BACKGROUND:The quadriceps strength of patients with osteoporosis and sarcopenia is significantly reduced,which can further reduce the function of the knee joint,affect the function of the lower limbs and even lead to a decrease in whole-body coordination.It is speculated that a reasonable quadriceps training program and personalized guidance are beneficial to the recovery of knee joint function in patients with osteoporosis and sarcopenia.OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of short-term moderate-intensity resistance rehabilitation training on the mass and function of the quadriceps and knee joint function in patients with osteoporosis and sarcopenia.METHODS:Using the integrated physical examination and rehabilitation model,375 patients with osteoporosis and sarcopenia were screened at the Health Management Center of Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center.They underwent 12 weeks of combined/comprehensive exercise rehabilitation based on resistance exercise,including quadriceps resistance isotonic and isometric contraction training twice a week(3-5 sets each time,10-15 minutes per set)and aerobic exercise/balance exercise two or three times a week(30 minutes each time).Assessments and data collection were performed before rehabilitation training,12 weeks after rehabilitation training,and at follow-up 12 weeks after stopping rehabilitation training,mainly including knee joint range of motion and proprioception,quadriceps muscle strength,and cross-sectional area(magnetic resonance imaging results),pain,knee joint function(Hospital for Special Surgery score)and walking function("up-and-go"time and 6 m pace test results)as well as the patient's psychological status assessment.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:All 375 patients completed 12 weeks of rehabilitation training and 12 weeks of follow-up without any adverse events.(1)Compared with before training,the patients' gait speed and knee range of motion increased significantly after 12 weeks of rehabilitation training(P＜0.01),the time of"stand-to-walk"decreased(P＜0.01),and the proprioception of the knee joint and the strength of the quadriceps femoris were significantly improved(P＜0.01);and at the follow-up visit 12 weeks after stopping training,the above indicators and functions of the patients were well maintained(P＞0.05).(2)Magnetic resonance imaging results showed that the effective cross-sectional area of the quadriceps femoris did not improve significantly after 12 weeks of rehabilitation training(P＞0.05);but the Hospital for Special Surgery score of knee joint function increased significantly(P＜0.01),and the visual analog pain scale score decreased significantly(P＜0.01),suggesting that this may be related to the improvement of quadriceps femoris quality by resistance rehabilitation training.(3)The results of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale score showed that the anxiety and depression scores of the patients continued to decrease,both at 12 weeks of rehabilitation training and at 12 weeks after stopping training(P＜0.01).It is suggested that resistance rehabilitation training of the quadriceps can help patients with osteoporosis and sarcopenia to restore quadriceps muscle strength,increase range of motion,improve proprioception and joint stability,thereby enhancing knee joint function,reducing pain,improving depression and anxiety,and to a certain extent promoting the coordinated recovery of the musculoskeletal system.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of exogenous nitric oxide （NO） on the accumulation and quality formation mechanism of flavonoids in Scutellariae Radix. MethodsFresh roots of Scutellaria baicalensis were treated with sodium nitroprusside （SNP） solutions at concentrations of 0.0， 7.5， and 20 mmol·L^-1， respectively. Kits and supporting reaction systems were used to determine the following indicators of samples in each group， including （1） reactive oxygen species： changes in the content of nitric oxide （NO）， superoxide anion （O2-·）， and hydrogen peroxide （H₂O₂）， （2） lipid oxidation products： changes in the content of malondialdehyde （MDA）， （3） antioxidant enzymes： changes in the activity of superoxide dismutase （SOD）， catalase （CAT）， and peroxidase （POD）， and （4） metabolic key enzymes and metabolic intermediates： Changes in the activity of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase （PAL） and the content of 1，3-diphosphoglycerate （1，3-DPG）. High-performance liquid chromatography （HPLC） was used to determine the changes in the content of secondary metabolites in flavonoids such as baicalin， wogonoside， baicalein， and wogonin in each group. ResultsCompared with that on day 0， during the treatment with 20 mmol·L^-1 SNP solution， the content of NO， O2-·， H₂O₂， and MDA in fresh roots of Scutellaria baicalensis increased significantly （P<0.01）， by 138.7%， 75.7%， 292.9%， and 140.3% respectively. The activity of SOD， CAT， and POD increased by 100.7%， 41.4%， and 70.4% respectively （P<0.01）， and that of PAL increased by 111.1% （P<0.01）. The content of the secondary metabolites baicalin and wogonoside remained basically unchanged， while that of baicalein and wogonin increased by 401.3% and 457.9% respectively （P<0.01）. The content of 1，3-DPG increased by 165.0% （P<0.01）. In the 7.5 mmol·L^-1 SNP solution treatment group， the stress degree was relatively mild. Compared with that on day 0， the content of NO， O2-·， H₂O₂， and MDA increased by 76.2%， 57.7%， 221.4%， and 99.7% respectively （P<0.01）. The activity of antioxidant enzymes SOD， CAT， and POD increased by 79.5%， 55.6%， and 51.9% respectively （P<0.01）， and that of PAL increased by 69.0% （P<0.01）. The content of baicalein and wogonin increased by 204.7% and 272.2% respectively （P<0.01）， and that of 1，3-DPG increased by 128.0% （P<0.01）. The 20 mmol·L^-1 SNP group showed better performance than the 7.5 mmol·L^-1 SNP group. ConclusionSNP can simulate the physiological state of Scutellaria baicalensis under stress conditions， activate the antioxidant protection mechanism， promote the biosynthesis of flavonoids in Scutellariae Radix， and significantly improve the quality of medicinal materials in Scutellariae Radix.

OBJECTIVE Identify the incentive and constraint factors of artificial intelligence （AI） application in the pharmaceutical field， and promote the application of AI in the field of pharmacy. METHODS Based on the technology acceptance model （TAM）， technology-organization-environment （TOE） framework， and diffusion of innovation theory （DOI）， a TAM-TOE-DOI integrated framework was constructed through a four-stage research process of “theoretical review → dimension mapping → mechanism integration → proposition development”. Combining the analytical pathways of the above three theories in AI application in pharmacy with the integration mechanisms and core propositions of the TAM-TOE-DOI， literature review and deductive reasoning were employed to systematically identify the incentive and constraint factors of AI application in pharmacy from three levels：micro （TAM）， meso （TOE）， and macro （DOI）， and to propose optimization strategies. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS At the micro level， the efficiency transformation and quality improvement brought by AI technology were the main incentive factors for perceived usefulness， while technological complexity and algorithmic opacity were the main constraint factors for perceived ease of use. At the meso level， the completeness of technological infrastructure， the strength of top management support and innovation climate， as well as external institutional pressure and competitive driving forces were the core incentive factors， whereas scarcity of organizational resources and talent shortage were the main constraint factors. At the macro level， relative advantage and observability were typical incentive factors， while technological complexity was a typical constraint factor. China’s health administration， medical insurance authorities， and other relevant departments should coordinate efforts at the macro， meso， and micro levels to advance AI application in pharmacy： optimizing human-computer interaction and implementing tiered training programs at the micro level； reinforcing organizational support systems and capacity building at the meso level； dismantling data barriers and building social trust at the macro level. Differentiated implementation pathways should be developed for medical institutions at different tiers.

Huangqintang， with its accurate efficacy， is a classic formula specialized in treating dysentery recommended and promoted by medical experts from successive generations， and it was included in the Catalogue of Ancient Classic Prescriptions （the Second Batch， Han Chinese medicine prescriptions） published by the National Administration of Traditional Chinses Medicine （TCM） in 2023. The method of bibliometrics was applied in this study to conduct textual research on the classic formula Huangqintang and provide a literature reference for the development of modern preparations of Huangqintang. A total of 2 026 pieces of ancient literature were searched with "Huangqintang" as the key word， and 23 pieces of effective data were selected， involving 15 ancient TCM books. The historic evolution， composition， dosage， origin， processing methods， preparation and decocting methods， efficiency， and application of Huangqintang were carefully reviewed. The results showed that Huangqintang was first recorded in the Treatise on Febrile Diseases written by ZHANG Zhongjing. It has the effect of clearing heat， stopping dysentery， regulating the middle， and downbearing counterflow and has become one of the classic formulas widely used in clinical practice. Because of its accurate efficacy， medical experts from later generations have modified it from its original composition. Though many prescriptions have different names， it is the manifestation of physicians' inheritance and development of the thought of ZHANG Zhongjing. Ancient literature showed this prescription had wide indications yet centered on digestive system diseases such as dysentery and abdominal pain. Modern applications of Huangqintang involve digestive， respiratory， ophthalmology and otolaryngology， gynecological， skin， musculoskeletal system， and connective tissue， and this prescription has great potential in treating ulcerative colitis， diarrhea， acute enteritis， and damp-heat dysentery. Through a systematic textual excavation and review of the ancient literature about Huangqintang， the paper has confirmed its key information， so as to provide a scientific basis for the clinical application and new drug development of classic formulas.

Objective To explore the characteristics and prognosis of follicular lymphoma(FL)with bulky disease under rituximab-based first-line treatment.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 525 FL patients diagnosed between September 2009 and September 2021 who received rituximab as a first-line treat-ment[342 patients received rituximab combined with chemotherapy(R-chemo),183 patients received rituximab plus lenalidomide(R2)].The clinicopathologic characteristics,gene mutations,and prognosis of bulky FL patients were analyzed.Results Compared to non-bulky FL patients,bulky FL patients had a significantly higher proportion of lymph node≥5 sites,≥2 extranodal involvement,bone marrow involvement,elevated LDH,and a higher proportion in the high-risk group of FLIPI1 and FLIPI2.Gene sequencing revealed a significantly higher mutation rate of ZNF608 in bulky FL patients compared to non-bulky FL patients.In patients receiving R-chemo as the first-line treatment,there was no significant difference in progression-free survival(PFS)and overall survival(OS)between bulky and non-bulky FL patients.However,in patients treated with R2,the PFS and OS of bulky FL patients was significantly shorter.Conclusions Bulky FL patients compared to non-bulky FL patients have a significantly higher proportion of high-risk baseline characteristics.For bulky FL at diagnosis,chemo-free regimens require further exploration on the basis of R2.

Objective:To explore the impulsivity characteristics of patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD)comorbid with borderline personality disorder(BPD)and the mediating role of emotion regula-tion strategies.Methods:A total of 96 patients with ADHD meeting the diagnostic criteria of the American Diagnos-tic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,Fourth Edition(DSM-Ⅳ)were enrolled,48 of whom had comorbid BPD.Impulsivity was assessed with the Barratt Impulse Scale(BIS)and the impulse control difficulty dimensions of Emotional Regulation Difficulty Scale(DERS).Emotion regulation strategies were evaluated with the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire(ERQ).Results:No significant differences were found between the ADHD with and with-out BPD group in cognitive impulsivity,motor impulsivity,or non-planning impulsivity as assessed with the BIS(Ps＞0.05).However,the ADHD with BPD group showed higher scores on the DERS impulse control difficulty subscale(P＜0.001)and less frequent use of cognitive reappraisal strategies(P＜0.001).Cognitive reappraisal partially mediated the relationship between ADHD with BPD and impulse control difficulties,with an effect size of 25.9％.Conclusion:ADHD patients comorbid with BPD exhibit heightened emotional impulsivity,which might be partially mediated by reduced use of cognitive reappraisal.

Objective To explore the effect of the preservation of infrapatellar fat pad on pain,incision healing and function recovery in patients with knee osteoarthritis after joint replacement.Methods The clinical data of 127 patients with knee osteoarthritis who underwent joint replacement in the hospital from June 2019 to September 2022 were retrospectively collected.According to the preservation of infrapatellar fat pad,the subjects were divided into a control group(removing infrapatellar fat pad,67 cases)and an observation group(preserving infrapatellar fat pad,60 cases).The changes in length of patellar tendon,pain,knee function and range of motion were analyzed.The occurrence of adverse reactions was statistically analyzed.Results At 12 months after surgery,the length of patellar tendon was reduced.The length of patellar tendon in observation group[(38.8±6.24)mm]was longer than that in control group[(36.2±6.71)mm](P＜0.05).Observation group of patellar tendon length rate is lower than the control group[(4.1±1.18)％vs(10.7±3.01)％],there was statistical significance between the two groups(P＜0.05).Pain in both groups was alleviated at 1 month,3 months,6 months and 12 months after surgery.The changes in observation group were greater than those in control group(P＜0.05).During follow-up,the incidence of adverse reactions in observation group(6.67％)was lower than that in control group(14.93％)(P＞0.05).The range of motion and function of knee joint were improved at 12 months after surgery,and the improvement in observation group was greater than that in control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Preserving infrapatellar fat pad is more beneficial to relieving postoperative pain and restoring knee function in patients with knee osteoarthritis after joint replacement.Therefore,the intact infrapatellar fat pad should be preserved as possible in clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of fluoroscopically-guided percutaneous gastrostomy (FGPG) for establishing enteral nutrition access in the treatment of esophageal fistula after radiotherapy for cervical esophageal cancer (CEC).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 54 patients who underwent FGPG due to esophageal fistula after radiotherapy for CEC at our department from November 2009 to August 2019. All patients received endoscopy before radiotherapy, and CEC was pathologically confirmed. Enteral nutrition support was offered through a gastrostomy tube postoperatively. The success rate of FGPG, complications, and healing of perforation were recorded and analyzed.Results:FGPG was successfully performed in all 54 patients (100%). During the 12-month follow-up, 50 patients (92.6) survived while four (7.4%) died. Among 36 patients with esophagomediastinal fistula, 32 (88.9%) healed in a median of 12 weeks; of 18 patients with esophagotracheal fistula, 8 (44.4%) healed in a median of 18 weeks. Thus, patients with esophagomediastinal fistula had a significantly higher healing rate ( P<0.01) and shorter healing time ( P=0.017). Gastrostomy tube-related complications were minimal, and no serious complication was noted. Conclusions:FGPG is effective for the treatment of esophageal fistula after CEC radiotherapy and may be an alternative treatment for esophageal fistula.
