Objective: To examine the association between frailty and cognitive function in middle-aged and elderly populations using group-based trajectory model (GBTM), so as to provide insights into the prevention and intervention strategies for cognitive impairment in this population. Methods: From 2011 to 2018, data of demographic information and lifestyle behavior for individuals aged ≥45 years were collected from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. Frailty status was assessed using the frailty index, and cognitive function was evaluated using the Chinese version of the Mini-Mental State Examination. GBTM was applied to establish frailty trajectories based on the frailty index from 2011 to 2018 to analyze the trajectory of frailty changes. The association between frailty and cognitive function was analyzed using multiple linear regression model. Results: A total of 4 809 participants were included, with a mean age of (56.63±7.73) years. There were 2 621 males (54.50%) and 2 188 females (45.50%). The 2018 survey identified 574 individuals (11.94%) with cognitive function decline. GBTM identified four distinct frailty trajectories including the normal and stable group (69.27%), recovering frail group (9.32%), progressing pre-frail group (16.20%) and persistently frail group (5.22%). The mean cognitive funtion scores for these groups were (17.24±4.83) (16.38±5.53) (15.74±5.20) (15.02±5.11) points, respectively. The differences in cognitive funtion scores across groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed, after adjusting for confounding factors such as gender, age, nighttime sleep duration, and smoking, compared with the normal and stable group, the cognitive function decline risk was higher in the frailty recovery group (β=-0.581), the pre-frail progression group (β=-0.583), and the persistently frail group (β=-0.662) compared with the non-frail stable group (all P<0.05). Conclusions There are four groups of changes in frailty among the middle-aged and elderly populations. Compared with the normal and stable group, the groups experiencing progression, persistence, and recovery of frailty exhibit a more pronounced risk of cognitive funtion decline.

With the advent of precision medicine and personalized treatment, targeted therapies have become pivotal in oncology. Noninvasive molecular imaging, especially immunoPET/SPECT, plays a crucial role in refining cancer diagnostics and treatment monitoring by visualizing biological processes at the molecular level. This review explores the dynamic field of immunoPET/SPECT imaging using Fab and F(ab')₂ fragments, characterized by advantageous pharmacokinetics and swift clearance from the bloodstream, making them suitable for same-day imaging procedures. We examine contemporary strategies for radiolabeling these fragments with PET and SPECT radionuclides and discuss potential advancements and the challenges anticipated in the further development of Fab and F(ab')₂ fragments. Despite the complexities involved in their development, these fragments hold significant promise for advanceing personalized cancer treatment. Keys to this advancement are innovative radiolabeling techniques, site-specific conjugation chemistries, and short-lived radionuclides, all of which are crucial for overcoming existing limitations and enhancing the clinical utility of these imaging agents. As research progresses, Fab and F(ab')₂ fragments are expected to become central to the future of cancer diagnostics and therapeutic monitoring, thereby improving patient management and contributing significantly to the evolution of personalized medicine.

Objective: To understand the implementation of daily study time standard among secondary school students in Shandong Province, so as to provide scientific basis for the formulation and implementation of relevant policies. Methods: From January to May 2023, a multi stage random sampling method was used to select 8 725 middle school students in Shandong Province. A survey questionnaire was designed based on the Requirements for Daily Study Time of Primary and Secondary School Students(GB/T 17223-2012), to investigate indicators such as students daily learning schedule, sleep and physical activity time, break time and scheduling requirements. Results: The compliance rates for daily study time in junior and senior high school students in Shandong Province were 29.2% and 23.6%, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( χ 2=33.63, P <0.01). Compliance rates for sleep duration, physical activity and recess time, morning and afternoon class hours, and class duration were 19.3%, 26.2%, 30.5%, 73.2% and 16.2%. Class duration compliance was relatively high, with rates of 96.7% in junior high and 94.4% in senior high school students. There was a statistically significant difference in compliance rates for extended class breaks between different educational stages ( χ 2= 81.78, P <0.01), with rates of 84.6% in junior high and 83.4% in senior high school students. As students progressed through their educational stages, compliance rates for physical activities, class breaks, consecutive classes, and total weekly class hours showed a decreasing trend, with rates of 31.8% and 18.3%, 35.7% and 23.1%, 60.5% and 29.6%, 55.2% and 35.1% in junior and senior high school students, respectively. Conclusions The revised standard of Requirements for Daily Study Time of Primary and Secondary School Students(GB/T 17223-2012) optimizes the daily study and life schedule of middle school students to a certain extent. However, daily study time for middle school students in Shandong Province exceeds standard. Relevant departments need to enhance their ability to implement standards and strengthen the supervision of policy standards implementation.

The protein kinase B(Akt)pathway can regulate the growth,proliferation,and metabolism of tumor cells and stem cells through the activation of multiple downstream target genes,thus affecting the development and treatment of a range of diseases.Thioesterase superfamily member 4(THEM4),a member of the thioesterase superfamily,is one of the Akt kinase-binding proteins.Some studies on the mechanism of cancers and other diseases have shown that THEM4 binds to Akt to regulate its phosphorylation.Initially,THEM4 was considered an endogenous inhibitor of Akt,which can inhibit the phosphorylation of Akt in diseases such as lung cancer,pancreatic cancer,and liver cancer,but subsequently,THEM4 was shown to promote the proliferation of tumor cells by positively regulating Akt activity in breast cancer and nasopharyngeal carcinoma,which contradicts previous findings.Considering these two distinct views,this review summarizes the important roles of THEM4 in the Akt pathway,focusing on THEM4 as an Akt-binding protein and its regulatory relationship with Akt phosphorylation in various diseases,especially cancer.This work provides a better understanding of the roles of THEM4 combined with Akt in the treatment of diseases.

A colon-specific drug delivery system has great potential for the oral administration of colorectal cancer. However, the uncontrollable in vivo fate of liposomes makes their effectiveness for colonic location, and intratumoral accumulation remains unsatisfactory. Here, an oral colon-specific drug delivery system (CBS-CS@Lipo/Oxp/MTZ) was constructed by covalently conjugating Clostridium butyricum spores (CBS) with drugs loaded chitosan (CS)-coated liposomes, where the model chemotherapy drug oxaliplatin (Oxp) and anti-anaerobic bacteria agent metronidazole (MTZ) were loaded. Following oral administration, CBS germinated into Clostridium butyricum (CB) and colonized in the colon. Combined with colonic specifically β-glucosidase responsive degrading of CS, dual colon-specific release of liposomes was achieved. And the accumulation of liposomes at the CRC site furtherly increased by 2.68-fold. Simultaneously, the released liposomes penetrated deep tumor tissue via the permeation enhancement effect of CS to kill localized intratumoral bacteria. Collaborating with blocking the translocation of intestinal pathogenic bacteria from lumen to tumor with the gut microbiota modulation of CB, the intratumoral pathogenic bacteria were eliminated fundamentally, blocking their recruitment to immunosuppressive cells. Furtherly, synchronized with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) released from MTZ-induced dead Fusobacterium nucleatum and the tumor-associated antigens produced by Oxp-caused immunogenic dead cells, they jointly enhanced tumor infiltration of CD8⁺ T cells and reactivated robust antitumor immunity.

Objective    To identify the risk factors for hospital mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after emergency coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods    We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 145 AMI patients undergoing emergency CABG surgery in Qingdao Municipal Hospital from 2009 to 2019. There were 108 (74.5%) males and 37 (25.5%) females with a mean age of 67.7±11.5 years. According to whether there was in-hospital death after surgery, the patients were divided into a survival group (132 patients) and a death group (13 patients). Preoperative and operative data were analyzed by univariate analysis, followed by multivariate logistic regression analysis, to identify the risk factors for hospital mortality. Results    Over all, 13 patients died in the hospital after operation, with a mortality rate of 9.0%. In univariate analysis, significant risk factors for hospital mortality were age≥70 years, recent myocardial infarction, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)<30%, left main stenosis/dissection, operation time and simultaneous surgeries (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that LVEF<30%(OR=2.235, 95%CI 1.024-9.411, P=0.014), recent myocardial infarction (OR=4.027, 95%CI 1.934-14.268, P=0.032), operation time (OR=1.039, 95%CI 1.014-1.064, P=0.002) were independent risk factors for hospital mortality after emergency CABG. Conclusion    Emergency CABG in patients with AMI has good benefits, but patients with LVEF<30%and recent myocardial infarction have high in-hospital mortality, so the operation time should be shortened as much as possible.
