Objective: This study compared the effects of personalized exercise versus acupuncture on multidimensional cognitive function in individuals at high risk for stroke with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Methods: A randomized controlled trial enrolled 200 stroke-risk adults aged 50−80 years. Ninety participants diagnosed with MCI (MMSE, HIS, CDR criteria) were randomly assigned to exercise (n = 30), acupuncture (n = 30), or control (n = 30) groups. Interventions lasted 6 months. Cognitive outcomes (MMSE, Raven’s Progressive Matrices, Digit Symbol Substitution Test, Animal Fluency, Rey-Osterrieth test, Stroop test) were assessed before and after intervention. Multivariate regression identified risk factors for MCI. ANOVA was used for group comparisons. Results: Hypertension (aOR = 1.5) and diabetes (aOR = 1.3) were significant risk factors for MCI. After intervention, the exercise group showed the largest MMSE improvement (Δ = 5.0), compared with acupuncture (Δ = 3.0) and control (Δ = 1.0) (p < 0.001). Exercise produced greater gains in non-verbal reasoning (31.8% vs. 26.1% in acupuncture, p < 0.01). Acupuncture more effectively enhanced processing speed and attention (DSST: Δ = 26 vs. Δ = 20 in exercise, p = 0.03) and executive function (Stroop interference time: Δ = 16 vs. Δ = 15 seconds in exercise, p = 0.04). Both interventions significantly improved verbal fluency (p < 0.001), with larger benefits in those with baseline MMSE ≤ 20. Conclusion Hypertension and diabetes are key risk factors for MCI in stroke-prone individuals. Exercise yields greater improvement in global cognition and memory, whereas acupuncture is more effective for enhancing attention and executive function. Both modalities benefit verbal fluency, particularly in lower-functioning participants.

Objective: To explore factors associated with return intention and behavior among young lapsed blood donors from three psychological dimensions: blood donation values, moral identity and internalized responsibility, and to provide a contextualized interpretation of these psychological factors within the traditional Chinese ethical framework of “benevolence-righteousness-virtue”. Methods: A prospective cohort study was performed among 732 young lapsed blood donors in Hangzhou, China, recruited via stratified random sampling. At baseline, participants completed measures of blood donation values, moral identity and identified regulation. Six months later, return intention was assessed among 344 participants who completed the follow-up survey, while actual return behavior was determined from blood center records for all 732 participants at baseline. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to analyze the predictive effects of these psychological variables on return intention and behavior. Results: Blood donation motivations varied significantly across participants with different educational levels (P<0.05). Among the 344 participants who completed the follow-up survey, blood donation values, moral identity, and identified regulation were each significantly associated with return intention (P<0.05). These associations remained significant after adjustment for demographic factors (P<0.01). When the three psychological factors were simultaneously entered into the model, only identified regulation remained independently associated with return intention (OR=1.95, 95%CI:1.35-2.82, P<0.001). Among all 732 participants, the three psychological factors were each significantly associated with actual return behavior in univariate and adjusted analyses；however, none remained independently associated with actual return behavior when entered simultaneously into the model (all P>0.05). Conclusion: Identified regulation may be an important psychological factor underlying the formation of return intention among young lapsed blood donors. From the perspective of the “benevolence - righteousness - virtue” ethical framework, blood donation values, identified regulation, and moral identity represent distinct dimensions of donation motivation, with the dimension of “righteousness” reflected in internalized responsibility, showing a relatively prominent role in return intention. The translation of psychological motivation into actual return behavior may additionally depend on other factors and warrants further investigation.

Objective:To investigate the infection rate of cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in patients with severe aplastic anemia (SAA) after intensive immunosuppressive therapy in combination with a thrombopoietin receptor agonist (lST+TPO-RA) as well as assess the clinical impact of treatment.Methods:A retrospective, case series study was undertaken involving patients with SAA who were admitted to Soochow Hopes Hematonosis Hospital, The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, and Zhengzhou Third People′s Hospital from June 2022 to February 2025. Thirty patients with complete CMV and EBV monitoring data after IST+TPO-RA treatment were enrolled. The first activation time of CMV and EBV, the maximum viral load, the first negative conversion time, and blood routine tests within 3 days before CMV and EBV positivity, during the positive period, and within 3 days after turning negative were recorded. The patients were followed up for 9 months after the completion of IST. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare the changes of blood routine before and after virus positivity and after turning negative. The χ2 test was used to compare the viral infection rate and the therapeutic effect of IST between the two groups. Results:The 30 SAA patients comprised 15 males and 15 females with an average age of (40.0±16.9) years. Of the 30 patients, 18 (60.0%) were infected with CMV and 6 (20.0%) with EBV. Among them, 17 cases received rabbit anti-human thymocyte immunoglobulin (r-ATG) treatment (r-ATG group), 13 cases received porcine anti-human lymphocyte immunoglobulin (p-ALG) treatment (p-ALG group). The CMV infection rate was significantly higher in the r-ATG group than in the p-ALG group (15/17 vs. 3/13, χ2=13.03, P<0.001); meanwhile, the rate of EBV infection was only slightly higher in the r-ATG group than in the p-ALG group, and the difference did not reach statistical significance (5/17 vs. 1/13, χ2=2.17, P=0.196). In patients infected with CMV, neutrophil, hemoglobin, and platelet counts were significantly decreased during the infection phase, followed by significant increases after CMV clearance ( F=14.48, 11.38, 4.73; all P<0.05). No significant differences in treatment efficacy were found between the r-ATG and p-ALG groups at 3, 6, and 9 months post-IST (all P>0.05). Conclusions:This preliminary study showed that the incidence of CMV and EBV infection in patients with SAA increased after IST, with CMV infections occurring significantly more frequently than EBV infections. The CMV infection rate was significantly higher in patients treated with r-ATG than in those receiving p-ALG. CMV infection was associated with notable alterations in hematological parameters, highlighting the need for close clinical monitoring.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of disease uncertainty on cancer-related fatigue and quality of life in postoperative thyroid cancer patients, and to provide assistance for health management of thyroid cancer patients.Methods:From January 2023 to June 2024, thyroid cancer patients who underwent surgical treatment in Xiang′an Hospital of Xiamen University were selected by convenience sampling method. Conduct a survey using The general information questionnaire, Cancer Quality of Life for Thyroid Cancer 34, Cancer Fatigue Scale, and Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale were used to conduct cross-sectional investigation. SPSS 22.0 was used to statistically analyze the relationship between the three factors, and AMOS 24.0 software was used to establish a structural equation model to analyze the mediating effect of disease uncertainty on cancer-related fatigue and quality of life in postoperative thyroid cancer patients.Results:Finally, 495 valid questionnaires were ultimately collected. Among 495 postoperative patients with thyroid cancer, there were 135 males and 360 females, with an age of (39.58 ± 12.97) years old. The uncertainty score of postoperative thyroid cancer patients was (60.98 ± 11.61) points, cancer-related fatigue score was (42.85 ± 7.35) points, and quality of life score was (57.51 ± 9.81) points. Pearson correlation analysis showed that cancer-related fatigue was positively correlated with disease uncertainty ( r=0.392, P<0.01) and negatively correlated with quality of life ( r=-0.465, P<0.01). Disease uncertainty was negatively correlated with quality of life ( r=-0.378, P<0.01). Disease uncertainty partially mediated the relationship between cancer-related fatigue and quality of life in postoperative thyroid cancer patients, with a mediation effect value of -0.14, accounting for 32.56% of the total effect. Conclusions:The disease uncertainty score and the quality of life score of postoperative thyroid cancer patients were at a moderate level, the cancer-related fatigue score was at an upper moderate level. Disease uncertainty is an important mediating variable between cancer-related fatigue and quality of life in postoperative thyroid cancer patients. Improving disease uncertainty in postoperative thyroid cancer patients can reduce cancer-related fatigue and improve their quality of life.

Objective:To investigate effect and mechanism of hydroxysafflor yellow A(HSYA)activating neuronal autophagy on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury through a combination of in vitro and in vivo experiments.Methods:SD rat MCAO/R model was established by improved suture method.Rats were randomly divided into sham surgery(Sham)group,MCAO/R group and MCAO/R+HSYA group,following indicators were detected to determine extent of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion nerve damage:Z-Longa neu-rological function score was detected,TTC staining to measure cerebral infarction area,and TUNEL staining to measure cell apopto-sis;Western blot was used to detect protein expressions of autophagy related markers LC3,Beclin1,P62 and SIRT1 in rat brain tis-sue;immunofluorescence staining was used to observe expression of LC3 co-localization with neurons.OGD/R injury model of SH-SY5Y cells was established and randomly divided into Normal group,OGD/R group,OGD/R+HSYA group,OGD/R+SIRT1 inhibitor(EX-527)group and OGD/R+EX-527+HSYA group.Western blot was used to detect protein expressions of LC3,Beclin1,P62 and SIRT1.Results:Compared with Sham group,model group rats showed impaired neurological function,significantly increased neu-robehavioral scores,widespread cerebral infarction,significantly increased neuronal cell apoptosis,significantly increased autophagy related protein Beclin1 expression and LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ,significantly decreased P62 expression,significantly increased LC3/NeuN co-stained cells,and decreased SIRT1 expression;compared with model group,HSYA intervention group showed a significant decrease in neurological functional scores,a significant reduction in cerebral infarction area,a significant decrease in neuronal cell apoptosis,a further increase in Beclin1 expression and LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ,a further decrease in P62 expression,number of LC3/NeuN and P62/NeuN co-stained cells also increased,and SIRT1 expression significantly increased.Expression trends of Beclin1,LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ,P62 and SIRT1 of cells between normal group,model group and HSYA intervention group were same as animal experiment;compared with model group,expressions of SIRT1,Beclin1 and LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ in OGD/R+EX-527 group were significantly reduced,while expression of P62 was significantly increased;compared with OGD/R+EX-527 group,there was no significant change in SIRT1 expression in OGD/R+EX-527+HSYA group,LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ and Beclin1 expression were significantly increased,and P62 expres-sion was significantly decreased.Conclusion:HSYA can significantly improve neurological deficits in rats after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion,reduce cerebral infarction area,and decrease neuronal cell apoptosis rate,whose neuroprotective effect may be related to its activation of SIRT1,which significantly enhances neuronal autophagy.

Objective To explore the current situation of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in patients in emergency rescue room and observation room,and analyze the causes.Methods Targeted surveillance was per-formed on patients in emergency rescue room and observation room of a tertiary first-class hospital in Xuzhou City from January 1 to December 31,2023 using prospective survey method.HAI,antimicrobial use,as well as invasive procedures and related infection rates were analyzed.Results The incidence of HAI in 540 patients was 0.19％(n=1),and the daily incidence of HAI was 0.54‰(1/1 841).The utilization rates of invasive ventilators,central ve-nous catheters,and indwelling urinary catheters were 6.79％(125/1 841),1.09％(20/1 841),and 2.93％(54/1 841),respectively.The incidences of ventilator-associated pneumonia,central line-associated bloodstream infec-tion,and catheter-associated urinary tract infection were 8.00‰(1/125),0(0/20),and 0(0/54),respectively.Pathogen detection rate before antimicrobial treatment was 99.22％(382/385).Conclusion The incidence of HAI in patients in emergency rescue room and observation room is low,the retention time of patients in rescue room is short,and pathogen detection of specimens before antimicrobial treatment is high.Patients in emergency rescue room and observation room are at high risk of HAI.It is necessary to carry out targeted surveillance on HAI to re-duce its incidence.

Objective To understand the application of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)quality control indi-cators and current status of HAI management in primary medical institutions in Jiangsu Province,and provide refe-rence and basis for primary medical institutions to improve HAI management quality and for health administrative departments to formulate HAI management relevant policies.Methods Data on HAI quality control indicators co-llected by Jiangsu Provincial Primary Healthcare Professional Quality Control Center from the first batch of 62 pri-mary sentinel medical institutions in the province were analyzed.Results of on-site inspections and assessments of 20 institutions were summarized and analyzed.Results From July 2023 to May 2024,a total of 145 814 inpatients were monitored,219 patients had 220 episodes of HAI.The incidence and case incidence of HAI were both 0.15％,and the main HAI site was upper respiratory tract(40.45％).The compliance rate and correct rate of hand hygiene were 81.34％(14.29％-100％)and 87.90％(18.46％-100％),respectively.The removal rate of surface pollu-tant from environmental objects was 77.24％(20.00％-100％),and the qualified rate of cleaning of device,appli-ances,and articles was 98.76％(10.00％-100％).The monitoring data records of quality control indicators in most primary healthcare institutions during on-site inspections didn't match the monthly data reported to the Jiangsu Provincial Primary Healthcare Professional Quality Control Center.Most healthcare workers in primary healthcare institutions lacked sufficient awareness and knowledge in infection prevention and control.Multiple HAI-related safety hazards existed in key departments of most primary medical institutions.Conclusion After nearly a year of continuous monitoring on HAI,the primary sentinel medical institutions have established their own data on the inci-dence of HAI.The compliance rate and correct rate of hand hygiene,as well as the removal rate of surface pollu-tants from environmental objects are still relatively low in some medical medical institutions,and there is much room for improvement.There is still a significant gap in terms of HAI prevention and control in some primary medical in-stitutions when referring to the standards.
