Objective:To understand the current situation and influencing factors of functional constipation among elderly people in nursing homes, and construct a risk prediction model.Methods:Conveniently select 542 elderly people from 8 nursing homes in Tangshan urban area from July to November 2023 as the research subjects, use binary logistic regression analysis to construct a risk prediction model, and conduct internal validation of the model.Results:Among the 542 elderly people who were included in the study, there were 250 males and 292 females with an average age of 78.00 (70.00, 86.00) years. The incidence of functional constipation among elderly people in nursing homes was 54.06%(293/542). The predictive model includes six predictive factors: age, Barthel index, water intake, daily vegetable intake, insomnia, and perianal disease. The model AUC was 0.885 (95% CI 0.858-0.913), the Youden index was 0.628, the best critical value was 0.585, sensitivity was 0.819, specificity was 0.809. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test χ2=6.38, P=0.605. The internal validation results of the Bootstrap method showed that the AUC of the model was 0.876, the calibration curve was close to the standard line, and the Brier score was 0.135. The DCA results showed that the threshold was 0.1-0.9, and the model had good clinical net benefits. Conclusions:The incidence of functional constipation in elderly care institutions is relatively high. The functional constipation risk prediction model constructed in this study has good predictive efficacy and applicability, which can provide reference for nursing home staff.

Objective To investigate the correlation between serum microRNA-210(miR-210),tumor necrosis factor-stimulated gene 6(TSG-6),and complement C1q tumor necrosis factor-related protein 3(CTRP3)and their association with myocardial fibrosis and prognosis in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy(DCM).Methods A total of 117 patients with DCM admitted to Taizhou People's Hospital between March and August 2024 were enrolled in the DCM group.Based on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging findings,these patients were further classified into a myocardial fibrosis group(n=96)and a non-fibrosis group(n=21).Additionally,according to the occurrence of acute heart failure during one-year follow-up,they were categorized into a heart failure group(n=47)and a non-heart failure group(n=70).Concurrently,58 age-and sex-matched healthy volunteers were recruited as the control group.Serum levels of miR-210,TSG-6,CTRP3,N-terminal propeptide of type Ⅲ procollagen(PⅢNP),left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP)were measured and compared across all groups.Results The DCM group exhibited significantly higher serum levels of miR-210,TSG-6,PⅢNP,and NT-proBNP,lower CTRP3 levels,and reduced LVEF compared to the healthy controls(P<0.05).Similarly,the fibrosis group showed elevated serum levels of miR-210,TSG-6,PⅢNP,and NT-proBNP,decreased CTRP3 levels,and impaired LVEF relative to the non-fibrosis group(P<0.05).The heart failure group also demonstrated higher serum concentrations of these biomarkers,along with lower CTRP3 and reduced LVEF,compared to the non-heart failure group(P<0.05).Serum miR-210 and TSG-6 levels were positively correlated with PⅢNP and NT-proBNP(P<0.05)and negatively correlated with LVEF(P<0.05).Multivariate analysis revealed that elevated serum miR-210(OR=2.065,95%CI:1.116～3.821)and TSG-6(OR=1.047,95%CI:1.013～1.083)were independent risk factors for heart failure in DCM patients(P<0.05),whereas higher CTRP3 levels(OR=0.911,95%CI:0.849～0.978)were associated with a protective effect(P<0.05).The sensitivity of serum miR-210,TSG-6,and CTRP3 in predicting heart failure in DCM patients was 72.34%,74.47%,and 74.47%,respectively,with specificities of 62.86%,62.86%,and 68.57%,yielding AUC values of 0.669,0.712,and 0.759,respectively.Conclusions Serum levels of miR-210 and TSG-6 are elevated,whereas CTRP3 levels are reduced in patients with DCM.These biomarkers are closely associated with myocardial fibrosis and cardiac function impairment.Moreover,miR-210,TSG-6,and CTRP3 exhibit significant predictive value for the prognosis of DCM.

Objective To explore the five-circuit and six-qi features of birth time and onset time of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL).Methods A total of 877 cases of children with ALL from Children's Hospital of Soochow University from June 2021 to February 2023 were collected,and their five-circuit and six-qi features of birth time and onset time were analyzed.And then the correlation of five-circuit and six-qi features of birth time and onset time with ALL was explored preliminarily,and the pathogenic characteristics of congenital factors and acquired pathogenic factors were revealed.Results(1)The children who were born in the year with the heavenly stems being bing(the 3rd of the ten heavenly stems)and ding(the 4th of the ten heavenly stems)and with the earthly branches being shen(the 8th of the twelve earthly branches)and you(the 9th of the twelve earthly branches)are prone to suffer from ALL,and the birth year of children with ALL had the five-circuit and six-qi features of the joining of guest circuit with dominant circuit being rebellious.ALL is commonly seen in the year with the heavenly stems being geng(the 7th of the ten heavenly stems)and xin(the 8th of the ten heavenly stems)and with the earthly branches being zi(the 1st of the twelve earthly branches)and chou(the 2nd of the twelve earthly branches),and the onset year of ALL in children had the five-circuit and six-qi features of the yearly circuit being gold-circuit and water-circuit,sitian-zaiquan yearly circuit qi being shaoyin monarch-fire with yangming dryness-gold,taiyin damp-earth with taiyang cold-water,and the qi-circuit assimilation relationship being celestial correspondence,same celestial correspondence,celestial correspondence in convergent year,disharmony,mildly-rebellious,and celestial restriction.Conclusion Gold-dryness and water-cold are the congenital factors and acquired pathogenic factors of ALL.The onset of ALL in children is closely related to qi insufficiency and qi stagnation of wood and fire in five-circuit and six-qi theory.

Objective:To study the effect of anthocyanins(C3G)on cuproptosis in chronic epileptic rats.Methods:Chronic epileptic rat model was induced by pentatetrazol(PTZ),and 90 SD rats were randomly divided into control group,PTZ group,elesclomol(ELC)group,tetrathiomolybdate(TTM)group,C3G group and ELC+C3G group.The grade,latency and frequency of seizures were recorded in each group.electroencephalogram(EEG)was used to detect abnormal electrical discharge in the brain.The action potential of hippocampal neurons was measured by patch-clamp technique.The contents of glutathione(GSH)and cuprous ions(Cu+)in hippocampus were determined by kit.Neuron damage in hippocampus was evaluated by Nissl staining.The expression of ferredoxin1(FDX1)and lipoic acid synthase(LIAS)in hippocampus was analyzed by immunohistochemistry and Western blot.Results:Compared with the control group,the rats in the PTZ group exhibited epileptic-like seizures,suggesting that the modeling was successful.Com-pared with other epileptic groups,the ELC group showed increased seizure grade,more abnormal discharges,shortened latency period,enhanced neuronal excitability,decreased Nissl particles,elevated Cu+levels,decreased GSH levels,and increased expressions of FDX1 and LIAS.The reverse was observed in C3G group(P＜0.05).Neuron damage in ELC+C3G group was less severe than that in ELC group,but more than that in PTZ group(P＜0.05).Neuron dam-age in TTM group was less severe than that in PTZ group,but more severe than that in C3G group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:cuproptosis exists in hippocampus of rats with chronic epilepsy,and the C3G can significantly inhibit cu-proptosis and alleviate the occurrence and development of chronic epilepsy.

Endovascular interventional angioplasty is an important treatment for symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis(sICAS).However,conventional endovascular interventions,such as bare-metal stenting and plain balloon angioplasty,are associated with a high risk of restenosis.Drug-coated balloon(DCB),due to the drug-carrying properties,may reduce the long-term restenosis risk and represent a novel option for the endovascular intervention of sICAS.Presently,DCB for sICAS has been a subject of increasing clinical studies,and its clinical application has progressed to small-scale use.Nevertheless,it's lack of an unified guidelines or consensus to standardize its procedural indications,technical details,and perioperative management.This expert consensus summarized the relevant clinical studies on DCB for sICAS and incorporated the practical experience of specialists from neurointerventional field,aiming to provide reasonable guidance for the current clinical use of DCB in treating sICAS.

Objective To analyze the research hotspots and frontier trends in the field of physical therapy for Parkinson's disease(PD)from 2014 to 2023.Methods Relevant literatures published from January,2014 to December,2023 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection.CiteSpace 6.3.R1 was used to conduct bibliometric analysis,generating visual maps of coun-tries,institutions,keyword co-occurrence,burst terms,timelines and clustering,and they were summarized based on both visual results and literature content.Results A total of 400 articles were included.The United States had the highest publication volume,followed by China,Italy and Brazil,and the international collaboration was relatively active.Major contributing institutions included Northwestern University,Rush University,Karolinska Institutet and Universidade de S?o Paulo.Keyword co-oc-currence analysis showed that researches mainly focused on interventions such as exercise,postural control,aero-bic exercise and transcranial direct current stimulation.Burst detection analysis showed that keywords with high attention in recent years included motor symptoms,executive function,resistance training and noninvasive brain stimulation.The timeline map indicated a shift in research themes from early focus on electrical stimulation to in-tegrated interventions involving both motor and cognitive functions.Conclusion Over the past decade,researches on physical therapy for PD has shown steady growth,with increasing diver-sity in intervention strategies.There is a clear trend toward multidimensional integration and interdisciplinary col-laboration.Future studies should strengthen interventions targeting non-motor symptoms and promote the clinical application of new rehabilitation technologies.

Aim Systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment(SELEX)techniquewas employed to screen and identify nucleic acid aptamers that specifically bind to mouse atherosclerotic pathological tissues,aiming to pro-vide a research foundation for the development of molecular targets and diagnostic reagents for early atherosclerosis.Methods A single-stranded DNA(ssDNA)library with a capacity of 1015～1016 was constructed,which was then subjec-ted to binding-elution(negative selection)with normal mouse vascular tissue slices.The eluted library was subsequently bound to atherosclerotic tissue slices for binding-elution(positive selection).PCR was used to amplify the positive and negative screening products,and agarose gel electrophoresis was used to verify the amplified products.The ssDNA library after multiple rounds of selection was sequenced using T-A cloning and sequencing to obtain the primary structure of the nu-cleic acid aptamers,and the secondary structure was predicted using the Mfold online software.The selected nucleic acid aptamers were labeled with a FAM fluorescent group at the 5'-end and were bound to both positive and negative selection tissue slices,with fluorescence intensity observed under a fluorescence microscope.Image Pro Plus 6.0 was used to cal-culate the relative average fluorescence intensity to evaluate the binding specificity of nucleic acid aptamers.Results After 8 rounds of selection,agarose gel electrophoresis imaging showed PCR amplification products in the positive selection lanes,while no PCR amplification products were observed in the negative selection lanes,indicating the successful acquisi-tion of a nucleic acid aptamer library that specifically binds to atherosclerotic tissues.Five nucleic acid aptamers were i-dentified by T-A cloning and sequencing,and their predicted secondary structures all had stem-loop structures.Immuno-fluorescence staining verified that five nucleic acid aptamers had different degrees of binding with As blood vessels,and the quantitative results of the relative average fluorescence intensity showed that nucleic acid aptamer No.11 had the highest relative average fluorescence intensity value,which can be used as a candidate nucleic acid aptamer for subsequent re-search.Conclusion Specific nucleic acid aptamers that bind to atherosclerotic vesselswere successfully obtained,providing a research foundation for further screening of early molecular targets of Asand developing in vivo early diagnostic reagents.
