Confucian emotionalism advocates that “emotion” is the starting point of humanity and even the way of heaven， a specific state of interpersonal relationships and life activities， as well as the basic way for people to connect with themselves， others， and the external world. Epidemic response measures in ancient China exhibited distinct characteristics of Confucian emotionalism， which are manifested as the emotional background of “benevolence” as the core， the emotional standard of “righteousness” as the orientation， and the emotional community of “harmony between humans and nature” as the purpose. The analysis of traditional Chinese epidemic response from the perspective of Confucian emotionalism can provide inspiration for contemporary public health governance， namely， paying attention to the role of emotional elements and overcoming instrumental rationalism； accepting uncertainty and reshaping human cognition of the epidemic； focusing on emotional connection and Building a Global Community of Health for Acl community. Thus， the harmonious coexistence between individuals， between humans and society， and between humans and nature can be realized.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the risk prediction model of ICU-acquired dysphagia in critically ill patients, and to provide a reference basis for medical practitioners to select or develop suitable risk assessment tools.Methods:Cross-sectional studies, case-control studies, and cohort studies of ICU-acquired dysphagia risk prediction models were searched in eight databases, including Wanfang database, China Biomedical Literature Database, VIP database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Library in both English and Chinese, and the search timeframe was from the construction of the database to July 5th, 2023. and the search was limited to Chinese and English. Literature was independently screened and data were extracted by 2 investigators, and the risk of bias assessment tool for predictive modeling studies was applied to analyze the risk of bias and applicability of the included literature.Results:A total of 8 high-quality papers were included, including 8 predictive models of risk of ICU-acquired dysphagia. The area under the subject operating characteristic curve for the models ranged from 0.750 to 0.980, with 6 models reporting calibration and 2 models having a Hosmer-Lemeshow test P>0.05, indicating good agreement. 2 models were externally validated. Independent predictors reported repeatedly for multivariate models were age ≥ 65 years, chronic lung disease, cerebrovascular disease, comorbid arrhythmias, use of sedative medications and duration of use, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ score ≥ 15, presence of a nasogastric tube, duration of indwelling gastric tube ≥ 72 h, and duration of endotracheal intubation ≥ 72 h. Smaller sample sizes (outcome events), insufficient attention to missing data, variable screening processes irrationality, and model overfitting increased the risk of model bias. Conclusions:The included models showed overall good discrimination and applicability, but their risk of bias was high, and external validation was carried out in only a very few studies. Future studies should refer to transparent reports of multivariate predictive models to develop, update, and validate the models to obtain high-quality predictive models of the risk of ICU-acquired dysphagia, which can provide a reference basis for the development of relevant preventive strategies.

Objective:To evaluate the intermediate and long-term outcomes and technical aspects of transcatheter closure (TCC) of coronary cameral fistulas (CCF) in pediatric patients.Methods:This was a case-control study. All pediatric patients with CCF who underwent TCC between January 2005 and December 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Data was collected from medical records, including demographic characteristics, procedural details, intraoperative and postoperative serious adverse events, follow-up results and prognosis. Patients with serious adverse events and without serious adverse events were compared regarding their clinical features and CCF characteristics. Comparisons between groups were performed with independent sample t test, chi-square test or Fisher exact test. Results:A total of 66 CCF patients (34 boys, 32 girls, 3.9 (1.9, 6.2) years old, 15 (11, 20) kg) underwent attempted TCC. All of the CCF were all medium or large fistulas including 55 proximal fistulas (83%) and 11 distal fistulas (17%). The CCF originated more frequently from the right coronary artery (38 cases (58%)), followed by the left coronary artery (28 cases (42%)). The incidence of coronary artery aneurysms (CAA) was 61% (40/66).Procedural treatment was achieved in 64 patients and procedural success was achieved in 59 patients (92%). Six (9%) serious adverse events occurred in 5 patients during the perioperative period. Acute complications included procedure-related death in one patient and acute myocardial infarction in one patient. Periprocedural complications occurred in 3 patients at one day postoperatively including acute myocardial infarction (2 cases), occluder detachment (1 case), and tricuspid chordae tendinae rupture (1 case). Clinical follow-up data were available in 58 of the 62 patients who underwent initial successful TCC with a follow-up period of 9.3 (6.5, 13.4) years. Ten adverse events occurred in 9 patients including 5 complications consisted of aortic valve perforation (1 case), coronary thrombosis (1 case), progressive aneurysmal dilation after reintervention (1 case), and new-onset tricuspid valve prolapse with significant regurgitation (2 cases) and large residual shunts due to fistula recanalization (5 cases). Therefore, the incidence of intermediate and long-term adverse events was 17% (10/58). During the periprocedural and follow-up period, 16 adverse events occurred in 13 patients, whereas no adverse events occurred in 51 patients. Patients with seriovs adverse events presented with larger proportion of large CCF (11/13 vs. 39% (20/51), P=0.005), giant CAA (10/13 vs.14% (7/51), P=0.030), and higher mean pulmonary artery pressure ((20±9) vs.(16±6) mmHg, 1 mmHg=0.133 kPa, t=2.02, P=0.048) compared to patients without serious adverse events. Conclusions:TCC in CCF children appears to be effective with favorable intermediate and long-term outcomes. Strict indication of TCC is mandatory.

Objective:To summarize the clinical treatment of complete left bundle branch block (CLBBB) after the transcatheter closure of ventricular septal defect (VSD).Methods:A case series study was conducted on the treatments and outcomes of 25 children with CLBBB after transcatheter VSD closure in Guangdong Provincial People′s Hospital from January 2010 to December 2023.Paired sample t test was used to evaluate the effect of occlude removal. Results:Among the 25 patients, 12 were males (48%), and 13 were females (52%).The age at surgery was 3.18 (2.51-3.86) years, the height before surgery was 95.0 (90.0-97.5) cm, and the weight before surgery was 13 (12-15) kg.Fourteen children were early-onset cases (≤ 1 month), while the other 11 were late-onset cases (> 1 month).The mean follow-up time was (6.63±3.93) years.Of the 14 early-onset cases, 6 children underwent occluder removal within 1 month and restored normal heart rhythm or incomplete right bundle branch block; 4 children underwent occluder removal after 1 month, of whom 2 recovered, 1 remained CLBBB, and 1 had complete atrioventricular block (CAVB); the other 4 children received drug treatment, of whom 2 had normal heart rhythm, 1 had left anterior fascicular block, and 1 died of cardiac shock and heart failure.All the 11 late-onset cases were first treated by drugs, of whom 3 recovered, and the other 8 remained CLBBB.One of the 8 cases received occluder removal at 8 months after surgery and recovered, 1 had CAVB, and the other 6 remained CLBBB.Conclusions:For patients with CLBBB after transcatheter closure of VSD, drug therapy is not always effective, and CLBBB is easy to recur.Therefore, occluder removal is recommended to be done immediately after CLBBB is discovered.Patients with persistent CLBBB should be followed up regularly, and pacemaker implantation may be performed if necessary.

Ribosomopathies encompass a spectrum of disorders arising from impaired ribosome biogenesis and reduced functionality.Mutation or dysexpression of the genes that disturb any finely regulated steps of ribosome biogenesis can result in different types of ribosomopathies in clinic,collectively known as ribosomopathy genes.Emerging data suggest that ribosomopathy patients exhibit a significantly heightened susceptibility to cancer.Abnormal ribosome biogenesis and dysregulation of some ribo-somopathy genes have also been found to be intimately associated with cancer development.The cor-relation between ribosome biogenesis or ribosomopathy and the development of malignancies has been well established.This work aims to review the recent advances in the research of ribosomopathy genes among human cancers and meanwhile,to excavate the potential role of these genes,which have not or rarely been reported in cancer,in the disease development across cancers.We plan to establish a theoretical framework between the ribosomopathy gene and cancer development,to further facilitate the potential of these genes as diagnostic biomarker as well as pharmaceutical targets for cancer treatment.

Objective To explore the clinical value of endoscopic ultrasonography(EUS)combined with serum serine protease inhibitor Kazal 1(SPINK1)and secretory phosphoprotein 1(SPP1)in early diagnosis of esophageal cancer.Methods 276 patients from June 2021 to May 2023 were selected as the study objects.92 cases of esophageal cancer diagnosed by operation and pathology were esophageal cancer group,another 89 patients diagnosed as benign esophageal lesions through tissue biopsy were selected as the benign lesion group,and 95 healthy individuals who underwent physical examinations were collected as the healthy control group,general information such as age and gender of subjects in three groups were collected and organized;using pathological results as the gold standard,the accuracy of EUS in diagnosing esophageal cancer was verified;the expression of serum SPINK1 and SPP1 was compared among the esophageal cancer group,benign lesion group,and healthy control group;the relationship between the expression of serum SPINK1 and SPP1 in esophageal cancer patients and their clinical and pathological characteristics was explored;efficacy of EUS combined with serum SPINK1,SPP1 levels for early diagnosis of esophageal cancer was analyzed using receiver operator characteristic curve(ROC curve).Results Compared with the gold standard,the results of EUS examination showed that 81 cases were diagnosed with esophageal cancer,79 cases were diagnosed with benign lesions,11 cases were missed diagnosed,and 10 cases were misdiagnosed,with an accuracy rate of 88.40%(160/181);Compared with the healthy control group and the benign lesion group,the expression levels of serum SPINK1 and SPP1 in the esophageal cancer group were obviously increased,the expression levels of serum SPINK1 and SPP1 in the benign lesion group were significantly higher than those in the healthy control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05);Serum SPINK1 expression was linked to tumor diameter>2 cm,presence of lymph node metastasis,lymph node positivity,and tissue grading level 3 in patients(P<0.05).Serum SPP1 expression level was related to tumor diameter>2 cm,presence of lymph node metastasis,lymph node positivity,and estrogen receptor positivity of patients(P<0.05);ROC curve showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of EUS,serum SPINK1,SPP1 levels,and their combination in the early diagnosis of esophageal cancer was 0.862,0.834,0.782,and 0.926,respectively,the clinical efficacy of the combination of the three in the early diagnosis of esophageal cancer was superior to that of EUS,serum SPINK1,and SPP1 alone(Z=2.30,Z=3.70,Z=4.23,P=0.022,P=0.000,P=0.000).Conclusion The expression levels of serum SPINK1 and SPP1 in esophageal cancer patients are abnormally up-regulated.The combination of EUS and serum SPINK1 and SPP1 has high clinical value in early diagnosis of esophageal cancer.
