ObjectiveTo evaluate the public health governance capacity in Jiangsu Province and provide an optimized pathway for the construction of a “strong, rich, beautiful, and high-quality” new Jiangsu. MethodsA total of 806 policy documents, 658 public information reports, and 148 research literatures related to public health governance capacity in Jiangsu Province from January 1995 to December 2023 were collected. The status of current public health goverance was assessed based on the evaluation criteria suitable for public health systems, and the strengths and the weaknesses of the system were identified. ResultsThe public health governance capability of Jiangsu Province was scored at 738.3 points, ranking 3rd nationally. Maternal health care and emergency response capacities achieved leading positions nationwide, both ranking 2nd. Jiangsu had exhibited a standardized guidance in the strategic level, a well-established management mechanism, an extensive coverage in information collection, and a scientifically established health targets setting. However, bottlenecks remained, including an unclear division of responsibilities across organizational departments, an insufficient public-health workforce, the absence of a stable growth mechanism for government funding investment, and difficulties in promptly identifying public needs. ConclusionJiangsu’s public-health system demonstrates leading nationally, yet several components remain underdeveloped. Future efforts should consolidate advantages while addressing weaknesses, further diversify content and forms, establish a stable funding increase mechanism, and clarify departmental functions, thereby providing solid health support for realizing the developmental goals of a “strong, rich, beautiful and high-quality” new Jiangsu.

ObjectiveTo systematically assess the public health governance capacity in Zhejiang Province, to conduct an in-depth analysis of its strengths and weaknesses, so as to provide scientific basis and strategic recommendations for further enhancement. MethodsA systematic collection of policy documents, public information reports, and research literature related to public health governance capacity in Zhejiang Province from 2002 to 2023 was conducted (encompassing a total of 1 263 policy documents, 138 pieces of information reports and 631 research articles). Based on the evaluation criteria suitable for public health systems previously developed by the research team, the basic status and magnitude of change in public health governance capacity in Zhejiang Province was evaluated. Additionally, normative gap analyses were employed to identify the strengths and weaknesses. ResultsZhejiang Province ranked 4th nationwide in terms of public health governance capacity with a score of 733.4 points (1 000.0-point maximum). The province has effectively implemented the principle of health first (scoring 698.5 points in the assessment of health-first strategy implementation) and attached sufficient importance to health-related goals (scoring 658.2 points in the scientific rationality of goal setting). However, the implementation of inter-departmental coordination and incentive mechanisms only scored 178.7 points, the feasibility of management and monitoring mechanisms scored even lower at only 144.0 points, and the coverage of incentive mechanisms scored 286.0 points. ConclusionZhejiang Province has effectively implemented its health first strategy and attached great importance to health targets, but still needs to strengthen cross-departmental coordination mechanisms and health-oriented incentives.

With the continuous deepening of the concept of precision diagnosis and treatment for lung cancer, how to achieve higher efficiency and accuracy in the screening, diagnosis, and treatment pathways in clinical practice has become an important issue that urgently needs to be overcome. The current clinical difficulty lies in the fact that despite continuous advancements in imaging and molecular diagnostic technologies, there are still limitations in manual efficiency and subjective experience when it comes to massive data analysis and multi-scale feature extraction. Artificial intelligence (AI), especially algorithm systems based on deep learning, is an innovative technology capable of deeply empowering medical big data. This method utilizes algorithms such as convolutional neural networks, combined with radiomics, pathomics, and multi-modal data fusion analysis, demonstrating immense potential in early precise detection and benign-malignant differentiation of pulmonary nodules, digital pathological subtype recognition and non-invasive prediction of driver genes, precise 3D surgical planning and automatic delineation of radiotherapy target volumes, as well as dynamic risk warning during follow-up. This innovative technology provides a brand-new solution for realizing intelligent and individualized lung cancer diagnosis and treatment models. This consensus, based on the latest evidence from evidence-based medicine and combined with the development trends in the AI field and real-world clinical needs, was ultimately formed by gathering the consensus opinions of multidisciplinary experts in radiology, pathology, thoracic surgery, and other fields. The main content covers the application specifications of AI in the three core scenarios of lung cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment, the technical standards for data collection and algorithm validation, as well as the ethical and regulatory challenges faced at the current stage. It aims to clarify the applicable boundaries of AI as a clinical auxiliary decision support tool, providing scientific guidance and standardized exploration directions for peers currently engaged in or planning to carry out AI-assisted clinical diagnosis, treatment, and translation of lung cancer.

To address the growing challenge of an increasing number of elderly lung cancer patients amidst China's aging population and to fill the gap in quality control standards for surgical treatment in this special population, this study aimed to develop a standardized surgical evaluation system for elderly lung cancer patients tailored to China's national conditions. The system was established through a literature review, integrated the pathophysiological characteristics of elderly patients, and was constructed following review, feedback, and revision by experts from multiple thoracic surgery centers. Employing a 100-point scoring system, it comprises three primary domains: physical infrastructure and geriatric adaptability foundational conditions (10 points); management level and perioperative care models (20 points); and technical proficiency and clinical outcomes (70 points). The system places a strong emphasis on geriatric adaptability, proposing specific, quantifiable indicators for age-friendly facility modifications, control of elderly-specific complications, multidisciplinary collaboration, and standardized perioperative management. It provides a convenient and measurable assessment tool for quality control in the surgical treatment of elderly lung cancer in China, which is expected to promote the standardization and homogenization of diagnosis and treatment.

ObjectiveTo systematically review the effect of dual-task training (DTT) on mobility and balance in stroke patients. MethodsCNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase and Cochrane Library were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCT) on DTT in stroke rehabilitation from inception to June, 2025. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool and the PEDro scale. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4. ResultsA total of eleven RCT involving 517 stroke patients were included, and the scores of PEDro scale were four to eight. DTT was more effective on the score of Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Lower Extremity (MD = 3.70, 95%CI 1.88 to 5.53, P < 0.001) and Berg Balance Scale (BBS) (MD = 3.04, 95%CI 1.58 to 4.49, P < 0.001), fall incidence (OR = 0.32, 95%CI 0.11 to 0.87, P = 0.025), gait speed under a single-task condition (MD = 0.08, 95%CI 0.03 to 0.12, P = 0.002), gait speed under a dual-task condition (MD = 0.13, 95%CI 0.10 to 0.16, P < 0.001), Timed Up and Go Test time (MD = -2.78, 95%CI -3.85 to -1.72, P < 0.001), and score of modified Barthel Index (MD = 4.77, 95%CI 1.88 to 7.66, P = 0.001). Subgroup analysis indicated that motor-motor DTT was more effective than cognitive-motor DTT on BBS scores and single-task gait speed. ConclusionsDTT can improve mobility and balance in stroke patients, especially with motor-motor tasks.

Parathyromegaly refers to chronic enlargement of the parathyroid glands caused by multiple etiological factors. Pathological conditions, such as hyperparathyroidism, parathyroid hyperfunction, parathyroid adenoma, parathyroid cysts, and parathyroid carcinoma may all lead to parathyromegaly. Notably, calcium intake insufficiency and/or vitamin D insufficiency (CVI), which is the predominant etiology of parathyromegaly, now has been recognized as a global public health challenge. Chronic CVI induces negative calcium balance and relative low serum calcium level, stimulating compensatory parathyroid hyperplasia and enlargement. This progression triggers parathyroid hyperfunction and secondary hyperparathyroidism, resulting in bone mass loss, height reduction, kyphosis, osteoporosis, pathological fractures, metastatic vascular calcification and systemic abnormal calcium migration and calcinosis (such as urolithiasis). During the early stages of parathyromegaly, the condition remains preventable and treatable; However, delayed intervention may lead to irreversible tertiary hyperparathyroidism. CVI-associated parathyromegaly exhibits high prevalence and heterogeneous clinical manifestations, representing a critically underrecognized clinical entity. This article will systematically discuss the etiology, pathological characteristics, clinical consequences, and prevention and control strategies for CVI-related parathyromegaly.

Objective:To sinicize the adolescent personality structure questionnaire(APS-Q), and to examine the psychometric properties of APS-Q among Chinese adolescents.Methods:APS-Q was sinicized and the Chinese version of APS-Q was used for investigation.A sample of 1 207 adolescents were investigated firstly and randomly divided into sample 1 ( n1=590) and sample 2 ( n2=617) for exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis, respectively. Moreover, the sample 3 ( n3=420) was collected to conduct confirmatory factor analysis for the second time.Sample 4( n4=83) was used to assess the test-retest reliability of APS-Q. The Chinese big five personality inventory-15 (CBF-PI-15), generalized anxiety disorder-7 (GAD-7) and patient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) were used as criterion tools. Both SPSS 21.0 and Mplus 7.4 software were used for the data analysis. Results:Item analysis showed that the CITCs for items 27, 31 and 35 were low.Exploratory factor analysis suggested that after deleting items 3, 4, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 31 and 35, the revised APS-Q was consisted with 25 items, covering 6 dimensions, which were investment and goals, aggression, sense of self, relationship with family, relationship with friends, and self-acceptance, respectively. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the six-factor model fitted well (sample 2: χ2/ df=1.94, RMSEA=0.04, CFI=0.94, TLI=0.93, and SRMR=0.05; sample 3: χ2/ df=2.12, RMSEA=0.05, CFI=0.95, TLI=0.92, and SRMR=0.06). Multigroup CFA indicated that the six-factor structure of APS-Q had strict measurement invariance across sex. The scores of APS-Q were significantly correlated with big five personality, depression, and anxiety(all P<0.05). The total score of APS-Q demonstrated satisfactory internal consistency (α=0.90, ω=0.90, split-half reliability=0.82, MIC=0.27) and test-retest reliability ( r=0.84), while the subscale scores of APS-Q showed acceptable internal consistencies (α=0.71-0.82, ω=0.72-0.82, split-half reliabilities=0.60-0.79, MIC=0.36-0.52) and test-retest coefficients ( r=0.66-0.77). Conclusion:The Chinese version of APS-Q can be used as a reliable and valid measurement to assess personality function for Chinese adolescents.

Objective:To investigate the positive rate,mutation type and distribution characteristics of thalassemia gene detection in children in Nanchong area.Methods:The common α and β-thalassemia gene mutation sites were detected in 1 254 children suspected of thalassemia by hematological screening in our hospital from January 2017 to December 2023,and the genotypes,detection rates and clinical characteristics of thalassemia in local children were statistically analyzed.Results:Among 1 254 children with suspected thalassemia,490 carriers were screened out,with a positive detection rate of 39.07％.Among them,220 cases(17.54％)were α-thalassemia,251 cases(20.02％)wereβ-thalassemia,and 19 cases(1.52％)were αβ compound thalassemia.Among 220 cases of α-thalassemia,the main genotypes were--SEA/αα,-α3.7/αα,-α3.7/--SEA and-α4.2/αα,accounting for 63.64％,18.64％,5.91％,and 5.00％,respectively.Among 251 cases of β-thalassemia,CD17,CD41-42,and IVS-Ⅱ-654 genotypes were the most common,accounting for 40.24％,29.88％,and 17.93％,respectively.In 19 cases of αβ compound thalassemia,the most common genotypes were-α3.7/αα compound CD41-42,--SEA/αα compound CD41-42,--SEA/αα compound CD17,accounting for 26.32％,15.79％,and 15.79％,respectively.In addition,compared with healthy individuals,red blood cell(RBC)in the thalassemia gene carriers was significantly increased,while hemoglobin(Hb),mean corpuscular volume(MCV),mean corpuscular hemoglobin(MCH),mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration(MCHC)and red blood cell distribution width-standard deviation(RDW-SD)were significantly decreased(all P＜0.01).The ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of RDW-SD,MCHC,MCH,MCV,Hb and RBC were 0.827,0.707,0.823,0.863,0.603 and 0.882,respectively.The thalassemia gene carrying rates from 2017 to 2023 in Nanchong were 35.6％(54/154),28.43％(56/197),34.74％(74/213),40.56％(58/143),42.69％(73/171),45.86％(83/181),and 47.18％(92/195),respectively,showing an upward trend year by year.Conclusion:The positive detection rate of children's thalassemia gene in Nanchong is relatively high,and the genetic types are complex,with β-thalassemia as the main type.The genetic pattern shows obvious regional distribution characteristics.The genotypes of thalassemia in children are mainly--SEA/αα,-α3.7/αα,CD17,CD41-42 and IVS-Ⅱ-654,which are consistent with the genotypes of adults in this area,but different from high-risk areas such as Dongguan and Guangxi.

This study investigated the effects and underlying mechanisms of the luteolin-naringenin combination(LN)on liver injury induced by acetaminophen(APAP).Forty-eight Kunming mice were randomly allocated into six groups:a normal control group,an APAP-induced liver injury model group,a positive drug treatment group,and three LN treatment groups with low,medium,and high doses.After the final drug administration,the mice were fasted for 12 hours prior to eu-thanasia for sample collection.Serum transaminase activity,oxidative stress indices,and hematoxy-lin-eosin(HE)staining were assessed to evaluate the effects of LN on APAP-induced hepatic inju-ry.Additionally,Western blot analysis was conducted to examine the expression levels of sphingo-sine kinase 1(SPHK1)and endoplasmic reticulum stress(ERS)-related proteins,thereby elucida-ting the potential mechanisms by which LN mitigates APAP-induced liver injury.The results dem-onstrated that varying concentrations of LN effectively ameliorated serum aminotransferase activi-ty and oxidative stress levels induced by APAP in a dose-dependent manner.Histopathological ex-amination via HE staining revealed significant improvement in APAP-induced liver tissue injury following treatment with different concentrations of LN.Furthermore,Western blot analysis indi-cated that the protein expressions of SPHK1,CHOP,p-IRE1α,ATF6,p-PERK,p-eIF2α,and ATF4 were markedly reduced after administration of various concentrations of LN.The results demonstrate that LN exhibits a significant protective effect against APAP-induced liver injury by inhibiting the SPHK1-mediated aberrant expression of ERS-related molecules.This study high-lights the importance of targeting SPHK1 in the treatment of APAP liver injury and provides a no-vel therapeutic approach through the multi-target and multi-pathway combination of monomers.

BACKGROUND:Although aromatase inhibitors significantly improve the clinical benefit of patients with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer,its associated adverse event-osteoporosis seriously affects the quality of life of patients.Huangqi Bushen Huoxue Decoction can effectively prevent the occurrence of aromatase inhibitor-induced osteoporosis,but its mechanism of action is unclear.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of Huangqi Bushen Huoxue Decoction on osteoclast activity in a mouse model of osteoporosis induced by aromatase inhibitors and relevant mechanisms.METHODS:Sixty 8-week-old female C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into sham operation group,model group,high-,medium-and low-dose Huangqi Bushen Huoxue Decoction,and positive control group,with 10 mice in each group.Bilateral ovaries were removed to establish postmenopausal animal models in all the groups except for the sham operation group.After 1 week of recovery,letrozole was injected subcutaneously to establish postmenopausal osteoporosis models via subcutaneous injection of letrozole(an aromatase inhibitor).The high-,medium-and low-dose Huangqi Bushen Huoxue Decoction groups were intragastrically given 19.24,9.62 and 4.81 g/kg/d Huangqi Bushen Huoxue Decoction(once a day),respectively.The positive control group was given alendronate 5mg/kg once a week.After 3 months of administration,Micro-CT was used to detect tibial bone mineral density and bone microstructure.Hematoxylin-eosin staining and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining of the femur were performed.Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the protein expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand and osteoprotectin in the femur.ELISA was used to detect the serum levels of carboxyterminal cross-linked telopeptides of type I collagen and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with the sham operation group,the model group showed a significant decrease in bone mineral density,sparse and fractured trabecular morphology,and a significant increase in serum levels of carboxyterminal cross-linked telopeptides of type I collagen and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b,indicating that the model of aromatase inhibitor-induced osteoporosis was successfully constructed.(2)Compared with the model group,the high-,medium-,and low-dose Huangqi Bushen Huoxue Decoction groups showed significant improvement in bone mineral density and bone microstructure,thickening and densification of trabecular morphology,significantly decreased serum levels of carboxyterminal cross-linked telopeptides of type I collagen and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b,a decrease in the number of osteoclasts and the expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand proteins,and an increase in the expression of osteoprotegerin.To conclude,Huangqi Bushen Huoxue Decoction may regulate the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand/receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB/osteoprotegerin signaling pathway,inhibit osteoclast activity,improve trabecular morphology and bone microstructure,and increase bone mineral density,thus preventing the occurrence and development of aromatase inhibitor-induced osteoporosis.
