The superficial zone (SFZ) of articular cartilage is an important interface that isolates deeper zones from the microenvironment of the articular cavity and is directly exposed to various biological and mechanical stimuli. The SFZ is not only a crucial structure for maintaining the normal physiological function of articular cartilage but also the earliest site of osteoarthritis (OA) cartilage degeneration and a major site of cartilage progenitor cells, suggesting that the SFZ might represent a key target for the early diagnosis and treatment of OA. However, to date, SFZ research has not received sufficient attention, accounting for only about 0.58% of cartilage tissue research. The structure, biological composition, function, and related mechanisms of the SFZ in the physiological and pathological processes of articular cartilage remain unclear. This article reviews the key role of the SFZ in articular cartilage physiology and pathology and focuses on the characteristics of SFZ in articular cartilage degeneration and regeneration in OA, aiming to provide researchers with a systematic understanding of the current research status of the SFZ of articular cartilage, hoping that scholars will give more attention to the SFZ of articular cartilage in the future.

BACKGROUND: Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP), a rare and recurrent autoinflammatory disease, imposes a substantial burden on patients and society. Awareness of GPP in China remains limited. METHODS: This cross-sectional survey, conducted between September 2021 and May 2023 across 14 hospitals in China, included GPP patients of all ages and disease phases. Data collected encompassed demographics, clinical characteristics, economic impact, disease severity, quality of life, and treatment-related complications. Risk factors for GPP recurrence were analyzed. RESULTS: Among 127 patients (female/male ratio = 1.35:1), the mean age of disease onset was 25 years (1st quartile [Q1]-3rd quartile [Q3]: 11-44 years); 29.2% had experienced GPP for more than 10 years. Recurrence occurred in 75.6% of patients, and nearly half reported no identifiable triggers. Younger age at disease onset ( P  = 0.021) and transitioning to plaque psoriasis ( P  = 0.022) were associated with higher recurrence rates. The median diagnostic delay was 8 months (Q1-Q3: 2-41 months), and 32.3% of patients reported misdiagnoses. Comorbidities were present in 53.5% of patients, whereas 51.1% experienced systemic complications during treatment. Depression and anxiety affected 84.5% and 95.6% of patients, respectively. During GPP flares, the median Dermatology Life Quality Index score was 19.0 (Q1-Q3: 13.0-23.5). This score showed significant differences between patients with and without systemic symptoms; it demonstrated correlations with both depression and anxiety scores. Treatment costs caused financial hardship in 55.9% of patients, underscoring the burden associated with GPP. CONCLUSIONS The substantial disease and economic burdens among Chinese GPP patients warrant increased attention. Patients with early onset disease and those transitioning to plaque psoriasis require targeted interventions to mitigate the high recurrence risk.

Objective:To explore the mediating role of work engagement in the relationship between fear of missing out (FoMO) and work well-being among standardized training nurses, and to examine the moderating role of feedback-seeking behavior.Methods:Using convenience sampling, a total of 293 standardized training nurses were recruited from two ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Wuhan, Hubei Province, from April to May 2024. Participants completed a demographic questionnaire, the Employee Fear of Missing Out Scale, Feedback-Seeking Behavior Scale, Short Version of the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, and the Nurse Work Well-Being Scale.Results:FoMO was negatively correlated with work well-being. Work engagement partially mediated the relationship between FoMO and work well-being, accounting for 45.0% (-0.18/-0.40) of the total effect. Feedback-seeking behavior moderated both the relationship between FoMO and work engagement and the overall mediation pathway.Conclusions:FoMO among standardized training nurses affects their work well-being both directly and indirectly through work engagement. This mechanism is moderated by feedback-seeking behavior, highlighting the importance of enhancing work engagement and constructive feedback practices to improve well-being.

Objective:To understand the real feelings of oncology nurses in using arm port, so as to provide basis for taking targeted intervention measures to reduce the problems in the process of nurses using arm port and continuously improve the quality of intravenous therapy.Methods:Using the purposive sampling method, a total of 13 nurses from Oncology Department of Beijing Hospital were selected for in-depth interviews from October to November 2023, and the data were analyzed using Colaizzi's 7-step analysis method.Results:Three themes were extracted, including positive experiences (high sense of security and benefit), growth and reflection and negative experiences (concerns about unknown risks, tension and stress) .Conclusions:As a relatively safe route of administration, arm port is worthy of further promotion and application. There are many concerns among oncology nurses during the use of arm port. It is recommended that medical staff jointly strengthen comprehensive evaluations of patients and managers provide corresponding training and guidance for weak links to alleviate nurses' concerns during the use of arm port, in order to provide patients with higher quality intravenous treatment nursing services.

Critical care medicine-related treatment is an interdisciplinary and multi-professional process,often leading to secondary or concomitant mental disorders in clinical practice.Currently,there is no consensus on the pharmacological treatment of related mental illnesses in China.The Chinese Society of Psychosomatic Medicine collaborated with the Critical Care Medicine expert group to form a consensus writing expert group.After a systematic review of relevant literature,summarizing published domestic and foreign literature,and extensive discussions,the consensus was developed.The consensus elaborates on the principles and processes of the standardized use of psychotropic drugs in critical care medicine,as well as the clinical indications,precautions,and specific drug selection of various psychiatric medications,providing feasible suggestions and guidance for the clinical application of psychiatric medications in the intensive care unit.

On-site supervision is a risk-based regulatory system that requires the scientific development of supervision plans for quality risks and hidden dangers in pharmaceutical enterprises， the rational allocation of supervision resources based on their risk levels， and the implementation of classified supervision measures. In this study， the quality risk monitoring business support system is set up for pharmaceutical enterprises by establishing the quality risk expert database and quality risk monitoring index system for pharmaceutical enterprises based on the difficulty analysis of on-site drug supervision. Based on this support system， the quality risk classification method， the differentiated spot check strategy and business auxiliary visualization system are established. This support system is used to learn the risk level of pharmaceutical enterprises， so as to innovate supervision methods and optimize monitoring strategies. Taking Jiangxi Province as an example， it is verified that the support system can guide the risk assessment of sample enterprises， can improve the targeting of on-site drug supervision in the process of technical review， scheme editing， on-site implementation and comprehensive evaluation， and can effectively improve the quality and efficiency of supervision.

Systematic reviews are the basis of evidence-based medical research, and high-quality systematic reviews represent the highest level of evidence for evaluating treatment effects. Traditional systematic reviews are mainly done manually, but the reading and screening of massive literature requires a lot of energy and time for clinicians, resulting in low efficiency, which cannot meet the needs of rapid decision-making. To address this problem, a number of automated tools have been developed. Thus, this article aims to systematically sort out existing automated tools for systematic review literature screening, and analyze their respective performance, characteristics, and usage to understand the current development status of this field and provide reference for related research and applications.
