Objective:To explore the dual mediating effects of health belief and depression among health knowledge, social support, and health behaviors based on the capacity, opportunity, motivation-behavior (COM-B) model, and analyze the influencing factors of health behaviors in patients with ischemic stroke.Methods:This multi-center cluster sampling research recruited ischemic stroke patients ( n=1 696) who were hospitalized in neurology departments of five tertiary hospitals in Henan Province from October 2023 to October 2024. A cross-sectional investigation was conducted using the general information questionnaire, social support rating scale (SSRS), stroke prevention knowledge questionnaire(SPKQ), short form health belief model scale(SF-HBMS), health promoting lifestyle profile-Ⅱ (HPLP-Ⅱ), and patient health questionnaire-9(PHQ-9) to ultimately reveal the pathways and effect sizes among variables. Partial correlation analysis and multiple linear stepwise regression analysis were conducted to examine the relationships among social support, health knowledge, health belief, health behaviors, and depression in stroke patients by SPSS 26.0 software. Structural equation modeling was constructed using AMOS 28.0 software, and the mediating effect was tested using the Bootstrap method. Results:The scores of social support, health knowledge, health belief, and health behaviors among ischemic stroke patients were (37.46±9.94), (26.56±6.84), (75.62±12.62) and (130.79±26.27), respectively. The score of depression was 5.00 (2.00, 8.00). Health behaviors were positively correlated with health knowledge, social support, and health belief( r=0.333, 0.246, 0.267, all P<0.05), while negatively correlated with depression ( r=-0.146, P<0.05). Multiple linear stepwise regression analysis showed that health knowledge, social support, health belief, and depression were all influencing factors of health behaviors in ischemic stroke patients (all P<0.05). Health belief (effect value=0.068, 95% CI=0.048-0.093) and depression (effect value=0.009, 95% CI=0.003-0.018) both played partial mediating roles between health knowledge and health behaviors, accounting for 17.3%(0.077/0.446) of the total effect. Meanwhile, health belief (effect value=0.045, 95% CI=0.029-0.063) and depression (effect value=0.016, 95% CI=0.008-0.027) both played partial mediating roles between social support and health behaviors, accounting for 26.5%(0.061/0.230) of the total effect. Conclusion:Health knowledge and social support can not only directly influence health behaviors but also indirectly affect them through health belief and depression in patients with ischemic stroke.

Patients with rare disease are a vulnerable group in healthcare who urgently need more attention from the government and society. Despite their overall number, they face challenges such as limited diagnosis and treatment options, poor access to medications, and heavy financial burdens. Providing better protection for this group is not only essential for public well-being, but also an important indicator of societal progress. This paper analyzes the current status and challenges of rare disease protection in China, with a focus on building diagnostic and treatment networks, optimizing the multitiered social security system, and improving pharmaceutical access mechanisms. It highlights issues such as incomplete health insurance coverage, unequal resource allocation, and insufficient incentives for drug development. To address these challenges, we suggest strengthening policies, improving the multitiered social security system, encouraging social support, and promoting medical and pharmaceutical innovation to provide comprehensive care for rare disease patients.

Objective:To analyze the evolution of ceftazidime/avibactam (CZA) resistance phenotyes and clinical features of 11 ST11-KL64 carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) isolates carrying bla KPC. Methods:Eleven CRKP isolates, designated K01 to K11, obtained from infected liver transplant patients from June to September 2024 were retrospectively studied. Broth microdilution method, whole genome sequencing (WGS) and plasmid conjugation assays were employed to investigate the antimicrobial susceptibility, resistance mechanisms, and genetic structural characteristics of these CRKP isolates. Clinical data were simultaneously collected and organized to analyze the correlation between bla KPC gene mutations and the clinical efficacy of antimicrobial therapy. Results:All eleven isolates of CRKP exhibited multidrug resistance phenotypes. Among them, K01-K09 and K11 were sensitive to CZA and resistant to carbapenems, while K10 was resistant to CZA and displayed sensitivity or intermediate resistance to carbapenems. WGS analysis showed that all 11 CRKP isolates belonged to the ST11-KL64 clonal type. Among these isolates, the K01-K09 and K11 isolates carry the bla KPC-2 gene, whereas the K10 isolate carries the bla KPC-33 gene. A single nucleotide mutation in bla KPC-2 (G532T) resulted in a substitution of tyrosine (Y) for aspartic acid (D) at Ambler position 179 (D179Y), causing resistance of CRKP to CZA and reduced sensitivity to Imipenem and Meropenem. The conjugative plasmid was successfully constructed, and compared to the parental strain, its minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) to CZA increased 32 folds. Clinical data revealed that the patient developed the bla KPC-33 mutation after 51 days of CZA treatment. Conclusions:The bla KPC-33 mutation following CZA treatment for CRKP infection exhibits a considerable delay. It is essential to dynamically monitor the evolution of CRKP resistance to ensure timely adjustment of therapeutic strategies in case of the occurrence of mutations such as bla KPC-33.
