ObjectiveTo explore the effect of the medical-community linkage model on activities of daily living, psychological status and motor function of stroke patients in the community. MethodsA total of 60 stroke patients admitted to two community health service centers and their affiliated stations in Fengtai District, Beijing, from January, 2024 to August, 2025 were enrolled and randomly divided into control group (n = 30) and intervention group (n = 30). The control group received routine medicine, dietary care and rehabilitation management, while the intervention group underwent rehabilitation with the medical-community linkage model, for twelve weeks. They were assessed with modified Barthel Index (MBI), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) before and after intervention. ResultsAfter intervention, the MBI, HAMA, HAMD and FMA scores of patients improved in both groups (|t| > 5.599, P < 0.001), and improved more in the intervention group than in the control group (P < 0.05), except MBI. The HAMA and HAMD scores of family members decreased in both groups (|t| > 10.333, P < 0.001), and decreased more in the intervention group than in the control group (t > 5.681, P < 0.001). ConclusionThe medical-community linkage model can further improve the motor function of stroke patients in community, as well as the psychological status of both patients and their family members.

Background/Aims: The pathophysiology of refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease (RGERD), which differs from proton pump inhibitor dependent gastroesophageal reflux disease (DGERD), remains incompletely elucidated. This study aims to compare esophageal motility patterns, transdiaphragmatic pressure gradients (TPG), and reflux profiles between RGERD and DGERD patients, and to delineate dynamic pressure gradient-esophagogastric junction (EGJ) interactions in these patients. Methods: In this retrospective study, 274 patients who underwent 24-hour impedance-pH monitoring and high-resolution manometry, along with an assessment of proton pump inhibitor responsiveness, were classified as RGERD (32.5%), DGERD (54.4%), or non-GERD (13.1%). Clinical characteristics, TPG, esophageal motility, and reflux metrics were compared between RGERD and DGERD patients. Subgroup analysis excluding hiatal hernia (HH) was conducted to investigate the pathophysiology of RGERD. Results: The RGERD group exhibited a significantly higher proportion of chest pain compared to the DGERD group. Regarding reflux profiles, RGERD patients without HH (RGERDHH- group) experienced increased weakly acidic reflux (P < 0.001) and prolonged bolus exposure (P = 0.006) compared to their counterparts (DGERDHH- group). Mechanistically, the RGERDHH- group showed reduced lower esophageal sphincter basal pressure (P = 0.010) and EGJ contractile integral (P = 0.005). Notably, following a wet-swallow, the RGERDHH- group experienced the significant elevation in gastric pressure and TPG. Correlation analyses revealed weakly acidic reflux and bolus exposure were positively correlated with gastric pressure variation, and inversely correlated with lower esophageal sphincter basal pressure. Conclusions Transient gastric pressure elevation and compromised EGJ barrier function drive weakly acidic reflux and esophageal bolus exposure. This pressure gradient-barrier mismatch underpins the refractoriness of RGERD.

Objective To construct and compare logistic regression and decision tree models for predicting systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) in patients with type B aortic dissection (TBAD) after interventional surgery. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of TBAD patients at Peking University Shenzhen Hospital from 2020 to 2024. The patients were divided into a SIRS group and a non SIRS group based on whether SIRS occurred within 24 hours after surgery. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of SIRS occurrence in TBAD intervention patients, and a decision tree model was constructed using SPSS Modeler to compare the predictive performance of the two models. Results A total of 742 patients with TBAD were included, including 579 males and 163 females, aged 27-97 (58.85±10.79) years. Within 24 hours after intervention, a total of 506 patients developed SIRS, with an incidence rate of 68.19%. Logistic regression analysis showed that the extensive involvement of the dissection, the surgical time≥2 hours, PET coated stents implanted, serum creatinine, white blood cell count, C-reactive protein, monocyte (MONO), neutrophil count levels elevated, estimated glomerular filtration rate and decreased albumin levels were independent risk factors for SIRS (P<0.05). The decision tree model selected a total of 10 explanatory variables and 6 layers with 37 nodes, among which MONO was the most important predictor. The area under the decision tree model curve was 0.829 [95%CI (0.800, 0.856)], which was better than the logistic regression model's 0.690 [95%CI (0.655, 0.723)], and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.001). Conclusion The incidence of SIRS after TBAD intervention is high, and the decision tree model has better predictive performance than logistic regression. It can identify high-risk patients with higher accuracy and provide a practical tool for early clinical intervention.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Tangning Tongluo tablets in the treatment of nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy （DR）. MethodsFourteen research centers participated in this study， which spanned a time interval from September 2021 to May 2023. A total of 240 patients with nonproliferative DR were included and randomly assigned into an observation group （120 cases） and a control group （120 cases）. The observation group was treated with Tangning Tongluo tablets， and the control group with calcium dobesilate capsules. Both groups were treated for 24 consecutive weeks. The vision， DR progression rate， retinal microhemangioma， hemorrhage area， exudation area， glycosylated hemoglobin （HbA1c） level， and TCM syndrome score were assessed before and after treatment， and the safety was observed. ResultsThe vision changed in both groups after treatment （P<0.05）， and the observation group showed higher best corrected visual acuity （BCVA） than the control group （P<0.05）. The DR progression was slow with similar rates in the two groups. The fundus hemorrhage area and exudation area did not change significantly after treatment in both groups， while the observation group outperformed the control group in reducing the fundus hemorrhage area and exudation area. There was no significant difference in the number of microhemangiomas between the two groups before treatment. After treatment， the number of microhemangiomas decreased in both the observation group （Z=-1.437， P<0.05） and the control group （Z=-2.238， P<0.05）， and it showed no significant difference between the two groups. As the treatment time prolonged， the number of microhemangiomas gradually decreased in both groups. There was no significant difference in the HbA1c level between the two groups before treatment. After treatment， the decline in the HbA1c level showed no significant difference between the two groups. The TCM syndrome score did not have a statistically significant difference between the two groups before treatment. After treatment， neither the TCM syndrome score nor the response rate had significant difference between the two groups. With the extension of the treatment time， both groups showed amelioration of TCM syndrome compared with the baseline. ConclusionTangning Tongluo tablets are safe and effective in the treatment of nonproliferative DR， being capable of improving vision and reducing hemorrhage and exudation in the fundus.

Objective To analyze the risk factors for acute kidney injury(AKI)in patients with acute non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding(ANVUGIB)and establish a prediction model.Methods A total of 286 ANVUGIB patients admitted to our hospital from August 2021 to August 2024 were enrolled.Patients were divided into an observation group(with AKI,n=43)and a control group(without AKI,n=243).The influencing factors for AKI in ANVUGIB patients were analyzed,and a nomogram prediction model was con-structed to evaluate its predictive efficacy.Results Among 286 ANVUGIB patients,43 cases(15.03%)de-veloped AKI.Logistic regression analysis showed that platelet count had no significant effect on AKI compli-cation in ANVUGIB(P>0.05).Hemoglobin,albumin,and sodium were independent protective factors for AKI complication(P<0.05),while comorbid coronary heart disease,bleeding volume,blood transfusion,and risk grade were independent risk factors(P<0.05).The nomogram prediction model for AKI complication in ANVUGIB demonstrated good fit in the Hosmer-Lemeshow test.ROC curve analysis revealed an AUC of 0.908(95%CI:0.868 to 0.939),with a sensitivity of 83.72%and specificity of 84.77%.The calibration curve showed a Brier score of 0.075 and calibration slope of 0.808,indicating good calibration.Conclusion Comorbid coro-nary heart disease,bleeding volume,blood transfusion,risk grade,hemoglobin,albumin,and sodium are signif-icant influencing factors for AKI complication in ANVUGIB.The nomogram model based on these factors shows favorable predictive performance and serves as a reliable tool for AKI risk stratification in ANVUGIB patients,supporting early clinical intervention decisions.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of anrikefon and tegileridine for analgesia in patients with moderate-to-severe pain after abdominal surgery with general anesthesia.Methods:In this multicenter, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled clinical trial, 101 patients with moderate to severe pain (numeric pain rating scale [NRS] score ≥4 within 4 h after operation) after abdominal surgery with general anesthesia between February 24 and April 1, 2025, aged 18-70 yr, with a body mass index of 18-40 kg/m 2, were assigned to anrikefon group ( n=50) and tegileridine group ( n=51) in a 1∶1 ratio using stratified blocked randomization. Double-dummy design was employed to maintain blinding. Each group received an initial intravenous injection of anrikefon 1 μg/kg or tegileridine 1 mg, followed by connection to a patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) pump (the PCIA solution contained normal saline in anrikefon group; the PCIA solution contained tegileridine 5 mg in tegileridine pump) within 10 min. If the patient′s NRS score ≥4 at 8 and 16 h after the initial injection, anrikefon 1 μg/kg was intravenously injected in anrikefon group, and tegileridine group received the equal volume of normal saline. The primary efficacy endpoint was the sum of pain intensity difference (SPID) over the first 24 h after the initial dose (SPID 0-24h). The secondary efficacy endpoints included the incidence and severity of vomiting and nausea, incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting(PONV), the proportion of patients who received antiemetic treatment, and total consumption of antiemetics within 0-24 h after the initial dose, NRS score at rest ≤ 1 at 24 h after the initial dose, and NRS score at rest ≤ 3 over the first 24 h after the initial dose. Safety indicators included adverse events, vital signs, physical examination findings, 12-lead ECG and laboratory test indicators, and adverse events of special interest. Results:Compared with tegileridine group, no significant change was found in the SPID 0-24h ( P>0.05), and the incidence of vomiting, PONV, proportion of patients requiring antiemetic medication, and total consumption of antiemetics were significantly decreased within the first 24 h after the initial dose in tegileridine group ( P<0.05). One treatment-emergent adverse event of Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events grade 3 or higher occurred in tegileridine group, while no treatment-emergent adverse events of Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events grade 3 or higher were found in anrikefon group. Among the adverse events of special interest, one case of respiratory depression and one case of cough occurred in tegileridine group, while one case of cough occurred in anrikefon group, with no respiratory depression. Conclusions:Anrikefon and tegileridine provide comparable analgesic efficacy for moderate-to-severe pain after abdominal surgery with general anesthesia. However, anrikefon exhibits an advantage in reducing the risk of PONV, with a superior safety profile.

AIM:The current study aims to investigate the protective effect of farrerol against sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy and its mechanisms in mice.METHODS:Eighteen male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into the control,lipopolysaccharide(LPS;10 mg/kg),and LPS+farrerol(40 mg/kg)groups,with 6 mice in each group.The car-diac function of the mice was assessed via ultrasonography.Myocardial pathological changes and mitochondrial damage were examined via hematoxylin and eosin staining and transmission electron microscopy,respectively.TUNEL staining was performed to evaluate myocardial apoptosis,and RT-qPCR and ELISA were conducted to assess cardiac tissue inflam-matory factor mRNA expression and the serum inflammatory factor levels.Furthermore,the malondialdehyde(MDA),glutathione(GSH),superoxide dismutase(SOD),Fe2+,and reactive oxygen species(ROS)levels in the myocardial tis-sues were evaluated using kits and immunofluorescence.Western blot analysis was performed to investigate the levels of key proteins associated with apoptosis,ferroptosis,and the nuclear factor E2-related facor 2(Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1(HO-1)signaling pathway.RESULTS:Farrerol pretreatment prevented the reduction of cardiac function in mice with SIC(P<0.01).Further,it decreased myocardial tissue pathological damage,mitochondrial ultrastructural disruption,the inflammatory factor levels(P<0.01),cardiac oxidative stress and Fe2+content(P<0.01),the expression of apoptotic cardiomyocytes(P<0.01),and the level of Bax expression(P<0.01).Finally,it increased the protein expression of Bcl-2,glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4),solute carrier family 7 member 11(SLC7A11),Nrf2,and HO-1(P<0.05 or P<0.01).The control,LPS,and LPS+farrerol groups did not significantly differ in terms of left ventricular anterior wall end-diastolic depth and left ventricular posterior wall end-diastolic depth(P>0.05).CONCLUSION:Farrerol reduces LPS-induced septic myocardial injury and inhibits the development of ferroptosis in the myocardial tissues of mice,which may be related to the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway.

Aim To investigate the effect of high-fat diet on the tight junction function injury of Sertoli cells through the NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway in mice and to explore the underlying mechanism.Methods Male C57BL/6J mice were fed with high-fat or normal diet for five months.The body and gonadal organ weight of mice were measured,and their indices were calculated.The sperm concentration,the sperm viabili-ty,the testicular histomorphology and the expression levels of tight junction proteins ZO-1,Occludin and Claudin-11 were measured.TM4 cells were treated with palmitic acid(PA)for 24 h.Cell viability was detected by CCK-8 method.Then,TM4 cells were di-vided into different groups treated with PA(0,50,100,200 and 300 μmnol·L-1),and the expression lev-els of tight junction proteins ZO-1,Occludin and Clau-din-11 were detected by Western blot.The tight junc-tion permeability of TM4 cells were detected by transepithelial electrical resistance(TEER)and FITC-dextran.The expression levels of mRNA and proteins for the NF-κB/NLRP3 pathway-related factors were de-tected by RT-qPCR and Western blot.Results The results from animal experiments showed that high-fat diet increased body weight and seminal vesicle weight of mice,and decreased testicular index,epididymal in-dex,sperm concentration and sperm motility of mice.High-fat diet also caused testicular tissue structure damage and down-regulated the expression levels of tight junction proteins ZO-1 and Occludin,without af-fecting the expression of Claudin-11.In vitro,PA sig-nificantly down-regulated the expression levels of ZO-1,Occludin and Claudin-11 in TM4 cells,increased the cell permeability,as well as up-regulated the mRNA and protein expression levels of NLRP3/NF-κB signa-ling pathway-related factors in TM4 cells.Conclusions High-fat diet can impair the function of tight junction of testicualr Sertoli cells,and the machanism may be related to the activation of the NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway,resulting in Sertoli cell inflammation in mice.

Background:Ribosomal protein L22-like 1(RPL22L1)exerts regulatory effects on various malignant tumors such as lung cancer,prostate cancer,and cervical cancer.However,its role in colorectal cancer(CRC)remains unclear.Aims:To investigate the expression of RPL22L1 in CRC and its role in patients' prognosis and glucose metabolism of tumor cells.Methods:A total of 142 newly diagnosed CRC patients admitted to the Taizhou First People's Hospital from February 2022 to June 2024 were enrolled.The expression levels of RPL22L1 mRNA and protein were detected by quantitative real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry,respectively.The correlation between RPL22L1 expression and clinicopathological characteristics was analyzed.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to evaluate the impact of RPL22L1 expression on the prognosis of CRC patients.RPL22L1 siRNA was transfected into SW480 cells to establish a low-expression cell model.Cell proliferation was assessed by CCK-8 assay,cell migration by Transwell chamber assay,and apoptosis by flow cytometry.Gene set enrichment analysis(GSEA)was performed to evaluate the effect of RPL22L1 on glucose metabolism of tumor cells.Results:The expression levels of RPL22L1 mRNA and protein were significantly higher in CRC tissues than in adjacent normal tissues(all P<0.05).The expression level of RPL22L1 mRNA was correlated with the TNM stage and carcinoembryonic antigen level of CRC(all P<0.05).Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the cumulative survival rate of high RPL22L1 mRNA expression group was significantly lower than that of low-expression group(P=0.027).The expression level of RPL22L1 mRNA was significantly higher in SW480 cells than in normal intestinal epithelial cells(P<0.001).After inhibiting RPL22L1 expression,the proliferation and migration capacities of SW480 cells were significantly decreased(all P<0.05),the apoptosis rate was significantly increased(P=0.005),and the lactate level and relative glucose uptake level were significantly reduced(all P<0.05).GSEA indicated that RPL22L1 gene was associated with glycolysis/gluconeo-genesis(P=0.02).Conclusions:RPL22L1 is highly expressed in CRC and is associated with poor prognosis of patients,suggesting its potential as a molecular target for CRC therapy.Furthermore,RPL22L1 may promote the tumorigenesis and progression of CRC by modulating glucose metabolism.
