Objective:This study was aimed to explore the preference and heterogeneity in community health management service model selection among older patients with multiple chronic diseases,and to provide scientific evidence for optimizing the model.Methods:A multi-stage stratified and convenience sampling approach was adopted.A discrete choice experiment was conducted with 360 elderly patients with multiple chronic diseases from six regions in Jiangsu Province.The Mixed Logit Model was used to analyze service selection preferences and willingness to pay,while the Latent Class Logit Model was applied to explore heterogeneity among patient groups.Results:Patients showed a stronger preference for a service model featuring"twice-monthly visits,medication guidance+lifestyle counseling,and face-to-face consultations,"with willingness to pay values of 170.18 CNY,162.90 CNY,and 112.70 CNY,respectively.Willingness to pay decreased as out-of-pocket costs increased.Heterogeneity analysis identified three distinct preference groups,with statistically significant differences in urban-rural distribution,income levels,and health insurance types.Conclusions and suggestions:Medication and lifestyle guidance are the most valued components of community health management services among older patients with multiple chronic diseases.Patients'demographic and socioeconomic characteristics have a structural influence on their service preferences,highlighting the need to tailor service provision to different population groups.It is recommended to enhance medication guidance capacity at the primary care level,especially in rural areas;promote physical medicine integration to improve the accuracy and effectiveness of lifestyle guidance provided by primary healthcare personnel;strengthen digital infrastructure and streamline service processes to moderately increase the frequency of face-to-face consultations;and improve the integration of medical insurance and public health funding mechanisms to enhance service accessibility and equity.

Objective:To explore a simple emergency management method for elderly patients with sigmoid volvulus.Methods:The clinical data of 22 elderly patients (>70 years) with sigmoid volvulus from January 2020 to March 2024 in the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were treated with a self-made simple closed-loop enema decompression kit. The abdominal circumference, white blood cell count and C-reactive protein (CRP) before treatment and 12 h after tube placement were measured. The patients were followed for 3 months, and the recurrence was recorded. The key indexes on recurrence, including age, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification and procedure time, were compared. Pearson correlation analysis was used to examine the relationship between age, procedure time, pain level and gas/stool output within 30 min after tube placement.Results:All 22 patients successfully underwent transanal tube decompression. The procedure time ranged from 1 to 15 min. The gas and stool output within 30 min after tube placement was 600 to 2 100 ml, The rectal tube was retained for 2 to 6 d. Compared with before treatment, the abdominal circumference, white blood cell count and CRP 12 h after tube placement were significantly lower: (85.9 ± 9.6) cm vs. (94.5 ± 10.2) cm, (9.2 ± 2.1) ×10 9/L vs. (11.4 ± 2.5) ×10 9/L and (27.8 ± 22.6) mg/L vs. (46.2 ± 38.9) mg/L, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01). Four patients underwent elective surgery, while 18 were discharged smoothly after tube removal. No death occurred within 1 month after treatment. Five patients experienced recurrence 3 months after treatment, all were successfully retreated using the same method and discharged. There were no statistical differences in recurrence rates between aged ≥80 years and aged < 80 years patients, ASA class ≥ Ⅳ and ASA class Ⅲ patients, or procedure times ≤5 min and procedure times >5 min patients ( P>0.05). The gas/stool output within 30 min after tube placement was positively correlated with pain level (moderate/severe vs. mild) before tube placement ( r = 215.50, P = 0.015), but showed no significant correlation with age or procedure time ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The self-made simple closed-loop enema decompression kit provides a straightforward, economical and minimally invasive emergency treatment method for elderly patients with sigmoid volvulus. For patients at very high surgical risk, this kit can achieve decompression and volvulus reposition, even in cases of recurrence.

Objective To establish a purification,enrichment and test method of tetrodotoxin in blood.Methods Through the investigation of various hydrophilic chromatographic columns,the comparison of extraction effects of different types of solid phase extraction columns and the interference analysis of mixed peaks on qualitative ion pairs,the matrix influence of tetrodotoxin was reduced,and the detection sensitivity and qualitative accuracy were improved.Results Tetrodotoxin is highly polar and easily inhibited by the matrix,while conventional precipitation protein method has low sensitivity and isomer double peaks,and the C18 column is not reserved.After comprehensive comparative analysis,the weak cation exchange column PWC column is finally used for purification and enrichment.Complete elution was achieved using 0.5 mL 10%formic acid and 50%acetonitrile aqueous solution.Seperation was performed on an Atlantis HILIC column,with qualitative ion pairs set at m/z,320.10>162.15 and 284.15.The detection limit of the method was 0.061 ng/mL.Conclusion The established PWC solid-phase extraction-LC/MS detection method demonstrates significant purification efficacy,minimal matrix influence,unobstructed chromatographic peaks,markedly improved detection sensitivity.This approach is operationally simple,and applicable to forensic casework.

Objective Advances in synthetic DNA technology have made it much easier to fake human DNA samples.There are literature reports that fake human DNA can be synthesized by different methods and implanted in the field to confuse the investigation or mislead the trial.Therefore,distinguishing authentic human DNA from synthetic DNA and performing individual identification has become a critical scientific challenge.Methods We define a novel composite genetic marker(methylation-microhaplotype)by combining CpG sites stably hypermethylated or hypomethylated in natural human DNA and nearby immediately adjacent microhaplotype sites.A total of 19 locis were obtained according to the screening criteria,and a composite detection system for methylation-microhaplotypes was established using MPS technology.Random volunteer DNA samples were extracted and synthetic DNA samples were prepared based on whole genome amplification techniques.Population DNA samples were analyzed to evaluate forensic parameters and methylation variability of the methylation-microhaplotype markers.Comparative analyses of human and synthetic DNA were conducted to assess the markers'ability to discriminate between the two and to detect/type both components in mixed mixed samples.Results The composite detection system composed of 19 locis demonstrated high individual identification ability,achieving a cumulative individual identification probability of 0.999 999 999 996 86.12 hypermethylated locis and 7 hypomethylated locis had relatively stable methylation levels in 57 human DNA samples.According to the allele methylation rate(Ram)value,the system can effectively identify natural and synthetic DNA samples.Meanwhile,for mixed DNA samples,the presence of human and synthetic DNA samples can be found and genotyped.Conclusion Methylation-microhaplotype genetic markers,which can discover human DNA and synthetic DNA and can detect the presence and genotyping of them from mixed samples,is a potential useful tool for forensic DNA analysis.

With the rapid development of competitive sports, the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is on the rise. Such injuries may shorten athletes′ career and lead to other long-term adverse consequences. Although athletes generally recover well after ACL reconstruction, many still struggle to return to their pre-injury performance levels. Advances in the understanding of ACL anatomy and injury mechanisms, along with the evolution of surgical techniques and rehabilitation methods, have provided more individualized and tailored options for athletes following ACL injuries. However, there is currently no consensus in China regarding surgical and rehabilitation strategies for competitive athletes aiming to return to sports after ACL injuries. To this end, the Sports Medicine Committee of the Chinese Research Hospital Association and the Editorial Board of the Chinese Journal of Trauma jointly formulated the Expert consensus on surgical treatment and rehabilitation for competitive sports athletes returning to sports after anterior cruciate ligament injury ( version 2025), and presented 14 recommendations covering surgical indications, preoperative rehabilitation, surgical timing, surgical strategies and postoperative rehabilitation strategies, aiming to improve the surgical treatment and rehabilitation system for ACL injuries in competitive athletes and facilitate their return to high-level sports performance after injury.

Readiness for Hospital Discharge(RHD)refers to a multidimensional assessment of a patient's ability to transition safely from hospital to home,encompassing physiological stability,psychological preparedness,and social support adequacy.For patients requiring Home Nutrition Support(HNS),discharge readiness is particularly critical due to their heightened need for post-discharge specialized care,which significantly influences long-term recovery and quality of life.This paper reviews the concept,influencing factors,and unmet needs of RHD in patients with HNS and proposes targeted strategies to enhance discharge preparedness.By addressing gaps in current practices,we aim to optimize RHD in this vulnerable population and provide clinicians with evidence-based guidance for developing effective discharge plans.

Protein tyrosine phosphatase nonreceptor type 2 (PTPN2) is a promising target for sensitizing solid tumors to immune checkpoint blockades. However, the highly polar active sites of PTPN2 hinder drug discovery efforts. Leveraging small interfering RNA (siRNA) technology, we developed a novel glutathione-responsive nano-platform HPssPT (HA/PEIss@siPtpn2) to silence PTPN2 and enhance immunotherapy efficacy in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HPssPT showed potent transfection and favorable safety profiles. PTPN2 deficiency induced by HPssPT amplified the interferon γ signaling in HCC cells by increasing the phosphorylation of Janus-activated kinase 1 and signal transducer and activator of transcription 1, resulting in enhanced antigen presentation and T cell activation. The nano-platform was also able to promote the M1-like polarization of macrophages in vitro. The unique tropism of HPssPT towards tumor-associated macrophages, facilitated by hyaluronic acid coating and CD44 receptor targeting, allowed for simultaneous reprogramming of both tumor cells and tumor-associated macrophages, thereby synergistically reshaping tumor microenvironment to an immunostimulatory state. In HCC, colorectal cancer, and melanoma animal models, HPssPT monotherapy provoked robust antitumor immunity, thereby sensitizing tumors to PD-1 blockade, which provided new inspiration for siRNA-based drug discovery and tumor immunotherapy.

Bongkrekic acid(BA)is a toxin with stable properties and no distinctive smell.It exists in common foods such as fermented edible grain products,potato products,spoiled tremella fuciformis and auricularia polytricha,as well as auricularia polytricha that has been soaked too long.It can easily cause food poisoning.At present,there is still a lack of complete method to detect BA,and no spe-cific antidote of BA has been found.Therefore,BA poisoning is easy to be misdiagnosed or missed diagnosed,and its mortality rate remains high.In recent years,studies have revealed the toxic mecha-nism of BA and found that BA can inactivate some enzymes containing thiol groups(-SH)and in-hibit the synthesis and transport of adenosine triphosphate(ATP),causing damage to liver,kidney,brain and other parenchymal organs.This article reviews the autopsy cases and literature of deaths caused by BA poisoning at home and abroad,systematically summarizes the epidemiology,clinical manifestations,pathological changes,toxicological mechanisms,detection methods,forensic diagnostic key points and challenges of BA in forensic medicine,with the aim of providing a reference for foren-sic identification of related cases.
