Objective:To construct an integrated early rehabilitation program for healthcare and rehabilitation system based on the information-motivation-behavioral skills (IMB) model and evaluate its application effect in patients treated with total hip arthroplasty (THA).Methods:Construction of the rehabilitation program: An integrated research team was established, composed of head burse of orthopedics, orthopedic nursing specialists, orthopedic surgeons, anesthesiologists, and rehabilitation therapists. Considering the key points of perioperative early rehabilitation of THA patients, an integrated early rehabilitation program was constructed based on the IMB model through literature review and expert panel method. Clinical application of the rehabilitation program: A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 100 THA patients admitted to Qingdao Municipal Hospital from March to December 2023, including 47 males and 53 females, aged 60-85 years [(69.8±5.5)years]. Patients were divided into two groups according to their admission time: 50 patients admitted from March to July 2023, receiving routine care (routine care group) and 50 admitted from August to December 2023, receiving intervention through an early rehabilitation program of an integrated healthcare and rehabilitation system based on routine care (integrated care group). The first postoperative ambulation time and length of hospital stay were compared between the two groups. The Harris hip function score was used to assess hip function in both groups at 3 days, 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively; the Barthel index was used to assess the daily living self-care capacity in both groups preoperatively, at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. The incidence of complications within 6 months after surgery was compared between the two groups.Results:An early integrated rehabilitation program based on the IMB model comprised 25 specific measures of three domains: information support, motivational intervention, and behavioral skills. All the patients were followed up for 6 months. The first postoperative ambulation time and length of hospital stay in the integrated care group were (1.3±0.5)days and (7.4±2.3)days, shorter than (1.5±0.5)days and (8.5±2.3)days in the routine care group ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the Harris hip function scores at 3 days postoperatively or preoperative Barthel index between the two groups ( P>0.05). At 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively, the Harris hip function scores in the integrated care group were (80.3±6.0)points, (88.6±5.2)points, and (92.5±4.1)points, respectively, higher than (75.1±6.3)points, (84.2±5.7)points, and (88.0±5.2)points in the routine care group ( P<0.01); the Barthel index in the integrated care group were (79.2±8.7)points, (87.7±5.7)points, and (92.3±4.9)points, respectively, higher than (72.1±9.0)points, (83.5±6.6)points, and (88.6±5.0)points in the routine care group ( P<0.01). At 6 months postoperatively, the incidence of complications in the integrated care group was 4% (2/50), lower than 16% (8/50) in the routine care group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with the routine care, an integrated early rehabilitation program for medical care and health based on the information-motivation-behavioral skills model for THA patients can shorten the first postoperative ambulation time and length of hospital stay, restore hip joint function, improve daily living self-care capacity and reduce the incidence of complications.

This article reports the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) initially manifested as acquired von Willebrand syndrome (AvWS), along with a literature review. The patient, a 22-year-old male, was diagnosed with hereditary von Willebrand disease at the initial stage due to repeated mucosal bleeding, and was later diagnosed with DLBCL (non germinal center type, Ann Arbor stage Ⅳ) due to chest wall mass. Through chemotherapy combined with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and zebutinib maintenance therapy, the patient achieved sustained complete remission, and the coagulation function returned to normal. This case provides an important reference for the diagnosis and treatment of lymphoma associated AvWS, and highlights the importance of early recognition of basic diseases.

There is a large gap between production and demand of plant oil in China, which leads to the heavy reliance on imports. Diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) and phospholipid: diacylglycerol acyltransferase (PDAT) are two key enzymes responsible for the synthesis of triacylglycerol, thereby affecting the yield and quality of plant oil. This paper comprehensively reviews the research progress in DGAT and PDAT in terms of their biological functions in plant oil synthesis, the molecular mechanisms of regulating plant lipid metabolism, growth, and development under stress, and their roles in driving oil synthesis under the background of synthetic biology. Furthermore, future research and application of DGAT and PDAT are prospected. This review aims to provide a basis for deeply understanding the molecular mechanism of plant oil synthesis and improving the quality and productivity of oil crops by the utilization of DGAT and PDAT genes.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the protective effect and mechanism of saikosaponin C(SSC)on acute liver injury(ALI)in mice induced by carbon tetrachloride(CCl4)based on serum metabolomics.METHODS Forty mice were divided into blank group(water),model group(water),positive control drug group(Biphenyl diester drop pills,150 mg/kg),and SSC low-and high-dose groups(2.5,10 mg/kg)using the random number table method,with 8 mice in each group.They were given water/relevant drugs,once a day,for 7 consecutive days.One hour after the last administration,all mice were intraperitoneally injected with 0.2%CCl4 olive oil to induce ALI model,except for the blank group.After 17 hours of the modeling,the liver index of mice was calculated.The levels of aspartate aminotransferase(AST),alanine aminotransferase(ALT),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-6(IL-6),and IL-1β in serum of mice were detected.The histopathological changes of liver tissue were observed.Meanwhile,the serum metabolomics of mice were analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.RESULTS Compared with the blank group,the levels of liver index,ALT,AST,LDH,TNF-α,IL-6,and IL-1β in the model group were significantly increased(P<0.01).Hepatocytes were edema,vacuolar degeneration,more necrosis,and a large number of inflammatory cells were infiltrated.Compared with the model group,liver index and serum index levels of mice were significantly decreased(P<0.05 or P<0.01),accompanied by marked improvement in histopathological damage to the liver tissue.The metabolomics results showed that compared with the model group,there were 63 up-regulated and 256 down-regulated differential metabolites in the serum of mice in the SSC high-dose group,including prostaglandin B2,20-hydroxy-leukotriene B4,5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan,7α-hydroxycholesterol,etc.;these metabolites were primarily involved in metabolic pathways such as arachidonic acid metabolism,5-hydroxytryptamine synapse,primary bile acid biosynthesis.CONCLUSIONS SSC exerts a protective effect against CCl4-induced ALI by down-regulating the level of key metabolites such as prostaglandin B2 and 20-hydroxy-leukotriene B4,and then ruducing metabolic pathways such as arachidonic acid metabolism,5-hydroxytryptamine synapse,and primary bile acid biosynthesis.
