Background Bipolar disorder is a severe mental disorder characterized by cycling between mania/hypomania and depression,yet its underlying pathophysiological mechanism remains unclear.Several prior studies have suggested a potential role for voltage-gated calcium channel subunit genes in the etiology of bipolar disorder,particularly in their influence on brain structure.Objective To investigate the differences in grey matter volume(GMV)for individuals with bipolar disorder compared to healthy controls,and to explore the potential influence of calcium channel voltage-dependent T-type α1 G subunit(CACNA1G)rs757415 polymorphism on GMV in bipolar disorder and clarify the specific brain regions associated with this genetic variation,thus offering a new opportunity to gain insight into the pathophysiological mechanism of bipolar disorder.Methods A cohort of 289 patients who met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,fourth edition(DSM-IV)criteria for bipolar disorder were selected for participation.These patients were either admitted to hospital or examined in outpatient clinic for bipolar disorder at the Mental Health Center of West China Hospital,Sichuan University between September 2013 and December 2022.Another 322 healthy individuals were concurrently recruited as a control group from Sichuan University and surrounding communities.All participants underwent brain imaging using a 3.0 T magnetic resonance scanner to acquire data on GMV.Additionally,the presence of the CACNA1G rs757415 polymorphism was validated using the imLDRTM technique.Spearman correlation analysis was utilized to investigate potential relationship between abnormal brain regions identified through GMV data and clinical characteristics of the patients.Then the genotype-by-diagnosis interaction effect for CACNA1G rs757415 on GMV was observed using the full factor method.Results The study successfully enrolled 173 patients with bipolar disorder and 207 healthy controls who completed all the necessary procedures.Analyses revealed decreased GMV for patients with bipolar disorder compared to healthy controls in the left cerebellar declive extending to cerebellar anterior/posterior lobe,fusiform gyrus,parahippocampal gyrus and inferior occipital gyrus(t=5.664,P<0.05);in the right cerebellar anterior/posterior lobe,fusiform gyrus,parahippocampal gyrus extending to lingual gyrus(t=4.583,P<0.05);in the bilateral anterior cingulate/paracingulate gyri,superior frontal gyrus and precuneus(t=7.543,P<0.05);in the left lingual gyrus and superior temporal gyrus(t=6.593,P<0.05);and in the right insula entending to central operculum(t=7.153,P<0.05).Correlation analysis indicated that the duration of bipolar disorder was positively correlated with cerebrospinal fluid volume(r=0.258,P=0.003),whereas negatively correlated with the GMV in the left cerebellar declive extending to cerebellar anterior/posterior lobe,inferior occipital gyrus and parahippocampal gyrus(r=-0.204,P=0.019),in the right cerebellar anterior lobe extending to right cerebellar posterior lobe,fusiform gyrus,parahippocampal gyrus and lingual gyrus(r=-0.238,P=0.006),in the bilateral superior frontal gyrus extending to anterior cingulate/paracingulate gyri and precuneus(r=-0.219,P=0.012),in the left lingual gyrus extending to superior temporal gyrus(r=-0.296,P=0.001),and in the right insula extending to central operculum(r=-0.257,P=0.003).A significant genotype-by-diagnosis interaction effect for CACNA1G rs757415 on GMV was observed in the right parahippocampal gyrus-fusiform gyrus-cerebellum 4-5(F=19.967,P<0.05).In the control group,individuals carrying the non-risk allele showed increased GMV in the right parahippocampal gyrus-fusiform gyrus-cerebellum 4-5 compared to those carrying the risk allele.In contrast,within the patient group,risk allele carriers exhibited increased GMV in the same brain regions when compared to non-risk allele carriers.Moreover,the GMV in the right parahippocampal gyrus-fusiform gyrus-cerebellum 4-5 of patients with bipolar disorder carrying risk alleles was increased compared to healthy controls.Conclusion CACNA1G rs757415 polymorphism may affect the GMV in the right parahippocampal gyrus,fusiform gyrus and cerebellum 4/5 of patients with bipolar disorder.

Cardiometabolic disease is a clinical syndrome with a causal relationship between metabolic abnormalities and cardiovascular damage. With its global incidence and related mortality rates continually rising， it has become a major health concern worldwide. The role of the gut microbiome and its metabolic products in cardiovascular metabolic health has received widespread attention， with gut microbiota dysbiosis considered a key factor in promoting the development of cardiometabolic disease. Dysbiosis disrupts the balance of the "heart-spleen-intestine" axis， leading to dysfunction of the spleen and intestines， which triggers metabolic disorders and accelerates the progression of cardiometabolic disease. Cardiac dysfunction can also negatively affect spleen and intestinal function， leading to imbalances in the heart and spleen， disharmony in Qi and blood， and exacerbating metabolic anomalies and further dysbiosis， thus forming a vicious cycle. From a modern biological perspective， the gut microbiome and its metabolic products can influence disease progression by modulating inflammatory responses and immune imbalances， leading to endothelial dysfunction and metabolic disorders， thereby increasing the risk of cardiometabolic disease. Additionally， the article proposes strategies for managing cardiometabolic disease by regulating the gut microbiome through a combination of Chinese and western medicine approaches. Traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） treatment starts from the gut microbiome， using the "heart-spleen-intestine" axis as a mediator to regulate cardiovascular metabolic health， highlighting the unique advantages of TCM in targeting the gut microbiome to treat cardiometabolic disease. This article takes the TCM theory of the "heart-spleen-intestine" axis as a starting point， discusses the pivotal role played by this axis in the connection between gut microbiome dysbiosis and the development of cardiometabolic disease， aiming to provide a new perspective for the integrated traditional Chinese and western medical research on cardiometabolic disease， offering scientific evidence and practical guidance to improve the prognosis and quality of life for patients.

Objective To explore the influence of different bone quality around the implant on the implantation accuracy,the com-puter-aided design of implant guide plate was used for patients with poor bone quality to evaluate its accuracy.Methods Retrospective analysis of relevant clinical data from 29 single-tooth implant patients with relatively poor bone quality meeting inclusion criteria was conducted.Using 3Shape Implant Studio software,implant plans were designed and fully guided digital templates were fabricated before surgery.Implantation was guided by the templates throughout,with torque and ISQ values recorded to evaluate the initial stability of the implant.Postoperative implant positions were reconstructed using CBCT images,and the three-dimensional deviation of implant place-ment was evaluated in conjunction with the preoperative design.Bone quality around the implants was also recorded and analyzed before and after surgery.Results In this study,digital guide plates were used in patients with poor bone quality,and the initial stability of implants was≥20 N·cm except for three cases.In cases of poor bone quality,the accuracy of the fully guided digital templates was as follows:cervix deviation(0.94±0.59)mm,apex deviation(1.40±0.81)mm and angle deviation 4.10°±2.99°.Bone quality had a greater impact on angle deviation(P＜0.05).The higher the proportion of D3 bone was around the implant body 1/3,the smaller the deviation of neck,apex and angle was,while the higher the proportion of D5 bone,the greater the deviation of implantation.Conclu-sion For patients with poor bone quality,under the premise of restoration-oriented,the proportion of D3 bone around the implant can be increased by computer-aided design,and the initial stability of the implant can be improved by guiding the implantation with digital guide plate.Attention should be paid to the influence of bone on the angle deviation of implant during the application of guide plate.

Vaccination is an effective public health measure to prevent and control vaccine-preventable diseases for individual and society. However, China currently confronts significant challenges, including a dearth of skilled professionals in the field of vaccination and disparities in the capacity for immunization services. This review introduced the experiences of four prime international vaccinology education models, including London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, Johns Hopkins University, Leading International Vaccinology Education, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, in the aspect of personnel development, academic research and communication platforms establishment. It is supposed to give some insights and feasible suggestions on the establishment and advancement of vaccinology as a sub-discipline within high-level public health school in China, with the aim of development of a robust vaccinology education framework in China, which is essential for nurturing the next generation of public health leaders and practitioners for our country.

Objective:To analyze the influence of midwifeled accompanyon the psychological status and delivery outcomes of gestational diabetes patients, and to provide reference for the implementation of clinical intervention programs for gestational diabetes patients.Methods:A semi-randomized controlled trial was adopted.Convenience sampling method was used to select 120 gestational diabetes patients admitted to Langfang People′s Hospital from March 2021 to September 2023, and they were divided into control group and experimental group according to the admission order. Both groups were given intraspinal delivery analgesia, while the control group was combined with routine midwifery management, and the experimental group was combined with a midwife led accompany. Intervention lasted until 2 h postpartum in both groups, and follow-up for 1 month. The delivery indicators, psychological status, delivery outcome and satisfaction of the two groups were compared.Results:Finally, 120 gestational diabetes patients were included, 60 patients in the control group, aged (28.73 ± 2.79) years, and 60 patients in the experimental group, aged (27.98 ± 1.09) years. The first and second stages of labor in the experimental group were (416.35 ± 29.87) and (60.95 ± 7.44) min, respectively, which were shorter than (501.33 ± 37.59) and (80.28 ± 8.95) min in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( t = 13.71, 12.87, both P<0.05). The blood glucose during delivery and 2 h postpartum hemorrhage was (6.81 ± 0.10) mmol/L and (236.18 ± 37.58) ml, respectively, lower than (7.48 ± 0.45) mmol/L and (325.70 ± 59.88) ml in the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( t = 11.26, 9.81, both P<0.05). After 1 month of follow-up, the scores of Self-rating Anxiety Scale and Self-rating Depression Scale of the experimental group were (30.86 ± 2.55) and (21.45 ± 2.67) points, which were lower than (42.19 ± 3.86) and (42.97 ± 3.15) points in the control group, and the scores of Psychological Resilience Scale were (71.22 ± 6.54) points, which was higher than that of the control group (55.38 ± 6.06) points, the differences were statistically significant ( t = 18.97, 40.37, 13.76, all P<0.05). After intervention, the incidence rates of lateral resection and postpartum hemorrhage in the experimental group were 28.3%(17/60) and 5.0%(3/60), respectively, lower than 48.3%(29/60) and 18.3%(11/60) in the control group, and the total satisfaction rate of the experimental group was 93.3%(56/60), higher than 80.0% (48/60) of the control group. The differences were statistically significant ( χ2 = 5.08, 5.18, 4.62, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The midwife led accompany could shorten the labor process of gestational diabetes patients, reduce their blood glucose during delivery and the amount of blood 2 h postpartum, and improve their psychological status and delivery outcomes, which was conducive to improving patient satisfaction.
