ObjectiveTo explore the effect of the medical-community linkage model on activities of daily living, psychological status and motor function of stroke patients in the community. MethodsA total of 60 stroke patients admitted to two community health service centers and their affiliated stations in Fengtai District, Beijing, from January, 2024 to August, 2025 were enrolled and randomly divided into control group (n = 30) and intervention group (n = 30). The control group received routine medicine, dietary care and rehabilitation management, while the intervention group underwent rehabilitation with the medical-community linkage model, for twelve weeks. They were assessed with modified Barthel Index (MBI), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) before and after intervention. ResultsAfter intervention, the MBI, HAMA, HAMD and FMA scores of patients improved in both groups (|t| > 5.599, P < 0.001), and improved more in the intervention group than in the control group (P < 0.05), except MBI. The HAMA and HAMD scores of family members decreased in both groups (|t| > 10.333, P < 0.001), and decreased more in the intervention group than in the control group (t > 5.681, P < 0.001). ConclusionThe medical-community linkage model can further improve the motor function of stroke patients in community, as well as the psychological status of both patients and their family members.

BACKGROUND: Senescent human skin primary fibroblast (FB) models have been established for studying aging-related, proliferative, and inflammatory skin diseases. The aim of this study was to compare the transcriptome characteristics of human primary dermal FBs from children and the elderly with four senescence models. METHODS: Human skin primary FBs were obtained from healthy children (FB-C) and elderly donors (FB-E). Senescence models were generated by ultraviolet B irradiation (FB-UVB), D-galactose stimulation (FB-D-gal), atazanavir treatment (FB-ATV), and replication exhaustion induction (FB-P30). Flow cytometry, immunofluorescence staining, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, co-culturing with immune cells, and bulk RNA sequencing were used for systematic comparisons of the models. RESULTS: In comparison with FB-C, FB-E showed elevated expression of senescence-related genes related to the skin barrier and extracellular matrix, proinflammatory factors, chemokines, oxidative stress, and complement factors. In comparison with FB-E, FB-UVB and FB-ATV showed higher levels of senescence and expression of the genes related to the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), and their shaped immune microenvironment highly facilitated the activation of downstream immune cells, including T cells, macrophages, and natural killer cells. FB-P30 was most similar to FB-E in terms of general transcriptome features, such as FB migration and proliferation, and aging-related characteristics. FB-D-gal showed the lowest expression levels of senescence-related genes. In comparisons with the single-cell RNA sequencing results, FB-E showed almost complete simulation of the transcriptional spectrum of FBs in elderly patients with atopic dermatitis, followed by FB-P30 and FB-UVB. FB-E and FB-P30 showed higher similarity with the FBs in keloids. CONCLUSIONS Each senescent FB model exhibited different characteristics. In addition to showing upregulated expression of natural senescence features, FB-UVB and FB-ATV showed high expression levels of senescence-related genes, including those involved in the SASP, and FB-P30 showed the greatest similarity with FB-E. However, D-galactose-stimulated FBs did not clearly present aging characteristics.

Based on the viewpoint of "sweat pore-qi and liquid-kidney collaterals"， it is believed that children's nephrotic syndrome is caused by the core mechanism of sweat pore constraint and closure， qi and liquid imbalance， and kidney collaterals impairment， and it is proposed that the treatment principle is to nourish the sweat pore， regulate qi and fluid， and supplement the kidney and unblock the collaterals. In clinic， guided by sequential therapy and according to the different disease mechanism characteristics of the four stages， including early stage of the disease， hormone induction stage， hormone reduction stage， hormone maintenance stage， the staged dynamic identification and treatment was applied. For early stage of the disease with edema due to yang deficiency， modified Zhenwu Decoction （真武汤） was applied to warm yang and drain water； for hormone induction stage with yin deficiency resulting in effulgent fire， modified Zhibai Dihuang Pill （知柏地黄丸） plus Erzhi Pill （二至丸） was used to enrich yin and reduce fire； for hormone reduction stage with qi and yin deficiency， modified Shenqi Dihuang Decoction （参芪地黄汤） was used to boost qi and nourish yin； for hormone maintenance stage， modified Shenqi Pill （肾气丸） was used to supplement yin and yang. Meanwhile， the treatment also attaches importance to the combination of vine-based or worm medicinals to dredge collaterals， so as to providing ideas for clinical treatment.

Objective:To explore the features of levels of lung cancer biomarkers in peripheral blood of adults in Beijing and surrounding areas, and establish personalized reference intervals for these biomarkers.Methods:A cross sectional study was conducted. The lung cancer biomarker data, including carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), cytokeratin 19 fragment antigen 21-1 (CYFRA21-1), neuron specific enolase (NSE), progastrin-releasing peptide (ProGRP), and squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag), collected from adults who underwent cancer prevention examinations at the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from July 2021 to July 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The interquartile range method was used to eliminate outliers, and the P95 value was calculated. Upper limit of 5 lung cancer biomarkers in different gender and age groups were obtained by referring to the reference intervals of quantitative analytes in the clinical laboratory (WS/T 402-2024). By analyzing the data of 208 adults who underwent cancer prevention physical examinations at the same center in June 2021 and 140 patients with benign lung masses confirmed by surgical resection pathology from January 2016 to June 2022, the established reference intervals for biomarkers were validated. Results:Two thousand six hundred and twenty-six cases of apparently healthy physical examiners were included for constructing reference intervals, including 1 456 males (55.4%) and 1 170 females (44.6%); the age range was 20-88 years old. The serum levels [ M ( Q1, Q3)] of CEA, NSE, ProGRP, SCC-Ag and CYFRA21-1 in 2 626 cases were 1.63 (1.07, 2.43) ng/ml, 13.08 (11.44, 14.77) ng/ml, 34.93 (29.02, 42.19) pg/ml, 0.80 (0.60, 1.00) ng/ml and 1.96 (1.48, 2.63) ng/ml, respectively. The serum levels of CEA [1.88 (1.22, 2.76) ng/ml vs. 1.41 (0.93, 2.02) ng/ml], NSE [13.31 (11.87, 15.00) ng/ml vs. 12.69 (10.96, 14.53) ng/ml], SCC-Ag [0.9 (0.7, 1.1) ng/ml vs. 0.7 (0.6, 0.9) ng/ml], and CYFRA21-1 [2.02 (1.53, 2.71) ng/ml vs. 1.87 (1.40, 2.51) ng/ml] in males were higher than those in females, and ProGRP [34.00 (28.25, 41.55) pg/ml vs. 36.12 (29.97, 42.98) pg/ml] was lower than that in females, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.001). There were statistically significant differences in serum CEA levels between the groups of ≤ 40 years old (458 cases), >40-50 years old (827 cases), >50-60 years old (783 cases), >60-70 years old (412 cases), and >70 years old (146 cases) in pairwise comparison (all P < 0.05). Except for the age groups of ≤ 40 years old and >40-50 years old and the age groups of >60-70 years old and >70 years old, there were statistically significant differences in serum NSE levels among the other age groups in pairwise comparison (all P < 0.05). There were statistically significant differences in serum ProGRP levels between the 5 age groups (all P < 0.05). There were statistically significant differences when comparing the serum SCC-Ag level in the >40-50 age group, >50-60 age group and >60-70 age group with that in the ≤40 age group and >70 age group, respectively (all P < 0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference between the other age groups in pairwise comparison (all P > 0.05). There were statistically significant differences in serum CYFRA21-1 levels between the 5 age groups (all P < 0.05). When gender and age were not distinguished, the P95 values of serum CEA, NSE, ProGRP, SCC-Ag and CYFRA21-1 levels were 4.44 ng/ml, 16.61 ng/ml, 57.65 pg/ml, 1.50 ng/ml, and 4.21 ng/ml, respectively. Considering gender and age, except for the >70 age group with no statistically significant difference in the P95 value of serum CEA level between males and females ( P > 0.05), the P95 value of serum CEA level in males was higher than that in females in all other age groups (all P < 0.001); the P95 values of serum CEA level in both males and females increased with age, but showed a decreasing trend in males over the age of 70. The P95 value of serum NSE level in males was higher than that in females in the age groups of ≤ 40 years and >40-50 years (both P < 0.05), while there was no statistically significant difference in the P95 value of serum NSE level between males and females in other age groups (all P > 0.05). The P95 values of serum NSE level in both males and females decreased firstly and increased later with age, reaching their highest levels at the age of >70. The P95 values of serum ProGRP level in females aged ≤ 40 and >50-60 were higher than those in males (both P < 0.05), while there was no statistically significant difference in the P95 value of serum ProGRP level between genders in other age groups (all P > 0.05); the P95 values of serum ProGRP level in both males and females increased with age. There was no statistically significant difference in the P95 value of serum SCC-Ag level between males and females in the ≤ 40 age group ( P > 0.05), while the P95 value of serum SCC-Ag level in males was higher than that in females in all other age groups (all P < 0.05). The P95 values of serum SCC-Ag level in males increased with age, while they were stable in females. There was no statistically significant difference in the P95 value of serum CYFRA21-1 level between males and females in the >60-70 age group ( P > 0.05), while the P95 value of serum CYFRA21-1 level in males was higher than those in females in all other age groups (all P < 0.05); the P95 values of serum CYFRA21-1 level in both males and females increased with age. Based on data from 2 626 apparently healthy physical examiners, reference intervals for the levels of 5 lung cancer biomarkers were constructed in different age groups of different genders. Validation was conducted on 208 physical examiners and 140 patients with benign lung lesions, and it was found that the compliance rate of using newly created reference intervals for different gender and age groups to interpret detection results was >90%, and the validation was passed. Conclusions:There are gender and age differences in the reference intervals of CEA, CYFRA21-1, NSE, ProGRP, and SCC-Ag in peripheral blood of adults in Beijing and surrounding areas. The constructed reference intervals of gender and age for biomarkers have been validated and shown good results, providing reference for optimizing the clinical application of lung cancer-related biomarkers.

Objective: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder with onset in infancy. Early intervention is critical to improve the prognosis for these children. E-health interventions have tremendous potential. This review aimed to determine the status and effectiveness of family interventions for parents of children aged 0–6 years with ASD in the context of e-health. Methods: The review methodology was guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. PubMed, Web of Science, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure were searched from inception to June 2022. The searches were limited to children with ASD of the age range between 0 and 6 years. We collated the available information and used descriptive statistics to analyze the synthesized data. Results: Our initial search identified 3,672 articles, of which 30 studies met the inclusion criteria. The 30 articles selected were released between 2012 and 2022. All articles are in English. Most articles reviewed were from high-income countries (27/30, 90.0%), especially from the United States (16/30, 53.3%). Four major themes emerged from the 30 studies that matched the inclusion criteria, as follows: 1) type of e-health interventions, 2) duration of interventions, 3) clinical aspects of e-health interventions, and 4) evidence for intervention effectiveness, looking into the positive, negative, and mixed findings of previous studies. Conclusion These findings suggest that a wide variety of e-health interventions may actually help support both children with ASD aged 0–6 years and their parents.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the mechanism of Yifei xuanfei jiangzhuo formula （YFXF） against vascular dementia （VD）. METHODS The differentially expressed genes of YFXF （YDEGs） were obtained by network pharmacology. High-risk genes were screened from YDEGs by using the nomogram model. The optimal machine learning models in generalized linear， support vector machine， extreme gradient boosting and random forest models were screened based on high-risk genes. VD model rats were established by bilateral common carotid artery occlusion， and were randomly divided into model group and YFXF group （12.18 g/kg， by the total amount of crude drugs）， and sham operation group was established additionally， with 6 rats in each group. The effects of YFXF on behavior （using escape latency and times of crossing platform as indexes）， histopathologic changes of cerebral cortex， and the expression of proteins related to the secreted phosphoprotein 1 （SPP1）/phosphoinositide 3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （aka Akt） signaling pathway and the mRNA expression of SPP1 in cerebral cortex of VD rats were evaluated. RESULTS A total of 6 YDEGs were obtained， among which SPP1， CCL2， HMOX1 and HSPB1 may be high-risk genes of VD. The generalized linear model based on high-risk genes had the highest prediction accuracy （area under the curve of 0.954）. Compared with the model group， YFXF could significantly shorten the escape latency of VD rats， significantly increase the times of crossing platform （P＜0.05）； improve the pathological damage of cerebral cortex， such as neuronal shrinkage and neuronal necrosis； significantly reduce the expressions of SPP1 protein and mRNA （P＜0.05）， while significantly increase the phosphorylation levels of PI3K and Akt （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS VD high-risk genes SPP1， CCL2， HMOX1 and HSPB1 may be the important targets of YFXF. YFXF may play an anti-VD role by down-regulating the protein and mRNA expressions of SPP1 and activating PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.
