Sarcopenia is a clinical syndrome characterized by a decrease in skeletal muscle strength and quality， often accompanied by adverse outcomes such as falls， loss of function and weakness. The pathogenesis of sarcopenia is complex， and studies have shown that dysfunction due to impaired mitochondrial quality control is an important pathological factor in the occurrence and development. Traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） has been widely favoured for regulating mitochondrial homeostasis and preventing sarcopenia by virtue of its multi-target and multi-pathway advantages. They can play a role in the prevention and treatment of sarcopenia by regulating the mitochondrial quality control system to inhibit the occurrence of mitochondrial oxidative stress， regulate the balance of mitochondrial dynamics， inhibit mitochondrial autophagy， promote mitochondrial biosynthesis， resist the occurrence of mitochondrial apoptosis， and maintain the mitochondrial calcium and protein homeostasis. Based on this， the paper reviewed the relationship between mitochondrial quality control and sarcopenia， as well as the mechanism of TCM in intervening the mitochondrial quality control system to treat sarcopenia， in order to provide a new idea for the prevention and treatment of sarcopenia by TCM and to a theoretical basis for the clinical research on TCM intervention in sarcopenia.

As an important part of modern medicine, the teaching model of oral medicine still has some problems, such as single teaching resources, disjunction of subject knowledge, static recording of knowledge, and large-class education. Knowledge map is a research hotspot in the field of digital education, and how to integrate it into medical education has attracted wide attention of scholars. Therefore, this article explores the application of knowledge map in oral medicine teaching and proposes a complete construction process of knowledge map for oral medicine, including knowledge extraction, knowledge integration, knowledge update, knowledge recommendation, and application evaluation. The construction of knowledge map provides strong support for improving the teaching quality of oral medicine and training stomatological professionals for the new era. However, there are still problems and challenges in this field, such as the cross-domain integration of knowledge map, accurate and efficient knowledge update, and the standardization of knowledge map evaluation.

Aim To explore the mechanism and mate-rial basis of Shenkang injection(SKI)in the treatment of renal fibrosis(RF)by bioinformatics and in vitro experiments.Methods The differentially expressed genes of RF were screened by GEO database.With the help of CMAP database,based on the similarity princi-ple of gene expression profile,the drugs that regulated RF were repositioned,and then the components of SKI potential treatment RF were screened by molecular fin-gerprint similarity analysis.At the same time,the core targets and pathways of SKI regulating RF were predic-ted based on network pharmacology.Finally,it was verified by molecular docking and cell experiments.Results Based on the GEO database,two RF-related data sets were screened,and CMAP was relocated to three common RF therapeutic drugs(saracatinib,da-satinib,pp-2).Molecular fingerprint similarity analysis showed that RF therapeutic drugs had high structural similarity with five SKI components such as salvianolic acid B and hydroxysafflor yellow A.Molecular docking results showed that salvianolic acid B,hydroxysafflor yellow A and other components had good binding abili-ty with MMP1 and MMP13,which were the core targets of SKI-regulated potential treatment of RF.Network pharmacology analysis suggested that the core targets of SKI were mainly enriched in signaling pathways such as Relaxin and AGE-RAGE.Cell experiments showed that SKI could significantly reduce the mRNA expres-sion levels of AGER,NFKB1,COL1A1,SERPINE1,VEGFC in AGE-RAGE signaling pathway and MMP1 and MMP13 in Relaxin signaling pathway in RF model cells,and significantly increase the mRNA expression level of RXFP1.Conclusions SKI can play a role in the treatment of RF by regulating Relaxin and AGE-RAGE signaling pathways,and its material basis may be salvianolic acid B,hydroxysafflor yellow A and other components.

Objective To explore the effects of preoperative anxiety on intraoperative body temperature,adverse reactions during recovery and incision healing in elderly patients undergoing radical mastectomy under general anesthesia.Methods A total of 139 elderly patients who underwent radical mastectomy under general anesthesia in the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2020 to December 2022 were selected as the study objects,and they were divided into the non-anxiety group(87 cases)and the anxiety group(52 cases)according to whether they were complicated with anxiety before surgery.The nasopharyngeal temperature before surgery,after 30 minutes,60 minutes,90 minutes of surgery and at the end of surgery,the ratio of intraoperative nasopharyngeal temperature<36.0℃,the ratio of perioperative blood loss>300 mL,the occurrence of adverse reactions during the recovery period and the incision healing of patients in the two groups were compared.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the nasopharyngeal temperature before surgery and after 30 minutes of surgery of patients between the two groups(P>0.05).After 60 minutes,90 minutes of surgery and the end of surgery,the nasopharyngeal temperatures of patients in the anxiety group were lower than those in the non-anxietey group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).There were statistically significant differences in the nasopharyngeal temperature at different times of patients in the two groups(P<0.05).The ratios of patients with intraoperative nasopharyngeal temperature<36.0℃and perioperative blood loss>300 mL in the anxiety group were higher than those in the non-anxiety group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The incidence of delayed awakening,shivering reaction,and poor postoperative incision healing in the anxiety group were higher than those in the non-anxiety group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Conclusion Elderly patients undergoing radical mastectomy under general anesthesia combined with anxiety show obvious temperature drop after 60 minutes of surgery,and perioperative blood loss has significantly increased,with a higher incidence of intraoperative hypothermia,adverse reactions during recovery and poor postoperative incision healing,which should arouse clinical attention.

Gastric cancer is one of the most com-mon malignant tumors in the digestive system,which often occurs in middle-aged and elderly peo-ple.Traditional Chinese medicine recognizes gastric cancer as a kind of tumor characterized by fluid de-ficiency,heat accumulation and the growing bind-ing of toxins in the stomach.It is commonly treated with heat-clearing and detoxifying drugs in clinical practice.Hedyotis diffusa-Scutellaria barbata herb pair(HS)has the effects of clearing heat and detoxi-fying,promoting blood circulation,resolving car-buncle and expulsing boil,anti-inflammatory and analgesic,which are consistent with the etiology and pathogenesis of gastric cancer,therefore,it can be used for the treatment of gastric cancer.Modern pharmacological researches have con-firmed that HS can play an anti-gastric cancer role by inducing cell apoptosis,inhibiting cell prolifera-tion,inhibiting angiogenesis,improving immune mi-croenvironment and down-regulating telomerase activity.Herein,this review summarizes the active ingredients and related mechanism responsible for the anti-gastric cancer effect of HS,which will pro-vide the theoretical basis for its clinical use and the development of new drugs against gastric cancers.

In this study,the immunological characteristics of the PhoP protein were explored with a two-component system of Mycobacterium tuberculosis(Mtb).Bioinformatics was used to predict the B and T cell epitopes of the PhoP protein.A re-combinant expression plasmid was constructed by PCR analysis of the phoP sequence and cloning into the prokaryotic expres-sion vector pET-28a(+).Competent Escherichia coli BL21 cells were transformed with the recombinant plasmid and expres-sion was induced with IPTG.The recombinant PhoP protein was purified by affinity chromatography.Serum levels of PhoP-specific antibodies in Mtb-infected mice and tuberculosis(TB)patients were analyzed with an ELISA.BALB/c mice were im-munized with the PhoP recombinant protein by intramuscular injection.Sera of mice were collected and antibody titers were detected with an ELISA and specificity was assessed by West-ern blot analysis.Mouse splenocytes were isolated and the pro-portions of IFN-y-positive cells and cytokine levels were detec-ted with an ELISpot and ELISA,respectively.Bioinformatics i-dentified 24 B cell and 11 T cell epitopes of the PhoP protein.A prokaryotic recombinant vector of PhoP was successfully con-structed and the recombinant PhoP protein was obtained by purification.Specific antibody levels to PhoP in sera of Mtb in-fected mice and TB patients increased significantly,with preci-sion of 99.9％and 82.5％,and specificity of 100％,respectively.PhoP protein immunization successfully induced production of specific antibodies in mice.Stimulated by antigens in vitro,IL-2 and IFN-γ levels were significantly increased in the splenocytes of immunized mice.Immunization with the PhoP protein induce a humoral immune response and Thl-dominated cellular immu-nity,indicating that the PhoP protein was immunogenic with diagnostic efficacy for TB.These results lay a foundation to clari-fy the role of PhoP in Mtb infection and application for diagnosis and prevention of TB.

Objective This research aims to investigate the impact of Orff music therapy on long-term schizophrenic patients in hospitals.Methods The study was a randomized,single-blind controlled trial conducted from April,2023 to September,2023.From April to September 2023,sixty-eight individuals diagnosed with persistent schizophrenia were enrolled and evenly distributed into a pair of cohorts:a treatment group of thirty-four people receiving the intervention,and an equal number forming the control group for comparative purposes.Individuals enrolled in the experimental arm of the study were administered Orff-music therapy alongside routine rehabilitation treatment across a span of two months.For a period of 8 weeks,the control group was given only standard rehabilitation treatment,whereas the research group underwent Orff-music therapy in addition to the standard rehabilitation treatment.Results Before treatment,there were no significant differences in the positive and negative symptoms scale(PANSS),the inpatient psychosis rehabilitation observe scale(IPROS)and the personal and social performance scale(psp)between two groups.After intervention,the PANSS showed that the changes were better in the study group than in the control group in 3 indicators:negative symptoms(-3.20±4.13 vs.-0.17±2.43,P<0.001),general symptoms(-2.79±3.83 vs.-0.17±2.99,P=0.003)and the total scores(-5.88±6.36 vs.0.00±4.08,P<0.001),but not in positive symptoms(P>0.05).The IPROS showed that the performances of patients in the study group were better than the control group in terms of participation in work therapy(-0.82±2.08 vs.0.23±2.10,P=0.041),socialization(-0.59±1.94 vs.0.53±1.69,P=0.014)and ability to live(-0.94±2.50 vs.0.15±1.48,P=0.033),the changes in scores before and after the intervention were significantly different when compared to the control group.The PSP showed that the changes in scores before and after the treatment of the study group was better than the control group in terms of social activity[0(-1,0)vs.0(0,0),P=0.011],and self-care[0(-1,0)vs.0(-0.25,0),P=0.012]were better than the control group.Conclusion For long-term hospitalized patients with chronic schizophrenia.Orff-music therapy can be a powerful tool for alleviating mental issues,fostering social functioning,and enhancing rehabilitation results.

Objective To construct a rehabilitation care platform for spinal cord injury patients,based on patient portrait technology and to validate its application effect.Methods Artificial intelligence technology was used to realize the fusion of data.We constructed a patient portrait rehabilitation nursing system that can provide systematic and personalized information support.By the convenience sampling method,53 perioperative patients with spinal cord injury from July 2023 to December 2023 were selected as the test group to implement the intelligent intervention based on patient portrait technology;53 perioperative patients with spinal cord injury who were hospitalized from January 2023 to June 2023 were selected as the control group to implement the conventional information support intervention.The self-efficacy,self-care ability,and quality of life were compared before the intervention,and 2 weeks,4 weeks,12 weeks after the intervention between the 2 groups.Results 45 cases in the experimental group and 43 cases in the control group reached the endpoint of the study after 12 weeks of intervention.The ANOVA of the 2 groups showed the test group having a greater advantage over the control group,with statistically significant differences in self-efficacy,ability to perform daily living tasks,and quality of life between groups,intergroup effect,and interaction effect(P＜0.05).Conclusion The rehabilitation care platform based on patient portraits has a positive effect on improving self-efficacy,self-care ability and quality of life for spinal cord injury patients.

Objective To determine the impact of progressive rehabilitation intervention based on the FITT principle on the recovery of elderly patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardi-al infarction(STEMI)after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods A total of 184 STEMI patients admitted to our hospital between December 2021 and June 2023 were enrolled and randomly divided into a study group(n=92)and a control group(n=92).Routine rehabilita-tion intervention was given to the control group,and progressive rehabilitation intervention based on the FITT principle was given to the study group.Both groups were intervened for 12 weeks.Metabolite equivalents(MET)of the two groups were evaluated before and at 4,8 and 12 weeks after intervention.Their cardiopulmonary reserve function and quality of life were evaluated with cardiopulmonary exercise testing and myocardial infarction multidimensional assessment scale(MIDAS)before and at 12 weeks after intervention.The incidence of adverse cardiovascular events such as ventricular arrhythmia and heart failure(HF)during 6 months of follow-up was recorded.Results There were significant differences in two sets of MET value groups,time points,and group time point interactions(P＜0.01).No statistical difference was found in MET values be-tween the two groups before intervention(P＞0.05).The MET values were increased in both groups at 4,8 and 12 weeks after intervention than before intervention,and those in the study group were higher than those in the control group at above three time points(P＜0.05).Com-pared with before intervention,the peak oxygen uptake and anaerobic threshold oxygen uptake in 2 groups increased after intervention(P＜0.05).The peak oxygen uptake and anaerobic threshold oxygen uptake in the study group were higher than those in the control group[(23.52±1.86)ml/(min·kg)vs(21.36±2.60)ml/(min·kg),P＜0.01;(14.33±2.02)ml/(min·kg)vs(12.08±1.76)ml/(min·kg),P＜0.01];Compared with before intervention,the carbon dioxide ventilation equivalent slope of 2 groups decreased after intervention(P＜0.05).The carbon dioxide equivalent slope of the study group was lower than that of the control group(26.12±2.34 vs 28.10±2.52,P＜0.01).Compared with before intervention,the MIDAS score was decreased in both groups af-ter intervention(65.30±5.20 vs 96.64±7.33,P＜0.01;70.46±5.87 vs 95.80±7.26,P＜0.01),and the score of the study group was lower than that of the control group(65.30±5.20 vs 70.46±5.87,P＜0.01).After a 6-month follow-up,there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse cardiovascular events between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Progressive reha-bilitation interventions based on the FITT principle can promote exercise tolerance,improve car-diopulmonary reserve function,and enhance the quality of life of elderly STEMI patients after PCI.

Objective:This study aims to discuss the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric appendicovesical fistula (AVF).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of a pediatric patient with AVF admitted to our hospital in March 2023. The patient was a 6-year and 11-month old male who was hospitalized on March 21, 2023, due to difficulty urinating accompanied by diarrhea for two weeks. Computed tomography (CT) revealed bladder stones. The preoperative diagnosis was bladder stones. Transurethral cystoscopic lithotripsy with laser was performed under general anesthesia. Two weeks postoperatively, the child presented with recurrent symptoms of frequent urination, urinary pain, and diarrhea. Urine routine examination indicated a urinary tract infection. Over a month of antibiotic treatment was ineffective, and symptoms such as pneumaturia and fecaluria emerged, with exacerbation of diarrhea, suggesting the possibility of a fistulous tract between the child's intestine and bladder. Further bladder ultrasonography with contrast showed microbubbles of contrast medium leaking from the right posterior bladder wall into the intestinal tract. Enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated a small, sharp tube-like shadow at the upper edge of the right posterior bladder, with a strip-like, significantly enhanced shadow within the lumen. The preoperative diagnosis was revised to appendicovesical fistula. During cystoscopic examination, a papillary-like protrusion was identified on the right lateral wall of the bladder, with no evident orificium fistulae or foreign body discharge noted at the protrusion site. Consequently, robot-assisted laparoscopic partial cystectomy, appendectomy, and lysis of adhesions were performed.Results:The patient was administered antibiotic for a 10-day course of anti-infection and a urinary catheter was maintained for 13 days. The patient recovered entirely and had been discharged after the removal of the urinary catheter. At an 11-month follow-up, there were no reported specific discomforts.Conclusions:Pediatric AVF is rare, and bladder contrast-enhanced ultrasonography and MRI are preferred for initial diagnostic evaluation. The diagnosis can be confirmed by specific clinical presentations such as intermittent pneumaturia and fecaluria, diarrhea with bladder stones. Laparoscopic surgery or robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery could be a feasible treatment option.
