Objective: To evaluate the intervention effect of digital health education on dietary self-discipline behaviors among college students, so as to provide evidence based support for scientific dietary behavior interventions in the population. Methods: In September 2025, 262 full time undergraduates from Shanghai University of Engineering Science were selected using a stratified random sampling method. Participants were randomly assigned in a 1∶1 ratio using block randomization into an intervention group ( n =131) and a control group ( n =131). The intervention group received a 16 week digital health education program, including artificial intelligence(AI) generated personalized dietary plans, daily push notifications health knowledge, instant feedback on dietary logging, and online fun challenge activities. The control group received traditional health education courses without any additional intervention measures. Structured questionnaires were administered at baseline and post intervention to assess dietary self discipline behaviors, including the consumption frequencies of sugar sweetened beverages, fried foods, fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and breakfast. Chi square test was used to compare dietary self discipline indicators between the two groups before and after the intervention. Results: Before the intervention, there were no statistically significant differences in the composition of the six dietary self discipline behavior indicators between the two groups ( χ 2=0.47-6.11, all P >0.05). After the intervention, the differences in the composition of the six indicators between the two groups were statistically significant ( χ 2=6.78-15.88,all P < 0.05 ). After intervention, regarding risky dietary behaviors, the proportion of zero sugar sweetened beverage consumption in the intervention group increased from 10.69% to 27.48%, whereas in the control group, it increased from only 4.58% to 9.16%; the proportion of zero fried food consumption in the intervention group increased from 9.92% to 26.72%, whereas in the control group, it increased from only 7.63% to 10.69%. In the intervention group, the intake frequencies of both sugar sweetened beverages and fried foods decreased ( t =3.44，3.58, both P <0.01). Regarding protective dietary behaviors，the proportion of zero fruit intake in the intervention group decreased from 9.92% to 3.82%. The proportion of the intervention group consuming vegetables ≥2 times/day increased from 31.30% to 63.36%. The proportion of the intervention group consuming dairy products ≥1 time/day increased from 34.35% to 58.78%, compared with an increase from 41.22% to 42.75% in the control group. In the intervention group, the proportion of regular breakfast consumption (1 time/day) increased from 43.51% to 73.28%. The intake frequencies of fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and breakfast in the intervention group all increased ( t =-4.76, -5.46, -3.87, -5.10,all P <0.01). Conclusion Digital health education can effectively suppress risky dietary behaviors among college students and promote the formation of protective dietary behaviors.

ObjectiveTo explore the effects of "dryness pathogen" on a bronchial asthma rat model from the perspective of the prostaglandin D₂ （PGD₂）/eosinophil （EOS） axis. MethodsForty SD rats were randomly divided into five groups， blank group， asthma group， mild dryness asthma group， moderate dryness asthma group， and severe dryness asthma group， with 8 rats in each group. The asthma model was induced in the asthma group using ovalbumin （OVA）， while the asthma-dryness syndrome groups were modeled using a climate chamber combined with OVA to establish animal models of bronchial asthma with Northwest dryness syndrome. During modeling， general behavioral performance of the rats in each group was observed and recorded， and body weight， water intake， and asthma symptom scores were compared. On day 21 of the modeling， small animal respiratory system testing was used to measure respiratory rate and intermittent respiratory contraction index. Pathological changes in rat lung tissues were observed using HE staining. Giemsa staining was used to observe eosinophil （EOS） infiltration in lung tissues and calculate EOS counts. ELISA was used to detect serum levels of prostaglandin D₂ （PGD₂）， interleukin-5 （IL-5）， and interleukin-4 （IL-4）. Western Blot was used to detect eosinophil peroxidase （EPX） and prostaglandin D₂ receptor （CRTH2） protein levels in rat lung tissues. ResultsCompared to the blank group， the average water intake of rats in all asthma-dryness groups increased （P＜0.01）. The body weight of rats decreased in the moderate and severe asthma-dryness groups on day 14， and in all modelling groups on day 21 （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Across all model groups， the asthma symptom score， respiratory rate， intermittent respiratory contraction index， EOS count in lung tissue， serum levels of PGD₂， IL-5， and IL-4， as well as the relative protein expression levels of EPX and CRTH2 in lung tissue all significantly increased （P＜0.01）. Compared to the asthma group， the water intake of rats in the mild， moderate， and severe asthma-dryness groups increased （P＜0.01）. On day 21 of the experiment， the body weight of rats in the moderate and severe asthma-dryness groups decreased （P＜0.05）， and the respiratory rate of rats in all asthma-dryness groups increased， as well as the serum levels of PGD₂， IL-5， and IL-4， and the relative protein expression levels of EPX and CRTH2 in lung tissues （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Furthermore， in the moderate and severe asthma-dryness groups， the asthma symptom scores and intermittent respiratory contraction indices were elevated， and the EOS counts in lung tissue increased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared to the mild asthma-dryness group， serum levels of PGD₂， IL-5， and IL-4 in the severe asthma-dryness group increased， as well as the relative protein expression levels of EPX and CRTH2 in lung tissue （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Pathological observation showed that rats in all asthma-dryness syndrome groups exhibited increased inflammatory infiltration in the lung tissue， alveolar wall thickening， luminal narrowing， pulmonary interstitial congestion， and aggravated viscous secretions. These pathological manifestations worsened as the degree of dryness increased. ConclusionThe "dryness pathogenic factor" can exacerbate bronchial asthma symptoms and lung tissue pathological damage through the PGD₂/EOS axis， and the damage progressively worsens with the increasing severity of the dryness pathogen.

Aging is an inevitable, physiological process of the human body, leading to deterioration in bodily function and increased susceptibility to various diseases. Effective endogenous therapeutic strategies for anti-aging and related diseases remain limited. Exercise confers multifaceted benefits to physical health by augmenting osteogenic and myogenic processes, enhancing cardiovascular and nervous system function, and attenuating chronic inflammation. Angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis play pivotal roles in anti-aging, tissue repair, and immune response modulation, underscoring their potential as therapeutic targets for age-related diseases. Modulating angiogenic and lymphangiogenic pathways may provide a promising strategy for mitigating vascular decline and immune system dysfunction associated with aging. Exercise-induced endogenous angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis can exert beneficial effects on physiological function, thereby representing a potential therapeutic paradigm for combating age-related decline and diseases. This review offers a thorough summary of the present knowledge regarding angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis induced by exercise, encompassing the underlying mechanisms and the effects in different organs. In addition, it explores the potential of physical activity as a non-pharmacological intervention for anti-aging strategies and disease management, offering novel insights into the intersection of physical activity, aging, and disease progression.

BACKGROUND:Chondrocyte apoptosis is an important factor in the development of osteoarthritis,and Complanatoside A has a flavonoid effect,which can inhibit apoptosis of various cells,but its effect on chondrocyte apoptosis and the mechanism of action are not clear. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the intrinsic association and mechanism of Complanatoside A in chondrocyte apoptosis based on the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. METHODS:(1)The cartilage tissues of the femur and tibia transected during knee arthroplasty were collected,and chondrocytes were isolated,cultured in vitro,and identified.(2)Cell counting kit-8 was used to detect the optimal intervention concentration of Complanatoside A in the concentration range of 0-160 μmol/L.(3)Chondrocytes were divided into blank group,sodium nitroprusside(1.5 mmol/L)-induced group,and sodium nitroprusside(1.5 mmol/L)+Complanatoside A(5 μmol/L)group.The viability and apoptosis rate of the cells in each group were detected by cell counting kit-8 and flow cytometry.The expression of type Ⅱ collagen and SOX9 was detected by immunofluorescence staining.The expression of apoptosis-related proteins and Wnt/β-catenin pathway proteins was detected by western blot assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The cells extracted in vitro were cultured and stained,and were clearly identified as chondrocytes.Complanatoside A had no obvious cytotoxicity to chondrocytes in the concentration range of 0-80 μmol/L,and significantly improved the chondrocyte viability in the concentration range of 2.5-10 μmol/L,especially when the concentration was 5 μmol/L.The apoptotic rate of chondrocytes was higher in the sodium nitroprusside-induced group than the blank control group,while the apoptotic rate was lower in the sodium nitroprusside+Complanatoside A group than the sodium nitroprusside-induced group.The fluorescence intensity of type Ⅱ collagen and SOX9 in chondrocytes was weaker in the sodium nitroprusside-induced group than the blank control group,while the fluorescence intensity of type Ⅱ collagen and SOX9 in the sodium nitroprusside+Complanatoside A group was higher than that of the sodium nitroprusside-induced group.In the sodium nitroprusside-induced group,the protein expression of Bax,Caspase-3,matrix metalloproteinase 13,Wnt3a,Wnt5a and β-catenin was higher than that of the blank control group,while the protein expression of Bcl-2 was lower than that of the blank control group.In the sodium nitroprusside+Complanatoside A group,except for the protein expression of Bcl-2 which was higher than that of the sodium nitroprusside-induced group,the expression of the other aforementioned proteins was lower than that of the sodium nitroprusside-induced group.To conclude,Complanatoside A has a certain inhibitory effect on chondrocyte apoptosis,which could regulate apoptosis-related proteins and promote the expression of chondrocyte regulatory factors,and presumably might play a role through inhibiting the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

It has been found that the incidence of cardiovascular disease in patients with lower limb amputation is significantly higher than that in normal people, and the risk of developing coronary atherosclerosis is much higher than that in other high-risk groups. Numerous studies have confirmed that high systolic and diastolic blood pressures are potential risk factors for coronary artery disease, and it has been demonstrated that the ascending aortic pressure during diastole increases after amputation. However, the relationship between lower limb amputation and coronary atherosclerosis has not been fully explained from the perspective of hemodynamic environment. Therefore, in this study, a centralized parameter model of the human cardiovascular system and a three-dimensional model of the left coronary artery were established to investigate the effect of amputation on the hemodynamic environment of the coronary artery. The results showed that the abnormal hemodynamic environment induced by amputation, characterized by factors such as increased diastolic pressure in the ascending aorta, led to a significant expansion of the low wall shear stress (WSS) region on the outer lateral aspect of the left coronary artery bifurcation during diastole. The maximum observed increase in the area of low WSS reached up to 50.5%. This abnormal hemodynamic environment elevates the risk of plaque formation in the left coronary artery. Moreover, the more severe the lower limb atrophy, the greater the risk of coronary atherosclerosis in amputees. This study preliminarily reveals the effect of lower limb amputation on the hemodynamic environment of the left coronary artery.

OBJECTIVE:External fixators and plate internal fixation are commonly used treatments for comminuted distal radius fractures,each with its own advantages and disadvantages in clinical practice. To systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of external fixator and plate internal fixation in the treatment of comminuted distal radius fractures,and to provide a basis for the development of guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of distal radius fractures with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine. METHODS:PubMed,Web of Science,Embase,Cochrane Library,China National Knowledge Infrastructure,China Biomedical Literature Database,VIP,andWanFang databases were systematically searched to include randomized controlled trials on external fixators and internal plate fixation for the treatment of comminuted distal radial fractures published from October 2013 to October 2023. The literature was screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Review Manager was used for literature quality evaluation and meta-analysis.RESULTS:(1) Eight articles were included,including 4 in Chinese and 4 in English,with a total sample size of 648 cases,including 328 cases in the external fixation stent group and 320 cases in the internal fixation plate group. (2) At 3 months after operation,the internal fixation plate group was superior to the external fixation stent group in the range of dorsal extension,palmar flexion and supination. At 12 months after operation,the grip strength,palmar inclination,palmar flexion,pronation and supination in the internal fixation plate group were better than those in the external fixation stent group. The postoperative infection in the internal fixation plate group was better than that in the external fixation stent group,and there was no statistical difference in other outcome indicators.CONCLUSION:Eight evidences showed that in the choice of treatment for comminuted distal radius fracture,both external fixation stent and incision plate internal fixation had good therapeutic effect,and plate internal fixation was better than other factors. However,for some special patients with highly severe comminuted distal radius fractures,poor bone quality,severely contaminated open fractures,and soft tissue swelling that did not allow incision surgery,external fixation was the first choice. The results of this study have limitations,and more high-quality,large-sample,multi-center randomized controlled trials are needed in the future,emphasizing the observation of long-term efficacy and other secondary indicators,and supplementing and optimizing the current research results.

Nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF), predominantly affecting the elderly, can lead to intractable pain, vertebral collapse, progressive kyphotic deformity, and neurological impairment, significantly compromising patients′ quality of life. There exists considerable debate on diagnosis and management of OVF, encompassing key issues such as clinical diagnosis and staging criteria for nonunion, surgical indications and procedure selection, and postoperative rehabilitation planning. Currently, there lacks standardized clinical guideline and expert consensus on the diagnosis and management of OVF nonunion in China. To address this gap, Minimally Invasive Surgery Group of Chinese Orthopedic Association, Osteoporosis Committee of Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, Prevention and Rehabilitation Committee for Osteoporosis of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine and Minimally Invasive Orthopedic Surgery Branch of China Association for Geriatric Care jointly organized domestic experts in spinal surgery, endocrinology, and rehabilitation to formulate the Clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment for nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral fractures ( version 2025), based on existing literature and clinical experience and adhering to principles of scientific rigor and practicality. The guideline provided 13 evidence-based recommendations encompassing diagnosis and treatment of OVF nonunion, aiming to standardize its clinical management.

Acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fracture (ASOTLF) can lead to chronic low back pain, kyphosis deformity, pulmonary dysfunction, loss of mobility, and even life-threatening complications. Vertebral augmentation is currently the mainstream treatment method for this condition. In 2019, the Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma and the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association collaboratively led the development of Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation for acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures. Six years later, with advances in clinical diagnosis and treatment techniques as well as accumulating evidence in related fields, the 2019 guideline requires updating. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, the Spinal Health Professional Committee of China Human Health Science and Technology Promotion Association, and the Minimally Invasive Orthopedics Professional Committee of Shaanxi Medical Doctor Association have organized experts in the field to develop the Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation of acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures ( version 2025) , based on the latest evidence-based medical researches. This guideline incorporates 3 recommendations retained from the 2019 version with updated strength of evidence, along with 12 new recommendations. It provides recommendations from six aspects of diagnosis, pain management, treatment option selection, prevention of postoperative complications, anti-osteoporosis therapy, and postoperative rehabilitation, aiming to provide a reference for standard treatment of vertebral augmentation for ASOTLF in hospitals at all levels.

Objective:To explore the related risk factors contributing to re-fracture after hip surgery in elderly patients.Methods:This retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 2 415 elderly individuals who underwent surgical treatment for hip fractures and were discharged from Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital between January 2016 and December 2021.Patients were grouped into re-fracture and non-re-fracture cohorts based on whether a second fracture occurred within three years after surgery.Demographics, clinical data, and postoperative functional rehabilitation outcomes of the two groups were collected, and univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were applied to identify the independent risk factors for re-fractures after surgery.Results:A total of 2, 000 patients who completed follow-up were included in the final analysis, aged 60~91 years, with a mean age of (75.4±8.2) years.Among them, 855 were male(42.75%), and the postoperative re-fracture incidence was 28.25% (565/2 000). Univariate analysis indicated that advanced age, fracture type at first onset, lower Harris scores, insufficient rehabilitation training, osteoporosis, diabetes, cerebrovascular disorders, visual impairment, and syncope were all significantly associated with re-fracture (all P<0.05), while gender differences were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Multivariate regression confirmed the following as independent risk factors: age ≥75 years, postoperative Harris score <80, non-standard rehabilitation training, combined osteoporosis, diabetes, cerebrovascular disease, visual impairment, and syncope ( OR、 RR>1). Conclusions:Elderly patients are prone to re-fracture after hip surgery, and its occurrence is closely related to advanced age, inadequate functional rehabilitation, osteoporosis, and multiple internal medical comorbidities.In clinical practice, attention should be paid to standardized postoperative rehabilitation, systematic anti-osteoporotic therapy, and active intervention of comorbidities to reduce the incidence of re-fracture and improve the long-term prognosis of patients.

ObjectiveTo analyze the distribution, drug resistance characteristics, and changing trends of Acinetobacter baumannii (AB) isolated from environmental surfaces and healthcare workers’ hands in a grade Ⅱ level A general hospital in Xuhui District of Shanghai from 2018 to 2023, and to provide reference for infection control in the hospital. MethodsEnvironmental samples were collected quarterly from critical surfaces and healthcare workers’ hands in the intensive care unit (ICU), geriatrics, and respiratory departments from 2018 to 2023. Clinical isolates were obtained from all patients with AB infections in ICU, geriatrics, respiratory department, rehabilitation department, infectious diseases department, emergency department, cardiology department, and orthopedics of the hospital from 2018 to 2023. Retrospective analyses were performed on AB detection rates, strain origins, resistance rates to commonly used antimicrobial agents, and resistance gene features, comparing the antimicrobial resistance between clinically isolated strains and environmentally isolated strains. ResultsFrom 2018 to 2023, a total of 1 416 samples were collected from the hospital and a total of 272 strains of AB were detected, with a positive detection rate of 19.21%. The detection rate gradually decreased year-on-year (χ²_trend=45.290, P<0.001). The majority of samples originated from patient-contacted items (34.56%, 94/272), followed by shared items (26.84%, 73/272) and healthcare worker-contacted items (15.07%, 41/272). From 2018 to 2023, the resistance rate of AB on environmental surfaces and healthcare workers’ hands to commonly tested antibiotics in the hospital ranged from 10% to 40%. The resistance rates to cefotaxime (42.52%) and piperacillin (38.58%) were relative high, while the resistance to polymyxin E (1.57%), polymyxin B (2.36%), and doxycycline (3.94%) maintained low. The annual fluctuations in resistance to cefotaxime, piperacillin, ceftriaxone, tobramycin, doxycycline, minocycline and cotrimoxazole were statistically significant (all P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the resistance of clinical and environmental isolates to ampicillin/sulbactam, cefepime, ceftazidime, subamphetamine, meropenem, piperacillin, aztreonam, gentamicin, tobramycin, minocycline, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, and cotrimoxazole in the hospital from 2018 to 2023 (all P<0.05). The resistance rate of clinical isolates was generally high, especially to β-lactam and quinolone drugs, which were mostly above 80% [such as cefepime (93.86%), cefotaxime (97.37%), imipenem (98.25%), and ciprofloxacin (99.12%)]. The resistance rate of environmental isolated strains to similar antibiotics was relatively lower, mostly concentrated at 10%‒30%. The whole-genome sequencing of 34 carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) strains isolated from the hospital environment in 2023 revealed that the main resistance mechanism was overexpression of efflux pumps (51.97%), followed by changes in target sites (32.46%). Among the 34 CRAB strains, carbapenem resistance genes OXA-23 and OXA-51 were detected in 6 strains (17.65%), while genes such as KPC, IMP, VIM, and SIM were not detected. ConclusionFrom 2018 to 2023, AB in the hospital environment exhibited high resistance rates to certain antimicrobial agents and carried multiple resistance genes, indicating a potential transmission risk. It is necessary to further strengthen bacterial resistance monitoring and hospital infection control, and use antibiotics reasonably.
