OBJECTIVE To compare the communication effect and content characteristics of the pharmaceutical science popularization account “Pharmacist Binbin” on the three platforms of TikTok， Xiaohongshu and Today’s Headlines， and explore the cross platform communication strategy of pharmaceutical science popularization videos.METHODS Quantitatively analyze the five core indicators of the “Pharmacist Binbin” science popularization account on the three major platforms （total video releases， number of followers， page views， high dissemination video related data， and platform user profile characteristics）， and systematically analyze the platform attributes and content compatibility.RESULTS TikTok， Xiaohongshu， and Today’s Headlines videos were released 478， 306， and 450 items， with 245 million views， 1.164 9 million views， and 14.167 1 million views， respectively. The following users were 535 000， 95 000， and 53 000 respectively. The gender ratio of TikTok users was relatively balanced， with the majority of users aged 31 to 40 years old， preferring “short， flat， and fast”， scene-oriented science popularization， and the highest exposure. The users of Xiaohongshu were mainly young and middle-aged women in first-tier and new first-tier cities， and content related to family and maternal and child medication is more popular. Today’s Headline users were mostly middle-aged and elderly people over 50 years old， and the dissemination of chronic disease science was more effective. There was a statistically significant difference in the overall video browsing volume of the three platforms with high communication power （ H ＝44.07， P ＜0.001）. The browsing volume of TikTok was significantly higher than that of Xiaohongshu and Today’s Headlines （ P ＜0.001 after correction）， and the browsing volume of Today’s Headlines was higher than that of Xiaohongshu （ P ＜0.001 after correction）； Xiaohongshu has the highest like and collection rates， while Today’s Headline has the highest sharing and commenting rates （ P ＜0.05 after correction）. The browsing volume of hot and time-sensitive content was significantly higher than that of non-hot and time-sensitive content （ β ＝0.24， P ＝0.012）. The browsing volume of the dialogue form of one person playing two roles/personification was significantly higher than that of single-person oral explanation （ β ＝0.27， P ＝0.009）.CONCLUSIONS Science popularization videos with innovative forms， timely hot topics， and long-term demand were the main high dissemination content. According to the characteristics of different platforms， such as TikTok’s flow-driven model， Xiaohongshu’s prominent vertical demand for women and families， and Today’s Headlines demand for knowledge about chronic diseases among the middle-aged and elderly， we should establish a pharmaceutical science popularization communication matrix that focuses on each other and complements each other.

Abstract To analyzes the characteristics, problems and enlightenment of physical activity observation tools, so as to provide reference for researchers to quickly and accurately choose appropriate observation tools to evaluate children s and adolescents physical activity. Literature search is conducted in eight databases of Chinese and English, including CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, Web of Science, PubMed, Medline, ERIC, and SPORTDiscus. Ultimately, eight observation tools for assessing physical activity in children and adolescents are included. Through summarization and comparison, it is found that the applications of those tools cover multiple age groups, the observation indicators cover multiple dimensions for each with varying emphases, and the applicable contexts vary in their specific background information, and recording methods tend to be quantitative. However, several issues remain to be addressed in practical applications. First, the observation indicators need to be supplemented and improved; second, physical activity in community environments and academic classrooms requires further attention; third, physical activity intensity needs to be scientifically evaluated; fourth, observation and recording methods need to be integrated and innovated; fifth, the number of observation subjects needs to be expanded. Future research could focus on developing observation tools tailored to the characteristics of Chinese children and adolescents, while drawing on foreign observation tools to comprehensively assess physical activity among children and adolescents.

BACKGROUND: There is a gap in understanding the effects of different acupoints and treatment methods (acupuncture and moxibustion) on microcirculatory changes in the lumbar region. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the thermal effects of acupuncture at Weizhong (BL40), with acupuncture at Chize (LU5) and moxibustion at both acupoints as control interventions. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS AND INTERVENTIONS: In this randomized controlled trial, 140 healthy participants were equally divided into four groups: acupuncture at BL40 (Acu-BL40), acupuncture at LU5 (Acu-LU5), moxibustion at BL40 (Mox-BL40) and moxibustion at LU5 (Mox-LU5). Participants underwent a 30-minute session of their assigned treatment. Infrared thermal imaging was used to collect temperature data on the areas of interest for analysis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary measure was the change in average temperature of the observed area after the intervention. The secondary measures included periodic temperature changes every 5 min and the temperature changes of the Governor Vessel and Bladder Meridian in the observed area after the intervention. RESULTS: Significant interactions were observed between treatments and acupoints affecting temperature (P < 0.001). The Acu-BL40 group showed a notably higher increase in mean temperature after 30 min compared to the Acu-LU5 and Mox-BL40 groups, with increases of 0.29 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.17 to 0.41) and 0.24 (95% CI = 0.08 to 0.41) °C, respectively. CONCLUSION: Acupuncture at BL40 acupoint can significantly increase the mean temperature in the observed area, highlighting the specific thermal effect of acupuncture compared to moxibustion in the lumbar area. This suggests a potential therapeutic benefit of acupuncture at BL40 for managing lumbar conditions. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05665426).

Objective To analyze the changing trends of the burden of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)in China from 1990 to 2021 and provide a basis for formulating prevention and treatment strategies.Methods The standardized incidence rate,prevalence,mortality,and disability-adjusted life year(DALY)rate of NAFLD in China from 1990 to 2021 were extracted from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021.The average annual percentage change of rate data was calculated by Joinpoint 4.2 and the age,period,and birth cohort effects of the prevalence and DALY rate were analyzed by the age-period-cohort model.Results Compared to 1990,the incidence rate and prevalence of NAFLD have been on the rise,while the mortality and DALY rate have been declining.The age effect curves of prevalence and DALY rate showed an upward trend followed by a downward trend for both males and females.With the period from 1992 to 1996 as the reference group,the period effect curve of prevalence showed a downward trend followed by an upward trend,being the lowest in the period from 2002 to 2006(RR=0.93).The period effect curve of DALY rate showed a downward trend from 1992 to 2011 and then tended to flatten out.With the period from 1972 to 1981 as the reference group,the birth cohort effect curve of prevalence showed a steady upward trend in the general population and both male and female populations.The birth cohort effect curve of DALY rate showed an overall upward trend followed by a downward trend,with the peak occurring in the birth cohort group between 1922 and 1931.The DALY rate of NAFLD caused by smoking and high fasting blood glucose has shown a downward trend since 2014,and fasting blood glucose gradually became the dominant factor as age increased.Conclusions From 1990 to 2021,NAFLD in China has shown a rising prevalence but a significantly declining DALY rate.This suggests that current prevention and control strategies are effective,and further efforts should be made to raise residents' health awareness in controlling the occurrence and development of NAFLD.

Objective To investigate the correlation between the combined assessment of preoperative 5-factor modified frailty index(mFI-5)and Naples prognostic score(NPS)with overall survival in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma(uHCC)following interventional therapy.Methods A retrospective cohort study enrolled 292 patients with uHCC who underwent interventional therapy at the Department of Hepatobiliary Pancreatic Surgery of the Second Affiliated Hospital in Army Medical University from October 2017 to December 2021.Patients were stratified into high-risk and low-risk groups based on mFI-5(≥1),NPS(≥3),and CONUT(≥4)scores.Propensity score matching(PSM)was performed to balance baseline characteristics(post-matching n=186).The primary endpoint was overall survival(OS),analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves with log-rank tests.The predictive performance of combined indicators was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves,and prognostic factors were assessed via Cox regression analysis.Results After PSM,baseline characteristics(including age,tumor markers,and treatment-related parameters)showed no significant differences between the two groups.Survival analysis demonstrated a 2.252-fold higher risk of death in the mFI-5 plus NPS high-risk group(95%CI:1.60～3.18,P<0.001).The combination of mFI-5 and NPS scores yielded an area under curve(AUC)of 0.718 for predicting 3-year overall survival,significantly outperforming either index alone(P=0.007).Multivariable Cox regression analysis identified that dual positivity for mFI-5 and NPS(HR=1.46;95%CI:1.01～2.11,P=0.044),portal vein tumor thrombosis(HR=1.49;95%CI:1.03～2.16,P=0.035),tumor diameter>5 cm(HR=2.01;95%CI:1.27～3.17,P=0.003),Barcelona clinic liver cancer(BCLC)stage C disease(HR=2.05;95%CI:1.37～3.07,P<0.001)were independent predictors of poor prognosis.Postoperative combination targeted therapy and immunotherapy was associated with significantly reduced mortality risk(HR=0.57;95%CI:0.39～0.81,P=0.002).Conclusion The combination of mFI-5 and NPS scores is significantly associated with overall survival in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma(uHCC)undergoing locoregional therapy,providing a validated tool for clinical risk stratification and personalized treatment planning.

Objective:To observe the efficacy and safety of combined lienal polypeptide injection therapy in the treatment of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia（MPP）in children aged 3 to 14 years old in multiple clinical centers.Methods:A randomized，controlled，multi-center clinical study design was adopted.A total of 240 hospitalized children aged 3 to 14 years old with MPP from 7 hospitals from September 1，2023 to January 31，2024 were included.According to the severity of pneumonia，they were divided into the mild MPP group with 80 cases and the severe MPP/refractory MPP（SMPP/RMPP）group with 160 cases，and then randomly divided into the control group and the experimental group at a ratio of 1 ∶1，using the random number table method.After screening，subjects entered a treatment period of 5 to 7 days.The control group was treated with azithromycin，while the experimental group was treated with azithromycin plus lienal polypeptide injection .The recovery of lung CT，length of hospital stay，duration of fever，cough score，whether mild cases developed into severe or refractory cases，duration of hormone use，use of intravenous immunoglobulin（IVIG），bronchoscopy treatment，and immune function were observed between the two groups to evaluate the efficacy of lienal polypeptide injection.Adverse events after medication，vital signs，blood routine，urine routine，liver function，myocardial enzymes，renal function，and electrocardiogram were observed to evaluate the safety. Results:A total of 231 subjects have completed the trial in the 7 hospitals，including 118 cases in the experimental group and 113 cases in the control group.Main observation index：the rate of lung CT aggravation in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group（2.6% vs 15.3%， P<0.01），and the difference was statistically significant.Secondary indexes：there were no statistically significant differences in the length of hospital stay，duration of fever，cough score，duration of hormone use，whether IVIG treatment was used，the number of bronchoscopy treatment cases，and immunoglobulin between the two groups（all P>0.05）.However，the rate of cases of plastic bronchitis（PB）found under bronchoscopy in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group（0 vs 18.8%， P=0.03），and the difference was statistically significant.Among the mild MPP（72 cases），there were no statistically significant differences in the length of hospital stay，duration of fever，cough score，duration of hormone use，whether IVIG treatment was used，the number of bronchoscopy treatment cases，and the improvement rate of lung CT between the two groups（all P>0.05）.However，compared with the control group，the rate of cases developing into SMPP/RMPP in the experimental group was less（24.3% vs 48.6%， P=0.03），and the difference in IgG before and after treatment was small［0.53（-0.04，1.18）g/L vs 1.33（0.48，2.25）g/L， P=0.01］.Among the SMPP/RMPP cases（159 cases），the rate of cases of PB found under bronchoscopy in the experimental group was less than that in the control group（0 vs 20%， P=0.04），and the rate of cases with aggravated lung CT in the experimental group was less than that in the control group（1.3% vs 19.5%， P<0.01），and the improvement rate of lung CT in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group（88.8% vs 75.3%， P=0.03），with statistically significant differences.There were no statistically significant differences in the length of hospital stay，duration of fever，cough score，duration of hormone use，whether IVIG treatment was used，the number of bronchoscopy treatment cases，and immunoglobulin between the two groups（all P>0.05）.Two cases in the experimental group developed rashes，which improved after the drug was discontinued.There were no serious adverse reactions such as abnormal vital signs like dyspnea and cyanosis due to the use of lienal polypeptide injection.There were no obvious changes in blood routine，liver function，myocardial enzymes，renal function，electrocardiogram，and urine routine values before and after medication compared with the baseline. Conclusion:The combined use of lienal polypeptide injection in the treatment of MPP in children can reduce the probability of the transformation from mild cases to SMPP/RMPP，reduce the rate of aggravation of the image findings，promote the absorption of lung inflammation，reduce the rate of PB found under bronchoscopy，and has good safety.

Objective To investigate the clinical application of three-dimensional magnetic resonance(MR)visualization in difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Methods A total of 100 patients with gallstones who were admitted to the Second People's Hospital of Shantou from January 2022 to December 2023 were selected as research objects.The patients met the criteria of"difficult gallbladder"and were assigned to two groups according to random number table.The control group(n=50)were treated with routine laparoscopic cholecystectomy.In the observation group(n=50),laparoscopic cholecystectomy was assisted by MR 3D visualization model.Surgical indexes,pain within 1 day after surgery,risk of intraoperative trauma,and incidence of postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.Results Surgical indexes and recovery indexes in the observation group were superior to those in the control group(P<0.05).The visual analogue scale(VAS)score within 1 d after operation was significantly lower than that before operation in both groups,and the improvement of VAS score in the observation group was better than that in the control group(P<0.05).The incidence of gallbladder rupture(0.00%vs 10.00%)and liver margin injury(0.00%vs 8.00%)in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The incidence of complications in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group(2.00%vs 14.00%,P<0.05).Conclusion The construction of MR 3D visualization model can provide clearer surgical field for laparoscopic cholecystectomy,and enable the operator to clarify the anatomical structure of the gallbladder,avoid surgical trauma,improve the postoperative recovery,alleviate postoperative pain,and reduce the risk of complications.

Objective To investigate the effects of scutellarin(SCU)on apoptosis of nucleus pulposus cells and the Janus kinas 2/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(JAK2/STAT3)signaling pathway in intervertebral disc degeneration(IVDD)model rats.Methods IVDD rats were randomly divided into IVDD group,SCU low and high dose groups(SCU-L,SCU-H groups),SCU high dose+JAK2 activator bispecific protein phosphatase 19(DUSP19)group(SCU-H+DUSP19 group)and control group.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)method was applied to detect inflammatory factors and oxidative stress level in intervertebral disc tissues.Eosin stai-ning(HE)staining microscopy was used to observe pathological damage of intervertebral disc tissue.Transferase mediated dUTP notch end labeling(TUNEL)staining microscopy was applied to detect apoptosis of nucleus pulpo-sus cells in intervertebral disc tissue.Western blot was applied to detect the expression of JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway related proteins.Results Animals in the IVDD group were suffered from partial rupture of the fibrous ring in the intervertebral disc tissue,abnormal shrinkage of the nucleus pulposus structure with reduction of nucleus pul-posus cells and blurred boundary with the fibrous ring.The level of TNF-α,IL-1β,ROS and apoptosis rate of nu-cleus pulposus cells,the expression of Bax,cleaved caspase-3,p-JAK2/JAK2,p-STAT3/STAT3 were all elevated and the expression of SOD,type Ⅱ collagen,and polysaccharides decreased(P＜0.05).The morphology,cell structure,density of fibrous ring and nucleus pulposus in the intervertebral disc tissue of the SCU-L and SCU-H groups were improved as compared to IVDD group.The degeneration was alleviated to varying degrees.The level of TNF-α,IL-1β,ROS,apoptosis rate of nucleus pulposus cells and the expression of Bax,cleaved caspase-3,p-JAK2/JAK2,p-STAT3/STAT3 were all reduced and the expression of SOD,type Ⅱ collagen,and polysaccha-rides significantly increased(P＜0.05).DUSP19 partially reverses the effect of SCU on apoptosis of IVDD rats.Conclusions SCU may alleviate apoptosis of nucleus pulposus cells in IVDD rats.
