Objective:To evaluate the effects of nasal endoscopy in curettage of large mandibular cyst.Methods:20 cases of large mandibular cyst admitted to Xianyang Hosptial of Yan'an University from January 2022 to December 2023 were included.The curet-tage of mandibular cyst was performed under general anesthesia through intraoral incision by nasal endoscopy-assisted illumination and enlargement of the lesion area during the operation.The application effects were evaluated from the aspects of surgical incision length,nerve injury and cyst recurrence.Results:During operation,the surgical filed of view was clear and the operation was suc-ceeded in all cases.There was no complication in and after the nasal endoscopy-assisted curettage,no cyst recurrence was observed during 1-year follow-up.Conclusion:Nasal endoscopy-assisted curettage of large mandibular cyst is effective and safe.

Artificial intelligence (AI) technology enhances the function of acupuncture clinical decision support system (CDSS) by promoting the accuracy of its diagnosis, assisting the formulation of personalized therapeutic regimen, and realizing the scientific and precise evaluation of its therapeutic effect. This paper deeply analyzes the unique advantages of AI-based acupuncture CDSS, including the intelligence and high efficiency. Besides, it points out the challenges of data security, the lack of model interpretation and the complexity of interdisciplinary cooperation in the development of acupuncture CDSS. With the continuous development and improvement of AI technology, acupuncture CDSS is expected to play a more important role in the fields of personalized medicine, telemedicine and disease prevention, and to further advance the efficiency and effect of acupuncture treatment, drive the modernization of acupuncture, and enhance its position and influence in the global healthcare system.

The core aberrant behaviors of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are primarily manifested as inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, which are closely associated with specific neuropathological features.Virtual reality (VR) technology, leveraging its immersive, interactive, and customizable properties, demonstrates potential in ameliorating the abnormal behavioral manifestations of individuals with ADHD. This article aims to synthesize existing evidence from neurobiological mechanism research and explore the therapeutic efficacy of VR interventions in improving abnormal behavioral presentations in ADHD patients. An evidence-integrated framework posits that: (1) VR enhances inhibitory control and working memory by promoting neural plasticity remodeling within key brain regions through highly contextualized simulation tasks, thereby optimizing functional connectivity.(2) VR reduces attentional lapses and impulsive behaviors by regulating the dynamic interplay efficiency among the default mode network, executive control network, and salience network.(3) VR elevates motivational levels and cognitive flexibility by dynamically modulating dopaminergic-noradrenergic system homeostasis, synergizing with brain-derived neurotrophic factor mediated synaptic plasticity. Delving deeper into these underlying mechanisms will facilitate the optimization of multi-target VR intervention design and provide novel insights for personalized behavioral therapy in ADHD.

Proteomic characterization of plasma is critical for the development of novel pharmacodynamic bio-markers.However,the vast dynamic range renders the profiling of proteomes extremely challenging.Here,we synthesized zeolite NaY and developed a simple and rapid method to achieve comprehensive and deep profiling of the plasma proteome using the plasma protein corona formed on zeolite NaY.Specifically,zeolite NaY and plasma were co-incubated to form plasma protein corona on zeolite NaY(NaY-PPC),followed by conventional protein identification using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.NaY was able to significantly enhance the detection of low-abundance plasma proteins,minimizing the"masking"effect caused by high-abundance proteins.The relative abundance of middle-and low-abundance proteins increased substantially from 2.54％to 54.41％,and the top 20 high-abundance proteins decreased from 83.63％to 25.77％.Notably,our method can quantify approxi-mately 4000 plasma proteins with sensitivity up to pg/mL,compared to only about 600 proteins iden-tified from untreated plasma samples.A pilot study based on plasma samples from 30 lung adenocarcinoma patients and 15 healthy subjects demonstrated that our method could successfully distinguish between healthy and disease states.In summary,this work provides an advantageous tool for the exploration of plasma proteomics and its translational applications.

Preeclampsia is a kind of idiopathic disease during pregnancy. Its pathogenesis may involve many factors, such as mother, placenta and fetus. The study found that the abnormal metabolism of blood glucose and blood lipid during pregnancy may be closely related to the onset of preeclampsia. This paper reviews the research progress of abnormal glycolipid metabolism in preeclampsia at home and abroad in order to better guide the management of related aspects during pregnancy.

Secondary lymphedema is a chronic progressive disease caused by the obstruction of lymphatic reflux, which leads to a series of secondary affection. There is no cure at present. Exploring the pathogenesis and treatment of lymphedema is based on animal models that mimic the pathophysiology of chronic lymphedema in humans. Currently, there are many known animal models of lymphedema, such as the limb lymphedema model of mice, dogs and other animals, and the rabbit ear lymphedema model. But most of them cannot induce the persistent and stable lymphedema temporarily, which lead to a deadlock in the related research progress. Therefore, it is necessary to improve and even create new animal models of lymphedema. This paper summarises the progress of relevant literature and provides references for further improving the establishment of a lymphedema animal model. It also summarise existing methods for evaluating lymphedema or lymphatic vessel function to provide an evaluation tool for modified or new animal models.

Conventional wisdom holds that the central nervous system (CNS) does not have lymphatic vessels or lymphatic circulation, and it lacks lymphatic pathways to clear brain metabolites. However, with the development of study in intracranial clearance, it has been discovered that there are lymphatic systems in CNS, including glymphatic pathway and it meningeal lymphatic vessels. It further reveals the exchange system between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and interstitial fluid (ISF). It also closely relates to the development of neurodegenerative diseases, age-related changes of brain, traumatic brain injury, circulatory diseases and tumors. In the past 10 years, the research in CNS has been a hot spot in life sciences. This article aims to explain the research progress from the aspects of the discovery of glymphatic system, anatomical structure and function, and relationship with Alzheimer's disease (AD).

The red doctor’s spirit is an important spiritual guidance for the cultivation of medical talents during the development of medical and health services in China. The teaching reform, which is oriented towards position competence, requires that students majoring in public health management should not only master solid medical knowledge and professional skills, but also possess an ability to handle medical public relations, such as shaping an excellent image of the organization, improving the medical interpersonal communication, and managing public relations crisis. Under the guidance of inheriting the red gene and innovating the medical education, the driving force of learning should be "serving the people to improve their health" led by "political firmness" , the learning goal "striving for perfection" inspired by "excellent technology" , and the working criterion "respecting patients, involving full participation and shouldering public responsibility" embodied in "making selfless dedication and helping the wounded and dying" . The article based on the characteristic culture of red medicine in the Air Force Medical University, applied the teaching method of role-playing case simulations to explore the teaching practice road of "theory-experience-practice-reflection" .
