Shared Decision-Making (SDM) is a crucial concept in modern medicine, emphasizing the joint participation of doctors and patients in the medical decision-making process. However, the authoritative position of doctors and the passive role of patients in traditional medical models often overlook the personal wishes and needs of patients, leading to tense doctor-patient relationships and medical disputes. By listening to and understanding their stories, narrative medicine helps doctors gain a more comprehensive understanding of patients’ situations and balances medical advice with patient needs in the decision-making process. Through systematic literature analysis and theoretical exploration, this paper investigated the application effects and mechanisms of narrative medicine in different medical contexts, as well as analyzed its specific role in the process of SDM. The aim is to explore the value of narrative medicine in bridging differences in SDM, revealing its role in promoting doctor-patient communication, enhancing decision-making participation, and improving medical outcomes. Researches had found that narrative medicine enhanced doctors’ “narrative ability”, promoted emotional communication and trust between doctors and patients, reduced conflicts and misunderstandings in decision-making, and improved patients’ sense of participation and trust, thus playing an important role in SDM. Therefore, by enhancing doctor-patient communication and understanding, promoting SDM and treatment selection between doctors and patients, personalized care and treatment optimization, advocating for doctor-patient co-construction, improving consultation efficiency, restoring the patient’s subject position, and other methods, it can bridge doctor-patient differences, promote communication and enhance decision-making participation, and improve medical outcomes and patient satisfaction.

Objective:To evaluate the correlation between Card 9 gene polymorphism and acute pancreatitis(AP).Methods:70 AP patients and 70 healthy subjects from Shanghai Songjiang District Central Hospital from June 2019 to February 2020 were enrolled. TaqMan probe method was used to assay genotype distributions of the Card 9 polymorphisms rs10870077, rs4077515, rs10781499, rs141992399, rs139265120. Real-time quantitative PCR was used to determine the level of Card 9 mRNA, electrochemiluminescence immunoassay was applied to assay IL-6 and procalcitonin, and nephelometry was performed to measure the C-reactive protein(CRP).Results:Compared with the control group, the genotype and allele frequency of Card 9 gene rs10870077 C>G were significantly elevated in AP patients with statistically significant difference (31.4% vs 50.0%, P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference on the allele frequency of Card 9 rs4077515AG and rs10781499AG, especially on rs141992399 C>G and rs139265120 A>G. C>Gpolymorphism in Card 9 rs10870077 resulted in an obvious increase of serum Card 9 mRNA expression in AP patients from 3.90±1.96 to 6.20±2.82, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05), but there was no statistically significant difference on the Card 9 mRNA between AP patients with Card 9 rs4077515AG and rs10781499AG and the controls. IL level in AP patients with Card 9 rs10870077CG was greatly higher than that in those with Card 9 rs10870077 CC and GG [(614.7±1531.8 ng/L vs (372.5±1127.9)and (385.5±598.7)ng/L]. But compared with GG genotype, CRP level was obviously decreased [(34.84±50.64)mg/L vs (55.30±87.02)mg/L], and the procalcitonin was obviously increased [(1.98±4.70)μg/L vs (0.77±1.12)μg/L], and all the differences were statistically significant (all P value<0.05). Conclusions:Card 9 rs10870077 C>G mutation could upregulate the expression of Card 9 mRNA and increase IL-6 level, which may be a high risk for the occurrence of AP patients.

Over the past decade, syndromic surveillance, as supplementation of disease surveillance, has provided possibility of early alert in a real-time way for detection of emerging infectious diseases and outbreaks of widespread infectious diseases, resulting in improvement in sensitivity of outbreak detection and public health alert capacity. This tool has been highly valued and widely used in the world, and effective implementation has been observed in China. Upon abundant literature search, the authors reviewed the progress and advance of syndromic surveillance in early alert of emerging infectious diseases and outbreaks, and analyzed the problem met in the current situation in China when implementing syndromic surveillance in local facilities, which are high cost, lack of medical information platform, lack of real-time digital alert system and lack of a comprehensive information exchange platform. The authors suggested that syndromic surveillance should be implemented considering the local situation and performed in a more effective way in the current situation. Syndromic surveillance has to be integrated into the conventional public health surveillance systems and advanced laboratory networks. Digital information system is urgently needed to achieve real-time alert.

BACKGROUND:Neural stem cels can repair the damaged brain tissues with potentials of proliferation and differentiation, which become one of the important directions for treating cerebral palsy. OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical effect and safety of neural stem cel transplantation on the treatment of cerebral palsy in children. METHODS:Neural stem cels were isolated from human embryonic brain and identified by immunofluorescence staining, which were transplanted intravenously into 26 children with cerebral palsy. Children's motor functions were evaluated by gross motor function measure scale and Peabody development motor scale-fine motor scale before treatment, and 3 and 6 months after treatment. Routine blood test and liver-kidney function were detected before and after treatment. Clinical adverse reactions in children with cerebral palsy were monitored. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The lost cases were not found during 6 months of folow-up. Specific proteins of neural stem cels were al positive in this study. At 3 and 6 months after transplantation, the A, B, C functional area scores and total score on the gross motor function measure scale were obviously increased (P < 0.05,P < 0.01), but the C and D functional area scores were not remarkably elevated (P > 0.05). At 3 months after transplantation, the fine motor quotient, grasping subtest and visual-motor integration were not remarkably increased (P > 0.05); these scores, however, were elevated after 6 months with statistical significance (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). The results of routine blood test and liver-kidney function in 26 children were in normal range, and there were no serious adverse reactions during the cel transplantation. Therefore, neural stem cel transplantation has high safety and good curative effects to improve the motor function of children with severe cerebral palsy, especialy for gross motors.
