To summarize Professor GAO Shuzhong's clinical experience in treating idiopathic tinnitus with a combination of acupuncture and Chinese meteria medica. It is believed that idiopathic tinnitus is mostly caused by weak lungs and spleen， kidney essence deficiency， liver constraint transforming into fire， and binding constraint of heart qi. Treatment advocates the combination of acupuncture and Chinese meteria medica in clinical practice. Acupuncture treatment mainly focus on the method of opening the orifices by syndrome identification in combination with Ermen （TE 21）， Tinggong （SI 19）， Tinghui （GB 2）， Shenmai （BL 62） to regulate qi and blood， and supporting with Baihui （GV 20）， Yintang （EX-HN 3）， Taichong （LR 3）， and Yanglingquan （GB 34） to soothe the liver， resolve constraint， and calm the mind. Oral administration of Chinese medicinal prescription usually includes modified Yiqi Congming Decoction （益气聪明汤） and Tongqi Powder （通气散）， and the external administration of Chinese medicinal prescription can apply self-prescribed Wenqing Powder （温清散） to navel moxibustion.

BackgroundNon-suicidal self-injury （NSSI） behaviors are prevalent among adolescents， significantly affecting their physical and mental well-being. Understanding the risk factors associated with adolescent NSSI is crucial for prevention. Previous studies have identified mobile phone dependence as a risk factor for NSSI in adolescents. However， as a key form of mobile phone dependence， the evidence regarding the impact of mobile phone social media dependence on adolescent NSSI behavior remains insufficient. ObjectiveTo explore the impact of mobile phone social media dependence and its associated factors on adolescent NSSI behavior， so as to provide references for intervention strategies targeting NSSI in adolescents. MethodsA total of 100 adolescents diagnosed with NSSI according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders， fifth edition （DSM-5）， and receiving treatment at Tongde Hospital of Zhejiang Province from January 2022 to December 2023 were included in the study group. Concurrently， 100 age- and sex-matched students from Hangzhou were recruited as the control group. Assessments were conducted using Ottawa Self-injury Inventory（OSI） Function Subscale and Addiction Features Subscale， Adolescents Self-Harm Scale（ASHS）， and Mobile Phone Social Media Dependence Questionnaire. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the factors influencing NSSI behaviors. ResultsThe research group had a total of 99 patients （99.00%） who completed the study， while the control group consisted of 97 （97.00%） adolescents who finished this research.The study group had statistically significantly higher total scores on the Mobile Phone Social Media Dependence Questionnaire， as well as higher scores on the conflict and withdrawal dimensions， compared with control group（t=-3.061， -2.874， -2.368， P<0.05 or 0.01）. The study group also scored significantly higher on the OSI Function Subscale for internal emotion regulation， social influence， external emotion regulation， and sensation-seeking factors， as well as on the OSI Addiction Features Subscale scores， compared to the control group（t=-22.249， -8.854， -17.968， -10.591， -20.157， P<0.01）. OSI Function Subscale scores were positively correlated with Mobile Phone Social Media Dependence Questionnaire scores （r=0.321， P<0.01）， and OSI Addiction Features Subscale scores were positively correlated with Mobile Phone Social Media Dependence Questionnaire scores （r=0.282， P<0.01）. ASHS scores were positively correlated with Mobile Phone Social Media Dependence Questionnaire scores （r=0.145， P<0.05）. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that compulsivity （β=0.416， P<0.01） and conflict （β=0.256， P<0.05） were significant predictors for adolescent NSSI behaviors. ConclusionAdolescent NSSI behaviors are associated with mobile phone social media dependence. The compulsivity and conflict dimension of mobile phone social media dependence are influencing factors for adolescent NSSI behaviors. The higher level of the compulsivity and conflict are associated with an increased risk of the NSSI behaviors in adolescents. ［Funde by Zhejiang Medical and Health Science and Technology Plan Project in 2022 （number， 2022KY704］

Background::Although overnight fasting is recommended prior to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), the benefits and safety of high-carbohydrate fluid diet (CFD) intake 2 h before ERCP remain unclear. This study aimed to analyze whether high-CFD intake 2 h before ERCP can be safe and accelerate patients’ recovery.Methods::This prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial involved 15 tertiary ERCP centers. A total of 1330 patients were randomized into CFD group ( n = 665) and fasting group ( n = 665). The CFD group received 400 mL of maltodextrin orally 2 h before ERCP, while the control group abstained from food/water overnight (>6 h) before ERCP. All ERCP procedures were performed using deep sedation with intravenous propofol. The investigators were blinded but not the patients. The primary outcomes included postoperative fatigue and abdominal pain score, and the secondary outcomes included complications and changes in metabolic indicators. The outcomes were analyzed according to a modified intention-to-treat principle. Results::The post-ERCP fatigue scores were significantly lower at 4 h (4.1 ± 2.6 vs. 4.8 ± 2.8, t = 4.23, P <0.001) and 20 h (2.4 ± 2.1 vs. 3.4 ± 2.4, t= 7.94, P <0.001) in the CFD group, with least-squares mean differences of 0.48 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.26–0.71, P <0.001) and 0.76 (95% CI: 0.57–0.95, P <0.001), respectively. The 4-h pain scores (2.1 ± 1.7 vs. 2.2 ± 1.7, t = 2.60, P = 0.009, with a least-squares mean difference of 0.21 [95% CI: 0.05–0.37]) and positive urine ketone levels (7.7% [39/509] vs. 15.4% [82/533], χ2 = 15.13, P <0.001) were lower in the CFD group. The CFD group had significantly less cholangitis (2.1% [13/634] vs. 4.0% [26/658], χ2 = 3.99, P = 0.046) but not pancreatitis (5.5% [35/634] vs. 6.5% [43/658], χ2 = 0.59, P = 0.444). Subgroup analysis revealed that CFD reduced the incidence of complications in patients with native papilla (odds ratio [OR]: 0.61, 95% CI: 0.39–0.95, P = 0.028) in the multivariable models. Conclusion::Ingesting 400 mL of CFD 2 h before ERCP is safe, with a reduction in post-ERCP fatigue, abdominal pain, and cholangitis during recovery.Trail Registration::ClinicalTrials.gov, No. NCT03075280.

Objective To assess the clinical correlation between overactive bladder(OAB)and allergies in children.Methods The clinical characteristics of 663 children diagnosed with OAB in outpatient clinics between January 2020 and January 2022 were retro-spectively analyzed,and logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for OAB and evaluate the effect of antihistamine drugs on OAB.Blood and urine samples of some children with OAB were collected to analyze the expression levels of bradykinin and substance P.Results A history of eczema,urticaria,pruritus,mosquito bites,allergic rhinitis,allergic cough with asthma,food allergies,constipation,and total blood IgE levels were risk factors for OAB in children(P＜0.05).The efficacy rate of antihistamine treatment in children with OAB was 95.5％,and no adverse reactions were observed,indicating that the efficacy and safety of OAB in children receiving antihista-mine treatment were good,and the proportion of children with OAB and urticaria in the antihistamine treatment group was higher(P＜0.05).The total blood IgE levels in children with OAB in the effective group of antihistamine treatment were higher than those in the ineffective group(P＜0.05).In addition,the expression level of bradykinin in the urine of children with OAB was significantly higher than in healthy children(P＜0.05),while the level of substance P was not significantly increased(P＞0.05).Conclusion OAB in chil-dren are related to their allergic status,children's previous respiratory,digestive tract,and skin allergies,and significantly elevated blood IgE levels are risk factors for OAB in children.Antihistamine treatment of OAB in children is safe and effective.OAB in children may be related to urine bradykinin.

Objective:To investigate the impacts of galangin(Gal)on the immune inflammatory response in preeclampsia(PE)rats by regulating the IL-6/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(STAT3)signaling pathway.Methods:Pregnant rats were injected subcutaneously with L-arginine methyl ester(L-NAME 125 mg/kg)to establish a PE model.After successful modeling,they were randomly grouped into Model group,low,medium and high doses Gal groups(10,30,and 60 mg/kg)and activator group(60 mg/kg Gal+0.05 mg/kg IL-6/STAT3 pathway activator rIL-6).Twelve pregnant rats of the same period were randomly selected as the control group,and each group was given corresponding drugs by gavage and intraperitoneal injection,once a day for a continuous week.The levels of mean caudal artery pressure(MAP)and 24-hour urinary protein and blood urea nitrogen(BUN)in rats during the third trimester of pregnancy were measured using a blood pressure tester and a fully automated biochemical analyzer;the number and weight of the average offspring of pregnant mice in each group were calculated,and the pregnancy outcome was analyzed;HE staining was applied to observe the pathological damage of rat placenta;ELISA was applied to detect the levels of IL-6,IL-1β and TNF-α in the placenta of rats in each group;the proportion of T lymphocytes in rat peripheral blood was detected by flow cytometry;Western blot was applied to detect the expression of IL-6/STAT3 pathway protein in rat placenta.Results:Compared with control group,the lev-els of MAP,24-hour urinary protein,BUN,IL-6,IL-1β,TNF-α,the CD8+T cells,and the expression levels of IL-6 and p-STAT3/STAT3 proteins in Model group were obviously increased,the placenta tissue was severely damaged,the mean offspring number and mean offspring weight,the proportions of CD3+T,CD4+T,and CD4+/CD8+T cells were decreased(P<0.05);compared with Model group,the levels of MAP,24-hour urinary protein,BUN,IL-6,IL-1β,TNF-α,the CD8+T cells,and the expression levels of IL-6 and p-STAT3/STAT3 proteins in Gal low,medium and high doses groups were obviously decreased,the damage to placental tissue was reduced,the mean offspring number and mean offspring weight,the proportions of CD3+T,CD4+T,and CD4+/CD8+T cells were in-creased(P<0.05);compared with Gal high-dose group,the levels of MAP,24-hour urinary protein,BUN,IL-6,IL-1β,TNF-α,the CD8+T cells,and the expression levels of IL-6 and p-STAT3/STAT3 proteins in activator group were obviously increased,the placenta tissue was aggravated,the mean offspring number and mean offspring weight,the proportions of CD3+T,CD4+T and CD4+/CD8+T cells were decreased(P<0.05).Conclusion:Gal may play a role in alleviating PE symptoms and improving pregnancy outcomes by inhibit-ing the IL-6/STAT3 pathway,inhibiting inflammatory reactions,and regulating cellular immunity.

Objective:To study the regulatory mechanism of p38 MAPK signaling pathway participate in hyperalge-sia reaction in Parkinson's disease(PD)rats model induced by 6-hydroxy dopamine(6-OHDA).Methods:Forty male Sprague Dawley(SD)rats were randomly divided into four groups:Sham group(Sham),model group(6-OHDA),p38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580 treatment group(6-OHDA+SB203580)and p38 MAPK activator anisomycin(ANS)treatment group(6-OHDA+ANS).PD model was established by intra-striatal injection of 6-OHDA stereotactically.6-OHDA+SB203580 and 6-OHDA+ANS groups was injected with 6-OHDA to establish PD model,and treated with inhibitor SB203580 or activator ANS respectively.The von Frey hairs were applied to measure the mechanical paw with-draw threshold(PWT)of rats.Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to detect the content of IL-6,IL-1β,and TNF-α in rat dorsal root ganglion(DRG).The mRNA levels of genes IL-6,IL-1β,TNF-α,and p38 MAPK in rat DRG was detected by real time RT-PCR.Results:In the DRG of 6-OHDA included PD rats,the expres-sion levels of IL-6,IL-1β,TNF-α,and p38 MAPK were significantly increased(P＜0.05),and the PWT of rats were significantly decreased(P＜0.05).The application of activator ANS further increased the expression levels of IL-6,IL-1β,TNF-α,and p38 MAPK,and the PWT of rats were decreased.After application of inhibitor SB203580,the ex-pression levels of IL-6,IL-1β,TNF-α and p38 MAPK were significantly decreased in the DRG of rats(P＜0.05),and the PWT were significantly increased in rats(P＜0.05).Conclusion:6-OHDA induces mechanical hyperalgesia reaction in rats,and the molecular mechanism is related to activation of the p38 MAPK signalling pathway.

Objective To investigate the effect of asiaticoside on blood pressure and relaxation of thoracic aorta in rats and explore the underlying mechanism.Methods SD rats treated with 50 and 100 mg/kg asiaticoside by daily gavage for 2 weeks were monitored for systolic blood pressure changes,and histological changes of the thoracic aorta were evaluated using HE staining.In isolated rat endothelium-intact and endothelium-denuded thoracic aorta rings,the effects of asiaticoside on relaxation of the aortic rings were tested at baseline and following norepinephrine(NE)-and KCl-induced constriction.The vascular relaxation effect of asiaticoside was further observed in NE-stimulated endothelium-intact rat aortic rings pretreated with L-nitroarginine methyl ester,indomethacin,zinc protoporphyrin Ⅸ,tetraethyl ammonium chloride,glibenclamide,barium chloride,Iberiotoxin,4-aminopyridine,or TASK-1-IN-1.The aortic rings were treated with KCl and NE followed by increasing concentrations of CaCl2 to investigate the effect of asiaticoside on vasoconstriction induced by external calcium influx and internal calcium release.Results Asiaticoside at 50 and 100 mg/kg significantly lowered systolic blood pressure in rats without affecting the thoracic aorta histomorphology.While not obviously affecting resting aortic rings with intact endothelium,asiaticoside at 100 mg/kg induced significant relaxation of the rings constricted by KCl and NE,but its effects differed between endothelium-intact and endothelium-denuded rings.In endothelium-intact aortic rings pretreated with indomethacin,ZnPP Ⅸ,barium chloride,glyburide,TASK-1-IN-1 and 4-aminopyridine,asiaticoside did not produce significant effect on NE-induced vasoconstriction,and tetraethylammonium,Iberiotoxin and L-nitroarginine methyl ester all inhibited the relaxation effect of asiaticoside.In KCl-and NE-treated rings,asiaticoside obviously inhibited CaCl2-induced vascular contraction.Conclusion Asiaticoside induces thoracic aorta relaxation by mediating high-conductance calcium-activated potassium channel opening,promoting nitric oxide release from endothelial cells and regulating Ca2+ influx and outflow,thereby reducing systolic blood pressure in rats.

The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2=3.89, P=0.048). After treatment, the scores of tiredness and fatigue, thirst and appetite, overeating and hunger, redness of tongue and lack of saliva and total scores in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t=4.46, 16.89, 13.37, 8.58, 8.38, P<0.01). After treatment, the levels of serum FPG [(7.31±0.90) mmol/L vs. (8.72±1.50) mmol/L, t=5.13], 2 hPG [(9.64±2.05) mmol/L vs. (12.85±1.20) mmol/L, t=8.49], HbA1c [(7.64±0.58)% vs. (8.11±1.35)%, t=2.04] in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.05); MDA [(3.96±1.00) mmol/L vs. (5.04±0.73) mmol/L, t=5.49], 8-OHdG [(203.41±30.70) ng/L vs. (234.50±59.00) ng/L, t=2.98] levels were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.05); The activity of serum SOD [(48.64±5.05) mU/L vs. (41.75±3.58) mU/L, t=7.01] was significantly higher than that of the control group ( P<0.01); The serum LDL-C [(2.01±0.11) mmol/L vs. (2.56±0.25) mmol/L, t=12.84], TC [(4.75±0.20) mmol/L vs. (5.12±0.07) mmol/L, t=10.93] levels were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.01); The serum HDL-C [(1.62±0.18) mmol/L vs. (1.24±0.42) mmol/L, t=5.31] level was significantly higher than that of the control group ( P<0.01). Conclusion:The modified Xiaoke Prescription can improve clinical symptoms, curative effect and pancreatic function, and relieve oxidative stress on the patients with T2DM.

Practice teaching is an important link in the training of public health talents in colleges and universities. At present, there are still some problems in the education of public health and preventive medicine in the colleges and universities in China, such as attaching greater importance to theory than to practice and weak training of practical skills among students. In view of this situation, a public health practice teaching model of "internal-external interactions" has been constructed in Dalian Medical University with focuses on the following aspects: ①experiments in the university are optimized based on social needs; ②the practice base outside the university is expanded based on the teaching in the university; ③"internal-external interactions" are adopted to enhance practice training and improve post competence. The teaching practice shows that the implementation of the teaching model of "internal-external interactions" can help to improve practice teaching ability, promote the improvement in the training quality of public health talents, and meet the social demand for application-oriented professionals.
