ObjectiveTo explore the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） chronic disease management programme in preventing postoperative recurrence of colorectal polyps. MethodsThe clinical data of 447 postoperative colorectal polyp patients were retrospectively collected， and the patients were divided into an exposure group and a control group taking the acceptance of TCM chronic disease management programme as exposure factor， and the polyp recurrence rate as the main outcome indicator， comparing the differences in baseline characteristics， outcome events， and safety assessment between the two groups， and conducting correlation analysis between the length of medication and polyp recurrence. Multifactorial logistic regression was used to analyse the effects of receiving the TCM chronic disease management programme （TCM treatment and life management for spleen deficiency and dampness stasis syndrome， dampness and stasis obstruction in collaterals syndrome， and intestinal dampness and heat syndrome）， gender， age， co-morbidities， TCM syndrome， and dietary and exercise factors on the outcome events. ResultsAmong 257 postoperative patients with colorectal polyps， there were 172 in the exposure group and 85 in control group. The recurrence rate of polyps in exposure group was 22.7% （39/172）， while the recurrence rate in control group was 57.6% （49/85）， and the difference between groups was statistically significant （P＜0.01）. The diameter of recurrent polyps in exposure group （median= 4.0 mm） was smaller than that in control group （median= 5.0 mm， P＜0.01）. The correlation analysis between the duration of medication taking and the recurrence of polyps in the spleen deficiency and dampness stasis syndrome group showed Phi value as -0.345 （P＜0.001）； the correlation analysis within the group of dampness and stasis obstruction in collaterals syndrome showed Phi value as -0.361 （P＜0.05）， indicating a negative correlation between the duration of medication taking and polyp recurrence. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the positive effect of accepting TCM chronic disease management programme on preventing polyp recurrence is statistically significant （OR=0.224， P＜0.01）. ConclusionAccepting TCM chronic disease management programme for colorectal polyps can help reducing the recurrence rate after polyp surgery， which is a protective factor for patients to the outcome event.

Skeletal muscle atrophy is characterized by a reduction in both the size and quantity of skeletal muscle fibers, resulting in impaired muscle strength and function. It mainly includes disuse muscle atrophy, aging muscle atrophy, denervated muscle atrophy and muscle atrophy caused by disease etc. As a cost-effective way, exercise has been widely used in the prevention and treatment of skeletal muscle atrophy, but its mechanism for improving skeletal muscle atrophy remains unclear. Recent studies have indicated that insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) plays an important role in improving muscle atrophy through exercise, in addition to promoting the survival of neurons, lowering blood sugar, and anti-inflammation. This article reviews recent findings on the mechanisms by which IGF-1 mediates exercise-induced improvement in skeletal muscle atrophy, providing a theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of this disease.

The chemical constituents were systematically separated from the roots of Berberis polyantha by various chromatographic methods, including silica gel column chromatography, HP20 column chromatography, polyamide column chromatography, reversed-phase C_(18) column chromatography, and preparative high-performance liquid chromatography. The structures of the compounds were identified by physicochemical properties and spectroscopic techniques(1D NMR, 2D NMR, UV, MS, and CD). Four phenylpropanoids were isolated from the methanol extract of the roots of B. polyantha, and they were identified as(2R)-1-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-propanone-O-β-D-glucopyranoside(1), methyl 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxybenzoate(2),(+)-syringaresinol(3), and syringaresinol-4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside(4). Compound 1 was a new compound, and other compounds were isolated from this plant for the first time. The anti-inflammatory activity of these compounds was evaluated based on the release of nitric oxide(NO) in the culture of lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced RAW264.7 macrophages. At a concentration of 10 μmol·L~(-1), all the four compounds inhibited the LPS-induced release of NO in RAW264.7 cells, demonstrating potential anti-inflammatory properties.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate preterm white matter injury (PWMI) in neonatal rats using multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) combined with histological assessments and to explore its underlying mechanisms. METHODS: Healthy 3-day-old Sprague-Dawley neonatal rats were randomly divided into a sham operation group and a PWMI group (n=12 in each group). A PWMI model was established in neonatal rats through hypoxia-ischemia. Laser speckle imaging was used to observe changes in cerebral oxygen saturation and blood flow at different time points post-modeling. Multimodal MRI was employed to assess the condition of white matter injury, while hematoxylin-eosin staining was utilized to observe morphological changes in the striatal area on the injured side. Immunofluorescence staining was performed to detect the proliferation and differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells. RESULTS: At 0, 6, 12, 24, and 72 hours post-modeling, the relative blood flow and relative oxygen saturation on the injured side in the PWMI group were significantly lower than those in the sham operation group (P<0.05). At 24 hours post-modeling, T2-weighted imaging showed high signals in the white matter of the injured side in the PWMI group, with relative apparent diffusion coefficient values and Lorenz differential values being lower than those in the sham operation group (P<0.001); additionally, the arrangement of nerve cells in the PWMI group was disordered, and the number of EdU⁺PDGFR-α⁺ cells was higher than that in the sham operation group (P<0.001). At 28 days post-modeling, the relative fractional anisotropy values, the number of EdU⁺Olig2⁺ cells, and the fluorescence intensity of myelin basic protein and neurofilament protein 200 in the white matter region of the PWMI group were all lower than those in the sham operation group (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Multimodal MRI can evaluate early and long-term changes in PWMI in neonatal rat models in vivo, providing both imaging and pathological evidence for the diagnosis and treatment of PWMI in neonates. Hypoxia-ischemia inhibits the proliferation and differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells in neonatal rats, leading to PWMI.

Transcranial temporal interference stimulation (tTIS) is a novel non-invasive neuromodulation technique with the potential to precisely target deep brain structures. This study explores the neural and behavioral effects of tTIS on the superior colliculus (SC), a region involved in eye movement control, in mice. Computational modeling revealed that tTIS delivers more focused stimulation to the SC than traditional transcranial alternating current stimulation. In vivo experiments, including Ca²⁺ signal recordings and eye movement tracking, showed that tTIS effectively modulates SC neural activity and induces eye movements. A significant correlation was found between stimulation frequency and saccade frequency, suggesting direct tTIS-induced modulation of SC activity. These results demonstrate the precision of tTIS in targeting deep brain regions and regulating eye movements, highlighting its potential for neuroscientific research and therapeutic applications.

Abstract In recent years, the prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents has risen rapidly, posing a serious threat to their physical and mental health. To provide scientific, systematic, and standardized weight management guidance for overweight and obese children and adolescents, the study focuses on the core concept of healthy lifestyle intervention, integrates multidisciplinary expert opinions and research findings,and proposes a comprehensive multidisciplinary intervention framework covering scientific exercise intervention, precise nutrition and diet, optimized sleep management, and standardized psychological support. It calls for the establishment of a multi agent collaborative management mechanism led by the government, implemented by families, fostered by schools, initiated by individuals, optimized by communities, reinforced by healthcare, and coordinated by multiple stakeholders. Emphasizing a child and adolescent centered approach, the consensus advocates for comprehensive, multi level, and personalized guidance strategies to promote the internalization and maintenance of a healthy lifestyle. It serves as a reference and provides recommendations for the effective prevention and control of overweight and obesity, and enhancing the health level of children and adolescents.

ObjectiveTo explore whether miR-375 regulates the malignant characteristics of osteosarcoma (OS) by influencing the expression of MMP13. MethodsPlasmid DNAs and miRNAs were transfected into OS cells and HEK293 cells using Lipofectamine 3000 reagent. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction was performed to measure the expression of miR-375 and MMP13 in OS patients and OS cells. Western blot was performed to analyze the MMP13 protein in the patients with OS and OS cells. The targeting relationship between miR-375 and MMP13 was analyzed by luciferase assay. Migration and invasion were analysed by heal wound and transwell assays, respectively. ResultsmiR-375 expression in OS tissues was lower than that in normal tissues. The expression of MMP13 was upregulated in OS tissues. MMP13 expression was negatively correlated withmiR-375 expression in patients with OS. Migration and invasion were significantly inhibited in OS cells with the miR-375 mimic compared with OS cells with the miRNA control. MMP13 partially reversed the inhibition of migration and invasion induced by miR-375 in the OS cells. ConclusionmiR-375 attenuates migration and invasion by downregulating the expression of MMP13 in OS cells.

Objective:To overview the systematic reviews of prevention and management measures of medication errors, so as to provide evidence support for clinical decision-making for medical staff.Methods:Cochrane Library, Australia Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence-based Healthcare Center database, CINAHL, PubMed, Embase, CNKI, SinoMed, Wanfang database and VIP database were searched by computer to search for systematic reviews of prevention and management measures of medication errors, and the search period was from establishment of the databases to June 30, 2023. Two researchers with systematic evidence-based training applied A Measure Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews 2 (AMSTAR 2) to evaluate the literature quality, and Grades of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) was used to evaluate the quality of outcome indicators.Results:Finally, a total of 19 systematic reviews were included. The overall quality evaluation using AMSTAR 2 was relatively low, with one article rated as high-quality, one article rated as low-quality and 17 articles rated as extremely low-quality. According to the evidence quality evaluation results of GRADE system for 55 outcome indicators of 19 systematic reviews, 3 pieces of evidence were medium, 27 pieces of evidence were low and 25 pieces of evidence were extremely low, indicating an overall low quality of evidence.Conclusions:The related researches on prevention and management of medication errors have been carried out extensively, and the computer system is one of the effective measures to reduce medication errors. The effectiveness of measures such as administration process modification, doctor/nurse education and training, double check, pharmacist intervention, automated dispensing cabinet/ automated pump and drug display is still unclear and needs to be further confirmed by large sample size and high-quality studies.

Objective:To compare the aortic remodeling of the Fabulous stent system and standard thoracic aortic endovascular repair (TEVAR) on distal aorta type B aortic dissection (TBAD). Methods:The prospective data collected between Dec 2017 and Oct 2019 from 134 patients with type B aortic dissection (TBAD) who underwent treatment with the "Fabulous" stent system, and retrospective data from 159 TBAD patients receiving standard TEVAR from corresponding multicenter. By using propensity score matching analysis, we compared the prognosis and aortic remodeling outcomes in patients undergoing Fabulous and standard TEVAR treatments during a 1-year postoperative follow-up.Results:In this study, 62 patients in Fabulous group and 62 patients in standard TEVAR were included.There were no significant statistical differences in baseline characteristics between the two groups. In terms of aortic remodeling in bare stent region, Fabulous group had better change trends of diameter of true lumen [10.6 (4.4, 14.5) mm vs. 4.7 (0.9, 10.7) mm, P=0.001] and false lumen [-24.2 (-30.5, -4.9) mm vs. 0.7 (-11.8, 2.3) mm, P<0.001] than those in the standard TEVAR group. The rate of complete false lumen thrombosis was also higher in the Fabulous group (62.9% vs. 37.1%, P=0.042). Conclusion:The Fabulous stent system, when compared to standard TEVAR surgery, demonstrates good aortic remodeling outcomes in the distal aorta.

Objective To explore the clinical value of neurography and nerve root sealing in treatment of multilevel lumbar spinal stenosis with lumbar instability using Endo-P/TLIF.Methods A total of 60 patients with multi-segment lumbar spinal stenosis and lumbar instability hospitalized in our hospital were included in this study From January 1,2022 to June 21,2022.All patients underwent nerve root closure angiography before surgery to confirm the responsible segments,and then the responsible segments were treated with Endo-P/TLIF.The patients were followed up for 6 months.The basic information on the age,gender,course of disease,surgical time,intraop-erative bleeding,hospitalization time,and off-bed ambulation time was collected.Then the data on VAS score,ODI score,JOA score,lumbar lordosis angle,intervertebral height,dural cross-sectional area,sacral inclination angle,pelvic projection angle,and pelvic inclination angle before,right after,3 months and 6 months after the operation were calculated.The number of responsible segments indicated by MRI and confirmed by nerve root closure angiography and the number of the single segment,double segments,3 segments,and above finally decompressed were statisti-cally analyzed.Results All patients went through the surgery safely.During the 6-month follow-up,one patient did not return to the hospital for consultation on time,and one patient was out of contact.Finally,the follow-up data of 58 patients were completely collected for statistical analysis.Fifty-five cases were remarkably improved,2 better,and 1 moderately,6 months after the operation,with a total effectiveness rate of 100%.The number of unilateral and bilateral single responsible segments confirmed by nerve root angiography and sealing was significantly larger than by MRI(P<0.05),but the number of unilateral and unilateral double,or multiple responsible segments was signifi-cantly smaller(P<0.05).There were statistically significant differences in terms of postoperative VAS score,ODI score,JOA score,VAS score,ODI score,JOA score,lumbar lordosis angle,intervertebral height,dural cross-sectional area,sacral inclination angle,pelvic inclination angle as compared to the preoperative data(P＜0.05).The pelvic projection angle was insignificantly improved as compared to the preoperative condition(P ? 0.05).Conclusion The accurate diagnosis with selective neurography and nerve root sealing improves the confirmation of responsible nerve segments before operation.Base on the accurate diagnosis,multi-segment lumbar spinal canal stenosis with lumbar instability can be effectively treated with Endo-P/TLIF,the responsible segment decompressed,trauma and bleeding reduced,hospital stay shortened,spinal physiological curvature well recovered,and clinical efficacy improved.Therefore,the method is worthy of extensive application in clinical practice.
