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.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis （IPF） is a chronic and fibrotic lethal interstitial lung disease with poor prognosis. It is mainly treated by organ transplantation and administration of chemical drugs， which have poor efficacy and induce side effects， failing to meet the clinical needs. Therefore， it is urgent to develop more safe and effective drugs to treat IPF. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has garnered increasing attention in recent years in the treatment of IPF due to its unique advantages. Increasing studies have shown that TCM has remarkable therapeutic effects on IPF and thus demonstrate broad application prospects. Modern medical research shows that the pathogenesis of IPF can be discussed from inflammation （macrophage polarization）， oxidative stress， epithelial-mesenchymal transition （EMT）， autophagy inhibition and other related signaling pathways， while few studies systematically explain the relationship between the signaling pathways and TCM theory. According to the theory of TCM， lung collateral obstruction is the basic pathogenesis of IPF. Therefore， according to the principle of dredging and replenishing lung collaterals， IPF can be treated with the methods of reinforcing healthy qi and eliminating pathogen， replenishing qi and activating blood， and detoxifying and dredging collaterals， which demonstrate definite curative effect and can effectively relieve clinical symptoms， restore the lung function and blood oxygen partial pressure， improve the quality of life of patients， and reduce adverse reactions. Experimental studies have found that dredging and replenishing lung collaterals have significant effects on IPF inflammation （macrophage polarization）， oxidative stress， EMT， autophagy inhibition and other signaling pathways. Therefore， from the perspective of impediment， this article reviews pathogenesis of IPF， the research progress in TCM treatment of IPF， and the treatment of IPF from active components， single herbs， and compound prescriptions of TCM， with the aim of revealing the scientific connotation of the treatment of IPF from impediment and providing a new theoretical basis for enriching the TCM methods of treating IPF.

[摘 要] 树突状细胞（DC）是连接固有免疫与适应性免疫的核心枢纽，其功能稳态是介导肿瘤免疫监视的关键。然而，肿瘤微环境（TME）通过营养竞争及免疫抑制代谢产物的累积，驱动DC发生代谢重编程，进而诱导免疫应答功能缺陷。本文系统综述了TME中DC各亚型在三大代谢层面的重塑机制：糖代谢层面，高乳酸微环境通过GPR81信号抑制MHC-Ⅱ类分子表达，削弱传统树突状细胞（cDC）的抗原提呈能力；脂代谢层面，Wnt5a-β-catenin-PPARγ-CPT1A轴介导的脂肪酸氧化促进cDC向免疫抑制表型极化；氨基酸代谢层面，Arg1-IDO1通路的级联激活诱导DC获得耐受表型。针对上述代谢异常，当前干预策略已由单一靶点调控拓展至多模式联合，包括基于脂质纳米颗粒的原位疫苗与mRNA递送系统、代谢-免疫协同阻断，以及代谢状态优化的DC疫苗等。因此，深化对DC代谢检查点的认知，并靶向干预关键代谢检查点，不仅有望逆转免疫抑制微环境、克服治疗耐药，更为开发新一代代谢-免疫联合疗法提供了重要的科学依据与转化策略。

[摘 要] 目的：探究西贝素通过调控Cyclin D1介导的CDK4/6-Rb-E2F1信号轴对人胃腺癌细胞（AGS）的增殖抑制效果及其分子机制。方法：利用不同浓度的西贝素处理AGS和人正常胃黏膜上皮细胞（GES-1），通过CCK-8检测和结晶紫染色实验确定西贝素的最适抑制剂量和作用时间；采用划痕实验和Transwell迁移实验与侵袭实验检测西贝素对AGS细胞迁移与侵袭能力的影响；利用流式细胞术和WB检测西贝素对AGS细胞周期及细胞周期相关蛋白表达的影响；利用质粒过表达Cyclin D1，并通过WB检测、结晶紫染色实验、划痕实验和Transwell迁移实验与侵袭实验进一步明确西贝素的抑制机制；构建AGS移植瘤裸鼠模型，采用免疫荧光染色法和免疫组化检测Cyclin D1、CDK4、CDK6、Rb、p-Rb、E2F1的表达水平。结果：与对照组相比，西贝素药物浓度为100 μg/mL时，对GES-1细胞的增殖无影响（P > 0.05），但能够显著性抑制AGS细胞增殖、迁移和侵袭能力（P < 0.01），并诱导AGS细胞周期G0/G1期阻滞，显著抑制周期相关蛋白Cyclin D1、CDK4、CDK6、p-Rb、E2F1的表达水平（P < 0.05或P < 0.01）；Cyclin D1过表达能够显著降低西贝素对AGS细胞的抑制效果（P < 0.05或P < 0.01）；荷瘤裸鼠实验结果显示，西贝素能够抑制AGS移植瘤的增殖，影响肿瘤组织中Cyclin D1、CDK4、CDK6、p-Rb、E2F1的表达（P < 0.01）。结论：西贝素可能通过下调Cyclin D1介导的CDK4/6-Rb-E2F1信号轴活化抑制AGS增殖。

Background: High-mobility group box protein 1 (HMGB1) is a chromatin-binding protein involved in arthritis, ischemia, sepsis, atherosclerosis, neurodegenerative disorders, meningitis, and cancer. HMGB1 exhibits dual roles in cancer, acting as either a tumor suppressor or oncoprotein depending on context. Objective: This research aimed to elucidate HMGB1’s functional significance in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). Methods: We overexpressed HMGB1 in cSCC cell lines using recombinant adenovirus and examined its effects on cell proliferation, colony formation, and cell migration. Results: Immunohistochemical analysis revealed elevated HMGB1 expression levels in cSCC tissue relative to normal epidermis. To assess the influence of HMGB1, we employed recombinant adenoviruses expressing HMGB1 to transduce SCC cell lines (SCC12 and SCC13). Enhanced HMGB1 expression significantly promoted cellular proliferation and colony formation capacity.Notably, HMGB1 overexpression elevated the levels of proliferation regulators, including P63, SOX2, CDK4 and CDK6. Furthermore, HMGB1 overexpression substantially enhanced tumor invasiveness, accompanied by upregulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) biomarkers. Mechanistically, overexpression of HMGB1 enhanced transforming growth factor-β signaling by increasing phosphorylation of SMAD2/3, the key mediators of EMT. Conclusion These data imply that HMGB1 acts as a tumor-promoting factor in cSCC.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Shexiang Tongxin Dropping Pill (STDP) in treating stable angina patients with phlegm-heat and blood-stasis syndrome by exercise duration and metabolic equivalents. METHODS: This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial enrolled stable angina patients with phlegm-heat and blood-stasis syndrome from 22 hospitals. They were randomized 1:1 to STDP (35 mg/pill, 6 pills per day) or placebo for 56 days. The primary outcome was the exercise duration and metabolic equivalents (METs) assessed by the standard Bruce exercise treadmill test after 56 days of treatment. The secondary outcomes included the total angina symptom score, Chinese medicine (CM) symptom scores, Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) scores, changes in ST-T on electrocardiogram and adverse events (AEs). RESULTS: This trial enrolled 309 patients, including 155 and 154 in the STDP and placebo groups, respectively. STDP significantly prolonged exercise duration with an increase of 51.0 s, compared to a decrease of 12.0 s with placebo (change rate: -11.1% vs. 3.2%, P<0.01). The increase in METs was significantly greater in the STDP group than in the placebo group (change: -0.4 vs. 0.0, change rate: -5.0% vs. 0.0%, P<0.01). The improvement of total angina symptom scores (25.0% vs. 0.0%), CM symptom scores (38.7% vs. 11.8%), reduction of nitroglycerin consumption (100.0% vs. 11.3%), and all domains of SAQ, were significantly greater with STDP than placebo (all P<0.01). The changes in Q-T intervals at 28 and 56 days from baseline were similar between the two groups (both P>0.05). Twenty-five participants (16.3%) with STDP and 16 (10.5%) with placebo experienced AEs (P=0.131), with no serious AEs observed. CONCLUSION STDP could improve exercise tolerance in patients with stable angina and phlegm-heat and blood stasis syndrome, with a favorable safety profile. (Registration No. ChiCTR-IPR-15006020).
