		                        			Objective:
		                        			To explore the types of medication adherence and their influencing factors among inpatients with chronic diseases based on latent profile analysis, so as to provide the basis for improving medication adherence among patients with chronic diseases.
		                        		
		                        			Methods:
		                        			The inpatients with chronic diseases admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical University were selected as the study subjects. Demographic information, chronic disease status, and health education were collected through questionnaire surveys. Medication adherence was assessed using the Medication Adherence Scale and categorized based on the scores of its eight items through latent profile analysis. Factors affecting medication adherence among inpatients with chronic diseases were analyzed using a multinomial logistic regression model.
		                        		
		                        			Results:
		                        			Totally 290 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 97.64%. There were 157 males (54.14%) and 133 females (45.86%), with a median age of 61 (interquartile range, 21) years. The median score of medication adherence was 4.75 (interquartile range, 4.50). Based on latent profile analysis, medication adherence was categorized into three types: subjective neglect with poor adherence (38.97%), subjective confidence with fluctuating adherence (28.28%), and self-reflective with good adherence (32.76%). Multinomial logistic regression analysis showed that compared to the subjective confidence with fluctuating adherence, family monthly income (5 000-10 000 yuan, OR=2.981, 95%CI: 1.055-8.429), comorbidity of chronic diseases (OR=3.478, 95%CI: 1.579-7.661), number of health education sessions received in the past year (≤1 session, OR=0.329, 95%CI: 0.120-0.907; 2 sessions, OR=0.363, 95%CI: 0.138-0.950), and health information literacy scores (<60 points, OR=2.596, 95%CI: 1.209-5.573) were statistically associated with subjective neglect with poor adherence (all P<0.05).
		                        		
		                        			Conclusion
		                        			Subjective neglect with poor medication adherence among inpatients with chronic diseases is associated with family monthly income, comorbidity of chronic diseases, the number of health education sessions received, and health information literacy.

		                        			Under the background of the Healthy China strategy, the integration of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) into the public health emergency response system has become an important measure to enhance the capacity for coping with public health emergencies. In recent years, the role of TCM in responding to such emergencies has become increasingly prominent. Taking major emerging epidemics as an example, TCM has developed a rich theoretical system and practical experience in epidemic prevention and treatment over thousands of years, and has played a significant role in successive outbreaks with its unique advantages. Based on the concept of ''preventing disease before its onset'' and the theoretical framework of treatment based on syndrome differentiation, TCM has achieved remarkable results through early intervention and full participation in the integrated model of TCM and Western medicine, from severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) to corona virus disease-2019 (COVID-19), in improving clinical symptoms and outcomes, reducing adverse reactions, and promoting recovery. From the perspective of the Healthy China strategy, this paper systematically reviews the historical development of TCM in epidemic prevention and treatment, with particular attention to recent epidemics such as SARS, influenza A (H1N1), and COVID-19. It further examines the similarities and differences between TCM and Western medicine in responding to major emerging epidemics, as well as relevant policies related to TCM in epidemic prevention and control. In addition, it summarizes the existing problems in TCM's role in the prevention and treatment of major emerging epidemics, and explores measures to improve its rapid response capacity under the Healthy China strategy. This study not only provides a ''Chinese solution'' for the prevention and control of newly emerging infectious diseases worldwide, but also offers theoretical and practical references for strengthening the public health emergency response system, carrying strategic significance for promoting the modernization and internationalization of TCM.

		                        			Myocardial fibrosis (MF) is a common pathological manifestation of various heart diseases. Due to the non-renewable nature of myocardial cells, the occurrence of MF represents irreversible damage to the myocardium. Previous studies have suggested that fibroblast-mediated collagen deposition is the main mechanism of MF. Recent studies have found that there is an immune regulation mechanism in the heart itself, and macrophage activation/polarization plays an important role in MF. With the deepening of traditional Chinese medicine research, scholars have found that traditional Chinese medicine can interfere with MF by regulating the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) system and the inflammatory process, repairing the extracellular matrix, managing oxidative stress, and maintaining the balance of autophagy. This process is closely related to the activation and M1/M2 polarization of macrophages. Throughout the MF process, macrophage activation is beneficial, but excessive activation will be harmful. In the early stage of MF, appropriate M1 macrophage polarization is conducive to activating immunity and removing harmful substances. In the middle and late stages of MF, appropriate M2 macrophage polarization is conducive to remodeling the damaged myocardium. If macrophage activation is excessive/insufficient, or the balance of M1/M2 macrophage polarization is broken, the effect changes from improvement to destruction. Traditional Chinese medicines that regulate the activation/polarization of macrophages have the effects of replenishing Qi and nourishing Yin, as well as regulating Qi and activating blood, but there are also some heat-clearing, dampness-drying, and detoxification products. Therefore, the occurrence of MF may be caused by Qi and Yin deficiency, damp heat accumulation, and Qi stagnation and blood stasis. By summarizing the biological processes involved in macrophage activation/polarization in MF, this paper expounded on the research progress of traditional Chinese medicine in regulating macrophage activation and M1/M2 polarization from different angles to improve MF, so as to provide a reference for the treatment of MF with traditional Chinese medicine.

		                        			Objective To investigate the effect of E2 signaling in myofibers on muscular macrophage efferocytosis in mice with cardiotoxin-induced acute skeletal muscle injury.Methods Female wild-type C57BL/6 mice with and without ovariectomy and male C57BL/6 mice were given a CTX injection into the anterior tibial muscle to induce acute muscle injury,followed by intramuscular injection of β-estradiol(E2)or 4-hydroxytamoxifen(4-OHT).The changes in serum E2 of the mice were detected using ELISA,and the number,phenotypes,and efferocytosis of the macrophages in the inflammatory exudates and myofiber regeneration and repair were evaluated using immunofluorescence staining and flow cytometry.C2C12 cells were induced to differentiate into mature myotubes,which were treated with IFN-γ for 24 before treatment with β-Estradiol or 4-OHT.The treated myotubes were co-cultured with mouse peritoneal macrophages in a 1:2 ratio,followed by addition of PKH67-labeled apoptotic mouse mononuclear spleen cells induced by UV irradiation,and macrophage efferocytosis was observed using immunofluorescence staining and flow cytometry.Results Compared with the control mice,the female mice with ovariectomy showed significantly increased mononuclear macrophages in the inflammatory exudates,with increased M1 cell percentage,reduced M2 cell percentage and macrophage efferocytosis in the injured muscle,and obviously delayed myofiber regeneration and repair.In the cell co-culture systems,treatment of the myotubes with β-estradiol significantly increased the number and proportion of M2 macrophages and macrophage efferocytosis,while 4-OHT treatment resulted in the opposite changes.Conclusion In injured mouse skeletal muscles,myofiber E2 signaling promotes M1 to M2 transition to increase macrophage efferocytosis,thereby relieving inflammation and promoting muscle regeneration and repair.

		                        			Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

The search period was from database establishment to March 15, 2023.Results:A total of 15 articles were included, including 11 completely randomized controlled trials, 2 semi-randomized controlled trials, and 2 follow-up studies. The content consisted of the evaluation and intervention forms of family psychological education, and the development and implementation of specific intervention plans.Conclusions:There is limited research on family psychological education for patients with schizophrenia, and the implementation efforts around the world are insufficient. In the future, relevant research can be conducted to develop cost-effective education programs that are in line with China's culture and environment, so that schizophrenia patients and their families can receive evidence-based treatment to improve patient and family outcomes.

		                        			Objectives:To investigate the early related factors for hepatic insufficiency after hemihepatectomy and to construct and validate a nomogram model.Methods:This is a retrospective cohort study.There were 207 patients with liver tumor who underwent hemihepatectomy in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from October 2016 to December 2022. Using the random number method, patients were randomly divided into a model group( n=166) and a validation group( n=41) according to an 4∶1 ratio. There were 118 males and 48 females in the modeling group,with an age ( M(IQR)) of 59.0(13.3) years (range: 22.0 to 81.0 years),42 patients in the group with postoperative liver insufficiency and 124 patients in the group without postoperative liver insufficiency. There were 32 males and 9 females in the validation group, with an age of 54.0(19.0) years (range: 25.0 to 81.0 years). The first results of the peripheral blood test of patients within 24 hours after surgery were collected,and the independent related factors for incomplete postoperative liver function were determined by multivariate Logistic regression analysis,and related factors of postoperative incomplete liver function were screened by best subset selection. A nomogram model of the related factors of postoperative hepatic insufficiency after hemihepatectomy was constructed using R software,validated by internal and external validation of the model. Results:Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that elevated D-dimer level and decreased antithrombin Ⅲ (AT-Ⅲ) activity within 24 hours after surgery were independent related factors for the development of postoperative hepatic insufficiency in hemihepatectomized patients. The results of the best subset selection showed that ALT, D-dimer, and AT-Ⅲ activity levels within 24 hours postoperatively were the most relevant factors for postoperative hepatic insufficiency. The R software was applied to build a nomogram prediction model based on the above three indicators in the model set, and the receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve of the model showed an area under the curve of 0.803 and the calibration curve showed a U-index of -0.012 for the model( P=0.977). The results of the clinical decision analysis and the clinical impact curve indicated that the model had good clinical utility. The internal validation results of the Bootstrap method suggested that the model had reasonable consistency. The area under the ROC curve of the validation group model was 0.806, suggesting that the model had a good generalization prediction ability. Conclusions:The levels of ALT, D-dimer, and AT-Ⅲ activity within 24 hours after hemihepatectomy are valuable indicators for predicting liver insufficiency after hemihepatectomy. The nomogram model is reliable and can be used as an indicator for close postoperative monitoring.
		                        		
		                        		
		                        		
		                        	
9.The therapeutic paradigm of liver surgery in the era of conversion therapy

		                        			Surgical resection remains the best approach for achieving long-term survival in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC);however,due to the low early diagnosis rate of HCC patients in China,only 15%-20%of the patients are eligible for surgical resection at the time of initial diagnosis.Even for the patients undergoing surgery,the 5-year recurrence rate after surgery is as high as 50%-70%,resulting in an unsatisfactory prognosis.In recent years,the advances in systemic therapies,especially targeted therapy combined with immunotherapy,have not only extended the survival of patients with advanced liver cancer,but also promoted the application of systemic therapy in the earlier stages of HCC.On the one hand,the progress in systemic therapy has made conversion therapy a possible option for HCC,allowing a substantial number of patients with unresectable HCC at initial diagnosis to get the opportunity for surgical resection after downstaging and achieve a survival rate similar to those with resectable early-stage HCC at initial diagnosis;on the other hand,effective systemic therapy is being applied as neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapies for patients with resectable HCC,aiming to increase the R0 resection rate,reduce postoperative recurrence,and improve overall survival.Meanwhile,it should be clearly noted that although the advances in systemic therapy have significantly altered conventional surgical treatment paradigms,most clinical studies on conversion therapy,neoadjuvant therapy,and adjuvant therapy are small-scale phase II trials,with limited high-grade evidence from evidence-based medicine.It is important to select a reasonable therapeutic goal and develop an individualized treatment regimen based on the characteristics of tumor,and further explorations are needed to search for new biomarkers for predicting the efficacy of conversion therapy and perioperative treatment and identify the population with true benefits.
