With the aging of the global population， osteoporosis （OP） is becoming a major public health concern worldwide. Currently， the commonly used anti-osteoporosis drugs in clinical practice have limited application due to many side effects. Therefore， developing more effective and safer strategies for the prevention and treatment of OP has become a research focus in this field. In recent years， the clinical efficacy and advantages of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） in treating OP have been gradually recognized. With the deepening pharmacological research on TCM for OP prevention and treatment， it is found that the active ingredients of Scutellaria baicalensis can promote bone formation or inhibit bone resorption by regulating signaling pathways， including Wnt/β-catenin， osteoprotegerin （OB）/receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand （RANKL）/RANK （OPG/RANKL/RANK）， and bone morphogenetic protein 2 （BMP-2）/Smad， mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK）， and mammalian target of rapamycin （mTOR）. However， existing research on active ingredients of S. baicalensis for OP treatment is scattered， making it difficult for scholars to gain a systematic understanding of its research and application. This review summarized the literature on the active ingredients of S. baicalensis in OP treatment worldwide， clarified their mechanisms of action， and explored some issues， providing references for the integration of TCM in OP prevention and treatment.

In modern society, sugary foods have become an integral part of many people′s lives. However, excessive sugar consumption has adverse effects on both overall health and oral health, serving as a contributing factor to the global increasing incidence in oral diseases, cardiovascular diseases, cancers, obesity, and diabetes. In response to the health risks related to high-sugar diets, the World Health Organization (WHO) and World Dental Federation (FDI) have proposed initiatives and recommendations, with various governments implementing different policies and strategies to reduce sugar intake. Chinese government has also taken proactive measures. The "Healthy China Action (2019-2030)" initiative introduced by the State Council in 2019 established a crucial benchmark in limiting the average daily intake of added sugar to 25 g per person forward to 2030. Experts from Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the field of oral health have meticulously examined the impacts of sugar reduction on oral health, as well as strategies, methods, and practical considerations related to reducing sugar intake through several meeting and wrote the "Expert consensus: reducing free-sugar for caries prevention", which was subsequently reviewed and revised based on the feedback from multiple stakeholders. They have conducted thorough analyses of global trends in sugar reduction and best practices to provide valuable insights to China for crafting effective policies and strategies on sugar reduction. This consensus mainly includes the classification of free sugars, the latest scientific evidence on dental caries, recommendations from WHO on sugar-sweetened beverage taxes, nutrition labeling, advertising, food reform, adjusting supply systems, education, and promotion strategies, as well as sugar reduction actions taken by various governments around the world. Combining the actual situation in China, policy recommendations and authoritative popular science knowledge on sugar reduction for caries prevention to public are proposed to advocate for experts in multiple fields to focus on sugar reduction for caries prevention, promote the work process, and provide the scientific basis for oral health educators.

Objective:To explore the prominent manifestations and internal associations of the overuse of short-form videos,inattention,and school refusal behavior in junior high school students.Methods:A survey was conducted among 1 106 junior high school students,utilizing the Short-form Video APP Overuse Scale,the Inatten-tion subscale of the Swanson,Nolan,and Pelham Rating Scale(SNAP-Ⅳ),and the School Refusal Behavior Ques-tionnaire to assess the extent of short-form video overuse,inattention,and school refusal behavior.By using the R language for network analysis,the core nodes of individual networks and the bridge nodes connecting the combined networks were analyzed,and the structural differences in networks across genders and grades were compared.Re-sults:The core nodes of the network pertaining to overuse of short-form video,inattention,and school refusal behav-ior were"Using short videos enhances connection with others"(expected influence value=1.03),"easily distract-ed"(expected influence value=1.99),and"school alienation"(expected influence value=0.83).The bridge nodes in the combined network were"defiant behavior"(bridge expected influence value=0.69)and"difficulty sustaining mental activities"(bridge expected influence value=0.47).Analysis of network structure differences i-dentified that the core nodes within the combined networks of the first,second,and third grades of junior high school students were respectively"prioritizing short videos over other activities","defiant behavior",and"academic aptitude".Conclusion:Junior high school students exhibiting overuse of short videos,inattention,or school refusal behavior are characterized by enhanced social connectivity through platforms such as short video apps,a propensity for distraction,and feelings of school alienation,respectively.When these three behaviors coexist,the most salient related factor is oppositional behavior,coupled with difficulties in sustaining cognitive tasks and maintaining con-centration.

Objective:To investigate the factors related to hypothyroidism induced by programmed death(PD)-1 treatment in elderly patients with cancer.Methods:A total of 193 older patients(≥60 years old)with advanced solid tumors who received PD-1 treatment between January 2018 and January 2021 at the Department of Oncology of Xiangyang Central Hospital were included in this study.The patients were divided into two groups based on whether they were diagnosed with hypothyroidism after PD-1 treatment: the hypothyroidism group(36 cases)and the non-hypothyroidism group(157 cases).The clinical data of both groups, including age, gender, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status(ECOG PS), PD-1 inhibitors, thyroid function, and thyroid antibody, were compared to analyze the risk factors associated with hypothyroidism.Results:Among the 193 patients, 36(18.7%)were diagnosed with hypothyroidism.The study found no significant differences between the two groups in terms of age, gender, ECOG PS, tumor type, and PD-1 type(all P>0.05).However, significant differences were observed in the baseline levels of thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH)and thyroid antibody subgroups(both P<0.05).The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that the presence of baseline anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody(TPOAb)( OR=20.256, 95% CI: 5.709-71.868, P<0.001), the presence of both baseline thyroglobulin antibody(TGAb)and TPOAb( OR=5.853, 95% CI: 1.475-23.227, P=0.012), and an increase in baseline TSH levels( OR=3.065, 95% CI: 1.049-8.959, P=0.041)were identified as risk factors for hypothyroidism induced by PD-1 treatment.On the other hand, there was no significant association between the presence of baseline TGAb and the occurrence of hypothyroidism( OR=1.373, 95% CI: 0.353-5.341, P=0.648). Conclusions:The incidence rate of hypothyroidism induced by PD-1 inhibitors is high among elderly patients with cancer.Additionally, the risk of hypothyroidism is higher in patients with elevated baseline TSH and positive TPOAb.Therefore, it is crucial to remain vigilant for the occurrence of hypothyroidism during PD-1 treatment.Timely diagnosis and treatment of hypothyroidism are necessary to minimize the incidence of adverse events.

Objective: To investigate the mechanism of lncRNA HCG18/miR-17-5p/HMGA2 axis regulating the proliferation and metastasis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. Methods: Sixty-two pairs of NSCLC tissues and corresponding para-cancerous tissues collected at Central Hospital of Chengde City from June 2017 to June 2018 were used for this study; in addition, NSCLC cell lines (A549, NCI-H1299, H1650, NCI-H460) and human lung epithelial BEAS-B cells were also collected. mRNA expression levels of HCG18, miR-17-5p and high-mobility group AT-hook 2 (HMGA2) in NSCLC tissues and cell lines were measured by quantitative Real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Si-HCG18, miR-17-5p, miR-17-5p+HCG18 or pcDNA3.1-HMGA2 were transfected into A549 cells and NCI-H460 cells; CCK-8 assay was used to detect the proliferation of transfected cells, Transwell assay was used to detect the migration and invasion ability of cells, and Wb was used to analyze the expressions of HMGA2 and EMT associated proteins (E-cadherin, N-cadherin and vimentin). The target relationships between HCG18 and miR-17-5p, or between miR-17-5p and HMGA2 were confirmed by dual luciferase reporter gene assay. Mice A549 cell xenograft model with HCG18 knockdown was constructed, and the growth of transplanted tumor was observed. Results: lncRNA HCG18 was highly expressed in NSCLC tissues and cells (all P<0.01); HCG18 level was significantly increased in patients at late stage or with lymphnode metastasis; and high HCG18 level was correlated with poor prognosis and low survival rates of NSCLC patients (all P<0.01). Knockdown of HCG18 significantly inhibited NSCLC cell proliferation, migration and invasion (all P<0.01), up-regulated E-cadherin expression but suppressed N-cadherin and vimentin expression (all P<0.01), and the volume of xenograft was obviously decreased (P<0.05). Dual luciferase reporter gene assay confirmed the relationship between HCG18 and miR-17-5p as well as miR-17-5p and HMGA2. miR-17-5p transfection significantly inhibited NSCLC cell proliferation, migration and invasion (all P<0.01), and up-regulated E-cadherin expression, reversely suppressed N-cadherin and vimentin expression (all P<0.01); however, miR-17-5p + HCG18 transfection reversed the effect of miR-17-5p on NSCLCcells.Conclusion:HCG18promotes the proliferationandmigrationofNSCLCcellsthrough regulating miR-17-5p/HMGA2 axis.

Objective To report the clinical outcomes of latissimus dorsus flap used to reconstruct severe trauma on lower leg.Methods From May 2011 to September 2016,12 patients were treated for severe trauma on lower leg at Orthopaedic Department,General Hospital of Rocket Force.They were 10 men and 2 women,aged from 22 to 54 years (average,37.5 years).According to the Gustilo classification,their open fractures were of type ⅢA in 2 cases and of type ⅢB in 10.The areas of soft tissue defect ranged from 15 cm × 8 cm to 35 cm × 12 cm.Their wounds were covered with latissimus dorsus flaps;the dorsal expansion of the ankle joint was reconstructed after their bone infection was controlled.Two flaps were anastomosed directly to the anterior tibial vessels and one flap to the femoral vessels.The other 9 flaps were anatomosed to the lateral circumflex femoral artery,bridging with the greater saphenous vein (average length:32 cm).Ten flaps were neuroanatomosed with the motor branch of common peroneal nerve and 2 with the motor branch of vastus lateralis.The therapeutic outcomes were evaluated in terms of repair of soft tissue defects,control of infection and range of active dorsal flexion of the ankle at neutral position.Results The 12 patients were followed up for an average of 3.5 years (from 1 to 6 years).All the 12 flaps survived and infections were eradicated.The fractures were healed with muscle strength of grade 3 to grade 4.Their ankle extension was reconstructed.Their limbs were preserved with satisfactory limb function.The bone exposures of 5 cm × 3 cm and 6 cm × 3 cm in area after debridement respectively in 2 cases of Gustilo type ⅢA were covered with latissimus dorsus flaps.The range of active dorsal flexion of the ankle at neutral position increased from preoperative 10.5° to postoperative 19.1° on average.Conclusion In treatment of severe trauma on lower leg,latissimus dorsus flaps can be used to repair skin wound,control infection and reconstruct ankle function simultaneously,with advantages of reduced operative procedures,a high rate of limb preservation,and better function recovery.

Objective To investigate the clinical correlative factors and CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) characteristics of secondary changes of chest in different types of acute pulmonary embolism. Methods One hundred and fifty-two cases with acute pulmonary embolism diagnosed by CTPA between January 2015 and October 2016 were retrospectively analyzed.They were divided into central(70 cases)and peripheral (82 cases) groups according to the embolization site. The clinical characteristics (including gender, age, risk stratification, etc.), laboratory findings (including D-dimer, etc.) and secondary imaging findings(including enlargement of the main pulmonary artery and enlargement of right heart,etc.)of the two groups were recorded. The parameters including patient age, body mass index, length of hospital stay and laboratory findings between the two groups were compared using independent sample t test or Mann-Whitney U test. The other variables including the clinical characteristics such as gender, smoking history, etc. and secondary imaging findings between the two groups were analyzed by χ2 test and Fisher exact test.Results The high,moderate and low-risk patients were 7,33,30 cases,respectively in the central group,and 2,16, 64 cases, respectively in the peripheral group. The percentages of moderate and high-risk patients in the central group were higher than peripheral group,the difference of risk stratification between the two groups was statistically significant(P<0.001).In the choice of clinical treatment,there were 5 cases of thrombolytic therapy in the central group and 0 cases in the peripheral group, and the difference was statistically significant (P= 0.019). The other differences of clinical characteristics such as gender and age were not statistically significant(P>0.05).The cardiac troponin I was 0.03(0.01,0.11)μg/L in the central group and 0.01 (0,0.04) μg/L in the peripheral group, and the difference was statistically significant (Z=-2.799, P=0.005).The other laboratory findings such as D-dimer were not statistically significant between the two groups (P>0.05). Among the various secondary changes of the chest on CTPA, the cases of enlargement of the main pulmonary artery,enlargement of right heart,pulmonary infarction,mosaic perfusion were 47,41, 23, 24 cases, respectively in the central group, and 20, 11, 11, 15 cases, respectively in the peripheral group.The percentages of these signs were higher in the central group than peripheral group,the differences were statistically significant (χ2= 28.002,34.214,8.221,5.064, P<0.05). Conclusions Central acute pulmonary embolism is more dangerous and more likely to cause a series of secondary changes.Determining the type of embolism has certain value for clinical doctors to judge the prognosis and choose the treatment.
