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.

In recent years, the rising prevalence of obesity and its associated metabolic syndromes has emerged as a critical global public health concern. Sustained weight loss exceeding 10% of total body weight has been shown to ameliorate obesity-related comorbidities, including type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and hepatic steatosis. Recently, the potential of brown adipose tissue (BAT) to improve metabolism has garnered significant attention. However, evidence regarding weight loss therapies that promote BAT activation remains limited in preclinical models and is even scarcer in clinical studies, partly due to the paucity of appropriate BAT assessment techniques. This review aims to explore the potential impact of various weight loss therapies on BAT, with the goal of providing novel insights and strategies for the treatment of obesity.

BackgroundIndividuals with schizophrenia are prone to higher rates of hospital readmission， presenting significant clinical challenges and imposing considerable social burdens within the mental health domain. In recent years， various risk prediction models have been developed to forecast readmission in patients with schizophrenia and support clinical decision-making， but their predictive performance and clinical applicability require comprehensive evaluation. ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the risk prediction models for readmission in patients with schizophrenia， so as to provide insights for the development of high-performance and highly applicable readmission risk prediction models for patients with schizophrenia. MethodsOn July 5， 2025， a systematic literature search was conducted across multiple electronic databases， including PubMed， Embase， Cochrane Library， Web of Science， CINAHL， CNKI， China Biomedical Literature Database， Wanfang Database， and VIP Database， to identify risk prediction models for readmission in patients with schizophrenia. The search period was from the establishment of the databases to July 1， 2025. Two researchers independently performed literature screening， data extraction， risk of bias assessment， and applicability assessment. ResultsA total of 9 studies were included in this review， encompassing 18 risk prediction models for readmission in patients with schizophrenia. Among them， 4 models reported the area under the receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve （AUC）， ranging from 0.734 to 0.820， 16 models provided AUC values of 0.642–0.879 for internal validation， and 1 model demonstrated an AUC of 0.841 for external validation. Key predictors included disease duration and the concomitant therapy of antipsychotic medications. The risk of bias was assessed as "high" in all included studies. ConclusionThe development of risk prediction models for readmission in patients with schizophrenia remains in an exploratory stage. Although the model exhibits favorable predictive performance， it is associated with a high risk of bias and insufficient performance evaluation.

Objective: To compare the in vitro quality differences of leukoreduced pooled concentrated platelets prepared from whole blood preserved at different temperatures and for various durations, determine the safe time window for refrigerated whole blood in platelet preparation, and provide experimental evidence for optimizing blood component preparation procedures and improving the comprehensive utilization rate of blood resources. Methods: A total of 324 units of 400 mL ACD-B anticoagulated whole blood were randomly divided into two groups and stored at 4℃ and 22℃, respectively. The buffy coat was separated at three time intervals: <6 h, 6-12 h, and >12 h (≤18 h) post-collection, and allowed to rest overnight at 22℃. On the following day, the buffy coats from each group were pooled to prepare leukoreduced pooled platelet concentrates (LPPCs). Cell counts were performed, and metabolic parameters including pH, glucose, and lactate levels were measured to evaluate metabolic status. Platelet in vitro function and activation were assessed by thromboelastography (TEG), platelet aggregation rate, and the expression of PAC-1 and CD62P. The differences between the two groups were compared. Results: For pooled concentrated platelets prepared from whole blood stored at 4℃ and 22℃ for <6 h and 6-12 h, there were no significant differences in platelet count, pH, glucose levels, lactic acid levels, thromboelastography (TEG), platelet aggregation rate, or platelet activation rate (P>0.05). With prolonged refrigeration time of whole blood, compared with pooled concentrated platelets prepared from whole blood stored at 22℃ for >12 h but ≤18 h, those prepared from whole blood stored at 4℃ for >12 h but ≤18 h showed a decreased platelet count (1 152.83±180.08 vs 1 368.83±134.86, P=0.040), a significantly increased ADP-induced aggregation rate (26.82±6.59 vs 13.88±10.21, P=0.030), and significantly elevated expression rates of PAC-1 and CD62P (72.64±6.74 vs 63.28±5.97, P=0.030). However, there were no significant differences in pH, glucose content, lactate content, or thromboelastography (P>0.05). Conclusion: There was no significant difference in the in vitro count, function, or activation of pooled concentrated platelets prepared from whole blood stored at 4℃ and 22℃ within 12 hours. However, statistically significant differences were observed between the mixed concentrated platelets prepared from whole blood stored at 4℃ and those stored at 22℃ for more than 12 hours but not exceeding 18 hours. These findings can provide a reference for the preparation methods and clinical application of refrigerated platelets.

ObjectiveTo investigate the processing technology of calcined Haematitum based on the concept of quality by design（QbD） and to assess its health risk. MethodsTaking whole iron content， Fe²⁺ dissolution content and looseness as critical quality attributes（CQAs）， and calcination temperature， calcination time， spreading thickness and particle size as critical process parameters（CPPs） determined by the failure mode and effect analysis（FMEA）， the processing technology of calcined Haematitum was optimized by orthogonal test combined with analytic hierarchy process-criteria importance through intercriteria correlation（AHP-CRITIC） hybrid weighting method. The contents of heavy metals and harmful elements were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry， and the health risk assessment was carried out by daily exposure（EXP）， target hazard quotient（THQ） and lifetime cancer risk（LCR）， and the theoretical value of the maximum limit was deduced. ResultsThe optimal processing technology for calcined Haematitum was calcination at 650 ℃， calcination time of 1 h， particle size of 0.2-0.5 cm， spreading thickness of 1 cm， and vinegar quenching for 1 time［Haematitum-vinegar（10：3）］. The contents of 5 heavy metals and harmful elements in 13 batches of calcined Haematitum were all decreased with reductions of up to 5-fold. The cumulative THQ of 2 batches of samples was>1， while the cumulative THQ of all batches of Haematitum was>1. The LCR of As in 1 batches of Haematitum was 1×10^-6-1×10^-4， and the LCR of the rest was<1×10^-6， and the LCRs of calcined Haematitum were all<1×10^-6， indicating that the carcinogenic risk of calcined Haematitum was low， but special attention should still be paid to Haematitum medicinal materials. Preliminary theoretical values of the maximum limits of Cu， As， Cd， Pb and Hg were formulated as 1 014， 25， 17， 27， 7 mg·kg^-1. ConclusionThe optimized processing technology of calcined Haematitum is stable and feasible， and the contents of heavy metals and harmful elements are reduced after processing. Preliminary theoretical values of the maximum limits of Cu， As， Cd， Pb and Hg are formulated to provide a scientific basis for the formulation of standards for the limits of harmful elements in Haematitum.

Objective:To explore the correlation among sensory information processing, self-regulation abilities, and clinical symptoms in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).Methods:From December 1, 2023 to May 1, 2024, a total of 73 ASD children aged 3-7 years old meeting the inclusion criteria were recruited, and they were divided into mild group ( n=20), moderate group ( n=26), and severe group ( n=27) based on clinical symptoms.The sensory processing and self-regulation checklist (SPSRC) was used to assess sensory processing and self-regulation abilities. Clinical symptoms of ASD were assessed by the social responsiveness scale (SRS), the autism behavior checklist (ABC), and the childhood autism rating scale (CARS). Statistical analysis was conducted by SPSS 25.0 software, including Chi-square test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson correlation analysis. Results:Abnormal rates of sensory processing across the six domains in ASD children were as follows: auditory (31.51%, 23/73), visual (32.88%, 24/73), tactile (32.88%, 24/73), gustatory/olfactory (32.88%, 24/73), vestibular (24.66%, 18/73), and proprioception (27.40%, 20/73).Abnormal rates of self-regulation abilities across the three domains were as follows: physiological state (38.36%, 28/73), emotional regulation (49.32%, 36/73), and adaptability (31.51%, 23/73).The severe group showed higher abnormal rates in SPSRC domains compared to the moderate and mild groups (all P<0.05). Total scores of each SPSRC domain were negatively correlated with total scores of SRS, ABC, and CARS ( r=-0.648--0.236, all P<0.05). Conclusion:The more severe the impairment in sensory processing and self-regulation abilities in ASD children, the more severe their clinical symptoms. Improving sensory processing and self-regulation abilities may contribute to the rehabilitation of children with ASD.

Objective:To develop and validate the reliability and validity of the care giver assessment via observation (CGAO) in general hospital .Methods:From July 4, 2022 to June 24, 2023, a total of 120 adult inpatients with somatic diseases in Peking Union Medical College Hospital were selected by cluster sampling. All patients completed the CGAO, union physio-psycho-social assessment questionnaire (UPPSAQ-70) and patient health questionnaire-9 item (PHQ-9) assessment simultaneously. Exploratory factor analysis and item response theory analysis were used to explore the structural validity of CGAO by SPSS 26.0 software.The symptoms items and suicide risk assessed by UPPSAQ-70 and PHQ-9 were used as criteria to verify criterion validity.Results:Through exploratory factor analysis, a single-factor model could be constructed. The analysis based on item response theory suggested that it had a good fit with the single-factor stepwise response model ( χ2/ df=1.307, RMSEA=0.051, CFI=0.986, TLI=0.983). The CGAO total score was significantly positively correlated with the total scores of PHQ-9 and UPPSAQ-70 ( r=0.639, 0.518, both P<0.001). The Cronbach's α coefficient of the CGAO full scale was 0.735. Conclusion:CGAO has good reliability and validity in evaluating mental behavior of patients, and is suitable for early recognition of mental behavior abnormalities of inpatients in general hospitals.

Cell is the most basic unit of life,and normal metabolism is the key to cell growth and development.Reactive oxygen species(ROS)are important regulators of cell function,and hypoxi-a-inducible factor-1 alpha(HIF-1α)is a ROS receptor,which can activate transient receptor poten-tial vanilloid(TRPV)channel.TRPV is a sensor for temperature,pain,and osmotic pressure.Changes in the environment can induce changes in the activity of TRPV channel,which regulates various physiological and pathological processes of cells through its downstream signaling path-ways.Low temperature plasma can regulate cellular TRPV channel activity through HIF-1α.This article mainly reviews the effect of HIF-1α on cell function through TRPV channel,which has ref-erence significance for future research on various diseases related to TRPV channel and their pre-vention and treatment,as well as provides a new idea for using low temperature plasma technology to treat diseases through regulating TRPV channel.
