Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs in the glandular epithelium of the breast, and it is one of the most common tumors that seriously affect the physical and mental health of women. With the aggravation of population aging, the incidence of breast cancer in the elderly has increased year by year in recent years. Elderly patients with breast cancer often have a variety of underlying diseases, and their prognosis is usually related to many factors such as cancer staging, cancer classification, treatment status and health status, with a significant difference in survival rate among patients. Due to the unique clinical and pathological characteristics of elderly patients with breast cancer compared to young and middle-aged patients, there are many studies on the treatment of elderly breast cancer patients in the past, and there are few reviews on the influencing factors of prognosis in elderly patients. This paper reviews the research progress of influencing factors of prognosis in elderly patients with breast cancer from the aspects of clinicopathological factors, treatment options and prognosis factors, in order to provide a reference for clinical determination of treatment options for elderly patients with breast cancer in the future.

To explore the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） and integrative TCM-Western medicine approaches in the treatment of diabetic microvascular complications （DMC）， refine key pathophysiological insights and treatment principles， and promote academic innovation and strategic research planning in the prevention and treatment of DMC. The 38th session of the Expert Salon on Diseases Responding Specifically to Traditional Chinese Medicine， hosted by the China Association of Chinese Medicine， was held in Beijing， 2024. Experts in TCM， Western medicine， and interdisciplinary fields convened to conduct a systematic discussion on the pathogenesis， diagnostic and treatment challenges， and mechanism research related to DMC， ultimately forming a consensus on key directions. Four major research recommendations were proposed. The first is addressing clinical bottlenecks in the prevention and control of DMC by optimizing TCM-based evidence evaluation systems. The second is refining TCM core pathogenesis across DMC stages and establishing corresponding "disease-pattern-time" framework. The third is innovating mechanism research strategies to facilitate a shift from holistic regulation to targeted intervention in TCM. The fourth is advancing interdisciplinary collaboration to enhance the role of TCM in new drug development， research prioritization， and guideline formulation. TCM and integrative approaches offer distinct advantages in managing DMC. With a focus on the diseases responding specifically to TCM， strengthening evidence-based support and mechanism interpretation and promoting the integration of clinical care and research innovation will provide strong momentum for the modernization of TCM and the advancement of national health strategies.

Objective To explore the influence of the medical and health management model based on artificial intelligence (AI) on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) combined with masked hypertension (MH). Methods A total of 342 patients with T2DM admitted to the hospital from May 2021 to August 2024 were selected as research subjects, and the incidence rate of MH was counted. All patients were classified into the reference group (routine management) and the study group (AI+medical health management) according to the random number table method, with 171 cases in each group. The self-management, glycolipid metabolism and ambulatory blood pressure were compared between both groups before and after intervention. Results Among the 342 patients with T2DM, MH occurred in 34 cases, with an incidence rate of 9.94% (34/342). The self-management ability in the two groups was improved after 6 months and 12 months of intervention, and the self-management ability was higher in the study group (P<0.05). After 6 months and 12 months of intervention, the glucolipid metabolism indexes in both groups were optimized, and the improvements in the study group were greater (P<0.05). The daytime average systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure, 24 h average systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were decreased in both groups after 6 months and 12 months of intervention, and the study group showed lower indexes (P<0.05). Conclusion T2DM are prone to MH. AI medical and health chronic disease management can enhance patients' self-management ability, help improve glucose and lipid metabolism, lower blood pressure, and help reduce the risk of MH.

OBJECTIVE To explore the antidepressant mechanism of Wenyang jieyu granules （WYJYG） via the NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3 （NLRP3）/apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD （ASC）/Caspase-1 pathway. METHODS A rat model of depression was established by chronic unpredictable mild stress combined with single-housing for 42 consecutive days.The experiment set up blank group， model group， MCC950 （NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor） group （10 mg/kg）， fluoxetine group （positive control，2.08 mg/kg），low-dose WYJYG（3.78 g/kg） and high-dose WYJYG group （7.56 g/kg），with 10 rats in each group. From the 22nd day of the experiment， rats in the fluoxetine group， low-dose and high-dose WYJYG groups were intragastrically administered with the corresponding drugs and intraperitoneally injected with an equal volume of normal saline. Rats in the MCC950 group were intraperitoneally injected with MCC950 at the corresponding concentration and intragastrically administered with an equal volume of distilled water. Rats in the blank group and model group were given an equal volume of distilled water by gavage and an equal volume of normal saline by intraperitoneal injection. All interventions were performed once a day for 21 consecutive days. Behavioral tests were conducted once a week. After the last administration， the contents of ASC， ionized calcium binding adaptor molecule 1 （Iba1）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， and IL-18 in hippocampal tissues were detected. The protein expressions of NLRP3， cluster of differentiation 68 （CD68）， Caspase-1， B-cell lymphoma-2 （Bcl-2）， and Bcl-2-associated X protein were determined， and neuronal apoptosis was observed. RESULTS After the last administration， compared with the model group， the open-field activity time was significantly prolonged （ P ＜0.05）， and the latency to feed in a novel environment was significantly shortened （ P ＜0.05） in rats of the high-dose WYJYG group. In hippocampal tissue， the contents of ASC， Iba1， IL-1β， and IL-18， as well as the protein expression levels of NLRP3， Caspase-1， and CD68， and the positive rate of neuronal apoptosis were all significantly decreased/downregulated （ P ＜0.05）. Bcl-2 protein expression was significantly upregulated （ P ＜0.05）， and the density of neuronal apoptosis-positive cells was significantly reduced （ P ＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS WYJYG play on antidepressant role by inhibiting the NLRP3/ASC/Caspase-1 pathway， reducing microglia-mediated neuroinflammation， and inhibiting hippocampal neurons apoptosis.

BACKGROUND:The micro/nanostructured gradient biomimetic surface of implant materials can simulate the structure of the extracellular environment in human bone tissue,thereby achieving perfect bone integration function.However,further research is needed on the mechanisms by which the surface microstructure of bone implant materials regulates cell function and promotes osteogenesis. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the effect of titanium sheet microstructure surface on osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts. METHODS:(1)At a constant voltage of 5 V or 20 V,nanotube arrays of different diameters were prepared on the surface of titanium sheets by acid etching and anodic oxidation techniques,and were recorded as group R5 and group R20,respectively.The surface morphology,roughness,and hydrophilicity of pure titanium sheet(without acid etching or anodizing treatment)were measured in group R5 and group R20.(2)MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts of logarithmic growth stage were inoculated on the surface of pure titanium sheets,R5 group and R20 group respectively.After 24 hours of osteogenic induction culture,the expression of mechanical sensitive channel protein 1 was analyzed by RT-PCR and immunofluorescence staining.Osteoblast inducible base with or without the mechanosensitive channel protein 1 activator Yada1 was added,and alkaline phosphatase staining was performed after 7 days of culture.Alizarin red staining was performed after 14 days of culture. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The surface of pure titanium sheets was smooth under scanning electron microscope.Relatively uniform and orderly nanotube arrays with average diameters of about 30 nm and 100 nm were observed on the surface of titanium sheets of groups R5 and R20,respectively.The results of scanning electron microscope were further verified by atomic force microscopy.The surface roughness of titanium sheet of group R5 was higher than that of pure titanium(P<0.05),and the water contact angle was lower than that of pure titanium(P<0.05).The surface roughness of titanium sheet in group R20 was higher than that in group R5(P<0.05),and the water contact angle was lower than that in group R5(P<0.05).(2)RT-PCR and immunofluorescence staining showed that the expression of mechanosensitive channel protein 1 in group R5 was higher than that in pure titanium group(P<0.05),and the expression of mechanosensitive channel protein 1 in group R20 was higher than that in group R5(P<0.05).Under the osteogenic induction,compared with the condition without Yada1,there were no significant changes in the activity of alkaline phosphatase and the deposition of calcified nodules in pure titanium group after Yada1 addition,while the activity of alkaline phosphatase and the deposition of calcified nodules in groups R5 and R20 after Yada1 addition were significantly increased(P<0.05).With or without Yada1,the alkaline phosphatase activity and calcified nodule deposition in group R5 were higher than those in pure titanium group(P<0.05),and the alkaline phosphatase activity and calcified nodule deposition in group R20 were higher than those in group R5(P<0.05).(3)The results show that the surface microstructure of titanium sheet can promote the osteogenic differentiation of osteoblast MC3T3-E1 by activating mechanosensitive channel protein 1.

Objective To investigate the specific molecular mechanism through which microRNA-4488(miR-4488)regulates the proliferation,migration and invasion capabilities of glioblastoma(GBM)by modula-ting the expression level of scratch family transcriptional repressor 1(SCRT1).Methods Quantitative real-time PCR(qPCR)was performed to measure the expression levels of miR-4488 and SCRT1 in astrocyte SVG cells and GBM U87MG cells.Transient transfection was used to introduce miR-4488 mimic nc(mimic control group),miR-4488 mimic(mimic group),miR-4488 inhibitor nc(inhibitor control group),and miR-4488 inhib-itor(inhibitor group)into U87MG cells,which were then divided into four groups accordingly.Lentiviral transfection was used to establish U87MG cell lines transfected with SCRT1 empty vector(control group)and SCRT1 overexpression plasmid(overexpression group).Bioinformatics analysis was performed to identify and validate the binding site sequence between miR-4488 and SCRT1,and the dual-luciferase reporter gene as-say was conducted to verify their targeting relationship.The EdU assay was employed to assess cell prolifera-tion capacity,while the Transwell assay was used to analyze differences in migratory and invasive capacities a-mong groups.Results Compared with SVG cells,miR-4488 expression was upregulated(P＜0.001)and SCRT1 expression was downregulated in U87MG cells(P＜0.001).After transient transfection with miR-4488 mimic,the expression of SCRT1 in the mimic group decreased compared to the mimic control group,with no significant change in proliferative capacity(P＞0.05),but enhanced migration and invasion abilities(P＜0.01 and P＜0.001,respectively).Conversely,after transfection with miR-4488 inhibitor,the expression of SCRT1 in the inhibitor group increased compared to the inhibitor control group,with no significant change in proliferative capacity(P＞0.05),but weakened migration and invasion abilities(P＜0.01 and P＜0.001,re-spectively).The dual-luciferase reporter gene assay confirmed that SCRT1 is a target of miR-4488 in U87MG cells.The SCRT1 overexpression group showed reduced migration and invasion abilities compared to the con-trol group(P＜0.01 and P＜0.001,respectively).Conclusion MiR-4488 can specifically regulate the expres-sion of SCRT1 to affect the migration and invasion characteristics of GBM.

Objective This study aimed to explore the correlation and differences between invasive blood pressure(IBP)measured through the radial artery and non-invasive blood pressure(NIBP)measured through brachial artery in middle-aged and elderly patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.Methods A total of 226 middle-aged and elderly percutaneous coronary intervention patients who underwent IBP and NIBP measurement in the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine of this hospital from April 2023 to April 2024 were selected as the research subjects.The systolic blood pressure(SBP)and diastolic blood pres-sure(DBP)of IBP and NIBP were recorded,and the correlation and consistency of blood pressure values be-tween IBP and NIBP were analyzed.Results Pearson correlation analysis showed that there was a positive correlation between SBP of IBP and SBP of NIBP(r=0.755,P＜0.001)and between DBP of IBP and DBP of NIBP(rs=0.803,P＜0.001).Further analysis of the difference in blood pressure values measured by NIBP and IBP revealed that the difference between SBP of NIBP and SBP of IBP was(-21.19±26.29)mmHg,with a 95％limit of agreement(LoA)of-47.50-5.11 mmHg;The difference between DBP of NIBP and DBP of IBP was(0.27±14.38)mmHg,with a 95％LoA of-14.10-14.65 mmHg.There were correlations between SBP and DBP measured by IBP and NIBP,respectively,in both male and female patients,with corre-lation coefficients≥0.73,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.001).There were correla-tions between SBP and DBP measured by IBP and NIBP,respectively,in both the age＜60 years group and age≥60 years group,with correlation coefficients≥0.73,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.001).Conclusion During coronary artery surgery,there is a positive correlation of blood pressure val-ues between IBP and NIBP in middle-aged and elderly patients.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the mean platelet volume(MPV)to platelet count(PLT)ratio(MPV/PLT),blood urea nitrogen(BUN)to lipoprotein a[Lp(a)]ratio[BUN/Lp(a)]and the prognosis of patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).Methods A total of 106 patients with acute exacerbation of COPD admitted to the hospital from January 2021 to January 2024 were selected as the research objects.According to the prognosis,they were divided into sur-vival group(72 cases)and death group(34 cases).The results of routine laboratory tests,blood lipid and lipo-protein levels were compared between the two groups.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of death in patients with acute exacerbation of COPD.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of MPV/PLT and BUN/Lp(a)for the prognosis of pa-tients with acute exacerbation of COPD.Results Compared with the survival group,the invasive ventilation rate,acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHE Ⅱ)score,C reactive protein(CRP),white blood cell count(WBC),MPV,BUN,MPV/PLT and BUN/Lp(a)were significantly increased in the death group(P＜0.05).The non-invasive ventilation rate,lymphocyte count,PLT and Lp(a)levels were signifi-cantly decreased(P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that APACHE Ⅱ score,CRP,WBC,lymphocyte count,MPV,PLT,MPV/PLT,BUN,Lp(a)and BUN/Lp(a)were the influencing factors of death in patients with acute exacerbation of COPD(P＜0.05).ROC curve results showed that the sensitivity and specificity of MPV/PLT combined with BUN/Lp(a)for predicting the prognosis of patients with acute exacerbation of COPD were 88.2％and 84.7％,respectively,and the area under curve was 0.887.Conclusion MPV/PLT and BUN/Lp(a)are closely related to the prognosis of patients with acute exacerbation of COPD.The combination of MPV/PLT and BUN/Lp(a)has a high predictive value for the prognosis of patients.

Objective To systematically analyze the clinical advantageous diseases and core acupoint combinations of Jin's Three-Needle Therapy,providing data support for its broader clinical application.Methods The relevant literature from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),Wanfang Academic Journal Full-text Database,VIP Chinese Sci-Tech Journal Database,and China Biology Medicine(CBM)database were retrieved,covering all publications since the establishment of Jin's Three-Needle Therapy.A database of acupoint combinations was constructed,and statistical analyses were performed using SPSS Modeler,Cytoscape,Review Manager,Stata,and R software to evaluate literature quality,sensitivity,disease spectrum,therapeutic efficacy,high-frequency acupoint combinations,association rules,and combined therapies.Results A total of 228 eligible studies were included.The results indicate that Jin's Three-Needle Therapy has been applied to 11 disease categories and 63 specific conditions,with post-stroke hemiplegia and autism spectrum disorder identified as its primary advantageous diseases.The Temporal Three-Needle and Four-Spirit Needle emerged as the core acupoint combinations.The overall clinical efficacy rate reached 91.1％,and the therapy was frequently combined with rehabilitation training.Conclusion The unique three-needle prescription pattern of Jin's Three-Needle Therapy demonstrates significant clinical advantages.However,potential publication bias may exist,and further exploration is needed to elucidate its mechanisms and optimize clinical efficacy.

Intervention in chronically activated microglia-mediated neuroinflammation is a novel approach to treat Alzheimer's disease (AD). The low permeability of the blood‒brain barrier (BBB) and non-selective distribution in the brain severely restrict AD drugs' disease-modifying efficacy. Here, an immunosuppressant TREM2-lowing antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) and resveratrol co-loaded cationic liposome is developed as an immune reprogramming nanomodulator modified by acid-cleavable BBB-targeting peptide and microglia-targeting peptide (Res@TcMNP/ASO) for AD management. Res@TcMNP/ASO can enter brain endothelial cells via D-T7 peptides. Then D-T7 undergoes an acid-responsive cleavage, facilitating the escape of Res@MNP/ASO from endo/lysosomes to cross the BBB. The detached Res@MNP/ASO specifically targets M1-phenotype microglia via exposed MG1 peptides to prompt the simultaneous delivery of two drugs into activated microglia. This nanomodulator can not only restore the immune function of microglia through TREM2-lowing ASO but also mitigate the immune stimulation to microglia caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) through resveratrol, thereby synergistically inhibiting the chronic activation of microglia to alleviate neuroinflammation in AD. Our results indicate that this combination treatment can achieve significant behavioral and cognitive improvements in late APP/PS1 mice.
