ObjectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of exhalation-inhalation exercise on early pulmonary rehabi-litation for patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease （AECOPD）. MethodsA total of 120 participants with AECOPD were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group， with 60 participants in each group. The control group treated with conventional western medicine， while the treatment group received exhalation-inhalation exercise training on the basis of conventional western medicine treatment， with 30 minutes per session and 5 sessions per week. The course of treatment for both groups was 12 weeks. The primary outcome was the 6-minute walking distance （6MWD）. The secondary outcomes included pulmonary function indexes including forced expiratory volume in one second/forced vital capacity （FEV1/FVC）， percentage of predicted forced expiratory volume in one second （FEV1%） and percentage of predicted forced vital capacity （FVC%）， St.George's Respiratory Questionnaire （SGRQ） score， modified Medical Research Council （mMRC） dyspnea scale score， COPD assessment test （CAT） score， hospital anxiety and depression scale-anxiety subscale ［HADS（A）］ score， and hospital anxiety and depression scale-depression subscale ［HADS（D）］ score. Meanwhile， safety of all participants was recorded and assessed. ResultsDuring the treatment， 12 participants dropped out from both the treatment group and the control group， with 48 participants in each group finally included in the analysis. The 6MWD of both groups after treatment was higher than that before treatment， and the 6MWD of the treatment group was higher than that of the control group （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. After treatment， the SGRQ score， mMRC score and CAT score of the treatment group were lower than those before treatment， while FEV1%， FVC% and FEV1/FVC were higher than those before treatment （P＜0.05）. Moreover， after treatment， the FEV1/FVC of the treatment group was higher than that of the control group， while the SGRQ score， mMRC score and CAT score were lower than those of the control group （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. There was no statistically significant difference in pulmonary function indexes， SGRQ score， mMRC score and CAT score after treatment in the control group （P＞0.05）. No statistically significant difference was observed in HADS（A） score and HADS（D） score after treatment within and between groups （P＞0.05）. The incidence of adverse reactions in the treatment group was 6.25% （3/48）， and 0 in the control group， with no statistically significant difference between groups （P＞0.05）. ConclusionExhalation-inhalation exercise for patients with AECOPD in early pulmonary rehabilitation can improve patients' exercise tole-rance， quality of life， clinical symptoms and pulmonary function， with good safety.

Objective To explore the independent risk factors for complicated coronary heart disease (CHD) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and to construct a risk prediction model. Methods A retrospective study was performed to analyze the clinical data of 308 OSAHS patients who visited Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital from January 2021 to June 2025. The patients were divided into the CHD group (n=80) and non-CHD group (n=228) according to the presence or absence of complicated CHD. Independent risk factors were identified using univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression, and a nomogram prediction model was constructed. The model was evaluated using the calibration curve, Hosmer-Lemeshow test, Decision Curve Analysis (DCA) curve, and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve. Results The incidence of CHD in OSAHS patients was 25.97%. Age, history of hypertension, oxygen desaturation index (ODI), severe polysomnography (PSG) grade, decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, elevated homocysteine, and elevated troponin I were independent risk factors for OSAHS complicated with CHD (P<0.05). The nomogram model demonstrated good calibration (Hosmer-Lemeshow test, P=0.995), and the DCA curve showed high clinical net benefit. The area under the ROC curve was 0.940 (95% CI: 0.908~0.972), with a sensitivity of 0.842 and a specificity of 0.900. Conclusion Age, history of hypertension, ODI, PSG grade, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, homocysteine, and troponin I are independent risk factors for CHD in OSAHS patients. The prediction model constructed based on these factors can provide a reliable tool for clinical nurses to early identify high-risk individuals and formulate targeted intervention strategies.

Lung cancer constitutes the most prevalent and lethal malignant tumor in China. Approximately 85% of lung cancer diagnoses correspond to the non-small cell histological subtype [non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)]. Despite surgery being the mainstay for early-stage disease, postoperative recurrence remains high and adjuvant chemotherapy offers limited benefit. In recent years, targeted therapy has demonstrated substantial advantages in driver mutation-positive NSCLC. To this end, the Lung Cancer Medical Education Committee of the Chinese Medical Education Association developed guidelines based on a systematic review of evidence through November 2025, using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE) approach and a modified Delphi method. Focusing on epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), and addressing ROS proto-oncogene 1 (ROS1), B-Raf proto-oncogene serine/threonine kinase (BRAF) V600E mutation, and mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (MET) exon 14 (METex14) skipping, the guideline covers molecular testing, neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy, perioperative strategies, minimal residual disease monitoring, and postoperative surveillance. It defines testing requirements, specifies stage-directed and subtype-specific treatments, and standardizes minimal residual disease monitoring. These recommendations emphasize precision and feasibility to improve survival and quality of life.

ObjectiveTo investigate the current status of HIV-related health service uptake among cross-border couples (Chinese husbands and Myanmar wives) in Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture (hereinafter referred to as Dehong Prefecture), and to provide evidence for optimizing HIV prevention and control strategies in border areas. MethodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted from September 2022 to September 2023 among 14 662 cross-border couples (Chinese husbands and Myanmar wives) in Dehong Prefecture. Data on sociodemographic characteristics, HIV/AIDS knowledge awareness, and utilization of HIV-related health services within the past year were collected. Multivariable logistic regression was used to analyze factors associated with HIV testing uptake among husbands and wives. ResultsA total of 29 324 individuals (14 662 couples) were included. The overall awareness rate of HIV/AIDS was 82.09%, with the rate among husbands significantly higher than that among wives (85.17% vs. 79.01%, P<0.001). Overall, 94.98% of participants had received at least one HIV-related health service, and the HIV testing rate in the past year was 65.52%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that, compared with participants married for 0‒3 years, those married for 4‒10 years and ≥11 years were more likely to have received HIV testing. The corresponding ORs were 1.344 (95%CI: 1.187‒1.521) and 1.381 (95%CI: 1.211‒1.574) among husbands, and 1.308 (95%CI: 1.155‒1.481) and 1.344 (95%CI: 1.178‒1.533) among wives, respectively. Compared with those holding a marriage certificate, those possessing a border marriage registration certificate were positively associated with HIV testing uptake, with ORs of 1.710 (95%CI: 1.575‒1.857) among husbands and 1.700 (95%CI: 1.565‒1.847) among wives. Compared with illiterate participants, those with primary school education showed lower testing rates, with ORs of 0.738 (95%CI: 0.650‒0.837) among husbands and 0.827 (95%CI: 0.766‒0.891) among wives. Additionally, a history of sexually transmitted diseases (OR=3.656, 95%CI: 1.243‒15.589) and participation in the New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme (OR=1.51, 95%CI: 1.179‒1.935) were independently associated with higher testing rates among husbands. ConclusionThe overall utilization of HIV-related health services among cross-border couples in Dehong Prefecture is satisfactory, but significant gender disparities exist, with foreign wives showing lower rates of knowledge awareness and lower proportions obtaining such knowledge through certain channels compared with their Chinese husbands. Couples with shorter marriage duration, those with primary school education, and those not included in the border marriage registration system are vulnerable groups with lower HIV testing uptake. Future interventions should prioritize cross-border marriage families at the early stage of entry and in the newly married period. Based on the border marriage registration management system and primary healthcare networks, health education and HIV testing services targeting foreign spouses should be strengthened to improve service accessibility and equity.

Objective To investigate whether transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation(TEAS)can improve the muscle strength,endurance and work efficiency of calf muscles in healthy young men,aiming to explore a new method for preventing and combating microgravity-induced muscle atrophy in space environments.Methods 40 healthy young men aged 18-35 years were randomly divided into a Control group(Pseudo Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation)and a Experimental group(Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation)in a 1∶1 ratio,with 20 participants in each group.In the Control group,the indicator light of the stimulator was covered,and the device was turned on,but the electrodes did not contact the skin,The device automatically turned offafter 3 seconds.In the Experimental group,the TEAS device was connected to the current and TEAS intervention was performed.The electrical stimulation waveform was a sperse-dense wave with a frequency of 4/20 Hz,and the intensity was determined by patient tolerance.The acupoints selected for electrical stimulation in both groups were bilateral Zusanli(ST36)、Liangqiu(ST34),Taixi(KI3),and Fuliu(KI7).Zusanli and Liangqiu were paired,and Taixi and Fuliu were paired.The intervention frequency was 30 min/time,1 time/day,6 days/week,for 2 weeks.The relative peak torque at 60°/s,relative peak torque at 180°/s,and average power at 180°/s of the bilateral calf muscles were measured using an isokinetic dynamometer at 0th,7th,and 14d day of the experiment.Results After 1 week of TEAS,compared with Control group,there were no significant changes in the relative peak torque at 60°/s,relative peak torque at 180°/s and average power at 180°/s of the bilateral anterior calf muscles in the Experimental group(all P>0.05);however,compared with Control group,the relative peak torque at 60°/s and the relative peak torque at 180°/s of the bilateral posterior calf muscles in the Experimental group were significantly increased(all P<0.05).After 2 weeks TEAS;compared with the Control group,there were no significant changes in the relative peak torque at 60°/s,relative peak torque at 180°/s and average power at 180°/s of the bilateral anterior calf muscles in the Experimental group(all P>0.05);however,the relative peak torque at 60°/s,relative peak torque at 180°/s,and average power at 180°/s of the bilateral posterior calf muscles were significantly increased in the Experimental group(all P<0.05).Conclusion TEAS of Zusanli,Liangqiu,Fuliu and Taixi acupoints on the lower limbs for 2 weeks can effectively improve the maximum muscle strength,endurance and work efficiency of the posterior calf muscles in healthy young men.

Objective To specifically extract and analyze nascent proteins synthesized by bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs)after transplantation into ischemic hearts using a technique employing mutant methionyl-tRNA synthetase(MetRSL247G)for nascent protein labeling,in order to explore the potential mechanisms of action in BMSCs post-transplantation.Methods Point mutation at position 274 of the MetRS gene in BMSCs was induced via lentiviral infection to enable azidonorleucine(ANL)-mediated labeling of nascent proteins in BMSCs.The labeling efficiency was verified by means of fluorescent non-canonical amino-acid tagging(FUNCAT).Thirty healthy female C57BL/6J mice(8-10 weeks old)were divided into control and experimental groups,with 15 mice in each group.The acute myocardial infarction model was constructed by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery in experimental group,while control mice underwent only thoracotomy without coronary ligation.After modeling,both groups received intramyocardial injections of MetRSL247G-modified BMSCs(MetRSL247G-BMSCs)at 3 different sites in the peri-infarct ischemic region.Mice were intraperitoneally injected with ANL every 6 hours for 4 times on postoperative days 0,2,and 6(n=5 for each time point)respectively,euthanized 24 h after the last injection,and cardiac tissues were isolated.The newly synthesized and labeled proteins produced by BMSCs after transplantation into the myocardium of experimental and control groups were collected,using an enrichment technique for ANL-tagged proteins and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS)analysis.Gene ontology(GO)analysis,Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathway analysis,protein-protein interaction(PPI)analysis,and heatmap visualization analysis were performed to identify differentially expressed proteins at the 3 time points and screen key pathways and genes.Results Under fluorescence microscopy,the MetRSL247G lentivirus-infected BMSCs were observed to be labelled with mCherry signals,confirming the successful construction of the MetRSL247G-BMSCs cell line.Green fluorescent signals were detected only in nascent proteins in culture medium containing both MetRSL247G-BMSCs and ANL,validating the sensitivity and specificity of the labeling method.GO analysis revealed that differentially expressed proteins were primarily involved in basic cellular biological processes such as extracellular exosome formation,extracellular matrix organization,and focal adhesion.KEGG and PPI analyses indicated that the differential proteins were mainly involved in complement and coagulation cascade pathway,actin cytoskeleton regulation pathway,and apoptosis pathway.Heatmap analysis showed significantly upregulated expression of anti-apoptosis and cell adhesion-related factors in experimental group on day 1(P＜0.05),upregulated anti-apoptotic factors,pro-apoptotic factors,and cell adhesion-related factors on day 3(P＜0.05),and upregulated anti-apoptotic factors,cell differentiation-related factors,and cell adhesion-related factors on day 7(P＜0.05)compared with control group.Expression of apoptosis-inducing factor 1 was significantly downregulated on days 1 and 7(P＜0.05).On day 3,most differentially expressed proteins,including anti-apoptosis factors(Protein S100-A11,Clusterin,Gelsolin),pro-apoptosis factor(Cathepsin B),cell differentiation-related factor(Transgelin-2),and cell adhesion-related factors(Cofilin-1,Periostin,Fibronectin)were significantly upregulated(P＜0.05).Conclusions The MetRSL247G mutation enables BMSCs to incorporate ANL and synthesize labeled proteins,confirming the feasibility of this nascent protein labeling technique.Nascent proteins of BMSCs in ischemic myocardium primarily contribute to extracellular exosome secretion and extracellular matrix organization.BMSCs may adapt to and respond to ischemic and hypoxic environments by influencing complement and coagulation cascades,activating inflammatory factors,regulating actin cytoskeleton structure,and modulating apoptosis,thereby maintaining the survival of BMSCs.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of Ilizarov ring external fixation and unilateral rail external fixation in the treatment of infected bone defects following surgery for tibial fractures.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 50 patients with infected bone defects after surgery for tibial fractures, who were admitted to the 940th Hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force of the PLA from August 2019 to November 2021, including 37 males and 13 females, aged 19-59 years [(42.2±8.8)years]. After debridement and osteotomy, 28 patients were treated with Ilizarov ring external fixation (Ilizarov group) and 22 with unilateral rail external fixation (unilateral fixation group). All the patients in the two groups had previously undergone internal fixation with plates or Kirschner wires for tibial fracture before bone transport. Bone transport started at one week for three stages after successful infection control and osteotomy and was conducted. The following parameters were compared between the two groups: frame-wearing time and healing index after bone transport, self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) grade at 6 months after bone transport, Paley score and Association for the Study and Application of the Method of Ilizarov (ASAMI) score at the last follow-up, Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) knee score and Baird-Jackson ankle score on admission, after external fixator removal and at the last follow-up, and incidence of postoperative complications.Results:All the patients were followed up for 28-36 months [(32.5±1.6)months]. There were no significant differences in frame-wearing time or healing index between the two groups after bone transport ( P>0.05). At 6 months after bone transport, the SAS grade in the unilateral fixation group (13 patients with mild anxiety, 8 with moderate anxiety, and 1 with severe anxiety) was better than that in the Ilizarov group (6 patients with mild anxiety, 19 with moderate anxiety, 3 with severe anxiety) ( P<0.01). No significant differences were found in the Paley score or ASAMI score between the two groups at the last follow-up ( P>0.05). There were no significant differences in HSS knee score or Baird-Jackson ankle score between the two groups on admission, after external fixator removal or at the last follow-up ( P>0.05). No significant differences were observed in the incidence of pin tract infection, poor healing, infection in the bone elongation area, or re-fracture between the two groups ( P>0.05). The incidence of postoperative axial deviation was 0 in the Ilizarov group, lower than 18% in the unilateral fixation group (4/22) ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Although Ilizarov ring external fixation and unilateral rail external fixation demonstrate comparable efficacy in the treatment of infected bone defects after surgery for tibial fractures, the former provides superior mechanical stability and postoperative axial deviation correction, while the latter offers advantages in reducing psychological burden and enhancing treatment tolerance.

Objective:To explore the effect and mechanism of CD147 on differentiation of circulating fibrocytes and its pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic function.Methods:Circulating fibrocytes were extracted from peripheral blood of asthma patients,stimu-lated with CD147,and intervened with CD147 antagonist AP-9 or p38/MAPK inhibitor SB203580.Cell viability was detected by CCK-8 method,cell migration was assessed by Transwell method,expressions of collagen type Ⅰ(COL-Ⅰ),CD45 and α-SMA were detected by immunofluorescence staining.Levels of cytokines such as TGF-β1,IL-4,IL-5 and IL-13 were detected by ELISA,and expression levels of COL-Ⅰ,fibronectin(FN),α-SMA,p-TAK1,p-P38 and other proteins were detected by Western blot.Results:Low dose of CD147 increased cell viability of circulating fibrocytes.CD147 significantly promoted migration of circulating fibrocytes and induces their differentiation into myofibrocytes.CD147 significantly increased secretion of cytokines such as TGF-β1,IL-4,IL-5 and IL-13 in circulating fibrocytes.CD147 significantly increased expressions of COL-Ⅰ,FN,α-SMA,p-TAK1,p-P38 in circulating fibrocytes.AP-9 or SB203580 significantly inhibited effect of CD147 on circulating fibrocytes.Conclusion:CD147 can promote proliferation,mi-gration,differentiation and pro-inflammatory and profibrotic function of circulating fibrocytes in vitro,and TAK1-p38/MAPK signaling pathway is involved in CD147-mediated regulation of circulating fibrocytes.

Objective:To explore the effect of Simo decoction improving the low duodenal inflammation and protecting the du-odenal mucosal barrier in rats with functional dyspepsia(FD).Methods:Sixty SD rats were randomly divided into control group(10 rats)and model group(50 rats),and the modeling rats were prepared by multivariate intervention method.After successful modeling,the modeling rats were randomly divided into model group,Simo decoction high-dose,medium-dose,low-dose group and mosapride group,with 10 rats in each group.The high-dose,medium-dose,and low-dose groups of Simo decoction were ga-vage given 5.62 g/kg,2.81 g/kg,and 1.40 g/kg,respectively,and the mosapride group was gavage given 0.305 mg/kg of mosapride,and the control group and model group were gavage given the same amount of distilled water for 14 days.The body weight of rats was observed;gastric emptying rate and small bowel propulsion rate were measured;transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the morphology of duodenal epithelial cells;ELISA detected serum levels of IL-17A and IL-22;Western blot and immunohistochemis-try were used to detect the expressions of protease-activated receptor 2(PAR-2)and tight junction protein(ZO-1,claudin-1)in the duodenum.Results:Compared with the control group,the body weight,gastric emptying rate and small intestinal propulsion rate of the model group were significantly reduced(P<0.01),transmission electron microscopy showed widening of the duodenal epithelial cell space,serum IL-17A and IL-22 levels were significantly increased(P<0.01),the expression of PAR-2 in duodenal tissue was in-creased,and the expressions of ZO-1 and claudin-1 were downregulated(P<0.01).Compared with model group,the gastric emptying rate and small intestinal propulsion rate in Simo decoction high-dose,medium-dose and mosapride group were increased(P<0.05,P<0.01),the contents of IL-17A and IL-22 in serum decreased(P<0.05,P<0.01),and the expression of PAR-2 in duodenal tissues was down-regulated,the expressions of ZO-1 and claudin-1 was significantly increased(P<0.01).The low-dose group of Simo soup could improve weight loss(P<0.01),reduce IL-17A content and PAR-2 expression,and increase ZO-1 and claudin-1 expression(P<0.05,P<0.01),while the effect on other indexes was not obvious.Conclusion:Simo decoction may reduce low-grade duodenal in-flammation to repair the mucosal barrier by down-regulating the levels of IL-17A and IL-22 and the expression of PAR-2,and up-regu-lating the expression of ZO-1 and claudin-1,so as to exert the effect of FD treatment.
