Osteoporosis is a common bone metabolic disease, which is mainly characterized by the decrease in the number of bone trabeculae and the destruction of bone tissue microstructure, leading to increased bone fragility and fracture risks. This disease is common in postmenopausal women, elderly men, diabetes patients, and obese people. Due to the lack of awareness to prevent bone losses and the limitations of bone mass measurement methods, osteoporosis is only concerned when there are serious complications, which imposes a heavy burden on both patients and medical resources. Oxidative stress refers to the excessive production of highly active molecules such as reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen in the body subjected to harmful stimuli, leading to the imbalance between the oxidative and antioxidant systems and causing oxidative damage. Studies have shown that oxidative stress can increase the generation and activity of osteoclasts and inhibit the differentiation of osteoblasts, thus playing a role in the occurrence and development of osteoporosis. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is considered an effective antioxidant that can alleviate oxidative stress-induced osteoporosis by regulating a variety of signaling pathways. Studies have shown that TCM can alleviate oxidative stress and promote bone angiogenesis and osteogenesis by regulating the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt), nuclear factor-kappa B, and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor (Nrf2) signaling pathways. TCM alleviates oxidative stress and promotes osteogenesis by regulating the Nrf2, PI3K/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin, and secreted glycoprotein Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways. In addition, TCM regulates NF-κB, mitogen-activated protein kinase, and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B (RANK)/RANK ligand/osteoprotegerin signaling pathway to alleviate excessive bone resorption induced by oxidative stress. This paper systematically summarizes the literature on the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis by TCM or its active ingredients via the above-mentioned signaling pathways to reduce oxidative stress in recent years. It briefs the possible molecular mechanisms of oxidative stress regulation-related signaling pathways to cause osteoporosis. In addition, this paper discusses the effects and mechanisms of TCM on bone angiogenesis, osteogenesis, and bone resorption by reducing oxidative stress through the regulation of related signaling pathways, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for the research and clinical treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
The application of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in the field of mental health is becoming increasingly extensive and in depth. As digital natives, children and adolescents are experiencing a significant shift in the prevention, identification, and intervention of their mental health issues:transitioning from traditional models to intelligent and digital approaches. At present, the mental health status of children and adolescents in China is not optimistic, with emotional disorders such as depression and anxiety showing a trend toward younger onset. However, the traditional mental health service model faces multiple challenges, including a shortage of professionals, low service accessibility, and difficulties in early identification. The study systematically reviews the current application status of AI technology in the mental health field of children and adolescents, including the latest progress in screening, assessment, intervention, and treatment; deeply analyzes the key challenges currently faced; and proposes suggestions for promoting the deep integration of AI technology and mental health services for children and adolescents, providing theoretical support and practical guidance for the intelligent, precise, and inclusive development of mental health services.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) on postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) in elderly patients undergoing long-time abdominal surgery.Methods:The medical records from elderly patients of both sexes, aged ≥ 65 yr, with a duration of operation ≥ 8 h and American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅱ or Ⅲ, undergoing elective first abdominal surgery for gastrointestinal tumors at the Shanxi Provincial People′s Hospital from October 1, 2016 to June 30, 2022, were collected from the electronic medical record database. Patients were divided into conventional fluid therapy group (group C) and GDFT group (group G) according to whether GDFT was employed during operation. In group C, blood pressure was maintained ≥90/60 mmHg or mean arterial pressure≥65 mmHg, and urine output more than 30 ml/h. In group G, the stroke volume variation was maintained ≤13%, and cardiac index ≥2.5 L·min -1·m -2. The patient general characteristics, requirement for fluid, urine output, blood loss, requirement for vasoactive agents and abdominal hyperthermic perfusion, and operation time were recorded during operation. The development of AKI within 72 h after operation and development of other complications (pneumonia, anastomotic leakage, surgical site infection, septic shock, arrhythmia) after operation were recorded. The length of hospital stay and 30-day mortality after operation were recorded. Results:A total of 125 patients were included in this study, with 41 patients in group C and 84 patients in group G. Postoperative AKI occurred in 19 patients, with an incidence of 15.2%. Compared with group C, the requirement for colloid, total volume of fluid infused and urine volume were significantly decreased during operation, the requirement for vasoactive agents was increased during operation ( P<0.05), the risk of postoperative AKI was reduced ( OR=0.23, P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the incidence of other postoperative complications, 30-day mortality, and length of hospital stay in group G ( P>0.05). Conclusions:GDFT can reduce the risk of AKI in the elderly patients undergoing long-time abdominal surgery.

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy and safety of Cefazolin sodium for injection, Cefuroxime sodium for injection, and Ceftazidime for injection from nationally organized centralized drug procurement (hereinafter referred to as “centralized procurement”) and non-centralized procurement in patients with bacterial infection. METHODS The case data of hospitalized patients who had used 3 kinds of Cephalosporins for injection from centralized procurement or non-centralized procurement in the treatment of bacterial infections were retrospectively collected from 19 medical institutions in Kunming from January 2020 to September 2022. After balancing the baseline differences between the groups with the propensity score matching method, the effectiveness and safety differences of 3 kinds of Cephalosporins for injection from centralized procurement or non- centralized procurement were compared respectively. RESULTS After balancing the baseline differences among the groups, 394 cases in each group of Cefazolin sodium for injection from centralized procurement or non-centralized procurement, 472 cases in each group of Cefuroxime sodium for injection from centralized procurement or non-centralized procurement, 504 cases in group of Ceftazidime for injection from centralized procurement and 590 cases in group of non-centralized procurement were included in the analysis. In terms of effectiveness, there were no significant differences in clinical response rate, 72 h response rate, bacterial clearance rate, and the recovery rate of body temperature, white blood cell count, neutrophil count, neutrophil percentage, C-reactive protein, procalcitonin recovery between the centralized procurement group and non-centralized procurement group of Cefazolin sodium for injection and Cefuroxime sodium for injection (P>0.05). The proportion of patients in centralized procurement group of Ceftazidime for injection with C-reactive protein restored to normal reference range was significantly higher than that in non-centralized procurement group (46.9% vs. 27.9%, P<0.05), but there were no statistically significant differences in other effectiveness indicators among groups (P>0.05). In terms of safety, there was no statistical difference in the incidence of adverse drug reactions between centralized procurement group and non-centralized procurement group of 3 kinds of Cephalosporins for injection (P>0.05); the incidence of platelet count reduction in centralized procurement group of Cefazolin sodium for injection was significantly higher than non-centralized procurement group (20.7% vs. 7.1%, P<0.05), the incidence of eosinophilia elevation in centralized procurement group of Ceftazidime for injection was significantly higher than non-centralized procurement group (5.3% vs. 1.9%, P<0.05). In addition, there was no statistically significant difference in the abnormal rates of other laboratory indicators among the three types of injection Cephalosporins (P> 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The efficacy of 3 kinds of Cephalosporin for injection from centralized procurement is not inferior to non- centralized procurement varieties, and the safety is equivalent to that of non-centralized procurement varieties.

Objective:To investigate the effect of Shenfu injection on serum pepsinogen (PG) Ⅰ, PG Ⅱ and gastrin 17 (G17) in sepsis patients with acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI).Methods:From June 2021 to December 2022, a single-center randomized controlled clinical study was conducted to select patients with sepsis complicated with acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI) admitted to the ICU of the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University. Patients were randomly (random number) divided into Shenfu group and control group. All patients were given routine treatment of sepsis according to the guidelines, including treatment of primary disease, fluid resuscitation and supportive management. The Shenfu group was treated with Shenfu injection at the same time as routine treatment. The gastrointestinal injury indicators (PGⅠ, PGⅡ, G17 and AGI grades) before treatment and on the 3rd and 7th days of treatment, and duration of mechanical ventilation and length of ICU stay of the two groups were recorded and compared.Results:A total of 89 sepsis patients with AGI were enrolled, including 44 patients in the Shenfu group and 45 patients in the control group. Before treatment, there was no statistically significant difference in serum PGⅠ, PGⅡ, and G17 between the two groups of patients (all P>0.05). On the 3rd day of treatment, the serum PGⅠ levels in the Shenfu group were significantly lower than the control group [(156.46±62.90) μg/L vs. (183.03±45.44) μg/L, P<0.05]. There was no statistically significant difference in serum PGⅡ and G17 levels between the two groups (both P>0.05). On the 7th day of treatment, the serum levels of PG I, PG II, and G17 in the Shenfu group were significantly lower than those in the control group [(107.97±23.18) μg/L vs. (154.78±33.11) μg/L, (10.73±5.62) μg/L vs. (13.83±6.30) μg/L, (7.31±3.20) pmol/L vs. (9.29±3.92) pmol/L, all P<0.05]. The AGI grading, duration of mechanical ventilation, and length of ICU stay in Shenfu group were significantly reduced than those in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Shenfu injection can improve the serum gastric function, lower AGI grading, reduce mechanical ventilation time, and the length of ICU stay in sepsis patients with AGI.

Objective:To explore the impact of multimorbidity on disability in older adults, providing a reference for formulating strategies for the management and nursing of multimorbidity and disability in older adults.Methods:Adopting the method of cross-sectional survey research, the data of 6 469 older adults (≥60 years old) were collected from the 2018 Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey database in July 2023, including basic information, chronic disease prevalence, and disability measured by basic activities of daily living (BADL), and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL). They were divided into multimorbidity and non-multimorbidity groups based on whether they had two or more chronic diseases. The propensity score matching (PSM) method was used to match the basic conditions of the two groups of older adults with the proportion of 1∶1. Binary logistic regression was applied to analyze the effects of multimorbidity on BADL disability and IADL disability.Results:Among 6 469 older adults, there were 2 882 males and 3 582 females, with 3 158 aged 60-84 years old and 3 311 aged over 84 years old. BADL disability accounted for 26.5% (1 712/6 469), while IADL disability accounted for 66.8% (4 324/6 469). There were 2 335 patients in the multimorbidity group and 4 134 patients in the non-multimorbidity group. Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of BADL disability in older adults in multimorbidity group was 1.511 times higher than that in the non-multimorbidity group (95% CI 1.317-1.734, P<0.01); the risk of IADL disability in older adults in the multimorbidity group was 1.618 times higher than that in the non-multimorbidity group (95% CI 1.426-1.835, P<0.01). Conclusions:Multimorbidity would increase the risk of disability in older adults. Relevant authorities should develop relevant interventions and nursing responses to enhance the prevention and management of multimorbidity and disability in older adults.
