ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of different exercise interventions on metabolism and liver parameters in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), and to provide evidence-based recommendations for clinical exercise rehabilitation. MethodsThis study was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines, and the protocol was registered on the PROSPERO platform, with a registration number of CRD42025641717. PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Wiley Online Library, CNKI, Wanfang Data, and VIP were searched for related articles published up to September 2024. The Cochrane tool for assessing risk of bias was used to assess the quality of articles, and Stata MP 17.0 was used to perform the network meta-analysis. ResultsA total of 57 articles were included, involving 2 648 patients. The results showed that aerobic exercise combined with resistance exercise had the best effect in improving body mass index (mean difference [WMD]=-0.97, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -1.66 to -0.28], P<0.05, surface under the cumulative ranking curve [SUCRA]=85.4) and triglycerides (WMD=-29.6, 95%CI: -46.66 to 12.54, P<0.05, SUCRA=87.3); resistance exercise was the optimal intervention method for improving total cholesterol (WMD=-15.99, 95%CI: -24.19 to -7.79, P<0.05, SUCRA=79.9) and glutamine transaminase (WMD=-8.08, 95%CI: -12.13 to -4.02, P<0.05, SUCRA=87.3); low-intensity aerobic exercise had the best effect in improving aspartate aminotransferase (WMD=-4.3, 95%CI: -8.45 to -0.15, P<0.05, SUCRA=73.5), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) (WMD=-3.26, 95%CI: -7.79 to 1.27, P>0.05, SUCRA=82.3), and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (WMD=-0.6, 95%CI: -2.02 to 0.82, P>0.05, SUCRA=78.8); moderate-intensity aerobic exercise was the optimal intervention modality to improve Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (WMD=-0.92, 95%CI: -1.51 to -0.33, P<0.05, SUCRA=69.4). It should be noted that there were no significant differences in HbA1c and GGT across different exercise interventions (all P>0.05), suggesting that there was currently no sufficient statistical evidence to support that exercise could improve these two indicators. ConclusionBased on the comprehensive league table and cumulative probability ranking, aerobic exercise combined with resistance exercise, resistance exercise, and low- and moderate-intensity aerobic exercise may be the best exercise modality for improving key indicators in MAFLD patients, and targeted exercise modalities should be selected for intervention against different indicators; however, due to limitations of the original studies, further studies are needed for validation and exploration.

Journal of Public Health and Preventive Medicine 2026;37(3):163-167
Objective To explore the correlation between anxiety and depression, treatment compliance and social support level in elderly patients with coronary heart disease. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on 325 patients with coronary heart disease who were treated in this hospital from June 2023 to June 2025 Pearson correlation analysis was used to examine the correlations between the level of social support [Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS)] and treatment compliance [12-item Medication Compliance Scale (MAS)], anxiety [Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA)], and depression [Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD)]. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to analyze the factors related to treatment compliance of coronary heart disease. Results SSRS score was positively associated with MAS score, and negatively correlated with HAMA score and HAMD score in patients with coronary heart disease (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis suggested that age, education level, living alone, cardiac function grading, mini-mental state examination scale score, SSRS score, HAMA score and HAMD score were independently correlated with treatment compliance in patients with coronary heart disease (P<0.05). Conclusion The level of social support in patients with coronary heart disease is positively correlated with treatment compliance, and negatively correlated with anxiety and depression, and social support level, anxiety and depression are independent related factors affecting treatment compliance.

Objective: To analyze the structural changes in whole blood and apheresis platelet donations in Chinese Society of Blood Transfusion (CSBT) sentinel units from 2021 to 2025, and to provide evidence for donor recruitment and blood service management. Methods: Aggregated data reported by sentinel sites were collected and stratified according to six indicators: age, sex, donation history, donation volume, donation site, and organization mode. Pearson χ
test, Cramer′V coefficient, Cochran-Armitage trend test and simple linear regression were adopted for analysis. Results: A total of 16 256 973 whole blood donations and 1 576 546 apheresis platelet donations were included. Among whole-blood donations, the proportion of donors aged 18-22 years decreased from 27.30% to 10.60%. The proportion of male donors increased from 58.81% to 63.13%; the proportion of people aged 30 and above increased from 58.40% to 75.30%; the proportion of fixed locations rose from 28.37% to 36.57%; the proportion of social groups increased from 21.69% to 39.69%. The 400-mL donations decreased from 62.12% to 53.46%, while individually initiated voluntary donations remained above 50%. Apheresis platelet donations were predominantly from males, individuals aged 30-39 years, and repeat donors; 2-treatment-unit apheresis platelet donations increased from 67.19% to 74.93%, and individually initiated donations accounted for 92.97%-96.02%. Statistically significant overall annual compositional differences were observed for all six indicators (all P<0.001), whereas linear trends for some sub-categories were not statistically significant. Conclusion: In the participating CSBT sentinel units, among whole blood donations, the proportions of donors aged 18-22 years, university-organized group donations, and donations at blood mobiles decreased, whereas the proportions of organizational group donations and donations at fixed venues increased. The apheresis platelet donation cohort is relatively mature and is evolving toward a high-efficiency donation model. Individual voluntary donation remains the primary organization mode for both donation types. Strategies such as youth donor recruitment, optimized layout of fixed donation sites, and retention of repeat donors should be strengthened to improve the resilience of blood supply.

Shegan Mahuangtang was a famous classical formula for treating asthma and is included in the the Catalogue of Ancient Famous Classical Formulas(The Second Batch). By means of bibliometrics, this study conducts a textual research and analysis on the key information of its formula origin, composition, drug origins, processing, dosage, decocting methods, efficacy, and clinical application. According to research, Shegan Mahuangtang was first recorded in Synopsis of the Golden Chamber and is the ancestral formula for treating cold asthma, which has been used to this day. Suggestions for the drug origins in Shegan Mahuangtang is as follows:Shegan is selected from the dried rhizomes of Belamcanda chinensis(Iridaceae), Mahuang is selected from the dried herbaceous stems of Ephedra sinica(Ephedraceae), Shengjiang is selected from the fresh rhizomes of Zingiber officinale(Zingiberaceae), Xixin is selected from the dried roots and rhizomes of Asarum heterotropoides var. mandshuricum, A. sieboldii var. seoulense or A. sieboldii(Aristolochiaceae), Ziwan is selected from the dried roots and rhizomes of Aster tataricus(Compositae), Kuandonghua is selected from the dried flower buds of Tussilago farfara(Compositae), Nanwuweizi is selected from the dried mature fruits of Schisandra sphenanthera(Magnoliaceae), Dazao is selected from the dried mature fruit of Ziziphus jujuba(Rhamnaceae), and Banxia, a plant of the Araceae family, is selected as the processed products of dried tubers from Pinellia ternata. The recommended dosage is 41.4 g of Shegan, Xixin, Ziwan and Kuandonghua, 55.2 g of Mahuang and Shengjiang, 37.5 g of Nanwuweizi, 21 g of Dazao, 34.5 g of Banxia. The decoction method is to boil Mahuang first in 2.4 L of water, remove the froth on the top, and add the rest of the herbs and decoct them together, and then boil them to 600 mL, and then take it at warm temperature, 200 mL each time, 3 times a day. In terms of clinical application, Shegan Mahuangtang is most commonly used for respiratory system diseases, especially in the treatment of adult or pediatric bronchial asthma and cough variant asthma. Phlegm sound in the throat is the core symptom of Shegan Mahuangtang in clinical practice, and the core pathogenesis is "cold fluid stagnated in the lungs". By excavating and sorting out the ancient and modern literature of Shegan Mahuangtang, key information is confirmed, which can provide literature reference for the modern clinical application and new drug development of this famous classical formula.

Severe pneumonia is one of the most common and critical respiratory diseases in clinical practice. It is characterized by rapid progression, difficult treatment, high mortality, and many complications, posing a significant threat to the life and health of patients. The pathogenesis of severe pneumonia is highly complex, and studies have shown that its occurrence and development are closely related to multiple signaling pathways. Currently, the treatment of severe pneumonia mainly focuses on anti-infection, mechanical ventilation, and glucocorticoids, but clinical outcomes are often not ideal. Therefore, finding safe and effective alternative therapies is particularly important. In recent years, with the deepening of research into traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), it has gained widespread attention in the treatment of severe pneumonia. This paper reviewed the relationship between severe pneumonia and relevant signaling pathways in recent years and how TCM regulated these pathways in the treatment of severe pneumonia. It was found that TCM could regulate the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88)/nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3), and nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling pathways, playing a role in reducing the inflammatory response, inhibiting cell apoptosis and pyroptosis, improving oxidative stress, and other effects in the treatment of severe pneumonia. Among these pathways, it was found that all of them regulated inflammation to treat severe pneumonia. Therefore, reducing inflammation is the core mechanism by which Chinese medicine treats severe pneumonia. This review provides direction for the clinical treatment of severe pneumonia and offers a scientific basis for the research and development of new drugs.

OBJECTIVE To summarize the current situation of pharmaceutical clinic service in our hospital over the past five years, and explore sustainable development strategies for service models of pharmaceutical clinics. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on the consultation records of patients who registered and established files at the pharmaceutical clinic in our hospital from January 2019 to December 2023. Statistical analysis was performed on patients’ general information, medication- related problems, and types of pharmaceutical services provided by pharmacists. RESULTS A total of 963 consultation records were included, among which females aged 20-39 years accounted for the highest proportion (66.04%); obstetrics and gynecology- related consultations accounted for the largest number of cases. Additionally, 80 patients attended follow-up visits at our hospital’s pharmaceutical clinic. A total of 1 029 medication-related issues were resolved, including 538 cases of drug consultations (52.28%), 453 medication recommendations (44.02%), 22 medication restructuring(2.14%), and 16 medication education (1.55%); the most common types of medication-related problems identified were adverse drug events(70.07%). CONCLUSIONS Although the pharmaceutical clinic has achieved recognition from clinicians and patients, challenges such as low awareness among healthcare providers and the public persist. Future efforts should focus on strengthening information technology construction, enhancing pharmacist training, and establishing various forms of outpatient pharmaceutical service models.

Objective To determine the content and distribution characteristics of the artificial radionuclide 137Cs and the natural radionuclides 210Pb, 226Ra, 228Ra, and 40K in wild edible fungi, and calculate the committed effective dose due to 137Cs and 210Pb in wild edible fungi. Methods Thirty samples of wild edible fungi were collected and their caps and stems were separated. A total of 60 samples were measured for 137Cs, 210Pb, 226Ra, 228Ra, and 40K using a BE5030 wide-energy, low-background, high-purity germanium γ spectrometer. The paired analysis of the four radionuclides 226Ra, 210Pb, 137Cs, and 40K was performed using SPSS 11.5. Results Among the 60 samples, the detection rates and dry weight specific activity ranges of 137Cs, 210Pb, 226Ra, 228Ra, and 40K were 97% and 0.62-384 Bq/kg, 73% and 6.4-159 Bq/kg, 52% and 0.7-28.8 Bq/kg, 5% and 0.43-2.18 Bq/kg and 100% and (77.4-264) × 10 Bq/kg, respectively. Conclusion Based on the analysis of the 60 samples, the detection rate of radionuclides is in the order of 40K, 137Cs, 210Pb, 226Ra, and 228Ra. In terms of the specific activity, the distribution of 40K and 226Ra in wild edible fungi in the same region is basically uniform, while the content of 210Pb and 137Cs fluctuates in different samples. Although 137Cs and 210Pb can be detected in most of the wild edible fungi, the annual committed effective dose due to ingestion of wild edible fungi is negligible.

Objective To evaluate the value of 68Ga-DOTATATE and 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging in staging and treatment decision for gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms(GEP-NEN).Methods This retrospective analysis was conducted in 49 patients with GEP-NEN undergoing 18F-FDG and 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT imaging at our hospital from August,2020 to March,2023,including 34 newly diagnosed patients and 15 patients with recurrence or metastasis after treatment.GEP-NEN were classified into G1,G2,and G3 neuroendocrine tumors(NET)and neuroendocrine carcinomas(NEC)based on pathological typing.The detection efficiency were classified into 4 patterns based on the number of positive tumor lesions detected by the two tracers:68Ga-DOTATATE>18F-FDG(A);68Ga-DOTATATE=18F-FDG(B);68Ga-DOTATATE<18F-FDG(C);and complementation(D).The value of dual-modality imaging in staging and treatment decision were evaluated by visual analysis.Results In the 49 patients with GEP-NEN,68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT was superior to 18F-FDG PET/CT for detecting systemic tumor lesions(P<0.001)and more sensitive for detecting primary/recurrent lesions,lymph node metastasis,liver metastasis,and bone metastasis(P<0.05),while 18F-FDG PET/CT had higher detection rates for lung metastasis and peritoneal metastasis(P<0.05).In terms of the detection efficiency,Pattern A was found in 46.9%(23/49)patients,Pattern B in 38.8%(19/49),Pattern C in 12.2%(6/49),and Pattern D in 2.0%(1/49).The complementary value of 18F-FDG PET/CT to 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT was 0%in G1 NET patients(0/13),8.3%in G2 NET patients(2/24),50%in G3 NET patients(3/6),and 33.3%in NEC patients(2/6).12.2%(6/49)of the patients had their staging confirmed or changed due to additional lesions detected by 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging,resulting subsequently in establishment or adjustment of their treatment plans.Conclusion 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT imaging should be the primary choice for GEP-NEN patients.Additional 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging can potentially improve precision of staging and treatment decision-making for G2,G3 and NEC patients but provides virtually no clinical benefits for G1 NET patients.

Journal of Geriatric Cardiology 2025;22(2):246-254
BACKGROUND:
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac arrhythmia in the elderly. This study aimed to evaluate urban-rural disparities in its prevalence and management in elderly Chinese.
METHODS:
Consecutive participants aged ≥ 65 years attending outpatient clinics were enrolled for AF screening using handheld single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) from April 2017 to December 2022. Each ECG rhythm strip was reviewed from the research team. AF or uninterpretable single-lead ECGs were referred for 12-lead ECG. Primary study outcome comparison was between rural and urban areas for the prevalence of AF. The Student's t-test was used to compare mean values of clinical characteristics between rural and urban participants, while the Pearson's chi-square test was used to compare between-group proportions. Multivariate stepwise logistic regression analysis was performed to estimate the association between AF and various patient characteristics.
RESULTS:
The 29,166 study participants included 13,253 men (45.4%) and had a mean age of 72.2 years. The 7073 rural participants differed significantly (P ≤ 0.02) from the 22,093 urban participants in several major characteristics, such as older age, greater body mass index, and so on. The overall prevalence of AF was 4.6% (n = 1347). AF was more prevalent in 7073 rural participants than 22,093 urban participants (5.6% vs. 4.3%, P < 0.01), before and after adjustment for age, body mass index, blood pressure, pulse rate, cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption and prior medical history. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified overweight/obesity (OR = 1.35, 95% CI: 1.17-1.54) in urban areas and cigarette smoking (OR = 1.62, 95% CI: 1.20-2.17) and alcohol consumption (OR = 1.42, 95% CI: 1.04-1.93) in rural areas as specific risk factors for prevalent AF. In patients with known AF in urban areas (n = 781) and rural areas (n = 338), 60.6% and 45.9%, respectively, received AF treatment (P < 0.01), and only 22.4% and 17.2%, respectively, received anticoagulation therapy (P = 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
In China, there are urban-rural disparities in AF in the elderly, with a higher prevalence and worse management in rural areas than urban areas. Our study findings provide insight for health policymakers to consider urban-rural disparity in the prevention and treatment of AF.
