ObjectiveTo investigate the therapeutic effect of sequential administration of Dihuang Baoyuan granules （DHBY， the prescription for consolidating body resistance） and Fuling Yunhua granules （FLYH， the prescription for treating symptoms） on spontaneous type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM） in mice. MethodsAccording to the fasting blood glucose （FBG） level， 12-week-old db/db mice were randomized into six groups： model， DHBY （18.02 g·kg^-1）， FLYH （14.80 g·kg^-1）， sequential administration 1 （SEQ-1， DHBY 18.02 g·kg^-1+FLYH 14.80 g·kg^-1）， sequential administration 2 （SEQ-2， FLYH 14.80 g·kg^-1+DHBY 18.02 g·kg^-1）， and dapagliflozin （Dapa， 1.3 mg·kg^-1）. The m/m mice in the same litter were selected as the normal group. The mice were administrated with corresponding drugs by gavage for 8 consecutive weeks. During the 8 weeks of drug administration and 2 weeks after withdrawal， the retinal thickness， FBG， hemoglobin A1c （HbA1c）， and insulin were determined， and histopathological changes of the pancreas， liver， kidney， and retina were observed by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining. ResultsCompared with the model group， SEQ-1 for 4 weeks lowered the FBG level （P<0.05）， raised the insulin level， decreased the triglyceride （TG） level （P<0.05）， increased the number of optic ganglion cells and diminished vacuolar degeneration of pancreatic islet and liver. SEQ-2 lowered FBG and HbA1c levels （P<0.05）， rose the insulin level， increased the retinal thickness and the number of optic ganglion cells （P<0.05）， and alleviated vacuolar degeneration of pancreatic islet and liver. Two weeks after drug withdrawal， Dapa tended to increase FBG and HbA1c compared with those at the time of drug withdrawal. However， the levels of FBG and HbA1c in the SEQ-2 group remained decreasing （P<0.05）. ConclusionSEQ-1 and SEQ-2 can lower the blood glucose level and ameliorate diabetic retinopathy， and SEQ-2 outperformed DHBY and FLYH in lowering the blood glucose level. Moreover， SEQ-2 can maintain the blood glucose-lowering effect after drug withdrawal.

Objective To explore the safety of Yttrium-90 resin microsphere selective internal radiation therapy (⁹⁰Y-SIRT) on malignant liver tumors. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 64 patients with malignant liver tumors who underwent ⁹⁰Y-SIRT from February 2023 to November 2024 at Weifang People’s Hospital. The clinical characteristics of the patients and the occurrence of adverse reactions after treatment were analyzed to assess the safety of ⁹⁰Y-SIRT. Results Among the 64 patients, there were 52 males (81.25%) and 12 females (18.75%); the average age was (56.29±11.08) years. Seven patients (10.94%) had tumors with maximum diameter of less than 5 cm, 38 patients (59.38%) had tumors with maximum diameter of 5-10 cm, and 19 patients (29.68%) had tumors with maximum diameter of greater than 10 cm. There were 47 cases (73.44%) of solitary lesions and 17 cases (26.56%) of multiple lesions; 53 cases (82.81%) were primary liver cancers and 11 cases (17.19%) were metastatic liver cancers. Of the 64 patients, 63 successfully completed the Technetium-99m macroaggregated albumin (^99mTc-MAA) perfusion test and received the ⁹⁰Y-SIRT; one patient received ⁹⁰Y-SIRT after the second ^99mTc-MAA perfusion test due to a work error. The most common adverse reactions included grade 1 alanine aminotransferase (ALT) elevation in 26 cases (40.62%) and grade 2 in 2 cases (9.37%), grade 1 aspartate aminotransferase (AST) elevation in 27 cases (42.18%) and grade 2 in 7 cases (10.93%); grade 1 nausea in 17 cases (26.56%) and grade 2 in 6 cases (9.37%); grade 1 abdominal pain in 12 cases (18.75%), grade 2 in 5 cases (7.81%), and grade 3 in 1 case (1.56%); grade 1 vomiting in 11 cases (17.18%), grade 2 in 5 cases (7.81%), and grade 3 in 1 case (1.56%). Conclusion The adverse reactions of ⁹⁰Y-SIRT for treating malignant liver tumors are mild, indicating good safety.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of kinesiophobia on illness perception and exercise self-efficacy in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) .Methods:From January to August 2023, convenience sampling was used to select CHF patients in the Department of Cardiovascular of Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University as the research subject. The patients were surveyed using the General Information Questionnaire, Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia Heart (TSK-SV Heart) , Exercise Self Efficacy Scale, and the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ) . Bootstrap method was used to examine the mediating effect of kinesiophobia on illness perception and exercise self-efficacy in CHF patients.Results:A total of 220 questionnaires were distributed, and 207 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 94.09% (207/220) . Among 207 CHF patients, the total TSK-SV Heart score, total Exercise Self Efficacy Scale score, and total BIPQ score were (43.36±10.50) , (37.00±15.84) , and (52.77±15.76) , respectively. Kinesiophobia partially mediated the relationship between illness perception and exercise self-efficacy in CHF patients, and the effect value was -0.251 ( P<0.01) , accounting for 42.76% of the total effect. Conclusions:Illness perception can directly affect the exercise self-efficacy of CHF patients, as well as indirectly affect their exercise self-efficacy through kinesiophobia. Medical and nursing staff should fully understand the patient's views on the disease, help patients have a correct understanding of the disease, and take certain intervention measures to help patients overcome their kinesiophobia, thereby improving their exercise self-efficacy.

Objective:To explore the latent profile types of capability-opportunity-motivation-behavior in stroke patients and analyze the influencing factors of different latent profiles.Methods:From January to October 2023, totally 596 stroke patients from the Neurology Department of five ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Henan Province were selected by stratified random sampling. The patients were surveyed using a general information questionnaire, the Stroke Prevention Knowledge Questionnaire (SPKQ), the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), the WHO's Quality of Life Questionnaire- Brief Version (WHOQOL-BREF), the Short Form Health Belief Model Scale (SF-HBMS), and the Health Promoting Lifestyle ProfileⅡ (HPLPⅡ). Latent profile analysis was used to classify the capability-opportunity-motivation-behavior characteristics of stroke patients, and multiple logistic regression was conducted to explore the influencing factors of different latent profiles.Results:Three latent profiles of capability-opportunity-motivation-behavior in stroke patients were identified, including low capability-opportunity-motivation-behavior with high health beliefs (32.4%, 193/596), moderate capability-opportunity-motivation-behavior with insufficient health beliefs (47.5%, 283/596), and high capability-opportunity-motivation-behavior with lack of social support (20.1%, 120/596). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that educational level, smoking history, family history, body mass index, and Charlson Comorbidity Index score were influencing factors of different latent profiles ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Stroke patients exhibit distinct classifications of capability-opportunity-motivation-behavior. Targeted interventions should be conducted based on the characteristics of each category to improve health behavior management outcomes in patients.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of rumination between self-perceived burden (SPB) and stigma in stroke patients, so as to provide theoretical basis for the development of targeted nursing interventions in clinical practice.Methods:In September 2022, cluster sampling was used to select 1 126 stroke patients admitted to Department of Neurology of five ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Henan Province as subjects. General Information Questionnaire, Self-Perceived Burden Scale (SPBS), Stroke Stigma Scale (SSS), and Chinese Version of Event Related Rumination Inventory (C-ERRI) were used to investigate stroke patients. Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between SPB, rumination, and stigma. AMOS 28.0 software was used to establish the structural equation model, and Bootstrap method was used to test the mediating effect.Results:A total of 1 126 questionnaires were distributed, and 1 026 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 91.12% (1 026/1 126). SPBS score of 1 026 stroke patients was (28.68±8.32), the SSS score was (40.53±9.48) and the C-ERRI score was (25.43±12.62). Pearson correlation analysis showed that SPB in stroke patients was positively correlated with stigma and rumination ( P<0.01), and rumination was positively correlated with stigma ( P<0.01). Bootstrap mediating effect test showed that rumination partially mediated the relationship between SPB and stigma in stroke patients, accounting for 55.15% of the total effect. Conclusions:SPB of stroke patients both directly affect stigma and indirectly affect stigma through rumination. Clinical nursing workers should promptly evaluate patients' SPB, pay attention to the mediating role of rumination, develop effective psychological intervention programs, implement personalized and targeted nursing measures, relieve patients' stigma, and improve treatment and rehabilitation compliance.

Objective:To understand the research status and hotspots in the field of stroke health management at home and abroad, and to provide insights for stroke health management research in China.Methods:Relevant literature on stroke health management published between 2013 and 2023 was retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases. CiteSpace 6.1.R6 was used for the visual analysis of the number of publications, authors, institutions, countries, and keywords.Results:A total of 382 relevant articles were included, with 169 in English and 213 in Chinese. The number of publications on stroke health management showed a fluctuating upward trend. Research hotspots and frontiers in stroke health management mainly focused on telemedicine, big data and "Internet+", primary and secondary prevention, risk prediction models, quality of life, and swallowing disorders. Future research trends may focus on management models for post-stroke swallowing disorders, risk identification, and the role of caregivers in remote rehabilitation interventions.Conclusions:Researchers can refer to the research hotspots and trends shown by the visual analysis, with particular attention to health management models for patients with post-stroke swallowing disorders and issues related to remote intervention rehabilitation.

Autophagy is the main degradation and recycling pathway for abnormal aggregates and damaged organelles in cells,and it maintains the normal metabolic balance and material renewal in cells.Autophagy has neuroprotective effects and can affect the functional state of the nervous system by regulating homeostasis,development,apoptosis,and other physiological processes of neurons and glial cells.In recent years,a large number of studies have shown that nervous system diseases are closely related to abnormal autophagy,and inhibition or overactivation of autophagy affects the occurrence and development of depression,neurodegenerative diseases,and schizophrenia.Understanding the mechanisms of autophagy in nervous system diseases is of great significance for their prevention and treatment.This paper mainly reviews the current progress of autophagy research and the above diseases of the nervous system,providing a reference for further research into these diseases.

Objective:This study aims to analyze the clinical characteristics of elderly patients with lung adenocarcinoma and to construct a predictive model for assessing their survival.Methods:We conducted a retrospective analysis of clinical data sourced from the SEER database for patients aged 60 years or older who were diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma between 2013 and 2018.Cox regression analysis was employed to identify independent prognostic factors affecting the survival of elderly lung adenocarcinoma patients, leading to the development of a nomogram model.The discriminative ability and calibration of the nomogram were assessed using the C-index and calibration curve.Each patient's total risk score was calculated based on the predictive model, and patients were stratified according to the quartiles of their total risk scores.The Kaplan-Meier method and Log-rank test were utilized to evaluate survival differences among the identified risk groups.Results:Among 38, 852 lung adenocarcinoma patients, 17, 200 were males and 21, 652 were females.Significant differences in survival rates were observed among lung adenocarcinoma patients based on age, gender, marital status, histological grade, TNM stage, tumor size, and the presence of bone, brain, or liver metastases, as well as the type of treatment received, including surgical treatment, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy(all P<0.001).The C-index of the training model was 0.815(95% CI: 0.811-0.819), while the validation model yielded a C-index of 0.810(95% CI: 0.804-0.816).The prediction model demonstrated higher Area Under Curve(AUC)values of 0.746, 0.768, and 0.775 for 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year survival in the modeling dataset, respectively, and 0.747, 0.770, and 0.777 in the validation dataset.Furthermore, the risk stratification model effectively distinguished patients at varying levels of risk( P<0.001). Conclusions:Age, gender, marital status, histological grade, TNM stage, tumor size, and the presence of bone, brain, and liver metastases, along with treatment modalities such as surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, were identified as independent prognostic factors for elderly patients with lung adenocarcinoma.The risk prediction model developed in this study effectively differentiates between patients at varying levels of risk, which holds significant implications for predicting treatment responses in elderly lung adenocarcinoma patients and advancing the practice of precision medicine.
