		                        			Background Light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM) has become a popular choice in prediction models due to its high efficiency and speed. However, the "black box" issues in machine learning models lead to poor model interpretability. At present, few studies have evaluated the severity of occupational injuries from the perspective of LightGBM model and model interpretability. Objective To evaluate the application value of LightGBM models and model interpretability methods in occupational injury prediction. Methods The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) occupational injury data set of mining industry workers from 1983 to 2022 was used. Injury severity (death/fatal occupational injury and permanent/partial disability) was used as the outcome variable, and the predictor variables included the month of occurrence, age, sex, time of accident, time since beginning of shift, accident time interval from shift start, total experience, total mining experience, experience at this mine, cause of injury, accident type, activity of injury, source of injury, body part of injury, work environment type, product category, and nature of injury. Feature sets were screened using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) regression. A LightGBM model was then employed to predict occupational injury, with area under curve (AUC) of the model serving as the primary evaluation metric; an AUC closer to 1 indicates better predictive performance of the model. The interpretability of the model was evaluated using Shapley additive explanations (SHAP). Results Through Lasso regression, 7 key influencing factors were identified, including accident time interval from shift start, experience at this mine, cause of injury, accident type, body part of injury, nature of injury, and work environment type. A LightGBM model, constructed based on feature selection via Lasso regression, demonstrated good predictive performance with an AUC value of

		                        			It is believed that retention due to deficient qi is an important pathogenesis of endometriosis (EMs). Deficient qi is the root of the disease, mainly manifested as spleen deficiency, while retention is the branch pathogenesis of the disease, mainly with blood stasis, complicated with constraint, phlegm, heat, toxin and other pathological factors. Therefore, it is proposed to follow the treatment principle of supplementing deficiency and unblocking stagnation, and take the methods of replenishing qi and fortifying the spleen, removing stasis and eliminating concretions. Self-made Fuzheng Huayu Formula (扶正化瘀方) is taken as the basic formula, and can be modified with the symptoms in menstrual and non-menstrual periods. Additionally, the methods of moving qi, dispelling phlegm, clearing heat, relieving toxin and others can be combined, and it is recommended to treat the root and the branch simultaneously.

		                        			Objective:To explore the application effect of the teaching method combining process-oriented-guided inquiry learning (POGIL) theory and micro-class in orthopedic clinical internship.Methods:The 118 interns who completed internship from January 2022 to December 2022 were randomly divided into a control group (58) and an experimental group (60). The control group received traditional teaching, while the experimental group received a teaching method combining POGIL theory and micro-class. After the internship, the two groups were compared for assessment scores (basic theoretical knowledge and professional theoretical knowledge), learning status (classroom performance and self-learning ability), clinical practice ability (Leicester Assessment Scale), and teaching satisfaction. The t-test and chi-square test were performed using SPSS 21.0. Results:After the internship, the assessment scores, classroom performance, self-directed learning ability scores, clinical skills, case writing scores, and teaching satisfaction of the experimental group were all higher than those of the control group ( t/ χ2=5.01, 3.72, 2.20, 6.57, 3.56, 4.52, P<0.05). Conclusions:The teaching method combining POGIL theory and micro-class can enhance the master of theoretical knowledge by orthopedic interns, optimize classroom performance, cultivate self-learning ability, and improve clinical practice ability and teaching satisfaction.

		                        			Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of individualized removal therapeutic regimen for donor-specific antibodies (DSA) and examine its related influencing factors.Method:From January 2016 to January 2021, 34 recipients of kidney transplant (KT) underwent regular DSA testing and the results were positive. DSA removal therapy based upon rituximab (RTX) plus intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) was offered. Correlation between DSA negative conversion rate and DSA types, time from start of treatment to transplantation, HLA loci targeted by DSA and DSA mean fluorescent intensity (MFI) were analyzed retrospectively. Changes of immunedominant DSA (iDSA) and serum creatinine in individuals with de novo DSA (dnDSA) before and after treatment were also examined.Results:At Month 3 post-treatment, antibodies turned negative in 17/34(50.0%) patients and DSA became negative in 19/34(55.9%) at the last follow-up. Then we identified 78 DSA from all patients. No significant difference existed in negative conversion rate of pfDSA and dnDSA at Month 3 post-treatment [62.9%(39/62) vs 37.5%(6/16)] and at the last follow-up [4.2%(46/62) vs 56.3%(9/16)]( P=0.067, 0.219). For pfDSA, negative conversion rate of pfDSA with different MFIs after 3-month treatment varied significantly [negative conversion rate of weak positive DSA was 78.6%(33/42) and positive and above DSA 30%(6/20), P<0.001]. It was an independent related factor of whether or not pfDSA could turn negative (48.6%, 95% CI: 22.3%-66.8%, P=0.001). At the last follow-up, negative conversion rate of pfDSA differed markedly at different timepoints from start of treatment to transplantation [treated within 30 days post-operation was 79.2%(42/53) and over 30 days post-operation was 44.4%(4/9), P=0.042] and among different DSA MFI [88.1%(37/42) of weakly positive DSA and 45%(9/20) of positive and above DSA, P<0.001] and they were independent related factors for negative conversion of pfDSA (34.8%, 95% CI: 3.2%-61.8%, P=0.008; 43.1%, 95% CI: 18.5%-63.4%, P=0.001). Mean decline rate in iDSA was 66.67% at Month 3 post-treatment and 77.90% at the last follow-up. The difference was statistically significant ( P=0.035). Serum level of creatinine of 9 patients with dnDSA was (110.2±26.9) μmol/L pre-treatment, (178.8±90.5) μmol/L during treatment, (153.9±72.8) μmol/L at Month 3 post-treatment and (213.6±185.8) μmol/L at the last follow-up. Serum creatinine rose during treatment ( t=-2.794, P=0.023), declined at Month 3 post-treatment ( t=3.430, P=0.009) and spiked again at the last follow-up ( P=0.028). Conclusion:After DSA removal therapy based upon RTX plus IVIG, negative conversion rate of pfDSA is correlated with its MFI and time from start of treatment to transplantation. There is no significant rebound in DSA MFI and graft function of dnDSA patients improves immediately after treatment.

		                        			China has made remarkable advances in the field of organ donation and transplantation. However, with surging demands for organ transplantation services, there is still a large gap. Thus the Chinese development of organ donation and transplantation has a lot of catch-ups. The new Regulations on Human Organ Donation and Transplantation accorded with domestic conditions, culture and ethics. It specified that organ donation and transplantation should adhere to the general principle of "People Foremost & Life Primary" and strengthen the top-level designs of five operating systems of organ donation, acquisition & distribution, transplant clinical services, transplant quality control and supervising & optimizing. Upholding the protection of the rights and interests of both donors and recipients, it strengthened the supervision of the whole process of organ donation & transplantation, emphasized the importance of publicity & education of organ donation, provided a more solid legal guarantees for standardizing and promoting organ donation & transplantation and ushered in new opportunities for further developments of human organ donation & transplantation.

		                        			Background The severity of occupational injury in countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, and Germany is usually analyzed using lost workdays, but in existing occupational injury surveillance research in China, the application of this index is rare. Objective To evaluate the application value of lost workdays in non-fatal occupational injury surveillance, and provide a reference for the construction of occupational injury surveillance index system. Methods The public data of European Statistics on Accidents at Work (ESAW) from 2010 to 2019 on non-fatal injury accidents in 27 member states of the European Union were used. Non-fatal occupational injury is defined as an injury event during occupational activities or at work resulting a victim's absence from work for ≥4 d. According to the European Statistics on Accidents at Work-Summary methodology, the lost workdays were divided into 8 categories (4-6 d, 7-13 d, 14-20 d, 21-30 d, 31-91 d, 92-182 d, 183 d and above, and unknown). Annual percentage change (APC) and the average annual percentage change (AAPC) were used to evaluate the overall trend changes in the incidence rate of non-fatal occupational injury accidents in different lost workdays from 2010 to 2019, and the non-fatal occupational injury accidents in key industries. The characteristics of the occurrence of non-fatal occupational injuries were analyzed in conjunction with the changes in non-fatal occupational injuries in different lost workdays in the industry. Results From 2010 to 2019, the overall incidence of non-fatal occupational injury accidents in the European Union showed a downward trend, and the AAPC was −1.0% (P<0.05). The accident rates of lost workdays of 4-6 d and 92-182 d showed an upward trend, and the AAPC were 7.9% and 5.8% respectively (P<0.05). The average annual accident rates of non-fatal occupational injuries (≥4 d) in Categories C (manufacturing industry), E (water supply, sewage treatment, waste management and remediation), and F (construction industry) showed a linear downward trend, and the AAPC were −3.0%, −2.5%, and −1.5%, respectively (P<0.05). However, among them, the rate of non-fatal occupational injury accidents with 92-182 d of lost workdays in the manufacturing industry showed a significant upward trend, with an AAPC of 3.7% (P<0.001). Conclusion Using lost workdays combined with APC and AAPC by Join-point linear regression analysis can measure the severity and trend changes of non-fatal occupational injury accidents in different industries and different lost workdays. This indicator has an important practical significance in evaluating the effectiveness of occupational injury prevention and control strategies adopted by countries and enterprises.
