As early mobilization of patients in the intensive care unit(ICU)is increasingly recognized as a key measure for improving patient prognosis and reducing complications,related research is increasing.However,conventional early mobilization methods are often limited by factors such as patient condition,nursing resources,and environmental factors,making it difficult to achieve optimal results.In recent years,virtual reality(VR)technology,owing to its unique immersion and interactive features,has emerged as a focus of research in the field of ICU patient rehabilitation.This review summarizes the advances in the application of VR technology in the early mobilization of ICU patients,focusing on its advantages over traditional methods,specific implementation approaches,clinical outcomes,and challenges encountered during application.By synthesizing existing evidence,this review aims to provide valuable references for clinical practice and to explore future directions for VR technology in ICU rehabilitation,with the goal of promoting its widespread application in the early mobilization of critically ill patients.

To investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the mechanosensitive ion channel PI-EZO2 in osteoarthritis(OA),we developed a lentiviral vector for endogenous PIEZO2 overexpression and established a stable PIEZO2-high-expressing immortalized human primary chondrocyte line.By map-ping the open reading frame of the PIEZO2 locus and designing sequence-specific sgRNA,we employed the CRISPR/Cas9 synergistic activation mediator(SAM)system to precisely integrate transcriptional ac-tivation elements into the PIEZO2 promoter region.Lentiviral-mediated targeted genomic integration en-sured endogenous PIEZO2 overexpression,confirmed by mCherry fluorescence tracing coupled with flow cytometric sorting,which revealed membrane-specific localization of PIEZO2 protein(localization effi-ciency:78.49％).Quantitative PCR demonstrated a 17-fold upregulation of PIEZO2 mRNA,while Western blotting validated enhanced membrane-localized protein expression.Strikingly,PIEZO2-overex-pressing chondrocytes exhibited hallmark OA metabolic phenotypes compared to wild-type controls:typeⅡ collagen mRNA expression decreased to 50％of baseline levels,whereas matrix metalloproteinase 13(MMP13)mRNA surged by 20-fold.These alterations recapitulated the pathological matrix metabolic phenotype observed in biomechanical OA models induced by cyclic mechanical stress(10％strain,0.5 Hz,8 h/day for 2 consecutive days).Collectively,we successfully generated a human chondrocyte model with stable PIEZO2 overexpression,which faithfully mirrors mechanotransduction-driven OA progression.This engineered cellular system provides a robust platform for dissecting PIEZO2-mediated mechanosig-naling networks and advancing targeted therapeutic discovery.

Tuberculosis(TB),a chronic infectious disease caused by infection with the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex(MTBC),has re-emerged as the leading cause of death from a single infectious agent worldwide.Because of widespread use and mis-use of anti-tuberculosis drugs,the emergence of multidrug-resistant TB(MDR-TB)and extensively drug-resistant TB(XDR-TB)is increasing,thus posing a serious threat to global health.The current problem of drug resistance is a major prevention and treatment challenge;therefore,the search for new drug targets is urgently needed.In recent years,substantial progress has been made in re-search on anti-tuberculosis drug targets and novel therapeutic strategies.Herein,we summarize recent research progress in anti-tuberculosis drug targets,primarily cell wall synthesis,nucleic acid replication and transcription,and energy metabolism.We also provide an overview of research progress regarding two novel therapeutic strategies,to provide a theoretical basis and research ideas for the development of new clinical drugs.

To explore the understanding of the target population regarding the Get Active Questionnaire for Pregnancy(GAQ-P)and the Companion Health Care Provider Consultation Form for Prenatal Physical Activity(cHCP-CF-PPA)in the Chinese context,and to verify the consistency of the Chinese version of the prenatal physical activity dual screening questionnaire with the original version in terms of language expression,27 pregnant women and 12 healthcare providers were selected from Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital,Fudan University during Aug and Oct 2023,and were interviewed using purposive sampling.Two rounds of cognitive interviews were conducted.The first round revealed that some respondents experienced ambiguities in understanding the meanings of 5 items in the questionnaire.Following modifications,the second round indicated that the revised items were consistent in meaning with the original questionnaire.Cognitive interviews can facilitate the adaptation of the prenatal physical activity dual screening questionnaire to the Chinese cultural context,improve the understanding of the questionnaire items among the target population,and promote the localization of the screening tool.

Aim To investigate the regulatory effects and underlying mechanisms of 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol(4-MBA),an active ingredient of Gastrodia elata,on hepatic cholesterol metabolism.Methods Acute hy-perlipidemia mouse models were established via egg yolk emulsion induction,and hyperlipidemia rat models were constructed using a high-fat diet.Serum and he-patic total cholesterol(TC),triglycerides(TG),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),and high-den-sity lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)levels were quan-tified via enzymatic assays.Hepatic histopathological changes were evaluated through hematoxylin-eosin(HE)and Oil Red O staining.Interactions between 4-MBA and key cholesterol metabolism targets were sim-ulated using molecular docking.mRNA and protein ex-pression levels of LDL receptor(LDLR),proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9(PCSK9),liver X receptor α(LXRα),peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ(PPARγ),ATP-binding cassette transporter G1(ABCG1),and cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase(CYP7A1)were assessed using quantitative polymer-ase chain reaction(qPCR)and immunohistochemis-try.Results In acute hyperlipidemic mice,4-MBA administration significantly reduced serum TG and LDL-C levels while elevating HDL-C(P＜0.05).Hy-perlipidemic rats exhibited decreased serum TG and LDL-C,increased HDL-C(P＜0.01),reduced hepatic LDL-C(P＜0.01),and elevated hepatic HDL-C(P＜0.01).Although TC levels showed a downward trend,the difference lacked statistical significance.He-patic lipid accumulation and steatosis were alleviated.Upregulated mRNA and protein expression of LDLR,PPARγ,LXRα,and ABCG1(P＜0.01),alongside downregulated PCSK9(P＜0.05),were observed.Conclusion 4-MBA modulates cholesterol metabolism primarily via the LDLR/PCSK9 pathway to enhance cholesterol uptake and the PPARγ-LXRα-CYP7A1/ABCA1 axis to promote cholesterol utilization and ef-flux.
