ObjectiveTo investigate the present situation of input, output, outcome and impact of all registered community-based rehabilitation stations in Inner Mongolia in China, and analyze how the input predict the output, outcome and impact. MethodsFrom March 1st to April 30th, 2025, a questionnaire survey was conducted on all registered community-based rehabilitation stations in Inner Mongolia, covering four dimensions: input, output, outcome and impact. A total of 1 365 questionnaires were distributed. The input included four items: laws and policies, human resources, equipment and facilities, and rehabilitation information management. The output included two items: technical paths and benefits/effectiveness. The outcome included three items: coverage rates, rehabilitation interventions and functional results. The impact included two items: health and sustainability. Each item contained several questions, all of which were described in a positive way. Each question was scored from one to five. A lower score indicated that the situation of the community-based rehabilitation station was more in line with the content described in the question. Regression analysis was performed using the total score of each item of input dimension as independent variables, and the total scores of the output, outcome and impact dimensions as dependent variables. ResultsA total of 1 262 valid questionnaires were collected. The mean values of input, output, outcome and impact of community-based rehabilitation stations were 1.827 to 1.904, with coefficient of variation of 45.892% to 49.239%. The regression analysis showed that, rehabilitation information management, human resources, and laws and policies significantly predicted the output dimension (R² = 0.910, P < 0.001). Meanwhile, all four items in the input dimension predicted both the outcome (R² = 0.850, P < 0.001) and impact dimensions (R² = 0.833, P < 0.001). ConclusionInput, output, outcome and impact of the community-based rehabilitation stations in Inner Mongolia were generally in line with the content of the questions, although some imbalances were observed. Additionally, the input of community-based rehabilitation stations could significantly predict their output, outcome and impact.

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic inflammatory disease primarily affecting the joints of the limbs. As the disease progresses, it can involve multiple organ systems. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is the most common pulmonary manifestation of RA. Reported animal models of RA-ILD include adjuvant-induced arthritis (AA), collagen-induced arthritis (CIA), and transgenic mouse arthritis. However, the establishment criteria and evaluation methods for these models lack uniform standards, and they fail to fully replicate the clinicopathological characteristics of RA-ILD. This limitation significantly hinders research into the pathogenesis and development of therapeutic drugs for RA-ILD. Objective: The aim of the study was to review literature in China and abroad on RA-ILD animal models, analyze current research progress, identify existing issues, and propose research recommendations. Methods: Literature searches were conducted using the English keywords “rheumatoid arthritis, interstitial lung disease, model” and the Chinese keywords “(rheumatoid arthritis), (interstitial lung disease), (model)” or “(rheumatoid arthritis), (lung interstitial lesions), (model).” The search was performed in PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang Data, and VIP (China Science and Technology Journal Database) for articles published before November 2024. A total of 41 articles were included. Results and conclusions: The CIA model and the CIA model combined with bleomycin are commonly used due to their similarities to the histopathology and disease manifestations of human RA-ILD. Additionally, these models have appropriate cost and modeling duration, along with a high success rate, making them preferable choices. Transgenic animal models exhibit pathological features similar to the nonspecific interstitial pneumonia subtype of human RA-ILD and are useful for studying the genetic effects on RA-ILD. However, they have drawbacks such as high economic costs, long modeling durations, and a low success rate in some cases. The AA model is easy to establish, requires a short modeling period, and has low experimental costs. However, it lacks the chronic pathological development characteristic of human RA and exhibits a degree of self-limitation in lesion progression. Among other models, the comprehensive HLA-DQ8 transgenic mouse model can be used to study the combined effects of genetic and environmental factors on RA-ILD. The collagen autoantibody-induced arthritis model combined with bleomycin has a short modeling period, but it does not align well with the disease course of RA-ILD. These established animal models provide valuable insights into the pathogenesis of RA-ILD, the identification of novel biomarkers, and the development of new therapeutic approaches. Future research should focus on identifying an animal model that better replicates the physiological and pathological changes of clinical RA-ILD while being more convenient, cost-effective, and comprehensive in reflecting disease progression.

Objective:To analyze the key β-amyloid protein (Aβ) deposition in brain regions affecting the progression from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to Alzheimer's disease (AD).Methods:Based on the positron emission tomography data of Aβ in the Alzheimer's disease neuroimaging initiative database, the penalized generalized estimating equation (PGEE) and the mixed effects regression forest algorithm (MERF) were used to conduct dimensionality reduction analysis on 164 brain regions with Aβ deposition. Additionally, a multivariate longitudinal data joint model was used to screen the key Aβ deposition brain regions that influence the progression from MCI to AD.Results:Five key brain regions were commonly screened out by the PGEE and MERF models, they were the right prefrontal orbital cortex, the left superior temporal sulcus shore cortex, the right medial orbitofrontal cortex, the left putamen, and the right transverse temporal cortex, respectively. The results of the multivariate longitudinal data joint model based on these 5 Aβ deposition brain regions showed that, except the left superior temporal sulcus shore cortex, the longitudinal change trajectories of the other 4 Aβ deposition brain regions all affected the progression from MCI to AD ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The Aβ deposition in the right prefrontal orbital cortex, right medial orbitofrontal cortex, left putamen and right transverse temporal cortex affect the progression from MCI to AD.

Objective:To examine the relationships between perceived organizational support in job resources, self-efficacy in personal resources, and teaching commitment based on the job requirement-resource model, and to explore the path of influencing clinical teachers' teaching commitment.Methods:Using the convenience sampling method, 463 clinical teachers from 16 university-affilicated hospitals in Shandong Province, China were selected as the study subjects. Surveys were conducted using the Perceived Organizational Support Scale, Self-efficacy Scale, and Teaching Commitment Scale. A statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 26.0. A structural equation model was constructed using AMOS 26.0 to test the mediation effect.Results:①The level of teaching commitment of clinical teachers was relatively high, with a total score of (45.25±9.21) points. The total score of perceived organizational support was (38.22±9.75) points, and the total score of self-efficacy was (112.27±17.30) points. ②Perceived organizational support and self-efficacy were positively correlated with teaching commitment ( r=0.59, r=0.65, both P<0.01). ③ Perceived organizational support had significant and direct positive effects on teaching commitment and self-efficacy ( β=0.36, β=0.51, both P<0.01). Self-efficacy significantly and positively affected teaching commitment ( β=0.47, P<0.01). Self-efficacy played a significant and partial mediating role in the effect of perceived organizational support on teaching commitment (standardized mediating effect value of 0.239, P<0.01), and the mediating effect percentage was 39.83%. Conclusions:Perceived organizational support not only directly predicts clinical teachers' teaching commitment, but also indirectly affects teaching commitment through self-efficacy. University-affiliated hospital administrators should pay attention to clinical teachers' perceived organizational support to improve their self-efficacy and teaching commitment, thereby ensuring teaching quality.

Objective:To explore the latent classes of intrinsic capacity and their influencing factors among hospitalized older adults, providing a basis for developing targeted intervention strategies.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to recruit 371 hospitalized older adults from Beijing Hospital between April 2022 and July 2023. The integrated care for older people comprehensive assessment tool was used to assess the intrinsic capacity of hospitalizd older adults, along with grip strength tests. Latent class analysis (LCA) was employed to classify the intrinsic capacity of hospitalizd older adults, and multinomial Logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore the influencing factors of different latent classes.Results:Among the 371 older adults, 78.98% (293/371) exhibited declines in various dimensions of intrinsic capacity, with impairment detection rates of 36.39% (135/371) in cognition, 34.23% (127/371) in mobility, 21.02% (78/371) in vitality, 33.69% (125/371) in psychological well-being, and 47.98% (178/371) in sensory function. The LCA results identified three latent classes of intrinsic capacity: high mobility-moderate sensory group (39.08%, 145/371) , low cognition-high mobility group (26.68%, 99/371) , and low mobility group (34.23%, 127/371) . Multinomial Logistic regression analysis revealed that age, gender, monthly family income, polypharmacy, and grip strength were influencing factors of the latent classes of intrinsic capacity ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The intrinsic capacity of hospitalized older adults is heterogeneous. It is essential to promptly identify the characteristics of intrinsic capacity in different groups, with particular attention to older adults in the low cognition-high mobility group and low mobility group, and implement targeted interventions to prevent and improve adverse outcomes.
