Objective To explore the efficacy of progressive exercise training based on the modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scale (mMRC) grading in respiratory rehabilitation for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) at a primary healthcare setting. Methods A total of 106 patients with COPD admitted to Zhuanqiao Community Health Service Center in Shanghai from Aug.1, 2022 to Jul. 30, 2024 were selected as research subjects. They were randomly divided into a study group and a control group in a 1∶1 ratio, with 53 patients in each group. The control group received conventional treatment, while the study group received conventional treatment combined with progressive exercise training. After 4 weeks of continuous treatment, the changes in the 6-minute walk test (6MWT), COPD assessment test (CAT) score, mMRC grading, Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) grading and pulmonary function were compared between the two groups. Results Patients in both groups showed improvements in 6MWT distance, CAT score, mMRC grading, GOLD grading, and pulmonary function compared to baseline (P＜0.05). Moreover, the study group had better improvements in 6MWT distance, CAT score, mMRC grading, GOLD grading, and pulmonary function than the control group (P＜0.05). Conclusions Conventional treatment combined with progressive exercise training based on mMRC grading can enhance the effect of respiratory rehabilitation in patients with COPD, particularly in improving pulmonary function and exercise tolerance.

ObjectiveIntegrated medical and elderly care is a practical step to implement and enhance the health and quality of elderly care. This paper aims to delve into the underlying relationships among factors influencing institutional utilization of integrated medical and elderly care services， promote the efficient service utilization of integrated medical and elderly care model in institutions， and achieve substantial progress in elderly care welfare. MethodsThrough literature review， questionnaire surveys， and expert interviews， 15 key factors influencing the utilization of integrated medical and elderly care services in elderly care institutions were identified and screened.

OBJECTIVE To explore the ameliorative effect of ursolic acid on carbon tetrachloride-induced acute liver injury in mice,and the feasibility of multispectral optoacoustic tomography(MSOT)for characteristic structural and functional imaging of liver tissues.METHODS Kunming mice were randomly divided into the normal control group,model group,model+ursolic acid 30,60 mg·kg-1 groups and model+bifendate 5.625 mg·kg-1 group,with 14 mice in each.Each group was given the corresponding drug once daily for 7 days.An acute liver injury model was established in mice by intraperitoneal injection of 0.2％carbon tetrachloride in olive oil solution after the last administration.Blood was collected,liver tissues were taken 24 h after modeling,and the liver index was calculated,8 mice from each group and the levels of serum glutamic pyruciv transaminase(GPT)and glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase(GOT),as well as superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity and malondialdehyde(MDA)content in liver tissues were measured.The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)method was used to detect the level ofα-glutathione S-transferase(α-GST)in serum.The histopathological changes of the liver were observed under a light microscope.The remaining 6 mice in each group underwent MSOT technique was used for characteristic structural and functional imaging of liver tissue.Levels of oxygenated hemoglobin(HbO2)and deoxygenated hemoglobin(Hb)were analyzed,oxygen saturation was calculated,and the extent of liver injury was assessed by examining the intrahepatic distribution of indocyanine green(ICG).RESULTS Compared with the normal group,the levels of GPT,GOT and α-GST in serum,content of MDA in liver tissues and the liver index in the model control group were significantly increased while the activity of SOD in liver tissues were significantly decreased.Compared with the model group,ursolic acid in each dose group significantly reduced the liver index of mice,lowered the serum levels of GPT and GOT as well as the level of α-GST,decreased the content of MDA in liver tissues,and elevated the activity of SOD in liver-injured mice.Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that significant steatosis and hepatocyte necrosis and inflammatory cell infiltration in hepatocytes of mice in the model group.Ursolic acid significantly attenuated the degree of hepatocellular lesions and markedly reduced steatosis in mice.MSOT imaging showed that the HbO2 level and oxygen saturation were significantly lower while the Hb level was remarkably higher in the liver of mice in the model group.In each administration group,the level of HbO2 significantly increased,the level of Hb was significantly decreased,oxygen saturation was significantly increased in the liver of model mice and the accumulation of ICG dye probe was atten-uated in the body after hepatocyte injury.CONCLUSION Ursolic acid can elevate the hepatic oxygen saturation,improve the metabolism of ICG,reduce the degree of hepatic necrosis in mice,and help protect against carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatic injury in mice.The mechanism is probably related to the inhibition of oxidative stress.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between 24-hour urinary calcium (24 h UCa) level and the risk of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), cardiovascular disease (CVD), and all-cause mortality.Methods:In the Chinese Cohort Study of Chronic Kidney Disease, we examined 3 375 patients aged 18-74 years with CKD stages 1-4. Kaplan-Meier survival and Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to test a time-to-event association between levels of 24 h UCa and incidence of ESKD, CVD, and all-cause mortality.Results:During a follow-up of 4.17 (3.37, 5.20) years, 179, 145, 104 and 38 ESKD events occurred in <0.60, 0.60-, 1.20-, ≥2.32 mmol 24 h UCa groups. Higher levels of 24 h UCa (1.20-,≥2.32 mmol) were independently associated with a lower incidence of ESKD events in patients with CKD, with HR (95% CI) of 0.71 (0.54-0.93) and 0.43 (0.29-0.64), respectively. No significant associations with CVD and all-cause mortality endpoints were detected. Conclusion:Among patients with CKD, levels of 24 h UCa displayed an association with the risk of ESKD among patients with CKD stages 1-4.

ObjectiveTo explore the changes in volatile components， total polysaccharides， enzyme activity， and chromaticity value of Myristicae Semen Koji（MSK） during the fermentation process， and conduct correlation analysis. MethodsBased on gas chromatography-mass spectrometry（GC-MS）， the changes of volatile components in MSK at different fermentation times were identified. The phenol sulfuric acid method， dinitrosalicylic acid method（DNS）， and carboxymethyl cellulose sodium salt method（CMC-Na） were used to investigate the total polysaccharide content， amylase activity， and cellulase activity during the fermentation process. Visual analysis technology was used to explore the changes in chromaticity values， revealing the fermentation process of MSK and the dynamic changes of various measurement indicators， partial least squares-discriminant analysis（PLS-DA） was used to explore the differential compounds of MSK at different fermentation degrees， and Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between volatile components of MSK and total polysaccharides， enzyme activity， and chromaticity values. ResultsA total of 60 volatile compounds were identified from MSK， the relative contents of components such as （+）-α-pinene， β-phellandrene， β-pinene， （+）-limonene， and p-cymene obviously increased， while the relative contents of components such as safrole， methyl isoeugenol， methyleugenol， myristicin， and elemicin significantly decreased. During the fermentation process， the total polysaccharide content showed an upward trend， while the activities of amylase and cellulase showed an initial increase followed by a decrease， and reached their maximum value at 40 h. the overall brightness（L^*） and total color difference（ΔE^*） gradually increased， while the changes in red-green value（a^*） and yellow-blue value（b^*） were not obvious. PLS-DA results showed that MSK could be clearly distinguished at different fermentation times， and 13 differential biomarkers were screened out. Pearson correlation analysis results showed that the contents of α-terpinene， β-phellandrene， methyleugenol， β-cubebene and myristic acid had an obvious correlation with chromaticity values. ConclusionAfter fermentation， the volatile components， total polysaccharides， amylase activity， and cellulase activity of MSK undergo significant changes， and there is a clear correlation between them and chromaticity values， which reveals the dynamic changes in the fermentation process and related indicators of MSK， laying a foundation for the quality control.

Integrated elderly care and medical services with characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has unique advantages in improving the sub-health status of the elderly， managing chronic disease， and promoting medical rehabilitation. However， there is currently a lack of research on the actual needs of the elderly for community- and home-based integrated elderly care and medical services with characteristics of TCM. This paper analyzed and measured the demand for community- and home-based integrated elderly care and medical services with characteristics of TCM， constructed an evaluation index system through grounded theory for the community- and home-based integrated elderly care and medical services with characteristics of TCM， consisting of 4 first-level indicators， 11 second-level indicators， and 38 third-level indicators. The analysis network process method was used to obtain the weight of each indicator. This study showed that the demand for service projects of TCM was diverse， with a strong demand for highly professional and specialized technologies； there was a growing demand for popularizing knowledge of integrated elderly care and medical services with characteristics of TCM， with the effectiveness of popularization being the top priority； there was an urgent need to establish and improve a political supervision system， with resources and management being the underlying support needs. Combined with the results of demand analysis， targeted recommendations were proposed， including developing and promoting the projects of integrated elderly care and medical services with TCM， strengthening talent training and discipline integration； optimizing the knowledge popularization process of integrated elderly care and medical services with TCM； as well as establishing and improving the political supervision system and optimizing resource allocation and management.

Coronavirus-related diseases pose a significant challenge to the global health system. Given the diversity of coronaviruses and the unpredictable nature of disease outbreaks, the traditional "one bug, one drug" paradigm struggles to address the growing number of emerging crises. Therefore, there is an urgent need for therapeutic agents with broad-spectrum anti-coronavirus activity. Here, we provide evidence that ATV006, an anti-SARS-CoV-2 nucleoside analog targeting RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), has broad antiviral activity against human and animal coronaviruses. Using mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) and human coronavirus NL63 (HCoV-NL63) as a model, we show that ATV006 has potent prophylactic and therapeutic activity against murine coronavirus infection in vivo. Remarkably, ATV006 successfully inhibits viral replication in mice even when administered 96 h after infection. Due to its oral bioavailability and potency against multiple coronaviruses, ATV006 has the potential to become a useful antiviral agent against SARS-CoV-2 and other circulating and emerging coronaviruses in humans and animals.
