ObjectiveTo explore the complex network relationships among pain, kinesiophobia, social participation and knee function in patients after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and to analyze the moderating effects of different socio-structural factors on the rehabilitation network from an ethical equity perspective. MethodsA convenience sampling method was used to select 291 patients who underwent TKA in Qilu Hospital of Shandong University from May to July, 2023. Pain was assessed using Numerical Rating Scale, kinesiophobia with Chinese short version of the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia, social participation with Impact on Participation and Autonomy Questionnaire, and knee function with Hospital for Special Surgery Knee Score. A partial correlation network among pain, kinesiophobia, social participation and knee function was constructed using Graphical Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator. Key variables were identified through node centrality and bridge centrality analysis. Network Comparison Tests (NCT) were used to analyze network differences among subgroups based on different socio-structural characteristics. ResultsIn the network model, the nodes with the highest strength centrality were indoor participation, activity behavior and activity pain. Bridge centrality analysis indicated that activity pain, knee function, indoor participation and activity cognition were key bridge nodes. NCT revealed no significant differences in overall network structure or global strength among subgroups based on residence, education level or payment method (P > 0.05). However, significant differences in edge weights were found for specific edges such as activity cognition-activity behavior and knee function-indoor participation (P < 0.05). ConclusionThere is a network of interactions among pain, kinesiophobia, social participation and knee function in patients after TKA, with nodes such as indoor participation and activity pain playing key roles in the rehabilitation process. Although the overall rehabilitation network is similar across different socio-structural groups, variations exist in specific relational pathways among patients from rural areas, those with lower education levels, and those with out-of-pocket payment. This suggests that clinical rehabilitation interventions should focus on these core nodes and implement targeted support strategies for socio-structurally disadvantaged groups to promote rehabilitation equity.

ObjectiveTo address the challenges of unstructured classical Chinese expressions, nested entity relationships, and limited annotated data in famous traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) case records, this study proposes a joint relation extraction framework that integrates data augmentation and entity mapping, aiming to support the construction of TCM diagnostic knowledge graphs and clinical pattern mining. MethodsWe developed an annotation structure for entities and their relationships in TCM case texts and applied a data augmentation strategy by incorporating multiple ancient texts to expand the relation extraction dataset. A cascade binary tagging framework for relation triple extraction(CasRel) model for TCM semantics was designed, integrating a pre-trained bidirectional encoder representations from transformers(BERT) layer for classical TCM texts to enhance semantic representation, and using a head entity-relation-tail entity mapping mechanism to address entity nesting and relation overlapping issues. ResultsExperimental results showed that the CasRel model, combining data augmentation and entity mapping, outperformed the pipeline-based Bert-Radical-Lexicon(BRL)-bidirectional long short-term memory(BiLSTM)-Attention model. The overall precision, recall, and F1-score across 12 relation types reached 65.73%, 64.03%, and 64.87%, which represent improvements of 14.26%, 7.98%, and 11.21% compared to the BRL-BiLSTM-Attention model, respectively. Notably, the F1-score for tongue syndrome relations increased by 22.68%(69.32%), and the prescription-syndrome relations performed the best with the F1-score of 70.10%. ConclusionThe proposed framework significantly improves the semantic representation and complex dependencies in TCM texts, offering a reusable technical framework for structured mining of TCM case records. The constructed knowledge graph can support clinical syndrome differentiation, prescription optimization, and drug compatibility, providing a methodological reference for TCM artificial intelligence research.

Objective To analyze the status of willingness to participate in health science popularization (HSP) and its influencing factors among medical workers in Guangdong Province. Methods A total of 462 medical workers in Guangdong Province were recruited as the study subjects using a stratified convenience sampling method. The Questionnaire on Influencing Factors of Willingness to Participate in Health Science Popularization, developed by the research team, was used to investigate their willingness to participate in HSP and related variables, including previous communication experience, attitude, moral belief, descriptive norm, injunctive norm, self-efficacy, and social support. Hierarchical regression analysis was used to identify the influencing factors of willingness to participate in HSP. Results The median and 25th and 75th percentiles score of willingness to participate in HSP was 4.0 (3.8, 4.5), indicating a moderately high level of willingness. The HSP participation willingness score was positively correlated with scores for previous communication experience, attitude, moral belief, descriptive norm, injunctive norm, self-efficacy, and social support (Spearman correlation coefficients were 0.513, 0.384, 0.507, 0.533, 0.463, 0.556, and 0.435, respectively; all P<0.01). Hierarchical regression analysis showed that previous communication experience, moral belief, descriptive norm and self-efficacy positively predicted willingness to participate in HSP (all P<0.05). Medical workers in the non-Pearl River Delta region had lower willingness than those in the Pearl River Delta region for HSP participation (P<0.05). Conclusion There is still room for improving willingness for HSP participation among healthcare professionals in Guangdong Province. It is recommended to enhance self-efficacy through communication skills training, strengthen professional ethics education, foster a positive peer engagement atmosphere, and intensify resource support and capacity building for HSP in the non-Pearl River Delta region, to improve HSP participation willingness among medical workers in Guangdong Province.

ObjectiveTo determine the effects of tuina at "Weizhong (BL 40)" on mechanical pain hypersensitivity in a rat model of chronic dorsal root ganglion (CCD), and to preliminarily explore the anatomical distribution characteristics of neural afferents associated with "Weizhong (BL 40)" acupoint and their central projections. MethodsThirty SD rats were randomly assigned to a sham operation group, a model group, and a tuina group, with 10 rats in each group. In the model group and the tuina group, a chronic compression of CCD model was established by implanting stainless-steel rods into the right L4/5 and L3/4 intervertebral foramina. Rats in the sham operation group underwent surgical exposure only. From day 4 to day 28 after modeling, rats in the tuina group received daily manipulation at the right "Weizhong (BL 40)" (pressure: 5 N; frequency: 2 Hz; duration: 10 min/session). Rats in the sham operation group and the model group were subjected only to fixation. Mechanical withdrawal threshold (MWT) was assessed before modeling and on day 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 after modeling. On day 29 after modeling, pseudorabies virus (PRV), a retrograde trans-multisynaptic tracer, was injected into the right "Weizhong (BL 40)" acupoint in rats from the model group. After 120 h, rats were perfusion-fixed through the heart, and local tissues surrounding the "Weizhong (BL 40)" acupoint, corresponding lumbar dorsal root ganglia, lumbar spinal cord, and brain tissues were collected for fluorescence imaging of PRV-positive signals. ResultsCompared to the sham operation group, rats in the model group and the tuina group showed significantly reduced MWT on day 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 after modeling (P<0.05). Compared to the model group, rats in the tuina group exhibited significantly increased MWT on day 21 and 28 after modeling (P<0.05). Fluorescence imaging revealed PRV-positive signals in the deep fascial layer of local muscle tissue at "Weizhong (BL 40)", the L4 and L5 dorsal root ganglia, the dorsal horn and central canal region of the spinal cord, as well as the primary somatosensory cortex (S1), secondary motor cortex (M2), and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC). Among the examined cortical regions, M2 contained the largest number of PRV-positive neurons. ConclusionTuina at "Weizhong (BL 40)" alleviates mechanical hyperalgesia in rats with the chronic compression of CCD model. A traceable neuroanatomical connection exists between the linking deep tissues within "Weizhong (BL 40)" region and the corresponding lumbar dorsal root ganglia, the spinal dorsal horn, and specific cortical areas.

Objective:To evaluate the role and molecular mechanism of laminin β1(LAMB1)in cortical neurons in regulation of glutamate receptors.Methods:Recombinant lentivirus(LV-shLamb1)-mediated knockdown of LAMB1 expression in mouse primary cortical neurons was performed,followed by immunofluorescence staining and Western blot to detect changes in F-actin,glutamate receptor subtypes(AMPA receptors GluR1/GluR2,NMDA receptors NR1/NR2A),and ERK-related protein expression in cortical neurons.Results:LV-shLamb1 significantly inhibited LAMB1 expression in mouse cortical neurons.Concurrently,LV-shLamb1 markedly increased F-actin polymerization,as well as the expression of AMPA receptor subunits GluR1 and GluR2,and NMDA receptor subunits NR1 and NR2A.Further,Western blot detection showed that the phosphorylation level of ERK was significantly increased after LV-shLamb1 infec-tion.Conclusion:LAMB1 is expressed in cortical neurons.Suppression of LAMB1 expression in mouse cortical neu-rons activates the ERK pathway,which in turn promotes the polymerization of the cytoskeletal protein F-actin and the expression of glutamate receptors.This suggests that LAMB1 may regulate F-actin homeostasis and glutamate receptor levels through the ERK pathway,thereby playing a potentially important role in neuronal function.

This study aims to analyze the screening results and epidemiological characteristics of prostate cancer (PCa) among elderly males in the rural areas of Songjiang, Shanghai City, through the implementation of a preliminary prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening based on a community-linkage model, and to explore an effective screening approach. A retrospective observational study design was employed to collect data from residents who underwent PSA screening at Songjiang Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, in collaboration with multiple community health service centers in Songjiang District, Shanghai City, between June 2022 and June 2024, through free clinics and annual health examinations. Prostate biopsy was recommended for individuals with total PSA (tPSA) levels >10 ng/ml and those with 4 ng/ml≤tPSA≤10 ng/ml and abnormal free-to-total PSA (f/tPSA) ratios. Clinical characteristics of detected PCa patients were analyzed. Follow-up was conducted through phone calls and home visits by family doctors, coupled with enhanced health education. The results indicated that a total of 17 198 residents participated in the screening, among which 2 234 (12.99%) had tPSA levels between 4 ng/ml and 10 ng/ml, and 257 (1.49%) had tPSA levels >10 ng/ml. Ultimately, 417 residents underwent prostate biopsy, with 171 being diagnosed with PCa, yielding a positive biopsy rate of 41.00% and a PCa detection rate of 0.99%. The predominant pathological subtype among PCa patients was adenocarcinoma (168 cases, 98.24%). Of the 146 PCa patients who received treatment, the majority were classified as intermediate or high-risk (124 cases, 84.93%). Furthermore, with the optimization of the screening model, there was a significant increase in the proportion of subsequent outpatient visits. In conclusion, the community-linkage-based PSA screening model demonstrated high effectiveness in screening for PCa among elderly males in the rural areas of Songjiang, Shanghai City. Epidemiological findings revealed that PCa patients in this region are primarily composed of intermediate and high-risk groups, highlighting the need for intensified early screening and health education.
