Recent advances in vital pulp therapy(VPT)research,coupled with the widespread use of biomaterials,have led to an in-crease in the application of VPT.The indications for VPT are continually expanding,particularly for fully developed permanent teeth.Currently,one-way membrane decompression is being investigated as a possible treatment to preserve vital pulp in cases of irreversible pulpitis.This technology involves creating an access point in the pulp cavity and using the one-way membrane to prevent microorganisms from invading the pulp tissue.Additionally,it helps alleviate the high pressure in the pulp cavity caused by inflammation,thereby en-hancing blood circulation within the pulp.This improvement is crucial for establishing a foundation for future vital pulp preservation treatments.A case of irreversible pulpitis caused by caries was reported,in which the dental pulp was preserved using the one-way membrane decompression.The results of a ten-month clinical follow-up indicate a positive outcome.

Obesity, as a chronic recurrent disease, has become a major public health challenge in China. To implement the requirements of the Healthy China Initiative (2019—2030), under domestic guidelines or consensus statements on overweight and obesity, and in alignment with the latest scientific advances globally, the Quality control protocol for adult overweight and obesity screening in health management (examination) institutions (2025 edition) was developed. This protocol was drafted by the Health Management Center of Shanghai Changzheng Hospital and formulated through multiple rounds of deliberation by experts in China’s health examination quality control field. The protocol establishes unified standards for screening facilities, personnel qualifications, and measurement or testing procedures. It defines specific screening items, outlines a standardized screening pathway, and sets requirements for the final medical review, ensuring the scientific validity, effectiveness, and safety of the screening process. The implementation of this protocol will enhance the consistency of weight management practices for adults across health examination institutions and strengthen the quality control of overweight and obesity screening programs.

Ginger mainly contains two main categories of volatile and non-volatile components,of which the non-volatile gingerol is a general term for pungent substances in ginger,mainly containing gingerols,shogaols and other components,with a wide range of pharmacological effects.By reviewing the 2020 edition of the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China and related literature in Chinese databases such as CNKI and Wanfang,it was found that the use of the Chinese names of gingerols and shogaols was confusing,which caused certain troubles to readers and obstacles to academic exchanges.According to the naming principles of Chinese medicinal extracts,it is suggested that gingersols,6-gingerol,8-gingerol and 10-gingerol should be uniformly named as gingerols(姜酚类),6-gingerol(6-姜酚),8-gingerol(8-姜酚)and 10-gingerol(10-姜酚),respectively,and shogaols and 6-shogaol should be uniformly named as shogaols(姜烯酚类)and 6-shogaols(6-姜烯酚).The standardized use of the Chinese names of gingerols and shogaols will facilitate in-depth research and academic exchange on ginger,dried ginger,baked ginger and other ginger herbal medicines.

Objective:To investigate the lipidomics differences of CD4+T immune cells in diabetic kidney disease(DKD)mice,and screen out the differential metabolites with biological significance.Methods:CD4(L3T4)MicroBeads immunomagnetic beads were used to isolate CD4+T immune cells from spleen of BKS.Cg-Dock7m+/+Leprdb/J mice with spontaneous DKD;the purity of CD4+T cells were identified by flow cytometry.The non-targeted lipidomics of CD4+T cells were detected by LC-MS/MS,and the differ-ential metabolites were analyzed.Results:A total of 463 metabolites were detected by LC-MS.PCA and OPLS-DA analysis showed that the metabolic components were significantly separated;twenty-four differential metabolites were screened out.KEGG and enrich-ment analysis showed that the differential metabolites involved in the disorder of glycerol phospholipid metabolism.Conclusion:Phos-pholipid metabolism of CD4+T cells is closely related to the occurrence of DKD.Phospholipid metabolism targeting DKD CD4+T cells in DKD may be a new direction of DKD treatment.

The consensus has been reached on the benefits of surgical drainage. However, catheter-related blockage and retrograde infection remain bottleneck problems in the treatment process. To this end, with Huashan Hospital, Fudan University, as the main inventors, a drainage tube dredging umbrella and anti-retrograde infection kit have been designed and applied for the national utility model patent (patent number: ZL 2023 2 1300036.2). The main body of the kit consists of a catheter dredging umbrella, drainage tube, and drainage bag. Several isolation layers are installed in the drainage bag to form a maze structure and a reflux valve is added, thereby increasing the distance and resistance of liquid reflux, greatly reducing the possibility of liquid reflux entering the drainage tube, so as to reduce the risk of retrograde infection through physical means. When the drainage tube is blocked, the drainage tube and joint tube of the drainage bag can be separated, the unblocking umbrella can be inserted into the blockage through the guide wire, the cannula can be inserted along the guide wire, the guide wire is pulled to release the dredging umbrella in the contraction state, and the dredging umbrella can be pulled back in the expansion state until the blockage is removed from the drainage tube. The operating procedure is standardized and simple. While preventing retrograde infection (anti-retrograde infection kit), the catheter dredging umbrella could effectively address the issue of catheter blockage. It has certain clinical promotion and application value.
