Objective To explore the impact of antimicrobial volume-based procurement(VBP)and classification management policy on the clinical use of carbapenem antibiotics.Methods Changing trend in defined daily doses(DDDs),procurement cost(Cost),defined daily dose cost(DDDc),and DDDs per 1 000 inhabitants daily(DID)of carbapenem antibiotics in all levels of medical institutions were analyzed by Mann-Kendall trend test.May 1,2020 was taken as the intervention cut-off point of VBP policy,September 2021 was as intervention cut-off point of cla-ssification management list.The impact of VBP and classification management policy on the clinical use of carbape-nem antibiotics were studied by interrupted time series analysis.Results After implementing VBP policy,the DDDs and DID of carbapenem antibiotics increased obviously,but the long-term trend didn't change significantly.Compared with before the implementation of the policy,the cost and DDDc of carbapenem antibiotics decreased im-mediately,the long-term trend of DDDc changed significantly,but the long-term trend of cost didn't change signifi-cantly.The DDDs and Cost of carbapenem antibiotics decreased immediately after the update of classification ma-nagement list,but the long-term downward trend was not significant,and DDDc presented a long-term upward trend.Conclusion VBP policy reduces the DDDc and short-term cost of carbapenem antibiotics,but its long-term impact on DDDs,cost and DID is limited.Classification management has limited impact on the use of carbapenem antibiotics in medical institutions.

Aim To investigate the protective and reparative effect of empagliflozin on oxidized-low density lipo-protein(ox-LDL)-induced injury in human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVEC)and its mechanism of action.Methods Primary HUVEC were cultured in vitro.ox-LDL was used to induce HUVEC injury model,and the cell sur-vival rate was measured by CCK-8 assay.EDU method was used to detect cell proliferation.Western blot was used to detect the protein levels of Ki-67,Bcl-2,cleaved Caspase-3,Bax,endothelial nitric oxide synthase(eNOS),intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1),vascular cell adhesion molecule 1(VCAM-1)and epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)in HUVEC.RT-qPCR was used to detect the mRNA expression levels of interleukin-6(IL-6)and tumor necro-sis factor-α(TNF-α)in HUVEC.Using Swiss targets,GeneCards databases,gene ontology(GO)and Kyoto encyclope-dia of genes and genomes(KEGG),protein-protein interaction(PPI)network analysis,and ClickDocking(https://mcule.com/apps/1-click-docking/)to predict the target of empagliflozin.Results CCK-8 results showed that 0.025 μmol/L empagliflozin significantly alleviated ox-LDL-induced HUVEC injury(P＜0.01).EDU results showed that ox-LDL treatment for 24 h significantly inhibited the proliferation of HUVEC(P＜0.01),while empagliflozin treatment sig-nificantly alleviated the inhibition of cell proliferation(P＜0.01).The results of Western blot showed ox-LDL treatment significantly decreased the protein expression levels of Ki-67,Bcl-2,and eNOS,and increased the protein expression levels ofcleaved Caspase-3,Bax,ICAM-1,and VCAM-1 in HUVEC(all P＜0.05).However,empagliflozin treatment reversed these changes(all P＜0.05).RT-qPCR results showed that ox-LDL treatment increased the mRNA expression levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in HUVEC(P＜0.01),while empagliflozin treatment decreased their expression levels(P＜0.05).However,after adding EGFR agonist NSC 228155,the protective effect of empagliflozin against ox-LDL-mediated HUVEC injury was significantly reversed(P＜0.05).Conclusion Empagliflozin can significantly reduce ox-LDL-in-duced HUVEC injury,which may be related to EGFR signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the effects of inclined axial compressive force and flexion moment on the anterior and posterior shear stiffness of the lumbosacral segment.Methods Six fresh-frozen human cadaveric L5-S1 segments were tested under intact and two progressively impaired structural conditions:intact,a 4-mm bilateral facet joint gap,and anterior discectomy with nucleus pulposus removal plus circumferential release of the inner annular fibers(disc injury).A 300 N axial compressive force was applied either vertically downward or with a 10° or 20° anterior inclination through the disc's shear center.Anterior(0 N to 250 N)and posterior(-50 N to 0 N)shear tests were conducted using a material testing machine.These tests were repeated under a 5 N-m flexion moment.The relative motion between L5 and Si was measured using a three-dimensional motion capture system.Results In the intact state,the inclination of the axial compressive force did not significantly alter anterior or posterior shear stiffness.However,the application of a flexion moment increased anterior shear stiffness by 49.3％.Progressive structural damage resulted in incremental increases in anteroposterior shear translation and corresponding reductions in stiffness.Notably,under combined loading with axial compression and flexion moment,anterior stiffness decreased from 939 N/mm(intact)to 224 N/mm(disc injury),while posterior stiffness decreased from 572 N/mm to 217 N/mm.Within the low-load range,no significant differences in shear stiffness were observed across any structural conditions,regardless of axial force inclination or combined with a flexion moment.Conclusions This study supports the clinical view that retro-inclination of the pelvis serves as a compensatory mechanism to enhance segmental shear stability.However,this compensatory capacity gradually diminishes and ultimately fails as spinal degeneration progresses.

Objective:To evaluate the safety, feasibility, and technical advantages of the domestic Jingfeng single-port robotic surgical system in transoral and transaxillary approach surgeries for multisite diseases. Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 6 patients who underwent Jingfeng SP1000 single-port robotic-assisted surgery at our hospital from June 2025 to July 2025. They were divided into the transoral robotic surgery group（4cases） and the transaxillary approach thyroid cancer radical resection group（2cases） based on surgical approaches. The transoral robotic surgery group included extended resection of right tonsillar cancer with cervical lymph node dissection, epiglottic cyst resection, extended resection of right pyriform sinus cancer with cervical lymph node dissection, and surgery for epiglottic cyst and obstructive sleep apnea（OSA）. For each case, parameters including operative time, intraoperative blood loss, perioperative complications, robotic operation performance, and postoperative recovery were recorded. Results:All 6 surgeries were successfully completed without conversion to open surgery or system failure. In the transoral robotic surgery group, the mean robotic operation time was（60.00±34.88） minutes, and the mean intraoperative blood loss was 20.00（5.75，20.00）mL. In the transaxillary robotic surgery group, the robotic operation time was respectively 60.00 and 40.00 minutes, and the intraoperative blood loss was 10.00 and 5.00 mL, respectively. One case of minor perioperative complication（in the flap dissection area） occurred, with no severe complications reported. All patients recovered smoothly after surgery, with a median follow-up of 1.9 months showing no residual lesions, recurrence, or functional impairment. Conclusion:This case series confirms the safety and feasibility of the domestic Jingfeng single-port robot in transoral and axillary approach surgeries in oropharyngeal-head and neck surgery. Its single-port design reduces trauma and the risk of robotic arm collision, adapts to minimally invasive needs, and its domestic production attribute lowers costs to facilitate popularization, providing a new option for such patients.

Objective: To explore the cross sectional and longitudinal associations between 24 hour movement behaviors and physical fitness in preschool children, and to adopt the method of equal time substitution analysis to evaluate the impact of time redistribution of different activity behaviors on physical fitness scores,so as to provide a scientific basis for promoting the health of preschool children. Methods: A total of 193 preschool children aged 3-6 years were selected from three Shanghai districts (Jing an, Baoshan, Jiading) from October to December 2023 by the stratified cluster random sampling method. The 24 hour movement behaviors were monitored via 7 day accelerometry, and physical fitness was measured according to the National Physical Fitness Measurement Standards (Revised 2023, preschool section). From October to December 2024, the follow up of physical fitness among preschool children used the same testing method. The comparison between groups was conducted by t-test. Compositional regression analyses evaluated the relationship of 24 hour movement behaviors and physical fitness among preschool children. Results: At baseline, moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) time was significantly higher in boys [(84.10±25.78)min/d] than in girls [( 70.44± 25.98)min/d]; the composite physical fitness score was significantly higher in boys (71.65±8.69) than in girls (68.84±9.89), and the differences were statistically significant ( t =3.65, 2.10, both P <0.01). After adjusting for gender, age and body mass index, the results of component multiple linear regression analysis showed that MVPA time proportion was positively correlated with the composite physical fitness score at baseline among preschool children ( β =6.61), but was negatively correlated with two legged continuous hopping time at 1 year ( β =-1.12) (both P <0.05). Light physical activity (LPA) time proportion was negatively correlated with walking on the balance beam time at 1 year ( β =-4.44), and sedentary behavior (SB) time proportion was negatively correlated with the composite score of physical fitness at baseline ( β =-6.55) (both P <0.05). Isotemporal substitution analysis revealed that replacing 10 minutes of sleep (SP), SB, and LPA with MVPA increased the baseline physical fitness composite score by 0.750, 0.689 and 0.575 units, respectively; at 1 year follow up, the composite score increased by 1.440, 1.419 and 1.430 units, respectively (all P <0.05). Conversely, replacing MVPA with 10 minutes of SP, SB, and LPA,resulted in decreases in baseline physical fitness composite scores of 0.836, 0.777 and 0.669 units, and reductions of 1.613, 1.592 and 1.598 units at 1 year follow up (all P < 0.05 ). Conclusions Preschool children s 24 hour movement behaviors, especially MVPA, are closely related to physical health. Implementing appropriate strategies to increase physical activity and reduce sedentary time may improve the physical fitness of preschoolers.

Alzheimer's disease(AD), the most prevalent form of dementia among the elderly, is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by an insidious onset.Although the precise pathogenesis of AD has not been fully elucidated, recent studies have identified autophagy defects as a pivotal factor in the progression of the disease.These autophagy defects lead to the deposition of Aβ protein, aggregation of tau protein, neuronal loss, synaptic damage, neuroinflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction, all of which may contribute to the development of AD and influence its occurrence and progression.This review aims to examine the mechanisms underlying defective autophagy, highlight its impact on the pathological changes associated with AD, and discuss potential therapeutic strategies to address autophagy deficiencies, thereby providing new insights for the prevention and treatment of AD.

Demyelination and remyelination play key roles in spinal cord injury (SCI), affecting the recovery of motor and sensory functions. Research in rodent models is extensive, but the study of these processes in non-human primates is limited. Therefore, our goal was to thoroughly study the histological features of demyelination and remyelination after contusion injury of the cervical spinal cord in Macaca fascicularis. In a previous study, we created an SCI model in M. fascicularis by controlling the contusion displacement. We used Eriochrome Cyanine staining, immunohistochemical analysis, and toluidine blue staining to evaluate demyelination and remyelination. The results showed demyelination ipsilateral to the injury epicenter both rostrally and caudally, the former mainly impacting sensory pathways, while the latter primarily affected motor pathways. Toluidine blue staining showed myelin loss and axonal distension at the injury site. Schwann cell-derived myelin sheaths were only found at the center, while thinner myelin sheaths from oligodendrocytes were seen at the center and surrounding areas. Our study showed that long-lasting demyelination occurs in the spinal cord of M. fascicularis after SCI, with oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells playing a significant role in myelin sheath formation at the injury site.

Peri-implant keratinized mucosa (PIKM) augmentation refers to surgical procedures aimed at increasing the width of PIKM. Consensus reports emphasize the necessity of maintaining a minimum width of PIKM to ensure long-term peri-implant health. Currently, several surgical techniques have been validated for their effectiveness in increasing PIKM. However, the selection and application of PIKM augmentation methods may present challenges for dental practitioners due to heterogeneity in surgical techniques, variations in clinical scenarios, and anatomical differences. Therefore, clear guidelines and considerations for PIKM augmentation are needed. This expert consensus focuses on the commonly employed surgical techniques for PIKM augmentation and the factors influencing their selection at second-stage surgery. It aims to establish a standardized framework for assessing, planning, and executing PIKM augmentation procedures, with the goal of offering evidence-based guidance to enhance the predictability and success of PIKM augmentation.
