As two different groups in disasters or accidents, despite the differences in roles and experiences between rescuers and victims, both of them may be exposed to traumatic stimuli and have the potential to obtain post-traumatic growth (PTG). Through the analysis of existing documents and actual situation, it was found that the traumatic experiences, the connotation and characteristics of PTG in rescuers may be essentially different from those of the victims. The traumatic experiences were significantly different between the rescuers and the victims, such as preparedness, quantity and types, risk and protective factors, as well as the trauma outcomes. In terms of the connotation of PTG, rescuers may generate various positive emotions and career growth that victims cannot. Regarding the characteristics of PTG, rescuers exhibited by professionalism, complexity of dynamic processes, and richness of static connotations. However, the measurements and theoretical basis in extant research on the PTG of rescuers were both developed on the studies of victims, which has certain limitations. To more effectively explore this research field, future research is needed to deeply analyze the connotation of PTG of rescuers and construct appropriate theoretical models.

Da Qinjiaotang is the 54th formula of the 100 formulas in the Catalogue of Ancient Classical Formulas (the first batch) ,and it originated from the Collection of Writings on the Mechanism of Disease, Suitability of Qi, and Safeguarding of Life Discussed in Plain Questions. Da Qinjiaotang is composed of Gentiana macrophylla, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Angelica sinensis, Paeonia lactiflora, Asari Radix et Rhizoma, Notopterygium incisum, Saposhnikoviae Radix, Scutellariae Radix, Gypsum, Angelica dahurica, Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, Rehmanniae Radix, Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata, Poria, and Angelicae Pubescentis Radix. It is a classical formula for treating strokes. Da Qinjiaotang is widely used in modern clinical practices for treating ischemic stroke, peripheral facial paralysis, cervical spondylosis, rheumatic arthritis, neurodermatitis, and other multisystem diseases. Therefore, following the Principles of Textual Research on the Key Information of Ancient Classical Famous Formulas, the authors collected the ancient Chinese medical literature of Da Qinjiaotang by the method of bibliometrics and screened out 177 valid data, involving 100 ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine. Based on the historical evolution, composition, dosage, method of preparation, and preparation of the original medicinal materials of Da Qinjiaotang, a systematic study was carried out. It was found that among the 175 records of the main diseases and syndromes, stroke (144) was the most, accounting for 82.29% of the total diseases and syndromes. Later generations mostly followed the practice of LIU Wansu in using Da Qinjiaotang to treat stroke caused by "weak blood and inability to nourish tendon", featuring "hands and feet cannot move, stiff tongue hinders speaking", as well as other symptoms, such as slant of the mouth, hemiplegia, numbness of the limbs, paroxysmal pain, and acerbic syncope. The treatment scope was expanded, covering tendon dryness, clonic convulsion, spasm syndrome, and arthralgia syndrome. At the same time, it was found that there was a controversy between "internal wind" and "external wind" in the treatment of stroke by Da Qinjiaotang. LIU Wansu thought that stroke was caused by internal factors, created the theory of "hot stroke", and used Da Qinjiaotang to treat "internal wind". Many doctors in later generations focused on treating the "external wind" of "internal deficiency and evil". There were 76 valid data on the composition of drugs, 59 of which had doses for each drug. It was suggested to use the modern conversion dosage of the original formula, with 41.30 g per dose. The drug should be boiled in 600 mL water until 300 mL, decocted once, and taken in a warm state after removing the dregs anytime. Through the analysis and study of the ancient books about Da Qinjiaotang, the paper clarified its historical evolution and confirmed its key information, so as to provide the ancient literature evidence for the research and development of the classical famous formula Daqinjiaotan and its better clinical application.

BACKGROUND:Extracellular vesicles are secreted into the extracellular milieu by a wide range of cell types,including tumor cells,under different physiological and pathophysiological conditions,where a wide range of biological signals and cell-to-cell signaling exists.Tumor-derived extracellular vesicles may exacerbate cancer progression,survival,invasion,and promote angiogenesis. OBJECTIVE:To review the research progress of extracellular vesicles in the diagnosis and treatment of oral squamous cell carcinoma. METHODS:Literature search was performed by the first author in PubMed,WanFang,CNKI and other databases with the keywords"EVs,oral squamous cell carcinoma,diagnosis and treatment,biopsy,tissue engineering"in Chinese and English.Finally,63 articles were included for analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)In oral squamous carcinoma saliva biopsies,extracellular vesicles play a crucial role in the progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma by acting as an information transfer tool between tumor cells and the surrounding microenvironment,carrying a wide range of biomolecules including soluble proteins,lipids,DNA,and RNA.These tiny vesicles not only play a key role in tumor growth and spread,but also provide important information about the biological properties of the tumor.(2)Saliva biopsy,as a non-invasive diagnostic method,can open up new possibilities for early diagnosis and targeted treatment of oral squamous cell carcinoma by analyzing the extracellular vesicles therein.(3)It has been found that bioactive molecules,such as microRNAs(miRNAs)and specific proteins,contained within extracellular vesicles can serve as biomarkers for oral squamous carcinoma and improve the accuracy of early diagnosis.Specific proteins in extracellular vesicles such as EHD2,CAVIN1,PF4V1,and CXCL7 show potential as novel predictive biomarkers.(4)In addition,this paper highlights the potential application of extracellular vesicles in the treatment of oral squamous carcinoma.Through engineering modifications,extracellular vesicles can serve as a new generation of nanoscale drug delivery systems to enhance the efficiency and specificity of targeted tumor therapy.(5)Future studies will further explore the effect and mechanism of extracellular vesicles in oral squamous cell carcinoma,which is expected to improve patients'survival and quality of life.

ObjectiveTo explore the possible mechanism of the Yiqi Jiedu formula (YQ) in treating ischemic stroke (IS) from the perspective of the microbial-gut-brain axis (MGBA). MethodRats were randomly divided into five groups, with six in each group, including sham surgery group, model group, and low, medium, and high dose YQ groups (1, 5, and 25 mg·kg-1). Except for the sham surgery group, all other groups were established with a middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model using the thread occlusion method. The success of modeling was determined through neurobehavioral scoring, and the protective effect of YQ on IS was evaluated. Then, the changes in gut microbiota before and after MCAO modeling and YQ administration were compared using 16S rDNA sequencing technology, and the possible biological pathways related to the effect of this formula were analyzed. The expression of inflammatory factors such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-17A (IL-17A), and interleukin-10 (IL-10) in serum was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Western blot was used to detect the expression of tight junction proteins ZO-1 and Occludin in brain and intestinal tissue, and hematoxylin-eosin staining (HE) was used to observe pathological changes in the cerebral cortex and colon, so as to validate the possible mechanism of action. ResultYQ significantly improved the neurobehavioral score of MCAO rats (P<0.01) and played a good regulatory role in intestinal microbial disorders caused by enriched pathogens and opportunistic pathogens during the acute phase. Among them, significantly changed microorganisms include Morgentia, Escherichia Shigella, Adlercreutzia, and Androbacter. Bioinformatics analysis found that these bacteria may be related to the regulation of inflammation in the brain. Compared with the blank group, the detection of inflammatory factors in the serum of IS model rats showed an increase in inflammatory factors IL-6 and IL-17A (P<0.01) and a decrease in the content of anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the content of inflammatory factors IL-6 and IL-17A in the serum of the treatment group decreased (P<0.05), and that of anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 increased (P<0.01). The expression results of barrier proteins ZO-1 and Occludin in brain and intestinal tissue showed that the expression levels of both decreased in IS model rats (P<0.05), while the expression levels of both increased in the treatment group (P<0.05). ConclusionAcute cerebral ischemia can lead to an imbalance of intestinal microbiota and damage to the intestinal barrier, and it can increase intestinal permeability. YQ can regulate intestinal microbiota imbalance caused by ischemia, inhibit systemic inflammatory response, and improve the disruption of the gut-blood brain barrier, preventing secondary cascade damage to brain tissue caused by inflammation. The MGBA may be an important mechanism against the IS.

Objective:To investigate genetic variation profiles of δ-globin (HBD gene) and hematological phenotypes in Guangdong population.Methods:Retrospective case analysis was performed in this study. Blood samples of 11 616 couples who participated in free thalassemia screening in Guangzhou from July 2020 to December 2022 were collected which underwent blood routine tests and hemoglobin (Hb) capillary electrophoresis. According to the results, 154 samples were enrolled in this study: (1)group of 35 cases with HbA 2 <2.0% but no HbF band; (2)group of 64 cases with HbA 2 < 2.0% and HbF band; (3)group of 25 cases with HbA 2 <2.0% and suspected HbA 2 variants; (4) group of 25 cases with HbA 2 ≥2.0% and <3.5% and HbF band, as well as abnormal blood routine report [mean corpuscular volume (MCV) <82 fl and/or mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) <27 pg]; (5)group of 5 cases with HbA 2 ≥2.0% and <3.0% accompanied with β thalassemia gene carriers Sanger sequencing was used to detect single nucleotide variants of δ-globin. Results:(1) A total of 22 genetic variations were detected, including 6 de novo variations, and the top 3 genetic variations were respectively c.-127T>C (57.02%, 65/114), c.-80T>C (9.65%, 11/114), c.349C>T (7.89%, 9/114). (2) In group of patients with HbA 2 <2.0% but no HbF band, 22 cases (62.85%, 22/35) had HBD gene variation, including 7 cases with MCV and MCH lower than reference values, 4 cases with α thalassemia; 13 cases had no HBD gene variation, including 12 cases with lower MCV and MCH. Among 19 cases with abnormal blood routine test results, levels of HbA 2 in patients (7 cases) with HBD gene variation were lower compared with those without HBD gene variation (12 cases) ( P<0.01%). (3)In group of patients with HbA 2<2.0% with HbF band, 59 cases (92.18%, 59/64) had HBD gene variations whose mutations all occurred in promoter region, and the HbF were all lower than 5.0%; 5 cases with HbF >5.0% had no HBD gene variation. (4) In group of patients with HbA 2 <2.0% and suspected HbA 2 variants, the detection rate was 100% (25/25) and δ-globin variants <1.0%. (5) In group of patients with HbA 2 ≥2.0% and <3.5% and HbF band accompanied with abnormal blood routine results, no HBD gene variation was found. (6) In group of 5 patients with HbA 2 ≥2.0% and <3.0% with β thalassemia gene carriers, HBD gene variation were found in all cases, and the level of HbA 2 was (2.62±0.17)% and HbF was (3.62±2.22)%. Conclusions:There are various genotypes of HBD gene variation, among which HBD: c.-127T>C is the most common in Guangdong population in China. Mutations in the promoter region may cause decrease in HbA 2 and increase in HbF which is mostly less than 5% but exceeds 5.0% when combined with β thalassemia. Our study enriched the gene mutation profiles of HBD gene in Guangdong population.

Discipline construction is the main focus of the high-quality development of public hospitals. The authors elaborated on the practice of Zhongshan Hospital(Xiamen), Fudan University, based on the " double-center" homogenization management, implementing the 123456 strategy of " integrated management and homogeneous development" in discipline construction. The hospital has promoted discipline construction from six aspects: building discipline cluster, promoting talent cultivation, building science and technology innovation platform, precise personnel classification, medical and education collaborative education, and information sharing and support. It has achieved new development goals of filling weak discipline gaps, transforming talent transfusion into hematopoietic, and integrating medical, educational, research and management innovation. However, it also encountered difficulties such as homogenization barrier of discipline construction, shortage of excellent talents, and limited brand influence of superior disciplines. The authors put forward suggestions from three dimensions: deepening homogeneous management, building talent echelon, and increasing publicity, in order to provide experience for the high-quality development of other hospitals.

Wuhutang is the 51st Chinese medicine prescription of Han ethnic group on in the catalogue of ancient classical prescriptions (the second batch) ,which originated from Renzhai' Straight Diections Prescriptions (《仁斋直指方》) by YANG Shiying in the Song dynasty,it is composed of 5 medicines, including Ephedrae Herba,Armeniacae Semen Amarum, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, tea and Gypsum Fibrosum. It treats shortness of breath and phlegm. Following the principle of textual research on the key information of ancient classical famous prescriptions, the author collected and recorded the ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine of Wuhutang with the method of Bibliometrics, and screened out 53 valid data, involving 41 ancient books. Based on the historical evolution, drug composition, main treatment of disease and syndrome, drug dosage, method of preparation and usage, drug origin and processing, the author conducted a dig and a systematic study of Wuhutang. The results show that:in the later generations, besides inheriting the original prescription, the composition of medicine was added or subtracted, and the frequency of addition of Mori Cortex was the most;in the treatment of disease and syndrome, most of them inherited the original prescription mainly treating asthma syndrome, also see in the treatment of asthma, cough and other lung disease, in the drug dosage and method of use , it is suggested to inherit the original prescription, the dosage of each medicine is: Ephedrae Herba 2.89 g, Armeniacae Semen Amarum 4.13 g, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma 1.65 g, tea 3.30 g, Gypsum Fibrosum 6.20 g, decoction, take warm clothes before eating;on the source of medcine,ephedra is made from the dried herbaceous stems of Ephedra sinica (Ephedraceae),bitter almond is made from the dried and mature seeds of Prunus armeniaca (Rosaceae),Licorice is made from the dried roots and rhizomes of Glycyrrhiza uralensis(Legumes), tea is made from the buds leaves of Camellia sinensis(Camellia),plaster is made from Gypsum Fibrosum of sulfate mineral gypsum family. At the same time, we collected and sorted the modern clinical application literature of Wuhutang, and obtained 73 effective literatures, all of which are for the treatment of respiratory system diseases, especially for children's pneumonia and asthma, and mostly belong to"phlegm-heat obstructing the lung syndrome". Through the analysis and study of ancient books and modern applied literature, the historical evolution and prescription evolution of Wuhutang are clarified, and its key information is determined, in order to provide more accurate reference for the research and development of the classic Wuhutang and the rational addition and subtraction of the application.

Objective:
To explore prevalence and associated factors of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in overweight and obese children in Hohhot City, so as to provide the oretical basis for developing health education plans and implementing prevention and treatment of NAFLD in children.
Methods:
A total of 156 overweight and obese children was enrolled from 4 primary schools in Hohhot City using cluster sampling method during 28th Aug. 2022 to 5th Mar. 2023. Height and weight were measured and body mass index was calculated, and fasting blood was taken in the early morning for fasting blood glucose, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase. Single factor analysis was conducted using ttest, χ2 test and Fishers exact probability method, while multivariate analysis was conducted using Logistic regression analysis and subject characteristic curves.
Results:
The differences in age, waist circumference, hip circumference, fasting glucose, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, gamma glutamyltransferase, uric acid, and triglyceride were statistically significant between the nonNAFLD and the NAFLD group (U/t=1 070.0-2 164.0, P<0.05). Significant differences were observed in aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and uric acid levels (AST OR=1.16, 95%CI=1.04-1.28; uric OR=1.01, 95%CI=1.00-1.01, P<0.05). The area under a receiver operating characteristic were 0.737 for aspartate aminotransferase and 0.665 for uric acid, respectively.
Conclusions
The prevalence of NAFLD is high in overweight/obese children in Hohhot, and both elevated aspartate aminotransferase and hyperuricemia could increase the risk of NAFLD in overweight/obese children. Special attention should be paid to the NAFLD in overweight and obese children. It is recommended to reduce both BMI and uric level in the prevention and treatment of NAFLD to achieve better treatment outcomes.
