Mental state is an important part of the normal life activities of the human body, and it is also the most external expression and the most easily obtained information of the physical condition. The normal activities of the mind depend on the normal operation of the viscera, qi, and blood, and are a unified whole that prospers together and suffers together. The theory of the five-spirit-viscera in the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic revealed that the normal mental activities of the human body were dominated by the five internal organs, that is, the five internal organs were the body and the five spirits were the function. And it highlighted the viewpoint that the five internal organs store the spirits and are actually one. The heart governs the spirit and belongs to the four internal organs. On this basis, Synopsis of Golden Chamber used the internal organs to diagnose and treat mental diseases, integrating the theory of the five spirits into it, forming a unique method of diagnosis and treatment with the heart as the leading factor and regulating the qi and blood of the four internal organs. It identified the pathogenesis of diseases such as pathogenic crying, lily disease, and hysteria from five levels: heart deficiency and weak qi, heart-lung disharmony, heart-liver disharmony, the heart of the loss of the spleen nourishment, and disharmony between heart and kidney. The treatment was mainly to replenish the deficiency of the viscera and eliminate the pathogens, reflecting the characteristics of regulating the mind and calming the four internal organs. This unique view on diagnosis and treatment has profoundly influenced the diagnosis and treatment theories of mental illnesses by later doctors, and is of great significance to the current clinical treatment of such illnesses.

Objectives:To evaluate the tricuspid valve(TV)geometric remodeling in patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension(IPAH)by three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography. Methods:Two-dimensional and three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography were performed in 30 IPAH patients and 15 healthy controls,and the geometry parameters of TV were obtained by four-dimensional auto tricuspid valve quantitative(4D Auto-TVQ)in the right ventricular-focused apical view.Pulmonary arterial hypertension was determined by right heart catheterization within 48 hours of echocardiography. Results:The 4-chamber diameter,tricuspid annular(TA)perimeter,TA area,maximal tenting height,coaptation point height and tenting volume were larger in IPAH patients than those in healthy controls(all P<0.05),2-chamber diameter was similar between two groups.In IPAH group,maximal tenting height and coaptation point height were moderately correlated with right ventricular end-diastolic volume(r=0.710,r=0.515,both P<0.05),while TA perimeter,4-chamber diameter and TA area were moderately correlated with right atrial end-systolic volume(r=0.712,r=0.558,r=0.545,all P<0.05). Conclusions:IPAH patients have larger maximal tenting height,coaptation point height and tenting volume,TA enlargement is mainly visible in 4-chamber diameter.TV tenting height is associated with right ventricular volume,but TA size is associated with right atrial volume in IPAH patients.

Objective:
To investigate the incidence trend of tuberculosis in Haidong City, Qinghai Province from 2006 to 2020, and the effects of age, period, and cohort on tuberculosis incidence, so as to provide the basis for enhancing the prevention and control for tuberculosis.
Methods:
Data of tuberculosis cases in Haidong City from 2006 to 2020 were collected from the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. Incidence rates were calculated and standardized using data from the Sixth National Population Census in 2010. The trends in incidence of tuberculosis were analyzed by annual percent change (APC). Effects of age, period and cohort on the incidence of tuberculosis were analyzed by an age-period-cohort model.
Results:
The crude incidence rates of tuberculosis in Haidong City from 2006 to 2020 ranged from 37.69/105 to 100.93/105, and the standardized incidence rates ranged from 42.85/105 to 115.24/105. The standardized incidence rates from 2006 to 2015 showed a decreasing trend (APC=-7.148%, P<0.05), while there was no significant trend observed from 2015 to 2020 (all P>0.05). The age-period-cohort model analysis showed that the highest incidence risk of tuberculosis in Haidong City from 2006 to 2020 was observed in the age group of 20-<25 years (RR=2.973, 95%CI: 2.353-3.756), followed by the age group of 80-<85 years (RR=2.785, 95%CI: 2.206-3.516). The incidence risk of tuberculosis was higher in the period from 2016 to 2020 (RR=1.253, 95%CI: 1.203-1.306) compared to the period from 2011 to 2015 (RR=0.796, 95%CI: 0.770-0.823). Tuberculosis incidence risk was the highest in the birth cohort from 1936 to 1940 (RR=3.050, 95%CI: 2.356-3.949), and then gradually decreased over time thereafter.
Conclusions
The incidence of tuberculosis in Haidong City showed a decreasing trend from 2006 to 2015, while there was no significant trend observed from 2015 to 2020. The incidence risk of tuberculosis was higher in the age groups of 20-<25 years and 80-<85 years, and the risk decreased for those born in more recent years.

Objective :
To investigate the expression of genes and proteins in the peripheral blood mononuclear cell ( PBMC) cystine / glutamate antiporter system (System Xc-) / glutathione ( GSH) / glutathione peroxidase 4 ( GPX4) ferroptosis pathway and its influence on inflammatory factors in patients with rheumatoid arthritis ( RA) .
Methods :
30 patients with RA and 30 healthy participants were enrolled.PBMCs were isolated using Ficoll-hypaque density gradient centrifugation.The cells were categorized into the healthy control,RA,ferroptosis inhibitor,ferroptosis in- ducer group.The cell viability was checked using the cell counting kit-8 ( CCK-8) method.Intracellular Fe2 + rela- tive fluorescence intensity and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were detected using the FerroOrange and Di- hydroethidium (DHE) fluorescent probes,respectively.Western blot and real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) de- tected the expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 ( Nrf2 ) ,solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) ,GPX4 proteins and mRNA.And the flow cytometry quantified the levels of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) ,Interleukin (IL) -1,and IL-6 in the supernatant of each cell group.
Results :
Compared to the healthy control group,the RA group showed a significantly increased Fe2 + concentration and elevated ROS levels,reduced expression of Nrf2,SLC7A11 and GPX4 proteins and mRNA,and increased contents of TNF-α , IL-1 and IL-6 in PBMC supernatant,and the differences were statistically significant.The concentration of Fe2 + and ROS levels in the inhibitor group were lower than those in the RA group,the proteins expressions of Nrf2,SLC7A11 and GPX4 increased,the mRNA expressions of SLC7A11 and GPX4 increased,the content of IL-6 in the PBMC supernatant decreased but the content of TNF-α increased,and the differences were statistically significant.In contrast,the in- ducer group,when compared to the RA group,displayed increased ROS levels,reduced expression of SLC7A11 protein and mRNA and decreased expression of Nrf2 protein,and the contents of TNF-α and IL-1 in the PBMC su- pernatant increased,but the expression of GPX4 protein increased ,and the differences were statistically signifi- cant.The inducer group,compared to the RA group,showed increased cell viability,and the difference was statis-
tically significant (P<0. 000 1) .
Conclusion
The presence of ferroptosis in PBMC in RA patients,inhibiting or inducing PBMC ferroptosis in RA patients,will inhibit or promote the secretion of inflammatory factors.Inhibition of PBMC ferroptosis in RA patients may be helpful in the treatment of RA.

With the increasing proportion of human papilloma virus(HPV)infection in the pathogenic factors of oro-pharyngeal cancer,a series of changes have occurred in the surgical treatment.While the treatment mode has been im-proved,there are still many problems,including the inconsistency between diagnosis and treatment modes,the lack of popularization of reconstruction technology,the imperfect post-treatment rehabilitation system,and the lack of effective preventive measures.Especially in terms of treatment mode for early oropharyngeal cancer,there is no unified conclu-sion whether it is surgery alone or radiotherapy alone,and whether robotic minimally invasive surgery has better func-tional protection than radiotherapy.For advanced oropharyngeal cancer,there is greater controversy over the treatment mode.It is still unclear whether to adopt a non-surgical treatment mode of synchronous chemoradiotherapy or induction chemotherapy combined with synchronous chemoradiotherapy,or a treatment mode of surgery combined with postopera-tive chemoradiotherapy.In order to standardize the surgical treatment of oropharyngeal cancer in China and clarify the indications for surgical treatment of oropharyngeal cancer,this expert consensus,based on the characteristics and treat-ment status of oropharyngeal cancer in China and combined with the international latest theories and practices,forms consensus opinions in multiple aspects of preoperative evaluation,surgical indication determination,primary tumor re-section,neck lymph node dissection,postoperative defect repair,postoperative complication management prognosis and follow-up of oropharyngeal cancer patients.The key points include:① Before the treatment of oropharyngeal cancer,the expression of P16 protein should be detected to clarify HPV status;② Perform enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the maxillofacial region before surgery to evaluate the invasion of oropharyngeal cancer and guide precise surgical resec-tion of oropharyngeal cancer.Evaluating mouth opening and airway status is crucial for surgical approach decisions and postoperative risk prediction;③ For oropharyngeal cancer patients who have to undergo major surgery and cannot eat for one to two months,it is recommended to undergo percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy before surgery to effectively improve their nutritional intake during treatment;④ Early-stage oropharyngeal cancer patients may opt for either sur-gery alone or radiation therapy alone.For intermediate and advanced stages,HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer general-ly prioritizes radiation therapy,with concurrent chemotherapy considered based on tumor staging.Surgical treatment is recommended as the first choice for HPV unrelated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma(including primary and re-current)and recurrent HPV related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma after radiotherapy and chemotherapy;⑤ For primary exogenous T1-2 oropharyngeal cancer,direct surgery through the oral approach or da Vinci robotic sur-gery is preferred.For T3-4 patients with advanced oropharyngeal cancer,it is recommended to use temporary mandibu-lectomy approach and lateral pharyngotomy approach for surgery as appropriate;⑥ For cT1-2N0 oropharyngeal cancer patients with tumor invasion depth>3 mm and cT3-4N0 HPV unrelated oropharyngeal cancer patients,selective neck dissection of levels ⅠB to Ⅳ is recommended.For cN+HPV unrelated oropharyngeal cancer patients,therapeutic neck dissection in regions Ⅰ-Ⅴ is advised;⑦ If PET-CT scan at 12 or more weeks after completion of radiation shows intense FDG uptake in any node,or imaging suggests continuous enlargement of lymph nodes,the patient should undergo neck dissection;⑧ For patients with suspected extracapsular invasion preoperatively,lymph node dissection should include removal of surrounding muscle and adipose connective tissue;⑨ The reconstruction of oropharyngeal cancer defects should follow the principle of reconstruction steps,with priority given to adjacent flaps,followed by distal pedicled flaps,and finally free flaps.The anterolateral thigh flap with abundant tissue can be used as the preferred flap for large-scale postoperative defects.

Neck dissection(ND)is one of the main treatment methods for oral and maxillofacial malignancies.Although ND type is in con-stant improvement,but intraoperative peal-pull-push injury of the accessory nerve,muscle,muscle membrane,fascia and ligament induced shoulder syndrome(SS)is still a common postoperative complication,combined with the influence of radiochemotherapy,not only can cause pain,stiffness,numbness,limited dysfunction of shoulder neck and arm,but also may have serious impact on patient's life quality and phys-ical and mental health.At present,there is still a lack of a systematic evaluation and rehabilitation management program for postoperative SS of oral and maxillofacial malignant tumors.Based on the previous clinical practice and the current available evidence,refer to the relevant lit-erature at home and abroad,the experts in the field of maxillofacial tumor surgery and rehabilitation were invited to discuss,modify and reach a consenusus on the etiology,assessment diagnosis,differential diagnosis,rehabilitation strategy and prevention of SS,in order to provide clinical reference.

Objective:
To investigate the changes of microorganisms and metabolites in joint effusion of patients with Rheumatoid arthritis(RA), Osteoarthritis(OA) and Urarthritis(UA). To provide new ideas for the study of the effect of microbiota on the pathogenesis of arthritis.
Methods:
Joint effusion samples were collected from 20 patients with RA, 20 patients with OA, and 20 patients with UA. 16S rRNA gene sequencing and untargeted ultra-high performance Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry(LC-MS) were used to explore the differences in microorganisms and metabolites among the three groups. Pearson correlation analysis was used to detect the correlation between effusion microbiota and metabolites.
Results:
There were differences in microbial diversity and microbiota composition among the three groups. Combined with VIP>1 from OPLS-DA andP<0.05 from two-tailed Students t-test, 45 differential metabolites(Between RA and OA groups), 38 differential metabolites(Between UA and OA groups) and 16 differential metabolites(Between RA and UA groups), were identified. GO analysis and KEGG pathway analysis showed that the differential metabolic pathways among the three groups were mainly concentrated in citric acid cycle(TCA cycle), nucleotide metabolism, amino acid metabolism and glycolysis pathway. Correlation analysis of joint effusion microbiota and metabolites suggested that bacteria enriched in the three groups of joint effusion, such asPrevotella,Clostridium ruminosus,Prevotellaceae_UCG-001, were related to many key metabolites such as lysozyme, uric acid, glucose, and L-glutamine.
Conclusion
This study shows that there are a variety of bacterial flora in joint cavity effusion of RA, OA, and UA patients, and the differential metabolites produced by them are involved in the pathogenesis of the three types of arthritis by affecting a variety of metabolic pathways.
