Objective To investigate the public health issues associated with the follow-up outcomes of mental health in elderly community residents with a focus on mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and emotional problems (anxiety and depression), as the burden of various diseases increases with global population growth and aging. Methods In this study, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Early Dementia Screening Scale, Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale, Geriatric Depression Scale, and Activities of Daily Living scale were used to analyze the data on MCI and emotional problems among the elderly in a district of Shanghai, China. The t-test, Spearman correlation analysis, and linear regression analysis were used to identify related protective factors and evaluate the effectiveness of comprehensive intervention measures. Results The first session of intervention led to an improvement in cognitive impairment (P<0.001). During the first session of intervention, exercise and skill training were very effective in improving cognitive impairment (r=0.71 and 0.68, P<0.001), while group instruction and the distribution of educational materials failed to achieve an ideal effectiveness. The second session of intervention also had a significant effect on cognitive impairment (P<0.05); however, the second session of intervention lacked a significant overall effect, and skill training remained the most effective intervention method (Pr=0.0344, P<0.05). The research findings showed that the two sessions of community intervention were protective factors against MCI and depression, while they could not alleviate anxiety. Conclusion This study validates the effectiveness of follow-up intervention measures in improving cognitive function in elderly patients with MCI, which provide scientific prediction and reference for early screening, prediction, and follow-up intervention of elderly dementia and MCI at the community level.

Purpose To investigate the characteristics of 18F-Florbetaben(18F-FBB)β-amyloid(Aβ)PET imaging in different brain regions of Alzheimer's disease(AD)patients with different degrees of cognitive impairment,and to explore the correlation between Aβ deposition and cognitive dysfunction.Materials and Methods A total of eighteen patients with a clinical diagnosis of probable AD from August 2022 to October 2023 were retrospectively included in Huashan Hospital.All patients had Aβ abnormal deposition in the brain as confirmed by 18F-FBB PET imaging.According to the severity of symptoms,they were divided into the AD-induced mild cognitive impairment(MCI)group(8 cases)and the dementia group(10 cases).In addition,12 healthy controls were included.First,the standardized uptake value ratio of abnormal Aβ deposition in the frontal lobe,lateral parietal lobe,lateral temporal lobe,anterior and posterior cingulate gyrus,and compound cortex was semi-quantitatively calculated and compared among the three groups based on the subjects'brain MRI and automated anatomical labeling template.The correlation between the degree of Aβ deposition in the brains of AD patients and cognitive scale scores(mini-mental state examination,Montreal cognitive assessment)was then further analyzed.Results The standardized uptake value ratio values of Aβabnormal deposition in the frontal lobe,lateral temporal lobe,lateral parietal lobe,anterior and posterior cingulate cortex and compound cortex in the AD-induced MCI and dementia groups were significantly higher than those in the healthy controls(t=7.442-9.151,all P<0.05).However,there was no significant difference in the standardized uptake value ratio values of Aβ abnormal deposition in the above brain regions between the MCI and dementia groups(t=0.312-0.996,all P>0.05).In addition,there was no significant correlation between the degree of Aβ deposition in the brain and the cognitive scale scores(mini-mental state examination,Montreal cognitive assessment)in the AD-induced MCI and dementia groups(r=-0.049-0.050,all P>0.05).Conclusion Aβ deposition in the brains of AD-induced MCI and dementia is significantly higher than in the healthy controls.However,Aβ deposition cannot identify AD patients with different degrees of cognitive impairment,reflecting that Aβ deposition has certain limitations in assessing the severity of clinical symptoms of AD.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect and mechanism of Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) on wound healing after anal fistula surgery in rats by regulating the hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α)/vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)/ vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR2) signaling pathway. METHODS SD rats were selected to establish a postoperative rat model of anal fistula by infecting wound with Escherichia coli. The model rats were randomly grouped into model group, PNS low-dose and high-dose groups (15, 30 mg/cm2), high-dose of PNS+2-methoxyestradiol (2ME2) group (PNS 30 mg/cm2+HIF-1α inhibitor 2ME2 4 mg/kg), with 10 rats in each group. Another 10 normal rats were selected for back hair removal treatment as the control group. Each drug group was injected with the corresponding drug solution intramuscularly or (and) intraperitoneally, once a day, for 3 weeks. After the last administration, the wound healing rate (excluding the control group), microvascular density (MVD), the expression of collagen Ⅰ and fibronectin (FN) in the wound tissue were detected in each group; the levels of angiogenic factors [VEGF, E-mail:842710813@qq.com angiopoietin-Ⅰ (Ang-Ⅰ), Ang-Ⅱ] in serum, the levels of inflammatory factors [interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-2] in serum binggui7183@163.com and wound tissue as well as the expressions of the related proteins of HIF-1α/VEGF/VEGFR2 signaling pathway in the wound tissue of rats were also detected in each group. RESULTS The MVD, the expression of collagen Ⅰ and FN in the wound tissue, and the levels of IL-6 and IL-2 in serum and wound tissue of rats increased significantly in the model group, compared to the control group (P<0.05), while the serum levels of VEGF, Ang- Ⅰ and Ang-Ⅱ decreased significantly (P<0.05). The wound healing rate, the MVD in wound tissue, the serum levels of VEGF, Ang-Ⅰ and Ang-Ⅱ, the expressions of collagen Ⅰ and FN in the wound tissue, and protein expressions of HIF-1α, VEGF and VEGFR2 in the PNS low-dose and high-dose groups increased significantly, compared to the model group (P<0.05), while the levels of IL-6 and IL-2 in serum and wound tissue decreased significantly (P<0.05); the high-dose PNS had a stronger effect (P< 0.05). 2ME2 could weaken the effect of PNS on above indicators of rats after anal fistula surgery (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS PNS can promote the production of angiogenic factors and inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory factors, thereby promoting wound healing in rats after anal fistula surgery. The above effects are related to the activation of HIF-1α/VEGF/VEGFR2 signaling pathway.

Objective To systematically analyze the effect of rhythmic physical activity on executive function and sub-components in healthy preschool children. Methods Literature in Chinese and English was retrieved from databases such as CNKI,Wanfang Data,EBSCO,PubMed,Google Scholar and Web of Science for researches about the intervention of rhythmic physical activity for executive function of healthy children aged three to six years,up to October,2024.The methodological quali-ty of the researches was evaluated with PEDro Scale,and data were extracted for a systematic review. Results Ten researches,published between 2019 and 2024,from seven countries,were included;and seven were random-ized controlled trials and three were quasi experiment,involving a total of 1 047 children.The scores of the PE-Dro scale ranged five to eight.The rhythmic physical activity intervention was 20 to 50 minutes a time,one to five times a week,for six to 20 weeks.The forms of rhythmic physical activity intervention included sports activi-ties(street dance,flower ball cheerleading,walking,running,jumping and other motor skill exercises),music teaching activities(music perception,rhythm synchronization and music games),dance activities(creative dance,action imitation and role playing)and music performance activities(body percussion,rhythm sticks,sand balls and drums).Rhythmic physical activity was effective on at least one sub-component of executive function.How-ever,five of the seven researches involving cognitive flexibility failed to demonstrate a positive effect.Six re-searches compared the effects of rhythmic physical activity versus other physical activities,and five found that rhythmic physical activity was more effective on executive function. Conclusion Rhythmic physical activity can improve inhibitory control and working memory in preschool children;but the effect on cognitive flexibility remain controversial.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the safety of family integrated care (FICare) model in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).Methods:Multiple medical databases were searched for clinical studies on FICare in NICU published from January 1, 2010 to May 28, 2022. The quality of the literature was evaluated using Risk?of?Bias?2 tool?and cohort evaluation criteria from the Cochrane Systematic Evaluation Manual depending on the types of studies included. Meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.3 software.Results:Six randomized controlled trials and four cohort studies were included for meta-analysis. The results of meta-analysis showed that compared with the traditional care model, FICare model did not increase the risk of nosocomial infection ( RR=0.75, 95% CI 0.46-1.24, P=0.27) and unstable medical conditions ( RR=0.86, 95% CI 0.61-1.22, P=0.40). No significant difference existed in the all-cause mortality between FICare and traditional care ( RR=2.74, 95% CI 0.88-8.57, P=0.08). Conclusions:FICare does not increase the risk of nosocomial infection, unstable medical conditions and adverse events compared with traditional care. It is safe and feasible to implement FICare in NICU.

Objective:To establish standard spatial brain template and ROIs template of 11C-methyl- N-2β-carbomethoxy-3β-(4-fluorophenyl)tropane (CFT) PET images for automated quantitative analysis of dopamine transporter (DAT) distribution. Methods:From May 2014 to December 2015, 11C-CFT PET and MRI T 1 brain images of 16 healthy volunteers (3 males, 13 females; age (63.3±6.9) years) from Huashan Hospital, Fudan University were co-registered and smoothed using statistical parametric mapping(SPM)5 software based on MATLAB to create a standard spatial brain template. The ROIs template was established by ScAnVp procedures. These templates were clinically verified by using 11C-CFT PET images of 37 healthy volunteers (23 males, 14 females; age (61.7±7.1) years), 32 Parkinson′s disease (PD) patients (20 males, 12 females; age (61.1±5.4) years), 10 multiple system atrophy with predominant parkinsonism (MSA-P) patients (7 males, 3 females; age (60.8±7.1) years) and 10 progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) patients (5 males, 5 females; age (58.4±6.1) years) from Huashan Hospital, Fudan University between January 2014 and March 2019. One-way analysis of variance was used to analyze data. Results:Based on the 11C-CFT PET images and MRI T 1 images of healthy volunteers, a standard spatial brain template for normalization of 11C-CFT PET images was created. The ROIs template was established including seven regions: bilateral caudate, anterior putamen, posterior putamen (along the long axis) and the occipital cortex. The ROIs template was accurately aligned in each verification group. The normal reference values of semi-quantitative DAT distribution in caudate, anterior putamen and posterior putamen were obtained (1.84±0.13, 2.18±0.16, 1.77±0.11). The semi-quantitative values of 11C-CFT uptake in each ROI in patients were significantly lower than those in healthy volunteers ( F values: 49.79-283.83, all P<0.05). Conclusion:The established brain templates with accurate spatial alignment for 11C-CFT image analysis can provide foundational tools for the application of 11C-CFT PET imaging in clinical practice and scientific research.

tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) are novel non-coding RNAs that are involved in the occurrence and progression of diverse diseases. However, their exact presence and function in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain unclear. Here, differentially expressed tsRNAs in HCC were profiled. A novel tsRNA, tRNAGln-TTG derived 5'-tiRNA-Gln, is significantly downregulated, and its expression level is correlated with progression in patients. In HCC cells, 5'-tiRNA-Gln overexpression impaired the proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro and in vivo, while 5'-tiRNA-Gln knockdown yielded opposite results. 5'-tiRNA-Gln exerted its function by binding eukaryotic initiation factor 4A-I (EIF4A1), which unwinds complex RNA secondary structures during translation initiation, causing the partial inhibition of translation. The suppressed downregulated proteins include ARAF, MEK1/2 and STAT3, causing the impaired signaling pathway related to HCC progression. Furthermore, based on the construction of a mutant 5'-tiRNA-Gln, the sequence of forming intramolecular G-quadruplex structure is crucial for 5'-tiRNA-Gln to strongly bind EIF4A1 and repress translation. Clinically, 5'-tiRNA-Gln expression level is negatively correlated with ARAF, MEK1/2, and STAT3 in HCC tissues. Collectively, these findings reveal that 5'-tiRJNA-Gln interacts with EIF4A1 to reduce related mRNA binding through the intramolecular G-quadruplex structure, and this process partially inhibits translation and HCC progression.

Objective:To identify the influencing factors for community elderly health services provided by general practitioners (GPs) using the social ecological theory, for reference in improving their participation and satisfaction.Methods:According to the social ecological theory, an ecological model for GPs to carry out community elderly health services was constructed from four levels: public policy ecology, community health service ecology, interpersonal relationship ecology, and individual characteristics ecology of general practitioners. A survey questionnaire was designed with six latent variables: public health policy support, public health service and basic medical service supply, doctor-patient relationship, individual participation and individual satisfaction. The questionnaire was distributed to 220 GPs from 11 primary healthcare institutions in Jiangsu province, China, who were randomly selected between October and November 2021. Exploratory and confirmatory analyses of the model were conducted using AMOS 25.0.Results:A total of 207 valid questionnaires were collected, and all the KMO values of the six latent variables were greater than 0.7, while the composite reliability values and average variance extracted values greater than 0.7 and 0.5, respectively. Both the reliability and validity of the data met the analysis requirements. Exploratory analysis revealed that public health policy support had a direct positive effect on both public health service and basic medical service supply (both effect sizes being 0.37). Public health service had a direct positive effect on doctor-patient relationship, individual participation and individual satisfaction (effect sizes being 0.52, 0.22, and 0.31, respectively). The direct effect of basic medical service supply on doctor-patient relationship was not significant (effect size being 0.03), but it had a direct positive effect on public health service (effect size being 0.46). Doctor-patient relationship had a direct positive effect on individual participation (effect size being 0.51), but its direct effect on individual satisfaction was not significant (effect size being 0.06). Individual participation had a direct positive effect on individual satisfaction (effect size being 0.52). Conclusions:By optimizing the public policy ecosystem, community health service ecosystem, and interpersonal relationship ecosystem, the participation and satisfaction of general practitioners can be systematically improved.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of music therapy on cognitive function, motor function, and activities of daily living (ADL) of patients with post-stroke cognitive impairment. MethodsFrom December, 2020 to July, 2022, 48 patients with post-stroke cognitive impairment in Beijing Bo'ai Hospital were enrolled and randomly divided into control group (n = 24) and experimental group (n = 24). Both groups received conventional medication, nursing, and conventional rehabilitation, while the experimental group received music therapy additionally, for eight weeks. Before and after intervention, the cognitive function was assessed by Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment (LOTCA), and motor function and ADL were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and modified Barthel Index (MBI), respectively. ResultsSix cases in the control group dropped down. The increase in the scores of LOTCA and FMA was more in the experimental group than in the control group (t > 2.665, P < 0.05), however, no significant difference was found in the increase of MBI score between two groups. ConclusionMusic therapy could improve the cognitive function and motor function of patients with post-stroke cognitive impairment.
