Objective To explore the effect of meditative training combined with positive psychological intervention on pain,fatigue and sleep disorders in gastric cancer patients undergoing postoperative chemotherapy.Methods A total of 120 patients who underwent postoperative chemotherapy for gastric cancer in our hospital from August 2021 to August 2022 were randomly divided into control group and combination group,with 60 cases in each group.Positive psychological intervention was applied in both groups,and the combination group additionally received meditative training.The scores of pain,fatigue and sleep disorders,psychological distress,self-care ability and quality of life were compared between the two groups.Results After intervention,the scores of pain,fatigue,sleep disorders,physical quality,emotion,reality,family and spiritual/religious beliefs were significantly decreased in both groups,and the scores in the combined group were lower than those in the control group(all P<0.05).After intervention,the scores of self-concept,responsibility,nursing skills,health cognition,psychology,body,society,symptom and side effects,and specificity were significantly increased in both groups,and the scores in the combined group were higher than those in the control group(all P<0.05).Conclusion The meditation training combined with positive psychological intervention can significantly improve the scores of pain,fatigue and sleep disorders,psychological distress,self-care ability and quality of life in gastric cancer patients undergoing postoperative chemotherapy.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis （IPF） is a chronic interstitial lung disease characterized by dyspnea and progressive deterioration of lung function， which significantly impacts patients' quality of life and imposes a major burden on society. Although modern medicine has increasingly enriched the treatment options for pulmonary fibrosis， unfavorable factors such as high costs and significant side effects contribute to the persistently low survival rate of patients. Studies have shown that the occurrence and development of pulmonary fibrosis are closely related to abnormalities in multiple pathways. Among these， Rho/Rho-associated coiled-coil protein kinase （ROCK） plays a key role in the disease progression of IPF by regulating the cytoskeleton. This pathway not only transmits biochemical molecular signals that promote the progress of fibrosis but also responds to the biomechanical environment， such as the increased lung tissue stiffness caused by the deposition of extracellular matrix （ECM） during the process of pulmonary fibrosis. Therefore， research on this pathway is of great significance for the prevention and treatment of IPF. In recent years， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has shown remarkable effects in preventing and treating IPF. Many TCM compounds and active components can reduce the production of α-smooth muscle actin （α-SMA）， CollagenⅠ （ColⅠ）， ColⅢ， and inflammatory factors in lung tissue by regulating the Rho/ROCK signaling pathway. These compounds inhibit the transformation of fibroblasts （FBs） into myofibroblasts （MyoFBs）， intervening in the process of pulmonary fibrosis. Based on this， the article briefly reviews relevant research from recent years， discusses the key role of the Rho/ROCK pathway in pulmonary fibrosis from an interdisciplinary perspective， and summarizes the mechanisms through which TCM regulates Rho/ROCK to prevent and treat IPF， based on resources from PubMed， CNKI， and other databases， in order to provide important references for the broader clinical application of TCM in the prevention and treatment of IPF.

The study aims to investigate the impacts of prolyl oligopeptidase (POP) on the replication of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) in BHK-21 cells. Firstly, the effects of FMDV replication on POP expression in BHK-21 cells were analyzed by Western blotting and Real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Secondly, a eukaryotic expression plasmid for POP was constructed, and the effects of POP overexpression on the replication of two different serotypes of FMDV were assessed by Western blotting, RT-qPCR, and virus titer assays. Thirdly, specific small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) targeting POP were synthesized, and their efficiency in interfering with endogenous POP expression was identified by RT-qPCR. The impacts of downregulating endogenous POP expression on FMDV replication were further evaluated by Western blotting, RT-qPCR, and virus titer assays. The results indicated that FMDV infection did not significantly affect POP expression in BHK-21 cells. Overexpression of POP dose-dependently enhanced the replication of both FMDV/O and FMDV/A serotypes. Conversely, siRNA-mediated downregulation of endogenous POP expression markedly suppressed FMDV/O replication. This study is the first to demonstrated that the role of the host POP protein in promoting FMDV replication in BHK-21 cells, thereby providing a critical theoretical foundation and potential molecular targets for developing efficient candidate cell strains for foot-and-mouth disease inactivated vaccines.

Solitary fibrous tumors（SFT）is rare Mesenchymal tissue tumor，originally identified and usually found in the pleura，but the incidence of SFT in the spermatic cord is particularly rare.This article reported a case of a 37-year-old patient who was admitted for a right inguinal mass over the past 2 years. Preoperative MR examination showed a right spermatic cord-derived mass. Under spinal anesthesia，excision of the right spermatic cord mass was performed. Postoperative pathological diagnosis was spermatic cord solitary fibrous tumor. Twelve months of follow-up revealed no metastasis and recurrence on imaging examination. Solitary fibrous tumors of the spermatic cord are rare and require a combination of pathological examination and immunohistochemistry to confirm the diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is confirmed，tumor resection should be performed as soon as possible，and benign lesions are also at risk of recurrence，and long-term follow-up is required after surgery.

Objective:To investigate the changes in sympathetic nerve activity after lower limb immobilization and the role of sympathetic nerve in regulating disuse atrophy of skeletal muscles.Methods:The experiment was divided into the following 3 parts: ① Twelve 8-week-old male C57 mice were randomly divided into a blank control group and a hind limb fixation group ( n=6). The blank control group received no intervention while the hind limb fixation group received splint fixation of the hind limbs for 2 weeks before the musculoskeletal multi-dimensional characterization was completed at the behavioral, pathological and molecular levels. ② Thirty-six 8-week-old male C57 mice were selected and randomly divided into a control group and 5 hind limb fixation groups (for 1, 3, 5, 7 and 14 days) ( n=6). The control group was fed normally until 14 days without any intervention while the 5 hind limb fixation groups were sampled after fixation for 1, 3, 5, 7 and 14 days, respectively. The level of norepinephrine in the serum and the expression level of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), a marker of sympathetic nerve activity in the paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus (PVN), were detected to observe the plasticity of sympathetic nerve activity. ③ Eighteen 8-week-old male C57 mice were selected and randomly divided into a blank control group, a hind limb fixation group and a hind limb fixation plus medication group ( n=6). The blank control group received no intervention while the 2 fixation groups were injected with phosphate buffer (PBS) and propranolol hydrochloride solution for 2 consecutive weeks, respectively. The parameters related to the skeletal muscles were compared between the 3 groups. Results:① Compared with the control group, the mass and function of skeletal muscles in the hind limb fixation group were statistically significantly decreased ( P<0.05). ② The levels of serum norepinephrine [(3.27±1.03) ng/mL, (9.21±1.05) ng/mL, (6.36±0.88) ng/mL, (3.84±1.00) ng/mL, and (3.91±0.75) ng/mL] and the PVN TH levels (42.00%±5.38%, 61.67%±5.57%, 55.82%±3.11%, 50.90%±2.53%, and 39.17%±9.07%) in the 5 hind limb fixation groups (for 1, 3, 5, 7 and 14 days) were significantly higher than those in the control group [(1.81±0.72)] ng/mL and 23.33%±5.50%] ( P<0.05). ③ The wet weight of the gastrocnemius muscle [(93.50±4.32) mg] and the cross-section area of the tibial anterior muscle [(1,180.00±95.09) μm 2] in the hind limb fixation plus medication group were increased significantly compared with those in the hind limb fixation group [(80.83±9.99) mg and (907.80±121.00) μm 2] ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Overactivation of the sympathetic nervous system occurs in the mice model of skeletal muscle disuse atrophy after hind limb fixation. Inhibition of sympathetic nerve activity may reduce the severity of skeletal muscle atrophy at the lower limbs.

Objective To compare the stress difference of the resin with different thicknesses in the screw access hole using three-dimensional finite element method.Methods A three-dimensional finite element model of the implant at the site of the mandibular first molar was established by computer aided design(CAD)software.A static load of 200 N was applied to the resin models with different thicknesses(1,2,3,4,5 mm)to analyze the effect of thickness on the von Mises stress and shear stress of the resin.Results In a certain range,the maximum von Mises stress and the maximum shear stress of the resin decreased with the increase of the thickness.At the thickness of 1mm,the maximum von Mises stress and shear stress of the resin were 23.85 MPa and 11.82 MPa,respectively.When the thickness was 2 mm,the maximum von Mises stress and shear stress of the resin were 18.75 MPa and 9.73 MPa respectively.At the thickness of 3 mm,the maximum von Mises stress and shear stress of the resin were 17.46 MPa and 9.04 MPa,respectively.When the thickness of the resin was more than 3 mm,the stress on it was in a stable level trend.When the thickness was 4 mm,the maximum von Mises stress and shear stress of the resin were 17.38 MPa and 9.04 MPa,respectively.When the thickness was 5 mm,the maxi-mum von Mises stress and maximum shear stress of the resin were 17.18 MPa and 8.85 MPa,respectively.Conclusion When the res-in reaches a certain thickness,the stress is small and stable.This study provides a new design strategy for reducing the complications after implant restoration caused by stress fatigue of the resin.

Cancer represents a major worldwide disease burden marked by escalating incidence and mortality. While therapeutic advances persist, developing safer and precisely targeted modalities remains imperative. Nanomedicines emerges as a transformative paradigm leveraging distinctive physicochemical properties to achieve tumor-specific drug delivery, controlled release, and tumor microenvironment modulation. By synergizing passive enhanced permeation and retention effect-driven accumulation and active ligand-mediated targeting, nanoplatforms enhance pharmacokinetics, promote tumor microenvironment enrichment, and improve cellular internalization while mitigating systemic toxicity. Despite revolutionizing cancer therapy through enhanced treatment efficacy and reduced adverse effects, translational challenges persist in manufacturing scalability, longterm biosafety, and cost-efficiency. This review systematically analyzes cutting-edge nanoplatforms, including polymeric, lipidic, biomimetic, albumin-based, peptide engineered, DNA origami, and inorganic nanocarriers, while evaluating their strategic advantages and technical limitations across three therapeutic domains: immunotherapy, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. By assessing structure-function correlations and clinical translation barriers, this work establishes mechanistic and translational references to advance oncological nanomedicine development.
