Based on the concept of strategic purchasing,it explores the underlying logic of medical insurance payment for hospital weight management services,including enhancing the cost-effectiveness of health investment,motivating hospitals to improve the quality and efficiency of weight management services,and promoting the supply-side reform of weight management services.By drawing on international experience in medical insurance payment for weight management services and analyzing the current practices of Chinese medical insurance systems,it is found China faces challenges in promoting hospital weight management services,such as incoordination between weight management policy advocacy and medical insurance funding,conflicting DRG grouping schemes,and inadequate insurance coverage.To address these issues,it proposes strategies including:improve the top-level design of medical insurance payment for hospital weight management services,give full play to the incentive role of medical insurance payment on hospitals and individuals,build a diversified medical insurance support system for weight management services,optimize the practice path of medical insurance payment for hospital weight management services,and help promote the Healthy China strategy.

Objective:To investigate the potential of praeruptorin A (PA) in alleviating inflammatory damage in sepsis through the inhibition of ferritin expression.Methods:C57BL/6 mice were intraperitoneally injected with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to establish the model of sepsis. After 6 and 12 h of PA intervention, serum levels of inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α were measured by ELISA. Kidney tissues were collected at 72 h for HE staining to assess inflammatory cell infiltration and tissue damage. Human neutrophils were divided into four groups: control, LPS, ferritin, and LPS+ ferritin groups. After 12 h of intervention, qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of IL-6 and TNF-α mRNA. In order to observe the effect of PA on the expression of inflammatory cytokines and ferritin, human neutrophils were grouped into control, LPS, and LPS+ PA (2/3/4 μmol/L) groups. After 12 h of intervention, qRT-PCR was performed to measure the expression of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and ferritin mRNA; ELISA was used to quantify the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in culture supernatants; Western blot was used to analyze the expression of ferritin. Molecular docking was conducted to verify interactions between PA and ferritin.Results:Significant inflammatory cell recruitment, tissue damage, and elevated serum levels of IL-6 and TNF-α ( P<0.01) were observed in mice with LPS-induced sepsis. PA significantly inhibited cytokine secretion ( P<0.01) and alleviated tissue injury in sepsis mice. In human neutrophil models, ferritin upregulated the expression of IL-6 and TNF-α mRNA ( P<0.01); LPS stimulation alone increased the expression of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and ferritin at both mRNA and protein levels ( P<0.01), while co-stimulation with PA (3/4 μmol/L) significantly reversed the aforementioned results ( P<0.01). Molecular docking confirmed there were interaction sites between PA and ferritin. Conclusion:PA inhibits the release of inflammatory cytokines and alleviates tissue damage in sepsis, and the potential mechanism may involve modulating ferritin expression to suppress inflammatory responses.

Objective:To explore the distribution and clearance of 99mTc labeled diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid(99mTc-DTPA)in different brain regions of adult rats after administration through brain extracellular space(ECS)pathway.Methods:After the injection of a volume of 2 μL and radioactive activity of about 3.7 MBq(100 μCi)of 99mTc-DTPA into the caudate nucleus and thalamus of SD rats through stereotactic positioning of rat brain,the single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography(SPECT/CT)for small animals was used for imaging at different time points,and the dyna-mic distribution and clearance of the tracer in the whole body were observed continuously.The SD rats were injected with 99mTc-DTPA into thalamus and caudate nucleus respectively for biological distribution in vivo.They were put to death 4 h later.Their blood and urine were collected.The brain,cerebellum,heart,liver,spleen,lung,and kidney were taken and weighed by γ counter to measure its radioactivity.Results:SPECT/CT imaging results showed that after 99mTc-DTPA was administered through brain ECS,the radioactivity was concentrated in the brain,kidney and bladder.The tracer administered to the left caudate nucleus was preferentially drained to the right cerebellum,while the tracer administered to the right caudate nucleus was preferentially drained to the left cerebellum.There was a phenomenon of"con-tralateral cerebellar dominant drainage"in the caudate nucleus.The thalamic area preferentially drained to the ipsilateral cerebellum after administration.Four hours after administration via ECS,high radioac-tive uptake appeared in urine,cerebellum and brain,followed by blood and kidney.The radioactive up-take values of heart,liver,spleen and lung were low,which were mainly excreted through urinary sys-tem.Conclusion:Intracerebral ECS administration is a promising method of administration,but there are significant differences in distribution and clearance in different brain regions.This study further ex-pands the content and significance of"ECS regions",and also provides an important theoretical founda-tion for the treatment of encephalopathy and the research of new drugs through brain ECS in the future.

The aim was to identify high-risk groups for postretirement depression among those aged 65 or older. Methods: This study used the 9th Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing to identify the prevalence of depression among 1,879 retirees aged 65 and above and to develop a predictive model. The decision-tree-analysis method was used to construct a predictive model. Results: The highest proportion of depression, at 58.5%, was observed in males who do not engage in regular exercise and have low daily living performance. In the predictive model where age is fixed as the first branch, depression was highest at 55.4% among middle-old or old-old individuals with low oral-health-related quality of life and marital status of separated/divorced/widowedever married. In a predictive model that first classifies by sex, the proportion of depression was highest at 53.7% for dependent males. Conclusion: This study confirmed that age, oral health, marital status, heath status, instrumental activities of daily living, activities of daily living, and regular exercise have an impact on depression. However, these factors change over time, so longitudinal studies should be conducted to understand how depression changes with them.

Objective To analyze the predictive value of magnetic resonance angiography(MRA)combined with CT angiography for the prognosis of neurological function in elderly patients with cerebral infarction and its influencing factors.Methods A total of 102 elderly patients with cere-bral infarction admitted to our hospital from April 2020 to August 2023 were recruited,and ac-cording to the modified Rankin scale(mRS),they were divided into good prognosis group(mRS score≤3,66 patients)and poor prognosis group(mRS score＞3,36 patients).Their clinical data were collected.The stenosis rate of the lesion site was examined by MRA,and the Alberta stroke program early CT score(ASPECTS)was semi-quantitatively evaluated with CT angiography ex-amination.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the influencing factors for poor neurological prognosis.ROC curve was plotted to analyze the predictive value of MRA com-bined with CT angiography for the prognosis.Results Advanced age,higher NIHSS score,larger white blood cell and neutrophil counts,and higher homocysteine level were observed in the poor prognosis group than the good prognosis group(P＜0.01).The poor prognosis group had signifi-cantly higher stenosis rate and lower ASPECTS than the good prognosis group(P＜0.01).Multi-variate logistic regression analysis showed that NIHSS score,white blood cell count,neutrophil count,stenosis rate and ASPECTS were independent risk factors for poor prognosis of neurologi-cal function in elderly patients with cerebral infarction(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).The AUC value of stenosis rate,ASPECTS and their combination in predicting poor prognosis of neurological func-tion in elderly patients with cerebral infarction were 0.745(95％CI:0.645-0.844)and 0.711(95％CI:0.598-0.824),and 0.891,respectively.The AUC value of the combination was the highest,with a sensitivity of 87.76％and a specificity of 63.65％.Conclusion NIHSS score,white blood cell count,neutrophil count,stenosis rate and ASPECTS are independent risk factors for poor prognosis of neurological function in elderly patients with cerebral infarction.The combina-tion of stenosis rate and ASPECTS based on MRA and CT angiography has the highest predictive value.
