The Proctor's reporting guideline for implementation strategies represents a landmark framework in the field of implementation science, aiming to address the issue of inconsistent reporting in implementation research by standardizing the naming, definition, and operationalization of implementation strategies, thereby enhancing the credibility and utility of research findings. This paper provides an in-depth interpretation of the core connotations of this reporting guideline and illustrates its application in developing interview outlines and specifying implementation strategies, using a brief smoking cessation intervention project as a case study. Through this reporting guideline, abstract recommendations for implementation are systematically transformed into clear, multidimensional operational guides, significantly improving the transparency of strategy connotations and the replicability of actual execution. Meanwhile, the case study highlights the flexibility of the guideline, which allows researchers to adapt the content and format of strategies based on local resources and cultural contexts, thus enhancing practical adaptability while maintaining scientific rigor. However, the application of Proctor's reporting guideline still faces challenges, primarily manifested in the potential confusion surrounding the constructs of temporality and dose in practice, as well as the challenges that the inherent flexibility of the guideline may pose to the assessment of fidelity and effectiveness. Despite these limitations, the reporting guideline remains a vital tool for implementation research; future efforts should focus on optimizing its application—through refining operational guidelines, standardizing flexible adaptations, and involving stakeholders—to better guide implementation studies and continuously promote high-quality development in the field.

With the increase in the obese population and the aging of the society,the incidence rates of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)and obstructive sleep apnea(OSA)continue to increase,and more than half of the patients with T2DM also suffer from OSA.T2DM patients with OSA have a higher risk of developing macrovascular and microvascular complications,which severely impairs their quality of life,and early identification of T2DM patients with OSA can improve their prognosis.This article summarizes the latest re-search advances in the pathogenesis,biomarkers,and treatment measures of T2DM with OSA,in order to provide insights for the screening,diagnosis,and treatment of T2DM with OSA.

Hashimoto's thyroiditis(HT)is an autoimmune thyroid disease characterized by diffuse enlargement of thyroid gland and elevated thyroid autoantibodies.HT is closely related to emotional factors,conveyance and dispersion function of the liver,and the qi movement of the five zang organs.This paper explores the approach to the differentiation and treatment of HT based on Professor Yang Shuyu's view of regulation of both mind and body.In the view of regulation of both mind and body,the regulation of mind is to harmonize emotions,and the regulation of body refers to the conveyance and dispersion function of zang-fu organs.Based on the view of regulation of both mind and body,the pathological changes of HT are characterized by the disordered conveyance and dispersion of qi movement,and the stable phase,hyperthyroid phase,and hypothyroid phase of HT correspond to obstructed conveyance and dispersion,excessive conveyance and dispersion,and insufficient conveyance and dispersion,respectively.The emotional disorders caused by the failure of mind regulation exist throughout the disease course.Therefore,the treatment of HT can be conducted by using the therapies of unblocking,suppressing,and tonifying separately for stable phase,hyperthyroid phase,and hypothyroid phase to address the root cause,and then the conveyance and dispersion of visceral qi movement are restored.Besides,the therapeutic method of resolution is used to alleviate symptoms by removing goiter and dissipating nodules.Simultaneously,emotional regulation therapy is incorporated to achieve a comprehensive efficacy for harmonizing physique-spirit and mind-body through the regulation of emotions,conveyance and dispersion of qi movement,and visceral functions.The view of regulation of both mind and body provides new methods and approaches for traditional Chinese medicine management of HT.

ObjectiveTo investigate the intervention effect of Jiedu Tongluo Tiaogan prescription （JTTP） in protecting pancreatic β cells by targeting the bile acid Takeda G protein-coupled receptor 5 （TGR5）/cyclic adenosine monophosphate （cAMP） signaling pathway against NOD-like receptor protein 3 （NLRP3） inflammasome. MethodThirty-two male SPF-grade db/db mice were randomly divided into the model group， low-dose JTTP group （3.6 g·kg^-1）， high-dose JTTP group （7.2 g·kg^-1）， and metformin group （0.2 g·kg^-1）. Eight db/m mice were assigned to the blank control group. The mice were treated with drugs for 8 weeks， and fasting blood glucose （FBG） was measured every 2 weeks. Oral glucose tolerance tests （OGTT） were conducted after the last administration. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was performed to detect fasting insulin （FINS）， and the homeostasis model assessment of β-cell function （HOMA-β）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， and IL-1β levels were calculated. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to observe pathological changes in mouse pancreatic tissue. Immunofluorescence was performed to detect insulin expression in mouse pancreatic tissue. Western blot and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） were used to detect the expression of proteins and mRNAs of key targets in the TGR5/cAMP signaling pathway and NLRP3 inflammasome. ResultCompared with blank group， FBG， OGTT， FINS， IL-6， TNF-α and IL-1β in model group were significantly increased （P<0.01）. Compared with model group， after 6 weeks of drug treatment， FBG level in JTTP group and metformin group decreased significantly （P<0.01）. The results of OGTT experiment showed that compared with model group， the blood glucose levels of mice in each administration group were decreased at all time points （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the levels of FINS， TNF-α and IL-6 in JTTP dose groups and metformin group were significantly decreased. The level of IL-1β in JTTP high-dose group and metformin group was significantly decreased （P<0.01）. Pancreatic pathology showed that the islets in the model group were irregular in shape， uneven in distribution， and showed signs of atrophy. The prognosis of JTTP was that the cell count increased and the boundary was clearer. Immunofluorescence results showed that the islet cells in the blank group were arranged in an orderly and full shape with appropriate insulin secretion， while the islet cells in model group were distorted in shape， atrophy in structure and less insulin secretion. The insulin content of mice in JTTP and metformin group was significantly increased. Compared with blank group， mRNA expressions of NLRP3， apoptosis-related spot-like protein （ASC） and Caspase-1 in pancreatic tissues of model group were significantly increased （P<0.01）. Compared with model group， JTTP high-dose group and metformin group promoted the up-regulation of TGR5 and cAMP mRNA， and down-regulated the mRNA expressions of NLRP3， ASC and Caspase-1 （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with blank group， the expression of TGR5 protein in model group was significantly decreased （P<0.01）. Compared with model group， TGR5 protein in JTTP high-dose group and metformin group was significantly increased （P<0.01）.

Objective To analyze the stress distributions of two root canal preparation shapes of oval root canals with micro-crack.Methods Twenty single-canal mandibular premolars with oval canals were expanded to create micro-cracks.Roots were sectioned after staining.The generation and distribution of dentin micro-cracks were observed under microscope.Then a finite element(FE)model of sectioned enlarged oval canal roots with micro-cracks was established.The stress distribution of micro-crack and root were analyzed under lateral loading.Results Cracks always appeared in the buccolingual sides of oval canal roots and extended from the intracanal wall to the root surface.This was consistent with the stress concentration on the buccolingual side of the root canal wall shown by FE analysis.When micro-cracks occurred,stresses were transferred to the crack tip and the peak values increased sharply nearly 5 times.This made the cracks propagate easily along this direction,especially in the long axis direction of the tooth.Conclusions The presence of micro-cracks does not change the general stress concentration on root with two preparation morphologies of oval canals.However,the micro-crack causes an extreme stress concentration in the crack tip.This may be the mechanism of rapid propagation of microcracks into vertical root fracture,and dentists need to pay high attention.

Objective To explore the automated identification and diameter measurement methods for inferior vena cava (IVC) based on clinical ultrasound images of IVC. Methods An automated identification and localization method based on topology and automatic tracking algorithm was proposed. Tracking algorithm was used for identifying and continuously locating to improve the efficiency and accuracy of measurement. Tests were conducted on 18 sets of ultrasound data collected from 18 patients in intensive care unit (ICU),with clinicians' measurements as the gold standard. Results The recognition accuracy of the automated method was 94.44％ (17/18),and the measurement error of IVC diameter was within the range of±1.96s (s was the standard deviation). The automated method could replace the manual method. Conclusion The proposed IVC automated identification and localization algorithm based on topology and automatic tracking algorithm has high recognition success rate and IVC diameter measurement accuracy. It can assist clinicians in identifying and locating IVC,so as to improve the accuracy of IVC measurement.

Objective:To explore the perceived stress and coping experience of spouses of elderly people with long-term disability and empty nest.Methods:Using phenomenological research methods, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 19 spouses of disabled elderly people in a community in Beijing from February to June 2023, and data analysis was conducted using Colaizzi's 7-step analysis method.Results:The perceived stress and coping experience of spouses of long-term disabled empty nest elderly people were summarized into three themes and ten sub-themes, namely, the dynamic and variable stress perception of spouses (stress changed synchronously with the state of disabled elderly people, stress changed in a "U" shape, and pressure increased in a progressive manner), the challenges for spouses in long-term care of disabled elderly people (difficult in unifying opinions and views, incomprehensible inner emotions, difficulty in ensuring their elderly care, and coexistence of multiple roles and identities) and positive coping experiences and strategies of spouses (actively seeking external support, respecting the subjective wishes of disabled elderly people, and improving dyadic coping abilities) .Conclusions:Community nursing staff should support and guide spouses who undertake care work based on changes in perceived stress characteristics of long-term disabled empty nest elderly people. At the same time, it is necessary to understand the various challenges they face in long-term care, draw on positive coping experiences of spouses, so as to provide a basis for building a friendly family support system for home-based elderly care.

Objective:To detect and analyze the gene variation types of 64 unrelated pedigrees affected with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), and explore the detection efficiency of multiple gene analysis techniques and variation characteristics.Methods:It was a cross-sectional study. The clinical data of 64 pedigrees with ADPKD from Nephrology Department or Genetic and Prenatal Diagnosis Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from December 2017 to August 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The blood samples of probands and other family members were collected. Genetic analysis was carried out by next generation sequencing, and suspected mutations were verified by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification, or long-range PCR combined with Sanger sequencing. Prenatal diagnosis for high-risk fetuses was performed by fetal villi or amniotic fluid cells after genotyping without maternal genomic DNA contamination.Results:Among detected 64 pedigrees, 57 pedigrees (89.06%) had genetic variants in PKD1/PKD2. A total of 49 pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants in PKD1/PKD2 were identified in 51 pedigrees (79.69%), including 14 nonsense variants (28.57%), 14 frameshift variants (28.57%), 11 missense variants (22.45%), 5 splicing variants (10.20%) and 5 deletion variants (10.20%). Of these variants, 87.76% (43/49) were in PKD1 and 12.24% (6/49) were in PKD2. Totally, 14 novel variants in PKD1/ PKD2 were identified, including 7 frameshift variants, 3 splicing variants, 2 nonsense variants, 1 deletion variant and 1 missense variant, of which 11 variants were in PKD1 and 3 variants were in PKD2. Twenty high-risk fetuses from 17 pedigrees received prenatal diagnosis, in whom 6 fetuses had PKD1 variation, and other 14 fetuses had no PKD1/ PKD2-genetic variation. Conclusions:The combination of next-generation sequencing, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification, and long-range PCR combined with Sanger sequencing can be helpful for rapid, efficient and accurate genetic diagnosis of ADPKD pedigrees. Point mutations are the most common types in PKD1/PKD2. Fourteen novel variants in PKD1/PKD2 extend its pathogenic variant spectrum and can provide basis for genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis of ADPKD pedigrees.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical and genetic characteristics of three children with KBG syndrome. METHODS: Clinical data of the three children from two families who have presented at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University between October 2019 and September 2020 and their family members were collected. Trio-whole exome sequencing (trio-WES) and Sanger sequencing were carried out. RESULTS: All children had feeding difficulties, congenital heart defects and facial dysmorphism. The sib- pair from family 1 was found to harbor a novel de novo heterozygous c.6270delT (p.Q2091Rfs*84) variant of the ANKRD11 gene, whilst the child from family 2 was found to harbor a novel heterozygous c.6858delC (p.D2286Efs*51) variant of the ANKRD11 gene, which was inherited from his mother who had a mild clinical phenotype. CONCLUSION The heterozygous frameshift variants of the ANKRD11 gene probably underlay the disease in the three children. Above findings have enriched the spectrum of the ANKRD11 gene variants.
