ObjectiveTo combine metabolomics， proteomics， and transcriptomics to analyze the biological characteristics of damp-heat toxin accumulation syndrome and damp-heat accumulation syndrome in acute gout. MethodsBlood samples were collected from 15 patients with damp-heat toxin accumulation syndrome and 15 patients with damp-heat accumulation syndrome in acute gout in clinical practice. Metabolomics technology was applied to detect serum metabolites， and an orthogonal partial sample least squares discriminant analysis model was constructed to screen for metabolites with significant intergroup changes， and enrichment pathway analysis and receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve analysis were performed. Astral data independence acquisition （DIA） was used to detect serum proteins， perform principal component analysis and screen differential proteins， demonstrate differential ploidy by radargram， apply subcellular localisation to analyse protein sources， and finally apply weighted gene co-expression network analysis （WGCNA） to find key proteins. Transcriptome sequencing technology was also applied to detect whole blood mRNA， screen differential genes and perform WGCNA， and construct machine learning models to screen key genes. ResultsMetabolome differential analysis revealed 62 differential metabolites in positive ion mode and 26 in negative ion mode. These differential metabolites were mainly enriched in the mTOR signaling pathway and FoxO signaling pathway， with trans-3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxycinnamaldehyde， guanabenz， 4-aminophenyl-1-thio-beta-d-galactopyranoside showing the highest diagnostic efficacy. The proteome differential analysis found that 55 proteins up-regulated and 20 proteins down-regulated in the samples of damp-heat toxin accumulation syndrome. Notably， myelin basic protein （MBP）， transferrin （TF）， DKFZp686N02209， and apolipoprotein B （APOB） showed the most significant differences in expression. Differential proteins were mainly enriched in pathways related to fat digestion and absorption， lipid and atherosclerosis， and cholesterol metabolism. WGCNA showed the highest correlation between damp-heat toxin accumulation syndrome and the brown module， with proteins in this module primarily enriched in the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 （HIF-1） signaling pathway and lipid and atherosclerosis. Transcriptomic differential analysis identified 252 differentially expressed genes， with WGCNA indicating the highest correlation between damp-heat toxin accumulation syndrome and the midnight blue module. The random forest （RF） model was identified as the optimal machine learning model， predicting apolipoprotein B receptor （APOBR）， far upstream element-binding protein 2 （KHSRP）， POU domain class 2 transcription factor 2 （POU2F2）， EH domain-containing protein 1 （EHD1）， and family with sequence similarity 110A （FAM110A） as key genes. Integrated multi-omics analysis suggested that damp-heat toxin accumulation syndrome in the acute phase of gout is closely associated with lipid metabolism， particularly APOB. ConclusionCompared to damp-heat accumulation syndrome in the acute phase of gout， damp-heat toxin accumulation syndrome is more closely associated with lipid metabolism， particularly APOB， and lipid metabolism disorders contribute to the development of damp-heat toxin accumulation syndrome in patients with acute gout.

Objective: To understand the changing trends and related factors of knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) regarding the three major infectious diseases (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, tuberculosis, hepatitis B) among freshmen in Jiangsu from 2019 to 2022, so as to provide a reference basis for the health education of infectious diseases in schools. Methods: From 2019 to 2022, a total of 33 944 freshmen from 20 universities in Jiangsu Province were randomly selected for four consecutive years to investigate their KAP levels online through self designed questionnaires on three major infectious diseases. The multiple linear regression model was used to analyze the changing trends of students KAP levels of the three major infectious diseases, and to explore the influencing factors of KAP. Results: From 2019 to 2022, the knowledge scores(18.0±3.1,18.4±3.2,18.7±3.2,18.8±3.2), related to the three major infectious diseases showed an upward trend ( F=436.50, P <0.01), and the positive attitude reporting rates were 81.77%, 81.46%, 82.68% and 81.74%, respectively. The reporting rates of positive practice were 80.11%, 79.25%, 79.08 % and 79.04%, respectively. Multiple linear regression showed that school type, parental education level, mother s occupation, average income per person in family and living arrangements during high school all had an impact on the knowledge ( β = -1.510 -0.559), attitudes ( β =-0.043-0.065) and practice ( β =-0.028-0.027) of the three major infectious diseases ( P < 0.05 ). The family residence areas only affected the reporting rate of positive attitude scores ( β =0.002-0.065), and whether only children or not affected the reporting rate of positive practice scores ( β =0.009)( P <0.05). The knowledge score showed an upward trend ( β= 0.297, P <0.01), the positive attitude reporting rate showed no statistically significant change ( β=0.001, P =0.22), and the positive practice reporting rate showed a downward trend ( β=-0.005, P <0.01). Conclusions Freshman in Jiangsu Province from 2019 to 2022 have shown a separation in KAP scores regarding the three major infectious diseases. Targeted measures should be taken to improve their health practice level.

Objective To explore the mediating role of occupational well-being in the relationship between professional identity and safety behavior among nurses. Methods A total of 1 006 nurses from ten tertiary general hospitals in eight provincial administrative regions were selected as the research subjects using convenient sampling method. Their safety behavior, professional identity and occupational well-being were investigated using Nurse Safety Behavior Scale, Nurse Professional Identity Scale and Occupational Well-being Scale. Structural equation modeling was performed using AMOS 26.0 to examine the mediating effect of occupational well-being in the relationship between professional identity and safety behavior among nurses. Results The scores for safety behavior, professional identity, and occupational well-being were (53.0±6.1), (123.7±21.2) and (90.8±13.1), respectively. Safety behavior was positively correlated with both professional identity and occupational well-being (correlation coefficients were 0.50 and 0.50, respectively, both P<0.01). Professional identity was positively correlated with occupational well-being (correlation coefficient was 0.51, P<0.01). The multiple linear regression analysis results showed that the higher the professional identity and occupational well-being of nurses, the higher the level of safety behavior (both P<0.05). The result of mediating effect shows that the total effect of occupational identity on safety behavior was 0.498 [95% confidence interval (CI) was 0.405-0.576], and occupational well-being played a mediating role between professional identity and safety behavior among nurses with the mediation effect of 0.156 (95%CI was 0.112-0.205), accounting for 31.33% of the total effect. Conclusion The safety behavior of nurses is at a moderate level. Both professional identity and occupational well-being can affect the safety behavior of nurses. Professional identity can increase the safety behavior of nurses by affecting occupational well-being.

Objective To investigate the effects of metformin(Met)on the proliferation of pancreatic cancer cells under different glucose concentration culture conditions,and to find the potential role of miR-139-5p in the process.Methods PANC-1 cells were treated with different concentrations of metformin(0/5/10/20 mmol/L)in 25 mmol/L(high-glucose group,HG)or 5 mmol/L(normal-glucose group,NG)glucose culture,cell proliferation,apoptosis,migration and cell cycle were detected after 48 h.The expression of miR-139-5p was quantitatively detected by RT-qPCR,and the miR-139-5p mimics were transfected into PANC-1 cells to clarify the role of miR-139-5p.Results Metformin inhibited the proliferation,promoted apoptosis,and induced S phase and G2/M phase arrest of PANC-1 cells under in high glucose and normal glucose culture conditions,and its anti-proliferation and pro-apoptosis effects were more significant in the normal glucose groups.The expression of miR-139-5p was up-regu-lated by metformin treatment in normal but not in high glucose culture.Further studies showed that miR-139-5p mimics inhibited of PANC-1 cells proliferation without metformin pre-incubation and enhanced the anti-prolifera-tion effect of 5 mmol/L metformin.The pro-apoptotic effect of 10 mmol/L metformin in normal glucose culture conditions.Conclusions In normal-glucose culture conditions,metformin can inhibit proliferation,induce apop-tosis and cell cycle arrest of PANC-1 cells more significantly than in higher-glucose culture,which may be partly related to the up-regulation of miR-139-5p.

Informed consent is an important ethical symbol in clinical research,and researchers have the responsibility to fully inform participants of the research information before conducting clinical research.However,it is difficult to obtain complete informed consent form participants or their guardians within a narrow treatment time period in clinical research conducted in emergency situations.Currently,in addition to traditional general informed consent,there are also reality-accepted informed consent,including exemption of informed consent,broad informed consent,and deferred informed consent.By introducing the origin and development process of deferred informed consent in clinical research,this paper sorted out the current application status of deferred informed consent,proposed the prerequisites for applying deferred informed consent in emergency situations,and explored the issues that need to be noted during the application process of deferred informed consent.It is hoped to provide an ethical defense and ethical procedure for the application of deferred informed consent in clinical research in emergency situations.

Objective: To understand the trends and associated factors of tuberculosis knowledge and behavior among freshmen from Jiangsu Province, 2019 to 2022, so as to provide theoretical support for the popularization of tuberculosis knowledge and the prevention and control of tuberculosis in universities. Methods: From 2019 to 2022, a total of 33 944 freshmen from 20 universities in Jiangsu Province were selected by stratified random sampling, and tuberculosis knowledge and behavior were surveyed online using a selfdesigned questionnaire. Oneway variance trend test and multiple linear regression analysis were used to analyze the trend of knowledge and behavior levels, and a multiple linear regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors. Results: The overall awareness rate of tuberculosis among freshmen from Jiangsu Province was 90.6%, and the overall awareness rates from 2019 to 2022 were 88.4%, 90.4%, 91.7%, and 91.8%, respectively. The overall behavioral accuracy rate was 92.3%, with the annual rates from 2019 to 2022 being 91.8%, 92.3%, 92.7%, and 92.4%, respectively. Both the awareness rate and accuracy behavior rate increased annually (F=216.67, 11.75, P<0.01). The multiple linear regression analysis showed that school type, ethnicity, fathers educational level, mothers educational level, mothers occupation, family per capita monthly income, and living arrangement in high school affected both personal knowledge awareness rate and personal behavioral accuracy rate (β=-0.047-0.035, P<0.01), while region, gender, family residence, and being an only child only affected behavioral accuracy rate (β=-0.003-0.032, P<0.05). Conclusions The tuberculosis knowledge and behavior levels of freshmen from Jiangsu Province have been increasing by year. Targeted health education should be carried out based on the relevant influencing factors to further enhance the tuberculosis prevention and control literacy.

Objective: To identify the social ecological factors of individual, family, and physical environments for affecting the development of fundamental motor skills (FMS) among overweight and obese children, so as to provide a basis for the future intervention design and policy making. Methods: From March to April 2022, one public primary school was recruited from each of the 4 main urban areas in Shijiazhuang, and a total of 425 children in schools were recruited for data collection including individual, family, physical environmental factors, by using a stratified cluster random sampling approach. Test of Gross Motor Development-Third Edition (TGMD-3) was used to evaluate children s FMS. Hierarchical linear regression model was employed to analysis the associations between the 18 factors for individual, family, and physical environments, and the FMS of overweight and obese children. Results: Individual level including the child s age, gender and sleep duration, and family level including high family economic level, parental support for physical activity, and the physical activity environment surrounding the family and community were consistent predictors of movement skills ( B =0.422, -1.972, 0.014, 0.045, 1.042, 0.827, 1.898), ball skills ( B =0.858, 3.953, 0.013, 0.092, 2.141, 1.173, 1.954), and composite skills ( B =1.305, 1.915, 0.028, 0.142, 3.091, 1.962, 3.879) among overweight and obese children ( P <0.05). Furthermore, child s body mass index (BMI), moderate to vigorous physical activity, perceived motor competence, pleasure of exercise,as well as BMI and physical activity levels of their primary caregiver, were associated with different types of FMS ( P <0.05). Individual, family, and physical environmental factors had moderate to high predictive explanatory power for FMS among overweight and obese children ( 2=0.69, 0.75, 0.93, P <0.01). Conclusions The factors influencing the development of FMS in overweight and obese children are multifaceted, with individual, family, and physical environment factors all playing significant roles.Corresponding measures should be actively taken to improve FMS in overweight and obese children.

Refractory rheumatoid arthritis belongs to the category of "stubborn bi （痹）" and "lame bi" in traditional Chinese medicine. It is believed that pathogenic toxin is an important pathogenic factor of refractory rheumatoid arthritis， and "healthy qi deficiency and toxins accumulation" is its core pathogenesis. Pathogenic toxin can be divided into latent and internal toxin， among which latent toxin includes congenital latent toxin and acquired exogenous and drug-induced latent toxin； and internal toxin is directly produced by the dysfunction of the body's zang-fu （脏腑） organs， or is transformed from dampness， turbidity， phlegm and stasis. Pathogenic toxin can flow into the meridians and collaterals， quickly corrode the bones and joints， harm the five zang organs， secretly consume the body's healthy qi， and accumulate and entrench. Based on this， the treatment principle of "reinforcing healthy qi and resolving toxins" has been established， emphasizing that the key is to strengthen the origin of the body's healthy qi and to attack the pathogenic toxin from its weakness. In clinical practice， it is suggested to trace the root cause， and treat the disease based on the cause. Besides reinforcing the body's healthy qi， the methods such as clearing heat to resolve toxins， draining dampness to resolve toxins， dispelling wind to remove toxins， dispersing cold to resolve toxins， dissolving phlegm to resolve toxins， and dispersing stasis to resolve toxins can be supplemented， so as to reinforce the healthy qi and dispel pathogens simultaneously and thereby improving the clinical efficacy.

It is believed that gout is rooted in spleen-kidney depletion， and damp-heat， turbidity toxin， and phlegm stasis are the sources. The treatment principle should be fortifying the spleen and boosting the kidney to consolidate the root， while draining dampness and removing turbidity， clearing heat and resolving toxins， relieving stasis and dissolving phlegm to clear the source. Staged treatment based on the relationship and transition between healthy qi deficiency and excess pathogen is recommended. For intercritical gout when there is internal accumulation of damp turbidity mainly， the treatment method should be draining dampness and removing turbidity by Chushi Fuling Decoction （除湿茯苓汤） with modifications. During the acute stage of gout when damp-heat toxin accumulation is the most urgent， it is recommended to clear heat and resolve toxins with self-made Qingpi Tongfeng Formula （清皮痛风方） with modifications. During the chronic stage of gout， when spleen deficiency and damp-heat and phlegm-stasis obstruction are the predominant， the method of fortifying spleen， clearing heat and draining dampness， as well as dissolving phlegm and dissipating stasis should be implemented， by using self-made Qingre Shenshi Decoction （清热渗湿汤） with modifications and Erchen Decoction and Taohong Siwu Decoction （二陈汤合桃红四物汤） with modifications， respectively.For gouty nephropathy， when spleen-kidney depletion is the root， and phlegm， stasis and toxin are accompanied， it is recommended to fortify spleen and boost kidney， and dissolve phlegm， move stasis and resolve toxins using self-made Bupi Yishen Decoction （补脾益肾汤） with modifications.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of first-episode and recurrent acute hypertriglyceridemic pancreatitis (HTGP).Methods:The retrospective cohort study was con-ducted. The clinical data of 313 patients with HTGP admitted to 26 medical centers in China in the Chinese Acute Pancreatitis Clinical Research Group (CAPCTG)-PERFORM database from November 2020 to December 2021 were collected. There were 219 males and 94 females, aged 38(32,44)years. Of the 313 patients, 193 patients with first-episode HTGP were allocated into the first-episode group and 120 patients with recurrent HTGP were allocated into the recurrent group. Observation indica-tors: (1) propensity score matching and comparison of general data of patients between the two groups after matching; (2) comparison of severity and prognosis in the course of disease within 14 days between the two groups; (3) the association between recurrent HTGP and the risk of persistent organ failure (POF); (4) follow-up. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3), and comparison between groups was conducted using the Wilcoxon rank sum test. Count data were expressed as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Comparison of ordinal data was conducted using the Wilcoxon rank sum test. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot the cumulative recurrence rate curve and Log-Rank test was used for survival analysis. The Logistic regression model was used for multivariate analysis, and continuous variables were converted into categorical variables according to the mean value or common criteria. Propensity score matching was performed by 1∶1 nearest neighbor matching method, with caliper value of 0.02. Paired t test or Wilcoxon rank sum test and McNemar′s test were used for comparison between matched groups. Results:(1) Propensity score matching and comparison of general data of patients between the two groups after matching. Of the 313 patients,208 cases were successfully matched, including 104 cases in the first-episode group and 104 cases in the recurrent group. After propensity score matching, there was no significant difference in demographic characteristics, severity of illness scores and laboratory test between the two groups ( P>0.05). The elimination of gender, acute physiology and chornic health evaluation (APACHE) Ⅱ score, computed tomography severity index score, systemic inflammatory response syndrome score, sequential organ failure assessment score, apolipoprotein E, C-reactive protein, creatinine, lactic acid dehydrogenase, procal-citonin confounding bias ensured comparability between the two groups. (2) Comparison of severity and prognosis in the course of disease within 14 days between the two groups. There were signifi-cant differences in POF and local complications between the first-episode group and the recurrent group ( P<0.05). (3) The association between recurrent HTGP and the risk of POF. Results of uncor-rected univariate analysis showed that there was no association between recurrent HTGP and the risk of POF ( odds ratio=0.78, 95% confidence interval as 0.46-1.30, P>0.05). Results of multivariate analysis after adjusting for covariates such as gender, age, APACHE Ⅱ score, C-reactive protein, triglyceride and total cholesterol showed that compared with first-episode HTGP, recurrent HTGP was associated with a higher risk of POF ( odds ratio=2.22, 95% confidence interval as 1.05-4.71, P<0.05). Results of subgroup analysis showed that age<40 years was associated with an increased risk of POF ( odds ratio=3.31, 95% confidence interval as 1.09-10.08, P<0.05). (4) Follow-up. Twelve of the 313 patients died during hospitalization, including 9 cases in the first-episode group and 3 cases in the recurrent group. The rest of 301 surviving patients, including 184 cases in the first-episode group and 117 cases in the recurrent group, were followed up for 19.2(15.5, 21.9)months. Results of follow-up showed that for 184 survived patients of the first-episode group, 164 cases were followed up and 24 cases experienced recurrence, for 117 survived patients of the recurrent group,29 cases experienced recurrence, showing a significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=4.67, P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with first-episode HTGP, patients with recurrent HTGP are more prone to POF and local complications, and are more prone to recurrence after discharge. The risk of POF in recurrent HTGP patients is 2.22 times that of those with first-episode, and the risk is higher in patients with age <40 years.
