The global communication order has been profoundly affected by the revolution in communication technologies in recent years， and the evolution of technology and paradigm revolution has ushered in the era of intelligent communication. A deeply mediatized society has subversively changed the information communication patterns of human society and influenced the forms of resource allocation. With the emergence of novel technological terms such as “cloud computing” “metaverse” and “virtual reality” current mainstream communication and media studies tend to categorize media into the virtual world， often ignoring its ubiquitous， profound， and complex materiality. Across different digital social contexts， the “materiality” of the communication activities for traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） culture， such as the targeted objects， the communication venues， and the relied-upon bodies， profoundly influenced their occurrence， understanding， and continuation. Starting from the media materiality of TCM and regarding it as the “carrier” of excellent traditional Chinese culture， this paper explored the existing problems and countermeasures in the international communication of TCM culture in the digital era. It aimed to transcend media-centrism and strive to explore an innovative paradigm for the digital international communication path of TCM culture featuring “embodiment-embedment-elevation.”

"Spirit turns but does not reverse； if it reverses， it ceases to turn" originates from the Plain Questions： Discussion on Essential Jade Plates （《素问·玉版论要篇》）. It profoundly summarizes the objectivity of life as a phenomenon subject to the laws of the universe and nature， while also expressing the subjectivity of individuals possessing systematic， stable， and ordered biological rhythms. In light of relevant ancient philosophical insights， the theory of "spirit turns but does not reverse； if it reverses， it ceases to turn" embodies the principles of constant motion in life， change according to dao （道）， orderly progression， and the rule that reversal disrupts continuity. In clinical diagnosis and treatment， one should adopt the therapeutic principle of regulating spirit to promote "spirit turning". Guiding along the trend and acting in accordance with the natural momentum must be adopted to maintain the operation of spirit turning. Adhering to constancy while recognizing variability， and prioritizing harmony above all， should be employed to ensure the orderly progress of spirit turning. Regulating qi movement serves as the driving force behind facilitating spirit turning. This will provide clinical insights and theoretical foundations for treating diseases through the concept of "regulating spirit".

OBJECTIVE: Humans are exposed to complex mixtures of environmental chemicals and other factors that can affect their health. Analysis of these mixture exposures presents several key challenges for environmental epidemiology and risk assessment, including high dimensionality, correlated exposure, and subtle individual effects. METHODS: We proposed a novel statistical approach, the generalized functional linear model (GFLM), to analyze the health effects of exposure mixtures. GFLM treats the effect of mixture exposures as a smooth function by reordering exposures based on specific mechanisms and capturing internal correlations to provide a meaningful estimation and interpretation. The robustness and efficiency was evaluated under various scenarios through extensive simulation studies. RESULTS: We applied the GFLM to two datasets from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). In the first application, we examined the effects of 37 nutrients on BMI (2011-2016 cycles). The GFLM identified a significant mixture effect, with fiber and fat emerging as the nutrients with the greatest negative and positive effects on BMI, respectively. For the second application, we investigated the association between four pre- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and gout risk (2007-2018 cycles). Unlike traditional methods, the GFLM indicated no significant association, demonstrating its robustness to multicollinearity. CONCLUSION GFLM framework is a powerful tool for mixture exposure analysis, offering improved handling of correlated exposures and interpretable results. It demonstrates robust performance across various scenarios and real-world applications, advancing our understanding of complex environmental exposures and their health impacts on environmental epidemiology and toxicology.

Abstract In order to understand and analyze the current standards and application of school desks and chairs for primary and secondary schools, and to promote the healthy growth of primary and secondary school students. The article conducts a comprehensive review of the functional and dimensional standards for school furniture both domestically and internationally, and objectively analyzes the current utilization and existing issues concerning desks and chairs in schools. It further explores the multifaceted factors that influence the allocation of desks and chairs, and proposes effective countermeasures, so as to provide a reference for the risk factors of common diseases related to desks and chairs, such as myopia and abnormal spinal curvature.

With reference to the Information and Documentation-Resource Description (GB/T 3792-2021) and Bibliographical Description for Ancient Chinese Books (GB/T 3792.7-2008) and other cataloging standards and rules, drawing on the practical experience of cataloging ancient TCM books, Bibliographical Cataloging for Ancient TCM Books was formulated. This standard specifies the entry items and their order of ancient TCM books, cataloging identifier, cataloging text, cataloging information source, and cataloging item details. The standard can provide standardized and unified guiding principles and methods for the work of ancient TCM books, and promote the sharing and utilization of ancient TCM books.

Objective: To explore the correlation between blind box consumption and non-suicidal self-injury(NSSI) among middle school students, so as to provide new theoretical insights for the prevention of NSSI. Methods: Using stratified random cluster sampling method, 2 807 middle school students aged 11-19 years old were selected from Hunan and Gansu provinces from November 2024 to March 2025. The blind box consumption questionnaire and Functional Assessment of Self mutilation Scale were administered to collect data on students blind box consumption frequency, as well as NSSI behavior. The χ 2 test was used to compare differences in the distribution of NSSI across different groups. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to infer the correlation and gender differences. Results: A total of 15.3% of middle school students reported having at least one NSSI incident in the past year, among which the reported rates of occasional NSSI (1-4 times) and repeated NSSI (≥5 times) were 5.5% and 9.8% respectively. The results of univariate analysis showed that there was statistically significant different in NSSI distribution among groups with different blind box consumption frequencies ( χ 2=55.72, P <0.05). After adjusting for confounding factors such as age, gender, school stage, family type, discipline style, pocket money, impulsiveness and emotion management, the results of multiple Logistic regression models showed that compared with the group without blind box consumption, the risks of "occasional NSSI" and "repeated NSSI" were higher in the group with blind box consumption ( OR =1.54, 1.66), and the frequency of blind box consumption(continous variable) was positively correlated with the risks of "occasional NSSI" and "repeated NSSI" among middle school students ( OR =1.26, 1.34)(all P <0.05).After gender stratification, the consumption behavior of blind boxes and the frequency of blind box consumption (continuous variable) of boys and girls were associated with "repeated NSSI"(boys: OR =1.61, 1.32, girls: OR =1.65, 1.35), and only in the male group was a correlation between blind box consumption and "occasional NSSI" observed ( OR =2.27) (all P <0.05). Conclusion Blind box consumption may be related to NSSI among middle school students, and there are gender differences in its correlation with NSSI among middle school students.

Postoperative infection of internal fixation of closed fractures the lower limbs in adults represents a devastating complication, characterized by diagnostic challenges, prolonged treatment duration and high disability rates. Current management of these infections faces multiple challenges, such as difficulties in early accurate diagnosis, and various controversies about the treatment plan, leading to poor overall diagnosis and treatment results. To address these issues, based on evidence-based medicine and principles with emphasis on scientific rigor, clinical applicability and innovation, the Trauma Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Orthopedics Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Trauma Orthopedics and Polytrauma Group of the Resuscitation and Emergency Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association have collaboratively organized a panel of relevant experts to develop the Guideline for diagnosis and treatment of infection after internal fixation of closed lower limb fractures in adults ( version 2025). The guideline proposed 10 recommendations, aiming to provide a foundation for standardized diagnosis and treatment of postoperative infection in adults with closed lower limb fractures.

Vertebral refracture following percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) is commonly seen in elderly patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures (OTLCF). It can lead to recurrent pain, loss of vertebral height, progression of kyphosis, and even neurological dysfunction, significantly impairing patients′ quality of life. Current diagnosis and treatment face multiple challenges, including high misdiagnosis rate, difficulty in choosing between surgical and non-surgical treatment options, lack of standardized surgical protocols, interference from intralesional bone cement during procedures, inadequate stability of internal fixation in osteoporotic bone, and suboptimal compliance of anti-osteoporotic therapy. Establishing a standardized diagnostic and therapeutic framework is urgently needed. To standardize the management process and improve outcomes for vertebral refractures after PVA in elderly OTLCF patients, Spinal Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the field to develop Guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of vertebral refracture after percutaneous vertebral augmentation in elderly patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures ( version 2025), based on current literature and clinical experience, and adhering to principles of scientific rigor and clinical applicability. A total of 11 recommendations were proposed, encompassing diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of vertebral refracture after PVA in elderly patients with OTLCF, aiming to provide a foundation for a standardized management.
