ObjectiveThis paper aims to explore the risk factors for chronic atrophic gastritis （CAG） with turbidity toxin accumulation syndrome and establish a prediction model. MethodsClinical data of 180 patients with CAG who participated in the "clinical study of Xianglian Huazhuo Particles blocking CAG cancer transformation" of Hebei Sheng Zhong Yi Yuan from July 2021 to March 2022 were collected. After confounding factors were controlled by propensity score matching， patients were divided into a training set （namely dev） and a validation set （namely vad） in a seven to three ratio. The risk factors for CAG with turbidity toxin accumulation syndrome in the training set were investigated by using univariate Logistic regression analysis and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator （namely Lasso） regression algorithms. Subsequently， a model， named model 1se， was developed by using the training set data to predict the risk factors for CAG with turbidity toxin accumulation syndrome. The accuracy of the prediction model was assessed by using various methods， including the receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve， Hosmer-Lemeshow test （H-L）， calibration plot， and decision curve analysis （DCA）. ResultsAge， body mass index （BMI）， family history of cancer， job and life satisfaction， yellow and greasy fur with slippery pulse， and heavy body sensation were independent risk factors of the model. The prediction model showed excellent predictive value for both the training and validation sets. ConclusionThe established prediction model for CAG with turbidity toxin accumulation syndrome has high discrimination and excellent calibration， which could provide an excellent clinical basis for disease diagnosis and individualized treatment of patients.

Recently， Gastroenterological Society of Australia convened a multidisciplinary group and applied a modified Delphi process to develop the first Australian consensus statement on the application of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt （TIPS） in portal hypertension. To address the current issues of insufficient application and a lack of standardized protocols for TIPS in Australia， this consensus provides evidence-based recommendations across the key domains of preoperative preparation and assessment for TIPS， surgical standards， postoperative care and follow-up， and specific clinical indications， in order to provide standardized guidance for the comprehensive management of TIPS in liver disease patients with portal hypertension. This article gives an excerpt of the key statements in the consensus.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism by which Xianglian Huazhuo prescription （XLHZ） ameliorates chronic atrophic gastritis （CAG） through regulating glycolysis via the microRNA-34b-5p （miR-34b-5p）/6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2，6-bisphosphatase 1 （PFKFB1） signaling pathway. MethodsBioinformatic screening was performed to identify the target genes of miR-34b-5p. In the animal experiments， a mouse model of CAG was established through a combination of N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine （MNNG）， ranitidine， and irregular feeding. The mice were randomized into the following groups： normal， model， Morodan group （2 g·kg^-1）， and high-， medium-， and low-dose XLHZ groups（7.2，3.8，1.9 g·kg^-1）. In the cell experiments， GES-1 cells were treated with MNNG for the modeling of CAG and grouped as follows： GES-1， MNNG+GES-1， MNNG+GES-1+XLHZ（10%）， MNNG+GES-1+miR-34b-5p mimics， MNNG+GES-1+miR-34b-5p inhibitor， MNNG+GES-1+PFKFB1 inhibitor， and MNNG+GES-1+PFKFB1 mimics+XLHZ（10%）. The general conditions of mice were observed. Real-time PCR was adopted to measure the expression levels of miRNA-34b-5p and PFKFB1 mRNA in the gastric mucosa of mice in each group. Dual luciferase reporter gene was used to verify the targeting interaction between miR-34b-5p and PFKFB1 in GES-1 cells exposed to MNNG. The cell-counting kit-8 （CCK-8） was used to screen the drug-containing serum concentration. Real-time PCR was employed to verify the transfection efficiency. Fluorescent probes were used to detect the expression and nuclear translocation of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α （HIF-1α） in each group of cells. The protein levels of HIF-1α， hexokinase 2 （HK2）， PFKFB1， phosphofructokinase 1 （PFK1）， and lactate dehydrogenase （LDHA） in the gastric mucosa of mice were determined by Western blot. The levels of glucose consumption and lactate in the serum and cells were measured by biochemical methods. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was adopted to measure the content of adenosine triphosphate （ATP） in the gastric mucosa tissue and cells. ResultsThe animal experiments showed that compared with the normal group， the model group exhibited symptoms including mental fatigue， lethargy， sparse and dull fur， a tendency to curl up， sluggish responses， reduced food and water intake， and slow body weight gain. In addition， the model group showed decreased expression of miRNA-34b-5p （P<0.01）， increased mRNA level of PFKFB1 （P<0.01）， upregulated protein levels of HIF-1α， HK2， PFKFB1， PFK1， and LDHA （P<0.01）， and increased glucose consumption， lactate content， and ATP content （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the XLHZ group and Morodan group showed improved mental state， gradually improved fur， increased activity， food and water intake， and body weight. HE showed that each treatment group exhibited well arranged and increased gastric mucosal glands， reduced inflammatory cells， and recovered gastric pits. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the size of mitochondria in each treatment group returned to normal， with no obvious irregular shape， complete and clear cristae， and uniform matrix. Furthermore， each treatment group showed increased expression of miRNA-34b-5p （P<0.05）， reduced mRNA level of PFKFB1 （P<0.05）， downregulated protein levels of HIF-1α， HK2， PFKFB1， PFK1， and LDHA （P<0.05）， and decreased glucose consumption， lactic acid， and ATP （P<0.05）. The cell experiments showed that the expression and nuclear translocation of HIF-1α were reduced in all groups after treatment （P<0.05）. The cell transfection efficiency was satisfactory （P<0.05）. miR-34b-5p exhibited an effect comparable to that of XLHZ， effectively inhibiting glycolysis， whereas PFKFB1 promoted glycolysis and reversed the protective effect of XLHZ in CAG mice （P<0.05）. ConclusionXLHZ could regulate the miR-34b-5p/PFKFB1 axis to inhibit glycolysis， thereby ameliorating MNNG-induced gastric mucosal atrophy.

Objective: To assess parental expectations for the development of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and identify factors associated with these expectations, so as to provide references for improving rehabilitation outcomes and long term development in children with ASD. Methods: From June 2024 to January 2026, a total of 877 children with ASD and their parents were recruited from 27 rehabilitation institutions in Hefei. The children had been diagnosed by chief physicians at tertiary level hospitals. Demographic characteristics and data on parental expectations were collected by the Parental Expectations Questionnaire. Differences in parental expectations between groups were assessed using the Mann-Whitney U- test and Kruskal-Wallis H-test, and associated factors were examined using quantile regression. Results: The mean item score for overall parental expectations among parents of children with ASD was (4.55±0.47), and scores for all dimensions were higher than those among parents of typically developing children ( t =11.11-31.14, all P <0.01). Child age, school enrollment, and maternal personality were associated with daily living expectation scores, learning and special talents and strengths expectation scores, and special talents and strengths expectation scores, respectively ( H =6.16-8.18, all P <0.05). Parents of preterm children had higher expectations for social interaction, physical and mental well being, and daily living than parents of non-preterm children ( Z =-2.56, -2.48, -2.39, all P <0.05). Multivariate quantile regression analysis showed that children’s age was associated with the expected level of self care ability; school enrollment status was associated with the expected level of learning and specialty strengths; maternal personality was associated with the expected levels of social competence, physical and mental health, self care ability, and specialty strengths; parental age was associated with the expected levels of physical and mental health and specialty strengths; and parental educational attainment was associated with the expected level of self care ability ( β =-0.36-0.41, all P <0.05). Conclusion Parents of children with ASD in Hefei generally have high expectations for their children s development across the domains of learning, daily living, social interaction, and physical and mental well being.

The theory of " Sui Qi Suo De" originates from Zhang Zhongjing's Jin Gui Yao Lue and has been further developed by later generations of practitioners, offering significant guidance for clinical practice. Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are common malignant disorders of the hematopoietic system, characterized by high heterogeneity and progressive mutational changes. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), MDS falls under the category of "marrow toxin exhaustion". This article applies the theory of " Sui Qi Suo De" in TCM to analyze the pathophysiological changes during different stages of MDS. Specifically, it explores the precursor stage (focusing on health maintenance and prevention before illness, addressing the " Suo De" of "gradual decline of vital qi"), the low-risk stage (strengthening the spleen and kidneys, clearing toxic pathogens, addressing the " Suo De" of "weakened vital qi invaded by pathogens"), and the medium-to-high-risk stage (detoxifying and reinforcing the body, harmonizing physical and mental health, addressing the " Suo De" of "dominant pathogens and declining vital qi"). The goal is to provide new directions and theoretical insights for the TCM treatment of MDS.

Objective To investigate the research competency among undergraduate interns of rehabilitation therapy.Methods In July,2024,a total of 81 undergraduate rehabilitation therapy interns from Department of Rehabilitation Medicine,Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital were self-rated the research competency,using research com-petency and activities,level 1 of World Health Organization rehabilitation competency framework.Semi-struc-tured interviews were conducted to investigate the willingness and difficulties to participate in research.Results The self-rated competencies were the lowest in behavior of C2.3 Assists in assessing rehabilitation service user needs and priorities for research,and Activity of A2 Disseminating evidence.For interviews,72 students would participate in researches,primarily motivated by career advancement and postgraduate admission competition.The main difficulties included insufficient faculty mentorship(n=48),limitation in knowledge(n=43)and diffi-culties in formulating scientific questions(n=43).Conclusion Most rehabilitation therapy undergraduates would like to participate in researches,but are suboptimal in re-search competency due to personal and environmental constraints.

Objective To assess the global and Chinese disease burden of early-onset lung cancer(di-agnosed in patients aged 15-49 years)and its major risk factors.Methods Based on the GLOBOCAN 2022 and Global Burden of Disease(GBD)2021 datasets,we evaluated the disease burden and associated risk fac-tors of early-onset lung cancer globally and in China,stratified by age,sex,geographic location,and human development index(HDI).Key indicators included age-standardized incidence rate(ASIR),age-standardized mortality rate(ASMR),and disability adjusted life years(DALYs)attributable to risk factors.Results In 2022,there were 137 705 new cases and 72 646 deaths from early-onset lung cancer globally,with ASIR and ASMR of 3.43 per 100 000 and 1.82 per 100 000 population,respectively.The disease burden was higher in males than in females(ASIR:3.72 per 100 000 vs.3.14 per 100 000;ASMR:2.31 per 100 000 vs.1.33 per 100 000).High-HDI regions exhibited the highest ASIR(5.51 per 100 000)and ASMR(2.57 per 100 000),with health inequality analysis revealing a concentration of disease burden in higher-HDI areas.China bore the heaviest burden,accounting for 48.69%of global new cases and 35.77%of deaths.China's ASIR(8.21 per 100 000)and ASMR(3.17 per 100 000)exceeded global averages,with incidence higher in fe-males(8.78 per 100 000 vs.7.67 per 100 000)but mortality higher in males(4.01 per 100 000 vs.2.29 per 100 000).Smoking and ambient particulate matter pollution were the leading risk factors globally(DALYs contribution:42.01%and15.62%)and in China(DALYs contribution:46.78%and 20.84%).Globally,household air pollution ranked third,whereas in China,secondhand smoke replaced it as the third leading risk factor,with household air pollution dropping to fifth.Risk factor profiles varied significantly across age groups,with modifiable risks contributing less to disease burden in the 15-24 age group.Conclusions The burden of early-onset lung cancer varies markedly by sex,region,and HDI,with China facing a disproportionately high burden.Policymakers should prioritize equitable resource allocation and targeted interventions,particularly in tobacco control and air pollution mitigation,to enhance cancer prevention and control efforts.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease(CJD)is a rapidly progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by prions,with certain infectivity and iatrogenic transmission risks.With the rapid progress and application of new dia-gnostic biomarkers and detection methods,as well as the construction and improvement of surveillance and reporting systems,the detection of CJD in patients domestically and internationally has shown an increasing trend year by year.Due to its long incubation period and heterogeneity of early symptoms,early identification and diagnosis of the disease is difficult,increasing the risk of transmission within medical institutions.Currently,there is a lack of con-sensus on the infection prevention and control of CJD.In order to timely identify and diagnose CJD as well as effec-tively block its transmission in medical institutions,this consensus summarizes 15 clinical concerns and formulates 24 specific recommendations based on the latest domestic and international research findings and clinical evidence,as well as combines with clinical practice,aiming to standardize healthcare-associated infection prevention and control measures for CJD and reduce its transmission risk in medical institutions.
