Based on Professor YANG Zhen's theory of "qi dynamics of ministerial fire"， this paper systematically elucidates the pathogenesis of jueyin （厥阴） disease and the clinical rationale for applying Wumei Pill （乌梅丸）. Jueyin disease is characterized by dysfunction of the middle earth in regulating qi dynamics and disruption of the pivot mechanism， leading to an upward disturbance of ministerial fire and an underlying pattern of deficiency-cold of true yang， thereby forming a state of cold and heat in complexity. Wumei Pill fully exerts the synergistic effects of sour-astringency， bitter-descending， and acrid-warm medicinals， reflecting the therapeutic principle of regulating the pivot mechanism and restraining the upward rebellion of ministerial fire， with the aim of returning fire to its source and restoring the circulation of qi. Based on the four-dimensional pathological evolution of Jueyin disease， namely disorder of pivot qi harmonization， failure of ying （营）-blood nourishment and containment， loss of yin sustenance and balance， and instabi-lity of ministerial fire， the paper systematically reveals the underlying logic of Wumei Pill in treating different diseases with the same therapeutic principle. In addition， a clinical case of hemoptysis treated with modified Wumei Pill is presented， providing insights into its formulation principles and expanding its application in complex and refractory multi-system diseases.

BACKGROUND:The immune cell composition and functional states within the tumor microenvironment of epithelial ovarian cancer directly influence patient prognosis and therapeutic response.Recent studies indicate that CD4+T cells not only support anti-tumor immunity but can also exert direct anti-tumor effects under specific conditions.High infiltration of CD8+T cells is considered a positive prognostic marker.FOXP3+regulatory T cells play a crucial role in maintaining immune tolerance and modulating immune responses.OBJECTIVE:The data from 416 epithelial ovarian cancer patients along with clinical pathology samples from 21 patients were comprehensively analyzed utilizing bioinformatics algorithms to investigate the relationship between the expression of CD4+T cells,CD8+T cells,and FOXP3+T cells in the tumor microenvironment and survival outcomes in ovarian cancer patients.METHODS:(1)The study categorized 416 cases of epithelial ovarian cancer from the Ovarian Cancer subset of The Cancer Genome Atlas using the Non-negative Matrix Factorization algorithm.The CIBERSORT algorithm(Cell-type Identification By Estimating Relative Subsets Of RNA Transcripts)was employed to examine differences in immune cell infiltration between patients with high and low survival rates.(2)Multiplex immunohistochemistry was used to assess the expression of CD4,CD8,and FOXP3 in pathological tissue samples from 21 patients from Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital,and their association with patient prognosis was analyzed.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The high survival rate group exhibited significantly greater infiltration of immune cells,including CD4+T cells,CD8+T cells,and FOXP3+regulatory T cells,compared with the low survival rate group(P＜0.01).Results from the multiplex immunohistochemistry experiments revealed that high expression of FOXP3 was significantly correlated with better prognosis in ovarian cancer patients(P＜0.05).It is indicated that the expression of FOXP3 in the tumor microenvironment is associated with survival outcomes in epithelial ovarian cancer patients,suggesting that the infiltration of FOXP3+regulatory T cells in the tumor microenvironment is a key factor influencing patient prognosis.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of cases involving monkey injuries at medical institutions surrounding Qianlingshan Park in Guiyang City, and to provide a reference basis for preventive measures to reduce monkey injuries and standardized post-exposure treatment.Methods:A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted, collecting 1 900 cases of monkey-induced injuries in Qianlingshan Park treated at the outpatient clinic of Guizhou Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the Department of Surgery at Qianling Hospital, Guiyang City, from 2021 to 2024. Statistical analysis was performed using Pearson′s chi-square test.Results:Total of 1 900 cases of monkey-related injuries in Qianlingshan Park were collected from 2021 to 2024. The exposure time distribution exhibited significant seasonality, with 48.58% of cases occurring during July and August, totaling 923 cases, indicating a peak in the summer. There were 774 male patients and 1 126 female patients, with a ratio of 1∶1.45.and significant differences were observed between different age groups and genders (χ2=195.00, P<0.001), with the highest number of cases occurring in the 0-9 and 20-29 age groups, accounting for 22.05%(419 cases) and 21.79%(414 cases), respectively. The upper limbs were the most common injury site, accounting for 50.84% of the total cases(966 cases in total), with significant differences between gender and injury location (χ2=22.00, P<0.001), Among females, the proportion of injuries to the upper and lower limbs (30.11% and 16.47%, respectively) was higher than that among males (20.74% and 8.63%, respectively). The majority of injuries were classified as Grade Ⅲ, making up 57.38% of cases(1 069 cases in total). Self-treatment after exposure was the most common approach(60.44%), with significant differences observed between wound severity and treatment method (χ2=6.90, P=0.032), Patients with Grade Ⅱ and Grade Ⅲ wounds were more likely to choose self-management (26.84% and 33.23%, respectively) than outpatient management (15.14% and 24.15%). Approximately 98.05% (1 863 cases) of monkey-injured patients had received rabies vaccinations. Conclusions:This study analyzes monkey-related injuries in Qianlingshan Park from 2021 to 2024, clarifying the temporal distribution of injuries, demographic characteristics, injury sites, and treatment methods. The findings provide references for optimizing human-monkey conflict management and the prevention and control of zoonotic diseases in urban ecological parks.

Objective:To examine the effects of an improved mindfulness-based intervention program(IMIP)on depression,anxiety,psychological resilience,and marital quality among perinatal women.Methods:We enrolled 120 perinatal women receiving care at the obstetrics departments of Pudong Hospital and Nanhui Maternity and Child Health Hospital from December 2022 to August 2024.They were randomly assigned to either routine care group or IMIP group.The routine care group received standard prenatal care,while the IMIP group received,in addition to routine care,an eight-week course of IMIP intervention,administered once a week.Outcome mea-sures included the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale(EPDS),Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale(HADS),Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale(CD-RISC),and ENRICH Marital Satisfaction Scale,assessed at six time points—before intervention,after interven-tion(at 35 weeks of gestation),and at 3 days,42 days,3 months,and 6 months postpartum.A repeated measures ANOVA was con-ducted,with the score changes(Δ values)at individual time points from baseline as the dependent variable.Results:The IMIP group showed significantly greater improvements than the routine care group in EPDS,HADS-anxiety,CD-RISC,and ENRICH scores,with the main effects of group and time and their interaction effect all being significant(all P<0.001).For HADS-depression,the group×time interaction was not significant,but the main effect of group was significant(P<0.001).CD-RISC and ENRICH scores in-creased with time in the IMIP group.Conclusion:IMIP effectively alleviates depressive and anxiety symptoms,enhances psychological resilience,and improves marital quality for perinatal women,showing strong potential for clinical application.

Apical microsurgery is accurate and minimally invasive, produces few complications, and has a success rate of more than 90%. However, due to the lack of awareness and understanding of apical microsurgery by dental general practitioners and even endodontists, many clinical problems remain to be overcome. The consensus has gathered well-known domestic experts to hold a series of special discussions and reached the consensus. This document specifies the indications, contraindications, preoperative preparations, operational procedures, complication prevention measures, and efficacy evaluation of apical microsurgery and is applicable to dentists who perform apical microsurgery after systematic training.

Pulpotomy, which belongs to vital pulp therapy, has become a strategy for managing pulpitis in recent decades. This minimally invasive treatment reflects the recognition of preserving healthy dental pulp and optimizing long-term patient-centered outcomes. Pulpotomy is categorized into partial pulpotomy (PP), the removal of a partial segment of the coronal pulp tissue, and full pulpotomy (FP), the removal of whole coronal pulp, which is followed by applying the biomaterials onto the remaining pulp tissue and ultimately restoring the tooth. Procedural decisions for the amount of pulp tissue removal or retention depend on the diagnostic of pulp vitality, the overall treatment plan, the patient's general health status, and pulp inflammation reassessment during operation. This statement represents the consensus of an expert committee convened by the Society of Cariology and Endodontics, Chinese Stomatological Association. It addresses the current evidence to support the application of pulpotomy as a potential alternative to root canal treatment (RCT) on mature permanent teeth with pulpitis from a biological basis, the development of capping biomaterial, and the diagnostic considerations to evidence-based medicine. This expert statement intends to provide a clinical protocol of pulpotomy, which facilitates practitioners in choosing the optimal procedure and increasing their confidence in this rapidly evolving field.

Intentional tooth replantation (ITR) is an advanced treatment modality and the procedure of last resort for preserving teeth with inaccessible endodontic or resorptive lesions. ITR is defined as the deliberate extraction of a tooth; evaluation of the root surface, endodontic manipulation, and repair; and placement of the tooth back into its original socket. Case reports, case series, cohort studies, and randomized controlled trials have demonstrated the efficacy of ITR in the retention of natural teeth that are untreatable or difficult to manage with root canal treatment or endodontic microsurgery. However, variations in clinical protocols for ITR exist due to the empirical nature of the original protocols and rapid advancements in the field of oral biology and dental materials. This heterogeneity in protocols may cause confusion among dental practitioners; therefore, guidelines and considerations for ITR should be explicated. This expert consensus discusses the biological foundation of ITR, the available clinical protocols and current status of ITR in treating teeth with refractory apical periodontitis or anatomical aberration, and the main complications of this treatment, aiming to refine the clinical management of ITR in accordance with the progress of basic research and clinical studies; the findings suggest that ITR may become a more consistent evidence-based option in dental treatment.
