Objective To explore the effectiveness of the generative large language model MedGo in nursing decision-making for elderly patients with multimorbidity. Methods A quasi-randomized controlled trial study was conducted involving 6 junior nurses, 6 senior nurses and the MedGo model from January 1, 2025 to March 31, 2025 at the Emergency Internal Medicine Ward of Shanghai East Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University. Clinical data of 120 elderly patients with multimorbidity were analyzed to compare the performance of the three groups in four tasks (nursing diagnosis assessment, nursing intervention formulation, complication identification, and complication prevention) from three evaluation dimensions: decision-making time consumption, decision accuracy, and decision-making quality. Results In terms of decision-making time, the senior nurse group completed all four tasks faster than the junior nurse group (P<0.01), and the MedGo group completed all four tasks faster than the junior nurse group (P<0.001) and the senior nurse group (P<0.001). In terms of decision-making accuracy, senior nurse group scored higher than junior nurse group in all four tasks (P<0.001), while the MedGo group outperformed the senior nurse group only in complication identification (P<0.001). In terms of decision-making quality, the MedGo group scored higher than junior nurse group (P<0.001) and senior nurse group (P<0.001) in all four tasks. Conclusions The MedGo model demonstrates advantages of high efficiency, accuracy, and quality in nursing decision-making for elderly patients with multimorbidity; senior nurses outperform junior nurses in decision-making, providing diverse references for clinical nursing decision-making.

OBJECTIVE Establish a quantitative analysis method for salidroside (Sal) in mouse serum, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and lung tissue, and compare the distribution differences of Sal and its liposomes. METHODS Using high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC), Welch Xtimate C18 was used as the chromatographic column, with methanol-formic acid aqueous solution (formic acid volume fraction: 0.1% for serum and BALF detection, 0.2% for lung tissue detection) as the mobile phase, flow rate of 1.0 mL/min, detection wavelength of 275 nm, column temperature of 30 ℃, and injection volume of 10 μL. Serum, BALF, and lung tissue homogenate samples were precipitated with methanol for protein analysis. Twelve mice were randomly divided into Sal group and Sal liposome group, and the concentrations of Sal in serum, BALF, and lung tissue were detected after intragastric administration corresponding liquid medicine at a dose of 300 mg/kg (calculated as Sal) for 0.5 h. RESULTS The linear ranges of Sal in serum, BALF, and lung tissue were 1.56-200.00 μg/mL, 1.56-100.00 μg/mL, and 6.24-400.00 μg/g, respectively (all r=0.999 9), with intra-day RSD of 1.35%-3.87%, 1.10%-2.75%, and 1.90%-3.86%, respectively; the inter-day RSD of 3.38%-5.11%, 2.22%- 4.36%, and 2.41%-4.73%, respectively. The relative accuracies were 97.95%-101.61%, 98.29%-101.82%, and 97.41%- 106.94%, respectively. The stability RSDs were all less than 6%. Compared with the Sal group, the Sal liposome group significantly increased the concentration of Sal in BALF of mice (P<0.05), and significantly decreased the concentration of Sal in serum and lung tissue (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The HPLC method established in this study is suitable for quantitative analysis of Sal in mouse serum, BALF, and lung tissue. Sal liposomes have a tendency to distribute towards the alveolar cavity during early administration.

Objective To investigate the neuroprotective effects and mechanisms of abscisic acid(ABA)in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine(MPTP)-induced Parkinson's disease(PD)mouse models.Methods Eight-week-old C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into three groups,control group(Ctrl),MPTP group,and MPTP+ABA group,12 mice in each group.Except for the control group,mice in the other groups were intraperitoneally injected with MPTP 25 mg/kg daily for 8 consecutive days to establish a subacute PD model.The MPTP+ABA group received intraperitoneal injections of ABA 25 mg/kg daily for 11 consecutive days,starting 3 days prior to MPTP administration.Behavioral tests were performed 24 hours after the last administration.On day 3,the expression of tyrosine hydroxylase(TH)and glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP)in the substantia nigra pars compacta(SNc)and striatum(STR)was analyzed by Western blotting,and mRNA levels of inflammatory factors were measured by Real-time PCR.Immunofluorescent staining was used to detect the expression of TH,GFAP,and ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1(Iba1).Results Compared with the control group,MPTP-treated mice exhibited impaired motor function,a reduced number of TH-positive dopaminergic neurons in the SNc,down-regulated TH protein expression in both the SNc and striatum,up-regulated GFAP protein expression,increased numbers of GFAP-and Iba1-positive cells,and elevated levels of pro-inflammatory factors.In contrast,the MPTP+ABA group showed improved motor function,increased TH-positive neurons in the SNc,up-regulated TH protein expression,down-regulated GFAP protein expression,reduced numbers of GFAP-and Iba1-positive cells,and decreased pro-inflammatory factor levels compared to the MPTP group.Conclusion ABA ameliorates motor dysfunction in MPTP-induced PD model mice,reduces degeneration and death of dopaminergic neurons in the SNc,suppresses the proliferation and activation of astrocytes and microglia in the SNc and striatum,and alleviates neuroinflammation.These results suggest that ABA exerts neuroprotective effects in MPTP-induced PD model mice.

Objective:To analyze the changes in biochemical markers of bone turnover and bone mineral density (BMD) with age and interrelationships in elderly people.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted.Community-dwelling elderly people who underwent health examinations at the Health Management Center of the Third People's Hospital of Chengdu from March 2022 to December 2024 were randomly selected.They were divided into groups according to their age: 60-69 years old (174 cases), 70-79 years old (181 cases), ≥80 years old (184 cases).Bone alkaline phosphatase(BALP)and type I collagen carboxy-terminal peptide (CTX)measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and BMD of the lumbar spine and hip was measured by quantitative computed tomography.The changes in BALP, CTX, and BMD with age and the correlation between bone biochemical markers and BMD of each part were analyzed.Results:There were no significant differences in sex ratio, height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) among the subjects at different ages (all P>0.05); With increasing age, at the age of over 80 years, the BMD loss of lumbar spine femoral neck, Ward's triangle and hip was higher than those at 60 to 69 years and 70 to 79 years ( F=4.052, 5.563, 16.365, 4.710, all P<0.001); BALP and CTX had no statistically significant differences between subjects of different ages( F=0.290, 0.256, both P>0.05); the results of Pearson correlation analysis showed that overall BMD in lumbar spine, femoral neck, Ward's triangle, and hip were negatively correlated with age ( r=-0.150, -0.427, -0.569, -0.258, all P<0.05).The results of the Pearson correlation analysis showed that BALP was negatively associated with lumbar spine, femoral neck, Ward's triangle, and overall BMD of hip( r=-0.224, -0.169, -0.221, -0.157, all P<0.05); CTX was negatively associated only with the lumbar spine and the overall BMD of the hip ( r=-0.150, -0.106, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The bone turnover status of elderly people can be reflected by BALP and CTX with age.The relationship between BALP and BMD is negatively correlated; CTX is negatively correlated with the overall BMD in lumbar spine and hip.Monitoring BALP and CTX is of great significance for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in the elderly people.
