BACKGROUND:With advancements in stem cell research,the therapeutic efficacy of adult stem cells such as endothelial progenitor cells and mesenchymal stem cells in atherosclerosis and complications arising from atherosclerosis and vascular stent implantation is gradually being recognized.Due to the limitations of intravenous infusion of adult stem cells,including poor targeting and low treatment efficiency,recent research has focused on surface modification of vascular stents to achieve localized aggregation and functional modulation of endothelial progenitor cells or mesenchymal stem cells. OBJECTIVE:To discuss the therapeutic progress of endothelial progenitor cells and mesenchymal stem cells in vascular stent-related diseases,summarize the research status of the design of vascular stents based on endothelial progenitor cells and mesenchymal stem cells. METHODS:Relevant literature was retrieved on CNKI,WanFang,PubMed,and Web of Science databases since their inception.The Chinese search terms were"endothelial injury,stenting,thrombosis,intimal hyperplasia,atherosclerosis,endothelial repair,endothelial progenitor cell,mesenchymal stem cell,vascular stent."English search terms were"endothelial injury,stenting,thrombosis,intimal hyperplasia,atherosclerosis,endothelial repair,endothelial regeneration,endothelial progenitor cell,mesenchymal stem cell,vascular stent,vascular scaffold."According to inclusion and exclusion criteria,127 articles were finally reviewed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Endothelial progenitor cells and mesenchymal stem cells can treat atherosclerosis and complications of stent implantation through differentiation and paracrine effects,mainly by protecting endothelial cells,regulating the expression of inflammatory cells and cytokines,and modulating smooth muscle cell proliferation and phenotype.Mesenchymal stem cells may have adverse reactions such as thrombosis and vascular calcification in therapeutic applications,and using extracellular vesicles and co-administration with heparin for surface modification is a feasible solution.Currently,there is more research on stents based on endothelial progenitor cells,mainly focusing on recruitment,capture,proliferation,differentiation,and activity.Research on stents based on mesenchymal stem cell capture in the vascular field is relatively scarce,but exosome-loaded stents derived from mesenchymal stem cells have been found to have highly effective therapeutic efficacy.Additionally,some underlying diseases such as diabetes may affect the activity of adult stem cells,leading to the loss of effectiveness in stem cell-based stent designs.Therefore,in future stent designs,consideration should be given to the background diseases.

To summarise the clinical experience of Professor TONG Xiaolin in treating prediabetes combined with overweight or obesity using the method of relieving depression and reducing turbidity. It is believed that prediabetes belongs to the category of "spleen-heat syndrome" in traditional Chinese medicine， and its core pathogenesis is center fullness with internal heat， while obesity is the initiating factor for exacerbating center fullness and internal heat， therefore， it is of great significance to reduce the risk of diabetes by interrupting the transformation between overweight， obesity and glucose metabolism abnormality. It is proposed that the main pathogenesis of prediabetes combined with overweight or obesity is qi depression and turbidity obstruction in middle jiao， with qi depression as the root and turbidity obstruction as the cause， forming a treatment idea with the method of relieving depression and reducing turbidity as the core. In clinic， Dahuang Huanglian Xiexin Decoction （大黄黄连泻心汤） is used as the basic prescription， with a primary focus on directing the turbid downward， supplemented by regulating qi， which embodies the concept of "promoting movement through descent， then figuring out the root of spleen-heat syndrome. Furthermore， the treatment is flexibly modified based on the patient's deficiency-excess syndrome to ensure individualized therapy.

Objective:To observe any effect of percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) combined with electro-acupuncture on detrusor overactivity after a spinal cord injury.Methods:Forty spinal cord injury survivors with neurogenic detrusor overactivity were randomly assigned to a control group or an observation group, each of 20. Both groups received routine bladder training and electro-acupuncture modulating 3 sacral spinal nerves. The observation group also received 20 minutes of bilateral PTNS five times a week for 8 weeks. The frequency was 10Hz with a pulse width of 200μs. Before and after the treatment, both groups′ urination frequency, incontinence and average daily urine volume were assessed using a urodynamics analyzer, bladder diaries and an incontinence quality of life questionnaire (I-QOL).Results:After treatment, the average involuntary detrusor contraction volume (IDCV), maximum detrusor pressure at filling time (P det·max), bladder compliance (BC), residual volume and the TL value of the electromyogram of the urethral sphincter (LgTLR) had all improved significantly in both groups. The 1st IDCV, BC and LgTLR of the observation group were then significantly better than in the control group, on average, with the average P det·max and residual volume significantly lower than in the control group. The average daily single urine output and I-QOL score of both groups had increased significantly, while the average daily urination frequency and frequency of urinary incontinence had decreased significantly. Both were again significantly better in the observation group. Conclusion:Combining percutaneous electrical stimulation of the tibial nerves with electro-acupuncture can effectively inhibit detrusor overactivity after a spinal cord injury, reducing urinary incontinence.

Objective To analyze the current situation of dietary diversity and caregiver self-efficacy for complementary feeding among infants and young children aged 6 to 23 months in rural Nanchong city,Sichuan province,and to explore the relationship between dietary diversity and caregiver self-efficacy.Methods Multi-stage randomized cluster sampling method was used to select infants and young children aged 6 to 23 months and their caregivers in rural areas of Nanchong city,Sichuan province as the subjects.A structured questionnaire was designed to collect the basic information of the subjects,dietary diversity,and caregiver self-efficacy for comple-mentary feeding.Multivariate Logistic regression was adopted to analyze the relationship between the dietary diver-sity and caregiver self-efficacy for complementary feeding of infants and young children.Results A total of 770 pairs of infants and young children and their caregivers were included.The minimum pass rate of dietary diversity was 61.56% (474/770)for all the infants and young children and 45.00% (108/240),69.16% (287/415),and 68.70% (79/115)for the infants and young children aged 6 to 11,12 to 17,and 18 to 23 months,respective-ly.The results of regression analysis showed that the caregiver self-efficacy of complementary feeding was a contributing fac-tor for qualified dietary diversity of infants and young children in the case of other confounders being controlled(OR = 1.42,95% CI=1.17-1.73,P<0.001).Conclusion The dietary diversity for infants and young children in rural Nan-chong city,Sichuan province needs to be improved,and caregivers with higher self-efficacy of complementary feeding are more likely to provide diversified complementary feeding for infants and young children.

Objective To investigate the current status of physical activity and depressive symptoms a-mong middle-aged and older adults in Chengdu,Sichuan and explore the relationship between physical activity and depressive symptoms.Methods Multi-stage proportional stratified random sampling was employed to select middle-aged and older adults aged ≥45 years as the participants,and face-to-face interviews were carried out to collect data.Logistic regression was adopted to explore the relationship between physical activity and depressive symptoms in middle-aged and older adults.The trend test was performed for the relationship between different lev-els of physical activity and depressive symptoms.The subgroup analysis and the test for multiplicative interactions were conducted for the relationship between physical activity and depressive symptoms.Results A total of 4376 middle-aged and older adults were included.Among them,14.58％(638/4376),25.98％(1137/4376),and 27.83％(1218/4376)had depressive symptoms,failed to reach the guideline-recommended standards of physical activity,and were at low levels of physical activity,respectively.There was a negative association be-tween reaching guideline-recommended physical activity standard and depressive symptoms in middle-aged and ol-der adults(OR=0.713,95％CI=0.589-0.861,P＜0.001).In addition,moderate levels(OR=0.714,95％CI=0.586-0.871,P=0.001)and high levels of physical activity(OR=0.705,95％CI=0.548-0.906,P=0.006)had negative associations with the presence of depressive symptoms.The trend test revealed that the negative association between physical activity and depressive symptoms in middle-aged and older adults enhanced as the level of physical activity increased(Pfor trend=0.001).The subgroup analysis and the test for multiplicative interactions revealed that neither reaching guideline-recommended physical activity standards or not nor the physi-cal activity level had an interaction with each of the subgroups(all Pfor interaction＞0.05).Conclusions The current status of depressive symptoms among middle-aged and older adults in Chengdu,Sichuan needs to be ameliora-ted.A negative association existed between reaching the guideline-recommended physical activity standard and pres-ence of depressive symptoms,and the negative association enhanced as the physical activity level elevated.

BACKGROUND:Currently,there are few kinds of drugs to treat kidney diseases,and many systemic drugs have some problems,such as serious side effects,rapid degradation in the body circulation and so on.At present,active targeting of nanoparticles has become a hot spot in the field of drug delivery,and the exploration of the pathological mechanism related to active targeting of nanoparticles is becoming more and more abundant. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the active targeting strategies in common renal diseases. METHODS:The first author and the second author searched CNKI,Wanfang,VIP,and PubMed databases using"nanoparticles,active targeting,target,kidney,kidney disease"as English key words and"nanoparticles,nanoparticles,targeting,active targeting,kidney disease,kidney"as Chinese key words.All relevant articles published before July 2,2023 were retrieved,screened,concluded,and summarized.Finally,62 articles were included for the summary. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The active targeting effect of nanoparticles has been studied in many common kidney diseases.The mechanism of active targeting is mainly the binding of ligands and receptors,by modifying the ligand on the nanoparticles to specifically target the receptor on the cells in the kidney;in which way active targeting is realized.Under different renal pathological conditions,the pathological changes of specific kidney sites may become the key breakthrough point to achieve active targeting.Although kidney-targeting nanoparticles have shown promise in the treatment of nonneoplastic kidney diseases,but it is still in the experimental phase in animals,and it is still a long way from applying these results to medical work.

Perimenopausal syndrome （MPS）， a common endocrine system disease， is one of the diseases responding specifically to traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. The China Association of Chinese Medicine organized experts in endocrinology， gynecology， and interdisciplinary fields of both Western and Chinese medicine to discuss the advantages and challenges of diagnosing and treating MPS with Western medicine， TCM， and integrative medicine. Experts at the conference believe that MPS is initiated by estrogen decline and rooted in deficiency， with the pathogenesis being imbalance between Yin and Yang in the kidney. The hormone replacement therapy in Western medicine for menopause can rapidly alleviate related symptoms by quickly restoring the estrogen level and timely detect and delay complications of menopause， whereas such a therapy has certain risks， necessitating close monitoring of adverse reactions. Moreover， the various contraindications and precautions limit the clinical application of the hormone replacement therapy. TCM has advantages in synergistically alleviating symptoms such as hot flashes， sweating， sleep disorders， and emotional abnormalities of MPS without causing obvious adverse reactions. However， its efficacy is slower than the hormone replacement therapy， and the TCM evidence for preventing and treating complications of menopause remains unclear. Three suggestions were proposed for the future development of both Western and TCM for ameliorating MPS. First， an integrated diagnosis and treatment system for MPS with both Western and Chinese medicine should be established. Second， high-quality evidence-based interventions for MPS should be developed with TCM alone or in combination with Western medicine. Third， efforts should be made to promote the new TCM drug development and the interdisciplinary cooperation for treating MPS.

Background Mobile phone addiction has attracted widespread attention in society,and psychological abuse and neglect is an important factor in predicting mobile phone addiction,whereas limited research has been done to evaluate its impact on mobile phone addiction.Objective To explore the correlation of psychological abuse and neglect with mobile phone addiction,and to test the pathway of self-esteem and interpersonal alienation,so as to provide references for preventing and curbing mobile phone addiction in junior high school students.Methods In May 2022,a cluster sampling was utilized to select 800 students in two middle schools in a county of Hainan Province,and all students were assessed using Child Psychological Abuse and Neglect Scale(CPANS),Mobile Phone Addiction Index(MPAI),Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale(SES)and Interpersonal Alienation Scale of Adolescent StudentsAlienation Scale.Pearson correlation analysis was adopted to determine the correlation among the above-mentioned scales,and Process Macro 3.5 for SPSS was used to test the mediation effect.Results CPANS score was negatively correlated with SES score(r=-0.278,P<0.01),and positively correlated with Interpersonal Alienation Scale score and MPAI score(r=0.471,0.372,P<0.01).SES score was negatively correlated with Interpersonal Alienation Scale score and MPAI score(r=-0.438,-0.196,P<0.01).Interpersonal Alienation Scale score was positively correlated with MPAI score(r=0.392,P<0.01).Interpersonal alienation(indirect effect value was 0.104)played a mediation role in the relationship between psychological abuse and neglect and mobile phone addiction.Self-esteem and interpersonal alienation exhibited a chained mediation effect on the relationship between psychological abuse and neglect and mobile phone addiction(indirect effect value was 0.026),accounting for 6.99%of the total effect.Conclusion Psychological abuse and neglect can not only directly predict mobile phone addiction,but also can indirectly affect mobile phone addiction through separate mediation of interpersonal alienation or chained mediation of self-esteem and interpersonal alienation.

It is the current confusion encountered by integrated Chinese and Western medicine that how to find the breakthrough direction of integrating Chinese and Western medicine， from crossover to integration to innovation， and open up a new horizon of integrated Chinese and Western medicine. The progress of Chinese medicine lay in expanding the scope of diagnosis and treatment with the help of modern diagnostic and therapeutic equipments and developing “micro” identification， while the progress of Western medicine lay in looking at “macro” and developing systemic medicine and integrated medicine， both of which are in the direction of each other. The “state-target identification and treatment” may become an important way to build a modern diagnosis and treatment system of integrated Chinese and Western medicine， and the thinking mode of “from target to state” is a further refinement and development on the basis of the theoretical system of “state-target identification and treatment”， which provided a clearer solution for the current stage of the integrated Chinese and Western medicine model， and pointed out the important development direction for the future integrated Chinese and Western medicine. From the perspective of strategic level and diagnosis and treatment practice， it integrated the “target-state” thinking mode into the modern diagnosis and treatment model of the integrated Chinese and Western medicine， i.e.， “Western medicine as the basis and treating with Chinese medicine； Chinese medicine as the basis and treating with Western medicine”. On the one hand， Western medicine should strengthen the reference to the traditional theories and holism of Chinese medicine， and advocate a higher level of education on the integrated Chinese and Western medicine under the guidance of the traditional theories of Chinese medicine. On the other hand， the “from target to state” mode of thinking should be applied to guide the establishment of diagnostic and treatment strategies and clinical selection of medicines in clinical practice， so as to locate the target and adjust the body state in a gradual and orderly manner， and to provide practical methods for the modern clinical work of the integrated Chinese and Western medicines. Chinese and Western medicine systems can learn from each other， combine organically， give full play to their respective strengths， and form an internal law， so as to make breakthroughs and innovations in the integrated Chinese and Western medicine model.
