Objective To investigate the nutritional quality characteristics of vitamin D3-fortified yogurt and explore its improving effect on vitamin D metabolism in the body under simulated weightlessness,thereby providing a theoretical basis for the development of functional foods.Methods Using reconstituted milk as the matrix and Vitamin D3(VD3)microcapsule powder as the fortifier,VD3-fortified yogurt was prepared.A systematic study was conducted to investigate the effects of different gradients(1.25 μg/100 mL,2.50 μg/100 mL,3.75 μg/100 mL,5.00 μg/100 mL,6.25 μg/100 mL)of VD3 microcapsule addition on its quality characteristics(titratable acidity,solid content,water-holding capacity,syneresis).In vivo assessments were conducted using a Sprague-Dawley(SD)rat tail-suspension model to simulate weightlessness.Levels in serum 25(OH)D3,1,25-(OH)2D3,calcium(Ca),and phosphorus(P)were detected using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)to evaluate its metabolic capacity.Results During fermentation(3 h),titratable acidity of VD?-fortified yogurt initially increased,then decreased,and eventually stabilized with rising microcapsule dosage,while total solid content remained consistent.WHC exhibited an initial increase followed by a decline,whereas syneresis showed an inverse trend.At an optimal dosage of 3.75 μg/100 mL,the yogurt displayed a dense and uniform network structure,characterized by non-Newtonian fluid behavior with shear-thinning properties.This formulation demonstrated robust structural stability under high-frequency mechanical stress,alongside desirable textural,flavor,and sensory attributes.Animal experiments revealed that the serum concentrations of 25(OH)D3,1,25-(OH)2D3,calcium,and phosphorus in the vitamin D?-fortified yogurt intervention group were significantly higher than those in the tail-suspended control group(P<0.05).Conclusion VD? microencapsulation technology effectively preserves and enhances the nutritional quality characteristics of yogurt and mitigates vitamin D metabolic dysregulation under simulated weightlessness.

Objective Pre-packaged space scallion pancakes are prone to quality deterioration during storage due to starch retrogradation and lipid oxidation,which affects their food safety and sensory characteristics.Therefore,investigating their quality changes during storage and predicting shelf life are of great significance for ensuring the quality of space food.Methods study conducted accelerated shelf-life tests at(37±1)℃ and(47±1)℃ under simulated spacecraft food storage conditions.Comprehensive analyses were performed,including physicochemical properties(acid value,peroxide value,carbonyl value),microbiological indicators(total bacterial count,coliforms),color parameters(L*,a*,b*,c*,h°),and texture characteristics(hardness,adhesiveness,etc.).XRD and FTIR were employed to verify starch retrogradation and lipid oxidation.Results Physicochemical properties:The acid value gradually decreased and stabilized with prolonged storage.The peroxide value increased rapidly at 37℃and 47℃,with samples stored at 47℃approaching the safety limit(0.25 g/100 g)within 40 days,while the carbonyl value exhibited a decreasing trend.Microbiological indicators:All samples met the requirements of GJB 4992A-2012.No microbial contamination was detected initially,with only minor bacterial growth observed in later stages,and no coliforms were detected throughout the storage period.Color changes:During storage at 20℃,the a*value increased by 91.67%,while b* and c* values showed significant increases.Meanwhile,L* and h° values decreased by 7.42%and 8.75%,respectively.Texture deterioration:Overall texture characteristics declined,and XRD and FTIR analyses confirmed aggravated starch retrogradation.Shelf-life prediction:Correlation analysis identified peroxide value as the key factor.The established prediction model had an error margin of less than 10%,with predicted shelf lives of 236,121,and 57 days at 20℃,37℃,and 47℃,respectively.Conclusion This study reveals the quality change patterns of space scallion pancakes during storage.The established shelf-life prediction model provides theoretical and methodological support for quality monitoring of pre-packaged space foods.

Objective:To collect data on urinary flow rate in the elderly female population across the country and to analyze the range of reference values.Methods:This study enrolled 333 subjects from July 2020 to June 2022.The study implementation process was divided into two steps.In the first step, subjects completed an electronic questionnaire, which included basic information about the subject, a short form for urinary incontinence, and a scoring form for the symptoms of overactive bladder syndrome.In the second step, the staff introduced the use of a mobile uroflowmetric device and distributed the instrument and materials.Uroflow rate data were automatically uploaded to a cloud database via the mobile phone.Subsequently, two or more physicians specializing in urinary control performed Uroflow rate-qualifying screenings and conducted statistical analyses.Results:A total of 333 subjects were enrolled in the study, and the researchers collected 1375 qualified urine flow rate records using a mobile urine flow rate instrument.The age of the subjects ranged from 60 to 84 years, with a mean age of 69 years.The reference ranges for urinary flow rate were found to be 24.8-26.2 s, with a mean urinary flow rate of 12.2-12.9 ml/s, a maximum urinary flow rate of 22.2-23.4 ml/s, and a time to peak of 8.5-9.7 s. The study observed a tendency for both maximal and mean urinary flow rates to decrease in older women as their age increased(Pearson correlation coefficient: -0.1, P<0.001). Conclusions:The uroflow rate of older women decreases with aging.Specifically, the average uroflow rate of women over 80 years old is lower than that of other age groups.This study aims to establish normal uroflow parameters for uroflowmetry in healthy older women in China.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of in-class transition from proteasome inhibitor bortezomib to ixazomib in the treatment of newly-treated patients with multiple myeloma (MM).Methods:The clinical data of 63 newly-treated MM patients in Shenzhen Second People's Hospital from January 2018 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into transition group (23 cases) and bortezomib group (40 cases). Both groups were treated with bortezomib-containing regimen as the first-line treatment regimen. In case of intolerable adverse reactions, patients in the transition group were treated with ixazomib instead of bortezomib, while the patients in the bortezomib group did not undergo drug transition. The curative effect and progression-free survival (PFS) were compared between the two groups.Results:In the transition group, the overall response rate (ORR) before in-class transition was 95.7% (22/23), the rate of ≥ very good partial remission (VGPR) was 52.2% (12/23); the ORR after transition was 95.7% (22/23), and the rate of ≥ VGPR was 82.6% (19/23). In the bortezomib group, ORR was 90.0% (36/40), and the rate of ≥ VGPR was 72.5% (29/40). There was no significant difference in ORR and the rate of ≥VGPR between the two groups ( χ2 = 0.64, P=0.424; χ2 = 0.82, P = 0.364). The median number of cycles of PI therapy in the transition group was 9, and the median PFS time was not reached. The median number of cycles of PI therapy in the bortezomib group was 7.5, and the median PFS time was 30.0 months (95% CI 19.1-40.9 months), there was no significant difference in PFS between the two groups ( P = 0.275). In the bortezomib group, 12 patients discontinued bortezomib due to adverse reactions, the median PFS time was 20.0 months (95% CI 12.6-27.4 months), and the PFS of patients who discontinued PI in the transition group and the bortezomib group was compared, the difference was statistically significant ( P = 0.043). In the transition group, 21 patients (21/23, 91.3%) developed peripheral neuropathy, and the incidence of ≥grade 3 adverse reactions was 13.0% (3/23); in the bortezomib group, 22 patients (22/40, 55.0%) developed peripheral neuropathy, and the incidence of ≥grade 3 adverse reactions was 12.5% (5/40). Conclusions:For newly-treated MM patients, the transition from bortezomib to ixazomib can improve the depth of remission and reduce the recurrence caused by the discontinuation of PI.

Objective: To observe the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) pretreatment on M1 polarization of alveolar macrophages (AMs) in rats with acute lung injury (ALI) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and to explore the potential protective mechanism of EA.Methods: Forty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a normal group, a model group, and three groups of EA pretreatment [including a Chize (LU5) group, a Zusanli (ST36) group and a Chize (LU5) plus Zusanli (ST36) group], with eight rats in each group. The model rats of ALI were established by instilling LPS [2 mg/(kg·bw)] into the trachea of rats for 3 h. The rats in each EA pretreatment group were pretreated with EA for 30 min per day at the corresponding bilateral acupoints 6 d before instilling LPS. Three hours after modeling, the pulmonary function of the rats was tested, and the lung tissue was taken to calculate the ratio of lung wet weight to dry weight (W/D). The pathological lung changes and the injury score were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining. The contents of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, and myeloperoxidase (MPO) in rat's bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The mRNA and protein expression levels of M1 macrophage markers clusters of differentiation 86 (CD86), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and its signaling pathway factor Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4, and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) p65 in the alveoli were detected by fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blot, respectively. Results: After being induced by LPS, the pulmonary function of the model rats showed that the forced expiratory volume in 0.1 s (FEV0.1), forced expiratory volume in 0.3 s (FEV0.3), and their respective ratios of FEV to forced vital capacity (FVC) (including FEV0.1/FVC and FEV0.3/FVC) were significantly decreased (P<0.01), while the W/D of lung tissue was increased (P<0.01). The score of lung injury was significantly higher (P<0.01). The contents of TNF-α, IL-1β, and MPO in the BALF and the mRNA and protein expression levels of CD86, iNOS, TLR4, and NF-κB p65 in the lung tissue were significantly increased (P<0.01). After EA pretreatment, the FEV0.1, FEV0.3, FEV0.1/FVC, and FEV0.3/FVC were significantly increased, the lung injury score decreased significantly, and the contents of TNF-α, IL-1β, and MPO in the BALF and the expression levels of CD86, iNOS, TLR4, and NF-κB p65 mRNAs and proteins in the alveoli decreased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the other two single acupoint groups, the contents of TNF-α, IL-1β, and MPO in the BALF and the expression levels of CD86, iNOS, TLR4, and NF-κB p65 mRNAs in the alveoli in the Chize (LU5) plus Zusanli (ST36) group were significantly lower (P<0.01). Conclusion: EA pretreatment at Chize (LU5) and Zusanli (ST36) can inhibit inflammation and reduce pulmonary injury in ALI rats induced by LPS. The effect of the combination of Chize (LU5) and Zusanli (ST36) is better than that of using these two acupoints separately, and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of AMs' M1 polarization by down-regulation TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Objective:To explore the effect of online appointment system of standardized patients (SP) in cardiology practice teaching.Methods:The undergraduate students who entered the cardiology department of Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine for clinical practice in 2018 and 2019 were selected as teaching objects, and they were divided into traditional teaching group ( n=30) and appointed SP teaching group ( n=30). After the teaching, SPSS 19.0 software was used for data analysis to compare the teaching effect of the two groups. Results:The scores of SP teaching group were higher than those of traditional teaching control group, with statistical significance ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Through constructing SP database and typical case database, online appointment system of SP for medical history inquiry and doctor-patient communication skills training can effectively solve the problems such as lack of clinical practice cases and doctor-patient contradiction, and greatly improve the teaching efficiency.

Objective:To predict the dose of lumbosacral spine (LS) and pelvic bone marrow (PBM) based on kernel density estimation (KDE) in patients with gynecological tumors.Methods:Fifteen patients with gynecological tumors receiving radiotherapy plans with dose limitation for LS and PBM in our hospital were selected as training data for machine learning. Another 10 cases were selected as the data for model validation. The minimum directional distance between the dose point in the organs and the edge of the planned target volume for the LS and PBM was calculated. Model training was performed by KDE. The accuracy of the model prediction was evaluated by the root mean square error. The model was utilized to predict the actual planned doses of the LS and PBM, and a linear fitting was performed on the predicted dose volume histogram (DVH) and actual results. The prediction effect was assessed by the goodness of fit R 2. Results:In terms of the DVH parameters required by the planner, the prediction doses from the model were similar to those of the verification plans: the difference of PBM V 40Gy was 2.0%, the difference of the mean dose was 1.6 Gy, and the difference of LS V 10Gy was -0.4%. In the unrequired DVH parameters, except for the PBM V 10Gy, the predicted values of the model were significantly high. The difference between the DVH predicted by the model and the actual plan was small, and the R 2 of the LS and PBM were 0.988 and 0.995, respectively. Conclusions:The model based on KDE method can accurately predict the doses of the LS and PBM. This model can also be used as a method to ensure the quality of the plan, and improve the consistency and quality of the plan.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) on inflammatory responses during intestinal mucosal barrier damage caused by gastrointestinal surgery in the rats.Methods:Forty-five healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 7-8 weeks, weighing 220-260 g, were divided into 3 groups ( n=15 each) by a random number table method: control group (C group), gastrointestinal surgery group (S group), and TEAS group (T group). Rats underwent pylorectomy and Roux-en-Y gastrojejunal anastomosis to establish gastrointestinal surgery models in S and T groups, while group C received no treatment.In group T, bilateral Zusanli and Hegu acupoints were stimulated with disperse-dense waves, current intensity 5 mA, frequency 2 Hz, from 30 min before surgery until the end of operation.Only electrode patches were applied, but no stimulation was applied in group S. Five rats were randomly selected from each group and sacrificed at 12, 24 and 48 h after surgery (T 1-3), and ileal tissues were taken after anesthesia.The pathological changes of ileal tissues were observed with a light microscope and scored according to Chiu.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to determine contents of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), diamine oxidase (DAO) and intestinal fatty acid-binding protein (I-FABP). Western blot was used to detect the expression of occludin, claudin-3 and ZO-1.The immunohistochemical method was used to determine the percentage of occludin, claudin and zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) positive cells. Results:Compared with group C, Chiu′s scores and contents of ileal IL-6, TNF-α, DAO and I-FABP were significantly increased, the percentage of occludin, claudin-3 and ZO-1 protein positive cells was decreased, and the expression of occludin, claudin-3 and ZO-1 was down-regulated at T 1-3 in group S and group T ( P<0.05). Compared with group S, Chiu′s scores and contents of ileal IL-6, TNF-α, DAO and I-FABP were significantly decreased, the percentage of occludin, claudin-3 and ZO-1 protein positive cells was increased, and the expression of occludin, claudin-3 and ZO-1 was up-regulated at T 1-3 in group T ( P<0.05). Conclusion:TEAS can reduce the intestinal mucosal barrier damage caused by gastrointestinal surgery by inhibiting the inflammatory response in rats.

Objective To evaluate the effect of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) on intestinal mucosal injury in patients undergoing laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer.Methods Fifty-six American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients,aged 35-64 yr,with body mass index of 18-25 kg/m2,scheduled for elective laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer,were selected and divided into 2 groups (n =28 each) using a random number table method:general anesthesia group (group G) and TEAS combined with general anesthesia group (group TG).In group TG,patients received continuous TEAS at bilateral Neiguan,Hegu,Zusanli,Shangjuxu and Xiajuxu acupoints from 30 min before anesthesia induction until the end of surgery,with a frequency 2/100HZ,disperse dense waves,intensity the maximum current that could be tolerated (3-8 mA).After induction of anesthesia,the patients were endotracheally intubated and mechanically ventilated,and combined intravenous-inhalational anesthesia was used to maintain anesthesia in both groups.Peripheral venous blood samples were collected when entering the operating room (T1),at the end of operation (T2),and at 24 and 72 h after operation (T3,4) for determination of intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP) and diamine oxidase (DAO) in palsma using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Quality of Recovery-9 (QoR9) was used to assess the postoperative quality of recovery at 24 h before surgery (T0),T3 and T4.Results The concentrations of plasma I-FABP and DAO were significantly higher at T2 and T3 than at T1 in G and TG groups (P＜0.05).Compared with the baseline at T0,QoR-9 scores were significantly decreased at T3 and T4 in G and TG groups (P＜0.05).Compared with group G,the concentrations of plasma I-FABP at T2-T4 and DAO at T2 and T3 were significantly decreased,and QoR-9 scores were increased at T3 and T4 in group TG (P＜0.05).Conclusion TEAS can attenuate intestinal mucosal injury in patients undergoing laparoscopic radical resection of colorectal cancer.

Objective To investigate the delay of door to signature time in primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and its influence in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI),therefore to provide a scientific basis for further effective shortening the time of primary PCI in patients with STEMI.Methods A total of 226 patients who diagnosed with STEMI and underwent primary PCI at Henan Provincial People's Hospital from June 2016 to December 2017 were enrolled in the study.Observation indicators include:(1) baseline data of patients;(2) time segments in primary PCI:total ischemic time (TIT),door to balloon time (DTBT),door-to-signature time (DTST),signature to balloon time (STBT);(3) the demographic characteristics of the family members who signed informed consent;and (4) the psychological factors and coping strategies of family members before signing informed consent.All data was analyzed using SPSS software (version 22.0).Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of delay of DTST.A P＜0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results In this study,226 patients with STEMI who were first diagnosed in our hospital had a mean age of 55.23±10.80 years,and 181 (80.1％) were male.The median of TIT,DTBT,DTST,STBT were 312 min,166 min,82 min,and 80 min.The ratio of DTST in DTBT and TIT was 50％ and 28.5％,respectively.The multiple linear regression analysis showed that the number of direct family members (P＜0.001),the degree of educational in middle school and below (P=0.010),high school/technical secondary school (P=0.029),families worrying about the high cost of medical care (P=0.020),families consulted each other repeatedly (P=0.022),and consulted the other medical staff(P=0.022) are risk factors of DTST delay,and city residence (P=0.048) is the protection factor of DTST delay.Conclusions The long time of DTS is a reality of the practice of primary PCI in China.The factors that lead to longer DTST include demographic characteristics,psychological factors and coping strategies of family members.The STBT of primary PCI in China should be taken into the value while emphasizing the DTBT.
