Based on the theory of diseased collaterals and the progression pattern of diabetic kidney disease （DKD）， this paper proposes a staged treatment system based on the "three states of kidney collaterals" including collateral distention， collateral bi （痹） and collateral accumulation. In the collateral distention stage， the primary pathogenesis is heat damaging the kidney collaterals and collateral vessel dilation， corresponding to the early state of DKD characterized by hyperfiltration and microalbuminuria； the clearing method is suggested， and Shenling Jiangtang Formula （参苓降糖方） can be used to promote the remission of proteinuria by ameliorating insulin resistance and regulating intestinal microecology. In the collateral bi stage， the core pathogenesis lies in the binding of phlegm and stasis， and the formation of concretions and conglomerations in the kidney collaterals， corresponding to massive proteinuria and the decline of renal function， for which the unblocking method should be taken， using Jinchan Yishen Tongluo Formula （金蝉益肾通络方） and Qingre Xiaozheng Formula （清热消癥方） to alleviate renal pathological damage by regulating the autophagy-lysosome pathway and repairing mitochondrial energy metabolism. The collateral accumulation stage is characterized by the internal retention of turbid toxins and accumulations of concretions in the kidney collaterals， corresponding to renal fibrosis and end-stage renal disease （ESRD）； the dispersion method is suggested， and Yiqi Tongluo Xiezhuo Formula （益气通络泄浊方） and Shenyan Fangshuai Fluid （肾炎防衰液） can be used to inhibit extracellular matrix accumulation and delay the progressive loss of renal function. Collateral deficiency runs through the entire course of the disease and is closely related to cellular senescence and the imbalance of the ubiquitin-proteasome/autophagy system. The concept of the "three states of kidney collaterals" integrates the evolution of traditional Chinese medicine pathogenesis with modern pathological staging， forming a whole-course intervention system of "staging-syndrome differentiation-target-formula"， thereby providing novel insights for prevention and treatment of DKD using integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of cathepsin B(CTSB)/NOD-like receptor pyrin domain containing 3(NLRP3)pathway on the polarization of macrophages induced by LPS.Methods:The well-growing RAW264.7 mouse mononuclear macrophage lines were cultured in vitro and divided into 3 groups(n=6)according to the random number table method:control group(C group),LPS group(L group)and LPS+CA074-me(CTSB inhibitors)group(B group).C group was cultured normally for 24 h,L group was cultured with LPS concentration of 1 μg/ml medium for 24 h.B group was pretreated with CTSB inhibitor CA074-me 30 μmol/L for 1 h before LPS induction,and co-cultured with LPS concentration of 1 μg/ml medium for 24 h.After 24 hours,the morphological changes of the cells were observed by microscope,the concentrations of IL-1β and IL-18 in the supernatant were determined by ELISA.The ex-pressions of cathepsin B precursor(pro-CTSB),mature cathepsin B(mature-CTSB),NLRP3,apoptosis-related speck protein(ASC)and apoptosis-related speck protein-1(caspase-1)were detected by Western blot.The mRNA expression levels of CD32,inducible ni-tric oxide synthase(iNOS),arginase 1(Arg-1)and CD206 were detected by qRT-PCR.The positive expression rates of M1 macro-phage surface marker CD86 and M2 macrophage surface marker CD206 were detected by flow cytometry.Results:Compared with group C,the morphology of cells in groups L and B became larger and pseudopodia appeared.The concentrations of IL-1β and IL-18 in cell supernatant were increased,the expressions of pro-CTSB,mature-CTSB,NLRP3,ASC and caspase-1 were increased,and the expressions of CD32,iNOS mRNA were up-regulated and the positive rates of CD86 and CD206 were increased(P<0.01).Arg-1 and CD206 mRNA in group B were up-regulated(P<0.01).Compared with group L,the pseudopodia of group B were reduced,and the morphology was closer to group C.The concentration of IL-1β and IL-18 in the supernatant,the expression of mature-CTSB,NLRP3,ASC and caspase-1,CD32 and iNOS mRNA and the positive rate of CD86 were down-regulated in group B.The expression of pro-CTSB,Arg-1 and CD206 mRNA and the positive rate of CD206 were increased(P<0.01).Conclusion:Inhibition of CTSB/NLRP3 pathway can reduce the inflammatory response,reduce the LPS-induced polarization of RAW264.7 cells to M1 macrophages,and pro-mote their polarization to M2 macrophages.

Objective:To construct a lentiviral interference plasmid targeting collapse response regulatory protein 1(CRMP1)gene,to establish a human neuroblastoma cell line(SH-SY5Y)with stable CRMP1 knockdown,and to investigate its impact on expression of NLRP3 inflammasome protein.Methods:Double-stranded shRNA was designed and synthesized targeting h-CRMP1 mRNA sequence,and cloned into PLKO.1 vector.Recombinant shCRMP1 plasmids were constructed correctly,which was transfected into HEK-293T cells for lentiviral packaging.Obtained lentivirus supernatant was concentrated and then infected into SH-SY5Y cells.The interference effect of shCRMP1 plasmid and protein expressions of NLRP3 inflammasome components in SH-SY5Y cells were detected by Western blot.Results:DNA sequencing results showed that insertion sequences of recombinant interference plasmids pLKO.1-shCRMP1 were consistent with designed sequences,which confirmed successful construction of shCRMP1 lentivirus interfering plasmids and transfected into HEK-293T cells for lentivirus packaging,and protein level of CRMP1 in HEK-293T cells were decreased.SH-SY5Y cells were infected with lentivirus concentrate obtained from packaging and screened with puromycin.Western blot results showed that shCRMP1 recombinant lentiviral plasmids could significantly down-regulate CRMP1 protein expression in SH-SY5Y cells.It was also found that in SH-SY5Y cell line with stable CRMP1 knockdown,inhibition of CRMP1 expression could effectively inhibit NLRP3 inflammasome activation under MPP+induction.Conclusion:pLKO.1-shCRMP1 lentiviral interfering plas-mids have been successfully constructed,and interference with CRMP1 can inhibit activation of NLRP3 inflammasome in MPP+-in-duced SH-SY5Y cells.This study provides guidance for further research on mechanism of CRMP1 in neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease.

Objective:To explore the potential profile characteristics and influencing factors of rehabilitation motivation in elderly patients with first stroke, so as to provide reference for promoting precise rehabilitation mode.Methods:A convenience sampling method was employed to conduct a cross-sectional survey of elderly patients with first stroke admitted to the Huanhu Hospital Affiliated to Tianjin Medical University from October 2024 to March 2025. The survey utilized a general information questionnaire, the Motivation in Stroke Patients for Rehabilitation Scale, the Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), the Exercise Adherence Questionnaire (EAQ), and the Stroke Stigma Scale (SSS). Potential categories of rehabilitation motivation among elderly patients with first stroke were identified using latent profile analysis, and the influencing factors of these potential categories were explored using the ordered multinomial Logistic regression.Results:A total of 290 survey questionnaires were distributed, and 281 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective response rate of 96.9%(281/290). Among 281 elderly patients with first stroke, there were 152 males and 129 females, with an age of (68.68 ± 6.89) years. The score of the Motivation in Stroke Patients for Rehabilitation Scale was 56.00 (36.00, 68.00) points. Rehabilitation motivation among elderly patients with first stroke could be categorized into three groups: low motivation-lack of family support and unclear goals group (44.1%, 124/281), moderate motivation-social reintegration driven but insufficient behavior group (41.3%, 116/281), and high motivation autonomous planning adaptation and value internalization group (14.6%, 41/281). The ordered multinomial Logistic regression analysis showed that compared to patients aged ≥80 years, patients aged 60-69 years were less likely to belong to the high motivation autonomous planning adaptation and value internalization group ( OR=0.231, P<0.05). Compared to patients with a per capita monthly income of ≥5 001 yuan, patients with a per capita monthly income of 3 001-5 000 yuan were more likely to belong to the high motivation autonomous planning adaptation and value internalization group ( OR=2.340, P<0.05). Compared to heavily dependent patients, patients who were completely independent ( OR=0.160, P<0.05), mildly dependent ( OR=0.155, P<0.01), and moderately dependent ( OR=0.211, P<0.05) were less likely to belong to the high motivation autonomous planning adaptation and value internalization group. The higher the EAQ score, the more likely patients were to belong to the high motivation autonomous planning adaptation and value internalization group ( OR=1.139, P<0.01). The higher the PSSS score, the more likely patients were to belong to the high motivation autonomous planning adaptation and value internalization group ( OR=1.108, P<0.01). The higher the SSS score, the less likely patients were to belong to the high motivation autonomous planning adaptation and value internalization group ( OR=0.787, P<0.01). Conclusions:Healthcare professionals can develop targeted intervention strategies based on the characteristics and influencing factors of patients' different rehabilitation motivations, thereby enhancing their rehabilitation motivation and promoting patient recovery.

Objective:To explore the potential categories of internal ability of elderly patients with ischemic stroke, identify the influencing factors and propose corresponding nursing interventions.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. From January 2025 to May 2025, the elderly patients with ischemic stroke in Tianjin Huanhu Hospital were selected by convenient sampling method. The general information questionnaire, the Internal Capacity Assessment Scale for the Older People, the Health Literacy Scale for stroke patients and the Perceived Social Support Scale were used to investigate. To determine latent categories of patients' intrinsic capacity, potential profile analysis was employed. Subsequently, multivariable Logistic regression examined factors associated with these categories.Results:A total of 260 survey questionnaires were distributed, and 256 valid questionnaires were finally collected, with an effective response rate of 98.46% (256/260). Among of them, there were 166 males and 90 females, aged 68.00 (63.00, 74.00) years.The intrinsic ability of elderly patients with ischemic stroke could be divided into three potential categories: low sensation-low exercise group (27.0%, 69/256), relatively stable intrinsic ability group (37.5%, 96/256) and low cognition-low psychology group (35.5%, 91/256). Multivariable Logistic regression showed that advanced age (compared to the low sensation-low exercise group, OR=0.902; compared to the relatively stable intrinsic ability group, OR=0.813), smoking (compared to the low sensation-low exercise group, OR=0.459; compared to the relatively stable intrinsic ability group, OR=0.442), the lower the Barthel index (compared to the low sensation-low exercise group, ≤40 points with OR=0.157; 41-60 points with OR=0.285) were more likely to enter the low cognition-low psychology group (all P<0.05); other chronic disease types ≤1 (compared to the low cognition-low psychology group, OR=2.630), higher health literacy scores (compared to the low cognition-low psychology group, OR=1.033) were more likely to enter the relatively stable intrinsic ability group (both P<0.05); and stroke frequency was the first occurrence (compared to the low cognition-low psychology group, OR=2.725) was more likely to enter the low sensation-low exercise group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:In older adults with ischemic stroke, the characteristics of intrinsic ability are clearly categorized. To enhance patient outcomes, healthcare professionals are advised to tailor nursing interventions based on the unique features and specific influencing factors associated with each potential category.

Objective To investigate the reciprocal relationships between trajectories of depressive symptoms(DS)and cognitive function(CF)and to provide a basis for formulating comprehensive management for depression and cognitive impairment among older adults.Methods Group－based dual trajectory modelling was performed to identify dual trajectories of DS and CF usinglongitudinal data from the Chinese Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study.Results 3076 older adults were included in the analysis.Four trajectories of DS(DS1~DS4)were determined:constantly low(30.7%),mild increasing lightly(46.7%),moderately decreasing(19.0%),and constantly high(3.6%);four trajectories of CF(CF1~CF4):persistently high(8.3%),suboptimal slowly decline(51.8%),middle rapidly decline(33.8%)and low rapidly decline(6.1%).Compared with DS 1,the elderly in DS 2~4 were more likely to experience CF 3 and CF 4.Using CF 1 as a reference,the elderly in CF 2~4 were more likely to follow DS 2~4.Conclusion GBMDT captures the degree of overlap and dynamic developmental associations between developmental trajectories for DS and CF among Chinese elderly.

Objective:To explore the degree of change in anteversion angle and related risk factors after intramedullary nail fixation of intertrochanteric femur fracture in the elderly.Methods:The data of 256 elderly patients who underwent intramedullary nail fixation for intertrochanteric fractures of the femur at Tianjin Hospital of Tianjin University from March 2020 to March 2023 were selected, including 114 males and 142 females, with an age of 75.40±10.69 years (range, 65-94 years). The degree of change in the anteversion angle of the affected hip before and after the surgery was measured by CT scan of the hip, the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (ROC) was plotted, the area under the ROC curve was analyzed, and the optimal degree of grouping was determined by calculating the Youden Index, then all the patients were divided into two groups. The correlation between various risk factors (age, sex, type of internal fixation, fracture AO type, quality of reduction, fracture medial cortical defect or not, cusp distance) and the change of anterior tilt angle was screened by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses.Results:All 256 patients were followed up for 20.7±2.1 months (range, 18-23 months). Anteversion on the healthy side was 12.68°±5.10° (range, 5°-28°); postoperative anteversion on the affected side was 15.04°±7.67° (range, 9°-36°). By comparing the difference in the anterior tilt angle between the affected side and the healthy side, it was found that the anterior tilt angle of 67 patients was completely restored to the healthy side level after the operation. The anteversion angle was enlarged in 131 cases, of which the mildly increased angle (1°-9°) was found in 106 cases, moderately increased (10°-15°) was found in 17 cases, and significantly increased (>15°) was found in 8 cases; 58 patients showed anteversion angle reduction, of which 45 cases were mildly reduced (1°-9°), 13 cases were moderately reduced (10°-14°). The area under the ROC curve for the patient's anteversion angle and its 95% CI were 0.714(0.559, 0.867), and the maximum value of its Youden Index was 0.221, which corresponded to the optimal critical angle of 4°. There was no statistically significant difference in age, gender, reduction quality or fracture AO classification between the group with an anteversion angle>4° and the group with an anteversion angle≤4° ( P>0.05). The types of internal fixation, medial cortical defect and insufficient tip apex distance (TAD) were included in the binary variable logistic regression analysis. The results showed that single-nail internal fixation [ OR=0.412, 95% CI(0.244, 0.695), P=0.007], medial cortical defect [ OR=0.471, 95% CI(0.279, 0.793), P=0.009] and TAD>25 mm [ OR=0.367, 95% CI(0.207, 0.651), P=0.003] are independent risk factors for changes in anteversion angle after intramedullary nail fixation of intertrochanteric femur fractures in elderly. Conclusion:Single-nail internal fixation, medial cortical defect and TAD >25 mm are independent risk factors for the change of anteversion angle after intramedullary nail internal fixation of intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly.

Multi-conjugate vaccine and polyvalent vaccine can reduce the number of vaccinations, improve vaccination efficiency, and provide wider protection against diseases, and can not only brings convenience to recipients but also reduce healthcare costs, making it a key focus in modern vaccine development. However, even if the components of the vaccine are derived from already approved monovalent vaccines, it must still be considered as a new vaccine and undergo randomized controlled clinical trials to evaluate their safety and efficacy in humans. Due to the inclusion of multiple antigens, clinical evaluation must consider the potential interactions between or among the components, as well as the impacts of adjuvants, preservatives, and other ingredients on the vaccines' safety and efficacy. These factors introduce certain specific challenges in the clinical evaluation of multi-conjugate vaccine and polyvalent vaccine. This article summarizes the key elements and methods of clinical study design for multi-conjugate vaccine and polyvalent vaccine in terms of safety, immunogenicity, and protective efficacy, and discuss the problems and challenges exisitng in vaccine clinical evaluation to provide reference for the standardization of clinical study design of multi-conjugate vaccine and polyvalent vaccine.
