OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of potentially inappropriate medication （PIM） among the elderly in nursing homes in Urumqi based on three PIM screening tools， and to compare the applicability of different tools. METHODS A cross-sectional study design was adopted. Elderly individuals from six nursing homes in Urumqi were selected as the research subjects from May 2021 to September 2023. Demographic characteristics， disease burden and medication records of the elderly were collected. PIM screening was performed using the Chinese PIM criteria （2024 edition）， the American Geriatrics Society （AGS） Beers criteria （2023 edition）， and the Screening Tool of Older Person’S Prescriptions（STOPP）/Screening Tool to Alert to Right Treatment（START） （2023 edition）. Fleiss’s Kappa test was used to assess the consistency among the three screening tools， and multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of PIM. RESULTS The prevalence of PIM screened by the Chinese PIM criteria was 47.4% （323/682）， by the AGS Beers criteria was 43.4% （296/682）， and by the STOPP criteria was 50.9% （347/682）. The consistency among the three screening tools was low （Fleiss’s Kappa＝0.12， P ＜0.001）. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that all three screening tools indicated that polypharmacy， aspirin use and psychotropic drug use were independent risk factors for PIM among elderly in nursing houses （all OR＞1， P ＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of PIM among the elderly in nursing homes in Urumqi is relatively high. Polypharmacy， aspirin use and psychotropic drug use are common independent risk factors for PIM. There are differences in screening results among the three tools with low consistency. The Chinese PIM criteria can serve as a first-line tool for PIM screening in nursing homes.

Objective: To explore the relationship of non suicidal self injury (NSSI) with anhedonia and dysfunctional attitudes in children and adolescents with depression, in order to provide a basis for the prevention and treatment of NSSI patients. Methods: A total of 157 children and adolescents with depression admitted to Wuhan Psychosomatic Hospital from February 2023 to February 2025 were enrolled and divided into an NSSI group(36 cases) and a non NSSI group (121 cases), according to the diagnostic criteria of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition. The Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form (CTQ-SF) Chinese version of Dimensional Anhedonia Rating Scale (DARS) and the Chinese version of Dysfunctional Attitude Scale-A (DAS-A) were utilized to evaluate the childhood trauma, anhedonia and dysfunctional attitude scores, respectively. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship between NSSI and DARS, DAS-A scores. Multivariable Logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the relationship of NSSI with childhood trauma, DARS and DAS-A scores in children and adolescents with depression. Results: The incidence rate of NSSI of children and adolescents was 22.93%. The proportions of childhood trauma and major depression in NSSI group (58.33% and 61.11%) were higher than those in non NSSI group (35.54% and 41.32%), with statistical differences ( χ 2=5.79, 4.38, both P <0.05). The total score of DAS-A with (188.41±35.27) in NSSI group was higher than in non NSSI group (140.21±30.62), while the scores across DARS dimensions (hobbies, food/drinks, social activities, sensory experiences) and total DARS score (5.37±1.22, 6.96±1.48, 7.13±2.02, 12.06±3.15, 30.19±7.43) were significantly lower than those in the non NSSI group (9.04±2.25, 10.16±2.43, 10.97±2.62, 14.51±4.08, 44.16±12.51),with statistical differences ( t =8.00, -9.37, -7.49, -8.10, -3.32, -6.37, all P <0.01). The NSSI in children and adolescents with depression was positively correlated with childhood trauma, severity of depression and DAS-A total score, and negatively correlated with DARS total score ( r =0.21, 0.63, 0.54, -0.50, all P <0.05). After adjusting for severity of depression, multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that childhood trauma, total scores of DARS and DAS-A were all correlated factors for the occurrence of NSSI in children and adolescents with depression ( OR =1.52, 1.48, 1.96, all P <0.05). Conclusion The risk of NSSI in children and adolescents with depression is relatively high, and NSSI is closely related to anhedonia, dysfunctional attitudes and childhood trauma.

Objective:To analyze changes of donor corneal endothelial cell density (ECD) and morphology from eye bank before and after keratolasty and the influencing factors.Methods:An observational case series study was performed.A total of 118 donor corneas, retrieved by the Shandong Province Eye Bank between July 2020 and June 2021 for penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) and endothelial keratoplasty (EK) were included.Among them, 99 corneas (83.90%) were used for PKP, and 19(16.10%) for EK.The basic information of donors and the results of corneal quality tests were analyzed and compared with ECD measured by endothelial microscopy one month after keratolasty.Morphological changes in endothelial cells before and after surgery were observed, and factors influencing corneal ECD and morphology were analyzed.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Shandong Eye Hospital (No.SDSYKYY20170319).Written informed consent was obtained from each subject.Results:Among the 99 donor corneas for PKP, there were statistically significant differences in preoperative donor corneal ECD and 1-month postoperative ECD of implant among different age groups ( F=18.136, 5.936; both P<0.01), which were lower in the 31-60-year-old group and the >60-year-old group than in the 0-30-year-old group and higher in the 31-60-year-old group than in the >60-year-old group, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.01).There were statistically significant differences in the preoperative donor corneal ECD among different donor cause of death groups ( F=4.524, P<0.01), which was higher in the traumatic accident group compared to the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease group, chronic organ failure group and malignant tumor group (all P<0.01).The preoperative donor ECD in the death-tissue retrieval time ≤6 hours group was (2 577.66±284.63)cells/mm 2, which was higher than (2 372.46±399.75)cells/mm 2 in the death-tissue retrieval time >6 hours group, with a statistically significant difference ( t=2.289, P<0.05).There were statistically significant differences in 1-month postoperative ECD among the preservation-surgery time ≤3 days, 3-6 days, and >6 days groups ( F=6.201, P<0.01), with higher ECD in preservation-surgery time ≤3 days groups than in 3-6 days and >6 days groups (both P<0.01).The preoperative donor corneal ECD applied to EK was significantly higher than that applied to PKP ( t=-2.660, P<0.01).ECD at 1 month after surgery applied to PKP was significantly higher than that applied to EK ( t=4.286, P<0.01).The ECD reduction rate was 7.14% (0.01%, 17.69%) and 31.07% (22.11%, 45.86%) in PKP group and EK group, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( Z=4.969, P<0.01).The ECD was lower in the group with dark area than in the non-dark area group before PKP, with a statistically significant difference ( t=6.789, P=0.011).There was no significant difference in ECD at 1 month after keratoplasty between the two groups ( t=0.005, P=0.945).Multivariate logistic regression model results showed that preservation-surgery time >6 days and the cause of donor death being malignant tumor were risk factors for the appearance of dark areas in donor corneal endothelium ( OR=9.038, P=0.030; OR=6.577, P=0.018). Conclusions:The older the donor, the lower the ECD.Prolonged preservation-surgery time (>6 days) is the main factor contributing to the decline in ECD after keratolasty.Compared to PKP, there is a higher endothelial cell loss after EK.The tissue preservation-surgery time >6 days and the cause of donor death being malignant tumor are the main risk factors affecting the appearance of dark areas in the donor corneal endothelium.But the presence of physiological dark areas does not significantly influence the ECD after surgery.

Objective:To investigate the factors affecting ferric chloride(FeCl3)-induced carotid artery thrombosis model experiment.Methods:After the common carotid artery was damaged by FeCl3,the injured vessels were dissected for fixation,embedding,frozen section,and then processed HE staining.The carotid thrombus area ratio was calculated.We examined the effect of FeCl3 concentration(5％,10％and 15％),reaction time(2,4 and 6 min),and recipient mouse age(4-5,6-8 and 10 weeks)on the formation and stability of arterial thrombosis model.The model was injected through the post-glomus venous plexus of mouse eyeball with 0.075 μg/g and 0.1 μg/g R300 to verify the accuracy of the FeCl3-induced model on thrombus formation by adjusting the platelet number.Results:HE staining showed that thrombus formation induced by 10％and 15％FeCl3 was more stable,dense and larger than 5％FeCl3-induced thrombosis.10％FeCl3 induced the formation of dense and large thrombosis after 4 and 6 minutes of vascular endothelium injury,while the thrombosis induced for 2 minutes were looser and smaller in area.Mouse age can not affect thrombus formation and stability,because there were no significant differences in the formation of dense thrombus and thrombus area induced by 10％FeCl3 among three different age groups of mice.Conclusion:Many factors affect the formation and stability of arterial thrombosis model induced by FeCl3.This optimal experimental conditions for construction of a stable carotid artery thrombosis model are 10％FeCl3,4 minutes for injury,and 6-8 week old mice.

Objective:To develop a self-efficacy scale of milk donation and test its reliability and validity, in order to provide a scientific evaluation tool for the corresponding study.Methods:According to Bandura′s self-efficacy theory and consensus-based standards for the selection of health measurement instruments, the scale was developed by means of literature search, article pool establishment and expert letter consultation. A pre-survey was conducted on 30 newborn bereaved women, a formal investigation was conducted on 231 newborn bereaved women, and 115 newborn bereaved women were selected for exploratory factor analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed on 116 parturients with neonatal loss to determine the reliability and validity of the scale.Results:The final scale includes 3 dimensions and 13 items. Three common factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis, and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 77.962%. A scale with three dimensions, included breast milk donation resilience, breast milk donation cognition and breast milk donation motivation, and 13 items was determined. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the model fit of the scale was good ( χ2/ df = 1.390, RMSEA = 0.063, RMR = 0.046, NFI = 0.924, NNFI = 0.971, GFI = 0.924, CFI = 0.977). The content validity index was 0.835. Cronbach′s α coefficient of the total volume table was 0.919, and the coefficients of each dimension were 0.892, 0.905 and 0.844, respectively. The broken half reliability of the scale was 0.893, and the broken half reliability of each dimension was 0.857, 0.881 and 0.711, respectively. The retest reliability of the scale was 0.814, and the retest reliability of each dimension was 0.803, 0.825 and 0.767, respectively. Conclusions:The scale has good reliability and validity, and can be used to evaluate the self-efficacy of milk donation in lost newborns.

Coronary artery calcification often appears a variety of complex lesions,increasing coronary intervention of the difficulty of treatment,especially the severe calcification lesions,usually cannot be fully dilated,resulting in a reduced success rate of surgery,an increased rate of acute stent thrombosis and restenosis,and even a serious impact on the prognosis of patients.Intravascular lithotripsy(IVL)is increasingly used in calcified lesions.There is more and more evidence of using in stable angina pectoris and unstable angina pectoris,but its use in acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction is limited,and only a few cases have been reported abroad.Moreover,the consensus of Chinese experts in the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery calcification in 2021 edition lists thrombotic lesions as contraindications of shock wave balloon.This case is the first time in China to report the use of shock wave balloon in patients with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction complicated with thrombus.In this case,the patient with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction complicated with thrombus was severely under expanded stent after stent implantation,and obtain good curative effect using shockwave balloon at selected time in hospital after intensive anticoagulant therapy.

This research aims to construct a stable epithelial cell senescence model for screening and e-valuation of senolytics.We explored the optimal conditions for doxorubicin-induced senescence of non-transformed epithelial cells MCF 10A,including the optimal induction concentration,the optimal inter-vention time,and the optimal senescence duration,and confirmed the feasibility of MCF 10A as an epi-thelial senescence model by multiple ways.The optimal condition for Doxorubicin-induced senescence of MCF 10A cells was treatment with 0.6 μmol/L Doxorubicin for 16 h to achieve the best senescence state on the 8th day.Under the optimal induction conditions,the positive rate of senescence-associated β-gal-actosidase(SA-β-gal)staining in the treated group reached 97％.At the same time,biochemical results of detecting the expression of mRNA,proteins,and immunofluorescence demonstrated that the expression levels of senescence-associated secretory phenotype(SASP),p16,p21 and p53 in the treated group were significantly higher than those in the control cells,and Lamin B1 was significantly decreased(P＜0.001),which were consistent with the specific characteristics of senescence.In summary,an epithelial senescence model was successfully induced in MCF 10A cells by Doxorubicin in this study,which will promote the screening of senolytics for senescent epithelial cells.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a central neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive cognitive decline and memory impairment in clinical. Currently, there are no effective treatments for AD. In recent years, a variety of therapeutic approaches from different perspectives have been explored to treat AD. Although the drug therapies targeted at the clearance of amyloid β-protein (Aβ) had made a breakthrough in clinical trials, there were associated with adverse events. Neuroinflammation plays a crucial role in the onset and progression of AD. Continuous neuroinflammatory was considered to be the third major pathological feature of AD, which could promote the formation of extracellular amyloid plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles. At the same time, these toxic substances could accelerate the development of neuroinflammation, form a vicious cycle, and exacerbate disease progression. Reducing neuroinflammation could break the feedback loop pattern between neuroinflammation, Aβ plaque deposition and Tau tangles, which might be an effective therapeutic strategy for treating AD. Traditional Chinese herbs such as Polygonum multiflorum and Curcuma were utilized in the treatment of AD due to their ability to mitigate neuroinflammation. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and indomethacin had been shown to reduce the level of inflammasomes in the body, and taking these drugs was associated with a low incidence of AD. Biosynthetic nanomaterials loaded with oxytocin were demonstrated to have the capability to anti-inflammatory and penetrate the blood-brain barrier effectively, and they played an anti-inflammatory role via sustained-releasing oxytocin in the brain. Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells could reduce neuroinflammation and inhibit the activation of microglia. The secretion of mesenchymal stem cells could not only improve neuroinflammation, but also exert a multi-target comprehensive therapeutic effect, making it potentially more suitable for the treatment of AD. Enhancing the level of TREM2 in microglial cells using gene editing technologies, or application of TREM2 antibodies such as Ab-T1, hT2AB could improve microglial cell function and reduce the level of neuroinflammation, which might be a potential treatment for AD. Probiotic therapy, fecal flora transplantation, antibiotic therapy, and dietary intervention could reshape the composition of the gut microbiota and alleviate neuroinflammation through the gut-brain axis. However, the drugs of sodium oligomannose remain controversial. Both exercise intervention and electromagnetic intervention had the potential to attenuate neuroinflammation, thereby delaying AD process. This article focuses on the role of drug therapy, gene therapy, stem cell therapy, gut microbiota therapy, exercise intervention, and brain stimulation in improving neuroinflammation in recent years, aiming to provide a novel insight for the treatment of AD by intervening neuroinflammation in the future.

Postoperative infection of internal fixation of closed fractures the lower limbs in adults represents a devastating complication, characterized by diagnostic challenges, prolonged treatment duration and high disability rates. Current management of these infections faces multiple challenges, such as difficulties in early accurate diagnosis, and various controversies about the treatment plan, leading to poor overall diagnosis and treatment results. To address these issues, based on evidence-based medicine and principles with emphasis on scientific rigor, clinical applicability and innovation, the Trauma Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Orthopedics Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Trauma Orthopedics and Polytrauma Group of the Resuscitation and Emergency Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association have collaboratively organized a panel of relevant experts to develop the Guideline for diagnosis and treatment of infection after internal fixation of closed lower limb fractures in adults ( version 2025). The guideline proposed 10 recommendations, aiming to provide a foundation for standardized diagnosis and treatment of postoperative infection in adults with closed lower limb fractures.

Objective:To evaluate the association between heatwaves and fall-related mortality.Methods:A total of 61 421 fall-related mortality from 2013 to 2022 in 7 provinces of China were included in a time-stratified case-crossover design, with daily meteorological data derived from the fifth generation European Reanalysis dataset produced by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. Conditional logistic regression chimeric distributed lag nonlinear model was used to analyze the association between heatwaves and fall-related mortality and stratified analysis was conducted according to gender and age.Results:Heatwaves were associated with an increased risk of fall-related morality. The risk of fall-related mortality during heatwaves was higher than during non-heatwave periods ( OR=1.11, 95% CI: 1.05-1.18). The attributable fraction of fall-related motality due to heatwaves was 10.25% (95% CI: 4.49%-15.36%). For each 1 ℃ increase above the heatwave threshold, the risk of fall-related mortality increased by 34% ( OR=1.34, 95% CI: 1.02-1.76). The effect of heatwave duration on fall-related mortality was not statistically significant. Stratified analyses indicated that women experienced a higher risk of fall-related mortality during heatwaves ( OR=1.13, 95% CI: 1.04-1.22) compared to man ( OR=1.10, 95% CI: 1.04-1.17). Conclusions:Heatwave increases the risk of fall-related mortality, and the intensity of heatwaves modify this risk. Women are vulnerable populations.
