The paper summarizes Professor YANG Jun's experience in treatment of refractory facial paralysis with the refined mode of acupuncture and moxibustion, so as to provide new ideas and methods for the disease treated with acupuncture and moxibustion. Professor YANG Jun puts forward the refined mode of diagnosis and treatment of acupuncture and moxibustion for refractory facial paralysis. On the basis of syndrome/pattern differentiation of TCM, combined with meridian theory and modern anatomy, the symptom differentiation and meridian differentiation are performed accurately. By selecting local acupoints (e.g. Touwei [ST8], Sibai [ST2], Cuanzhu [BL2] and Yangbai [GB14]), distal acupoints (e.g. Zusanli [ST36], Hegu [LI4] and Jinsuo [GV8]), specific acupoints (e.g.Qianzheng [EX-HN16] and Touqiaoyin [GB11]) and the acupoints for regulating the mind (e.g. Dazhui [GV14] and Shuigou [GV26]), the prescription is composed. The different needling techniques are delivered at the acupoints (e.g. point-to-point needling with long needle, stuck needling by lifting and dragging, and balance needling on the healthy side). Besides, the facial rehabilitation is considered as the adjuvant treatment. This mode of treatment obtains the precise diagnosis and treatment to achieve the utmost therapeutic effects.

Background Previous studies found that high temperature and heatwave increase the risk of traffic injuries. The complex road conditions in Yunnan Province result in frequent traffic accidents. However, there is limited evidence on the correlation between heatwave and traffic injuries in Yunnan Province. Objective To assess the association between heatwave events and traffic injuries, to estimate its disease burden, and to identify relevant sensitive groups. Methods We collected data on traffic injury cases and concurrent meteorological information from four surveillance sites in Yunnan Province, China: Dali, Lufeng, Zhaoyang, and Qilin from May to September each year from 2015 to 2023. Traffic injury cases refer to patients who visited the outpatient or emergency departments of local surveillance hospitals for the first time due to traffic injuries. Meteorological data were derived from the fifth generation atmosphericreanalysis dataset of the global climate provided by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. A time-stratified case-crossover design combined with distributed lag non-linear model was used to analyze the association between short-term exposure to heatwave and traffic injuries. We also conducted subgroup analyses by sex, age, occupation, injury cause, activity at the time of injury occurrence, and severity of injury. Results A total of 34764 traffic injury surveillance cases were included in the analysis. The risk of traffic injuries occurred during heatwave was 1.13 times (95%CI: 1.07, 1.20) greater than those occurred during non-heatwave, and 2.64% (95%CI: 1.49%, 3.73%) of traffic injuries were attributed to heatwave exposure throughout the study period. The results of stratified analysis showed greater impacts of heatwave on the risk of traffic injuries in female [odds ratio (OR)=1.17, attributable fraction (AF)=3.23%], people aged 15-64 years (OR=1.13, AF=2.68%), farmers/workers (OR=1.22, AF=4.07%), people with non-motor vehicle traffic injuries (OR=1.17, AF=3.24%), people who were driving or riding when injuries occurred (OR=1.12, AF=2.43%), and people with minor injuries (OR=1.18, AF=3.49%) ( P<0.05). Longer duration [excess risk (ER)=0.99%] and greater intensity (ER=4.12%) of heatwave had greater impacts on the risk of traffic injuries (P<0.05). Conclusion Heatwave events are associated with an increased risk of traffic injuries. Female, people aged 15-64, farmers/workers, people with non-motor vehicle traffic injuries, those injured while driving/riding a vehicle, and people with minor injuries are particularly vulnerable. The findings suggest that targeted mitigation and adaptation measures should be taken to address the risk of traffic injuries associated with extreme climate events.

Objective To study the dynamic changes in the secretion of neurotransmitters glutamic acid(Glu)and γ-aminobutyric acid(GABA)in the central auditory brain area,in order to explore the effects of sodium salicy-late on different locations of the auditory pathway.Methods A total of 126 SD rats were injected intraperitoneally with salicylate,and were divided into 10 groups including injection groups for 1,2,4,8,and 24 hours,chronic in-jection groups for 3,7,and 14 days,and chronic recovery groups for 21 and 28 days with 6 rats in each group,as well as their corresponding blank control groups.Rats in each group were anesthetized and materials were collected for further use.High-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC)was performed to detect and compare the dynam-ic changes in the levels of Glu and GABA in the auditory cortex,inferior colliculus,cochlear nucleus,and hippocam-pus of the auditory center of rats in each group at different time points.Results Compared with the control group,within 24 hours of acute injection of salicylate,the Glu content in the auditory cortex reached the peak in 1 hour,and the hippocampus reached the peak at the 4th hour after injection,and then decreased slowly.The GABA con-tent in the four brain regions showed a slow upward trend in the chronic injection period,reached the peak on the 7th day,decreased and approached normal level on the 14th day,and basically returned to the normal level in the re-covery period.Conclusion These findings indicate that salicylate has a certain short-term excitatory and stimulating effect on the central auditory system.Under the mechanism of central plasticity,after long-term injection of salicy-late,the release of neurotransmitters reaches a new excitation/inhibition balance in the central area.Glu and GABA may each play a different role that may ultimately lead to the development of tinnitus.

Objective To retrieve relevant literature on risk prediction model for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection among hospitalized patients from databases and evaluate the predictive model. Methods The literature on risk prediction models for MRSA infection among hospitalized patients was retrieved from PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WanFang data, and VIP database, with a time range from the inception of the database to January 1, 2024. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data. The Prediction Model Risk of Bias Assessment Tool (PROBAST) was applied to evaluate the risk of bias and applicability of the prediction model in the literature, and descriptive analysis was conducted. Results A total of 12 articles (15 prediction models) were included in this study, with significant differences in the total sample size, the number of MRSA infection events, sample size of modeling, and sample size of validation among the studies. Common predictors in the prediction models were admission to the intensive care unit, antibiotic use, history of residence in nursing facilities, age, chronic kidney disease, and previous hospitalization history. Nine articles conducted internal validation, and three articles conducted both internal and external validation. Nine articles reported the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, and only three articles reported the calibration of the model based on the Hosmer-Lemeshow test. PROBAST analysis showed that 10 articles were assessed as high risk bias, mainly stemming from statistical analysis. Conclusion Most of the MRSA infection risk prediction models in the current literature have good predictive efficacy for MRSA infection, but they all have higher overall risk of bias, and only a few models have undergone external validation. Researchers should follow PROBAST standards to construct and externally validate models in the future so as to develop models suitable for clinical practice.

Objective This study aimed to analyze the current epidemic situation of cancer in Yunnan province in 2020,and to provide theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of cancer in Yunnan province.Methods The data on the incidence and mortality of cancer were collected from 129 cancer registration areas in Yunnan province in 2020.A total of 89 counties(cities,dis-tricts)that met the quality control standards were included in this analysis.Among them,there were 16 in urban areas,covering a pop-ulation of 7,593,622(24.16%),and 73 in rural areas,covering a population of 23,838,542(75.84%).The number of malignant tumor cases,deaths,the crude incidence and China age-standardized incidence(China Standardized Incidence),the crude mortality and China age-standardized mortality(China Standardized Mortality),the cumulative incidence and mortality from 0 to 74 years old,as well as the order of cancer incidence and death were statistical analyzed.Results In 2020,66,719 new cases of cancer were re-ported from 89 tumor registration areas in Yunnan province,with a crude rate of 212.26/100,000 and the China age-standardized in-cidence of 150.33/100,000;The reported number of deaths from cancer was 39,251,with a crude mortality of 124.88/100,000 and the China age-standardized mortality of 82.45/100,000.The incidence and mortality of cancer were higher in men than those in fe-male,and higher in rural than those in urban areas.According to the crude incidence rate and crude mortality,the top 5 cancers with the highest crude incidence were lung cancer,female breast cancer,colo-rectum cancer,liver cancer and thyroid cancer,and the top 5 cancers with the highest crude mortality were lung cancer,liver cancer,colo-rectum cancer,stomach cancer and female breast cancer.Conclusion Lung cancer,liver cancer,colo-rectum cancer and female breast cancer are still the key cancers for prevention and con-trol in Yunnan province.The incidence of thyroid cancer is relatively high,and there are significant differences in the incidence and mortality of cancer between urban and rural areas and between sexes.The corresponding cancer prevention should be carried out ac-cording to the current epidemic situation of cancer in Yunnan province.

Objective The aim of this study was to analyze the incidence and mortality of prostate cancer in cancer registra-tion areas of Yunnan province in 2020,as well as its changing trends from 2012 to 2020,and provide suggestions for the prevention and treatment of prostate cancer in Yunnan province.Methods The data of prostate cancer incidence and mortality in cancer regis-tration areas of Yunnan province from 2012 to 2020 were collected and organized.Excel 2016 and SPSS 18.0 software were used to calculate the crude incidence,crude mortality,age-standardized incidence rate by World standard population(ASIRW),age-stand-ardized mortality rate by Chinese standard population(ASMRC),truncated rate,cumulative rate and other indicators.ASIRW and ASMRC were calculated by using Segi's World population composition.Joinpoint 4.8.0.1 software was used to calculate the annual percentage change(APC)and 95%CI of ASIRW and ASMRC of prostate cancer from 2012 to 2020,and analyze their annual change trends.Results In 2020,the crude incidence and ASIRW of male prostate cancer in cancer registration areas of Yunnan province were 9.71/100,000 and 6.21/100,000,respectively.ASIRW in urban areas(7.94/100,000)was higher than that in rural areas(5.48/100,000).In 2020,the crude mortality and ASMRC of male prostate cancer in cancer registration areas of Yunnan province were 4.68/100,000 and 2.87/100,000,respectively.ASMRC in urban areas(3.68/100,000)was higher than that in rural areas(2.53/100,000).In 2020,the incidence and mortality of male prostate cancer in Yunnan province increased with age,were at a low level before the age of 45,and began to rise rapidly after the age of 55.From 2012 to 2020,there was no statistically significant change trend in ASIRW and ASMRC of male prostate cancer in Yunnan province(APC were 1.79%and 3.61%,P>0.05).However,ASIRW and ASMRC of rural males were on the rise(APC were 4.45%and 3.85%,respectively,P<0.05).Conclusion ASIRW and ASMRC of male prostate cancer in cancer registration areas of Yunnan province in 2020 are higher in urban men than those in rural areas.The change trend of ASIRW and ASMRC from 2012 to 2020 is flat,and rural elderly men should be paid more attention.

Objective This study aimed to analyze the incidence and mortality of cervical cancer in tumor registration areas of Yunnan province in 2020,as well as the trend of incidence and mortality from 2012 to 2020,in order to provide a basis for the pre-vention and treatment of cervical cancer in Yunnan province.Methods The data of cervical cancer incidence and mortality were col-lected and sorted out in tumor registration areas of Yunnan province from 2012 to 2020.The crude incidence,crude mortality,age-standardized incidence rate by World standard population(ASIRW)(referred to the World standard incidence),age-standardized mortality rate by World standard population(ASMRW)(referred to the World standard mortality)and other indicators of cervical canc-er in 2020 were statistically analyzed according to the urban and rural areas.The annual percent change(APC)was used to evaluate the changing trend of cervical cancer incidence and mortality from 2012 to 2020,and the GM(1,1)model was used to predict the crude incidence and ASIRW from 2021 to 2025.Results In 2020,there were 2426 new cases of cervical cancer in tumor registration area of Yunnan province,ranking fifth in the incidence of female malignant tumors.The crude incidence and ASIRW were 15.83/100,000 and 11.16/100,000,respectively.There were 831 deaths from cervical cancer,ranking sixth deaths of female malignant tumors.The crude mortality and ASMRW were 5.42/100,000 and 3.52/100,000,respectively.ASIRW was higher in rural areas(11.86/100,000)than that in urban areas(9.11/100,000).ASMRW was slightly higher in urban areas(3.63/100,000)than that in rural areas(3.48/100,000).The age-specific incidence of cervical cancer increased rapidly after the age of 20,and reached a peak in the 55-59 age group;The age-specific mortality of cervical cancer increased rapidly after the age of 35,reaching a peak in the 75-79 age group.ASIRW of cervical cancer in Yunnan province from 2012 to 2020 showed a downward trend with annual changes(APC=-7.54%,95%CI:-13.19%--1.53%),and the trend change was statistically significant(P<0.05).The prediction of the GM(1,1)model showed that the crude incidence and ASIRW of cervical cancer in Yunnan province would continue to decline from 2021 to 2025.Conclusion The incidence and mortality of cervical cancer are relatively low in Yunnan province,but it is still a common malignant tumor in women.The incidence of cervical cancer in Yunnan province is showing a trend of becoming younger,and rural women are the key population for prevention and treatment.
