Promoting the construction of a “Healthy China” is essential to building a great modern socialist country. Health workers in every era have their historical missions and they are the “benevolent doctors” of their own era. Therefore, clarifying the basic connotation and times requirements of “benevolent doctors” has become the first question to be answered in cultivating “benevolent doctors”. The basic connotation of “benevolent doctor” should reflect not only the comprehensive development of moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor education in fostering virtue and nurturing talents, but also embody the people-centered development philosophy, promote social equity and justice, and reflect the strategic needs of building a “Healthy China.” Specifically in the practice of medical education, emphasizing both medical science spirit and medical humanities spirit has become an important path to cultivate “benevolent doctors” in the new era.

This article systematically analyzes the historical evolution of the name, origin, producing area, quality evaluation, harvesting and processing, clinical efficacy of Pyrrosiae Folium by consulting the ancient materia medica, medical books and prescription books, combined with modern literature, in order to provide a reference for the development of famous classical formulas containing this herb. After herbal textual research, it was found that the names of Pyrrosiae Folium in the past dynasties were mostly derived from its color, shape and efficacy. And there were other nicknames such as Shizhe, Shipi and Shilan. Song, Yuan dynasties and before the period, the main origin of Pyrrosiae Folium was Pyrrosia petiolosa, in the Ming dynasty, the main origins were P. petiolosa and P. sheareri, during the Qing dynasty to the present, the main origins were P. sheareri, P. petiolosa and P. lingua. Anciently, the respected Dao-di production area of Pyrrosiae Folium was the area of Lianyungang city, Jiangsu province. In modern times, Anhui and Zhejiang provinces are the main producing areas of P. sheareri, Fujian and Taiwan provinces are the main producing areas of P. lingua, and Guizhou and Hubei provinces are the main producing areas of P. petiolosa. In ancient and modern times, Pyrrosiae Folium with large leaves and thick texture is considered to be the best, the medicinal part is the leaves, and the harvesting and processing methods recorded in the past dynasties were mainly shade-drying after harvesting in the February and July of the lunar calendar, while the modern ones are mostly harvested throughout the year. The processing methods of the past dynasties mainly included removing fuzz by scraping, lightly roasted, frying, fat-fried. However, in modern times, it is mostly used the raw products as a medicine after cleaning, cutting and drying. In ancient times, Pyrrosiae Folium was thought to have a neutral nature with slightly sweet and bitter taste, while in modern times, it is thought to have a slightly cold nature with slightly sweet and bitter taste, and the main effects in ancient and modern times are diuretic, clearing lung-heat, hemostasis and so on. Based on the research results, it is suggested that P. sheareri, P. petiolosa and P. lingua can be used as the medicinal base, processing method can be according to the requirements of formulas, and if the processing requirements are not indicated, the raw products can be selected as the medicine.

In this paper, the name, origin, medicinal parts, producing area, harvesting, processing methods and efficacy of Equiseti Hiemalis Herba(EHH) in famous classical formulas were examined by reviewing related ancient and modern literature. Through textual research, Muzei was first appeared in Zhenyuan Guanglifang(《贞元广利方》), and used as a mainstream name by later generations. It is also known by other names, such as Cuocao and Bigancao. The main origin of ancient EHH was Equisetum hyemale, which was mixed with E. ramosissimum during the Qing dynasty. The medicinal part was the above-ground part of EHH. In ancient times, the genuine producing area was considered to be Qinzhou, which is now Tianshui city, Gansu. In modern times, EHH produced in Liaoning province is believed to be of higher quality. Currently, the main producing area of EHH circulating in the market is the northeast region in China. EHH with stems that are thick and long, a green color, a thick texture, and clearly visible edges and roughness, but without any easily separating joints being considered the best. The processing methods of the past dynasties mainly included filing, removing knots, stir-baked the crude drugs into black on outside and brown in inside, urine soaking, sun drying and shade drying. In modern times, the main processing method is to first moisturize the plant material, and then cut it into sections before drying. In terms of medicinal properties, EHH is considered by both ancient and modern medicine to have a neutral nature, a slightly sweet and bitter taste, and is non-toxic. Its primary therapeutic effects are related to treating eye diseases, intestinal wind bleeding and uterine bleeding. Based on the research, it is suggested that the dried above-ground part of E. hiemale be used in the development and utilization of famous classical formulas. For the processing requirements are not indicated, it is suggested using raw decoction pieces as medicine, and the processing method refers to the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia. If it is clearly stated that fried charcoal is required, it is recommended to refer to general requirements 0213 of the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia, if it is clearly stated that removing knots is required, it is recommended to follow the ancient method.

Objective:To understand the current status of gastroscopy in diagnosing gastric lesions in general population, and to recommend the optimal age for the first gastroscopy and intervals for repeated gastroscopy.Methods:The gastroscopy records of residents aged 18-80 years in Yinzhou District of Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, between April 2010 and December 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. The detections of gastric lesions across different years, age and genders were described. Goodness of fit tests were applied to compare the differences in detection rates of different lesions in first-time endoscopy in different age groups and different populations. Generalized additive models were used to fit the trend of age specific gastric lesion detection rate explore the optimal age for gastroscopy. The appropriate gastroscopy intervals were determined according to the progress of the gastric lesions detected in repeated gastroscopy.Results:A total of 237 751 participants with 344 398 gastroscopy records were included in analyses. A total of 5 597 cases of chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG), 9 796 cases of intestinal metaplasia (IM), 165 cases of low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (LGIN), 52 cases of high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HGIN) and 435 cases of gastric cancer were detected by the first gastroscopy. The overall detection rate of gastric lesions increased significantly in age group 45-70 years, and remained stable after 70 years old, with LGIN and HGIN showing notable increases at 50 and 55 years old, respectively. Repeated gastroscopy detected CAG, IM, LGIN, and HGIN at a higher rate compared with the first gastroscopy. Normal/superficial gastritis progressed in 3-5 years, whereas CAG or more severe lesions progressed in 1-6 years.Conclusion:Gastroscopy is recommended for general population aged 45 years and above. Furthermore, gastroscopy can be performed every 3-5 years for individuals with normal endoscopy results and once a year for patients with CAG or more severe gastric lesions.

Multiple primary lung cancer(MPLC)refers to patients with two or more primary lesions of lung cancer.It can be divided into synchronous MPLC(sMPLC)and metachronous MPLC(mMPLC)based on the timing of occurrence.In recent years,the detection rate of MPLC has gradually increased.However,considerable controversy exists in distinguishing MPLC from intrapulmonary metastasis(IM),especially when the histopathological types are identical.Given the significant differences in treatment strategies and prognosis in clinical practice currently,accurate diagnosis of MPLC is cru-cial for personalized precision therapy.Molecular genetics and sequencing technologies offer effective strategies for assessing the clonal origin of tumors.There have been reports of coexisting mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)and anaplastic lymphoma kinase(ALK)fusion genes in non-small cell lung cancer,but case of EGFR mutation following an ALK mutation has not been mentioned.This article accurately diagnoses and retrospectively analyzes the clinical data of a case of ALK mutant adenocarcinoma in a male patient who developed an EGFR mutation with multiple metastases four years after surgery,and reviews the relevant literature.This paper aims to deepen the understanding of mMPLC and provide clinical refer-ences for the diagnosis and treatment of such patients.

Objective:
To investigate the factors influencing the development of gastric cancer in Chinese populations, so as provide insights into creating a model for predicting gastric cancer incidence among Chinese populations.
Methods:
The case-control and cohort studies pertaining to factors affecting the development of gastric cancer were retrieved in electronic Chinese and English databases, including CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, PubMed, Web of Science and Embase from their inception until September 30, 2021. A meta-analysis was performed using R package version 4.1.0. Sensitivity analysis was performed using the “leave-one-out” evaluation procedure, and the publication bias was evaluated using the Egger regression test and the trim-and-fill procedure.
Results:
A total of 5 301 publications were screened and 116 eligible studies were included in the final analysis, including 103 case-control studies and 13 cohort studies, which covered approximately 3.23 million study subjects. A total of 45 factors affecting the development of gastric cancer were collected, and there were less than 4 publications reporting 7 factors, which were only qualitatively described. There were 38 factors included in the final meta-analysis. A total of 21 factors were identified as risk factors of gastric cancer, including a history of gastrointestinal diseases (pooled OR=4.85, 95%CI: 3.74-6.29), H. pylori infection (pooled OR=3.18, 95%CI: 2.35-4.32), binge eating and drinking (pooled OR=2.88, 95%CI: 2.09-3.97) and a family history of tumors (pooled OR=2.78, 95%CI: 2.17-3.56), and 10 factors as protective factors, including vegetable intake (pooled OR=0.48, 95%CI: 0.38-0.61), tea consumption (pooled OR=0.55, 95%CI: 0.47-0.64), administration of aspirin (pooled OR=0.53, 95%CI: 0.31-0.92) and administration of statins (pooled OR=0.59, 95%CI: 0.44-0.80). Sensitivity analyses of eating moldy food frequently, white meat intake, favoring spicy food and administration of sulfonylureas were not robust. Following correction with the trim-and-fill procedure, there was still a publication bias pertaining to high income, diabetes, administration of stains, alcohol consumption, tea consumption and white meat intake.
Conclusions
The development of gastric cancer is associated with a medical history of gastrointestinal disease, H. pylori infection, family history of tumors and poor dietary habits. Risk and protective factors of gastric cancer are recommended to be included in models used to predict gastric cancer incidence among Chinese populations.
