Objective To explore the potential profile characteristics and influencing factors of social participation in young and middle-aged stroke patients based on the theoretical framework of international classification of functioning,disability and health,so as to provide a basis for formulating personalized intervention measures.Methods From May to October 2024,convenience sampling was used to select young and middle-aged stroke patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University as research objects.The data were collected through the general information questionnaire,impact on participation and autonomy questionaire and stroke stigma scale.The potential profile analysis was used to classify the patients' social participation level,and the disordered multinomial Logistic regression was used to analyze its influencing factors.Results The social participation of young and middle-aged stroke patients could be divided into three types:independent social life type(47.87％),limited social interaction type(28.20％)and weakened family responsibility type(23.93％).Stigma,stroke type and personal history of stroke were the influencing factors of different types of social participation(P＜0.05).Conclusion There is heterogeneity in the level of social participation in young and middle-aged stroke patients.Medical staff should provide personalized rehabilitation guidance according to different potential categories to improve the level of social participation and quality of life of patients.

Objective To screen the anti-Streptococcus pneumoniae(Spn)active ingredients in vitro from different po-lar parts of Pilea peltata,and to examine the combined antibacterial effect of the active ingredient and amoxicillin(AMX).Methods A 96-well plate microdilution method was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC)of different polar parts;the most active polar part was separated by preparative high-performance liquid chromatography,and the active ingre-dients were identified using spectral technology.The fractional inhibitory concentration(FIC)of active ingredients and AMX was determined by the 96-well plate chessboard microdilution method.The crystal violet method was used to investigate the effect of ac-tive ingredients on Spn biofilm.The effect of active ingredients on the appearance and morphology of Spn was investigated under the electron microscope.Results The MICs of the petroleum ether part,chloroform part,ethyl acetate part,n-butanol part,and water part were 1.000,1.000,0.500,1.000,and 2.000 mg·mL-1 respectively,among which the ethyl acetate part had the stron-gest antibacterial activity.Three compounds were isolated from ethyl acetate,namely 5,7,3',4'-tetramethoxyflavone 1,8-O-(p-coumaroyl)-1(10)E,4(5)E-humuladien-8-ol 2 and 1-O-p-coumaroyl copaborneol 3.These compounds were all isolated for the first time from Pilea peltate,their MICs against Spn were 200.000,50.000,and 25.000 μg·mL-1 respectively,and the compound 3 had the strongest antibacterial activity;the FIC value of AMX and compound 3 was 0.50,which had a synergistic antibacterial effect on Spn.Both AMX and compound 3 had inhibitory effects on Spn biofilm,but the biofilm inhibition rate of compound 3(59.10±1.04％)was significantly lower than AMX(87.38±0.84)％(P＜0.01);Moreover,there was no significant difference in biofilm inhibition rate between the combination of the two and AMX(P＞0.05).The scanning electron microscope results showed that the bacterial cells in the compound 3 group had a smooth surface but varying degrees of depression.The surface of the bacteri-al cells in the AMX group and the AMX combined compound 3 group showed severe swelling and rupture.Conclusions Fla-vonoids and sesquiterpenoids are both the anti-Spn active components of Pilea peltate.Among them,sesquiterpenoids have more potent antibacterial activity,and their antibacterial action mechanism is related to inhibiting bacterial biofilms.Compound 3 and AMX have a synergistic antibacterial effect on Spn,but its mechanism of action is not by enhancing biofilm inhibition;although compound 3 cannot destroy the cell wall of Spn,it still has a negative impact on the appearance of the bacteria.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the pharmacological effect of Buzhong Yiqitang on brain development in offspring of rats with subclinical hypothyroidism （SCH） during pregnancy and explore its potential mechanism. MethodsForty-eight SPF female SD rats were divided into sham operation group （n=8） and model group （n=40）. The rat model of subclinical hypothyroidism （SCH） was constructed by total thyroidectomy combined with postoperative subcutaneous injection of levothyroxine （L-T₄）. The modeled rats were randomly allocated into model， low-， medium-， and high-dose （5.58， 11.16， 22.32 g∙kg^-1， respectively） Buzhong Yiqitang， and euthyrox （4.5×10^-6 g∙kg^-1） groups， with 8 rats in each group. These rats were co-housed with normal male rats for mating. Drug administration started 2 weeks before pregnancy and continued until delivery. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and Golgi-cox staining were used to observe pathological changes in the hippocampal tissue of offspring rats. Western blot was employed to detect the effects of Buzhong Yiqitang on the protein levels of cytochrome C oxidase subunitⅠ （COX）Ⅰ and COXⅣ in the hippocampal tissue of offspring rats. A colorimetric method was used to measure the mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate （ATP） content in the hippocampal tissue of offspring rats. For in vitro experiments， a hydrogen peroxide （H₂O₂）-induced oxidative damage model was established with rat pheochromocytoma cells （PC12）. Interventions included the DNA methyltransferase inhibitor （SGI-1027）， Buzhong Yiqitang-medicated serum， and euthyrox-medicated serum. The cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8） assay was used to examine the effect of Buzhong Yiqitang on cell proliferation. Immunofluorescence staining was performed to evaluate the effect on tubulin beta 3 class Ⅲ （TUBB3） in PC12 cells. Western blot was employed to assess the effects on the protein levels of DNA methyltransferases （TETs and DNMTs） in PC12 cells. The fluorescent probe 2′，7′-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate （DCFH-DA）， luciferase assay， and JC-1 staining were employed to assess the effects of Buzhong Yiqitang on the levels of reactive oxygen species （ROS） and ATP and the mitochondrial membrane potential in PC12 cells. ResultsCompared with the sham group， the model group showed a reduction in the number of hippocampal neurons， incomplete pyramidal cell bodies， loose arrangement， shortened average dendrite length， decreased dendritic complexity and dendritic spine density， and reduced expression levels of COXⅠ and COXⅣ and content of ATP in the brain tissue （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， after administration of Buzhong Yiqitang and euthyrox， hippocampal neurons exhibited regular arrangement， complete morphology， extended dendrite， increased dendritic complexity and dendritic spine density， and restored expression levels of COXⅠ and COXⅣ and content of ATP （P<0.05， P<0.01）， with the medium-dose Buzhong Yiqitang group showing the best therapeutic effect. In the PC12 cell model of oxidative damage， Buzhong Yiqitang increased the cell viability （P<0.01）， enhanced neuronal differentiation， down-regulated the expression levels of DNMTs （P<0.05）， up-regulated the expression levels of TETs （P<0.05）， decreased the ROS content （P<0.01）， and restored the ATP content and mitochondrial membrane potential （P<0.01）. ConclusionBuzhong Yiqitang protects brain development in offspring of pregnant rats with SCH. It mainly acts on the oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction resulted from abnormal mtDNA methylation， with DNMTs and TETs as the key proteins for its effects.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological and clinical features of infectious diseases of the central nervous system (CNS).Methods:A cross-sectional study and analysis were conducted to summarize the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of 9 918 patients with CNS infectious diseases, who were diagnosed and treated at 29 hospitals across China from January 1, 2001 to December 31, 2020. Data collected included demographic data, clinical manifestations, health economic indicators, and prognostic outcomes.Results:Among the 9 918 collected cases of CNS infectious diseases, 5 559 were male (56.0%) and 4 359 were female (44.0%), with an onset age of 38 (25, 53) years. Education level: slightly more junior high school education (2 651 cases, 26.7%), and less elementary school education and below (2 181 cases, 22.0%) were found. Occupational distribution: farmers were found predominant (3 215 cases, 32.4%), followed by workers (1 826 cases, 18.4%) and students (1 633 cases, 16.5%). Clinical manifestations: headache (6 074 cases, 61.2%), fever (5 869 cases, 59.2%) and positive meningeal irritation signs (2 273 cases, 22.9%) were the 3 most common clinical manifestations, followed by nausea and (or) vomiting (2 095 cases, 21.1%), impaired consciousness (2 077 cases, 20.9%), psychiatric symptom (1 866 cases, 18.8%) and epilepsy (1 627 cases, 16.4%), etc., and cranial nerve involvement was found in 669 cases (6.7%). Major pathogens included viruses in 6 814 cases (68.7%), Mycobacterium tuberculosis in 1 677 cases (16.9%), common bacteria in 864 cases (8.7%), fungi in 254 cases (2.6%), spirochetes of syphilis in 183 cases (1.8%), parasites in 121 cases (1.2%), and rickettsiae in 5 cases (0.1%). Urban-rural distribution: slightly more cases were found in the countryside (5 418 cases, 54.6%) than in the towns (4 500 cases, 45.4%). Distribution of onset by season: 2 412 cases (24.3%) fell ill in spring, 2 835 cases (28.6%) in summer, 2 187 cases (22.1%) in fall, and 2 484 cases (25.0%) in winter. Health economics: the duration of hospitalization was 15 (8, 27) days, and the cost of hospitalization was 1.53 (0.91, 3.02)×10 000 yuan. Prognosis: 9 531 cases (96.1%) were cured or improved, and 92 cases (0.9%) died. Conclusions:The pathogens responsible for CNS infectious diseases are predominantly viruses. Although the incidence is slightly higher during the summer months, the overall seasonal pattern is not particularly pronounced. These infections are more commonly observed in young and middle-aged males and present with a diverse range of clinical manifestations, contributing to a significant disease burden.

Objective To explore the internal correlation mechanism among symptoms and influencing factors in first-ever subacute stroke patients.Methods A cross-sectional survey method was employed to conveniently select stroke patients hospitalized in a tertiary hospital in Guangdong Province from October 2022 to June 2023.Data were collected using a general information questionnaire,Symptom Experience Scale for Stroke Survivors,Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form,Acceptance of Illness Scale,Herth Hope Index,and the Memorial University of Newfoundland Scale of Happiness.Results A total of 316 stroke patients were included.The incidence of symptom burden ranged from 17.41％to 87.97％,with the core,bridge,and sentinel symptoms as decreased attention and restricted limb movements,restricted limb movements and decreased self-care ability,and limb weakness and delayed response,respectively.Age,stroke type,disease stage,self-care ability,fear of disease progression,hope level,and happiness level were predictive factors for symptom burden in patients.Mixed network analysis showed direct correlation between foot inversion and stroke type,fear of disease progression was directly associated with limb weakness and limb pain.Low mood was directly correlated with hope level and happiness level.Conclusion Symptoms in patients with first-episode subacute stroke are interrelated.Nurses should pay attention to the identification of core,bridge,and sentinel symptoms,understand the associations between symptoms and influencing factors,and provide comprehensive and personalized clinical symptom management strategies for patients.

Objective:To investigate the application value of laparoscopic-assisted total liver transplantation.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinical data of 9 pairs of donors and recipients who underwent laparoscopic-assisted total liver transplanta-tion in People′s Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from January to April 2024 were collected. Of the donors, there were 8 males and 1 female, aged (39±18)years and with body mass index (BMI) of (20±4)kg/m 2. Of the recipients, there were 7 males and 2 females, aged (41±13)years and with BMI of (24±4)kg/m 2. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD. Count data were described as absolute numbers. Results:(1) Surgical conditions. Of the 9 recipients, 7 recipients underwent laparoscopic-assisted total liver transplantation successfully, 1 recipient with severe portal hypertension converted to open surgery with reverse L-shaped incision due to the hemorrhage during the dissection of the first hepatic portal after completing liver mobilization under laparoscopy, and 1 recipient underwent trans-umbilical extension incision through the middle of the epigastric region due to the limited space for operation in the implantation of the donor liver. The total operation time for 7 recipients who successfully underwent laparoscopic-assisted total liver transplantation was (648±31)minutes, with a time of anhepatic phase of (57±5)minutes, the volume of intraoperative blood loss of (1 322±627)mL, the donor liver mass of (1 195±232)g, and the ratio of donor liver mass to recipient body mass of 1.86%±0.42%. The operation time for laparoscopic liver dissection and porta hepatis dissection in 8 recipients during surgery was (212±35)minutes. (2) Postoperative conditions. All 9 recipients recovered smoothly after surgery, without any vascular or biliary related complications, and the surgical incision recovered well. The duration of postoperative hospital stay of 7 recipients who successfully underwent laparoscopic-assisted total liver transplantation was (14.2±2.0)days. (3) Follow-up. All 9 recipients were followed up for 3 months after surgery. During the follow-up period, there was no vascular or bile duct related complication.Conclusion:Laparoscopic-assisted total liver transplantation can be applied to recipients who meet surgical conditions and achieve good short-term clinical efficacy.
