Liver failure is a common severe syndrome of liver diseases with high mortality. The function and structural integrity of the intestinal barrier as an entity are closely associated with the development and progression of liver failure. The cGAS-STING signaling pathway can participate in innate immune response by recognizing DNA produced by pathogen invasion and host cell damage and inducing the production of type I interferon. Numerous studies have shown that activation of the cGAS-STING pathway can significantly impact the cellular structure， mucosal components， and commensal bacteria of the intestinal barrier. This article reviews the interplay between the cGAS-STING signaling pathway and intestinal barrier disruption in liver failure， in order to provide novel insights for the clinical management of liver failure.

The development of health-promoting hospitals is an important part of the Healthy China Initiative， facilitating the transformation of medical institutions from a primary focus on medical and surgical treatments to a patient-centered approach prioritizing public health. To promote the scientific， standardized， and sustainable development of health-promoting hospitals， the Shanghai Municipal Center for Health Promotion， together with Shanghai General Hospital and other institutions， has jointly developed the Standards for the Development of Health⁃promoting Hospitals （Standards） in accordance with the principles of scientific rigor， feasibility， and advancing with the times. The Standards outlines the requirements for the development of health-promoting hospitals across four aspects： organizational and institutional guarantees， creation of a healthy environment， implementation of health education and promotion， and evaluation. It is applicable to all levels and types of public medical institutions in Shanghai， and can also be referred to and implemented by other medical institutions. The introduction of the Standards is of great significance for promoting the formation of a long-term mechanism in health-promoting hospitals. This paper introduces the basis， principles， main content， precautions， and implementation suggestions of the Standards. Taking into account relevant policies and standards， it interprets the technical aspects in the process of developing health-promoting hospitals， which is helpful for medical institutions and their management to better understand and apply the standards in their work.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the role of Tripterygium wilfordii multiglycoside (TGW) in the treatment of psoriatic dermatitis from a cellular immunological perspective. METHODS: Mouse models of psoriatic dermatitis were established by imiquimod (IMQ). Twelve male BALB/c mice were assigned to IMQ or IMQ₊TGW groups according to a random number table. Histopathological changes in vivo were assessed by hematoxylin and eosin staining. Ratios of immune cells and cytokines in mice, as well as PAM212 cell proliferation in vitro were assessed by flow cytometry. Pro-inflammatory cytokine expression was determined using reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS: TGW significantly ameliorated the severity of IMQ-induced psoriasis-like mouse skin lesions and restrained the activation of CD45⁺ cells, neutrophils and T lymphocytes (all P<0.01). Moreover, TGW significantly attenuated keratinocytes (KCs) proliferation and downregulated the mRNA levels of inflammatory cytokines including interleukin (IL)-17A, IL-23, tumor necrosis factor α, and chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 1 (P<0.01 or P<0.05). Furthermore, it reduced the number of γ δ T17 cells in skin lesion of mice and draining lymph nodes (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS TGW improved psoriasis-like inflammation by inhibiting KCs proliferation, as well as the associated immune cells and cytokine expression. It inhibited IL-17 secretion from γ δ T cells, which improved the immune-inflammatory microenvironment of psoriasis.

The structure of the compound was determined using methods such as NMR and mass spectrometry. The tumor cytotoxicity of the compound was evaluated using the CCK-8 method. The results showed that the IC₅₀ of compound 2 on HepG2 cells was 29.83 µmol·L^-1, and compound 9 on HCT116 cells was 27.44 µmol·L^-1.

The correspondence between the five zang organs and the five phases exhibited variations in the previous and the current literature， which is related to the understanding and interpretation of the historical construction of the basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine， and is an important issue that has been debated for a long time in the history of academia but has not been resolved. Through combing and analyzing the relevant literature handed down during the pre-Qin and Han dynasties， which includes Master LYU's Spring and Autumn Annals （《吕氏春秋》）， The Book of Rites： Monthly Ordinances （《月令》）， Huainanzi （《淮南子》）， Records of the Grand Historian： Biography of BIAN Que and CANG Gong （《史记·扁鹊仓公列传》）， The Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor （《黄帝内经》）， as well as excavated literature like the Warring States bamboo slips Tang Zai Chi Men （《汤在啻门》） collected by Tsinghua University， Taichan Shu （《胎产书》） unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Dynasty Tombs， Tianhui Medical Manuscripts （《天回医简》） unearthed from the Han Dynasty Tombs of Lao Guan Mountain， Chengdu， this paper finds that the current five phases are newly proposed by previous medical practitioners on the basis of the objective understanding of the physiology and pathology of the five zang organs， which is a unique contribution of traditional Chinese medicine to the traditional Chinese culture. The lacquered acupuncture figurine unearthed from the Han Dynasty Tombs of Lao Guan Mountain， Tianhui Town， Chengdu， Sichuan Province， is engraved on its back with the inscriptions of "heart， lungs， liver， stomach， and kidneys"， which refer to the back-Shu points of the five zang organs， and the order follows the sequence of “fire - metal - wood - earth - water”， which is the order of the five phases being restricted. It is believed that this is a reflection of the idea of “heart is the head of the five organs” in the early medical scriptures， which can be used as a basis for judging the chronological order of the relevant chapters of the modern version of The Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor. This order is also seen in the Tianhui Medical Manuscripts unearthed from the same tombs as the acupuncture figurine and is preserved in many chapters of the modern version of The Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor.

Objective To explore the relationship and internal path between activities of daily living(ADL),sleep quality and mental health of community elderly people in Shanghai.Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted among community residents aged 60 years and older seeing doctors in community health care center of five streets in Shanghai during Sept to Dec,2021 using convenience sampling.Activities of Daily Living(ADL),Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI)and 10-item Kessler Psychological Distress Scale(K10)were adopted in the survey.Single factor analysis,correlation analysis and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the data.The effect relationship between the variables was tested using Bootstrap's mediated effects test.Results A total of 1 864 participants were included in the study.The average score was 15.53±4.47 for ADL,5.60±3.71 for PSQI and 15.50±6.28 for K10.The rate of ADL impairment,poor sleep quality,poor and very poor mental health of the elderly were 23.6%,27.3%,11.9%and 4.9%,respectively.ADL and sleep quality were all positively correlated with mental health(r=0.321,P＜0.001;r=0.466,P＜0.001);ADL was positively correlated with sleep quality(r=0.294,P＜0.001).Multiple linear results of factors influencing mental health showed that ADL(β= 0.457,95%CI:0.341-0.573),sleep quality(β =0.667,95%CI:0.598-0.737)and mental health were positively correlated(P＜0.001).Sleep quality partially mediated the relationship between ADL and mental health(95%CI:0.078-0.124)with an effect size of 33.0%.Conclusion Sleep quality is a mediator between ADL and mental health among community elderly people.Improving ADL and sleep quality may improve mental health in the population.

Gut-derived IgA + plasma cells are the key to intestinal mucosal immunity.The intestinal flora and diet regulate the production of gut-derived IgA + plasma cells, which not only play an immune role in the intestinal mucosa, but also migrate to tissues or organs outside the intestine to regulate immune and inflammatory reactions by relying on the production of IgA antibodies or the secretion of cytokines and other non-antibody effects, and act as a protective or pathogenic factor in various diseases.The pathogenic effect of intestinal mucosal immune imbalance in IgA nephropathy (IgAN) has been a concern.IgA + plasma cells increase in intestinal lamina propria of high serum IgA mice with the increase of abnormally glycosylated IgA1.The long-lived plasma cells increase, and interleukin-6 is inhibited in IgAN patients.However, it remains unclear whether gut-derived IgA + plasma cells migrate to kidneys to promote disease progression.This article reviews the relevant research progress on the immunopathologic effects and mechanisms of gut-derived IgA + plasma cells in the intestinal mucosa of IgAN.
