BACKGROUND:Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a secondary causative factor for osteoporosis.As highly heterogeneous innate immune cells,macrophages may be polarized in a hyperglycemic environment,which affects osteogenesis-angiogenesis coupling.This may be a research target for improving bone quality in patients with type 2 diabetic osteoporosis.OBJECTIVE:To explore the role of modulating macrophage M1/M2 polarization to influence osteogenesis-angiogenesis coupling in type 2 diabetic osteoporosis and to summarize the effects of commonly used anti-glucose and anti-osteoporosis drugs and bone biorepair materials on bone osteogenesis-angiogenesis coupling by regulating macrophage M1/M2 polarization.METHODS:The keywords of"macrophage polarization,type 2 diabetes,osteoporosis,osteogenesis-angiogenesis coupling"in Chinese and"macrophages,macrophage polarization,osteogenesis-angiogenesis coupling"in English were used to search for relevant literature in CNKI and PubMed,respectively.Seventy-nine pieces of literature were screened and analyzed.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Type 2 diabetes mellitus causes the body to be in a hyperglycemic environment and increases the secretion of inflammatory-related factors in the body,which promotes macrophage polarization towards M1 and decreases the number of M2 macrophages.(2)In type 2 diabetes,promoting M2 macrophage polarization is beneficial for osteogenesis-angiogenesis coupling.(3)Some anti-glycemic drugs,active ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine and bone biorepair materials can improve type 2 diabetic osteoporosis by regulating macrophage M1/M2 polarization,reducing M1/M2 ratio,and promoting osteogenesis-angiogenesis coupling.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the mechanism of Xihuang pill （XHP） against diffuse large B-cell lymphoma （DLBCL）. METHODS The active ingredients of XHP and potential therapeutic targets for DLBCL were identified using TCMSP， GeneCards and DisGeNET databases. Protein-protein interaction networks were constructed using the String database and Cytoscape software to screen core components and core targets. Gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analyses were then performed. The clinical relevance of core targets was analyzed using the GEPIA and PanCanSurvPlot databases. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics （MD） simulation were conducted to verify the interactions between core components and core targets， and the binding free energy was calculated using the molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann surface area （MM-PBSA） method. The effects of XHP on DLBCL and the related molecular mechanisms were validated using CCK-8 assay， flow cytometry and Western blot. RESULTS Network pharmacology analysis identified 108 active ingredients of XHP and 410 potential therapeutic targets for DLBCL. Six core components （e.g.， 17 beta-estradiol， quercetin） and ten core targets [e.g.， tumor protein 53 （TP53）， proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase Src （SRC）] were obtained. Enrichment analysis indicated that the anti-DLBCL effects of XHP were primarily associated with the apoptotic signaling pathway， the phosphoinositide 3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt） signaling pathway and so on. Clinical correlation analysis revealed that TP53 and SRC expression were significantly up-regulated in DLBCL tissues and associated with poor patient prognosis （P＜0.05）. Molecular docking， MD simulations and MM-PBSA calculations confirmed that the SRC-quercetin complex had a mail：stronger and more stable binding affinity. In vitro experiments demonstrated that XHP concentration-dependently inhibited the proliferation of DLBCL cells； compared with control group， XHP medium- and high-dose groups could significantly induce the apoptosis of SU-DHL2 and SU-DHL4 cells， and significantly down- regulated the expressions of SRC protein， phosphorylated （p）-PI3K/PI3K and p-Akt/Akt in SU-DHL4 cells （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS XHP may inhibit the proliferation and induce the apoptosis of DLBCL cells by regulating the SRC/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

In the era of evidence-based medicine， the progress of medical science and technology has enriched medical diagnostic tools and treatment methods， but it has also led to the loss of medical warmth and the alienation of the doctor-patient relationships. William Osler emphasized that while medical technology advances， attention should also be paid to the practice of narrative medicine and the development of physician’s narrative literacy. The view of the physician he advocated reminds us that the core of medicine still lies in the narrative connection between doctors and patients， as well as a deep understanding of human nature. By exploring the relationship between Osler’s view of the physician and narrative medicine as well as physician’s narrative literacy， this paper analyzed the methods of cultivating physician’s narrative literacy， providing references for modern medical education and practice， and assisting in the harmony and unity of science and technology and humanity.

BackgroundCurrently， the incidence of depression among teenagers is on the rise， and the related academic problems are becoming increasingly serious. Short video addiction has a negative impact on teenagers' emotional issues and academic achievements. However， few studies have explored the relationship between this addiction and the learning burnout of teenagers with depression， and even fewer have focused on the role paths of impulsivity and coping disposition in this process. ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between short video addiction and learning burnout in adolescent patients with depression， as well as the pathway of impulsivity and coping disposition， so as to provide references for the intervention of learning burnout in adolescent patients with depression. MethodsA total of 191 adolescent patients who were hospitalized at The Affiliated Brain Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from December 2024 to April 2025 and met the diagnostic criteria for depression according to the International Classification of Diseases， tenth edition （ICD-10） were selected consecutively. The Short Video Addiction Measurement Scale （SVAMS）， the Brief Barratt Impulsiveness Scale （BBIS）， the Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire （SCSQ）， and the Adolescent Student Burnout Inventory （ASBI） were used for assessment. Pearson correlation analysis was employed to examine the correlations of the scores of each scale. Model 6 of the SPSS macro Process 4.2 was employed to analyze the chained mediation pathway of impulsivity and coping disposition between short video addiction and learning burnout. ResultsA total of 173 cases （90.58%） of adolescent patients with depression completed the valid questionnaire survey. Correlation analysis showed that SCSQ coping disposition score was negatively correlated with the SVAMS score， the BBIS score， and the ASBI score （r=-0.282， -0.341， -0.431， P<0.01）， the SVAMS score was positively correlated with the BBIS score and the ASBI score （r=0.339， 0.262， P<0.01）， and the BBIS score was positively correlated with the ASBI score （r=0.486， P<0.01）. The pathway analysis showed that the direct effect of short video addiction on learning burnout was not statistically significant， but the total effect and the indirect effect were statistically significant. The effect values were 0.275 （95% CI： 0.207–0.343） and 0.193 （95% CI： 0.143–0.246）， respectively， with the indirect effect accounting for 70.18%. Impulsivity and coping disposition both played independent mediating roles between short video addiction and learning burnout， with effect values of 0.122 （95% CI： 0.090–0.156） and 0.054 （95% CI： 0.032–0.079）， accounting for 44.36% and 19.64% of the total effect， respectively. The chained mediation effect of impulsivity and coping disposition was significant， with an effect value of 0.017 （95% CI： 0.011–0.026）， accounting for 6.18% of the total effect. ConclusionAlthough short video addiction does not directly affect learning burnout in adolescent patients with depression， it may indirectly influence learning burnout through independent and chain paths of impulsivity and coping disposition. ［Funded by Guangzhou Key Clinical Specialty （Clinical Medical Research Institute）］

Objective To explore the incidence and risk factors of sarcopenia in non-dialysis patients with stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods Non-dialysis stage 5 CKD patients in Jiading District Central Hospital Affiliated Shanghai University of Medicine & Health Sciences from October 2023 to October 2024 were enrolled and divided into the non-sarcopenia group and the sarcopenia group according to lean tissue index (LTI) and handgrip strength (HGS). Demographic data of patients were collected and biochemical indicators were detected. Serum advanced glycation end products (AGEs) were detected by competitive ELISA. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to analyze the risk factors of sarcopenia in these patients. The diagnostic efficacy of the risk factors was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results A total of 102 non-dialysis stage 5 CKD patients with (68.52±7.39) years, were enrolled, including 61 male (59.8%). Among them, 24 were diagnosed with sarcopenia (23.5%). Compared with patients in non-sarcopenia group, patients in sarcopenia group were older and had higher interleukin-6 (IL-6) and AGEs, lower body mass index (BMI) and lower serum albumin (sAlb; P＜0.05). Multivariate logistic regression showed that advanced age (OR＝1.153, 95%CI 1.045–1.273, P＝0.005), higher IL-6 (OR＝1.165, 95%CI 1.042–1.302, P＝0.007)、lower sAlb (OR＝0.675, 95%CI 0.542–0.840, P＝0.001), and higher serum AGEs (OR＝1.105, 95%CI 1.013–1.206, P＝0.024) were independent risk factors of sarcopenia in non-dialysis CKD 5 patients. The areas under the curve (AUC) for the age, IL-6, sAlb, and serum AGEs were 0.896, 0.643, 0.658, and 0.724, respectively. Conclusions Sarcopenia is common in non-dialysis stage 5 CKD patients, and the risk of sarcopenia is higher in non-dialysis stage 5 CKD patients with advanced age, higher IL-6, lower sAlb, and higher serum AGEs.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Hydromorphone hydrochloride extended-release tablets （HHERT） in the treatment of chronic cancer-related pain （CCRP） in real-world settings， and to explore the effectiveness and reasons for rotation patterns between HHERT and other opioid drugs （OOD）. METHODS Data were retrospectively collected from 142 CCRP patients receiving strong opioid therapy at Fujian Cancer Hospital from January to December 2025. Patients were divided into the continuous HHERT group and the drug rotation group based on medication status. The efficacy and incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. The drug rotation group was further subdivided into the OOD-HHERT group （rotated from OOD to HHERT） and the HHERT-OOD group （rotated from HHERT to OOD）. Dose conversion coefficients were compared with guideline recommendations， and pain relief status， rotation types and reasons for rotation were analyzed between the two subgroups. RESULTS In the 142 CCRP patients， 107 achieved pain relief， with an overall response rate of 75.35%. After 4 weeks of treatment， there was a statistically significant difference in efficacy between the continuous HHERT group and the drug rotation group （ P ＜0.05）. A total of 110 adverse reactions occurred in 86 patients， with an overall adverse reactions of 77.46%， there were no statistically significant differences between the continuos HHERT group and the drug rotation group in the incidence of drug adverse reactions （ P ＞0.05）. 99 experienced opioid rotation， with an overall rotation rate of 69.72%. The pain relief rates after rotation were 74.36% in the HHERT-OOD group and 73.33% in the OOD-HHERT group， indicating comparable efficacy （ P ＞0.05）. In 31 patients （31.31%）， the dose conversion coefficients did not conform to guideline recommendations. There was a significant difference in the distribution of rotation types between the two groups （ P ＜0.05）： the HHERT-OOD group was dominated by route of administration changes， while the OOD-HHERT group was dominated by unchanged route of administration. The proportion of rotations due to restricted route of administration and drug supply shortage was significantly higher in the HHERT-OOD group than that in the OOD-HHERT group （ P ＜0.05）； the proportion of rotations due to inadequate analgesic effect was significantly higher in the OOD-HHERT group than that in the HHERT-OOD group （ P ＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS In real-world settings， both HHERT and opioid rotation strategies demonstrate favorable analgesic effects in the treatment of CCRP. Rotation patterns are primarily driven by practical factors such as inadequate analgesic effect and restricted route of administration. It is necessary to standardize dose conversion standards and indications for opioid rotation to improve individualized cancer pain management.

Purpose To investigate the value of automated segmentation technique for quantitative study of the volume of each subregion of medial temporal lobe epilepsy(MTLE)with hippocampal sclerosis(HS).Materials and Methods A total of 37 patients with unilateral HS diagnosed by MRI or pathologically confirmed in General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from January 2021 to May 2023 were prospectively included,including 24 cases of left-sided HS(L-HS)and 13 cases of right-sided HS(R-HS),and 42 healthy volunteers matched in gender and age during the same period were included as a control group.All subjects underwent T1-weighted equal voxel three-dimensional magnetisation-prepared rapid gradient-echo(3D T1 MP-RAGE)scanning.3D T1 MP-RAGE was post-processed by Freesurfer V7 to obtain volume data of the hippocampus and its subregions.The volume data were normalized and the volume asymmetry index was calculated.Within-group and between-group comparisons were performed for standardized volumes of the hippocampus and its subregions,and between-group comparisons were performed for volume asymmetry index values.The diagnostic efficacy of the two indices was assessed and compared using the subject operating characteristic curve and area under the curve.Results The volumes of the hippocampus and its subregions on the affected side were smaller than those on the contralateral side in both the L-HS and R-HS groups,and the volumes of the left hippocampus and its subregions were smaller than those on the right side in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(t/Z=-15.159-8.324,all P＜0.05).The volumes of the left side of the hippocampus and its subregions in the L-HS group were smaller than those of the left hippocampus and its subregions in the R-HS group and in the control group,and the volumes of the right side of the hippocampus and its subregions in the R-HS group were smaller than those of the L-HS group and the right hippocampus and its subregions of the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The differences in the volumes of the right side of the L-HS group and the left side of the R-HS group and the corresponding side of the control group were not statistically significant(P＞0.05).The differences in the volume asymmetry index values of the L-HS group compared with those of the R-HS group and the control group,and those of the R-HS group compared with those of the control group were all statistically significant(P＜0.05).Except for the diagnostic efficacy of volume asymmetry index values of the hippocampus and subiculum in the L-HS group,which was better than that of the volume,and the difference was statistically significant(Z=2.035,1.989,both P＜0.05),the comparison of the volume and volume asymmetry index values of each volume and volume asymmetry index value of the rest of the hippocampus and subregion was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).Conclusion The automatic segmentation technique is of great value for the quantitative study of hippocampus and its subregion volume in MTLE-HS,which can provide more accurate imaging reference for clinical practice.

Objective:To study the current prevalence and temporal patterns of Keshan disease in Gansu Province, thereby establishing a scientific foundation for development of targeted prevention and control strategies.Methods:From March 2019 to October 2021, monitoring of Keshan disease was conducted in all affected townships (towns) across 28 counties (districts, cities) in Gansu Province. Demographic data were collected from affected villages, and suspected chronic Keshan disease cases were identified through village clinics, township health centers, county hospitals, and other medical institutions. These suspected cases were diagnostically verified according to the "Diagnosis of Keshan Disease" (WS/T 210-2011). Current chronic Keshan disease cases underwent re-examination and follow-up monitoring.Results:There were a total of 254 endemic townships (towns) and 2 611 endemic villages across the province, with a permanent resident population of 3.667 1 million in the affected areas. New cases of chronic Keshan disease continued to emerge throughout the study period, totaling 6 cases. From 2020 to 2021, among the total number of chronic Keshan disease cases, 88.92% (923/1 038) remained stable in condition, while mortality cases accounted for 9.54% (99/1 038). Over the past three years, there were 886 males and 687 females with current chronic Keshan disease, mainly aged between 50 and 60 years old, accounting for 38.78% (610/1 573).Conclusions:While Keshan disease in Gansu Province maintains a sustained level of elimination, new chronic cases continue to emerge. It is essential to enhance disease surveillance efforts, and effectively consolidate the achievements in Keshan disease prevention and control measures.

Objective:To learn about the sales situation of edible salt in Gansu Province after the reform of salt industry system, and provide scientific basis for improving the prevention and control measures of iodine deficiency disorders (IDD).Methods:In 2022, a cross-sectional study method was used to divide the counties (districts) under 11 cities (prefectures) in Gansu Province into urban, suburban, and rural areas. A stratified sampling method was used to divide each city (prefecture) into five regions (east, west, south, north, and center), and 1 county (district) was randomly selected from each region. From each county (district), 5 - 10 edible salt sales outlets of varying scales were selected in each of the five directions. A questionnaire survey was used to investigate the quantity, type, price of edible salt sold, and IDD education efforts in each county (district) in the past six months. One bag of different types of edible salt sold at each sales outlet was randomly selected as a sample, and information such as the brand, manufacturer, and iodine level indicated on the outer packaging was recorded.Results:A total of 1 189 edible salt sales outlets were surveyed, including 157 large supermarkets, 197 medium-sized supermarkets, 760 small supermarkets (convenience/retail stores), 74 vegetable markets (farmers' markets), and 1 specialty salt store. The outlets were distributed in urban (438), suburban (99), and rural (652) areas. Among them, 12.11% (144/1 189) of the outlets sold both iodized and non-iodized salt. A total of 2 004 036 bags of edible salt were sold in 1 189 sales outlets, with a median sales quantity of 250 bags. There were statistically significant differences in sales quantity among sales outlets of different sizes and locations ( H = 57.97, 39.59, P < 0.001). The overall sales of iodized salt were higher than those of non-iodized salt ( Z = - 6.45, P < 0.001). Sales varied significantly by price ( H = 80.69, P < 0.001). A total of 1 740 samples of edible salt were surveyed, including 38 brands. Among them, China Salt Industry Group Co., Ltd. and its affiliated local companies had the highest sales quantity at 70.86% (1 233/1 740). The proportion of samples with iodine level < 5, 18 - 33, and 21 - 39 mg/kg indicated on the outer packaging was 4.08% (71/1 740), 7.01% (122/1 740), and 88.91% (1 547/1 740), respectively. Among 1 189 sales outlets, 26.24% (312/1 189) were aware of the iodine standard for edible salt in Gansu Province, 32.46% (386/1 189) had set up propaganda signs (slogans) for prevention and control of IDD, 59.13% (703/1 189) were aware of recommending iodized salt to pregnant women, and 51.39% (611/1 189) actively promoted knowledge of IDD prevention and control. Conclusions:After the reform of salt industry system, the sales network system of edible salt in Gansu Province has been improved, with multiple entities, brands, and varieties coexisting in the edible salt market. However, there is still a need to strengthen sales supervision and scientific iodine supplementation health education.
