Against the backdrop of comprehensively advancing the construction of a “Healthy China” and promoting the core socialist values, the traditional closed governance model of medical humanities is confronted with multiple challenges such as imbalances in health resource allocation, cultural-cognitive conflicts, and data barriers. Grounded in social-ecological system theory, this study argued that the modern evolution of medical humanities inevitably shifted toward a health humanities ecology centered on “people’s health.” Through the value recognition and reconstruction of health humanities, a “four-dimensional” governance framework comprising the value, element, process, and management dimensions was constructed, and corresponding analytical models and measurement indicators were established. It particularly emphasized that medicine represented a means to achieve health, whereas universal health constituted the ultimate value destination of humanistic governance. Furthermore, action pathways for Chinese-style resilience governance were proposed. First, it was necessary to strengthen cooperation promotion mechanisms among multiple stakeholders, thereby highlighting the institutional advantages of socialism in terms of solidarity and collaboration. Second, it was essential to promote data standardization across the entire chain of health humanities governance, thus serving the modernization of China’s national governance system and governance capacity. Third, it was vital to innovate explicit measurement methods for health humanities values, thereby reinforcing quality orientation and responsibility awareness.

Objective:To develop and validate clinical predictive models for identifying poor short-term response to recombinant human growth hormone(rhGH) treatment in children with short stature.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 118 children diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency or idiopathic short stature who were treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University and two other hospitals between January 1, 2020, and January 1, 2024. A poor response to rhGH was defined as a height increase of less than 0.2 standard deviation score(SDS) after 6 months of rhGH treatment. LASSO regression was used to identify predictive variables from baseline and follow-up data. Two logistic regression models were conducted: Model A(incorporating baseline variables only) and model B(incorporating both baseline and follow-up variables), and nomograms were created for visualization. External data and internal resampling were used for dual validation of the models, and their performance was compared.Results:A total of 118 children with short stature were included. Six baseline predictive variables(diagnosis, initial height SDS, bone age, bone age-chronological age difference, rhGH dose, and gender) and one follow-up variable(height SDS after 3 months of rhGH treatment) were identified. Area under the curve values for Model A and Model B were 0.753(95% CI 0.696-0.811) and 0.930(95% CI 0.891-0.975), respectively. Calibration curves, decision curve analysis, and other evaluation metrics demonstrated good discrimination and clinical utility for both models. Model B, incorporating the 3-month follow-up variable, showed superior predictive performance compared to Model A. Conclusions:The clinical prediction models developed in this study(Model A and Model B) are practical and reliable tools for quantitatively, conveniently, and intuitively identifying children with short stature at risk of poor response to rhGH treatment.

Objective To determine the incidence rate of HPV infection or multi-infections at different stages of cervical lesions in the development of cervical cancer , and the impact of specific types of HPV multi-infections on the risk of cervical cancer. Methods 103 samples of cervical tissues were detected and then divid-ed into ICC/HSIL group and LSIL/NILMF group according to the degree of pathological changes. HPV type was determined by PCR product sequencing. E6 nested multiplex PCR was performed to detect HPV multi-infections. Odds ratios were calculated to determinate the association between the sample category (LSIL/NILM or ICC/HSIL) and the specific types of HPV multi-infections. Results In HPV-positive samples, the rate of multi-in-fections had no significant differences between the two groups. Coinfection of HPV68 with HPV16 increased the risk of ICC/HSIL, as compared with HPV16 or HPV68 infection alone. Conclusions High-risk HPV coinfec-tions has a higher risk to induce ICC/HSIL than does HPV infection alone.

Object To investigate the preparation technique and optimal formulation of Breviscapin Sustained release Pellets (BSP) and the release mechanism of breviscapin from the pellets. Methods BSP was prepared by extrusion spheronization method. Based on the studies of influential factors, optimal formulation modified to release drug over 12 h was obtained by the orthogonal design. And release mechanism of breviscapin from BSP was established by equation fitting. Results Prepared BSP has such advantages as simple technique, uniformity in diameters and high loading with even contents. They can release drug for 12 h. And the release of breviscapin could be mainly controlled by diffusion associated with slight erosion. Conclusion Extrusion spheronization method is simple for the preparation of BSP, and useful for the large scale prodution.
