Neonatal diabetes mellitus （NDM） is a rare monogenic disorder primarily caused by insufficient insulin secretion resulting from mutations in the KCNJ11 and ABCC8 genes. Sulfonylureas， represented by glibenclamide， have become the standard therapy for this type of NDM by precisely closing the mutated ATP-sensitive potassium channels in pancreatic β cells， thereby restoring insulin secretion. Clinical studies confirm that sulfonylureas enable over 90% of patients to successfully transition from insulin to oral treatment， achieving long-term stable glycemic control and improving neurological outcomes to a certain extent. In terms of safety， severe hypoglycemia induced by sulfonylureas is relatively rare and gastrointestinal reactions are mild； moreover， sulfonylureas show good long-term tolerability， and have no adverse effects on child growth and development. In the future， by further refining the full-chain management pathway of “rapid genetic diagnosis-early intervention-specialized dosage forms-long-term follow-up”， the clinical application of sulfonylureas is expected to provide NDM patients with an optimized treatment regimen and maximize their health benefits.

Objective To analyze the latent classes of social alienation in colorectal cancer patients and further explore the influencing factors and cumulative effects of risk factors across different classes,thereby providing a reference for individualized interventions.Methods Convenience sampling was used to select colorectal cancer patients hospitalized in the gastrointestinal surgery and oncology departments of 3 tertiary-level hospitals in Shandong Province from January to June 2023 as the study subjects.A questionnaire survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire,Social Avoidance Scale,Social Anxiety Scale,UCLA Loneliness Scale,Sense of Coherence Scale,Family Cohesion Scale,and Social Support Rating Scale.Data analysis was performed using latent profile analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results A total of 292 questionnaires were distributed,with 270 valid responses collected,yielding a response rate of 92.47％.The results of the latent profile analysis indicated that social alienation among colorectal cancer patients could be categorized into 3 latent groups:the"low alienation group"(42.59％),the"high alienation-high social avoidance group"(14.08％),and the"moderate alienation-high social anxiety group"(43.33％).Results of logistic regression analysis revealed that employment status,stoma status,metastasis,sense of coherence,family cohesion,and social support were influencing factors across different categories.Moreover,a cumulative effect of sense of coherence,family cohesion,and social support on distinct categories was observed(P＜0.05).Conclusion Social alienation among colorectal cancer patients exhibits group heterogeneity.Healthcare professionals should identify the characteristic differences among patients,prioritise those with multiple risk factors,and develop targeted intervention measures to help them better integrate into society.

Objective:To develop an early exercise rehabilitation nursing for elderly patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) based on the best evidence, and explore its clinical effects.Methods:This study was a randomized controlled trial. From August to December 2022, convenience sampling was used to select 126 elderly THA patients admitted to the Department of Orthopedics of the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University as participants. Patients were divided into observation group and control group using a random number table method, with 63 cases in each group. Control group was treated with a usual exercise rehabilitation nursing, while observation group was treated with an early exercise rehabilitation nursing for elderly THA patients based on the best evidence. Changhai Pain Rating Scale, Harris Hip Score, and Barthel Index were used to evaluate pain, hip function, and activities of daily living in two groups of patients. The first time off the bed, hospital stay, and incidence of complications were recorded and compared between the two groups.Results:The Harris Hip scores of observation group patients three days after surgery and on the day of discharge were (61.13±4.82) and (77.84±4.43), respectively, which were higher than those of control group (50.75±6.19) and (70.25±7.47), and the differences were statistically significant ( t=10.502, 6.937; both P<0.01). Barthel Index scores of observation group patients were higher than those of control group on the day of surgery, three days after surgery, and the day of discharge, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=3.531, 4.609, 10.112; all P<0.01). The incidence of postoperative complications in observation group was 11.11% (7/63), while in control group it was 42.86% (27/63), with a statistically significant difference (χ 2=16.113, P<0.01). There were no statistically significant differences in the resting pain score and exercise pain score between the two groups of patients on the day after surgery ( t=-1.693, -1.354; both P>0.05). The resting pain score and exercise pain score of observation group were lower than those of control group three days after surgery and on the day of discharge, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Observation group had a shorter first time off the bed and hospital stay (1.34±0.37) and (5.48±0.66) days compared to control group (2.13±0.48) and (6.29±0.83) days, with statistically significant differences ( t=-10.346, -6.063; both P<0.01) . Conclusions:An evidence-based early exercise rehabilitation nursing for elderly THA patients can reduce the degree of pain, minimize the occurrence of complications, shorten the first time off the bed and hospital stay, and promote recovery of elderly patient.

Objective:To investigate the current status of postoperative Day 1 ambulation in patients undergoing posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) surgery under an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol, analyze the influencing factors of successful ambulation on postoperative Day 1, and explore the impact of early ambulation on postoperative recovery.Methods:Data from 397 patients who underwent PLIF surgery at Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, Capital Medical University, from September 2023 to July 2024 were retrospectively collected. Patients were divided into two groups based on whether they successfully ambulated on postoperative Day 1: the successful ambulation on Day 1 group and the delayed ambulation group. Binary Logistic regression was used to analyze the factors influencing successful ambulation on postoperative Day 1. Postoperative recovery indicators, including catheter removal time, hospital length of stay, drainage volume on postoperative Day 3, and pain scores for the low back and legs, were compared between the two groups.Results:A total of 378 patients were included in the analysis. Among them, 316 patients (83.6%) successfully ambulated on postoperative Day 1, while 62 patients (16.4%) had delayed ambulation. Logistic regression analysis indicated that postoperative Day 1 hemoglobin classification and pre-ambulation low back pain score in the supine position were independent factors influencing successful ambulation on Day 1 ( P<0.05). The successful ambulation group had a shorter catheter removal time and hospital stay compared to the delayed ambulation group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences between the two groups in postoperative drainage volume, low back pain scores, leg pain scores, or Oswestry Disability Index scores before discharge (all P>0.05) . Conclusions:Postoperative Day 1 hemoglobin levels and pre-ambulation low back pain scores are independent factors influencing the success of ambulation on postoperative Day 1 in patients undergoing PLIF surgery. Early ambulation on postoperative Day 1 helps reduce catheter removal time and length of hospital stay without increasing postoperative drainage or pain levels.

Viruses constitute a significant group of pathogens that have caused numerous fatalities and substantial economic losses in recent years, particularly with the emergence of coronaviruses. While the impact of SARS-CoV-2 appears to be diminishing in daily life, only a limited number of drugs have received approval or emergency use authorization for its treatment. Given the high mutation rate of viral genomes, host-directed agents (HDAs) have emerged as a preferred choice due to their broad applicability and lasting effectiveness. In contrast to direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), HDAs offer several advantages, including broad-spectrum antiviral activities, potential efficacy against future emerging viruses, and a lower likelihood of inducing drug resistance. In our review article, we have synthesized known host-directed antiviral targets that span diverse cellular pathways and mechanisms, shedding light on the intricate interplay between host cells and viruses. Additionally, we have provided a brief overview of the development of HDAs based on these targets. We aim for this comprehensive analysis to offer valuable perspectives and insights that can guide future antiviral research and drug development efforts.

This study investigated the role of the nuclear factor of activated T cells c3 (NFATc3) in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) during aortic aneurysm and dissection (AAD) progression and the underlying molecular mechanisms. Cytoplasmic and nuclear NFATc3 levels were elevated in human and mouse AAD. VSMC-NFATc3 deletion reduced thoracic AAD (TAAD) and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) progression in mice, contrary to VSMC-NFATc3 overexpression. VSMC-NFATc3 deletion reduced extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation and maintained the VSMC contractile phenotype. Nuclear NFATc3 targeted and transcriptionally upregulated matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) and MMP2, promoting ECM degradation and AAD development. NFATc3 promoted VSMC phenotypic switching by binding to eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (eEF2) and inhibiting its phosphorylation in the VSMC cytoplasm. Restoring eEF2 reversed the beneficial effects in VSMC-specific NFATc3-knockout mice. Cabamiquine-targets eEF2 and inhibits protein synthesis-inhibited AAD development and progression in VSMC-NFATc3-overexpressing mice. VSMC-NFATc3 promoted VSMC switch and ECM degradation while exacerbating AAD development, making it a novel potential therapeutic target for preventing and treating AAD.
