With the rapid development of network technology， live surgery has become the new way of surgery teaching. However， the issue of patient privacy protection caused by live surgery has received widespread attention. Based on the evolutionary game theory， this paper constructed an evolutionary game model from the three-party perspectives of doctors， patients， and government and analyzed the game behaviors of the three parties in the process of live surgery. Matlab software was utilized to conduct dynamic simulation and numerical simulation analysis. It was found that the factors affecting the choice of doctors’ strategies included protection costs， the cost of privacy leakage， the benefits of protection， high-traffic benefits， and other aspects； the factors affecting the choice of patient strategies encompassed surgical costs， the risk of privacy leakage， additional benefits， and other aspects； the factors affecting the choice of government strategies embodied regulatory costs and the improvement of credibility. To realize a win-win situation among doctors， patients， and the government， the three parties need to work together to ensure that patient privacy is not violated and find a balance between expanding the influence of medical education and protecting patient privacy.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the correlation between balance function and core muscle activation in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), compared to healthy individuals. Methods: A total of 24 AIS patients and 25 healthy controls were recruited. The limits of stability (LOS) test were conducted to assess balance function, while surface electromyography was used to measure the activity of core muscles, including the internal oblique, external oblique, and multifidus. Diaphragm thickness was measured using ultrasound during different postural tasks. Center of pressure (COP) displacement and trunk inclination distance were also recorded during the LOS test. Results: AIS patients showed significantly greater activation of superficial core muscles, such as the internal and external oblique muscles, compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Diaphragm activation was lower in AIS patients during balance tasks (p < 0.01). Although no significant difference was observed in COP displacement between the groups, trunk inclination was significantly greater in the AIS group during certain tasks (p < 0.05). Conclusion These findings suggest distinct postural control patterns in AIS patients, highlighting the importance of targeted interventions to improve balance and core muscle function in this population.

Objective To investigate the global burden of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) from 1990 to 2021 and predict the trends in the burden of VL from 2022 to 2035, so as to provide insights into global VL prevention and control. Methods The global age-standardized incidence, prevalence, mortality and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) rates of VL and their 95% uncertainty intervals (UI) were captured from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 (GBD 2021) data resources. The trends in the global burden of VL were evaluated with average annual percent change (AAPC) and 95% confidence interval (CI) from 1990 to 2021, and gender-, age-, country-, geographical area- and socio-demographic index (SDI)-stratified burdens of VL were analyzed. The trends in the global burden of VL were projected with a Bayesian age-period-cohort (BAPC) model from 2022 to 2035, and the associations of age-standardized incidence, prevalence, mortality, and DALYs rates of VL with SDI levels were examined with a smoothing spline model. Results The global age-standardized incidence [AAPC = -0.25%, 95% CI: (-0.25%, -0.24%)], prevalence [AAPC = -0.06%, 95% CI: (-0.06%, -0.06%)], mortality [AAPC = -0.25%, 95% CI: (-0.25%, -0.24%)] and DALYs rates of VL [AAPC = -2.38%, 95% CI: (-2.44%, -2.33%)] all appeared a tendency towards a decline from 1990 to 2021, and the highest age-standardized incidence [2.55/10⁵, 95% UI: (1.49/10⁵, 4.07/10⁵)], prevalence [0.64/10⁵, 95% UI: (0.37/10⁵, 1.02/10⁵)], mortality [0.51/10⁵, 95% UI: (0, 1.80/10⁵)] and DALYs rates of VL [33.81/10⁵, 95% UI: (0.06/10⁵, 124.09/10⁵)] were seen in tropical Latin America in 2021. The global age-standardized incidence and prevalence of VL were both higher among men [0.57/10⁵, 95% UI: (0.45/10⁵, 0.72/10⁵); 0.14/10⁵, 95% UI: (0.11/10⁵, 0.18/10⁵)] than among women [0.27/10⁵, 95% UI: (0.21/10⁵, 0.33/10⁵); 0.06/10⁵, 95% UI: (0.05/10⁵, 0.08/10⁵)], and the highest mortality of VL was found among children under 5 years of age [0.24/10⁵, 95% UI: (0.08/10⁵, 0.66/10⁵)]. The age-standardized incidence (r = -0.483, P < 0.001), prevalence (r = -0.483, P < 0.001), mortality (r = -0.511, P < 0.001) and DALYs rates of VL (r = -0.514, P < 0.001) correlated negatively with SDI levels from 1990 to 2021. In addition, the global burden of VL was projected with the BAPC model to appear a tendency towards a decline from 2022 to 2035, and the age-standardized incidence, prevalence, mortality and DALYs rates were projected to be reduced to 0.11/10⁵, 0.03/10⁵, 0.02/10⁵ and 1.44/10⁵ in 2035, respectively. Conclusions Although the global burden of VL appeared an overall tendency towards a decline from 1990 to 2021, the burden of VL showed a tendency towards a rise in Central Asia and western sub-Saharan African areas. The age-standardized incidence and prevalence rates of VL were relatively higher among men, and the age-standardized mortality of VL was relatively higher among children under 5 years of age. The global burden of VL was projected to continue to decline from 2022 to 2035.

ObjectiveTo understand the current situation of medical damage liability disputes involving breach of the duty to inform in China， analyze the factors influencing the types of medical staff’s breach of the duty to inform， and explore the notification problems of medical staff in clinical practice. On these foundations， suggestions were proposed to improve the performance of the duty to inform and reduce medical disputes. MethodsUsing public cases from the China Judgements Online as the data source， the relationship between risk points and types of breach of duty to inform was analyzed using the Chi-square test. Logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the influencing factors of the types of breach of the duty to inform， and qualitative research summarized the specific contents of breach of the duty to inform. ResultsThere were differences in the effects of factors， including whether the patient was hospitalized， whether surgery was performed， whether Intensive Care Unit （ICU） treatment was required， the level of the medical institution， and whether a consultation occurred， on the types of breach of the duty to inform （P<0.05）. Whether surgery was performed was an influencing factor for the types of breach of the duty to inform. Qualitative research showed that the contents of breach of duty to inform primarily involve risk， treatment plan， and deficiencies in disease notification. ConclusionStrengthening the performance of the medical staff’s duty to inform should mainly focus on the medical side， coordinating with multiple parties and taking measures to improve the performance of the duty to inform， to reduce unnecessary medical disputes.

This study aims to comprehensively analyze the material basis of toad visceral oil(hereafter referred to as toad oil), and explore the pharmacological effect of toad oil on atopic dermatitis(AD). Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-linear ion trap/orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry(UHPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap-MS) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS) were employed to comprehensively identify the chemical components in toad oil. The animal model of AD was prepared by the hapten stimulation method. The modeled animals were respectively administrated with positive drug(0.1% hydrocortisone butyrate cream) and low-and high-doses(1%, 10%) of toad oil by gavage. The effect of toad oil on AD was evaluated with the AD score, ear swelling rate, spleen index, and pathological section results as indicators. A total of 99 components were identified by UHPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap-MS, including 14 bufadienolides, 7 fatty acids, 6 alkaloids, 10 ketones, 18 amides, and other compounds. After methylation of toad oil samples, a total of 20 compounds were identified by GC-MS. Compared with the model group, the low-and high-dose toad oil groups showed declined AD score, ear swelling rate, and spleen index, alleviated skin lesions, and reduced infiltrating mast cells. This study comprehensively analyzes the chemical composition and clarifies the material basis of toad oil. Meanwhile, this study proves that toad oil has a good therapeutic effect on AD and is a reserve resource of traditional Chinese medicine for external use in the treatment of AD.

This study aims to evaluate the therapeutic effect of Alpiniae Oxyphyllae Fructus-Saposhnikoviae Radix(AOF-SR) in a diabetic kidney disease(DKD) mouse model, explore its potential mechanism in regulating the NOD-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3) inflammasome via phosphoinositide 3-kinase(PI3K)/protein kinase B(Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR) signaling pathway, and provide new theoretical support for traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) intervention in DKD. Using the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform(TCMSP), the active ingredients and potential targets of AOF-SR were screened and its molecular mechanisms were investigated through molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, and experimental validation. The db/db mice were randomly divided into four groups: model group, low-dose AOF-SR group, high-dose AOF-SR group, and canagliflozin group. The db/m mice served as normal group. After one week of acclimatization, the mice underwent drug intervention. Starting from one week after treatment, body weight, blood glucose levels, and 24-hour urinary protein(24hUP) were measured every two weeks. After 13 weeks of administration, tissue collection and indicator detection were performed. Blood glucose, 24hUP, urinary microalbumin(mAlb), serum creatinine(Scr), and blood urea nitrogen(BUN) levels were determined. Pathological changes in kidney tissue were observed using hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was used to detect the levels of serum IL-1β, IL-18, and caspase-1, while RT-qPCR was employed to measure the mRNA expression levels of IL-1β, IL-18, caspase-1, and NLRP3. Western blot was used to assess the protein expression levels of NLRP3, PI3K, p-Akt, Akt, p-mTOR, and mTOR. Network pharmacology analysis indicated that wogonin, pinocembrin, hancinol, and kaempferol were the core compounds for drug treatment of the disease. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations showed that core compounds, particularly wogonin, could specifically bind to PIK3R1, thereby regulating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. The experimental results indicated that both low and high doses of AOF-SR and canagliflozin significantly reduced blood glucose, 24hUP, mAlb, Scr, and BUN levels in db/db mice, while improving kidney pathological damage and inflammatory cell infiltration. Moreover, the treatments reduced the mRNA expression levels of caspase-1, IL-1β, and IL-18 in the kidneys of db/db mice, as well as the secretion of these factors in the serum. The drugs also inhibited the mRNA and protein expression levels of NLRP3 in the kidneys of db/db mice and decreased the protein levels of PI3K, p-Akt/Akt, and p-mTOR/mTOR. In conclusion, AOF-SR may improve kidney inflammation in DKD mice by regulating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway and inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation.
