Professor LI Zhidao puts forward the application of "group acupoints" in his clinical practice by imitating the mutual reinforcement and mutual assistance of Chinese herbal medicine. It is based on the theory as "where is the acupoint located, what are the indications of this acupoint"; and consists with the specific actions of ancient needling techniques at acupoints. The distribution of "group acupoints" is in line with the "located by the region division of the head and trunk, and by the meridians on the four extremities", which is recorded in Zhenjiu Jiayi Jing (the Systematic Classic of Acupuncture and Moxibustion). It shows "the importance of the relationship between acupoints and zangfu", and "the emphasis on the distribution of nerves and muscles" respectively. In clinical practice, controlling needling sensation is the essence of this technique at "group acupoints", the integration of acupoints and needling technique is the basic requirement, and the step-by-step needling manipulation is critical for obtaining the therapeutic effect. "Group acupoints" combined with specific needling technique advance the application efficiency and the effect of acupoints.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common respiratory emergency, but current clinical treatment remains at the level of symptomatic support and there is a lack of effective targeted treatment measures. Our previous study confirmed that inhalation of hydrogen gas can reduce the acute lung injury of ARDS, but the application of hydrogen has flammable and explosive safety concerns. Drinking hydrogen-rich liquid or inhaling hydrogen gas has been shown to play an important role in scavenging reactive oxygen species and maintaining mitochondrial quality control balance, thus improving ARDS in patients and animal models. Coral calcium hydrogenation (CCH) is a new solid molecular hydrogen carrier prepared from coral calcium (CC). Whether and how CCH affects acute lung injury in ARDS remains unstudied. In this study, we observed the therapeutic effect of CCH on lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced acute lung injury in ARDS mice. The survival rate of mice treated with CCH and hydrogen inhalation was found to be comparable, demonstrating a significant improvement compared to the untreated ARDS model group. CCH treatment significantly reduced pulmonary hemorrhage and edema, and improved pulmonary function and local microcirculation in ARDS mice. CCH promoted mitochondrial peripheral division in the early course of ARDS by activating mitochondrial thioredoxin 2 (Trx2), improved lung mitochondrial dysfunction induced by LPS, and reduced oxidative stress damage. The results indicate that CCH is a highly efficient hydrogen-rich agent that can attenuate acute lung injury of ARDS by improving the mitochondrial function through Trx2 activation.

At present,the commonly used clinical protocols of oral comestic restoration are mostly based on the aes-thetic indicators proposed by Western developed countries(referred to as Western aesthetics).Mechanically copying the Western aesthetic scheme,ignoring the difference between it and the Chinese oral aesthetic indicators(referred to as Chinese aesthetics),is unable to effectively support personalized cosmetic restoration diagnosis and treatment.In addition,new technologies and new solutions for cosmetic restoration,which are developing rapidly in recent years,are emerging one after another,but many popular concepts are confusing and lack of proper hierarchical diagnosis and treatment norms,and there is indeed an urgent need for discussion and clarity.From the perspective of serving clinical application,this paper discusses the deficiencies of the Chinese translation of the word"aesthetics",the diffe-rence and connection between aesthetics and cosmetolo-gy,and the relationship between cosmetic restoration and fixed restoration.It also discusses the difference be-tween anterior teeth,esthetic zone and exposed zone,the diagnostic and therapeutic value of oral aesthetic analysis,as well as the application methods of desensitization,suggestion,and other therapies in difficult oral cosmetic restoration cases.We further introduce the decision tree and the clinical pathway for restoration and reconstruction of teeth in ex-posed zone guided by aesthetic analysis,and introduce the clinical process of aesthetic analysis and evaluation,the clinical triclassification of oral cosmetic restoration,and the corresponding clinical classification diagnosis and treat-ment points.

At present,the commonly used clinical protocols of oral cosmetic restoration are mostly based on the oral aesthetic indexes proposed by Western developed countries(referred to as Western aesthetics),which are different from the oral aesthetic indexes unique to Chinese people(referred to as Chinese aesthetics).In the design of restoration schemes and the evaluation of restoration effects,these differences have a large or small effect on the doctor-patient-tech-nology triad.Improper handling could directly weaken the cooperation efficiency of the three parties,reduce patient satis-faction,and even lead to medical disputes in serious cases.From doing a good job of oral cosmetic restoration in China,the connotative characteristics of Chinese oral aesthetics are introduced in this paper,and the value of oral aesthetic anal-ysis in diagnosis and treatment is discussed.The process and method of aesthetic analysis and assessment through the modified Chinese psychosocial impact of dental aesthetics questionnaire and the evaluation ruler of the expected value of oral cosmetic restoration are further introduced in detail.

As a new clinical trial mode,decentralized & digitalized clinical trial(DCT)is based on digital health equipment and uses internet and artificial intelligence technologies to complete the screening,registration,randomization,intervention,evaluation and follow-up of subjects,which is helpful to improve efficiency and reduce trial costs.The DCT mode has been applied to evaluate the treatment and management effects of cardiovascular diseases such as atrial fibrilla-tion,heart failure,coronary heart disease,and hypertension,showing broad development prospects and application space.This article will provide a brief introduction to representative DCT in the global cardiovascular disease field,and look for-ward to the application prospects of this model,providing reference and guidance for accelerating the development of cardio-vascular DCT in China.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of hydrogen on the expression of hippocampal cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRP) after cardiac arrest-resuscitation in rats.Methods:Ninety clean-grade healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 280-320 g, were randomly divided into 3 groups: sham group (group Sham, n=20), cardiac arrest-cardiopulmonary resuscitation group (group CPR, n=35), and hydrogen-rich saline group (group H 2, n=35). Cardiac arrest was induced by transoesophageal cardiac pacing followed by CPR in group CPR.Only femoral arteriovenous puncture and tracheal intubation were performed in group Sham.Hydrogen-rich saline 5 ml/kg was intraperitoneally injected immediately after recovery of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and at 6 and 12 h after ROSC in group H 2 , while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead in the other two groups.Neuro-functional deficit was assessed using neurologic deficit scores (NDS) at 1 and 3 days after ROSC.The animals were sacrificed immediately after intubation in group Sham and at 6 h and 1, 2 and 3 days after ROSC in CPR and H 2 groups, and the hippocampal tissues were obtained to detect the expression of nuclear and cytoplasmic CIRP by Western blot. Results:Compared with group Sham, NDS was significantly decreased at each time point after ROSC in group CPR and group H 2, the expression of nuclear CIRP was significantly down-regulated at 1, 2 and 3 days after ROSC, and the expression of cytoplasmic CIRP was up-regulated at 1 and 2 days after ROSC in group CPR, and the expression of nuclear CIRP was significantly down-regulated at each time point after ROSC, and the expression of cytoplasmic CIRP was down-regulated at 2 and 3 days after ROSC in group H 2 ( P<0.05). Compared with group CPR, NDS was significantly increased at each time point after ROSC, the expression of nuclear CIRP was down-regulated at 6 h after ROSC, and the expression of cytoplasmic CIRP was down-regulated at 1 and 2 days after ROSC in group H 2 ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The nechanism by which hydrogen reduces brain injury after cardiac arrest-resuscitation may be related to down-regulating hippocampal CIRP expression in rats.

Objective To investigate the effect of dezocine combined with sufentanil on postop-erative analgesia and side effects in the upper-abdominal surgery and hip replacement surgery,and ex-plore the potential mechanisms.Methods One hundred patients scheduled for selective upper-abdomi-nal operation and hip replacement surgery were randomly divided into group dezocine (group D), dezocine 0.3 mg/kg combined with sufentanil 1 μg/kg group(group DS1),dezocine 0.3 mg/kg com-bined with sufentanil 1.5 μg/kg group(group DS2)and dezocine 0.3 mg/kg combined with sufentanil 2 μg/kg group(group DS3).Analgesia was maintained by remifentanil 6-8 μg·kg-1·h-1 under total intravenous anesthesia.Patients were administered 5 μg sufentanil during sewing the skin.Visual Analogue Score (VAS)of both silence and 90°turn over situation,Ramsay score,and adverse effects at 1 h (T1 ),4 h (T2 ),8 h (T3 ),12 h (T4 ),24 h (T5 ),36 h (T6 ),48 h (T7 )after the operation were recorded respectively.Results The total amount of sufentanil and dezocine of group DS1 group showed a significant higher than the other three groups (P <0.05).The VAS in silence of group DS1 were higher than group DS3 at T1-T3 (P <0.05).There was no significant difference in VAS under 90°turn over situation.The side effect of group DS3 were higher than the other three groups (P <0.05).Conclusion Dezocine combined with sufentanil for postoperative patient-controlled intravenous analgesia(PCIA)is effective and safe in patients undergoing upper-abdominal surgery and hip replace-ment surgery,and while dezocine 0.3 mg/kg combined with sufentanil 1.5 μg/kg,it has the best effect of postoperative analgesia and least side effects.

Objective To explore the relationship between aggressive behavior and attachment styles for adult prisoners.Methods A sample of 413 criminals filled out measures for Aggression Questionnaire and Adult Attachment Scale.Results There existed significant differences of anxiety,anger,hostility,physical attacks and the total score of AQ among different criminals type (F =2.80,5.80,5.15,16.82,10.69,P ＜ 0.001 or P ＜ 0.05).And there existed significant differences of anxiety,anger,hostility,physical attacks,verbal attacks and the total score of AQ among different adult attachment style (F =18.14,34,17,7,83,22,75,P ＜ 0.01).The close dimension of AAS was significantly negatively related with anger,hostility,physical attacks and the total score of AQ (r =-0.15--0.20,P ＜ 0.01).And the anxiety dimension of AAS was significantly positively related with anger,hostility,physical attacks,verbal attacks and the total score of AQ(r =0.30-0.52,P ＜ 0.01).Regression analysis found that anxiety dimension and close dimension of AAS were fairly effective variables in the prediction of the criminal attacks.Conclusion There are close relationships between aggressive behavior and adult attachment for criminals.The anxiety dimension and close dimension make a certain prediction to the criminal attacks.
