Confucian emotionalism advocates that “emotion” is the starting point of humanity and even the way of heaven， a specific state of interpersonal relationships and life activities， as well as the basic way for people to connect with themselves， others， and the external world. Epidemic response measures in ancient China exhibited distinct characteristics of Confucian emotionalism， which are manifested as the emotional background of “benevolence” as the core， the emotional standard of “righteousness” as the orientation， and the emotional community of “harmony between humans and nature” as the purpose. The analysis of traditional Chinese epidemic response from the perspective of Confucian emotionalism can provide inspiration for contemporary public health governance， namely， paying attention to the role of emotional elements and overcoming instrumental rationalism； accepting uncertainty and reshaping human cognition of the epidemic； focusing on emotional connection and Building a Global Community of Health for Acl community. Thus， the harmonious coexistence between individuals， between humans and society， and between humans and nature can be realized.

Pulpotomy, which belongs to vital pulp therapy, has become a strategy for managing pulpitis in recent decades. This minimally invasive treatment reflects the recognition of preserving healthy dental pulp and optimizing long-term patient-centered outcomes. Pulpotomy is categorized into partial pulpotomy (PP), the removal of a partial segment of the coronal pulp tissue, and full pulpotomy (FP), the removal of whole coronal pulp, which is followed by applying the biomaterials onto the remaining pulp tissue and ultimately restoring the tooth. Procedural decisions for the amount of pulp tissue removal or retention depend on the diagnostic of pulp vitality, the overall treatment plan, the patient's general health status, and pulp inflammation reassessment during operation. This statement represents the consensus of an expert committee convened by the Society of Cariology and Endodontics, Chinese Stomatological Association. It addresses the current evidence to support the application of pulpotomy as a potential alternative to root canal treatment (RCT) on mature permanent teeth with pulpitis from a biological basis, the development of capping biomaterial, and the diagnostic considerations to evidence-based medicine. This expert statement intends to provide a clinical protocol of pulpotomy, which facilitates practitioners in choosing the optimal procedure and increasing their confidence in this rapidly evolving field.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the risk prediction model of ICU-acquired dysphagia in critically ill patients, and to provide a reference basis for medical practitioners to select or develop suitable risk assessment tools.Methods:Cross-sectional studies, case-control studies, and cohort studies of ICU-acquired dysphagia risk prediction models were searched in eight databases, including Wanfang database, China Biomedical Literature Database, VIP database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Library in both English and Chinese, and the search timeframe was from the construction of the database to July 5th, 2023. and the search was limited to Chinese and English. Literature was independently screened and data were extracted by 2 investigators, and the risk of bias assessment tool for predictive modeling studies was applied to analyze the risk of bias and applicability of the included literature.Results:A total of 8 high-quality papers were included, including 8 predictive models of risk of ICU-acquired dysphagia. The area under the subject operating characteristic curve for the models ranged from 0.750 to 0.980, with 6 models reporting calibration and 2 models having a Hosmer-Lemeshow test P>0.05, indicating good agreement. 2 models were externally validated. Independent predictors reported repeatedly for multivariate models were age ≥ 65 years, chronic lung disease, cerebrovascular disease, comorbid arrhythmias, use of sedative medications and duration of use, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ score ≥ 15, presence of a nasogastric tube, duration of indwelling gastric tube ≥ 72 h, and duration of endotracheal intubation ≥ 72 h. Smaller sample sizes (outcome events), insufficient attention to missing data, variable screening processes irrationality, and model overfitting increased the risk of model bias. Conclusions:The included models showed overall good discrimination and applicability, but their risk of bias was high, and external validation was carried out in only a very few studies. Future studies should refer to transparent reports of multivariate predictive models to develop, update, and validate the models to obtain high-quality predictive models of the risk of ICU-acquired dysphagia, which can provide a reference basis for the development of relevant preventive strategies.

Objective To study the effect of Ditan Decoction combined with aripiprazole and olanzapine in the treatment of schizophrenia and its influence on serum inflammatory factors chnage.Methods Seventy-seven patients with schizophrenia meeting the requirements visiting the outpatient department and hospitalized in Dazu District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Dazu District Mental Health Center from July 2021 to March 2023 were selected as the study subjects and divided into the observation group(n=38)and control group(n=39).The control group was treated with aripiprazole and olanzapine,and the observation group was combined with Ditan Decoction on the basis of the control group.After 8 weeks of treatment,the TCM syndrome scores,Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale(PANSS)score,serum inflammatory factors(IL-6,IL-1β,IL-17)levels were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate was 97.37％in the observation group and 84.65％in the control group,and the difference was statistically signifi-cant(P＜0.05).The TCM syndrome score of each item and total scores after treatment in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05),the PANSS positive symptoms,negative symp-toms,general psychopathology and total scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).The IL-17,IL-6 and IL-1β levels after treatment in observation group were lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Ditan Decoction combined with aripiprazole and olanzapine has significant clinical efficacy in the treatment of schizophrenia,which could further reduce the symptom score of the patients and improve the serum inflammatory factors levels.The treatment is highly safe and worthy of clinical recommendation.

Objective:To investigate the long-term safety and effectiveness of stent implantation for residual pulmonary artery stenosis after complicated congenital heart disease.Methods:The symptoms, signs, echocardiography, cardiac CT, cardiac catheterization, six-minute walking distance, and BNP of 41 patients diagnosed from January 1996 to January 2020. In this group, 41 patients, 30 males and 11 females, aged 1.3-14.5 years old, mean (6.1±3.6) years old, and weighed 8-43 kg, mean (18.9±9.4)kg, compared the diameter of the target vessel, pressure difference across stenosis, cardiac function before and postoperative follow-up, and evaluated the long-term effect of stent implantation in the treatment of pulmonary artery stenosis.Results:All 41 patients were not lost to follow-up, no death, and there were no serious adverse events such as stent fracture, artery dissection and pulmonary embolism during follow-up. The median follow-up time was 7.1 years (3.1 to 13.8 years). As of January 2023, the echocardiographic results showed that the diameter of the target vessels in 41 patients increased from preoperative (3.9±1.5) mm to (6.0±1.5) mm ( P<0.05), the pressure difference across the stenosis decreased from preoperative (51.4±19.1) mmHg to (33.1±19.7) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa, P<0.05); Heart spiral CT showed that the ratio of target vessel diameter to distal vessel diameter increased from preoperative 0.4±0.2 to 0.9±0.3( P<0.05). All patients had no slow growth and development, no recurrent lung infection, 39 patients (95.1%) had gradeⅠcardiac function, and 2 patients (4.9%) had gradeⅡcardiac function.As children in school age, the walking distance of 6 min was 462 to 633 m, mean( 529.9±57.1)m, the respiratory score was 0.5-1, and the lower limb force score was 6-12. There were 5 long-term adverse events, including 4 cases of target vessel restenosis (9.7%), and 1 case (2.4%), two of the patients with restenosis with repeated target vessel stenosis and lateral pulmonary hypertension were surgically intervention: stent removing and pumonary expanding, after 4, 13 years of stent implantation.And the others were still in follow-up, and no further intervention was made. The Cox multivariate survival analysis suggested that right ventricular systolic blood pressure was a risk factor for endpoint events before stent implantation ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The treatment of residual pulmonary artery stenosis after complicated congenital heart disease after percutaneous stent implantation can effectively relieve the right heart pressure overload, improve pulmonary blood flow, stabilize cardiac function, improve the long-term prognosis of patients with complicated congenital heart disease, reduce the chest opening rate of reoperation, and have stable long-term curative effect.

Ribosomopathies encompass a spectrum of disorders arising from impaired ribosome biogenesis and reduced functionality.Mutation or dysexpression of the genes that disturb any finely regulated steps of ribosome biogenesis can result in different types of ribosomopathies in clinic,collectively known as ribosomopathy genes.Emerging data suggest that ribosomopathy patients exhibit a significantly heightened susceptibility to cancer.Abnormal ribosome biogenesis and dysregulation of some ribo-somopathy genes have also been found to be intimately associated with cancer development.The cor-relation between ribosome biogenesis or ribosomopathy and the development of malignancies has been well established.This work aims to review the recent advances in the research of ribosomopathy genes among human cancers and meanwhile,to excavate the potential role of these genes,which have not or rarely been reported in cancer,in the disease development across cancers.We plan to establish a theoretical framework between the ribosomopathy gene and cancer development,to further facilitate the potential of these genes as diagnostic biomarker as well as pharmaceutical targets for cancer treatment.
