Objective: To explore the mechanism by which icariin alleviates viral myocarditis. Methods: CVB3-induced cardiomyocytes were used as an in vitro model of viral myocarditis to assess the effects of icariin treatment on cell viability, inflammation, and apoptosis. Moreover, the effects of icariin on ferroptosis and TLR4 signaling were assessed. After AC16 cells were transfected with TLR4 overexpression plasmids, the role of TLR4 in mediating the regulatory effect of icariin in viral myocarditis was investigated. Results: Icariin significantly elevated cell viability and reduced inflammatory factors TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-18. Flow cytometry revealed that icariin decreased apoptosis rate, and the protein expression of Bax and cleaved caspase 3 and 9 in CVB3-induced cardiomyocytes. Additionally, it suppressed ferroptosis including lipid peroxidation and ferrous ion, as well as the TLR4 signaling. However, TLR4 overexpression abrogated the modulatory effects of icariin. Conclusions: Icariin mitigates CVB3-induced myocardial injury by inhibiting TLR4-mediated ferroptosis. Further animal study is needed to verify its efficacy.

In the field of dental aesthetics,digital aesthetic design plays a crucial role in helping dentists to predict treatment outcomes vis-ually,as well as in enhancing the consistency of knowledge and understanding of aesthetic goals between dentists and patients.It serves as the foundation for achieving ideal aesthetic effects.However,there is no clear standard for this digital process currently in China and abroad.Many dentists lack of systematic understanding of how to carry out digital aesthetic design for treatment.To establish standardized processes for dental aesthetic design and to improve the homogeneity of treatment outcomes,Chinese Society of Digital Dental Industry(CSD-DI)convened domestic experts in related field to compile this consensus.This article elaborates on the key aspects of digital aesthetic data collection,integration steps,and the digital aesthetic design process.It also formulates a decision tree for dental aesthetics at macro level and outlines corresponding workflows for various clinical scenarios,serving as a reference for clinicians.

Objective:Osteosarcoma is a highly aggressive primary malignant bone tumor commonly seen in children and adolescents,with a poor prognosis.Anchorage-dependent cell death(anoikis)has been proven to be indispensable in tumor metastasis,regulating the migration and adhesion of tumor cells at the primary site.However,as a type of programmed cell death,anoikis is rarely studied in osteosarcoma,especially in the tumor immune microenvironment.This study aims to clarify prognostic value of anoikis and tumor immune microenvironment-related gene in the treatment of osteosarcoma. Methods:Anoikis-related genes(ANRGs)were obtained from GeneCards.Clinical information and ANRGs expression profiles of osteosarcoma patients were sourced from the therapeutically applicable research to generate effective therapies and Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)databases.ANRGs highly associated with tumor immune microenvironment were identified by the estimate package and the weighted gene coexpression network analysis(WGCNA)algorithm.Machine learning algorithms were performed to construct long-term survival predictive strategy,each sample was divided into high-risk and low-risk subgroups,which was further verified in the GEO cohort.Finally,based on single-cell RNA-seq from the GEO database,analysis was done on the function of signature genes in the osteosarcoma tumor microenvironment. Results:A total of 51 hub ANRGs closely associated with the tumor microenvironment were identified,from which 3 genes(MERTK,BNIP3,S100A8)were selected to construct the prognostic model.Significant differences in immune cell activation and immune-related signaling pathways were observed between the high-risk and low-risk groups based on tumor microenvironment analysis(all P<0.05).Additionally,characteristic genes within the osteosarcoma microenvironment were identified in regulation of intercellular crosstalk through the GAS6-MERTK signaling pathway. Conclusion:The prognostic model based on ANRGs and tumor microenvironment demonstrate good predictive power and provide more personalized treatment options for patients with osteosarcoma.

Objective To understand the prevalence characteristics of influenza and changes of influenza virus strains,and provide reference for the prevention and control of influenza in the province.Methods Surveillance da-ta about influenza in Hunan Province from 2014 to 2023 were exported from China Influenza Surveillance Informa-tion System.Differences in the percentage of influenza-like illness(ILI)cases(percentage of influenza-like cases[ILI％]in outpatient and emergency department visits)among different years and different populations,as well as the positive rate of influenza virus in ILI specimens were compared.Results From 2014 to 2023,over 2.65 million cases of ILI were reported,with an ILI％of 4.70％.ILI％among different years presented statistically significant differences(P＜0.001).People aged 0-14 years old were the main population with ILI,accounting for 82.90％.The positive rate of influenza virus in ILI specimens was 14.14％,the positive rate of influenza virus among diffe-rent years and age groups were both significantly different(both P＜0.001).The main prevalent influenza strains from 2014 to 2023 included types A(H1N1),A(H3N2),B(Victoria),and B(Yamagata),alternating among di-fferent years.However,type B(Yamagata)strains were not detected from 2020 to 2023.There were basically two influenza prevalence seasons every year,namely winter-spring and summer.Conclusion People＜15 years old are the main population of influenza,and the prevalence peaks are in winter-spring and summer.From 2021 to 2023,the prevalence alternates mainly among 3 types:A(H1N1),A(H3N2),and B(Victoria).

Objective To study the expression of long noncoding RNA Homeobox D gene cluster antisense growth-associated long noncoding RNA(lncRNA HAGLR)and its downstream target genes in osteoporosis(OP)-tibial fracture(TF)rats,and to explore the effect and mechanism of lncRNA HAGLR on osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs).Methods A total of 30 SD female rats were randomly divided into the sham group,the OP group and the OP-TF group,with 10 rats in each group.Serum alkaline phosphatase(ALP)and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase(TRAP)levels of rats were detected by ELISA.Rats MSC cell line R7500 was induced by osteogenic differentiation induction medium and divided into the MSC group and the Osteogenic-MSC group.R7500 was individually transfected with pcDNA-HAGLR,pcDNA-NC,miR-19a-3p mimic,mimic negative control(NC mimic),miR-19a-3p inhibitor and negative control of miR-19a-3p inhibitor(NC inhibitor),and divided into corresponding groups.The dual luciferase gene report experiment was used to verify the targeting relationship between lncRNA HAGLR and miR-19a-3p and bone morphogenetic protein 2(BMP2)and miR-19a-3p.The expressions of lncRNA HAGLR and miR-19a-3p in each group were detected by qRT-PCR.The expressions of BMP2,ALP,collagen Ⅰ(COL-Ⅰ),osteocalcin(OCN),and osteopontin(OPN)were detected by Western blot.ALP staining and AR staining were used to detect the osteogenic differentiation ability of MSC.Results The serum ALP and TRAP levels in the OP group and the OP-TF group were higher than those in the sham group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the expression levels of lncRNA HAGLR,miR-19a-3p or BMP2 of tibia tissue between the OP group and the sham group(P>0.05),while the expression levels of lncRNA HAGLR and BMP2 of tibia tissue in the OP-TF group were significantly lower than those in the sham group and the OP group(P<0.05),the expression level of miR-19a-3p of tibia tissue in the OP-TF group was higher than those in the sham group and the OP group(P<0.05).Compared with the MSC group,the expression level of lncRNA HAGLR in the Osteogenic-MSC group was significantly increased(P<0.05),while the expression of miR-19a-3p was decreased(P<0.05).The dual luciferase gene report experiment verified that lncRNA HAGLR has a targeting relationship with miR-19a-3p,and miR-19a-3p has a targeting relationship with BMP2.The expression level of miR-19a-3p in the pcDNA-HAGLR group was lower than that in the pcDNA-NC group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the expression level of lncRNA HAGLR between the miR-19a-3p mimic group and the NC mimic group(P>0.05).Compared with the NC mimic group,the expression level of BMP2 protein in the miR-19a-3p mimic group was decreased(P<0.05),while the expression level of miR-19a-3p was increased(P<0.05).The cells in the pcDNA-HAGLR group had stronger osteogenic differentiation ability and higher ALP activity than those in the pcDNA-NC group(P<0.05).The cells in the miR-19a-3p inhibitor group had stronger osteogenic differentiation ability and higher ALP activity than those in the NC inhibitor group(P<0.05).Conclusion The expression of lncRNA HAGLR and BMP2 is decreased and the expression of miR-19a-3p is increased in rats with tibial fracture.Overexpression of lncRNA HAGLR promotes osteogenic differentiation of rat MSCs by targeting the miR-19a-3p/BMP2 axis.

Objective:To explore the differential impact of the alignment between service capability and job satisfaction on job performance among primary general practitioner,and to provide a reference for enhancing their job performance.Methods:A survey was conducted with 620 primary general practitioner using questionnaires.The relationships among service capability,job satisfaction,and job performance were analyzed using polynomial regression and response surface analysis methods.Results:Under the condition of"service capability—job satisfaction alignment,"compared to the scenario of"low service capability—low job satisfaction,"primary general practitioner with"high service capability—high job satisfaction"demonstrated significantly higher job performance(a1=0.875,P＜0.001;a2=-0.068,P＞0.05).In the misalignment condition,compared to"low service capability—high job satisfaction,"those with"high service capability—low job satisfaction"also showed higher job performance(a3=0.265,P＜0.001;a4=-0.064,P＞0.05).Conclusion:Both service capability and job satisfaction significantly influence job performance among primary general practitioner,with service capability being a key factor for achieving high work performance.It is essential to enhance the service capability of primary general practitioner and adopt multiple strategies to improve job satisfaction,thereby effectively boosting work performance.

Objective:To compare the difference between the Evidence Quality Grading System for Public Health Decision-making(PHE-Grading)and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment,Development and Evaluation(GRADE)System in evaluating the quality of evidence for public health decision-making.Methods:Systematic reviews about topic"Public health"were electronically searched in the Cochrane Library database from inception to February 27,2024.EndNote 20 software was used for literature screening,Excel 2021 and SPSS 22.0 software were used for data collation and analysis,and the forest plot was drawn by RevMan 5.4.1 software.Results:A total of 61 systematic reviews were finally included for evidence quality evaluation.The forest plot of GRADE and PHE-Grading evidence grading results showed that high grade[OR:2.39,95%CI(1.21 to 4.75)],moderate grade[OR:0.40,95%CI(0.31 to 0.52)],low grade[OR:0.37,95%CI(0.29 to 0.46)],and extremely low grade[OR:85.11,95%CI(34.80 to 208.11)],and the differences in evidence quality grading results between the two systems were statistically significant.Conclusions:Compared with GRADE,PHE-Grading may be more accurate in grasping the certainty of public health decision-making evidence.Currently,the quality of public health decision-making evidence is still concentrated in low and middle level,and high-quality research still needs to be strengthened to support scientific decision-making.

Hip fracture in the elderly is characterized by high incidence, high disability rate, and high mortality and has been recognized as a public health issue threatening their health. Surgery is the preferred choice for the treatment of elderly patients with hip fracture. However, lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) has an extremely high incidence rate during the perioperative period, and may significantly increase the risk of patients′ death once it progresses to pulmonary embolism. In response to this issue, the clinical guidelines and expert consensuses all emphasize active application of comprehensive preventive measures, including basic prevention, physical prevention, and pharmacological prevention. In this prevention system, basic prevention is the basis of physical and pharmacological prevention. However,there is a lack of unified and definite recommendations for basic preventive measures in clinical practice. To this end, the Orthopedic Nursing Professional Committee of the Chinese Nursing Association and Nursing Department of the Orthopedic Branch of the China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care organized relevant nursing experts to formulate Expert consensus on perioperative basic prevention for lower extremity deep venous thrombosis in elderly patients with hip fracture ( version 2024) . A total of 10 recommendations were proposed, aiming to standardize the basic preventive measures for lower extremity DVT in elderly patients with hip fractures during the perioperative period and promote their subsequent rehabilitation.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.
