Objective:To investigate the association between exposed cardia glands and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and identify risk factors for exposed cardia glands.Methods:Patients who underwent gastroscopy at Chengde Central Hospital from December 2023 to March 2024 were prospectively enrolled. Patients with exposed cardia glands meeting inclusion criteria comprised the observation group, while controls had no exposed cardia glands but met identical criteria. Demographic, lifestyle, and endoscopic characteristics were compared between the two groups.Results:A total of 204 patients were included in the observation group, while 310 in the control group. Univariate analysis demonstrated statistically significant differences between the observation group and the control group in the following factors: body mass index, waist circumference, smoking, alcohol consumption, tea/coffee intake, spicy food preference, sleeping posture, use of calcium channel blockers, Helicobacter pylori infection, peptic ulcer disease, and GERD ( P<0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis identified the following independent risk factors for exposed cardia glands: waist circumference ( P=0.012, OR=1.070, 95% CI: 1.015-1.129), alcohol consumption ( P=0.003, OR=2.166, 95% CI: 1.293-3.631), spicy food preference ( P=0.048, OR=1.611, 95% CI: 1.004-2.582), right-side sleeping posture ( P<0.001, OR=3.219, 95% CI: 1.696-6.108), use of calcium channel blockers ( P<0.001, OR=3.871, 95% CI: 2.263-6.621), Helicobacter pylori infection ( P<0.001, OR=3.512, 95% CI: 1.953-6.317), and GERD ( P<0.001, OR=2.905, 95% CI: 1.829-4.613) .Conclusion:Exposed cardia glands demonstrates significant association with GERD. Key independent risk factors include waist circumference, alcohol consumption, spicy diet, right-side sleeping position, calcium channel blockers use, and Helicobacter pylori infection.

Objective:To adapt the English version of exteroceptive body awareness questionnaire (EBA-q) into Chinese, and evaluate its reliability and validity in college students.Methods:English version EBA-q was translated and culturally adapted into Chinese, and the tests were administered from October to December 2024, with valid data collected from 1 071 college students. Item analysis, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, criterion-related validity analysis, and reliability analysis were conducted by SPSS 23.0 and Mplus 8.3 softwares.Results:(1) The Chinese version of EBA-q contained seventeen items across five factors: visual awareness, tactile awareness, body coordination, awareness of body changes and awareness of clothing fit. The five-factor measurement model fitted the data well ( χ2/ df=2.24, CFI=0.95, TLI=0.94, RMSEA=0.05, SRMR=0.06). (2) The EBA-q scores were positively correlated with the scores of noticing, body listening, public self-consciousness, and private self-consciousness ( r=0.46, 0.36, 0.09, 0.25, all P<0.01). (3)The Cronbach's α coefficient, split-half reliability and test-retest reliability of the Chinese version of EBA-q were 0.79, 0.85 and 0.77, respectively(all P<0.01). Conclusion:The Chinese version of the EBA-q has demonstrated good reliability in assessing external body awareness among college students, but its validity requires further verification.

The clinical changes of ulcerative colitis （UC） with the main syndrome of large intestine dampness-heat and the alterations of intestinal flora in UC were summarized to reveal the underlying mechanism. After review of the treatment methods for UC with the syndrome of large intestine dampness-heat， we identified the representative traditional Chinese medicines and compound prescriptions and explored the treatment mechanisms. Furthermore， we probed into the associations of UC and the treatment methods with the intestinal flora. The related articles were retrieved from China National Knowledge Infrastructure （CNKI）. The available studies have shown that Akkermansia muciniphila， Escherichia coli， Enterococcus， and probiotics such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are closely associated with Chinese medicines in UC patients with the syndrome of large intestine dampness-heat. However， due to the shortcomings in clinical research and the susceptibility of intestinal flora to diverse factors， it is still challenging to accurately characterize the intestinal flora changes associated with diseases. Additionally， the research on the mechanisms of Chinese medicines in regulating intestinal flora in UC patients with the syndrome of large intestine dampness-heat remains to be improved. The feasibility of using Chinese medicines and compound prescriptions for precise regulation of intestinal flora in these patients is still debatable. In this regard， scientific issues such as the biological connotation of UC with the syndrome of large intestine dampness-heat and the correlation between syndrome and intestinal flora have become primary research tasks. Additionally， attention should also be paid to the interactions between the intestinal lumen exposure profile of Chinese medicines and intestinal flora. Finally， the thinking of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） and the concepts of modern medicine should be combined for the research on the formulation of TCM regimens for regulating intestinal flora in treating UC.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy of the H-Loop knotless double-row technique and the suture bridge technique in repairing L-shaped rotator cuff tears under arthroscopy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 58 patients with L-shaped rotator cuff injuries who underwent arthroscopic repair at Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, between January 2019 and December 2021. The H-Loop knotless double-row technique was used in 16 cases (8 males and 8 females, mean age 63.69±8.78 years), while the suture bridge technique was used in 42 cases (24 males and 18 females, mean age 61.02±7.02 years). The American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, University of California Los Angeles Shoulder Score (UCLA), Simple Shoulder Test (SST), shoulder range of motion, and muscle strength were evaluated and compared between the two groups one year after surgery.Results:The follow-up period was 12.81±0.98 months for the H-Loop group and 13.29±0.94 months for the suture bridge group. No significant differences were found between the groups in terms of age, sex, dominant hand, preoperative symptom duration, tear shape, tear size, or long head tendon amputation (P>0.05). The operative time was significantly shorter in the H-Loop group 67.50±16.02 minutes compared to the suture bridge group 76.67±13.19 minutes ( t=2.234, P=0.031). Additionally, the number of anchors used was significantly lower in the H-Loop group 2.00±0 compared to the suture bridge group 4.14±0.35 ( t=16.573, P<0.001). The ASES scores increased significantly in both groups: from 57.44±15.91 to 92.00±4.41 in the H-Loop group and from 58.21±16.58 to 87.71±6.19 in the suture bridge group ( F=53.439, P<0.001; F=72.511, P<0.001). Similarly, the UCLA scores improved from 20.63±3.79 to 31.56±3.65 in the H-Loop group and from 20.83±5.78 to 30.36±4.71 in the suture bridge group ( F=57.788, P<0.001; F=50.043, P<0.001). The Constant-Murley scores also showed significant improvement: from 68.50±15.31 to 87.5±8.70 in the H-Loop group and from 66.21±16.51 to 86.33±9.14 in the suture bridge group ( F=6.733, P<0.001; F=30.173, P<0.001). SST scores increased from 6.38±3.76 to 9.06±2.59 in the H-Loop group and from 6.55±3.31 to 9.17±2.45 in the suture bridge group ( F=2.847, P<0.001; F=11.096, P<0.001). The shoulder flexion range of motion increased from 158.75°±21.25° to 178.75°±47.07° in the H-Loop group and from 139.29°±45.12° to 179.76°±3.42° in the suture bridge group ( t=3.814, P=0.002; t=5.877, P<0.001). Shoulder abduction motion increased from 145°±45.46° to 178.75°±3.42° in the H-Loop group and from 135.24°±47.07° to 179.76°±1.54° in the suture bridge group ( t=2.952, P=0.001; t=6.185, P<0.001). Muscle strength improved from 53.36±25.21 N to 73.69±24.09 N in the H-Loop group and from 43.31±24.49 N to 61.8±30.07 N in the suture bridge group ( t=4.916, P<0.001; t=5.623, P<0.001). The ASES score at one year post-surgery was significantly higher in the H-Loop group 92.00±4.41 compared to the suture bridge group 87.71±6.19 ( t=2.529, P=0.014). There were no significant differences in UCLA scores, Constant-Murley scores, SST scores, shoulder motion, or muscle strength between the groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The H-Loop technique provides a good early curative effect. Compared to the traditional suture bridge technique, the H-Loop technique offers a higher early postoperative ASES score, shorter operative time, and fewer anchors required.
