ObjectiveTo investigate the molecular mechanism by which the Bushen Kaixuan Tongluo prescription exerts a renal protective effect in mice with diabetic kidney disease （DKD） by regulating the cyclic adenosine monophosphate （cAMP） signaling pathway. MethodsThirty specific pathogen-free （SPF） male db/db mice were adaptively fed for three weeks. Mice with a random tail vein blood glucose level ≥ 11.1 mmol·L^-1 and urinary albumin-creatinine ratio （ACR） ≥ 30 mg·g^-1 were considered successfully modeled. The successfully modeled mice were randomly divided into five groups with six mice in each group： the model group， the low-， medium-， and high-dose Bushen Kaixuan Tongluo prescription groups （administered at doses of 7， 14， 28 g·kg^-1·d^-1 respectively）， and the positive drug irbesartan group （administered at a dose of 20 mg·kg^-1·d^-1）. Additionally， six db/m mice were selected as the blank group. Mice in each group were given intragastric administration of the Bushen Kaixuan Tongluo prescription at the corresponding concentrations， irbesartan， or an equal volume of pure water， and the intervention lasted for 12 weeks. During the experiment， the general conditions， body weight changes， and renal function indicators of the mice were dynamically monitored. After the intervention， a blood glucose meter was used to measure the fasting blood glucose （FBG） of the mice. An automatic biochemical analyzer was employed to detect the levels of serum creatinine （SCr）， blood urea nitrogen （BUN）， urinary microalbumin （uALB）， ACR， aspartate aminotransferase （AST）， alanine aminotransferase （ALT）， total cholesterol （TC）， triglycerides （TG）， leptin （LEP）， glycosylated serum protein （GSP）， and insulin （INS） in the mice. Renal tissues were collected for hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining， periodic acid-Schiff （PAS） staining， and Masson's trichrome staining to observe the histopathological changes. Immunohistochemistry （IHC） was used to detect the expressions of protein kinase A （PKA） and cAMP response element-binding protein （CREB） in the mice. Western blot analysis was performed to determine the expression levels of PKA， phosphorylated protein kinase A （p-PKA）， CREB， phosphorylated cAMP response element-binding protein （p-CREB）， and B-cell lymphoma-2 （Bcl-2） proteins in the renal tissues of the mice. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to detect the mRNA expression levels of PKA， CREB， and Bcl-2 in the renal tissues of the mice. ResultsCompared with the blank group， the mice in the model group showed listlessness， decreased activity， and a significant increase in body weight （P<0.01）. Biochemical indicators revealed that the levels of BUN， uALB， ACR， AST， ALT， TC， TG， FBG， LEP， GSP， and INS were significantly increased （P<0.01）， while SCr showed an increasing trend with no statistically significant difference. Compared with the model group， the mice in the Bushen Kaixuan Tongluo prescription intervention groups had improved general conditions and a decreasing trend in body weight. Biochemical indicators showed that the levels of BUN， uALB， ACR， TC， GSP， and INS were significantly decreased （P<0.05）， while SCr， AST， ALT， TG， and LEP showed a decreasing trend with no statistically significant difference. Renal histopathological analysis showed that the model group exhibited typical DKD pathological features such as thickening of the glomerular basement membrane， expansion of the mesangial matrix， and deposition of collagen fibers in the renal tubulointerstitium， and all treatment groups could alleviate the above pathological damages. The IHC results showed that compared with the blank group， the expression levels of p-PKA and p-CREB in the renal tissues of the model group were significantly decreased （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the expression level of p-PKA in the medium-dose Bushen Kaixuan Tongluo prescription group was significantly increased （P<0.01）， while the expression level of p-CREB showed an increasing trend with no statistically significant difference. Western blot results showed that compared with the blank group， the expression levels of p-PKA/PKA， p-CREB/CREB， and Bcl-2 in the model group were significantly decreased （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， the expression levels of these proteins in the medium-dose Bushen Kaixuan Tongluo prescription group were significantly increased （P<0.01）. Real-time PCR results showed that compared with the blank group， the mRNA expressions of PKA， CREB， and Bcl-2 in the model group were significantly down-regulated （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， the mRNA expressions of these genes in the medium-dose Bushen Kaixuan Tongluo prescription group were significantly up-regulated （P<0.05）. ConclusionThe Bushen Kaixuan Tongluo prescription can improve the liver and kidney functions of db/db mice， correct lipid metabolism disorders and glucose metabolism imbalance. Its renal protective effect is associated with up-regulating the cAMP signaling pathway to improve renal fibrosis and reduce the level of oxidative stress， thereby protecting renal function.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of functional pelvic floor muscle training on pelvic floor muscle function, incontinence symptoms and quality of life in female patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). MethodsFrom February, 2024 to July, 2025, 40 female patients with SUI were recruited from Beijing Bo'ai Hospital and advertisements. They were randomly divided into control group (n = 20) and experimental group (n = 20). The control group received conventional pelvic floor muscle contraction and relaxation training, and the experimental group received functional pelvic floor muscle contraction and relaxation training, for eight weeks. The data of pelvic floor muscle strength, pelvic floor muscle surface electromyography (sEMG), 1-hour urine pad test and Incontinence Quality of Life questionnaire (I-QOL) were collected before and after training. The compliance rate was counted after training. ResultsOne case dropped down in the control group and three cases dropped down in the experimental group. After treatment, the pelvic floor muscle strength increased in both groups (|Z| > 3.317, P < 0.01), the pre-resting average value, sustained contraction average value and durable contraction average value of sEMG improved in the control group (|t| > 2.731, P < 0.05), the mass of 1-hour urine pad significantly reduced (t > 9.215, P < 0.001) and the I-QOL score significantly increased (|t| > 13.229, P < 0.001) in both groups; compared with the control group, the pelvic floor muscle strength significantly increased (Z = -2.281, P = 0.023), the mass of 1-hour urine pad significantly reduced (t = 4.215, P < 0.001), the I-QOL score significantly increased (t = -4.501, P < 0.001), and the compliance rate significantly increased (Z = -2.798, P < 0.01) in the experimental group . ConclusionFunctional pelvic floor muscle training can significantly improve pelvic floor muscle strength, incontinence symptoms and quality of life in female patients with SUI.

Purpose Based on multimodal imaging combined with a variety of histological techniques,to visually evaluate the changes of rats brain metabolic microenvironment after cerebral hypoxia and ischemia of prematurity,and to discuss the effects of abnormal lactate metabolism in the brain on oligodendrocyte precursor cells,so as to provide a basis for the early diagnosis and treatment of premature white matter injury(PWMI).Materials and Methods A total of 36 SPF-grade healthy 3-day-old Sprague-Dawley neonatal rats were randomly assigned to the sham surgery(Sham)group and the model(PWMI)group using a random number table method,with 18 rats in each group.A neonatal rat PWMI model was established by hypoxia-ischemia method.Twenty-four hours after modeling,laser speckle imaging was used to monitor cerebral blood flow and blood oxygen changes.Multimodal imaging was used to observe the changes in brain tissue microstructure and metabolism after PWMI.HE staining was used to observe the morphological changes of nerve cells in the white matter of the brain.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the changes of lactate content and lactate dehydrogenase activity in the white matter region of the brain after PWMI in neonatal rats.PDGFR-α immunofluorescence staining was used to observe the dynamic changes of the number of oligodendrocyte precursor cells in the subependymal zone after PWMI in neonatal rats.Results Twenty-four hours after modeling,the multimodal imaging results showed that the T2WI and diffusion-weighted imaging on the injured side of the PWMI group showed high intensity,and the relative cerebral blood flow,relative oxygen saturation,relative apparent diffusion coefficient and amide proton transfer(APT)Lorentzian difference value were lower than those in the Sham group(t=29.466,23.522,59.006,54.778,10.263,all P<0.001),and the lactate content was higher than that in the Sham group(t=-7.521,P<0.001).The results of HE staining and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed that the arrangement of nerve cells in the white matter area of the injured side of the brain in the PWMI group was loose and disordered.The lactate content and lactate dehydrogenase activity were higher than those in the Sham group(t=-6.079,-10.548,both P<0.001).The results of immunofluorescence staining showed that the number of PDGFR-α+cells in the subependymal zone of the damaged side of the PWMI group was higher than that of the Sham group at 24 hours after modeling,and lower than that in the Sham group at 11 days after modeling(t=-8.386,6.676,both P<0.001).The correlation analysis between the lactate content and APT Lorentzian difference value in the brain and the number of oligodendrocyte precursor cells in the brain 11 days after modeling showed that the number of oligodendrocyte precursor cells in the subependymal zone was positively correlated with the APT Lorentzian difference value(r=0.821,P=0.001 1),and negatively correlated with the lactate content in the brain(r=-0.880,P=0.000 2).Conclusion Multimodal imaging can monitor the early brain metabolism changes of PWMI in neonatal rats,especially the changes of lactate,and provide a visual basis for their early diagnosis.The level of lactate in the brain increases after cerebral hypoxia and ischemia in prematurity,and oligodendrocyte precursor cells increase transiently and then decrease,resulting in PWMI.

Objective:To investigate the application effects of learning pyramid theory combined with constructivism in the standardized training of nurses in the department of gastroenterology.Methods:We randomly divided 104 gastroenterology nurses who received standardized training from October 2021 to October 2023 into observation group and control group, with 52 nurses in each group. The control group received conventional teaching, while the observation group received a combination of learning pyramid theory and constructivist teaching.

Objective To explore the intervention effect of tight-fitting equipment on delayed onset muscle soreness(DOMS)after exercise using nuclear magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging com-bined with physiological and biochemical indices.Methods Seven healthy adult males participated in a randomized crossover study,and each subject underwent two experiments,with an interval of 7 days,as an elution period to eliminate the effect of the previous experiment.In both experiments,all sub-jects were induced DOMS by finishing 80 times of deep jumps,in 4 groups.In the first experiment,all subjects(the Con group)wore loose clothes during and in 24 hours after the jumping,while in the second one they(the compression sleeve group,Cs)were in full-leg tight leggings.Before,as well as 0 h,24 h and 48 h after the exercise,the muscle soreness,the peak isokinetic torque of the knee extensor muscle group,and the activities of creatine kinase(CK)and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)were measured.Moreover,before and 24 h after exercise,MRI was performed to measure bi-lateral thigh fractional anisotropy(FA),mean diffusivity(MD),radial diffusivity(RD)and their ei-genvalues(λ1,λ2,λ3).Results The time and group interaction effect for muscle soreness was signifi-cant after exercise(P<0.01),with that of the Cs group significantly lower than the Con group at all three time points after exercise(P<0.01).However,no significant time or group interaction effects were found in the peak isokinetic torque(P>0.05).Moreover,the time and group interaction was sig-nificant in the serum enzyme activity(P<0.05),with CK activity of the Cs group significantly lower than the Con group at 24 h and 48 h after exercise(P<0.05)and LDH activity significantly lower than the latter at 0 h and 24 h after exercise(P<0.05).Meanwhile,MRI showed that the λ2(P<0.05),λ3(P<0.05),and RD(P<0.01)values of quadriceps femoris in the Cs group were significant-ly lower than the Con group at 24 h post-exercise,while the FA values were significantly higher than the latter at the same time point(P<0.05).Conclusion Wearing tight-fitting gear during exercise and within 24 hours after exercise can suppress the elevation of serum CK and LDH activities,and relieve DOMS.Moreover,magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging results suggest that it may be realized by limiting the development of localized edema through sustained pressure on the body.
