Objective To investigate the post-discharge exercise behavior and factors influencing moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) in patients undergoing lung surgery. Methods A total of 2874 patients from the large prospective, observational perioperative lung symptom study cohort (CN-PRO-Lung 3) in the Department of Thoracic Surgery at Sichuan Cancer Hospital between April 7, 2021, and January 31, 2024, were selected as the survey subjects. A survey was conducted using the Investigation of Exercise Behavior after Lung Surgery questionnaire and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) among patients who underwent lung surgery. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the factors influencing patients’ engagement in MVPA. Results A total of 702 patients were surveyed, including 252 males and 450 females, with an average age of (52.4±10.2) years. Patients with lung cancer accounted for 85.9%. Only 36.0% of the patients had regular exercise habits, while 42.3% did not engage in any physical activity. The three main barriers for postoperative exercise were physical discomfort (pain, coughing, shortness of breath, etc, 54.7%), lack of professional guidance (41.7%), and concerns about the surgical wound (28.9%). The proportions of patients engaging in vigorous, moderate, and low-intensity physical activity were 5.7%, 28.2%, and 66.1%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that patients with a personal annual income ≥50000 yuan (OR=1.52, 95%CI 1.01-2.29, P=0.044), high school education or above (OR=1.92, 95%CI 1.33-2.76, P<0.001), and lobectomy (OR=1.44, 95%CI 1.02-2.03, P=0.037) engaged in more MVPA. Conclusion Patients undergoing lung surgery have inadequate physical activity after discharge, particularly lacking in MVPA. Patients with higher income, higher educational levels, and lobectomy are more frequently engaged in MVPA. Measures such as symptom control, providing exercise guidance, and enhancing education on wound care may potentially improve the inadequate physical activity in lung surgery patients after discharge.

Aging has emerged as a cutting edge and hotspot in global life science field， with anti-aging and geriatric disease prevention and treatment becoming critical issues urgently demanding solutions in international medical communities. In the face of the challenge of accelerating global population aging， in-depth exploration of aging mechanisms and the development of effective intervention strategies hold significant scientific and clinical value. This study supported by the national key research and development program of China， employed the essence-Qi-spirit theory of Qiluo doctrine as its guiding framework， focusing on the key scientific issue of the core traditional Chinese pathogenesis of aging， namely "depletion of kidney essence， deficiency of primordial Qi， and impairment of body and spirit". The treatment principle of "tonifying the kidney to replenish essence， harmonizing Yin and Yang， warming and invigorating primordial Qi， and nourishing the body and spirit" was established. Centered on holistic aging， systemic aging， and aging-related diseases， the research integrated multidisciplinary research approaches to construct multi-modal aging models and a multi-dimensional evaluation system， and it utilized multi-omics technologies to deeply analyze aging mechanisms. By systematically reviewing historical kidney-tonifying and anti-aging formulas and combining big data with artificial intelligence technologies， an information database of anti-aging traditional Chinese medicine substance was developed to reveal the differences and synergistic effects of various treatment methods and formulas on anti-aging. Based on this treatment method， the research integrated two millennia of kidney-tonifying medicinal experience to develop the innovative anti-aging traditional Chinese medicine， namely Bazhi Bushen capsules. It was validated that this capsule can delay holistic and systemic aging through multiple targets and mechanisms， thereby elucidating the scientific connotation of the essence-Qi-spirit theory of Qiluo doctrine in guiding anti-aging research from multiple dimensions and providing robust support for leveraging the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine to occupy the commanding heights of international anti-aging research.

Objective:To retrieve, evaluate and integrate the evidence related to postoperative exercise rehabilitation for hip fracture in elderly frail patients, and provide reference for clinical rehabilitation nursing.Methods:Evidence on postoperative exercise rehabilitation of hip fractures in elderly frail patients was systemically retrieved in the guideline websites, professional association websites and databases, such as BMJ Best Practice, UpToDate, PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Embase, Chinese Biomedical Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang and VIP, including Best practices, guidelines, clinical decisions, evidence summaries, systematic reviews, and expert consensus. The retrieval time was from the establishment of the database to March 31, 2024.Results:A total of 33 articles were involved, including 12 guidelines, 2 clinical decisions, 7 systematic reviews, 7 expert consensuses, 5 evidence summaries. Forty pieces of evidence were summarized in 7 aspects: the role of exercise, exercise assessment, exercise planning, exercise content, exercise intensity, exercise adherence, exercise nursing, exercise guidance.Conclusions:Healthcare professionals should combine patients' tolerance, rehabilitation goals, and specific clinical situations to target and guide patients in exercise rehabilitation to promote the recovery of postoperative limb function, mitigate frailty, and improve the quality of life.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)is a common disease with a high global incidence and mortality rate.It is charac-terized by chronic inflammation and structural airway obstruction that is not fully reversible,leading to shortness of breath caused by air trapping and increased physical exertion.Over the past few decades,the incidence of COPD has continued to rise.Although commonly used therapeutic agents,such as glucocorticoids and bronchodilators,have demonstrated significant symptomatic relief,they primarily target symptoms rather than halting disease progression.Therefore,further research is needed to better understand the underlying mechanisms of COPD and to develop novel therapeutic strategies for its prevention and management.Early studies on the pathogenesis of COPD primarily focused on airway epithelial cell injury,while relatively less attention was given to pulmonary vascular endothelial cells(PVECs).However,recent evidence indicates that COPD is not only an airway and systemic inflammatory disorder but also a vascular disease,with PVECs playing a critical role in its pathogenesis.PVECs are among the main cellular targets damaged in COPD and are involved in mediating its initiation and progression.In this review,we summarize emerging evidence that highlights the close association between PVEC injury and COPD pathogenesis.We also explore the roles and mechanisms of various therapeutic interventions targeting PVECs,including chemical agents and traditional Chinese medicine,in the treatment of COPD.

Objective:To explore the application effects of the solution-focused approach combined with empathic nursing in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) .Methods:A total of 96 AMI patients who underwent PCI in the Department of Cardiology at Cangzhou Central Hospital from March 2020 to March 2023 were selected using convenience sampling. They were randomly assigned to an experimental group ( n=48) and a control group ( n=48) using a random number table. The control group received routine nursing care, while the experimental group received a solution-focused approach combined with empathic nursing. Medication adherence, coping strategies, and patient satisfaction were compared between the two groups. Results:After the intervention, medication adherence and satisfaction scores in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group, and the differences werestatistically significant ( P<0.05) . Additionally, the experimental group scored higher in confrontation coping, and lower in avoidance and resignation coping than the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:The combination of a solution-focused approach and empathic nursing can effectively improve medication adherence, coping strategies, and patient satisfaction in AMI patients after PCI.
