ObjectiveTo investigate the present situation of input, output, outcome and impact of all registered community-based rehabilitation stations in Inner Mongolia in China, and analyze how the input predict the output, outcome and impact. MethodsFrom March 1st to April 30th, 2025, a questionnaire survey was conducted on all registered community-based rehabilitation stations in Inner Mongolia, covering four dimensions: input, output, outcome and impact. A total of 1 365 questionnaires were distributed. The input included four items: laws and policies, human resources, equipment and facilities, and rehabilitation information management. The output included two items: technical paths and benefits/effectiveness. The outcome included three items: coverage rates, rehabilitation interventions and functional results. The impact included two items: health and sustainability. Each item contained several questions, all of which were described in a positive way. Each question was scored from one to five. A lower score indicated that the situation of the community-based rehabilitation station was more in line with the content described in the question. Regression analysis was performed using the total score of each item of input dimension as independent variables, and the total scores of the output, outcome and impact dimensions as dependent variables. ResultsA total of 1 262 valid questionnaires were collected. The mean values of input, output, outcome and impact of community-based rehabilitation stations were 1.827 to 1.904, with coefficient of variation of 45.892% to 49.239%. The regression analysis showed that, rehabilitation information management, human resources, and laws and policies significantly predicted the output dimension (R² = 0.910, P < 0.001). Meanwhile, all four items in the input dimension predicted both the outcome (R² = 0.850, P < 0.001) and impact dimensions (R² = 0.833, P < 0.001). ConclusionInput, output, outcome and impact of the community-based rehabilitation stations in Inner Mongolia were generally in line with the content of the questions, although some imbalances were observed. Additionally, the input of community-based rehabilitation stations could significantly predict their output, outcome and impact.

ObjectiveAutism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by difficulties with communication and social interaction, restricted and repetitive behaviors. Previous studies have indicated that individuals with ASD exhibit early and lifelong attention deficits, which are closely related to the core symptoms of ASD. Basic visual attention processes may provide a critical foundation for their social communication and interaction abilities. Therefore, this study explores the behavior of children with ASD in capturing attention to changes in topological properties. MethodsOur study recruited twenty-seven ASD children diagnosed by professional clinicians according to DSM-5 and twenty-eight typically developing (TD) age-matched controls. In an attention capture task, we recorded the saccadic behaviors of children with ASD and TD in response to topological change (TC) and non-topological change (nTC) stimuli. Saccadic reaction time (SRT), visual search time (VS), and first fixation dwell time (FFDT) were used as indicators of attentional bias. Pearson correlation tests between the clinical assessment scales and attentional bias were conducted. ResultsThis study found that TD children had significantly faster SRT (P<0.05) and VS (P<0.05) for the TC stimuli compared to the nTC stimuli, while the children with ASD did not exhibit significant differences in either measure (P>0.05). Additionally, ASD children demonstrated significantly less attention towards the TC targets (measured by FFDT), in comparison to TD children (P<0.05). Furthermore, ASD children exhibited a significant negative linear correlation between their attentional bias (measured by VS) and their scores on the compulsive subscale (P<0.05). ConclusionThe results suggest that children with ASD have difficulty shifting their attention to objects with topological changes during change detection. This atypical attention may affect the child’s cognitive and behavioral development, thereby impacting their social communication and interaction. In sum, our findings indicate that difficulties in attentional capture by TC may be a key feature of ASD.

Objective: Accurate evaluation of inflammation severity in ulcerative colitis (UC) can guide treatment strategy selection. The potential value of the pericolic fat attenuation index (FAI) on CT as an indicator of disease severity remains unknown.This study aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of pericolic FAI in predicting UC severity. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study enrolled 148 patients (mean age 48 years; 87 males). The fat attenuation on CT was measured in four different locations: the mesocolic vascular side (MS) and opposite side of MS (OMS) around the most severe bowel lesion, the retroperitoneal space (RS), and the subcutaneous area. The fat attenuation indices (FAI MS, FAI OMS, and FAI RS) were calculated as the fat attenuation measured in MS, OMS, and RS, respectively, minus that of the subcutaneous area, and were obtained in the non-enhanced, arterial, and delayed phases. Correlations between the FAI and UC Endoscopic Index of Severity (UCEIS) were assessed using Spearman’s correlation. Predictors of severe UC (UCEIS ≥7) were selected by univariable analysis. The performance of FAI in predicting severe UC was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Results: The FAIMS and FAI OMS scores were significantly higher than FAI RS in three phases (all P < 0.001). The FAIMS and FAI OMS scores moderately correlated with the UCEIS score (r = 0.474–0.649 among the three phases). Additionally, FAI MS and FAI OMS identified severe UC, with AUC varying from 0.77 to 0.85. Conclusion Increased CT attenuation of pericolic adipose tissue could serve as a noninvasive marker for evaluating UC severity. FAI MS and FAI OMS of three phases showed similar prediction accuracies for severe UC identification.

Laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy (LSC) has been a safe and viable alternative to conversion to laparotomy in cases of severe cholecystitis. The objective of this study is to determine the utility of intraoperative choledochoscopy in LSC for the exploration of the gallbladder, cyst duct, and subsequent stone clearance of the cystic duct in cases of severe cholecystitis. A total of 72 patients diagnosed with severe cholecystitis received choledochoscopy-assisted laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy (CALSC). A choledochoscopy was performed to explore the gallbladder cavity and/or cystic duct, and to extract stones using a range of techniques. The clinical records, including the operative records and outcomes, were subjected to analysis. No LSC was converted to open surgery, and no bile duct or vascular injuries were sustained. All stones within the cystic duct were removed by a combination of techniques, including high-frequency needle knife electrotomy, basket, and electrohydraulic lithotripsy. A follow-up examination revealed the absence of residual bile duct stones, with the exception of one common bile duct stone, which was extracted via endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. In certain special cases, CALSC may prove to be an efficacious treatment for the management of severe cholecystitis. This technique allows for optimal comprehension of the situation within the gallbladder cavity and cystic duct, facilitating the removal of stones from the cystic duct and reducing the residue of the non-functional gallbladder remnant.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer-associated death globally. Liver transplantation (LT) has emerged as a key treatment for patients with HCC, and the Milan criteria have been adopted as the cornerstone of the selection policy. To allow more patients to benefit from LT, a number of expanded criteria have been proposed, many of which use radiologic morphological characteristics with larger and more tumors as surrogates to predict outcomes. Other groups developed indices incorporating biological variables and dynamic markers of response to locoregional treatment. These expanded selection criteria achieved satisfactory results with limited liver supplies. In addition, a number of prognostic models have been developed using clinicopathological characteristics, imaging radiomics features, genetic data, and advanced techniques such as artificial intelligence. These models could improve prognostic estimation, establish surveillance strategies, and bolster long-term outcomes in patients with HCC. In this study, we reviewed the latest findings and achievements regarding the selection criteria and post-transplant prognostic models for LT in patients with HCC.

Objective To compare the clinical outcomes of two internal fixation methods for the treatment of lateral column injuries following Schatzker type Ⅳ tibial plateau fractures with posterior lateral displacement of bone fragments.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 61 patients who under-went surgical treatment for lateral column injuries associated with Schatzker type Ⅳ tibial plateau fractures at the institution between March 2019 and August 2024.Of these patients,34 who were treated with isolated lateral plating were allocated to the experimental group,and 27 who received combined fixation using a posterior T-plate and lateral plate were assigned to the control group.Results Both groups showed no incidence of grade C wound healing following surgery.The experimental group demonstrated a grade A wound healing rate of 94.1%,which was significantly higher than that of the control group(70.4%).The surgical duration in the experimental group was significantly shorter[(83.8±8.5)minutes]compared to the control group[(115.7±11.2)minutes].Additionally,the postoperative hospital stay was shorter in the experimental group[(12.5±3.1)d]than in the control group[(14.9±3.2)d].The intraoperative blood loss in the experimental group[(271.0±51.3)mL]was also signifi-cantly lower than that in the control group[(308.5±60.1)mL],and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).No statistically significant difference was observed in fracture healing time between the two groups(P>0.05).At the final follow-up,no statistically significant differences were found in KSS or VAS scores between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusions Both the simple lateral plate fixation method and the posterior T-shaped plate combined with lateral plate fixation method are applicable for the treatment of Schatzker type Ⅳ tibial plateau fractures involving posterior-lateral column injuries.However,the simple lateral plate fixation method is associated with shorter surgical duration,reduced hospitalization,less intraoperative blood loss,and a higher rate of incision healing.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of a blended teaching model integrating the HBOPPPS framework(Hybrid Bridge-in,Objectives,Pre-assessment,Participatory learning,Post-assessment,Summary)and the"Cloud-based PAD Class"(Presentation-Assimilation-Discussion)in online clinical clerkship teaching for palliative oncology.Methods A self-con-trolled trial was conducted in October 2023,involving 41 undergraduate students majoring in Food Hygiene and Nutrition(Grade 2021)from Kunming Medical University.Phase 1 implemented conventional online teaching(control group),while Phase 2 adopted the"HBOPPPS+Cloud-based PAD Class"blended approach(experimental group).Teaching effectiveness was assessed via post-class examination scores,classroom participation rates,and satisfaction surveys.Results The experimental group dem-onstrated significantly higher outcomes than the control group:examination scores(86.34±4.19 vs.80.02±3.63,P＜0.05),classroom participation(51.2％vs.12.2％,P＜0.05),and teaching satisfaction(95.1％vs.80.5％,P＜0.05).Conclu-sionThe"HBOPPPS+Cloud-based PAD Class"blended teaching model effectively enhances online clinical clerkship outcomes in palliative oncology,significantly improving students' learning initiative,engagement,and classroom participation.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy and underlying mechanisms of endoscopic sinus surgery(ESS)combined with budesonide nasal spray in the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps(CRSwNP),with a focus on its effects on symptom control,nasal mucosal function repair,immune regulation,and recurrence rate.Methods:A total of 110 patients with CRSwNP were randomly divided into a matched group(60 cases,receiving ESS alone)and an observation group(50 cases,receiving ESS followed by 6 months of postoperative budesonide nasal spray).The Lund-Kennedy score,Visual Analog Scale(VAS)score for symptoms,nasal mucociliary clearance rate(MTR),nasal mucosal T-cell subsets(CD4+/CD8+),inflammatory factors(TGF-β1,VEGF),serum marker(IL-3,IL-4,IL-5,IL-13,TSLP)and complications,recurrence rate(6 months and 12 months)were compared between the two groups before surgery and at 3 and 6 months postoperatively.Results:At 3 months postoperatively,the VAS scores for nasal obstruction,hyposmia,and facial pain in the observation group were lower than those in the matched group(0.76±0.21 vs 1.26±0.34,0.88±0.17 vs 1.48±0.33,0.37±0.07 vs 0.55±0.11,all P＜0.001).At 6 months postoperatively,the Lund-Kennedy score(1.34±0.31 vs 1.65±0.33)and MTR(7.53±1.67 vs 6.54±1.39 mm/min)in the observation group were superior to those in the matched group(both P＜0.05).The CD4+/CD8+ratio(1.03±0.17 vs 0.87±0.14)and TGF-β1 levels(568.33±75.48 vs 506.27±72.87 μg/L)were higher,while VEGF levels(145.95±27.94 vs 178.33±36.37 ng/L)were lower in the observation group(all P＜0.001).At 6 months after surgery,the levels of IL-4,IL-5,IL-13,and TSLP were lower than those in the matched group(P＜0.05).The complication rate(8.00％vs 16.67％)and recurrence rate(4.00％vs 18.33％)in the observation group were lower than those in the matched group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:ESS combined with budesonide can significantly alleviate CRSwNP symptoms and reduce the risk of recurrence by inhibiting Th2-type inflammatory responses,regulating T-cell immune balance,improving ciliary function,and suppressing angiogenesis.The synergistic mechanism involves the dynamic regulation of inflammatory microenvironment remodeling and mucosal repair,demonstrating significant clinical efficacy and safety.This study is the first to propose a postoperative management strategy that integrates mucosal repair,Th2 suppression,and inflammatory remodeling,filling a gap in research on postoperative immune microenvironment regulation.

Objective:To explore how government departments can mobilize the enthusiasm of family doctors and residents to fulfill their obligations,and under what circumstances the three parties in the game will reach a stable state of government"encouragement",family doctors"effort",and residents"signing contracts".Methods:It constructs a three party evolutionary game model using evolutionary game theory,and conducts numerical simulations on the model using Matlab2022a Software to analyze its strategy choices under different conditions.Results:The key factors affecting the choice of the three party strategy in the game include government regulatory costs,policy subsidies,health benefits and economic costs of residents signing contracts.Conclusion:There is an optimal subsidy range for government financial subsidies,and residents'strategic choices are influenced by health benefits and economic costs.Changes in government supervision costs affect the strategic choices of family doctors.Measures such as formulating reasonable policy subsidy schemes,controlling transaction costs,and improving supervision mechanisms can promote the transformation of game players towards"encouragement,effort,and signing".

AIM To investigate the protective effects of Shuangyi Qushi Tongluo Capsules(Shuangyi Capsules)on Dexamethasone(Dex)induced osteoporosis in mice.METHODS The C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into the control group,the model group,the Xianling Gubao Capsules group(1.5 g/kg),and the low-dose,moderate-dose,and high-dose Shuangyi Capsules groups(0.6,1.2,and 2.4 g/kg).The mouse model of osteoporosis was induced by 8-week intraperitoneal injection of Dex sodium phosphate injection(5 mg/kg).The mice had their femur osteogenesis observed with hematoxylin and eosin(HE)staining and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase(TRAP)staining;their serum alkaline phosphatase(ALP)and osteocalcin(BGP)activities detected by ELISA;their femoral mRNA expressions of Col-Ⅰ,OCN,and OPN detected by RT-qPCR;and their femoral protein expressions of OPG and RANKL detected by Western blot.Upon the MC3T3-E1 cells exposed to Dex and Shuangyi Capsules,their viability was evaluated by CCK-8 assay;their mineralization determined by alkaline phosphatase staining and alizarin red staining(ARS);and their intracellular ROS level detected using DCFH-DA probe.RESULTS Compared with the model group,Shuangyi Capsules groups demonstrated improved fracture of femoral trabeculae and reduced number of osteoclasts;increased serum ALP and BGP activities(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);increased femoral expressions of Col-Ⅰ mRNA and OPG protein(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);and decreased RANKL protein expression(P＜0.05).Compared with the MC3T3-E1 cells stimulated by Dex,those underwent further treatment of Shuangyi Capsules demonstrated increased cell viability and ALP activity(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);increased mineralization and calcium nodule formation;increased expressions of Col-Ⅰ,OCN,OPN mRNA and OPG protein(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);decreased RANKL protein expression(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);and reduced ROS levels.CONCLUSION Shuangyi Capsules ameliorate Dex-induced osteoporosis in mice by suppressing osteoclast overactivation,enhancing osteoblast activity,and stimulating bone formation through modulation of Col-Ⅰ,OCN,OPN mRNA and OPG/RANKL protein levels.
