    Abstract In recent years, trans medicine has increasingly shifted towards gender-affirming care, focusing on assisting transgender people in finding safe and effective ways to support their gender identity. Through standards of care, clinical guidelines, and classification systems, international experts have established global norms with profound downstream implications. However, how local providers respond to these new norms remains underexplored. Drawing on ethnographic work in clinical settings, conferences, and 30 in-depth interviews with healthcare providers, I argue that family-centered gender-affirming care has emerged in China as providers strive to balance global ideals of "good" trans medicine with the constraints of the local healthcare system. While international standards assist providers in adopting a less pathologizing and binary view of care, they provide limited practical guidance for navigating local social and institutional challenges. Faced with a lack of legal and institutional support, providers increasingly rely on family members' involvement to mitigate medical dispute risks. This reliance manifests in two forms: restrictive gatekeeping, where care is delayed or denied based on family members' attitudes and providers' assessment of transgender adults' ability to lead a "normal life," and affective gatekeeping, where providers use psychological support and gender diversity education to involve family members as caregivers. These findings enrich sociological studies in global health by illustrating how the interactions between global norms and local healthcare systems can both alleviate and reproduce barriers to care.

    Abstract Vibrations generated in the metro transport environment are mainly caused by, vibrations generated by the interaction between the metro and the track during operation. and the change of vibration factors will affect the normal operation of the subway. However, it is difficult to have a model that can achieve the characteristics of high accuracy, fast computing speed and wide range of use in the traditional metro rail transportation environment prediction. Therefore, this research uses database theory and machine learning algorithms to predict the vibration of subway transportation environment. The experimental results show that the average difference between the whole prediction value and the real value is 1.4 dB, of which the maximum difference error value is 0.29%, the maximum error difference is 8.2%, and the approximate value is 6.2 dB, and the four averages predicted in 40 m are relatively small as 1.6 dB, and the average error value of prediction ability between 40 and 100 m is 1.72 dB, and the experimental prediction value and real value are in good agreement. The agreement between the experimental prediction and the real value is very good. Therefore, the model is able to predict the vibration model of the subway transportation environment with a high degree of agreement and accuracy.

    Abstract To identify the differentially important genes of human periodontal ligament cells (PDLC) in response to different types of force, the dataset with regard to human PDLC in response to force was retrieved from the GEO. Differentially expressed genes (DEG) analysis between mechanical force (MF) and the control group was conducted. The gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was applied to identify the functional enrichment in different MF groups. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) of transcriptomic data was performed to identify the highly correlated genes in human PDLC in response to MF. The Lasso regression model was applied to screen the key genes. Results showed A total of 2861 DEGs were identified between the MF group and control group, including 1470 up-regulated DEGs and 1391 down-regulated DEGs. Different biological processes were enriched between the static group and the intermittent group. The Myc targets, TGF-β signaling pathway and PI3K/AKT/MTOR signaling pathway were enriched in intermittent-MF and static-MF groups. The turquoise module (including 386 hub genes) in WGCNA was highly correlated with intermittent traits and the black module (including 33 hub genes) was positively correlated with static traits. The lasso analysis result showed that the CLIC4, NPLOC4 and PRDX6 had the greatest impact on the human PDLC with mechanic stimuli with good predictive efficiency. In conclusion, we developed important genes for human PDLC in response to MF, which might be potential markers for orthodontic tooth movement.

    Abstract Tryptanthrin is one of the well-known natural alkaloids with a broad spectrum of biological activities and can act as anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antitubercular, and other agents. Owing to its potent anticancer activity, tryptanthrin has been widely explored for the therapy of various cancers besides being effective against other diseases. Tryptanthrin with a pharmacological indoloquinazoline moiety can not only be modified by different functional groups to achieve various tryptanthrin derivatives, which may realize the improvement of anticancer activity, but also bind with different metal ions to obtain varied tryptanthrin metal complexes as potential anticancer agents, due to their higher anticancer activities in comparison with tryptanthrin (or its derivatives) and cisplatin. This review outlines the recent advances in the syntheses, structures, and anticancer activities of tryptanthrin derivatives and their metal complexes, trying to reveal their structure-activity relationships and to provide a helpful way for medicinal chemists in the development of new and effective tryptanthrin-based anticancer agents.

    Abstract The Earth’s inner magnetosphere is a highly-coupled system in which multiple plasma populations interact with one another. The interplay between ion transport, acceleration, and loss processes results in a variety of ion spectral structures frequently observed in the inner magnetosphere. An interesting type of these spectral structures, the trunk-like structures named after their shapes in the observed ion energy spectrum, is characterized by enhanced ion fluxes at decreasing energies (from ~10 keV to a few eV) with decreasing equatorial distance to the Earth. An outstanding puzzle for these structures is that they appear almost exclusively during the inbound but not outbound passes of the observing spacecraft. To unravel this puzzle, we propose that the ions in the trunk-like structures are not dispersed radially as usually expected, but instead, dispersed along the azimuthal direction due to the energy dependence of their gradient/curvature drift speed. Case and statistical studies are carried out to examine this hypothesis, which indicates the rich dynamics of the inner magnetosphere even during geomagnetic quiet intervals.

    Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) technology has experienced from nothing, evolving from high-Tech technology with high mortality to the well-known last life-saving weapon. At present, ECMO technology is booming and widely used in the treatment of patients with severe respiratory failure and cardiogenic shock. In recent years, the use of ECMO in China has also made great progress, but there are some problems in the construction of ECMO centers and ECMO-related technologies. The article aims to discuss the current situation and problems faced in ECMO use in China, such as insufficient cases, regional differences, centre construction and related technical issues.
