. There was a significant difference on age at diagnosis between male and female patients ( Z=-3.99, P<0.001). (3) Diagnosis: of 6 159 patients, 2 503 cases(40.640%) were initially diagnosed as gallbladder cancer and 3 656 cases(59.360%) were initially diagnosed as non-gallbladder cancer.

There was no significant difference in the overall survival between cases with postoperative adjuvant chemo-therapy and cases without post-operative adjuvant chemo-therapy ( χ2=1.50, P=0.220). Conclusions:There are more women than men with gallbladder cancer in China and more than half of patients are diagnosed at the age of 56 to 75 years. Cases undergoing ultrasound, CT, serum CA19-9 examination before initial diagnosis are independent influencing factors influencing initial diagnosis of gallbladder cancer patients. Preoperative resectability evaluation can improve the therapy strategy and patient prognosis. Adjuvant chemotherapy for gallbladder cancer is not standardized and in low proportion in China.

With in-depth research and development of dermoscopy, the dermoscopic features including perifollicular pigments, perilesional pigments, pigment network structure, satellite phenomenon and "tapioca sago" appearance, micro-Koebner phenomenon and comet tail-like phenomenon have provided a basis for the evaluation of vitiligo activity. This review summarizes progress in the evaluation of vitiligo activity with dermoscopy in recent years, aiming to promote the application of dermoscopy in the assessment of vitiligo activity.
