Implementation Science is an interdisciplinary field dedicated to systematically studying how to effectively translate evidence-based research findings into practical application and implementation. In the health-related context, it focuses on enhancing the efficiency and quality of healthcare services, thereby facilitating the transition from scientific evidence to real-world practice. This article elaborates on Theories, Models, and Frameworks (TMF) within health-related Implementation Science, clarifying their basic concepts and classifications, and discussing their roles in guiding implementation processes. Furthermore, it reviews and prospects current research from three aspects: the constituent elements of TMF, their practical applications, and future directions. Five representative frameworks are emphasized, including the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), the Practical Robust Implementation and Sustainability Model (PRISM), the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, Sustainment (EPIS)framework, the Behavior Change Wheel (BCW), and the Normalization Process Theory (NPT). Additionally, resources such as the Dissemination & Implementation Models Webtool and the T-CaST tool are introduced to assist researchers in selecting appropriate TMFs based on project-specific needs.

Traditional manual testing of ventilator performance is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and prone to errors in data recording, making it difficult to meet the current demands for testing efficiency in the development and manufacturing of ventilators. Therefore, in this study we designed an automated testing system for essential performance parameters of ventilators. The system mainly comprises a ventilator airflow analyzer, an automated switch module for simulated lungs, and a test control platform. Under the control of testing software, this system can perform automated tests of critical performance parameters of ventilators and generate a final test report. To validate the effectiveness of the designed system, tests were conducted on two different brands of ventilators under four different operating conditions, comparing tidal volume, oxygen concentration, and positive end expiratory pressure accuracy using both the automated testing system and traditional manual methods. Bland-Altman statistical analysis indicated good consistency between the accuracy of automated tests and manual tests for all respiratory parameters. In terms of testing efficiency, the automated testing system required approximately one-third of the time needed for manual testing. These results demonstrate that the designed automated testing system provides a novel approach and means for quality inspection and measurement calibration of ventilators, showing broad application prospects.

OBJECTIVES: To compare the efficacy of toric implantable collamer lens (Toric-ICL) and femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) for myopia correction in patients with moderate to high myopia complicated with astigmatism. METHODS: We retrospectively collected data from 64 patients (aged 18-42 years) with moderate to high myopia complicated with astigmatism (128 eyes) undergoing either Toric-ICL (28 patients/56 eyes) or FS-LASIK (36 patients/72 eyes) at our department between January, 2019 and December, 2020. The changes of uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCVA), spherical equivalent (SE), mean astigmatism correction index (CI), corneal endothelial cell density (ECD) and intraocular pressure (IOP) following the procedures were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: In FS-LASIK group, all the eyes (72/72) achieved an UCVA≥1.0, similar to the rate in Toric-ICL group (55/56 eyes; P=0.2374). The postoperative SE was also comparable between FS-LASIK and Toric-ICL groups [0.43±0.06 D (range: -1.0 to 1.50 D) vs 0.38±0.05 D (range: -0.75 to 1.00 D); P=0.56]. The mean astigmatism CI was significantly higher in FS-LASIK group than in Toric-ICL group (0.8561 vs 0.7176; P<0.0001), and 88.89% of the eyes in FS-LASIK group and 69.64% in Toric-ICL group had postoperative astigmatism ≤0.50 D. No significant changes were observed in postoperative corneal ECD in FS-LASIK group, whereas ECD decreased significantly after the procedure in Toric-ICL group (P=0.0057). The patients undergoing Toric-ICL exhibited no significant changes of postoperative IOP, but the patients receiving FS-LASIK had significantly reduced IOP after the procedure (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Although the patients included in Toric-ICL group had higher myopia and astigmatism, Toric-ICL still showed better predictability and efficacy for astigmatic correction in Toric-ICL group. Toric-ICL is an effective and safe equivalent of FS-LASIK for correcting moderate myopia but can be more advantageous for correcting high myopia with astigmatism.

Objective:To screen for preoperative frailty risk factors in elderly patients with spinal degenerative diseases and construct a risk prediction model.Methods:From September 2021 to August 2022, convenience sampling was used to select 324 elderly patients who underwent spinal surgery in the Department of Neurosurgery at Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University as research subjects. The patients were surveyed using the General Information Questionnaire, Barthel Index, Nutritional Risk Screening 2002, Mini-mental State Examination, Geriatric Depression Scale-15, Generalized Anxiety Disorde-7, Athens Insomnia Scale, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), and Modified Frailty Index. Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of preoperative frailty in elderly patients with spinal degenerative diseases and establish a risk prediction model. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve was used to assess the discriminative power of the model, and Hosmer-Lemeshow test was used to evaluate the goodness of fit of the model.Results:A total of 324 questionnaires were distributed, and 308 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 95.06% (308/324). Among 308 elderly patients with degenerative spinal diseases, 56 patients experienced preoperative frailty. Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that falls within one year, CCI, serum albumin, activities of daily living, and self-rated health status were the influencing factors for preoperative frailty in elderly patients with spinal degenerative diseases ( P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve of the prediction model was 0.851, with a sensitivity of 0.786 and a specificity of 0.778. Hosmer Lemeshow test indicated that the predictive model had a good fit (χ 2=3.764, P=0.709) . Conclusions:Falls within one year, CCI, serum albumin, activities of daily living, and self-rated health status are influencing factors for preoperative frailty in elderly patients with spinal degenerative diseases. The risk prediction model constructed can identify preoperative frailty early and has good predictive performance, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Abstract: Objective To develop an ELISA kit to detect IgG antibodies of Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), providing a new method for epidemiological investigation and detection in the field for CHIKV infection. Methods Using the CHIKV-specific recombinant protein pMal-chik23 as diagnostic antigen, HRP-labeled anti-IgG antibody as color-developing antibody, and the working concentration of diagnostic antigen, serum to be tested and second antibody were optimized using orthogonal. The reaction conditions of ELISA reaction, such as coating, blocking, incubation, and color-developing were systematically optimized. The cut-off value for ELISA detection was established based on the assessment of a large clinical sample set. On this basis, the specificity, sensitivity, and stability of the ELISA response were evaluated to develop and assemble a rapid ELISA kit for the detection of Chikungunya fever IgG antibodies. Results On the basis of systematic conditions optimization, an indirect ELISA kit for the detection of IgG antibodies against CHIKV was developed and assembled. The optimal reaction conditions were identified as 1.0 μg/mL antigen was coated using carbonate buffer at 4 ℃ for 24 hours. Then the microplate was blocked using HBV blocking solution at 37 ℃ for 4 hours. 100 μL/well samples to be tested were diluted at 1∶101, reacted at 37 ℃ for 40 minutes, and washed 4 times with PBST. Thus, HRP-labeled rabbit anti-human IgG was diluted at 1∶20 000, HRP-labeled sheep anti-mouse IgG was diluted at 1∶10 000, reaction at 37 ℃ for 30 minutes, and washed 5 times with PBST. Finally, 100 μL/well TMB solution was added and incubated at 37 ℃ for 10 minutes. Then terminate the reaction with 50 μL of 20% H2SO4 and measure the A450 value at dual wavelengths of 450/630 nm (A450) . The evaluation results showed that ELISA A450 of Chikungunya fever-positive samples were more than 0.43, while the ELISA A450 of negative samples was less than 0.04, and the S/N ratio > 10. Specificity test showed that the developed kit had no cross-reaction with 9 other similar arbovirus species such as Sindbis, Geta, Ross River, and Dengue virus. The stability evaluation of the reagent kit indicated that it had high stability, with a coefficient of variation (CV) within the microplate ranging from 0.76% to 2.12%, the coefficient of variation between the microplate ranged from 0.64% to 1.85%, and the coefficient of variation between batches ranged from 0.83% to 2.31%, all of which were less than 3%. The sensitivity of the kit did not decrease significantly after being stored at 4°C for 1 year. Conclusions A rapid indirect ELISA kit for the detection of Chikungunya fever IgG antibodies was successfully developed, exhibiting good sensitivity, specificity, and stability.

Objective To explore the research progress, research hotspot and development trend of tigecycline resistance based on the quantitative analysis and visualization function of CiteSpace. Methods The data were collected from 4,263 Chinese and English articles on tigecycline resistance in CNKI, Wanfang, VIP and Web of Science (WOS) databases from 2012 to 2022. CiteSpace 5.8.R3 software was used to analyze the cooperative network of authors, the cooperative network of countries and institutions, the total citation times of journals, and keywords included in the literature, to reveal the hotspots and trends of tigecycline resistance research. Results The number of articles published in English literature was higher than that in Chinese literature. China had the largest number of published documents, showing a significant international academic influence in this research field. Countries all over the world were concerned about the resistance of tigecycline, but Chinese literatures focused more on the clinical infection and prevention of tigecycline resistance, while English literatures placed special emphasis on the research about the drug resistance mechanism of tigecycline. Conclusion The research direction at home and abroad is basically the same, but the research focus has gradually shifted from the clinical treatment and monitoring of tigecycline to the molecular level of drug resistance mechanism.

Objective: To investigate the relationships among psychological resilience, parental control, and behavioral problems in middle school students, aiming to provide evidencebased recommendations for the prevention and intervention of behavioral issues in middle school students, as well as for the development of related policies. Methods: A stratified cluster sampling method was used to select 2 745 participants from three cities in Guizhou Province with different levels of economic development from August to December 2021. The Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), Parental Control Questionnaire, and Psychological Resilience Questionnaire were administered to junior high school students and their parents. A network analysis method was employed to construct a network analysis model of factors influencing behavioral problems. Results: The detection rate of behavioral problems among junior high school students in Guizhou Province was 22.62%. The scores for psychological resilience (goal focus, emotional control, positive cognition, family support, and interpersonal assistance) and proactive inquiry in behavior control were higher in the group without behavioral problems than in the group with behavioral problems. Scores for psychological control (inducing guilt, with drawing affection, and asserting authority) were higher in the group with behavioral problems than in the group without behavioral problems, with statistically significant differences (t=9.80, 17.76, 6.21, 12.20, 13.18, 6.28, 11.58, 11.10, 10.74, P<0.05). The network model showed that among the same variable factors, the strongest connection weight was between inducing guilt and withdrawing affection, with a weight of 0.79. Between different variables, there were negative correlation between behavioral problems and psychological resilience (goal focus, emotional control, positive cognition, family support, interpersonal assistance) and behavior control (proactive inquiry, behavioral restraint) with correlation coefficients (r=-0.25, -0.42, -0.16, -0.31, -0.33, -0.17, -0.03, P<0.05), respectively. There were positive correlation between psychological control factors (inducing guilt, withdrawing affection, and asserting authority) and behavioral problems (r=0.29, 0.27, 0.27), and a negative correlation between these psychological control factors and psychological resilience factors (goal focus, emotional control, positive cognition, family support, interpersonal assistance)(r=-0.53--0.13)(P<0.05). The strongest connection weight was between withdrawing affection and family support, with a connection weight of -0.53. Family support was an important bridge symptom connecting the entire behavioral problem network model, with a high centrality. Conclusions The detection rate of behavioral problems among junior high school students in Guizhou Province is relatively high. Assisting adolescents in establishing a supportive family environment facilitates the cultivation of their psychological resilience, thereby mitigating the occurrence of behavioral problems.

Objective:This study aims to explore the survival advantages of different maintenance strategies for MCL.Methods:Clinical data of 693 newly diagnosed MCL patients in multi-centers admitted from April 1999 to December 2019 were collected. 309 cases received maintenance treatment. The characteristics of patients in different maintenance treatment groups were summarized and Kaplan-Meier survival and prognosis analysis were conducted.Results:The overall 3-year and 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates were (73.5±2.9) % and (53.6±4.3) %, respectively. The 3-year and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates were (94.2±1.5) % and (82.7±3.2) %, respectively. The clinical features of different maintenance treatment groups were generally consistent. The 3-year PFS rates of rituximab maintenance, lenalidomide maintenance, BTK inhibitor maintenance and dual-drug maintenance were (70.4±4.1) %, (69.1±7.6) %, (86.9±5.0) %, and (80.4±5.1) %, respectively. Corresponding 3-year OS rates were (92.9±2.4) %, (97.3±2.7) %, (97.9±2.1) %, and (95.3±2.7) %, respectively. There were no significant difference in different groups ( P=0.632, 0.313). Survival analysis identified the MCL International Prognostic Index (MIPI) high-risk group and achieving complete remission before maintenance treatment as independent risk factors for PFS. The MIPI high-risk group, high-dose cytarabine application, treatment lines, and early disease progression (POD24) emerged as independent risk factors for OS. Conclusion:Comparing the different maintenance strategies of MCL, the result showed that BTK inhibitors (BTKi) maintenance demonstrated preliminary advantages in survival. Meanwhile, high-risk group according to MIPI and incomplete remission before maintenance treatment were significant factors related to disease progression.

Calciphylaxis is a rare ischemic necrotic skin disease characterized by skin ischemia, necrosis, and severe pain. Histopathological features include systemic arteriolar media calcification, intimal fibrosis, and thrombosis. While calciphylaxis is predominantly found in uremic patients, there have been a few case reports in non-uremic patients. This article presented a case of a non-uremic patient with primary hyperparathyroidism who underwent parathyroidectomy and subsequently developed severe calciphylaxis. The patient presented with symptoms of lower limb dermatalgia and ulceration, consistent with the classic clinical features of calciphylaxis. Following a systematic therapeutic approach in accordance with the "Zhongda Scheme", a complete remission of the condition was achieved. At the same time, the authors reviewed the relevant literature on the risk factors and possible mechanisms of non-uremic calciphylaxis based on this case.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS) combined with the global register of acute coronary events (GRACE) score in predicting coronary microcirculation disorder (CMD) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods A total of 90 patients with AMI were selected as the study objects (10 cases were lost in follow-up, 4 cases were screened for poor image quality), and 76 cases were finally included. Left ventricular myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) was performed in patients at 48 h after surgery. Patients were divided into non-CMD group (n=53) and CMD group (n=23) according to coronary microcirculation perfusion. Clinical data and echocardiographic data of the two groups were analyzed and compared. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to screen the influencing factors of CMD occurrence, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to analyze its clinical predictive value. Results Of the 76 patients, 23(30.3%) cases had CMD. LVGLS and GRACE scores in the CMD group were higher than those in the non-CMD group, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that LVGLS and GRACE score were independent predictors of CMD in AMI patients after emergency PCI. The area under the curve of CMD predicted by LVGLS was 0.858 (95%CI, 0.769 to 0.948). LVGLS combined with GRACE predicted that the area under the curve for CMD was 0.891 (95%CI, 0.815 to 0.967). Conclusion LVGLS is an independent predictor for early assessment of CMD occurrence in AMI patients after emergency PCI, and its combination with GRACE score can improve the accuracy of predicting CMD occurrence.
