ObjectiveTo explore the elements， distribution and characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndromes in depressive episodes of bipolar disorder （BD）. MethodsBasic information， along with the four examination information， the Hamilton Depression Scale and Young Mania Rating Scale scores， were collected from 293 outpatients with BD at Beijing Anding Hospital， Capital Medical University. The four examination information with an occurrence rate greater than 12% were retained. The R language “dist” function was used to calculate the distances between samples using the Euclidean distance method. The hierarchical clustering of the four examination information was performed using the “hclust” function and the squared Euclidean distance method. A team of five researchers was formed to determine the nature and location of the essential elements of TCM syndrome in BD based on the clustering results. The PC algorithm was used to construct a Bayesian network model of the essential elements. The working group combined the essential elements of TCM syndromes in the Bayesian network according to the reference model results， and then extracted common TCM syndromes. The score of each patient based on the essential elements was matched with the common TCM syndromes to determine the syndrome type of each patient. The working group then performs conformity and revision based on this， obtaining the final distribution of TCM syndromes for the patients. ResultsThere were 77 common TCM symptoms in BD with a frequency greater than 12%. The top 15 symptoms with higher frequencies were slippery pulse， mental fatigue and lack of strength， wiry pulse， excessive rumination， preference for solitude， vexation， agitation and irritability， dry mouth， palpitations， profuse dreaming， unwarranted worries， chest oppression， thin white coating， amnesia， frequent sighing， and poor appetite. TCM syndrome elements of BD can be grouped into 11 categories. The nature of disease-related essential elements included fire， qi deficiency， blood deficiency， qi counterflow， yin deficiency， dampness， heat， fire from constraint， and phlegm. The location of disease-related essential elements included heart， liver， spleen， stomach， kidney， bladder channel， and gallbladder. By constructing a Bayesian network model and considering the opinions from the experts， six common syndromes of BD were identified， among which the highest proportion was heart-stomach heat accumulation， accounting for 27.99% （82 cases）， followed by heart-spleen deficiency （55 cases， 18.77%）， non-interaction between the heart and the kidney （49 cases， 16.72%）， liver constraint and blood deficiency （42 cases， 14.33%）， heart qi deficiency （37 cases， 12.63%）， and damp-heat in the liver and gallbladder （28 cases， 9.56%）. ConclusionsThe nature of disease-related elements of BD are predominantly fire and heat， while the location of disease-related essential elements are primarily associated with the heart， liver， and spleen. The most common TCM syndromes are heart-stomach heat accumulation and heart-spleen deficiency.

To explore the effectiveness of "near peer learning" (NPL) in the electromyography(EMG)teaching module for neurology residents.

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) combined with lower cervical fracture is often categorized into unstable fracture, with a high incidence of neurological injury and a high rate of disability and morbidity. As factors such as shoulder occlusion may affect the accuracy of X-ray imaging diagnosis, it is often easily misdiagnosed at the primary diagnosis. Non-operative treatment has complications such as bone nonunion and the possibility of secondary neurological damage, while the timing, access and choice of surgical treatment are still controversial. Currently, there are no clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of AS combined with lower cervical fracture with or without dislocation. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedics Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts to formulate Clinical guidelines for the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis combined with lower cervical fracture in adults ( version 2024) in accordance with the principles of evidence-based medicine, scientificity and practicality, in which 11 recommendations were put forward in terms of the diagnosis, imaging evaluation, typing and treatment, etc, to provide guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of AS combined with lower cervical fracture.

ObjectiveTo analyze the relationship between somatic symptoms， five-state personality and emotional symptoms of bipolar disorder （BD）， and to provide a reference for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of BD. MethodsThe basic information of the BD patients was collected， and the self-administered somatic symptom questionnaire was used to investigate the somatic symptoms with a frequency of ＞20%， which were scored as the somatic symptom scores； the 24-item Hamilton Depression Scale （HAMD） was used to evaluate the patients' depressive symptoms， the Young Mania Rating Scale （YMRS） was used to evaluate the patients' manic symptoms， the Hamilton Anxiety Scale （HAMA） was used to evaluate the patients' anxiety symptoms， and Five-State Personality Test was used to evaluate the patients' five-state personality （including taiyang personality， shaoyang personality， yin-yang balance personality， shaoyin personality， and taiyin personality）. Network analysis and linear regression were used to analyse the correlation between the somatic symptom scores and the five-state personality scores， HAMD scores， YMRS scores， and HAMA scores. ResultsThere were 269 patients with BD included， and 19 somatic symptoms with a frequency of ＞20%， the top three being lack of strength （152 cases， 56.51%）， dry mouth （137 cases， 50.93%）， and preference for cold drinks （112 cases， 41.64%）， and the somatic symptom scores were ［7.0 （0，10.0）］ points； the YMRS scores were ［3.0 （0， 7.5）］ points； the HAMD scores were ［11.0 （5.0， 18.0）］ points； and HAMA score was ［6.0 （2.0， 10.0）］ points. Among the five-state personalities， taiyang personality ［10.0 （7.0， 13.0）］ score； shaoyang personality ［10.0 （7.5， 13.0）］ score； yin-yang balance personality ［5.0 （3.0， 7.0）］ score； shaoyin personality ［13.0 （10.0， 16.0）］ score； and taiyin personality ［14.0 （9.0， 18.0）］ score. Complex network analysis showed that BD somatic symptoms were positively correlated with taiyin personality score （r = 0.23）， HAMD score （r = 0.21）， and YMRS score （r = 0.13）； taiyin personality score was positively correlated with HAMD score （r = 0.17） and negatively correlated with YMRS score （r = -0.03）. Linear regression analyses showed that somatic symptom scores were positively correlated with HAMD score （β = 0.138， P = 0.003）， YMRS score （β = 0.128， P = 0.006）， and taiyin personality scores （β = 0.182， P＜0.001）. ConclusionDepression， mania， and taiyin personality are independent risk factors for somatic symptoms in patients with BD， and taiyin personality is strongly associated with somatic symptoms in patients with BD.

The biological clock(also known as the circadian rhythm)is the fundamental reliance for all organisms on Earth to adapt and survive in the Earth's rotation environment.Circadian rhythm is the most basic regulatory mechanism of life activities,and plays a key role in maintaining normal physiological and biochemical homeostasis,disease occurrence and treatment.Recent studies have shown that the biologi-cal clock plays an important role in the development of oral tissues and in the occurrence and treatment of oral diseases.Since there is cur-rently no guiding literature on the research methods of biological clock in stomatology,researchers mainly conduct research based on pub-lished references,which has led to controversy about the research methods of biological clock in stomatology,and there are many confusions about how to rationally apply the research methods of circadia rhythms.In view of this,this expert consensus summarizes the characteristics of the biological clock and analyzes the shortcomings of the current biological clock research in stomatology,and organizes relevant experts to summarize and recommend 10 principles as a reference for the rational implementation of the biological clock in stomatology research.

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 efficiency and safety of the pulsatile GnRH therapy in the treatment of male congeni-tal hypogonadotropic hypogonadism(CHH).Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data on 45 CHH males treated by pulsatile GnRH therapy in our hospital from January 2013 to March 2023.We treated the patients with gonadorelin at 7-15 μg,one pulse/90 min,and followed them up every month in the first 3 months and then every 3 to 6 months after treatment,for an average of 19.1±4.3 months,during which we recorded the height,body weight,penile length,testis volume,Tanner stages,levels of FSH,LH and T,semen parameters and adverse reactions of the patients,followed by comparison of the data obtained with the baseline.Results:The levels of FSH,LH and T of the patients were dramatically elevated after treatment(P<0.01).The T level of the6 ca-ses of cryptorchidism,however,failed to reach the normal value within 18.2±8.6 months of follow-up.Significant improvement was seen in the external genitalia and secondary sexual characteristics of all the patients,and spermatogenesis was observed in the semen in 33 cases(73.3% ),with a mean sperm concentration of(18.2±6.2)106/ml,sperm progressive motility of(19.7±6.5)%,and semen volume of(1.8±0.6)ml.Eight of the cases achieved natural fertility,and another 3 achieved childbirth by assisted re-productive technology.As for adverse events,gynecomastia was observed in 8,subcutaneous induration in 6,and allergic reaction to therapeutic agent in 3 cases.Conclusion:Pulsatile GnRH therapy is an effective and safe strategy for male CHH.However,clini-cians should choose appropriate approaches to different individual cases.

Objective To explore the potential value of three-dimensional fast spin echo(3D-SPACE)combined with multilayer spiral CT(MSCT)in the diagnosis of knee cruciate ligament injury,to provide a new direction for the optimization of subsequent clinical diagnosis.Methods A total of 120 patients with knee cruciate ligament injury were treated from April 2020 to April 2021,aged from 21 to 68 with an average of(41.52±4.13)years old.For all patients,separate MSCT scanner scans,3D-SPACE sequence scans alone and 3D-SPACE sequence combined with MSCT scans were used.The injury and classifica-tion of the anterior and posterior cruciate ligament of the knee were compared,the length of the anterior-medial bundle and posterolateral bundle and its angle of the knee with the horizontal plane were observed,the diagnostic value of 3 diagnostic methods in knee cruciate ligament injury were determined.Results There was no significant difference between the 3D-SPACE sequence scan alone and the MSCT test alone on the total diagnostic rate and grading total diagnostic rate(P＞0.05).The total diagnostic rate and grading total diagnostic rate of 3D-SPACE scan combined with MSCT were significantly higher than those of 3D-SPACE scan or MSCT alone(P＜0.05).The 3D-SPACE sequence scan alone and the MSCT detection alone had no signifi-cant difference in the measurement values related to the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments of the knee joint(P＞0.05).3D-SPACE sequence scanning combined with MSCT detection on the knee joint anterior and posterior cruciate ligament related mea-surements were significantly higher than the 3D-SPACE sequence scan or MSCT detection alone(P＜0.05).The area under the ROC curve estimated by 3D-SPACE sequence scanning combined with MSCT was 0.960,which was significantly higher than that of 3D-SPACE sequence scanning and MSCT alone evaluating the area under the ROC curve line of 0.756 and 0.795.The com-bined 3D-SPACE sequence scanning and 3D-SPACE sequence scanning MSCT analysis and prediction models were statistically different(Z=2.236,P＜0.05),and MSCT alone and 3D-SPACE sequence scanning combined with MSCT analysis and prediction models were statistically different(Z=2.653,P＜0.05).Conclusion The application of 3D-SPACE sequence combined with MSCT scanning for knee cruciate ligament injury can improve the diagnosis rate of patients with knee cruciate ligament injury.It can be used as a diagnostic tool for patients with knee cruciate ligament injury and is worthy of clinical application.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of Xuanbai Chengqi Decoction on respiratory and oxygenation functions and the ex-pression levels of serum aquaporin(AQP)1 and AQP5 in patients with severe pneumonia complicated with gastrointestinal dysfunction of lung heat and fu-organ repletion type.METHODS 60 patients with severe pneumonia complicated with gastrointestinal dysfunc-tion of lung heat and fu-organ repletion type were randomly divided into control group and treatment group,with 30 cases each.The control group received standardized Western medicine treatment,and the treatment group was treated with Xuanbai Chengqi Decoction in addition to the control group.Both groups were treated for 7 d.The respiratory rate and oxygenation index,mechanical ventilation u-tilization rate,the clinical score including CURB-65 and CPIS scores,TCM syndrome score,gastrointestinal function indicators inclu-ding intra-abdominal pressure,serum gastrin(GAS)and vasoactive intestinal peptide(VIP),AQP1 and AQP5 levels were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.Ventilation utilization and ICU hospitalization days during treatment were compared between the two groups.RESULTS After treatment,compared with the control group,the respiratory rate,TCM syndrome score and intra-abdominal pressure in the treatment group were decreased significantly(P<0.05,P<0.01);meanwhile,the oxygenation index and the levels of serum GAS,AQP1 and AQP5 were increased significantly(P<0.05,P<0.01).CONCLUSION Xuanbai Chengqi Decoction can significantly improve clinical symptoms such as respiratory and oxygenation functions in patients,and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of AQP1 and AQP5.

Objective:To establish a mesenchymal stem cell(MSC)-based in vitro cell model for the evaluation of mouse bone marrow acute graft-versus-host disease(aGVHD).Methods:Female C57BL/6N mice aged 6-8 weeks were used as bone marrow and lymphocyte donors,and female BALB/c mice aged 6-8 weeks were used as aGVHD recipients.The recipient mouse received a lethal dose(8.0 Gy,72.76 cGy/min)of total body γ irradiation,and injected with donor mouse derived bone marrow cells(1× 107/mouse)in 6-8 hours post irradiation to establish a bone marrow transplantation(BMT)mouse model(n=20).In addition,the recipient mice received a lethal dose(8.0 Gy,72.76 cGy/min)of total body γ irradiation,and injected with donor mouse derived bone marrow cells(1 × 107/mouse)and spleen lymphocytes(2 × 106/mouse)in 6-8 hours post irradiation to establish a mouse aGVHD model(n=20).On the day 7 after modeling,the recipient mice were anesthetized and the blood was harvested post eyeball enucleation.The serum was collected by centrifugation.Mouse MSCs were isolated and cultured with the addition of 2％,5％,and 10％recipient serum from BMT group or aGVHD group respectively.The colony-forming unit-fibroblast(CFU-F)experiment was performed to evaluate the potential effects of serums on the self-renewal ability of MSC.The expression of CD29 and CD105 of MSC was evaluated by immunofluorescence staining.In addition,the expression of self-renewal-related genes including Oct-4,Sox-2,and Nanog in MSC was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR).Results:We successfully established an in vitro cell model that could mimic the bone marrow microenvironment damage of the mouse with aGVHD.CFU-F assay showed that,on day 7 after the culture,compared with the BMT group,MSC colony formation ability of aGVHD serum concentrations groups of 2％and 5％was significantly reduced(P＜0.05);after the culture,at day 14,compared with the BMT group,MSC colony formation ability in different aGVHD serum concentration was significantly reduced(P＜0.05).The immunofluorescence staining showed that,compared with the BMT group,the proportion of MSC surface molecules CD29+and CD 105+cells was significantly dereased in the aGVHD serum concentration group(P＜0.05),the most significant difference was at a serum concentration of 10％(P＜0.001,P＜0.01).The results of RT-qPCR detection showed that the expression of the MSC self-renewal-related genes Oct-4,Sox-2,and Nanog was decreased,the most significant difference was observed at an aGVHD serum concentration of 10％(P＜0.01,P＜0.001,P＜0.001).Conclusion:By co-culturing different concentrations of mouse aGVHD serum and mouse MSC,we found that the addition of mouse aGVHD serum at different concentrations impaired the MSC self-renewal ability,which providing a new tool for the field of aGVHD bone marrow microenvironment damage.
