OBJECTIVE:Neuromuscular exercise is a new comprehensive rehabilitation therapy in recent years,but its effect on knee osteoarthritis is still controversial.The purpose of this paper is to systematically evaluate the efficacy of neuromuscular exercise on knee osteoarthritis pain and function. METHODS:The randomized controlled trials addressing neuromuscular exercise in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis pain and function were retrieved from PubMed,Cochrane Library,Embase,EBSCO,CNKI,Web of Science,China Biomedical Database(CBM),VIP,and WanFang Database.The retrieval time ranged from database inception to October 2023.The neuromuscular training group(experimental group)was given neuromuscular training or neuromuscular training as the main intervention;the control group was a blank group or given conventional rehabilitation.Outcome indicators included the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index(WOMAC)score,walking time,knee stability,and the maximum number of knee flexion in 30 seconds.The risk of bias was evaluated by the Cochrane Collaboration tool and the Physiotherapy Evidence Database.Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software. RESULTS:A total of 11 randomized controlled trials were included,and 628 samples were extracted.The results of Meta-analysis showed that the experimental group was superior to the control group in terms of WOMAC pain score[standardized mean difference(SMD)=0.38,95%confidence interval(CI):0.08-0.69,P=0.01],knee stability(SMD=0.57,95%CI:0.23-0.92,P=0.001),the maximum number of knee joint flexion in 30 seconds(SMD=0.35,95%CI:0.05-0.65,P=0.02),and WOMAC physical function score(SMD=-0.79,95%CI:-1.30 to-0.28,P=0.002).In both groups,walking speed was increased and walking ability was improved in patients with knee osteoarthritis,but there was no significant difference(walking time:SMD=-0.22,95%CI:-0.48-0.03,P=0.09). CONCLUSION:Neuromuscular exercise can effectively improve knee joint pain,enhance the stability of the knee joint,and promote functional recovery in patients with knee osteoarthritis.However,more high-quality randomized controlled trials are still needed to further confirm the research.

Objective To explore the basis of PERMA on the overall well-being and social support of elderly patients with maintenance hemodialysis(MHD).Methods A total of 60 elderly patients with MHD were selected from the blood purification center of a tertiary A hospital in Zhejiang Province from January to December 2022 as the study subjects.According to the different disease areas of the patients,they were randomly divided into an experimental group or a control group.Finally,30 patients were included in each group.The control group received routine care,and the experimental group received another 4-week bidirectional social support intervention based on the PERMA model.General well-being scale,social support rating scale,sleep duration,activity duration were used to evaluate the effect before intervention,4 weeks after intervention and 1 month after intervention.Results The results of repeated measurement ANOVA showed that there were statistically significant differences in general happiness score,social support score,sleep duration and activity duration in terms of time effect(P＜0.05),while there were statistically significant differences in general happiness score,social support score and sleep duration in terms of inter-group effect(P＜0.05).Social support score and sleep duration had statistically significant interac-tion effects(P＜0.05).Conclusion The bidirectional social support intervention based on well-being PERMA model can enhance the general well-being and social support level of elderly patients with MHD,and improve the sleep and activity status of elderly patients with MHD.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of modified Lizhong Decoction on gastric and duodenal ulcers(GDU)of the spleen-stomach cold deficiency type,as well as its influence on gastric function and inflammatory mediators.Methods From April 2023 to May 2025,patients diagnosed with gastric dyspepsia of the spleen and stomach cold deficiency type at Nanyang First People's Hospital were randomly assigned to either the Western medicine group(n=53)or the combined therapy group(n=53).The Western medicine group received oral rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated tablets and sucralfate suspension,while the combined therapy group received the same Western medication regimen plus modified Lizhong Decoction.Both groups underwent a 6-week treatment course.Outcomes including clinical efficacy after 6 weeks,gastric mucosal morphology scores,gastric function,levels of inflammatory mediators,mucosal repair-related factors,oxidative stress markers,quality of life before and after treatment,and treatment safety were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate in the combined group after 6 weeks of treatment was significantly higher than that in the Western medicine group(P<0.05).After 6 weeks of treatment,both groups showed reduced mucosal thickness,inflammatory cell infiltration,glandular density scores,and decreased serum levels of cholecystokinin(CCK),motilin(MTL),gastrin(GAS),interleukin-6(IL-6),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB),and malondialdehyde(MDA)compared to baseline,with greater reductions observed in the combined group(P<0.05).Additionally,serum levels of calcitonin gene-related peptide(CGRP),trefoil factor 1(TFF1),epidermal growth factor(EGF),epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR),and superoxide dismutase(SOD),as well as quality-of-life scores across multiple domains,were significantly increased from baseline in both groups,with the combined group showing superior improvements(P<0.05).During the treatment period,the incidence of adverse reactions was 11.32%in the combined group and 5.66%in the Western medicine group,with no statistically significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion Modified Lizhong Decoction demonstrated a definite therapeutic effect on GDU of the spleen and stomach cold deficiency type,effectively improving gastric mucosal morphology,enhancing gastric function,suppressing inflammatory responses and oxidative stress,promoting the secretion of mucosal repair-related factors,improving patients'quality of life,and exhibiting favorable safety.

The theory of five spirits(mind,eternal soul,corporeal soul,consciousness and will)is an important part of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)theory,which reveals the human mental and psychological activities.Five-spirit theory takes the shape of modern cognitive psychology.Language is an important part of cognitive activities.Under the guidance of the five-spirit theory of TCM,and by combining the research results of modern cognitive psychology,this paper initially constructs a language processing model,and proposes that heart-mind,spleen-consciousness,kidney-will,and liver-soul are all involved in the formation of language.Moreover,the pathogenesis of post-stroke aphasia(PSA)is explored from the perspective of the five spirits.It is proposed that PSA refers to the comorbidity of body and spirit,and its pathogenesis is related to the disorders of the five spirits.After analyzing the clinical manifestations of PSA,it is suggested that malnutrition of heart-mind and insufficient kidney-will contribute to the pathogenesis of auditory comprehension and reading obstacles in patients with PSA,and the deactivation of liver-soul is closely related to spontaneous speech and naming obstacles.The treatment of PSA should be focused on nourishing blood and tranquilizing mind,enhancing consciousness and strengthening will,and suppressing liver to tranquilize soul.And the prescriptions of Pingbu Zhenxin Pills,Zhiyi Decoction plus Dingzhi Pills,and Dinghun Decoction can be chosen for modified use.The acupuncture and moxibustion can also be used for PSA,by performance mainly on the acupoints of heart meridians,pericardial meridians,spleen meridians,kidney meridians and liver meridians.The syndrome differentiation and treatment system for PSA with the combination of Chinese medicine and acupuncture based on the five-spirit theory makes up for the shortcomings of stress on the physique while ignorance of the spirit in the conventional zang-fu organ syndrome differentiation,and expands the methods for early intervention of PSA with TCM and approaches to improve the prognosis of rehabilitation.

Objective To analyze the impact of sarcopenia on the efficacy and adverse reactions of immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy in patients with advanced gastric cancer.Methods Patients with locally advanced or metastatic gastric cancer confirmed by pathology who were not eligible for radical surgery were selected as study subjects.A body composition analyzer was used to measure the appendicular muscle mass of the patients and calculate the skeletal muscle mass index(SMI).Based on the SMI,the patients were divided into sarcopenia group and non-sarcopenia group.On the basis of nutritional intervention and comprehensive exercise therapy,the patients were administered immu-notherapy combined with chemotherapy.The efficacy and adverse reactions were evaluated.The primary endpoint was progression-free survival(PFS),and the secondary endpoints were the objec-tive response rate(ORR)and treatment-related adverse reactions.Results A total of 52 gastric cancer patients were included,with 23 in the sarcopenia group and 29 in the non-sarcopenia group.The median PFS in the non-sarcopenia group was 9.8 months(95％CI,8.9 to 12.4),and was 5.4 months in the sarcopenia group(95％CI,4.9 to 8.1).The median PFS in the non-sarcopenia group was longer than that in the sarcopenia group,and the difference was statistically significant[HR(95％CI)=0.41(0.23 to 0.73),P=0.003].The results of the multivariate Cox propor-tional hazards regression model showed that comorbidities,treatment cycles,and sarcopenia were all independent prognostic factors affecting the PFS of gastric cancer patients(P＜0.05).The ORR in the non-sarcopenia group was 48.28％(14/29),and was 17.39％(4/23)in the sarcopenia group(x2=5.276,P＜0.05).Treatment-related adverse reactions with grading ≥3 in both groups were mainly hematological toxicities.In the non-sarcopenia group,the incidence of grading ≥ 3 treat-ment-related adverse reactions was 27.59％(8/29),and the incidence of grading＜3 treatment-re-lated adverse reactions(including those with no adverse reactions)was 72.41％(21/29).In the sarcopenia group,the incidence of grading ≥3 treatment-related adverse reactions was 56.52％(13/23),and the incidence of grading＜3 treatment-related adverse reactions(including those without adverse reactions)was 43.48％(10/23).The incidence of grading ≥3 treatment-related adverse reactions in the non-sarcopenia group was lower than that in the sarcopenia group(P=0.035).Conclusion For patients with locally advanced or metastatic gastric cancer complicated with sarcopenia,the median PFS of immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy is shorter,the ORR is lower,and the incidence of treatment-related adverse reactions is increased.Therefore,ear-ly intervention for sarcopenia should be implemented to improve the quality of life of patients with advanced gastric cancer.

Objective:This study sought to examine the clinicopathological features of monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T-cell lymphoma (MEITL) and to discuss its differential diagnosis.Methods:A total of 36 MEITL cases, collected between June 2015 and January 2024 from the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University and the First Affiliated Hospital, College of Medicine, Zhejiang University, were analyzed. Patients underwent immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization for Epstein-Barr virus-encoded small RNA (EBER), and T-cell receptor (TCR) gene rearrangement testing. Clinical data, laboratory results, and follow-up information were collected for correlation analysis.Results:The cohort included 36 patients (20 males and 16 females) aged 17-76 years (median: 57 years). Tumors outside the intestine were observed in 22 cases (61%). A total of 32 patients (89%) underwent surgical intervention and/or chemotherapy, and one patient received auto-HSCT. The median follow-up duration was 11.5 months (range: 8-73 months), with a median overall survival of 6 months (range: 1-67 months) ; 34 patients died during the follow-up period. Morphologically, nine cases (25%) exhibited significant pleomorphism. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that high expression levels of both P53 and c-Myc were correlated with atypical morphology ( P=0.003 and P=0.016, respectively). Notably, patients with high P53 expression had significantly shorter survival times than those with low P53 expression ( χ2=4.922, P=0.027), whereas survival did not differ significantly based on c-Myc expression levels ( χ2=0.034, P=0.854). Furthermore, a PD-L1 CPS score ≥10 was observed in 22 cases (68.8%). Scattered EBER positivity in background cells was identified in four cases. All tested cases (17/17, 100.0%) showed clonal TCR gene rearrangements. Conclusions:MEITL is a rare but highly aggressive lymphoma with distinct clinical and pathological features. A subset of cases may exhibit atypical morphological patterns, complicating the diagnostic process. Improving awareness of this neoplasm is helpful for early and precise diagnosis as well as the estabolishment of novel therapy regimen.
