Based on the theory of diseased collaterals and the progression pattern of diabetic kidney disease （DKD）， this paper proposes a staged treatment system based on the "three states of kidney collaterals" including collateral distention， collateral bi （痹） and collateral accumulation. In the collateral distention stage， the primary pathogenesis is heat damaging the kidney collaterals and collateral vessel dilation， corresponding to the early state of DKD characterized by hyperfiltration and microalbuminuria； the clearing method is suggested， and Shenling Jiangtang Formula （参苓降糖方） can be used to promote the remission of proteinuria by ameliorating insulin resistance and regulating intestinal microecology. In the collateral bi stage， the core pathogenesis lies in the binding of phlegm and stasis， and the formation of concretions and conglomerations in the kidney collaterals， corresponding to massive proteinuria and the decline of renal function， for which the unblocking method should be taken， using Jinchan Yishen Tongluo Formula （金蝉益肾通络方） and Qingre Xiaozheng Formula （清热消癥方） to alleviate renal pathological damage by regulating the autophagy-lysosome pathway and repairing mitochondrial energy metabolism. The collateral accumulation stage is characterized by the internal retention of turbid toxins and accumulations of concretions in the kidney collaterals， corresponding to renal fibrosis and end-stage renal disease （ESRD）； the dispersion method is suggested， and Yiqi Tongluo Xiezhuo Formula （益气通络泄浊方） and Shenyan Fangshuai Fluid （肾炎防衰液） can be used to inhibit extracellular matrix accumulation and delay the progressive loss of renal function. Collateral deficiency runs through the entire course of the disease and is closely related to cellular senescence and the imbalance of the ubiquitin-proteasome/autophagy system. The concept of the "three states of kidney collaterals" integrates the evolution of traditional Chinese medicine pathogenesis with modern pathological staging， forming a whole-course intervention system of "staging-syndrome differentiation-target-formula"， thereby providing novel insights for prevention and treatment of DKD using integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine.

Objective To investigate the incidence of intraoperative hypothermia(IH)and rewarming efficacy in elderly patients with different traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)constitutions undergoing general anesthesia.Methods A total of 500 elderly patients undergoing general anesthesia at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine from June 2022 to November 2022 were enrolled.The patients were divided into IH group and non-IH group depending on the occurrence of IH.Baseline data of the patients were collected,and univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors for IH.A risk prediction model was constructed after value-assignment of influencing factors and its diagnostic efficiency was assessed by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.External validation of the model was conducted in 50 elderly patients undergoing general anesthesia at the same period.From December 2022 to February 2023,80 elderly patients undergoing general anesthesia and complicated with IH were randomized into a control group(routine measures for keeping warm)and an observation group(keeping warm with forced-air-warming blanket)to compare the rewarming efficacy.Results(1)Among 500 elderly patients undergoing general anesthesia,180 cases developed IH,with an incidence of 36.0%.(2)Except for age,sex,type of surgery,American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA)classification,type of anesthesia,and total fluid output volume,statistically significant differences were presented in body mass index(BMI),TCM constitution type,surgical complexity grading,preoperative core body temperature,operating room temperature,rewarming strategy,surgical duration,anesthesia duration,total fluid intake volume,intraoperative irrigation volume,and intraoperative blood transfusion between the two groups(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).(3)Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified BMI,TCM constitution type,surgical complexity grading,preoperative core body temperature,operating room temperature,rewarming strategy,anesthesia duration,total fluid intake volume,and intraoperative irrigation volume as independent influencing factors for the occurrence of IH in elderly patients undergoing general anesthesia.ROC curve analysis demonstrated that the area under the curve(AUC)of the constructed risk prediction model was 0.816,with a sensitivity of 74.40%and a specificity of 77.50%.(4)In an external validation cohort of 50 elderly patients undergoing general anesthesia(19 IH cases versus 31 non-IH cases),the constructed risk prediction model exhibited a sensitivity of 73.68%and a specificity of 77.42%.(5)The observation group exhibited lower tympanic temperature upon post-anesthesia care unit(PACU)admission,shorter rewarming time and PACU stay duration,faster rewarming rate,and lower incidence of shivering than the control group,the differences being statistically significant(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Conclusion IH is common in elderly patients undergoing general anesthesia,particularly in those under the conditions of low BMI,qi/yang/blood deficiency constitutions,major surgery,low preoperative core body temperature,low operating room temperature,passive rewarming,prolonged anesthesia,high fluid intake volume,and high and intraoperative irrigation volume.The constructed risk prediction model demonstrates favorable diagnostic performance.Proactive use of forced-air-warming blankets effectively improves rewarming outcomes in elderly patients undergoing general anesthesia and complicated with IH.

Cardiotoxicity is a critical issue in drug development that poses serious health risks,including potentially fatal arrhythmias.The human ether-à-go-go related gene(hERG)potassium channel,as one of the pri-mary targets of cardiotoxicity,has garnered widespread attention.Traditional cardiotoxicity testing methods are expensive and time-consuming,making computational virtual screening a suitable alter-native.In this study,we employed machine learning techniques utilizing molecular fingerprints and descriptors to predict the cardiotoxicity of compounds,with the aim of improving prediction accuracy and efficiency.We used four types of molecular fingerprints and descriptors combined with machine learning and deep learning algorithms,including Gaussian naive Bayes(NB),random forest(RF),support vector machine(SVM),K-nearest neighbors(KNN),eXtreme gradient boosting(XGBoost),and Trans-former models,to build predictive models.Our models demonstrated advanced predictive performance.The best machine learning model,XGBoost Morgan,achieved an accuracy(ACC)value of 0.84,and the deep learning model,Transformer_Morgan,achieved the best ACC value of 0.85,showing a high ability to distinguish between toxic and non-toxic compounds.On an external independent validation set,it achieved the best area under the curve(AUC)value of 0.93,surpassing ADMETlab3.0,Cardpred,and CardioDPi.In addition,we explored the integration of molecular descriptors and fingerprints to enhance model performance and found that ensemble methods,such as voting and stacking,provided slight improvements in model stability.Furthermore,the SHapley Additive exPlanations(SHAP)explanations revealed the relationship between benzene rings,fluorine-containing groups,NH groups,oxygen in ether groups,and cardiotoxicity,highlighting the importance of these features.This study not only improved the predictive accuracy of cardiotoxicity models but also promoted a more reliable and scientifically interpretable method for drug safety assessment.Using computational methods,this study facilitates a more efficient drug development process,reduces costs,and improves the safety of new drug candidates,ultimately benefiting medical and public health.

Objective:To explore the potential profile characteristics and influencing factors of rehabilitation motivation in elderly patients with first stroke, so as to provide reference for promoting precise rehabilitation mode.Methods:A convenience sampling method was employed to conduct a cross-sectional survey of elderly patients with first stroke admitted to the Huanhu Hospital Affiliated to Tianjin Medical University from October 2024 to March 2025. The survey utilized a general information questionnaire, the Motivation in Stroke Patients for Rehabilitation Scale, the Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), the Exercise Adherence Questionnaire (EAQ), and the Stroke Stigma Scale (SSS). Potential categories of rehabilitation motivation among elderly patients with first stroke were identified using latent profile analysis, and the influencing factors of these potential categories were explored using the ordered multinomial Logistic regression.Results:A total of 290 survey questionnaires were distributed, and 281 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective response rate of 96.9%(281/290). Among 281 elderly patients with first stroke, there were 152 males and 129 females, with an age of (68.68 ± 6.89) years. The score of the Motivation in Stroke Patients for Rehabilitation Scale was 56.00 (36.00, 68.00) points. Rehabilitation motivation among elderly patients with first stroke could be categorized into three groups: low motivation-lack of family support and unclear goals group (44.1%, 124/281), moderate motivation-social reintegration driven but insufficient behavior group (41.3%, 116/281), and high motivation autonomous planning adaptation and value internalization group (14.6%, 41/281). The ordered multinomial Logistic regression analysis showed that compared to patients aged ≥80 years, patients aged 60-69 years were less likely to belong to the high motivation autonomous planning adaptation and value internalization group ( OR=0.231, P<0.05). Compared to patients with a per capita monthly income of ≥5 001 yuan, patients with a per capita monthly income of 3 001-5 000 yuan were more likely to belong to the high motivation autonomous planning adaptation and value internalization group ( OR=2.340, P<0.05). Compared to heavily dependent patients, patients who were completely independent ( OR=0.160, P<0.05), mildly dependent ( OR=0.155, P<0.01), and moderately dependent ( OR=0.211, P<0.05) were less likely to belong to the high motivation autonomous planning adaptation and value internalization group. The higher the EAQ score, the more likely patients were to belong to the high motivation autonomous planning adaptation and value internalization group ( OR=1.139, P<0.01). The higher the PSSS score, the more likely patients were to belong to the high motivation autonomous planning adaptation and value internalization group ( OR=1.108, P<0.01). The higher the SSS score, the less likely patients were to belong to the high motivation autonomous planning adaptation and value internalization group ( OR=0.787, P<0.01). Conclusions:Healthcare professionals can develop targeted intervention strategies based on the characteristics and influencing factors of patients' different rehabilitation motivations, thereby enhancing their rehabilitation motivation and promoting patient recovery.

Objective:To explore the potential categories of internal ability of elderly patients with ischemic stroke, identify the influencing factors and propose corresponding nursing interventions.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. From January 2025 to May 2025, the elderly patients with ischemic stroke in Tianjin Huanhu Hospital were selected by convenient sampling method. The general information questionnaire, the Internal Capacity Assessment Scale for the Older People, the Health Literacy Scale for stroke patients and the Perceived Social Support Scale were used to investigate. To determine latent categories of patients' intrinsic capacity, potential profile analysis was employed. Subsequently, multivariable Logistic regression examined factors associated with these categories.Results:A total of 260 survey questionnaires were distributed, and 256 valid questionnaires were finally collected, with an effective response rate of 98.46% (256/260). Among of them, there were 166 males and 90 females, aged 68.00 (63.00, 74.00) years.The intrinsic ability of elderly patients with ischemic stroke could be divided into three potential categories: low sensation-low exercise group (27.0%, 69/256), relatively stable intrinsic ability group (37.5%, 96/256) and low cognition-low psychology group (35.5%, 91/256). Multivariable Logistic regression showed that advanced age (compared to the low sensation-low exercise group, OR=0.902; compared to the relatively stable intrinsic ability group, OR=0.813), smoking (compared to the low sensation-low exercise group, OR=0.459; compared to the relatively stable intrinsic ability group, OR=0.442), the lower the Barthel index (compared to the low sensation-low exercise group, ≤40 points with OR=0.157; 41-60 points with OR=0.285) were more likely to enter the low cognition-low psychology group (all P<0.05); other chronic disease types ≤1 (compared to the low cognition-low psychology group, OR=2.630), higher health literacy scores (compared to the low cognition-low psychology group, OR=1.033) were more likely to enter the relatively stable intrinsic ability group (both P<0.05); and stroke frequency was the first occurrence (compared to the low cognition-low psychology group, OR=2.725) was more likely to enter the low sensation-low exercise group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:In older adults with ischemic stroke, the characteristics of intrinsic ability are clearly categorized. To enhance patient outcomes, healthcare professionals are advised to tailor nursing interventions based on the unique features and specific influencing factors associated with each potential category.

Objective To analyze the characteristic influencing factors for enlarged perivascular spaces(EPVS)in different regions of acute ischemic stroke(AIS)patients and explore their un-derlying pathogenesis.Methods A total of 172 AIS patients admitted to our department from September 2020 to September 2023 were consecutively enrolled.According to the distribution of EPVS,they were divided into basal ganglia EPVS group(n=103)and non-basal ganglia EPVS group(n=69),as well as centrum semiovale EPVS group(n=77)and non-centrum semiovale EPVS group(n=95).General information,NIHSS score at onset,TOAST classification,fasting blood glucose,liver function,coagulation function,and homocysteine(Hcy)level were collected in all the patients.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent influen-cing factors for EPVS in different regions.Results The basal ganglia EPVS group had significant-ly advanced age and larger proportion of hypertension than the non-basal ganglia EPVS group,while the centrum semiovale EPVS group had smaller proportion of hyperhomocysteinemia,and larger ratios of smoking and alcohol consumption,higher alanine aminotransferase(ALT)level,and longer thrombin time than the non-centrum semiovale EPVS group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Mul-tivariate logistic regression analysis showed that hypertension(OR=2.093,95％CI:1.045-4.192,P=0.037)and age(OR=1.071,95％CI:1.016-1.130,P=0.011)were independent influ-encing factors for basal ganglia EPVS,while alcohol consumption(OR=2.418,95％CI:1.097-5.330,P=0.029)and thrombin time(OR=1.593,95％CI:1.129-2.249,P=0.008)were inde-pendent influencing factors for centrum semiovale EPVS.Conclusion EPVS in different regions of AIS patients are associated with distinct risk factors.Age and hypertension are primary influen-cing factors for basal ganglia EPVS,while alcohol consumption and prolonged thrombin time are significant factors for centrum semiovale EPVS.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of cathepsin B(CTSB)/NOD-like receptor pyrin domain containing 3(NLRP3)pathway on the polarization of macrophages induced by LPS.Methods:The well-growing RAW264.7 mouse mononuclear macrophage lines were cultured in vitro and divided into 3 groups(n=6)according to the random number table method:control group(C group),LPS group(L group)and LPS+CA074-me(CTSB inhibitors)group(B group).C group was cultured normally for 24 h,L group was cultured with LPS concentration of 1 μg/ml medium for 24 h.B group was pretreated with CTSB inhibitor CA074-me 30 μmol/L for 1 h before LPS induction,and co-cultured with LPS concentration of 1 μg/ml medium for 24 h.After 24 hours,the morphological changes of the cells were observed by microscope,the concentrations of IL-1β and IL-18 in the supernatant were determined by ELISA.The ex-pressions of cathepsin B precursor(pro-CTSB),mature cathepsin B(mature-CTSB),NLRP3,apoptosis-related speck protein(ASC)and apoptosis-related speck protein-1(caspase-1)were detected by Western blot.The mRNA expression levels of CD32,inducible ni-tric oxide synthase(iNOS),arginase 1(Arg-1)and CD206 were detected by qRT-PCR.The positive expression rates of M1 macro-phage surface marker CD86 and M2 macrophage surface marker CD206 were detected by flow cytometry.Results:Compared with group C,the morphology of cells in groups L and B became larger and pseudopodia appeared.The concentrations of IL-1β and IL-18 in cell supernatant were increased,the expressions of pro-CTSB,mature-CTSB,NLRP3,ASC and caspase-1 were increased,and the expressions of CD32,iNOS mRNA were up-regulated and the positive rates of CD86 and CD206 were increased(P<0.01).Arg-1 and CD206 mRNA in group B were up-regulated(P<0.01).Compared with group L,the pseudopodia of group B were reduced,and the morphology was closer to group C.The concentration of IL-1β and IL-18 in the supernatant,the expression of mature-CTSB,NLRP3,ASC and caspase-1,CD32 and iNOS mRNA and the positive rate of CD86 were down-regulated in group B.The expression of pro-CTSB,Arg-1 and CD206 mRNA and the positive rate of CD206 were increased(P<0.01).Conclusion:Inhibition of CTSB/NLRP3 pathway can reduce the inflammatory response,reduce the LPS-induced polarization of RAW264.7 cells to M1 macrophages,and pro-mote their polarization to M2 macrophages.

Objective:To construct a lentiviral interference plasmid targeting collapse response regulatory protein 1(CRMP1)gene,to establish a human neuroblastoma cell line(SH-SY5Y)with stable CRMP1 knockdown,and to investigate its impact on expression of NLRP3 inflammasome protein.Methods:Double-stranded shRNA was designed and synthesized targeting h-CRMP1 mRNA sequence,and cloned into PLKO.1 vector.Recombinant shCRMP1 plasmids were constructed correctly,which was transfected into HEK-293T cells for lentiviral packaging.Obtained lentivirus supernatant was concentrated and then infected into SH-SY5Y cells.The interference effect of shCRMP1 plasmid and protein expressions of NLRP3 inflammasome components in SH-SY5Y cells were detected by Western blot.Results:DNA sequencing results showed that insertion sequences of recombinant interference plasmids pLKO.1-shCRMP1 were consistent with designed sequences,which confirmed successful construction of shCRMP1 lentivirus interfering plasmids and transfected into HEK-293T cells for lentivirus packaging,and protein level of CRMP1 in HEK-293T cells were decreased.SH-SY5Y cells were infected with lentivirus concentrate obtained from packaging and screened with puromycin.Western blot results showed that shCRMP1 recombinant lentiviral plasmids could significantly down-regulate CRMP1 protein expression in SH-SY5Y cells.It was also found that in SH-SY5Y cell line with stable CRMP1 knockdown,inhibition of CRMP1 expression could effectively inhibit NLRP3 inflammasome activation under MPP+induction.Conclusion:pLKO.1-shCRMP1 lentiviral interfering plas-mids have been successfully constructed,and interference with CRMP1 can inhibit activation of NLRP3 inflammasome in MPP+-in-duced SH-SY5Y cells.This study provides guidance for further research on mechanism of CRMP1 in neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease.
