The present analysis was based on the iteration of the 2023 WHO Essential Medicines Model List(23rd list)and Essential Medicines Model List for Children(9th list).In a methodological fashion,the adjustment procedure of the basic drug list and the materials required to submit the application were sorted out.Subsequently,a comprehensive synthesis of predominant features characterizing the 2023 edition of the EML and EMLc are summarized(offered).Notably,this edition boasts the highest count of medicines ever included featuring extensive inclusion of innovative drugs to fill the gap,select medicines for children carefully,and the emphasizing on clinical benefit evidence and public health affordability.It is suggested that China should update the NEML according to the national conditions and the experience of WHO as soon as possible,pay attention to the difference and connection between the list of essential medicines and the list of medical insurance,and play a meticulous role for establishing effective linkages between two lists.Such measures are envisaged to meet the basic drug needs,and ensure the accessibility and affordability of drugs,thereby optimizing the allocation of health resources.

Myositis antibodies are divided into myositis-specific autoantibodies(MSA)and myositis-associated autoantibodies(MAA).There are heterogeneity in the mechanism,clinical features and prognosis of interstitial lung disease(ILD)in the different myositis antibodies.In MSA,anti-melanoma differentiation-related gene 5(MDA5)antibody and anti-aminoacyl synthetase(ARS)antibody are highly correlated with the occurrence of ILD.Patients with MDA5+DM-ILD usually have a rapidly progressive and poor prognosis.The progress of ILD in ARS+DM patients was slow,and the response to treatment is good,but it is easy to relapse.In MAA,anti-Ro52 antibodies often coexist with MSA antibodies,and clinical manifestation is closely related to coexisting antibodies.This review has summarized roles of myositis antibodies in ILD.

Objective: To perform intrauterine adhesion modeling, and to investigate the repair effect of hypoxic treated bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC) and their derived exosomes (BMSC-exo) on endometrial injury. Methods: BMSC and their exosomes BMSC-exo extracted from rats' femur were cultured under conventional oxygen condition (21%O₂) or hypoxia condition (1%O₂). Intrauterine adhesion modeling was performed on 40 healthy female SD rats by intrauterine injection of bacterial lipopolysaccharide after curettage. On the 28th day of modeling, 40 rat models were randomly divided into five groups, and interventions were performed: (1) NC group: 0.2 ml phosphate buffered solution was injected into each uterine cavity; (2) BMSC group: 0.2 ml BMSC (1×10⁶/ml) with conventional oxygen culture was injected intrauterine; (3) L-BMSC group: 0.2 ml of hypoxic cultured BMSC (1×10⁶/ml) was injected intrauterine; (4) BMSC-exo group: 0.2 ml of BMSC-exo cultured with conventional oxygen at a concentration of 500 μg/ml was injected into the uterine cavity; (5) L-BMSC-exo group: 0.2 ml hypoxic cultured BMSC-exo (500 μg/ml) was injected intrauterine. On the 14th and 28th day of treatment, four rats in each group were sacrificed by cervical dislocation after anesthesia, and endometrial tissues were collected. Then HE and Masson staining were used to observe and calculate the number of glands and fibrosis area in the endometrium. The expressions of angiogenesis related cytokines [vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) and CD₃₁], and fibrosis-related proteins [collagen-Ⅰ, collagen-Ⅲ, smooth muscle actin α (α-SMA), and transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1)] in endometrial tissues were detected by western blot. Results: (1) HE and Masson staining showed that the number of endometrial glands in L-BMSC group, BMSC-exo group and L-BMSC-exo group increased and the fibrosis area decreased compared with NC group on the 14th and 28th day of treatment (all P<0.05). Noteworthily, the changes of L-BMSC-exo group were more significant than those of BMSC-exo group (all P<0.05), and the changes of BMSC-exo group were greater than those of BMSC group (all P<0.05). (2) Western blot analysis showed that, compared with NC group, the expressions of collagen-Ⅲ and TGF-β1 in BMSC group, L-BMSC group, BMSC-exo group and L-BMSC-exo group decreased on the 14th and 28th day of treatment (all P<0.05). As the treatment time went on, the expressions of fibrosis-related proteins were different. Compared with BMSC group, the expressions of collagen-Ⅲ, α-SMA and TGF-β1 in the BMSC-exo group and L-BMSC group decreased on the 28th day (all P<0.05). Moreover, the expressions of collagen-Ⅲ and TGF-β1 in L-BMSC-exo group were lower than those in BMSC-exo group on the 28th day (all P<0.05). And the expressions of collagen-Ⅰ, α-SMA and TGF-β1 in L-BMSC-exo group were lower than those in L-BMSC group on the 28th day (all P<0.05). (3) The results of western blot analysis of VEGFA and CD₃₁ showed that, the expressions of VEGFA and CD₃₁ in BMSC group, L-BMSC group, BMSC-exo group and L-BMSC-exo group increased on the 14th and 28th day of treatment compared with NC group (all P<0.05). Treatment for 28 days, the expressions of VEGFA and CD₃₁ in BMSC-exo group and CD₃₁ in L-BMSC group were higher than those in BMSC group (all P<0.05). Moreover, the expressions of VEGFA and CD₃₁ in L-BMSC-exo group were higher than those in BMSC-exo group and L-BMSC group on the 28th day (all P<0.05). Conclusions: Treatment of BMSC and their exosomes BMSC-exo with hypoxia could promote endometrial gland hyperplasia, inhibit tissue fibrosis, and further repair the damaged endometrium in rats with intrauterine adhesion. Importantly, hypoxic treatment of BMSC-exo is the most effective in intrauterine adhesion rats.

Objective: To establish an ultra-sensitive, ultra-fast, visible detection method for Vibrio parahaemolyticus (VP) . Methods: We established a new method for detecting the tdh and trh genes of VP using clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated protein 12a (CRISPR/Cas12a) combined with recombinase polymerase amplification and visual detection (CRISPR/Cas12a-VD). Results: CRISPR/Cas12a-VD accurately detected target DNA at concentrations as low as 10 ^-18 M (single molecule detection) within 30 min without cross-reactivity against other bacteria. When detecting pure cultures of VP, the consistency of results reached 100% compared with real-time PCR. The method accurately analysed pure cultures and spiked shrimp samples at concentrations as low as 10 ² CFU/g. Conclusion The novel CRISPR/Cas12a-VD method for detecting VP performed better than traditional detection methods, such as real-time PCR, and has great potential for preventing the spread of pathogens.

Malocclusion is one of the three most common oral diseases reported by World Health Organization(WHO). In China, its incidence rate is rising. Malocclusion seriously affects the dental and maxillofacial function, facial appearance and growth development of nearly 260 million children in China, and what is more, it affects their physical and mental health development. Malocclusion occurrence is related to genetic and environmental factors. Early treatment of malocclusion can create a good dental and maxillofacial development environment, correct abnormal growth and control the adverse effects of abnormal genetic factors. It can effectively reduce the prevalence of children's malocclusion and enhance their physical and mental health. This is an urgent need from the economic perspective of our society, so it has great practical and social significance. Experts from the project group "standard diagnose and treatment protocols for early orthodontic intervention of malocclusions of children" which initiated by China National Health Institute of Hospital Administration wrote the "China Experts' Consensus on Preventive and Interceptive Orthodontic Treatments of Malocclusions of Children", which aims to guide and popularize the clinical practice, improve the clinical theory and practice level, and accelerate the disciplinary development of early treatment of children's malocclusion in China. The consensus elaborates the harmfulness of malocclusion and the necessity of early treatment, and brings up the principles and fundamental contents. Based on the law of dental and maxillofacial development, this paper puts forward the guiding suggestions of preventive and interceptive treatments in different stages of dental development ranging from fetus to early permanent dentition. It is a systematic project to promote and standardize the early treatment of malocclusion. Through scientific and comprehensive stratified clinical practice and professional training, the clinical system of early treatment of malocclusion in China will eventually be perfected, so as to comprehensively care for children's dental and maxillofacial health, and improve their oral and physical health in China.

The progression of renal damage in diabetic nephropathy(DN)is closely related to Nod-like receptor protein3(NLRP3)inflammasome activation. The characteristics of NLRP3 inflammasome activation include the changed expression and combination levels of NLRP3, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein(ASC)and pro-caspase-1, the increased expression levels of caspase-1, interleukin(IL)-1β and IL-18 and the excessive release levels of the relative inflammatory mediators. Its molecular regulative mechanisms involve the activation of multiple signaling pathways including reactive oxygen species(ROS)/thioredoxin-interacting protein(TXNIP)pathway, nuclear factor(NF)-κB pathway, nuclear factor erythroid-related factor 2(Nrf2)pathway, long non-coding RNA(lncRNA)pathway and mitogen-activated protein kinases(MAPKs)pathway. In addition, more importantly, never in mitosis aspergillus-related kinase 7(Nek7), as a kinase regulator, could target-combine with NLRP3 at upstream to activate NLRP3 inflammasome. Some extracts of Chinese herbal medicines(CHMs)such as quercetin, curcumin, cepharanthine, piperine and salidroside, as well as Chinese herbal compound prescriptions such as Wumei Pills both could treat NLRP3 inflammasome to ameliorate inflammatory renal damage in DN. Therefore, accurately clarifying the targets of anti-inflammatory CHMs and Chinese herbal compound prescriptions delaying DN progression by targeting the molecular regulative mechanisms of NLRP3 inflammasome activation will be one of the development directions in the future.
