		                        			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.

		                        			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.

PSM and PMM FIs were defined as the ratio of fat to its muscle cross-sectional area. The FIs were compared among patients with different pelvic tilt (PT) and pelvic incidence (PI), respectively. 
		                        		
		                        			Results:
		                        			The PSM FI correlated significantly with pelvic parameters in DLS patients, but not in LSS patients. The PSM FI in pelvic retroversion (PT > 25°) was 0.54 ± 0.13, which was significantly higher in DLS patients than in normal pelvis (0.41 ± 0.14) and pelvic anteversion (PT < 5°) (0.34 ± 0.12). The PSM FI of DLS patients with large PI ( > 60°) was 0.50 ± 0.13, which was higher than those with small ( < 45°) and normal PI (0.37 ± 0.11 and 0.36 ± 0.13). However, the PSM FI of LSS patients didn’t change significantly with PT or PI. Moreover, the PMM FI was about 0.10–0.15, which was significantly lower than the PSM FI, and changed with PT and PI in a similar way of PSM FI with much less in magnitude.

		                        			 To explore the effectiveness of "near peer learning" (NPL) in the electromyography(EMG)teaching module for neurology residents. The Department of Neurology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital implemented an NPL instructional design for a course on EMG for residents from November 2020 to March 2024. This teaching session was held annually, in which senior residents instructed juniors who were 1 or 2 years earlier in their training. The residents participated in the pre-course/post-course tests and completed a feedback survey at the end of the session. This evaluation method was used to understand the effectiveness of the NPL intervention in EMG teaching. Over four years, a total of 83 residents participated. Among them, there were 24 postdoctoral students, 52 postgraduates and 7 junior residents. The results showed that the post-course test scores were significantly improved compared with pre-course test scores (74.33±2.43  The NPL intervention is suitable for the teaching of EMG, because of its contribution to knowledge acquisition and basic clinical skills improvement. The NPL is worth replicating in other teaching and learning programs.

		                        			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.
