Objective: To analyze the association between drinking behaviors and anxiety symptoms, with the mediating role of insomnia symptoms among college freshmen, so as to provide a reference basis for reducing the occurrence of anxiety symptoms in college freshmen. Methods: From October to December 2021, 31 856 freshmen were selected by the purposive sampling method in 22 colleges across 11 provinces (Fujian, Jiangsu, Guangdong, Henan, Anhui, Hubei, Shanxi, Jiangxi, Shaanxi, Yunnan, Chongqing) in China. The Semi quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire was used to investigate college freshmen drinking behaviors. The Depression Anxiety Stress Scale 21 and the Insomnia Severity Index were used to assess anxiety symptoms and insomnia symptoms in college freshmen. The generalized linear model was employed to analyze the association between drinking behaviors and anxiety symptoms in college freshmen, and the structural equation modeling was used to assess the mediating effect of insomnia symptoms on the association. Results: The detection rate of anxiety symptoms among college freshmen was 28.2%, the detection rates of the mild, moderate, severe and extremely severe were 6.6%, 15.9%, 3.2% and 2.6%, respectively. While 23.6% of college freshmen reported drinking in the past month, the rates were 39.8% among boys and 15.9% among girls. After adjusting for demographic variables (ethnicity, education, major, etc.) and confounding variables (self evaluation of learning burden, number of close friends, screen time, etc.), the results of generalized linear model analysis showed that beer consumption was associated with anxiety symptoms in college freshmen( β =0.09, 95% CI =0.04-0.14), girls( β =0.14, 95% CI =0.07-0.21) and those aged 19-20 years ( β =0.12, 95% CI =0.05-0.19)(all P <0.05). Red wine consumption was associated with anxiety symptoms in male students ( β =0.13, 95% CI =0.02-0.24, P <0.05). Alcohol and beer consumption were associated with insomnia in college freshmen[ β (95% CI ) =0.22(0.08-0.36),0.31(0.23-0.39),both P <0.01]. Insomnia symptoms partially mediated the association between drinking behaviors and anxiety symptoms among college freshmen with a mediating effect value of 0.05, accounting for 50.49% of the total effect. Conclusions Insomnia symptoms partially mediates the association between drinking behaviors and anxiety symptoms in college freshmen. Measures should be taken to simultaneously intervene in the drinking behaviors and insomnia symptoms of college freshmen to prevent the occurrence of their anxiety symptoms.

Medical academic conferences represent one of the important carriers of scientific and technological exchanges， promoting the progress of medical science and technology and the dissemination of knowledge. However， the surge in the number of conferences has not been matched by a corresponding improvement in academic quality， leading to widespread doubts about their academic nature. The standardization of medical academic conferences urgently requires clarifying the core value standards of high-quality medical academic conferences from the perspective of academic ethics. Based on the perspective of academic ethics and employing Bourdieu’s field theory， this study systematically analyzed the functional positioning and value norms of medical academic conferences. It argued that they were committed to “pursuing truth” in knowledge production at the individual level， focused on “pursuing goodness” in communication and dissemination at the academic community level， and strove for “pursuing innovation” in innovative influence at the social level. Taking a professional annual conference as a typical case， this study further delved into the operational processes and internal mechanisms of academic annual conferences in the medical field. On this basis， optimization recommendations were proposed， including strengthening the principle of academic priority， promoting equal participation mechanisms， fostering innovative development models， and other aspects， with a view to providing a theoretical basis and practical guidance for the high-quality development of medical academic conferences.

ObjectiveTo establish a rapid analytical method for identifying the differential components in Poria cocos medicinal materials based on ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-electrostatic field orbital trap high-resolution mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS）， combined with mass defect filtering（MDF） and molecular network integration techniques. MethodsUPLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS was used for MS data acquisition and identification of P. cocos medicinal materials， with the help of MDF for the study of cleavage behavior and structural identification of triterpenoids. According to the similarity of MS/MS fragmentation patterns of each component， global natural product social molecular network（GNPS） was established， and Cytoscape 3.6.1 was used to screen molecular clusters with similar structures and the the structure of main compound classes were identified and confirmed. Multivariate statistical analyses such as principal component analysis（PCA） and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis（OPLS-DA） were used to screen the differential components of the five P. cocos medicinal materials with the variable importance in the projection（VIP） value>1 and P<0.05 as the criteria. ResultsA total of 66 compounds were identified by database comparison， 8 compounds were newly identified by MDF， 28 compounds were newly identified by GNPS， and a total of 102 chemical compounds were identified， including 43 triterpenoids， 16 saccharides， 26 amino acids and peptides， 3 nucleosides， and 14 other compounds. Triterpenoids were predominant in Poriae Cutis and wild Fushen， amino acids and peptides were the most abundant in Poria and cultivated Fushen， carbohydrates were the most abundant in Poriae Cutis. Type Ⅰ and Ⅱ triterpenoids had higher amounts in Poria and cultivated Fushen， type Ⅲ triterpenoids were more abundant in Poriae Cutis， all four types of triterpenoids were higher in Fushenmu， and type Ⅰ， Ⅱ， and Ⅳ triterpenoids were higher in wild Fushen. A total of 12 common differential chemical constituents were screened， including serine， guanosine， gallic acid， 2-octenal， maltotriose， trametenolic acid， dehydroeburicoic acid， dehydrotrametenolic acid， poricoic acid A， poricoic acid B， poricoic acid E and G， but the relative contents of them varied significantly among different medicinal materials. ConclusionAmong the five P. cocos medicinal materials， the types of constituents are generally similar， but their relative contents differed significantly among these medicinal materials， especially in the distribution of triterpenoids. The integration of UPLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS， MDF and GNPS can provide a reference for the rapid qualitative analysis of other Chinese medicines.

Objective:To describe the safety of using the Chinese-made robotic laparoscopic surgery system for laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy in the treatment of severe pelvic organ prolapse.Methods:A pilot descriptive clinical study was conducted, enrolling 16 severe pelvic organ prolapse patients at Peking University First Hospital from April 2023 to January 2024. Patients who consented to participate in this study underwent laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy for severe pelvic organ prolapse using Chinese-made robotic laparoscopic surgery system. Preoperative clinical basic data and perioperative data of the patients were collected, summarizing the data on perioperative bleeding and complications, and reviewed the surgical learning experience. The evaluation indicators related to the learning experience included: (1) efficiency evaluation: including equipment docking time, total surgery time, suturing time, mechanical arm operation time and hysterectomy time, which were timed and recorded during surgery; (2) equipment operability evaluation: including equipment operation task load assessment and intraoperative operation feeling score. The cumulative sum analysis method was used to quantify surgery time and fit the learning curve.Results:Sixteen patients were successfully enrolled and underwent surgery, including total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy or salpingectomy plus sacrocolpopexy, or sacrocolpopexy alone (for one case without uterus). The age of 16 cases was (56.7±7.6) years (ranged from 44 to 67 years), with body mass index of (25.4±2.5) kg/m2. Concurrent procedures included anterior vaginal wall repair in 12 cases (12/16), posterior vaginal wall repair in 13 cases (13/16), tension-free vaginal tape obturator system in 1 case (1/16), and recto-uterine pouch hernia repair in 4 cases (4/16). The total surgery time was (355.8±91.1) minutes, with docking time at (6.7±4.9) minutes, robotic operative time at (267.6±81.4) minutes, robotic suturing time at (155.6±53.9) minutes, and hysterectomy time at (112.0±45.3) minutes. Learning curve analysis revealed inflection points at 6 cases for total surgery time ( P<0.001, R2=0.944) and robotic operative time ( P<0.001, R2=0.982), 5 cases for docking time ( P<0.001, R2=0.989), and 6 cases for robotic suturing time ( P<0.001, R2=0.907). Hysterectomy time had an inflection point at 5 cases ( P=0.023, R2=0.700). Median blood loss was 30 ml (range: 10-1 000 ml), with severe bleeding in one patient (1/16). No conversions to open surgery or laparoscopy occurred, and no severe perioperative or postoperative complications were reported. Conclusion:The Chinese-made robotic laparoscopic surgery system demonstrates excellent short-time safety and ease of operation for laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy.

Hemoglobin, the principal protein in red blood cells, is crucial for oxygen transport in the bloodstream. The quantification of hemoglobin concentration is indispensable in medical diagnostics and health management, which encompass the diagnosis of anemia and the screening of various blood disorders. Immunological methods, based on antigen-antibody interactions, are distinguished by their high sensitivity and accuracy. Consequently, it is necessary to develop hemoglobin-specific antibodies characterized by high specificity and affinity to enhance detection accuracy. In this study, we immunized a Bactrian camel (Camelus bactrianus) with human hemoglobin and subsequently constructed a nanobody library. Utilizing a solid-phase screening method, we selected nanobodies and evaluated the binding activity of the screened nanobodies to hemoglobin. Initially, human hemoglobin was used to immunize a Bactrian camel. Following four immunization sessions, blood was withdrawn from the jugular vein, and a nanobody library with a capacity of 2.85×10⁸ colony forming units (CFU) was generated. Subsequently, ten hemoglobin-specific nanobody sequences were identified through three rounds of adsorption-elution-enrichment assays, and these nanobodies were subjected to eukaryotic expression. Finally, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and biolayer interferometry were employed to evaluate the stability, binding activity, and specificity of these nanobodies. The results demonstrated that the nanobodies maintained robust binding activity within the temperature range of 20-40 ℃ and exhibited the highest binding activity at pH 7.0. Furthermore, the nanobodies were capable of tolerating a 10% methanol solution. Notably, among the nanobodies tested, VHH-12 displayed the highest binding activity to hemoglobin, with a half maximal effective concentration (EC₅₀) of 10.63 nmol/L and a equilibrium dissociation constant (K_D) of 2.94×10^-7 mol/L. VHH-12 exhibited no cross-reactivity with a panel of eight proteins, such as ovalbumin and bovine serum albumin, while demonstrating partial cross-reactivity with hemoglobin derived from porcine, goat, rabbit, and bovine sources. In this study, a hemoglobin-specific high-affinity nanobody was successfully isolated, demonstrating potential applications in disease diagnosis and health monitoring.

The study was conducted among 120 general practitioners (GPs) in Shanghai Fengxian District from August 2022 to March 2024, the participants were randomly divided into two age-matched groups with 60 GPs in each group. The intervention group completed a 3-month SPOC (Small Private Online Course)program, including two weeks of narrative medicine theory (concepts, questioning skills, parallel medical record writing, and professionalism) followed by monthly writing practices (three parallel records per month) and group discussions. Both groups performed routine clinical tasks, while the control group received no narrative medicine training. Baseline data were collected, Jefferson Empathy Scale scores, and Doctor-Patient Communication Skills Evaluation Scale scores were evaluated pre- and post-intervention. There were no significant differences in empathy ( P>0.05) or communication skills ( P>0.05) between two groups before the intervention. Post-intervention, both groups showed improved empathy (both P<0.05) and communication skills (both P<0.05) after intervention, while the intervention group were outperforming the control group in both measures ( P<0.05). These findings suggest that SPOC-based narrative competence training effectively enhances the empathy and doctor-patient communication abilities of general practitioners.
