This paper summarizes Professor WANG Xiuxia's clinical experience in treating hyperprolactinemia using the liver soothing therapy. Professor WANG identifies liver qi stagnation and rebellious chong qi （冲气） as the core pathomechanisms of hyperprolactinemia. Furthermore， liver qi stagnation may transform into fire or lead to pathological changes such as spleen deficiency with phlegm obstruction or kidney deficiency with essence depletion. The treatment strategy centers on soothing the liver， with a modified version of Qinggan Jieyu Decoction （清肝解郁汤） as the base formula. Depending on different syndrome patterns such as liver stagnation transforming into fire， liver stagnation with spleen deficiency， or liver stagnation with kidney deficiency， heat clearing， spleen strengthening， or kidney tonifying herbs are added accordingly. In addition， three paired herb combinations are commonly used for symptom specific treatment， Danggui （Angelica sinensis） with Chuanxiong （Ligusticum chuanxiong）， Zelan （Lycopus lucidus） with Yimucao （Leonurus japonicus） ， and Jiegeng （Platycodon grandiflorus） with Zisu （Perilla frutescens）.

Purpose To investigate the corr-elation between Rap1 GAP expression in colon cancer tissues and clinicopatho-logical features and prognosis.Methods Immunohistochemistry was used to detect Rap1 GAP protein expression in 125 cases of colon cancer,and its correlation with clinicopathological features and prognosis was analyzed.Rap1 GAP protein expression in co-lon cancer LOVO,HCT116,SW480 cells and normal colon epi-thelial HCoEPiC cells was detected by Western blot.The expres-sion of Rap1 GAP was down-regulated and up-regulated in LO-VO,HCT116 and SW480 cells by lentivirus transfection,and di-vided into no-load group(sh-NON,LV-NON),sh-Rap1 GAP group(low expression Rap1 GAP)and LV-Rap1 GAP group(overexpression Rap1 GAP)according to different treatments.The transfection efficiency was verified by Western blotting.MTT assay and Transwell assay were used to detect cell proliferation,invasion and migration in each group.Results In 125 colon cancer samples,83 cases(66.4％)had the loss of Rap1 GAP expression,which was higher than that in paracancer control(7.2％,P＜0.001).The rate of loss of Rap1 GAP expression was correlated with the degree of tumor differentiation(x2=6.152,P=0.011)and the presence of mucinous adenocarcino-ma(x2=4.908,P=0.028),but not with gender,age,tumor location,tumor stage,or lymph node metastasis(P＞0.05).Western blotting results showed that compared with HCoEPiC(0.189±0.081)cells,Rap1 GAP protein expression was in-creased in colon cancer LOVO(0.238±0.008)cells.Rap1 GAP protein expression was decreased in HCT116(0.064± 0.002)and SW480(0.152±0.026)cells(F=159.6,P＜0.05).After LOVO cells were transfected with Rap1 GAP low expression lentivirus,the expression level of Rap1 GAP in sh-Rap1 GAP-1 group(0.733±0.071)and sh-Rap1 GAP-2 group(0.559±0.136)and sh-Rap1 GAP-3 group(0.606±0.037)was significantly lower than that in LOVO group(1.880± 0.129)(F=49.57,P＜0.05).Compared with sh-NON(1.260±0.109)group,the proliferation ability of sh-Rap1 GAP-2(1.569±0.059)and sh-Rap1 GAP-3(1.548±0.087)cells was significantly increased at 72 h(F=28.36,P＜0.05).Its invasion and migration ability were significantly increased(P＜0.05).After HCT116 cells transfected with overexpression lentivirus,the expression of Rap1 GAP protein in LV-Rap1 GAP group(1.395±0.137)was relatively higher than that in LV-NON group(0.485±0.097)(P＜0.05).The results of MTT assay showed that compared with LV-NON(0.652±0.047)group,the proliferation ability of cells in LV-Rap1 GAP(1.212 ±0.038)group was decreased,and the invasion and migration ability were significantly decreased(P＜0.05).The transfection results,proliferation,invasion and migration of SW480 cells were consistent with those of HCT116 cells.Conclusion The loss rate of Rap1 GAP expression is related to the differentiation degree of colon cancer and whether it is accompanied by mucin-ous adenocarcinoma.The up-regulation of Rap1 GAP expression can inhibit the proliferation,invasion and migration of colon cancer cells,providing a theoretical basis for exploring the occur-rence and development of colon cancer.

Aim To explore the effect of quercetin(Que)on ferroptosis and the potential mechanisms in an Erastin-induced ferroptosis model in chondrocytes.Methods A model of Erastin-induced ferroptosis was established in C28/I2 chondrocytes.Cells were treated with different concentrations of Que.Cell viability and cytotoxicity were assessed by MTT and LDH assays.The expression levels of Prdx6 and ferroptosis-related proteins ACSL4 and GPX4 in chondrocytes were deter-mined by Western blot.Lipid ROS production in chon-drocytes was measured by flow cytometry,while the changes in mitochondrial membrane potential were de-tected by RH123 staining.Prdx6 mRNA expression in chondrocytes was quantified by RT-qPCR.The chan-ges in the expression of the ferroptosis-related proteins ACSL4 and GPX4 were detected by immunofluores-cence staining.Results Compared to the Erastin-in-duced ferroptosis model group,Que significantly im-proved the viability of C28/I2 chondrocytes and re-duced cell cytotoxicity.It decreased the expression of the ferroptosis-related protein ACSL4 and increased the expression of GPX4.Que also inhibited the production of lipid ROS in chondrocytes and strengthened their mitochondrial membrane potential.In addition,the ex-pression of Prdx6 was significantly reduced in the Eras-tin group compared to the control group,while Que treatment upregulated the expression of Prdx6.Mean-while,the inhibitory effect of Que on chondrocyte fer-roptosis was reduced by the use of MJ33,an inhibitor of Prdx6.Conclusion Que can inhibit Erastin-induced ferroptosis of C28/I2 chondrocytes,possibly by upregu-lating Prdx6,and thus play a protective role in chon-drocytes.

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.

Objective:To investigate the association of urinary cadmium levels with peripheral leukocyte classification counts among middle-aged and older adults aged 40 to 89 years in selected areas of China.Methods:The research was based on the survey of the impact of soil quality of agricultural land on human health in typical areas conducted in 2019-2020. A total of 5 600 middle-aged and older adults aged 40 to 89 years were included by using a multi-stage stratified random sampling method. Baseline characteristics of the subjects were collected and physical examinations were performed. Random midstream urine was collected to measure urinary cadmium and urinary creatinine and fasting venous blood was collected to measure the leukocyte count, neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, monocyte count and eosinophil count. The linear mixed effect model was used to analyse the association of urinary cadmium levels with leukocyte classification counts, and the dose-response relationship between them was analyzed by using the restricted cubic spline (RCS) function.Results:The age of the subjects was (63.17±12.02) years; 2 851 (50.91%) were males; and the M ( Q 1, Q 3) of urinary creatinine-corrected urinary cadmium levels was 2.69 (1.52, 4.69) μg/g·creatinine. After adjusting for confounding factors, the results of linear mixed effects model analysis showed that for each 1-unit increase in urinary creatinine-corrected urinary cadmium level, the percentage change [% (95% CI)] of leukocyte count and lymphocyte count was -1.70% (-2.61%, -0.79%) and -1.57% (-2.86%, -0.26%), respectively. RCS function showed a negative linear relationship between urinary creatinine-corrected urinary cadmium levels and leukocyte counts and lymphocyte counts, respectively (all Pnon-linear>0.05). Conclusion:Urinary cadmium levels are negatively associated with leukocyte count and lymphocyte count among middle-aged and older adults aged 40 to 89 years in selected areas of China.

The DNA characterization of Cannabis sativa L.has been one of the key directions of anti-drug research at home and abroad.Previous research mainly focused on the identification of cannabis-species and gender differentiation,and have constructed a number of corresponding composite amplification systems.With the rapid development of high-throughput sequencing technology,the whole genome of C.sativa and the sequences of key enzyme genes for its major physicochemical components have been sequenced successively,and intra-species differentiation studies of C.sativa based on specific molecular markers have gradually emerged.However,due to the high variability of cannabis subspecies-and variety-specific molecular markers,relevant foreign studies failed to provide ideal molecular marker support for the identification of intra-specific distinctions of Cannabis sativa in China.Based on this,this paper comprehensively analyzes the current situation and shortcomings of domestic and international research on intra-specific differentiation of C.sativa,and combines the previous research results of this group to elaborate on how to use high-throughput sequencing technology to solve the problem of the lack of intra-specific molecular markers of C.sativa in China.

Infection prevention and control in healthcare buildings is important in blocking the spread of infectious diseases.As the most common form of ventilation,natural ventilation can reduce the infection risk in healthcare workers,patients and visitors in healthcare buildings.This study summarizes the recommendations from the World Health Organization on natural ventilation in healthcare buildings during the epidemic period from severe acute re-spiratory syndrome(SARS)to coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)(2003-2022),the current situation of such issues in China,and the enlightenment from the recommendations.The recommendations proposed by the World Health Organization are relatively clear and specific,and worthy for reference learning for relevant management de-partments and research institutions in China.Some of these experiences can provide useful references for the future revision of Chinese standards or codes such as Technique standard for isolation in hospitals,Management specifi-cation of air cleaning technique in hospitals,Code for design of infectious diseases hospital and Code for design of general hospital.

Effective infection prevention and control measures can reduce the risk of infection in patients,health care workers,and visitors in healthcare buildings.Hand hygiene facilities,such as wash-hand basin and hand-rinse basin,play important roles in this.Based on a number of medical building guidelines issued by the UK Department of Health and Social Security,this paper analyzed the wash-hand basin and hand-rinse basin in medical buildings in the UK,and summarized similar problems in China.This paper clarified the differences between wash-hand basin and hand-rinse basin in the UK medical buildings,as well as classification of users,size and space requirements,classification and design requirements,and configuration requirements of wash-hand basin and hand-rinse basin.It also discussed the status of such problems in China as well as relevant experience and enlightenment from the UK.Some of the UK experience can provide reference for the future revision of Chinese standards such as Code for de-sign of infectious diseases hospital,Code for design of general hospital,Standard for hand hygiene for health-care workers in healthcare settings.

Objective To investigate the disease spectrum and pathogenic genes of inherited metabolic disorder(IMD)among neonates in Gansu Province of China.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the tandem mass spectrometry data of 286 682 neonates who received IMD screening in Gansu Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2018 to December 2021.A genetic analysis was conducted on the neonates with positive results in tandem mass spectrometry during primary screening and reexamination.Results A total of 23 types of IMD caused by 28 pathogenic genes were found in the 286 682 neonates,and the overall prevalence rate of IMD was 0.63‰(1/1 593),among which phenylketonuria showed the highest prevalence rate of 0.32‰(1/3 083),followed by methylmalonic acidemia(0.11‰,1/8 959)and tetrahydrobiopterin deficiency(0.06‰,1/15 927).In this study,166 variants were identified in the 28 pathogenic genes,with 13 novel variants found in 9 genes.According to American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics guidelines,5 novel variants were classified as pathogenic variants,7 were classified as likely pathogenic variants,and 1 was classified as the variant of uncertain significance.Conclusions This study enriches the database of pathogenic gene variants for IMD and provides basic data for establishing an accurate screening and diagnosis system for IMD in this region.

The transgender children and adolescents(TCAs)face serious social dilemmas in the process of gender identity and expression,which hinders this group from seeking reasonable and equal rights to survival and development.From the perspective of equal rights and the theoretical framework of social dilemma,by interviewing TCAs who seek help from medical social workers in a hospital's multi-disciplinary transgender clinic,this paper revealed that under the traditional system of"binary gender",TCAs lacked social inclusiveness and infrastructure,which led to the two major social dilemmas of"social traps"and"social barriers"encountered by this group in the process of gender expression and gender identity.Specifically,the social gender selection of TCAs often leads to collective irrational reactions and gender punishment,preventing their legal and effective medical services.To this end,the research team used critical methodology to construct a joint disciplinary diagnosis and treatment path for TCAs with the participation of medical social workers,as well as verified that the path has significant intervention effects in rationalizing the needs of TCAs and their families,alleviating their psychological pressure and social adaptation problems in the process of gender identity,fostering a diverse dialogue environment in their families,as well as enhancing their self-efficacy and social participation,to provide assistahce to the TCAs groups in social difficulties,assisting their rights and interests be included in the child-friendly indicator system,and improving the whole society's tolerance and understanding for TCAs group.
