ObjectiveTo develop a community-family management model for older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and to formulate detailed application specifications, and to fully leverage the initiative of communities and families under limited resource conditions, for achieving community-based early detection and early intervention for older adults with MCI. MethodsA systematic literature review was conducted to identify pertinent publications. Corpus-based research methodologies were employed to extract, refine, integrate and synthesize management elements, thereby establishing the specific content and service processes for each stage of the management model. Utilizing the 5W2H analytical framework, essential elements such as management stakeholders, target populations, content and methods for each stage were delineated. The model and its application guidelines were finalized through expert consultation and demonstration. ResultsAn expert evaluation of the management model yielded mean scores of 4.84, 4.32 and 4.84 for acceptability, feasibility and systematicity, respectively. By integrating the identified core elements with expert ratings and feedback, the final iteration of the community-family management model for older adults with MCI was formulated. This model comprised of five stages: screening and identification, comprehensive assessment, intervention planning, monitoring and referral pathways to ensure implementation, and enhanced support for communities, family members and caregivers. Additionally, it included 18 specific application guidelines. ConclusionThe proposed management model may theoretically help delay cognitive decline, improve cognitive function and potentially promote reversal from MCI to normal cognition. It may also enhance the awareness and coping capacity of older adults and their families, strengthen community healthcare professionals' ability to early identify and manage MCI.

Objective:To investigate the pathogen of an acute gastroenteritis outbreak in a school in Taizhou, and to understand the epidemiological characteristics and patterns of the outbreak and the etiology of the pathogen.Methods:Twelve anal swab samples from patients who met the suspected case definition during the outbreak in March 2024 were collected. FilmArray GI was used to screen 22 common pathogens in the 12 samples, and the real-time fluorescent RT-PCR was performed for verification. Nested RT-PCR was used to amplify and sequence the nucleotide sequence of the viral capsid region VP1, and the variability of the sequence sites was analyzed. Based on the sequence relationship, a molecular phylogenetic tree was constructed and the viral genotypes were determined. Molecular transmission network analysis was conducted by integrating field epidemiological information.Results:The VP1 gene sequences were obtained from 8 of the 12 specimens. Systematic evolution showed that the molecular typing of the 8 strains of Sapoviuses (SaV) was all GI.6 genotype, and there was a C/T mutation at position 1236 in the VP1 gene. The inferred molecular transmission network was largely consistent with the information from the field epidemiological investigation, such as the initial infected person being the earliest case of the outbreak, and there was a closer transmission link between the two teachers.Conclusions:This article reported a school outbreak caused by a SaV GI.6 type. We speculated a more reliable molecular transmission network, estimated the rate of gene mutation and provided a reasonable elaboration for the C/T mutation at position 1236 of the VP1 gene.

From October 2021 to February 2023, we retrospectively analyzed the clinical and laboratory data of six patients (three male and three female, median age: 54 years, age range: 29-73 years) with mast cell leukemia (MCL) diagnosed in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University (The Mastocytosis Collaborative Network of China). All patients had acute MCL, with at least one C-finding present. The main clinical presentations were hypoalbuminemia ( n=4), fatigue ( n=3), fever ( n=2), abdominal discomfort ( n=2), osteolytic lesions ( n=2), dizziness ( n=1), skin flushing ( n=1), and weight loss ( n=1). Splenomegaly and lymphadenopathy were noted in six and three patients, respectively. Six patients were strongly positive for CD117, five were positive for CD30 and CD25, and four were positive for CD2. Four patients had a normal karyotype and two patients had an abnormal karyotype. Gene mutations were detected in 4/6 cases. The median serum tryptase level was 24.9 (range: 20.1-171.9) μg/L. Two patients were treated with venetoclax and azacitidine for induction (one patient achieved partial remission by combination with afatinib, while there was no remission after combination with dasatinib in the other patient). Two patients did not achieve complete remission despite treatment with cladribine and imatinib, respectively. One patient treated with interferon combined with glucocorticoids was lost to follow-up, and one patient abandoned treatment. The follow-up time ranged from 1.1 to 21.7 months. Three patients died and two survived. Overall, MCL is a rare subtype of systemic mastocytosis with heterogeneous clinical course, and these patients have poor outcome. A better understanding of the clinical characteristics, treatment, and prognosis of MCL is urgently needed.

ObjectiveTo investigate the distribution and trend of rehabilitation personnel of China Disabled Persons' Federation (CDPF) system and the people with disabilities (PWDs) using geographical gravity model. MethodsBased on ArcGIS and statistical data, the distribution of geographical center of gravity of the rehabilitation personnel of the CDPF system from 2011 to 2021 was analyzed. According to the economic development, the areas were divided into three regions, and the eastern region included eleven provincial units, the central region includes eight provincial units, and the western region included twelve provincial units. ResultsCompared with 2011, rehabilitation staffs per thousand PWDs increased at 107.5% in 2021, 81.1%, 114.2% and 174.1% for the eastern, central, and western regions, respectively; professional staffs increased at 190.5%, 148.8%, 284.6% and 280.6% for the eastern, central, and western regions, respectively; managerial staff increased at 80.0%, 46.8%, 554.3% and 128.1% for the eastern, central, and western regions, respectively. Compared with 2011, the geographical center of gravity of the rehabilitation personnel moved about 330.9 km in 2021, while the geographical center of gravity of the PWDs moved about 169.64 km. ConclusionThe rehabilitation personnel in the CDPF system is the most in the eastern region and least in the western region. The tracks of the geographical center of gravity of the three kind of rehabilitation personnel in the CDPF system are relatively consistent. The rehabilitation personnel in the eastern region are more concentrated than those in the western region, and the density of the PWDs is more westward than that of the rehabilitation personnel, and coordination is not a perfect match yet. It is necessary to strengthen the rehabilitation personnel allocation in the western region, to balance distribution of human resources for rehabilitation of PWDs among regions.

Objective To investigate the role of the clock gene promoter methylation in aging. Methods C57BL mice of 4- (young, n=9) and 20- (old, n=10) month-old were determined the promoter methylation level of clock genes (Per1/2, Bmal1/2, Cry1/2, Clock, Npas2) in the stomach, spleen, vascular, kidney and striatum with methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (MSP). Results The incidence of promoter methylation of Cry1, Bmal2 and Npas2 in spleen increased in old mice (P<0.05), while the promoter methylation of Per1 in stomach decreased (P<0.05), and the promoter methylation of Bmal1 in vascular increased (P<0.05). Conclusion Promoter methylation of some clock genes is involved in process of aging in a tissue-specific way.

Objective To investigate the effect of tannic acid on glomerular mesangial cells (GMC),and to clarify the mechanism of tannic acid in improving the pathological changes of diabetic nephropathy (DN)from the aspect of oxidative stress and micro-inflammation. Methods The glomerular mesangial cells were treated with glucose (30 mmol·L-1 )or advanced glycosylation end-products (AGEs)bovine serum albumin(BSA)(250 mg·L-1 )and then different concentrations of tannic acid (10,20,40 and 80μmol·L-1 )were added into the GMC.The cells cultured by normal glucose or treated with BSA were used as control groups and then the level of malonic dialdehyde (MDA), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px ), superoxide Dismutase (SOD ), CAT (Catalase ) activities and 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine(8-OHdG)levels in the culture supernatant 48 h after culture were determined by colorimetry and ELISA method. The expressions of intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1 ) protein, monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1 ) and ICAM-1 mRNA in GMC were detected by immunohistochemical staining and RT-PCR method.Results Compared with high glucose and AGEs groups,the MDA levels in tannic acid groups were reduced significantly(P<0.05);the activities of GSH-Px,SOD and CAT were increased significantly(P<0.05 or P<0.01);the 8-OHdG levels in annic acid groups were significantly reduced (P<0.05). Compared with high glucose and AGEs groups,the expressions levels of ICAM-1 protein in 40 and 80μmol· L-1 tannic acid groups were decreased (P<0.05 ). The mRNA expressions levels of MCP-1 and ICAM-1 were significantly lower than those in high glucose group (P<0.01 ).Conclusion Tannic acid could protect GMC against the damage of oxidative and inflammatory mediators,thereby delaying and improving the glomerular lesions of DN.

Objective To explore the optimal experiment conditions of CCK-8 and MTS for cell proliferation assays in human amniotic epithelial cells and to evaluate the cytotoxicity of these reagents. Methods Human amniotic epithelial cells (hAECs) in logarithm growth stages were prepared in different cell concentrations with DMEM/F12 and 10% FBS. The sensitivity and optimal wavelengths was determined based on the optical density (OD) measured at 450 nm and 492 nm. The optimal time was determined under the conditions of the same cell concentration and defined OD values. HAECs were treated with DMSO, CCK-8 and MTS for 1 h, 2 h, 3 h, and 4 h, respectively. 24 h later, cytotoxicity of the CCK-8 and MTS was evaluated by determination of cell proliferation and Trypan Blue staining. Results The optimal detection wavelength was 450 nm for CCK-8, and 492 nm for MTS. The sensitivity of CCK-8 was slightly lower then that of MTS. The optimal time for incubation hAECs with CCK-8 was 4 h within 1~4 h. The inhibitory on cell proliferation and cytotoxicity of CCK-8 were weaker then those of MTS. Conclusion CCK-8 is a convenient reagent with low cytotoxicity for detection of the proliferation of hAECs.
