Chronic heart failure （CHF） is the final stage of cardiovascular diseases. It is a complex syndrome， with dyspnea and edema as the main clinical manifestations， and it is characterized by complex disease conditions， difficult cure， and high mortality. Ferroptosis， a new type of programmed cell death， is different from other types of programmed cell death. Ferroptosis is iron-dependent， accompanied by lipid peroxide accumulation and mitochondrial shrinkage， becoming a hot research topic. Studies have confirmed that ferroptosis plays a key role in the occurrence and development of CHF. The regulation of ferroptosis may become a potential target for the treatment of CHF in the future. The theory of Qi deficiency and stagnation refers to the pathological state of original Qi deficiency and abnormal transportation and distribution of Qi， blood， and body fluid， which has guiding significance for revealing the pathogenesis evolution of some chronic diseases. We believe that Qi deficiency and stagnation is a summary of the pathogenesis of ferroptosis in CHF. Deficiency of Qi （heart Qi） is the root cause of CHF， and stagnation （phlegm turbidity and blood stasis） is the branch of this disease. The two influence each other in a vicious circle to promote the development of this disease. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） plays an important role in the treatment of CHF， improving the prognosis and quality of life of CHF patients. This paper explores the correlation between the theory of Qi deficiency and stagnation and the mechanism of ferroptosis in CHF. Furthermore， this paper reviews the mechanism of Chinese medicines and compound prescriptions in preventing and treating CHF by regulating ferroptosis according to the principles of replenishing Qi and dredging to remove stagnation， aiming to provide new ideas and methods for the treatment of CHF with TCM.

Cleft lip and palate, as one of the most common congenital deformities of the oral and maxillofacial region, not only affects the physiological functions of patients, but also has a profound impact on their psychological well-being. Traditional sequential treatment for cleft lip and palate aims to restore primary functions and typically concludes intervention after orthodontic treatment. However, this management protocol often fails to meet patients′ expectations for esthetic outcomes. In the process of dental esthetic restoration, it is essential to adhere to the principles of comprehensive planning, sequential treatment, and tooth preservation, while formulating individualized treatment strategies. This article delves into the main challenges and corresponding therapeutic measures in dental esthetic restoration following sequential treatment for cleft lip and palate patients. It systematically analyzes the causes, clinical manifestations, and treatment methods for esthetic defects in dental arch space, dental hard tissues, and periodontal soft tissues. The study proposes that dental esthetic restoration can be implemented during three critical phases of sequential treatment: the mixed dentition stage, early permanent dentition stage, and adulthood stage to reduce the complexity of subsequent treatments, thereby preserving more dental and periodontal tissues. Through multidisciplinary collaboration and the application of digital technology, not only has the efficiency and predictability of treatment been enhanced, but more economical and effective treatment options have also been provided for patients. The aim is to offer clinicians comprehensive treatment insights, promoting a shift in the treatment philosophy for cleft lip and palate patients from "function-oriented" to a multidimensional approach that equally emphasizes" function-aesthetics-psychosocial aspects", ultimately achieving a comprehensive improvement in patients′ quality of life.

Objective:To assess the association between temperature and risk of animal injury, and identifying vulnerable populations.Methods:Based on a time-stratified case-crossover design, the number of animal injuries monitored in hospitals of Guangdong Provincial Injury Surveillance System in 2011 and 2015-2016 was included, and the daily meteorological data were derived from the fifth generation of European ReAnalysis-Land, which was produced by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. Conditional logistic regression combined with a distributed lagged nonlinear model was applied to analyze the association of temperature and animal-specific injuries. We also conducted stratified analysis by region, sex, age, occupation, and location of injury occurrence.Results:There was an almost linear relationship between temperature and the occurrence of animal injury. The excess risk ( ER) of animal injury was 2.65% (95% CI: 2.27%-3.04%) for a 1 ℃ rise in temperature with much higher risk of occurrence ( ER=9.34%, 95% CI: 7.57%-11.13%) for non-mammalian injury than that for mammalian injuries ( ER=2.30%, 95% CI: 1.90%-2.70%). Stratified analysis revealed that the occurrence of animal injury was more susceptible to temperature influences in urban ( ER=2.78%, 95% CI: 2.35%-3.21%), female ( ER=2.71%, 95% CI: 2.16%-3.27%), the elderly aged 60 years and above ( ER=3.05%, 95% CI: 1.65%- 4.47%), farmer ( ER=4.66%, 95% CI: 3.03%-6.32%) and agricultural area ( ER=10.63%, 95% CI: 7.57%-13.79%) than their correspondents. In terms of mammalian injury, dog bites showed the highest risk ( ER=2.71%, 95% CI: 2.12%-3.30%). In terms of non-mammalian,snake injuries were highly influenced by temperature ( ER=16.74%, 95% CI: 11.33%-22.40%). Conclusions:The ambient temperature rises could increase the risk of animal injury with much higher risk for non-mammalian than that for mammalian injuries. Our findings suggest that global warming may increase the risk and disease burden from animal injuries.

Objective:To analyze the time to reach full enteral feedings (TFEF) among preterm infants with gestational age (GA)<32 weeks admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of Chinese Neonatal Network (CHNN).Methods:This was a retrospective analysis based on the database from the CHNN 89 participating centers between January 1 st, 2019 and December 31 st, 2022. All 16 155 preterm infants with a GA <32 weeks and a birth weight <1 500 g, admitted to the NICU within 24 h after birth, hospitalization for at least 7 d and achieved full enteral feedings before discharge were included. According to the birth weight, these infants were divided into extremely low birth weight (ELBW) group and very low birth weight (VLBW) group. The practice characteristics of TFEF across different GA, the severity of neonatal admission, the NICU interventions before reaching full enteral feeding, and relevant neonatal diseases were described. Mann-Whitney U tests or Kruskal-Wallis H tests was used for comparison between groups. Results:Among the 16 155 preterm infants with a GA <32 weeks, 8 505 case (52.6%) were male. The TFEF in 3 374 cases of ELBW groups was 32 (22, 46) d, 351 cases (10.4%) with TFEF ≤2 weeks, 1 050 cases (31.1%) with TFEF >2-4 weeks, 964 cases (28.6%) with TFEF >4-6 weeks, and 1 009 cases (29.9%) with TFEF >6 weeks. The TFEF in 12 781 cases of VLBW group was 22 (15, 32) d, 439 cases (3.4%) with TFEF ≤1 week, 2 565 cases (20.1%) with TFEF >1-2 weeks, 5 526 cases (43.2%) with TFEF >2-4 weeks, and 4 251 cases (33.3%) with TFEF >4 weeks. The TFEF was 36(23, 52) d of 625 preterm infants at a GA ≤25 weeks and 20 (13, 28) d of 2 606 preterm infants at a GA 31 weeks. Inborn infants had a shorter TFEF than those outborn infants and the infants with breast-fed achieved shorter than formula and mixed feeding both in ELBW and VLBW groups (all P<0.001). The earlier enteral feeding started, the shorter TFEF will be both in ELBW and VLBW groups (both P<0.001). The TFEF of preterm infants who were treated before full enteral feeding like peripherally inserted central catheters, and blood transfusions and blood product providers were all longer than those who were not treated (all P<0.001). The TFEF of preterm infants with complications like hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus, necrotizing enterocolitis, late onset sepsis, severe retinopathy of prematurity and bronchopulmonary dysplasia were all longer than those without (all P<0.001). Conclusions:The distribution of TFEF in VLBW and ELBW has a large difference. The TFEF of preterm infants varies with different GA, treatment measures and complications. Further quality improvement is required to shorten TFEF.

Mitochondria not only serve as the central hub for cellular energy metabolism,but also participate in crucial physiological processes such as signal transduction and activity regulation.Abnormal mitochondrial quantity,imbalance in mtDNA copy number,accumulation of genetic mutations,and aberrant activation of autophagic pathways can lead to mitochondrial dysfunction or even organelle disorders,while activating mechanisms of cellular damage and death,consequently contributing to the pathogenesis of various diseases.As a highly selective form of autophagy,mitophagy plays a pivotal regulatory role in organelle quality control and homeostasis maintenance.This article focuses on the classic PINK1/Parkin pathway-mediated mitophagy as an entry point,summarizing recent research advances regarding the role of mitophagy in neurodegenerative diseases,aiming to provide novel insights for developing targeted mitophagy regulation strategies to improve prevention and treatment approaches for neurodegenerative disorders.

Objective To explore the mediating effect of empowerment ability between type D personality and self-management behavior of patients with diabetes mellitus(DM).Methods A total of 738 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)hospitalized in the Department of Endocrinology of three tertiary hospitals in Hainan Province from December 2022 to May 2023 were selected and divided into Type D personality(Type D,n=104)group and T2DM group(n=634).The general data,biochemical indexes,scores of negative emotion(NA),social inhibition(SI),empowerment ability,and scale of DM self-management activities(SDSCA)were compared between the two groups,and the correlation between type D personality,empowerment ability and self-management ability was analyzed.The mediating effect model was used to analyze the mediating effect of empowerment ability on the four self-management behaviors of patients with type D personality,and the chain mediating effect model was used to analyze the relationship between type D personality,empowerment ability,self-management behaviors and HbA1c.Results Compared with the T2DM group,HbA1c,proportion of rural residence,proportion of complications≥3,proportion of education level of junior high school or above,proportion of monthly income<3000 yuan,and NA and SI scores were significantly higher in the Type D group(P<0.05).The empowerment ability and scores of healthy diet,regular exercise,blood glucose monitoring and medication compliance were lower in the Type D group than in the T2DM group(P<0.05).Spearman correlation analysis showed that the empowerment ability score was positively correlated with the scores of healthy diet,regular exercise,blood glucose monitoring and medication compliance(P<0.05).NA and SI scores were negatively correlated with empowerment ability score,healthy diet,regular exercise,blood glucose monitoring and medication compliance(P<0.05).The results of model analysis with empowerment ability as the mediating variable showed that type D personality had direct,indirect and total effects on regular exercise,blood glucose monitoring,medication compliance and SDSCA total score(P<0.05),and indirect and total effects on regular diet score(P<0.05).The mediating effect of empowerment ability was significant(Bootstrap CI did not include 0).The chain mediating effect analysis showed that type D personality could indirectly affect HbA1c through empowerment ability,healthy diet(γ=0.389,95%CI 0.206～0.591),and medication compliance(γ=0.149,95%CI 0.040～0.265),and the effect proportion was 39.4%and 14.1%,respectively.Conclusions Type D personality can indirectly influence self-management behavior through the mediating effect of empowerment,and simultaneously affecting HbA1c through the chain effect of empowerment,diet,and medication behavior.

Objective:To compare the pregnancy outcomes of surviving fetuses in monochorionic diam-niotic(MCDA)twin pregnancies after selective feticide or spontaneous single intrauterine fetal demise(sIUFD),and to explore the influencing factors of prognosis.Methods:A total of 219 cases of intra-uterine death of one fetus in MCDA twin pregnancies admitted to Peking University Third Hospital from September 2010 to August 2021 were collected.According to the mode of fetal death,they were divided into the spontaneous sIUFD group(120 cases)and the selective feticide group(99 cases).Data on the maternal conditions during pregnancy,the situation of the intrauterine-dead fetus,and pregnancy out-comes were collected for retrospective case-analysis.Results:The live-birth rates of surviving fetuses in the spontaneous sIUFD group and the selective feticide group were 85.0％and 81.8％respectively,and the total perinatal survival rates of surviving fetuses were 73.3％and 81.8％respectively,and there were no statistically significant differences.Compared with the spontaneous sIUFD group,the selective feticide group had a greater gestational week at delivery,and lower rate of preterm birth before 37 weeks,neonatal asphyxia,and early neonatal mortality.Using the gestational week at delivery as the outcome variable,Cox regression analysis showed that the mode of fetal death was not a risk factor affecting the gestational week at delivery of the surviving fetus,while gestational hypertension and the gestational week of fetal death were independent risk factors affecting the gestational week at delivery of the surviving fetus.Using preterm birth before 37 weeks,intrauterine death of the surviving fetus,and abnormal neonatal cranial ultrasound as outcome variables respectively,unconditional logistic regression analysis showed that the mode of fetal death,the gestational week of fetal death,the position of the dead fetus,and fetal complications were independent risk factors affecting the outcomes of the above-mentioned survi-ving fetuses.According to the results of the univariate analysis,the above risk factors were included in the multivariate regression analysis,and the results were the same as those of the univariate analysis.Conclusion:For MCDA twin pregnancy patients with severe twin-related complications,the prognosis of surviving fetuses after selective feticide is better.The proactive intrauterine intervention and treatment are of great significance for improving the prognosis of surviving fetuses.
