ObjectiveTo explore the effect of the medical-community linkage model on activities of daily living, psychological status and motor function of stroke patients in the community. MethodsA total of 60 stroke patients admitted to two community health service centers and their affiliated stations in Fengtai District, Beijing, from January, 2024 to August, 2025 were enrolled and randomly divided into control group (n = 30) and intervention group (n = 30). The control group received routine medicine, dietary care and rehabilitation management, while the intervention group underwent rehabilitation with the medical-community linkage model, for twelve weeks. They were assessed with modified Barthel Index (MBI), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) before and after intervention. ResultsAfter intervention, the MBI, HAMA, HAMD and FMA scores of patients improved in both groups (|t| > 5.599, P < 0.001), and improved more in the intervention group than in the control group (P < 0.05), except MBI. The HAMA and HAMD scores of family members decreased in both groups (|t| > 10.333, P < 0.001), and decreased more in the intervention group than in the control group (t > 5.681, P < 0.001). ConclusionThe medical-community linkage model can further improve the motor function of stroke patients in community, as well as the psychological status of both patients and their family members.

Objective:To study the effects of chlorhexidine (CHX) and ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) on adhesive properties of moderate fluorosis dentin.Methods:From August to September 2024, a total of 30 freshly extracted, non-carious and non-defective mandibular molars with moderate dental fluorosis, extracted for impaction or orthodontic reasons, were collected from the patients at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Guiyang Stomatological Hospital and randomly divided into three groups (Groups A, B, and C, n = 10) using a simple randomization method, and pretreated for 60 s with normal saline (Group A), 17%EDTA gel (Group B), and 2%CHX solution (Group C), respectively. Subsequently, microtensile bonding strength testing and microleakage evaluation were performed. Results:The immediate bonding strengths of Groups A, B, and C were (14.23 ± 4.75), (20.94 ± 7.46), and (28.76 ± 14.61) MPa, respectively, and the bonding strengths after aging were (9.89 ± 3.81), (19.05 ± 7.85), and (22.15 ± 8.67) MPa, respectively. There were statistically significant differences in both immediate and aged bonding strengths among the three groups ( F = 6.08, 8.07, P = 0.010, 0.002). The immediate bonding strength of Group C was significantly higher than that of Group A ( P < 0.05), and the post aging bonding strength of both Group B and Group C was significantly higher than that of Group A ( P < 0.05). The proportion of silver staining area with microleakage in Groups A, B, and C were 21.87% (14.65%, 40.15%), 2.34% (1.87%, 5.29%), and 17.54% (4.59%, 20.47%), respectively, with statistically significant differences among the three groups ( H = 27.36, P = 0.001). The proportion of silver stained area with microleakage in Group B was significantly lower than that in Group A and Group C, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05). Conclusions:Pretreatment of moderate fluorosis dentin with 2%CHX or 17%EDTA can improve resin bongding performance, with EDTA being superior in reducing microleakage and CHX being better in enhancing adhesion strength.

Aim To systematically investigate the ac-tive components,targets,and regulatory pathways of Po-lygonum capitatum in intervening atherosclerosis(AS)through network pharmacology,molecular docking and animal experiments.Methods Active components of Polygonum capitatum and AS-related targets were screened and identified through database searches.Protein-protein interaction(PPI)network analysis was performed using the STRING database,followed by GO and KEGG enrichment analyses via the David plat-form.Molecular docking validation was conducted with AutoDock.An AS model was established in Syrian golden hamsters fed a high-fat diet.Predicted pathways and targets were validated using qPCR,ELISA,and histopathological assessment of aortic and hepatic tis-sues via HE staining.Results Network pharmacology identified 27 potential active components of Polygonum capitatum(primarily flavonoids such as quercetin and luteolin)and 110 drug-disease intersection targets,in-cluding core targets MMP-9,ALB,and AKT1.GO and KEGG analyses enriched 593 and 125 pathways,re-spectively,with the NF-κB inflammatory pathway,TNF signaling pathway and lipid metabolism/atherosclerosis pathways highlighted as key mechanisms.Animal ex-periments demonstrated that Polygonum capitatum im-proved serum lipid profiles(reduced TC,TG,LDL-C)in AS hamsters,suppressed the MMP-9/NF-κB signa-ling pathway(downregulated MMP-9,p65 phosphoryla-tion,TNF-α,and IL-6),and inhibited VSMC synthetic phenotypic transformation(upregulated α-SMA and myocardin)by downregulating MCPIP1.Additionally,Polygonum capitatum ameliorated aortic lesions and he-patic lipid deposition in AS hamsters.Conclusions Polygonum capitatum alleviates AS by synergistically regulating the MMP-9/NF-κB/MCPIP1 axis through flavonoid components,suppressing vascular inflammato-ry cascades and maintaining VSMC contractile pheno-types.This reflects Polygonum capitatum's multi-com-ponent,multi-pathway,and multi-target characteristics in combating AS.
