BACKGROUND:Osteoporotic fracture is the most serious complication of osteoporosis.Previous studies have demonstrated that gut microbiota has a regulatory effect on skeletal tissue and that gut microbiota has an important relationship with osteoporotic fracture,but the causal relationship between the two is unclear. OBJECTIVE:To explore the causal relationship between gut microbiota and osteoporotic fractures using Mendelian randomization method. METHODS:The genome-wide association study(GWAS)datasets of gut microbiota and osteoporotic fracture were obtained from the IEU Open GWAS database and the Finnish database R9,respectively.Using gut microbiota as the exposure factor and osteoporotic fracture as the outcome variable,Mendelian randomization analyses with random-effects inverse variance weighted,MR-Egger regression,weighted median,simple model,and weighted model methods were performed to assess whether there is a causal relationship between gut microbiota and osteoporotic fracture.Sensitivity analyses were performed to test the reliability and robustness of the results.Reverse Mendelian randomization analyses were performed to further validate the causal relationship identified in the forward Mendelian randomization analyses. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The results of this Mendelian randomization analysis indicated a causal relationship between gut microbiota and osteoporotic fracture.Elevated abundance of Actinomycetales[odds ratio(OR)=1.562,95%confidence interval(CI):1.027-2.375,P=0.037),Actinomycetaceae(OR=1.561,95%CI:1.027-2.374,P=0.037),Actinomyces(OR=1.544,95%CI:1.130-2.110,P=0.006),Butyricicoccus(OR=1.781,95%CI:1.194-2.657,P=0.005),Coprococcus 2(OR=1.550,95%CI:1.068-2.251,P=0.021),Family ⅩⅢ UCG-001(OR=1.473,95%CI:1.001-2.168,P=0.049),Methanobrevibacter(OR=1.274,95%CI:1.001-1.621,P=0.049),and Roseburia(OR=1.429,95%CI:1.015-2.013,P=0.041)would increase the risk of osteoporotic fractures in patients.Elevated abundance of Bacteroidia(OR=0.660,95%CI:0.455-0.959,P=0.029),Bacteroidales(OR=0.660,95%CI:0.455-0.959,P=0.029),Christensenellacea(OR=0.725,95%CI:0.529-0.995,P=0.047),Ruminococcaceae(OR=0.643,95%CI:0.443-0.933,P=0.020),Enterorhabdus(OR=0.558,95%CI:0.395-0.788,P=0.001),Eubacterium rectale group(OR=0.631,95%CI:0.435-0.916,P=0.016),Lachnospiraceae UCG008(OR=0.738,95%CI:0.546-0.998,P=0.048),and Ruminiclostridium 9(OR=0.492,95%CI:0.324-0.746,P=0.001)would reduce the risk of osteoporotic fractures in patients.We identified 16 gut microbiota associated with osteoporotic fracture by the Mendelian randomization method.That is,using gut microbiota as the exposure factor and osteoporotic fracture as the outcome variable,eight gut microbiota showed positive causal associations with osteoporotic fracture and another eight gut microbiota showed negative causal associations with osteoporotic fracture.The results of this study not only identify new biomarkers for the early prediction of osteoporotic fracture and potential therapeutic targets in clinical practice,but also provide an experimental basis and theoretical basis for the study of improving the occurrence and prognosis of osteoporotic fracture through gut microbiota in bone tissue engineering.

In 2012, a total of eight medical books were compiled from Tianhui medical bamboo slips unearthed in Chengdu, Sichuan, China, which for the first time, recorded bafa (ba technique) and acupuncture technique. Bafa is only found in Tianhui medical bamboo slips. Based on the records in medical bamboo slips, it is believed that the essential theory of bafa refers to an outlook of life for the harmony between form and spirit, meaning "the heart mind is the monarch of form". It is the initial view of physique centered on five-zang organs. In clinical application, bafa is used for prevention of diseases in four seasons, specially for wubi (five-bi disorders) and wufeng (five-wind disorders), covering a extensive parts of the body. Compared with the stone technique, "bafa must work on meridian points, while stone on meridians". Bafa is often used for deficiency syndrome, while stone technique is for excess syndrome. Hence, these two types of technique should be applied cautiously. It is speculated that bafa is an external therapeutic method based on the theory of meridian medicine in the Han Dynasty.

In recent years,enhanced recovery after surgery(ERAS)has been widely used in clinical practice,aiming to optimize perioperative management measures through evidence-based medicine and reduce the physical and mental trauma,stress reactions,and complications of surgical patients through multidisciplinary collaboration.This paper examined the clinical practice of ERAS from the perspective of medical humanities,reviewed its development and characteristics,and first pointed out that the concept of"minimal harm"laid the medical humanities foundation for ERAS.However,the concept of"minimum harm"faced ethical and realistic challenges in practice,such as differentiated cognition between benefits and non-harm,the tension between generalization and personalization,and the gap between rehabilitation continuity and family care.This paper led into the caregiving perspective of social sciences,proposed"optimal care"as a supplement to the medical humanities concept of ERAS,and introduced its connotation and practice.The combination of"minimal harm"and"optimal care"can provide theoretical guidance for medical humanistic care in ERAS and innovate the practical path of medical humanities into clinical practice.

The emerging and re-emerging arthropod-borne infectious diseases pose a serious threat to global public health security. Field and laboratory studies of arthropods of medical importance are essential and critical for the prevention and control of arthropod-borne infectious diseases. Various institutions or universities in China have been conducting research in the field or laboratory study of arthropods of medical importance, but up to 2023, it is still lacking detailed biosafety guidelines or recommendations that can guide the related work for arthropods of medical importance. In order to proactively address potential biosafety issues in the field or laboratory activities related to arthropods of medical importance, improve the standardization of arthropod biosafety classification, operations, and protection, and ensure the safety of practitioners, an expert consensus on the biosafety recommendation of arthropods of medical importance in field and laboratory has been developed, aiming to guide the future work of arthropods and ensure the national biosafety and biosecurity of China.

Objective To observe the value of intratumoral and peritumoral CT radiomics combined with clinical features for preoperative predicting lymphovascular invasion(LVI)of early lung adenocarcinoma.Methods Totally 252 patients with stage Ⅰ-Ⅱa lung adenocarcinoma were retrospectively enrolled and were divided into positive group(n=63)and negative group(n=189)according to LVI or not,also into training set(n=201)and test set(n=51)at a ratio of 8∶2.Clinical data and CT findings being significantly different between groups were included in multivariate logistic regression analysis to screen independent predictors of early lung adenocarcinoma LVI and to construct CT-clinical model.The best radiomics features were extracted and screened in ROI of tumor(ROI1)and outward of 3(ROI2),5(ROI3)and 7 mm(ROI4)with automatic delineation and expanding algorithm,respectively.K-nearest neighbor(KNN),support vector machine(SVM),decision tree(DT),random forest(RF)and logistic regression(LR)algorithms were used to construct radiomics models.The best classifier algorithm and ROI which could provide more effective radiomics information were selected to construct the best radiomics model,which was used to construct the combined model combining with CT-clinical model.Receiver operating characteristic curves were drawn,and the areas under the curves(AUC)were calculated to evaluate the efficacy of the above models for preoperative predicting early lung adenocarcinoma LVI.Results Solid lesion and CT-N+stage were both independent risk factors for early lung adenocarcinoma LVI(both P＜0.05).Peritumor 5 mm volume(GTPV5)was obtained based on ROI3,and the best radiomics model was the model established based on 14 optimal radiomics feature selected from RFGTPV5.AUC of CT-clinical model,RFGPTV5 model and combined model for preoperative predicting early lung adenocarcinoma LVI was 0.875,0.908 and 0.917 in training set,while was 0.831,0.853 and 0.862 in test set,respectively.Conclusion Intratumoral and peritumoral CT radiomics combined with clinical features had good efficacy for preoperative predicting LVI of early lung adenocarcinoma.Intratumor and peritumor 5 mm ROI could provide more valuable information.
