BACKGROUND: As an essential part of health services, rehabilitation is of great significance to improve the health and quality of life of the whole population. Accelerating aging calls for a significant expansion of rehabilitation services in China, but rehabilitation needs remain unclear. We conducted the study to explore the rehabilitation needs in China and project the trend of rehabilitation needs from 2020 to 2034. METHODS: The data of health conditions that might potentially benefit from rehabilitation were obtained from Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study. Estimated annual percentage changes (EAPCs) were calculated to quantify the trends of the age-standardized rates. Projections of rehabilitation needs were made until 2034 using Bayesian age-period-cohort analysis (BAPC). RESULTS: Approximately 460 million persons (33.3% of the total population) need rehabilitation in China, contributing to 63 million years lived with disabilities (YLDs) in 2019. The number of prevalent cases that need rehabilitation increased from around 268 (95% uncertainty interval [UI]: 257-282) million in 1990 to almost 460 (95% UI: 443-479) million in 2019, representing an increase of 71.3%. The highest contribution to the need for rehabilitation was musculoskeletal disorders with about 322 (95% UI: 302-343) million persons in seven aggregate disease and injury categories, and hearing loss with over 95 (95% UI: 84-107) million people among 25 health conditions. Based on the projection results, there will be almost 636 million people (45% of the total population) needing rehabilitation services in China by 2034, representing an increase of 38.3%. The rehabilitation needs of neoplasms, cardiovascular diseases, and neurological disorders are expected to increase significantly from 2019 to 2034, with increases of 102.3%, 88.8% and 73.2%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The need for rehabilitation in China substantially increased over the last 30 years. It is predicted that over two in five people will require rehabilitation by 2034, thus suggesting the need to develop rehabilitation services that meet individuals' rehabilitation needs.

Objective:To investigate the knowledge, attitudes, practices (KAP), and demands of medical staff in family physician teams regarding the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in contracted services, and to analyze the influencing factors.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted from June to July 2023. A total of 602 medical staff members from family physician teams in Shanghai Minhang District were selected as subjects. Data on demographics (age, gender, institution, position, education, work experience, household registration, professional title, marital status, fertility status) and KAP/demand regarding AI application in contracted services were collected using a self-designed questionnaire. Intergroup differences were analyzed. Multiple stepwise linear regression was employed to identify the main factors influencing AI application demand.Results:Among the 602 participants, 484 (80.4%) were aged 30-49 years, 466 (77.40%) were females, 559 (92.9%) held a bachelor′s degree or higher, and 505 (83.9%) had intermediate or senior professional titles. The awareness rate for knowledge, positive attitude rate, and practice implementation rate regarding AI application were 47.2% (284/602), 73.1% (440/602), and 32.1% (193/602), respectively. The mean scores for knowledge, attitude, and practice were 15.72±3.40, 18.34±3.41, and 14.60±3.89, respectively. Significant differences were found among the items within each KAP dimension (knowledge: F=7.688, P<0.001; attitude: F=5.106, P<0.001; practice: F=6.763, P<0.001). Within knowledge, item K3 (awareness of intelligent elderly monitoring devices) scored lowest (3.00±0.79), differing significantly from K1, K2, K4, and K5 (all P<0.05). Within attitude, item A5 (willingness to fully trust AI′s accuracy and convenience in contracted services) scored lowest (3.57±0.75), differing significantly from A3 and A4 (all P<0.05). Within practice, item P3 (increasing reliance on AI in daily contracted services) scored lowest (2.79±0.93), differing significantly from P1 and P2 (all P<0.05). KAP scores differed significantly across demographic subgroups. Knowledge scores differed significantly by age, gender, and marital status (all P<0.05). Attitude scores differed significantly by gender, household registration, and fertility status (all P<0.05). Practice scores differed significantly by gender, position, and marital status (all P<0.05). Regarding demand, the most frequently selected areas were follow-up services (28.74%, 173/602), data management (26.25%, 158/602), and data collection (25.42%, 153/602). Univariate analysis identified age, gender, education, professional title, fertility status, and KAP scores as significant factors influencing AI application demand (all P<0.05). Multiple stepwise linear regression revealed that older age ( t=3.905, P<0.001), female gender ( t=3.548, P<0.001), and higher practice scores ( t=-3.044, P=0.002) were significant predictors of greater AI application demand. Conclusions:Significant variations exist in the KAP levels regarding AI application among family physician team members. Gender, age, and practice behavior significantly influence demand. Tailored strategies for different subgroups, coupled with timely targeted training and practical exercises, are recommended to enhance the effective and widespread adoption of AI technology in family physician contracted services.

This article is to evaluate the clinical outcomes and health economics of minimally invasive surgery for hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage(HICH).This review systematically compares clinical efficacy and economic value of three minimally invasive techniques:small bone window microsurgery,neuroendoscopic surgery and stereotactic drainage based on 12 randomized controlled trials(RCTs),7 cohort studies,and 8 economic evaluations 2019-2024.Cost-effectiveness analysis(CEA)and cost-utility analysis(CUA)were employed to assess resource utilization and health outcomes.Minimally invasive approaches overall outperform conventional craniotomy.Stereotactic surgery achieves the shortest hospitalization(5-8 days)and lowest direct costs;neuroendoscopy significantly improves quality of life(quality-adjusted life years(QALYs);and small bone window surgery offers the best postoperative stability.It is recommended to choose the surgical method based on patient characteristics and to optimize healthcare resource allocation through medical insurance payment reform and technology promotion.

BACKGROUND:Estrogen receptor α can act as an upstream protein to regulate the expression and phosphorylation level of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase(AMPK).Activation of the estrogen receptor α-AMPK signaling pathway promotes osteogenic proliferation and differentiation.OBJECTIVE:To explore the molecular mechanism of estrogen receptor α regulating AMPK and its effect on osteoblast proliferation and differentiation at osteoblast cell line and molecular biology levels.METHODS:(1)The passaged MC3T3-E1 mouse embryonic osteoblasts were divided into three groups:blank control group,mock group(transfected with pCDNA3.1 control plasmid),and estrogen receptor α group(transfected with pCDNA3.1-estrogen receptor α overexpression plasmid),and RT-qPCR and western blot methods were used to detect the hepatic kinase B1,CaMKKβ,and AMPKα1 mRNA,protein and phosphorylation levels.(2)ChIP-qPCR was used to demonstrate that estrogen receptor α interacts with the hepatic kinase B1 promoter.Dual luciferase assay was used to demonstrate that estrogen receptorα interacts with the hepatic kinase B1 promoter region to activate its transcriptional expression.(3)The cells were divided into three groups:mock+shNC group,estrogen receptor α+shNC group,and estrogen receptor α+shLKB1 group.Changes in the expression levels of hepatic kinase B1,phosphorylated hepatic kinase B1,and phosphorylated AMPKα1 proteins in the cells were detected by western blot.(4)The cells were divided into four groups:mock group,estrogen receptor α group,estrogen receptor α+5 μmol/L Compound C(AMPK inhibitor)group,and estrogen receptor α+10 μmol/L Compound C group.The expression of proteins related to the AMPK signaling pathway and related to osteogenesis and osteoinductivity were detected by western blot method.Cells were transfected for 24 hours and then subjected to osteogenic induction for 14 days.Alkaline phosphatase staining was performed and cell viability in each group was detected.Mineralized nodule formation was detected by alizarin red staining at 21 days of osteogenic induction.(5)The cells were transfected and pretreated with different concentrations of AMPK inhibitor in corresponding groups,and cell viability was detected by cell counting kit 8.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Estrogen receptor α activates the AMPK signaling pathway in MC3T3-E1 cells.(2)Estrogen receptor α promotes liver kinase B1 transcription and mediates AMPK signaling pathway activation.(3)Estrogen receptor α promotes the proliferation and differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells by activating the AMPK signaling pathway,and the expression of AMPKα1,p-AMPKα,osteoprotegerin,osteopontin,and Runx2 proteins was down-regulated under the intervention of AMPK inhibitor,and the viability of osteoblasts was decreased.(4)To conclude,estrogen receptor α activates the AMPK signaling pathway by acting on liver kinase B1 promoter,promotes osteoblast proliferation and osteogenic differentiation,and prevents osteoporosis.

Objective:To investigate the current situation of key endemic disease prevention and control in Shanxi Province, and provide a scientific basis for further strengthening the implementation of prevention and control measures.Methods:In 2021, monitoring of key endemic disease prevention and control projects in Shanxi Province was carried out in accordance with the current national monitoring plans for iodine deficiency disorders and water source high iodine areas, for endemic fluorosis, endemic arsenic poisoning, Kashin-Beck disease, and Keshan disease. The effect of prevention and control measures was evaluated in accordance with the "Evaluation Measures for Key Endemic Disease Control and Elimination (2019 Edition)". Patient management services and treatment subsidy projects were carried out in accordance with the "Management Service Standards for Endemic Disease Patients" and the "Management Measures for Treatment of Endemic Disease Patients".Results:All 117 counties (cities, districts, hereinafter referred to as counties) in Shanxi Province had reached the national elimination standards for iodine deficiency disorders, and the overall iodine nutrition of the population was generally suitable. However, the consumption rate of qualified iodine salt in 8 counties was ≤90%, and the iodine nutrition of pregnant women in 13 counties was insufficient. The water improvement rate in 295 villages in 12 counties across the province with high water iodine level was 80.68% (238/295), and the proportion of villages with qualified water iodine after water improvement was 38.31% (113/295). The prevention and control measures of 93.55% (58/62) of the counties in the province with endemic fluorosis caused through drinking water reached the national control standards. Totally 20 counties ravaged by coal-burning borne endemic fluorosis, 16 counties ravaged by drinking water borne endemic arsenicosis (high arsenic areas), 35 counties ravaged by Kashin-Beck disease, and 11 counties ravaged by Keshan disease met the national elimination standards. In 2021, 11 197 patients with endemic diseases were followed up and managed in Shanxi Province, and drug treatment programs were carried out on 3 413 patients with skeletal fluorosis, 2 088 patients with Kashin-Beck disease, and 10 patients with chronic Keshan disease.Conclusions:The overall prevention and control of key endemic diseases in Shanxi Province remains under control or elimination. However, the water improvement in some drinking water borne endemic fluorosis areas still needs to be further strengthened. Measures for water improvement and supply of non-iodized salt in water source high iodine areas still need to be coordinated and promoted. Key endemic disease patients in Shanxi Province have basically achieved standardized management.

OBJECTIVE To screen the potential active components of Polygonum orientale flower against myocardial ischemia- reperfusion injury （MIRI） in rats based on physiological and pathological states. METHODS SD rats were divided into normal control group， normal administration group， MIRI control group and MIRI administration group， with 5 rats in each group. After drug intervention or modeling and drug intervention， chromatographic separation plasma samples were collected， and chromatographic separation and mass spectrometry data collection were performed by using UPLC-Q-TOF/MS. The prototype components and metabolites were analyzed by comparing the reference substance maps， the maps of each plasma sample， and the relevant literature. At the same time， the common peaks in plasma samples of rats in normal administration group and MIRI administration group were identified. Combined with principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least square-discriminant analysis， the differential transitional components were screened out according to the value of variable importance in the projection （VIP）＞1， to speculate the potential active components of P. orientale flower in rats under physiological and pathological states. The SD rats were divided into control group， MIRI group， positive control group （Compound danshen tablets 0.2 g/kg， 3 times a day）， and potentially active compound groups （10 mg/kg， twice a day）， with 5 rats in each group. The rats in administration groups were given relevant medicine intragastrically， for 3 consecutive days. The activity of superoxide dismutase （SOD）， the leakages of lactate dehydrogenase （LDH）， creatine kinase isoenzyme-MB （CK-MB） and cardiac troponin Ⅰ （cTnⅠ） in plasma were detected after the last administration. RESULTS Twenty-six main chromatographic peaks were obtained from the total ion chromatogram of the extract of P. orientale flower， and 14 of them were determined， including gallic acid， catechin， protocatechuic acid and so on. There were fifteen （including 6 absorbed prototype components and 9 metabolites） and nineteen transitional components （including 6 absorbed prototype components and 13 metabolites） in the plasma sample of normal rats and MIRI rats. Eight transitional components were detected in both normal rats and MIRI rats， and the VIP values of kaempferol glucuronidation metabolites， quercetin carbonylation metabolites and N-p-paprazine to the corresponding peak were higher than 1. Compared with MIRI group， the activities of SOD were increased significantly in the plasma of MIRI rats in each potential active compound group （P＜0.01）， and the leakages of LDH， CK-MB， and cTnⅠ in the plasma of MIRI rats were reduced significantly （P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS The potential anti-MIRI active components in extract of P. orientale flower are N-p-paprazine， quercetin， kaempferol and kaempferol-3-O-β-D-glucoside.
