[Objective]To summarize the academic experience of Professor FAN Yongsheng,one of the first national famous traditional Chinese medicine masters,in treating the damp-heat syndrome of rheumatism.[Methods]Through the follow-up study,collecting and organizing Professor FAN Yongsheng's clinical cases of damp-heat syndrome of rheumatism,combined with the relevant ancient books and literature,summarizing the academic experience of Professor FAN Yongsheng in the diagnosis and treatment of damp-heat syndrome of rheumatism by Sanjiao method,focusing on the theoretical origin of Sanjiao method,the division of upper,middle and lower Jiao,as well as the practice of the clinical evidence,and added with the evidence of the experimental cases for support.[Results]The term Sanjiao originated in Huangdi Neijing.ZHANG Zhongjing deepened the concept of the Qi transformation of Sanjiao.XUE Xue pioneered the syndrome differentiation of the Sanjiao framework in Treatise on Dampness and Heat.WU Jutong systematically established the Sanjiao syndrome differentiation system in Systematic Differentiation of Warm Diseases.Professor FAN Yongsheng believes that the etiology of rheumatism with damp-heat syndrome is mostly attributed to insufficient endowment,exogenous or endogenous damp-heat obstruction in the Sanjiao,which results in the evil of damp-heat disturbing the upper-Jiao,trapping in the middle-Jiao and injecting into the lower-Jiao.When treating the disease,the parts of the Sanjiao where the damp-heat is located should be recognized.The treatment according to Sanjiao should be applied respectively with"propagation and opening""clearing"and"osmosis",and at the same time,the overall situation should be taken into account,and the three methods are often used together to eliminate the damp-heat and facilitate the Sanjiao.Three clinical cases demonstrated significant efficacy:Case 1 involved damp-heat clouding the upper-Jiao,treated with heat-clearing,damp-resolving,lung-ventilating and cough-relieving methods;Case 2 featured with damp-heat lodging in the middle-Jiao,managed with heat-clearing,spleen-strengthening and liver-soothing therapies;Case 3 presented damp-heat diffusing to the lower-Jiao,addressed through heat-clearing,damp-draining and collateral-unblocking strategies.All cases achieved satisfactory clinical results.[Conclusion]Professor FAN Yongsheng's academic experience in treating damp-heat syndrome of rheumatism by flexibly utilizing the Sanjiao method,which is based on inheritance,provides a theoretical basis and practical paradigm for the clinical management of rheumatism with damp-heat syndrome and is worth promoting and applying in the clinic.

Objective To explore the molecular mechanism of Guben Zhike Pingchuan Granules in treating cough variant asthma(CVA)through network pharmacology and molecular docking technology;To use CVA model rats for validation;To provide a basis for the basic research and clinical application of Guben Zhike Pingchuan Granules.Methods TCMSP and BATMAN-TCM databases were used to retrieve the active components and corresponding targets of Guben Zhike Pingchuan Granules,and CVA disease targets were screened using OMIM,GeneCards,DrugBank,PharmGKB databases to obtain drug disease intersection targets.Cytoscape 3.10.1 software was used to construct the drug-component-target network and screen the key components;STRING database was used to construct protein-protein interaction(PPI)network and screen core targets;GO and KEGG enrichment analysis was conducted using DAVID platform;AutoDock Vina software was used to conduct molecular docking on the core targets and key components with high degree value respectively.CVA rat model was established by smoking combined with intraperitoneal and subcutaneous multi-point injection of ovalbumin.The rats were randomly divided into blank group,model group,montelukast sodium tablets group,Guben Zhike Pingchuan Granules low-and high-dosage groups.The groups received corresponding medicine for 15 d.HE staining was used to observe the morphology of lung tissue;ELISA was used to detect the contents of serum interleukin-1β(IL-1β)and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α);immunohistochemistry was used to detect the positive expressions of AKT,EGFR and NFKB1 in lung tissue.Results A total of 9 996 active components and 1 119 potential targets of Guben Zhike Pingchuan Granules,2 740 CVA targets,467 drug and disease intersection targets were screened out;PPI network topology analysis showed that AKT1,STAT3,EGFR,NFKB1 and MTOR were the core targets;the results of enrichment analysis showed that Guben Zhike Pingchuan Granules played an anti-inflammatory role in the treatment of CVA mainly through the interaction of EGFR/PI3K-Akt/NF-κB signaling pathway;molecular docking showed good binding ability between the core targets and key components,with a binding energy of<-7.0 kcal/mol for EGFR and Quercetin.Animal experiment results showed that after intervention with Guben Zhike Pingchuan Granules,the alveolar walls of the lung tissue in the model rats narrowed,the size of the alveoli became uniform,lymphocyte infiltration improved significantly,bronchioles contracted,and mucus in the lumen decreased;compared with the model group,the serum contents of IL-1β and TNF-α decreased in Guben Zhike Pingchuan Granules low-and high-dosage groups and montelukast sodium tablets group,and the positive expressions of AKT,EGFR and NFKB1 in lung tissue decreased(P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusion Guben Zhike Pingchuan Granules may mediate the inflammatory response through the EGFR/PI3K-Akt/NF-κB signaling pathway,significantly improve the structural damage of CVA lung tissue,inhibit inflammatory cell infiltration,down-regulate the expressions of inflammatory factors,and thus exert therapeutic effects on CVA.

Robot-assisted surgery with its advantages such as three-dimensional high-definition vision, dexterous robotic arms, and tremor filtration, is increasingly being applied to complex radical gastrectomy. However, the role of the surgical assistant remains crucial during the procedure. The assistant is responsible for tasks outside the console, including adjusting robotic arms, changing instruments, exposing the surgical field, and addressing unexpected situations. The technical proficiency of the assistant and their collaboration efficiency with the primary surgeon directly impact the smoothness of surgery and patients' outcomes. With the expansion of robot-assisted surgical indications, the establishment of a standardized training system and the optimization of team collaboration models have become urgent challenges to address. This article draws on the author's practical experience as an assistant in robot-assisted gastric cancer surgeries, conducting an in-depth analysis of the responsibilities and operational skills of surgical assistants in robot-assisted procedures. The aim is to develop a relatively comprehensive set of operational guidelines for surgical assistants in robot-assisted radical gastrectomy, providing valuable references for enhancing the overall efficiency of surgical teams and improving surgical outcomes.

Ubiquitination represents a critical post-translational modification of proteins,capable of indu-cing alterations in the stability,cellular localisation and activity of substrate proteins.Consequently,it plays a pivotal role in a multitude of essential cellular processes.The intracellular parasite Legionella pneumophila releases in excess of 300 effector proteins into its host cell via its distinctive type IVB secre-tion system.These effector proteins regulate the physiological activity of host cells,thereby facilitating the growth and reproduction of Legionella and ultimately resulting in Legionella infection in humans.In the context of host infection,a number of effector proteins have been identified as regulators of the host cell ubiquitination system.Together with SidJ,SdjA,DupA/DupB,LnaB,and MavL,SidEs precisely and dynamically modulate the ubiquitination pathway of host cells,thereby providing a suitable environment for L.pneumophila to survive.The clarification of the biological functions of LnaB and MavL has led to the elucidation of this complex non-canonical ubiquitination regulatory cycle in L.pneumophila.This re-view presents a summary of the structural and enzymatic basis of non-classical ubiquitination mediated by SidEs,along with an examination of its biological significance in regulating endoplasmic reticulum rear-rangement and promoting Legionella-containing vacuole formation in host cells;the mechanism by which SidJ/SdjA regulates the phosphoribosylation activity of SidEs;and DupA/DupB,LnaB and MavL reverse the ubiquitination of host substrate proteins by SidEs through a multi-step catalytic reaction.In conclu-sion,this study will provide a reference for further understanding the detailed mechanism and biological significance of this type of non-classical ubiquitination modification,as well as offering insights into the pathogenic mechanism of L.pneumophila.

Objective: To investigate the nutritional status and influencing factors among Tibetan and Mongolian children and adolescents aged 7-18 years in high-altitude regions, so as to provide evidence for early prevention and control of malnutrition in this population. Methods: From May to June 2022, a cluster sampling method was employed to recruit 1 019 Tibetan and Mongolian children and adolescents aged 7-18 years from two primary and secondary schools in Golmud City. Physical examinations, dietary frequency questionnaires, and physical activity assessments were conducted. Nutritional status was classified as obesity, combined overweight/obesity, underweight, or central obesity according to national standards including Screening for Overweight and Obesity among School-age Children and Adolescents, Screening Standard for Malnutrition of School-age Children and Adolescents, Blue Book on Obesity Prevention and Control in China. Chi-square tests, t-test and Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with different nutritional statuses. Results: The detection rates of obesity, combined overweight/obesity, underweight, and central obesity were 8.0%, 18.1%, 5.2%, and 19.7%, respectively. The height of children and adolescents across all age groups was generally lower than the national standard values. Tibetan participants exhibited significantly lower height-for-age Z-scores (HAZ)(9-10, 13-17 years, Z =2.01, 2.78, 4.16, 3.38, 4.12, 3.63, 3.00) and BMI-for-age Z-scores (BAZ) compared to Mongolian participants ( Z =-2.95, -2.47, -2.31, -2.89, -2.14, -2.17)( P < 0.05 ). Multivariate Logistic regression revealed that Mongolian children and adolescents had higher risks of obesity ( OR =2.20) and combined overweight/obesity ( OR = 2.18 ) ( P <0.05). Additionally, insufficient moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) was associated with an increased risk of central obesity ( OR =1.48, P <0.05), compared with children and adolescents who meet the standard of MVPA. Conclusions The rates of overweight and obesity among Tibetan and Mongolian children and adolescents in Golmud City are higher, influenced by multiple factors. Nutrition interventions and physical activity strategies tailored to ethnic characteristics should be implemented, with emphasis on promoting MVPA to improve nutritional outcomes in this population.

AIM To investigate the mechanism of Shaoyao Gancao Decoction in preventing meglumine diatrizoate-induced post-ERCP pancreatitis in rats through autophagy regulation.METHODS The rats were randomized into the normal group,the model group,the low-dose and high-dose Shaoyao Gancao Decoction(1.5,3.0 g/kg),and the indomethacin suppository group.A rat model of post-ERCP pancreatitis was induced by meglumine diatrizoate injection into the pancreatic duct under continuous pressure.The rats had their pancreatic tissues stained with HE to observe the pathological alterations,inflammatory cell infiltration,hemorrhage and necrosis;their serum levels of IL-1β,IL-6,IL-8,TNF-α,AMS,and IL-10 identified by ELISA;their autophagic vacuoles in pancreatic acinar cells observed by transmission electron microscopy;their pancreatic protein expressions of Beclin1,LC3B,p62,TRAF2 and p-JNK detected by IHC and Western blot;and their pancreatic mRNA expressions of Beclin1 and TRAF2 detected by RT-qPCR.RESULTS Compared with the model group,the high-dose Shaoyao Gancao Decoction group displayed no obvious hemorrhage;improvement in edema of acinar and interstitial cells;obviously less cellular inflammatory infiltration;substantially decreased serum levels of IL-1β,IL-6,TNF-α and AMS(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);drastically reduced amount of autophagosomes in acinar cells;and down-regulated expressions of autophagy-related proteins Beclin1,LC3,p62,TRAF2 and p-JNK(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).CONCLUSION Shaoyao Gancao Decoction can prevent post-ERCP pancreatitis by ameliorating pancreatic tissue injury,decreasing serum inflammatory response level,and interfering with abnormal autophagy of pancreatic acinar cells.Its molecular mechanism may involve inhibition of TRAF2 protein expression and modulation of p-JNK activation.

Objective:To investigate the effect of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy on the sense of personal control and illness perception of young and middle-aged patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), so as to provide theoretical and practical guidance for the psychological care of patients after PCI.Methods:A randomized controlled trial was conducted. From January 2022 to December 2023, young and middle-aged patients after PCI admitted to the Department of Cardiology, Qinhuai Medical District, Eastern Theater Command General Hospital of the Chinese People′s Liberation Army were selected as the research subjects by convenient sampling method, patients were divided into the experimental group and the control group by the random number table method. The control group was given routine nursing, and the experimental group was given mindfulness-based cognitive therapy on the basis of routine nursing. The Personal Mastery Scale (PMS), Cardiac Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (CSEQ), and Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ) were used to evaluate personal sense of control, self-efficacy, and illness perception before and after the intervention respectively.Results:A total of 80 young and middle-aged patients after PCI were included. There were 40 cases in the control group, including 25 males and 15 females, aged (49.43 ± 5.55) years old. There were 40 cases in the experimental group, including 19 males and 21 females, aged (49.03 ± 4.19) years old. Before the intervention, there was no statistically significant difference in the PMS, CSEQ and BIPQ scores between the two groups of patients (all P>0.05). After the intervention, the PMS, CSEQ scores of the patients in the experimental group were (23.03 ± 2.54), (45.85 ± 8.16) points respectively, which were higher than (21.95 ± 2.28), (39.05 ± 8.78) points in the control group, the BIPQ score of the patients in the experimental group was(39.63 ± 8.12) points, which was lower the (45.45 ± 8.64) points in the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( t=-2.00, -3.59, 3.11, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy can effectively improve the sense of personal control and self-efficacy of young and middle-aged patients after PCI, reduce the sense of threat to the disease.

Objective:To explore the establishment, implementation, and application effect of the annual progressive assessment mode for standardized training of resident physicians in a medical laboratory base.Methods:Since 2020, the base has improved the annual progressive assessment system through assessment system establishment, question bank construction, routine assessment, rotation examination, and annual examination. This new assessment mode was adopted for the residency trainees enrolled in the base after 2020. The control group consisted of seven residency trainees enrolled before 2020, while the experimental group comprised 13 trainees enrolled in 2020 and later. The two groups were compared based on the rotation and annual examination scores of second- and third-year trainees, as well as their academic achievements. Additionally, teaching outcomes of the base before and after 2020 were analyzed. The t test, rank-sum test, and Fisher's exact test were performed using SPSS 27.00. Results:There were no significant differences in age, sex, and education level between the two groups. The experimental group showed significantly higher scores than the control group in theory assessment ( P<0.001 for second-year trainees and P=0.008 for third-year trainees) and skill assessment ( P<0.001 for second-year trainees and P=0.038 for third-year trainees) in rotation examination, as well as in theory assessment (both P<0.001) and skill assessment (both P<0.001) in annual examination. The improvement was particularly pronounced among second-year trainees. The trainees of the experimental group submitted 17 case reports in three years, and won awards at national conferences, provincial conferences, and institutional case speech competitions. In a national academic conference, the trainees won the second prize of "Excellent Case". Since 2020, we have been granted with our first teaching reform project and published our first teaching article. To date, we have obtained five teaching reform projects, published six teaching articles, and won multiple awards in provincial and institutional teaching competitions. Conclusions:The establishment of the annual progressive assessment mode is critical for training high-quality laboratory physicians, and puts forward higher requirements for residency training teachers.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease(CJD)is a rapidly progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by prions,with certain infectivity and iatrogenic transmission risks.With the rapid progress and application of new dia-gnostic biomarkers and detection methods,as well as the construction and improvement of surveillance and reporting systems,the detection of CJD in patients domestically and internationally has shown an increasing trend year by year.Due to its long incubation period and heterogeneity of early symptoms,early identification and diagnosis of the disease is difficult,increasing the risk of transmission within medical institutions.Currently,there is a lack of con-sensus on the infection prevention and control of CJD.In order to timely identify and diagnose CJD as well as effec-tively block its transmission in medical institutions,this consensus summarizes 15 clinical concerns and formulates 24 specific recommendations based on the latest domestic and international research findings and clinical evidence,as well as combines with clinical practice,aiming to standardize healthcare-associated infection prevention and control measures for CJD and reduce its transmission risk in medical institutions.
