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.

The research and development of innovative drug have progressed remarkably, but the long development circle and high failure rate have become the bottleneck. Drug repurposing, discovering new indications of approved drugs, is a strategy to overcome these obstacles. By exploring new indications for approved drugs, rapid progress has been made in basic research and clinical translation in recent years. Rich resources of drugs, proven security, efficient development workflow and reduced cost are core advantages of this strategy, making the strategy a crucial direction of optimizing the pipeline of drug research and development. This review systematically summarizes drug repurposing cases that have received clinical approval over the past five years, and proposes core strategies for drug repurposing, including approaches based on targets, pathways, drug similarity, post-treatment phenotypes, and clinical side effects, aiming to provide some strategic guidance for drug repurposing efforts.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(1):70-74
Objective:
To understand the impact of childhood trauma on psychological distress among upper grade elemetary school students, and to explore the mediating role of leisure activities in the relationship, so as to provide a basis for developing mental health intervention strategies.
Methods:
From August to November 2024, a combination of convenience sampling and stratified cluster random sampling was employed to recruit 1 373 fourth to sixth grade students from four primary schools in Harbin. The Childhood Trauma Questionnaire(CTQ), a self designed leisure activity scale (including active and passive leisure activities), and the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) were used to assess childhood trauma experiences, leisure activities, and levels of psychological distress. Spearman correlation analysis and linear regression analysis were conducted to explore the relationships among childhood trauma, leisure types, leisure time, and psychological distress. Based on the mediation analysis framework proposed by Hayes (Model 4), the mediating role of leisure types in the relationship between childhood trauma and psychological distress was examined.
Results:
Totally 19.1% of the upper elemetary school students exhibited psychological distress, while 30.2% had experienced childhood trauma. During school days, 64.6% of the students were reported of having leisure time concentrated between 1 and 5 hours per day, whereas 67.4% reported leisure time exceeding 5 hours per day on weekends. After controlling for potential demographic confounders such as gender, grade, ethnicity, household registration, being an only child, parents educational level, co residence, and whether parents are first time married,linear regression analysis showed that childhood trauma experience had positive predictive effect on psychological distress in upper primary school students( β =0.20, P <0.01). Leisure time showed no statistically significant association with psychological distress, both on school days ( β =-0.58 to -0.56) and weekends ( β =0.26- 0.98 )(all P >0.05). Active leisure activities were negatively associated with psychological distress ( β =-0.20), while passive leisure activities were positively associated with psychological distress ( β =0.29)(both P <0.01). Leisure type partially mediated the relationship between childhood trauma and psychological distress, accounting for 11.7% of the indirect effect.
Conclusion
Childhood trauma experiences positively predict psychological distress in upper elementary school students, and affect psychological distress through active leisure and passive leisure.

Objective To study the five-year survival status and influencing factors of elderly patients with lung cancer complicated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods A cohort study was conducted to follow up 450 patients with lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who were hospitalized in our hospital from January 2018 to December 2023. The endpoint of the follow-up was the end of a five-year period or death. The Life Tables method was used to calculate survival rates and plot survival curves. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze the influencing factors of five-year survival. Results The results indicated that the overall five-year survival rate of patients was 4.89%, and it decreased year by year. Cox regression analysis showed that age, gender, family functioning, and psychological status significantly influenced patient survival rate (all P<0.05). Stratified analysis found that the smoking status, family functioning, and psychological status of male patients all had an impact on survival rate (all P<0.05), while the psychological status of female patients had a more significant impact on survival (P=0.008). Conclusion This study provides a scientific basis for comprehensive intervention of elderly lung cancer patients with COPD. It is recommended that clinical attention should be paid to psychological and family factors to improve patient prognosis.

Objective: To address systemic challenges in the blood system, such as supply-demand imbalance, inefficient allocation, and inappropriate clinical use, while bridging gaps in current theories regarding the integration of social mobilization, institutional practice, and policy coordination. It sought to construct a system dynamics model spanning from macro to micro levels to analyze the blood management system holistically. Methods: Key variables were identified by a systematic literature search in both Chinese and English databases. An improved Delphi method was then employed to conduct expert consultations across different fields, leading to the selection and determination of core variable sets for each sub-model. Furthermore, by defining their logical relationships, a system dynamics model was constructed to systematically analyze the operation mechanism of the blood management system. Results: Four core sub-models were developed: 1) A macro "Dynamic Balance" model quantifying regional supply-demand equilibrium and inventory control; 2) a mobilization "Three-Layer Funnel" model analyzing how socio-cultural factors, service channels, and policy incentives influence donation behavior; 3) an institutional "Dual-Cycle Regulation" model revealing hospital blood usage is driven by both disease burden (demand cycle) and management practices (regulation cycle); and 4) an individual "Three-Layer Filter" model standardizing clinical transfusion decisions based on necessity, risk-benefit, and context. These were integrated into a "Multi-Layer Linkage and Feedback" model, elucidating bidirectional interactions among five levels: policy environment, regional supply, blood station mobilization, hospital application, and clinical decision-making. Conclusion: This study constructed a system dynamics model for blood management. By defining key variables and their logical relationships, it systematically analyzes the system′s operational mechanism. The integrated framework connects multiple levels—regional supply, voluntary donation, hospital blood use, and clinical decision-making—revealing their intrinsic linkages. Future efforts should employ systems thinking to synergistically enhance supply-side mobilization, demand-side management, systemic regulation, and decision standardization to build a safe, efficient, and sustainable blood security system.

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.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical efficacy of Qihuang Jianpi Zishen granules in the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE),observe their effects on renal podocyte injury,and decipher related mechanisms. MethodsSixty-two SLE patients with renal damage who met the inclusion criteria and treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Chinese Medicine between November 2022 and July 2024 were selected. They were randomly allocated into a control group and an observation group (31 patients in each group). The control group was treated with oral hydroxychloroquine sulfate,prednisone acetate,and mycophenolate mofetil. The observation group received Qihuang Jianpi Zishen granules orally in addition to the regimen in the control group. After 12 weeks of continuous treatment,the SLE Responder Index-4 (SRI-4) response rate was evaluated for both groups. Comparisons were made between the two groups before and after treatment regarding disease activity scores,traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom scores,kidney-related indicators [serum creatinine (SCr),cystatin C (Cys C),24-hour urine protein quantitation (24 h Pro),urine protein/creatinine ratio (UPCR),and urine albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR)],immune and inflammatory markers [anti-double-stranded DNA antibody,interferon-γ (IFN-γ),and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1)],urinary podocyte injury markers (Nephrin,Podocin,and WT-1),and mRNA levels of apoptosis-related factors (Bax,Bcl-2,and Caspase-3) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Adverse reactions were recorded. ResultsAfter 12 weeks of treatment,the SRI-4 response rate in the observation group was 48.38%(15/31),which was higher than that in the control group 36.66%(11/30). Within-group comparisons showed that after treatment,both groups exhibited decreases in TCM symptom scores,kidney-related indicators (UACR,UPCR,24 h Pro,SCr,and CysC),inflammatory markers (IFN-γ and MCP-1),podocyte injury markers (Nephrin,Podocin,and WT-1),and the mRNA levels of Bax and Caspase-3 (P<0.05,P<0.01) and an increase in the mRNA level of Bcl-2 (P<0.01). After treatment,the observation group showed lower disease activity score,TCM symptom scores,levels of UACR,UPCR,24 h Pro,SCr,IFN-γ,MCP-1,and podocyte injury markers (Nephrin,Podocin,WT-1),and mRNA level of Bax (P<0.05,P<0.01) and higher mRNA level of Bcl-2 (P<0.05) than the control group. No serious adverse reactions occurred during the treatment period. ConclusionQihuang Jianpi Zishen granules can effectively reduce the disease activity,TCM symptoms,proteinuria,podocyte injury,and renal damage in patients with SLE by regulating the immune-inflammatory state,mitigating podocyte injury,and inhibiting cell apoptosis.

Objective:To analyze the salary satisfaction and influencing factors of medical staff in public hospitals in Guangxi under the background of salary system reform, and to provide suggestions for deepening the salary system reform of public hospitals in Guangxi.Methods:From July to December 2022, medical staff from 39 public hospitals that have carried out salary system reform were selected through stratified random sampling, and self-made questionnaires were used to survey them, which mainly included salary, salary expectations and salary satisfaction. Descriptive analysis of the questionnaire data was performed, and binary logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of salary satisfaction.Results:A total of 10 299 valid questionnaires were obtained. 6 869 (66.7%) medical staff had a lower average monthly income after tax than those employed in urban non-private units in Guangxi in that year; 8 100 (78.6%) medical staff expected to be paid 30%~50% higher than the current salary level; 4 073 (39.5%) were satisfied with the overall salary satisfaction, of which 2 377 (23.1%) were satisfied with the salary increase after the reform of the salary system in 2017. The results of multivariate analysis showed that education, hospital type, hospital level, professional title, position and job type were the main influencing factors of salary satisfaction of medical staff ( P<0.05), and hospital level interacted with education, hospital type and job type respectively ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The external competitiveness of the salary of medical staff in Guangxi was insufficient, and the salary satisfaction was not high. It is suggested to pay attention to the inter-embeddedness of the reform of the salary system and the reform of the " three-medical linkage" , pay attention to the balanced development of different levels and types of hospitals, scientifically calculate the value coefficient of different positions, and effectively improve the salary level of medical staff.
