Objective:
To explore the mediating effects of psychological flexibility and exercise self-efficacy between frailty and social isolation among elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), so as to provide the basis for alleviating social isolation in this population.
Methods:
From July to November 2024, elderly patients with T2DM aged ≥65 years were selected by using the convenience sampling method from the endocrinology and geriatrics departments of a tertiary hospital in Shanxi Province. Demographic and clinical data were collected using structured questionnaires. Frailty was assessed using the FRAIL Scale, psychological flexibility was measured with the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II (AAQ-II), exercise self-efficacy was evaluated via the Chinese version of the Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale, and social isolation was quantified employing the General Alienation Scale. The mediating effects of psychological flexibility and exercise self-efficacy between frailty and social isolation were analyzed using the Process macro program.
Results:
A total of 300 elderly patients with T2DM were included, with a mean age of (71.16±4.88) years. There are 167 males (55.67%) and 133 females (44.33%). The mean scores for frailty, psychological flexibility, exercise self-efficacy, and social isolation were (2.82±1.59), (28.32±6.95), (5.69±1.20), and (39.27±9.24). Mediation analysis revealed that frailty positively affected social isolation (β=0.227, 95%CI: 0.132-0.323). It also indirectly positively influenced social isolation through psychological flexibility (β=0.165, 95%CI: 0.105-0.234) and exercise self-efficacy (β=0.150, 95%CI: 0.093-0.217), and the chained mediating effect of psychological flexibility and exercise self-efficacy (β=0.066, 95%CI: 0.038-0.100).
Conclusion
Frailty exacerbates social isolation by diminishing psychological flexibility and exercise self-efficacy among elderly patients with T2DM.

OBJECTIVE To characterize paclitaxel nanoparticles (PTX-PLGA-NPs) and evaluate their in vitro inhibitory effect on Lewis lung cancer cells. METHODS The PTX-PLGA-NPs prepared by the emulsion-solvent evaporation method were characterized in terms of particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), Zeta potential, microscopic morphology, encapsulation efficiency, drug loading, ultraviolet-visible absorption characteristics and stability. Using mouse Lewis lung cancer cells as the subjects and paclitaxel reference substance as the control, the cytotoxicity and in vitro killing activity of PTX-PLGA-NPs were detected using CCK-8 method and Calcein-AM/PI double staining method, respectively. The effects of PTX-PLGA-NPs on cell apoptosis and cell cycle were assessed by Annexin Ⅴ-FITC/PI staining method and PI staining method, respectively. RESULTS PTX-PLGA-NPs were spherical with an average particle size of (172.03±0.95) nm, PDI of 0.098±0.012, and Zeta potential of (-1.76±0.02) mV. The encapsulation efficiency and drug loading were (52.32±0.66)% and (7.07±0.18)%, respectively, and the ultraviolet-visible absorption characteristics were not affected by the carrier polylactic-co-glycolic acid. When stored in the dark at 4 °C for 7 days, no significant change was noted in particle size, and the average PDI (after 1, 2, 4 and 7 days of storage) was under 0.3. Compared with the paclitaxel reference substance group, the PTX-PLGA-NPs group had more cells in a state of death, the survival rate (at the PTX concentration of 11.2 μg/mL) was significantly decreased, and both the apoptosis rate and the proportion of G2 phase cells were significantly increased (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The prepared PTX-PLGA-NPs indicate homogeneity in particle size, uniform dispersion, stable properties, and stronger in vitro killing effect on lung cancer cells than PTX.

Objective:
Previous research has explored a variety of mental disorders associated with Internet Gaming Disoder (IGD) and Social Media Addiction (SMA). To date, few studies focused on the network characteristics and investigated mood and sleep symptoms across SMA and IGD of adolescence at a group-specific level. This study aims to identify different characteristics of IGD and SMA and further determine the group-specific psychopathology process among adolescents.
Methods:
We conducted a cross-sectional study to recruit a cohort of 7,246 adolescents who were scored passing the cutoff point of Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form and Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale, as grouped in IGD and SMA, or otherwise into the control group. Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index were assessed for the current study, and all assessed items were investigated using network analysis.
Results:
Based on the analytical procedure, the participants were divided into three groups, the IGD group (n=789), SMA group (n=713) and control group (n=5,744). The edge weight bootstrapping analysis shows that different groups of networks reach certain accuracy, and the network structures of the three groups are statistically different (pcontrol-IGD=0.004, pcontrol-SMA<0.001, pIGD-SMA<0.001). The core symptom of SMA is “feeling down, depressed, or hopeless”, while IGD is “feeling tired or having little energy”.
Conclusion
Although IGD and SMA are both subtypes of internet addiction, the psychopathology processes of IGD and SMA are different. When dealing with IGD and SMA, different symptoms should be addressed.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common clinical acute abdominal disease, which is characterized by acute onset, rapid development, severe disease, many complications, and high mortality rate. It can progress to severe AP (SAP) if not treated promptly in the early stage. The pathogenesis of AP is complex and involves multiple cellular and molecular levels. It is now clear that oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production are involved in the physiopathological process of AP, which is associated with a low quantity and activity of antioxidant enzymes in pancreatic cells. Nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) serves as the ''golden key'' to maintain redox homeostasis in tissue cells and constitutes an important signaling pathway for antioxidant response and inflammation in vivo by collaborating with downstream antioxidant enzymes such as heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). Traditional Chinese medicine has unique efficacy in treating diseases due to its multi-component, multi-target, multi-drug delivery, and multi-formulation characteristics. Based on the concept of synergy between traditional Chinese and Western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine is becoming a new craze in the treatment of AP. The level of oxidative stress and Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway in AP pancreatic tissue are in a dynamic change process, and the intervention of traditional Chinese medicine can clean ROS production, affect the inflammatory pathway, and reduce oxidative stress damage, so as to protect against pancreatic injury. This suggests that this pathway plays an important role in AP. This article reviews the recent literature on the regulation of the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway by traditional Chinese medicine for AP and summarizes that the monomers of traditional Chinese medicine targeting this pathway are mainly heat-clearing and detoxifying, blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing, and Qi benefiting and middle warming, and the compounds of traditional Chinese medicine include Yinchenhao Decoction and QingYi Ⅱ, so as to provide a new direction for the prevention and treatment of AP and further drug development.
