Neonatal diabetes mellitus （NDM） is a rare monogenic disorder primarily caused by insufficient insulin secretion resulting from mutations in the KCNJ11 and ABCC8 genes. Sulfonylureas， represented by glibenclamide， have become the standard therapy for this type of NDM by precisely closing the mutated ATP-sensitive potassium channels in pancreatic β cells， thereby restoring insulin secretion. Clinical studies confirm that sulfonylureas enable over 90% of patients to successfully transition from insulin to oral treatment， achieving long-term stable glycemic control and improving neurological outcomes to a certain extent. In terms of safety， severe hypoglycemia induced by sulfonylureas is relatively rare and gastrointestinal reactions are mild； moreover， sulfonylureas show good long-term tolerability， and have no adverse effects on child growth and development. In the future， by further refining the full-chain management pathway of “rapid genetic diagnosis-early intervention-specialized dosage forms-long-term follow-up”， the clinical application of sulfonylureas is expected to provide NDM patients with an optimized treatment regimen and maximize their health benefits.

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.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of subanesthetic dose of esketamine on postoperative anxiety and recovery in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. METHODS A total of 200 patients scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy at Suzhou Ninth Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University from January 2023 to December 2024 were randomly assigned to control group （n＝100） and observation group （n＝100）. One minute before the initiation of anesthesia， patients in the control group received intravenous injections of Propofol emulsion injection， Sufentanil citrate injection， and Succinylcholine chloride injection. On this basis， patients in the observation group received an intravenous injection of Esketamine hydrochloride injection. The anxiety status of patients in both groups was compared， along with their general intraoperative conditions （including sufentanil dosage， duration of pneumoperitoneum， operative time， anesthesia time， and extubation time）， postoperative recovery， incidence of adverse reactions， and the need for dezocine rescue analgesia. Heart rate and mean arterial pressure， entropy index （state entropy and response entropy）， inflammatory marker levels [interleukin-6 （IL-6） and C-reactive protein （CRP）]， numerical rating scale （NRS） for pain intensity were compared between the two groups at different time points. RESULTS No significant differences were found between the two groups in pneumoperitoneum duration， operative time， anesthesia time，extubation time， incidence of postoperative dry mouth， entropy index or length of stay in the post-anesthesia care unit （P＞0.05）. Compared with the control group， the observation group showed significantly lower postoperative STAI-S scores， reduced intraoperative sufentanil consumption， decreased incidence of postoperative nausea， vomiting， and shivering， the need for dezocine rescue analgesia， as well as lower plasma IL-6 and CRP levels at 24 h after surgery， and NRS （P＜0.05）. The heart rate and mean arterial pressure of patients in the observation group at the start of surgery， end of surgery， and during extubation were all significantly higher than those in the control group （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Subanesthetic dose of esketamine can effectively alleviate postoperative anxiety， reduce intraoperative opioid consumption， suppress postoperative inflammatory response， relieve postoperative pain， and promote recovery in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Based on the theoretical framework of "grease-turbidity-heat toxin"， this paper elucidates the patholo-gical evolution pattern underlying the alternation between active and remission phases of inflammatory bowel disease （IBD）. It is proposed that the active phase of IBD represents a progressive and explosive process characterized by internal accumulation of grease turbidity， constraint transforming into heat， and exuberant heat generating toxin. During the remission phase， the pathogenic process manifests as subsidence of heat toxin， depletion of qi and yin， latent retention of residual turbidity， and a state of coexistence between deficiency of healthy qi and lingering pathogenic factors. Accordingly， a staged therapeutic strategy with dynamic intervention and targeted modulation has been established. During the active phase， treatment follows the sequential principle of unblocking， clearing， and resolving pathogenic factors. In the early stage， the therapeutic approach focuses on regulating qi movement， fortifying the spleen， and resolving turbidity， using Tongxie Essential Formula （痛泻要方） and Shenling Baizhu Powder （参苓白术散） to regulate qi and fortify spleen. In the middle stage， the strategy emphasizes clearing heat， eliminating dampness， and dispersing pathogenic accumulation through downward and outward pathways， and Gegen Qinlian Decoction （葛根芩连汤） combined with Banxia Xiexin Decoction （半夏泻心汤） is used to clear and resolve damp-heat. In the late stage， treatment aims to resolve toxin， restrain sore， cool blood， and stabilize collaterals， using Baitouweng Decoction （白头翁汤）， Shaoyao Decoction （芍药汤）， and Xijiao Dihuang Decoction （犀角地黄汤） to eliminate toxins and cool blood. During the remission phase， the principle of reinforcing， consolidating， and penetrating is adopted to restore internal balance and clear the source， using Sishen Pills （四神丸） and Sijunzi Decoction （四君子汤） to reinforce healthy qi and venting pathogens.

Based on the theory of Zi Wu Liu Zhu （子午流注， the ebb and flow of midnight and midday） and the clinical characteristics of diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome （IBS-D） that its symptoms mainly occur during chou （丑） period （01：00—03：00）， mao （卯） period （5：00—7：00）， and si （巳） period （9：00—11：00）， this paper proposes a temporal pathogenesis chain of "liver constraint during chou period， intestinal stagnation during mao period， and spleen deficiency during si period". Within this chain， liver constraint serves as the initiating factor， and intestinal stagnation manifests as the branch， while spleen deficiency constitutes the root of the disease. Accordingly， a chronotherapeutic principle of "soothing the liver， regulating the intestines， and fortifying the spleen" is proposed， establishing a corresponding time-based syndrome differentiation and treatment system. During chou period， the treatment should focus on soothing the liver to relieve constraint and calming the mind to tranquilize the spirit， thereby blocking the mechanism of liver constraint overacting on the spleen. During mao period， the focus is regulating qi to resolve dampness and harmonizing the intestine to alleviate the branch symptoms of morning abdominal pain and diarrhea. During si period， the suggested method is fortifying the spleen and supplementing qi to drain dampness and stop diarrhea， thereby restoring the pivot of spleen-stomach transportation and transformation. These methods are complemented by strategies to optimize medication compliance， thereby providing a new chronotherapeutic approach for clinical diagnosis and treatment of IBS-D.

ObjectiveTo investigate the association between insulin resistance （IR） and cardiovascular metabolic indicators， including blood pressure， blood lipids， and serum uric acid， in a middle-aged population. MethodsBased on the baseline survey of the Hong Sifang cohort of China National Salt Industry Group， a total of 575 participants were included. According to the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance， the participants were divided into an IR group （n=116） and a non-IR group （n=459）. Differences between the two groups were compared using the t-test and chi-square test. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the associations between IR and abnormalities in metabolic indicators. ResultsA total of 575 participants were included， including 390 men and 185 women， with a mean age of （48.58 ± 5.14） years and a mean body mass index （BMI） of （24.16 ± 2.97） kg/m². Blood pressure， serum uric acid， and blood lipid levels were significantly higher in the IR group than in the non-IR group （P<0.001）. After adjusting for potential confounders including age， sex， and BMI， IR was independently associated with hypertension， dyslipidemia， and hyperuricemia， with odds ratios （OR） and 95% confidence intervals （CI） of 2.57 （1.61-4.09）， 3.81 （2.36-6.17）， and 2.68 （1.53-4.71）， respectively （all P<0.001）. ConclusionInsulin resistance is significantly associated with multiple cardiovascular metabolic risk factors in the middle-aged population. Monitoring IR may contribute to the early prevention and control of cardiovascular diseases.

Intraflagellar transport (IFT) is a core mechanism for ciliary assembly, length maintenance, ciliary proteome homeostasis and signal transduction. Most proteins required for ciliary structure and function are synthesized in the cytoplasm. Because the ciliary compartment is separated from the cell body by the selective barrier of the transition zone, these proteins cannot freely equilibrate between the cytoplasm and the cilium. Consequently, axonemal components, membrane proteins and signaling molecules must be actively imported into cilia, retrieved from the ciliary compartment, and recycled or degraded through highly ordered transport and sorting pathways. The IFT system is mainly composed of the IFT-A complex, IFT-B complex, kinesin-2, dynein-2 and the Bardet-Biedl syndrome protein complex (BBSome). Through coordinated anterograde and retrograde transport, these modules mediate the dynamic trafficking of different classes of ciliary cargoes. Anterograde transport delivers structural and membrane-associated components from the ciliary base toward the ciliary tip, whereas retrograde transport retrieves IFT components and selected cargoes back toward the ciliary base and cytoplasm. In this way, IFT not only supports the construction of the axoneme but also contributes to the maintenance of ciliary composition and the regulation of ciliary signaling activity. In recent years, advances in cryo-electron microscopy, in situ cryo-electron tomography and single-molecule imaging have greatly improved our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying IFT. These approaches have revealed how IFT trains are assembled at the ciliary base, how they move along axonemal microtubule tracks, how they undergo directional switching at the ciliary tip, and how cargoes are retrieved and recycled. Among the IFT modules, IFT-B acts as the major scaffold of IFT trains. It participates in cargo loading, motor coupling and initiation of anterograde transport. IFT-A is involved in retrograde transport, membrane protein adaptor function and train remodeling. The BBSome, through reversible association with the IFT system, regulates ciliary membrane protein sorting, signaling receptor clearance and renewal of the ciliary proteome. These functions indicate that the IFT machinery is not a simple linear transport pathway, but rather a dynamic and reconfigurable transport system. The conversion of transport direction is a key step in the IFT cycle. This process is closely associated with disassembly of anterograde trains, dissociation of kinesin-2, activation of dynein-2 at the ciliary tip and reassembly of retrograde trains. In terms of pathogenic mechanisms, IFT abnormalities may cause ciliopathies through four major pathways: defects in ciliary assembly and structure, abnormal localization of ciliary cargoes, dysregulation of signaling pathways, and impaired cargo unloading and retrieval. These defects can affect multiple organ systems, including the retina, kidney, skeleton, respiratory tract, reproductive system, and neuro-metabolic system. Current therapeutic strategies are still mainly based on symptomatic support and maintenance of organ function. Overall, IFT is a dynamic transport system jointly regulated by axonemal structure, motor activity, cargo selection and cellular signaling. It links ciliary architecture with protein turnover and signaling regulation, thereby playing a fundamental role in both ciliary homeostasis and ciliopathy pathogenesis. Further elucidation of IFT regulatory mechanisms and their relationships with disease phenotypes will help promote mechanism-based classification, genetic diagnosis and precision intervention for ciliopathies.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism by which aerobic exercise improves hippocampal neuroinflammation and learning and memory ability in brain-aged mice via interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7). MethodsA total of 60 male specific pathogen-free (SPF) C57BL/6J mice were enrolled in the experiment, including 30 young mice (2 months old) and 30 naturally aging mice (12 months old). Young mice and old mice were respectively randomly assigned to four groups: young control group (group C, n=15), young exercise group (group CE, n=15), and aging control group (group A, n=15), aging exercise group (group AE, n=15). Mice in the exercise groups received an 8-week continuous treadmill aerobic exercise intervention, while control mice were kept under routine feeding without exercise intervention. After the intervention, Barnes maze and Y-maze behavioral tests were performed to comprehensively assess the learning and memory abilities of each group of mice. Transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the ultrastructural morphological changes of hippocampal synapses. Western blot assay was utilized to detect the protein expression and phosphorylation levels of Janus kinase 1 (JAK1), signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1), as well as the expression of postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD95). Immunofluorescence staining was applied to quantify the fluorescence intensity of ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (IBA1) in hippocampal tissues. The expression levels of inflammatory cytokines including interferon-α (IFN-α), interferon-β (IFN-β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was performed to detect the mRNA expression level of IRF7, and DNA methylation assay was further conducted to analyze the methylation level of the IRF7 gene in mouse hippocampus. ResultsAt the molecular level, compared with group C, the protein expression levels of JAK1, STAT1, p‑JAK1, and p‑STAT1 in group A were significantly increased (P<0.05), whereas PSD95 expression was decreased (P<0.05). ELISA assays showed that the levels of IFN‑α, IFN‑β, TNF‑α, and IL‑1β were significantly elevated in group A (P<0.001). RT‑PCR analysis revealed that, compared with group C, the mRNA expression of IRF7 in group A was markedly upregulated (P<0.000 1), while the CpG methylation rate of the IRF7 promoter was significantly reduced (P<0.05). In contrast, all the above parameters in the AE group showed improvements relative to those in group A. Immunofluorescence staining indicated positive IBA1 expression in the brain tissues of group A mice. Exercise intervention reversed these abnormal changes. ConclusionIn aged mice, aerobic exercise induces hypermethylation of the IRF7 promoter region, suppresses IRF7 expression and activation of the downstream IFN‑I/JAK1/STAT1 signaling pathway, accompanied by alleviated neuroinflammation, improved learning and memory, and ameliorated brain aging-related phenotypes.
