ObjectiveTo construct an actor-network for integrating physical activity into rehabilitation services based on the World Health Organization Rehabilitation in Health Service System framework and actor-network theory (ANT). MethodsContent analysis was employed using the six building blocks of health service systems as the theoretical framework. Actors related to rehabilitation services were extracted and categorized into a rehabilitation actor pool, while a physical activity actor pool was formed based on four major physical activity scenarios. Actors from both pools were integrated, deduplicated and classified to form a final list of integrated actors. Using ANT, the construction process of the actor network integrating physical activity into rehabilitation was analyzed through the four stages of translation: problematization, interessment, enrollment and mobilization. ResultsA dynamic integration network was constructed, comprising human actors (patients, rehabilitation professionals, researchers, sports coaches, government departments, medical institutions, community organizations and industry media, etc.) and non-human actors (assistive devices, sports infrastructure, smart equipment, information systems, online exercise guidance systems, laws and regulations, strategic documents, and exercise prescriptions, etc.). The study identified maximizing rehabilitation outcomes as the mandatory passage point and elaborated on the critical role of government departments as focal actors in coordinating various stakeholders. ConclusionThe integration of physical activity into rehabilitation services is a dynamic network constructed by diverse actors through a process of translation. ANT provides an operational theoretical framework for cross-departmental governance of rehabilitation policies in China, promotes the spatial expansion of the rehabilitation field, and drives its transformation toward a networked and ecological system. The government needs to play a leading role in facilitating role reconstruction and synergy among heterogeneous actors in both the sports and rehabilitation sectors through mechanism design, to create a bidirectional empowerment mechanism that fosters mutual progress and ensures the sustainable development of integrated services.

Objective To explore the mechanism of IgA nephropathy(IgAN)caused by multi-glycosides of Tripterygium wilfordii(GTW)through the regulation of Silent information regulatory factor 1(SIRT 1)/nuclear transcription factor E2-related factor 2(Nrf 2)/antioxidant enzyme heme oxygenase 1(HO-1)signaling pathway.Methods Forty-five male SD rats were selected and randomly divided into two groups:the blank group(n=9)and the model group(n=36).In addition to the blank group,the BSA+CCl4+LPS group was used.At the end of 12 weeks,two rats were randomly selected for verification,and the model was successfully established.The 34 model rats were randomly divided into 3 groups:the model group(n=10),prednisone group(n=12),and GTW group(n=12).Urine,blood and kidney tissues were harvested 4 weeks after drug administration.Urinary erythrocyte number,24-h urinary protein quantification(24 h-UTP),alanine transaminase(ALT),serum albumin(ALB),urea nitrogen(BUN),and blood creatinine(SCr)were performed for each group;the protein expression of SIRT1,Nrf2,HO-1 and PINK1 was detected by Western blotting analysis;real-time polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)detection of SIRT1,Nrf2,HO-1 and PINK1 mRNA expression in rat kidney tissue;and detection of IgA deposition in the renal mesangial area by immunofluorescence.Kidney histopathological changes were observed in all the rats by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining.Results The results compared with those in the blank group,the urinary red blood cell count and 24 h-UTP,ALT,BUN,and SCr levels were significantly greater(P<0.01);The ALB level was significantly lower(P<0.01);renal tissue SIRT1,Nrf2,HO-1,PINK1 protein and mRNA expression were significantly lower(P<0.01);IgA deposition in the mesentery was obvious;renal pathological damage was severe;and the difference was statistically significant. Compared with those in the model group,urinary red blood cell counts and 24 h-UTP,ALT,BUN,and SCr levels in the prednisone and GTW groups were significantly lower (P<0.01);ALB levels were significantly greater (P<0.01);SIRT1,Nrf2,HO-1,PINK1 protein and mRNA expression were significantly greater (P<0.01);IgA deposition in the mesangial area was reduced,and renal pathology was improved,with statistically significant difference. Conclusions GTW may alleviate oxidative stress injury,protect renal function,and improve renal injury by activating the SIRT 1/Nrf 2/HO-1 signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between the neutrophil- to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), C-reactive protein (CRP), and the efficacy of immunotherapy in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods:The clinical data of 47 patients with NSCLC who received immunotherapy at The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Science and Technology from December 2021 to May 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Based on the duration of immunotherapy, patients with a duration of more than 1 year were classified as having a good immune response, while those with a duration of less than 1 year were classified as having a poor immune response. The clinical pathological characteristics of patients with good and poor immune responses were compared. The cutoff values for NLR, LMR, and CRP were calculated using receiver operating characteristic curves, and patients were grouped based on these cutoff values. The predictive probabilities of different combinations were compared. Univariate and multivariate Cox analyses were performed to identify factors affecting patient survival.Results:Significant differences were observed in the distribution of therapy lines (1 st-line vs. 2 nd-line treatment), NLR, LMR, and CRP levels between patients with good immune response and those with poor immune responses (all P < 0.05). The area under the curve (AUC) for NLR was 0.763 [95% CI: (0.608, 0.918)], the AUC for LMR was 0.715 [95% CI: (0.544, 0.875)], and the AUC for CRP was 0.697 [95% CI: (0.540, 0.853)]. To assess the diagnostic value of combined indicators in predicting the efficacy of immunotherapy in NSCLC, different indicators were combined, resulting in the variables NLR + LMR, NLR + CRP, LMR + CRP, and NLR + LMR + CRP. Receiver Operating Characteristic curves were plotted based on the probabilities. The combination of NLR + LMR + CRP showed the best predictive performance, with an AUC of 0.897 [95% CI: (0.806, 0.988)]. Univariate and multivariate Cox analyses indicated that LMR [ HR: 0.428; 95% CI: (0.213, 0.858), P = 0.017] and the distribution of treatment lines [ HR: 1.815; 95% CI: (1.005, 3.642), P = 0.033] were important independent prognostic factors for progression-free survival. Conclusions:NLR, LMR, and CRP are correlated with immunotherapy efficacy in patients with NSCLC and provide predictive value. LMR and treatment line are independent prognostic factors for progression-free survival.

Objective:To explore the inhibitory effect of protocatechuic acid (PCA) on the growth of ovarian cancer cell line A2780 and its mechanism.Methods:A2780 cells were cultured in vitro and randomly divided into a control group and protocatechuic acid-treated groups with concentrations of 5 μM and 10 μM. Cell proliferation was detected using the MTT assay; Cell migration ability was assessed through wound healing experiments; Cell cycle and apoptosis were analyzed using flow cytometry; Protein expression of apoptosis-related proteins was examined using Western blot.Results:Compared with the control group, the absorbance of the protocatechuic acid groups (5 μM, 10 μM) decreased after 48 hours, and protocatechuic acid significantly inhibited cell proliferation ( P<0.05) . In the 5 μM protocatechuic acid treatment group, the proportion of cells in the G2/M phase increased to 25.26%, and in the 10 μM treatment group, the proportion of cells in the G2/M phase increased to 24.99%. Protocatechuic acid groups could arrest the cell cycle of the human ovarian cancer cell line A2780 at the G2/M phase. Protocatechuic acid groups could also promote the increase of early and late apoptosis rates of A2780 cells, leading to the upregulation of the expression levels of related apoptotic proteins CASPASE-3 and Bax, while the expression level of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl2 was downregulated. Conclusions:Protocatechuic acid can inhibit proliferation and migration of A2780 ovarian cancer cells, arrest the cell cycle of A2780 cells, and promote apoptosis. The mechanism of action may be related to the upregulation of apoptosis-related proteins BAX and caspase3.

Protrusive facial deformities, characterized by the forward displacement of the teeth and/or jaws beyond the normal range, affect a considerable portion of the population. The manifestations and morphological mechanisms of protrusive facial deformities are complex and diverse, requiring orthodontists to possess a high level of theoretical knowledge and practical experience in the relevant orthodontic field. To further optimize the correction of protrusive facial deformities, this consensus proposes that the morphological mechanisms and diagnosis of protrusive facial deformities should be analyzed and judged from multiple dimensions and factors to accurately formulate treatment plans. It emphasizes the use of orthodontic strategies, including jaw growth modification, tooth extraction or non-extraction for anterior teeth retraction, and maxillofacial vertical control. These strategies aim to reduce anterior teeth and lip protrusion, increase chin prominence, harmonize nasolabial and chin-lip relationships, and improve the facial profile of patients with protrusive facial deformities. For severe skeletal protrusive facial deformities, orthodontic-orthognathic combined treatment may be suggested. This consensus summarizes the theoretical knowledge and clinical experience of numerous renowned oral experts nationwide, offering reference strategies for the correction of protrusive facial deformities.

The prevalence of Class III malocclusion varies among different countries and regions. The populations from Southeast Asian countries (Chinese and Malaysian) showed the highest prevalence rate of 15.8%, which can seriously affect oral function, facial appearance, and mental health. As anterior crossbite tends to worsen with growth, early orthodontic treatment can harness growth potential to normalize maxillofacial development or reduce skeletal malformation severity, thereby reducing the difficulty and shortening the treatment cycle of later-stage treatment. This is beneficial for the physical and mental growth of children. Therefore, early orthodontic treatment for Class III malocclusion is particularly important. Determining the optimal timing for early orthodontic treatment requires a comprehensive assessment of clinical manifestations, dental age, and skeletal age, and can lead to better results with less effort. Currently, standardized treatment guidelines for early orthodontic treatment of Class III malocclusion are lacking. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the etiology, clinical manifestations, classification, and early orthodontic techniques for Class III malocclusion, along with systematic discussions on selecting early treatment plans. The purpose of this expert consensus is to standardize clinical practices and improve the treatment outcomes of Class III malocclusion through early orthodontic treatment.

Patients with periodontal disease often require combined periodontal-orthodontic interventions to restore periodontal health, function, and aesthetics, ensuring both patient satisfaction and long-term stability. Managing these patients involving orthodontic tooth movement can be particularly challenging due to compromised periodontal soft and hard tissues, especially in severe cases. Therefore, close collaboration between orthodontists and periodontists for comprehensive diagnosis and sequential treatment, along with diligent patient compliance throughout the entire process, is crucial for achieving favorable treatment outcomes. Moreover, long-term orthodontic retention and periodontal follow-up are essential to sustain treatment success. This expert consensus, informed by the latest clinical research and practical experience, addresses clinical considerations for orthodontic treatment of periodontal patients, delineating indications, objectives, procedures, and principles with the aim of providing clear and practical guidance for clinical practitioners.
