BACKGROUND:Pyroptosis participate in the degradation of the extracellular matrix of chondrocytes,synovial inflammation and pain,and plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of osteoarthritis.In addition,exercise can inhibit the occurrence of pyroptosis to regulate the progression of osteoarthritis,which has become a research hot spot in the prevention and treatment of osteoarthritis. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the regulatory role of pyroptosis in osteoarthritis and the mechanism of exercise-mediated pyroptosis in osteoarthritis. METHODS:PubMed and CNKI databases were searched during 1992 to 2024 with the keywords"pyroptosis,osteoarthritis,chondrocyte pyroptosis,synovial cell pyroptosis,exercise"in English and Chinese,respectively.Finally,71 relevant articles were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative joint disease characterized by the breakdown of cartilage extracellular matrix,synovial inflammation,and subchondral bone remodeling.This condition often leads to organic lesions,bone pain,and functional impairment.(2)Pyroptosis,a distinct programmed cell death mechanism,involves cell lysis and the release of inflammatory cytokines,triggering a robust inflammatory response,and is closely related to the development of osteoarthritis.Pyroptosis can result in the release of numerous inflammatory factors,thereby activate the nuclear factor kappa-B transcription and increase pyroptosis protein production,and in turn exacerbate the occurrence and development of osteoarthritis.Therefore,pyroptosis can be a new direction for the prevention and treatment of osteoarthritis.(3)Exercise has been shown to down-regulate the pyroptosis protein signaling pathway and inhibit the expression of related inflammatory factors,thereby playing a pivotal role in osteoarthritis prevention and treatment.Aerobic and anaerobic exercises can delay the pathological process of osteoarthritis by inhibiting the occurrence of pyroptosis.Moderate-intensity aerobic exercise is most effective in improving osteoarthritis by inhibiting pyroptosis signaling pathways,while anaerobic exercise can have beneficial effects on osteoarthritis by improving muscle mass.

Objective:To systematically evaluate and integrate the exercise experience of overweight or obese pregnant women during pregnancy, in order to provide basis for the formulation of standardized exercise programs for this population.Methods:We searched databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CINAHL, Embase, Ovid, PsycINFO, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, VIP, Wanfang and China National Knowledge Infrastructure, from their inception to August 16, 2023, to collect qualitative studies on the exercise experience of overweight or obese pregnant women during pregnancy. The quality of included studies was evaluated according to Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Tool for qualitative studies in Australia. The results were integrated by integrating methods.Results:A total of 11 studies were included. Sixty-one complete findings were grouped according to similarities to form 9 new categories. These categories resulted in 3 synthesized findings. Pregnant women with overweight or obesity were affected by promoting and hindering factors; careful balance of exercise risk and benefit for overweight or obese pregnant women during pregnancy; expectations and needs of overweight or obese pregnant women for exercise during pregnancy.Conclusions:Overweight or obese pregnant women highly rated the benefits and importance of exercise, but their participation and adherence to exercise is challenging. Medical staff should pay attention to the exercise experience of overweight or obese pregnant women during pregnancy, understand the driving factors and obstacles of exercise for overweight or obese pregnant women, in order to provide standardized and personalized exercise guidance programs for overweight or obese pregnant women.

Uterine arteriovenous fistula (UAVF), a relatively rare vascular anomaly, may lead to life-threatening hemorrhage and poses diagnostic and management challenges for primary hospitals during initial encounters. This article reports four cases of UAVF treated with Drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol tablets at Department of Gynaecology, Zhuji Maternal and Child Health Hospital between 2023 and 2024. Combined with literature review, we systematically analyzed the etiological mechanisms, clinical characteristics, and diagnostic-therapeutic strategies of this condition, with particular focus on evaluating the efficacy and safety of conservative pharmacological management. By summarizing case features and individualized treatment protocols, this study aims to provide clinical references for early identification, accurate diagnosis, and rational intervention of UAVF, thereby reducing risks of massive hemorrhage and long-term complications while improving patient prognosis.

BACKGROUND:Lipophagy is closely related to a variety of chronic metabolic diseases.Exercise can delay the pathological process of non-alcoholic fatty liver by regulating lipophagy,which has become one of the most popular studies in the field of sports medicine.OBJECTIVE:To summarize the regulatory role of lipophagy in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and the mechanism of exercise-mediated lipophagy in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.METHODS:CNKI,PubMed,and Web of Science databases were searched for relevant literature published from 1980 to 2025,using the search terms of"lipophagy,lipid metabolism,non-alcoholic fatty liver disease,aerobic exercise,resistance training,combined aerobic resistance exercise"in Chinese and English.Totally 98 documents were included according to inclusion and exclusion criteria.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Lipophagy plays an important regulatory role in the prevention and treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.(2)Different types of exercises affect lipophagy:Aerobic exercise can play a beneficial role can regulate the expression of lipophagy related factors,enhance autophagy flow,improve lysosome biosynthesis and promote the decomposition of lipase.Resistance training can increase the expression of autophagy related factors in adipose tissue.Combined aerobic resistance exercise can increase fat oxidation rate and improve insulin sensitivity.(3)Exercise can treat non-alcoholic fatty liver disease by improving liver inflammation,insulin resistance,and liver function.(4)Exercise plays a key role in the prevention and treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver by regulating lipophagy,reducing lipid accumulation,inhibiting steatosis,alleviating liver inflammation and fibrosis and improving insulin resistance.

Objective:To investigate dietary patterns under social jet lag in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and analyze its relationship with blood glucose control and delivery outcomes, to provide a reference for comprehensive management of pregnant women with GDM.Methods:A cross-sectional study method was used to select pregnant women with GDM during their stay in the obstetrics ward of the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from October 2022 to December 2023 as the study population. Social jet lag and dietary information were collected using Simplified Food Frequency Questionnaire and Self-assessment Questionnaire on Social Jet Lag. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between dietary patterns and blood glucose control as well as delivery outcomes. Receiver operating characteristic curve was used to analyze the predictive performance of social jet lag, dietary patterns and fasting blood glucose for cesarean section.Results:A total of 350 pregnant women with GDM were included, 140 pregnant women with social time lag, aged (31.97 ± 3.88) years old; 210 pregnant women without social time lag, aged (32.32 ± 3.91) years old. The plant-based dietary pattern factor, fast food dietary pattern factor, and the intakes of protein, fat, and carbohydrates of pregnant women with social jet lag were -0.06 (-0.25, 0.32) and 0.08 (-0.43, 0.66), (119.57 ± 89.77) g, (82.69 ± 59.48) g, (228.77 ± 140.18) g, compared with pregnant women without social jet lag [-0.21 (-0.39, 0.08), -0.24 (-0.57, 0.07), (86.29 ± 47.75) g, (57.31 ± 37.86) g, (170.79 ± 85.56) g], the differences were statistically significant ( Z=-2.39, -2.86, t=81.43, 90.78, 88.34, all P<0.05). The social jet lag of GDM women was positively correlated with plant-based dietary patterns, fast food dietary patterns, fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin and cesarean section ( r values were 0.19-0.24, all P<0.05). The plant-based dietary pattern of pregnant women with GDM was negatively correlated with fasting blood glucose and cesarean section ( r=-0.17, -0.24, both P<0.05), while the fast food dietary pattern was positively correlated with fasting blood glucose and cesarean section ( r=0.20, 0.19, both P<0.05). The area under the curve in the combined prediction of multiple factors such as social jet lag, plant-based dietary pattern, fast food dietary pattern and fasting blood glucose for the outcome of cesarean section during pregnancy was 0.742. Conclusions:The dietary structure of GDM women with social jet lag is unreasonable, consume more carbohydrates, sugar, and fats, which are associated with poor glycemic control and increased cesarean section rate. Medical staff should be alerted to social jet lag preferences and dietary intake of GDM and include them in the risk assessment of adverse outcomes of GDM, give timely correction and strengthen management, which can provide a reference for early preventive interventions for GDM with different risk stratification.

Objective To construct a nursing follow-up checklist for patients undergoing autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation,providing a basis for postoperative follow-up care.Methods Using evidence-based methods,the literature from major guide websites and databases using Chinese and English search terms was retrieved,and their quality was evaluated.The relevant items were extracted,and a first draft was formed.15 experts were selected in relevant fields from 14 tertiary hospitals in 13 provinces,cities,and autonomous regions across the country for Delphi inquiry.The nursing follow-up checklist was revised again based on expert opinions and clinical practice.The nursing follow-up checklist was initially applied and then revised again to form the final draft.Results 15 experts include 12 undergraduate and 3 master's degree holders.The positivity coefficients of the 2 rounds of inquiry were 100％;the authority coefficients of the experts were 0.815;the Kendall coefficients were 0.119 and 0.144,respectively;the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.001).The final nursing follow-up checklist was formed,which includes 6 primary indicators,including physiological status,psychological status,social and family support,living conditions,disease knowledge,and laboratory tests.19 patients(95％)found the follow-up content to be comprehensive.The follow-up nurses's satisfaction rate exceeded 85％.There were 27 secondary indicators and 61 tertiary indicators,with coefficients of variation of all indicators less than 0.25.Conclusion The nursing follow-up checklist is scientific,reliable,and practical,which can provide a basis for clinical nursing staff to follow up and comprehensively manage patients after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Objective To analyze the risk factors for upper arm ports(UAP)related infections and develop a nomogram for predicting the UAP related infections.Methods Patients(n=6 028)with UAP between 2014 and 2023 in Renji Hospital,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine were included and assigned to a training set(n=4 219)or a validation set(n=1 809).Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator(LASSO)regression were built and non-zero factors were screened out.Multivariate logistic regression was performed for these non-zero factors to screen significant factors out for constructing a prediction model.The performance of the model was evaluated by the area under curve(AUC)of the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves,calibration curves,the decision curve analysis(DCA)curve,and clinical impact curves(CICs)in both training set and validation set.Results The model incorporated gender,venous access,venous status,catheter-related thrombosis(CRT),and diameter of catheter.The model performed well.The AUC of ROC was 0.801 in the training set and 0.746 in the validation set.The calibration curve was close to the ideal curve,indicating good discriminative ability of the model.The DCA curve suggested that the model could help make beneficial clinical decisions when the risk assessment value was 30％-41％.CICs proved that the model had good clinical value.Conclusions A model was successfully constructed to predict UAP-related infections.The brachial/basilic vein and 5F catheter was proposed as the first choice.Thicker catheter diameter,male,CRT,abnormal venous status,and axillary vein approach may increase the risk of UAP related infection.

Objective:To compare the performance differences of domestic and imported CD3/CD28 activation beads for manufacturing CAR-T cells,providing a backup or alternative for domestic CAR-T cell research and manufacture.Methods:A mature protocol using imported CD3/CD28 activation beads with a 1∶1 ratio for CD3+T cells was implemented as research control.Domestic beads were used with gradient ratios of 1∶2,1∶1,and 2∶1 to activate T cells.72 h after T cell activation,CAR-T cells were manufactured by CAR lentiviral infection and cell proliferation was monitored at 2-,4-,and 7-days post-infection.Flow Cytometry was used to detect CAR-T cell positivity 5 days after infection and to detectCD4/CD8 phenotype of CAR-T cells and PD1+TIM3+cell exhaustion ratio 8 days after infection.Results:CAR-T cells manufactured by domestic CD3/CD28 activation beads exhibited similar phenotype compared with those manufactured by imported CD4/CD8 beads.The positive rate of CAR-T cells prepared with domestic beads was slightly lower than that of imported beads(53.7%vs 57.9%).However,the proliferation of CAR-T cells manufactured by domestic beads was about twice that of cells manufactured by imported beads,and the exhaustion level was only half that of imported beads(4.21%vs 7.91%).Moreover,the use of domestic magnetic beads was lower than that of imported magnetic beads,which was advantageous for cutting the costs of CAR-T cells research and manufacture.Conclusion:Domestic CD3/CD28 activation beads used for CAR-T cells manufacturing demonstrate comparable overall performance to their imported counterparts,showing potential as a backup or alternative for imported beads.

Aim To examine the pathogenesis of disul-fide death gene in vascular dementia(VD)by bioin-formatics analysis of disulfide death differentially ex-pressed genes(DEGs)combined with experimental verification.Methods The death DEGs of disulfide were screened and their correlation was analyzed.The VD patients data in the data set were analyzed by clus-tering and typing and gene set variation.The clustering risk of DEGs was tested with a nomogram model,and the optimal learning model was predicted.After the es-tablishment of VD rat model,water maze test,HE stai-ning and RT-qPCR detection were performed to verify the results of health information.Results Four DEGs including SLC7A11 were obtained,which had antago-nistic or synergistic interaction with each other.The genetic data could be divided into two subtypes with significant differences.After typing,VD disulfide DEGs were mainly concentrated in GnRH signaling pathways.The accuracy of the nomogram prediction model was high.Generalized linear was the best ma-chine learning model.Compared with the sham opera-tion group,the escape latency of rats in the model group was prolonged,the number of crossing platforms decreased,the relative mRNA expression levels of Slc3a2 and Slc7a11 decreased,and LRPPRC in-creased.Conclusions SLC7A11 and other disulfide death DEGs and its related GnRH signaling pathway may be an important part of the pathogenesis of VD di-sulfide death.SLC3A2,LRPPRC and SLC7A11 can be used as characteristic genes in the regulation of VD by disulfide death,which may affect VD progression through the regulation of disulfide death.
