ObjectiveTo develop a community-family management model for older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and to formulate detailed application specifications, and to fully leverage the initiative of communities and families under limited resource conditions, for achieving community-based early detection and early intervention for older adults with MCI. MethodsA systematic literature review was conducted to identify pertinent publications. Corpus-based research methodologies were employed to extract, refine, integrate and synthesize management elements, thereby establishing the specific content and service processes for each stage of the management model. Utilizing the 5W2H analytical framework, essential elements such as management stakeholders, target populations, content and methods for each stage were delineated. The model and its application guidelines were finalized through expert consultation and demonstration. ResultsAn expert evaluation of the management model yielded mean scores of 4.84, 4.32 and 4.84 for acceptability, feasibility and systematicity, respectively. By integrating the identified core elements with expert ratings and feedback, the final iteration of the community-family management model for older adults with MCI was formulated. This model comprised of five stages: screening and identification, comprehensive assessment, intervention planning, monitoring and referral pathways to ensure implementation, and enhanced support for communities, family members and caregivers. Additionally, it included 18 specific application guidelines. ConclusionThe proposed management model may theoretically help delay cognitive decline, improve cognitive function and potentially promote reversal from MCI to normal cognition. It may also enhance the awareness and coping capacity of older adults and their families, strengthen community healthcare professionals' ability to early identify and manage MCI.

Objective To analyze the unexamined items and situations in occupational health examinations of radiation workers, and provide a reference for the revision of occupational health examination standards for radiation workers. Methods A total of 29 630 radiation workers who underwent occupational health examinations at The Third People’s Hospital of Henan Province in 2023 were selected, and the non-examination rates were statistically analyzed according to occupation, gender, and age. Results The overall non-examination rate of non-medical radiation workers was significantly lower than that of the medical radiation workers (P<0.05). The non-examination rate of chest X-rays among medical radiation workers was significantly higher than that of non-medical radiation workers (P<0.05), while no significant differences were found in other items (P>0.05). Gender-stratified analysis showed that the non-examination rate of routine urine tests was higher in females than in males in both medical and non-medical radiation workers (P<0.05). Age-stratified analysis revealed no significant differences in non-examination rates among different age groups in non-medical radiation workers (P>0.05), whereas the chest X-ray non-examination rate was relatively high in medical radiation workers under 30 years old (P<0.05). Conclusion Significant differences were observed in the non-examination rates of occupational health examinations among radiation workers based on occupation, gender, and age. The overall non-examination rate was relatively low in non-medical radiation workers.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy of acupuncture in the treatment of adolescent depression and to explore its potential mechanisms based on functional magnetic resonance imaging （fMRI） and serum proteomics. MethodsA randomized， double-blind， sham acupuncture-controlled trial design was conducted. A total of 100 adolescents with depression were enrolled and randomly assigned to an acupuncture group and a sham acupuncture group， with 50 participants in each group. In addition， 20 healthy subjects were recruited as healthy controls. Participants in the acupuncture group received acupuncture at Baihui （GV 20）， Yintang （GV 29）， Zhongwan （CV 12）， Qihai （CV 6）， bilateral Tianshu （ST 25）， bilateral Neiguan （PC 6）， bilateral Zusanli （ST 36）， and bilateral Taichong （LR3）. The sham acupuncture group received intervention using a blunt placebo needle without skin penetration. Both groups received 30-min treatments three times per week for 4 weeks. The primary outcome was the reduction rate of the 24-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale （HAMD-24） score. Secondary outcomes included changes in HAMD-24 scores before and after treatment， covering nine factors （anxiety/somatization， cognitive impairment， sleep disturbance， psychomotor retardation， hopelessness， fatigue， weight change， diurnal mood variation， and suicidal ideation）， response rate and remission rate after treatment， and symptom severity before and after treatment. Subgroup analyses of total HAMD-24 scores were performed according to concomitant medication use and the number of medications taken. During the study period， all adverse events were monitored and recorded to evaluate safety. Patients who volunteered and met the eligibility criteria for imaging examinations were selected to undergo brain fMRI scanning and serum proteomic analysis to investigate changes in functional connectivity among brain regions and differential proteins. ResultsA total of 49 participants in the acupuncture group and 50 participants in the sham acupuncture group were included in the efficacy analysis. Among them， 20 participants in the acupuncture group and 21 in the sham acupuncture group completed fMRI scans， while 19 participants in the acupuncture group and 21 in the sham acupuncture group completed serum proteomic analyses. After 4 weeks of treatment， the mean reduction rate of HAMD-24 score in the acupuncture group was significantly higher than that in the sham acupuncture group ［（58±24）% vs.（26±19）%， P＜0.01］. Compared to baseline， scores for anxiety/somatization， cognitive impairment， psychomotor retardation， and hopelessness， and the total HAMD-24 score significantly decreased in both groups. In addition， the acupuncture group showed significant reductions in sleep disturbance， fatigue， and suicidal ideation scores （P＜0.01）. After treatment， the response rate and remission rate were 67.35% （33/49） and 24.48% （12/49） in the acupuncture group， respectively， significantly higher than 6.00% （3/50） and 0 in the sham acupuncture group （P＜0.01）. The proportion of participants with moderate symptoms was lower， whereas the proportion with mild symptoms was higher in the acupuncture group than the sham acupuncture group （P＜0.01）. Among those receiving acupuncture alone， acupuncture combined with medication， or fewer than three medications， the total HAMD-24 scores decreased after treatment in both the acupuncture subgroup and the sham acupuncture subgroup， with significantly lower scores in the acupuncture subgroup （P＜0.01）. During the study period， four mild adverse events were reported， including one case in the acupuncture group and three cases in the sham acupuncture group； none of these events affected the continuation of treatment. fMRI results showed that acupuncture enhanced functional connectivity between the prefrontal cortex and cerebellar-limbic system-related brain regions. Proteomic analysis identified 24 differentially expressed proteins associated with acupuncture treatment， mainly enriched in pathways related to neuroinflammation and energy metabolism. ConclusionAcupuncture can significantly improve depressive symptoms in adolescents with depression. Its therapeutic effects may be achieved by modulating emotion-related brain networks and regulating pathways associated with neuroinflammation and energy metabolism.

Objective·To investigate the effects and molecular mechanisms of phosphatidylethanolamine(PE)on macrophage senescence and its senescence-associated secretory phenotype(SASP),as well as its pathophysiological role in liver injury.Methods·A macrophage senescence model was established using doxorubicin(DOX),followed by PE treatment.A mouse liver injury model was generated via intraperitoneal co-administration of PE and lipopolysaccharide(LPS)to investigate the effects of PE on liver injury.Senescence markers and SASP factors,including senescence-associated β-galactosidase(SA-β-gal),cell cycle inhibitor p21,tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),and interleukin-6(IL-6),were evaluated using SA-β-gal staining,quantitative real-time PCR,and Western blotting.RNA sequencing(RNA-seq)was performed,followed by Gene Ontology(GO)cellular component enrichment analysis,Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)enrichment analysis,Gene Set Variation Analysis(GSVA),and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis(GSEA),to explore the molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways by which PE promotes macrophage senescence.The expression of endoplasmic reticulum(ER)stress-related proteins,including inositol-requiring enzyme 1 α(IRE1α),spliced X-box binding protein 1(XBP1s),activating transcription factor 6(ATF6),ATF4,and C/EBP homologous protein(CHOP),was analyzed through in vivo and in vitro experiments.Results·PE significantly promoted the expression of senescence markers SA-β-gal,p21,p16 and SASP factors.RNA-seq analysis revealed that ER stress was involved in PE-induced promotion of SASP.Further experiments demonstrated that PE activated the ER stress signaling pathway,promoting macrophage senescence and the expression of SASP factors.In vivo experiments further confirmed that PE exacerbated LPS-induced liver injury in mice through ER stress.Conclusion·PE promotes macrophage senescence and the expression of SASP factors by activating ER stress signaling pathway,thereby aggravating LPS-induced liver injury.

Objective To develop a toolkit suitable for assisting community health institutions in the early identification and inter-vention of mild cognitive impairment(MCI)among older adults.Methods A literature review was conducted to construct a draft of the identification and intervention toolkit.Tools with an expert approval rate above 70%were included after expert consultation.The final version of the toolkit was developed by integrating these tools with officially recommended tools in China.Results The expert consultation yielded an authority coefficient of 0.84.The finalized toolkit included the assessment tools of Mini-Mental State Examination,Montreal Cognitive Assessment,General Practitioner Assessment of Cognition,Cognitive Abilities Screening Instrument and Clock Drawing Test,and 18 intervention measures in-cluding pharmacological treatment,cognitive training and psychological interventions,etc.Conclusion The MCI Identification-Intervention Toolkit may serve as a reference for guiding the identification and inter-vention of MCI among older adults for community health institutions.

Objective To analyze the prevalence and risk factors of underscreening among cervical cancer screening participants in Wuxiang County,Shanxi Province in 2019,providing evidence-based support for optimizing mobilization strategies.Methods Data from cervical cancer screening programs conducted between 2019 and 2024 in Wuxiang County were retrospectively collected.The follow-up screening behaviors of women screened in 2019 were analyzed,and factors associated with underscreening were identified.Results A total of 3759 women underwent cervical cancer screening in 2019.Among them,492 women(13.09％)with abnormal primary screening results requiring follow-up in 12 months,yet only 43(8.74％)completed;2154 women(57.30％)with negative liquid-based cytology testing(LCT)results needed re-screening after 3 years,701(32.54％)completed;1113 women(29.61％)with negative HPV/combined results needed re-screening after 5 years,734(65.95％)completed.Overall,2299 women(60.69％)exhibited underscreening.Multivariate analysis showed that underscreening was more likely among community residents than rural residents(OR=2.309,P=0.018),older women(OR=1.065,P＜0.001),those in organized screening compared to opportunistic screening(OR=3.789,P＜0.001),those undergoing LCT(OR=4.607,P＜0.001)or combined screening instead of human papillomavirus testing(OR=3.624,P＜0.001),and those with abnormal screening results(OR=6.859,P＜0.001).Conclusion Substantial proportions of cervical cancer screening participants demonstrate poor adherence to guideline-recommended screening intervals,and particularly need to focus on older women and those with abnormal screening results.Implementation of electronic screening record systems and emphasizing knowledge of periodical screening in health education could enhance compliance with"70％screening coverage"target for cervical cancer prevention.

Objective To investigate the effect of indigo on inflammatory factors and the aryl hydrocarbon receptor(AhR)/NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3(NLRP3)signaling pathway in lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced keratinocytes(HaCaT cells).Methods An LPS-induced HaCaT cell model was established,and experimental groups were set as follows:blank group,model group,indigo group,AhR agonist(2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin,TCDD)group,AhR inhibitor(CH-223191)group,and indigo+AhR inhibitor group.The Cell Counting Kit-8(CCK-8)assay was used to detect the effects of different concentrations of indigo,TCDD,and CH-223191 on HaCaT cell viability after 24 hours of intervention.Quantitative real-time PCR(qPCR)was employed to measure the mRNA expression levels of interleukin-1β(IL-1β),nuclear factor kappa B(NF-κB),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),AhR,cytochrome P450 family 1 subfamily A member 1(CYP1A1),NLRP3,Caspase-1,and apoptosis-associated speck-like protein(ASC)in each group.Western Blot analysis was used to assess changes in the cellular localization of AhR protein expression.Results(1)The IC50 of indigo intervention in HaCaT cells was 118.7 μmol·L-1.Treatment with different concentrations of CH-223191 and TCDD for 24 hours had no significant effect on HaCaT cell viability.(2)Compared with the model group,the indigo group showed decreased mRNA expression levels of IL-1β,NF-κB,NLRP3,and Caspase-1(P＜0.05 or P＜0.000 1),while the mRNA expression levels of AhR and CYP1A1 were significantly increased(P＜0.05 or P＜0.000 1).(3)Compared with the blank group,the indigo group reduced cytoplasmic AhR protein expression and increased nuclear AhR protein expression(P＜0.001 or P＜0.000 1).(4)Compared with the model group,both the indigo group and the AhR agonist group significantly increased AhR mRNA expression levels(P＜0.05),while the AhR inhibitor group decreased AhR and CYP1A1 mRNA expression levels(P＜0.05)and increased IL-1β and NLRP3 mRNA expression levels(P＜0.05).(5)Compared with the AhR inhibitor group,the indigo+AhR inhibitor group showed increased mRNA expression levels of AhR and CYP1A1(P＜0.05)and decreased mRNA expression levels of NLRP3,Caspase-1,and IL-1β(P＜0.05).Conclusion Indigo reduces inflammatory factors in LPS-induced HaCaT cells and participates in inhibiting the occurrence and development of psoriasis by activating AhR to negatively regulate the NLRP3 inflammasome.

Objective:To analyze the latent prevalence of hepatitis B and type 2 diabetes and their correlation through an observational study.Methods:This study used a case-control design. The cases with diabetes were recruited through the diabetes management system and village doctors, while the controls without diabetes were screened from volunteers recruited by village health clinics. Capillary blood samples were collected from the study participants for the measurement of real-time blood glucose level, and venous blood samples were taken from them for the detections of HBV serological markers. Firth logistic regression model was used to fit the relationship between HBsAg positive status and diabetes status.Results:The study included 1 218 diabetes patients, 62 patients with impaired fasting glucose and 491 cases without diabetes. In the cases without diagnosis of diabetes, 11.15% had impaired fasting blood glucose and 4.43% had diabetes. Among those who reported no or unknown diagnosis of hepatitis B, 1.73% were positive for HBsAg, while 18.80% were positive for both HBV core antibody and surface antibody, indicating latent infection of hepatitis B virus. In the non-diabetes group, 0.81% reported hepatitis B history, and in the diabetes group, 2.76% reported hepatitis B history. After adjustment, the HBsAg positive rate was higher in the diabetes group ( OR=2.90, 95% CI: 1.21-6.91). Conclusions:Both diabetes and hepatitis B exhibited a high degree of latent prevalence. The HBsAg positive rate was significantly higher in those with diabetes than in those without diabetes, indicating a potential correlation. These findings highlighted the importance of strengthened screening and management of comorbidities.
