Objective To test the hypothesis that backward crawling and forward crawling share similar inter-joint coordination patterns,thus providing potential evidence for the application of backward crawling in rehabilitation training.Methods The acceleration signals in the X,Y,and Z directions for 9 joints(including bilateral wrists,elbows,shoulders,knees,and hips)in 9 volunteers during forward and backward crawling were collected using a custom signal acquisition system,and the pressure signals were also recorded when the palms contacted the ground.The collected acceleration signals were preprocessed,segmented into cycles,and vectorized.Based on the pressure signals,a single crawling cycle was divided into support phase and swing phase.In addition,principal component analysis was applied to extract inter-joint coordination in limbs at various scales(sagittal,coronal,and transverse planes).Pearson correlation coefficients of inter-joint coordination patterns were compared between forward and backward crawling in support period,swing period,and full cycle.Results The correlation coefficients for coordination patterns in the full cycle at the transverse plane scale were 0.813 5(PC1)and 0.837 5(PC2),and the correlation coefficient of the support period PC2 was 0.901 8.At the sagittal plane scale,the correlation coefficient of the support period PC1 was 0.948 5.Conclusion The study provides preliminary evidence that limb motion coordination patterns during backward crawling are similar to those observed during forward crawling.Future research will further explore the effects of backward crawling on functional rehabilitation in individuals with motor impairments.

Objective:The serum ferritin-to-albumin ratio(FAR)has been proposed as a novel prognostic marker for sepsis,but its predictive role in outcomes among critically ill patients remains unclear.This study aimed to investigate the correlation between FAR and in-hospital mortality among critically ill patients.Methods:Based on the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-Ⅳ(MIMIC-Ⅳ),8,136 Intensive Care Unit(ICU)patients were included.Multivariate logistic regression was used to evaluate the predictive value of FAR for in-hospital mortality,and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis was performed to compare its predictive performance with other parameters.Results:The overall in-hospital mortality was 2.31％.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that FAR was an independent predictor of in-hospital death(OR=2.190,95％CI=1.730-2.780,P=0.000).ROC analysis revealed that FAR achieved a significantly higher area under the curve(AUC)value(0.72)compared to ferritin(0.69)and albumin(0.26),with an optimal cutoff value of 80.57.Subgroup analysis demonstrated no significant interaction effects between FAR and most subgroups(P＞0.05),except for the hypertension subgroup.Conclusion:FAR is significantly associated with in-hospital mortality in critically ill patients,and elevated FAR values indicate an increased risk of death.

Aim To investigate the effects of breast cancer-related depression model on microglial activa-tion and neuronal function via the NLRP3-COX-2 sig-naling pathway.Methods In the cell experiment,BV2 and HT22 cells were co-cultured to observe the polarization of BV2 cells and the injury of HT22 cells.In the animal experiment,behavioral experiments were used to evaluate the depressive behaviors of mice.HE staining and tumor weight were used to evaluate the changes of axillary tumors.ELISA was used to detect the contents of CA153,CA125,CEA,as well as the changes in the contents of 5-HT,DA and others in the serum and hippocampus.RT-qPCR and immunohisto-chemistry were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of IL-1 β,IL-18 and other indicators,re-spectively.Immunofluorescence was used to detect CD1 1b and Iba-1.Nissl staining and transmission elec-tron microscopy were used to observe the hippocampal neurons.Results The results of cell experiments showed that compared with the model group,the pro-tein contents and mRNA expression levels of NLRP3,COX-2,and IL-1 β in the NLRP3 knockdown group were all decreased.The results of animal experiments showed that compared with the model group,the be-havioral performance of the experimental group was im-proved,and the mRNA and protein expression levels of IL-1 β,IL-18,and NLRP3 were decreased.Conclu-sion BCRD may mediate the polarization of microglia and the injury of hippocampal neurons through the NL-RP3-COX-2 signaling pathway.

Objective:Varicocele(VC)induces male infertility by mediating changes in the testicular microenvironment,in which testicular hypoxia and high-pressure are important pathological conditions.This study aims to compare the mouse spermatogenesis(GC-2spd)cells and Sertoli(TM4)cells of mouse testis after hypoxic modeling and hypoxic and high-pressure combined modeling,and to explore the feasibility of establishing a hypoxic and high-pressure combined cell model.Methods:On the basis of cell hypoxia induced by CoCl2,the complex model of testicular cell hypoxia and high pressure was constructed by changing the osmotic pressure of GC-2 and TM4 cell medium with a high concentration of NaCl solution.After selecting the intervention concentration of CoCl2 by MTT test and detecting the expression level of HIF-1α for the determination of the optimal osmotic pressure conditions of the cell model,the cells were divided into normal group,hypoxia model group and composite model group.And the levels of OS,programmed cell death,inflammatory factors,and the expression levels of pyroptosis-related proteins were compared between the normal group and the groups with different modeling methods.Results:The optimal intervention concentration of CoCl2 in GC-2 and TM4 cells was 150 and 250μmol/L,respectively,and the expression of HIF-1α was the highest in both cells under osmotic pressure of 500 mOsmol/kg(P＜0.05).Compared with the normal group,the SOD levels of GC-2 and TM4 cells decreased(all P＜0.05),CAT level decreased(all P＜0.05),and MDA level increased(all P＜0.01),and the OS level of GC-2 and TM4 cells was more obvious than that of the hy-poxia model group(all P＜0.05).Compared with the normal group,apoptosis occurred in GC-2 and TM4 cells after composite model-ing(all P＜0.05).Compared with the normal group,the mRNA expressions of IL-1β,IL-18,TNF-α and COX-2 in GC-2 and TM4 cells significantly increased(P＜0.01)and higher than those in hypoxia model group(P＜0.05)and induced pyroptosis(P＜0.01).The expression level of GSDMD increased(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The cell model with hypoxia and high pressure com-bined modeling can not only induce oxidative stress and apoptosis of cells better than that with hypoxia alone,but also further cause in-flammatory response damage and pyroptosis,which simulates the changes of testis microenvironment mediated by hypoxia and high pressure combined conditions in VC.This cell model can be used for studying the pathogenesis of VC-associated male infertility,evalu-ating drug efficacy,and exploring pharmacological mechanisms.

Objective:This study aims to explore the application effect of anticipatory risk intervention combined with health education under LEARNS mode in elderly patients with chronic heart failure(CHF).Methods:This randomized controlled enrolled 126 elderly CHF patients admitted in Panzhihua Central Hospital between January 2022 and February 2023.They were divided into control group(n=63)and intervention group(n=63).All patients received routine nursing care,patients in control group received additional health education under LEARNS mode,compared to those in intervention group receiving additional anticipatory risk intervention based on control group,both groups were intervened for 2 months.Physiological indexes,negative emotion,quality of life,sleep quality,disease perception&control and self-efficacy,as well as incidence of adverse events,were compared between two groups.Results:Compared with patients in control group after intervention,those in intervention group had signif-icant lower systolic blood pressure(SBP)[(119.84±8.60)mmHg vs.(129.49±9.24)mmHg],diastolic blood pressure(DBP)[(81.59±5.08)mmHg vs.(88.51±6.36)mmHg],N terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP)[(2604.46±204.80)ng/L vs.(3024.87±212.27)ng/L],scores of Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)[(55.90±2.43)points vs.(60.11±2.62)points],Self-Rating Depression Scale(SDS)[(57.03±2.56)points vs.(61.54±2.66)points],Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire(MLHFQ)[(52.05±6.32)points vs.(60.46±7.10)points]and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI)[(9.00±1.65)points vs.(11.05±1.96)points],and significant higher left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)[(51.83±7.28)％vs.(47.57±5.98)％],scores of Control Attitude Scale-Revised(CAS-R)[(35.59±2.97)points vs.(30.60±3.52)points]and Gen-eral Self-Efficacy Scale(GSES)[(36.98±4.21)points vs.(30.52±4.14)points](P＜0.001 all).Incidence of adverse events in intervention group was significantly lower than that of control group(3.17％vs.12.70％,P=0.048).Conclusion:Anticipatory risk intervention combined with health education under the LEARNS model could effectively improve the physiological indexes,quality of life and sleep,enhance disease perception and self-effica-cy,and reduce negative emotion and incidence of adverse events in elderly CHF patients.

Objective:To investigate factors influencing frequent episodes (≥ 4 episodes within 1 year) in children with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) in China.Methods:A national multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted. Patients under the age of 18 years diagnosed with moderate-to-severe AD were enrolled at dermatology clinics in 18 medical institutions across 12 provinces and municipalities in China between June 12 and August 8, 2023. At the time of the visit, their guardians completed a structured questionnaire covering demographic characteristics, clinical features of AD, personal and family history, factors associated with frequent episodes of moderate-to-severe AD, compliance with treatment, and disease awareness. Statistical analyses included t tests, one-way analysis of variance, rank-sum tests, and chi-square tests, with multiple-response analysis applied for multiple-choice questions. Results:A total of 965 valid questionnaires were collected, and 965 children with moderate-to-severe AD were included. Among them, there were 531 males and 434 females, 678 (70.3%) were aged 2 - < 12 years, 837 (86.7%) were from urban areas, the age at onset was 2.47 ± 3.03 years, and the median frequency of AD episodes in the past year was 4 times. These children were divided into 2 groups based on the median episode frequency: < 4-episode group (439 cases, 45.5%) and ≥ 4-episode group (526 cases, 54.5%). Compared with the < 4-episode group, children in the ≥ 4-episode group showed younger ages at onset (2.22 ± 2.98 years vs. 2.76 ± 3.06 years, P = 0.006) and higher proportions of patients with comorbid allergic diseases in both the children themselves (82.9% [436/526] vs. 69.7% [306/439], χ2 = 23.42, P < 0.001) and their relatives (66.0% [347/526] vs. 57.4% [252/439], χ2 = 7.46, P = 0.006). Children in the ≥ 4- episode group also had higher monthly usage of moisturizers (150 [30, 300] g vs. 60 [6, 200] g) and daily frequency of moisturizer use, greater disease awareness, but more severe fear of medication use (all P < 0.05). The region and the human development index level were both significantly associated with the episode frequency (both P < 0.001), with the highest proportion of children from South China in the ≥ 4- episode group (36.3%, 191/526). Children in the ≥ 4-episode group also had a longer duration of topical glucocorticoid use than those in the < 4-episode group ( Z = -2.21, P = 0.027). External triggers associated with AD episodes mainly included heat exposure (50.36%, 486/965), hot water bathing (40.73%, 393/965), seafood (23.52%, 227/965), and dust mites (33.37%, 322/965) . Conclusion:In children with moderate-to-severe AD in China, factors influencing frequent episodes may include residence in southern or economically developed regions, earlier age at onset, having a personal or family history of allergic diseases, and fear of medication use.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.
