BackgroundIndividuals with schizophrenia are prone to higher rates of hospital readmission, presenting significant clinical challenges and imposing considerable social burdens within the mental health domain. In recent years, various risk prediction models have been developed to forecast readmission in patients with schizophrenia and support clinical decision-making, but their predictive performance and clinical applicability require comprehensive evaluation. ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the risk prediction models for readmission in patients with schizophrenia, so as to provide insights for the development of high-performance and highly applicable readmission risk prediction models for patients with schizophrenia. MethodsOn July 5, 2025, a systematic literature search was conducted across multiple electronic databases, including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CINAHL, CNKI, China Biomedical Literature Database, Wanfang Database, and VIP Database, to identify risk prediction models for readmission in patients with schizophrenia. The search period was from the establishment of the databases to July 1, 2025. Two researchers independently performed literature screening, data extraction, risk of bias assessment, and applicability assessment. ResultsA total of 9 studies were included in this review, encompassing 18 risk prediction models for readmission in patients with schizophrenia. Among them, 4 models reported the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC), ranging from 0.734 to 0.820, 16 models provided AUC values of 0.642–0.879 for internal validation, and 1 model demonstrated an AUC of 0.841 for external validation. Key predictors included disease duration and the concomitant therapy of antipsychotic medications. The risk of bias was assessed as "high" in all included studies. ConclusionThe development of risk prediction models for readmission in patients with schizophrenia remains in an exploratory stage. Although the model exhibits favorable predictive performance, it is associated with a high risk of bias and insufficient performance evaluation.

ObjectiveTo investigate whether modified Taohe Chengqitang (JTCT) treats liver fibrosis by inhibiting hepatic sinusoidal capillarization, and to verify whether its specific mechanism is related to the Homologous genes responsible for the notches along the edges of Drosophila wings(Notch) signaling pathway and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) signaling pathway. MethodsFifty C57BL/6 mice were randomized into 5 groups: Control, model (5 mL·kg-1·3 d-1), low-dose JTCT, medium-dose JTCT, and high-dose JTCT (JTCT-L,JTCT-M,JTCT-H). Except the control group, the other groups were intraperitoneally injected with 20% carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) olive oil solution every 3 days for 4 weeks to induce liver fibrosis. Meanwhile, JTCT-L, JTCT-M, and JTCT-H groups were administrated with JTCT by gavage at doses of 16.6, 33.3, and 66.6 g·kg-1·d-1, respectively, for 4 consecutive weeks (the control and model groups received equal volumes of normal saline by gavage). Primary liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) were isolated from rat livers through in situ perfusion of collagenase, Percoll density gradient centrifugation, and selective removal of Kupffer cells. After verification of cell phenotype, LSECs were used for experiments. For cells at the logarithmic growth phase, the small interfering RNA(siRNA) kit was used to knock down the expression of soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) through transient transfection. Subsequently, the Notch agonist Jagged-1 was applied. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) was used to examine the cytotoxicity of JTCT on LSECs. Real-time PCR and Western blot were employed to measure the expression of molecules in the Notch and eNOS signaling pathways at mRNA and protein levels, respectively. Intracellular Ca2+ was labeled with the fluorescent probe Fluo-4 acetoxymethyl ester(Fluo-4/AM). ResultsThe animal experiment showed that compared with the control group, the model group exhibited hepatic steatosis, inflammatory cell infiltration, hepatocyte degeneration and necrosis, lobular structural disorder, and fibrous tissue hyperplasia in the mouse liver tissue, significantly elevated serum levels of hydroxyproline (Hyp), alanine transaminase (ALT), and aspartate transaminase (AST) (P<0.01), significantly upregulated expression levels of Notch1, Hes family bHLH transcription factor 1(Hes1), Cluster of Differentiation 31(CD31), and von Willebrand factor(vWF) (P<0.01), and significantly downregulated phosphorylate(p)-eNOS/eNOS ratio and sGC expression (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, all the JTCT groups showed significantly reduced serum Hyp, ALT, and AST levels (P<0.01), downregulated expression of Notch1, Hes1, CD31, and vWF (P<0.05, P<0.01), and upregulated p-eNOS/eNOS ratio and sGC expression (P<0.05, P<0.01) in the liver tissue, with the JTCT-H group showing the most significant changes (P<0.01). The cell experiment showed that compared with the LSEC-1day group, the LSEC-5day group exhibited significantly increased expression of Notch1, Hes1, CD31, and vWF (P<0.01), significantly decreased p-eNOS/eNOS ratio and sGC expression (P<0.01), and elevated intracellular Ca2+ concentration (P<0.01). Compared with the LSEC-5day group, the JTCT group showed decreased expression of Notch1, Hes1, CD31, and vWF (P<0.01), significantly increased p-eNOS/eNOS ratio (P<0.01), and significantly reduced intracellular Ca2+ concentration (P<0.01). No significant differences were observed in the expression of Notch1, Hes1, eNOS, p-eNOS, CD31, vWF, sGC, or intracellular Ca2+ concentration between the Jagged1 group and the Jagged1+JTCT group. Compared with the LSEC-5day group, the sGC knockout group (sGC-KO) showed significantly increased expression of CD31 and vWF (P<0.01). There was no significant difference in CD31 or vWF expression between the sGC-KO group and the sGC-KO+JTCT group. ConclusionJTCT inhibits the activation of the Notch signaling pathway and restores the activity of the eNOS signaling pathway to suppress sinusoidal capillarization of LSECs, thereby treating liver fibrosis.

Enhancing medical humanistic care has become an important management issue for the high-quality development of the healthcare sector. The actions and processes of medical humanistic care represent the result of mutual selection and negotiation between the contextual system and the subject. Therefore, it is necessary to explain the deep mechanisms of the mismatch between the concept and actions through both the macro and micro levels. The structural contradictions, such as the disconnection between medical humanities education theory and practice, the alienation of medical evaluation mechanisms, and the imbalance in resource allocation, as well as the subjective obstacles, such as technical rationality and parametrization of diseases, insufficient understanding of humanistic care by medical professionals, and their cognitive deviations in realizing self-identity, jointly influence the specific practice of medical humanistic care actions. Modern medicine emphasizes patient-centeredness. Thus, it is essential to collaboratively realize medical humanistic care that unifies knowledge and actions through the coupled development of education training and clinical practice, the dual orientation of evaluation systems and institutional incentives, the dynamic balance of resource allocation and demand response, and the symbiotic evolution of individual professional identity and value rationality.

Objective:This study aims to investigate the relationship between plague epidemics and environmental factors in Lincang City.Methods:Epidemiological survey data and environmental factors (including altitude, temperature, rainfall, and season) from plague occurrence sites in Lincang City from 1990 to 2020 were collected from Lincang Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the data sharing platform of the data sharing service network of the China Meteorological Administration, and analyzed using multiple correspondence analysis (MCA).Results:From 1990 to 2005, a total of 38 outbreaks of plague among rodents had been reported, 17 of which involved human beings. Since 2006, the plague had entered a dormant period, with no further epidemics reported up to 2020. The plague epidemic in Lincang City exhibited a clear seasonal variation, with the primary epidemic season occurred from autumn to early winter, peaking in September and October. Furthermore, the plague epidemic in Lincang City exhibited a pronounced spatial aggregation, with the primary affected regions including Linxiang County, Gengma Dai and Va Autonomous County, Zhenkang County, and Yun County. MCA showed that the Cronbach' α coefficients of all variables in the first and second dimensions were 0.87 and 0.82, respectively, and the characteristic roots were 3.27 and 2.91, respectively. The cumulative contribution rate of the two dimensions was 84.60%. Plague outbreaks were more likely in winter in areas at altitudes of > 1 400 - 1 650 m with 1 000 - 1 200 mm average annual rainfall and 16.0 - 17.9 ℃ average annual temperature, with increased severity. Regions at altitudes of > 500 - 700 m and > 900 - 1 150 m, with average annual rainfall of < 1 000, 1 201 - 1 400 and > 1 600 mm and average annual temperature of 18.0 - 19.9 ℃, showed a higher susceptibility to plague outbreaks, with notably pronounced incidences.Conclusions:The prevalence of plague epidemics is closely related to the local climatic conditions of natural foci in Lincang City. Therefore, it is imperative to enhance the monitoring of these climatic conditions, particularly meteorological data, to facilitate more effective prevention and control of plague outbreaks.
