ObjectiveTo establish the self-reported core outcome set （COS） for patients with an example of a community study on heat-sensitive moxibustion for primary hypertension （PH）， to provide a reference for the selection of effectiveness evaluation indicators in community study on heat-sensitive moxibustion. MethodsA systematic literature search was conducted to collect outcomes used in randomized controlled trials and systematic review of heat-sensitive moxibustion for PH （Jan 2021）， and additional outcomes were added through patient and expert questionnaires （Feb 2021） to create a pool of outcome entries. A multidisciplinary expert Delphi survey was conducted to screen outcomes applicable to patient self-reporting （Apr 2021）， and the importance of outcome indicators was rated on a 5-Point Likert Scale. Finally， patient self-reported COS was determined through a consensus conference （June 2021）. ResultsA pool of patient self-reported indicators in the community study of heat-sensitive moxibustion treatment for PH was generated by standardizing and combining the outcome indicators based on the results of the literature search and the questionnaire survey， which consisted of totally 100 measurement tools or contents， excluding 51 indicators or measurement tools required measurement by specialized physicians or hospital equipment， and 49 items were retained to enter the initial list of indicator entries. For the first round of Delphi survey， the mean score for expert familiarity was 0.819， the mean score for basis of judgment was 0.710， and the expert authority coefficient was 0.765， with a total of 21 indicator measurement tools or contents deleted （significance score ≤ 75 or coefficient of variation ＞ 0.25）， 28 retained， and 3 new expert-added indicator entries added. In the second round of Delphi survey， the average score for expert familiarity was 0.859， the average score for basis for judgment was 0.763， and the expert authority coefficient was 0.811， with a total of 11 indicator measurement tools or contents deleted and 20 retained involving 5 domains. Following an expert consensus meeting， 8 outcome indicators were finalized for inclusion in the patient self-reported COS， including 6 indicators of effectiveness evaluation such as quality-of-life scores， blood pressure， traditional Chinese medicine symptom scores， cost-benefit， cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events， and adverse reactions/events， and 2 indicators of factors influencing effectiveness such as sensation of heat-sensitive moxibustion， and adherence. ConclusionIn this study， we initially established a criteria for evaluating the effectiveness in the community study on heat-sensitive moxibustion by constructing patient self-reported COS in the community study on heat-sensitive moxibustion for PH， which can provide a scientific research paradigm for the subsequent development of the community study on heat-sensitive moxibustion.

Acute leukemia（AL）is a common hematological malignancy in children and adolescents. Chemotherapy is currently the primary treatment for AL.Alternative therapies，such as hematopoietic stem cell transplantation（HSCT），targeted therapy，and immunotherapy also offer greater hope for the survival of refractory/relapsed patients. Chemotherapeutic drugs，radiotherapy，targeted drugs and immunotherapeutic drugs are well-applied clinically，meanwhile posing threats to non-target systems. The adverse effects on the reproductive system may lead to the dilemma of infertility，thus reducing the long-term quality of life. As the survival rate of AL patients keeps increasing continuously，the influence of different treatments on the gonad function needs to be clarified. With the help of targeted fertility prevention，the patient′s quality of life can be enhanced in parallel with life span. This article aims to review the impact of AL treatment on ovarian function in female children and adolescents and provide ideas for the long-term fertility protection of leukemia patients.

Objective:The predictive model of cardiac arrest in the emergency room was constructed and validated based on Logistic regression.Methods:This study was a retrospective cohort study. Patients admitted to the emergency room of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from January 2020 to July 2021 were included. The general information, vital signs, clinical symptoms, and laboratory examination results of the patients were collected, and the outcome was cardiac arrest within 24 hours. The patients were randomly divided into modeling and validation group at a ratio of 7:3. LASSO regression and multivariable logistic regression were used to select predictive factors and construct a prediction model for cardiac arrest in the emergency room. The value of the prediction model was evaluated using the area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC), calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA).Results:A total of 784 emergency room patients were included in the study, 384 patients occurred cardiac arrest. The 10 variables were ultimately selected to construct a risk prediction model for cardiac arrest: Logit( P)= -4.503+2.159×modified early warning score (MEWS score)+2.095×chest pain+1.670×abdominal pain+ 2.021×hematemesis+2.015×cold extremities+5.521×endotracheal intubation+0.388×venous blood lactate-0.100×albumin+0.768×K ++0.001×D-dimer. The AUC of the model group was 0.984 (95% CI: 0.976-0.993) and that of the validation group was 0.972 (95% CI: 0.951-0.993). This prediction model demonstrates good calibration, discrimination, and clinical applicability. Conclusions:Based on the MEWS score, chest pain, abdominal pain, hematemesis, cold extremities, tracheal intubation, venous blood lactate, albumin, K +, and D-dimer, a predictive model for cardiac arrest in the in-hospital emergency room was constructed to predict the probability of cardiac arrest in emergency room patients and adjust the treatment strategy in time.

Objective: To explore perceived social support levels of vocational school students and associated factors, so as to provide a basis for the fine tuned construction of social support networks for vocational school students. Methods: Adopting a combination of multi stage cluster sampling and convenience sampling method, a sample of 11 767 vocational school students in Shanghai City and Jiangsu Province were selected to conduct two surveys (November 2021 and November 2022) by using a self administered electronic questionnaire regarding personal, family, school information and the Child and Adolescent Social Support Scale (CASSS). Correlates were analyzed by generalized linear estimating equations (GEE). Results: The total perceived social support scores in percentage at baseline and follow up survey were (66.13±20.46) and (67.65±21.18). The results of GEE showed that in terms of personal characteristics, girls had higher emotional support and evaluative support scores than boys ( B=0.60, 0.68, P < 0.05 ); extraversion, non-smoking, non-drinking, exercising ≥1 time per week, and better quality of sleep were positively correlated with the total score and the different types scores of precieved social support, and time spent on the Internet >2 h/d was negatively correlated with the total score and the different types scores of precieved social support ( B=1.03-4.49, -4.04--0.58, P < 0.05 ). In terms of family characteristics, parents not in marriage and living with (external) grandparents were negatively correlated with the total score and different types scores of percieved social support, while family characteristics such as satisfaction with family income (average, satisfactory, very satisfactory) and parents education level of junior high school and above were positively correlated with the total score and the different types scores of precieved social support ( B=-1.34--0.37, 0.57-2.37, P <0.05). In terms of school characteristics, without experience of bullying in school and the number of same sex or opposite sex friends >1 were positively correlated with the total score and different types scores of perceptual social support, and without serving as an officer of a student organization was negatively correlated with the total score and the different types scores of precieved social support ( B= 1.21- 5.04, -2.00--0.76, P <0.05). Conclusions The levels of overall and different types of precieved social support among vocational school students need to be improved. According to individual, family, and school related factors of precieved social support can help to target the improvement of students precieved social support level.

Objective:To systemically evaluate the characteristics of cytokine levels in intraocular fluid of neovascular glaucoma (NVG).Methods:Literature on the detection of cytokine levels in NVG published before June 2022 was searched in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang databases, and China Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP).Two investigators independently completed the literature search, inclusion, and data extraction following the inclusion and exclusion criteria.Quantitative analyses were performed using Stata 16.0 software.Study heterogeneity was assessed using the I2 test, and effects were combined using the appropriate effect model to complete the meta-analysis. Results:A total of 24 studies were screened, including 771 NVG cases and 727 age-related cataract cases (control group).The standardized mean difference ( SMD) of the combined effect value of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mass concentration in the aqueous humor between the two groups was 8.79, with a 95% confidence interval ( CI) of 6.43 to 11.14.The SMD of interleukin-6 (IL-6) between the two groups was 12.50, with a 95% CI of 9.41 to 15.58.The VEGF and IL-6 levels in aqueous humor and vitreous humor were significantly higher in NVG group than in control group (all at P<0.05).The pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) level in aqueous humor was lower in NVG group than in control group ( SMD: -3.03, 95% CI: -5.50--0.55, P<0.05).The levels of IL-8 ( SMD: 3.99, 95% CI: 1.14-6.85), erythropoietin (EPO) ( SMD: 9.62, 95% CI: 0.44-18.79), placental growth factor (PIGF) ( SMD: 2.62, 95% CI: 1.38-3.86), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) ( SMD: 3.37, 95% CI: 1.87-4.87) were all significantly higher in NVG group than in control group (all at P<0.05).There was no significant difference in IL-1β level in aqueous humor between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:In NVG patients, VEGF, IL-6, IL-8, EPO, PIGF, TNF-α levels are obviously increased and PEDF level is obviously decreased.These biomarkers can be used as potential predictors or therapeutic targets for NVG.

Pien Tze Huang(PZH),a class-1 nationally protected traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),has been used to treat liver diseases such as hepatitis;however,the effect of PZH on the progression of sepsis is un-known.Here,we reported that PZH attenuated lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced sepsis in mice and reduced LPS-induced production of proinflammatory cytokines in macrophages by inhibiting the acti-vation of mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK)and nuclear factor-kappa B(NF-κB)signalling.Mechanistically,PZH stimulated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(STAT3)phosphory-lation to induce the expression of A20,which could inhibit the activation of NF-κB and MAPK signalling.Knockdown of the bile acid(BA)receptor G protein-coupled bile acid receptor 1(TGR5)in macrophages abolished the effects of PZH on STAT3 phosphorylation and A20 induction,as well as the LPS-induced inflammatory response,suggesting that BAs in PZH may mediate its anti-inflammatory effects by acti-vating TGR5.Consistently,deprivation of BAs in PZH by cholestyramine resin reduced the effects of PZH on the expression of phosphorylated-STAT3 and A20,the activation of NF-κB and MAPK signalling,and the production of proinflammatory cytokines,whereas the addition of BAs to cholestyramine resin-treated PZH partially restored the inhibitory effects on the production of proinflammatory cytokines.Overall,our study identifies BAs as the effective components in PZH that activate TGR5-STAT3-A20 signalling to ameliorate LPS-induced sepsis.

Objective To develop a teaching strategy which is suitable for training talents and improving teaching quality in field of clinical gynecological oncology.Methods Seventy-eight clinical students of grade 2020 in a medi-cal university were divided into control group(n=38)and research group(n=40).The"3+2"teaching mode of team-based learning(TBL)and workshop(WS)were adopted,and the learning outcome was evaluated at preview preparation,knowledge application and the questionnaire survey of students,so as to promote the cultivation of clinical reasoning of medical students.Results Compared with traditional teaching method,TBL+WS teaching group had better academic performance.The difference of before class tests and final exams was more significant[17.53±6.15 points and(76.81±5.10)points,respectively,P＜0.001].However,among the eight dimensions of the classroom teaching questionnaire,the teaching quality dimension was the highest(97.5%).More students think that this model had a positive effect on cultivating clinical thinking and developing new knowledge.Conclu-sions This integrated teaching strategy improves the quality of obstetrics and gynecology teaching and suppots students'capacity building on clinical reasoning.
