With the advancement of the “healthy China” strategy and the shift from a disease-centered approach to a people’s health-centered philosophy， smart healthcare， as an emerging technology， has entered the public view and is gradually being applied to address practical health issues. As a key component of smart healthcare， remote monitoring technology， carried by wearable devices and smartphone sensors， has been widely applied in numerous countries worldwide for the entire process of mental health monitoring， prevention， and treatment， demonstrating huge development potential. Taking the European digital health platform RADAR-base as an example， through remote data collection and analysis， remote monitoring technology has not only become a bridge connecting doctors and patients， enabling remote real-time assessment of patient’s health status， but is also becoming an important driving force for the transformation of the European healthcare systems. However， this technology still faces several issues such as low accuracy of monitoring data， ambiguous equipment classification， and induced potential technology anxiety. Using the strengths， weaknesses， opportunities， and threats （SWOT） model for systematic analysis， this paper explored the potential challenges and opportunities of applying remote monitoring technology to mental health issues， providing a reference for the construction of smart mental health technologies.

Abstract The framework of pediatric inactivity triad (PIT) consists of three core factors:exercise deficit disorder, pediatric dynapenia, and physical illiteracy. It emphasizes that physical activity (PA) insufficiency is not a singular phenomenon but rather a vicious cycle resulting from the interaction of multiple factors. Based on the PIT framework, the paper explores its core components and their interrelationships, as well as analyzes the framework s application value and practical implications for improving PA levels among Chinese children and adolescents,to provide a systematic theoretical perspective for analyzing the complex causes of PA insufficiency in children and adolescents, and to offer a scientific basis for developing intervention strategies.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of double-channel core decompression (CD) combined with medullary cavity irrigation with those of simple CD on progression of collapse and clinical outcomes in non-traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 19 patients (30 hips) with non-traumatic ONFH who underwent double-channel CD combined with medullary cavity irrigation and admitted between January 2024 and October 2024 (CD+irrigation group). According to a 1: 2 ratio, 54 patients (60 hips) who underwent simple CD and were matched in terms of age, gender, and body mass index (BMI) were included as the control (CD group). There was no significant difference in baseline data such as age, gender, BMI, affected side, ONFH type, preoperative Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) stage, bone marrow edema stage, visual analogue scale (VAS) score for pain, and Harris score between the two groups ( P>0.05). The postoperative discharge time and occurrence of complications were recorded for both groups. The VAS scores before operation and at discharge after operation were compared, and the differences between pre- and post-operation (change values) were calculated for intergroup comparison. The Harris scores before operation and at discharge and 3 months after operation were also compared. During follow-up, X-ray film, CT, and MRI were performed for reexamination. The ARCO stage and bone marrow edema stage were evaluated at 3 months after operation and compared with those before operation to determine whether there was radiological progression or relief. RESULTS: All incisions in both groups healed by first intention after operation, with no infection, femoral neck fracture, or other operation-related complications. All patients were followed up, and the follow-up time of the CD+irrigation group was (146.8±27.7) days, and that of the CD group was (164.3±48.2) days; there was no significant difference between the two groups ( t=1.840, P=0.069). There was no significant difference in the length of hospital stay between the two groups ( P>0.05). At discharge after operation, the VAS score of the CD+irrigation group was significantly lower than that of the CD group ( P<0.05), and the change value was significantly higher than that of the CD group ( P<0.05). The Harris scores at discharge and 3 months after operation in the CD+irrigation group were significantly higher than those in the CD group ( P<0.05). The Harris score gradually increased with time, and the differences between different time points were significant ( P<0.05). Radiological reexamination showed that there was no significant difference in the ARCO stage and the incidence of radiological progression between the two groups at 3 months after operation ( P>0.05); however, the bone marrow edema stage and the degree of bone marrow edema relief in the CD+irrigation group were better than those in the CD group, with significant differences ( P<0.05). CONCLUSION Double-channel CD combined with medullary cavity irrigation can significantly alleviate hip joint pain and improve joint function in patients with non-traumatic ONFH, reduce the degree of bone marrow edema in the femoral head, and delay the progression of ONFH.

ObjectiveTo assess the therapeutic effectiveness and safety of the traditional Chinese medicine compound Shenlong decoction in addressing the symptoms of pulmonary deficiency and stasis in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis （IPF）. MethodsSixty eligible patients with lung deficiency and collateral stasis syndrome of IPF were randomly assigned to the observation （30 patients） and control groups （30 patients）. All patients underwent standard Western medical therapy. Additionally，the observation group received Shenlong decoction granules，while the control group received a placebo. Both treatments were packaged in four doses of 10.5 g each，taken twice daily for three months. The indexes of the patients during the treatment cycle were observed，and the main indexes include traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome scores and 6 min walk test （6MWT）. The secondary indexes include pulmonary function test ［actual value/expected value of total lung volume （TLC%），actual value/expected value of vital capacity（FVC%），actual/predicted diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide（DLCO%），actual/predicted forced expiratory volume in one second （FEV₁%），and FEV₁/ forced vital capacity （FVC）］，blood gas analysis ［arterial blood diathesis partial pressure of oxygen （PaO₂），partial pressure of carbon dioxide （PaCO₂），and arterial oxygen saturation （SaO₂）］，serum inflammatory factors ［transforming growth factor-β₁ （TGF-β₁），interleukin-4 （IL-4），interleukin-13 （IL-13），interleukin-12 （IL-12），and gamma-interferon （IFN-γ）］，and quality of survival evaluation ［St George's Respiratory Questionnaire （SGRQ） score］. The patients' clinical manifestations were determined at the end of the treatment， and the occurrence of adverse events was recorded. ResultsA total of 53 patients completed the study，comprising 27 in the control group and 26 in the observation group.

Hepatolenticular degeneration, also known as Wilson's disease, is a type of autosomal recessive genetic disorder of copper metabolism. The causative gene, ATP7B, is located on the long arm of chromosome 13 and encodes a P-type ATPase that is involved in copper transport. Pathogenic mutations in the ATP7B gene sequence lead to the diminished or lost function of the ATP7B protein, resulting in pathological copper deposition in organs such as the liver, brain, kidneys, and cornea. Currently, the treatment of Wilson's disease primarily involves oral medications to promote copper excretion or reduce copper absorption so as to alleviate the state of illness. However, pharmacological treatment has objective limitations, including the need for lifelong therapy and varying degrees of adverse drug reactions in some patients. Gene therapy can fully correct the genetic defect, restore ATP7B protein function, achieve a curative effect, and improve the patient's quality of life.

Objective To evaluate the drug-loading performance,biocompatibility,bone tissue compati-bility,and therapeutic efficacy of vancomycin(VA)-loaded hydroxyapatite(HA)/β-tricalcium phosphate(β-TCP)scaffolds in treating infectious bone defects in mice.Methods HA/β-TCP scaffolds were fabricated by using 3D printing technology,and VA was loaded onto the scaffolds via freeze-drying to create the composite VA/HA/β-TCP scaffolds.The scaffolds were observed by using scanning electron microscopy(SEM),and their encapsulation efficiency,drug-loading capacity,and release kinetics were assessed.An in vitro co-culture system was established with mouse embryonic osteoblasts(MC3T3-E1)and the scaffolds,The cells were di-vided into the control group(HA/β-TCP scaffolds)and the VA/HA/β-TCP group.Cell viability was assessed by using the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT)assay,and osteocalcin(OCN)expression levels were meas-ured by ELISA at 7,12,and 14 days of co-culture.Antibacterial activity was evaluated through adhesion ex-periments.A mouse cranial defect model was constructed and implanted with the scaffolds for 4 weeks.Hema-toxylin and eosin(HE)staining was performed to observe material degradation and bone formation in the sur-rounding tissues.Results The VA/HA/β TCP scaffolds exhibited uniform pore size distribution and excel-lent drug-loading performance,with an encapsulation efficiency of 70.32％and an actual drug-loading rate of 30.53％,effectively loading VA.The scaffolds sustained VA release over 36 hours.Compared to the control group,MC3T3-E1 cell viability on the VA/HA/β-TCP scaffolds was significantly inhibited at 7 and 12 days of co-culture(P＜0.01),but no significant difference in proliferation activity was observed between the two groups after 14 days(P＞0.05).No significant differences in OCN expression levels were found in MC3T3-E1 cells on the VA/HA/β-TCP scaffolds compared to the control group at any time point(P＞0.05).The VA/HA/β-TCP scaffolds demonstrated strong antibacterial properties,with significantly reduced numbers of Escherichia coli in the co-cultured bacterial solution and on the scaffold surface compared to the control group(P＜0.001).Compared with the control group,the VA/HA/β-TCP group demonstrated significantly reduced cranial hemorrhage and inflammatory infiltration,alongside a marked increase in new bone tissue.Conclusion The VA/HA/β-TCP scaffolds exhibit excellent drug-loading performance,controlled drug re-lease,biocompatibility,antibacterial activity,and bone tissue compatibility,offering a novel approach for trea-ting bone infections.

Objective:To construct the gemcitabine resistant cell lines of human pancreatic cancer cell line (PANC1) and mouse pancreatic cancer cell line (PANC02), and to investigate their biological behavior changes.Methods:Gemcitabine-resistant cell lines PANC1-GR of human pancreatic cancer and PANC02-GR of mouse pancreatic cancer were induced by concentration gradient increment method. Cell count assay (CCK-8), flow cytometry, cell scratch assay and Transwell assay were used to detect the drug resistance, proliferation, cell cycle, migration and invasion of the four groups of cell lines. The drug-resistant cells were also compared with the parent cells.Results:The resistance indices of PANC1-GR and PANC02-GR were 153.3 and 185.4, respectively. The results of CCK-8 showed that with the increase of gemcitabine concentration, the proliferation of resistant cells changed significantly compared with parental cells, the population doubling time of PANC1-GR was significantly shorter than that of PANC1 (1.5±0.1) d vs (2.4±0.2) d ( t=8.00, P<0.001). The proportion of cells in S and G2/M phase increased, and the proportion of cells in G0/G1 phase decreased. The cell scratch and Transwell experiments indicated that the 24h mobility of PANC1-GR and PANC02-GR was higher than that of parent cells (47.6±2.4)% vs (28.7±6.3)% and (53.6±3.2)% vs (30.1±1.4)%, the number of individual field (200 times magnification) penetrating membrane cells was also higher than that of parent cells (269.7±30.9) vs (62.7±10.1) and (172.0±30.8) vs (36.3±4.9), with statistical significance (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Concentration gradient increment method can successfully establish gemcitabine-resistant pancreatic cancer cell lines, which have stronger proliferation, migration and invasiveness, and can be used to study the mechanism of drug resistance in pancreatic cancer.
