This study aims to establish BHK-21 stable cell lines expressing APN from four species(human,pig,dog,and cat),the APN fragments were amplified from pEGFP-C1-APN plasmids of the four species stored in the laboratory to generate the recombinant plasmids pcDNA4.0-APN.Af-ter the recombinant plasmids were transfected into BHK-21 cells,the stable BHK-21 cell lines ex-pressing the APNs were selected by two rounds of limited dilution.The constructed BHK-21 cell lines were identified by indirect immunofluorescence assay(IFA),and their susceptibility to PD-CoV and TGEV was tested for these four cell lines.Virus infection experiments revealed that PD-CoV infected cells expressing human,pig,and dog APNs,while it did not infect cells expressing cat APN.Simultaneously,TGEV infected cells expressing pig,dog,and cat APNs,but did not infect cells expressing human APN.The results suggest that the risk of cross-species infection for different coronaviruses and the established cell line can be used effectively to evaluate the virus in-fection.The findings also revealed that PDCoV has the potential risk of cross-species infection of human and dog,and TGEV has the potential risk of cross-species infection of dog and cat.These results provide a basis for the prevention and control strategy of coronaviruses.

Chronic pain causes physical suffering and can have major psychological impacts in patients.Chronic pain can induce depressive disorder,and clinical studies have consistently shown that chronic pain and depression frequently co-occur,suggesting the possibility of shared pathogenic mechanisms underlying these conditions.Acupuncture,as an alternative therapy,has been widely used for analgesia and to treat depression,with demonstrated clinical efficacy.The therapeutic mechanism of acupuncture is related to neural and endocrine regulation.This review considers the mechanism of chronic pain accompanied by depression,in relation to the brain regions and neural circuits affected by acupuncture treatment.This review provides a new approach for the treatment of depression caused by chronic pain.

Chronic diseases in the elderly are characterised by high incidence rates and prolonged duration.Regular participation in multi-component exercise programs promotes both the physical and mental health of the elderly with chronic diseases and reduces the risk of morbidity,making it the key to prevent chronic diseases in the elderly.This review introduces the concepts of multi-component exercise,elucidates the mechanism in improvement of physical and cognitive functions and evaluates the applications as well as the advantages and disadvantages in the management of chronic diseases in the elderly.This review intends to provide references for clinicians who undertake management role of the chronic diseases in elderly populations.

Objectives:Using data from the heart transplant patient dataset of our center,we aimed to develop a preoperative risk scoring model specifically suitable for the Chinese population undergoing heart transplantation.This model was established to predict the likelihood of graft failure within the first year post-surgery and classify recipients according to their risk level.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted at a single center on 1 210 consecutive heart transplant recipients between June 2004 and December 2022.Risk factor screening was performed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses.Variable selection was carried out through a stepwise backward procedure based on the Akaike Information Criterion(AIC).The regression coefficients obtained from the final model were employed as weighting factors in the multifactor analysis.The study utilized the area under the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)area under curve(AUC)as a metric to evaluate the performance of the model.Patients were stratified into low,medium,and high-risk groups based on the distribution of the calculated scores.Survival analysis was conducted on the various risk groups using the Kaplan-Meier method,with statistical comparisons performed using the log-rank test.A significance level of P<0.05 was deemed statistically significant.Results:A risk scoring model,denoted as the heart transplant(HTx)score,was developed,comprising 11 variables and yielding a total score of 20.6 points.In comparison to the low-risk group,the OR for 1-year graft failure in the medium-risk group was 2.0(95%CI:1.1-3.6,P=0.02),while the high-risk group had an OR of 9.8(95%CI:5.4-17.7,P<0.01).The risk scoring model exhibited strong discriminative ability with an AUC of 0.712(95%CI:0.646-0.778)and an internally validated bias-corrected AUC of 0.713.The results of the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test indicated that the predictive model demonstrated a strong calibration ability(Hosmer-Lemeshow χ2=2.92,P=0.71).Within the cohort,the AUC values for the IMPACT score,UNOS score,RSS score,Mayo score,BO score,and TRS score models were 0.645,0.651,0.632,0.589,0.610,and 0.604,respectively.These findings suggest that the HTx scoring model exhibited superior predictive performance compared to the aforementioned models in forecasting outcomes within our cohort.The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed statistically significant differences in long-term survival rates between the three risk groups,a noticeable decrease in long-term survival rates were observed with increasing levels of HTx risk stratification(P<0.05).Conclusions:Present results indicate a significant association between the developed HTx risk scores and graft failure within the initial year post-surgery,present model effectively categorizes the heart transplant recipients into low,medium,and high-risk groups and is valuable for risk stratification.

Objective:To systematically evaluate qualitative research on intimate relationship experiences between dementia patients and their spouses.Methods:Qualitative studies on intimate relationship experiences of individuals with dementia and their spouses were electronically retrieved from the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, VIP, and SinoMed. The search period was from the establishment of the database to June 30, 2025. The literature was evaluated for quality using the Joanna Briggs Institute Quality Assessment Criteria for Qualitative Research. The results were synthesized through the aggregative integration method.Results:A total of 12 studies were included, yielding 46 findings that were categorized into 9 themes and synthesized into 3 integrated outcomes of dysfunction and challenges in intimate relationships, adjustment and coping strategies in intimate relationships, and reshaping and sublimation in intimate relationships.Conclusions:Patients with dementia and their spouses face multiple challenges in their intimate relationships and marital quality. Healthcare providers should focus on the lived experiences and unmet needs of dementia patients and their spouses, offer targeted psychological interventions and support, promote the stable development of intimate relationships, so as to improve their capacity to cope with the disease.

Objectives:To investigate the mechanism underlying the protective effects of polydatin(PD)a-gainst oxygen-glucose deprivation(OGD)-induced neuronal injury and acute spinal cord injury(SCI).Methods:The mouse hippocampal neuronal cell line HT22 was used in in vitro experiments.The cytotoxicity of PD was assessed using the CCK-8 assay:cells were treated with 0,1,3,10,30 and 100μM PD for 24h to de-termine the safe concentration range.After OGD modeling(24h),cells were treated with different concentrations of PD(0,3,10,and 30μM),and cell viability was measured via CCK-8 to identify the optimal protective concentration.Autophagy markers(LC3 and P62)were detected by immunofluorescence and Western blot(WB);Autophagosome formation was observed using transmission electron microscopy;And the apoptosis rate was e valuated by TUNEL staining.For in vivo studies,an acute SCI model was established in C57BL/6 mice using Allen's impact method.Animals were divided into sham,SCI model,and PD treatment(20mg/kg)groups,with n=10 per group.Tissues were collected on 7d and 14d post-injury.Spinal cord pathology was examined by HE staining on 7d and 14d.Immunofluorescence was performed on 14d to evaluate glial scar formation(GFAP+),neuronal survival(MAP2+),cell proliferation(BrdU+),and autophagy level(LC3 Ⅱ).Results:In vitro results showed that 1-100μM PD did not exhibit significant cytotoxicity toward HT22 cells.The optimal concentration of PD was determined to be 10μ M after OGD induction.Compared with the OGD group,10μM PD significantly enhanced cell viability after OGD[OGD group:(54.63±3.90)％vs OGD+PD(1 0μ M)group:(84.35±1.38)％,P＜0.05]and effectively attenuated autophagy activation,as evidenced by a decreased LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰratio(OGD group:11.0±0.57 vs OGD+PD group:3.50±0.28,P＜0.05),increased P62 accumulation(OGD group:0.55±0.04 vs OGD+PD group:0.93±0.06,P＜0.05),reduced number of autolysosomes,and significantly lower apoptosis rate[OGD group:(35.33±2.6)％vs OGD+PD group:(19.67±1.76)％,P＜0.05].In vivo,HE staining confirmed that pathological damage in spinal cord tissue was markedly alleviated in the PD-treated group compared with the SCI model group.Immunofluorescence results indicated that PD treatment inhibited fibrous scar formation(SCI group:2.32±0.19mm2 vs PD group:1.07±0.24mm2,P＜0.05),reduced neuronal damage(SCI group:1.72±0.28mm vs PD group:0.93±0.12mm,P＜0.05)and promoted cell proliferation[SCI group:(16.14±2.24)％vs PD group:(39.09±3.16)％,P＜0.05],and downregulated LC3 Ⅱ expression(SCI group:62.81±5.25 vs PD group:34.09±3.98,P＜0.05).Conclusions:PD ameliorates neural damage by concurrently suppressing autophagy and apoptosis,providing a dual-pathway therapeutic strategy for SCI.
