Objective To explore the relationship between PANoptosis and hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI), and to screen the key genes of PANoptosis in HIRI. Methods PANoptosis-related differentially expressed genes (PDG) were obtained through the Gene Expression Omnibus database and GeneCards database. Gene ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) were used to explore the biological pathways related to PDG. A protein-protein interaction network was constructed. Key genes were selected, and their diagnostic value was assessed and validated in the HIRI mice. Immune cell infiltration analysis was performed based on the cell-type identification by estimating relative subsets of RNA transcripts. Results A total of 16 PDG were identified. GO analysis showed that PDG were closely related to cellular metabolism. KEGG analysis indicated that PDG were mainly enriched in cellular death pathways such as apoptosis and immune-related signaling pathways such as the tumor necrosis factor signaling pathway. GSEA results showed that key genes were mainly enriched in immune-related signaling pathways such as the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway. Two key genes, DFFB and TNFSF10, were identified with high accuracy in diagnosing HIRI, with areas under the curve of 0.964 and 1.000, respectively. Immune infiltration analysis showed that the control group had more infiltration of resting natural killer cells, M2 macrophages, etc., while the HIRI group had more infiltration of M0 macrophages, neutrophils, and naive B cells. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction results showed that compared with the Sham group, the relative expression of DFFB messenger RNA in liver tissue of HIRI group mice increased, and the relative expression of TNFSF10 messenger RNA decreased. Cibersort analysis showed that the infiltration abundance of naive B cells was positively correlated with DFFB expression (r=0.70, P=0.035), and the infiltration abundance of M2 macrophages was positively correlated with TNFSF10 expression (r=0.68, P=0.045). Conclusions PANoptosis-related genes DFFB and TNFSF10 may be potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for HIRI.

Objective To summarize the current situation of the implementation of the death case discussion system in county-level medical institutions and analyze the existing problems,to attempt to make suggestions for improvement.Methods Judgmental sampling method was used in this study.A self-made questionnaire was used to conduct field investigation on the im-plementation of the death case discussion system in 16 county-level medical institutions in Chongqing,and semi-structured inter-views were conducted with medical staff.Results All county-level medical institutions have established death case discussion system,but there are many differences in connotative quality.There are many problems in system implementation,such as unclear scope of death case discussion,formality,irregular discussion,poor quality of connotation and lack of systematic supervision.Conclusion As a core medical system,the death case discussion system is an important tool for medical quality management.The medical quality management and medical staff must place a high value on the significance of death case discussion.In order to enhance medical quality and ensure patient safety,we must adhere to the principles of openness and honesty,systematic criti-cism,non-recrimination and non-punishment to conduct death case discussion in time and standardize,keep a record of death case discussions and enhance supervision.

ObjectiveThis study aims to investigate the mechanism in which Celastrus orbiculatus extract （COE） affects the proliferation and differentiation of gastric organoids and the expression of Lgr5 and thus reverses the precancerous lesions of gastric cancer （PLGC） by regulating the leucine-rich repeat containing G protein-coupled receptor 5 （Lgr5）/Wingless （Wnt）/β-catenin signaling pathway based on a gastric organoid injury model. MethodGastric organoids were established based on stem cells of the mouse gastric gland. Gastric organoid injury models were constructed by treating gastric organoids with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine （MNNG， 0.02 mg·L^-1）. Gastric organoid injury models were randomly divided into normal group， model group （0.02 mg·L^-1 MNNG）， low， medium， and high dose （5， 10， 20 mg·L^-1） groups of COE， and Wnt inhibitor Dickkopf-related protein 1 （DKK1） （0.5 mg·L^-1） group， and they were treated with respective agents for 24 h. The number and volume of gastric organoids under different drug concentrations were observed under a microscope. The viability of the gastric organoid injury models was detected by Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium （MTT） assay. The morphology and pathology of gastric organoids were observed using Hematoxylin and Eosin （HE） staining. The expression levels of Lgr5， Mucin2 （MUC2）， Mucin5AC （MUC5AC）， Mucin6 （MUC6）， Wnt， and β-catenin in gastric organoids under different drug concentrations were detected by Western blot （WB）. ResultCompared with the normal group， the number， volume， and activity of gastric organoids in the model group were decreased （P<0.01）， while the expressions of Lgr5， MUC2， Wnt， and β-catenin were significantly increased （P<0.01）. The expressions of MUC5AC and MUC6 were significantly decreased （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the number and volume of gastric organoids in the low， medium， and high dose groups of COE were all improved （P<0.01）， and the vitality of gastric organoids was significantly enhanced （P<0.01）. The effect was the most significant at a COE concentration of 20 mg·L^-1 （P<0.01）. The expressions of Lgr5 and MUC2 in the medium and high dose groups of COE were significantly reduced （P<0.01）， while the expression of MUC5AC and MUC6 were significantly increased in the low， medium， and high dose groups of COE （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， Wnt inhibitors could promote the expression of MUC5AC and MUC6 in gastric organoids （P<0.05， P<0.01） and reduce the expression of MUC2， Wnt， and β-catenin. In addition， the combined use of COE at high concentrations and Wnt inhibitors could further promote this trend （P<0.01）. ConclusionCOE inhibits the Wnt/β-catenin pathway by inhibiting the expression of Lgr5， MUC2， Wnt， and β-catenin and promoting the expression of MUC5AC and MUC6， thus promoting the proliferation and differentiation of gastric organoids and reversing the PLGC process.

Compared with the control group, the observation group had significantly higher levels of mastery of clinical inquiry ability, specialized physical examination, development of diagnosis and treatment regimen, doctor-patient communication ability, and clinical practice ability, as well as a significantly higher overall teaching satisfaction score ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Mind map combined with daily mini-clinical evaluation exercise is a simple and feasible teaching method and can help to improve the comprehensive clinical practice ability of trainees receiving standardized residency training, and therefore, it holds promise for application in teaching.

The current document is based on a consensus reached by a panel of experts from the Chinese Society of Allergy and the Chinese Society of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Rhinology Group. Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) affects approximately 8% of Chinese adults. The inflammatory and remodeling mechanisms of CRS in the Chinese population differ from those observed in the populations of European descent. Recently, precision medicine has been used to treat inflammation by targeting key biomarkers that are involved in the process. However, there are no CRS guidelines or a consensus available from China that can be shared with the international academia. The guidelines presented in this paper cover the epidemiology, economic burden, genetics and epigenetics, mechanisms, phenotypes and endotypes, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, management, and the current status of CRS in China. These guidelines—with a focus on China—will improve the abilities of clinical and medical staff during the treatment of CRS. Additionally, they will help international agencies in improving the verification of CRS endotypes, mapping of eosinophilic shifts, the identification of suitable biomarkers for endotyping, and predicting responses to therapies. In conclusion, these guidelines will help select therapies, such as pharmacotherapy, surgical approaches and innovative biotherapeutics, which are tailored to each of the individual CRS endotypes.

With the continuous improvement of modern medical technology, medical practice has become more and more procedural. The medical process is often dominated by doctors, while the value orientation of patients is often ignored, lacking effective communication between doctors and patients. In response to this phenomenon, Charon R proposed the concept of narrative medicine, which has been recognized by all walks of life. In recent years, the value of medical humanism has attracted more attention, and the research on narrative medicine at home and abroad is increasing gradually. But at present, most of the research on narrative medicine is in terms of theory, lacking clinical research. How to make narrative medicine applied in the real world is the focus of current research. Following the concept of narrative medicine, and taking the study on doctor-patient parallel medical record to evaluate the real clinical efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) and Western medicine(WM) in the treatment of digestive diseases as an example, this study is to explore the design contents and key points of the clinical trial scheme of doctor-patient co-construction of TCM and WM under narrative medicine, and discuss the activity form and clinical efficacy evaluation method under narrative medicine. Clinical trial design includes four aspects: medicine, ethics, statistics and trial management. This study explored the design of the doctor-patient co-construction clinical trial scheme under narrative medicine from both theoretical and practical aspects, providing reference for the design and research of future doctor-patient co-construction scheme, and expecting to establish a better efficacy evaluation method of TCM and WM.

OBJECTIVE: This study is aimed to report the development, the reliability and validity of the Chinese Children Physical Activity Questionnaire (CCPAQ) which was designed for the assessment of physical activity pattern in young population in China. METHODS: The CCPAQ was administered for two times in 119 children (mean age 13.1 ± 2.4 years; boys 47%) to examine reliability by using intraclass correlation coefficients. Validity was determined in 106 participants by agreement with the CCPAQ measures and the objective method, the ActiGraph accelerometer. Data on physical activity pattern including time spent on different intensities and total physical activity, sedentary behavior as well as physical activity energy expenditure were used to assess the validity with Spearman's correlation coefficient and the Bland-Altman plots. RESULTS: The reliability coefficient of the CCPAQ ranged from 0.63-0.93 (Intra-class correlation coefficient). Spearman's correlation coefficient for validity of time spent on total physical activity and sedentary behavior were all 0.32 (P < 0.001), and for physical activity energy expenditure was 0.58 (P < 0.001). Time spent on moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and light physical activity showed a relatively low correlation with the accelerometer (rho = 0.20, P = 0.040; rho = 0.19, P = 0.054). CONCLUSION The CCPAQ appears to be a promising and feasible method to assess physical activity pattern in Chinese children.

OBJECTIVE: The primary objective of this study was to examine the validity and reliability of a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) among Chinese children aged 12-17 years. METHODS: A semi-quantitative 72-food item FFQ was developed for children aged 12-17 years. The reliability and validity of this FFQ were evaluated against 24-h dietary recalls (24 h DRs) to measure the consumption of foods and nutrients. We administered two FFQs and three DRs to children (N = 160) over a period of 1 month to evaluate the reliability and validity. Reliability was examined by quartile agreement and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs), and validity was examined by quartile agreement, Bland-Altman plots and correlation with DRs. RESULTS: For reliability, the ICCs between the two FFQs ranged from 0.21 to 0.76 for foods and nutrients, and the quartile agreement ranged from 70.0% to 95.0% in the same or adjacent quartiles. Spearman's correlation coefficients of foods and nutrients between the second FFQ and the 24 h DRs ranged from -0.04 to 0.59. The Bland-Altman plots demonstrated good agreement across the range of intakes among nutrients. The quartile agreement ranged from 50.0% to 100.0%, with infrequent misclassification. CONCLUSION The FFQ assessment of dietary intakes demonstrated acceptable relative validity and high reproducibility for Chinese children aged 12-17 years.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the molecular basis for a blood donor with an ABO subtype. METHODS: The proband and his family members were subjected to serological analysis. Their genotypes were determined by real-time PCR and sequencing of the coding regions of ABO gene. RESULTS: The proband was determined as an ABw subtype. By sequencing analysis, the proband was typed as A102/BW03. Compared with ABO*B.01, the proband was found to harbor a 721C>T variant (ABO*BW.03 allele) in exon 7 of the ABO gene, which caused substitution of Arginine at position 241 by Tryptophan resulting in a ABW phenotype. The blood type of the proband's sister was similar to that of the proband. The maternal serological pattern was B type, and the result of sequencing suggested that the genotype fit with B101/Bw03. CONCLUSION The 721C>T in the exon 7 of the ABO glycosyltransferase gene probably underlies the Bw03 phenotype. The ABO*Bw.03 variant of the proband and his sister were inherited from their mother.

This systematic review aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Wenxin Granules in the treatment of chronic heart failure with atrial fibrillation. Databases,such as CNKI,Wan Fang Date,VIP,PubMed,Cochrane Library,were electronically retrieved for relevant randomized controlled trials of Wenxin Granules in the treatment of chronic heart failure with atrial fibrillation. Two researchers independently screened out the literatures,extracted data according to the inclusion criteria,and conducted a quality assessment by the risk bias assessment tool in the Cochrane evaluation manual. Cochrane systematic evaluation software Rev Man 5. 3 was used for data analysis. Totally 11 randomized controlled trials,including 941 subjects. The intervention measures were the conventional treatment recommended by the guidelines combined with Wenxin Granules; and the control measures were the conventional treatment recommended by the guidelines alone. The results showed that compared with conventional treatment alone,Wenxin Granules combined with conventional treatment can better reduce the BNP level in patients with heart failure with atrial fibrillation( MD =-258. 18,95% CI[-464. 06,-52. 30],P= 0. 01) or NT-proBNP level,better improve left ventricular ejection fraction( MD = 6. 72,95%CI[4. 61,8. 84],P<0. 000 01),I~2= 65%,And the ventricular rate decreased more significantly( MD =-11. 66,95% CI[-15. 79,-7. 54],P<0. 000 01),and the cardiac function was improved more efficiently( RR = 1. 20,95%CI [1. 11,1. 31],P<0. 000 1),I~2= 23%.In conclusion,compared with the single administration of conventional Western medicine,the combined administration of Wenxin Granules has better effects in reducing the level of BNP or NT-proBNP,slowing down the ventricular rate,and improving the left ventricular ejection fraction,with fewer adverse reactions. However,due to the small sample size and the low quality of literatures included in this systematic review,it is shall be carefully applied in clinic. More rigorous randomized controlled trials shall be conducted to determine the efficacy of Wenxin Granules in improving cardiac function in the treatment of chronic heart failure with atrial fibrillation.
