The Proctor's reporting guideline for implementation strategies represents a landmark framework in the field of implementation science, aiming to address the issue of inconsistent reporting in implementation research by standardizing the naming, definition, and operationalization of implementation strategies, thereby enhancing the credibility and utility of research findings. This paper provides an in-depth interpretation of the core connotations of this reporting guideline and illustrates its application in developing interview outlines and specifying implementation strategies, using a brief smoking cessation intervention project as a case study. Through this reporting guideline, abstract recommendations for implementation are systematically transformed into clear, multidimensional operational guides, significantly improving the transparency of strategy connotations and the replicability of actual execution. Meanwhile, the case study highlights the flexibility of the guideline, which allows researchers to adapt the content and format of strategies based on local resources and cultural contexts, thus enhancing practical adaptability while maintaining scientific rigor. However, the application of Proctor's reporting guideline still faces challenges, primarily manifested in the potential confusion surrounding the constructs of temporality and dose in practice, as well as the challenges that the inherent flexibility of the guideline may pose to the assessment of fidelity and effectiveness. Despite these limitations, the reporting guideline remains a vital tool for implementation research; future efforts should focus on optimizing its application—through refining operational guidelines, standardizing flexible adaptations, and involving stakeholders—to better guide implementation studies and continuously promote high-quality development in the field.

Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder characterized by impaired neuromuscular transmission. Thymectomy is one of the therapeutic options for acetylcholine receptor antibody-positive myasthenia gravis patients. The quality of perioperative care is directly associated with surgical safety and patient outcomes. However, there is currently a lack of specialized nursing consensus or guidelines specifically addressing the care of these patients domestically or internationally. To promote the standardization and normalization of perioperative nursing care for myasthenia gravis patients undergoing thymectomy and to ensure treatment efficacy, a panel of 57 experts from relevant fields was convened. Based on evidence-based medicine and clinical practice experience, discussions were held on various aspects including condition assessment, nutritional support, medication management, and airway care, resulting in a consensus with 18 final recommendations by using the Delphi method through two rounds of expert consultation. This consensus aims to provide a scientific reference for the perioperative nursing care of myasthenia gravis patients undergoing thymectomy.

Diabetes mellitus, characterized by glucose metabolism disorders and marked by insulin deficiency or insulin resistance, has seen a continuous rise in prevalence. In recent years, islet transplantation has matured as a therapeutic approach for diabetes, becoming an important method for glycemic control and the reduction of diabetes-related complications.

AIM: To investigate the correlation of serum leucine-rich α-2 glycoprotein 1(LRG1)and fibroblast growth factor 21(FGF-21)levels with neovascular glaucoma(NVG).METHODS: A total of 110 cases(110 eyes)with NVG admitted to the ophthalmology department from September 2020 to September 2022 were selected as NVG group, with 23 cases of grade II, 44 cases of grade III, and 43 cases of grade IV, while 90 sex and age matched cataract patients(90 eyes)were selected as control group. The levels of LRG1, FGF-21, vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF), pigment epithelium-derived factor(PEDF), and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)in serum were detected by ELISA; Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation of serum LRG1 and FGF-21 levels with Teich grade, VEGF, PEDF and TNF-α levels.RESULTS: The levels of serum LRG1, FGF-21, VEGF, PEDF and TNF-α in the NVG group were significantly higher than those in the control group(all P<0.01). With the increase of Teich grading, the levels of serum LRG1, FGF-21, VEGF, PEDF and TNF-α in NVG patients significantly increased in turn(all P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that the levels of LRG1 and FGF-21 in serum of NVG patients were positively correlated with the levels of VEGF, PEDF and TNF-α(all P<0.05).CONCLUSION: The levels of LRG1 and FGF-21 in serum of patients with NVG are obviously increased, which are positively correlated with the levels of VEGF, PEDF and TNF-α, both of which may be related to the development of NVG.

Aim To investigate the effect of total fla-vones of Coreopsis tinctoria Nutt(CF)on cognitive im-pairment in vascular dementia(VD).Methods The VD rat models were established by modified bilateral common carotid arteries ligation method.SD rats were divided into the sham operation group,model group,positive control group(nicergoline),and low,medium,and high dose CF groups.After eight weeks of admin-istration,the short term memory and spatial learning and memory abilities were evaluated by the platform jumping test,dark avoidance test and Morris water maze test.The pathological changes of the hippocam-pal tissues were inspected by HE and Nissl staining.The contents of TNF-α and IL-1β in the hippocampal were examined by ELISA.The protein expression lev-els of TLR4,MyD88,NF-κB p65,and p-NF-κB p65 in the hippocampal were detected by Western blot.The mRNA expression levels of miR-93,TLR4,MyD88,and NF-κB p65 in the hippocampal were determined by qRT-PCR.Results CF obviously improved the short term memory and spatial learning and memory abilities of VD rats,and alleviated the pathological damage of the hippocampus.CF also obviously decreased the lev-els of TNF-α and IL-1β,declined the protein expres-sion levels of TLR4,MyD88,and p-NF-κB p65,and re-duced the miR-93,TLR4,and MyD88 mRNA expres-sion in the hippocampus.Conclusion CF has a nota-ble protective effect on the neuroinflammation and cog-nitive impairments in VD rats by inhibiting the miR-93-mediated TLR4 signaling pathway.

Background:Ideal bowel preparation is the prerequisite for the successful diagnostic and therapeutic colonoscopy.The retention of intestinal bubbles can seriously affect the clarity of the intestinal mucosa and subsequently decrease the detection rate of colonoscopy.Aims:To investigate the application value of dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage in bowel preparation for colonoscopy.Methods:This study was a randomized double-blinded placebo-controlled trial.Patients who underwent colonoscopy from October 2020 to October 2023 at Hainan West Central Hospital were enrolled and randomly allocated into the dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage group and the control group.3 L polyethylene glycol(PEG)+dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage and 3 L PEG+placebo were given for bowel preparation,respectively.The quality of bowel preparation was evaluated by Boston bowel preparation scale(BBPS)score and bubble score.Furthermore,a questionnaire was conducted.The cecal intubation time,withdrawal time,adenoma detection rate and adverse reaction were compared between the two groups.Results:A total of 482 patients who underwent colonoscopy were included.No significant differences in clinical characteristics such as gender,age,body mass index(BMI)and main reasons for colonoscopy were found between the dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage group and the control group(all P>0.05).Compared with the control group,no significant differences existed in total BBPS score and segment scores for right,transverse,and left colon in the dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage group(all P>0.05),but the total bubble score and segment scores for right,transverse,and left colon were significantly decreased(all P<0.001).The withdrawal time in the dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage group was significantly decreased compared to the control group(P<0.001),and the adenoma detection rate was significantly increased(P=0.001).However,no significant differences in cecal intubation time and incidence of adverse reaction were found between the two groups(all P>0.05).Conclusions:Administration of dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage during bowel preparation for colonoscopy can reduce the formation of intestinal bubbles,shorten the withdrawal time and increase the adenoma detection rate.

Objective To compare the factors associated with gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM)between ethnic minorities pregnant women and Han pregnant women in Guizhou.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed in individuals who gave birth in representative hospitals in various regions of Guizhou province from January 2021 to June 2021.A strict screening was carried out according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,and clinical data were collected from 2673 individuals,including 856 ethnic minorities pregnant women and 1817 Han pregnant women.All the inidviduals were divided into GDM group and non-GDM group according to the results of OGTT at 24～28 weeks of gestation.The results of general information,blood routine,and biochemical examination were compared between the two groups.Results In ethnic minorities in Guizhou region,age,gestational weight gain(GWG)≥11.5 kg,unemployed,pregnancy times≥2,parity times≥2 and irregular prenatal examination during pregnancy were higher,and platelet count was higher,while the total protein(TP)and albumin(ALB)were lower in GDM group than in non-GDM group(P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that unemployed,pregnancy times≥2,parity times≥2,irregular prenatal examination during pregnancy,TP and ALB levels were influencing factors for GDM in ethnic minorities in Guizhou region(P<0.05).In Han pregnant women in Guizhou region,the age,proportion of GWG≥11.5 kg,unemployed,pregnancy times≥2,parity times≥2,irregular prenatal examination during pregnancy,direct bilirubin(D-BIL)and urea nitrogen(BUN)were higher,and in GDM group than in non-GDM group(P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that GWG≥11.5 kg,pregnancy times≥2,parity times=1,parity times≥2,irregular prenatal examination during pregnancy,D-BIL and BUN were influencing factors for GDM in Han pregnant women in Guizhou region(P<0.05).Conclusions The same influencing factors for the occurrence of GDM between ethnic minorities and Han nationality in Guizhou were no occupation,pregnancy and parity times≥2,and irregular prenatal examination during pregnancy.TP and ALB levels were the influencing factors for GDM among ethnic minorities.D-BIL and BUN are the influencing factors for GDM in Han nationality.Ethnic minorities and Han pregnant women in Guizhou region should take personalized prevention and intervention measures to guide GDM monitoring and early intervention.

Objective:Bioinformatics and experimental validation reveal the core genes of neutrophil extracellular traps(NETs)in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).Methods:Chip data GSE8545,GSE10006,GSE11906,GSE19407 and GSE20257 were downloaded from GEO database,and the common differential expression genes(DEGs)of the first 4 datas were ob-tained through intersection and enrichment analysis were performed.Neutrophil extracellular traps differential expression genes(NETs-DEGs)were obtained by overlapping the NETs-related genes and the common DEGs,and GSE20257 was used to verify the NETs-DEGs and evaluate the diagnostic efficacy,and enrichment analysis was performed and mRNA expression level was verified in lung tissue of mice emphysema model.Results:A total of 149 common DEGs were acquired.DO analysis mainly concentrated in lung disease and COPD.GO functional annotation mainly involved in olefin metabolism,cytohormone metabolism,endoplasmic reticulum lumen,signaling receptors and oxidative stress activities.KEGG enrichment analysis mainly involved in cytochrome P450 metabo-lism,chemical carcinogenic reactive oxygen species,steroid hormone biosynthesis and phagosome,etc.GSE20257 dataset verifica-tion showed that NETs-DEGs TLR7 and CYP4F3 were up-regulated,and AUC values were 0.750 and 0.947.GO and KEGG mainly focused on fat-soluble vitamin catabolic signaling pathways,phagosomes,arachidonic acid monooxygenase activity,pattern recogni-tion receptors,arachidonic acid metabolism,Toll-like receptor signaling pathways and formation of NETs.Compared with air exposure group,mRNA expression levels of TLR7 and CYP4F3 in lung tissue of emphysema mice induced by cigarette smoke exposure were sig-nificantly increased(P<0.05).Conclusion:TLR7 and CYP4F3 may be the core genes in formation and release of NETs during the pathogenesis of COPD,which are expected to become the targets of immunotherapy for COPD.

The dysregulation of cyclin-dependent kinase 12(CDK12),which may result from genomic alterations or modulation by upstream effectors,is implicated in cancer oncogenesis and progression.CDK12 over-expression or activation is sufficient to induce tumor initiation,recurrence,and therapeutic resistance.However,CDK12 may also exert tumor-suppressive functions in a context-dependent manner.Therefore,caution is warranted when targeting CDK12 in future clinical trials.A comprehensive elucidation of the dual roles and underlying mechanisms of CDK12 in carcinogenesis is urgently needed to advance pre-cision oncology.This review provides an overview of the current understanding of the dysregulation and biological roles of CDK12 in cancer.Subsequently,we systematically summarize the functions and mechanisms of the oncogenic and tumor-suppressive roles of CDK12 in different contexts.Finally,we discuss the potential of CDK12 as a novel therapeutic target and its implications in clinical oncology,offering insights into future directions for innovative cancer treatment strategies.
