The introduction of national dementia action plans will further drive the development of service systems for the continuum of care for cognitive disorders. However， current healthcare delivery models are often plagued by resource wastage and inefficiency. Grounded in the medical service chain theory， integrating healthcare and social resources through service teams to build a more efficient service system centered on patients' needs holds promise for improving both the quality and efficiency of care. This article reviews the construction of the continuum of care service chain for cognitive disorders， analyzes the potential value of social prescribing as an innovative service model， and explores the role of digital platforms in optimizing care process coordination and enabling information sharing， with the aim of providing a practical reference for the coordinated operation of the continuum of care for cognitive disorders.

BACKGROUND:The quadriceps strength of patients with osteoporosis and sarcopenia is significantly reduced,which can further reduce the function of the knee joint,affect the function of the lower limbs and even lead to a decrease in whole-body coordination.It is speculated that a reasonable quadriceps training program and personalized guidance are beneficial to the recovery of knee joint function in patients with osteoporosis and sarcopenia.OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of short-term moderate-intensity resistance rehabilitation training on the mass and function of the quadriceps and knee joint function in patients with osteoporosis and sarcopenia.METHODS:Using the integrated physical examination and rehabilitation model,375 patients with osteoporosis and sarcopenia were screened at the Health Management Center of Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center.They underwent 12 weeks of combined/comprehensive exercise rehabilitation based on resistance exercise,including quadriceps resistance isotonic and isometric contraction training twice a week(3-5 sets each time,10-15 minutes per set)and aerobic exercise/balance exercise two or three times a week(30 minutes each time).Assessments and data collection were performed before rehabilitation training,12 weeks after rehabilitation training,and at follow-up 12 weeks after stopping rehabilitation training,mainly including knee joint range of motion and proprioception,quadriceps muscle strength,and cross-sectional area(magnetic resonance imaging results),pain,knee joint function(Hospital for Special Surgery score)and walking function("up-and-go"time and 6 m pace test results)as well as the patient's psychological status assessment.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:All 375 patients completed 12 weeks of rehabilitation training and 12 weeks of follow-up without any adverse events.(1)Compared with before training,the patients' gait speed and knee range of motion increased significantly after 12 weeks of rehabilitation training(P＜0.01),the time of"stand-to-walk"decreased(P＜0.01),and the proprioception of the knee joint and the strength of the quadriceps femoris were significantly improved(P＜0.01);and at the follow-up visit 12 weeks after stopping training,the above indicators and functions of the patients were well maintained(P＞0.05).(2)Magnetic resonance imaging results showed that the effective cross-sectional area of the quadriceps femoris did not improve significantly after 12 weeks of rehabilitation training(P＞0.05);but the Hospital for Special Surgery score of knee joint function increased significantly(P＜0.01),and the visual analog pain scale score decreased significantly(P＜0.01),suggesting that this may be related to the improvement of quadriceps femoris quality by resistance rehabilitation training.(3)The results of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale score showed that the anxiety and depression scores of the patients continued to decrease,both at 12 weeks of rehabilitation training and at 12 weeks after stopping training(P＜0.01).It is suggested that resistance rehabilitation training of the quadriceps can help patients with osteoporosis and sarcopenia to restore quadriceps muscle strength,increase range of motion,improve proprioception and joint stability,thereby enhancing knee joint function,reducing pain,improving depression and anxiety,and to a certain extent promoting the coordinated recovery of the musculoskeletal system.

ObjectiveTo screen and identify the key proteins of Monkeypox Virus （MPXV） that regulate the NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 （NLRP3） inflammasome. MethodsUsing the genomic sequence of the domestic epidemic strain of MPXV as a template to construct an expression plasmid library containing 82 viral genes. To screen for viral genes that significantly inhibit the production of interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， the expression plasmids encoding NLRP3， apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD （ASC）， cysteine protease-1（Caspase-1）， and pro-IL-1β-Luc reporter gene were co-transfected into HEK293T cells， along with the viral gene plasmids. The signal of the NLRP3 inflammasome was monitored by measuring luciferase activity in the cell supernatant. The inhibition effects were further confirmed by Western Blot （WB）， and the interactions between the viral proteins and the components of the NLRP3 inflammasome were determined by Co-immunoprecipitation （Co-IP）. Additionally， site-directed mutagenesis was performed to identify the specific interaction motifs. ResultsAn NLRP3 inflammasome signal screening system were successfully established and optimized. Screening the MPXV plasmids using this system revealed that B10R most significantly inhibits IL-1β maturation in a dose-dependent manner （P＜0.000 1）. Further characterization demonstrated that B10R interacts directly with pro-IL-1β. Notably， the C-terminal motif mutant of B10R （B10Rmut-C， T96A， Y97A， I98A） lost its ability to interact with pro-IL-1β. ConclusionsThe MPXV B10R protein interacts with pro-IL-1β， thereby inhibiting the IL-1β maturation. The C-terminal motif （T96， Y97， I98） of the B10R protein is crucial for function. This study provides important clues and a foundation for further elucidating the molecular mechanisms by which MPXV regulates the NLRP3 inflammasome.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the quality of Zhachong-13 pills.METHODS The contents of agarotetrol， costunolide， hypaconitine， dehydrocostus lactone， mesaconitine， aconitine， liquiritigenin， glycyrrhizic acid， ellagic acid， liquiritin， corilagin， and gallic acid in 18 batches of samples were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem triple quadrupole mass spectrometry （HPLC-MS/MS） method. Cluster analysis （CA） was performed using the Microbioinformatics online analysis platform. Principal component analysis （PCA） and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis （OPLS-DA） were performed using SIMCA 14.1 software. Random forest， extremely randomized trees， and extreme gradient boosting machine learning models were constructed using the SPSSAU online analysis platform. The comprehensive quality of the samples was evaluated by the entropy weight-technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution （TOPSIS） method.RESULTS The contents of the above 12 components were 104.331-694.382， 652.217-1 085.075， 6.051-130.980， 612.174-1 417.179， 1.018-32.239， 0.953-24.967， 65.552-652.239， 2 019.412-5 385.807， 52.867-4 990.450， 156.307-883.180， 10.142-475.722， and 1 102.863-4 826.396 μg/g， respectively. The results of CA and PCA showed that the 18 batches of samples were divided into two categories： S1-S6， S10-S15 were grouped into one category， while S7-S9 and S16-S18 were grouped into another category. The OPLS-DA results showed that the variable importance in projection values of mesaconitine， glycyrrhizic acid， liquiritin， ellagic acid， hypaconitine， liquiritigenin， agarotetrol， gallic acid， and dehydrocostus lactone were greater than 1. The results of the three machine learning models showed that ellagic acid and hypaconitine had relatively large differential contributions. The entropy weight-TOPSIS results showed that the overall quality of samples from manufacturer B was superior to that of the other four manufacturers.CONCLUSIONS The established method is stable and feasible， and can be used to evaluate the quality of Zhachong-13 pills， in combination with multivariate statistical analysis. Ellagic acid and hypaconitine are differential markers that affect its quality.

Renal fibrosis is the common pathological endpoint of many forms of chronic kidney disease (CKD), yet the mechanisms determining effective repair versus persistent fibrotic remodeling remain incompletely understood. Peritubular capillaries (PTCs) are not merely passive targets of fibrotic injury, but form a dynamic vascular microenvironment linking regional perfusion, oxygen delivery, tubular metabolism, endothelial barrier integrity, pericyte support, immune-cell trafficking, and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. We propose that PTC abnormalities should not be interpreted simply as reduced capillary density, but as a multidimensional disturbance of microvascular structure and function. Structural vascular preservation does not necessarily indicate effective microcirculation: anatomically detectable capillaries may still exhibit impaired perfusion, barrier dysfunction, abnormal endothelial-pericyte interactions, disturbed oxygen metabolism, or reduced network connectivity. Conversely, increased angiogenesis does not necessarily signify successful vascular repair if vessels remain immature, poorly perfused, or inadequately integrated into the existing network. To organize these abnormalities, we conceptualize PTC remodeling into four predominant but nonexclusive states: endothelial barrier disruption with inflammatory adhesion; endothelial-pericyte uncoupling with no-reflow; dysregulated angiogenesis with network simplification; and capillary rarefaction with fibrotic matrix locking. These states are not sequential stages of CKD. They may coexist within the same kidney, overlap within the same anatomical region, and vary with disease etiology, injury phase, vascular compartment, and treatment exposure. We further propose six dimensions for evaluating PTC status—structural presence, functional perfusion, barrier integrity, pericyte coupling, oxygen metabolism, and network connectivity—so that vascular quantity, function, and reparative capacity are assessed separately rather than inferred from a single endothelial marker or capillary-density measurement. Mechanistically, these states converge on a bidirectional microvascular-fibrotic feedback loop. Barrier disruption facilitates leukocyte recruitment and alters vascular paracrine signaling. Endothelial-pericyte uncoupling compromises capillary stability, whereas abnormal pericyte contraction may increase local vascular resistance and contribute to no-reflow before overt capillary loss. Dysregulated angiogenesis may generate vessels that fail to mature or connect to an effective perfusion network. Progressive capillary rarefaction compromises oxygen delivery, while sustained tubular transport demand and mitochondrial dysfunction may aggravate regional oxygen supply-demand mismatch. Injured tubules, immune cells, endothelial cells, pericytes, and fibroblasts communicate through soluble mediators, extracellular vesicles, direct cell contact, and cell-matrix signaling. Importantly, fibrosis is not merely a downstream consequence of microvascular injury. Altered ECM may increase diffusion distance, modify mechanotransduction, impair endothelial survival and migration, and restrict capillary reopening and regeneration. We use the term matrix locking to describe this sustained constraint on vascular repair, while emphasizing that current evidence does not establish irreversible disease in humans. This framework also has therapeutic implications. PTC-directed treatment should not be reduced to increasing vessel number or uniformly promoting angiogenesis. Instead, intervention should be matched to the dominant and potentially reversible abnormality: preserving endothelial barrier function; restoring endothelial-pericyte stability and reducing pathological microvascular resistance; normalizing angiogenesis so that vascular growth is accompanied by maturation, barrier competence, network integration, and effective perfusion; and, in advanced rarefaction, relieving matrix-related constraints while supporting vascular regeneration. The context- and time-dependent effects of signaling through VEGF, Tie2, PDGF-B/PDGFRβ, eNOS/NO, and related pathways indicate that the same molecular signal may exert different effects depending on disease context and timing. Therapeutic efficacy should therefore be evaluated by restoration of effective microcirculation and tissue function rather than by isolated molecular changes or capillary counts alone. Despite increasing mechanistic evidence, the translational basis for this framework remains limited. Most causal and interventional data derive from animal or cell models, whereas human evidence is largely limited to pathological observations, patient-sample associations, and prognostic studies. Currently available circulating and urinary candidate biomarkers generally lack sufficient specificity for PTC injury or state assignment, and no standardized quantitative thresholds have been externally validated. The four-state model should therefore be regarded as a hypothesis-generating analytical framework rather than a clinicopathological classification system. Future studies should integrate spatially resolved tissue phenotyping, blood and urine biomarkers, and dynamic microcirculatory assessment in longitudinal cohorts. They should test reproducibility, assess prognostic value beyond conventional pathology, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and proteinuria, and determine whether changes in PTC status precede or mediate therapeutic benefit. Linking reproducible microvascular phenotypes to defined mechanisms, treatment response, and long-term renal outcomes will be essential to determine whether state-directed assessment and restoration of the PTC microenvironment can ultimately inform patient stratification and therapeutic decision-making.

Objective:To investigate the status quo of occult hepatitis B virus infection (OBI) among blood donors in certain region and to explore the characteristics of amino acid variation between antibody to hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAb) and S region.Methods:The qualified blood samples from January 2019 to December 2022 were collected, and the OBI samples were screened by ELISA and HBV DNA. The OBI samples were quantitatively detected by HBcAb and HBV DNA and analyzed by HBV S region sequencing.Results:A total of 126 OBI positive samples were detected out of 188933 samples, the detection rate was 0.07%, and there was no significant difference in the detection rate of OBI between gender and blood donation times ( P>0.05). The highest OBI detection rate was found in 46-55 years old group (0.15%), other education group (0.35%) and occupational workers group (0.13%). The total detection rate of HBcAb (+ ) in 126 OBI samples was 90.48%. As the S/CO value of HBcAb (+ ) increased, the positive detection rate of HBV DNA also increased, and the correlation coefficient between HBcAb (+ ) and the quantitative value of HBV DNA was 0.782. The proportion of HBV B genotype in OBI blood donors was the highest (73.08%). A total of 15 OBI-related mutation sites were found, and there was no statistically significant difference among the mutation sites. Conclusions:OBI exists in blood donors in certain region, and HBcAb (+ ) is moderately positively correlated with the quantitative value of HBV DNA. HBV infection in OBI blood donors is mainly type B.

Objective:To analyze the application of antitoxin therapy in severe infant botulism.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 14 cases of severe infant botulism treated at 3 pediatric medical centers from July 2020 to August 2024. This study investigated antitoxin dosage, treatment duration, discontinuation criteria and adverse reactions.Results:A total of 14 cases (12 males and 2 females) were included, with an age of 5.0 (3.8, 7.0) months. Botulinum toxin typing revealed 10 cases of Type B, 2 cases of Type A and 2 untyped cases. The interval from symptom onset to antitoxin administration was 9.0 (6.0, 11.5) d. The initial dosage of type A antitoxin was 12 500 (10 000, 22 500) U, while type B was 5 000 (5 000, 5 000) U. The dosage was tapered in some cases after symptom improvement, the duration of treatment was 16.5 (9.8, 25.3) d. In total, 11 infants discontinued medications after improvement in muscle strength, while 3 infants discontinued treatment after obtaining negative results from fecal mouse bioassays. Adverse events were reported in 2 cases, both of which resulted in rash, and 1 case was complicated with anaphylactic shock. All the patients survived upon discharge with a follow-up period of 11 d to 3 years and 8 months. Totally 12 infants had fully recovered, while 2 infants were still recovering after discharge.Conclusion:Antitoxin therapy is a feasible and safe approach which showed favorable prognosis in severe infant botulism.

Laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy (LSC) has been a safe and viable alternative to conversion to laparotomy in cases of severe cholecystitis. The objective of this study is to determine the utility of intraoperative choledochoscopy in LSC for the exploration of the gallbladder, cyst duct, and subsequent stone clearance of the cystic duct in cases of severe cholecystitis. A total of 72 patients diagnosed with severe cholecystitis received choledochoscopy-assisted laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy (CALSC). A choledochoscopy was performed to explore the gallbladder cavity and/or cystic duct, and to extract stones using a range of techniques. The clinical records, including the operative records and outcomes, were subjected to analysis. No LSC was converted to open surgery, and no bile duct or vascular injuries were sustained. All stones within the cystic duct were removed by a combination of techniques, including high-frequency needle knife electrotomy, basket, and electrohydraulic lithotripsy. A follow-up examination revealed the absence of residual bile duct stones, with the exception of one common bile duct stone, which was extracted via endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. In certain special cases, CALSC may prove to be an efficacious treatment for the management of severe cholecystitis. This technique allows for optimal comprehension of the situation within the gallbladder cavity and cystic duct, facilitating the removal of stones from the cystic duct and reducing the residue of the non-functional gallbladder remnant.
