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.

Alzheimer's disease(AD)is a progressive,irreversible neurodegenerative disorder characterized by gradual brain cell degeneration,leading to progressive decline in cognitive function and ultimately death.Early identification and intervention are critical to AD diagnosis.In recent years,deep learning has further advanced image-based AD classification methods and facilitated the application of deep models in the early AD diagnosis.To achieve accurate early diagnosis and subsequent classification of AD,researchers have integrated deep learning with magnetic resonance imaging to develop more precise models.By analyzing and synthesizing relevant domestic and international literature,this review introduces commonly used public datasets and evaluation criteria for AD,analyzes the application of magnetic resonance imaging in AD classification and its integration with deep learning methods,and highlights the roles of techniques such as convolutional neural networks,transfer learning,attention mechanisms,and multimodal approaches in AD classification.It also discusses the advantages,limitations,and developmental trends of deep learning in AD classification,aiming to provide new insights for the application of deep learning in AD research.

Objective To screen and analyze key genes in rabbit corneal alkali burns based on transcriptomics se-quencing technology and bioinformatics techniques.Methods Thirty healthy male New Zealand rabbits were randomly di-vided into 2 groups(n=15 per group):The control group received no intervention,while the alkali burn group underwent corneal alkali burn modeling.Histological evaluation of corneal tissues was performed via hematoxylin-eosin(HE)stai-ning.Transcriptome sequencing was conducted for library construction and sequencing.Differentially expressed genes(DEGs)were identified using DESeq2,followed by Gene Ontology(GO)functional enrichment analysis and Kyoto Ency-clopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathway analysis.A protein-protein interaction(PPI)network was constructed to screen hub genes,and RT-PCR was employed to validate mRNA expression levels of key genes.Results HE staining revealed orderly arranged corneal stromal layers and scattered stromal cells in the control group,whereas the alkali burn group exhibited stromal edema,thickened collagen fibers with loose/disorganized alignment,and increased fibroblast and inflammatory cell infiltration.Compared to the control group,1 827 significant DEGs were identified in the alkali burn group,including 1 495 upregulated and 332 downregulated genes.GO analysis showed biological processes such as immune response,plasma membrane,and identical protein binding.KEGG analysis indicated that DEGs were enriched in pathways related to cancer,lipid and atherosclerosis,and neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction.The PPI network screened 11 key genes:neutrophil cytosolic factor 1(NCF1),neutrophil cytosolic factor 2(NCF2),matrix metallopeptidase 2(MMP2),ma-trix metallopeptidase 9(MMP9),interleukin-1α(IL-1α),interleukin-1β(IL-1β),interleukin-6(IL-6),interleukin-8(CXCL8),cluster of differentiation 4(CD4),C-C motif ligand 2(CCL2)and tumor necrosis factor(TNF).RT-PCR valida-tion revealed that the mRNA expression levels of key genes in the corneal tissues of the alkali burn group were significantly higher than those in the control group(all P<0.05),consistent with the transcriptomic sequencing results.Conclusion Based on the rabbit corneal alkali burn model,this study identified 11 key genes(NCF1,NCF2,MMP2,MMP9,IL-1α,IL-1β,IL-6,CXCL8,CD4,CCL2 and TNF)through transcriptomics and bioinformatics analysis.

Fatigue driving is a major cause of traffic accidents,which poses a great threat to public safety and property.In order to reduce the losses caused by fatigue driving,many researchers have devoted themselves to the study about fatigue driving,such as driver behavior monitoring,brainwave monitoring,eye tracking and facial expression analysis.Each of these methods has its own advantages and disadvantages.Behavioral monitoring reflects the fatigue state by analyzing the driver's driving habits and facial expression,which is easy to operate but prone to be affected by the external environment.Brainwave monitoring is more accurate and can detect the fatigue state in real time,but the equipment is complicated and costly,which limits its large-scale application.The detection based on eye-tracking and facial expression analysis also has a certain potential for application,but errors may occur under different light conditions.Herein the review introduces the effects of fatigue on driving ability and compares the research results of various fatigue driving detection methods by searching,collating,analyzing and summarizing the relevant literatures at home and abroad.Various detection methods are analyzed and summarized,and it is pointed out that the fatigue driving detection method based on multi-feature information fusion will become a research hotspot.
