Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by synovitis as its pathological basis. Although current therapeutic drugs can alleviate symptoms, they are often accompanied by a high risk of side effects. In recent years, the use of flavonoids from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the treatment of RA has garnered significant attention. Studies have shown that the mechanisms by which flavonoids treat RA include inhibiting the release of pro-inflammatory factors, regulating multiple cellular signaling pathways, alleviating oxidative stress, modulating immune system functions, inhibiting bone destruction, and suppressing angiogenesis. Due to their notable anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory activities, flavonoids hold promise as potential therapeutic agents for RA. A substantial number of articles in this field have been published. By reviewing Chinese and international literature and applying bibliometric and visual analysis using CiteSpace, this paper explored research hotspots and frontiers in this field, systematically reviewed the structures and anti-RA mechanisms of TCM flavonoids, provided a theoretical basis for their use in RA treatment and clinical applications, and offered new perspectives and references for the discovery of novel TCM-based anti-RA drugs.

Objective:To analyze the patterns of change of brain function among civil pilots in prospective memory tasks by using task-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and a cue-based repetitive search task.Methods:A total of 85 subjects were enrolled, including 47 civil pilots (pilot group) and 38 ordinary workers (control group). The task-state fMRI data during the execution of the prospective memory task was analyzed using a general linear model to find out about the activation patterns of brain functions in the 2 groups in the 3 phases of encoding, maintenance, and retrieval of the prospective memory task. The differences in activation patterns between the 2 groups and correlations between regions of interest and the rate of accuracy, reaction time and flying hours were analyzed.Results:The repeated measurement analysis of variance showed that there were no interactions of reaction time or of the rate of accuracy between the task and grouping ( P>0.05), and that the difference in the main effect of grouping was significant ( F=5.67, 15.46, P=0.020, <0.001). The difference in the main effect of grouping on the rate of accuracy was significant ( F=5.42, P=0.022), and the rate of accuracy in the pilot group was higher than in the control group ( P=0.048). In the phase of encoding, the activation in the bilateral cerebellum, bilateral superior frontal gyrus, bilateral fusiform gyrus, and temporal lobe regions decreased in the pilot group compared with the control group ( t=2.68-4.13, all P<0.05), while the activation in the fusiform gyrus and the right parietal superior gyrus increased, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=3.28, 3.35, 3.02, P=0.038, 0.024, 0.042). During the phase of maintenance, the pilot group showed significantly reduced activation in the bilateral cerebellum, bilateral medial superior frontal gyrus, bilateral middle occipital gyri, and the right middle temporal gyrus compared with the control group ( t=2.24-3.36, P<0.05 or 0.01). In the retrieval phase, activation in the right peri-calcarine cortex, bilateral caudate nuclei, and bilateral precentral and postcentral gyri was enhanced in the pilot group compared with the control group ( t=2.57-3.35, all P<0.05), especially in the right middle frontal gyrus ( t=3.12, P=0.007). In the encoding phase, activation was increased in the left fusiform gyrus and right parietal superior gyrus of the pilot group, which was positively correlated with flying hours in the last 3 months ( r=0.347, 0.418, P=0.020, 0.005). Conclusions:Due to long-term flights, the way in which such regions as the frontal lobe, cerebellum, and default mode network are activated in civil pilots is likely to undergo some changes during prospective memory activities, which is why they have higher processing efficiency when performing prospective memory tasks.

Objective:To investigate the current status of innovative behavior among male nurses in the Anhui Province, conduct potential profile analysis and explore its influencing factors, providing reference for formulating intervention stratigies to enhance innovative behavior among male nurses.Methods:From January to February 2022, a stratified convenience sampling method was used to select clinical male nurses as the participants from five tertiary and first-class comprehensive hospitals in Anhui Province. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using the general demoraphic questionnaire, Nurse Innovation Behavior Scale, Authentic Leadership Scale, and Psychological Capital Questionnaire. Potential profile analysis was conducted on the innovative behavior characteristics of male nurses, and single factor analysis and Logistic regression analysis were used to test the differences in male nurses' innovative behavior characteristics.Results:Among the 220 male nurses, 107 (48.64%) were under the age of 30, accounting for the largest proportion. The innovative behavior score of participants was (38.83 ± 7.80) points, which could be divided into three categories: low-level silent type (27.3%, 60/220), medium-level conservative type (44.5%, 98/220), and high-level active type (28.2%, 62/220). Compared to the low-level silent type, male nurses with higher levels of perceived authentic leadership were more likely to belong to the medium-level conservative type ( OR = 1.055, 95% CI 1.019 - 1.093, P<0.05) and the high-level active type ( OR = 1.124, 95% CI 1.066 - 1.184, P<0.01). The higher the level of psychological capital, the greater the probability that male nurses belong to the medium-level conservative type ( OR = 1.088, 95% CI 1.050 - 1.128, P<0.01) and the high-level active type ( OR = 1.273, 95% CI 1.196 - 1.355, P<0.01). Conclusions:The innovative behavior of male nurses in Anhui Province was at a medium level and had obvious classification characteristics. Nursing managers should focus on low-level silent type and medium-level conservative type male nurses, and adopt targeted interventions and support based on different category characteristics to improve their innovation behavior capacities in clinical settings.

Objective:To establish and validate a nomogram for postoperative disease progression (including recurrence, metastasis, and death) in patients with primary liver cancer (PLC) based on quantitative CT measurements of relevant indicators.Methods:Clinical data of 290 patients with PLC admitted to Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University and Kunshan Hospital Affiliated to Jiangsu University from January 2016 to December 2021 were retrospectively collected, including 177 males and 113 females, aged (60.3±11.9) years. Two hundred and three patients admitted to Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University were used as the training set, and 87 patients admitted to Kunshan Hospital Affiliated to Jiangsu University were used as the validation set. The patient's condition of ascites , tumor length, number of lesions, tumor differentiation degree, relevant indicators of quantitative CT detection (including decreased muscle mass and increased intra-abdominal fat area), prognosis and other clinical data were recorded. The influencing factors of postoperative disease progression was analyzed through multiple logistic regression in the training set, and the nomogram model was constructed based on the results of multiple factor analysis. The predictive performance of the model was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and calibration curves. The clinical applicability of predictive models was evaluated using the decision curve analysis.Results:The results of multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the increase in maximum tumor diameter ( OR=1.519, 95% CI: 1.251-1.843), multiple lesions ( OR=3.193, 95% CI: 1.493-6.830), low tumor differentiation ( OR=5.604, 95% CI: 2.442-12.863), ascites ( OR=3.321, 95% CI: 1.166-9.463), portal vein tumor thrombus ( OR=3.990, 95% CI: 1.681-9.474), decreased muscle mass ( OR=2.173, 95% CI: 1.051-4.492) and increased intra-abdominal fat area ( OR=2.634, 95% CI: 1.276-5.438) were independent risk factors for postoperative disease progression in patients with PLC (all P<0.05). A nomogram was constructed based on the above variables, and the area under the ROC curve for predicting postoperative disease progression in patients with PLC in the training set and validation set was 0.862 (95% CI: 0.810-0.914) and 0.879 (95% CI: 0.806-0.953), respectively. The calibration curve and ideal curve fit well, indicating that the predicted situation was basically consistent with the actual situation. Decision curve analysis showed that the column chart model had a high clinical net benefit and good clinical prediction effectiveness. Conclusion:The nomogram constructed based on the maximum diameter of the tumor, the number of lesions, the degree of tumor differentiation, ascites, portal vein tumor thrombus, decreased muscle mass, and increased intra-abdominal fat area has good predictive power for postoperative disease progression in patients with PLC.
