epsis is a systemic inflammatory response syndrome triggered by infection， and its high mortality rate is closely associated with immune imbalance， particularly the imbalance in the differentiation of helper T cell （Th） cell subsets [Th1， Th2， Th17， regulatory T cell （Treg） ] . In recent years， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， with its characteristics of multi-component and multi-target actions， has demonstrated unique advantages in regulating Th cell differentiation and function， as well as correcting immune imbalances in sepsis， offering new perspectives for immunotherapy of sepsis. This review summarizes relevant studies on the regulation of Th cell differentiation for sepsis treatment by TCM monomers and active ingredients （such as Astragalus membranaceus ， Scutellaria baicalensis ， Coptis chinensis ， Rheum palmatum ， Ganoderma lucidum ， Ginkgo biloba ， and Cistanche deserticola ）， the alcohol extract of Dai Baijie， and TCM formulas and preparations categorized as blood-activating and stasis-removing， purgative and laxative， warming and tonifying yang， and tonifying qi and nourishing yin. The results indicate that these TCM monomers， active ingredients， extracts， formulas， and preparations can regulate the Th1/Th2 and Th17/Treg balance， target the differentiation balance of Th cell subsets， alleviate inflammatory responses， or improve immune suppression， thereby exerting therapeutic effects on sepsis.

This study aims to review the current status and development trends of digital TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) specimen museums, providing a theoretical basis for their future construction. By systematically organizing literature and materials, practical experiences in platform architecture design, content planning, and technical implementation were summarized. The research results show that digital technology has significant application value in the TCM field. Currently, some Food and Drug Control Institutes have formed diverse construction achievements by integrating regional characteristics with technological innovation. However, current TCM specimen museums generally still face many challenges, such as insufficient digitalization. In conclusion, the digitalization of TCM specimen museums has become an inevitable trend in the industry. Targeted measures are urgently needed to solve existing problems and promote the sustainable development of digital TCM specimen museums. It is suggested to strengthen the standardization of data collection and storage, deepen the integration of technologies such as 3D, AR, and AI into the construction of specimen museums, and at the same time promote the spatial design combining regional culture with TCM. This will help create "one museum with one feature for one region" digital TCM specimen museums, further promoting their sustainable development and facilitating the digital inheritance of TCM.

Objective To provide a scientific basis for vector prevention and control in port areas, vector monitoring has been conducted continuously to characterize the composition, density, and seasonal fluctuations of vectors across 21 port-areas of Shandong province from 2017 to 2023. Methods In accordance with the Regional Vector Monitoring Plan for Frontier Ports, vector surveillance of mosquitoes, flies, cockroaches, rodents, and other disease vectors was performed. Data were analyzed to describe vector community composition and identify seasonal fluctuations. Results A total of 601 rodents belonging to 1 family, 4 genera, and 4 species were captured. Three dominant rodent species inhabit port areas. In addition, 88 104 mosquitoes were captured and classified into 3 subfamilies, 4 genera, and 12 species; 38 959 flies were trapped and classified into 8 families,31 genera, and 51 species, including 9 dominant fly species in port-areas; and 54 672 captured cockroaches were classified into 2 families,4 genera, and 4 species, with Blattella germanica as the dominant species. Conclusions Significant vector community changes(P＜0.005)have been identified after the epidemic. To improve the pertinence and efficacy of port health quarantine work, continuous and strong attention should be paid to vector compositions and population densities at Shandong ports.

Objective To assess the prevalence and clinical features of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)and its risk factors in patients with CHF,so as to provide the reference for early identification of NAFLD.Methods The data from 1120 CHF patients aged 14～89 was collected,including the general demographic information(age,gender,smoking status,height,weight,BMI,etc.),clinical diagnosis and treatment data(blood pressure,NYHA heart function classification,blood biochemical indicators,etc.),and medication use status.SPSS 27.0 was applied to analyze the clinical characteristics of CHF combined with NAFLD,and binary multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors of CHF combined with NAFLD.Results Among the 1120 patients,634(56.6%)were male and 486(43.4%)were female.The prevalence of CHF patients with NAFLD was 25.0%.The results of univariate analysis showed that the weight of NAFLD patients BMI,systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,FPG,UA,left room expansion ratio,ALT,CHO,TG,obesity rate,hyperuricemia rate and β-blocker usage rate were all higher than those of non NAFLD patients.The age,BNP,HDL and ACEI/ARB/ARNI usage rate of NAFLD patients were lower than those of non NAFLD patients(all P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that age(OR=0.988),FPG(OR=1.099),overweight(OR=3.497)and obesity(OR=9.193)were independent risk factors for CHF patients with NAFLD.Conclusion NAFLD may be a common complication in CHF patients,especially those who are young,have high FPG,overweight and obese.In the clinical practice,NAFLD screening,evaluation and management should be focused on CHF patients who are young,have high fasting blood sugar,overweight,and obese.

Radiation-induced skin injury is one of the common adverse reactions of radiotherapy, involving skin, blood vessels, glands, and bones, and may even lead to carcinogenesis. It is characterized by high incidence, long treatment process, and high cost. In recent years, adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells and their secreted exosomes have become a research hotspot in tissue repair. Exosomes can secrete a variety of cytokines related to wound repair and exhibit various biological functions, including inhibition of oxidative stress, modulation of inflammation, regulation of DNA damage repair, promotion of cell proliferation and migration, reduction of fibrosis, and regulation of the extracellular matrix. Exosomes are currently a major source of cytokines in the field of tissue repair and regeneration. This article reviews the application and therapeutic prospects of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell exosomes in radiation-induced skin injury, aiming to provide new ideas for the clinical treatment of this condition.

Alterations in the gut microbiota can lead to the occurrence of autoimmune diseases and affect the immune system through various metabolic pathways，ultimately causing damage to target organs. Short-chain fatty acids（SCFAs），the common metabolic product of the gut microbiota，are closely related to the functions of multiple organs and diseases. An increasing number of studies have shown that SCFAs can regulate the immune response of the body and influence the immune process of various autoimmune diseases. However，there are relatively few domestic studies on the relationship between SCFAs and autoimmune diseases in childhood. This article aims to explore the role of SCFAs in various common autoimmune diseases in childhood and summarize the alleviation of clinical manifestations in children with various autoimmune diseases by SCFAs，providing research ideas for exploring the pathogenesis of various autoimmune diseases，and enrich the theoretical basis for conducting fecal microbiota transplantation therapy.

Objective To establish a risk prediction scheme for recurrence of diabetic foot ulcer based on biochemical test indexes.Methods The clinical data of totally 198 patients with diabetic foot ulcer in the hos-pital from January 2016 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed,and randomly divided into a training group(n=139)and a verification group(n=59)according to a ratio of 7∶3.The general data of the training group and the verification group were compared.The training group was divided into recurrence group(n=75)and non-recurrence group(n=64)according to whether there was recurrence or not during following-up.General data of the recurrence group and the non-recurrence group were compared,and the influencing factors of recurrence of diabetic foot ulcer were analyzed by Logistic regression to establish a Nomogram model.Re-ceiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the prediction ability of the Nomogram mod-el for both the training group and the verification group,and the Nomogram model was internally verified by Bootstrap method.The clinical net benefit rate of this Nomogram model was verified by decision curve analy-sis(DCA).Results The recurrence rate of 198 patients was 53.03％(105/198).Glycosylated hemoglobin A1c(HbA1c,OR=1.86 6,95％CI:1.377-2.529),white blood cell count(WBC,OR=1.687,95％CI:1.094-2.602),C-reactive protein(CRP,OR=1.704,95％CI:1.145-2.537),platelet(PLT,OR=1.939,95％CI:1.270-2.961),serum creatinine(Scr,OR=1.687,95％CI:1.193-2.387),blood urea nitrogen(BUN,OR=1.685,95％CI:1.227-2.315),urine microalbumin-creatinine ratio(ACR,OR=1.842,95％CI:1.230-2.759),and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF,OR=1.829,95％CI:1.281-2.614)were risk factors for recurrence of diabetic foot ulcer(P＜0.05),albumin(ALB,OR=0.462,95％CI:0.287-0.742)and total bilirubin(TBIL,OR=0.506,95％CI:0.327-0.783)were protective factors for the recurrence of diabetic foot ulcer(P＜0.05).The area under the curve(AUG)of the Nomogram model was 0.928(95％CI:0.802-0.985),the sensitivity was 91.71％,and the specificity was 82.41％.The AUC of the prediction group was 0.775(95％CI:0.617-0.890),the sensitivity was 79.17％,and the specificity was 86.48％.Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test showed P values were both over 0.05 in the training group and the verification group,and the model calibration was well.The Nomogram model predicts that the training group could obtain net clinical benefits in the range of 0.00％to 96.00％,and the verification group can obtain net clinical bene-fits in the range of 0.00％to 95.00％.Conclusion HbA1c,WBC,CRP,PLT,Scr,BUN,ACR and VEGF are risk factors for the recurrence of diabetic foot ulcer,and ALB and TBIL are protective factors for the recur-rence of diabetic foot ulcer.Integrating these factors to construct a Nomogram model could predict the recur-rence of diabetic foot ulcer effectively.

In modern society, sugary foods have become an integral part of many people′s lives. However, excessive sugar consumption has adverse effects on both overall health and oral health, serving as a contributing factor to the global increasing incidence in oral diseases, cardiovascular diseases, cancers, obesity, and diabetes. In response to the health risks related to high-sugar diets, the World Health Organization (WHO) and World Dental Federation (FDI) have proposed initiatives and recommendations, with various governments implementing different policies and strategies to reduce sugar intake. Chinese government has also taken proactive measures. The "Healthy China Action (2019-2030)" initiative introduced by the State Council in 2019 established a crucial benchmark in limiting the average daily intake of added sugar to 25 g per person forward to 2030. Experts from Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the field of oral health have meticulously examined the impacts of sugar reduction on oral health, as well as strategies, methods, and practical considerations related to reducing sugar intake through several meeting and wrote the "Expert consensus: reducing free-sugar for caries prevention", which was subsequently reviewed and revised based on the feedback from multiple stakeholders. They have conducted thorough analyses of global trends in sugar reduction and best practices to provide valuable insights to China for crafting effective policies and strategies on sugar reduction. This consensus mainly includes the classification of free sugars, the latest scientific evidence on dental caries, recommendations from WHO on sugar-sweetened beverage taxes, nutrition labeling, advertising, food reform, adjusting supply systems, education, and promotion strategies, as well as sugar reduction actions taken by various governments around the world. Combining the actual situation in China, policy recommendations and authoritative popular science knowledge on sugar reduction for caries prevention to public are proposed to advocate for experts in multiple fields to focus on sugar reduction for caries prevention, promote the work process, and provide the scientific basis for oral health educators.
