Implementation Science is an interdisciplinary field dedicated to systematically studying how to effectively translate evidence-based research findings into practical application and implementation. In the health-related context, it focuses on enhancing the efficiency and quality of healthcare services, thereby facilitating the transition from scientific evidence to real-world practice. This article elaborates on Theories, Models, and Frameworks (TMF) within health-related Implementation Science, clarifying their basic concepts and classifications, and discussing their roles in guiding implementation processes. Furthermore, it reviews and prospects current research from three aspects: the constituent elements of TMF, their practical applications, and future directions. Five representative frameworks are emphasized, including the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), the Practical Robust Implementation and Sustainability Model (PRISM), the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, Sustainment (EPIS)framework, the Behavior Change Wheel (BCW), and the Normalization Process Theory (NPT). Additionally, resources such as the Dissemination & Implementation Models Webtool and the T-CaST tool are introduced to assist researchers in selecting appropriate TMFs based on project-specific needs.

To develop a milestone-based evaluation system for the core "knowledge and skills" competency of neurology residents that is tailored to China's medical context, so as to provide precise guidance for their training and assessment. Using the Delphi method, the study first constructed an initial framework through literature review, on-site investigation and expert-group discussion. Two rounds of expert consultation were then conducted among specialists in neurology education across China. Indicators were screened and optimized according to the mean score, agreement rate and coefficient of variation (CV), ultimately finalizing the system. The expert response rates in both rounds were 100%. The group authority coefficients were 0.97 and 0.98, with Cronbach's α of 0.90 and 0.88, respectively. The mean scores of all indicators ranged from 3.88 to 5.00, agreement rates from 62.50 % to 100 %, and CVs from 0 to 0.21. The finalized framework comprises one first-level indicator, three second-level indicators and 17 third-level indicators. The milestone evaluation system for core competencies in "knowledge and skills" of neurology residents developed in this study is scientific and reasonable, providing a standardized and scientific assessment tool for the standardized training of neurology residents.

AIM:To investigate the activation of Cl-channels by sodium taurocholate(NaTC)in mouse pan-creatic acinar cells.METHODS:The single isolated pancreatic acinar cells from FVB/N mice were prepared using colla-genase digestion method.Whole-cell patch clamp technique was performed to record the currents.Intracellular adenosine triphosphate(ATP)dependence of the channels was examined via eliminating ATP from the pipette solution.Anion per-meability of the channels was investigated with ion-exchange method.The pharmacological characteristics of the channels was confirmed by two Cl-channel blockers.The volume sensitivity of the channels was detected using 47%hypertonic bathing solution.Extracellular Ca2+dependence of activating the channels was examined through eliminating Ca2+from the bathing solution.Intracellular reactive oxygen species(ROS)level was detected by an oxidation-sensitive fluorescent probe,2',7'-dichlorofluorescin diacetate.The experiment was repeated 6 times in each group.RESULTS:Extracellular application of 5 mmol/L sodium taurocholate induced a Cl-current,exhibiting the properties of outward-rectification,a se-lectivity sequence of I->Br-≥Cl->gluconate-and intracellularATP dependence(P<0.01).The currents were inhibited by chloride channel blocker 4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid disodium salt hydrate(DIDS)and tamoxifen and by 47%hypertonicity stimulation(P<0.01).When ROS production was scavenged by N-acetyl-L-cysteine,the sodi-um taurocholate-induced Cl-currents were unaffected.The effect of sodium taurocholate on ROS production did not alter with the treatment with DIDS.Sodium taurocholate failed to induce Cl-currents when Ca2+was absent in extracellular bath-ing solution(P>0.05).CONCLUSION:Sodium taurocholate activates Cl-channels in mouse pancreatic acinar cells,which is dependent on extracellular Ca2+but not ROS pathway.

Objective:To explore the strategy of prostate biopsy in patients with prostate specific antigen(PSA)gray zone based on prostate imaging reporting and data system (PI-RADS).Methods:The clinical data of 427 patients who underwent transperineal prostate biopsy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2020 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The median age was 66 (61, 72) years old. The median PSA was 6.62 (5.46, 8.19) ng/ml. The median PSA density (PSAD) was 0.15 (0.11, 0.21) ng/ml 2. The median prostate volume (PV) was 43.68 (31.12, 56.82) ml. PSA velocity (PSAV) data were available in 65 patients with negative MRI examination(PI-RADS <3), and the median PSAV was 1.40 (0.69, 2.89) ng/(ml· year). Among the patients with positive MRI(PI-RADS≥3), there were 174 patients with only 1 lesion and 83 patients with ≥2 lesions. A total of 170 patients with negative MRI underwent systematic biopsy, and 257 patients with positive MRI underwent systematic combined targeted biopsy. The PI-RADS score, regions of interest(ROI), PSAD, f/tPSA and PSAV were analyzed to explore the biopsy strategy for patients with PSA gray area based on bpMRI imaging. Results:Of the 427 patients included in the study, 194 were positive and 233 were negative. Among the patients with positive biopsy pathology, 140 cases were clinically significant prostate cancer (CsPCa). Among the MRI-negative patients, there were 33 cases with PSAV ≥1.4 ng/(ml·year), and 10 cases of prostate cancer and 6 cases of CsPCa were detected by systematic biopsy.In 32 cases with PSAV <1.4 ng/(ml·year), 3 cases of prostate cancer and 0 case of CsPCa were detected by systematic biopsy. The sensitivity of systematic biopsy for the diagnosis of prostate cancer and CsPCa in patients with PSAV≥1.4 ng/(ml·year) were 76.9% (10/13) and 100.0% (6/6) respectively, the specificity were 55.8% (29/52) and 54.2% (32/59) respectively, the negative predictive value were 90.6% (29/32) and 100.0% (32/32) respectively, and the positive predictive value were 30.3% (10/33) and 18.2% (6/33) respectively. In MRI-positive patients with PI-RADS 3, the prostate cancer detection rates of targeted biopsy combined with systematic biopsy, systematic biopsy and targeted biopsy were 41.7% (45/108), 32.4% (35/108) and 35.2% (38/108), respectively ( P=0.349). The detection rates of CsPCa were 27.8% (30/108), 21.3% (23/108) and 25.0% (27/108), respectively ( P=0.541). In patients with PI-RADS 4-5 and PSAD > 0.15 ng/ml 2, the detection rates of CsPCa in targeted biopsy combined with systematic biopsy, systematic biopsy and targeted biopsy were 67.8% (61/90), 58.9% (53/90) and 67.8% (61/90), respectively ( P=0.354). Conclusions:For MRI-negative patients, all CsPCa could be detected by perineal systematic biopsy when PSAV ≥1.4 ng/(ml·year), and active observation could be performed when PSAV <1.4 ng/(ml·year). For MRI-positive patients, targeted combined systemic biopsy was required when PI-RADS score was 3, and targeted biopsy only could be performed when PI-RADS score ≥4 and PSAD >0.15 ng/ml 2, otherwise targeted combined systemic biopsy was required.

BACKGROUND:In clinical practice,the anterior superior iliac spine and posterior superior iliac spine are usually located by palpation,and the tilt of the pelvis is determined by visual observation method or photogrammetry.Among them,the visual observation method can only have qualitative conclusions,and its reliability is poor.The photogrammetry is not only more convenient and fast,but also can give more accurate quantitative data,which is one of the best clinical evaluation methods.However,there are no studies on the reliability of pelvic posture assessment using photogrammetry in China. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the pelvic posture by visual observation method and photogrammetry,and to compare the reliability level of the two methods to guide clinical application. METHODS:Forty-five healthy subjects were selected and red marks were made at the bilateral anterior superior iliac spine and posterior superior iliac spine.Pelvic posture was photographed from the front,back(coronal plane),left,and right(sagittal plane).The left and right pelvic tilt angles(α,β angles)were selected from the front and back views,which represented the angle between the bilateral anterior superior iliac spine line or the bilateral posterior superior iliac spine line and the horizontal line.The anterior and posterior pelvic tilt angles(γ,θ angles)were selected from the side view,which represented the angle between the ipsilateral anterior superior iliac spine and posterior superior iliac spine line and the horizontal plane,indicating the sagittal plane pelvic tilt.Evaluation methods included visual observation method and photogrammetry.Two evaluators independently evaluated the pelvic α,β,γ,θ angles using the visual observation method first,and then recorded the pelvic α,β,γ,θ angles using the photogrammetry.After a one-month interval,the visual observation method and photogrammetry were performed again,and the pelvic α,β,γ,θ angles were recorded.The intraclass correlation coefficients were used to analyze the data obtained from the two evaluation methods and the before-and-after measurements:0.90-0.99 as an excellent correlation,0.80-0.89 as a good correlation,0.70-0.79 as a moderate correlation,and≤0.69 as a poor correlation.The standard error of measurement and the minimal detectable change with 95%confidence intervals were calculated to evaluate the inter-rater and intra-rater reliability. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The interrater intraclass correlation coefficients of the visual observation method and photogrammetry were as follows:anterior view:0.682 and 0.718,posterior view:0.513 and 0.867,left view:0.739 and 0.960,and right view:0.756 and 0.971.The visual observation method showed poor correlation between the anterior and posterior views and moderate correlation between the left and right views,while the photogrammetry showed moderate correlation for the anterior view,good correlation for the posterior view,and excellent correlation for the left and right views.The standard error values of measurement were as follows:anterior view:3.266 and 1.625,posterior view:4.278 and 1.763,left view:5.935 and 1.787,and right view:5.723 and 1.698.The minimal detectable change values with 95%confidence intervals were as follows:anterior view:9.053 and 4.504,posterior view:11.858 and 4.887,left view:16.451 and 4.953,and right view:15.863 and 4.707.(2)The interrater intraclass correlation coefficients of the visual observation method and photogrammetry were as follows:anterior view:0.452 and 0.723,posterior view:0.483 and 0.904,left view:0.518 and 0.955,and right view:0.657 and 0.968.The visual observation method showed poor correlation in all four directions,while the photogrammetry showed moderate correlation for the anterior view and excellent correlation for the other three directions.The standard error values of measurement were as follows:anterior view:5.651 and 1.610,posterior view:4.237 and 1.523,left view:7.322 and 1.891,and right view:6.509 and 1.781.The minimal detectable change values with 95%confidence intervals were as follows:anterior view:15.664 and 4.463,posterior view:11.744 and 4.222,left view:20.296 and 5.242,and right view:18.042 and 4.937.(3)These results confirm that the sagittal and coronal plane photogrammetries have good intrarater and interrater reliability for evaluating pelvic posture,especially with the use of the photogrammetry,which has good data stability.This method is simple,fast,efficient,accurate,low-cost,and does not cause X-ray damage,and can qualitatively and quantitatively reflect the actual situation of the patient's pelvis,making it suitable for clinical use.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between the expressions of checkpoint with forkhead-associated and ring finger(CHFR)and metastasis-associated protein 1(MACC1)and the sensitivity of patients with rectal cancer for neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy(nCRT).Methods:The medical documents of 166 patients with rectal cancer admitted to First Hospital of Qinhuangdao from March 2017 to February 2022 were collected.All patients only received nCRT before surgery,and the radiotherapy adopted three-dimensional conformal intensity modulated radiotherapy,and chemotherapy adopted Capeox scheme.All patients successfully completed total mesorectal excision after 4-6 weeks of nCRT treatment.Immunohistochemical SP staining method was used to detect the protein expressions of CHFR and MACC1 in rectal cancer and its adjacent tissues.According to the tumor regressive grading(TRG)standard of the Joint Committee on Cancer Staging in the United States,75 patients who were grade 0-2 as TRG after nCRT were included in the nCRT insensitive group,and 91 patients who were grade 3-4 as TRG were included in the nCRT sensitive group.The expression levels of CHFR and MACC1 proteins in cancer tissues before and after treatment between the two groups were compared.And then,the relationship between clinically pathological characteristics of patients and nCRT sensitivity was analyzed,and the influencing factors of nCRT sensitivity were analyzed.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves of them were drawn,and area under curve(AUC)values were calculated,and the predictive values of CHFR and MACC1 for the sensitivity of patients with rectal cancer to nCRT were further analyzed.Results:The CHFR positive expression rate in rectal cancer tissue was significantly lower than that in adjacent tissues of rectal cancer,and the MACC1 positive expression rate in rectal cancer tissue was significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues of rectal cancer(x2=81.373,87.150,P<0.05),respectively.After 166 patients completed the nCRT treatment,there were 6 cases of TRG grade 0,8 cases of TRG grade 1,61 cases of TRG grade 2,59 cases of TRG grade 3 and 32 cases of TRG grade 4.The sensitivity rate of nCRT was 54.82%(91/166).The CHFR positive expression rate in the nCRT sensitive group was significantly higher than that in the nCRT insensitive group,and the MACC1 positive expression rate in the nCRT sensitive group was significantly lower than that in the nCRT insensitive group(x2=4.613,37.509,P<0.05).The proportions of T4 stage and N+stage in the nCRT sensitive group were higher than those in the nCRT insensitive group,and the differences were statistically significant(x2=54.432,28.912,P<0.05),respectively.The expressions of CHFR and MACC1 were respectively independent risk factor affected the sensitivity of patients with rectal cancer to nCRT[OR=2.456(95% CI:1.294-4.563),OR=3.281(95% CI:1.472-6.479),P<0.05].The sensitivity and specificity of the combined detection of CHFR and MACC1 were respectively 65.89% and 69.46% in predicting the nCRT sensitivity for rectal cancer.The predictive value of the combined detection was higher than that of single CHFR detection and single MACC1 detection(AUC values of them were respectively 0.713,0.564,0.589,P<0.05),respectively.Conclusion:CHFR and MACC1 are related to the sensitivity of patients with rectal cancer to nCRT,which means patients with high expression of CHFR and low expression of MACC1 are more sensitive to nCRT.Therefore,both of them may be indicators that predict the sensitivity of patients with rectal cancer to nCRT.

ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation among the botanical characteristics, biological characteristics, chemical composition, and medicinal properties and efficacy of traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) from latex-containing plants, so as to strengthen the theory of "identifying symptoms for qualities" and provide a reference for the development and utilization of the latex-containing plant resources. MethodStatistics on the meridians for properties and tastes, efficacy, medicinal parts, family and genus, and chemical components of TCM from latex-containing plants were carried out. A total of 53 TCM from latex-containing plants included in the 2020 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia were screened by mining the Chinese Botanical Journal, Chinese Materia Medica, Dictionary of Traditional Chinese Medicines, and related literature. In addition, their meridians for properties and tastes, medicinal parts, chemical components, and TCM classifications were summarized and statistically analyzed by using Excel 2013 and ChiPlot 2023.3.31 software. ResultIt was found that latex-containing plants were mainly distributed in one kingdom, one phylum, two classes, and 20 families, and most of the TCM from latex-containing plants belonged to Dicotyledonaceae under Angiosperms. In terms of properties and tastes, plain>cold>warm>cool>hot and bitter>pungent>sweet>sour>salty. In terms of meridians, liver>lung>kidney>spleen=large intestine=stomach>heart>bladder=gallbladder=small intestines. In terms of medicinal parts, roots (root, rhizomes, tuberous root, and root bark)>resin>seed>whole herb (whole herb and above-ground part)>stem (stem and branch)>fruit>leaf>flower=skin. In terms of research on chemical components, they were mostly glycosides. In terms of TCM classification, they were mostly medicines for activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis. ConclusionThe TCM from latex-containing plants is mainly plain, with a uniform warm and cold distribution. The tastes are mainly bitter and pungent, and the major meridians are the liver and lung. The roots and resins are mainly used as medicines. The components mostly contain glycosides, alkaloids, and volatile oils, and most of them are medicines for activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, as well as for removing heat and toxins. There is a certain degree of correlation among the growth habits, medicinal parts, chemical components, and the properties, tastes, and efficacy of the TCM from latex-containing plants. It may provide a reference for resource development and utilization of TCM from latex-containing plants.
