It is believed that the head and facial orifices are connected with the brain's spirit and the spirits of the five organs. Their functions, including vision, hearing, smell, taste, and speech, are manifestations of the activity of the spirit. Furthermore, head and facial orifice disorders are interrelated with spirit disorders, forming a cause-and-effect relationship. Acupuncture has a regulatory effect on the spirit. Based on this, acupuncture for regulating the spirit in treating head and facial orifice disorders is proposed. This includes regulating the brain's spirit to treat functional disorders, regulating the heart's spirit to clarify the functions of governing substances, regulating the organ's spirit to benefit the orifices and enhance the communication of the spirit, and regulating the liver's spirit to promote the flow of Qi (气) and relieve stagnation, thereby providing a framework for acupuncture to treat head and facial orifice disorders.

To summarise the clinical experience of treating insomnia with the method of resolving depression, regulating the middle, and tranquilising mind. It is believed that the key to the pathogenesis of insomnia lies in qi depression, disharmony of qi pivot, and disharmony of qi and blood, and the core treatment is to resolve depression, regulating the middle, and tranquilising mind. The self-prescribed Jieyu Anmian Formula (解郁安眠方) could be used as the basic treatment, then modified according to the performance of the patient and syndromes. For syndrome of liver depression restricting spleen, the treatment should soothe liver and invigorate spleen, resolve depression and regulate the middle; for syndrome of liver depression and phlegm coagulation, the treatment should resolve depression and phlegm, support the earth and free the wood; for syndrome of liver depression transforming into fire, the treatment should soothe liver and clear fire, resolve depression and dysphoria; for syndrome of qi stagnation and blood stasis, the treatment should activate blood and regulate the middle, resolve depression and tranquilise mind.

Objective:To explore the role of PTPN11 gene polymorphisms in Noonan syndrome (NS) and other related diseases and to evaluate the association between PTPN11 gene variants and various disease phenotypes.Methods:This study first described a case of 7-year-old girl diagnosed with Nonan symdrome who visited our department in Februay 2024 presented to our department six months ago and was diagnosed with Noonan syndrome. Whole-exome sequencing revealed a heterozygous variant in her PTPN11 gene, with the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) locus identified as rs121918457. Due to limited phenotypic data associated with rs121918457 in available databases, the cis-expression quantitative trait locus (cis-eQTL) rs12425405, located near the PTPN11 gene, was used as a proxy to further investigate the impact of PTPN11 gene expression regulation on various disease phenotypes. A PheWAS analysis was conducted to assess the statistical association between PTPN11 polymorphism and diverse phenotypic traits. All data were analyzed using the PheWeb online tool, and statistical significance was tested using the P-value. Bonferroni correction was applied for multiple comparisons to ensure the reliability of the results. The significance level was set at P<0.05, and the Bonferroni-corrected significance threshold was P=3.52×10 -5. Results:This case demonstrated that, in addition to the typical clinical features of Noonan syndrome, the child also presented with significant hypertension and autoimmune symptoms (such as joint pain, peripheral nerve damage, and positive antinuclear antibodies). The PheWAS analysis revealed significant statistical associations between the rs12425405 polymorphism and the following disease phenotypes: myocardial infarction ( P=1.90×10 -5), coronary atherosclerosis ( P=7.40×10 -5), ischemic heart disease ( P=2.30×10 -5), and hypertension ( P=8.8×10 -5). Additionally, rs12425405 showed statistical associations with some autoimmune symptoms (such as rheumatoid arthritis) ( P=0.027), but did not reach the corrected significance threshold ( P>3.52×10 -5). Conclusion:PTPN11 gene mutations are not only pathogenic factors in Noonan syndrome but may also play a critical role in the development of cardiovascular diseases and are associated with autoimmune symptoms. However, further research is needed to elucidate the functional mechanisms of the PTPN11 gene across multiple diseases and determine whether common genetic drivers are present.

Cervical spinal cord injury without fracture-dislocation (CSCIWFD) is referred to as a special type of cervical spinal cord injury characterized by traumatic spinal cord dysfunction and no significant bony structural abnormalities on imagines. Duo to the high risk of missed diagnosis during the initial consultation, CSCIWFD may lead to progressive neurological deterioration or even complete paralysis, severely impacting patients′ prognosis. Currently, there are no established consensuses over the diagnosis and treatment of CSCIWFD, such as the lack of evidence-based standards for indications of non-surgical treatment and risk of secondary neurological injury, as well as debates over the optimal timing for surgical intervention and indications for different surgical approaches. To address these issues, the Spine Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the relevant fields to formulate Diagnosis and treatment guideline for acute cervical spinal cord injury without fracture- dislocation in adults ( version 2025) . Based on evidence-based medicine and the principles of scientific rigor and clinical applicability, the guidelines proposed 11 recommendations covering terminology, diagnosis, evaluation treatment, and rehabilitation, etc., aiming to standardize the management of CSCIWFD.
