Retinitis pigmentosa （RP） is the most common hereditary blinding eye disease in clinical practice， with the pathogenesis remaining unclear. Patients experience progressive apoptosis of retinal photoreceptor cells， accompanied by degeneration of retinal pigment epithelium （RPE） cells. Current Western medical treatments mainly focus on gene therapy and stem cell transplantation， showing limited efficacy. In contrast， clinical observations have confirmed the therapeutic effects of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） treatments. Establishing an RP animal model that aligns with the diagnostic features of both TCM and Western medicine could help combine the strengths of both approaches， thereby broadening the treatment options for RP. This study categorizes and summarizes the existing RP animal models in terms of classification， types， inheritance patterns， and alignment with clinical manifestations. It is found that current RP models are primarily derived from natural animal models such as RD mice and RCS rats， transgenic animal models like RPE-65 knockout mice and rhodopsin gene knockout mice， and chemically induced models such as those created by monochromatic light exposure or N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea （ENU） administration. These three categories of models focus more on detecting RP-related histopathological， molecular biological， and cellular immunological indicators， but offer limited observation of the overall characteristics of the disease and lack insight into syndrome differentiation. Although RP is a congenital genetic disease， its progression is influenced by acquired factors such as environment， constitution， emotions， and care. Current models do not fully capture the characteristics of this disease. Therefore， establishing an RP animal model based on the diagnostic features of both TCM and Western medicine will have significant implications for future experimental and clinical research.

Objective To comparatively analyze the disparities in informatization construction between primary healthcare institu-tions in remote and non-remote areas,clarify the causes and manifestations of regional digital divides,and provide empirical evidence for optimizing resource allocation in remote areas and promoting health equity.The study also offers policy insights for advancing the"Internet+Healthcare"strategy based on local conditions.Methods A stratified sampling survey was conducted among 1 255 primary healthcare institutions in Sichuan Province to systematically compare informatization construction differences between remote and non-remote areas.Results Compared with non-remote areas,remote areas exhibited significant gaps in the coverage of informa-tization infrastructure and the construction of core system integration platforms.Remote areas also had higher absence rates of clinical service systems and notable disparities in institutional informatization investment and the allocation of dedicated IT person-nel.However,remote areas demonstrated strengths in the deployment of health terminals(e.g.,integrated health devices,smart follow-up kits,and wearable devices)and the construction of systems for infection control/communicable disease management and patient follow-up management.Conclusion Regional digital divides are primarily constrained by three factors:fiscal invest-ment,talent reserves,and technical adaptability.A differentiated policy support system is needed to address these challenges.

Objective This study applies Roy adaptation theory to deeply explore the experience of food avoid-ance behavior in patients with inflammatory bowel disease(IBD),offering insights for developing dietary management strategies.Methods A descriptive qualitative research method was employed.By purposive sampling,24 IBD pa-tients hospitalized in the gastroenterology department of a tertiary hospital in Nanjing from July 2022 to December 2024 were selected for semi-structured interviews.Data were analyzed using a directed content analysis approach.Results This study identified 4 main themes and 11 sub-themes,encompassing overattribution leading to inappro-priate avoidance(recurrent symptoms triggering overattribution,disease staging triggering inappropriate avoidance),negative self-perception leading management struggles(illness fear diminishing self-efficacy,disease trauma eroding self-identity,knowledge deficiency constraining self-determination),functional impairment intensifying role challenges(role internalization undermining social function,social roles relinquishing dietary management),and external con-straints amplifying practical difficulties(family and friend oversight heightening dietary stress,healthcare gaps foster-ing practical helplessness,traditional beliefs restricting dietary exploration,economic hardship limiting balanced nu-trition).Conclusion The interplay of overattribution,negative self-perception,functional impairment,and external constraints in IBD patients hinders their ability to adapt to disease fluctuations,ensnaring them in the adaptive predicament of food avoidance behavior.Healthcare professionals should comprehensively address these factors by fostering accurate perceptions,enhancing psychological support,guiding effective coping strategies,and optimizing ex-ternal resources,thereby improving patients' overall adaptive capacity and promoting their recovery.

ObjectiveTo assess the level of internal exposure to PCP in a community population in Shanghai， to investigate the factors affecting the level of PCP， and to analyze the correlation between the exposure and thyroid hormone levels. MethodsA total of 464 residents of a community in Shanghai were selected as the study subjects. A questionnaire survey was conducted to obtain the demographic information， dietary situation， lifestyle and behavioral habits， and disease history of the individuals， and blood samples were collected. Gas chromatography-electron trap was applied to determine the PCP levels in serum. Multicategorical logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the possible influencing factors of PCP exposure in humans. Thyroid hormone levels were used as the dependent variable and serum PCP as the independent variable. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to assess the association between PCP and thyroid hormones in the community population after controlling the confounding factors such as age， gender， literacy， annual personal income， and chronic diseases. ResultsThe detection rate of serum PCP in 464 subjects was 90.3%， and the median serum PCP level was 0.43 μg·L^-1. The differences in PCP levels among different age groups were statistically significant. There were no significant differences in PCP levels among different gender and BMI groups. The study of PCP exposure factors showed that age， frequency of using plastic products， consumption of freshwater fish， type of occupation， annual income， and consumption of tea or coffee were the potential influencing factors for PCP exposure. Among them， age， frequency of using plastic products， consumption of tea or coffee， and consumption of freshwater fish were positively associated with PCP levels， and annual personal income was negatively associated with it. The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that among men， PCP levels were positively correlated with TSH （b=0.105， 95%CI：0.017‒0.313） and negatively correlated with FT4 （b=-0.026， 95%CI：-0.057‒0.004）， and among women， PCP levels were positively correlated with TSH （b=0.092， 95%CI：-0.211‒0.904） and FT3 （b=0.017， 95%CI：-0.058‒0.230） and negatively correlated with FT4 （b=-0.013， 95%CI：-0.011‒0.037）. ConclusionSerum PCP detection is common among community residents in Shanghai. Different demographic characteristics or behavioral habits may increase or decrease PCP exposure. PCP exposure then affects human thyroid hormone levels.

Skin flaps are frequently employed in plastic and reconstructive surgery to address tissue defects.However,their low survival rates remain a challenge,attributed to vascular crisis and necrosis.Despite numerous studies investigating drugs to alleviate flap necrosis,a comprehensive analysis of the research trend in this critical area is lacking.To gain a deeper understanding of the current status,research focal points,and future trends in drugs aimed at enhancing flap survival,a thorough retrospective analysis is imperative.This study aims to employ bibliometric methods to scrutinize the evolution,mechanisms,and forthcoming trends of drugs targeting flap survival improvement.Using VOSviewer software,we quantitatively and visually depict 1)annual temporal trends in the number of documents and citations;2)national/regional publications and their collaborations;3)institutional and authors'contribution;4)journal contribution and relevance;and 5)analysis of research hotspots and directions derived from keywords.Ultimately,we discussed the prospects and challenges of future advances and clinical trans-lation of drugs designed to enhance skin flap survival.In conclusion,the field of pharmacology dedicated to improving skin flap survival is expanding,and this study aims to offer a fresh perspective to promote the advancement and clinical application of such drugs.

Objective To establish a universally applicable logistic risk prediction model for diabetes mellitus type 2(T2DM)in the middle-aged and elderly populations based on the results of a Meta-analysis,and to validate and confirm the efficacy of the model using the follow-up data of medical check-ups of National Basic Public Health Service.Methods Cohort studies evaluating T2DM risks were identified in Chinese and English databases.The logistic model utilized Meta-combined effect values such as the odds ratio(OR)to derive β,the partial regression coefficient,of the logistic model.The Meta-combined incidence rate of T2DM was used to obtain the parameter α of the logistic model.Validation of the predictive performance of the model was conducted with the follow-up data of medical checkups of National Basic Public Health Service.The follow-up data came from a community health center in Chengdu and were collected between 2017 and 2022 from 7 602 individuals who did not have T2DM at their baseline medical checkups done at the community health center.This community health center was located in an urban-rural fringe area with a large population of middle-aged and elderly people.Results A total of 40 cohort studies were included and 10 items covered in the medical checkups of National Basic Public Health Service were identified in the Meta-analysis as statistically significant risk factors for T2DM,including age,central obesity,smoking,physical inactivity,impaired fasting glucose,a reduced level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),hypertension,body mass index(BMI),triglyceride glucose(TYG)index,and a family history of diabetes,with the OR values and 95% confidence interval(CI)being 1.04(1.03,1.05),1.55(1.29,1.88),1.36(1.11,1.66),1.26(1.07,1.49),3.93(2.94,5.24),1.14(1.06,1.23),1.47(1.34,1.61),1.11(1.05,1.18),2.15(1.75,2.62),and 1.66(1.55,1.78),respectively,and the combined β values being 0.039,0.438,0.307,0.231,1.369,0.131,0.385,0.104,0.765,and 0.507,respectively.A total of 37 studies reported the incidence rate,with the combined incidence being 0.08(0.07,0.09)and the parameter α being-2.442 for the logistic model.The logistic risk prediction model constructed based on Meta-analysis was externally validated with the data of 7 602 individuals who had medical checkups and were followed up for at least once.External validation results showed that the predictive model had an area under curve(AUC)of 0.794(0.771,0.816),accuracy of 74.5%,sensitivity of 71.0%,and specificity of 74.7% in the 7 602 individuals.Conclusion The T2DM risk prediction model based on Meta-analysis has good predictive performance and can be used as a practical tool for T2DM risk prediction in middle-aged and elderly populations.

Objective:To translate the Illness Identity Questionnaire (IIQ) into Chinese and test its reliability and validity.Methods:The English version of IIQ was translated into Chinese and back-translated according to the Brislin model. The item of the Chinese version was determined after cross-cultural adaptation and pre-experiment. A total of 368 patients with IBD treated in the First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University from September 2022 to March 2023 were selected for a questionnaire survey to evaluate the reliability and validity of the questionnaire.Results:The Chinese version of IIQ contained 24 items in four dimensions. Four common factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis, and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 64.025%. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that each fitting index of the modified model was within the acceptable range. The Cronbach's α coefficients of rejection, acceptance, engulfing, and enrichment in Chinese IIQ were respectively 0.780, 0.800, 0.921, and 0.917. The split-half reliability coefficients were 0.824, 0.818, 0.943, and 0.929; the retest reliability coefficients were 0.695, 0.667, 0.725, and 0.572, respectively.Conclusions:The Chinese version of IIQ is reliable and valid and can be used to assess illness identity in patients with chronic diseases.
