Based on the etiology and clinical diagnostic criteria of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), identification and typing of treatment from the perspective of traditional Chinese and western medicine, the criteria for evaluating the clinical compatibility of traditional Chinese and western medicine in animal models of T2DM were set up. The literature was reviewed to sort out and analyze the existing commonly used modeling methods, summarize the mechanism, compare the advantages and disadvantages, and calculate the consistency between the animal model and the clinical symptoms, syndromes, and indicators from the perspective of traditional Chinese and western medicine. The authors found that spontaneous animal models and high-fat diets combined with multiple low-dose streptozotocin (STZ) induction models were more in line with modern medical pathogenesis of T2DM. However, it fails to form some special syndromes required for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) research. In addition, there are many methods of combining the etiology and pathogenesis of TCM, which can be divided into three categories: intervention carried out by drug administration, behavioral stimulation, or environmental changes according to TCM, or use of hormones according to clinical evidence and combination of the two methods mentioned above. All of them can successfully establish different types of animal models. However, different methods of establishing syndrome models have their own advantages and disadvantages, and there is no unified standard for the stability and evaluation of syndrome models. As for the clinical consistency criteria of traditional Chinese and western medicine established in this paper, the animal model with 100% consistency has not been calculated due to the conditions of incomplete symptoms and syndromes described in the studies and different selection indicators. Consequently, the establishment of a simple, easy-to-use, and affordable T2DM animal model with both traditional Chinese and western medicine disease characteristics and the improvement of the Chinese and western medicine evaluation system for different evidence types are of great significance for the future development of TCM research on T2DM.

With the development of modern medical standards,autoimmune diseases and their associ-ated successive osteoporosis have received increasing attention in recent years.Patients with autoimmune diseases,due to the characteristics of the disease and the prolonged use of glucocorticoid hormone thera-py,may affect the bone formation and bone absorption of the patient,followed by severe successive osteo-porosis,thereby increasing the risk of osteoporotic vertebral fractures.Vertebral compression fractures of the spine are common fracture types in patients with osteoporotic fractures.Osteoporosis is a common complication after glucocorticoid therapy in patients with autoimmune diseases.Percutaneous vertebro-plasty(PVP)and percutaneous kyphoplasty(PKP)are minimally invasive operation and are commonly used surgical methods for the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.However,due to the operation of spinal puncture during the operation,there are serious surgical risks such as bone cement leakage,spinal epidural hemorrhage,subdural hemorrhage,and subarachnoid hemorrhage in both PVP and PKP.As a result,it is necessary to evaluate the patient's body before surgery carefully,especially in the case of blood coagulation.This article reports a case of autoimmune disease patient admitted to Peking University People's Hospital due to lumbar 4 vertebral compression fracture combined with Sj?gren's syn-drome.The patient's preoperative examination showed that the activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT)was significantly prolonged.After completing the APTT extended screening experiment and lu-pus anticoagulant factor testing,the multi-disciplinary team(MDT)of Peking University People's Hospi-tal jointly discussed the conclusion that the patient's test results were caused by an abnormal self-immuni-ty anti-copulant lupus(LAC).Based on the results of the laboratory examination,the patient was con-sidered to be diagnosed with combined antiphospholipid syndrome(APS).For such patients,compared with the patient's tendency to bleed,we should pay more attention to the risk of high blood clotting in the lower limbs of the patient,pulmonary clots and so on.With timely anti-coagulation treatment,the patient safely passed the peripheral period and was successfully discharged from the hospital.Therefore,for pa-tients with autoimmune diseases with prolonged APTT in the perioperative period,doctors need to careful-ly identify the actual cause and carry out targeted treatment in order to minimize the risk of surgical and perioperative complications and bring satisfactory treatment results to the patients.

Objective:
To investigate the level of injury first aid skills and its influencing factors among parents of preschool children in Dongxihu District, Wuhan City, so as to provide insights into carrying out targeted health education work.
Methods:
Parents of preschool children from kindergarten in Dongxihu District were selected using multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method. Basic information of preschool children, parents' demographic information, and parents' knowledge of injury first aid skills were collected through questionnaires. The level of injury first aid skills among parents was analyzed and its influencing factors were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 1 148 questionnaires were allocated and 1 131 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 98.52%. The respondents included 242 men (21.40%) and 889 women (78.60%). The parents surveyed were mainly mothers, with 862 accounting for 76.22%. The level of injury first aid skills was 39.43%. Among the individual injury first aid skills, the proportions of mastering the treatment of cardiac arrest and arm fracture were relatively high, which were 94.69% and 94.16%, respectively, while the proportion of mastering the correct steps of cardiopulmonary resuscitation was the lowest, at 31.21%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that the grade of children (middle class, OR=1.374, 95%CI: 1.021-1.847; senior class, OR=1.561, 95%CI: 1.147-2.125), age (30 to 34 years old, OR=1.712, 95%CI: 1.170-2.505), education level (high school/technical secondary school and below, OR=0.664, 95%CI: 0.515-0.857), and having learned injury first aid skills (OR=1.653, 95%CI: 1.284-2.129) were influencing factors of injury first aid skills among parents of preschool children.
Conclusions
The level of injury first aid skills among parents of preschool children is relatively low. The first aid ability of parents whose children are in small classes, older, less educated, and have not learned injury first aid skills should be specifically improved.

Objective:To introduce the Experience of Embodiment Scale(EES)and examine the validity and reliability in a sample of college students.Methods:Totally 1 254 college students(sample 1)were selected for en-try analysis and exploratory factor analysis,and 623 college students(sample 2)were selected for confirmatory fac-tor analysis,validity and internal consistency reliability tests,531 college students(sample 3)were selected for re-testing at a 4-week interval.The Body Esteem Scale for Adolescents and Adults(BESAA),Socio-Cultural Attitudes Toward Appearance Questionnaire(SATAQ-4),Eating Disorder Examination Self-Assessment Questionnaire 6.0(EDE-Q6.0),and Brief Symptom Inventory(BSI-18)were used as validity scales.Results:The EES had 31 items divided into 6 factors,which explained 69.53%of the total variance,and the factor loadings of each item ranged from 0.61 to 0.87.Confirmatory factor analysis revealed a model fit was good(x2/df=2.63,CFI=0.82,TLI=0.80,SRMR=0.07,RMSEA=0.08).The EES scores were positively associated with the BESAA scores(r=0.59,P<0.01),and negatively correlated with the scores of SATAQ-4,EDE-Q6.0 and BSI-18(r=-0.54,-0.44,-0.47;P<0.01).The Cronbach α coefficient of the total scale was 0.90,and ICC of retest was 0.88.Conclusion:The Chinese version of the EES has good validity and reliability and could be used to measure the embodied experience of college students.
6.Factors influencing neonatal hypoglycemia in dichorionic twins
Chinese Journal of Perinatal Medicine 2024;27(10):816-821
Objective:To investigate the factors influencing neonatal hypoglycemia in dichorionic twins.Methods:Clinical data of 304 dichorionic twin pregnancies and their neonates delivered at Peking University First Hospital from January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2023, were retrospectively collected. The cases were divided into a neonatal hypoglycemia group ( n=53) and a control group ( n=251) based on the occurrence of neonatal hypoglycemia. General conditions of the two groups were compared. Additionally, analysis was conducted based on the birth weight difference between the twins, with 18% as the threshold, dividing them into groups with birth weight differences≥18% (56 pregnant women and 112 newborns delivered) and<18% (248 pregnant women and 496 newborns delivered). Data comparisons between groups were performed using t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, Chi-square test, or Fisher's exact test. Paired t-test was used to compare the clinical features between the larger and smaller twins in different birth weight difference groups. Poisson regression analysis was applied to examine the association between maternal clinical characteristics and neonatal hypoglycemia. Results:In the groups with birth weight differences <18% and ≥18%, the incidence of neonatal hypoglycemia in smaller and larger twins were 13.7% (34/248) and 13.3% (33/248), 8.9% (5/56) and 7.1% (4/56), respectively. The umbilical cord blood glucose levels were 3.1 mmol/L (2.7-3.6 mmol/L) and 3.1 mmol/L (2.7-3.6 mmol/L), 3.3 mmol/L (2.8-4.3 mmol/L) and 3.4 mmol/L (3.0-4.3 mmol/L), respectively, with no statistically significant differences (all P>0.05). Poisson regression analysis showed that young gestational age at delivery, hyperglycemia in pregnancy, and fetal lung maturation promotion were risk factors for neonatal hypoglycemia [ RR values (95% CI) were 1.024 (1.002-1.049), 1.707 (1.051- 2.782), and 1.744 (1.011-3.027), respectively, all P<0.05]. Conclusions:Regardless of weight difference, there is no significant difference in umbilical cord blood glucose and the risk of postnatal hypoglycemia between larger and smaller twins. Preterm birth, hyperglycemia in pregnancy and corticosteroid-induced fetal lung maturation are associated with neonatal hypoglycemia in dichorionic twins.

Journal of Prevention and Treatment for Stomatological Diseases 2023;31(6):408-413
Objective :
To investigate the application of indocyanine green in near-infrared fluorescence imaging to determine the scope of necrotic bone resection in osteoradionecrosis of the jaw and to provide a reference for clinicians
Methods :
Eight patients with osteoradionecrosis of the jaws were enrolled. Indocyanine green was intravenously injected through the elbow vein 10 minutes before osteotomy. After conservative resection of necrotic bone lesions based on imaging results, the scope of potential dead bone resection in the area of low fluorescence intensity was gradually expanded at an initial distance of 0.3 cm. Near-infrared fluorescence imaging and fluorescence intensity determination of bone cross-section were performed before and after extended resection. Statistical differences were analyzed. All patients with osteonecrosis underwent regular follow-up to evaluate the postoperative efficacy
Results:
Indocyanine green was injected into all 8 patients with osteoradionecrosis for near-infrared fluorescence imaging and the scans were clear; the fluorescence intensity of fresh bone wounds with an expanded mandibular resection range of (0.95 ± 0.14) cm was (226.2 ± 15.8) au, which was higher than that based on intraoperative macroscopic observation and radiological results (108.8 ± 3.4) au, (t = 20.718, P<0.001). The postoperative follow-up improvement rate of 8 patients was 87.5%.
Conclusion
Near-infrared fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green can assist in the successful removal of necrotic bone until fresh bleeding of the jaw wound occurs, which has important clinical value in defining the resection range of osteoradionecrosis of the jaw.

Traditionally, the progression from compensated liver cirrhosis to decompensated liver cirrhosis has been considered an irreversible point in the natural history of the disease; however, with the suppression of underlying etiology, cure, and disease regression, this view is challenged by an increasing number of new evidence, and the idea of “recompensation of liver cirrhosis” is gradually being accepted. In recent years, scholars in China and globally have been exploring the specific definition of recompensation of liver cirrhosis and the clinical features of patients. By summarizing the recent studies on recompensation of liver cirrhosis in China and globally, integrating existing views, and analyzing related research evidence, this article points out the main challenges in the field of recompensation at this stage, including the lack of in-depth clinical and basic research, the need to define recompensation in the context of NAFLD, and related ethical issues, in order to provide new directions for future research in this field.

Chinese Journal of Biotechnology 2022;38(4):1475-1489
The diverse thermophilic strains of Thermoanaerobacter, serving as unique platforms with a broad range of application in biofuels and chemicals, have received wide attention from scholars and practitioners. Although biochemical experiments and genome sequences have been reported for a variety of Thermoanaerobacter strains, an efficient genetic manipulation system remains to be established for revealing the biosynthetic pathways of Thermoanaerobacter. In line with this demand, the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated (Cas) systems for editing, regulating and targeting genomes have been well developed in thermophiles. Here, we reviewed and discussed the current status, associated challenges, and future perspectives of the construction of thermostable CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing systems for some representative Thermoanaerobacter species. The establishment, optimization, and application of thermostable CRISPR/Cas genome editing systems would potentially provide a foundation for further genetic modification of thermophilic bacteria.
