Objective To analyze the related factors of retinopathy in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and explore the discriminant efficiency. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 314 elderly patients with T2DM who were treated in Beijing Aerospace General Hospital between April 2022 and April 2025. The related factors of retinopathy in elderly patients with T2DM were explored by logistic regression analysis. ROC curve was drawn to analyze the discriminant efficiency of related factors. Results Compared with the patients in the non-concurrent group, the patients in the concurrent group had a longer course of diabetes mellitus, a higher level of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and higher proportions of diabetic peripheral neuropathy, hypertension history, high myopia history and smoking history (P<0.05). After logistic regression analysis, the course of diabetes mellitus, HbA1c, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, history of hypertension and history of high myopia were found to be related factors of retinopathy in elderly patients with T2DM (P<0.05). Based on the above related factors, a model was established for ROC curve analysis, and it was found that the area under the curve was 0.935, with sensitivity, specificity, and 95%CI being 0.867, 0.916, and 0.890-0.979, respectively. Conclusion Course of diabetes mellitus, HbA1c, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, history of hypertension, and history of high myopia are related factors of retinopathy in elderly patients with T2DM. These related factors demonstrate good discriminant efficiency on retinopathy in elderly patients with T2DM.

BACKGROUND:Research has found that human umbilical cord blood platelet rich plasma and human umbilical cord blood derived mesenchymal stem cells have certain therapeutic effects on thin endometrium.However,there are currently no reports on the study of human umbilical cord blood mononuclear cells on thin endometrium,and there is a lack of relevant research comparing the three.OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects and mechanisms of human umbilical cord blood platelet rich plasma,monocytes,and mesenchymal stem cells in repairing thin endometrium in rats.METHODS:Sixty female SPF grade SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group,model group,human umbilical cord blood platelet rich plasma group,human umbilical cord blood mononuclear cell group,and human umbilical cord blood derived mesenchymal stem cell group,with 12 rats in each group.The sham operation group received 0.5 mL physiological saline injection into the uterine horn,followed by 0.5 mL of PBS infusion after 5 minutes;The model group,human umbilical cord blood platelet rich plasma group,human umbilical cord blood mononuclear cell group,and human umbilical cord blood derived mesenchymal stem cell group were injected with 0.5 mL of 95％ethanol by volume.After 5 minutes,the remaining ethanol was aspirated and washed twice with physiological saline.Then,0.5 mL of PBS,human umbilical cord blood platelet rich plasma,human umbilical cord blood mononuclear cells(1×107 cells/mL),and human umbilical cord blood derived mesenchymal stem cells(1×107 cells/mL)were perfused separately.During the third normal estrus cycle after reperfusion,organs,tissues and serum were collected for testing of relevant indicators.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The macroscopic view of uterine tissue,hematoxylin eosin staining and Masson staining results:the sham operation group had intact structure,moderate endometrial thickness,and clear vascular structure.Compared with the sham operation group,the model group showed uterine atrophy,incomplete structure,significantly reduced endometrial thickness and glandular quantity,disordered vascular structure,and increased fibrosis.Compared with the model group,after treatment with human umbilical cord blood derivatives,the size,structure,and endometrial thickness of the uterus were restored(all P＜0.01),and fibrosis was reduced,with the most significant recovery observed in the human umbilical cord blood mononuclear cell group.The increase in glandular quantity was most significant in the human umbilical cord blood platelet rich plasma group(P＜0.000 1).(2)The immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence results of uterine tissue showed that compared with the sham operation group,the expression levels of cell proliferation related indicators such as keratin 9 and vimentin,endometrial receptivity related indicators such as leukemia inhibitory factor and integrin αyβ3,platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule,basic fibroblast growth factor,and vascular endothelial growth factor were all reduced in the model group(all P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,the above indicators were significantly increased after treatment with human umbilical cord blood derivatives.Comparison of human umbilical cord blood derivatives among groups showed that keratin 9 and vascular endothelial growth factor protein:human umbilical cord blood mononuclear cell group＞human umbilical cord blood derived mesenchymal stem cell group＞human umbilical cord blood platelet rich plasma group;Wave shaped protein and leukemia inhibitory factor protein:human umbilical cord blood derived mesenchymal stem cell group＞human umbilical cord blood mononuclear cell group＞human umbilical cord blood platelet rich plasma group;Integrin αyβ3 protein:human umbilical cord blood platelet rich plasma group＞human umbilical cord blood derived mesenchymal stem cell group＞human umbilical cord blood mononuclear cell group;Platelet endothelial cell

fibroblast growth factor protein:human umbilical cord blood mononuclear cell group＞human umbilical cord blood platelet rich plasma group＞human umbilical cord blood derived mesenchymal stem cell group.(3)Western blot analysis showed that compared with the sham operation group,the protein levels of interleukin-6,interleukin-1β,and tumor necrosis factor alpha in the model group were significantly increased(all P＜0.001),and their expression levels decreased after treatment(all P＜0.05).(4)ELISA assay showed that compared with the sham operation group,the model group had lower levels of anti Mullerian hormone,estradiol,and progesterone,and increased levels of follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone(except for luteinizing hormone,all P＜0.05).After treatment,there was a certain degree of recovery in the levels of sex hormones and anti Mullerian hormones.(5)Fertility experiments showed that compared with the sham operation group,the model group had an increase in conception time and a significant decrease in litter size(all P＜0.05).After treatment with human umbilical cord blood derivatives,the litter size of all three groups increased(P＜0.05),and no significant differences were found between the groups.This study preliminarily reveals that human umbilical cord blood mononuclear cells have a certain therapeutic effect on thin endometrium,and human umbilical cord blood platelet rich plasma,human umbilical cord blood mononuclear cells,and human umbilical cord blood derived mesenchymal stem cells have different advantages and differences in improving endometrial regeneration function,endometrial receptivity,angiogenesis,inflammation regulation,and improving pregnancy outcomes in thin endometrium.

OBJECTIVE To explore the antidepressant mechanism of Wenyang jieyu granules （WYJYG） via the NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3 （NLRP3）/apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD （ASC）/Caspase-1 pathway. METHODS A rat model of depression was established by chronic unpredictable mild stress combined with single-housing for 42 consecutive days.The experiment set up blank group， model group， MCC950 （NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor） group （10 mg/kg）， fluoxetine group （positive control，2.08 mg/kg），low-dose WYJYG（3.78 g/kg） and high-dose WYJYG group （7.56 g/kg），with 10 rats in each group. From the 22nd day of the experiment， rats in the fluoxetine group， low-dose and high-dose WYJYG groups were intragastrically administered with the corresponding drugs and intraperitoneally injected with an equal volume of normal saline. Rats in the MCC950 group were intraperitoneally injected with MCC950 at the corresponding concentration and intragastrically administered with an equal volume of distilled water. Rats in the blank group and model group were given an equal volume of distilled water by gavage and an equal volume of normal saline by intraperitoneal injection. All interventions were performed once a day for 21 consecutive days. Behavioral tests were conducted once a week. After the last administration， the contents of ASC， ionized calcium binding adaptor molecule 1 （Iba1）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， and IL-18 in hippocampal tissues were detected. The protein expressions of NLRP3， cluster of differentiation 68 （CD68）， Caspase-1， B-cell lymphoma-2 （Bcl-2）， and Bcl-2-associated X protein were determined， and neuronal apoptosis was observed. RESULTS After the last administration， compared with the model group， the open-field activity time was significantly prolonged （ P ＜0.05）， and the latency to feed in a novel environment was significantly shortened （ P ＜0.05） in rats of the high-dose WYJYG group. In hippocampal tissue， the contents of ASC， Iba1， IL-1β， and IL-18， as well as the protein expression levels of NLRP3， Caspase-1， and CD68， and the positive rate of neuronal apoptosis were all significantly decreased/downregulated （ P ＜0.05）. Bcl-2 protein expression was significantly upregulated （ P ＜0.05）， and the density of neuronal apoptosis-positive cells was significantly reduced （ P ＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS WYJYG play on antidepressant role by inhibiting the NLRP3/ASC/Caspase-1 pathway， reducing microglia-mediated neuroinflammation， and inhibiting hippocampal neurons apoptosis.

BACKGROUND:Spleen has the functions of blood storage,hematopoiesis,and immunity.With the increase of age,the structural degeneration and functional decline of spleen lead to the impairment of immune system function,thus accelerating the aging process of the body.The treatment of spleen aging in tree shrews with highly active umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells has not been reported. OBJECTIVE:To explore the intervention effect and mechanism of highly active umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells on spleen aging in tree shrews. METHODS:Highly active umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were isolated,cultured,and obtained from the umbilical cord tissue of newborn tree shrews by caesarean section.The differentiation abilities of adipogenesis,osteogenesis,and chondrogenesis were detected by three-line differentiation kit.Cell cycle and surface markers were detected by flow cytometry.The second generation of highly active umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were transfected with Genechem Green Fluorescent Protein with infection complex values of 100,120,140,160,180,and 200,respectively,to screen the best transfection conditions.After transfection,the fourth generation of highly active umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells was injected into the tail vein of tree shrews in the elderly treatment group.The young control group and the aged model group were not given special treatment.After 4 months of treatment,the spleen tissue was taken and the structure of the spleen was observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining.β-Galactosidase staining was used to detect the activity of aging-related galactosidase.Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression levels of p21 and p53 proteins.Ki67 and PCNA immunofluorescence staining was used to detect cell proliferation activity.Immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the expression levels of spleen autophagy protein molecules Beclin 1 and APG5L/ATG5.Reactive oxygen species fluorescence staining was used to detect the content of reactive oxygen species in spleen tissue.CD3 immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the change of the proportion of total T lymphocytes.The secretion levels of interleukin 1β and transforming growth factor β1 in spleen were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.The distribution of highly active umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells labeled with green fluorescent protein in spleen tissue was observed by DAPI double staining of nucleus. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Highly active umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells grew in a short spindle shape with fish-like growth,with a large proportion of G0/G1 phase,and had the potential to differentiate into adipogenesis,osteogenesis,and chondrogenesis.(2)Multiplicity of infection=140 and transfection for 72 hours were the best conditions for labeling tree shrews highly active umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells with Genechem Green Fluorescent Protein.(3)Compared with the aged model group,in the aged treatment group,the spleen tissue cells of tree shrews were arranged closely,and the area of white pulp was increased(P<0.01);the boundary between red pulp and white pulp was clear;the proportion of germinal centers did not show statistically significant difference(P>0.05).The activity level of galactosidase related to spleen tissue aging was decreased(P<0.001),and the expression levels of aging protein molecules p21 and p53 were down-regulated(P<0.001).The expression levels of proliferation-related molecules Ki67 and PCNA were up-regulated(P<0.001,P<0.05);expression levels of autophagy-related molecules Beclin 1 and APG5L/ATG5 were up-regulated(P<0.001),and the content of reactive oxygen species decreased(P<0.001),and the proportion of CD3+T cells increased(P<0.05).The secretion level of interleukin 1β in the aging-related secretion phenotype decreased(P<0.001);no significant difference was found in transforming growth factor β1 level(P>0.05).Compared with the young control group,the above indexes were significantly different in the elderly treatment group(P<0.05).(4)Green fluorescent cells labeled with green fluorescent protein were observed in spleen tissue of tree shrews the elderly treatment group by frozen tissue section observation.The results show that intravenous infusion of highly active umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells can migrate to spleen tissue,inhibit the production of reactive oxygen species,down-regulate the expression of aging-related proteins,induce autophagy,promote cell proliferation,reduce chronic inflammation,and then improve the structure and function of spleen tissue.

Objective To observe the value of MRI radiomics combined with ResNet101 deep learning for differentiating lumbar spine brucella spondylitis(BS)and spinal metastases(SM).Methods Seventy-one cases of lumbar spine BS and the same amount of lumbar spine SM patients were retrospectively enrolled in training set,while 33 cases of lumbar spine BS and the same amount of lumbar spine SM patients were enrolled in test set.Clinical features were screened with univariate and multivariate logistic analysis,and a clinical model(Mclinic)was constructed.ROI of lesions were drawn on lumbar sagittal T 2WI,then radiomics features were extracted to construct a radiomics model(Mradiomics).ResNet101 deep learning was integrated with radiomics,then deep learning radiomics features were extracted to construct deep learning radiomics model(MDL+R).Finally a combined model(Mcombined)was constructed through combining clinical features and deep learning radiomics features.The efficacy of the above models for differentiating BS and SM were analyzed.Results Significant differences of patients' age and proportion of fever and accessory involvement were found between BS and SM patients in training and test sets(all P＜0.05),and univariate and multivariate logistic analysis showed the latter two were clinical features(both P＜0.001).The area under the curve(AUC)of Mclinic for differentiating lumbar spine BS and SM was 0.794 and 0.773 in training set and test set,of Mradiomics was 0.895 and 0.791,of MDL+R was 0.926 and 0.882,while of Mcombined was 0.967 and 0.906,respectively.AUC of Mcombined was the highest in training set(all P＜0.05),while in test set,AUC of Mcombined was significantly higher than that of Mclinic and Mradiomics(both P＜0.05).Conclusion MRI radiomics combined with ResNet101 deep learning was helpful for differentiating lumbar spine BS and SM.Combining with clinical data could improve its diagnostic efficacy.

Objective:To explore the therapeutic effectiveness of using biomimetic electrical stimulation in conjunction with hormone replacement therapy involving estrogen and progesterone sequentially on premature ovarian failure and its influence on uterine artery hemodynamics.Methods:90 patients with premature ovarian failure in the First People's Hospital of Xianyang were selected from December 2022 to December 2023. According to the principle of matching the baseline characteristics between groups, the above patients were divided into observation group (pink ball, 45 cases) and control group (black ball, 45 cases) by random touching pink-black ball. The control group received estrogen-progesterone sequential therapy. In contrast, the observation group added biomimetic electrical stimulation combined therapy on the basis of the control group. The therapeutic effect, sex hormones (follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol), uterine artery hemodynamics indicators (uterine artery peak systolic velocity (PSV), pulsatility index (PI), resistance index) and occurrence of adverse reactions were compared between groups of patients. Measurement data with normal distribution were expressed as xˉ± s, and independent sample t test was used for between-group comparison of mean data and paired t-test was used for comparison before and after treatment. The percentage of enumeration data was calculated, and between-group rate was compared by chi-square test. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:Total effective rate with 96.56%(43/45) in observation group was higher than 82.22%(37/45) in control group ( χ2=4.05, P=0.044). After the end of treatment, FSH, LH, PI and resistance index in both groups were decreased, but the above indicators in observation group ((35.12±6.23) U/L, (33.56±4.12) U/L, 1.97±0.59, 0.41±0.13) were lower than those in control group ((49.23±6.87) U/L, (46.25±4.32) U/L, 2.33±1.04, 0.58±0.22), while the estradiol and PSV in both groups were increased, and the two indicators in observation group ((38.23±5.32) ng/L, (19.68±3.25) cm/s) were higher than those in control group were higher than those in control group ((32.12±5.12) ng/L, (16.44±2.03) cm/s) ( t value were 10.21, 2.52, 2.02, 4.62, 5.55, 5.67, respectively; Pvalue were <0.001, 0.014, 0.046, <0.001, <0.001, <0.001, respectively). The adverse reactions in the observation and control groups were nausea and vomiting (3 cases and 4 cases ), headache (2 cases and 4 cases), breast pain (1 case and 3 cases), and abdominal pain (2 cases and 4 cases), respectively,There were no statistical differences in incidence rates of adverse reactions between groups ( χ2 value were 0.16, 0.71, 1.05, and 0.71, respectively; P value were 0.694, 0.398, 0.306, and 0.398, respectively). Conclusion:The combination of biomimetic electrical stimulation technology and sequential therapy of estrogen and progesterone has shown outstanding efficacy in treating premature ovarian failure, promoting the synthesis of sex hormones in patients, improving uterine blood supply, and having high safety.

Objective:To assess the current status of geriatrics department development in public general hospitals at or above the second grade in Shandong province.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted from October 27 to November 3, 2023 using a web-based electronic questionnaire to investigate the current status of geriatrics department development in all public general hospitals at or above the second grade across 16 prefecture-level cities in Shandong province.The survey included participation from medical department staff and managers of geriatric medicine departments.Results:Shandong province has 355 public general hospitals at or above the second grade, of which 337 completed the questionnaire.Among these 337 hospitals, 92.28%(311/337)have established geriatric departments, 83.09%(280/337)have set up geriatric clinics, 69.14%(233/337)have independent geriatric wards, and 71.51%(241/337)have implemented comprehensive geriatric assessments(CGA).Regarding the configuration of geriatric departments, 60.24%(203/337)of hospitals met the requirement of having at least 20 ward beds, 34.42%(116/337)met the doctor-to-bed ratio requirement of at least 0.3, and 22.26%(75/337)met the nurse-to-bed ratio requirement of at least 0.6.Only 13 hospitals met all the requirements for geriatric wards, beds, doctors, and nurses, accounting for 3.86%(13/337)of the participating hospitals.Conclusions:The establishment of geriatrics departments in second-grade or higher public general hospitals in Shandong province has surpassed the national target in China ahead of schedule.Most hospitals have established geriatric clinics and wards and have implemented CGA.However, significant challenges remain, including a shortage of ward beds and a lack of medical staff.
