ObjectiveTo investigate the role of the Toll-like receptor 4 （TLR4）/myeloid differentiation factor 88 （MyD88）/nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB） signaling pathway in intestinal mucosal barrier damage in ulcerative colitis， as well as the intervention mechanism of Shaoyaotang. MethodsSixty SD rats were allocated into a blank group， a model group， a mesalazine （0.42 g·kg^-1） group， and low-， medium-， and high-dose （11.1， 22.2， 44.4 g·kg^-1， respectively） Shaoyaotang groups. A model of ulcerative colitis was induced by 2，4，6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid （TNBS）. After successful modeling， rats were administrated with corresponding agents via gavage for 7 days. Changes in colon length and colon weight were observed. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was performed to examine the pathological changes of the colon， and immunohistochemistry was employed to detect the expression of the inflammatory cytokine interleukin-8 （IL-8）， cyclooxygenase-2 （COX-2）， junction adhesion molecule-1 （JAM-1）， and claudin-1 in the colon. Western blot analysis was performed to determine the protein levels of TLR4， MyD88， and NF-κB in the colon. ResultsCompared with the blank group， the model group showed elevated DAI score （P<0.01）， reduced colon length and colon weight （P<0.01）， down-regulated protein levels of JAM-1 and claudin-1 （P<0.01）， and up-regulated protein levels of IL-8， COX-2， TLR4， MyD88， and NF-κB p65 （P<0.01） in the colon tissue. Compared with the model group， each treatment group showed decreased DAI score （P<0.05， P<0.01）， increased colon length and colon weight （P<0.05， P<0.01）， up-regulated protein levels of JAM-1 and claudin-1 （P<0.01）， and down-regulated protein levels of IL-8， COX-2， TLR4， MyD88， and NF-κB p65 （P<0.01） in the colon tissue. ConclusionShaoyaotang alleviates intestinal inflammation and intestinal mucosal damage to protect intestinal barrier integrity by regulating the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Objective To evaluate the test-retest reliability of the ballistic push-up(BPU)test and establish predictive models for upper-limb strength and explosive power in young males.Methods A total of 71 male college students performed assessments of upper-limb bench press 1 repetition maximum(1RM)strength,bench press explosive power,and two BPU tests with a 48-hour interval.BPU test data were recorded using a three-dimensional(3D)force platform and motion capture system to calculate concentric metrics such as peak force(PF)and mean velocity(MV).The intraclass correlation coefficient(ICC)was used to examine the retest reliability of the BPU test.The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the correlation of the BPU metrics with upper-limb strength and explosive power.Predictive models for upper-limb strength and explosive power were created using stepwise regression analysis.Results BPU metrics showed a good test-retest reliability(ICC=0.764-0.935).PF and MV,along with body weight(BW),were effective predictors of bench press 1RM in young males:bench press 1RM=0.129PF-16.772[R2=0.790,standard error of the estimate(SEE)=8.17 kg];bench press 1RM=1.511BW+87.15 MV-110.136(R2=0.767,SEE=8.60 kg).PF and BW were also predictors of bench press explosive power:bench press explosive power=2.755BW+0.287PF-17.351(R2=0.620,SEE=46.1 W).Conclusions The BPU test demonstrates a good test-retest reliability,and PF and MV from the BPU test can be used to predict upper-limb strength and explosive power in young males.

Objective:To investigate the value of coronary CTA (CCTA)-based traditional features and radiomics of plaque in the identification of culprit lesions that caused acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods:This was a retrospective multicenter study. From July 2016 to November 2023, a total of 344 patients from the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University (training cohort, n=184), Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University (validation cohort, n=88) and Qilu Hospital of Shandong University (test cohort, n=72) who received percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) due to AMI and underwent CCTA within 48 hours of AMI were enrolled. The culprit plaques and non-culprit plaques were identified using a combination of electrocardiogram, CCTA, and angiographic findings. The vessel, plaque location, plaque type, Coronary Artery Disease-Reporting and Data System (CAD-RADS) score, high-risk plaque characteristics, plaque length, plaque volume, and burden were analyzed, and 1 904 radiomics features were extracted for each plaque. The traditional imaging model, the radiomics model, and the combined model were established by using multivariate Logistic regression analysis. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the performance of each model in identifying culprit lesions. The DeLong test was used for the comparison of AUC between every two models. The net reclassification index (NRI) was used to evaluate the incremental value of the combined model to the traditional imaging model and the radiomics model. The decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to assess the clinical net benefit of these models. A correlation heatmap was used to evaluate the correlation between the radiomics score and traditional CCTA factors. The interpretable analysis of the decision process of the combined model was performed by the Shapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP). Results:In the validation cohort and the test cohort, the AUC of the traditional imaging model developed by the vessel, plaque type, positive remodeling and CAD-RADS score was 0.898 (95% CI 0.869-0.922) and 0.881 (95% CI 0.848-0.910), respectively. The radiomics model developed by six radiomics features was 0.863 (95% CI 0.831-0.891) and 0.863 (95% CI 0.827-0.864), respectively. The AUC of the combined model was 0.930 (95% CI 0.905-0.950)and 0.919 (95% CI 0.889-0.942), respectively. In the validation cohort and the test cohort, the AUC of the combined model was higher than that of the traditional imaging model ( Z=4.013, 4.272, P<0.001) and that of the radiomics model ( Z=4.819, 3.784, P<0.001), respectively. In the validation cohort, the combined model yielded an NRI of 20.43% (95% CI 10.43%-30.44%, P<0.001) and 20.21% (95% CI 9.62%-30.80%, P<0.001) for identifying culprit lesions compared with the traditional imaging model and the radiomics model, respectively. In the test cohort, the combined model yielded an NRI of 28.05% (95% CI 16.72%-39.38%, P<0.001) and 23.57% (95% CI 13.58%-33.56%, P<0.001) for identifying culprit lesions compared with the traditional imaging model and the radiomics model, respectively. DCA showed the combined model had the highest clinical net benefit. The correlation heatmap showed the radiomics score was not correlated or only weakly correlated with traditional CCTA factors. SHAP indicated the radiomics and CAD-RADS score contributed significantly to the model. Conclusion:The CCTA-based traditional features and radiomics of plaque have favorable performance for the identification of culprit plaques in patients with AMI.

Objective To conduct a scoping review of studies related to gamified physical activity interventions for pediatric cancer patients,and to extract the gamification elements and application effects within physical activity intervention programs.Methods A computer-assisted search was conducted in CNKI,Wanfang Data,VIP Database,China Biology Medicine disc,Cochrane Library,PubMed,Embase,and Web of Science for studies on gamified physical activity interventions in pediatric cancer patients,with a search period from database inception to December 31,2023.The included literature was screened,summarized,and analyzed.Results A total of 18 articles were included,including 9 randomized controlled trials,4 quasi-experimental studies,and 5 mixed-method studies.The gamified intervention programs for physical activity in children with cancer integrated 7 gamification elements,including goal setting,capacity to overcome challenges,providing feedback on performance,reinforcement,progress monitoring,social connectivity,and fun and playfulness.The types of physical activity in the intervention programs included aerobic exercise,balance training,strength training,endurance training,etc.The intensity of the activities was mainly low to moderate;the duration was mostly 30～60 minutes per session;the intervention duration ranged from 5 weeks to 1 year.Numerous research findings indicate that gamified physical activity interventions for children with cancer can help improve physical function,quality of life,and fatigue levels.However,there is signi-ficant controversy regarding their impact on improving physical activity levels.Conclusion The gamified inter-vention for physical activity in children with cancer was safe and feasible.It is recommended that in the future,personalized and phased gamified intervention programs should be developed to evaluate the intervention effects.

Objective This study aims to develop a guideline for assessing and maintaining intrinsic capacity in older adults,offer recommendations to professionals regarding these assessments,and encourage the implementation of evidence-based clinical practices across various settings,including communities,hospitals,nursing homes,and other geriatric care environments.Methods An evidence-based approach guided the collection of questions through a lit-erature review.Preliminary recommendations were developed through a systematic search of domestic and interna-tional guideline networks,professional association websites,and comprehensive databases.Subsequently,the recom-mendations were revised,and the consensus was achieved through a round of expert consensus meetings and 3 rounds of expert correspondence,culminating in the formation of the guidelines.Results The developed guideline encompasses 2 aspects and 5 dimensions of assessment and maintenance,comprising a total of 28 questions and 39 recommendations.Specifically,6 questions and 9 recommendations were formulated for the cognitive dimension,5 questions and 7 recommendations for the locomotion dimension,6 questions and 7 recommendations for the vitality dimension,6 questions and 9 recommendations for the psychological dimension,and 5 questions and 7 recommenda-tions for the sensory dimension.Among these,34 are classified as strong recommendations,while 5 are categorized as weak recommendations.Conclusion The guideline offers scientifically robust,acceptable,and comprehensible rec-ommendations that equip the professionals with a foundation for decision-making aiming at preserving the intrinsic capacity of older adults.

To summarize the nursing experience of a patient with acute injection botulism complicated with respiratory failure.The key nursing points include early standard use of botulinum antitoxin therapy to improve the signs of myasthenia;to strengthen respiratory support and airway management,to carry out respiratory training,and to promote the recovery of respiratory function;swallowing function training and dynamic evaluation were carried out to promote the recovery of swallowing function;narrative nursing was carried out to relieve patient's negative emotions.After 17 days of treatment and nursing care,the patient was removed from the tracheal tube on the 7th day,transferred to the general ward on the 14th day,and discharged successfully on the 17th day with a good prognosis.A telephone follow-up was conducted 4 months after discharge,and the patient recovered well.

Objective To investigate the antimicrobial resistance patterns of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP)strains isolated from children for better prevention,treatment,and control of CRKP infections in children.Methods A total of 182 clinical CRKP strains were collected between January 2018 and December 2020 in Hebei Children's Hospital.All CRKP strains were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight(MALDI-TOF)mass spectrometry.The common carbapenemase genes(blaKPC,blaNDM,blaIMP,blaVIM,blaOXA-48)of CRKP isolates were studied by PCR.Multilocus sequence typing(MLST)was performed for homology analysis.Results The 182 children infected with CRKP were mainly infants(＞28 days to＜1 years),accounting for 49.45％(90/182),followed by newborns(≤28 days),accounting for 36.26％(66/182).The main source of the 182 CRKP isolates was sputum(50.55％,92/182),blood(15.93％,29/182),and urine(13.19％,24/182).The strains were mainly isolated from patients in neonatology(30.22％,55/182),general surgery(21.43％,39/182),cardiac surgery(13.19％,24/182),and intensive care unit(11.54％,21/182).Antimicrobial susceptibility testing showed that all of the 182 CRKP strains were resistant to cefepime,ceftazidime,piperacillin-tazobactam,and cefoperazone-sulbactam(100％).Overall,97.8％,71.4％,81.9％,75.8％,69.2％,and 2.7％of the strains were resistant to aztreonam,amikacin,ciprofloxacin,levofloxacin,doxycycline,and tigecycline,respectively.The prevalence of carbapenemase gene blaKPC-2 was the highest(73.63％,134/182),followed by blaNDM-5(15.38％,28/182),and blaNDM-1(11.54％,21/182).A total of 15 different sequence types(ST)were identified by MLST,of which ST11 was the most common type(72.53％,132/182),followed by ST17(11.54％,21/182).Conclusions CRKP isolates in Hebei Children's Hospital showed high level resistance to antimicrobial agents.Antimicrobial therapy should be prescribed cautiously according to the results of antimicrobial susceptibility testing to avoid the emergence of resistant strains.KPC-2-producing ST1 1 type CRKP strains may be prevalent in this hospital.Effective control measures should be taken to avoid further spread of such CRKP strains.

Objective:To investigate whether hysteroscopic transcervical resection of septum (TCRS) prior to in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) can improve cumulative live birth rates in patients with uterine septum. Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze data from 244 patients with partial uterine septum who underwent IVF/ICSI at the Reproductive Medicine Center of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University between January 2016 and August 2022. The patients were divided into a surgical group ( n=171) and a non-surgical group ( n=73) based on whether TCRS was performed prior to IVF/ICSI. The clinical outcomes of IVF/ICSI in the two groups were analyzed, with the primary observation indicator being the cumulative live birth rate. Cox regression analysis was employed to identify determinants. Results:The age of patients in the operated group [(31.20±3.80) years] was younger than that in the non-operated group [(32.92±5.34) years, P=0.005], and the basal antral follicle count [17.0 (11.0, 24.0)] was higher than that in the non-operated group [14.0 (8.0, 21.5), P=0.039]. There were no significant differences in other baseline data (all P>0.05). The cumulative pregnancy rate [79.53% (136/171)] and the cumulative live birth rate [60.23% (103/171)] in the operated group during the 24-month follow-up period were significantly higher than those in the non-operated group [65.75% (48/73), P=0.022; 45.21% (33/73), P=0.030]. Compared with the operated group [296.0 (260.0, 430.0) d], the duration from the start of ovarian stimulation to the first live birth was significantly prolonged in the non-operated group [379.0 (329.5, 471.5) d, P<0.001]. Adjusted Cox-regression analysis showed that whether or not surgery was performed ( HR=1.683, 95% CI: 1.116-2.539, P=0.013) and the basal antral follicle count ( HR=1.032, 95% CI: 1.000-1.065, P=0.048) were independent factors affecting cumulative live birth rate. Conclusion:Performing TCRS before IVF/ICSI can improve cumulative live birth rates of patients with uterine septum.

Objective To explore the effects of evidence-based nursing combined with multi-dimensional health education on negative emotions and postoperative rehabilitation of patients undergoing elective surgery for cholecystolithiasis.Methods A total of 100 patients with cholecystolithiasis who underwent elective surgery in Yixing Traditional Chinese Hospital Medicine from September 2023 to August 2024 were selected.The patients were assigned to control group and observation group by PEMS3.1 for Windows completely random(two groups and multiple groups)program,with 50 cases in each group.The control group received routine nursing,and the observation group received evidence-based nursing combined with multidimensional health education on the basis of routine nursing.The intervention duration of the two groups was 7 days.Visual analogue scale(VAS)scores,negative emotions(self-rating anxiety scale[SAS]and self-rating depression scale[SDS]),postoperative complications,and postoperative rehabilitation were compared between the two groups.Results The VAS scores at 24 h and 72 h after surgery were lower than those at 6 h after surgery in both groups,especially in the observation group(P<0.05).The scores of SAS and SDS in both groups after intervention were significantly decreased compared with those before intervention,and the scores of negative emotions in the observation group after intervention were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The total incidence of gastrointestinal discomfort,biliary fistula and wound infection/bleeding in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group(4.00%vs.18.00%,P<0.05).The time of getting out of bed,the time of anal exhaust,the time of resuming normal diet and the time of hospitalization in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The combination of evidence-based nursing and multi-dimensional health education during perioperative period of cholecystolithiasis surgery can reduce postoperative pain,improve the positive attitude of treatment,reduce complications,and promote the recovery of the disease.
