ObjectiveTo explore the diagnostic value of resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) stage of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and to investigate the changes in brain functional connectivity in default mode network (DMN) and medial temporal lobe (MTL) regions. MethodsLiteratures were retrieved from multiple databases including CNKI, PubMed, Medline, and Embase, etc. from January, 2020 to October, 2025, investigating the changes in functional connectivity of DMN and MTL in patients with MCI compared to health control (HC) using rs-fMRI. Two researchers independently screened and extracted the literatures and methodological quality was assessed using QUADAS-2. Review Manager 5.4 was used to perform a meta-analysis of neuroimaging indicators in MCI patients and HC subjects. Stata and SDM were utilized to summarize diagnostic efficacy and brain functional connectivity, calculating the over all sensitivity, specificity and summary receiver operating characteristic-area under the curve (SROC-AUC). Deeks funnel plots were drawn, literature weights were analyzed, and subgroup analyses were conducted. ResultsA total of ten literatures were ultimately included, involving 1 010 patients with MCI and 1 714 HC subjects. MCI patients showed decreased or abnormal blood oxygen level dependence signals in DMN, focusing on bilateral medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and posterior cingulate cortex. The SROC-AUC was 0.91. In MTL, there was a characteristic decrease of spontaneous neural functional connectivities between the hippocampus and other regions, reflecting the obstruction of information transmission from episodic memory to the central nodes. Abnormal functional connectivity in DMN and MTL resulted in compensatory resting-state functional connectivity enhancement in other subnetworks or local functional connections, such as frontoparietal network and the hippocampal-parietal network. Abnormal activation of mPFC suggested atrophy of the hippocampus or abnormal brain function. The decline in functional connectivity between DMN and MTL indicated impairment of memory and information processing in the early stage. ConclusionThe early functional decoupling between DMN and MTL is a crucial neural mechanism at the MCI stage of AD, providing important neuroimaging evidence for the early diagnosis of AD.

Encephalomyocarditis virus(EMCV)is a zoonotic pathogen that causes encephalitis and myocarditis as its primary clinical manifestations.To explore effective preventive measures,this study utilized a Bac-to-Bac expression system to insert the EMCV P12A and 3C genes into the pFastBacDual shuttle vector,resulting in the generation of the recombinant baculovirus Ac-P12A-3C.This facilitated the large-scale expression and purification of EMCV virus-like particles(VLPs),which were correctly assembled into particles of approximately 30 nm in diameter,as ob-served by electron microscopy.Immunization and challenge experiments in mice demonstrated that these VLPs could effectively protect against EMCV infection,achieving a protection rate of 100%.Histopathological sections indicated that,compared to the PBS control group,the VLP immuniza-tion group exhibited significantly reduced tissue damage,along with a marked decrease in viral load within the tissues.In piglets,immunization with the VLPs elicited a robust humoral response,with neutralizing antibody titers reaching 1∶320 to 1∶640 after a second immunization,and no signifi-cant adverse reactions were observed throughout the immunization process.This study preliminarily explores the immunogenicity and safety of the VLP vaccine,laying the foundation for the development of a subunit vaccine based on EMCV VLPs and offering a new strategy for the prevention and control of encephalomyocarditis.

The aim of this experiment is to investigate the mechanism of liver cell damage induced by nonylphenol(NP).After establishing an in vitro model of NP induced BRL-3A liver cell injury,changes of oxidative damage markers were evaluated,Fe2+content was determined,the ultrastruc-ture of BRL-3A was observed,and the expression level of iron death marker proteins were deter-mined.The results showed that NP could significantly increase ROS and MDA in BRL-3A cells(P<0.05);the GSH content,GSH Px activity,and SOD activity were significantly reduced(P<0.05);the Fe2+content significantly increased(P<0.05)and showed a dose-dependent effect;the mitochondrial volume of BRL-3A cells significantly decreases,the mitochondrial cristae break or e-ven disappear,and some mitochondria show vacuolization;the expression levels of iron homeostasis related proteins TFR1 and FTH1 were significantly reduced(P<0.05).The results indicate that ferroptosis is involved in the mechanism of NP induced liver cell damage,which bene-fits for further exploration of NP pathogenesis.

In order to effectively prevent the damage to the human body caused by abnormal oxygen concentration in the medical hyperbaric oxygen chamber, a ZigBee-based medical hyperbaric oxygen chamber oxygen concentration automatic control system is designed. The data acquisition module uses the microprocessor STM32F103C8T6 to receive the oxygen concentration data of each acquisition point, and the ZigBee of the data processing module transmits the processing results to the MSP430G2553 single-chip microcomputer at the receiving end of the slave. The MSP430G2553 single-chip microcomputer uses a self-organizing TS fuzzy neural network (SOTSFNN) and adds activation. The intensity concept realizes automatic control of the oxygen concentration in the hyperbaric oxygen chamber, and controls the buzzer to give an alarm when the oxygen concentration is lower than 19 mg/L and higher than 23 mg/L, and displays the current real-time oxygen concentration through LCD12864. The experimental results show that as the communication distance increases, the packet loss rate of the system is always lower than 5%, and the signal strength under the same communication distance is better; the system can effectively control the oxygen concentration value within the set range, and the oxygen concentration. The control accuracy is high and the stability is good.

Objective:To explore the effect of empowerment health education on the biochemical indicators and self-efficacy of elderly diabetic patients, so as to provide a theoretical basis for choosing a health education model suitable for elderly diabetic patients.Methods:From January to July of 2020, convenience sampling was used to select 130 elderly diabetic patients who were treated in the Geriatric Outpatient Clinic of Beijing Friendship Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University as the research object. All patients were divided into the intervention group and the control group according to the visit time, 65 cases in each group. The control group conducted regular health education, and the intervention group implemented empowerment health education. The blood glucose, blood lipid indexes and self-efficacy scores of the two groups of patients before and three months after the intervention were compared.Results:After intervention, the levels of glycosylated hemoglobin and triacylglycerol in the intervention group were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . There was no significant difference in fasting blood glucose, two hours postprandial blood glucose, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels between the two groups after intervention ( P>0.05) . The total scores of self-efficacy and the scores of strategic efficacy, and executive efficacy of the intervention group after the intervention were higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Empowerment health education is more effective than conventional health education in improving the self-efficacy of elderly diabetic patients, especially in terms of strategic efficiency and executive efficiency, and has a certain effect of improving some clinical biochemical indicators of elderly diabetic patients.
