Bone metastases are a common and serious complication of solid tumors such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, and kidney cancer, and occur at a high rate in patients with advanced cancer. This pathological process not only frequently leads to skeletal-related events such as severe bone pain, pathological fractures, spinal cord compression, and hypercalcemia—conditions that severely impact patients’ quality of life—but may also significantly increase the risk of death. Cancer bone metastasis is a complex, multistage cascade involving key steps such as the detachment of tumor cells from the primary tumor, their invasion and entry into the bloodstream, and their colonization, dormancy, and reactivation within the bone microenvironment. In recent years, exercise—as a safe and easily implementable non-pharmacological intervention—has demonstrated significant potential in inhibiting bone metastasis, improving the bone microenvironment, and alleviating related clinical symptoms. Its mechanisms of action may involve multiple levels. First, at the mechanical load level, mechanical signals generated by exercise can directly act on bone cells, inhibiting tumor cell infiltration and colonization by regulating endothelial cell permeability and osteoclast activity. Second, at the endocrine and paracrine levels, exercise can alter the expression profiles of microRNAs (such as miR-486 and miR-34b) carried by extracellular vesicles and particles (EVPs) in the circulation, thereby inhibiting tumor cell proliferation and migration by targeting cell cycle-related genes. Furthermore, exercise can remodel the immune microenvironment, enhance the cytotoxic activity of antitumor immune cells, and improve oxygen supply to tumor tissues, thereby alleviating hypoxia-induced immunosuppression. Finally, at the metabolic intervention level, exercise can induce systemic metabolic reprogramming, increasing the nutritional demands of normal tissues, thereby competing with tumor cells for nutrients and forming a “metabolic barrier” in distal organs such as bones. This article reviews the pathogenesis and classification of bone metastases, including osteolytic, osteogenic, and mixed types, and elaborates in detail on the complex processes by which tumor cells undergo colonization, dormancy, and reactivation within the bone microenvironment. Furthermore, based on a comprehensive analysis of human and animal studies on exercise interventions for bone metastases, this paper highlights the mechanisms by which exercise inhibits tumor formation, growth, and spread through the regulation of mechanical loading, extracellular vesicles and granules, as well as via immune and metabolic pathways, thereby interfering with bone metastasis. However, the array of exercise modalities and intensities available for patients grappling with the challenges of cancer-related bone metastases remains markedly constrained, and the formulation of tailored exercise prescriptions continues to be devoid of robust, evidence-based medical backing. This review aims to explore the effects of exercise on bone health in patients with bone metastases, analyze the factors and considerations that should be taken into account in exercise prescriptions, and provide new theoretical support and insights for developing personalized exercise programs for these patients and further advancing relevant clinical research. Future research directions should include the development of evidence-based, personalized exercise prescriptions and further clarification of the safety boundaries and best practice standards for exercise interventions, thereby promoting the advancement of relevant clinical research and ultimately improving patients’ clinical outcomes and quality of life.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of elastic band three-dimensional correction therapy based on surface electromyography (sEMG) on adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). MethodsFrom March, 2020 to November, 2024, 42 children with AIS in Beijing Bo'ai Hospital were randomly divided into control group (n = 21) and experimental group (n = 21). The control group received Schroth-specific exercise therapy, while the experimental group was analyzed by collecting sEMG signals to determine the three-dimensional elastic band correction training plan, for three months. Before and after treatment, the Cobb angle and the International Scoliosis Research Society Patient Questionnaire 22 (SRS-22) were used for assessment. ResultsOne case dropped out in the control group. Through the analysis of the sEMG results, the final training plan of the experimental group was determined as follows: lateral resistance on the concave side of the main curve, resistance to forward lunges on the concave side and forward flexion and internal rotation of the convex side shoulder, and convex-side knee flexion supporting gluteal bridge. After treatment, the Cobb angle decreased in the experimental group (t = 3.306, P = 0.002), and was less in the experimental group than in the control group (t = -3.102, P = 0.004). The score of mental health of SRS-22 increased in the experimental group (t = -2.161, P = 0.037), and was higher in the experimental group than in the control group (t = 2.873, P = 0.007). The satisfaction was higher in the experimental group than in the control group (t = -4.194, P < 0.001). ConclusionsEMG can provide precise references for the formulation of exercise plans for three-dimensional correction of AIS with elastic bands, which can achieve good correction effects and treatment satisfaction.

Abstract In recent years, the prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents has risen rapidly, posing a serious threat to their physical and mental health. To provide scientific, systematic, and standardized weight management guidance for overweight and obese children and adolescents, the study focuses on the core concept of healthy lifestyle intervention, integrates multidisciplinary expert opinions and research findings,and proposes a comprehensive multidisciplinary intervention framework covering scientific exercise intervention, precise nutrition and diet, optimized sleep management, and standardized psychological support. It calls for the establishment of a multi agent collaborative management mechanism led by the government, implemented by families, fostered by schools, initiated by individuals, optimized by communities, reinforced by healthcare, and coordinated by multiple stakeholders. Emphasizing a child and adolescent centered approach, the consensus advocates for comprehensive, multi level, and personalized guidance strategies to promote the internalization and maintenance of a healthy lifestyle. It serves as a reference and provides recommendations for the effective prevention and control of overweight and obesity, and enhancing the health level of children and adolescents.

On the basis of that the fluorescence wavelength of copper nanoclusters(CuNCs)could cover the entire visible region,multicolor fluorescent CuNCs/starch composites were prepared and applied in fingermark development.With L-glutathione as the reducing agent and protective ligand,blue emissive and orange emissive CuNCs solutions were obtained in alkaline solutions at 90℃and 25℃,respectively.With the aggregation-induced emission effect induced by ethanol as a poor solvent,the fluorescence of orange emissive CuNCs with a higher intensity was achieved in an ethanol-water solution.With ascorbic acid as the reducing agent and 3-mercaptopropionic acid as the protective agent,green emissive CuNCs solution was prepared in an acid solution.Particle morphologies,chemical compositions and optical properties of these three CuNCs above were investigated using physical characterization and spectroscopic analysis,indicating that well-dispersed CuNCs had excellent photoluminescent properties.These CuNCs solutions were combined with starch to form composite powders by simply drying.The influences of the type of CuNCs and the ratio of CuNCs to starch on the emission wavelength and fluorescence intensity of the products were studied.The obtained CuNCs/starch composites could emit blue,green and orange fluorescence under 365 nm ultraviolet light,respectively,which were suitable for fingermark development.Minutiae and partial level-3 features of latent fingermarks could be effectively developed.High-quality fluorescence fingermark images would be captured using appropriate optical filters to eliminate background interference of various substrates.

In this study,indigo-dyed cotton and silk textiles were subjected to simulated aging treatments by ultraviolet light(UV)and hydrochloric acid solution(pH=2)according to the potential preservation environments of ancient textile cultural relics.Scanning electron microscope(SEM)was used for microstructural observation of the simulated textiles,and a combination method of ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS)and portable Raman spectroscopy(P-RS)was developed for detection of indigo dye in cotton and silk textiles before and after aging.The results revealed that,in silk samples after UV aging and acid aging,the indigo dye along with isatin which was the indigo degradation product could be detected by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS,while in cotton samples after UV aging and acid aging,the signal of isatin was less prominent although the characteristic peaks of indigo were detectable.However,the characteristic signals of indigo in both UV-aged and acid aged textiles could be effectively detected by P-RS,which provided a quick and convenient method for detection of indigo dye in textiles.Compared with UV aging and acid aging,acid-aged samples exhibited a more robust signal response to indigo dye,offering a rapid and non-destructive method for indigo detection.The developed UPLC-Q-TOF-MS and P-RS methods could be used in efficient and rapid identification of indigo dye,which hold potential in the preservation and restoration of ancient textile cultural relics.

In the field of substance detection,ion dissociation techniques have become crucial for enhancing qualitative accuracy.By applying external energy to induce dissociation of ions in the substance being analyzed,the internal structural information can be obtained,thereby improving qualitative capabilities.Current research on ion dissociation techniques primarily focuses on tandem mass spectrometry,which typically requires a vacuum environment.However,research on ambient ion dissociation techniques is less developed,with some progress made in the field of tandem ion mobility spectrometry.Recently,the development of field-induced dissociation(FID)in this area has enabled ambient dissociation of various explosive and volatile alcohol ions.Nevertheless,the limitation imposed by the maximum breakdown field of air restricts the energy of the electric field,making it challenging to dissociate ions with high energy requirements,such as those of drugs.To address this issue,in this work,an ambient heat-induced dissociation(HID)technique based on high temperatures was proposed,in which an ambient ion heat-induced dissociation unit was developed and integrated into a home-made ion trap mass spectrometer.Experiments were conducted on four representative drug samples,e.g.methamphetamine,heroin,cocaine,and ketamine.The parent ions mass spectra,low vacuum collision-induced dissociation(CID)mass spectra and ambient HID mass spectra for each sample were obtained.By analyzing and comparing the fragmentation products from ambient and low vacuum dissociation,the feasibility of the ambient HID technique was verified.This technique provided a method for ion dissociation in single mass analyzers without tandem mass spectrometry capability and offered a new research direction for the future development of tandem ion mobility spectrometry.

Objective:To analyze the related factors of membranous urethral length in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and the early recovery of urinary control function after Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP).Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the case data of 124 patients with BPH admitted to the Yan′an University Affiliated Hospital from January 2017 to January 2023. According to the recovery of postoperative urinary control function, the patients were divided into the urinary control group ( n=81) and the urinary incontinence group ( n=43). The clinical data of the two groups of patients were collected, including age, body mass index, comorbidities, etc. The perioperative indicators [including prostate volume, prostatic specific antigen, membranous urethral length, international prostate symptom score (IPSS), maximum bladder capacity, degree of prostate protrusion into the bladder, etc.], the urodynamic indicators before the operation and 6 months after the operation (including maximum urine flow rate, maximum urethral pressure and bladder compliance) and the urinary control situation of the two groups of patients were observed. Measurement data were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( ± s), and the independent sample t-test was used for comparison between groups; count data were expressed as the cases and percentage, and Chi-square test was used for comparison between groups. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to evaluate the influencing factors of early urinary control function recovery after HoLEP. Results:All patients successfully completed the surgery, and the follow-up was conducted 6 months after the operation as the time point. The results of univariate analysis showed that there were no statistically significant differences in age, body mass index, comorbidities, prostatic specific antigen, IPSS score and the degree of prostate protrusion into the bladder between the urinary control group and the urinary incontinence group ( P>0.05). The operation time, indwelling catheter time, prostate volume, preoperative membranous urethral length, postoperative membranous urethral length and the postoperative maximum bladder capacity of the two groups of patients all showed statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). Before the operation, there were no statistically significant differences in urodynamic indicators such as maximum urinary flow rate, maximum urethral pressure and bladder compliance between the two groups of patients ( P>0.05). Six months after the operation, the maximum urinary flow rate, the maximum urethral pressure and the bladder compliance in the two groups of patients increased compared with those before the operation. Moreover, the maximum urinary flow rate [(10.48±0.65) mL/s vs (9.41±0.53) mL/s], the maximum urethral pressure [(41.25±3.46) cmH 2O vs (38.21±3.16) cmH 2O], and bladder compliance [(32.23±3.13) cmH 2O vs (30.23±2.35) cmH 2O] were higher than those in the urinary incontinence group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that operation time ≥1 h, indwelling catheter time ≥5 d, prostate volume ≥60 mL, preoperative membranous urethral length <14 mm, and postoperative membranous urethral length <13 mm were independent risk factors for the recovery of early urinary control function after HoLEP ( OR>1, P<0.05), the maximum bladder capacity after surgery was an independent protective factor for the recovery of early postoperative urinary control function ( OR<1, P<0.05). Conclusions:Preoperative membranous urethral length <14 mm and postoperative membranous urethral length <13 mm are risk factors affecting the recovery of early urinary control function after HoLEP in patients with BPH. A longer membranous urethral length can reduce the risk of postoperative complications and accelerate the recovery of urinary control function in patients.

Objective To examine the changing prevalence and antimicrobial resistance profiles of Burkholderia cepacia in 52 hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021.Methods A total of 9 261 strains of B.cepacia were collected from 52 hospitals between January 1,2015 and December 31,2021.Antimicrobial susceptibility of the strains was tested using Kirby-Bauer method or automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing systems according to a unified protocol.The results were interpreted according to the breakpoints released in the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)guidelines(2023 edition).Results A total of 9 261 strains of B.cepacia were isolated from all age groups,especially elderly patients.The proportion was 11.1％(1 032 strains)in children,significantly lower than the proportion in adults.About half(46.5％,4 310/9 261)of the strains were isolated from patients at least 60 years old and 42.3％(3 919/9 261)of the strains were isolated from young adults.Most isolates(71.1％)were isolated from sputum and respiratory secretions,followed by urine(10.7％)and blood samples(8.1％).B.cepacia isolates were highly susceptible to the five antimicrobial agents recommended in the CLSI M100 document(33rd edition,2023).B.cepacia isolates showed relatively higher resistance rates to meropenem and levofloxacin.However,the resistance rates to ceftazidime,trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole,and minocycline remained below 8.1％.The percentage of B.cepacia strains resistant to levofloxacin was the highest compared to other antibiotics in any of the three age groups(from 12.4％in the patients＜18 years old to 20.6％in the patients aged 60 years or older).Conclusions B.cepacia is one of the clinically important non-fermenting gram-negative bacteria.Accurate and timely reporting of antimicrobial susceptibility test results and ongoing antimicrobial resistance surveillance are helpful for rational prescription of antimicrobial agents and proper prevention and control of nosocomial infections.

Objective To summarize the changing prevalence of carbapenem resistance in Enterobacterales based on the data of CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program from 2015 to 2021 for improving antimicrobial treatment in clinical practice.Methods Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using a commercial automated susceptibility testing system according to the unified CHINET protocol.The results were interpreted according to the breakpoints of the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)M100 31st ed in 2021.Results Over the seven-year period(2015-2021),the overall prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales(CRE)was 9.43％(62 342/661 235).The prevalence of CRE strains in Klebsiella pneumoniae,Citrobacter freundii,and Enterobacter cloacae was 22.38％,9.73％,and 8.47％,respectively.The prevalence of CRE strains in Escherichia coli was 1.99％.A few CRE strains were also identified in Salmonella and Shigella.The CRE strains were mainly isolated from respiratory specimens(44.23±2.80)％,followed by blood(20.88±3.40)％and urine(18.40±3.45)％.Intensive care units(ICUs)were the major source of the CRE strains(27.43±5.20)％.CRE strains were resistant to all the β-lactam antibiotics tested and most non-β-lactam antimicrobial agents.The CRE strains were relatively susceptible to tigecycline and polymyxins with low resistance rates.Conclusions The prevalence of CRE strains was increasing from 2015 to 2021.CRE strains were highly resistant to most of the antibacterial drugs used in clinical practice.Clinicians should prescribe antimicrobial agents rationally.Hospitals should strengthen antibiotic stewardship in key clinical settings such as ICUs,and take effective infection control measures to curb CRE outbreak and epidemic in hospitals.

Objective To characterize the changing species distribution and antibiotic resistance profiles of respiratory isolates in hospitals participating in the CHINET Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Program from 2015 to 2021.Methods Commercial automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing systems and disk diffusion method were used to test the susceptibility of respiratory bacterial isolates to antimicrobial agents following the standardized technical protocol established by the CHINET program.Results A total of 589 746 respiratory isolates were collected from 2015 to 2021.Overall,82.6％of the isolates were Gram-negative bacteria and 17.4％were Gram-positive bacteria.The bacterial isolates from outpatients and inpatients accounted for(6.0±0.9)％and(94.0±0.1)％,respectively.The top microorganisms were Klebsiella spp.,Acinetobacter spp.,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Staphylococcus aureus,Haemophilus spp.,Stenotrophomonas maltophilia,Escherichia coli,and Streptococcus pneumoniae.Each microorganism was isolated from significantly more males than from females(P＜0.05).The overall prevalence of methicillin-resistant S.aureus(MRSA)was 39.9％.The prevalence of penicillin-resistant S.pneumoniae was 1.4％.The prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase(ESBL)-producing E.coli and K.pneumoniae was 67.8％and 41.3％,respectively.The overall prevalence of carbapenem-resistant E.coli,K.pneumoniae,Enterobacter cloacae,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and Acinetobacter baumannii was 3.7％,20.8％,9.4％,29.8％,and 73.3％,respectively.The prevalence of β-lactamase was 96.1％in Moraxella catarrhalis and 60.0％in Haemophilus influenzae.The H.influenzae isolates from children(＜18 years)showed significantly higher resistance rates to β-lactam antibiotics than the isolates from adults(P＜0.05).Conclusions Gram-negative bacteria are still predominant in respiratory isolates associated with serious antibiotic resistance.Antimicrobial resistance surveillance should be strengthened in clinical practice to support accurate etiological diagnosis and appropriate antimicrobial therapy based on antimicrobial susceptibility testing results.
