ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Yifei Jianpi prescription on the of signal transducer and activator of transcription protein 1 （STAT1）/interferon regulatory factor 3 （IRF3） signaling pathway in a pneumonia model induced by lipopolysaccharide （LPS） and to explore the mechanism of Yifei Jianpi prescription in improving lung immune and inflammatory responses. MethodsSixty male SPF SD rats were used in this study. Ten rats were randomly assigned to the normal control group， and the remaining 50 were instilled with LPS in the trachea to establish a pneumonia model. After successful modeling， the rats were randomly divided into the model group， dexamethasone group （0.5 mg·kg^-1）， and Yifei Jianpi prescription high-dose （12 mg·kg^-1）， medium-dose （6 mg·kg^-1）， and low-dose （3 mg·kg^-1） groups， with 10 rats in each group. Treatment was administered once daily， and the normal control and model groups received the same volume of normal saline. After 14 days， flow cytometry was used to detect the classification of whole blood lymphocytes. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to measure serum levels of immunoglobulin G （IgG）， immunoglobulin A （IgA）， immunoglobulin M （IgM）， and the content of tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-8 （IL-8）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， and interleukin-10 （IL-10） in alveolar lavage fluid （BALF）. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to observe lung tissue pathology and score the damage. Thymus weight， spleen weight， and wet-to-dry weight ratio （W/D） were recorded. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to detect the mRNA expression of STAT1， IRF3， IL-6， and interferon-alpha （IFN-α） in lung tissues， while Western blot was performed to assess the protein expression of STAT1， IRF3， IL-6， and IFN-α. ResultsCompared with the normal control group， the model group showed significantly increased proportion of B lymphocytes in peripheral blood， decreased proportions of NK cells and CD4⁺/CD8⁺ （P<0.05， P<0.01）， decreased serum levels of IgG and IgA， significantly increased IgM levels （P<0.01）， significantly elevated content of TNF-α， IL-6， and IL-8 in BALF， and significantly decreased IL-10 levels （P<0.01）. Lung tissue damage was evident， with significant increases in thymus and spleen weights and a higher W/D ratio （P<0.01）. The mRNA and protein expression of STAT1， IRF3， IFN-α， and IL-6 in lung tissues was significantly upregulated （P<0.05，P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the Yifei Jianpi prescription groups showed significantly reduced proportions of B lymphocytes in peripheral blood， increased proportions of NK cells and CD4⁺/CD8⁺ ratios （P<0.05， P<0.01）， significantly increased serum levels of IgG and IgA， significantly decreased IgM levels （P<0.05， P<0.01）， significantly reduced levels of TNF-α， IL-6， and IL-8 in BALF， and significantly increased IL-10 levels （P<0.01）. Lung tissue damage was alleviated， thymus and spleen weights were significantly reduced， and the W/D ratio was markedly decreased （P<0.01）. The mRNA and protein expression of STAT1， IRF3， IFN-α， and IL-6 in lung tissues was significantly downregulated （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionYifei Jianpi prescription can alleviate lung tissue damage and improve immune and inflammatory responses in LPS-induced pneumonia rats. The mechanism may be related to the inhibition of STAT1/IRF3 signaling pathway activation.

Objective:To explore the value of multiparametric ultrasonography，including grayscale ultrasound（US），color Doppler flow imaging（CDFI），and real-time shear wave elastography（SWE）in diagnosing mucosal healing（MH）in pediatric patients with Crohn's disease.Methods:This prospective study consecutively enrolled pediatric CD patients who underwent endoscopic examinations at Hunan Children's Hospital from January 2024 to August 2024. Based on the Simplified Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease（SES-CD），all intestinal segments were divided into two groups：the MH group and the non-mucosal healing（NMH）group. Differences in bowel wall thickness（BWT），bowel wall stratification，color Doppler grading，SWE values，and increased thickness of mesenteric fat were compared between the two groups. ROC curves were plotted to evaluate the diagnostic performance of each ultrasound parameter. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent predictors of MH，and a regression model was developed based on these factors.Results:A total of 234 intestinal segments from 60 pediatric CD patients were included in the analysis，divided into the MH group（101 segments）and the NMH group（133 segments）.There were significant differences between the MH and NMH groups in terms of BWT，bowel wall stratification，color Doppler grading，SWE values，and increased thickness of mesenteric fat（all P<0.05）. The multivariate Logistic regression analysis identified BWT，color Doppler grading，and SWE values as independent predictors associated with MH（all P<0.05）.The area under the ROC curve was 0.906（95% CI = 0.867 - 0.945， P＜0.05），with a sensitivity of 0.865 and specificity of 0.851. Conclusions:Multiparametric ultrasonography can effectively assess MH in pediatric CD patients，providing critical information for accurate clinical evaluation of disease status and treatment outcomes.

Objective To analyze the trends in disease burden and risk factors of depression among the elderly population in China from 1990 to 2021,and to provide a theoretical basis for the prevention,treatment,and policy-making of geriatric depression in China.Methods Data on the disease burden of geriatric depres-sion in China from 1990 to 2021,including the number of incident cases,disability-adjusted life years(DALYs),incidence rate,and DALY rate,were extracted from the 2021 Global Burden of Disease(GBD)database.The Joinpoint regression model was used to analyze the trends by calculating the annual percentage change(APC)and average annual percentage change(AAPC).The autoregressive integrated moving average(ARIMA)model was employed to predict the disease burden of geriatric depression over the next five years.Population attributable fractions(PAFs)were used to describe the risk factors for geriatric depression in China in 1990 and 2021.Results From 1990 to 2021,the number of incident cases and the incidence rate of geri-atric depression in China showed an overall upward trend.The most significant increase in incidence was ob-served in the 60-64 age group,while the prevalence rate increased notably in the ≥ 95 age group.The DALY rate showed the most pronounced upward trend in the 65-69 age group.The incidence,prevalence,and DALY rates of geriatric depression were higher in women than in men.Major risk factors included child-hood sexual abuse and intimate partner violence,with the impact of intimate partner violence being particular-ly significant among women.The ARIMA model predicted that the incidence,prevalence,and DALY rates of geriatric depression in China would decline over the next five years,with a greater decline observed in women than in men.Conclusions From 1990 to 2021,the incidence,prevalence,and DALY rates of geriatric de-pression in China showed an overall upward trend,with higher rates observed in women than in men.Greater attention should be paid to the elderly female population,with a focus on early prevention to reduce the dis-ease burden of geriatric depression.

This paper aims to discuss the construction and promotion strategy of medical care capacity framework based on the core literacy of palliative care， combining domestic and foreign research and clinical status. The research results show that it is particularly important to construct a framework of medical care competence based on palliative care. The core competencies required for palliative care include the ability to comprehensively evaluate and formulate personalized programs， effective communication skills， interdisciplinary teamwork skills， and the ability to continuously learn and improve themselves. The quality of care can be further improved if the above abilities are incorporated into the framework of medical care ability based on palliative care. However， there are a series of problems in the process of constructing the framework of palliative medical care capacity， such as difficult implementation of policy support， poor professionalism of talent team， single and irregular service model， low social acceptance， and difficult interdisciplinary cooperation and resource integration. After a detailed analysis of the problems， this paper puts forward the countermeasures to construct the framework of caring ability literacy based on palliative care. Effective countermeasures such as increasing policy support， cultivating comprehensive talents， developing diversified palliative care models， improving social recognition， and strengthening interdisciplinary cooperation and resource integration can effectively improve the core literacy and professional ability of medical care personnel， and then promote the development and improvement of palliative care services. In-depth discussion of the above contents can provide scientific reference for building a care model and literacy framework with palliative care as the core.

Objective: To explore the influencing factors and network structure of aggressive behaviors among college students based on propensity score matching (PSM), so as to provide precise targeted interventions for the prevention and improvement of aggressive behaviors among college students. Methods: A total of 2 652 college students were selected by convenient sampling method from three colleges in Wuhan, Hubei Province in June 2023. Questionnaire surveys were carried out by using the Buss-Warren Aggression Questionnaire (BWAQ), Ruminative Responses Scale (RRS), Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire-Chinese Version (CERQ-C), Family APGAR Index (APGAR) ,Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale (BFNES).By bias score matching (PSM) for 1∶1 matching, univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis, and network analysis were conducted on the college students. Results: College students with higher levels of ruminant thinking，non adaptive emotional regulation and fear of negative appraisal were more likely to have highly aggressive behaviors（ OR =1.14，1.18，1.06），and those with higher adaptive emotional regulation and family care index were more likely to have highly aggressive behaviors ( OR =0.88，0.82)( P < 0.01 ). Network structure was significantly different between the two groups ( M =0.27, P <0.05). The core affective factors of college students with high levels of aggressive behavior were brooding reflective pondering and symptom rumination( EI =3.50, 3.49, 3.48 )，low aggressive behavior college students core affective factors were adaptive emotion regulation growth and non adaptive emotion regulation( EI =4.37, 4.12, 4.08). Conclusion Factors affecting Chinese college students aggressive behaviors are of different characteristics on different behaviour types, and targeted interventions should be adopted to reduce aggressive behaviors of college students.

Tumor immunotherapy,recognized as the fourth major treatment modality alongside surgery,radiotherapy,and chemotherapy,fundamentally relies on mobilizing and enhancing the body's intrinsic immune system to achieve the precise targeting and elimination of neoplastic lesions.In this therapeutic framework,macrophages derived from blood monocyte differentiation serve as critical components of the innate immune defense system and exert profound impacts within the tumor microenvironment(TME).As the dominant inflammatory cell population infiltrating the TME,tumor-associated macrophages(TAMs)not only perform a key function in immune regulation but also serve as a paradigm for the connection between inflammation and tumors.Therapeutic strategies targeting TAMs aim to reverse the immunosuppressive milieu of the TME through multifaceted regulatory mechanisms,including cellular depletion or functional reprogramming,thereby effectively impeding tumor progression.This review systematically analyzes the intricate immune regulatory mechanisms of macrophages in tumor immunotherapy and synthesizes research advancements in major therapeutic agents targeting TAMs,aiming to provide researchers in the field of tumor immunotherapy and developers of macrophage-modulating pharmaceuticals with novel theoretical insights and practical guidelines.

Objective To explore the effect of music therapy on children with autism spectrum disorder(ASD).Methods A systematic search was conducted in databases including CNKI,Wanfang data,VIP,PubMed,Elsevier Sci-ence Direct and Google Scholar for randomized controlled trials(RCT)on the effect of music therapy on children with ASD.The search period was from database inception to April,2024.The control group received non-music therapy interventions,including medication,educational therapy,cognitive-behavioral therapy,and structured treatment.The observation group received music therapy.Studies were systematically reviewed following the Co-chrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews,with two researchers independently screening literatures,extracting data,and assessing the risk of bias in the included studies.Statistic analysis was performed using Review Manag-er 5.4.Results Nine RCTs were included,involving 828 patients from France,China,Norway,Iran,the United States and Aus-tralia.The intervention types mainly included music therapy,parent-child cooperative music therapy,Orff music therapy,group music therapy,improvisational music therapy,Orff-Schulwerk-based music therapy,music inter-vention and family-centered music therapy.The overall outcomes(SMD=-0.30,95%CI-0.55 to-0.04,P=0.02),language function(MD=-2.09,95%CI-2.89 to-1.30,P<0.001)and physical behavior(SMD=-0.27,95%CI-0.53 to-0.01,P=0.040)improved better in the observation group.Conclusion Music therapy can improve the overall outcome of children with ASD,especially in language function and physical behavior.

Objective To investigate CBX2 and TIM3 in salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma(SACC)tissue and their relationship with clinical pathological features and prognosis.Methods 80 patients with SACC who underwent surgical treatment in the First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University from January 2016 to January 2020 were selected.Immunohistochemistry was used to measure CBX2 and TIM3 in tissues.The relationship between CBX2 and TIM3 in SACC tissue and prognosis was discussed though Kaplan-Meier method.The factors influencing the prognosis of SACC were discussed using multivariate Cox regression.Results The positive rates of CBX2 and TIM3 in SACC tissues were clearly higher than those in normal glandular tissues adjacent to cancer(χ2=11.237,8.229,P<0.05).The CBX2 and TIM3 were associated with nerve invasion and distant metastasis(P<0.05).After a 5-year follow-up,26 cases died and 54 cases survived,with an overall 5-year survival rate of 67.50%(54/80).The death group had higher positive rates of CBX2 and TIM3 in SACC tissues than the survival group(P<0.05).Patients with positive CBX2 and TIM3 in SACC tissues had clearly lower 5-year survival rate than patients with negative CBX2 and TIM3(Log Rank χ2=6.564,5.197,P<0.05).CBX2,TIM3 positivity,nerve invasion,and distant metastasis were risk factors affecting prognosis(P<0.05).Conclusion The positive expression of CBX2 and TIM3 in SACC tissues is closely related to the clinical pathological features and prognosis of patients.

Objective:To observe the clinical characteristics of elderly patients with demyelinating optic neuritis (DON), and preliminarily analyze the related factors affecting their visual prognosis.Methods:A observational clinical case-control study. A total of 107 patients with DON who were diagnosed and hospitalized in Beijing Tongren Hospital and its medical alliance Department of Ophthalmology, Beijing Puren Hospital from March 2019 to October 2023 were included in this study. Detailed medical histories were recorded, including time of onset, presence of ocular pain, treatment modalities, and follow-up status. All affected eyes underwent best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) testing, orbital magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and laboratory tests, including erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), antinuclear antibodies (ANA), extractable nuclear antigens (ENA), aquaporin-4 (AQP4) antibodies, and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibodies in peripheral blood. Based on age, patients were categorized into the elderly DON group (≥50 years) and the young and middle-aged DON group (<50 years), comprising 50 and 57 cases, respectively. Furthermore, the elderly DON group was subdivided by serum-specific antibody status into the AQP4 antibody-positive ON group (AQP4-ON group), the MOG antibody-positive ON group (MOG-ON group), and the double-negative ON group (DN-ON group), with 18, 10, and 22 cases respectively. The median follow-up duration was 36 months. Follow-up assessments were conducted using the same equipment, methods, and relevant examinations as those applied at baseline. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with visual prognosis in elderly DON patients.Results:Compared with the DON group of young and middle-aged people, the incidence of binocular disease, accelerated ESR, MRI imaging score, the incidence of combined cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, tumors, and the proportion of adverse reactions of glucocorticoids in the elderly group were higher, and the proportion of ocular pain was lower. The differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Six months after the treatment, the number of cases with BCVA> 0.3 in the affected eyes in the elderly DON group and the young and middle-aged DON group was 28 (56.0%, 28/50) and 42 (73.7%, 42/57), respectively. The number of patients with BCVA> 0.3 in the elderly DON group was significantly lower than that in the young and middle-aged DON group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.034). Moreover, with the increase of age, the degree of improvement in visual acuity showed a decreasing trend. The proportion of females in the AQP4-ON group, the proportion of optic chiasm and posterior optic pathway involvement in acute MRI, and the positive rate of ANA/ENA were significantly higher than those in the MOG-ON group and the DN-ON group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The rate of optic disc edema in the MOG-ON group was significantly higher than that in the AQP4-ON group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.031). One and six months after treatment, the BCVA in the MOG-ON group was significantly better than that in the AQP4-ON group and the DN-ON group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The results of binary logistic regression analysis showed that at the onset of the disease, BCVA <0.01 [odds ratio ( OR) =2.60, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 1.23-5.52, P=0.013] and accelerated ESR ( OR=4.68, 95% CI 1.08-20.18, P=0.039) was an independent risk factor affecting the prognosis of BCVA in elderly patients with DON. Conclusions:There are different clinical characteristics between elderly DON patients and young and middle-aged patients. The risk of combined systemic diseases and side effects of glucocorticoids is higher, and the visual prognosis is worse. There are also differences in clinical characteristics and visual prognosis among subgroups of different serological antibodies in elderly DON. Advanced age, the lowest visual acuity at onset and immune inflammatory indicators are all factors affecting the visual prognosis of DON.

Objective To investigate the effect of an intelligent telerehabilitation developed with reinforcement theory on the postoperative functional recovery and return to sport in patients after reconstructive surgery of anterior cruciate ligament.Methods By using the convenience sampling method,120 patients after reconstructive surgery of anterior cruciate ligament at a tertiary general hospital in Wuhan from June 2022 to June 2023 were selected as the research subjects.Sixty patients admitted to our hospital between June 2022 and December 2022 were assigned to a control group,while another 60 patients admitted to our hospital between January 2023 and June 2023 were assigned to an trial group.The patients in the control group received conventional surgical treatment,nursing care and instructions for rehabilitation,whereas additional rehabilitation based on the intelligent telerehabilitation developed with reinforcement theory was given to the patients in the trial group.The two groups were compared in terms of postoperative knee function and compliance with rehabilitation exercise.Results The compliance of the trial group with home rehabilitation training was higher than that of the control group.The comparison between the two groups showed a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).12 months after surgery,patients in the trial group exhibited higher scores in International Knee Documentation Committee Subjective knee form(IKDC)and Lysholm and Gillquist knee scores compared with those in the control group(both P<0.05.Also,the patients in trial group showed lower incidences of pain,swelling and joint instability compared with those in the control group(all P<0.05).At 12 months after surgery,the patients in trial group showed better capability to perform daily activities and participate in sports in comparison with those in the control group(both P<0.05).Conclusion The intelligent telerehabilitation based on reinforcement theory can improve the compliance of patient with rehabilitation.It therefore is able to reduce incidences of postoperative complications such as pain,swelling,knee instability and locking in patients who had the surgery for reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament.It also enhances the function recovery of knee,and helps patients to resume the activities in life and sports.
