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.

BACKGROUND:During diabetic wound healing,the sustained activation of M1 macrophages exacerbates the inflammatory response and hinders wound repair.Auranofin,an anti-inflammatory drug,has not been clearly studied for its effects on M1 macrophages and its potential role in diabetic wound healing.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of different concentrations of auranofin on the biological function of M1 macrophages and evaluate its potential application in diabetic wound healing.METHODS:RAW264.7 and THP-1 cells were used as research models.M1 polarization was induced using different concentrations of interferon-γ and lipopolysaccharide.M1 macrophages were treated with 1 and 2 μmol/L auranofin.Cell counting kit-8 assay was used to evaluate the effect of auranofin on cell viability.Quantitative real-time PCR was performed to detect mRNA expression of interleukin-1β,interleukin-6,and tumor necrosis factor-α.ELISA was employed to measure the levels of interleukin-1β,interleukin-6,and tumor necrosis factor-α in the supernatant.Western blot analysis was used to assess the expression of nuclear factor-κB(p65),phosphorylated mitogen-activated protein kinases(MAPK),and total MAPK proteins.Additionally,6-8-week-old male C57BL/6J and db/db diabetic mice were used for wound healing experiments,with the mice divided into C57 control,db/db control and auranofin treatment groups,each containing six animals.Dorsal skin defect modeling and treatment with intraperitoneal injection of auranofin were performed to observe wound healing in mice.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Cell experiments showed that co-treatment with interferon-y(10 ng/mL)and lipopolysaccharide(100 ng/mL)significantly induced M1 polarization in RAW264.7 and THP-1 cells,resulting in increased mRNA expression of interleukin-1β,interleukin-6,and tumor necrosis factor-α.Treatment with auranofin(1 and 2 μmol/L)reduced the mRNA expression of these inflammatory factors in the cells and inhibited the secretion of inflammatory factors in the cell supernatant.(2)Auranofin treatment significantly suppressed the activation of nuclear factor-κB(p65)and phosphorylated MAPK signaling pathways.(3)Animal experiments showed that auranofin promoted wound healing in db/db diabetic mice,suggesting that auranofin has strong anti-inflammatory effects and may facilitate the healing of wounds in diabetic mice.

Objective:This study sought to examine the clinicopathological features of monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T-cell lymphoma (MEITL) and to discuss its differential diagnosis.Methods:A total of 36 MEITL cases, collected between June 2015 and January 2024 from the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University and the First Affiliated Hospital, College of Medicine, Zhejiang University, were analyzed. Patients underwent immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization for Epstein-Barr virus-encoded small RNA (EBER), and T-cell receptor (TCR) gene rearrangement testing. Clinical data, laboratory results, and follow-up information were collected for correlation analysis.Results:The cohort included 36 patients (20 males and 16 females) aged 17-76 years (median: 57 years). Tumors outside the intestine were observed in 22 cases (61%). A total of 32 patients (89%) underwent surgical intervention and/or chemotherapy, and one patient received auto-HSCT. The median follow-up duration was 11.5 months (range: 8-73 months), with a median overall survival of 6 months (range: 1-67 months) ; 34 patients died during the follow-up period. Morphologically, nine cases (25%) exhibited significant pleomorphism. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that high expression levels of both P53 and c-Myc were correlated with atypical morphology ( P=0.003 and P=0.016, respectively). Notably, patients with high P53 expression had significantly shorter survival times than those with low P53 expression ( χ2=4.922, P=0.027), whereas survival did not differ significantly based on c-Myc expression levels ( χ2=0.034, P=0.854). Furthermore, a PD-L1 CPS score ≥10 was observed in 22 cases (68.8%). Scattered EBER positivity in background cells was identified in four cases. All tested cases (17/17, 100.0%) showed clonal TCR gene rearrangements. Conclusions:MEITL is a rare but highly aggressive lymphoma with distinct clinical and pathological features. A subset of cases may exhibit atypical morphological patterns, complicating the diagnostic process. Improving awareness of this neoplasm is helpful for early and precise diagnosis as well as the estabolishment of novel therapy regimen.

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.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility and optimal expansion width of replacing the left anterior descending coronary artery (LADCA) with the region of heart sparing (RHS) to reduce cardiac radiation dose during breast cancer radiotherapy.Methods:Retrospective analysis was conducted on data from 88 patients with left-sided breast cancer who underwent radiotherapy at 2 centers: Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University (50 cases for the training set, 15 cases for the internal test set) and Ganzhou Hospital of Nanfang Hospital (23 cases for the external test set) from March 2022 to January 2024. All patients had left-sided invasive ductal carcinoma with axillary lymph node metastasis, and had undergone modified radical mastectomy and chemotherapy. Based on simulation CT images, 2 radiation oncologists delineated the LADCA and 8 RHSs. The RHSs were delineated by expanding the LADCA contour by 0.5 cm increments, totaling 8 expansions. The RHS widths were defined as 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, and 4.0 cm. The nnU-Net model was trained for 3D automatic segmentation of the LADCA and RHSs. Model performance was evaluated using the Dice similarity coefficient (DSC), relative volume error (RVE), sensitivity, specificity, and 95% Hausdorff distance (HD95). Additionally, the minimum, maximum, and average relative dose variations (RDV) as well as V5% and V20% indicators were calculated for the LADCA and each RHS. Correlation analysis was performed using the least squares regression, with the slope and coefficient of determination ( R2) employed to evaluate the accuracy of the model fitting, the relationship between the LADCA and RHS, and the degree of their correlation, thereby assessing the substitutive effect of the RHS for the LADCA. Results:The DSC for the LADCA was 0.415, while the DSCs for RHS widths of 0.5 cm and 4.0 cm were 0.718 and 0.835, respectively. Overall, the automatic segmentation performance improved with increasing RHS width. The DSC, RVE, sensitivity, specificity, and HD95 for the external test set were largely consistent with those of the internal test set, demonstrating the model's good robustness across different datasets. All RDVmin values were negative, while RDVmax and RDVmean showed a positive correlation with RHS width. RDVmean increased from 39.01% to 75.89% as the RHS width increased. In the correlation analysis, the slopes for RHS widths of 1.5 cm and 2.0 cm were 0.95 and 1.05, respectively, with R2 values and coefficients of variation of 0.79 and 0.73, and 21.11% and 24.03%, respectively. Conclusions:The automatic segmentation model trained on nnU-Net can accurately segment RHSs. Based on geometric and dosimetric indicators, a 1.5 cm-wide RHS is the most suitable substitute for the LADCA, effectively limiting the radiation dose to the LADCA without compromising target dose coverage.

Objective To establish an animal model of hand,foot,and mouth disease(HFMD)in Syrian hamsters coinfected with coxsackievirus A6(CVA6)and coxsackievirus B1(CVB1).Methods 42 Syrian hamsters were divided into a CVA6 infection group,CVB1 infection group,CVA6 and CVB1 coinfection group and control group.A HFMD model was established by nasal instillation of virus solution and phosphate-buffered saline.Clinical and physiological indicators and detoxification status were monitored and recorded for 15 d,and animals were selected on day 7(D7)after infection for histopathology and viral antigen and nucleic acid testing.Results Hamsters in the single-infection and coinfection groups showed clinical symptoms similar to human HFMD.White blood cell,neutrophil,and lymphocyte result were characteristic of viral infection.Both viral nucleic acids were detected in throat swabs,feces,blood,and tissues and both viruses were isolated from fecal samples.Pathological damage and positive co-localization of CVA6 and CVB1 viral antigen proteins and nucleic acids were found in brain and other tissues.Conclusions Nasal instillation of a CVA6 and CVB1 mixture can successfully coinfect Syrian hamsters,replicate herpes infection similar to human HFMD,and cause pathological viral myocarditis and encephalitis damage.The result showed that the coinfection group was more seriously affected than the single-infection group,with worse clinical symptoms,increased viral replication,and obvious tissue pathological damage.This study provides a reference for further basic and clinical research into human enterovirus coinfection.
