Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of combined detection of serum secreted frizzled-related protein 5(SFRP5),fibroblast growth factor-21(FGF-21)and kidney injury molecule-1(KIM-1)in di-abetic nephropathy(DN).Methods Patients with DN(n=53)who were treated in Jingnan Medical District,General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army from December 2021 to December 2023 were selected as the study group,and patients with simple diabetes(n=53)were selected as the control group.The levels of ser-um SFRP5,FGF-21 and KIM-1 were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the factors affecting the occurrence of DN.The receiver operating char-acteristic(ROC)curve was drawn to analyze the efficacy of serum SFRP5,FGF-21 and KIM-1 levels in the di-agnosis of occurrence of DN.Results Compared with the control group,the levels of fasting blood glucose,u-rine albumin/urine creatinine,urine microalbumin,FGF-21 and KIM-1 in the study group were significantly increased(P<0.05),while the levels of glomerular filtration rate and SFRP5 were significantly decreased(P<0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of serum SFRP5,FGF-21 and KIM-1 in the diagnosis of occur-rence of DN was 0.977,which was larger than that of each index alone(Zthree combination-SFRP5=2.759,P=0.006,Zthree combination-FGF-21=2.936,P=0.003,Zthree combination-KIM-1=3.104,P=0.002).The sensitivity of combined diagno-sis was 96.23%,the specificity was 88.68%,and the Youden index was 0.849.SFRP5,FGF-21,KIM-1,fast-ing blood glucose,glomerular filtration rate,urine albumin/urine creatinine,urine microalbumin were the in-fluencing factors of occurrence of DN(P<0.05).Conclusion The serum SFRP5 level is decreased and FGF-21 and KIM-1 levels are increased in DN patients.The combination of the three has the best diagnostic effi-ciency for occurrence of DN.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of an integrated management model involving the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), general hospitals, and community health service centers in improving outcomes for community-dwelling patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), with the aim of optimizing existing COPD management strategies.Methods:This study was a cluster randomized controlled trial. From January to March 2022, a total of 236 patients with COPD were recruited from four communities in Chibi City, Hubei Province. Ultimately, 223 patients completed follow-up and participated in the intervention evaluation. The participants were cluster-randomized into an intervention group ( n=121) and a control group ( n=102). The intervention group received a one-year "trinity" integrated community management model, while the control group received only basic follow-up. Face-to-face questionnaires were administered before and after the intervention to collect data on demographics, disease awareness, risk factors, respiratory symptoms, medication use, and disease management. Quality of life scores and pulmonary function tests were also assessed. Pre-and post-intervention outcomes were compared using t-tests or chi-square tests. Results:The intervention group demonstrated significantly higher rates of COPD awareness and disease-related knowledge compared to the control group (94.12% vs 77.78% and 78.15% vs 49.49%; both P<0.05), along with lower overall smoking rate and current smoking rate (57.14% vs 70.71% and 29.41% vs 47.47%; both P<0.05). The intervention group showed reduced household polluting fuel use for heating (17.65% vs 28.93%; P<0.05), while the control group exhibited no significant change. Significant improvements were observed in the intervention group for inhaler medication usage (14.05% vs 2.94%), exercise training, and respiratory muscle training (22.31% vs 2.94% and 26.45% vs 0.98%)(all P<0.05). Additionally, the intervention group reported lower prevalence of chronic sputum production, wheezing, and dyspnea (12.40%, 0.83%, 27.27% vs 24.51%, 9.80%, 41.18%; all P<0.05) compared to controls. Pulmonary function tests revealed that the percentage of forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV 1%predicted) was significantly higher in the intervention group than in the control group [(69.53±18.01)% vs (54.90±12.39)%; both P<0.05]. Conclusions:The "trinity" integrated management model effectively enhances health literacy, self-management capabilities, and quality of life among COPD patients, while reducing behavioral risk factors. This model aligns with the long-term and individualized management needs of COPD patients.

miR-135 is a highly conserved miRNA in mammals and includes miR-135a and miR-135b.Recent studies have shown that miR-135b is a key regulatory factor in cardio-cerebrovascular diseases.It is involved in regulating the pathological process of myocardial infarction,myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury,cardiac hypertrophy,atrial fibrillation,diabetic cardiomyopathy,atherosclerosis,pulmonary hyperten-sion,cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury,Parkinson's disease,and Alzheimer's disease.Obviously,miR-135b is an emerging player in cardio-cerebrovascular diseases and is expected to be an important target for the treatment of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases.However,the crucial role of miR-135b in cardio-cerebrovascular diseases and its underlying mechanism of action has not been reviewed.Therefore,in this review,we aimed to comprehensively summarize the role of miR-135b and the signaling pathway mediated by miR-135b in cardio-cerebrovascular diseases.Drugs targeting miR-135b for the treatment of diseases and related patents,highlighting the importance of this target and its utility as a therapeutic target for cardio-cerebrovascular diseases,have been discussed.

Objective:To explore the relationship between white matter integrity and cognitive function in first-episode children and adolescents with schizophrenia by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI).Methods:Totally 84 children and adolescents with first-episode schizophrenia who were hospitalized in the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University from September 2017 to June 2021 were selected as the study group, and 35 healthy children and adolescents matched with the study group were selected as the control group. Positive and negative symptom scale (PANSS) was used to assess the patient's mental symptoms. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) scans were performed, and the structural integrity of white matter fibers in the brain was measured by tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS), with the indicators including fractional anisotropy (FA). The Chinese version of measurement and treatment research to improve cognition in schizophrenia consensus cognitive battery (MCCB) and the Stroop color-word test were used to evaluate the cognitive function of all subjects. SPSS 26.0 software was used to analyse the data by analysis of variance, independent sample t-test, Mann Whitney U-test and Pearson correlation analysis. Results:(1)The FA values of the right superior longitudinal tract (MNI: x=49, y=-40, z=31) and the left corticospinal tract (MNI: x=-27, y=-22, z=-19) in the study group were higher than those in the control group(both P<0.05). The FA values of the bilateral cingulate gyrus (MNI: x=-7, y=25, z=14; x=20, y=-50, z=25) and the occipital part of the corpus callosum radiation line (MNI: x=-19, y=-50, z=21) in the study group were lower than those in the control group(both P<0.05).(2)The trail making test score of the study group was higher than that of the control group( t=4.344, P<0.01), and the scores of the symbol coding, Hopkins verbal learning test-revised( HVLT-R), brief visuospatial memory test-revised(BVMT-R), word fluency test, number span, maze, Stroop word, Stroop color and Stroop color words were lower than those in the control group( t=-13.041--3.204, all P<0.05). (3) The FA value of right cingulate gyrus (hippocampus) was negatively correlated with the number span ( r=-0.269, P=0.023).The FA value in occipital part of the corpus callosum radiation line was positively correlated with the symbol code ( r=0.237, P=0.047).The FA value of the left lower longitudinal bundle was negatively correlated with the Stroop color and maze ( r=-0.289, -0.275; P=0.010, 0.020).The FA value of the right inferior longitudinal fasciculus was negatively correlated with the score of maze ( r=-0.254, P=0.032). The FA value of occipital part of the corpus callosum radiation line was positively correlated with positive symptom score ( r=0.170, P=0.040). Conclusion:Cognitive dysfunction in children and adolescent with first-episode schizophrenia may be related to abnormal white matter integrity in the brain.

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex and is mainly manifested as pulmonary tuberculosis. Mycobacterium tuberculosis is characterized by high pathogenicity and drug resistance due to its high viability and lethality, and multidrug-resistant tuberculosis caused by it has become a global public health problem. Early and effective treatment is essential to prevent the emergence of drug-resistant strains. Commonly employed methods for the screening and diagnosis of TB include: clinical signs, imaging examinations (chest X-ray, computed tomography), sputum culture (L-J medium, BACTEC liquid culture system), and immunological tests (lipoarabinomannan antigen test, tuberculin skin test, interferon-gamma release test). In recent years, emerging molecular diagnostic methods such as GeneXpert MTB/RIF assay, loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), linear probe assay, and whole-genome sequencing have been used to diagnose and characterize TB. These methods not only identify Mycobacterium tuberculosis but also detect mutation sites associated with resistance to first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs (isoniazid, rifampicin, etc.), providing new possibilities for the diagnosis of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In this paper, the advantages and disadvantages of some commonly used detection methods for tuberculosis are first reviewed, aiming at assisting clinicians to diagnose and treat the disease in a timely manner. Secondly, this paper explores the prospects of the latest high-throughput detection methods for drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
