Objective To compare the macular retinal thickness characteristics of diabetic kidney disease(DKD)patients with different blood pressure levels and explore the relationship between blood pressure and macular retinal damage in DKD patients.Methods A total of 435 DKD patients were selected and divided into four groups based on medical history and blood pressure:the non-hypertensive group(NH group,n=100),the well-controlled blood pressure group(G0 group,n=176),the grade 1 hypertension group(G1 group,n=118)and the grade 2 hypertension group(G2 group,n=41).General information,routine laboratory test results as well as the average thickness of the macular retinal nerve fiber layer(RNFL),ganglion cell layer(GCL),ganglion cell complex(GCC),choroidal layer(CL)and central macular retinal thickness(CMT)were compared between the four groups.The correlation between macular retinal thickness in both eyes and clinical data was analyzed.Results Compared with the G1 group and the G2 group,the G0 group had a longer duration of hypertension.Compared to the NH group,the G2 group had higher fasting plasma glucose(FPG).Compared to the G0 group,the G1 group and the G2 group had higher FPG,and the G2 group had higher glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c)and lower estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR).Compared to the NH group,the G0 group had decreased thickness in the GCL and GCC(P<0.05).The macular retinal thickness of the GCL and GCC in both eyes was negatively correlated with diastolic blood pressure(r=-0.158 and-0.195,respectively,P<0.05).Conclusion Macular retinal thickness is helpful in assessing the long-term effects of hypertension on optic nerve and microvascular damage in DKD patients.

Objective To identify facilitators and barriers to colorectal cancer screening in community healthcare and propose effective implementation strategies.Methods From February to July 2024,a survey based on the consolidated framework for implementation research(CFIR)was conducted in 8 community health centers in Harbin,using purposive and convenience sampling to select 108 nurses and 550 residents.Binary logistic regression was used to analyze factors affecting nurses'screening knowledge and residents'behaviors.Semi-structured interviews with 21 nurses and 23 residents were analyzed using inductive-deductive methods.Results In the innovation domain,clear goals and free screening facilitated the implementation,while complex processes and resource shortages were barriers.Externally,policy support,funding,and collaboration promoted the screening,but funding gaps and poor communication hindered it.Internally,organizational culture and leadership were positive,while nurse training and teamwork were insufficient.Mixed-method results showed that motivation,ability,opportunity,and needs of nurses and residents significantly impacted screening.Regular feedback and teamwork aided the implementation,but complexity and communication gaps remained obstacles.Conclusion This study analyzed the facilitators and barriers to the screening implementation from the perspectives of community nurses and participants.Recommendations include simplifying processes,optimizing tools and policies,strengthening nurse training and health education,improving communication feedback,and improve outcomes,thereby increasing the participation rate of residents in colorectal cancer screening.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects and mechanism of oncolytic virus M 1(called M 1 virus for short )inducing the apoptosis of cervical cancer C-33A cells. METHODS :MTT assay was used to detect survival rate of C- 33A cells that were treated with different titers (0,0.001,0.01,0.1,1,10 PFU/cell)of M 1 virus. C- 33A cells were divided into control group (0 PFU/cell), low-dose,medium-dose and high-dose groups of M 1 virus(0.001,0.01,0.1 PFU/cell). After treated with corresponding titers of M1 virus for 48 h,flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptotic rate and infection rate of cells;Western blot was performed to detect the protein expression of C/EBP homologous proteins (CHOP),caspase-12,caspase-3 and cleaved-caspase- 3. RESULTS : After treated with different titers of M 1 virus,the survival rate of C- 33A cells decreased significantly (P<0.01),and showed a dose-dependent tr end. Compared with control group ,the apoptotic rate and infection rate of cells in M 1 virus groups as well as the protein expression of CHOP ,caspase-12 and cleaved-caspase- 3(except for medium-dose group )in M 1 virus medium-dose and high-dose groups were increased significantly (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS :M1 virus can induce the apoptosis of cervical cancer C-33A cells ,and its mechanism may be related to the activation of endoplasmic reticulum stress pathway.

Ginsenoside Rg1 (GR), a major bioactive compound of traditional Chinese medicine, such as Panax ginseng or Radix Notoginseng, has been shown to exert neuroprotective effects against ischemic stroke. However, pharmacokinetic studies have suggested that GR could not be efficiently transported through the blood-brain barrier. The mechanism by which GR attenuates cerebral ischemic injury in vivo remains largely unknown. Therefore, this study explored potential neuro-protective effects of GR through its systemic metabolic regulating mechanism by using mass spectrometry-based metabolomic profiling. Rats with middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) were treated with GR intravenously. Their metabolic profiles in serum were measured by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry on 1 and 3 days after MCAO. GR exhibited a potent neuro-protective effect by significantly decreasing the neurological scores and infarct volume in the MCAO rats. Moreover, 18 differential metabolites were tentatively identified, all of which appeared to correlate well with these disease indices. Our findings suggested that GR carries a therapeutic potential in stroke possibly through a feed-back mechanism by regulating systematic metabolic mediation.
