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.

OBJECTIVE: Several epidemiological observational studies have related particulate matter (PM) exposure to Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but many confounding factors make it difficult to draw causal links from observational studies. The objective of this study was to explore the causal association between PM _2.5 exposure, its absorbance, and IBD. METHODS: We assessed the association of PM _2.5 and PM _2.5 absorbance with the two primary forms of IBD (Crohn's disease [CD] and ulcerative colitis [UC]) using Mendelian randomization (MR) to explore the causal relationship. We conducted two-sample MR analyses with aggregated data from the UK Biobank genome-wide association study. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms linked with PM _2.5 concentrations or their absorbance were used as instrumental variables (IVs). We used inverse variance weighting (IVW) as the primary analytical approach and four other standard methods as supplementary analyses for quality control. RESULTS: The results of MR demonstrated that PM _2.5 had an adverse influence on UC risk (odds ratio [ OR] = 1.010; 95% confidence interval [ CI] = 1.001-1.019, P = 0.020). Meanwhile, the results of IVW showed that PM _2.5 absorbance was also causally associated with UC ( OR = 1.012; 95% CI = 1.004-1.019, P = 0.002). We observed no causal relationship between PM _2.5, PM _2.5 absorbance, and CD. The results of sensitivity analysis indicated the absence of heterogeneity or pleiotropy, ensuring the reliability of MR results. CONCLUSION Based on two-sample MR analyses, there are potential positive causal relationships between PM _2.5, PM _2.5 absorbance, and UC.

The hydroxyl value and conjugated linoleic acid content of dehydrated castor oils are two important indicators that reflect its properties.Thus,monitoring the two indicators can better realize the industrial production of high-quality dehydrated castor oils.However,traditional chemical measurement methods have many disadvantages in determination of the two indictors,including large reagent consumption,long determination time,and cannot achieve rapid monitoring.Fourier transform infrared spectrometry(FTIR)is a new and non-destructive detection method that is low-cost and can achieve rapid detection.In this work,FTIR technique was employed to collect spectral information of dehydrated castor oils and analyze the relationship between FTIR spectral information and hydroxyl value and conjugated linoleic acid content,and a rapid detection method for detecting the property indicators of dehydrated castor oils was thus established.FTIR scanning was performed on dehydrated castor oils with a hydroxyl value of 21.9-161.4 mg KOH/g and a conjugated linoleic acid content of less than 37.5%.Among different preprocessing methods,orthogonal scatter correction(OSC)could improve the prediction accuracy of the resulting model,by which the optimal modeling data segments for hydroxyl value and conjugated linoleic acid content were 3200-3800 cm-1 and 800-1200 cm-1,respectively,and the optimal modeling method was partial least squares(PLS).The coefficients of determination of the optimal models for hydroxyl value and conjugated linoleic acid content were all above 0.99.

Objective:To investigate the effect of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) on bladder cancer by regulating phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway via tyrosine 3-monooxygenase/tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activation protein epsilon peptide (YWHAE) and to examine its mechanism.Methods:The gene expression profiling interactive analysis (GEPIA) database was used to analyze HER2 expression in 408 bladder cancer tissues and 19 adjacent normal tissues. HER2 expression was then compared between 215 tumor protein 53 ( TP53) mutant and 193 TP53 non-mutant bladder cancer tissues. Tissue samples were obtained from patients who underwent surgical resection for bladder cancer in Tianjin Medical University General Hospital between June 2010 and March 2015. Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting were performed to validate HER2 and p53 protein expression, as well as analyze their correlation. Bladder cancer T24 cells were transfected with short hairpin RNA targeting HER2 (shHER2) control (shCon) or shHER2, designated as shCon and shHER2 groups. Bladder cancer UMUC3 cells were transfected with overexpression control (oeCon), HER2 overexpression (oeHER2), oeYWHAE, or short hairpin RNA targeting murine double minute 2 (MDM2) (shMDM2), and were designated as the oeCon, oeHER2, oeYWHAE and shMDM2 groups, respectively. UMUC3 cells were then treated with either 0.1% dimethyl sulfoxide or 100 mmol/L dihydrotestosterone and designated as the solvent control and dihydrotestosterone groups, respectively. Additionally, oeCon and oeYWHAE UMUC3 cells were treated with the PI3K inhibitor LY294002 (25 μmol/L), designated as the LY294002 and LY294002+oeYWHAE groups. On this basis, shHER2 was transfected into the oeCon and oeYWHAE groups, which were then designated as the shHER2-2 and shHER2-2+oeYWHAE groups. The relative expression levels of HER2, YWHAE mRNA, and HER2, p53, YWHAE, MDM2, phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt), and Akt proteins were determined using quantitative reverse transcription PCR and Western blotting. Cell Counting Kit-8, Transwell, and wound-healing assays were performed to evaluate the impact of HER2 on the proliferation, invasion, and migration of bladder cancer cells. Mass spectrometry and co-immunoprecipitation assays were performed to confirm the interaction between YWHAE and HER2, and immunofluorescence was used to detect p53 expression. BALB/c nude mice were subcutaneously injected with 5×10 6 UMUC3 cells in the scapular region. According to the random number table method, they were divided into negative the control group and the transfection group, with 3 mice in each group, and transfected with oeCon and oeHER2, respectively. Tumor volume and weight were measured and calculated, and HER2 and p53 protein expression in bladder cancer tissues was validated by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. Independent sample t test or Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the two groups. One-way analysis of variance or Kruskal-Wallis test was used for comparison of multiple groups. Results:GEPIA database analysis demonstrated significantly higher levels of HER2 expression in bladder cancer tissues and in TP53 mutant bladder cancers compared with adjacent normal tissues (both P<0.01). HER2 expression was inversely correlated with p53 expression ( r=?0.6). Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting confirmed that p53 expression level in the bladder cancer tissues (5.32±0.11) was higher than that in the adjacent normal tissues (2.00±0.01), while HER2 expression level in the bladder cancer tissues (1.13±0.02) was lower than that in the adjacent normal tissues (6.20±0.06) (both P<0.01). HER2 mRNA and protein expression, absorbance at 450 nm wavelength ( A450) values, and cell invasion number and cell migration distance in the shHER2 group were all lower than those in the shCon group [0.25±0.01 vs 1.00±0.05, 1.00± 0.01 vs 3.26±0.09, 1.36±0.04 vs 1.65±0.06, (107.00±5.51) vs (202.70±11.61) cells, and (298.70±6.94) vs (454.30±7.84) μm] ( P<0.05, 0.01). HER2 mRNA and protein expression, absorbance ( A450) values, and cell invasion number and cell migration distance in the oeHER2 group were all higher than those in the oeCon group [0.78±0.02 vs 0.46±0.01, 2.05±0.02 vs 1.00±0.00, 1.23±0.06 vs 0.78±0.03, (136.30±5.24) vs (59.00±5.51) cells, and (153.70±7.27) vs (66.33±33.84) μm] ( P<0.05, 0.01). HER2 protein expression level in the dihydrotestosterone group was higher than that in the solvent control (1.83±0.19 vs 1.00±0.00), while p53 protein expression level in the dihydrotestosterone group was lower than that in the solvent control group (1.10±0.10 vs 1.53±0.15) (both P<0.01). The differentially expressed protein between the dihydrotestosterone group and solvent control group was YWHAE. The expression levels of YWHAE mRNA and protein in the dihydrotestosterone group (1.10±0.12 and 3.05±0.03) were higher than those in the solvent control group (0.30±0.12 and 1.00±0.00) (both P<0.01). YWHAE protein expression level in the oeHER2 group was higher than that in the oeCon group (1.37±0.08 vs 1.00±0.00) ( P<0.01) and YWHAE expression level in the bladder cancer tissues was higher than that in the adjacent normal tissues ( P<0.01). YWHAE expression positively correlated with HER2 expression ( r=0.4). Co-immunoprecipitation confirmed direct binding between HER2 and YWHAE. Overexpression of YWHAE significantly reduced p53 expression. The relative expression level of MDM2 protein in the oeYWHAE group (2.73±0.09) was lower than that in the oeCon group (3.43±0.12) ( P<0.01). The relative expression level of MDM2 protein in the shMDM2 group (1.00±0.00) was lower than that in the oeYWHAE group, and the relative expression level of p53 protein (2.00±0.00) was higher than that in the oeYWHAE group (1.07±0.07) (both P<0.01). The relative expression levels of YWHAE and p-Akt protein in the oeYWHAE group (1.23±0.09, 3.00±0.06) were higher than those in the oeCon group (1.00±0.00, 1.13±0.03) ( P<0.05, 0.01). The relative expression level of p-Akt protein in LY294002 group (2.20±0.06) was lower than that in the oeCon group (3.30±0.10), and the relative expression level of p53 protein (2.10±0.06) was higher than that in the oeCon group (1.00±0.00) (both P<0.01). The relative expression level of p-Akt protein in LY294002+oeYWHAE group (2.00±0.06) was lower than that in the oeYWHAE group (3.53±0.14), and the relative expression level of p53 protein (2.10±0.06) was higher than that in the oeYWHAE group (1.00±0.06) (both P<0.01). The relative expression levels levels of YWHAE, p-Akt and MDM2 protein in the shHER2-2 group (1.60±0.15, 1.70±0.06, 0.80±0.06) were lower than those in the oeCon group (2.30±0.06, 2.30±0.06, 1.13±0.09), and the relative expression level of p53 protein (1.83±0.12) was higher than that in the oeCon group (1.00±0.00) ( P<0.05, 0.01). The relative expression level of YWHAE protein in the shHER2-2+oeYWHAE group (2.00±0.06) was lower than that in the oeCon group ( P<0.01), and the relative expression levels of MDM2 and p53 protein (2.63±0.15, 1.13±0.03) were higher than those in the oeCon group ( P<0.05, 0.01). The tumor volume, tumor weight, and relative expression levels of HER2, YWHAE, p-Akt, and MDM2 proteins on day 28 in the transfection group [(5 133.0±185.6) mm 3, (0.65±0.12) g, 2.23±0.02, 4.00±0.12, 3.33±0.06 and 2.24±0.02] were higher than those in the negative control group [(2 633.0±88.2) mm 3, (0.33±0.07) g, 0.98±0.02, 1.27±0.03, 1.29±0.02 and 1.46±0.06] (all P<0.01). The relative expression level of p53 protein (1.21±0.04) was lower than that in the negative control group (3.29±0.04) ( P<0.01). Conclusions:HER2 may promote the malignant progression of bladder cancer by regulating the PI3K-Akt pathway via YWHAE, thereby facilitating MDM2 nuclear translocation and p53 degradation. This ultimately enhances the proliferative, migratory, and invasive capacities of bladder cancer cells.

Objective:To investigate the expression of microRNA-4262 (miR-4262) and neuregulin 1 (NRG1) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues and the relationship with prognosis.Methods:A total of 102 NSCLC patients who underwent surgical resection from January 2017 to February 2021 in Tongren People's Hospital of Guizhou Province were selected. The expression levels of miR-4262 and NRG1 were detected using real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. The expression levels of miR-4262 and NRG1 in NSCLC cancer tissues and adjacent tissues, as well as NSCLC cancer tissues with different clinicopathological characteristics were analyzed. TargetScan database was used to predict the binding sites of miR-4262 and NRG1, and Pearson correlation coefficient was used to analyze the correlation between miR-4262 and NRG1 expression in NSCLC cancer tissues. Based on the mean expression levels of miR-4262 and NRG1 in NSCLC cancer tissues, the patients were divided into high miR-4262 expression group (miR-4262≥1.52, n=54) and low miR-4262 expression group (miR-4262<1.52, n=48), high NRG1 expression group (NRG1≥0.79, n=54) and low NRG1 expression group (NRG1<0.79, n=48). Kaplan-Meier survival curves were plotted to compare the 3-year overall survival (OS) rates between groups. Cox proportional risk regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors for the prognosis of NSCLC patients. Results:The expression level of miR-4262 was significantly higher in NSCLC tumor tissues compared to adjacent tissues (1.52±0.21 vs. 1.11±0.20), while NRG1 expression level was lower (0.79±0.11 vs. 1.06±0.11), there were statistically significant differences ( t=14.22, P<0.001; t=-15.13, P<0.001). The expression of miR-4262 was negatively correlated with NRG1 in cancer tissues of NSCLC patients ( r=-0.74, P<0.001). There were statistically significant differences in the expression levels of miR-4262 and NRG1 of NSCLC patients in tumor differentiation ( t=2.80, P=0.006; t=-2.80, P=0.006), TNM stage ( F=24.36, P<0.001; F=17.66, P<0.001), and lymph node metastasis ( t=4.02, P<0.001; t=-3.98, P<0.001). At the end of the follow-up period, 57 patients survived, and 45 died, with a 3-year OS rate of 55.88%. Patients with high miR-4262 expression had a significantly lower 3-year OS rate compared to those with low miR-4262 expression (35.19% vs. 79.17%), patients with high NRG1 expression had a significantly higher 3-year OS rate than those with low NRG1 expression (77.78% vs. 31.25%), there were statistically significant differences ( χ2=22.58, P<0.001; χ2=27.26, P<0.001). Univariate analysis showed that, age ( HR=2.47, 95% CI: 1.05-5.80, P=0.038), maximum tumor diameter ( HR=3.75, 95% CI: 1.61-8.74, P=0.002), differentiation degree ( HR=3.03, 95% CI: 1.32-6.96, P=0.009), TNM stage (stage Ⅱ, HR=3.45, 95% CI: 1.10-10.83, P=0.034; stage Ⅲ, HR=6.72, 95% CI: 2.03-22.26, P=0.002), lymph node metastasis ( HR=3.00, 95% CI: 1.29-6.96, P=0.010), miR-4262 expression ( HR=3.72, 95% CI: 1.48-9.35, P=0.005), and NRG1 expression ( HR=0.30, 95% CI: 0.13-0.73, P=0.008) were all influencing factors for OS in NSCLC patients. Multivariate analysis showed that, differentiation degree ( HR=5.47, 95% CI: 1.63-18.34, P=0.006), TNM stage (stage Ⅲ, HR=5.56, 95% CI: 1.23-25.14, P=0.026), lymph node metastasis ( HR=3.72, 95% CI: 1.19-11.60, P=0.024), miR-4262 expression ( HR=8.56, 95% CI: 2.26-32.41, P=0.002), and NRG1 expression ( HR=0.26, 95% CI: 0.09-0.76, P=0.014) were all independent influencing factors for OS in NSCLC patients. Conclusions:The expression of miR-4262 is high and the expression of NRG1 is low in cancer tissues of NSCLC patients. The 3-year OS rate of patients with high miR-4262 expression is lower than that of patients with low miR-4262 expression, and the 3-year OS rate of patients with high NRG1 expression is higher than that of patients with low NRG1 expression. Differentiation degree, TNM stage, lymph node metastasis, miR-4262 and NRG1 are all independent influencing factors for the prognosis of NSCLC patients.

Objective To analyze the current status of occupational stress among primary and secondary school teachers, and explore the dose-response relationship between weekly work hours and occupational stress. Methods A total of 1 252 teachers from 13 primary and secondary schools in three prefecture-level cities of a central province of China were selected as the research subjects by the convenience sampling method. The Core Occupational Stress Scale was used to assess occupational stress levels of the teachers. Multivariate logistic regression analysis combined with restricted cubic spline models was applied to study the dose-response relationship between weekly work hours and occupational stress. Results The average weekly work hours were (55.3±15.9) hours, with 78.6% of teachers working more than 40.0 hours per week. The total score of occupational stress was (40.3±8.2) points, and the detection rate of occupational stress was 29.8%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis combined with restricted cubic spline models revealed a linear dose-response relationship in weekly work hours and occupational stress among teachers (P for overall trend <0.05, P for nonlinearity was 0.22). Result of age-stratified analysis showed that weekly work hours had a linear dose-response relationship with occupational stress risk in teachers aged 21-<31 and 31-<46 years (P for overall trend <0.05, P for nonlinearity was 0.71 and 0.27, respectively). However, no association was found between weekly work hours and occupational stress risk among teachers aged ≥46 years (P for overall trend =0.08, P for nonlinearity was 0.09). Conclusion There is a linear dose-response relationship between weekly work hours and occupational stress among primary and secondary school teachers in the province, with younger teachers being more susceptible to suffer occupational stress due to long working hours.

Ulcerative colitis(UC)is an immune-mediated inflammatory disease of the intestine.Mitochondrial homeostatic imbalance plays an important role in the development of UC.Spleen-stomach qi deficiency is the root cause of UC.This article focused on the theory of"spleen acting as the defense for host"and mitophagy to explain the pathological mechanism of UC,and discussed the correlation between mitochondria and spleen in combination with the related research of traditional Chinese and Western medicine.It proposed that mitophagy disorder is the microscopic manifestation of UC"spleen losing the defense",explored the application of the method of strengthening the spleen and restoring defense at the micro level to improve mitochondrial function,alleviate intestinal inflammation,and provide reference for theoretical research and clinical prevention and treatment of UC.
