ObjectiveTo investigate the present situation of input, output, outcome and impact of all registered community-based rehabilitation stations in Inner Mongolia in China, and analyze how the input predict the output, outcome and impact. MethodsFrom March 1st to April 30th, 2025, a questionnaire survey was conducted on all registered community-based rehabilitation stations in Inner Mongolia, covering four dimensions: input, output, outcome and impact. A total of 1 365 questionnaires were distributed. The input included four items: laws and policies, human resources, equipment and facilities, and rehabilitation information management. The output included two items: technical paths and benefits/effectiveness. The outcome included three items: coverage rates, rehabilitation interventions and functional results. The impact included two items: health and sustainability. Each item contained several questions, all of which were described in a positive way. Each question was scored from one to five. A lower score indicated that the situation of the community-based rehabilitation station was more in line with the content described in the question. Regression analysis was performed using the total score of each item of input dimension as independent variables, and the total scores of the output, outcome and impact dimensions as dependent variables. ResultsA total of 1 262 valid questionnaires were collected. The mean values of input, output, outcome and impact of community-based rehabilitation stations were 1.827 to 1.904, with coefficient of variation of 45.892% to 49.239%. The regression analysis showed that, rehabilitation information management, human resources, and laws and policies significantly predicted the output dimension (R² = 0.910, P < 0.001). Meanwhile, all four items in the input dimension predicted both the outcome (R² = 0.850, P < 0.001) and impact dimensions (R² = 0.833, P < 0.001). ConclusionInput, output, outcome and impact of the community-based rehabilitation stations in Inner Mongolia were generally in line with the content of the questions, although some imbalances were observed. Additionally, the input of community-based rehabilitation stations could significantly predict their output, outcome and impact.

Colorectal cancer （CRC） is one of the most common cancers， with its incidence ranking high among cancers. It stands as the second leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. In the early stages， CRC lacks specific symptoms， and most patients are diagnosed at advanced stages， making it a major research focus in the field of gastrointestinal tumors. Currently， clinical CRC treatments face several common challenges， including high surgical risks， frequent metastasis and recurrence， drug resistance， and significant side effects from chemotherapy and radiation therapy. With the development and application of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， it has been found that TCM and its active ingredients can effectively inhibit CRC cell proliferation， invasion， migration， and angiogenesis， and promote apoptosis and autophagy， thereby slowing the progression of CRC. This has become a key focus of CRC treatment research. Salvia Miltiorrhiza has multiple pharmacological effects， including activating blood circulation to dispel blood stasis， unlocking meridians to relieve pain， clearing heat to calm irritability， and cooling blood to reduce abscesses. It contains a variety of chemical components， including diterpenoids， phenolic acids， flavonoids， polysaccharides， nitrogen-containing compounds， steroids， and lactone compounds. This review summarized the molecular mechanisms of Salvia miltiorrhiza and its active ingredients in the treatment of CRC. It is found that these ingredients exert anti-CRC effects through various molecular mechanisms， including cell cycle arrest， promotion of apoptosis， inhibition of cell invasion and migration， induction of autophagy， suppression of tumor angiogenesis， and remodeling of the tumor microenvironment. The review aims to provide new insights for the drug development and clinical application of Salvia miltiorrhiza in CRC treatment.

Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has great potential to mediate mitochondrial dysfunction in the DKD prevention and treatment. This article deeply explores the intrinsic relationship between various forms of mitochondrial dysfunction and DKD， and summarizes the current research status of various Chinese herbal compounds and Chinese herbal formulas in targeting mitochondrial dysfunction for the DKD prevention and treatment. This article aims to provide new targets and strategies for the DKD prevention and treatment， and the research and development of TCM.

Objective To apply an artificial intelligence (AI) -based pelvic floor optimization training system using human motion analysis technique in patients undergoing pelvic floor rehabilitation, so as to assist clinicians in providing guidance, improving clinical efficiency, and enhancing the efficacy of patients' independent training. Methods A total of 60 patients with overactive bladder (OAB) complicated with urgent urinary incontinence (UUI) treated in our hospital during Sep. 2024 and Dec. 2025 were enrolled and randomly divided into the routine guidance group (n=30) and AI guidance group (n=30). The routine guidance group received conventional pelvic floor optimization training under clinicians' instruction, while the AI guidance group underwent training with the AI-based pelvic floor optimization system using human motion analysis. After 6 weeks of intervention, outcomes were compared between the two groups, including the international consultation on incontinence questionnaire-short form (ICI-Q-SF), incontinence quality of life scale (I-QoL), overactive bladder symptom score (OABSS), patient's perception of bladder condition (PPBC) score, pelvic floor muscle function (myoelectric values in the preresting, post-resting, type Ⅰ muscle, type Ⅱ muscle, and endurance test phases), urine output, average flow rate (Qavg), and maximum flow rate (Qmax). Results After 6 weeks of treatment, the ICI-Q-SF, I-QoL, OABSS, PPBC score, type I muscle myoelectric value, Qavg and Qmax were significantly improved in both groups compared with baseline (P＜0.05). After 6 weeks of intervention, the I-QoL score was significantly higher in the AI guidance group than in the routine guidance group[81.82 (79.55, 84.38) vs.77.84 (75.00, 79.55) ], with significant difference (P＜0.05). Compared with the routine guidance group, the AI guidance group showed significant improvements in myoelectric values in the pre-resting, post-resting, type I muscle and endurance testing phases (P＜0.05). Conclusion The AI-based pelvic floor optimization training system can effectively assist clinicians in guiding patients to complete pelvic floor optimization training, improve rehabilitation efficiency and efficacy of independent exercise, and reduce dependence on specialized clinicians, which exhibits favorable safety.

ObjectiveTo investigate the possible mechanism of action of Xibining Formula （膝痹宁） for cartilage damage in knee osteoarthritis （KOA） through the cyclic guanosine-adenosine monophosphate synthase （cGAS）- stimulator of interferon genes （STING） signaling pathway. MethodsFifty C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into five groups （10 per group）， sham operation group， KOA model group， low-dose Xibining Formula group， high-dose Xibining Formula group， and high-dose Xibining Formula + agonist group. The KOA models were constructed using the destabilization of the medial meniscus （DMM） method in all groups but the sham surgery group. Two weeks after surgery， the low- and high-dose Xibining Formula groups were administered Xibining Formula at doses of 3.58 g/（kg·d） and 14.32 g/（kg·d） respectively via gavage. The high-dose Xibining Formula + agonist group received 14.32 g/（kg·d） of Xibining Formula via gavage followed by an intraperitoneal injection of Vadimezan （DMXAA） at 25 mg/kg. The sham surgery group and the KOA model group mice were given an equivalent volume of normal saline at 5 ml/（kg·d） via gavage， once daily for four consecutive weeks. Serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha （TNF-α）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， and interleukin-6 （IL-6） were measured by ELISA； pathological changes in cartilage tissue were observed using hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining and Safranin O-Fast Green staining. Pathological changes were scored according to the Mankin scoring system； the levels of cartilage tissue matrix regulation-related indicators such as matrix metalloproteinase 3 （MMP3）， matrix metalloproteinase 13 （MMP13）， a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 5 （ADAMTS）， type-Ⅱ collagen （CⅡ） and aggregated proteoglycan （Aggrecan）， and also cGAS-STING pathway-related protein and mRNA expression levels were detected by Western blot and qPCR methods. ResultsCompared with the sham surgery group， the KOA model group showed severe cartilage edge destruction， significantly increased Mankin scores， significantly decreased protein and mRNA expression levels of COLⅡ and Aggrecan， and significantly increased protein and mRNA expression levels of cGAS， STING， MMP3， MMP13， and ADAMTS5 （P＜0.01）. Compared with the control group， serum level of IL-6， IL-1β， TNF-α in all the intervented groups decreased （P＜0.01）， while compared with high-dose Xibining Formula group， level of IL-6， IL-1β， and TNF-α in low-dose Xibining Formula group and high-dose Xibining Formula + agonist group increased （P＜0.01）. Compared with the KOA model group， all the intervention groups exhibited alleviated cartilage pathological changes， signi-ficantly reduced Mankin scores， significantly increased protein and mRNA expression levels of COLⅡ and Aggrecan， and significantly decreased protein and mRNA expression levels of cGAS， STING， MMP3， MMP13， and ADAMTS5 （P＜0.01）. Compared with high-dose Xibining Formula group， high-dose Xibining Formula + agonist group showed cartilage edge destruction， significantly increased Mankin scores， significantly decreased protein and mRNA expression levels of COLⅡ and Aggrecan， and increased protein and mRNA expression levels of cGAS， STING， MMP3， MMP13， and ADAMTS5 （P＜0.01）. ConclusionXibining Formula may improve KOA cartilage damage by inhibiting the cGAS-STING signaling pathway， decreasing matrix degradation-related proteins， and elevating matrix composition-related proteins.

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neurotoxicity (CIPN) is a severe dose-limiting adverse event of chemotherapy. Presently, the mechanism underlying the induction of CIPN remains unclear, and no effective treatment is available. In this study, through metabolomics analyses, we found that nab-paclitaxel therapy markedly increased serum serotonin [5-hydroxtryptamine (5-HT)] levels in both cancer patients and mice compared to the respective controls. Furthermore, nab-paclitaxel-treated enterochromaffin (EC) cells showed increased 5-HT synthesis, and serotonin-treated Schwann cells showed damage, as indicated by the activation of CREB3L3/MMP3/FAS signaling. Venlafaxine, an inhibitor of serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake, was found to protect against nerve injury by suppressing the activation of CREB3L3/MMP3/FAS signaling in Schwann cells. Remarkably, venlafaxine was found to significantly alleviate nab-paclitaxel-induced CIPN in patients without affecting the clinical efficacy of chemotherapy. In summary, our study reveals that EC cell-derived 5-HT plays a critical role in nab-paclitaxel-related neurotoxic lesions, and venlafaxine co-administration represents a novel approach to treating chronic cumulative neurotoxicity commonly reported in nab-paclitaxel-based chemotherapy.
