Objective:To design a systematic emotion management training (EMT) targeted the characteristics of coping strategies based on rehabilitation assistant and explore the feasibility of online EMT in improving cognitive coping strategies, mental health, and social support of patients with coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods:From June 2021 to December 2022, a total of 106 CHD patients were screened from cardiovascular units of a hospital in Zhengzhou. All participants were divided into the intervention group ( n=53) and control group ( n=53) using the coin toss method. The patients in intervention group received 7 weeks emotion management training on the basis of routine health education, the patients in control group received 7 weeks routine health education. The scores of cognitive coping strategies, anxiety, depression, and social support were measured at baseline and post-intervention. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 24.0 software.The cognitive coping strategies, mental health and social support scores between two groups were compared using independent sample t-tests or paired t-test. Pearson analysis was used to examine the correlation between cognitive coping strategies, mental health and social support. Results:The scores of adaptive coping strategies, maladaptive coping strategies, depression, anxiety, insomnia and social support in patients with CHD were (69.52±7.60), (35.22±6.15), (8.82±2.66), (8.78±1.99), (10.97±2.86), and (57.48±9.79), respectively. After intervention, the scores of maladaptive coping strategies, self-blame, rumination, catastrophizing, blaming others, putting into perspective, insomnia, anxiety, and depression in the intervention group were significantly lower than those in the control group( t=-7.742, -4.395, -4.781, -6.105, -6.256, -5.327, -6.017, -7.288, -7.749, all P<0.05). The scores of adaptive coping strategies, positive reappraisal, refocusing on planning and social support were significantly higher than those of the control group( t=7.314, 6.733, 5.874, 3.562, all P<0.05). In the intervention group, there were statistically significant differences in cognitive coping strategies, anxiety, depression, insomnia and social support scores before and after the test(all P<0.05) and they were not statistically significantly different in the control group(all P>0.05). Correlation analysis showed that maladaptive coping strategies were positively correlated with depression and anxiety scores ( r=0.421, 0.408, both P<0.05). Adaptive coping strategies were negatively correlated with depression and insomnia scores ( r=-0.225, -0.240, both P<0.05), and positively correlated with social support ( r=0.219, P=0.034) among patients with CHD. Conclusion:The online EMT based on rehabilitation assistant may be a useful intervention for patients with CHD which can promote psychological health, social support as well as positively transforming maladaptive coping strategies into adaptive coping strategies.

Owing to complex surgical planning and procedures, orthognathic surgery requires surgeons to possess a high level of clinical expertise. However, traditional teaching methods are difficult to meet the requirements for complex training on orthognathic surgical planning and operation. Virtual reality (VR) technology provides a new solution, but it is limited by problems like imprecise modeling, complex surgical design, single-simulated surgical contents, inability to integrate real time and simulation, and a lack of automatic evaluation function. Artificial intelligence (AI) is potent in data mining and image processing, which can address the limitations of traditional VR teaching, bringing multiple potential for clinical and educational application in orthognathic surgery. With research in personalized model construction, intelligent diagnostics, post-operative prediction, virtual surgical simulation, and personalized feedback and guidance, the fusion of "VR plus AI" holds promise for advancing orthognathic surgical teaching in a more precise and efficient direction, promoting the integration of medicine and technology, and speeding up the transformation of clinical applications.

Based on ZHU Zhenheng's “six constraints” theory, it is proposed that the formation of pulmonary nodules is closely related to the six constraints, which are constraint of qi, blood, phlegm, fire, dampness and food. All six constraints might lead to pulmonary nodules, among which qi constraint is the dominant one. When qi constraint lasts for a long time, it will turn into fire constraint, resulting in the failure of spleen to transport, which may lead to phlegm constraint, dampness constraint and food constraint; when qi fails to move blood, blood constraint is formulated. Mutual generation of six constraints lead to the disease, and the pathogenesis is interrelated, jointly promoting the occurrence and development of pulmonary nodules. The treatment is mainly to unblock qi, usually using Yueju Pills (越鞠丸), a classic formula commonly used for six constraints, as the basic formula. And according to the six constraints partiality, it is suggested to flexibly add the medicinals of soothing the liver and rectifying qi, clearing heat and dissipating masses, dissolving phlegm and dissipating masses, fortifying spleen and dissipating dampness, promoting digestion and removing accumulation, invigorating blood and dissolving stasis.

Objective:
To explore the quality of life and mental health status of adolescents in Zhengzhou, and to compare with HongKong and Taiwan.
Methods:
A total of 6 401 students from 12 primary and secondary schools in Zhengzhou City. A total of 3 642 students from HongKong and 1 547 students from Taiwan were selected by cluster sampling. And Padiatric Quality of Life Inventory Version 4.0, Self-Esteem Scale, General Self-efficacy Scale, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale and self-made general situation questionnaire were used to conduct questionnaire survey.
Results:
The total score of quality of life and the scores of each dimension in Zhengzhou were significantly higher than those in HongKong, while self-esteem and anxiety were lower than those of Taiwan adolescents(P<0.05). In addition to self-esteem, anxiety and stress, the scores of quality of life and mental health of adolescents of different grades and genders in Zhengzhou were statistically different(t=13.53,20.71,10.92,20.26,14.68,-16.03,21.26;6.16,3.81,-2.22,-0.33,8.76,4.16,2.71,P<0.01). The quality of life of adolescents in HongKong and Taiwan in different grades and genders were basically the same as those in Zhengzhou, and the differences of depression and stress scores in grades were the same as those in Zhengzhou.
Conclusion
The overall quality of life and mental health of adolescents in Zhengzhou is better than that in Hong Kong and Taiwan. It is necessary to explore the relationship between the quality of life and mental health of adolescents in order to improve their quality of life.
