Kechun Lin (1926—2022) was an eminent biophysicist and educator, one of the earliest explorers of biophysics in China, and the year 2026 marks the centenary of his birth. He led to establish the Department of Biophysics at Beijing Medical College (now Peking University Health Science Center) in the 1950s as one of the earliest and most distinguished biophysical research centers in China. He co-founded the Biophysical Society of China, and advocated for its membership in the International Union for Pure and Applied Biophysics (IUPAB). He was the head of the delegation of the Biophysical Society of China to the International Biophysics Congress, and was elected and served for two consecutive terms as the IUPAB Councilor in the 1980s. His broad interests in biophysics covered lipid research, lipid-protein interactions, and medical issues related biomembranes.

Szu-Chih Liu(刘思职,1904-1983)(Fig.1)was a pivotal figure in the history of biochemistry in the 20th century China,and the year 2024 commemorates the 120th anniversary of his birth.At the commencement of his biochemistry journey for an extended period of more than five decades,he worked as a competent colleague of Professor Hsien Wu in the Department of Biochemistry at Peking Union Medical College(PUMC),elucidating the structural mechanism for protein denaturation and quantitatively examining antigen-antibody equilibrium in immunochemistry.

Background. The COVID-19 pandemic is by far the most significant public health crisis in the 21st century, arousing many psychological concerns like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Aims. This study is aimed at revealing gender differences and similarities in PTSD symptoms among Chinese adults during COVID-19 pandemic. Methods. Data used in this study were from an online cross-sectional study conducted in February 2020 via a web-based platform. We analyzed data from 558 Chinese adults (334 men and 224 women) with PCL-5 scores over the PTSD criteria. A network analysis was performed to explore the structure of PTSD symptoms for subgroups of men and women. Results. The results showed intrusive thoughts and emotional cue reactivity, together with negative beliefs and negative trauma-related emotions, presented strong positive connections in both men and women. A negative connection between intrusive thoughts and self-destructive/reckless behavior existed among women but not men. Regarding centrality symptoms, women and men had flashbacks and self-destructive/reckless behavior in common, but with differential orders. The most central symptom of PTSD was self-destructive/reckless behavior for women and difficulty concentrating for men. Conclusion. We urge that self-destructive/reckless behaviors and flashbacks, as potential core symptoms of COVID-19-related PTSD, be given more attention in future pandemic-related psychiatric intervention programs.

>Tanjun Tong (童坦君, 1934±2022)(Fig. 1), was a renowned biochemist in modern China, this year marks the 90th anniversary of the birth of him. He was elected as a member (academician) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Division of Life Sciences and Medical Sciences in 2005. He completed his undergraduate and graduate studies in Beijing Medical College (now Peking University Health Science Center) and became a faculty member in Beijing Medical College.

Previous studies have suggested that childhood socioeconomic status (SES) is linked to geriatric depressive symptoms in many developed countries. However, the potential pathways of the relationship between childhood SES and geriatric depressive symptoms need to be further explored. This study aimed to assess the mediating effect of being abused during childhood on the association between childhood SES and geriatric depressive symptoms, using evidence from a longitudinal study in China. The study cohort included 8137 individuals. Childhood abuse was defined as experiences related to parental violence, sibling abuse, school violence, community violence, and parental quarrel. Results indicated poor childhood SES was associated significantly with geriatric depressive symptoms. The indirect effect of poor childhood SES to high geriatric depressive risk through community violence, sibling abuse, school violence, and parental quarrel were 0.02, 0.01, 0.02, and 0.01, respectively. Our findings shed new light on the literature regarding the impact of childhood SES on elderly depressive symptoms. Furthermore, childhood SES demonstrated a significant correlation with geriatric depressive symptoms through bullying behaviors. The findings highlight the need to promote both childhood social welfare and psychological well-being within the elderly population.

鲁道夫·魏尔啸(Rudolf Virchow, 1821—1902)是19世纪德国著名的病理学家,被誉为"病理学之父".他提出了细胞病理学,强调"细胞皆源于细胞",将疾病的所在推进至微观细胞层面,极大地推动了病理学的发展.魏尔啸不仅在学术研究方面成绩斐然,同时也是一位尽心尽责的博物馆馆长.1899年他一手创建的病理学博物馆是当时世界医学发展史的一座顶级殿堂,此后历经战火硝烟近乎损毁.

In 1956,the first advanced course for senior lecturers of medical history was held in Beijing. Thirty-one students from colleges and universities of western medicine all over the country participated in the professional training for a period of 6 months. The scale of the advanced course was unprecedented,both the curriculum and the teaching staff were very considerable. The teaching content covered the history of Chinese medicine,the history of world medicine,the history of Chinese science and technology, the history of Chinese philosophy, the policy of traditional Chinese medicine,the theory of traditional Chinese medicine,the history of the discipline of traditional Chinese medicine and related topics. Teaching forms were rich and diverse,and in addition to classroom lectures,there were literature reading,classroom discussions,expert answers,students ’trial lectures,experience exchanges,field visits and investigations,and so on. On the basis of firsthand historical data,this article reviews the first advanced course for senior lecturers of medical history,analyzes the course’s influence on the development of the discipline of medical history,the teaching and scientific research of medical history and personnel training,and shows the attitude and spirit of rigorous diligence, concentration and persistence, unity and harmony, peace and contentment,dedication and dedication of the older generation of medical historians. The curriculum and teaching form of the course provide a good reference sample for the teaching and training of medical history in the future. The attitude and spirit of the older generation of medical historians can become a lively case of course for the teaching of medical history.

In the period of the Republic of China, the maternal and infant mortality rates were high, most of which were caused by puerperal fever and neonatal tetanus. In this sense, Chinese traditional midwives were often regarded as "dirty". After western obstetrics was introduced into China in the late Qing Dynasty and the early period of the Republic of China,the occurrence of postpartum infection was effectively reduced with childbirth disinfection. To improve the health status of women and infants, the government of the Republic of China put in place measures to develop midwifery. The training of the traditional midwives was included in midwifery education. The delivery basket was used to help promote the new method of delivery and popularise the concept of sterilization of delivery. Thus, midwifery was remodeled and the remodeled midwives played an important role in family midwifery education.

医学史顾名思义就是医学的历史。医学史既包括医学的内容，又具有历史学科的特点。医学史是介于自然科学和社会科学之间，融合医学科学和人文学科的特殊学科。医学史以研究医学问题为核心，不仅关注医学理论和技术的发展，而且关注社会经济、文化传统、哲学思想、宗教信仰等因素对医学发展的影响。因此，从医学历史的独特视角追溯医学的发展轨迹，不仅可以纵览医学的成就，还可以管窥医学发展中暴露出的问题，总结医学史上的成功经验和失败教训，避免重走前人的弯路。这是医学史带给人类的巨大财富。
