Objective To evaluate the short-term effects of comprehensive health management interventions for stroke high-risk population screening on the prevention and treatment of ischemic stroke, and to provide reference and basis for improving and exploring health management and prevention strategies for stroke high-risk population. Methods From 2018 to 2022, 13 community health service centers in Jiading District, Shanghai were selected in the present study. Based on information push platform, stroke risk assessment and health intervention follow-up were conducted for community residents through convenience sampling. The residents were divided into a full course intervention group (intervention group) and a routine intervention group (control group) according to different health intervention measures and forms. The incidence of ischemic stroke in the two groups of survey subjects was tracked within 36 months. Results A total of 52144 subjects were included in the study. The total number of patients in the full course intervention group was 14227, with an incidence density of 577.32/100 000 (556.49/100 000-598.12/100 000), which was lower than that of the conventional intervention group (37 917), with an incidence density of 1 485.47/100 000 (1 464.99/100 000-1 505.94/100 000) (χ2=2490.212, P<0.001). The relative risk of the full course intervention group was 0.39, and the relative risk of stroke risk factors in the full course intervention group from low to high was 0.33, 0.43, 0.45, and 0.49, respectively. The incidence density of males in the full course intervention group was 660.76 (627.46/100 000 - 694.05/100 000), with a relative risk of 0.43, and the incidence density of female patients was 509.71/100 000 (483.37/100 000 - 536.05/100 000), with a relative risk of 0.35. The overall incidence density of the population under 62 years old gourp, 62-75 years old group and over 75 years old group was 197.45/100 000 (173.09/100 000 -221.80/100 000), 608.36/100 000 (580.19/100 000-636.54/100 000), and 1 025.06/100 000 (958.51/100 000-1 091.61/100 000), with relative risks of 0.51, 0.44, and 0.38, respectively. Conclusion Comprehensive health management measures can effectively reduce the short-term risk of ischemic stroke, and should be further promoted and improved to enhance the effectiveness of stroke prevention and control.

AIM:To assess the influence of preoperative lacrimal passage probing and dilation on the therapeutic effectiveness of nasolacrimal silicone intubation in cases of incomplete primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction(PANDO).METHODS: A retrospective case-control clinical study was conducted. The study included patients with incomplete PANDO who underwent nasolacrimal silicone intubation at the hospital between October 2022 and October 2024. Participants were categorized into two groups based on their receipt of nasolacrimal duct probing and dilation prior to intubation. Group A consisted of patients who had undergone one or more sessions of nasolacrimal duct probing and dilation before nasolacrimal silicone intubation, while Group B included patients who did not receive nasolacrimal duct probing and dilation before intubation. All patients had their nasolacrimal silicone tubes removed 3 mo postoperatively and were monitored for 6 mo following tube removal to evaluate surgical success rates.RESULTS: A total of 136 patients(152 eyes)completed the six-month follow-up period. The overall surgical success rate for both groups was 72.4%(110/152 eyes).Group A included 22 males and 36 females, mean age 58.09±11.07 y, and achieved a success rate of 82.8%(53/64 eyes), while Group B included 27 males and 51 females, mean age 59.35±8.84 y and attained a success rate of 64.8%(57/88 eyes). The difference in surgical success rates between the two groups was statistically significant(P=0.014). Furthermore, Group A achieved a complete success rate of 67.2%(43/64 eyes), compared to 47.7%(42/88 eyes)in Group B, with this difference also reaching statistical significance(P=0.017). No serious postoperative complications were observed in either group.CONCLUSION: Nasolacrimal silicone intubation is a safe and effective intervention for incomplete PANDO, with preoperative nasolacrimal duct probing and dilation potentially enhancing therapeutic outcomes.

BackgroundObsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) carries a considerable disability burden. Intolerance of uncertainty (IU) is associated with the severity of obsessive-compulsive symptoms, yet its neural underpinnings remain unclear. The cerebellum has been implicated in uncertainty processing and demonstrates structural and functional abnormalities in OCD, but direct evidence linking its spontaneous activity to the relationship between IU and obsessive-compulsive symptoms is still lacking. ObjectiveTo explore the pathway through which spontaneous cerebellar neural activity mediates the relationship between IU and obsessive-compulsive symptoms in OCD patients, with the aim of providing a new perspective for understanding the neural mechanisms of OCD. MethodsA total of 51 patients with OCD who visited the Mental Health Center outpatient clinic of the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from November 2022 to November 2024 and met the diagnostic criteria for OCD according to the International Classification of Diseases, tenth edition (ICD-10). During the same period, 43 community-based volunteers matched for gender and age were enrolled as the control group. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data were collected from two groups. Amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) analysis was used to compare whole-brain spontaneous neural activity between two groups. Clinical assessments were conducted using the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) and the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale-12 (IUS-12). Pearson correlation analysis was used to examine correlations between cerebellar ALFF values and scale scores in OCD patients. Using IU as the independent variable, obsessive-compulsive symptoms as the dependent variable, and ALFF values from between-group difference brain regions as the mediator, Process 4.0 for SPSS 24.0 (model 4) was used to examine the mediating role of these ALFF values between IU and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. The Bootstrap method was used to test the mediation effect. ResultsA total of 47 OCD patients and 40 controls completed this study. Compared with the control group, the OCD group showed decreased ALFF values in the right cerebellar Crus Ⅱ (t=-5.254, FWE-corrected P<0.01). Correlation analysis revealed that ALFF value in the right cerebellar Crus Ⅱ was negatively correlated with Y-BOCS total score (r=-0.851), compulsive behavior subscale score (r=-0.647), IUS-12 total scores (r=-0.617), and prospective IU subscale scores (r=-0.717) in OCD group (P<0.01). Prospective IU subscale scores were positively correlated with Y-BOCS total scores (r=0.811) and compulsive behavior subscale score (r=0.535) (P<0.01). Mediation analysis showed that ALFF value in the right cerebellar Crus Ⅱ region partially mediated the effect of prospective IU on obsessive-compulsive behavior, with a mediation effect of 0.064 (95% CI: 0.004–0.136), accounting for 24.57% of the total effect. ConclusionPatients with OCD showed reduced spontaneous neural activity in the right cerebellar Crus Ⅱ region, which was significantly associated with IU and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. This region partially mediated the effect of IU on compulsive behaviors.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the molecular mechanism of weak D phenotype in a Chinese family.
METHODS:
Routine Rh typing tests were performed first, and RHD exons 1-10 of the proband and his family members were sequenced by first-generation sequencing. RHD zygosity was also determined. Third-generation sequencing was used to analyze the haplotypes of the RHD gene.
RESULTS:
The proband showed a weak D serological phenotype. First-generation sequencing revealed a c.787G>A point mutation in exon 5. The family pedigree investigation showed that the proband and his younger sister had the same serological phenotype and molecular mechanism. His father carried this gene mutation, while his mother and younger brother were normal. Hybrid box was not detected, suggesting that all the family members did not have a haplotype with a complete deletion of the RHD gene. The results of third-generation sequencing showed that the proband and his sister inherited the weak D allele from their father and the non-functional allele RHD -CE(3-9)-D from their mother, respectively.
CONCLUSION
Third-generation sequencing technology enables haplotype analysis of the RHD gene and can detect complex genotypes such as genetic exchanges between RHD and RHCE combined with other mutations.

Due to the wide variety and varying quality of medical wound dressings, as well as the current lack of unified national or industry standards for regulation, this paper proposes a research strategy for establishing a quality evaluation system for medical wound dressings. By developing a technical roadmap, this strategy clarifies the process flow and key points in the quality evaluation process, establishes evaluation methods for various types of medical wound dressings, and addresses important issues such as how to determine key performance indicators based on product characteristics and how to research and validate test methods for key items. This provides a detailed and feasible research strategy and evaluation method for medical wound dressing manufacturers, testing institutions, and regulatory authorities. It reduces the difficulty and cost of quality evaluation for medical wound dressings and has certain significance in standardizing and improving their quality level, ensuring their safety and effectiveness, and serving the quality and safety regulation of medical devices..

The prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has sharply increased in recent years, posing a serious threat to human health. RA is characterized as a chronic, multisystem disease with morning stiffness and symmetric small joint pain. However, its fundamental processes are poorly understood. With the advancements in molecular biology techniques, a growing body of research indicates that numerous non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are essential for the pathogenesis of RA. These ncRNAs not only contribute to the onset of RA but also play a role in the pathological processes of RA development, including synovial immune inflammation and bone destruction. Chinese medicine (single compounds, single herbs, and compound formulae, as well as non-drug therapies such as acupuncture and moxibustion), offer significant benefits for treating RA. This study examined the role of 3 different ncRNA types (circular RNA, long ncRNA, and microRNA) as biomarkers in RA diagnosis, as well as their regulatory roles in rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast-like synoviocytes functions such as inflammatory response, proliferation, cell cycle, apoptosis, and invasion. Additionally, the study explored the mechanisms by which Chinese medicine regulates these ncRNAs, with the goal of offering innovative strategies for RA treatment.

OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the effect and safety of Chinese medicine (CM) Fuzheng Huazhuo Decoction (FHD) in treating patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) who persistently tested positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
METHODS:
This retrospective cohort study was conducted at Shanghai New International Expo Center shelter hospital in China between April 1 and May 30, 2022. Patients diagnosed as COVID-19 with persistently positive SARS-CoV-2 reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test results for ⩾8 days after diagnosis were enrolled. Patients in the control group received conventional Western medicine (WM) treatment, while those in the FHD group received conventional WM plus FHD for at least 3 days. The primary outcome was viral clearance time. Secondary outcomes included negative conversion rate within 14 days, length of hospital stay, cycle threshold (Ct) values of the open reading frame 1ab (ORF1ab) and nucleocapsid protein (N) genes, and incidence of new-onset symptoms during hospitalization. Adverse events (AEs) that occurred during the study period were recorded.
RESULTS:
A total of 1,765 eligible patients were enrolled in this study (546 in the FHD group and 1,219 in the control group). Compared with the control group, patients receiving FHD treatment showed shorter viral clearance time for nucleic acids [hazard ratio (HR): 1.500, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.353-1.664, P<0.001] and hospital stays (HR: 1.371, 95% CI: 1.238-1.519, P<0.001), and a higher negative conversion rate within 14 days (96.2% vs. 82.6%, P<0.001). The incidence of new-onset symptoms was 59.5% in the FHD group, similar to 57.8% in the control group (P>0.05). The Ct values of ORF1ab and N genes increased more rapidly over time in the FHD group than those in the control group post-randomization (ORF1ab gene: β =0.436±0.053, P<0.001; N gene: β =0.415 ±0.053, P<0.001). The incidence of AEs in the FHD group was lower than that in the control group (24.2% vs. 35.4%, P<0.001). No serious AEs were observed.
CONCLUSION
FHD was effective and safe for patients with persistently positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR tests. (Registration No. ChiCTR2200063956).
