Objective:To evaluate gait characteristics in early-stage Parkinson′s disease (PD) patients using an artificial intelligence-based quantitative motor function assessment system (Readygo) and validate whether PD patients with clinically normal gait actually exhibit objective gait impairments, and to explore the features and progression patterns of gait dysfunction in early PD.Methods:This cross-sectional, single-center study enrolled early-stage PD patients (Hoehn-Yahr stage≤2.5) from outpatient or inpatient departments of Beijing Hospital between October 2023 and October 2024, along with accompanying caregivers as healthy controls (HCs). Demographic data (sex, age, education level) were collected, and cognitive, psychological, and sleep-related scales assessments were administered. Based on the gait score (Item 3.10) from the Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson′s Disease Rating Scale-Ⅲ (MDS-UPDRS-Ⅲ), PD patients were stratified into 3 subgroups: PD-normal gait (score=0), PD-mild gait impairment (score=1), and PD-moderate gait impairment (score=2). The Readygo system quantified gait parameters, including step width, stride length, step height, gait speed, stride velocity, swing velocity, and turn duration. Binary Logistic regression was uesd to identify biomarkers differentiating PD-normal gait group from HCs.Results:A total of 66 early-stage PD patients and 34 HCs were enrolled. Across the HCs, PD-normal gait, PD-mild gait impairment and PD-moderate gait impairment groups, there was a progressive decline in gait speed [1.07 (0.97, 1.15) m/s vs 0.97 (0.90, 1.06) m/s vs 0.90 (0.82, 1.00) m/s vs 0.77 (0.72, 0.86) m/s, H=29.949, P<0.001], bilateral stride velocity [left: 1.14 (1.07, 1.21) m/s vs 1.06 (0.94, 1.14) m/s vs 0.95 (0.88, 1.04) m/s vs 0.86 (0.76, 0.93) m/s, H=30.778, P<0.001; right: 1.12 (1.04, 1.22) m/s vs 1.04 (0.95, 1.13) m/s vs 0.96 (0.90, 1.04) m/s vs 0.89 (0.77, 0.90) m/s, H=29.561, P<0.001], and bilateral swing velocity [left: (2.56±0.28) m/s vs (2.38±0.32) m/s vs (2.19±0.33) m/s vs (1.96±0.32) m/s, F=14.132, P<0.001; right: 2.46 (2.35, 2.62) m/s vs 2.35 (2.13, 2.62) m/s vs 2.22 (2.05, 2.36) m/s vs 2.03 (1.71, 2.13) m/s, H=25.771, P<0.001], along with a progressive shortening of bilateral step length [left: 1.19 (1.14, 1.27) m vs 1.15 (1.04, 1.22) m vs 1.05 (0.93, 1.18) m vs 0.95 (0.80, 1.06) m, H=32.613, P<0.001; right: 1.20 (1.14, 1.30) m vs 1.13 (1.03, 1.22) m vs 1.07 (0.90, 1.17) m vs 0.97 (0.80, 1.03) m, H=30.528, P<0.001]. Conversely, turning time progressively lengthened [1.20 (1.09, 1.49) s vs 1.21 (1.10, 1.46) s vs 1.30 (1.19, 1.51) s vs 1.98 (1.53, 2.12) s, H=23.195, P<0.001]. Logistic regression identified that the right stride length was a discriminative factor between HCs and PD-normal gait group ( OR=0.023, 95% CI 0-0.291, P=0.012). Conclusions:As gait dysfunction worsens, PD patients demonstrate gradual reductions in speed-related parameters and stride length, with increasing turn duration.Early PD patients with clinically normal gait may already exhibit subtle impairments. Right stride length may serve as a potential biomarker to distinguish PD patients from HCs.

Objective:To construct an ultrasound-responsive nano-oxygen carrier，and to enhance cell survival within myocardial patches and promote myocardial infarction（MI）repair.Methods:Ultrasound-responsive phase-change nanobubbles（ND）were first prepared and integrated into GelMA hydrogel to construct myocardial patches. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound（LIPUS）irradiation was applied to explore whether the nanobubbles could optimize the hydrogel properties. Hemoglobin（Hb）was further encapsulated into the nanobubbles to construct an oxygen carrier（ND-Hb）. In vitro and in vivo experiments were conducted to evaluate whether the optimized myocardial patches could improve cell survival and facilitate MI repair. In vitro，cell-loaded patches were divided into 6 groups（control，ND，Hb，LIPUS，LIPUS+ND，and LIPUS+oxygen carrier groups）to assess the cell viability and protein expression. In vivo，an acute MI model was established in SD rats，which were randomly assigned to 4 groups（control，Hb，LIPUS+ND，and LIPUS+oxygen carrier groups）.Myocardial patches were implanted，and cardiac function（echocardiography），cell survival（BLI imaging），angiogenesis（CD31 and α-SMA immunofluorescence）and connexin protein expression（Cx43）were evaluated. Results:Following the incorporation of ND and LIPUS irradiation，scanning electron microscopy revealed numerous micropores（about 2 μm）within the hydrogel were observed by scanning electron microscopy. The nano-oxygen carrier was successfully constructed，with a particle size of（301.2 ± 92.4）nm，and released oxygen under LIPUS stimulation. In vitro，at days 3，7，and 14，the cell survival rates in the LIPUS+oxygen carrier group［（89.6 ± 2.1）%，（79.3 ± 1.8）%，（70.9 ± Conclusions:This study successfully employs LIPUS combined with ND-Hb to enhance hydrogel properties，facilitating nutrient exchange within myocardial patches. Additionally，ultrasound-mediated oxygen release improves seed cell survival and promotes myocardial infarction repair.

Objective:To explore the current status and influencing factors of fatigue in patients with Cushing syndrome in China, so as to provide a basis for clinical interventions.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select 260 inpatients with Cushing syndrome who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria in 9 ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals within the 7 geographic subregions of China from February to April 2023 for the study. General Information Questionnaire, the Chinese version of the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory-20, Barthel Index, and Self-Rating Depression Scale were used for the survey.Results:A total of 260 questionnaires were distributed and 241 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 92.7% (241/260). The MFI-20 score of 241 patients with Cushing syndrome was 58.00 (46.00, 64.00). 65.1% (157/241) of patients with Cushing syndrome suffered from fatigue, and 73.2% (115/157) of patients with fatigue exhibited multidimensional fatigue. Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in fatigue scores among patients with Cushing syndrome with different cultural levels, recurrence frequency, activity of daily living, hypertension, and depression ( P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that depression was a risk factor for fatigue in patients with Cushing syndrome, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Fatigue in patients with Cushing syndrome needs attention. Medical and nursing staff should pay close attention to the psychological status of patients with Cushing syndrome, encourage them to actively cope, alleviate their depression, in order to improve their fatigue.

Objective:To explore the latent profile characteristics of cancer-related fatigue (CRF) in breast cancer patients during the rehabilitation phase and to analyze the influencing factors of different latent profiles.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to recruit 190 breast cancer patients in the rehabilitation phase from the follow-up cohort at Peking Union Medical College Hospital between March and May 2024. Data was collected using a general information questionnaire, the Cancer Fatigue Scale, the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale, the Self-Rating Depression Scale, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and the Visual Analogue Scale. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify the influencing factors of CRF latent profiles. A total of 190 questionnaires were distributed, and 183 valid responses were collected, yielding an effective response rate of 96.32% (183/190) .Results:Three latent profiles of CRF were identified: mild fatigue, moderate fatigue, and severe fatigue. Menopausal status, depressive symptoms, and pain scores were significant influencing factors of the CRF latent profiles ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Cancer-related fatigue in breast cancer patients during the rehabilitation phase exhibits distinct latent profile characteristics. Early identification of profile types and associated influencing factors may provide a scientific basis for healthcare professionals to develop targeted clinical interventions to help patients alleviate fatigue.

Objective:To explore the current status and research trends of cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) worldwide, and to provide a reference for clinical nursing practice.Methods:Literature related to CRCI nursing was retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection and China National Knowledge Infrastructure, with the search period from database inception to December 31, 2024. CiteSpace software was used to conduct bibliometric analysis of the included studies.Results:A total of 463 English and 43 Chinese articles were included.

Objective:To apply the Timed Up and Go Test(TUGT)to investigate the correlation between motor function, emotional state, cognitive function, and sleep quality among elderly individuals in the Chinese community.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted, involving 739 subjects aged 60 to 90 years, who were randomly recruited from December 2021 to August 2023 across Beijing, Tianjin, Zhejiang, Guangdong, and Hainan Provinces in China.Basic demographic information was collected, and the TUGT was utilized to assess motor function.Based on the TUGT time(t), the subjects were divided into three groups: normal motor function group, mild motor abnormality group, and significant motor abnormality group.Cognitive function was evaluated using the Chinese Revised Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE), while the Patient Health Questionnaire Depression Scale(PHQ-9)was employed to measure the degree of depression.Additionally, the Epworth Sleepiness Scale(ESS)was used to assess excessive daytime sleepiness.The correlation between subjects' motor function and their cognitive abilities, mood, and sleep was subsequently analyzed.Results:Systolic blood pressure, heart rate, PHQ-9, MMSE, and ESS scores were identified as significant factors influencing TUGT time.Specifically, TUGT time was positively correlated with PHQ-9 and ESS scores, while exhibiting negative correlations with systolic blood pressure, heart rate, and MMSE scores.Additionally, TUGT time was negatively correlated with the MMSE subcomponents of orientation, immediate memory, and verbal ability.All observed differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis indicated that an increase in the PHQ-9 score was associated with an odds ratio( OR)of 1.099(95% CI: 1.045-1.155, P<0.001)(mild motor abnormality group)and 1.150(95% CI: 1.066-1.242, P<0.001)(Significant motor abnormality group).Additionally, a reduction in the MMSE score was observed, with an OR of 0.939(95% CI: 0.886-0.995, P<0.001)(mild motor abnormality group)and 0.793(95% CI: 0.729-0.862, P<0.001)(Significant motor abnormality group).Furthermore, an increase in the ESS score was noted, with ORs of 1.139(95% CI: 1.094-1.186, P<0.001)(mild motor abnormality group)and 1.203(95% CI: 1.132-1.279, P<0.001)(Significant motor abnormality group).These findings suggest that these variables are independently related to decreased motor function. Conclusions:Depression, cognitive impairment, and excessive daytime sleepiness are independent risk factors for motor dysfunction among elderly individuals in community settings.The Timed Up and Go Test TUGT can be utilized for the early screening of motor function decline in this population.

Objective:To analyze the factors influencing postoperative complications and survival in patients undergoing hepatectomy for primary liver cancer (PLC).Methods:Two hundred and eighty-eight patients with PLC who underwent hepatectomy at Tianjin Medical University Cancer Hospital from April 2018 to December 2020 were prospectively enrolled, including 235 males and 53 females, aged (58.5±9.5) years. Nutritional evaluations included the nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS-2002), patient-generated subjective global assessment (PG-SGA), and physical metrics such as body mass index, handgrip strength, arm circumference, mid-arm muscle circumference (MAMC), and triceps skinfold thickness (TSF). Based on the occurrence of postoperative complications during hospitalization including abdominal infection, bleeding, bile leakage, intra-abdominal fluid accumulation, pulmonary infection, intestinal fistula, and wound dehiscence, patients were divided into two groups: the complication group ( n=205) and the non-complication group ( n=83). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the factors related to postoperative complications, while Cox proportional hazards regression was used to evaluate the impact of various variables on postoperative survival. Survival analysis was conducted using the Kaplan-Meier method, and differences in survival rates were compared using the log-rank test. Results:Compared with the non-complication group, patients in the complication group had a significantly longer postoperative hospital stay [13(8, 16) d vs. 7(5, 9) d], higher proportions of low MAMC [34.1% (24/83) vs. 20.0% (41/205)], lower grip strength [28.9% (24/83) vs. 17.6% (36/205)], higher incidence of intraoperative blood loss ≥200 ml [44.6% (37/83) vs. 22.0% (45/205)], and greater proportion of resection involving ≥3 liver segments [45.8% (38/83) vs. 26.3% (54/205)] (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified the low MAMC ( OR=2.01, 95% CI: 1.09-3.71, P=0.025), intraoperative blood loss ≥200 ml ( OR=2.75, 95% CI: 1.55-4.90, P=0.001), and resection involving ≥3 liver segments ( OR=2.02, 95% CI: 1.15-3.55, P=0.015) as independent risk factors for postoperative complications in patients undergoing hepatectomy for PLC. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that low TSF ( HR=1.94, 95% CI: 1.01-3.72, P=0.047), low handgrip strength ( HR=2.23, 95% CI: 1.29-3.88, P=0.004), and resection involving ≥3 liver segments ( HR=1.96, 95% CI: 1.15-3.36, P=0.014) were risk factors associated with poor survival after surgery. Conclusions:Low MAMC, intraoperative blood loss ≥200 ml, and resection involving ≥3 liver segments are risk factors for postoperative complications in patients undergoing hepatectomy for PLC, while low TSF, reduced handgrip strength, and resection involving ≥3 liver segments are predictors of poor postoperative survival.
