The success of implementation research is closely tied to the institution's pre-implementation readiness. This study aims to explore the organizational readiness for change (ORC) and its influencing factors on primary healthcare settings in the implementation of the "Shared Medical Appointment for Diabetes (SMART) in China: design of an optimization trial" and to enhance ORC and provide insights to support the effective implementation of the program. Qualitative interviews and quantitative surveys were conducted to evaluate the ORC level and its influencing factors in 12 institutions implementing the SMART program. The Scale for Assessing the Institution's Readiness to Implement Evidence-Based Practices was utilized to measure ORC levels. Qualitative interviews were conducted among change implementers to gather information regarding the status of influencing factors. Thematic analysis was applied to extract factors from the interview data, and an assessment questionnaire was developed to measure the perceived impact of these factors. A fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) method was employed to identify the influencing factors of ORC and pathways leading to high-level ORC. Seventy implementers from 12 institutions, encompassing administrators, clinicians, and health managers, participated in the interviews and surveys. The median and interquartile of the ORC scores were 105.20 (101.23, 107.33). The fsQCA indicated that a clear understanding of specific tasks and responsibilities, the active engagement of key participants, sufficient preliminary preparation, and the use of audits and feedback mechanisms were critical pathways to a high-level ORC. Conversely, institutions lacking key participants, preliminary preparation, or marginal influence demonstrated a low-level ORC. Before implementing innovation, Coherence and Cognitive Participation were identified as critical factors in influencing ORC. Strong leadership from key participants played pivotal role in enhancing readiness for change and was essential for improving implementation fidelity and overall program success.

This study aimed to localize the workplace readiness questionnaire (WRQ) and validate its applicability for assessing readiness for implementation of evidence-based practices (EBP) in primary care settings in China. The localization of the instrument will provide a practical instrument for assessing organizational readiness for change (ORC). The WRQ was translateed into Chinese version using the modified Brislin translation model, and its cross-cultural validity, content validity, and generalizability were evaluated by the Delphi method, and the expert feedback was evaluated using the item-level content validity index (I-CVI), scale-level content validity index (S-CVI), and corrected Kappa value. The index weights were evaluated by the analytic hierarchical process (AHP). The target users of the scale were invited to quantitatively evaluate its item importance score (IIS), and the surface validity was evaluated by combining the qualitative feedback from their cognitive interviews. To clarify the purpose of the scale, we revised its name to the Organizational Readiness of Implementing Evidence-Based Practices (ORIEBP) Scale. The ORIEBP scale contained five dimensions, which were Change Context, Change Valence, Information Evaluation, Change Commitment, Change Efficiency, and 32 items. After two rounds of the Delphi method to refine the construction of three dimensions and expressions of 11 items, the I-CVI were from 0.73 to 1.00, the Kappa value were from 0.70 to 1.00, and the S-CVI was over 0.92. All evaluation matrices of the hierarchical analysis method met the requirement of consistency ratio (CR < 0.1), and the weights of five dimensions were 0.2083, 0.2022, 0.1907, 0.2193, and 0.1795, in sequence. Nine out of eleven experts identified that items were applicable to other readiness assessment scenarios. The IIS scores for the five dimensions and 32 items were ranged from 2.93 to 3.54, and 2.71 to 3.42, presenting good face validity. The cognitive interview results showed that professional expressions were complex to understand. This study validated the ORIEBP scale and has good content validity and generalizability. The scale can be further improved by expanding its scope of use and validating its structure validity and reliability in different settings.

Growth arrest DNA damage-inducible protein 45 β (GADD45B) has been reported to be a regulatory factor for active DNA demethylation and is implicated in the modulation of synaptic plasticity and chronic stress-related psychopathological processes. However, its precise role and mechanism of action in stress susceptibility remain elusive. In this study, we found a significant reduction in GADD45B expression specifically in the ventral, but not the dorsal hippocampal CA1 (dCA1) of stress-susceptible mice. Furthermore, we demonstrated that GADD45B negatively regulates susceptibility to social stress and NMDA receptor-dependent long-term potentiation (LTP) in the ventral hippocampal CA1 (vCA1). Importantly, through pharmacological inhibition using the NMDA receptor antagonist MK801, we provided further evidence supporting the hypothesis that GADD45B potentially modulates susceptibility to social stress by influencing NMDA receptor-mediated LTP. Collectively, these results suggested that modulation of NMDA receptor-mediated synaptic plasticity is a pivotal mechanism underlying the regulation of susceptibility to social stress by GADD45B.

High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), when released extracellularly, plays a pivotal role in the development of spinal cord synapses and exacerbates autoimmune diseases within the central nervous system. In experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a condition that models multiple sclerosis, the levels of extracellular HMGB1 and interleukin-33 (IL-33) have been found to be inversely correlated. However, the mechanism by which IL-33 deficiency enhances HMGB1 release during EAE remains elusive. Our study elucidates a potential signaling pathway whereby the absence of IL-33 leads to increased binding of P300/CBP-associated factor with HMGB1 in the nuclei of astrocytes, upregulating HMGB1 acetylation and promoting its release from astrocyte nuclei in the spinal cord of EAE mice. Conversely, the addition of IL-33 counteracts the TNF-α-induced increase in HMGB1 and acetylated HMGB1 levels in primary astrocytes. These findings underscore the potential of IL-33-associated signaling pathways as a therapeutic target for EAE treatment.
