The red doctor spirit is a unique spiritual form and value pursuit nurtured. It was nurtured and formed during the medical practice of the Communist Party of China leading the vast medical workers to integrate the basic principles of Marxism with the concrete realities of the Chinese revolution and with the excellent traditional Chinese medical ethics culture. It constitutes not only an important component of the spiritual spectrum of the Chinese Communists but also a significant source of the health and wellness culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Employing the analytical framework of the “two integrations,” this paper conducted an in-depth analysis of the generative logic of the red doctor spirit. It revealed that this spirit was not only the creative transformation and concrete manifestation of Marxist core concepts such as human emancipation and the people-centered stance in the medical and health practices of the Chinese revolution, but also an integration and elevation of traditional medical ethics like “the caring heart of a physician” and “a master physician must have superb skill and sincerity” in the excellent traditional Chinese culture with the red revolutionary culture at the practical level. This paper argued that the generation of the red doctor spirit was the product of a dialectical unity regarding theoretical guidance, cultural nourishment, and practical exploration under specific historical conditions. Situated in the new era, the red doctor spirit continues to exhibit strong vitality and irreplaceable contemporary value in aspects such as adhering to the people-first principle, advancing the healthy China initiative, strengthening medical ethics and professional conduct, carrying forward the red gene, and cultivating new generations for the era.
2.Longitudinal association between compulsive behaviour and smartphone addiction in middle school students
Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(5):638-641
Objective:
To explore the potential causal association between adolescent compulsive behaviour and smartphone addiction based on longitudinal data, so as to provide reference for the establishment of adolescent smartphone addiction interventions.
Methods:
A preliminary survey and follow-up were conducted on 8 907 middle and high school students in a district of Shenzhen in 2022 and 2023, respectively. Compulsive behaviours were measured by using the Mental Health Inventory for Middle School Students-60 Items (MMHI-60), smartphone addiction was assessed by using the Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version ( SAS- SV), and the associations between compulsive behaviours and smartphone addiction were analysed by using multilevel mixed-effects models and subgroup analyses.
Results:
Smartphone addiction detection rates among middle school students were significantly associated with genders, father s education level, mother s education level, study load subgroups, and whether or not they were single-parent families, and there were statistical differences ( χ 2=17.21-175.34, P <0.05). Students with compulsive behaviours were 2.98 times more likely to develop smartphone addiction than those without compulsive behaviours ( OR=2.98, 95%CI=2.77-3.22, P <0.05). Subgroup analysis of middle school students without smartphone addiction in the first year found that compulsive behaviours significantly predicted smartphone addiction ( OR= 1.76 , 95%CI=1.54-2.01, P <0.05).
Conclusion
There is a potential causal association between obsessive-compulsive behaviours and smartphone addiction in middle school students, and obsessive-compulsive behaviours in middle school students could significantly predicted the occurrence of smartphone addiction.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic and non-specific inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Huanglian Ganjiang decoction (HGD), derived from ancient book Beiji Qianjin Yao Fang, has demonstrated efficacy in treating UC patients traditionally. Previous research established that the compatibility of cold herb Coptidis Rhizoma + Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex (CP) and hot herb Angelicae Sinensis Radix + Zingiberis Rhizoma (AZ) in HGD synergistically improved colitis mice. This study investigated the compatibility mechanisms through which CP and AZ regulated inflammatory balance in colitis mice. The experimental colitis model was established by administering 3% dextran sulphate sodium (DSS) to mice for 7 days, followed by CP, AZ and CPAZ treatment for an additional 7 days. M1/M2 macrophage polarization levels, glucose metabolites levels and pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4) expression were analyzed using flow cytometry, Western blot, immunofluorescence and targeted glucose metabolomics. The findings indicated that CP inhibited M1 macrophage polarization, decreased inflammatory metabolites associated with tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and suppressed PDK4 expression and pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) (Ser-293) phosphorylation level. AZ enhanced M2 macrophage polarization, increased lactate axis metabolite lactate levels, and upregulated PDK4 expression and PDH (Ser-293) phosphorylation level. TCA cycle blocker AG-221 and adeno-associated virus (AAV)-PDK4 partially negated CP's inhibition of M1 macrophage polarization. Lactate axis antagonist oxamate and PDK4 inhibitor dichloroacetate (DCA) partially reduced AZ's activation of M2 macrophage polarization. In conclusion, the compatibility of CP and AZ synergistically alleviated colitis in mice through M1/M2 macrophage polarization balance via PDK4-mediated glucose metabolism reprogramming. Specifically, CP reduced M1 macrophage polarization by restoration of TCA cycle via PDK4 inhibition, while AZ increased M2 macrophage polarization through activation of PDK4/lactate axis.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of amplification intervention with hearing aids for restoring binaural auditory function in patients with unilateral moderate to severe sensorineural hearing loss. Methods:This study selected 30 patients with normal hearing in one ear and moderate to severe sensorineural hearing loss in the other ear. They were fitted with hearing aids for the worse ear and underwent more than half a year and one year of adaptation training. The Chinese translation of the Twelve-item version of SSQ(C-SSQ12), angle identification test, speech recognition score(SRS) at different signal-to-noise ratios(SNR=5 and SNR=10) and audiometric thresholds were used to compare the results before and after hearing aid use to evaluate the effectiveness of the unilateral hearing loss intervention. Results:The results of the audiometric thresholds, C-SSQ12 scores, angle identification test, and SRS at SNR=5 and SNR=10 in the worse ear of the unilateral hearing loss patients after hearing aid use were all statistically significant compared to before hearing aid use(P<0.01). Conclusion:Amplification intervention with hearing aids has significant effects on restoring binaural auditory function in patients with unilateral moderate to severe sensorineural hearing loss.

Objective:To comprehensively evaluate the changes in pulmonary artery hemodynamics in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) using four-dimensional flow (4D Flow) MRI, and to explore the value of viscous energy loss (EL) as an evaluation parameter of the right heart in patients with rTOF.Methods:A total of 30 rTOF patients who were prospectively admitted at Fuwai Hospital between October 2017 and November 2019, and 19 healthy controls who were prospectively recruited on March 2023, were enrolled in this study. All participants underwent a comprehensive 4D Flow MRI evaluation, and indicators of comparison between the two groups including quantitative flow analysis, wall shear stress (WSS) assessment, and EL evaluation in four planes: the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT), main pulmonary artery (MPA), right pulmonary artery (RPA), and left pulmonary artery (LPA). The correlation between EL and traditional right ventricular (RV) function parameters, as well as WSS, was analyzed.Results:The RV function was generally decreased in rTOF patients, with an RV ejection fraction of 41.42 (35.85, 43.33) %. Compared with healthy controls, the volumes of backward flow, peak velocities, and both axial and circumferential WSS at the RVOT, MPA, RPA, and LPA were significantly increased in rTOF patients (all P<0.05). The EL in the pulmonary artery was extremely low in healthy controls, with the maximum EL values for the MPA-RPA and MPA-LPA segments during cardiac cycle being 0.51 (0.42, 0.73) and 0.68 (0.40, 0.94) mW, respectively. However, in rTOF patients, the EL values were as high as 63.63 (35.35, 82.15) and 56.41 (34.96, 88.76) mW, respectively. There was a significant moderate negative correlation between EL and RV ejection fraction, and a moderate to high positive correlation between EL with RV volume index, regurgitation fraction, as well as peak velocities (all P<0.05). Additionally, there was a significant positive correlation between EL and axial and circumferential WSS, with the correlation coefficients at MPA ranging from 0.67 to 0.88 (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Disordered flow in the pulmonary artery is common in patients with rTOF and should not be overlooked. The extensive viscous EL is closely associated with traditional RV function parameters and WSS. EL is expected to become an crucial parameter for evaluating right heart function in rTOF patients.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) features of cardiac sarcoidosis (CS).Methods:This retrospective study included 8 consecutive patients with pathologically confirmed CS by endomyocardial biopsy from Fuwai Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, between January 2012 and September 2024. All patients underwent comprehensive CMR examinations including cine imaging and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging. Clinical data, including electrocardiographic findings, were collected. CMR phenotyping was performed based on imaging characteristics, and cardiac structure and function parameters were evaluated. LGE analysis was conducted using the American Heart Association 17-segment model to assess the distribution patterns and involvement sites.Results:The most common clinical symptoms were chest tightness (4 patients), palpitations (4 patients), and shortness of breath (6 patients). Electrocardiographic abnormalities included atrioventricular block in 4 patients, right bundle branch block in 2 patients, left bundle branch block in 2 patients, frequent premature ventricular contractions in 4 patients, and non-sustained ventricular tachycardia in 5 patients. CMR phenotyping revealed hypertrophic cardiomyopathy pattern in 3 patients, with 2 patients maintaining normal biventricular function and 1 patient showing significantly reduced biventricular systolic function. Dilated cardiomyopathy pattern was identified in 4 patients, all demonstrating significantly impaired biventricular systolic function. One patient exhibited another phenotype with preserved biventricular systolic function. LGE analysis demonstrated that the anterior wall and anterior septum (segments 1, 2, 7, 8) were the most frequently involved regions, followed by the lateral and inferior walls (segments 5, 6, 11, 12). Subepicardial involvement was the predominant pattern of myocardial enhancement.Conclusions:Cardiac sarcoidosis exhibits diverse clinical manifestations and heterogeneous imaging characteristics. CMR not only provides a comprehensive assessment of cardiac structure and function but also reveals distinctive myocardial tissue characteristics, particularly the extent and distribution patterns of LGE involvement. These findings have significant reference value for early identification of CS and differential diagnosis from other cardiomyopathies.

Objective:This study aimed to systematically evaluate the efficacy of glucagon-like peptide-1(GLP-1) receptor agonists and multi-target analogs on weight reduction and cardiometabolic outcomes in non-diabetic individuals with obesity, and to compare the efficacy and safety across different GLP-1 receptor agonists.Methods:Randomized controlled trials(RCTs) published between January 2000 and March 2025 were identified through a systematic search of CNKI, Wanfang, Web of Science, PubMed, and Cochrane databases. Two reviewers independently screened the studies, extracted data, and assessed methodological quality. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4.1 software. Results:A total of 16 RCTs involving 11 032 non-diabetic individuals with obesity were included. Meta-analysis showed that GLP-1 receptor agonists significantly reduced body weight(ΔWeight=-8.71 kg, 95% CI -10.68 to -6.74, P<0.001) and BMI(ΔBMI=-3.01 kg/m 2, 95% CI -3.77 to -2.25, P<0.001), as well as improved systolic blood pressure(ΔSBP=-4.13 mmHg, 1 mmHg=0.133 kPa, 95% CI -4.87 to -3.39, I2=60%) and diastolic blood pressure(ΔDBP=-1.39 mmHg, 95% CI -2.32 to -0.46, I2=95%). Tirzepatide showed the most pronounced effects on both weight and blood pressure reduction. In addition, GLP-1 receptor agonists significantly lowered LDL-C, TC, and TG, while moderately increasing HDL-C levels. In terms of safety, GLP-1 receptor agonists were associated with an increased risk of gastrointestinal adverse events, but did not significantly increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Conclusion:GLP-1 receptor agonists are effective in reducing weight, BMI, and blood pressure, and in improving lipid profiles in non-diabetic individuals with obesity. However, gastrointestinal side effects should be closely monitored. Given the variability in efficacy and safety among various GLP-1 receptor agonists, personalized treatment approaches are recommended.

Objective:To explore the formation pathway of sleep deprivation in shift work nurses so as to provide a reference for improving their sleep.Methods:Purposive and theoretical sampling methods were used to select 18 shift work nurses from the clinical departments of six Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals in Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, from January to April 2024 for semi-structured interviews. The interview data were coded and analyzed by searching literature and interviewing shift work nurses, applying Strauss procedural grounded theory to inductively develop relevant concepts and categories.Results:After three levels of coding, 26 initial categories and 10 main categories were refined. Three core categories, namely, doctor-patient tension, institutional mechanism imbalance, and work pressure overload, were finally summarized to construct a formation pathway of sleep deprivation in shift work nurses.Conclusions:External doctor-patient tension, misaligned institutional mechanisms in healthcare organizations, and work pressure overload among shift work nurses are important factors in the formation of sleep deprivation, with work pressure overload being a core factor. It is recommended that sleep deprivation be alleviated through impartial reporting of medical incidents, rational handling of medical disputes, optimization of scheduling arrangements, provision of psychological counselling and enhanced staff training.
