Aim To investigate the potential role and related mechanisms of protein phosphatase 2Cm(PP2Cm)overexpression in atorvastatin-induced insu-lin resistance.Methods Male C57BL/6J mice,fibro-blast growth factor 21 knockout(FGF21-KO)mice,and wildtype(WT)mice were raised for 12 weeks to construct models.Groups included atorvastatin,con-trol,atorvastatin+PP2Cm overexpression(OE),FGF21-KO+vehicle,FGF21-KO+PP2Cm OE,WT+vehicle,WT+PP2Cm OE.Body weight,fasting blood glucose levels,fasting insulin levels,and intraperitoneal glucose tolerance tests(IPGTT)were measured in 4,8 and 12 weeks.The concentrations of branched-chain a-mino acids(BCAA)in cells,tissues and serum,as well as the mRNA and protein expression of BCAA cat-abolic enzymes,were determined by qRT-PCR,Western blot and ELISA after atorvastatin treatment.Further-more,the effects of PP2Cm overexpression on these in-dicators were explored,and the FGF21 was verified in vivo and in vitro.Results Atorvastatin induced insu-lin resistance in mice,altered insulin,glucose tolerance and increased BCAA levels.PP2Cm overexpression mitigated these changes.In the Atorvastatin+PP2Cm OE group,FGF21 mRNA,protein and concentration were all significantly upregulated.Regardless of PP2Cm overexpression,the knockout of FGF21 signifi-cantly increased BCAA expression levels,both fasting insulin and blood glucose levels were significantly high-er than those in WT group.Conclusions FGF21 may be an important regulator of PP2Cm involved in atorv-astatin-induced insulin resistance.PP2Cm overexpres-sion alleviates the effects of atorvastatin-induced insulin resistance by regulating FGF21.

Objective:To investigate the current status and challenges of pediatric life support training in China and provide references for improving training quality.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted to collect data from pediatric life support training centers across the country，covering basic institutional information，training capacity and training faculty，training program funding，as well as existing challenges and issues.The domestic registry of training centers in 2023 was obtained through the American Heart Association's online platform.After contacting and verifying each center，an online questionnaire was distributed，and the aggregated data were statistically analyzed.Results:A total of 42 institutions participated in the survey，including 19 children's hospitals，14 general hospitals，6 maternal and child health hospitals，2 women and children’s hospitals，and 1 training institution.The distribution of training centers showed a concentration in coastal areas，with the top three provinces/municipalities being Guangdong（7/42，16.7%），Zhejiang（6/42，14.3%），and Shanghai（4/42，9.5%）.As of December 31 2023，the 42 institutions had an annual basic life support（BLS）training volume of 8 587 individuals，the median was 120 (100,200)，and an annual pediatric advanced life support（PALS）training volume of 2 448 individuals，the median was 30 (20,50).Among the 42 institutions，there were 598 BLS instructors and 306 PALS instructors.Among the surveyed institutions，24（24/42，57.1%）reported BLS instructor teams comprising fewer than 10 members，and 33（33/42，78.6%）reported PALS instructor teams comprising fewer than 10.Only 7 centers(7/42,16.7%）reported having dedicated funding support.The top three challenges were：training sessions occupying instructors’personal time（27/42，64.3%），low instructor compensation（16/42，38.1%），and issues with the data submission system（16/42，38.1%）.Conclusion:Pediatric life support training centers in China are primarily children’s hospitals，with a geographical concentration in coastal areas，which is also reflected in the distribution of training scale and instructor resources.Most centers have relatively small training scales and limited instructor capacity，with many instructors conducting training during their personal time.These issues may hinder the implementation and effectiveness of training programs.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of inferior gluteus maximus muscle-pedicled myocutaneous flap for reconstruction of stage Ⅳ ischial pressure sores.Methods:Clinical data of patients with stage Ⅳ ischial pressure sores treated between April 2020 and September 2023 at the First People’s Hospital of Yulin were retrospectively analyzed. Underlying comorbidities were treated preoperatively to assure surgical safety. Stage Ⅰ management involved radical debridement of infected tissue followed by vacuum sealing drainage (VSD). Stage Ⅱ reconstruction was performed after inflammation control. An inferior gluteus maximus-pedicled myocutaneous flap was designed laterally to the defect. The muscle component width exceeded the skin paddle width, with the distal muscle extending about 3 cm beyond the skin island. The flap was advanced medially in a V-Y fashion to cover the defect. The donor site was sutured in layers. Postoperative flap viability, wound healing, aesthetic outcomes, and pressure sores recurrence were assessed.Results:A total of 20 patients were included in this study. Among them, 14 were males and 6 were females. The age ranged from 27 to 72 years, with a mean age of 52.3 years. The body mass index (BMI) ranged from 17.8 to 31.3 kg/m 2, with a mean BMI of 21.0 kg/m 2. All had paraplegia secondary to spinal cord injury. Comorbidities included type 2 diabetes and (or) hypertension (10 cases) and ischial osteomyelitis (3 cases). Pressure sores duration ranged from 1 month to 3 years. Defect sizes were 3 cm×4 cm to 5 cm×10 cm (depth: 3-6 cm). Flap sizes matched defects (3 cm×4 cm to 5 cm×10 cm), with muscle dimensions of 2 cm×5 cm×9 cm to 3 cm×8 cm×15 cm. Postoperatively, all 20 flaps showed good blood supply without flap necrosis. The wound healing time ranged from 12 to 22 days (mean: 15 days). Seventeen cases achieved primary wound healing. The remaining three cases developed fat liquefaction at the donor sites, but their wounds eventually healed after dressing changes on postoperative days 18, 20, and 22, respectively. During follow-up (mean: 13 months, range: 6-34 months), the flaps maintained good texture with no recurrence. Conclusion:The inferior gluteus maximus muscle-pedicled myocutaneous flap provides sufficient bulk, simple design, and reliable transposition for dead-space obliteration and surface coverage in stage Ⅳ ischial pressure sores. This technique yields favorable aesthetics and low recurrence rates.

Objective:To culturally adapt the eHealth Literacy Questionnaire (eHLQ) into Chinese and validate its reliability and validity in stroke patients, so as to provide a basis for comprehensive evaluation of electronic health literacy in stroke patients.Methods:From May to September 2024, the Brislin translation model was adopted for translation, and the expert consultation was used for cultural adaptation. Followed by preliminary testing to finalize the Chinese version of eHLQ. A convenience sample of the stroke patients was recruited from Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University and Tianjin Huanhu Hospital between October 2024 to February 2025 to conduct a cross-sectional study and evaluate the scale's reliability and validity.Results:Finally, 415 stroke patients were included, with 284 males and 131 females, aged (61.26 ± 9.75) years. The Chinese eHLQ comprised 7 dimensions and 35 items. The item-level content validity index ranged from 0.875 to 1.000, and the scale-level content validity index of universal agreement was 0.857. Exploratory factor analysis revealed KMO value of 0.922, with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 68.90% and factor loading ranging from 0.515 to 0.803. Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated satisfactory model fit indices: χ2/ df was 1.639, incremental fit index was 0.913, Tucker-Lewis index was 0.902, comparative fit index was 0.912, goodness-of-fit index was 0.812, and root mean square error of approximation was 0.056. The overall Cronbach α coefficient was 0.941, with subscale Cronbach α ranging from 0.825 to 0.894. The test-retest reliability was 0.954. Conclusions:The Chinese version of the eHLQ exhibits excellent reliability and validity, serving as an effective tool for assessing eHealth literacy among stroke patients in China.
