Objective: To develop a prediction model for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) risk among the elderly, so as to provide a tool for MCI early screening. Methods : From July 2022 to September 2024, a multi-stage stratified random cluster sampling method was used to recruit permanent residents aged ≥65 years from the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region as study participants. Data on sociodemographic characteristics, nutritional status, body composition indices, bone mineral density, and handgrip strength were collected through questionnaires and physical examinations. Sarcopenia was defined based on appendicular skeletal muscle index and handgrip strength. MCI was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination, with adjustments for educational level. Participants were randomly divided into a training set and a validation set in a 7∶3 ratio. LASSO regression and multivariable logistic regression models were employed to screen for predictors and construct an MCI risk prediction model. The predictive performance of the model was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results: A total of 1 641 participants were surveyed, including 755 males (46.01%) and 886 females (53.99%). The majority of participants were aged 65-<75 years, comprising 1 154 individuals (70.32%). MCI was detected in 517 participants, corresponding to a detection rate of 31.51%. Resultsfrom LASSO regression and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that residence (rural, OR = 2.323, 95% CI: 1.682-3.210), age (75-<85 years, OR = 1.405, 95% CI: 1.019-1.937; ≥85 years, OR = 3.655, 95% CI: 1.696-7.875), educational level (primary school, OR = 0.341, 95% CI: 0.247-0.472; junior high school, OR = 0.255, 95% CI: 0.160-0.408; high school, OR = 0.286, 95% CI: 0.154-0.531; bachelor's degree or above, OR = 0.120, 95% CI: 0.041-0.351), history of alcohol consumption (yes, OR = 3.216, 95% CI: 2.164-4.779), risk of malnutrition (yes, OR = 1.464, 95% CI: 1.064-2.014), sarcopenia (yes, OR = 3.197, 95% CI: 2.332-4.385), and waist-to-hip ratio (abnormal, OR = 1.540, 95% CI: 1.159-2.048) were identified as predictive factors for MCI among the elderly. In the training set, the area under the ROC curve, sensitivity, and specificity were 0.788, 0.719, and 0.712, respectively. In the validation set, the corresponding values were 0.784, 0.913, and 0.542, respectively. DCA demonstrated that the model provided a higher clinical net benefit for predicting MCI risk when the risk threshold probability ranged from 0.124 to 0.764. Conclusion The prediction model developed in this study demonstrates good discriminative ability and clinical utility, indicating its substantial value for predicting the MCI risk among the elderly.

ObjectiveTo compare the differences between wild Alpiniae Oxyphyllae Fructus（WAOF） and cultivated Alpiniae Oxyphyllae Fructus（CAOF） through a traditional quality evaluation system for medicinal materials. MethodsA total of 10 batches of WAOF and 12 batches of CAOF samples were collected from various regions of Hainan province. Relevant analytical methods from the 2020 edition of the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China were employed to observe the characteristics of WAOF and CAOF， followed by microscopic identification， thin-layer chromatography（TLC） identification， moisture content（toluene method）， total ash， acid-insoluble ash， water-soluble and alcohol-soluble extracts（hot dipping method）， water-soluble protein， total polysaccharides and total flavonoids（ultraviolet spectrophotometry）， and volatile oil content（method A under general rule 2204）. The contents of five active components（protocatechuic acid， chrysin， kaempferol， tectochrysin and nootkatone） were quantified using ultra-performance liquid chromatography（UPLC）， and the antioxidant activity was evaluated. Building upon traditional quality evaluation of AOF， quantitative measurements were conducted on its appearance traits including diameter， length， plumpness（diameter/length ratio）， and color. Canonical correlation analysis was performed using SPSS 26.0 to explore relationships between appearance traits and intrinsic quality. ResultsNo significant differences were observed between WAOF and CAOF in microscopic observation， TLC identification， moisture content， protocatechuic acid content， kaempferol content， odor， or antioxidant activity measured by 2，2ʹ-azino-bis（3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid）（ABTS） method. WAOF exhibited significantly higher levels in water-soluble extracts， alcohol-soluble extracts， total polysaccharide content， water-soluble protein content， 100-grain weight， length， and total color difference（ΔE^*ab） compared to CAOF（P<0.01）. In contrast， CAOF showed significantly higher levels of total ash， acid-insoluble ash， content of total flavonoids， volatile oil content， chrysin content， tectochrysin content， nootkatone content， diameter， plumpness， lightness（L^*）， red-green chromaticity（a^*）， yellow-blue chromaticity（b^*）， and antioxidant activity measured by 1，1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl（DPPH） method compared to WAOF（P<0.01）. Correlation analysis between 7 phenotypic traits and 8 quality traits revealed that among the phenotypic traits， plumpness， L^*， a^*， and b^* exerted significant influence on intrinsic quality. Among the quality traits， total flavonoids， volatile oils， nootkatone， chrysin， and tectochrysin contributed substantially to intrinsic quality. ConclusionPlumpness， L^*， a^*， and b^* of AOF significantly influence its intrinsic quality， and higher values of these parameters indicate relatively superior intrinsic quality. The comprehensive quality evaluation reveals that CAOF samples collected in this study are superior to their wild counterparts.

Cuproptosis, recently defined as a unique form of cell death distinct from programmed cell death, is triggered by copper overload within mitochondria. Genes associated with cuproptosis have been found to correlate with tumorigenesis and tumor progression, making the targeting of cuproptosis pathways a promising direction for anti-tumor therapies. Copper ion carriers can transport copper ions into cells, inducing cuproptosis and laying the foundation for its application in cancer treatment. This article elaborates on the homeostasis of copper and the mechanisms related to cuproptosis, further clarifying the relationship between cuproptosis and lung cancer treatment targets. This review aims to summarize current progress in research related to cuproptosis and lung cancer, providing new theories and bases for the clinical treatment of lung cancer.

Through consulting herbal medicine， medical books， and local chronicles from past dynasties to modern times， this paper systematically researched Spatholobi Caulis from name， origin， producing areas， harvesting， processing， usage， quality evaluation， functions and indications， providing a reference for the development and utilization of famous classical formulas containing Spatholobi Caulis. According to the research， Spatholobi Caulis was first recorded in the Annals of Shunning Prefecture from the Qing dynasty. It was originally a medicinal herb commonly used in Shunning， Yunnan， and was named from the red juice resembling chicken blood that flowed out after the vein was cut off. The mainstream original plants of each dynasty were Kadsura heteroclita and Spatholobus suberectus. Among them， K. heteroclita mainly focused on dispersing blood stasis and unblocking meridians， mainly treating rheumatic pain and injuries caused by falls or blows， and it is mostly used as the raw material of Jixueteng ointments. S. suberectus was commonly used as decoction pieces in decoction， which had the functions of promoting blood circulation and replenishing blood， activating meridians and collaterals， and mainly used for treating anemia， irregular menstruation， and rheumatic bone pain. The production area of Spatholobi Caulis recorded in the Qing dynasty was Yunnan. Currently， the main production area of S. suberectus is Guangxi， while the main production area of K. interior is Yunnan. In the Qing dynasty， the usage of Spatholobi Caulis was an individual prescription with other herbs before making ointments， which was usually composed of the juice of it， safflower， angelica， and glutinous rice. But in modern times， Spatholobi Caulis is mostly sliced and dried for use. The quality of Spatholobi Caulis is often determined by the number of reddish-brown concentric circles on the cut surface， with a higher number indicating better quality. Additionally， the presence of resinous secretions is also considered desirable. Based on the research findings， it is suggested that when developing famous classical formulas containing Spatholobi Caulis， the choice of the primary source should be S. suberectus or K. heteroclita， taking into consideration the therapeutic effects of the formula. It is also recommended that the latest plant classification be referenced in the next edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia， adjusting the primary source of Kadsurae Caulis to K. heteroclita to avoid confusion caused by inconsistent original names， and the functions adjust to promote Qi circulation and relieve pain， disperse blood stasis and unblock collaterals， treating injuries caused by falls and bruises.

In order to clarify the name,plant species and clinical use of the traditional Uyghur medicine"Heliyun",this article combed Uyghur medical classics such as Ehtiyarat bedey,Aksaray,Jimi elaj and Mehzenul edwiye,as well as modern literature.Herbal textual research was performed on its name,origin,properties,functional indications,etc.At the same time,on-site inspections were conducted to verify the clinical use of"Heliyun"in Xinjiang Uyghur Medical Hospital,medicinal samples were collected,and original plant identification was conducted.After herbal textual research,confirmation of clinical use of medicinal materials in Uyghur medicine,and botanical identification,the Uyghur medicinal material"Heliyun"is actually the dried fruit of Withania somnifera(L.)Dunal,and the Chinese name for this medicinal plant should be"Shuiqieguo",and the Uyghur name remains"Heliyun".This could provide a basis for standardizing the name,confirming the plant species,and promoting the clinical application of"Heliyun"in Uyghur medicine.

Objective To assess renal oxygen metabolism and iron deposition in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)patients using a combination of blood oxygen level-dependent(BOLD)and mDixon Quant techniques.Methods Clinical data of 58 T2DM patients from Tianjin First Central Hospital(September 2022-December 2023)were prospectively collected.According to urinary albumin-to-creation ratio(ACR),patients were divided into the normal albuminuria(NAU,ACR＜30 mg/g,n=35)group and the microalbuminuria(MAU,30 mg/g≤ACR＜300 mg/g,n=23)group.Thirty-three healthy volunteers were included as the control group during the same period.All participants underwent renal BOLD and mDixon Quant MRI to obtain cortical and medullary apparent relaxation rate(R2*)values.The differences of general data and image parameter values were compared between groups.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were used to analyze the diagnostic efficacy of relevant parameters for early renal function changes.Results There were significant differences in body weight,estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)and ACR between the control group,the NAU group and the MAU group(P＜0.01).The R2* value in renal cortex was lower than that in renal medulla(P＜0.01)in the same group.Apart from R2* value of BOLD renal cortex,which showed no significant difference between the three groups(P＜0.05),and the differences in the other parameters were statistically significant(P<0.05).When distinguishing between the control group and the NAU group,the NAU group and the MAU group,as well as between the control group and the early-stage T2DM(NAU+MAU)group,the combined two-sequence approach demonstrated higher area under the curve(AUCs)than any single sequence alone,with AUC value of 0.892(95%CI:0.809-0.975),0.785(95%CI:0.666-0.904)and 0.841(95%CI:0.756-0.926),respectively.Conclusion The combination of BOLD imaging with mDixon Quant enables noninvasive and quantitative assessment of alterations in renal oxygen metabolism and iron content in early-stage T2DM patients.The diagnostic performance of this combined approach surpasses that of individual methods.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the molecular epidemiological characteristics of clinical isolates of carbapen-em-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP)resistant to ceftazidime/avibactam(CZA).METHODS From Jan.2022 to Dec.2023,totally 63 strains of non-repetitive CZA-resistant CRKP that were isolated for the first time from hospitalized patients of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University were enrolled in the study,and 50 strains of CZA-sensitive CRKP were randomly chosen as the research subjects.The drug susceptibility rates of the strains were observed.The drug resistance genes,virulence genes and capsular serotypes of the strains were detected by means of polymerase chain reaction(PCR).The molecular epidemiological characteristics of the strains were observed by using molecular biological techniques such as pulse field gel electrophoresis(PFGE)and multilocus sequence typing(MLST).RESULTS Among the CZA-resistant CRKP strains,45(71.43％)were iso-lated from sputum.The result of drug susceptibility testing showed that the drug resistance rates of the CZA-re-sistant strains to amikacin,aztreonam and minocycline were lower than those of the CZA-sensitive strains(P＜0.05),and the drug resistance rates of the CZA-resistant strains to tigecycline was higher than that of the CAZ-sensitive strains(P＜0.05).The carrying rates of blaKPC,blaNDM,blaSHV-1,blaTEM-1,blaCTX-M,blaqnrS,blaacc(6')-Ib and blarmtB genes of the CZA-resistant strains were relatively high.Among the detected capsular serotypes,K64(n=18,28.57％)was dominant.ST11(n=25,39.68％)was predominant strain among the CZA-resistant CRKP strains.CONCLUSIONS ST11 is dominant among the CZA-resistant CRKP strains.The strains carry with multiple drug resistance genes and virulence genes.The drug resistance rate of the CZA-resistant strains to tigecycline is higher than that of the CZA-sensitive strains,and it is necessary to attach great importance during the clinical treatment.

Objective:To comprehensively identify, describe and evaluate the research evidence on the application of ERAS in perioperative head and neck cancer by using the method of evidence mapping, so as to understand the research status and provide reference for clinical practice and future research in this field.Methods:Adopting an evidence-integrated research approach, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database were searched by computer. In addition, relevant references and grey literature databases such as OpenGrey were manually searched until August 25, 2024, to screen and summarize the included literature, and different quality evaluation tools were used to evaluate the quality of the included studies. The present research situation was presented with text and graphs.Results:A total of 105 articles were included, including 101 original studies and 4 systematic reviews/Meta-analyses. The number of published literature showed an increasing trend over time, but it fluctuated in a zigzag pattern. The most published studies were in China, and the study population was mainly patients with laryngeal and oral cancer, with a sample size of 51-100 cases. The results of methodology quality evaluation showed that the quality of most studies was relatively low. The intervention measures mainly involved 9 subjects, such as pre-rehabilitation, nutritional support, prevention of nausea and vomiting, and the outcome indicators involved 2 aspects related to patients and hospital. More attention was paid to outcome indicators such as complication rate and length of stay, while less attention was paid to outcome indicators such as condition of sputum and survival time. Most outcome effects were shown to be "beneficial", but some outcome effects were still controversial.Conclusions:ERAS has generally shown positive effects in perioperative application of head and neck cancer, but the quality of most studies is low. More high-quality clinical studies are needed in the future to provide more sufficient evidence for the application of ERAS in this field.

Objective Watch the proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation(PNF)in the treatment of patients with shoulder-hand syndrome,and to explore its relevant therapeutic mechanisms.Methods Sixty patients with shoulder-hand syndrome were split into two groups at random:thirty cases each for observation and control.The control group received both standard medication and training in rehabilitation.Intradermal needles were inserted at the Jianjing,Jianyu,Binao,Qing Lengyuan,Shouwuli,and Quchi points and left in place for 48 hours for the treatment group.The PNF treatment was administered for thirty minutes every day,five times a week,whereas the control group underwent four weeks of traditional drug treatment and rehabilitation training.Before and after therapy,the following measures were used:the Disability of the Arm,Shoulder and Hand(DASH),the Activity of Daily Living Scale(ADL),the Simplified Fugl-Meyer Scale(FMA),and the Visual Analog Scale(VAS).In order to measure changes in endothelin-1(ET-1),nitric oxide(NO),and bradykinin(BK),serum was collected.Result Scale score:①Within-group comparison,compared with before treatment,VAS and DASH scores were significantly lower,FMA,a significant rise in ADL scores,differences were statistically significant(P<0.01).②Comparison between groups,compared with the control group,observation group of DASH score significantly lower after treatment(P<0.05),a significant rise in FMA and ADL scores(P<0.05),VAS score has no obvious difference(P>0.05).Laboratory index test:①Intra-group comparison:compared with before treatment,BK and ET-1 expression levels increased,NO and CGRP expression levels decreased,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.01).②Comparison between groups:Following treatment,the observation group showed increases in BK and ET-1 expression degrees as well as decreased NO and CGRP expression degrees.This difference was statistically significant(P<0.01).Conclusions Intradermal needle combined with PNF can promote shoulder pain symptoms,increase upper limb mobility,also improve quality of life in patients with shoulder-hand syndrome.One of the mechanisms may be to upregulate the expression level of BK and ET-1,and downregulate the expression level of NO and CGRP,so as to improve the microcirculation function and reduce the neurogenic inflammatory response.
