Osteoporosis is a systemic disease, and epidemiological projections indicate that by 2050, approximately 23.43% of the Chinese population over 50 years of age will be affected. Given the poor prognosis associated with osteoporosis, the exploration of safe and effective natural products is of considerable significance. Studies investigating the chemical constituents of traditional Chinese medicine in cellular and/or animal models have demonstrated bone-protective effects. Although most of these compounds lack clinical data, they hold considerable potential as lead candidates for drug development. In-depth study of the structure-activity relationship of these natural products not only contributes to elucidating the mechanisms of action but also provides a theoretical basis for the development of novel antiosteoporosis therapies. This review summarizes natural products with potential antiosteoporotic effects reported between 2020 and 2024. Overall, plant-derived natural compounds exhibit antiosteoporotic effects by regulating bone remodeling, inflammation, and oxidative stress, highlighting their promise as multitarget therapeutic candidates.

Objective To explore the effect of a self-developed augmented multi-task sensory exer-cise intervention on perceptual-motor skills and motor coordination in children with developmental coor-dination disorder(DCD).Methods Twenty-four DCD children aged 6~7 years were included and ran-domly divided into a control group(n=12)and an experimental group(n=12).Both groups maintained their daily physical activities and took P.E.classes in school,while the experimental group additional-ly underwent a multi-task somatosensory motor intervention consisting of 3 stages.Each stage lasted for 4 weeks,3 sessions per week,with progressively increased difficulty.A self-designed data process-ing module of the somatosensory intervention system was used to collect the scores of each task(i.e.,sensory-motor evaluation),and the changes in scores of each task at each stage were analyzed.More-over,before and after the intervention,the motor coordination ability was assessed using the Move-ment Assessment Battery for Children-Second Edition(MABC-2),and the intra-and inter-group dif-ferences in MABC-2 scores were analyzed.Two weeks after the intervention,the experimental group conducted 3 sessions of motor relearning at the difficulty level of the 3rd stage to examine the effects of motor retention and relearning.Results 1)The experimental group showed a significant increase in their scores on all tasks from T1 to T5 during the enhanced multi-task somatosensory training of all the three stages(P<0.001,P<0.05).2)After the kinesthetic exercises,the experimental group had sig-nificantly higher abilities in fine motor skills,positioning&grasping and body balance compared to the control group(P<0.05),with relatively greater effect on threading beads,drawing traces,tossing and catching bags,single-leg balance,tiptoe walking and two-legged hopping(η2≥0.114).3)In the assessment of motor skill retention and relearning,the T1~T4 scores in the first retest were lower than the previous final ones(P<0.05),with no significant difference from those at the end of the second stage,but showing significantly higher T1 and T5 scores.Moreover,all the T1~T5 scores reached the level measured at the previous end of stage three after three sessions of relearning.Conclusion The augmented multi-task somatosensory practice based on perception-motor skills theory can enhance the perception-motor skills and motor coordination ability of the DCD children,with good motor skill reten-tion and recovery effectiveness after such intervention.

Objective To investigate the effect of smoking on the semen quality in infertile men.Methods A total of 360 male infertility patients were enrolled and divided into the smoking group(n=190)and non-smoking group(n=170)based on whether they smoked or not.Furthermore,the smoking group was subdivided into group A(≤10 sticks/d,n=63),group B(11~20 sticks/d,n=80),and group C(>20 sticks/d group,n=47)according to the amount of smoking.Semen volume,liquefaction time,sperm concentration,motility,DNA fragmentation rate and normal morphological rate were observed and compared between and within the groups.Results There were significant differences in semen volume,liquefaction time,sperm motility,normal morphological rate and DNA fragmentation rate between the smoking group and the non-smoking group(P<0.05).The semen volume,sperm motility and normal morphological rate of the smoking group were lower than those in the non-smoking group,and the DNA fragmentation rate and semen liquefaction time were higher than those in the non-smoking group.And with the increase of smoking volume,sperm motility and normal morphological rate decreased,semen liquefaction time and DNA fragmentation rate increased,and there was no significant difference in the sperm concentration between the smoking group and non-smoking group(P>0.05).There was no significant difference in the semen volume between the three groups with different smoking amounts(P>0.05).Conclusion Smoking has a negative impact on the sperm quality parameters such as semen volume,sperm motility,normal morphological rate,sperm motility,liquefaction time and DNA fragmentation,and the effect of heavy smoking is particularly obvious.We should strengthen the comprehensive health education,promote the healthy lifestyles and reduce smoking.

Objective To explore the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation(tDCS)based on music therapy on insomnia. Methods From July,2023 to April,2024,70 patients with insomnia in the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Soochow Univer-sity were randomly divided into control group(n=35)and observation group(n=35).Both groups accepted mu-sic therapy;moreover,the observation group accepted tDCS,and the control group accepted sham tDCS,for four weeks.They were assessed with Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI)total score and sub-score,Hamilton De-pression Scale 17-item(HAMD-17),Hamilton Anxiety Scale(HAMA),Chinese version of Stress Perception Scale(CPSS);and the relative power of resting-state electroencephalography(EEG)and mean blood flow veloci-ty(Vm)of each cerebral artery with transcranial Doppler were measured before and after treatment. Results Five cases dropped down in the control group,and four in the observation group.PSQI total score and sub-score,HAMD-17 score,HAMA score and CPSS score(|t|>3.503,P<0.01)in the observation group decreased after treatment,and were less in the observation group than in the control group(|t|>2.304,P<0.05),except sleep duration,sleep efficiency and CPSS scores.The relative power of δ and θ increased in the observation group,and decreased in α,β and γ(|t|>6.468,P<0.001),and were better in the observation group than in the control group(|t|>2.395,P<0.05).The Vm of each artery increased in the observation group(|t|>4.624,P<0.001),and were more in the observation group than in the control group(|t|>2.147,P<0.05). Conclusion tDCS based on music therapy may further improve sleep quality and EEG activity,increase cerebral blood flow velocity,and reduce adverse emotions in insomnia patients.

As the largest cancer in the world, breast cancer has both benefits and risks from its diversified treatments. Shared decision-making can respect the patient's right to information and autonomy, consider their preferences and value orientations, and help patients obtain the most suitable treatment plan, it also can reduce their decision-making difficulties and improve their disease knowledge awareness and decision-making satisfaction. This paper reviews the definition of shared decision-making, the influencing factors, steps, tools and clinical effects of shared decision-making in the treatment decision-making of breast cancer patients, in order to provide reference for the research of shared decision-making in breast cancer patients in China.

This paper reviews the influencing factors and intervention of post-traumatic growth of breast cancer patients. The influencing factors include demographic factors, disease treatment related factors, intimate relationships, psychological resilience, rumination, cognitive evaluation and so on. Intervention measures involve conducting group psychotherapy, enhancing positive motivational effects between partners, carrying out emotional cognitive training and exercise therapy. In summary, this paper aims to provide ideas for actively implementing interventions for post-traumatic growth in clinical nursing.
