ObjectiveTo identify the pharmacodynamic material basis of Ruyi Zhenbaowan in relieving neuropathic pain by integrating the calculation of biological network proximity and pharmacokinetic characterization. MethodThe interaction network of "drug candidate target-related gene of disease" was constructed by Cytoscape 3.8.2, and the average shortest path value of each drug putative target acting on neuropathic pain-related genes in this network was calculated by Pesca 3.8.0 tool so as to evaluate the network proximity between them, and screen prescription candidate targets with strong intervention efficiency and their corresponding potential effect components. After that, plasma and cerebrospinal fluid samples were collected from rats after administration of Ruyi Zhenbaowan at set time points, and the contents of potential effect components in samples was quantified by ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-ion trap mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TRAP/MS), and drug concentration-time curves were plotted, then the pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by DAS 2.1.1. ResultBy evaluating the network proximity between candidate targets and neuropathic pain-related genes in the interaction network, a total of 40 putative targets of Ruyi Zhenbaowan with strong intervention effects on neuropathic pain-related genes, such as estrogen receptor 1(ESR1), cyclic adenosine monophosphate(cAMP)-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit alpha(PRKACA) and protein kinase B1 (Akt1), and 10 corresponding potential effect components, such as glycyrrhizic acid and betulinic acid, were obtained. Pharmacokinetic characterization showed that among the 10 potential effect components, gallic acid, apigenin-7-O-glucuronide, glycyrrhizic acid and apigenin were well absorbed and metabolized in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid, with long onset time and good bioavailability. ConclusionFrom the perspective of efficacy-target-constituent-pharmacokinetic, this study analyzes the main effective materials of Ruyi Zhenbaowan, such as glycyrrhizic acid, gallic acid, apigenin-7-O-glucuronide and apigenin, which have a high exposure in plasma or cerebrospinal fluid and have a strong intervention effect on neuropathic pain. The related results provide reliable experimental evidences for clarifying the material basis and developing quality standards of Ruyi Zhenbaowan.

Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell (ADSC) has become a research hotspot in the field of regenerative medicine and stem cells in recent years because of its rich stock, easy access and low immunogenicity. ADSC can regulate immune system not only directly by interacting with immune cells, such as T cells, macrophages and B cells, but also indirectly via secreting soluble cytokines, such as interleukin (IL), growth factors and extracellular vesicles. Meanwhile, the immunomodulatory effects of ADSC have been demonstrated in vitro and in vivo experiments and applied to treat various of immune-related diseases with good results, such as systemic scleroderma, systemic lupus erythematosus and atopic dermatitis, etc. In this article, the direct and indirect immunomodulatory mechanisms and clinical applications of ADSC are described, its research direction and application prospect are also prospected.

BACKGROUND:
Repairing soft tissue defects caused by inflammation, tumors, and trauma remains a major challenge for surgeons. Adipose tissue engineering (ATE) provides a promising way to solve this problem.
METHODS:
This review summarizes the current ATE strategies for soft tissue reconstruction, and introduces potential construction methods for ATE.
RESULTS:
Scaffold-based and scaffold-free strategies are the two main approaches in ATE. Although several of these methods have been effective clinically, both scaffold-based and scaffold-free strategies have limitations. The third strategy is a synergistic tissue engineering strategy and combines the advantages of scaffold-based and scaffold-free strategies.
CONCLUSION
Personalized construction, stable survival of reconstructed tissues and functional recovery of organs are future goals of building tissue-engineered fat for ATE.

Objective:To investigate the clinical manifestations, pathological features, treatment and prognosis of primary bone lymphoma in children.Methods:The clinical data of children who were initially diagnosed as primary bone lymphoma and treated in Beijing Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2016 to January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, including gender, onset age, primary involvement site, clinical stage, pathological type, fracture, and clinical outcome. The related literature was reviewed.Results:All 11 children were initially diagnosed as primary bone lymphoma, with a median age of onset of 8.6 years old (2.7-12.3 years old), including 7 males and 4 females. There were 7 cases of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), 3 cases of B lymphoblastic lymphoma (BLL), and 1 case of anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). The initial symptoms were bone pain in 8 cases, local swelling in 1 case, limp in 1 case, and fever in 1 case. One case was in stage Ⅰ, 7 cases were in stageⅡ, and 3 cases were in stage Ⅳ, and the most common sites of involvement were femur and tibia. All 11 cases were treated with chemotherapy according to different pathological types, with a median follow-up time of 45 months (7-80 months). Ten cases got complete remission, 1 case of BLL died of bone marrow recurrence after chemotherapy remission.Conclusions:The clinical manifestations of primary bone lymphoma in children are insidious, DLBCL is the most common pathological type, and the prognosis is good after standardized treatment.

Objective:To investigate the medical students' general understanding of online teaching and online learning of medical courses during the COVID-19 epidemic, and to analyze the satisfaction with online medical curriculum and its influencing factors.Methods:A total of 188 medical students in Xiangya School of Medicine of Central South University were investigated anonymously with a self-designed questionnaire. SPSS 26.0 was used for analyzing the relevant data, t test or variance analysis was conducted for coparison between groups, with test level α= 0.05. Results:The 88.83% (167) of the students believed that online teaching was much necessary, and the greatest advantage of online teaching was that they could arrange their learning time freely. However, 59.57%(112) of the students thought that the learning consciousness was reduced, and 49.47% (93) of the teachers were inadaptable to the change of teaching platform and 59.57% (112) teachers could not adapt to the change of teaching may be the main reasons affecting the teaching quality.Conclusion:Students have a high degree of acceptance of online teaching during the epidemic, but there are some problems such as decreased self-discipline, insufficient interaction between teachers and students, dissatisfaction with the construction of online course platform, inability to visit the laboratory and practice in the hospital, and so on. The investigation is still helpful to revise the medical education model in the post-epidemic period and the future. Our results suggest that the combination of online and offline teaching mode can be adopted in medical theory class and PBL discussion class, and at the same time, the construction of online learning resources for clinical practice and medical experiments should be strengthened.

Objective:To investigate the allocation of nursing human resources in burn centers in China.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted. Using a self-designed questionnaire, a survey was carried out from January to March 2022 to investigate the January to December 2021 status of 39 burn centers in China that met the inclusion criteria based on six strategic regions and other regions, including the hospital grade and the region, the number of nurses and opening beds in the burn centers and burn intensive care units (BICUs), the age, working seniority in burn specialty, educational background, professional title, personnel employment, and turnover of nurses and training of newly recruited nurses in the burn centers.Results:This survey covered 30 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions in China (excluding Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Macao Special Administrative Region, and Taiwan region of China). A total of 39 questionnaires were collected, all of which were valid. The 39 burn centers were located in 38 tertiary A hospitals and 1 tertiary B hospital, with 26 burn centers in strategic areas. The nurse/bed ratio of burn centers in the Greater Bay Area of Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao was the highest, while the nurse/bed ratio of burn centers in border ethnic minority area was the lowest. Except for the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle, BICUs had been set up in burn centers in other regions. Among the 39 burn centers, the percentage of nurses aged 25 to 34 years was 51.21% (738/1 441), the percentage of nurses worked in burn specialty for less than 5 years was 31.16% (449/1 441), the percentage of nurses with bachelor's degree was 69.74% (1 005/1 441), and the percentage of nurses with nursing professional title was 44.14% (636/1 441), which were the highest. There were significant differences in the employment of nurses, the percentage of permanent nurses in burn centers in the collaborative development zone of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei was 82.48% (113/137), while the percentage of permanent nurses in burn centers in important military strategic area was only 9.42% (34/361); the turnover rate of nurses was 9.03% (143/1 584), among which the turnover rate of nurses was 18.14% (80/441) in burn centers in important military strategic area. The training for newly recruited nurses in 39 burn centers was mainly based on the guidance of senior nurses and the pre-job education+specialist training.Conclusions:The burn nursing human resources in strategic areas in China are seriously insufficient and unevenly distributed, with unstable nurse team and lack of standardized specialist training. In particular, the nursing human resources in BICUs need to be equipped and supplemented urgently.

Chronic refractory wounds and scars caused by abnormal wound repair seriously damage the health of patients and affect their quality of life. At present, there is a lack of simple but effective and economical treatment methods. Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs), as a kind of mesenchymal stem cells with multi-directional differentiation potential, have been confirmed by several in vivo and in vitro studies to promote wound healing by promoting epithelialization, angiogenesis, immunoregulation, antioxidant properties, and other mechanisms. ASCs and their derivatives have been used in the treatment of refractory wounds caused by burns, diabetic, and radiation injuries with good results achieved. Their potential to become new materials for wound repair has also been confirmed. This paper reviewed the mechanism and clinical application of ASCs in promoting wound repair, and looked into its research direction and prospects.
