Objective:To investigate the application of time series models in forecasting pre-hospital emergency ambulance trips in Handan City and develop the LPro ensemble model for improved prediction accuracy to support emergency resource allocation.Methods:Pre-hospital emergency data from Handan Emergency Medical Command Center (2019-2023) were retrospectively analyzed. From 324 799 original records, 289 949 valid records were included after cleaning. The training set (2019-2022: 215 918 records) included 35 527 records in 2019, 52 015 in 2020, 61 836 in 2021, and 66 540 in 2022. The validation set (2023) contained 74 031 records. ARIMA, linear trend seasonal, exponential smoothing, and Prophet models were fitted to the training set. The LPro ensemble model was constructed using MAPE-based weighting (linear trend seasonal model: 0.38, Prophet: 0.62). Performance metrics included MAPE, RMSE, MAE, and R 2. Results:Data showed annual growth (compound annual growth rate 23.27%) and seasonal patterns (October peaks, February troughs). Ambulance dispatches increased annually with monthly cyclical patterns. For 2023 validation predictions: ARIMA (MAPE 8.76%, RMSE 619, MAE 491, R 2 0.4563), linear trend seasonal (MAPE 9.83%, RMSE 671, MAE 545, R 2 0.3608), Prophet (MAPE 8.43%, RMSE 562, MAE 503, R 2 0.5513), exponential smoothing (MAPE 8.08%, RMSE 643, MAE 410, R 2 0.4124). LPro model showed superior performance (MAPE 7.05%, RMSE 491, MAE 393, R 2 0.6570), with 16.37% lower MAPE, 12.63% lower RMSE, 21.87% lower MAE, and 19.17% higher R 2 versus Prophet. Conclusion:The LPro ensemble model substantially enhances prediction accuracy and reliability, offering scientific support for emergency resource optimization and dispatch scheduling in Handan City.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects and potential mechanism of paeoniflorin on oxidative stress of ulcerative colitis(UC)mice based on adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase(AMPK)/nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2)pathway.METHODS Male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into control group,model group,inhibitor group(AMPK inhibitor Compound C 20 mg/kg),paeoniflorin low-,medium-and high-dose groups(paeoniflorin 12.5,25,50 mg/kg),high-dose of paeoniflorin+inhibitor group(paeoniflorin 50 mg/kg+Compound C 20 mg/kg),with 8 mice in each group.Except for the control group,mice in all other groups were given 4%dextran sulfate sodium solution for 5 days to establish the UC model.Subsequently,mice in each drug group were given the corresponding drug solution intragastrically or intraperitoneally,once a day,for 7 consecutive days.The changes in body weight of mice were recorded during the experiment.Twenty-four hours after the last administration,colon length,malondialdehyde(MDA)content,and activities of superoxide dismutase(SOD)and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px)in colon tissues were measured;histopathological morphology of colon tissues,tight junctions between intestinal epithelial cells,and histopathological scoring were all observed and evaluated;the mRNA expressions of AMPK and Nrf2,as well as the protein expressions of heme oxygenase-1(HO-1),occludin and claudin-1,were all determined in colon tissue.RESULTS Compared with model group,paeoniflorin groups exhibited recovery from pathological changes such as inflammatory cell infiltration and crypt damage in the colon tissue,as well as improved tight junction damage between intestinal epithelial cells.Additionally,significant increases or upregulations were observed in body weight,colon length,activities of SOD and GSH-Px,phosphorylation level of AMPK,and protein expression of Nrf2,HO-1,occludin,claudin-1,and mRNA expressions of AMPK and Nrf2;concurrently,MDA content and histopathological scores were significantly reduced(P<0.05 or P<0.01).In contrast,the inhibitor group showed comparable(P>0.05)or worse(P<0.05 or P<0.01)indicators compared to the model group.Conversely,the addition of AMPK inhibitor could significantly reverse the improvement of high-dose paconiflorin(P<0.01).CONCLUSIONS Paeoniflorin can repair intestinal epithelial cell damage in mice,improve tight junctions between epithelial cells,upregulate the expression of related proteins,and promote the expression and secretion of antioxidant-promoting molecules,thereby ameliorating UC;its mechanism may be associated with activating AMPK/Nrf2 antioxidant pathway.

With the further development and long-term follow-up of endovascular treatment for aortic diseases, increasing evidence shows that in many cases, there are difficulties in the diagnosis of causes, decision-making of treatment timing, and lack of effective evaluation of treatment prognosis in endovascular treatments. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct in-depth research on non-invasive treatment including prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and prediction of aortic diseases. The non-invasive treatment of aortic disease is mainly applied to high-risk populations with aortic dissection, regulating key targets and mechanisms, and adopting drug intervention in advance to achieve the goal of controlling aortic dilation and preventing the occurrence of dissection. It also conducts precise multi omics analysis to determine the optimal intervention timing and treatment strategy, and aims at complications related to aortic disease or endovascular treatment for patients with a positive family history of aortic dilation and those who have developed aortic dissection. Precise regulation can control the progression of aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection, delay or achieve long-term stable coexistence with aortic disease, and even reverse disease progression and achieve benign aortic remodeling through new intervention vectors. Ultimately achieving the ideal state of complete thrombosis and mechanized healing of the aortic aneurysm or aortic dissection false lumen.

ObjectiveTo explore the protective mechanism of paeoniflorin on mice with ulcerative colitis (UC) through the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) autophagy pathway. MethodUC mouse model was established by allowing mice freely drink 4% DSS, and 56 BALB/c male mice were randomly divided into model group, AMPK inhibitor group (20 mg·kg-1), paeoniflorin (50 mg·kg-1) + inhibitor (20 mg·kg-1) group, and high dose (50 mg·kg-1), medium dose (25 mg·kg-1), and low dose (12.5 mg·kg-1) paeoniflorin groups. After seven days of drug intervention, the protective effect of paeoniflorin on mice with UC was determined by comparing the body weight, disease activity index (DAI) changes, and Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining results. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the serum of mice in each group, and immunofluorescence was utilized to detect microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) content in the colon, AMPK, mTOR proteins, and their phosphorylated proteins including p-AMPK and p-mTOR in the colon tissue were detected by Western blot, and the mRNA expression levels of AMPK, mTOR, Beclin1, LC3, and p62 were detected by Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR). ResultCompared with the blank group, the model group showed a decrease in body mass, an increase in DAI score, and severe pathological damage to the colon. The levels of inflammatory factors including TNF-α and IL-6 increased in serum (P<0.01), while the protein levels of LC3 and p-AMPK/AMPK were down-regulated in colon tissue, and those of p-mTOR/mTOR were up-regulated (P<0.01). The mRNA expression levels of AMPK and LC3 were down-regulated, while the mRNA expression levels of mTOR and p62 were up-regulated (P<0.01). Compared with the model group and the paeoniflorin + inhibitor group, the mice treated with paeoniflorin showed an increase in body mass, a decrease in DAI score, a reduction in pathological damage to colon tissue, and a reduction in the levels of inflammatory factors of TNF-α and IL-6 in serum (P<0.05). The protein levels of LC3 and p-AMPK/AMPK in colon tissue were up-regulated, while the protein levels of p-mTOR/mTOR were down-regulated (P<0.01). The mRNA expression levels of AMPK, Beclin1, and LC3 were up-regulated, while the mRNA expression of mTOR and p62 were down-regulated (P<0.01). The colon tissue of the inhibitor group was severely damaged, and the trend of various indicators was completely opposite to that of the high dose paeoniflorin group. ConclusionPaeoniflorin can enhance autophagy and reduce inflammatory damage in mice with UC by activating the AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway and thus play a protective role.
