Background Work alienation is a subjectively negative psychological state characterized by detachment from one's job and its environment. Due to heavy workloads, high-intensity tasks, low compensation, as well as pressures related to promotion, nurses are particularly susceptible to work alienation. Objective To meta-analyze the primary factors affecting work alienation of nurses in China, providing an evidence-based foundation for improving nursing management and nurses' physical and mental health. Methods A systematic search was conducted across multiple databases, including PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, VIP, Wanfang Data, and DBM, for cross-sectional studies on work alienation and its influencing factors among nurses in China published from inception to December 2024. Two researchers independently conducted literature screening, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment for the included studies. Meta-analysis was performed using Stata 15.0 and RevMan 5.4 software. Pooled effect sizes were calculated using either fixed-effects or random-effects models based on the magnitude of heterogeneity. Results A total of 27 studies involving 13 028 nurses were included in the meta-analysis, from which 11 influencing factors of work alienation were identified. The pooled score for work alienation among nurses in China was 34.79 (95%CI: 32.56, 37.01). Subgroup analysis revealed that the emergency department reported the highest score (36.81, 95%CI: 31.64, 41.98), followed by the intensive care unit (34.99, 95%CI: 32.27, 37.72) and internal medicine department (33.90, 95%CI: 29.10, 38.71). Significant factors influencing work alienation included length of work experience [standardized mean difference (SMD)=0.32, 95%CI: 0.02, 0.61], professional title (SMD=0.30, 95%CI: 0.16, 0.44), monthly income (SMD=0.38, 95%CI: 0.14, 0.62), psychological capital (SMD=–0.41, 95%CI:–0.52, –0.29), work stress (SMD=0.54, 95%CI: 0.49, 0.58), attitude toward aggression and violence management (SMD=–0.38, 95%CI:–0.44, –0.32), and organizational climate (SMD=–0.47, 95%CI: –0.57, –0.36) (P <0.05). Sensitivity analysis confirmed the robustness of the meta-analysis results, and no significant publication bias was detected. Conclusion Nurses in China exhibit a high level of work alienation, particularly in high-acuity settings like emergency and intensive care unit departments compared to general departments. Shorter work experience (<5 years), lower professional title, lower monthly income (<5 000 CNY), and greater work stress are positively correlated with work alienation. In contrast, psychological capital, proactive attitudes toward managing aggression and violence, and a supportive organizational climate are negatively correlated. These findings indicate a need for nursing managers to develop targeted strategies based on these multifaceted factors to mitigate alienation among nursing staff.

To explore the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） and integrative TCM-Western medicine approaches in the treatment of diabetic microvascular complications （DMC）， refine key pathophysiological insights and treatment principles， and promote academic innovation and strategic research planning in the prevention and treatment of DMC. The 38th session of the Expert Salon on Diseases Responding Specifically to Traditional Chinese Medicine， hosted by the China Association of Chinese Medicine， was held in Beijing， 2024. Experts in TCM， Western medicine， and interdisciplinary fields convened to conduct a systematic discussion on the pathogenesis， diagnostic and treatment challenges， and mechanism research related to DMC， ultimately forming a consensus on key directions. Four major research recommendations were proposed. The first is addressing clinical bottlenecks in the prevention and control of DMC by optimizing TCM-based evidence evaluation systems. The second is refining TCM core pathogenesis across DMC stages and establishing corresponding "disease-pattern-time" framework. The third is innovating mechanism research strategies to facilitate a shift from holistic regulation to targeted intervention in TCM. The fourth is advancing interdisciplinary collaboration to enhance the role of TCM in new drug development， research prioritization， and guideline formulation. TCM and integrative approaches offer distinct advantages in managing DMC. With a focus on the diseases responding specifically to TCM， strengthening evidence-based support and mechanism interpretation and promoting the integration of clinical care and research innovation will provide strong momentum for the modernization of TCM and the advancement of national health strategies.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a common head and neck malignancy. Approximately 50% to 60% of patients with OSCC are diagnosed at a locally advanced stage (clinical staging III-IVa). Even with comprehensive and sequential treatment primarily based on surgery, the 5-year overall survival rate remains below 50%, and patients often suffer from postoperative functional impairments such as difficulties with speaking and swallowing. Programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) inhibitors are increasingly used in the neoadjuvant treatment of locally advanced OSCC and have shown encouraging efficacy. However, clinical practice still faces key challenges, including the definition of indications, optimization of combination regimens, and standards for efficacy evaluation. Based on the latest research advances worldwide and the clinical experience of the expert group, this expert consensus systematically evaluates the application of PD-1 inhibitors in the neoadjuvant treatment of locally advanced OSCC, covering combination strategies, treatment cycles and surgical timing, efficacy assessment, use of biomarkers, management of special populations and immune related adverse events, principles for immunotherapy rechallenge, and function preservation strategies. After multiple rounds of panel discussion and through anonymous voting using the Delphi method, the following consensus statements have been formulated: 1) Neoadjuvant therapy with PD-1 inhibitors can be used preoperatively in patients with locally advanced OSCC. The preferred regimen is a PD-1 inhibitor combined with platinum based chemotherapy, administered for 2-3 cycles. 2) During the efficacy evaluation of neoadjuvant therapy, radiographic assessment should follow the dual criteria of Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 and immune RECIST (iRECIST). After surgery, systematic pathological evaluation of both the primary lesion and regional lymph nodes is required. For combination chemotherapy regimens, PD-L1 expression and combined positive score need not be used as mandatory inclusion or exclusion criteria. 3) For special populations such as the elderly (≥ 70 years), individuals with stable HIV viral load, and carriers of chronic HBV/HCV, PD-1 inhibitors may be used cautiously under the guidance of a multidisciplinary team (MDT), with close monitoring for adverse events. 4) For patients with a poor response to neoadjuvant therapy, continuation of the original treatment regimen is not recommended; the subsequent treatment plan should be adjusted promptly after MDT assessment. Organ transplant recipients and patients with active autoimmune diseases are not recommended to receive neoadjuvant PD-1 inhibitor therapy due to the high risk of immune related activation. Rechallenge is generally not advised for patients who have experienced high risk immune related adverse events such as immune mediated myocarditis, neurotoxicity, or pneumonitis. 5) For patients with a good pathological response, individualized de escalation surgery and function preservation strategies can be explored. This consensus aims to promote the standardized, safe, and precise application of neoadjuvant PD-1 inhibitor strategies in the management of locally advanced OSCC patients.

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) in differentiating tumor deposits (TDs) from metastatic lymph nodes (MLNs) in rectal cancer. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 70 patients with rectal cancer, including 168 lesions (70 TDs and 98 MLNs confirmed by histopathology), who underwent pretreatment MRI and subsequent surgery between March 2019 and December 2022. The morphological characteristics of TDs and MLNs, along with quantitative parameters derived from DCE-MRI (K trans , kep, and v e) and DWI (ADCmin, ADCmax, and ADCmean), were analyzed and compared between the two groups.Multivariable binary logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were performed to assess the diagnostic performance of significant individual quantitative parameters and combined parameters in distinguishing TDs from MLNs. Results: All morphological features, including size, shape, border, and signal intensity, as well as all DCE-MRI parameters showed significant differences between TDs and MLNs (all P < 0.05). However, ADC values did not demonstrate significant differences (all P > 0.05). Among the single quantitative parameters, v e had the highest diagnostic accuracy, with an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.772 for distinguishing TDs from MLNs. A multivariable logistic regression model incorporating short axis, border, v e, and ADC mean improved diagnostic performance, achieving an AUC of 0.833 (P = 0.027). Conclusion The combination of morphological features, DCE-MRI parameters, and ADC values can effectively aid in the preoperative differentiation of TDs from MLNs in rectal cancer.

Dendritic cells (DCs) serve as the primary antigen-presenting cells in autoimmune diseases, like rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and exhibit distinct signaling profiles due to antigenic diversity. Type II collagen (CII) has been recognized as an RA-specific antigen; however, little is known about CII-stimulated DCs, limiting the development of RA-specific therapeutic interventions. In this study, we show that CII-stimulated DCs display a preferential gene expression profile associated with migration, offering a new perspective for targeting DC migration in RA treatment. Then, saikosaponin D (SSD) was identified as a compound capable of blocking CII-induced DC migration and effectively ameliorating arthritis. Optineurin (OPTN) is further revealed as a potential SSD target, with Optn deletion impairing CII-pulsed DC migration without affecting maturation. Function analyses uncover that OPTN prevents the proteasomal transport and ubiquitin-dependent degradation of C-C chemokine receptor 7 (CCR7), a pivotal chemokine receptor in DC migration. Optn-deficient DCs exhibit reduced CCR7 expression, leading to slower migration in CII-surrounded environment, thus alleviating arthritis progression. Our findings underscore the significance of antigen-specific DC activation in RA and suggest OPTN is a crucial regulator of CII-specific DC migration. OPTN emerges as a promising drug target for RA, potentially offering significant value for the therapeutic management of RA.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of evolocumab combined with atorvastatin on post-percutaneous coronary intervention （PCI） efficacy and coronary microcirculation in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction （STEMI）. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included 194 hospitalized patients with acute STEMI who underwent PCI in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanyang Medical College from Jan. 2022 to Dec. 2024. The patients were divided into control group （100 cases） and combination therapy group （94 cases） according to the different therapy plans. The control group was given Atorvastatin calcium tablets orally， at a dose of 20 mg， once a day. On the basis of the control group， the combination therapy group received an initial injection of Evolocumab injection 140 mg within 24 hours after PCI， followed by subsequent injections every 2 weeks. Both groups received continuous treatment for at least 30 days. Blood lipid indicators [total cholesterol （TC）， triglycerides （TG）， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C） and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol]， inflammation indicators [C-reactive protein （CRP） and interleukin-6 （IL-6）]， vascular Δ 基金项目河南省医学科技攻关计划项目（No.LHGJ20230971） endothelial function and microcirculation indicators [fibrinogen， ankle-brachial index （ABI） and nitric oxide （NO）]， cardiac function indicators [left ventricular ejection （LVEF）， left ventricular end-diastolic diameter and left ventricular end-systolic diameter] before treatment and after 30 days of treatment， as well as the occurrence of adverse reactions during the treatment， were compared between the two groups. RESULTS Before treatment， there were no statistically significant differences in the levels of the indicators of blood lipid， inflammation， vascular endothelial function and microcirculation， and cardiac function between the two groups （P＞0.05）. After 30 days of treatment， the levels of TC， TG， LDL-C， CRP， IL-6 and fibrinogen in both groups were significantly reduced compared to those before treatment within the same group. The levels of NO and LVEF in both groups， as well as ABI in the combination therapy group， were significantly elevated compared to those before treatment within the same group. Moreover， the improvements in the levels of TC， LDL-C， CRP， IL-6， fibrinogen and NO in the combination therapy group were more pronounced than those in the control group during the same period （P＜0.05）. There were no statistically significant differences in the incidence of liver function impairment， gastrointestinal adverse reactions， or the overall incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Compared with atorvastatin alone， evolocumab combined with atorvastatin more effectively reduces the blood lipid levels， improves the inflammatory status， vascular endothelial function and coronary microcirculation in patients with acute STEMI after PCI， while the safety is comparable to that of atorvastatin alone.

The ventral anterior (VA) nucleus of the thalamus is a major target of the basal ganglia and is closely associated with the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Notably, the VA receives direct innervation from the hypothalamic histaminergic system. However, its role in PD remains unknown. Here, we assessed the contribution of histamine to VA neuronal activity and PD motor deficits. Functional magnetic resonance imaging showed reduced VA activity in PD patients. Optogenetic activation of VA neurons or histaminergic afferents significantly alleviated motor deficits in 6-OHDA-induced PD rats. Furthermore, histamine excited VA neurons via H1 and H2 receptors and their coupled hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channels, inward-rectifier K⁺ channels, or Ca²⁺-activated K⁺ channels. These results demonstrate that histaminergic afferents actively compensate for Parkinsonian motor deficits by biasing VA activity. These findings suggest that targeting VA histamine receptors and downstream ion channels may be a potential therapeutic strategy for PD motor dysfunction.
