Objective: To evaluate the effect of exercise prescription intervention among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), so as to provide the evidence for guiding appropriate physical activity and glycemic control in this population. Methods: In July 2023, T2DM patients managed by two community health service centers in Qingjiangpu District, Huai'an City, Jiangsu Province, were selected as the study participants and randomly assigned divided into a control group and an intervention group. The control group received routine chronic disease management under the basic public health services, while the intervention group, in addition to receiving the same routine chronic disease management, was provided with exercise prescription to guide their physical activity at baseline (T0), after 3 months of intervention (T1), and after 6 months of intervention (T2). Data on weight-related indicators, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and blood lipid were collected through physical examinations and laboratory tests at T0 and after 12 months of intervention (T3). The differences in indicators between the two groups before and after the intervention were analyzed using generalized estimating equations. Results: The intervention group consisted of 197 patients, including 99 males, accounting for 50.25%. The median disease duration was 7.10 (interquartile range, 7.80) years, and 113 patients had suboptimal HbA1c levels, accounting for 57.36%. The control group included 196 patients, including 99 females, accounting for 50.51%. The median disease duration was 6.10 (interquartile range, 7.00) years, and 100 patients had suboptimal HbA1c levels, accounting for 51.02%. Before the intervention, no statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups in gender, educational level, disease duration, pharmacological treatment, smoking, alcohol consumption, and HbA1c levels (all P>0.05). In the intervention group, the proportion of participants engaging in aerobic exercise and strength training increased from 78.17% and 8.12% at T0 to 85.79% and 16.24% at T3, respectively (both P<0.05). The results of the generalized estimating equations revealed significant interactions between group and time for waist-to-hip ratio, total cholesterol (TC), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) following the intervention (all P<0.05). A statistically significant difference in waist-to-hip ratio was found between the two groups (P<0.05), with a greater reduction observed in the intervention group compared to the control group. Significant differences in TC and LDL-C levels were noted across different intervention time points (both P<0.05). Specifically, the intervention group demonstrated reductions of 0.35 mmol/L in TC and 0.42 mmol/L in LDL-C from baseline to follow-up (both P<0.05). Conclusion The 12-month exercise prescription intervention can effectively enhance exercise participation and reduce waist-to-hip ratio, TC, and LDL-C levels among patients with T2DM.

Three-dimensional printed patient-specific instrumentation (3D-PSI) provides a precise and individualized treatment solution for unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). Currently, this technology is being applied in clinical practice and has demonstrated certain potential. Compared to conventional instrumentation (CI), 3D-PSI offers a broader range of indications, higher-quality preoperative planning, shorter surgical time, a smoother learning curve, more precise osteotomy and prosthesis placement, and better postoperative functional recovery. However, it still has limitations in the rotational alignment of the tibial component. Additionally, the higher cost for patients and increased hospital equipment investment make it less beneficial for surgeons already proficient in CI techniques. Further reliable evidence is needed to compare 3D-PSI with computer navigation and robotic technologies. This review summarizes the advantages and limitations of 3D-PSI assisted UKA and compares 3D-PSI with different auxiliary technologies.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect and mechanism of warming channels and activating blood circulation external treat-ment to alleviate peripheral hyperalgesia in knee osteoarthritis(KOA)based on NGF/TrKA signaling pathway.METHODS 30 SD rats were randomly divided into normal group,KOA group and Yiceng group.KOA model was established by anterior cruciate ligament transection(ACLT).14 days after model establishment,rats in Yiceng group were treated with Yiceng patch.The peripheral pain threshold of rats was measured at different time points.The cartilage sections were stained with HE,Aggrecan and type II collagen.The synovial sections were stained with HE,Sirius red,silver and performed with immunostaining.The protein expression of key molecules NGF and TrKA of NGF/TrKA signaling pathway,inflammatory index IL-1β,pain mediator TRPV1,pan-neural mark-ers PGP9.5 and S100 in synovium and complexes transported to dorsal root ganglia(DRG)tissues via nerve endings was determined by Western Blot.The corresponding gene expression was determined by qPCR.The levels of NGF and SP in peripheral blood of rats were determined by ELISA.RESULTS Compared with the KOA group,the cold allodynia and mechanical allodynia thresholds of the rats in the Yiceng group increased(P<0.05,P<0.01);the protein and gene expression of NGF,TrKA,TRPV1,IL-1β,PGP9.5 in the synovial tissue decreased(P<0.05,P<0.01);the protein and gene expression levels of TRPV1,PGP9.5,S100 in the DRG tissue were downregulated(P<0.05,P<0.01).CONCLUSION The warming channels and activating blood circulation external treatment can inhibit the NGF/TrKA signaling pathway,downregulate the gene and protein expressions of NGF,TrKA,TRPV1,IL-1β,PGP9.5,and may inhibit the sprouting of sensory nerve fibers and improve the peripheral hyperalgesia state of rats with KOA.

Objective:To investigate the effect of early protein supplementation on the clinical outcomes of elderly ICU patients with critically ill.Methods:The study was a post-hoc analysis of a multicenter, cluster randomized controlled trial (NEED trial), which aimed to evaluate the impact of feeding protocol on nutritional implementation and outcomes in ICU patients. It was planned to include elderly patients aged ≥70 years from the NEED trial, and patients who had not started nutritional therapy by the Day 3 after enrolment, stayed in the ICU less than 7 days, missing the primary outcome were excluded. The primary outcome of this study was 28-day mortality of enrolment. Patients were categorized into Q1 (<0.6 g/kg/d), Q2 (0.6-0.83 g/kg/d), and Q3 (≥0.83 g/kg/d) groups according to the tertiles of protein supply. The log-rank test was used to compare the Kaplan-Meier survival curves for 28-day mortality. The associations between different protein groups and 28-day mortality were tested by Cox proportional hazards regression models. Subgroup analysis was conducted in patients with high (mNUTRIC score≥5) nutritional risk or patients with baseline acute kidney injury.Results:A total of 789 elderly (≥70 years) patients was included in the study, with a mean protein amount of 0.69 (0.53, 0.91) g/(kg·d) during days 3-7 after ICU admission, and mean protein amounts in the Q1 low-protein group, the Q2 medium-protein group, and the Q3 high-protein group were 0.46 (0.36, 0.53), 0.69 (0.63, 0.76), and 1.03 (0.91, 1.23) g/(kg·d), respectively. The results showed that the medium protein group associated with lower 28-day mortality compared to the high protein group, and the association between the medium protein group and lower 28-day mortality still held after controlling for possible confounders by Cox multivariate regression analysis. In the high-nutritional risk subgroup (mNUTRIC≥5), a significant association was also found between the medium protein group and lower 28-day mortality.Conclusions:Early high protein supply are not beneficial for elderly ICU patients by this large sample size post-hoc analysis, and medium protein supply associate with lower 28-day mortality compared with the high protein group. This study may provide a theoretical basis for the optimal dose of early protein supply in elderly ICU patients, as well as a reference for clinical implementation.

Objective:To study the feasibility of indwelling ureteral stent for a short time (72 hours) in patients after uncomplicated retrograde intrarenal stone surgery(RIRS).Methods:The clinical data of 58 patients who underwent uncomplicated flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy in Xuancheng People's Hospital from October 2020 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. According to indwelling time of ureteral stent after surgery, the patients were divided into two groups. There were 26 cases indwelling within 72 hours after operation, named as the observation group, and 32 cases indwelling for about 3 weeks after operation, named as the control group. There was no significant difference in gender [male/female: 14/12 vs. 21/11], age [(43.4 ± 10.2) vs. (43.9 ± 11.9) years old], affected side [left/right: 17/9 vs. 20/12], and maximum diameter of stones [(9.3 ± 1.8) mm vs. (9.7 ± 1.9) mm] between the observation group and the control group. All patients in the two groups underwent unilateral ureteroscopic lithotripsy under general anesthesia. The stone removal rate, recovery of water accumulation and incidence of postoperative complications in the first and third months after the surgery were compared.Results:There was no statistical difference between the observation group and the control group in the stone removal rate [100.0% (26/26) vs. 96.9% (31/32)] and recovery of hydronephrosis [100.0% (26/26) vs. 96.9% (31/32)] at the first month after surgery. All the stones were removed and all the hydronephrosis recovery in the two groups at the 3rd month after surgery. The rates of postoperative lumbar and abdominal pain [3.9% (1/26) vs. 28.1% (9/32)], carnal hematuria [3.9% (1/26) vs. 59.4% (19/32)], urinary tract infection [0 vs. 15.6% (5/32)], and bladder irritation [0 vs. 68.8% (22/32)] in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Indwelling a ureteral stent for a short time (72 hours) after uncomplicated RIRS does not affect the surgical effect and does reduce the risk of complications as well as promote rapid postoperative recovery.

Disorders of the gut flora (GF) affect the level of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in the brain of patients with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and influence the development of the disease. Most of the acupuncture points selected for GAD are based on the principles of local acupuncture points and acupuncture points following the distant channels of the meridians, regarding Baihui (DU 20), Fengchi (GB 20), and Yintang (GV 29) as the main acupuncture points, and the acupuncture points selected for the regulation of GF are Zhongwan (CV 12), Tianshu (ST 25), and Guanyuan (RN 4) and Zusanli (ST 36). Recently, many studies have been conducted on the mechanism of action of acupuncture in the treatment of GAD from the perspective of GF, but few have investigated the theoretical of acupuncture points used to prevent and treat GAD. This paper discusses the theoretical basis of acupuncture to regulate the "microbiota-gut-brain axis" (MGBA) for the prevention and treatment of GAD, and proposes the method of "regulating the internal organs and calming the mind and relieving anxiety" through analyzing the researches on the regulation of GF and GAD.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors and their warning value for the occurrence of sepsis in patients with severe multiple trauma.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 92 patients with severe multiple trauma admitted to Yuyao People′s Hospital from July 2019 to October 2021. There were 71 males and 21 females, with the age range of 36-55 years [(45.5±13.6)years]. The injury severity score (ISS) was 20-29 points [(25.3±6.4)points]. The patients were divided into sepsis group ( n=32) and non-sepsis group ( n=60) according to whether sepsis occurred during hospitalization. Data were recorded for the two groups, including gender, age, basic diseases, cause of injury, number of injury sites, ISS, post-injury complications, and levels of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) at 1, 3 and 5 days after injury. The above data were analyzed to identify their correlation with the occurrence of sepsis in patients with severe multiple trauma by univariate analysis. The independent risk factors for sepsis in patients with severe multiple trauma were determined by multivariate Logistic regression analysis. The warning value of the single or combined risk factors for the occurrence of sepsis in patients with severe multiple trauma was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under the curve (AUC). Results:By univariate analysis, it was demonstrated that the occurrence of sepsis was correlated with ISS, level of AHR at day 1 after injury, level of CRP at day 3 after injury and level of PCT at day 3 after injury ( P<0.05 or 0.01), but not with age, sex, basic diseases, level of AHR at 3, 5 days after injury, level of PCT at 1, 5 days after injury and level of CRP at 1, 5 days after injury (all P>0.05). By multivariate Logistic regression analysis, higher ISS ( OR=1.12, 95% CI 1.01, 1.24, P<0.05), level of AHR at day 1 after injury ( OR=1.30, 95% CI 1.10, 1.52, P<0.01) and level of PCT at day 3 after injury ( OR=1.81, 95% CI 1.08, 3.03, P<0.05) were found to be strongly correlated with the occurrence of sepsis. ROC curve analysis showed that higher ISS (AUC=0.69, 95% CI 0.57, 0.76) and level of AHR at day 1 after injury (AUC=0.79, 95% CI 0.68, 0.90) had warning value for the occurrence of sepsis, and the warning efficiency of combined panel was much better (AUC=0.86, 95% CI 0.77, 0.95). Conclusions:Higher ISS, level of AHR at day 1 after injury and level of PCT at day 3 after injury are independent risk factors for the occurrence of sepsis in patients with severe multiple trauma. ISS, AHR and combination of both exhibit good warning value for the occurrence of sepsis in patients with severe multiple trauma.

Algae are a large group of photosynthetic organisms responsible for approximately half of the earth's total photosynthesis. In addition to their fundamental ecological roles as oxygen producers and as the food base for almost all aquatic life, algae are also a rich source of bioactive natural products, including several clinical drugs. Cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450s) are a superfamily of biocatalysts that are extensively involved in natural product biosynthesis by mediating various types of reactions. In the post-genome era, a growing number of P450 genes have been discovered from algae, indicating their important roles in algal life-cycle. However, the functional studies of algal P450s remain limited. Benefitting from the recent technical advances in algae cultivation and genetic manipulation, the researches on P450s in algal natural product biosynthesis have been approaching to a new stage. Moreover, some photoautotrophic algae have been developed into "photo-bioreactors" for heterologous P450s to produce high-value added pharmaceuticals and chemicals in a carbon-neutral or carbon-negative manner. Here, we comprehensively review these advances of P450 studies in algae from 2000 to 2021.

Objective:To investigate the mechanism of resolvin D1 (RvD1) in alleviating brain injury after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) through regulating autophagy pathway in pigs.Methods:Nineteen male domestic pigs, weighing 30-41 kg, were divided into 3 groups using a random number table method: sham group (S group, n=5), CPR group ( n=7), and RvD1 group ( n=7). In the S group, the animals only experienced general preparation. In the CPR and RvD1 groups, the pig CPR model was established by 8 min of cardiac arrest caused by electrically induced ventricular fibrillation, and followed by 5 min of CPR. At 5 min after resuscitation, a dose of 0.6 μg/kg of resolvin D1 was injected via femoral vein in the RvD1 group, and the same amount of vehicle was similarly administered in the other two groups. At 1, 3, 6, and 24 h after resuscitation, blood samples were collected from the femoral vein to measure serum concentrations of neuron specific enolase (NSE) and S100β protein by ELISA. At 24 h after resuscitation, neurological function was evaluated by neurological deficit score (NDS), and then the animals were euthanized to obtain cerebral cortex for measuring the expressions of phosphorylated AMP-activated protein kinase (p-AMPK), phosphorylated mammalian target of rapamycin (p-mTOR), microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 (LC3 II) and p62 by Western blot. The variables were compared with One-way analysis of variance and then the Bonferroni test among the three groups. Results:During 24 h after resuscitation, the NDS was significantly increased accompanied with significantly greater concentrations of NSE and S100β in serum in the CPR and RvD1 groups compared to the S group (all P<0.05). However, the NDS was significantly decreased at 24 h after resuscitation [(182±34) vs.(124±18), P<0.05], and serum NSE and S100β were significantly reduced starting 3 h after resuscitation in the RvD1 group compared to the CPR group [NSE (ng/mL): (23.1±3.8) vs. (18.0±2.2) at 3 h, (27.3±2.9) vs. (19.8±1.4) at 6 h, and (28.1±1.3) vs. (15.1±2.1) at 24 h; S100B (pg/mL): (1 611±208) vs. (1 322±100) at 3 h, (1 825±197) vs. (1 410±102) at 6 h, and (1 613±138) vs. (1 183±139) at 24 h, all P<0.05]. The expression levels of p-AMPK and LC3 II were significantly increased while the expression levels of p-mTOR and p62 were significantly decreased at 24 h after resuscitation in the CPR and RvD1 groups compared to the S group (all P<0.05). However, the expression levels of p-AMPK and LC3 II were significantly lower and the expression levels of p-mTOR and p62 were significantly higher at 24 h after resuscitation in the RvD1 group compared to the CPR group [p-AMPK: (0.28±0.08) vs. (0.17±0.03); LC3 II: (0.33±0.09) vs. (0.21±0.04); p-mTOR: (0.13±0.02) vs. (0.16±0.02); p62: (0.16±0.05) vs. (0.22±0.02), all P<0.05]. Conclusions:The protective mechanism by which RvD1 alleviates brain injury after CPR in pigs might be related to the inhibition of neuronal autophagy mediated by AMPK/mTOR pathway.
