The Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor (《黄帝内经》) constructs its theoretical system under the influence of the holistic, symbolic, and holographic mental models of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It lays the theoretical foundation of TCM and provides a paradigm for TCM theory construction, serving as an original academic gene and theoretical source for the inheritance and innovation of modern TCM. Based on the theoretical paradigms derived from The Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor, the holistic mental model, the symbolic mental model, and the holographic mental model in shaping nature-human medicine theory, imagery-based theory, and fractal theory, this study revealed that TCM theory relies on the cognitive framework of traditional cultural mental models. On this basis, we proposed that the modern TCM mental model should return to its roots while fostering innovation, integrating tradition with modernity by combining macroscopic with microscopic perspectives, scientific with humanistic cognition, as well as evidence-based research with digital and artificial intelligence technologies. Furthermore, with a future-oriented approach, this paper discussed on the strategies for reshaping the modern TCM mental model from three dimensions of TCM diagnosis and treatment, TCM education, and TCM research, which could not only preserve the traditional clinical thinking characteristics of TCM, but also innovate modern TCM practice.

Objective To explore the mediating role of mindfulness between work immersion and professional well-being in clinical nurses. Methods A total of 477 clinical nurses were selected as the research subjects using the convenience sampling method. The levels of mindfulness, work immersion, and professional well-being among the clinical nurses were surveyed using the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale, the Emergency Department Nurse Work Immersion Experience Questionnaire, and the Medical Workers' Professional Well-being Scale, respectively. A structural equation model was constructed using AMOS 26.0 software. Results The total scores of mindfulness level, work immersion, and professional well-being among clinical nurses were (68.9±11.4), (134.1±20.2), and (89.1±12.6) points, respectively. The total score of mindfulness level was positively correlated with work immersion and professional well-being [correlation coefficients (r) were 0.566 and 0.344, respectively, both P<0.01], and the total score of work immersion was positively correlated with professional well-being (r=0.431, P<0.01). The mediating effect of mindfulness in work immersion and professional well-being was 0.059, with a 95% confidence interval of (0.014-0.108), accounting for 19.5% of the total effect. Conclusion The level of mindfulness among clinical nurses is relatively high. Mindfulness plays a partial mediating role between work immersion and professional well-being.

Abstract
The application of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in the field of mental health is becoming increasingly extensive and in depth. As digital natives, children and adolescents are experiencing a significant shift in the prevention, identification, and intervention of their mental health issues:transitioning from traditional models to intelligent and digital approaches. At present, the mental health status of children and adolescents in China is not optimistic, with emotional disorders such as depression and anxiety showing a trend toward younger onset. However, the traditional mental health service model faces multiple challenges, including a shortage of professionals, low service accessibility, and difficulties in early identification. The study systematically reviews the current application status of AI technology in the mental health field of children and adolescents, including the latest progress in screening, assessment, intervention, and treatment; deeply analyzes the key challenges currently faced; and proposes suggestions for promoting the deep integration of AI technology and mental health services for children and adolescents, providing theoretical support and practical guidance for the intelligent, precise, and inclusive development of mental health services.

Modulating Tankyrases (TNKS), interactions with USP25 to promote TNKS degradation, rather than inhibiting their enzymatic activities, is emerging as an alternative/specific approach to inhibit the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Here, we identified UAT-B, a novel neoantimycin analog isolated from Streptomyces conglobatus, as a small-molecule inhibitor of TNKS-USP25 protein-protein interaction (PPI) to overcome multi-drug resistance in colorectal cancer (CRC). The disruption of TNKS-USP25 complex formation by UAT-B led to a significant decrease in TNKS levels, triggering cell apoptosis through modulation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Importantly, UAT-B successfully inhibited the CRC cells growth that harbored high TNKS levels, as demonstrated in various in vitro and in vivo studies utilizing cell line-based and patient-derived xenografts, as well as APCmin/+ spontaneous CRC models. Collectively, these findings suggest that targeting the TNKS-USP25 PPI using a small-molecule inhibitor represents a compelling therapeutic strategy for CRC treatment, and UAT-B emerges as a promising candidate for further preclinical and clinical investigations.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) on postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) in elderly patients undergoing long-time abdominal surgery.Methods:The medical records from elderly patients of both sexes, aged ≥ 65 yr, with a duration of operation ≥ 8 h and American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅱ or Ⅲ, undergoing elective first abdominal surgery for gastrointestinal tumors at the Shanxi Provincial People′s Hospital from October 1, 2016 to June 30, 2022, were collected from the electronic medical record database. Patients were divided into conventional fluid therapy group (group C) and GDFT group (group G) according to whether GDFT was employed during operation. In group C, blood pressure was maintained ≥90/60 mmHg or mean arterial pressure≥65 mmHg, and urine output more than 30 ml/h. In group G, the stroke volume variation was maintained ≤13%, and cardiac index ≥2.5 L·min -1·m -2. The patient general characteristics, requirement for fluid, urine output, blood loss, requirement for vasoactive agents and abdominal hyperthermic perfusion, and operation time were recorded during operation. The development of AKI within 72 h after operation and development of other complications (pneumonia, anastomotic leakage, surgical site infection, septic shock, arrhythmia) after operation were recorded. The length of hospital stay and 30-day mortality after operation were recorded. Results:A total of 125 patients were included in this study, with 41 patients in group C and 84 patients in group G. Postoperative AKI occurred in 19 patients, with an incidence of 15.2%. Compared with group C, the requirement for colloid, total volume of fluid infused and urine volume were significantly decreased during operation, the requirement for vasoactive agents was increased during operation ( P<0.05), the risk of postoperative AKI was reduced ( OR=0.23, P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the incidence of other postoperative complications, 30-day mortality, and length of hospital stay in group G ( P>0.05). Conclusions:GDFT can reduce the risk of AKI in the elderly patients undergoing long-time abdominal surgery.

ObjectiveTo compare the effects of different doses and withdrawal time of 4-vinylcyclohexene diepoxide (VCD) on the reproductive endocrine levels of female rats, and to explore the effective, stable, and safe dosage of VCD for constructing a premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) rat model. MethodSD rats with regular estrous cycles were randomly divided into three groups: blank group, low-dose VCD group (80 mg·kg-1·d-1), and high-dose VCD group (160 mg·kg-1·d-1), with 24 rats in each group. After drug intervention, samples were collected on the 15th day (D15) and the 45th day (D45) after intervention. The general condition, rate of estrous cycle disturbance, serum hormone levels, ovarian histomorphology, follicle count, pregnancy outcome, and the protein and mRNA expression of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β and Smad2/3 were assessed. ResultCompared with the blank group, the low-dose VCD group showed no significant differences in the rate of estrous cycle disturbance or serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and estradiol (E2) levels. Ovarian tissue was damaged. Specifically, the number of primordial and primary follicles decreased on D15 (P<0.01), and the number of secondary follicles (P<0.01) and antral follicles (P<0.05) further decreased on D45. The litter number decreased on D15 (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference on D45. Furthermore, TGF-β protein levels increased on D15 (P<0.05) and D45 (P<0.01). The Smad2/3 levels increased on D45 (P<0.01), and TGF-β and Smad2/3 mRNA levels increased on D45 (P<0.05). Compared with the results in the blank group, the disturbance rate of the estrous cycle increased on D45 in the high-dose VCD group (P<0.01). The serum of FSH and LH increased (P<0.01), while E2 decreased (P<0.05). Ovarian tissue was damaged, and the downward trend of follicles at all levels was similar to that in the low-dose VCD group. The litter number significantly decreased on D15 and D45. TGF-β and Smad2/3 protein levels increased (P<0.05,P<0.01), and TGF-β mRNA increased on D45 (P<0.05). ConclusionHigh-dose VCD is an ideal method for constructing a POI rat model, being effective, stable, and safe.

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy and safety of Cefazolin sodium for injection, Cefuroxime sodium for injection, and Ceftazidime for injection from nationally organized centralized drug procurement (hereinafter referred to as “centralized procurement”) and non-centralized procurement in patients with bacterial infection. METHODS The case data of hospitalized patients who had used 3 kinds of Cephalosporins for injection from centralized procurement or non-centralized procurement in the treatment of bacterial infections were retrospectively collected from 19 medical institutions in Kunming from January 2020 to September 2022. After balancing the baseline differences between the groups with the propensity score matching method, the effectiveness and safety differences of 3 kinds of Cephalosporins for injection from centralized procurement or non- centralized procurement were compared respectively. RESULTS After balancing the baseline differences among the groups, 394 cases in each group of Cefazolin sodium for injection from centralized procurement or non-centralized procurement, 472 cases in each group of Cefuroxime sodium for injection from centralized procurement or non-centralized procurement, 504 cases in group of Ceftazidime for injection from centralized procurement and 590 cases in group of non-centralized procurement were included in the analysis. In terms of effectiveness, there were no significant differences in clinical response rate, 72 h response rate, bacterial clearance rate, and the recovery rate of body temperature, white blood cell count, neutrophil count, neutrophil percentage, C-reactive protein, procalcitonin recovery between the centralized procurement group and non-centralized procurement group of Cefazolin sodium for injection and Cefuroxime sodium for injection (P>0.05). The proportion of patients in centralized procurement group of Ceftazidime for injection with C-reactive protein restored to normal reference range was significantly higher than that in non-centralized procurement group (46.9% vs. 27.9%, P<0.05), but there were no statistically significant differences in other effectiveness indicators among groups (P>0.05). In terms of safety, there was no statistical difference in the incidence of adverse drug reactions between centralized procurement group and non-centralized procurement group of 3 kinds of Cephalosporins for injection (P>0.05); the incidence of platelet count reduction in centralized procurement group of Cefazolin sodium for injection was significantly higher than non-centralized procurement group (20.7% vs. 7.1%, P<0.05), the incidence of eosinophilia elevation in centralized procurement group of Ceftazidime for injection was significantly higher than non-centralized procurement group (5.3% vs. 1.9%, P<0.05). In addition, there was no statistically significant difference in the abnormal rates of other laboratory indicators among the three types of injection Cephalosporins (P> 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The efficacy of 3 kinds of Cephalosporin for injection from centralized procurement is not inferior to non- centralized procurement varieties, and the safety is equivalent to that of non-centralized procurement varieties.

Objective:To analyze epidemiology of gastric cancer five-year survival distribution in Zhejiang population-based cancer registration.Methods:The follow-up data of registrated gastric cancer cases diagnosed from 2008 to 2019 in 22 national cancer registry areas of Zhejiang Province were collected and divided into three diagnostic periods: 2008-2011, 2012-2015 and 2016-2019 to calculate five-year observed survival rates (OSRs), five-year relative survival rates (RSRs) and five-year age-standardized relative survival rates (ARSRs). The distribution of population characteristics (including gender, urban/rural, age group and occupation) and clinical characteristics (including the highest diagnostic institution, sub-site, pathological type and degree of differentiation) of gastric cancer survival rates in each period were analysed.Results:51 663 new cases of gastric cancer in 2008-2019 in the cancer registration area of Zhejiang Province were included in the analysis, and the ARSR of gastric cancer in 2008-2011, 2012-2015 and 2016-2019 showed an increasing trend (39.2%, 41.3% and 44.7%, respectively). In 2016-2019, the ARSR was similar across gender and urban and rural areas (44.4% for men and 45.7% for women; 44.9% in urban areas and 44.2% in rural areas); Among people with different occupations, the ARSR was highest among business and service workers (55.3%), the agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fisheries, water conservancy production workers and domestic workers were lower (41.5% and 43.2%, respectively). The highest diagnostic institution was the provincial hospital with a higher gastric cancer survival rate (47.0%) than the municipal (43.4%) and district (43.6%) levels. The ARSR for gastric cancer was relatively high in the lesser curvature (59.7%), pylorus (50.4%), antrum (49.3%), and greater curvature (48.7%), and lowest in cardia (38.9%). Among the major pathological types, adenocarcinoma (NOS) had an ARSR of 48.1%, mucinous adenocarcinoma 41.3%, imprinted cell carcinoma 39.4%, and squamous carcinoma 33.4%. The ARSR for highly differentiated, moderately differentiated, poorly differentiated and undifferentiated gastric cancers were 80.6%, 57.9%, 43.2% and 36.8%, respectively.Conclusion:The 5-year survival rate of gastric cancer in Zhejiang Province is high and on the rise, with similar survival rates in different genders, urban and rural areas, and significant differences in the survival rates of gastric cancer patients with different occupational groups, highest diagnostic institutions, tumour sub-sites, pathological types and differentiation degrees.
