Rheumatoid arthritis belongs to arthralgia syndrome in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine， and cold-dampness obstruction syndrome and dampness-heat obstruction syndrome are core syndromes and main syndrome differentiation types of this disease. Fine therapeutic effects have been obtained in the long-term clinical practice of many famous traditional Chinese medicine practitioners following the syndrome differentiation and treatment based on the guiding principles of cold and heat. To adapt to the clinical diagnosis practice of combining disease differentiation and syndrome differentiation， and to better carry out basic research on integrated Chinese and Western medicine and preclinical study on new traditional Chinese medicines， Guidelines for Establishing Animal Models of Rheumatoid Arthritis with Cold-Dampness Obstruction Syndrome and Dampness-Heat Obstruction Syndrome （hereinafter referred to as the Guidelines） were compiled by our research group， in cooperation with the renowned experts in research fields including traditional Chinese medicine， clinical medicine， zoology and evidence-based medicine， which provide a meaningful reference for scientific research， teaching and clinical applications. The compilation process of the Guidelines was guided by the theory of disease and syndrome integration and the principles of "evidence takes the main place， consensus plays an auxiliary role， and experience serves as the reference". Based on the comprehensive evaluation of pathogenesis homology， behavioral phenotypic consistency， and drug treatment predictability compared between animal models and human diseases， by the nominal group method， "recommendations" were formed for recommendations supported by evidence， and "consensus recommendations" were formed for recommendations not supported by evidence. Guidelines were formed involving content such as animal types， arthritis modeling methods， external stimulation conditions， and modeling assessment indicators during the establishment of the animal models of rheumatoid arthritis with cold-dampness obstruction syndrome and dampness-heat obstruction syndrome. The Guidelines are applicable for the disease and syndrome research on rheumatoid arthritis， investigation of therapeutic mechanisms， and development of new traditional Chinese medicine. The Guidelines also provide a reference for the establishment of guidelines on other types of diseases and syndromes combined with animal models to further promote the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine research and its integration with international academic development.

The Guidelines for Establishing Animal Models of Rheumatoid Arthritis with Cold-dampness Obstruction Syndrome and Dampness-heat Obstruction Syndrome （hereinafter referred to as the Guidelines） （No. T/CACM1567-2024） was published by Chinese Association of Chinese Medicine on January 11， 2024. To assist researchers and medical workers in understanding and applying the Guidelines more accurately， and also to provide reference and assistance for the establishment of guidelines on other types of diseases and syndromes combined with animal models， this paper made a declaration of the workflow， technological links， development references， promotion of its application and after-effect evaluation of the Guidelines that has been made according to the requirements of "Draft Group Standard of the Standardization Office of the Chinese Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine".

Objective To investigate the factors influencing hyperdynamic circulation-related indicators in patients with liver cirrhosis and ascites.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 377 patients diagnosed with cirrhosis-associated ascites at the Third People's Hospital of Kunming between October 2022 and October 2024.Patients were categorized into grade 1,grade 2,and grade 3 ascites groups according to ascites severity grading.The general demographic characteristics and clinical parameters of the three groups were compared.Potential positive predictors were initially identified through univariate analyses,including Spearman correlation and non-parametric tests.Binary logistic regression and multiple linear regression models were subsequently employed to investigate the factors influencing high dynamic circulation-related indicators(heart rate[HR],E/A ratio,and left ventricular diastolic function[LVDF])in patients with cirrhosis-related ascites.Results Significant differences in the incidence of HR,the ratio of early to late diastolic filling velocities(E/A),and LVDF were observed among different ascites groups(P<0.05).Age,ascites depth,serum chloride(Cl-),CO2,red cell distribution width coefficient of variation(RDW-CV),and etiology were identified as independent determinants of HR in patients with liver cirrhosis and ascites.Age,white blood cell count(WBC),albumin(ALB),and etiology were independent determinants of E/A in patients with liver cirrhosis and ascites.Age(OR=1.088,95%CI 1.062-1.114,P<0.001)and serum potassium(K+)(OR=1.919,95%CI 1.218-3.025,P=0.005)were independent risk factors for LVDF in patients with cirrhotic ascites,whereas RDW-CV(OR=0.902,95%CI 0.883-0.961,P=0.023)and ALB(OR=0.921,95%CI 0.883-0.961,P<0.001)were identified as protective factors.Conclusions Serum ALB is an independent influencing factor for E/A ratio and LVDF in cirrhotic patients with ascites and hyperdynamic circulation.K+and RDW-CV are also independent predictors of LVDF,whereas Cl-independently influences heart rate.Clinical monitoring and targeted intervention for these parameters should be emphasized.

Objective: To explore the prevalence of screening myopia and depressive symptom among primary and secondary school students in Xuzhou, and to explore the association of sleep and screen time on the coexistence of screening myopia and depressive symptom, so as to provide scientific references for developing intervention strategies to address the development of myopia and promote mental health in children and adolescents. Methods: From September to October 2024, a stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 6 605 students in grade 4 to 12 in 2 urban and 2 suburban districts in Xuzhou. The students health condition and influencing factors questionnaire were used to assess students basic information, sleep time, and screen time. The Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) was used to assess primary and secondary school students depressive symptom.Unaided distance visual acuity examination was conducted, and refractive assessment was performed using an automated refractometer without cycloplegic agents. The Chi-square test and multiple Logistic regression analysis were used to evaluate the association of sleep and screen time with the coexistence of screening myopia and depressive symptom. Results: The detection rates of screening myopia, depressive symptom, and screening myopia and depressive symptoms co morbidity among primary and secondary school students in Xuzhou were 60.35%, 4.45% and 18.61% respectively. Results from the multinomial Logistic regression analysis, using the healthy group as the reference and after adjusting for confounding factors, showed that students with insufficient sleep duration were more likely to have depressive symptom ( OR=1.57, 95%CI =1.08-2.27) and the coexistence of screening myopia and depressive symptom ( OR=1.85, 95%CI =1.45-2.36). Students with daily screen time≥2 h were more likely to have depressive symptom only ( OR=1.41, 95%CI =1.04-1.93) and the coexistence of screening myopia and depressive symptom ( OR=1.31, 95%CI =1.06-1.61). Further stratified analysis based on sufficient and insufficient sleep duration revealed that only in the insufficient sleep duration group, students with daily screen time≥2 h had an increased risk of depressive symptom only ( OR=1.49, 95%CI =1.07-2.07) and the coexistence of screening positive myopia and depressive symptom ( OR=1.40, 95%CI =1.11- 1.77 ) (all P <0.05). Conclusions Primary and secondary school students with insufficient sleep duration and daily screen time≥2 h have higher risks of depressive symptoms and the coexistence of screening myopia and depressive symptoms. It is recommended to ensure adequate sleep duration and limit screen time for children and adolescents.

Objective To explore the relationship between corrected QT interval(QTc)and short-term mortality rate in patients with cirrhotic ascites and the predictive value of QTc combined with Child-Pugh class for short-term death.Methods Patients hospitalized with cirrhotic ascites from October 2022 to March 2024 were selected as study subjects(training set,n=245),and similar patients from April to October 2024 were included for external validation(validation set,n=88).Patients'demographic data,basic clinical data,and first electrocardiography related indicators on admission were collected.Patients were divided into a death group and a survival group according to the 30-day follow-up result.The influencing factors for prognosis were explored by Lasso regression and univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression.A death risk nomogram model was constructed and evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC curve),calibration curve,and decision curve.Data were analyzed for normality using Shapiro-Wilk test.Pairwise comparison for continuous data that were normally distributed was conducted by the independent-samples t test.Pairwise comparison for continuous data that were not normally distributed was conducted by the Mann-Whitney U test.Pairwise comparison for categorical data was performed using the chi-square test.Results The mortality rates were 35.1%(86/245)in the training set and 30.7%(27/88)in the validation set.Lasso regression showed that combined tumor,QTc,hematocrit,total bilirubin(TBil),direct bilirubin,alkaline phosphatase,albumin,cholinesterase,high-density lipoprotein cholesterol,carcinoembryonic antigen,international normalized ratio,model for end-stage liver disease(MELD),and Child-Pugh class were potential influencing factors for 30-day death in patients with cirrhotic ascites.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression showed that QTc(odds ratio[OR]=1.010,95%confidence interval[CI]:1.001-1.020,P=0.039),presence of tumor(OR=6.904,95%CI:2.997-12.391,P<0.001),TBil(OR=1.009,95%CI:1.004-1.014,P=0.001),and Child-Pugh class(OR=2.532,95%CI:1.256-5.105,P=0.009)were independent risk factors for 30-day death in patients with cirrhotic ascites.For the nomogram model constructed based on the results of the multivariate logistic analysis,the area under the ROC curve in the training set was 0.824;the sensitivity and specificity were 81.1%and 74.4%,respectively;the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test showed P=0.673;the mean absolute error of the calibration curve was 0.020.The area under the ROC curve in the validation set was 0.886;the sensitivity and specificity were 91.8%and 70.4%,respectively;the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test showed P=0.965;the mean absolute error of the calibration curve was 0.032.With the threshold probability of 0.15 to 0.85,the decision curve suggested a good benefit.The area under the ROC curve of the predictive model(0.824)was greater than conventional MELD score(0.700),MELD-Na score(0.698),and Child-Pugh score(0.674)(all P<0.05).Conclusion QTc is an independent predictor of short-term death in patients with cirrhotic ascites,and the prognostic model including QTc and Child-Pugh class has a good predictive value for short-term mortality rate.

Objective To compare the clinical effect of first-line chemotherapy containing oxaliplatin on left and right colon cancer.Methods A total of 120 patients with colon cancer admitted to Second Affiliated Hospital of Shanghai University from January 2020 to January 2024 were selected and divided into left colon cancer group(60 cases)and right colon cancer group(60 cases)according to tumor location.Both groups were treated with first-line chemotherapy containing oxaliplatin for 2 cycles.Disease control rate,serum tumor markers,serum inflammatory factors,cancer-causing symptom scores,quality of life and incidence of adverse reactions were compared between two groups.Results After treatment,disease control rate in left colon cancer group was significantly higher than that in right colon cancer group(x2=22.224,P＜0.00 1).The levels of serum carcinoembryonic antigen,carbohydrate antigen 125,carbohydrate antigen 153,C-reactive protein and interleukin-6 of left colon cancer group were lower than those of right colon cancer group(P＜0.05).The scores of cancer-related pain and fatigue of left colon cancer group were lower than those of right colon cancer group(P＜0.05).The quality of life in left colon cancer group was better than that in right colon cancer group(P＜0.05).Conclusion First-line chemotherapy containing oxaliplatin has better short-term efficacy in patients with left colon cancer,with better control of tumor progression,and can improre clinical symptoms and quality of life.

Objective:To explore the predictive value of HACOR score [heart rate (H), acidosis (A), consciousness (C), oxygenation (O), and respiratory rate (R)] on the clinical outcome of non-invasive positive pressure ventilation in patients with pulmonary encephalopathy due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods:A prospective study was conducted. The patients with COPD combined with pulmonary encephalopathy who were admitted to Henan Provincial People's Hospital from January 1, 2017 to June 1, 2021 and initially received non-invasive positive pressure ventilation were enrolled. Besides non-invasive positive pressure ventilation, standard medical treatments were delivered to these patients according to guidelines. The need for endotracheal intubation was judged as failure of non-invasive ventilation treatment. Early failure was defined as the need for endotracheal intubation within 48 hours of treatment, and late failure was defined as the need for endotracheal intubation 48 hours and later. The HACOR score at different time points after non-invasive ventilation, the length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, the total length of hospital stay, and the clinical outcome were recorded. The above indexes of patients with non-invasive ventilation were compared between successful and failed groups. The receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was drawn to evaluate the predictive effect of HACOR score on the failure of non-invasive positive pressure ventilation in the treatment of COPD with pulmonary encephalopathy.Results:A total of 630 patients were evaluated, and 51 patients were enrolled, including 42 males (82.35%) and 9 females (17.65%), with a median age of 70.0 (62.0, 78.0) years old. Among the 51 patients, 36 patients (70.59%) were successfully treated with non-invasive ventilation and discharged from the hospital eventually, and 15 patients (29.41%) failed and switched to invasive ventilation, of which 10 patients (19.61%) were defined early failure, 5 patients (9.80%) were late failure. The length of ICU and the total length of hospital stay of the non-invasive ventilation successful group were significantly longer than those of the non-invasive ventilation failure group [length of ICU stay (days): 13.0 (10.0, 16.0) vs. 5.0 (3.0, 8.0), total length of hospital stay (days): 23.0 (12.0, 28.0) vs. 12.0 (9.0, 15.0), both P < 0.01]. The HACOR score of patients at 1-2 hours in the non-invasive ventilation failure group was significantly higher than that in the successful group [10.47 (6.00, 16.00) vs. 6.00 (3.25, 8.00), P < 0.05]. However, there was no significant difference in HACOR score before non-invasive ventilation and at 3-6 hours between the two groups. The ROC curve showed that the area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 1-2 hour HACOR score after non-invasive ventilation for predicting non-invasive ventilation failure in COPD patients with pulmonary encephalopathy was 0.686, and the 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 0.504-0.868. When the best cut-off value was 10.50, the sensitivity was 60.03%, the specificity was 86.10%, positive predictive value was 91.23%, and negative predictive value was 47.21%. Conclusions:Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation could prevent 70.59% of COPD patients with pulmonary encephalopathy from intubation. HACOR score was valuable to predict non-invasive positive pressure ventilation failure in pulmonary encephalopathy patients due to COPD.

ObjectiveTo investigate the pollution level of deoxynivalenol （DON） in wheat flour and its products sold in Shanghai， and to assess the health risks of DON exposure for residents in Shanghai who ingested DON from wheat flour and its products. MethodsRisk monitoring data of DON in wheat flour and its products sold in Shanghai from 2017 to 2021 were combined with the consumption data of wheat flour and its products by Shanghai residents. A probabilistic assessment method was used to assess dietary exposure of DON in wheat flour and its products. ResultsThe overall detection rate of DON in wheat flour and its products was 77.3% （1 041/1 347）， with a mean concentration of 226.3 μg·kg^-1， P₅₀ of 130.0 μg·kg^-1 and a maximum value of 3 080.0 μg·kg^-1. The mean daily exposure and 95th percentile daily exposure （by body weight） of DON from wheat flour and its products in Shanghai residents were 0.279 μg·kg^-1 and 1.146 μg·kg， accounting for 27.9% and 114.6% of the daily tolerable intake of DON TDI， 1 μg·kg， respectively. The probability assessment results indicated that 6.1% of the whole population in Shanghai had DON exposure exceeding the TDI value. Among them， 12.8% of the population aged 6 years old and below， 16.4% of the population aged between 7 and 17 years old， 3.9% of the population aged between 18 and 59 years old and 3.2% of the population aged 60 years old and above exceeded the TDI value for daily DON exposure through wheat flour and its products. ConclusionCertain populations in Shanghai may face certain health risks from daily DON intake wheat flour and its products. Special attention should be paid to the health risk of daily DON exposure through wheat flour and its products for individuals age below 18 years old .
