		                        			Under the background of the Healthy China strategy, the integration of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) into the public health emergency response system has become an important measure to enhance the capacity for coping with public health emergencies. In recent years, the role of TCM in responding to such emergencies has become increasingly prominent. Taking major emerging epidemics as an example, TCM has developed a rich theoretical system and practical experience in epidemic prevention and treatment over thousands of years, and has played a significant role in successive outbreaks with its unique advantages. Based on the concept of ''preventing disease before its onset'' and the theoretical framework of treatment based on syndrome differentiation, TCM has achieved remarkable results through early intervention and full participation in the integrated model of TCM and Western medicine, from severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) to corona virus disease-2019 (COVID-19), in improving clinical symptoms and outcomes, reducing adverse reactions, and promoting recovery. From the perspective of the Healthy China strategy, this paper systematically reviews the historical development of TCM in epidemic prevention and treatment, with particular attention to recent epidemics such as SARS, influenza A (H1N1), and COVID-19. It further examines the similarities and differences between TCM and Western medicine in responding to major emerging epidemics, as well as relevant policies related to TCM in epidemic prevention and control. In addition, it summarizes the existing problems in TCM's role in the prevention and treatment of major emerging epidemics, and explores measures to improve its rapid response capacity under the Healthy China strategy. This study not only provides a ''Chinese solution'' for the prevention and control of newly emerging infectious diseases worldwide, but also offers theoretical and practical references for strengthening the public health emergency response system, carrying strategic significance for promoting the modernization and internationalization of TCM.

		                        			The mutual learning between Chinese and Western civilizations today provides a broad perspective and new opportunity for the development of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), fostering the interdisciplinary integration, fusion, and innovation of the discipline. The premise of mutual understanding of civilizations is uphold the principles of Chinese traditional scholarship and original thinking, overcome academic barriers and cognitive differences, and achieve the organic integration of knowledge systems and research methods. The development of TCM as a discipline should first be based on literature as a carrier to convey ideas and ensure the continuity of the academic tradition. Secondly, the discipline development should be guided by the unique, original thinking of TCM, accurately identifying the bottlenecks in its development, focusing on the key links for improvement, continuously exploring innovative academic paths, and striving to build a leading research platform. Finally, the cultivation of talents in the field of TCM discipline should focus on leading ones with international academic discourse power and influence, and establish an academic team with clinical thinking and interdisciplinary knowledge structure.

		                        			This article summarizes Academician WANG Yongyan′s experience in the differentiation and treatment of motor neuron disease, which can be categorized into flaccidity syndrome, convulsive syndrome, and fei syndrome according to the clinical manifestations. These three syndromes may coexist, and the condition progressively worsens over time, which is believed to be caused by external pathogenic qi, based on "deficient-qi induced stagnation" , and with "toxins damaging collaterals" as the core etiology and pathogenesis. "Toxins damaging collaterals" involves three levels of qi collaterals, blood collaterals, and fluid collaterals, gradually overlapping and affecting the marrow collaterals. Academician WANG Yongyan′s theory is based on syndrome differentiation, breaking down the boundaries of flaccidity, convulsive, and fei syndromes according to different manifestations of the disease, and using the concept of "combined treatment" for treatment. The clinical presentation of motor neuron disease shows a bottom-up trend in the development of the sanjiao, and the combination of visceral syndrome differentiation and sanjiao syndrome differentiation can grasp the progress of the disease comprehensively. During the process of syndrome differentiation, the focus is on the use of xiang thinking, emphasizing the holistic correlation between diseases and syndromes and the integrated effect of reductionist analysis. Treatment is based on xiang differentiation and individualized treatment. The mid-stage of motor neuron disease is the key time point for the treatment of this disease. Based on the clinical symptoms of flaccidity, convulsive, and fei syndromes, where treatment should focus on reinforcing the spleen and kidney, combining moxibustion with herbal medicine. While targeting the disease, treatment should comprehensively apply the methods of "promoting, supplementing, softening, and warming" to eliminate toxins and unblock collaterals, and restore the neural regulation of the brain and spinal cord.

		                        			In the context of the current era when different civilizations are learning from each other, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) needs to continuously draw the essence from modern scientific and technological civilization for creative inheritance and innovative development. It is essential to master the classic texts of TCM to solidify its theoretical foundation, while also read extensively to broaden the academic horizons. TCM's inheritance and innovation should be integrated with the current era's context and social reality, and delve into the essence of TCM's academic experience and clinical practice. Emphasis should be placed on the inheritance of original TCM thinking, and return to the original image creation and transformation. Using image thinking as the main approach, and combined it with modern complex systems science and front-edge methodologies, we could elaborate the TCM theories such as correspondence between nature and human, five circuits and six qi, constitution and endowment, and harmony of body and spirit. The training of academic talents must be at the forefront, closely follow the new trends of the development of contemporary scientific and technological civilization, identify the “pain points” of discipline development, focus on the key areas for improvement, and seek the highlights of academic research. There should be a courage to question and propose new insights, construct new concepts, establish new theories, transform the weakness in original theoretical innovation, and enrich the evolving connotation of TCM.

		                        			Objective:
		                        			To investigate the expression changes of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 3(CDKN3) indifferent tumors and its effect on tumor staging, prognosis and immunotherapy.
		                        		
		                        			Methods:
		                        			The expression characteristics of CDKN3 in different cancers using data from TCGA, CCLE, ICGC, and GTEx databases were evaluated. The GEPIA2 platform and Kaplan-Meier analysis were utilized to assess the effect of CDKN3 on tumor pathological staging and survival prognosis. The TIMER platform was employed to explore the influence of CDKN3 on the tumor immune microenvironment and immunotherapy. Its effect on immune checkpoint and key immunotherapeutic predictors using bioinformatics methods was explored. The GeneMANIA tool was used to construct the protein-protein interaction(PPI) network of CDKN3. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) and Gene Onotology(GO) enrichment analyses were conducted to explore the biological processes and signaling pathways associated with CDKN3. The effect of CDKN3 on HepG2 cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and apoptosis was validated through transfection with CDKN3 siRNA.
		                        		
		                        			Results:
		                        			CDKN3 was found to be widely overexpressed in tumors. High expression of CDKN3 was often associated with advanced pathological staging and poor survival prognosis. CDKN3 expression was negatively correlated with most immune checkpoints and positively correlated with tumor mutation burden(TMB), microsatellite instability(MSI), and mismatch repair(MMR) genes. CDKN3 was associated with cell cycle, cellular senescence, and the p53 signaling pathway. Furthermore, EdU staining, JC-1 staining, Transwell, and Wound Healing assays confirmed that CDKN3 promoted HCC cell proliferation, invasion, and migration while inhibiting apoptosis.
		                        		
		                        			Conclusion
		                        			Abnormal expression of CDKN3 is closely related to tumor staging, prognosis, and immune microenvironment characteristics, making it a potential prognostic marker and immunotherapy adjuvant target in cancer.

		                        			Objective:To explore the influence of online and offline family therapy based on the Satir model on emotions of adolescents with depressive disorder and their parents in remote areas.Methods:A total of 98 cases adolescents with depressive disorder treated in the psychosomatic medicine of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from January 2021 to June 2021 and their parents were selected as the objects. The adolescents with depressive disorder and their parents were randomly divided into the control group (49 parents and 49 adolescents) and the observation group (49 parents and 49 adolescents). The control group received the medical treatment (sertraline 100 mg/d) and the routine health education, while the observation group received the online and offline Satir family therapy on the basis of the intervention of the control group. Generalized anxiety disorder-7 (GAD-7) and patient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) were used to investigate the negative emotions of the parents of the two groups before and 12 weeks after the intervention. The screen for child anxiety related emotional disorders (SCARED) and depression self-rating scale for childhood (DSRS) were used to investigate the negative emotions of the adolescents before and 12 weeks after the intervention.The SPSS 20.0 software was used for statistical analysis. t test was used to compare the SCARED scale score and DSRS score changes of the adolescents in the two groups, and χ 2 test was used to compare the proportional changes of parents' anxiety and depression. Results:The scores of SCARED (51.55±12.69 vs 36.82±7.69, t=15.839) and DSRS (25.08±4.81 vs 16.88±2.16, t=13.047) of adolescents in the control group were significantly different before and after the intervention (both P<0.05). The scores of SCARED (51.16±15.84 vs 31.31±7.72, t=14.385) and DSRS (24.12±4.81 vs 14.08±2.03, t=14.723) of adolescents in the observation group were significantly different before and after the intervention (both P<0.05). After the intervention, the scores of SCARED and DSRS in the observation group were lower than those in the control group ( t=3.540, 6.609, both P<0.05). Before intervention, there was no significant difference in the proportion of anxiety and depression between the parents of the two groups (χ 2=1.837, 3.547, both P>0.05). After 12 weeks of intervention, there was a statistically significant difference in the proportion of anxiety and depression between the two groups, which were lower in the observation group than those in the control group (χ 2=5.995, 4.009, both P<0.05). Conclusion:Online + offline family therapy based on the Satir model can not only effectively reduce anxiety and depression of adolescents, but also effectively reduce anxiety and depression of their parents.It is especially suitable for outpatient management of children with depressive disorder in remote areas.

		                        			Objective:To investigate the effect of holistic thinking training mode on establishing clinical holistic thinking in endodontic practice teaching for students.Methods:Holistic thinking training mode was applied among Batch 2013 (group A, n=174) and Batch 2014 (group B, n=92) students of Guanghua School of Stomatology, Sun Yat-sen University. The teaching results were evaluated by the scores before and after the training and questionnaire, and by comparing their scores with those of Batch 2012 (group C, n=88) students. SPSS 20.0 was used to conduct one-way ANOVA and t test. Results:Compared the scores of students in group A with group B, the total scores before and after the training and the scores of "case report" were not statistically different, but the scores of holistic thinking were significantly improved after the training. Compared with the scores of students in group C, the total scores after the training and the "case report" scores of group A and B were significantly higher. The results of the questionnaire showed that 87.9%(153/174) of the students thought the training mode was conducive to the establishment of holistic thinking, but 77.6%(135/174) thought further improvement was needed in terms of content and time allocation.Conclusion:Holistic thinking training mode has a positive effect on the endodontic practice teaching, and is worth promoting in other departments after further improvement.

		                        			 Objective: To investigate the value of risk ovarian malignancy algorithm (ROMA) in evaluation of the risk of epithelial ovarian cancer and its association with the clinical pathological stages, and to provide a basis for the clinical diagnosis and treatment and prognosis analysis of epithelial ovarian cancer.Methods: The clinical materials of 135 patients with ovarian tumor confirmed by paraffin section pathology after operation were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into benign ovarian tumor group(n=66), epithelial ovarian cancer group(n=58) and non-epithelial ovarian cancer group(n=11).According to the cutoff values of HE4,CA125,and ROMA of the patients in various groups,the positive rates of HE4,CA125,and ROMA of the patients in various groups were calculated.Based on the serum levels of human epididymis protein 4(HE4) and carbohydrate antigen 125(CA125) detected before operation of the patients in various groups, the relationships between the positive rates of serum HE4, CA125 and ROMA and the clinical stages of the patients with ovarian cancer;their diagnosis efficacies in the patients with ovarian cancer were evaluated. Results: The serum CA125, HE4 levels and ROMA value of the patients in epithelial ovarian cancer group were significantly higher than those in benign ovarian tumor group and non-epithelial ovarian cancer group (P<0.05). The positive rates of HE4, CA125, and ROMA of the patients in epithelial ovarian cancer group were higher than those in benign ovarian tumor group (P<0.01), and showed an increasing trend with the increase of clinical stages. Compared with the positive rates of HE4 and CA125, the ROMA had the lowest positive rate in the patients with ovarian benign tumor, and the positive rates of ROMA in all stages of epithelial ovarian cancer were higher than those of CA125.The sensitivity and the negative predictive value of ROMA in postmenopausal patients with ovarian cancer group were higher than those in premenopausal patients with ovarian cancer group (P<0.05), while the specificity and the positive predictive value were not significantly different between premenopausal and postmenopausal patients with ovarian cancer groups (P>0.05). Among the three indexes, ROMA had the highest diagnostic efficacy index and CA125 had the lowest.Conclusion: The diagnostic value of ROMA for evaluating the risk of epithelial ovarian cancer was higher than those of CA125 and HE4, which has a better diagnostic value for the postmenopausal patients and can improve the early diagnosis efficiency of ovarian cancer.
