Chinese Medical Ethics 2026;39(1):121-128
Community- and home-based elderly care services, as an important service model designed to meet the living and medical needs of the elderly, hold significant importance in improving their quality of life and alleviating the pressure on the traditional healthcare systems through their policies and implementation effects. This paper analyzed the necessity of community- and home-based medical and elderly care services in China, identified primary issues in the implementation of current policies, and explored pathways for system optimization, to build a more efficient and fair service system. It found that the content of the community- and home-based integrated medical and elderly care services lacked breadth and depth, the service quality and effectiveness were poorly assessed, resource investment and allocation efficiency were uneven, and the supervision and policy support were insufficient. Therefore, it was suggested to construct a demand-driven policy framework, optimize resource allocation to shift towards balanced regional coverage, establish a diversified home-based integrated medical and elderly care service system based on demand, and create a sustainable supervision and evaluation mechanism for the implementation effect of integrated medical and elderly care, with a view to providing theoretical support and practical guidance for the reform and optimization of community- and home-based elderly care services policies in China.

Objective To explore the effectiveness of the generative large language model MedGo in nursing decision-making for elderly patients with multimorbidity. Methods A quasi-randomized controlled trial study was conducted involving 6 junior nurses, 6 senior nurses and the MedGo model from January 1, 2025 to March 31, 2025 at the Emergency Internal Medicine Ward of Shanghai East Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University. Clinical data of 120 elderly patients with multimorbidity were analyzed to compare the performance of the three groups in four tasks (nursing diagnosis assessment, nursing intervention formulation, complication identification, and complication prevention) from three evaluation dimensions: decision-making time consumption, decision accuracy, and decision-making quality. Results In terms of decision-making time, the senior nurse group completed all four tasks faster than the junior nurse group (P<0.01), and the MedGo group completed all four tasks faster than the junior nurse group (P<0.001) and the senior nurse group (P<0.001). In terms of decision-making accuracy, senior nurse group scored higher than junior nurse group in all four tasks (P<0.001), while the MedGo group outperformed the senior nurse group only in complication identification (P<0.001). In terms of decision-making quality, the MedGo group scored higher than junior nurse group (P<0.001) and senior nurse group (P<0.001) in all four tasks. Conclusions The MedGo model demonstrates advantages of high efficiency, accuracy, and quality in nursing decision-making for elderly patients with multimorbidity; senior nurses outperform junior nurses in decision-making, providing diverse references for clinical nursing decision-making.

ObjectiveTo analyze the policy texts regarding the inclusion of 44 assisted reproductive medical service projects into basic medical insurance in China and to provide recommendations for the formulation and improvement of subsequent policies. MethodsMethods such as textual analysis, qualitative research, and descriptive statistics were employed. Based on the theory of policy instruments, a two-dimensional analytical framework integrating policy instruments with policy objectives was constructed to systematically examine the current status and existing issues in the inclusion of assisted reproductive medical service projects in basic medical insurance. ResultsDemand-based and environment-based policy instruments were more frequently utilized, accounting for 42.11% and 37.89%, respectively. Supply-based policy instruments accounted for only 20.00%, indicating limited use. In terms of policy objectives, standardized service management constituted the largest proportion (27.65%), whereas integrating service resources accounted for the smallest share (10.00%), showing an imbalanced and insufficient utilization of policy instruments. ConclusionTo better advance and implement the inclusion of assisted reproductive medical service projects in basic medical insurance and foster the construction of a fertility-friendly society, it is essential to strengthen the use of supply-based policy instruments, promote internal structural balance, expand the medical insurance catalog of assisted reproductive technologies, increase reimbursement rates, intensify publicity efforts, formulate scientific planning, establish rigorous qualification evaluations, enhance the synergy of policy instruments, and optimize the structure of policy instruments.

ObjectiveTo analyze the differences in color, odor and volatile components of Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium(CRP) before and after being stir-fried with Halloysitum Rubrum, and to explore the material basis of enhancing the effect of strengthening spleen after processing and the scientific connotation of decoction pieces processed with Halloysitum Rubrum as the auxiliary material. MethodsThe volatile components of the samples before and after processing were identified and relatively quantified by headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(HS-GC-MS), and the volatile components were analyzed by principal component analysis(PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA). According to the principle of variable importance in the projection(VIP) value>1.5, volatile differential components before and after processing were screened. And combined with intelligent sensory technologies such as colorimeter and electronic nose, the chroma and odor information of CRP before and after being stir-fried with Halloysitum Rubrum were identified. Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between volatile differential components and chroma values. ResultsA total of 112 volatile components were identified from CRP and CRP stir-fried with Halloysitum Rubrum, of which 84 were from CRP and 97 were from CRP stir-fried with Halloysitum Rubrum. And 7 differential components were selected, including α-pinene, β-myrcene, linalool, sabinene, ocimene isomer mixture, A-ocimene, and δ-elemene. After being processed with Halloysitum Rubrum, the brightness value(L*), yellow-blue value(b*) and total chromatic value(E*ab) of CRP were decreased(P<0.01), and red-green value(a*) was increased(P<0.01), the response values of S4, S5, S10 and S13 sensors were significantly increased(P<0.05), and the response values of S3 and S8 sensors were significantly decreased(P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that α-pinene and β-myrcene were negatively correlated with L* and E*ab, but positively correlated with a*. Sabinene was positively correlated with L* and E*ab. Linalool was positively correlated with L* and E*ab, and negatively correlated with a*. The ocimene isomer mixture was positively correlated with the L*. ConclusionAfter being processed with Halloysitum Rubrum, the appearance color, odor and volatile components of CRP change significantly, and α-pinene, β-myrcene, sabinene, linalool and A-ocimene are the characteristic volatile components before and after processing, which can provide references for the quality evaluation and clinical application of CRP and its processed products.

By consulting relevant literature of ancient herbal books and processing specifications, this paper made a systematic research and analysis of Ostreae Concha, including the name, producing area, harvesting, quality, historical evolution of processing, relevant processing specifications, modern processing technology, and changes in chemical composition and pharmacological effects before and after processing, in order to provide documentary evidence for the research on processing technology and the establishment of quality standards. According to the textual research, it is known that Ostreae Concha has a long history of being used in medicine, and there have been many aliases and local names in each historical period. Shennong's Classic of the Materia Medica(Shennong Bencaojing) began to use Muli as the correct name, which has continued to use to today, and there were also aliases such as Muge, Zuogu Muli and Haoke. Ostreae Concha has a wide range of localities and irregular harvesting periods. The ancients believed that its left shell was of superior quality, but this has not been seen in modern. And there were many kinds of processing methods of Ostreae Concha, such as grinding, roasting, calcining, frying, simmering, quenching and so on, and the calcining was still in use. The different editions of Chinese Pharmacopoeia from 1963 to 2020 contain only calcined Ostreae Concha, and the local processing specifications mainly include three kinds of processed products(calcined products, salt-soaked products and vinegar-soaked products). Modern processing research mainly focuses on process optimization, changes in chemical composition and pharmacological effects, and the research methods are relatively single. Overall, there are currently issues such as inconsistent processing standards, unclear process parameters and imperfect quality standards, which are not conducive to the quality control and standardized clinical use of Ostreae Concha. Therefore, it is necessary to further investigate the pharmacological substance basis of Ostreae Concha and its processed products in order to elucidate the processing mechanism, standardize the processing technology and improve the quality standard.

Objective:To investigate the mechanism of ursolic acid (UA) in inhibiting the growth and metastasis of breast cancer MDA-MB-231 (“231”) cells by downregulating ANXA6.Methods:This study conducted relevant in vitro cytology and molecular biology experiments in the Department of Clinical Laboratory and Central Laboratory of Putuo Hospital, Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from February 2023 to August 2024. Human breast cancer 231 cells were cultured in vitro, and the effects of different concentrations of UA on the proliferation and invasion and metastasis of 231 cells were detected by CCK-8 and Transwell assays. Western Blot was used to detect the effect of UA on the expression of ANXA6 and invasion and metastasis-related proteins MMP9, β-catenin and N-cadherin in 231 cells. The 231 cells that interfered with and overexpressed ANXA6 were constructed by lentivirus transfection to generate stable ANXA6 interfering and overexpressing 231 cells, which were divided into 231/KD-ANXA6 group, 231/KD-NC group, 231/OE-ANXA6 group, and 231/OE-NC group. CCK-8 assay and Transwell assay were used to detect the proliferation activity, invasion and metastasis ability of 231 cells after interference and overexpression of ANXA6 and the effect of UA on the proliferation ability of 231 cells after interference and overexpression of ANXA6. Western Blot and RT-PCR assays were used to detect the expression of invasion and migration biomarkers such as MMP9, β-catenin, and N-cadherin in 231 cells after interference and overexpression of ANXA6. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression level of ANXA6 in breast cancer tissues, and the relationship between ANXA6 expression and clinicopathological features and prognosis of breast cancer was analyzed.Results:The CCK-8 assay results showed that compared with the control group (0 μmol/L UA, 100.00%±7.37%), the proliferative activity of 231 cells at UA concentrations of 2.5, 5, 10, 20 and 40 μmol/L (90.23%±1.76%, t=2.24, P<0.05; 85.19%±4.23%, t=3.02, P<0.05; 65.45%±0.35%, t=8.11, P<0.01; 37.79%±0.98%, t=14.50, P<0.001; 18.18%±0.15%, t=19.23, P<0.001) were significantly decreased. Furthermore, UA (10, 15, 20 μmol/L) inhibited the invasion and metastasis ability of 231 cells; Western Blot assay showed that compared with the control group (0 μmol/L UA), the protein expressions of MMP9 (1.07±0.03 vs 0.99±0.11, t=1.27, P>0.05), β-catenin (1.21±0.01 vs 0.99±0.07, t=5.47, P<0.05), N-cadherin (1.05±0.09 vs 0.90±0.03, t=2.65, P>0.05) at UA of 10 μmol/L; MMP9 (1.07±0.03 vs 0.79±0.09, t=5.26, P<0.001), β-catenin (1.21±0.01 vs 0.89±0.05, t=10.55, P<0.001), and N-cadherin (1.04±0.09 vs 0.68±0.10, t=4.59, P<0.05) at UA of 15 μmol/L; MMP9 (1.07±0.03 vs 0.52±0.07, t=12.50, P<0.001), β-catenin (1.21±0.01 vs 0.83±0.02, t=24.01, P<0.000 1) and N-cadherin (1.04±0.09 vs 0.49±0.11, t=6.70, P<0.01) at UA of 20 μmol/L. Interfering with ANXA6 inhibits the proliferation, invasion and migration of 231 cells, and overexpression of ANXA6 promotes the proliferation, invasion and migration of 231 cells. Western Blot assay showed that compared with the control group (KD-NC group), the protein expressions of MMP9 (1.07±0.01 vs 0.62±0.16, t=4.86, P<0.01), β-catenin (1.02±0.14 vs 0.64±0.15, t=3.20, P<0.05), N-cadherin (0.98±0.14 vs 0.67±0.12, t=2.85, P<0.05) were decreased expression; Compared with the control group (OE-NC group), the protein expressions of MMP9 (0.54±0.22 vs 1.06±0.08, t=3.90, P<0.05), β-catenin (0.92±0.07 vs 1.06±0.04, t=3.06, P<0.05) and N-cadherin (0.90±0.07 vs 1.06±0.01, t=3.75, P<0.05) were significantly increased. Interference with ANXA6 promoted the inhibitory effect of UA on the proliferation ability of 231 cells ( P<0.05). Overexpression of ANXA6 weakened the inhibitory effect of UA on the proliferation of 231 cells ( P<0.05).The results of immunohistochemistry assay showed that the expression level of ANXA6 in breast cancer tissue was significantly increased, and the expression of ANXA6 was related to tumor size ( P<0.05), but not to age, T stage, N stage, pathological grade, AJCC stage, ER, PR and E-cad. Conclusion:The expression level of ANXA6 in breast cancer tissues is increased, and UA can inhibit the growth, invasion and metastasis of 231 cells by down-regulating the expression of ANXA6.
