Objective To discuss the effects of the"twelve needles for hands and feet"acupuncture on the brain response mechanism and acupoint specificity in hemiplegic patients after ischemic stroke using fMRI.Methods Totally 43 inpatients from Dongzhimen Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine from December 2018 to March 2023 were included.The included patients were randomly divided into a true acupoint group of 23 cases and a fake acupoint group of 20 cases using the random number table method for clinical scale evaluation and magnetic resonance scanning.The true acupoint group received"twelve needles for hands and feet"acupuncture;the fake acupoint group was treated with acupuncture by opening 1 inch next to the meridian point,once a day,for consecutive 10 d.Intervention completed,excluding subjects who fell out during the intervention process,had unsatisfactory MRI data quality and had incomplete clinical scales,and conducting data processing and analysis.Bilateral anterior central gyrus(PreCG),amygdala(AMYG),caudate nucleus(CAU),putamen lenticularis(PUT),pallidus lenticularis(PAL)and thalamus(THA)were selected as regions of interest(ROI),and the changes in Granger causality(GC)and differences in scale scores between the two groups before and after treatment were compared.Results After intervention in the true acupoint group,the GC of CAU.R → PreCG.R,AMYG.R → PAL.R was stronger than before intervention,and the GC of THA.L→PAL.L,AMYG.R→THA.R in the true acupoint group was weaker than before intervention(P<0.05);after intervention with fake acupoints,the GC of AMYG.R→PUT.L in the false acupoint group was stronger than before intervention,and the GC of THA.L→PreCG.R,AMYG.L→CAU.L was weaker than before intervention(P<0.05);the GC of THA.R→PAL.L before intervention was stronger than false acupoint group,the GC of CAU.L→PreCG.R,PUT.L→PreCG.R before intervention was weaker than fake acupoint group(P<0.05);the GC of CAU.R→PreCG.R,THA.L→PreCG.R,AMYG.R→CAU.L,THA.L→PAL.R,AMYG.L→THA.L after intervention in the true acupoint group was stronger than the false acupoint group,and the GC of AMYG.R→AMYG.L after intervention in the true acupoint group was weaker than the fake acupoint group(P<0.05).Conclusion"Twelve needles for hands and feet"acupuncture can stimulate preferential compensation of the right motor circuit,bilateral basal ganglia remodeling,and balance regulation of excitatory inhibitory effects on the thalamus in patients with radiation-induced coronary stroke,thereby improving the degree of motor dysfunction and neurological deficits;acupuncture at acupoints stimulates brain activity more than at non-acupoints,indicating acupoint specificity.

Atherosclerosis(As)poses a serious threat to human health,and modern medicine still faces many limi-tations in its treatment of this disease.However,components and compounds of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)have unique advantages in anti-atherosclerosis by regulating macrophage autophagy,they exert anti-inflammatory,anti-oxi-dation,lipid metabolism-regulating and plaque-stabilizing effects.This paper reviews the application of TCM in regulating macrophage autophagy to prevent and treat atherosclerosis,and provides new insights into the application of TCM compo-nents and compounds in the treatment of As.

Objective To develop a postoperative self-management question prompt list for adult liver transplant recipients and conduct preliminary application,aiming to provide an effective tool for facilitating their engagement in postoperative self-management.Methods From August to September 2024,the first draft of the postoperative self-management question prompt list for adult liver transplant recipients was developed through literature search and qualitative interviews,including 9 primary items and 50 secondary items.From October to November 2024,16 experts from Qingdao,Jinan,Beijing,and Fuzhou were interviewed on the Delphi method for 2 rounds to revise the question prompt list.From February to March 2025,19 patients after liver transplantation were selected for the preliminary application of the question prompt list.Results The response rates in the 2 rounds of consultations were both 100％and the authority coefficients of experts were both 0.88.The Kendall's W in the 2 rounds was 0.336 and 0.344(P＜0.001),respectively.The final question prompt list includes 9 primary items and 49 secondary items.The study showed that QPL demonstrated high clinical practicability in helping patients systematically understand the self-management framework after liver transplantation,promoting doctor-patient communication,and enhancing the initiative of self-management.Conclusion The question prompt list of postoperative self-management for adult liver transplant recipients established in this study is scientific,reliable,and practical,which is helpful for patients to obtain information about self-management from medical staff.

Prostate cancer is the most prevalent malignant tumor in the urinary and male reproductive systems, with its incidence on the rise. In China, most patients are first diagnosed at an advanced stage, missing the window for surgical intervention. Over the years, there has been a continuous evolution in the exploration of neoadjuvant therapy for prostate cancer. Currently, several neoadjuvant approaches have been established, such as neoadjuvant endocrine therapy based on androgen deprivation therapy, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and neoadjuvant combination therapy. These therapeutic regimens have been shown to enhance pathological responses, including pathological downstaging rate, thereby offering new hope for patients with high-risk localized and locally advanced prostate cancer. However, it remains to be seen whether these therapies can demonstrate a clear advantage in extending overall survival and metastasis-free survival. Further research is necessary to delve into the efficacy differences and safety concerns of these therapeutic approaches.

Objective:To construct a meridian tapping exercise program for frail elderly, so as to provide daily healthcare options for frail elderly people.Methods:Guided by the theory of meridians and collaterals, data mining was conducted on the database of ancient Chinese medical literature to select acupoints and meridians for tapping. Through literature research, the exercise prescription was improved. A preliminary exercise prescription was formulated through literature review and revised through two rounds of expert consultation in December 2023.Results:The effective response rate for both rounds of expert consultation questionnaires was 7/7. The expert authority coefficients were 0.83 and 0.87, respectively, and the overall Kendall′s coefficient of concordance was 0.301 and 0.302 (both P<0.05). The final meridian tapping exercise for frail elderly comprised 2 primary indicators, 8 secondary indicators, and 23 tertiary indicators. Conclusions:The meridian tapping exercise for the frail elderly is scientific, reliable and practical, which can provide a choice for the frail elderly to carry out targeted traditional Chinese medicine exercises.

Objective:To investigate the influencing factors of adult dental fluorosis in drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis areas of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.Methods:A case-control study was conducted in January 2024 to select adult fluorosis patients (case group) and healthy individuals (control group) from the drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis areas in Helinger County, Hohhot City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region as the survey subjects. Urine samples were collected to determine urinary fluoride concentration. A questionnaire survey was conducted. SPSS 25.0 software was used for χ 2 test and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) was used to analyze the association between urinary fluoride concentration and the risk of dental fluorosis in adults. Results:A total of 161 individuals were included in the survey, including 100 in the case group and 61 in the control group. The results of univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in the distribution of gender, smoking, and urinary fluoride concentration between the case group and the control group (χ 2 = 7.54, 5.02, 9.69, P < 0.05). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that gender ( OR = 0.36, 95% CI: 0.18 - 0.73, P = 0.005) and urinary fluoride concentration ( OR = 3.08, 95% CI: 1.46 - 6.67, P = 0.003) were the influencing factors of adult fluorosis. RCS analysis showed a significant linear dose-response relationship between the risk of dental fluorosis and urinary fluoride concentration ( Poverall trend = 0.001, Pnonlinear = 0.071). When the urinary fluoride concentration was greater than 1.57 mg/L, the risk of dental fluorosis increased with the increase of urinary fluoride concentration. Conclusion:Gender and urinary fluoride concentration are the risk factors of dental fluorosis in adults in drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis areas of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
