Chinese Journal of Clinical Medicine 2026;33(3):526-532
Spastic lower limb paralysis is a common complication following central nervous system injury, including stroke, cerebral palsy, and brain or spinal cord trauma, with high incidence and complex conditions. In recent years, minimally invasive treatment techniques have rapidly advanced, offering new avenues to improve motor function and quality of life for these patients. However, clinical decision-making involves multidisciplinary input, such as rehabilitation, neurosurgery, orthopedics, and standardized treatment guidelines are lacking. This review systematically summarizes commonly used minimally invasive treatments for spastic lower limb paralysis, including their mechanisms, indications, efficacy, and limitations, and compares findings from domestic and international studies. The aim is to provide guidance for clinical decision-making, optimize treatment strategies, and promote development of individualized therapies.

Objective To investigate the protective effect and underlying mechanisms of HydroMg, a novel sustained-release hydrogen donor, in a model of doxorubicin (DOX)-induced chronic cardiotoxicity. Methods H9C2 cells were treated with 1 μmol/L DOX and/or 1 μg/mL HydroMg, and mitochondrial membrane potential, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and apoptosis were measured. In the animal experiment, mice were divided into control, HydroMg, DOX, and DOX+HydroMg groups. The HydroMg group received intraperitoneal injection of HydroMg (100 mg/kg). Chronic cardiotoxicity was established by intraperitoneal injection of DOX (5 mg/kg every week) for four consecutive weeks; In the DOX+HydroMg group, HydroMg (100 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally 4–5 h prior to each DOX injection. Cardiac function and remodeling were evaluated by echocardiography and heart weight index (HWI). The long-term survival of mice were analyzed. Subsequently, transcriptome sequencing was performed on myocardial tissues from the DOX group to identify key molecular alterations compared with controls. Results At the cellular level, HydroMg treatment effectively reversed DOX-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress, as evidenced by restored membrane potential, reductions in total ROS and mitochondrial superoxide levels by approximately 30% and 9%, respectively, and a decrease in the apoptosis rate from 34.13% to 18.27%. In the animal model, compared with the DOX group, HydroMg intervention increased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and fractional shortening (LVFS) by 9.62% and 5.82%, respectively, attenuated the reduction in HWI (4.41 mg/mm vs 3.53 mg/mm), and improved the 4-week survival rate (80% vs 60%). Transcriptomic analysis revealed that the core molecular features of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity, including widespread suppression of oxidative phosphorylation and antioxidant pathways. Conclusions HydroMg protects against DOX-induced chronic cardiotoxicity by alleviating oxidative stress and improving mitochondrial function, and provides a potential therapeutic strategy against DOX-related cardiotoxicity.

Objective:
To analyze the health literacy possession rate and its trend among residents in Lishui City, Zhejiang Province from 2016 to 2024, so as to provide the evidence for improving health promotion strategies and intervention measures.
Methods:
Multi-stage stratified random sampling combined with probability proportionate to size sampling method was adopted to select permanent residents aged 15-69 years in Lishui City as survey subjects. Demographic information and health literacy possession status were collected through questionnaire survey. The health literacy possession rate was calculated. The data from 2016 to 2019 and from 2020 to 2024 were standardized using the population data of Lishui City from the Sixth National Population Census in 2010 and the Seventh National Population Census in 2020, respectively. The trend of health literacy possession rate from 2016 to 2024 was analyzed.
Results:
A total of 42 691 people were surveyed, including 20 509 males (48.04%) and 22 182 females (51.96%), with an average age of (51.63±12.13) years. From 2016 to 2024, the health literacy possession rates were 20.40%, 25.83%, 26.96%, 28.82%, 32.30%, 34.02%, 37.53%, 39.21% and 43.17%, respectively, showing an upward trend (P<0.05). Among the three aspects, the possession rates of basic knowledge and concepts, healthy lifestyle and behaviors, and basic skills all showed upward trends (all P<0.05), with basic knowledge and concepts showing the largest increase and basic skills showing the smallest increase. Among the six health issues, the possession rates of scientific health view, chronic disease prevention and control, safety and first aid, basic medical care, and health information showed upward trends, while the infectious disease prevention and control literacy possession rate showed a downward trend (all P<0.05). The possession rates in the 65-69 age group, illiterate/semi-literate residents, and farmers showed upward trends (all P<0.05), but with small increases and remaining at low levels.
Conclusions
From 2016 to 2024, the health literacy possession rate of residents in Lishui City showed an overall upward trend, but the increase in basic skills literacy possession rate was relatively slow, and the infectious disease prevention and control literacy possession rate showed a downward trend. It is necessary to strengthen health education for weak links and knowledge among elderly people, residents with low educational level, and farmers to improve health literacy level.

ObjectiveTo investigate the reversal effect of Cordyceps sinensis extract on immunotherapy resistance of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MethodsELISA, flow cytometry, and co-culture assays were performed to evaluate the effects of Cordyceps sinensis extract on cytokine secretion, proliferation, and tumor cell killing activity of Jurkat (JKT) cells. Furthermore, the therapeutic effect of Cordyceps sinensis extract on programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) resistant lung cancer was evaluated through in vivo experiments both alone and in combination with anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody. ResultsCordyceps sinensis extract enhanced the secretion of cytokines interferon gamma(IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α) and interleukin-2 (IL-2)in JKT cells, promoted cell proliferation (P=0.006), and boosted their killing function against tumors (P<0.001). Compared with the control group, in vivo study demonstrated that Cordyceps sinensis extract monotherapy effectively inhibited the growth of PD-L1-resistant tumors [tumor growth inhibition value (TGI)=26.1%, P=0.090], while its combination with anti-PD-L1 antibody significantly reversed PD-L1 resistance (TGI=50.6%, P<0.001). ConclusionThis study provides certain data support for the activation of anti-tumor immunity by Cordyceps sinensis extract, and offers a new treatment strategy for enhancing anti-tumor immunity and reversing immune resistance in lung cancer.

Background:
Condyloma acuminatum (CA) is a common sexually transmitted disease caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). In recent years, research on anal CA has primarily focused on treatment rather than underlying mechanisms. The mechanism of HPV persistence and recurrence in CA require further exploration. It needs multiple researches in mechanisms to focalize treatment targets.
Objective:
To investigate the relationship between intestinal mucosal immunity and the relapse of anal CA and persistent infection.
Methods:
Levels of interferon gamma (IFN-γ) and secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbnent assay in anal mucosal cells obtained from patients treated at Tianjin Union Medical Center from September 2022 to December 2024. All the participants signed Informed Consent and the whole plan was approved by Institutional Review Board in Tianjin Union Medical Center (No. B155).
Results:
The levels of IFN-γ and sIgA significantly decreased after infection, and persistent infection exhibited even lower levels. These two factors increased following treatment, reaching peak concentrations at 4 weeks before decreasing again.
Conclusion
These findings demonstrate a significant association between persistent anal CA infection and dysregulation of intestinal mucosal immunity.

Objective:
To analyze the effects of health literacy on overweight and obesity among primary school students and their parents in terms of salt, oil and sugar reduction (referred to as the "three reductions"), so as to provide a theoretical basis for the development of obesity control measures.
Methods:
From March to April 2024, a total of 1 022 fourthgrade primary school students and 913 parents were surveyed in 24 classes in six counties in Shandong Province using multistage cluster random sampling, and physical measurements of primary school students were conducted. Pearsons correlation analysis and ordered multivariate Logistic regression were used to investigate the associations between health literacy of primary school students and their parents with overweight and obesity among children.
Results:
The detection rates of overweight and obesity primary school students in Shandong Province were 14.87% and 24.66%, respectively, with significant sex difference in obesity rate (29.46% for boys and 19.76% for girls) (χ2=12.93, P<0.01). In addition to students reducing oil scores, parental reducing salt,reducing oil,reducing sugar, comprehensive health literacy scores and students reducing salt,reducing sugar and comprehensive health literacy scores showed a negative relationship with students overweight and obesity (r=-0.10, -0.08, -0.07, -0.10, -0.04, -0.07, -0.03, P<0.05). The overweight and obesity rates among primary school students with high parental reducing salt,reducing oil,reducing sugar and composite health literacy scores were lower (OR=0.69, 0.69, 0.71, 0.63, P<0.05); and the overweight and obesity rate among students with high parental and low parental and high and low parental health literacy scores were lower (OR=0.68, 0.57, P<0.05).
Conclusion
Improving health literacy regarding "three reductions" for parents and children, especially parents, can effectively reduce the risk of childhood overweight and obesity.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the improvement effects and its mechanism of Bazheng powder on chronic urinary tract infection (CUTI) induced by Escherichia coli in rats. METHODS The rats were divided into normal control group, model group, levofloxacin group (45 mg/kg) and Bazheng powder group (4.95 g/kg), with 10 rats in each group. Except for the normal control group, other groups were administered an intravesical injection of Escherichia coli suspension (1×10⁸ cfu/mL) via the urethra to establish CUTI model; at the same time, rats in each group were administered the corresponding medicinal solution or water by gavage once a day for 4 consecutive weeks. After the last medication, blood routine tests (white blood cell count and lymphocyte percentage), the levels of serum inflammatory factors [interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, IL-8, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)], and immune indicators [CD4, CD8, secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA)], renal function indicators [cystatin C (Cys-C), α1- microglobulin (α1-MG), urea and creatinine] were all determined; the pathological changes in renal and bladder tissues in rats were observed. The protein expressions of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), and nucleotide-binding domain leucine-rich repeat and pyrin domain-containing receptor 3 (NLRP3) in rat bladder tissues were detected. RESULTS Compared with the normal control group, the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, CD8, Cys-C, α1-MG, urea and creatinine in serum, as well as the protein expressions of TLR4, NF-κB and NLRP3 in bladder tissues, were significantly elevated in the model group (P<0.05). Conversely, the levels of CD4 and SIgA were significantly decreased (P<0.05). Pathological changes, such as extensive infiltration of inflammatory cells, were observed in both renal and bladder tissues. Compared with the model group, the above quantitative indicators in the Bazheng powder group were significantly improved (P<0.05), with no obvious inflammatory lesions observed in either renal or bladder tissues. CONCLUSIONS Bazheng powder can alleviate inflammatory reaction and improve the immune function of CUTI rats, and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of TLR4/NF-κB/ NLRP3 signaling pathway.

Objective:To explore the predictive value of triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index combined with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) complicated by type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods:A total of 248 patients with CHD and T2DM admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from July 2022 to January 2024 were retrospectively enrolled. All patients were followed up for 2 years and divided into MACE group (43 cases) and non-MACE group (205 cases) according to the occurrence of MACE. Indicators such as TyG index and LDL-C were compared between the two groups, and their correlations with MACE were analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression was used to screen the risk factors for MACE in patients with CHD and T2DM. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of TyG index, LDL-C, and their combination for MACE in these patients.Results:Compared with the non-MACE group, the MACE group had significantly higher LDL-C [2.63(2.23, 2.95)mmol/L vs 1.99(1.60, 2.66)mmol/L, P<0.001] and TyG index [9.30(8.80, 9.87) vs 8.60(8.09, 9.15), P<0.001]. Multivariate logistic regression showed that TyG index was an independent risk factor for MACE in patients with CHD and T2DM ( OR=10.49, P<0.001). ROC curve results indicated that the area under the curve (AUC) of TyG index and LDL-C for predicting MACE were 0.731 and 0.686, respectively. The combined AUC of the two indicators for predicting MACE was 0.769(95% CI: 0.698-0.840), showing better predictive performance. Conclusions:TyG index combined with LDL-C has high predictive value for the risk of MACE in patients with CHD complicated by T2DM.
