Objective To evaluate the short-term effects of comprehensive health management interventions for stroke high-risk population screening on the prevention and treatment of ischemic stroke, and to provide reference and basis for improving and exploring health management and prevention strategies for stroke high-risk population. Methods From 2018 to 2022, 13 community health service centers in Jiading District, Shanghai were selected in the present study. Based on information push platform, stroke risk assessment and health intervention follow-up were conducted for community residents through convenience sampling. The residents were divided into a full course intervention group (intervention group) and a routine intervention group (control group) according to different health intervention measures and forms. The incidence of ischemic stroke in the two groups of survey subjects was tracked within 36 months. Results A total of 52144 subjects were included in the study. The total number of patients in the full course intervention group was 14227, with an incidence density of 577.32/100 000 (556.49/100 000-598.12/100 000), which was lower than that of the conventional intervention group (37 917), with an incidence density of 1 485.47/100 000 (1 464.99/100 000-1 505.94/100 000) (χ²=2490.212, P<0.001). The relative risk of the full course intervention group was 0.39, and the relative risk of stroke risk factors in the full course intervention group from low to high was 0.33, 0.43, 0.45, and 0.49, respectively. The incidence density of males in the full course intervention group was 660.76 (627.46/100 000 - 694.05/100 000), with a relative risk of 0.43, and the incidence density of female patients was 509.71/100 000 (483.37/100 000 - 536.05/100 000), with a relative risk of 0.35. The overall incidence density of the population under 62 years old gourp, 62-75 years old group and over 75 years old group was 197.45/100 000 (173.09/100 000 -221.80/100 000), 608.36/100 000 (580.19/100 000-636.54/100 000), and 1 025.06/100 000 (958.51/100 000-1 091.61/100 000), with relative risks of 0.51, 0.44, and 0.38, respectively. Conclusion Comprehensive health management measures can effectively reduce the short-term risk of ischemic stroke, and should be further promoted and improved to enhance the effectiveness of stroke prevention and control.

AIM:To assess the influence of preoperative lacrimal passage probing and dilation on the therapeutic effectiveness of nasolacrimal silicone intubation in cases of incomplete primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction(PANDO).METHODS: A retrospective case-control clinical study was conducted. The study included patients with incomplete PANDO who underwent nasolacrimal silicone intubation at the hospital between October 2022 and October 2024. Participants were categorized into two groups based on their receipt of nasolacrimal duct probing and dilation prior to intubation. Group A consisted of patients who had undergone one or more sessions of nasolacrimal duct probing and dilation before nasolacrimal silicone intubation, while Group B included patients who did not receive nasolacrimal duct probing and dilation before intubation. All patients had their nasolacrimal silicone tubes removed 3 mo postoperatively and were monitored for 6 mo following tube removal to evaluate surgical success rates.RESULTS: A total of 136 patients(152 eyes)completed the six-month follow-up period. The overall surgical success rate for both groups was 72.4%(110/152 eyes).Group A included 22 males and 36 females, mean age 58.09±11.07 y, and achieved a success rate of 82.8%(53/64 eyes), while Group B included 27 males and 51 females, mean age 59.35±8.84 y and attained a success rate of 64.8%(57/88 eyes). The difference in surgical success rates between the two groups was statistically significant(P=0.014). Furthermore, Group A achieved a complete success rate of 67.2%(43/64 eyes), compared to 47.7%(42/88 eyes)in Group B, with this difference also reaching statistical significance(P=0.017). No serious postoperative complications were observed in either group.CONCLUSION: Nasolacrimal silicone intubation is a safe and effective intervention for incomplete PANDO, with preoperative nasolacrimal duct probing and dilation potentially enhancing therapeutic outcomes.

BackgroundObsessive-compulsive disorder （OCD） carries a considerable disability burden. Intolerance of uncertainty （IU） is associated with the severity of obsessive-compulsive symptoms， yet its neural underpinnings remain unclear. The cerebellum has been implicated in uncertainty processing and demonstrates structural and functional abnormalities in OCD， but direct evidence linking its spontaneous activity to the relationship between IU and obsessive-compulsive symptoms is still lacking. ObjectiveTo explore the pathway through which spontaneous cerebellar neural activity mediates the relationship between IU and obsessive-compulsive symptoms in OCD patients， with the aim of providing a new perspective for understanding the neural mechanisms of OCD. MethodsA total of 51 patients with OCD who visited the Mental Health Center outpatient clinic of the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from November 2022 to November 2024 and met the diagnostic criteria for OCD according to the International Classification of Diseases， tenth edition （ICD-10）. During the same period， 43 community-based volunteers matched for gender and age were enrolled as the control group. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data were collected from two groups. Amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation （ALFF） analysis was used to compare whole-brain spontaneous neural activity between two groups. Clinical assessments were conducted using the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale （Y-BOCS） and the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale-12 （IUS-12）. Pearson correlation analysis was used to examine correlations between cerebellar ALFF values and scale scores in OCD patients. Using IU as the independent variable， obsessive-compulsive symptoms as the dependent variable， and ALFF values from between-group difference brain regions as the mediator， Process 4.0 for SPSS 24.0 （model 4） was used to examine the mediating role of these ALFF values between IU and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. The Bootstrap method was used to test the mediation effect. ResultsA total of 47 OCD patients and 40 controls completed this study. Compared with the control group， the OCD group showed decreased ALFF values in the right cerebellar Crus Ⅱ （t=-5.254， FWE-corrected P<0.01）. Correlation analysis revealed that ALFF value in the right cerebellar Crus Ⅱ was negatively correlated with Y-BOCS total score （r=-0.851）， compulsive behavior subscale score （r=-0.647）， IUS-12 total scores （r=-0.617）， and prospective IU subscale scores （r=-0.717） in OCD group （P<0.01）. Prospective IU subscale scores were positively correlated with Y-BOCS total scores （r=0.811） and compulsive behavior subscale score （r=0.535） （P<0.01）. Mediation analysis showed that ALFF value in the right cerebellar Crus Ⅱ region partially mediated the effect of prospective IU on obsessive-compulsive behavior， with a mediation effect of 0.064 （95% CI： 0.004–0.136）， accounting for 24.57% of the total effect. ConclusionPatients with OCD showed reduced spontaneous neural activity in the right cerebellar Crus Ⅱ region， which was significantly associated with IU and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. This region partially mediated the effect of IU on compulsive behaviors. ［Funded by Basic Conditions and Innovation Platform Construction Project of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region in 2023 （number， 2022YXGCJS001）］

The molecular mechanisms underlying the develop-ment and metastasis of prostate cancer remain elusive.This comprehensive review delves into the intricate role of cofilin,an actin-binding protein,in the pathogenesis and progression of prostate cancer.Cofilin is a significant protein in cytoskeletal dynamics,and any dysregulation may result in the morphological changes in normal cells and the invasion and metastasis of tumor cells.Research has revealed that the activity of cofilin is regula-ted by various mechanisms,including phosphorylation/dephos-phorylation and interactions with other molecules.Moreover,this review discusses promising therapeutic interventions,such as co-filin inhibitors and gene therapy,which have demonstrated effica-cy in preclinical models.The challenge of clinically preventing the transition to castration-resistant prostate cancer and tumor metastasis is widely recognized,necessitating the development of precise drug treatments and biomarker identification.As a key regulatory protein,cofilin provides a more comprehensive refer-ence for the prevention and treatment of prostate diseases.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression of discoidin,CUB and LCCL domain containing protein 1(DCBLD1)and cytoskeleton associated protein 2(CKAP2)in cervical cancer(CC)tissues and epithelial mesenchymal transition(EMT)and clinical prognosis.Methods 94 CC patients diagnosed and treated in Shiyan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from February 2017 to February 2019 were selected.The expression of DCBLD1 messenger ribonucleic acid(mRNA),CKAP2 mRNA,N-cadherin(N-cad)mRNA,vimentin(Vim)mRNA and TWIST mRNA in tissues was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR).The expressions of DCBLD1 and CKAP2 were detected by immunohistochemistry(IHC).Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship between DCBLD1 mRNA,CKAP2 mRNA and EMT-related indicators.Kaplan-Meier survival curve was drawn to compare the prognosis of CC patients with different DCBLD1 mRNA and CKAP2 mRNA expression.COX regression analysis was used to analyze the prognostic factors of CC patients.Results The expression of DCBLD1 mRNA,CKAP2 mRNA,N-cad mRNA,Vim mRNA and TWIST mRNA in CC cancer tissues was higher than that in adjacent tissues,and the differences were statistically significant(t=32.763～52.824,all P<0.05).The positive rates of DCBLD1 protein(89.36%)and CKAP2 protein(87.23%)in CC cancer tissues were higher than those in adjacent normal tissues(7.45%,6.38%),and the differences were statistically significant(χ2=126.278,123.396,all P<0.001).The expression of DCBLD1 mRNA and CKAP2 mRNA in CC cancer tissues were positively correlated with the expression of N-cad mRNA,Vim mRNA and TWIST mRNA(r=0.655～0.744,all P<0.001).The expression of DCBLD1 mRNA and CKAP2 mRNA in patients with FIGO stage IB2～IIB and lymph node metastasis were higher than those in patients with stage IA～IB1 and without lymph node metastasis(t=25.644～35.674,all P<0.05).The 5-year progression free survival rates of the high expression groups of DCBLD1 mRNA and CKAP2 mRNA were 63.04%and 62.22%,respectively,which were lower than those of the low expression groups of DCBLD1 mRNA and CKAP2 mRNA(91.67%and 91.84%),respectively,and the differences were statistically significant(Log-Rank χ2=7.181,6.527,all P<0.05).FIGO stage IB2～IIB,high DCBLD1 mRNA and high CKAP2 mRNA were risk factors affecting the prognosis of CC patients(Wald χ2=8.277,15.877,10.927,all P<0.05).Conclusion The expression of DCBLD1 and CKAP2 in CC cancer tissues is significantly increased,which is related to EMT related indicators and plays a promoting role in the progression of CC tumors.They are new prognostic markers for CC.

AIM To investigate the effects of Xuesaitong Capsules(Panax notoginseng saponins)on ischemia/reperfusion injury in a mouse model of skin frostbite.METHODS The mice were randomly divided into the control group,the model group,the dexamethasone group(1 mg/kg),and the low-dose,medium-dose,and high-dose Xuesaitong Capsules groups(0.036,0.072,and 0.144 g/kg),with eight mice in each group.A frostbite model was established using a dry ice-cooled ceramic(ferrite)magnet.On the 2nd day after modeling,each group started its corresponding dosing by gavage for 14 consecutive days.The wound healing,histopathological changes,and serum levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP),thromboxane B2(TXB2),6-keto-prostaglandin F1α(6-K-PGF1α),nitric oxide(NO)and endothelin(ET)were assessed using ELISA.The superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity and malondialdehyde(MDA)levels in skin tissues were measured biochemically.The protein expressions of tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α,interleukin(IL)-1β,IL-6,Toll-like receptor(TLR)4 and phosphorylated nuclear factor-KB p65(p-NF-κB p65)in skin tissues were determined by Western blot.Additionally,LncRNA H19 mRNA expression in skin tissues was evaluated using RT-qPCR.RESULTS After the final administration,compared with the control group,the model group exhibited partial scab detachment,wound healing,and larger wound areas;hyperkeratosis with incomplete keratinization,detachment of the dermis and subcutaneous tissue,partial loss of appendages,subcutaneous edema,and dilated,congested,and hemorrhagic stromal vessels with extensive lymphocyte infiltration revealed by the histopathological examination;elevated serum levels of hs-CRP,TXB2,and ET(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);decreased 6-K-PGF1α and NO levels(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);reduced SOD activity in skin tissues(P＜0.01);increased MDA levels(P＜0.01);and upregulated protein expressions of TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-6,TLR4 and p-NF-κB p65,as well as LncRNA H19 mRNA expression(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Compared with the model group,the group intervened with high-dose Xuesaitong Capsules displayed reduced wound areas(P＜0.01);decreased serum levels of hs-CRP,TXB2 and ET(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);increased 6-K-PGF1α and NO levels(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);enhanced SOD activity(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);reduced MDA level in skin tissues(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);and down-regulated TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-6,TLR4 and p-NF-κB p65 protein expressions and suppressed LncRNA H19 mRNA expression in skin tissues as well(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).CONCLUSION Xuesaitong Capsules alleviate ischemia/reperfusion injury in frostbite-injured mice by exerting anti-inflammatory and anti oxidative stress effects and restoring vascular endothelial function mediated by the downregulation of LncRNA H19 expression and inhibition of the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.

This study was aimed at investigating the effects of demethylase fat mass and obesity-associated protein(FTO)and methyltransferase methyltransferase like protein 3(METTL3),key molecules in N6-methyladenosine(m6A)modification,on the replication and proliferation of Japanese encephalitis virus(JEV).Recombinant lentiviruses were generated by packaging the FTO and green fluorescent protein into lentiviral vectors.Neuro2a cells,a mouse neuroblastoma cell line,were infected with the lentivirus,and stable FTO-expressing cell lines were obtained through puromycin selection.Successful overexpression of FTO was confirmed through fluorescence microscopy,real-time quantitative PCR,and western blot analysis.When Neuro2a cells overexpressing FTO were infected with JEV,the overexpression of FTO decreased JEV replication in the cells,and increased the expression of interferon(IFN)and related molecules.Additionally,treatment of JEV-infected Neuro2a cells with the METTL3-specific inhibitor STM2457 resulted in a dose-dependent decrease in JEV replication and viral protein expression.These findings suggested that lowering m6A methylation levels inhibits JEV replication,thus shedding light on the regulatory role of methylation modification in JEV replication.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of preoperative intestinal symptoms in patients with bowel endometriosis and to compare the effects of shaving versus segmental bowel resection on postoperative intestinal function.Methods A total of 105 patients diagnosed with bowel endometriosis and treated by the same surgical team at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital,Fudan University between Aug 1,2013 and Dec 30,2017 were prospectively enrolled in this study.Clinical data were collected via outpatient visits and telephone follow-ups at four time points:preoperative(T0)and postoperative(T1:Nov 2018;T2:Nov 2020;T3:Apr 2024).The primary outcome was bowel symptoms and gastrointestinal function scores;secondary outcome was pain scores.A generalized estimating equation(GEE)model was used to analyze the interaction effect of surgical approach and follow-up time on outcomes.Results Ultimately,a total of 89 patients were included(15.24%loss to follow-up),among whom 79 patients(88.76%)underwent shaving excision.Preoperatively,46 patients(51.68%)presented with bowel symptoms,primarily anus bulge(21 cases,46.65%)and diarrhea(15 cases,32.61%)during menstruation.Postoperatively,there was a significant increase in constipation rates(T1:71.43%;T2:50.00%;T3:72.00%).Both surgical groups exhibited significant improvements in dysmenorrhea,gastrointestinal discomfort scores as well as gastrointestinal quality of life index(P<0.000 5).However,the segmental resection group had significantly higher scores for low anterior resection syndrome,constipation compared with the shaving excision group(P=0.02 and P=0.05).Conclusion Approximately half of the patients with bowel endometriosis exhibit typical bowel symptoms preoperatively,such as anus bulge and diarrhea.Both shaving excision and segmental resection effectively alleviate pain;however,shaving excision demonstrates an advantage regarding preservation of bowel function,whereas segmental resection may elevate risks associated with postoperative constipation or altered defecation patterns due to structural changes.The selection of surgical approach should carefully balance lesion removal and functional preservation,moreover,be sure that potential risks are thoroughly informed to patients prior to surgery.
