Electromagnetic fields can regulate the fundamental biological processes involved in bone remodeling. As a non-invasive physical therapy, electromagnetic fields with specific parameters have demonstrated therapeutic effects on bone remodeling diseases, such as fractures and osteoporosis. Electromagnetic fields can be generated by the movement of charged particles or induced by varying currents. Based on whether the strength and direction of the electric field change over time, electromagnetic fields can be classified into static and time-varying fields. The treatment of bone remodeling diseases with static magnetic fields primarily focuses on fractures, often using magnetic splints to immobilize the fracture site while studying the effects of static magnetic fields on bone healing. However, there has been relatively little research on the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis using static magnetic fields. Pulsed electromagnetic fields, a type of time-varying field, have been widely used in clinical studies for treating fractures, osteoporosis, and non-union. However, current clinical applications are limited to low-frequency, and research on the relationship between frequency and biological effects remains insufficient. We believe that different types of electromagnetic fields acting on bone can induce various “secondary physical quantities”, such as magnetism, force, electricity, acoustics, and thermal energy, which can stimulate bone cells either individually or simultaneously. Bone cells possess specific electromagnetic properties, and in a static magnetic field, the presence of a magnetic field gradient can exert a certain magnetism on the bone tissue, leading to observable effects. In a time-varying magnetic field, the charged particles within the bone experience varying Lorentz forces, causing vibrations and generating acoustic effects. Additionally, as the frequency of the time-varying field increases, induced currents or potentials can be generated within the bone, leading to electrical effects. When the frequency and power exceed a certain threshold, electromagnetic energy can be converted into thermal energy, producing thermal effects. In summary, external electromagnetic fields with different characteristics can generate multiple physical quantities within biological tissues, such as magnetic, electric, mechanical, acoustic, and thermal effects. These physical quantities may also interact and couple with each other, stimulating the biological tissues in a combined or composite manner, thereby producing biological effects. This understanding is key to elucidating the electromagnetic mechanisms of how electromagnetic fields influence biological tissues. In the study of electromagnetic fields for bone remodeling diseases, attention should be paid to the biological effects of bone remodeling under different electromagnetic wave characteristics. This includes exploring innovative electromagnetic source technologies applicable to bone remodeling, identifying safe and effective electromagnetic field parameters, and combining basic research with technological invention to develop scientifically grounded, advanced key technologies for innovative electromagnetic treatment devices targeting bone remodeling diseases. In conclusion, electromagnetic fields and multiple physical factors have the potential to prevent and treat bone remodeling diseases, and have significant application prospects.

Background: and Purpose Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) following endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is a severe complication associated with adverse functional outcomes and increased mortality rates. Currently, a reliable predictive model for sICH risk after EVT is lacking. Methods: This study used data from patients aged ≥20 years who underwent EVT for anterior circulation stroke from the nationwide Taiwan Registry of Endovascular Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke (TREAT-AIS). A predictive model including factors associated with an increased risk of sICH after EVT was developed to differentiate between patients with and without sICH. This model was compared existing predictive models using nationwide registry data to evaluate its relative performance. Results: Of the 2,507 identified patients, 158 developed sICH after EVT. Factors such as diastolic blood pressure, Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score, platelet count, glucose level, collateral score, and successful reperfusion were associated with the risk of sICH after EVT. The TREAT-AIS score demonstrated acceptable predictive accuracy (area under the curve [AUC]=0.694), with higher scores being associated with an increased risk of sICH (odds ratio=2.01 per score increase, 95% confidence interval=1.64–2.45, P<0.001). The discriminatory capacity of the score was similar in patients with symptom onset beyond 6 hours (AUC=0.705). Compared to existing models, the TREAT-AIS score consistently exhibited superior predictive accuracy, although this difference was marginal. Conclusions The TREAT-AIS score outperformed existing models, and demonstrated an acceptable discriminatory capacity for distinguishing patients according to sICH risk levels. However, the differences between models were only marginal. Further research incorporating periprocedural and postprocedural factors is required to improve the predictive accuracy.

OBJECTIVE To explore the significance of pharmaceutical care through the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with exogenous insulin autoimmune syndrome （EIAS）， combined with the analysis of literature reports. METHODS Clinical pharmacist participated in the diagnosis and treatment process of one case of EIAS. Based on the characteristics of the patient’s condition， the pharmacist provided medication suggestions and formulated pharmaceutical monitoring measures. At the same time， the pharmacist searched for relevant literature on insulin autoimmune syndrome （IAS） and EIAS， extracted data （gender， age， occurrence time， laboratory tests， clinical symptoms， intervention and outcome）， and conducted analysis. RESULTS Based on the patient’s medication information in the past 3 years， clinical pharmacist determined that the EIAS was likely caused by insulin aspartate 30. The clinician adopted the clinical pharmacist’s suggestion to discontinue insulin and switch to oral hypoglycemic drugs. The patient improved after treatment. The literature analysis showed that among the 257 patients with IAS reported， 212 cases were caused by drugs； among them， 23 cases were caused by lipoic acid， and 56 cases were caused by exogenous insulin. There were no significant differences in age， glycosylated hemoglobin， and body mass index between the two groups. The lowest blood glucose level in the lipoic acid group was significantly lower than that in the exogenous insulin group （P＜0.05）. The proportion of females and the proportion of fasting insulin ≥ 1 000 μU/mL were significantly higher in the lipoic acid group than in the exogenous insulin group （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Compared with EIAS， lipoic acid-induced IAS usually causes more severe hypoglycemia， and the fasting insulin level is usually higher than 1 000 μU/mL， which is more common in female patients. The participation of clinical pharmacists in the diagnosis and treatment of EIAS can help improve the diagnosis and treatment level of similar rare diseases and ensure the safety of patients’ medication.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and mechanism of canagliflozin (Cana) in the treatment of high glucose-induced human podocyte (HPC) injury.Methods:The HPCs were divided into 5 groups: normal glucose group (NG group), mannitol group (MA group), high glucose group (HG group), Cana low dose (0.3 μmol/L) group and Cana high dose (1.0 μmol/L) group. Western blotting was used to examine the protein expressions of membrane-associated guanylate kinase inverted-2 (MAGI2), podocyte-associated protein nephrin, sodium-glucose transporter 2 (SGLT2), NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3 (NLRP3), apoptosis- associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC), and cleaved-caspase1 in podocytes. Phalloidin staining of F-actin in podocytes was used to observe cytoskeletal injury. Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level of HPC was detected by the 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) probe. Levels of interleukin (IL)-18 and IL-1β in culture medium of podocytes were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results:(1) Compared with the NG group, the protein expressions of MAGI2 and nephrin decreased (both P<0.01), the protein expression of SGLT2 increased ( P<0.01), the changes of cell morphology and cytoskeleton remodeling were obvious, intracellular ROS level increased ( P<0.01), while NLRP3, ASC and cleaved-caspase1 protein expressions decreased in the HG group (all P<0.01). The results of ELISA showed that IL-18 and IL-1β concentrations were higher in the HG group (both P<0.05). (2) Compared with the HG group, in the Cana groups, MAGI2 and nephrin expressions up-regulated (both P<0.01), the changes of cell morphology and cytoskeleton remodeling were alleviated. Meanwhile the Cana groups showed decreased SGLT2 expression ( P<0.05), lower ROS level, down- regulated NLRP3, ASC, cleaved-caspase1 expressions (all P<0.01), and decreased concentrations of IL-18 and IL-1β in culture medium of podocytes (both P<0.05). Conclusion:Cana can improve high glucose-induced injury and inflammation in human podocyte, possibly due to the repression of the ROS/NLRP3 signaling pathway.

Hyperkalemia is one of the common ion metabolism disorders in clinical practice. Hyperkalemia is defined as serum potassium higher than 5.0 mmol/L according to the guidelines at home and abroad. Acute severe hyperkalemia can cause serious consequences, such as flaccid paralysis, fatal arrhythmia, and even cardiac arrest. The use of renin-angiotensin- aldosterone system inhibitors, β-blockers and diuretics, low-sodium and high-potassium diets, and the presence of related comorbidities increase the occurrence of hyperkalemia. Hyperkalemia risk exist in all clinical departments, but there is a lack of a standardization in the management of multi- department cooperation in hospital. Therefore, a number of domestic nephrology and cardiology department experts have discussed a management model for multi-department cooperation in hyperkalemia, formulating the management standard on hospital evaluation, early warning, diagnosis and treatment, and process. This can promote each department to more effectively participate in nosocomial hyperkalemia diagnosis and treatment, as well as the long-term management of chronic hyperkalemia, improving the quality of hyperkalemia management in hospital.

Methamphetamine(METH)is highly addictive and neurotoxic,which causes cognitive and memory dysfunction in abusers.The harm of METH lies not only in its own toxicity,but also in the high physical and mental dependence of drug addicts,often causing mental disorders and violent behavior,bringing great safety risks to society.Non-coding RNA(ncRNA)does not encode proteins and is an important factor in regulating gene expression at the post-transcriptional level.Studies have shown that ncRNA plays an important regulatory role in methamphetamine-induced addiction and neurotoxicity,but the specific mechanism is unclear.This article reviews the current research progress of ncRNA in regulating METH-induced addiction and neurotoxicity to provide a reference for ncRNA as a forensic identification index and potential therapeutic target for METH abusers.

Objective:To explore the current situation and influencing factors of quality of life of septic patients in intensive care unit (ICU) after discharge, and to provide theoretical basis for clinical early psychological intervention and continuity of care.Methods:A prospective observational study was conducted. The septic patients who were hospitalized in the department of critical care medicine of the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University and discharged with improvement from January 1 to December 31, 2022 were selected as the research objects. The demographic information, basic diseases, infection site, vital signs at ICU admission, severity scores of the condition within 24 hours after ICU admission, various biochemical indexes, treatment process, and prognostic indexes of all the patients were recorded. All patients were assessed by questionnaire at 3 months of discharge using the 36-item short-form health survey scale (SF-36 scale), the activities of daily living scale (ADL scale), and the Montreal cognitive assessment scale (MoCA scale). Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the factors influencing the quality of life of septic patients after discharge from the hospital.Results:A total of 200 septic patients were discharged with improvement and followed up at 3 months of discharge, of which 150 completed the questionnaire. Of the 150 patients, 57 had sepsis and 93 had septic shock. The total SF-36 scale score of septic patients at 3 months of discharge was 81.4±23.0, and the scores of dimensions were, in descending order, role-emotional (83.4±23.0), mental health (82.9±23.6), bodily pain (82.8±23.3), vitality (81.6±23.2), physical function (81.4±23.5), general health (81.1±23.3), role-physical (79.5±27.0), and social function (78.8±25.2). There was no statistically significant difference in the total SF-36 scale score between the patients with sepsis and septic shock (82.6±22.0 vs. 80.7±23.6, P > 0.05). Incorporating the statistically significant indicators from linear univariate analysis into multiple linear regression analysis, and the results showed that the factors influencing the quality of life of septic patients at 3 months after discharge included ADL scale score at 3 months after discharge [ β= 0.741, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 0.606 to 0.791, P < 0.001], length of ICU stay ( β= -0.209, 95% CI was -0.733 to -0.208, P = 0.001), duration of mechanical ventilation ( β= 0.147, 95% CI was 0.122 to 0.978, P = 0.012), total dosage of norepinephrine ( β= -0.111, 95% CI was -0.044 to -0.002, P = 0.028), mean arterial pressure (MAP) at ICU admission ( β= -0.102, 95% CI was -0.203 to -0.007, P = 0.036) and body weight ( β= 0.097, 95% CI was 0.005 to 0.345, P = 0.044). Conclusions:The quality of life of patients with sepsis at 3 months after discharge is at a moderately high level. The influencing factors of the quality of life of patients with sepsis at 3 months after discharge include the ADL scale score at 3 months after discharge, the length of ICU stay, the duration of mechanical ventilation, the total dosage of norepinephrine, MAP at ICU admission and body weight, and healthcare professionals should enhance the treatment and care of the patients during their hospitalization based on the above influencing factors, and pay attention to early psychological intervention and continued care for such patients.
