Objective To investigate the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase P38MAPK signaling pathway in thyroid epithelial cell injury induced by high iodine.Methods The thyroid epithelial cells Nthy-ori 3-1 were randomly divided into control group(normal culture),model group(40 mmol·L-1 potassium iodide),4-phenylbutyric acid(4-PB A)group(40 mmol·L-1 potassium iodide and 2 mmol·L-1 4-PBA)and SB203580 group(40 mmol·L-1 potassium iodide and 10 μmol·L-1 SB203580).Western blot was used to detect the expression of glucose regulated protein 78(GRP78)and p-P38/P38 of Nthy-ori 3-1 cells.MTT and colony formation experiments were used to detect the proliferation level.Flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis level.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to detect the level of interleukin-6(IL-6).Results The expression levels of GRP78 protein in control group,model group,4-PBA group and SB203580 group were 0.15±0.03,0.61±0.07,0.27±0.03 and 0.37±0.04;the ratios of p-P38/P38 were 0.12±0.03,0.53±0.04,0.35±0.04 and 0.25±0.03;cell survival rates were(100.00±0.00)％,(53.71±6.16)％,(80.24±8.17)％and(71.29±7.36)％;the number of clones formed was 271.36±25.18,96.09±10.79,183.24±15.36 and 141.24±16.18;the apoptosis rates were(1.04±0.21)％,(9.27±1.67)％,(3.18±1.52)％and(3.82±1.09)％;IL-6 secretion levels were(0.71±0.08),(9.17±0.87),(3.26±0.29)and(4.71±0.41)nmol·L-1,respectively.For the above indicators,there was significant difference between the model group and the control group(all P＜0.05);there was significant difference between the 4-PBA group,SB203580 group and the model group(all P＜0.05).Conclusion High iodine can inhibit the proliferation of Nthy-ori 3-1 cells and induce apoptosis and secretion of inflammatory factors,which may be related to the activation of endoplasmic reticulum stress and P38MAPK signaling pathway by high iodine.

Based on the duality of "healthy" and "pathogenic" of the immune system in physiological and pathological states， and combined with the analogy between "immune function" and "healthy qi"， the theory of "transformation of healthy qi into pathogenic qi" was proposed to guide the pattern identification and treatment of autoimmune diseases. The theory of "transformation of healthy qi into pathogenic qi" means that "healthy qi"， which is originally used by the body's original ability to defend and remove harmful factors or normal functional activities， transformed into "pathogenic qi"， which is factors that damage and destroy the human body or abnormal body state. In the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases， the pathogenic factors and causes of congenital endowment， tissue damage under the influence of external pathogens， abnormal function of zang-fu （脏腑） organs and meridians， abnormal transmission and transformation of qi， blood， body fluids was proposed. Autoimmune diseases have the dynamic mechanism of latent pathogen at early stage， internal and external contraction at the onset stage， and the expansion of the pathogenic qi at the complete period， and also have the characteristics of the specificity， invisibility and contradiction of healthy qi and pathogenic qi. In terms of treatment， it advocates the ideas of treatment with both attack and supplementation throughout the disease， identifying diseases with special prescriptions and formulas for specific diseases， dynamically adjusting treatment by identifying the remission and onsets of the disease， observing the changes in the dynamics of healthy qi transforming into pathogenic qi， and treating disease before it arises with early intervention.

Objectives:To establish a comprehensive system of Cardiovascular Academic Performance Evaluation(CAPE)and rank global TOP100 medical institutions in the fields of cardiovascular diseases(CVD). Methods:CVD-related terms were extracted from Medical Subject Headings(MeSH),Embase thesaurus(EMtrees)and International Classification of Diseases(ICD)by CVD-related professionals,as well as by librarians and information professionals.Terminology databases(named as Fuwai Subject Headings)were established,and nine sub-disciplines were proposed,including ischemic heart diseases,hypertension,vascular diseases,arrhythmia,pulmonary vascular diseases,heart failure,congenital heart diseases,cardiomyopathy,and valvular heart diseases.The mapping patterns of sub-discipline,cardiovascular terminology and entry terms were pre-defined.The CVD-related research literature published from January 1,2016 to December 31,2022 were retrieved from Web of Science,PubMed and Scopus.Based on this,metadata were fused and duplicates were excluded.Fuwai Subject Headings were searched and matched into four respects for each literature,including subject words,titles,keywords,and abstracts,which was used to generate an information table of"Position—CVD terminology—Frequency",and to calculate CVD correlation scores and sub-discipline scores.We standardized the names of medical institutions and scholars,and make a ranking system for CAPE based on original articles with strong cardiovascular correlation(correlation score≥4).When evaluating the science and technological performance for Chinese hospitals in cardiovascular diseases,National Natural Science Foundation Projects,authorized invention patents,prize achievements,research platforms,and registered data of drug clinical trials in Center for Drug Evaluation(CDE)were considered besides research papers. Results:During 2016 and 2022,1 545 103 CVD research literatures were found worldwide.After excluding meeting abstracts,books,biographies,news,videos,audio texts,retracted publications,and corrections,1 178 019 CVD research literatures were further evaluated.518 058 literatures were indexed as"strongly correlated to CVD"using Fuwai Subject Headings.Besides papers,other data sources were also collected,including 11 143 CVD-related Natural Science Foundation Projects,19 382 CVD-related effective authorized invention patents,103 CVD-related national prize achievements,24 CVD-related national research platforms,and 2 084 CDE registered data of CVD-related drug clinical trials.Research teams from nine sub-disciplines reviewed and validated research literature in respective fields,and classification rules of corresponding sub-disciplines were created and improved based on their opinions.Finally,eleven individual indexes were chosen to construct CAPE system for ranking global TOP100 medical institutions in overall CVD field and TOP30 in nine sub-disciplines.From 2016 to 2022,the number of cardiovascular disease research papers published by Chinese institutes has increased by 123.5%,with a total of approximately 76.8 thousands papers published(about 30 papers per day on average),ranked the second under the United States(approximately 114.1 thousands papers).However,the proportion of papers published by the Chinese Journal Citation Reports(JCR)and the Chinese Academy of Sciences only ranked eighth in the world.In the comprehensive academic performance of original cardiovascular research papers in global hospitals from 2020 to 2022,only two Chinese medical institutions ranked in the TOP20 as evaluated by CAPE system. Conclusions:Based on multi-source data from 2016 to 2022,CAPE initiated to establish a cardiovascular academic performance evaluation system.

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.

Objective:To investigate the safety of minimally invasive liver resection for resectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) complicated with portal hypertension.Methods:The propensity score matching and retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 807 patients with resectable HCC who underwent minimally invasive liver resection in 8 medical centers, including Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Affiliated with the Zhejiang University School of Medicine et al, from June 2011 to November 2022 were collected. There were 670 males and 137 females, aged 58(50,66)years. Of the 807 patients, 173 cases with portal hypertension were divided into the portal hypertension group, and 634 cases without portal hypertension were divided into the non-portal hypertension group. Observation indicators: (1) propensity score matching and comparison of general data of patients between the two groups after matching; (2) intraoperative and post-operative situations; (3) subgroup analysis. Propensity score matching was done by the 1:1 nearest neighbor matching method, with the caliper setting as 0.001. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3), and comparison between groups was conducted using the rank sum test. Count data were described as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Comparison of ordinal data was constructed using the non-parameter rank sun test. Results:(1) Propensity score matching and comparison of general data of patients between the two groups after matching. Of the 807 patients, 268 cases were successfully matched, including 134 cases in the portal hypertension group and 134 cases in the non-portal hypertension group. The elimination of the tumor diameter and robot-assisted surgery confounding bias ensured comparability between the two groups after propensity score matching. (2) Intraoperative and postoperative situations. The occlusion time of porta hepatis, cases with intraoperative blood transfusion, cases with postoperative complication, cases with complication >Ⅱ grade of Clavien-Dindo classification, cases of Clavien-Dindo classification as Ⅰ grade, Ⅱ grade, Ⅲ grade, Ⅳ grade, cases with liver related complication were 27.0(15.0,43.0)minutes, 33, 55, 15, 13, 29, 14, 1, 37 in the portal hypertension group, versus 35.0(22.0,60.0)minutes, 17, 25, 5, 14, 9, 4, 1, 13 in the non-portal hypertension group, showing significant differences in the above indicators between the two groups ( Z=-2.15, χ2=6.30, 16.39, 4.38, 20.72, 14.16, P<0.05). (3) Subgroup analysis. Results of subgroups analysis showed that in cases with major live resection, the operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, duration of postoperative hospital stay were 243.5(174.6,296.3)minutes, 200.0(150.0,600.0)mL, 7.5(6.0,13.0)days in the portal hypertension group, versus 270.0(180.0,314.5)minutes, 200.0 (75.0,450.0)mL, 7.0(5.5,10.0)days in the non-portal hypertension group, showing no significant difference in the above indicators between the two groups ( Z=-0.54, -1.73, -0.92, P>0.05). In cases with non-major live resection, the operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, duration of postoperative hospital stay were 170.0(120.0,227.5)minutes, 100.0(50.0,200.0)mL, 8.0(5.0,10.0)days in the portal hypertension group, versus 170.0(120.0,227.5)minutes, 100.0(50.0,200.0)mL, 7.0(5.5,9.0)days in the non-portal hypertension group, showing no significant difference in the above indicators between the two groups ( Z=-1.39, -0.10, 1.05, P>0.05). In cases with anatomical liver resection, the operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, duration of postoperative hospital stay were 210.0(150.0,285.0)minutes, 150.0(50.0,200.0)mL, 8.0(6.0,9.3)days in the portal hypertension group, versus 225.5(146.3,306.8)minutes, 100.0(50.0,250.0)mL, 7.0(6.0,9.0)days in the non-portal hypertension group, showing no significant difference in the above indica-tors between the two groups ( Z=-0.75, -0.26, -0.91, P>0.05). In cases with non-anatomical liver resection, the operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, duration of postoperative hospital stay were 173.5(120.0,231.5)minutes, 175.0(50.0,300.0)mL, 7.0(5.0,11.0)days in the portal hyper-tension group, versus 186.0(123.0,262.5)minutes, 100.0(50.0,200.0)mL, 7.0(5.0,9.5)days in the non-portal hypertension group, showing no significant difference in the above indicators between the two groups ( Z=-0.97, -1.12, -0.98, P>0.05). Conclusion:Minimally invasive liver resection or even major liver resection is safe and feasible for screened HCC patients complicated with portal hyper-tension, but attention should be paid to the prevention and treatment of postoperative complications.

Objective:To investigate factors affecting the care needs of community-dwelling elderly people.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted.A face-to-face questionnaire survey was conducted using random samples of elderly people aged 60 years and above in six communities in Beijing to analyze the prevalence of diseases and care needs of elderly people in different age groups, and factors influencing elderly people's care needs.Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were used to analyze factors influencing these individuals' care needs based on basic personal situations, physical health status, economic situations, psychological and social status.Results:A total of 546 community-dwelling elderly people were recruited, with a mean age of(77.88±9.12)years.Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases were consistently found to be the most common diseases in all age groups(60-69 years: 57.81% or 74/128; 70-79 years: 56.49% or 87/154; 80-89 years: 76.74% or 165/215; 90 years or over: 83.67% or 41/49); Care needs for groups aged 70 year or over were higher than for the group aged between 60-69( χ2=47.209, P<0.001). Elderly people with more than 2 diseases, long-term use of more than 1 drug, occasional constipation, and feeling loneliness or holding the view that caregivers do not need basic medical knowledge had a low need for care( OR=0.172, 0.006, 0.088, 0.112, 0.005, respectively, P<0.05 for all). Those with only one child, a history of pain, willing to pay more than ￥4 000 to hire a care-giver, or with partial disability were more likely to feel the need for care( OR=548.732, 5.941, 4.265, 7.373, respectively, P<0.05 for all). Conclusions:The care needs of elderly people living at home and aged over 60 in 6 communities in Beijing are affected by multiple factors such as their family structure, physical health status, economic status and psychological status.Elderly people need to have and accept multi-dimensional care services provided by knowledgeable and skillful caregivers to improve their quality of life.

To investigate the evaluation and management of gastrointestinal fistula after upper gastrointestinal tunnel endoscopic surgery, a retrospective analysis was performed on 15 patients with gastrointestinal fistula after upper gastrointestinal tunnel endoscopic surgery, who were treated at the Endoscopy Center of Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from January 2012 to October 2022. All patients were treated successfully after comprehensive treatment. Three patients received metal clipping and gastric tube drainage; 10 patients received gastric tube drainage combined with jejunal nutritional tube placement, and 7 of them had gastric tube directly put into the fistula cavity; 2 patients received covered esophageal stent placement combined with jejunal nutritional tube placement. Five patients received wound tissue glue spraying; 2 patients underwent purse-string suture with nylon loops and metal clips after reduced fistula burned by hot biopsy forcep or argon plasma coagulation. The gastrointestinal fistula after tunnel endoscopic surgery is a complex postoperative complication, which needs early detection, careful evaluation and comprehensive treatment.

The United States is the country with the most pilot practices in value-based healthcare payment reform, and value-based purchasing (VBP) is one of its pilot projects. The authors introduced the basic situation and implementation effects of the pilot projects of VBP payment reform in the United States from the hospital and physician levels respectively, and analyzed the causes for their unsatisfactory implementation effects. Then, the authors proposed its enlightenments for China from such aspects as the construction of value-based medical payment index system, implementation of value-based medical payment reform, and management costs, to provide reference for the construction of high-quality value-based medical service system in China.

The pilot project for alternative payment models was originated from the implementation of the 2010 Affordable Care Act in the United States, which aimed to establish a new payment mode to replace the traditional payment based on service fees, thereby achieving the goals of ensuring healthcare quality, reducing healthcare costs, and improving healthcare equity. The pilot projects of alternative payment models included two types: accountable care organizations and bundled payments for care improvement. The authors introduced their profile and implementation effects, analyzed the causes of the current implementation effects, and then proposed enlightenments for the value-based medical payment reform in China, with the aim of providing reference for the construction of a high-quality value based medical service system in China.

Objective:To conduct a survey on the current situation of family nursing assistants for elderly people with chronic diseases and disability in the community from multiple dimensions such as personal information, work status, professional quality, difficult problems encountered in the nursing process, and solutions.Methods:From April to August 2022, a questionnaire survey was conducted among family nursing assistants of elderly people with chronic diseases and disability in six communities in Beijing using cluster sampling. We conducted a survey and analysis on the current situation of family nursing assistants for elderly people with chronic diseases and disability in the community from multiple dimensions, based on the presence or absence of professional qualification certificates for nursing assistants.Results:The study included 611 nursing assistants, aged (49.99±6.82) years, mainly composed of rural registered residence and education level below junior high school. Only 43.04% (263/611) of nursing assistants had professional qualification certificates for nursing assistants. Compared with those without professional qualification certificate for nursing assistants, those with professional qualification certificate for nursing assistants had statistical differences in gender, registered residence, education level, daily working hours, specific work content of care, monthly income, solutions to reduce the mobility of elderly nursing assistants, working years, feelings of caring for the daily health of elderly people with chronic diseases, psychological status, self-awareness about job, training to improve work skills, basic medical knowledge training, and reasons for not participating in training ( P<0.05). Nursing assistants reported a lack of medical and nursing knowledge and an urgent need for professional training and guidance from medical and nursing staff during the investigation of difficult issues encountered in their work. Conclusions:It is necessary to strengthen and improve the training of nursing professionals and basic medical knowledge of family nursing assistants for elderly people with chronic diseases and disability before and during work, which can help improve the level and quality of care provided by family nursing assistants.
