ObjectiveTo investigate the present situation of input, output, outcome and impact of all registered community-based rehabilitation stations in Inner Mongolia in China, and analyze how the input predict the output, outcome and impact. MethodsFrom March 1st to April 30th, 2025, a questionnaire survey was conducted on all registered community-based rehabilitation stations in Inner Mongolia, covering four dimensions: input, output, outcome and impact. A total of 1 365 questionnaires were distributed. The input included four items: laws and policies, human resources, equipment and facilities, and rehabilitation information management. The output included two items: technical paths and benefits/effectiveness. The outcome included three items: coverage rates, rehabilitation interventions and functional results. The impact included two items: health and sustainability. Each item contained several questions, all of which were described in a positive way. Each question was scored from one to five. A lower score indicated that the situation of the community-based rehabilitation station was more in line with the content described in the question. Regression analysis was performed using the total score of each item of input dimension as independent variables, and the total scores of the output, outcome and impact dimensions as dependent variables. ResultsA total of 1 262 valid questionnaires were collected. The mean values of input, output, outcome and impact of community-based rehabilitation stations were 1.827 to 1.904, with coefficient of variation of 45.892% to 49.239%. The regression analysis showed that, rehabilitation information management, human resources, and laws and policies significantly predicted the output dimension (R² = 0.910, P < 0.001). Meanwhile, all four items in the input dimension predicted both the outcome (R² = 0.850, P < 0.001) and impact dimensions (R² = 0.833, P < 0.001). ConclusionInput, output, outcome and impact of the community-based rehabilitation stations in Inner Mongolia were generally in line with the content of the questions, although some imbalances were observed. Additionally, the input of community-based rehabilitation stations could significantly predict their output, outcome and impact.

Objective: To construct gene recombinant expression plasmids of human anti-P antibody with IgG1 and kappa chain based on the human hybridoma cell line. Methods: Starting from the specific RT-PCR products encoding the variable regions of the IgH chain and IgL chain of the anti-P monoclonal cell line, appropriate restriction enzyme digestion sites were introduced at both ends of the VH and VL fragments through nested PCR. The plasmids carrying the antibody constant region and the nested PCR products of VH and VL were ligated by the action of T4 ligase and subsequently transferred into competent E. coli DH5ɑ, and positive clones were selected in the antibiotic resistant LB medium. After sequence confirmation, recombinant plasmids DNA were transfected into HEK293T cells, and the recombinant antibody obtained in the culture supernatant. The characteristics of recombinant expression antibodies were determined by using rapid antibody isotying kit, serological agglutination tests and flow cytometry. Results: Recombinant gene expression vectors, pFUSEss-CHIg-hG1+VH, pFUSE2ss-CLIg-hκ+VL, were successfully constructed. Human IgG1 kappa light chain antibodies were detected in the supernatant of HEK293T cells transient transfected with recombinant plasmids. After the supernatant was ultra-filtered and concentrated, it could cause agglutination reactions with P antigen-positive red blood cells. The mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of the reaction between recombinant antibodies and antigen-positive red blood cells in flow cytometry experiments was higher than that of antigen-negative red blood cells. Conclusion: The experimental study on the conversion of red blood group antibody types by genetic engineering technology represents a beneficial exploration towards establishing a feasible technical route for the development of genetic recombination and modification of antibodies reagent.

From the theoretical perspective of "body fluids and blood stasis mixing", environmental microplastics (MPs) are conceptualized as a "novel turbid-toxin". This study aims to elucidate the complete pathogenic pathway through which MPs act as a key driving force (the "crucible" of pathogenesis) in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis (AS). By tracing the classical theories in the Chapter The Occurrence of All Diseases of Miraculous Pivot (Ling Shu), this paper clarifies the core connotations of "body fluids"-it not only refers to endogenous pathological fluids and lipid turbidity but also provides a theoretical basis for incorporating "exogenous turbid fluids", thereby laying a logical foundation for conceptualizing MPs as a "novel turbid-toxin". Meanwhile, the implications of "blood" (encompassing both blood quality abnormalities and blood stasis) and the dynamic process of "mixing" are elucidated. Drawing upon modern toxicological evidence, this paper demonstrates the high homology between MPs and "exogenous turbid-fluids" from three aspects: Morphology, toxicity, and invasion routes. The micro/nano-scale particle morphology of MPs enables mobility within the bloodstream. The multiple exposure pathways of MPs correspond to the traditional Chinese medicine understanding of pathogens invading through the mouth, nose, and skin. The characteristics of accumulating in vivo while inducing oxidative stress and inflammatory responses of MPs fully embody the pathogenic features-adhesion, binding, and vessel damage-of "turbid-toxin". On this basis, the dynamic pathogenesis of MP-induced AS is systematically interpreted. Initially, MPs with the "turbid-toxin" nature impair nutrient-defense harmony and cause endothelial dysfunction. Subsequently, as the core of "mixing", they interact with blood lipids and immune cells, generating heat and phlegm to form a major pathological hub of chronic inflammation. Ultimately, this process drives the coalescence of phlegm, stasis, and turbid-toxin into tangible plaques, evolving from stable lesions to vulnerable masses and accumulations. By integrating classical pathogenic model with contemporary environmental medicine, this study establishes an analytical framework that bridges macro-theory and micro-mechanisms for understanding the cardiovascular risks of MPs through an integrative Chinese-Western medicine lens.

ObjectiveTo investigate the potential mechanism of Yiqi Yangyin Huoxue Formula (益气养阴活血方, YYHF) in the treatment of membranous nephropathy (MN) based on the NOX4-mediated stromal cell-derived factor-1α(SDF-1α)/CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) signaling pathway. MethodsA total of 42 male SD rats were randomly divided into blank group (n=6) and modeling group (n=36). The modeling rats were given a single injection of sheep antirat Fx1A (6 ml/kg) serum into the tail vein to establish MN model. Thirty-six rats with successful modeling were further divided into model group (normal saline, 10 ml/kg), benazepril group (10 mg·kg-1·d-1), the medium-dose YYHF group (11.0 g·kg-1·d-1) and high-dose YYHF group (22.0 g·kg-1·d-1), with 9 rats in each group. All groups received daily intragastric administration for 6 consecutive weeks. During the experimental period, the general condition of rats in each group was observed. After gavage administration finished, a fully automated biochemical analyzer was used to measure the 24-hour urine total protein (24 h-UTP) and serum biochemical parameters, including albumin (ALB), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (SCr), total cholesterol (TC), and triglyceride (TG). Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and periodic acid-silver metheramine (PASM) staining were used to observe the histopathological changes of renal tissues in each group of rats. The levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in renal tissues were detected by ELISA. The protein expression levels of NOX4, SDF-1α, CXCR4, Nrf2, nuclear factor kappa B subunit p65 (NF-κB p65) and podocyte slit diaphragm protein nephrin in rat renal tissues were detected by Western Blotting. The mRNA expressions of NOX4, SDF-1α, CXCR4, Nrf2, NF-κB p65 and Nephrin in renal tissues were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). ResultsCompared to the blank group, rats in the model group exhibited typical features of MN, including lethargy, reduced activity, dull and coarse fur, marked edema, and massive proteinuria. Compared to the model group, these abnormal conditions were improved to varying degrees in all treatment groups. The high-dose YYHF group showed a level of improvement comparable to that of the benazepril group, with overall recovery superior to that of the medium-dose YYHF group. Compared to the blank group, the model group showed increased levels of 24 h-UTP, BUN, SCr, TC and TG, decreased level of ALB, increased levels of MDA and protein and mRNA expressions of NOX4, SDF-1α, CXCR4 and NF-κB p65 in renal tissue, along with decreased levels of SOD and protein and mRNA expressions of Nrf2, Nephrin (P<0.01), accompanied by severe renal pathological damage. Compared to the model group, the benazepril and the medium- and high-dose YYHF groups showed significant improvements in the above indicators (P<0.01), along with alleviation of renal pathological injury. The 24 h-UTP level in the high-dose YYHF group was lower than that in the medium-dose group (P<0.01), while no statistically significant difference was observed among the other treatment groups (P>0.01). ConclusionYYHF may alleviate oxidative stress and inflammatory responses by down-regulating the expression of NOX4 and inhibiting the SDF-1α/CXCR4-Nrf2 signaling pathway, thereby improving podocyte damage and protecting renal function.

Objective:To study the epidemic characteristics and healthcare-seeking behavior of dengue fever cases in Zhejiang Province, and to provide a scientific basis for developing dengue fever prevention and control strategies.Methods:Data on dengue fever epidemic in Zhejiang Province from January to December 2024 were collected from the Information System for China Disease Control and Prevention and individual case reports. Descriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the distribution by the three dimensions (time, region, and population), healthcare-seeking behavior, importation sources, and laboratory test results of dengue fever cases in Zhejiang Province.Results:From January to December 2024, Zhejiang Province reported a total of 289 dengue fever cases (including 25 foreigners), with an incidence rate of 0.44/100 000, including one severe case and no death, and 13 were local, 108 were domestically imported, and 168 were internationally imported. The epidemic had affected 70 districts (counties, cities) across all 11 cities in the province. Cases were reported monthly, with the peak incidence concentrated from July to November. The age of dengue fever cases was 38 (30, 48) years old, ranging from 2 to 75 years old, with a higher incidence in the 30 - 39 age group (31.14%, 90/289). The male-to-female ratio was 1.86 ∶ 1.00 (188 ∶ 101). Occupational distribution was predominantly commercial service workers (28.03%, 81/289). The number of healthcare-seeking for local cases was 2 (1, 2) times, ranging from 1 to 6 times. The number of healthcare-seeking for imported cases was 1 (1, 2) times, ranging from 1 to 4 times. The interval between the onset and diagnosis of local cases was 3.5 (1.0, 5.0) days, ranging from 0 to 6 days. The interval between the onset and diagnosis of imported cases was 3(1, 4) days, ranging from 0 to 6 days. Domestically imported cases originated from Guangdong Province (102 cases), Yunnan Province (3 cases), Hunan Province (1 case), with 2 cases had unknown original provinces. Internationally imported cases mainly came from Indonesia (33 cases), Thailand (22 cases), Laos (18 cases). Serotyping of dengue virus was determined for 283 cases, with 157 cases of type Ⅰ, 88 cases of type Ⅱ, 34 cases of type Ⅲ, and 4 cases of type Ⅳ.Conclusions:The dengue fever cases in Zhejiang Province in 2024 is primarily international importation, the interval between the onset and diagnosis of local cases is relatively long. Prevention and control efforts should strengthen surveillance and early warning based on dengue fever's epidemic characteristics, and reinforcing port quarantine, mosquito vector control, and health education for high-risk populations.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of immunoadsorption with protein A column(PA-IA) in refractory anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis in children.Methods:The clinical data of 8 children with anti-NMDAR encephalitis who failed to receive first-line treatment from January 2022 to June 2023 in PICU of Xi'an Children's Hospital were retrospectively collected.Clinical features,modified Rankin score (mRS),anti-NMDAR antibody titers in serum and cerebrospinal fluid(CSF),cells count in CSF,protein level in CSF,serum IgG,complement C3,C4 level were analyzed before and after immunoadsorption therapy. All adverse events that occurred during treatment were recorded in detail.Result:Among the 8 children,there were 5 males and 3 females,aged 5 to 12 years old,and each patient was immunized 6 to 10 times,and 75 times of PA-IA treatment were performed. The mRS score decreased in 8 children after PA-IA treatment. Blood IgG level,CSF cell number,protein level in CSF,blood complement C3 and C4 levels,and antibody titers related in blood and CSF were all lower than those before PA-IA treatment. The differences were all statistically significant ( P<0.001).During 75 times of treatment,only 1 case of membrane rupture occurred during treatment,the treatment was stopped and continued after the plasma separator was replaced,with no other adverse reactions. Conclusion:PA-IA could effectively improve the clinical symptoms and neurological function of children with refractory anti-NMDAR encephalitis with good safety,but its exact efficacy in children with anti-NMDAR encephalitis needs to be verified by prospective studies with larger samples.
