The success of implementation research is closely tied to the institution's pre-implementation readiness. This study aims to explore the organizational readiness for change (ORC) and its influencing factors on primary healthcare settings in the implementation of the "Shared Medical Appointment for Diabetes (SMART) in China: design of an optimization trial" and to enhance ORC and provide insights to support the effective implementation of the program. Qualitative interviews and quantitative surveys were conducted to evaluate the ORC level and its influencing factors in 12 institutions implementing the SMART program. The Scale for Assessing the Institution's Readiness to Implement Evidence-Based Practices was utilized to measure ORC levels. Qualitative interviews were conducted among change implementers to gather information regarding the status of influencing factors. Thematic analysis was applied to extract factors from the interview data, and an assessment questionnaire was developed to measure the perceived impact of these factors. A fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) method was employed to identify the influencing factors of ORC and pathways leading to high-level ORC. Seventy implementers from 12 institutions, encompassing administrators, clinicians, and health managers, participated in the interviews and surveys. The median and interquartile of the ORC scores were 105.20 (101.23, 107.33). The fsQCA indicated that a clear understanding of specific tasks and responsibilities, the active engagement of key participants, sufficient preliminary preparation, and the use of audits and feedback mechanisms were critical pathways to a high-level ORC. Conversely, institutions lacking key participants, preliminary preparation, or marginal influence demonstrated a low-level ORC. Before implementing innovation, Coherence and Cognitive Participation were identified as critical factors in influencing ORC. Strong leadership from key participants played pivotal role in enhancing readiness for change and was essential for improving implementation fidelity and overall program success.

This study aimed to localize the workplace readiness questionnaire (WRQ) and validate its applicability for assessing readiness for implementation of evidence-based practices (EBP) in primary care settings in China. The localization of the instrument will provide a practical instrument for assessing organizational readiness for change (ORC). The WRQ was translateed into Chinese version using the modified Brislin translation model, and its cross-cultural validity, content validity, and generalizability were evaluated by the Delphi method, and the expert feedback was evaluated using the item-level content validity index (I-CVI), scale-level content validity index (S-CVI), and corrected Kappa value. The index weights were evaluated by the analytic hierarchical process (AHP). The target users of the scale were invited to quantitatively evaluate its item importance score (IIS), and the surface validity was evaluated by combining the qualitative feedback from their cognitive interviews. To clarify the purpose of the scale, we revised its name to the Organizational Readiness of Implementing Evidence-Based Practices (ORIEBP) Scale. The ORIEBP scale contained five dimensions, which were Change Context, Change Valence, Information Evaluation, Change Commitment, Change Efficiency, and 32 items. After two rounds of the Delphi method to refine the construction of three dimensions and expressions of 11 items, the I-CVI were from 0.73 to 1.00, the Kappa value were from 0.70 to 1.00, and the S-CVI was over 0.92. All evaluation matrices of the hierarchical analysis method met the requirement of consistency ratio (CR < 0.1), and the weights of five dimensions were 0.2083, 0.2022, 0.1907, 0.2193, and 0.1795, in sequence. Nine out of eleven experts identified that items were applicable to other readiness assessment scenarios. The IIS scores for the five dimensions and 32 items were ranged from 2.93 to 3.54, and 2.71 to 3.42, presenting good face validity. The cognitive interview results showed that professional expressions were complex to understand. This study validated the ORIEBP scale and has good content validity and generalizability. The scale can be further improved by expanding its scope of use and validating its structure validity and reliability in different settings.

ObjectiveThis study aims to explore the potential mechanism of the Xiezhuo Jiedu formula in regulating pyroptosis for the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC) using bioinformatics and in vivo animal experiments. MethodsDifferentially expressed genes (DEGs) in colon tissues of UC patients were retrieved from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Pyroptosis-related genes were obtained from the GEO and GeneCards databases. The intersection of these datasets yielded pyroptosis-related DEGs (Pyro-DEGs). Pyro-DEGs were subjected to Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis using the Metascape database. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed using the STRING database. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) prediction model and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis were conducted to identify core Pyro-DEGs with diagnostic and therapeutic potential. Immune infiltration analysis of the UC datasets was performed using the deconvolution method (CIBERSORT), along with correlation analysis with core Pyro-DEGs. Sixty male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into a control group, a model group, high-, medium-, and low-dose groups of Xiezhuo Jiedu formula (26.64, 13.32, 6.66 g·kg-1), and a mesalazine group (0.27 g·kg-1), with 10 rats in each group. UC was established by intrarectal administration of 3,5-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS) dissolved in ethanol. The control and model groups were given distilled water by gavage, while the treatment groups were administered the corresponding drugs for 7 consecutive days. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the colon histopathology. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the levels of inflammatory factors such as interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-10, IL-18, and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western blot were applied to detect the expression of Caspase-1, gap junction alpha-1 protein (GJA1), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG), and S100 calcium-binding protein A8 (S100A8). Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) was utilized to measure mRNA expression of Caspase-1, GJA1, PPARG, and S100A8. Western blot was performed to assess protein expression levels of Caspase-1, GJA1, PPARG, and S100A8. ResultsGEO datasets GSE87466 and GSE87473 yielded 64 Pyro-DEGs. KEGG analysis indicated that these genes were enriched in the NOD-like receptor signaling pathway, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) signaling pathway, and hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) signaling pathway. Four core Pyro-DEGs (Caspase-1, GJA1, PPARG, and S100A8) were identified. Immune infiltration analysis showed that expression of these genes was positively correlated with mast cells, neutrophils, M0 macrophages, M1 macrophages, and dendritic cells. Animal experimental results indicated that compared with the control group, the model group had significantly increased levels of IL-1β and IL-18, significantly decreased levels of IL-10 and TGF-β. The model group showed enhanced Caspase-1, GJA1, and S100A8 staining, and significantly increased mRNA and protein expression of Caspase-1, GJA1, and S100A8 (P<0.01). In contrast, the expression of PPARG was reduced in the model group (P<0.01). After treatment, all dosage groups showed varying degrees of improvement (P<0.05, P<0.01), with the high-dose group showing the most significant improvement (P<0.01). ConclusionCaspase-1, GJA1, PPARG, and S100A8 are core Pyro-DEGs closely associated with the pathogenesis of UC. These genes may collaborate with immune cells such as mast cells, neutrophils, and M0 macrophages to mediate disease development. The Xiezhuo Jiedu formula may regulate the expression of core Pyro-DEGs through the NOD-like receptor, TNF, and HIF-1 core signaling pathways, thereby modulating immune homeostasis in UC rats and effectively alleviating UC.

Objective To explore the correction of beam trajectories in the presence of fringe fields in magnetic resonance imaging-guided proton therapy and dose changes in the body before and after correction.Methods The open-source treatment planning software matRad was used to design plans for brain tumor,liver tumor,and prostate cancer cases,and simulation studies were conducted in the Monte Carlo simulation toolkit TOPAS to calculate proton dose distribution.A proton beam trajectory correction model suitable for three-dimensional magnetic fields was established,and a beam trajectory correction algorithm was developed.The deflection of the proton Bragg peak in the presence of fringe fields was analyzed.Furthermore,3 treatment plans were simulated and dose correction was carried out when the fringe field existed.Gamma analysis method is used to evaluate the correction effect;and the dose changes in the target area and organs-at-risk after correction were quantitatively analyzed.Results The perturbation of the magnetic field would cause lateral deflection of the proton beam trajectory,and the presence of fringe fields would significantly increase this effect,which increased with the increasing of beam energy.When the fringe field existed,the treatment plans for brain tumor,liver tumor,and prostate cancer were corrected.Under the 3%/3 mm criterion,the gamma passing rates for target area were 94.844%,92.054%,and 97.863%,respectively,and after correction,the total dose in the body was increased by 2.8%,2.5%,and 1.5%,respectively.The increased dose was mainly contributed by incident protons.Conclusion In magnetic resonance imaging-guided proton therapy,the effects of fringe fields should be considered.The increase in incident proton beam energy after correction will lead to an increase in the total dose in the body.Since the beam trajectory still has curvature,the dose changes differently in different organs-at-risk.
