This paper systematically reviews the current status of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori （Hp） infection， as well as recent progress in clinical and basic research both in China and internationally. It summarizes the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） in Hp infection management， including improving Hp eradication rates， enhancing antibiotic sensitivity， reducing antimicrobial resistance， decreasing drug-related adverse effects， and ameliorating gastric mucosal lesions. These advantages are particularly evident in patients who are intolerant to bismuth-containing regimens， those with refractory Hp infection， and individuals with precancerous gastric lesions. An integrated， whole-process management approach and individualized， staged comprehensive treatment strategies combining TCM and western medicine are proposed for Hp infection. Future prevention and control of Hp infection should adopt an integrative Chinese-western medical strategy， emphasizing prevention， strengthening primary care， implementing proactive long-term monitoring， optimizing screening strategies， and advancing the development of novel technologies and mechanistic studies of Chinese herbal interventions. These efforts aim to provide a theoretical basis and practical pathways for the establishment and improvement of Hp infection prevention and control systems.

Objective To analyze the relationship between cognitive function, motor ability and the risk of falls in patients during the rehabilitation period after stroke. Methods A total of 330 patients with stroke who received rehabilitation treatment in the hospital from February 2022 to February 2025 were classified into fall group (n=105) and non-fall group (n=225) based on the occurrence of falls during rehabilitation period. The clinical data of patients were collected, and the motor function of patients was evaluated by Fugl-Meyer scale, and the cognitive function of patients was assessed by mini-mental state examination (MMSE). Univariate and logistic multivariate regression analyses were applied to analyze the factors affecting the occurrence of falls. Spearman correlation analysis was performed to analyze the relationship between motor ability, cognitive function and risk of falls. Results The proportions of osteoporosis, malnutrition, sleep disorder and history of falls in the fall group were higher while the education level, Fugl-Meyer score and MMSE score were lower compared to the non-fall group (P<0.05). After logistic multivariate analysis, it was found that osteoporosis, malnutrition, sleep disorder, history of falls, low education level, low Fugl-Meyer score and low MMSE score were risk factors for falls in patients during post-stroke rehabilitation period (P<0.05). Correlation analysis indicated that the motor ability and cognitive function in patients during post-stroke rehabilitation period were negatively associated with the occurrence of falls (r=-0.579, -0.438, P<0.001). Conclusion The cognitive function, motor ability of patients in the post-stroke rehabilitation period are closely related to the risk of falls. Clinically, the risk of falls in patients during post-stroke rehabilitation period can be reduced by improving the motor ability and cognitive function.

Objective:To explore the application effect of virtual reality technology in preoperative anxiety of patients with hand trauma, aiming to improve the negative psychological state of patients before surgery.Methods:A prospective non-randomized controlled trial was conducted. A convenience sampling method was used to select 116 patients with hand trauma who underwent surgical treatment at Wuxi Ninth People′s Hospital from January 2022 to December 2023 as the research subjects. They were divided into an intervention group and a control group according to the treatment time, with 58 cases in each group. The control group received routine nursing intervention, while the intervention group received nursing intervention based on virtual reality technology in addition to the routine care. The preoperative anxiety, uncertainty of illness and subjective well-being of the two groups were compared before and after the intervention.Results:Three cases dropped out in the control group and six in the intervention group, with 55 and 52 patients completing the study in the control and intervention groups, respectively. In the control group, there were 29 males and 26 females, with an age of (40.60 ± 2.09) years. In the intervention group, there were 32 males and 20 females, with an age of (41.27 ± 10.55) years. After the intervention, the scores of the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale and the Uncertainty in Illness Scale in the intervention group were 52.81 ± 5.47 and 62.87 ± 4.26, respectively, which were lower than those in the control group 58.20 ± 7.29 and 67.41 ± 4.15, with statistically significant differences ( t=-4.31, -5.60, both P<0.05). The Index Well-Being score of the intervention group was 7.17 ± 1.15, higher than that of the control group 6.09 ± 0.57, with a statistically significant difference ( t=6.19, P<0.05). Conclusions:Virtual reality technology can effectively alleviate preoperative anxiety, reduce the uncertainty of illness and enhance subjective well-being in patients with hand trauma, which is beneficial to the physical and mental health of patients.

This study was aimed at investigating the effectiveness of various host nucleic acid removal and non-specific amplifica-tion techniques in animal tissue samples,to increase the accuracy of pathogen identification in tissue samples.Simulated samples were prepared with a mixture of mouse lung tissue homogenates and Klebsiella pneumoniae fluids,and processed with six host nucleic acid removal kits and three non-specific amplification techniques.The effectiveness of each method in removing host DNA and enriching nucleic acids of pathogenic microorganisms was evaluated through real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and high-throughput se-quencing.For host nucleic acid removal techniques,the method of selective cleavage and quantitative degradation of host DNA(Com-plete5 kit)effectively decreased the host nucleic acid content in tissue samples and increased the relative abundance of pathogen nucleic acids.In contrast,the magnetic bead method for host DNA removal(Next microbiome DNA enrichment Kit kit)was less effec-tive.At lower pathogen concentrations(77 CFU/mL),the Vazyme kit was more effective than the other kits in removing host nucleic acids.Non-specific amplification techniques(MALBAC whole genome amplification,MDA isothermal amplification,and random primer amplification)were not applicable to tissue samples and were not effective in increasing the relative abundance of pathogen nucleic acids.Selective lysis and quantitative degradation of host DNA were suitable for processing tissue samples with high host back-ground and low pathogenic microorganism levels,whereas non-specific amplification methods were not applicable to tissue samples for pre-processing of macro-genome high-throughput sequencing.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most common and severe nephropathy syndromes in clinical practice and also one of the most common serious complications after organ transplantation, with high incidence and fatality. Iron is an essential trace element in the body. Ferroptosis is a form of programmed cell death induced by the accumulation of iron-mediated lipid peroxidation, and its occurrence is closely related to iron metabolism, lipid metabolism, amino acid metabolism and multiple signaling pathways. Recent studies have shown that ferroptosis plays a key role in the occurrence and development of AKI and provides therapeutic targets for AKI. This article summarizes the regulatory mechanism of ferroptosis and its role in AKI, as well as the compounds that play an important role in the prevention and treatment of AKI by inhibiting ferroptosis, providing new ideas for the future treatment and research of AKI.
