ObjectiveTo investigate the present situation of input, output, outcome and impact of all registered community-based rehabilitation stations in Inner Mongolia in China, and analyze how the input predict the output, outcome and impact. MethodsFrom March 1st to April 30th, 2025, a questionnaire survey was conducted on all registered community-based rehabilitation stations in Inner Mongolia, covering four dimensions: input, output, outcome and impact. A total of 1 365 questionnaires were distributed. The input included four items: laws and policies, human resources, equipment and facilities, and rehabilitation information management. The output included two items: technical paths and benefits/effectiveness. The outcome included three items: coverage rates, rehabilitation interventions and functional results. The impact included two items: health and sustainability. Each item contained several questions, all of which were described in a positive way. Each question was scored from one to five. A lower score indicated that the situation of the community-based rehabilitation station was more in line with the content described in the question. Regression analysis was performed using the total score of each item of input dimension as independent variables, and the total scores of the output, outcome and impact dimensions as dependent variables. ResultsA total of 1 262 valid questionnaires were collected. The mean values of input, output, outcome and impact of community-based rehabilitation stations were 1.827 to 1.904, with coefficient of variation of 45.892% to 49.239%. The regression analysis showed that, rehabilitation information management, human resources, and laws and policies significantly predicted the output dimension (R² = 0.910, P < 0.001). Meanwhile, all four items in the input dimension predicted both the outcome (R² = 0.850, P < 0.001) and impact dimensions (R² = 0.833, P < 0.001). ConclusionInput, output, outcome and impact of the community-based rehabilitation stations in Inner Mongolia were generally in line with the content of the questions, although some imbalances were observed. Additionally, the input of community-based rehabilitation stations could significantly predict their output, outcome and impact.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of DSA-guided continuous radiofrequency ablation(CRF)and high-voltage,long-duration pulsed radiofrequency(HL-PRF)of ganglia impar in treating perineal pain in patients with rectal cancer.Methods This study is a single-center,randomized,active-controlled,double-blind trial that included 57 rectal cancer patients with perineal pain.At a 1∶1 ratio,the patients were randomly divided into CRF group(n=28)and HL-PRF group(n=29).The primary outcome indicators were the pain numerical rating scale(NRS)scores determined at the preoperative(T0),postoperative 24 h(T1),one week(T2),one month(T3),3 months(T4)and 6 months(T5)time-points.The secondary outcome indicators included the sitting time at T0,T1,T2,T3,T4 and T5 time-points,the 9-item patient health questionnaire(PHQ-9)score,the pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI)score,the postoperative oral morphine dosage,and the incidence of perineal numbness.Results Compared with the value at T0 time-point,in both groups the NRS score,PHQ-9 score and PSQI score at T1-T5 time-points were significantly decreased,while the sitting time become remarkably increased(all P＜0.05).No statistically significant differences in postoperative oral morphine dosage and incidence of perineal numbness existed between the two groups(both P＞0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in NRS score,PHQ-9 score and PSQI score,sitting time and oral morphine dosage at T1,T2,T3 time-points between CRF group and HL-PRF group(all P＞0.05),while at T4 and T5 time-points the NRS score,PHQ-9 score and PSQI score in HL-PRF group were significantly higher than those in CRF group(all P＜0.05),and the sitting time in HL-PRF group was strikingly lower than that in CRF group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Both CRF and HL-PRF of ganglion impar can alleviate perineal pain in patients with advanced rectal cancer and improve the quality of life of patients.CRF is superior to HL-PRF in the long-term efficacy.

Objective To investigate changes in gut microbiota during diabetic nephropathy(DN)pro-gression using 16S rDNA sequencing technology.Methods A total of 90 male SD rats were randomly divided into a normal control group(n=10,no modeling,regular feeding)and a model group(diabetes model).The diabetes model was established by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin(STZ)at 60 mg/kg,with regular feeding.According to the feeding time after modeling,the rats were divided into 2-week,4-week,8-week,and 12-week model groups(fed for 2,4,8,and 12 weeks after model establishment),with 20 rats in each group.Blood urea nitrogen(BUN)was measured using the urease method,serum creatinine(Scr)was deter-mined by the picric acid method,and ELISA was used to detect urinary kidney injury molecule-1(KIM-1)and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin(NGAL)levels.HE,PAS,and Masson staining were used to observe renal tissue pathological changes.Gut microbiota was collected from the rats,and 16S rDNA gene sequencing was used to analyze the gut microbiota to understand changes in the gut microbiota.Results Compared with the normal control group,the levels of KIM-1 and NGAL in urine of rats in all model groups were significantly increased(P<0.05).Pathological staining results showed that,compared with the normal control group,rats in all model groups exhibited diffuse thickening of the glomerular basement membrane and pathological chan-ges such as local necrosis and vacuolar degeneration in renal tubular epithelial cells.16S rDNA sequencing re-sults indicated that the abundance and structure of intestinal microbiota in rats of all model groups changed.Compared with the normal control group,in the 8-week and 12-week model groups,the relative abundance of Bacteroides and Akkermansia decreased,while the relative abundance of Roseburia,Alloprevotella,Prevotel-laceae-Ga6A1,and Ruminococcaceae UCG-005 increased.Compared with the normal control group,in the 12-week model group,the abundance of Akkermansia decreased and that of Prevotellaceae-NK3B31 increased.Conclusion The abundance and structure of gut microbial community in DN rats under conventional feeding at different time points change significantly,further confirming the"gut-kidney axis"theory.

A chemical investigation of secondary metabolites (SMs) from Aspergillus nidulans resulted in the identification of five novel dioxopiperazine (DKP)-diphenyl ether hybrids, designated as diphenylemestrins A-E (1-5). These compounds 1-5 represent the first known dimers combining DKP and diphenyl ether structures, with compound 4 featuring an uncommon dibenzofuran as the diphenyl ether component. The structural elucidation and determination of absolute stereochemistry were accomplished through spectroscopic analysis and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Notably, diphenylemestrin C (3) exhibited moderate cytostatic activity against NB4 cells, with a half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) value of 21.99 μmol·L^-1, and induced apoptosis at higher concentrations.

Objective:To investigate the age-specific distribution characteristics of plantar pressure parameters in healthy children aged 3-12 years.Methods:This cross-sectional study retrieved data from the hospital information system in January 2025 for 272 children aged 3-12 years who underwent physical examinations and voluntarily completed plantar pressure analysis at Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University, from July 2022 to December 2024. Demographic and clinical data, including anthropometric measurements (height and weight), flatfoot diagnosis and plantar pressure parameters (maximum pressure, time to maximum force, and contact time percentage in bilateral forefoot, midfoot, and hindfoot) were recorded. Participants were categorized into 3 age groups (3-6 years, 7-9 years, and 10-12 years) and were grouped by gender as well. Intergroup comparisons used one-way ANOVA or least-significant difference test or χ2 tests. Spearman′s rank correlation assessed the relationship between flatfoot prevalence and age. Results:Among 272 children (143 boys, 129 girls), age groups comprised 3-6 years (118 children, 64 boys and 54 girls), 7-9 years (96 children, 49 boys and 47 girls), and 10-12 years (58 children, 30 boys and 28 girls). Flatfoot prevalence was higher in boys than in that of girls (41.3% (59/143) vs. 28.7% (37/129), χ2=4.70, P=0.030), and negatively correlated with age ( r=-0.21, P<0.001). There all had statistically differences in the maximum pressure values of the bilateral forefoot and hindfoot among the 3 age groups (all P<0.001), and after pairwise comparison, those of the group of aged 3-6 years were all the lowest, and those of the group of aged 10-12 years were all the highest (all P<0.05). The maximum pressure values of bilateral midfoot in the group of aged 10-12 years were all higher than those of the other two groups (all P<0.001). There had no statistically differences in the time maximum force value of the bilateral forefoot among the 3 age groups (all P>0.05). The time maximum force values of bilateral midfoot in the group of aged 3-6 years were all lower than those of the other two groups (all P<0.05). There all had statistically differences in the time maximum force value of the bilateral hindfoot among the 3 age groups (all P<0.001), and after pairwise comparison, those of the group of aged 3-6 years were all the lowest, and those of the group of aged 10-12 years were all the highest (all P<0.05). There all had statistically differences in the contact time percentage values of the bilateral forefoot among the 3 age groups (all P<0.001), and after pairwise comparison, those of the group of aged 3-6 years were all the lowest, and those of the group of aged 10-12 years were all the highest (all P<0.05). There had no statistically differences in the contact time percentage values of the bilateral midfoot among the 3 age groups (all P>0.05). There all had statistically differences in the contact time percentage values of the bilateral hindfoot among the 3 age groups (all P<0.001), and after pairwise comparison, those of the group of aged 3-6 years were all lower than those of the other two groups (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Plantar pressure parameters exhibit distinct age-related patterns, reflecting the development of gait patterns and foot arch formation, which will be useful for monitoring physical growth and sports rehabilitation.

Objective:To explore the impact of body constitutional metabolic phenotype on the outcomes of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH) patients one year after onset.Methods:This study retrospectively studied the clinical data of 467 HICH patients admitted to the First People's Hospital of Lianyungang City from May 2021 to May 2023. Based on telephone follow-up after one year, the patients were categorized into two groups: a good outcome group (287 cases) and a poor outcome group (180 cases). According to the patients' body mass index (BMI) and metabolic status, the population was divided into six phenotypes: metabolically healthy with normal weight (MH-NW), metabolically healthy with overweight (MH-OW), metabolically healthy obesity (MHO), metabolically unhealthy normal weight (MU-NW), metabolically unhealthy with overweight (MU-OW), and metabolically unhealthy with obesity (MUO). The baseline data of the two groups were compared between two groups. The influencing factors of adverse outcomes in patients with HICH one year after onset were analyzed. Quantitative data that conforms to normal distribution were represented by xˉ±s, and independent sample t-test was used for comparison between two groups; The measurement data of skewed distribution was represented by M ( Q1, Q3), and Mann Whitney U test was used for comparison between the two groups; Count data was presented as an example (%), and comparison between groups was conducted using the χ2 test. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of poor prognosis in HICH patients one year after onset. Results:BMI, high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) levels and baseline Glasgow coma score(GCS) score in the poor outcome group were lower than those in the good outcome group [23.8 (22.4, 26.1) kg/m 2 vs. 25.0 (22.5, 27.4) kg/m 2, Z=-2.31, P=0.021; 1.1 (1.0,1.4) mmol/L vs. 1.3 (1.0,1.6) mmol/L, Z=-4.18, P<0.001; 14 (13,15) score vs. 10 (7,13) score, Z=-10.20, P<0.001]. The incidence of hemorrhage into the ventricle, cerebral hernia, pulmonary infection and hydrocephalus [43.3%(78/180) vs. 23.7% (68/287). 5.6%(10/180) vs. 0.7% (2/287), 48.9%(88/180) vs. 6.6% (19/287), 5.0%(9/180) vs. 1.4% (4/287), χ2=19.86, P<0.001, χ2=10.43, P<0.001, χ2=111.90, P<0.001, χ2=5.32, P=0.021], proportion of surgical removal of hematoma [41.1%(74/180) vs. 19.5% (56/287), χ2=25.69, P<0.001], systolic blood pressure [158 (141,173) mmHg vs. 152 (138,169) mmHg, Z=-2.18, P=0.029] and fasting blood glucose [6.9 (5.7,8.2) mmol/L vs. 6.3 (5.4,7.8) mmol/L, Z=-2.08, P=0.038] were higher than those in good outcome group. The metabolic phenotypes in the poor conversion group were as follows: 41 cases (22.8%) of MH-NW, 23 cases (12.8%) of MH-OW, 9 cases (5.0%) of MHO, 54 cases (30.0%) of MU-NW, 33 cases (18.3%) of MU-OW, and 20 cases (11.1%) of MUO. Conversely, the metabolic phenotypes in the good conversion group were as follows: 67 cases (23.3%) of MH-NW, 77 cases (26.8%) of MH-OW, 31 cases (10.8%) of MHO, 40 cases (13.9%) of MU-NW, 46 cases (16.0%) of MU-OW, and 26 cases (9.1%) of MUO. Regarding metabolic types, the poor conversion group comprised 73 healthy cases (40.6%) and 107 unhealthy cases (59.4%), whereas the good conversion group had 177 healthy cases (61.7%) and 110 unhealthy cases (38.3%). In terms of body mass, the poor conversion group included 94 cases (52.2%) of normal weight, 57 cases (31.7%) of overweight, and 29 cases (16.1%) of obesity. Conversely, the good conversion group had 108 cases (37.6%) of normal weight, 122 cases (42.5%) of overweight, and 57 cases (19.9%) of obesity.There were statistically significant differences in the composition ratios of physical metabolic phenotype, metabolic type, and xBMI type between the two groups of patients ( χ2=29.56, P<0.001, χ2=19.83, P<0.001, χ2=9.68, P=0.008). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for other risk factors related to the prognosis of HICH, HDL-C ( OR=0.30, 95% CI: 0.12-0.75, P=0.010), admission GCS score ( OR=0.71, 95% CI:0.64-0.79, P<0.001), MH-OW ( OR=0.38, 95% CI: 0.17-0.82, P=0.013) and MHO ( OR=0.30, 95% CI:0.09-0.99, P=0.048) were all protective factors for adverse outcomes in patients with HICH 1 year after the onset of the disease, and hemorrhage into the ventricle ( OR=2.46, 95% CI:1.41-4.32, P=0.002) and pulmonary infection ( OR=9.13, 95% CI: 4.78- 17.44, P<0.001) were risk factors for adverse outcomes. Conclusions:MH-OW and MHO are beneficial to the prognosis of HICH patients 1 year after the onset of HICH. The secondary prevention of HICH patients should pay attention to the BMI level and comprehensive metabolic status of the patients.

Objective:To explore the characteristics of systemic immune microenvironment during the progression of dextran sulfate sodium(DSS)-induced acute ulcerative colitis(UC)induced in mice by Mass cytometry(CyTOF).Methods:Male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control group and model group.The control group was given normal drinking water for 15 d.The mouse in the model group were given 5%DSS in drinking water,which was changed to normal drinking water after 7 days.In the model group,peripheral blood was collected on days 4,9 and 15,respectively.CyTOF was used to detect the expressions of 33 immune cell markers and changes in cell subsets in peripheral blood of mice,and the characteristics of systemic immune microenvironment in mice with acute UC were analyzed.Results:The cluster analysis of 33 kinds of immune cell markers showed that CD45+cells in peripheral blood of mice with DSS induced acute UC were divided into 23 fine subgroups,among which the proportions of B cell subgroup,T cell subgroup and neutrophil subgroup showed significant changes.A further dimensional reduction cluster analysis of T cell subsets found significant differences in the composition and proportion of the 10 identified T cell subsets.Conclusion:The systemic immune micro-environment map of mice with acute UC induced by DSS has been successfully constructed,and heterogeneity has been found in the systemic immune microenvironment of mice with acute UC.The changes and activation degree of T cell subpopulations are closely re-lated to disease progression and inflammation level.The results of this study provide theoretical basis for assisting the diagnosis,moni-toring the risk,progression,treatment and prognosis of acute UC.

Background:To compare the efficacy and safety of monthly administrations of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists LY01005 and Zoladex ? in Chinese patients with premenopausal breast cancer. Methods:From October 2020 to November 2021, 188 premenopausal breast cancer patients were enrolled in 34 hospitals and randomized 1:1 to receive either LY01005 or Zoladex ? every 28 days for a total of three injections. All patients concomitantly received oral tamoxifen (TAM). The primary efficacy endpoint was cumulative probability of maintaining menopausal level [oestradiol (E2) ≤30 pg/ml] from day 29 to day 85. The second efficacy endpoint included changes in E2, luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) compared with the baseline. Pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and safety were analyzed. The study also evaluated the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics of LY01005. Results:A total of 188 patients were randomised and 187 patients received either LY01005 or Zoladex ?. Cumulative probabilities of maintaining menopausal level (E2≤30 pg/ml) from day 29 to day 85 were 93.1% for LY01005 and 86.3% for Zoladex ?. The between-group difference was 6.8% (95% CI: -2.3%, 15.9%) and primary efficacy in the LY01005 group was not inferior to that in the Zoladex ? group. Changes in E2, LH, and FSH levels compared with the baseline were equivalent between the two groups (E2: 89.34% to 90.23% vs. 82.11% to 85.02%; LH: 88.89% to 95.52% vs. 89.70% to 97.02%; FSH: 75.36% to 80.85% vs.73.07% to 80.24%, respectively). After three consecutive doses of LY01005, the LH and FSH levels of the subjects showed a transient increase after the first dose, reached a peak on the second day and then started to decrease. The LH and FSH reached a lower level and remained at or below that level until the 85th day. Both treatments were well-tolerated. Conclusion:LY01005 is as effective as Zoladex ? in suppressing E2 to menopausal levels in Chinese patients with premenopausal breast cancer, with a similar safety profile.

Objective:To investigate the role of hypoxia-induced angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4) expression in experimental choroidal neovascularization (CNV).Methods:Twenty-seven SPF male C57BL/6J mice aged 6-8 weeks were selected.Eighteen of the mice were used to establish a laser-induced CNV model.On the 7th day after laser photocoagulation, success of the modeling was verified using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA). The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)-choroid-sclera complex was extracted for protein analysis before modeling and on the 3rd and 7th days after modeling.The relative expression levels of ANGPTL4 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) at different time points were detected by Western blot.Additionally, frozen sections of mouse eyeballs on day 7 after modeling were prepared and the expression and cellular localization of ANGPTL4 were observed by immunofluorescence.RF/6A cells, derived from monkey choroidal retinal endothelial cells, were treated with 200 μmol/L cobalt chloride (CoCl 2) in the culture medium for 0, 3, 6, and 12 hours.RF/6A cells were also divided into a normal control group, a hypoxia group, and a hypoxia+ si-ANGPTL4 group, and cells were transfected with a plasmid containing si-ANGPTL4 sequence.The relative expression levels of ANGPTL4 and VEGF proteins in each group were detected by Western blot, and the differences in tube formation among the groups were observed by tube formation assay.A total of 27 male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into CNV group, CNV+ si-NC group, and CNV+ si-ANGPTL4 group, with 9 mice in each group.In the CNV+ si-NC and CNV+ si-ANGPTL4 groups, si-NC and si-ANGPTL4 were respectively injected into the vitreous cavity after the CNV model was established.Fluorescence leakage in mice was observed by FFA, and the length, thickness and area of CNV was observed using OCTA and immunofluorescence staining of choroidal flat mounts.The relative expression levels of ANGPTL4 and VEGF proteins in each group were detected by Western blot.All animal experiments were conducted in accordance with ARVO Statement on the Use of Animals in Ophthalmic and Vision Research.The experimental protocol was approved by the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University (No.S20220822-902). Results:Before modeling and on the 3rd and 7th days after modeling, the relative expression levels of ANGPTL4 protein were 1.00±0.00, 1.58±0.05, and 1.90±0.04, respectively, and the relative expression levels of VEGF protein were 1.00±0.00, 1.31±0.05, and 1.84±0.04, respectively, with statistically significant overall differences ( F=528.934, 390.424, both P<0.05). Among them, on the 3rd and 7th days after modeling, the relative expression levels of ANGPTL4 and VEGF proteins were significantly higher in CNV group than in the control group (all P<0.05). The tissues of each layer of the retina were clear in the control group, while neovascularization could be seen growing under the retinal neuroepithelial layer in the CNV group.Compared with the control group, ANGPTL4 expression was significantly increased and colocalized with vascular endothelial cells in the CNV group.After CoCl 2 treatment of RF/6A cells for 3, 6, and 12 hours, the relative expression levels of ANGPTL4 and VEGF proteins were higher than at 0 hour, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the relative ANGPTL4 protein expression was increased in the hypoxia group and significantly decreased in the hypoxia+ si-ANGPTL4 group, showing statistically significant differences (both P<0.05). The number of tube formations in the control group, hypoxia group, and hypoxia+ si-ANGPTL4 group were 12.67±1.53, 19.64±1.56, and 17.01±1.04, respectively, with a statistically significant overall difference ( F=33.091, P<0.01). The number of tube formations increased in the hypoxia group and hypoxia+ si-ANGPTL4 group compared with the control group, and the number of tube formations decreased in the hypoxia+ si-ANGPTL4 group compared with the hypoxia group, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). Relative expression levels of ANGPTL4 and VEGF proteins were significantly lower in the CNV+ si-ANGPTL4 group than those in the CNV group (both P<0.05). The CNV area was significantly lower in the CNV+ si-ANGPTL4 group than in the CNV group and CNV+ si-NC group (both P<0.05). Conclusions:Hypoxia-induced ANGPTL4 promotes experimental CNV formation in vivo and in vitro.Inhibiting ANGPTL4 can reduce CNV formation and leakage.

Objective Utilizing the International Classification of Functioning,Disability and Health(ICF)framework and Interna-tional Classification of Diseases,the 11th Revision(ICD-11)system,alongside evidence from World Health Or-ganization(WHO)global reports and technical reports from relevant countries,this study systematically exam-ines the definitions,classifications,grading,and assessment methods for visual,hearing,speech,physical,intel-lectual,and mental(psychiatric)disabilities.Methods Employing the ICF's biopsychosocial model,classification,and coding system and ICD-11,and referencing WHO global reports and national technical reports,this study systematically investigated the definitions,classifi-cations,grading and assessment approaches for six prevalent disabilities:visual,hearing,speech,physical,intel-lectual and mental.Results The ICF and ICD-11model and classification system offered a robust framework for defining,classifying,grad-ing and assessing disabilities.Disability definitions should address body function impairments,activity limita-tions,participation restrictions and environmental factors.The definitions,classifications and grading of visual,hearing,speech,physical,intellectual and mental disabilities aligned with ICF categories for body functions and structures,activities and participation and categories of ICD-11.Standardized tools like the WHO Disability As-sessment Schedule(WHODAS 2.0)effectively measured overall activity and participation levels.Conclusion Anchored in the ICF and ICD-11 framework,disabilities are defined,classified,graded and assessed across body functions and structure,activities and participation,and environmental factors.WHODAS 2.0 serves as a universal tool for assessing activities and participation,enabling both comprehensive functional evaluations and the conversion of results from other assessment tools.By analyzing WHO global reports and technical documents in some countries within the ICF and ICD-11 classifications framework,this study highlights global advance-ments in disability definitions,classifications,grading and assessments.Variations in disability statistics stem from differing definitions,diagnostic criteria and assessments.Disability service eligibility criteria should be tai-lored to the needs of recipients and the capacity of providers.
