The increasing prevalence of aging has led to a rising incidence of comorbidity of sarcopenia and obesity, posing significant burdens on socioeconomic and public health. Current research has systematically explored the pathogenesis of each condition; however, the mechanisms underlying their comorbidity remain unclear. This study reviews the current literature on sarcopenia and obesity in the aging population, focusing on their shared biological mechanisms, which include loss of autophagy, abnormal macrophage function, mitochondrial dysfunction, and reduced sex hormone secretion. It also identifies metabolic mechanisms such as insulin resistance, vitamin D metabolism abnormalities, dysregulation of iron metabolism, decreased levels of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, and gut microbiota imbalances. Additionally, this study also explores the important role of genetic factors, such as alleles and microRNAs, in the co-occurrence of sarcopenia and obesity. A better understanding of these mechanisms is vital for developing clinical interventions and preventive strategies.

Non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer worldwide, accounting for approximately 80%-85% of all lung cancer cases. Despite the clinical benefits of traditional treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, challenges such as the high rate of postoperative recurrence and resistance of some patients to chemotherapy and targeted therapies limit their effectiveness, necessitating the exploration of more effective treatment options. In recent years, immunotherapy, especially immune checkpoint inhibitors(ICIs), has revolutionized NSCLC treatment and significantly improved the survival prognosis of some patients. However, the efficacy of immunotherapy is limited by tumor immune escape, drug resistance, and immune-related adverse events(irAEs), which have not been effectively addressed. Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM), as a traditional therapeutic approach, has shown unique advantages in NSCLC treatment, with studies indicating its ability to enhance immune responses, regulate immune checkpoints, and improve the tumor microenvironment(TME), thus boosting the efficacy of immunotherapy. Additionally, the multi-target and multi-pathway effects of TCM help mitigate the side effects of immunotherapy, further improving efficacy and safety. This review summarizes the latest research progress of TCM in NSCLC immunotherapy, focusing on the research results of TCM in enhancing the effect of immunotherapy by regulating immune cells, optimizing the immune microenvironment, and being applied with ICIs, etc. The latest research progress of TCM in alleviating irAEs is also elucidated. The aim is to provide theoretical support for the clinical application of TCM in the prevention and treatment of NSCLC and the research and development of new drugs and promote the optimization and development of combined immunotherapy and TCM treatment models.

OBJECTIVE: To review the research progress of pathological changes of glenohumeral capsule in patients with recurrent shoulder anterior dislocation (RSAD). METHODS: The literature on shoulder capsules, both domestic and international, was reviewed. The anatomy, histology, and molecular biology characteristics of the glenohumeral capsule in RSAD patients were summarized. RESULTS: Anatomically, the glenohumeral capsule is composed of four distinct parts: the upper, lower, anterior, and posterior sections. The thickness of these sections is uneven, and the stability of the capsule is further enhanced by the presence of the glenohumeral and coracohumeral ligaments. Histologically, the capsule tissue undergoes adaptive changes following RSAD, which improve its ability to withstand stretching and deformation. In the realm of molecular biology, genes associated with the regulation of structure formation, function, and extracellular matrix homeostasis of the shoulder capsule's collagen fibers exhibit varying degrees of expression changes. Specifically, the up-regulation of transforming growth factor β ₁ (TGF-β ₁), TGF-β receptor 1, lysyl oxidase, and procollagen-lysine, 2-oxoglutarate 5-dioxygenase 1 facilitates the repair of the joint capsule, thereby contributing to the maintenance of shoulder joint stability. Conversely, the up-regulation of collagen type Ⅰ alpha 1 (COL1A1), COL3A1, and COL5A1 is linked to the recurrence of shoulder anterior dislocation, as these changes reflect the joint capsule's response to dislocation. Additionally, the expressions of tenascin C and fibronectin 1 may play a role in the pathological processes occurring during the early stages of RSAD. CONCLUSION Glenohumeral capsular laxity is both a consequence of RSAD and a significant factor contributing to its recurrence. While numerous studies have documented alterations in the shoulder capsule following RSAD, further research is necessary to confirm the specific pathological anatomy, histological, and molecular biological changes involved.

BACKGROUND: Blood glucose and serum albumin have been associated with cardiovascular disease prognosis, but the impact of admission-blood-glucose-to-albumin ratio (AAR) on adverse outcomes in critical ill coronary artery disease (CAD) patients was not investigated. METHODS: Patients diagnosed with CAD were non-consecutively selected from the MIMIC-IV database and categorized into quartiles based on their AAR. The primary outcome was 1-year mortality, and secondary endpoints were in-hospital mortality, acute kidney injury (AKI), and renal replacement therapy (RRT). A restricted cubic splines model and Cox proportional hazard models assessed the association between AAR and adverse outcomes in CAD patients. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis determined differences in endpoints across subgroups. RESULTS: A total of 8360 patients were included. There were 726 patients (8.7%) died in the hospital and 1944 patients (23%) died at 1 year. The incidence of AKI and RRT was 63% and 4.3%, respectively. High AAR was markedly associated with in-hospital mortality (HR = 1.587, P = 0.003), 1-year mortality (HR = 1.502, P < 0.001), AKI incidence (HR = 1.579, P < 0.001), and RRT (HR = 1.640, P < 0.016) in CAD patients in the completely adjusted Cox proportional hazard model. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis noted substantial differences in all endpoints based on AAR quartiles. Stratified analysis and interaction test demonstrated stable correlations between AAR and outcomes. CONCLUSIONS The results highlight that AAR may be a potential indicator for assessing in-hospital mortality, 1-year mortality, and adverse renal prognosis in critical CAD patients.

Objective: To evaluate the suitability of the existing hemolysis rate standards for locally processed red blood cell components by retrospectively analyzing 5-year hemolysis rate data at the end of storage. Methods: A total of 720 blood samples of three types of red blood cell components from our blood station from January 2019 to December 2023 were collected. Parameters included hemoglobin concentration (Hb), hematocrit (Hct), and free hemoglobin concentration (fHb). Hemolysis rate were taken as the control standard of 0.8% in accordance with the national standard. The hemolysis rates were compared against the national standard threshold of 0.8% (GB18469-2012), and annual trends of the detection parameters were observed. Results: The hemolysis rates (x-+s,%) of leukocyte-depleted whole blood at the end of storage were (0.038±0.023 8) in 2019, (0.049±0.039 5) in 2020, (0.043±0.040 7) in 2021, (0.049±0.030 7) in 2022, and (0.058±0.054 8) in 2023, respectively; The hemolysis rates (x-+s" />,%) of leukocyte-depleted suspended red blood cells at the end of storage were (0.093±0.050 2) in 2019, (0.086±0.049 5) in 2020, (0.123±0.072 3) in 2021, (0.122±0.052 1) in 2022, and (0.106±0.058 6) in 2023, respectively; The hemolysis rates (x-+s,%) of washed red blood cells at the end of storage were (0.127±0.038 2) in 2019, (0.150±0.066 5) in 2020, (0.121±0.052 2) in 2021, (0.124±0.038 9) in 2022, and (0.128±0.044 3) in 2023, respectively. Conclusion: Hemolysis rates at the end of blood storage of three red blood cell components were significantly lower than the limits specified in Quality Requirements for Whole Blood and Components (GB18469-2012), as well as standards from the EU, AABB and the United States. The results demonstrate excellent product quality control. A regional internal control standard of <0.2% is proposed for hemolysis rates at the end of storage.

ObjectiveTo investigate and analyze an outbreak of rotavirus infectious diarrhea in a prison in Chongqing Municipality, to provide a basis for adult rotavirus surveillance and prevention, and to explore the public health problems in special settings. MethodsA retrospective survey was conducted to collect and analyze data on individual cases with diarrheal disease on-site. The clinical characteristics, as well as the temporal, spatial and geographical distribution patterns of the epidemic were described. Multi-pathogen detection tests were conducted both on diarrhea cases and environmental samples, with viral genotyping performed on positive samples. A case-control analysis was performed to identify the causes of the outbreak, and an SEIR model was adopted to predict the outbreak trend and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions. ResultsA total of 65 cases were found among the inmates, with an attack rate of 2.03%. The predominant clinical manifestations included diarrhea (89.23%), watery stool (73.85%), and dehydration (18.46%). The epidemic curve indicated a “human-to-human” transmission pattern, with an average incubation period of 5‒6 days. The attack rates among chefs in the main canteen (80.00%, 8/10) and caterers (28.33%, 17/60) were significantly higher than those of other inmates （P<0.05）. Multi-pathogen polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing detected positive for group A rotavirus, with the viral genotyping identified as G9P [8] strain. Factors such as unprotected "bare-handed" food distribution among cases with diarrhea (OR=9.512, 95%CI: 4.261‒21.234) and close contact with diarrhea cases (OR=3.656, 95%CI: 1.719‒7.778) were the possible cause of the outbreak. The SEIR model (r₀=5, α=0.3, β₁=0.08, β₂=0.04) was constructed using prison inmates as susceptible population, aiming at fitting the initial transmission trend of the outbreak, and the epidemic rate declined rapidly after intervention measures were implemented (r_t≈0). ConclusionThis rare rotavirus infection diarrhea outbreak among adults in confined settings suggests that the construction of public health prevention and control systems in prison may be overlooked. Cross infection during meal processing and distribution in the canteens of such settings is likely to be the cause of the outbreak. Given the potential neglect of public heath system construction in special settings, it is imperative to enhance the surveillance and monitoring of rotavirus and other intestinal multi-pathogens among adults, as well as the construction of public health prevention and control systems in these special settings.

Implementation Science is an interdisciplinary field dedicated to systematically studying how to effectively translate evidence-based research findings into practical application and implementation. In the health-related context, it focuses on enhancing the efficiency and quality of healthcare services, thereby facilitating the transition from scientific evidence to real-world practice.

Furthermore, it reviews and prospects current research from three aspects: the constituent elements of TMF, their practical applications, and future directions. Five representative frameworks are emphasized, including the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), the Practical Robust Implementation and Sustainability Model (PRISM), the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, Sustainment (EPIS)framework, the Behavior Change Wheel (BCW), and the Normalization Process Theory (NPT). Additionally, resources such as the Dissemination & Implementation Models Webtool and the T-CaST tool are introduced to assist researchers in selecting appropriate TMFs based on project-specific needs.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the improvement mechanism of hyperoside （HYP） on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease （NAFLD）. METHODS Male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into normal （NFD） group， model （HFD） group and HYP group， with 8 mice in each group. Except for NFD group， the mice in other groups were fed with HF60 high-fat diet to establish NAFLD model； HYP group was simultaneously given HYP 100 mg/kg intragastrically every day， for 16 consecutive weeks. The body weight and liver weight of mice in each group were recorded 16 h after the last medication； the histopathological changes and lipid accumulation in the liver were observed， and the contents of triglyceride （TAG） in liver tissue and serum contents of TAG， aspartate transaminase （AST） and alanine transaminase （ALT） were measured； LC-MS/MS method was adopted to detect lipid changes in the liver tissue of mice for lipidomics analysis， and protein expressions of lipid synthesis-associated proteins peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α （PPARα） were also tested. Human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2 was divided into normal control group， model group， HYP low-concentration group （50 μmol/L）， HYP high-concentration group （100 μmol/L）， HYP low-concentration+GW6471 （PPARαinhibitor） group， and HYP high-concentration+GW6471 group. Except for normal control group， the remaining cells were induced with oleic acid and palmitic acid to establish a high-fat cell model. The accumulation of lipid droplets in each group of cells was observed， and the TAG content was detected. RESULTS Compared with HFD group， HYP group exhibited significant reductions in liver fat vacuoles， lipid accumulation， liver weight， and TAG content in liver tissue， as well as serum contents of ALT， AST and TAG （P＜0.05）. Additionally， the expression of PPARα protein in liver tissue was significantly increased （P＜0.05）， and the pathological morphological changes associated with NAFLD were alleviated. Lipidomic analysis revealed that HYP significantly reduced the levels of TAG， diacylglycerol and other lipids in the liver. Compared with model group， cellular lipid droplet accumulation and TAG content decreased significantly in HYP low- and high-concentration groups （P＜0.05）； GW6471 could significantly reverse the improvement effect of HYP on above indicators （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS HYP can effectively ameliorate NAFLD induced by a high-fat diet in mice， and the mechanism may be related to the activation of PPARα to regulate hepatic lipid synthesis.

Objective : To investigate the prevalence of negative emotions in hospitalized youth patients with type 2 diabetes(T2DM) and its correlation with coping strategies and psychological resilience. Methods : 141 youth T2DM patients who met the research standards were selected. Blood glucose related indicators, blood pressure, body mass index(BMI), diabetes chronic complications screening results and other data were collected. The basic information and disease related information questionnaire, self-rating depression scale(SDS), self-rating anxiety scale(SAS), diabetes distress scale(DDS), medical coping modes questionnaire(MCMQ) and Connor-Davidson resilience scale(CD-RISC) were completed. Results: Among 141 hospitalized youth T2DM patients, 37.6% were combined with depression, 32.6% were combined with anxiety, and 35.5% were combined with diabetic distress(DD). Univariate analysis showed that systolic blood pressure(P<0.01), educational level, and the form of hospitalization expenses(P<0.05) were significantly correlated with depression. Marital status(P<0.01), family residence, blood glucose monitoring methods, and the last fasting blood glucose(P<0.05) were significantly correlated with anxiety. BMI, whether it was first diagnosed or treated(P<0.01), gender, occupation, disease course, weekly blood glucose monitoring frequency, and the presence of chronic complications(P<0.05) were significantly correlated with DD. In multivariate analysis, systolic blood pressure(P<0.01), educational level, and the form of hospitalization expenses were significantly correlated with depression, marital status(P<0.05) was significantly correlated with anxiety; BMI and weekly blood glucose monitoring frequency(P<0.01) were significantly correlated with DD. SDS, SAS, total scores and dimensions of DDS were negatively correlated with the total score and dimensions of CD-RISC(rs=-0.182--0.467, P<0.05 or 0.01), and positively correlated with the yielding coping strategies(rs=0.177-0.271,P<0.05 or 0.01). SAS,total scores and dimensions of DDS were positively correlated with avoiding coping strategies(rs=0.237-0.419,P<0.05 or 0.01). The total and dimensions of CD-RISC were positively correlated with facing coping strategies(rs=0.215-0.349,P<0.05 or 0.01),and negatively correlated with yielding coping strategies(rs=-0.234--0.325,P<0.01). Conclusion More than 30% of hospitalized youth T2DM may experience negative emotions such as depression,anxiety,and DD. The occurrence of negative emotions in such patients may be related to disease management or socio-economic issues such as systolic blood pressure,educational level,hospitalization expenses,marital status,BMI,and frequency of blood glucose monitoring,as well as decreased psychological resilience and negative coping strategies.

Objective To detect the content of 5'-tRF-GlyGCC in peripheral blood and explore its applica-tion value in the early diagnosis of colorectal cancer(CRC).Methods Peripheral blood samples were randomly collected from 99 CRC patients,11 patients with enteritis,17 patients with colorectal polyps and 99 healthy indi-viduals in the same period at the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University.The content of 5'-tRF-GlyGCC in total RNA of peripheral blood was detected by fluorescence RT-PCR.The receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)was established to analyze the value of 5'-tRF-GlyGCC content in the early diagnosis of CRC and to explore the relationship between its content and the clinical and pathological characteristics of CRC patients.Results The content of 5'-tRF-GlyGCC in the peripheral blood of CRC patients and colorectal polyp patients was significantly higher than that of healthy individuals and patients with enteritis,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of 5'-tRF-GlyGCC for diagnosing CRC was 0.817(95%CI:0.763～0.871),with a diagnostic sensitivity of 56.7%and a specificity of 99.9%.The content of 5'-tRF-GlyGCC in peripheral blood was significantly positively correlated with the levels of CEA and CA19-9 in CRC patients.Conclusion The detection of 5'-tRF-GlyGCC in peripheral blood has a high application value in the early diagnosis of CRC and can be used for clinical reference and research.
