Objective:To investigate the current status and influencing factors of barriers to going out among elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and to provide a reference for implementing targeted preventive measures.Methods:Elderly COPD patients from the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region were selected between January and May 2024 by convenience sampling. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using a general information questionnaire, Scale on Barriers to Going Out for the Elderly, Perceived Isolation Scale and COPD Assessment Test (CAT).Results:A total of 270 questionnaires were distributed, with 250 valid responses, the effective response rate was 92.6%. Among the 250 elderly COPD patients, there were 124 males and 126 females, with age distributions: 116 patients aged 60-69 years, 94 aged 70-79 years, and 40 aged ≥80 years. The total score for Scale on Barriers to Going Out for the Elderly was (20.01 ± 4.09). The score on barriers to going out in elderly COPD patients were positively correlated with the Perceived Isolation Scale and CAT scores ( r = 0.456 and 0.625, both P <0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that age, oxygen therapy, exercise habits,Perceived Isolation Scale, and CAT score classification were the main influencing factors for barriers to going out ( t values were -2.85 to 8.93, all P<0.05), explaining 63.0% of the total variance. Conclusions:The level of barriers to going out in elderly COPD patients is moderate-to-high level. Healthcare professionals should emphasize the assessment of barriers to going out, closely monitor high-risk groups, and develop and implement interventions to prevent such barriers.

Five meroterpenoids, rhodonoids K-M (1-2), daurichromene E (3), and grifolins A-B (4-5), together with seven known compounds (6-12), were isolated from Rhododendron anthopogonoides. The chemical structures of these compounds were elucidated through comprehensive analysis of high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS), ultraviolet (UV), infrared spectroscopy (IR), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data. Their absolute configurations were determined by comparing experimental electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra with computed values. Notably, compounds 1 and 3 demonstrated significant inhibitory effects on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in RAW264.7 cells. These compounds markedly suppressed the mRNA expressions of inflammatory factors, including interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) while also down-regulating the protein expressions of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2).

ObjectiveTo analyze the diversity and structural characteristics of microbial communities in the rhizosphere soil of healthy and diseased Andrographis paniculata and to explore the interactions of soil， plants， and microorganisms during the occurrence of diseases. MethodsThe physicochemical properties of the rhizosphere soil of healthy and diseased A.paniculata were determined， and the composition and diversity of bacterial and fungal communities in the rhizosphere soil were analyzed by Illumina high-throughput sequencing. Furthermore， the correlations between physicochemical properties and microorganisms of the rhizosphere soil were explored. ResultsThe content of total nitrogen， total potassium， and available potassium in the rhizosphere soil of diseased A. paniculata was significantly higher than that of healthy A. paniculata. The alpha diversity and richness （operational taxonomic units） of bacterial and fungal communities in the rhizosphere soil of diseased plants decreased compared with those of healthy plants. The microbial communities in the rhizosphere soil of healthy and diseased A. paniculata showed similar composition but different relative abundance. At the phylum level， the relative abundance of Proteobacteria and Chytridiomycota significantly increased， while that of Bacteroidota significantly decreased in the rhizosphere soil of diseased plants. At the genus level， the relative abundance of Sphingomonas， Pseudomonas， and Bryobacter significantly increased， while that of RB41 showed a significant decrease in the rhizosphere soil of diseased plants. The correlation analysis showed different correlations of microbial phyla with physicochemical properties of the rhizosphere soil between healthy and diseased plants. Organic matter， alkaline nitrogen， available phosphorus， and total potassium were correlated with the relative abundance of some dominant bacterial and fungal phyla in the rhizosphere soil of healthy plants， while available nitrogen and total phosphorus were correlated with the relative abundance of some dominant bacterial and fungal phyla in the rhizosphere soil of diseased plants. ConclusionThere are differences in the diversity and richness of microbial communities in the rhizosphere soil of healthy and diseased A. paniculata. The physicochemical properties of soil may have an impact on the rhizosphere microorganisms of A. paniculata， leading to the development of diseases.

Objective To analyze the activity concentrations of gross α, gross β, and radionuclides in atmospheric fallout around Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant from 2019 to 2022, and provide foundational scientific data for the healthy development of nuclear energy. Methods Five monitoring sites were set up at different distances (1.2, 6.9, 12.4, 42.3, and 69.2 km) from Daya Bay Nuclear Island 1. Stainless steel sampling barrels were used to collect atmospheric fallout, with a monitoring cycle of three months. The collected samples were ashed using radiochemical method. Subsequently, the gross α and gross β radioactivity were quantified using a low-background α/β measurement instrument. The remaining ash samples were mixed with water and left to equilibrate for over three weeks before γ-nuclide analysis using a low-background, high-purity germanium γ-spectrometer. Results The gross α activity concentration in atmospheric fallout around Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant from 2019 to 2022 averaged (25.3 ± 10.6) Bq/m²/season and ranged from 5.8 to 73.4 Bq/m²/season. The gross α activity concentrations in sampling sites #1 to #5 were 5.8-34.4, 11.9-35.2, 14.4-46.4, 7.2-73.4, and 13.1-43.1 Bq/m²/season, respectively. The gross β activity concentration averaged (50.5 ± 23.4) Bq/m²/season and ranged from 13.9 to 139.3 Bq/m²/season. The gross β activity concentrations of sampling sites #1 to #5 were 17.1-107.4, 17.6-87.5, 25.8-102.0, 13.9-139.3, and 23.4-99.2 Bq/m²/season, resprctively. The activity concentrations of ²³⁸U, ²²⁶Ra, ²³²Th, ⁴⁰K, ²¹⁰Pb, and ⁷Be in atmospheric fallout were < lower limit of detection (LLD)-4.2, < LLD-5.8, < LLD-6.3, < LLD-42.1, < LLD-514.0, and 35.7-1761.0 Bq/m²/season, respectively. Gross α and gross β activity concentrations were significantly positively correlated with ²¹⁰Pb activity concentration (r=0.770, α < 0.001; r=0.882, α < 0.001, respectively). Gross β activity concentration showed a significant positive correlation with ⁷Be (r=0.833, α < 0.001). The activity concentrations of ⁵⁴Mn, ⁵⁷Co, ⁵⁸Co, ⁶⁰Co, ⁵⁹Fe, ⁹⁵Zr, ¹⁰³Ru, ¹⁰⁶Ru, ^110mAg, ¹³¹I, ¹³⁴Cs, ¹³⁷ Cs, ¹⁴⁰Ba and ¹⁹²Ir were lower than the LLD of the instrument, and no artificial radionuclides were detected. Conclusion The gross α and gross β radioactive activity concentrations in the atmospheric fallout in the surrounding area of Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant during 2019-2022 were affected by natural radionuclides ²¹⁰Pb and ⁷Be, and were in the normal fluctuation ranges. No artificial radionuclides were found in the atmospheric fallout, and the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant was in a safe and stable state of operation.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of intraoperative sliding CT assisted deep brain stimulation of subthalaminal nucleus (STN-DBS) in short-term motor improvement and its influencing factors in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) under general anesthesia.Methods:The cohort consisted of 48 PD patients accepted STN-DBS in Department of Neurosurgery, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from June 2021 to June 2023, including 21 patients accepted STN-DBS under general anesthesia and 27 patients accepted STN-DBS under local anesthesia. STN-DBS was performed in the CT operating room and intraoperative CT was used to confirm the electrode position. Regular program-controlled follow-up for over one year in Out-patient Clinic was applied after discharge. Operation time, complications, stimulus-related adverse events, unified Parkinson's disease rating scale (UPDRS)-Ⅲ score and UPDRS-Ⅲ improvement rate at medicine-off (Med-off) stage/DBS-on stage 1 year after operation, and UPDRS-Ⅲ score and UPDRS-Ⅲ improvement rate at medicine-on (Med-on) stage/DBS-on stage 1 year after operation, and levodopa equivalent daily dose (LEDD) and LEDD reduction were compared between the two groups. Spearman rank correlation analysis or Pearson correlation analysis were used to investigate the correlation between short-term motor improvement ([UPDRS-Ⅲ score at Med-off stage before operation-UPDRS-Ⅲ score at Med-off stage/DBS-on stage 1 year after operation]/UPDRS-Ⅲ score at Med-off stage before operation×100%) and clinical data in PD after STN-DBS under general anesthesia.Results:The operation time of general anesthesia group was (1.9±0.5) h, and that of local anesthesia group was (2.6±0.8) h, with significant difference ( P<0.05). During the 1-year follow-up, no significant difference in incidence of adverse reactions, UPDRS-Ⅲ score improvement rate at Med-on and Med-off stages, LEDD and LEDD reduction was noted between the two groups ( P>0.05). In the general anesthesia group, the short-term motor improvement after STN-DBS was negatively correlated with age or gender ( P>0.05), but positively correlated with maximum improvement rate of preoperative UPDRS-Ⅲ score ( r=0.840, P<0.001). Conclusion:For patients who cannot tolerate local anesthesia, DBS under general anesthesia is also safe and effective.
