The neurophysiological mechanisms by which exercise improves cognitive function have not been fully elucidated. A comprehensive and systematic review of current domestic and international neurophysiological evidence on exercise improving cognitive function was conducted from multiple perspectives. At the molecular level, exercise promotes nerve cell regeneration and synaptogenesis and maintains cellular development and homeostasis through the modulation of a variety of neurotrophic factors, receptor activity, neuropeptides, and monoamine neurotransmitters, and by decreasing the levels of inflammatory factors and other modulators of neuroplasticity. At the cellular level, exercise enhances neural activation and control and improves brain structure through nerve regeneration, synaptogenesis, improved glial cell function and angiogenesis. At the structural level of the brain, exercise promotes cognitive function by affecting white and gray matter volumes, neural activation and brain region connectivity, as well as increasing cerebral blood flow. This review elucidates how exercise improves the internal environment at the molecular level, promotes cell regeneration and functional differentiation, and enhances the brain structure and neural efficiency. It provides a comprehensive, multi-dimensional explanation of the neurophysiological mechanisms through which exercise promotes cognitive function.

Objective: To analyze the current situation, influencing factors and mechanism of knowledge-attitude-practice(KAP) regarding acquired immune deficiency syndrome(AIDS)/sexually transmitted diseases(STDs) among migrant workers in Chengdu's main urban area, so as to provide a basis for the development of effective prevention and control policies for this group. Methods: Convenience sampling and systematic sampling were used to collect demographic information and data on knowledge, attitudes, and sexual behavior characteristics of AIDS/STDs of the participants. The collected data were organized and statistically analyzed by EpiData 3.1 and SPSS 26.0 software. Additionally, a KAP path analysis model was constructed by using AMOS 24.0 software. Results: A total of 257 valid questionnaires were obtained. The AIDS awareness rate was 55.6%, with a mean scores of(5.59±1.61). The awareness rate of STDs was 37.4%, with a mean scores of(9.05±3.00). Discrimination attitudes towards AIDS and STDs were reported by 58 participants(22.6%) and 44 participants(17.1%) respectively. The prevalence of high-risk sexual behavior was 3.50%. Men(OR=0.500, 95%CI: 0.279-0.897) acted as deterrents to knowledge of AIDS. On the other hand, childlessness facilitated discrimination against AIDS(OR=2.748, 95%CI: 1.385-5.451) and STDs(OR=2.287, 95%CI: 1.084-4.825). There was lower likelihood of engaging in high-risk sexual behavior among migrant workers in Chengdu's main urban area who were older(OR=0.854, 95%CI: 0.785-0.929). The occurrence of high-risk sexual behaviors was influenced both directly and indirectly by attitudes towards AIDS and related knowledge. There was a positive correlation between knowledge about AIDS and STDs and attitudes towards them(r=0.15,0.24, bothP<0.05), as well as between attitudes towards AIDS and attitudes towards STDs(r=0.57,P<0.05). That is, the higher the scores of knowledge, the less likely one was to hold discrimination attitudes. Therefore, increasing the rate of knowledge awareness could reduce discrimination towards AIDS/STDs and the occurrence of high-risk sexual behaviors. Conclusion The level of AIDS/STDs knowledge among the migrant workers in Chengdu′s main urban area is concerning. Innovative interventions should be intensified in key areas and populations.

Aim To investigate the therapeutic effect of luteolin(LUT)on myasthenia gravis(MG)rats and its mechanism.Methods Female Lewis rats were di-vided into five groups:C group,MG group,low dose luteolin group(L-LUT),medium dose luteolin group(M-LUT)and high dose luteolin group(H-LUT),with 12 rats in each group.Rats in C group were nor-mal control rats.Rats in other groups were MG model rats induced by subcutaneous injection of Rα97-116.Rats in C group and MG group were intragastrically fed with 1 mL corn oil.Rats in L-LUT group,M-LUT group and H-LUT group were intragastrically infused with 1 mL 10,20 and 40 mg·kg-1 luteolin solution,respectively.The administration period was four weeks.Lennon grading method was used to score clini-cal symptoms,and EMG evoked potential instrument was used to detect the attenuation rate of low frequency repetitive nerve stimulation(RNS).The morphology of skeletal muscle was observed by hematoxylin eosin(HE)staining.The levels of serum AChR antibody(AChR-Ab),interferon gamma(IFN-γ)and interleu-kin-4(IL-4)were detected by ELISA method.The activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD)in skeletal muscle was detected by visible spectrophotometry,and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px)and malondialde-hyde(MDA)were detected by micromethod.The mR-NA levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptorγ coactivator-1α(PGC-1α),nuclear respiratory factor 1(NRF1)and mitochondrial transcription factor A(TFAM)in skeletal muscle were measured by qRT-PCR.The protein expression levels of AMP-activated protein kinase α(AMPKα)and p-AMPKα in skeletal muscle were detected by Western blot.Results Com-pared with C group,Lennon score and RNS decay rate in MG group increased,AChR-Ab and IFN-γ levels increased,skeletal muscle showed obvious injury,SOD and GSH-Px levels decreased,MDA levels in-creased,p-AMPKα protein expression levels and PGC-1α,NRF1 and TFAM mRNA levels decreased(P＜0.05).Compared with MG group,Lennon score and RNS decay rate in L-LUT group and M-LUT group M and H-LUT group decreased,AChR-Ab and IFN-γlevels decreased,skeletal muscle damage was allevia-ted,SOD and GSH-Px levels increased,MDA levels decreased,p-AMPKα protein expression levels and PGC-1α,NRF1 and TFAM mRNA levels increased(P＜0.05).Conclusion The mechanism of luteolin in treating MG rats may be related to correcting the bal-ance of Th1/Th2 cells and activating AMPK.

Objective:To understand the molecular epidemiological characteristics of unique recombinant forms (URFs) in newly reported HIV-1 patients in Hangzhou, and provide theoretical support for prevention and control of AIDS.Methods:The blood samples of newly-diagnosed HIV-1 infected cases who received no antiviral therapy from 2019 to 2023 were collected, pol gene was amplified by RT-PCR and nested PCR, followed by sequencing. The URFs were screened using phylogenetic tree, followed by recombinant analysis. Genetic distances between URFs sequences were calculated and molecular transmission networks were constructed. The calibrated population resistance program (CPR) was used to analyze transmissible drug-resistant mutations. Results:A total of 222(5.0%, 222/4 471) URFs pol gene sequence were obtained, and the recombination types were CRF01_AE/CRF07_BC (60.4%, 134/222), CRF01_AE/C (11.7%, 26/222), CRF01_AE/B (9.5%, 21/222), CRF01_AE/B/C (8.1%, 18/222), B/C (7.6%, 17/222) and CRF55_01B/CRF07_BC (2.7%, 6/222), respectively. 78.8% (175/222) were infected by men who have sex with man(MSM), whoes mean age was 31.3±10.5. The proportion of URFs increased from 4.0% (34/843) to 7.4% (60/807) from 2019 to 2023. Under the optimal gene distance threshold of 1.5%, the molecular network access rate was 49.5% (110/222), included 23 clusters. We found a large active transmission cluster with 39 cases mixed homosexual and heterosexual, the recombination types was CRF01_AE/CRF07_BC, and the average gene distance was 0.005. Prevalence of URFs transmissible resistance was 3.2% (7/222). Conclusions:URFs are mainly produced and transmitted in young MSM, which shows an increasing trend year by year. There is a large active transmission cluster required major attention and effective intervention to prevent further expansion. At the same time, the occurrence and transmission of URFs should be continuously monitored to understand the clusters and drug resistance dynamics.

To investigate the existence of tick-borne pathogens infection of rodents at the border of China and the Demo-cratic People's Republic of Korea(DPRK).PCR was used to detect the spotted fever group rickettsiae(SFGR)ompA gene,Ehrlichia chaffeensis(Ec)and Anaplasma phagocytophilum(Ap)16S rRNA,Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis(CNm)groEL gene,Bartonella(Ba)rpoB gene,and Francisella tularensis(Ft)fopA gene in rodents samples collected from Ji'an of Jilin province and Kuandian of Liaoning Province.The positivity rates of 132 wild rats spleen samples,SFGR,Ec,Ap,CNm,Ba,and Ft were 9.85％,12.88％,5.30％,3.79％,51.52％,and 6.06％,respectively,with statistical differences in in-fection rates(x2=149.236,P=0.000).The infection rate of Ba was the highest in wild rats in this area.There was no signifi-cant difference in the infection rate of SFGR,Ec,Ap,CNm,and Ft among different rats species,but there were significant differences in the infection rate of Ba(x2=13.36,P=0.010).The infection rate of Apodemus agrarius was the highest.A-mong 132 wild rats specimens,the coinfection rate of the two pathogens was 15.9％(21/132),with Ba as the main species(15/132),and two cases of coinfection with three pathogens were detected.The infection of six tick-borne pathogens is common in wild rats at the China/DPRK border.Co-infection of two or three pathogens indicates a risk of multiple tick-borne pathogens and mixed natural foci of multiple tick-borne infec-tious diseases.

Objective:To evaluate the quality of critical patient handover practice between emergency room and intensive care unit (ICU) nurses, and to provide a basis for structured handover process.Methods:From March to July 2023, a total of 223 pairs of nurses in emergency room and ICU (including EICU) of 5 Class 3 Grade A general hospitals in Suzhou were selected as the research objects by using cross-sectional survey method and convenience sampling method. Self-designed general information questionnaire and Patient Handover Practice Quality Scale were used to investigate the included 223 pairs of nurses in emergency room and ICU on the current situation of handover time and quality.Results:A total of 211 pairs of nurses were included, including 286 females (67.8%) and 136 males (32.2%). The average age of emergency department nurses was (27.31 ± 2.17) years old, and ICU nurses was (26.96 ± 3.04) years old. The total scores of the patient handover practice Quality Scale for nurses in the emergency room and ICU were (45.25 ± 6.26) and (43.55 ± 7.19) points respectively, and the scores of the information transmission dimension were (20.47 ± 5.43) and (17.66 ± 3.45) points. The scores of common understanding dimension were (7.59 ± 2.31) and (8.58 ± 2.46) points. The scores of work atmosphere dimension were (7.93 ± 2.11) and (8.39 ± 2.29) points. The scores of handover situation dimension were (5.33 ± 1.30) and (5.70 ± 1.53) points, and the differences were statistically significant ( t values were - 6.35-4.22, all P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the scores of handover practice quality between emergency room nurses and ICU nurses according to specialization, education background, working years and job category ( t values were - 4.91-2.56, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Emergency room nurses and ICU nurses have different requirements and expectations for handover procedures, so it is necessary to build a structured handover practice framework and carry out personalized handover practice training, in order to achieve the consistency of handover content and improve the quality of critical patients handover practice.

Objective To analyze the setup errors during proton and heavy ion therapy for head and head neck tumor patients fixed by thermoplastic film combined with styrofoam.Methods Totally 20 patients undergoing proton and heavy ion therapy at some hospital from January to December 2018 were selected retrospectively,of whom 10 ones had head tumors with clinical targets located in the head and the other 10 cases had head and neck tumors with clinical targets distributed in the head and neck.All the 20 patients were fixed with thermoplastic film combined with styrofoam.The head and neck images of the patients acquired after image guidance were aligned with the CT localization-based digitally reconstructed radiograph images,and the setup errors at six-dimensional directions(left-right translation,head-foot translation,forward-backward translation,isocentric rotation,pitch rotation and transverse-roll rotation)were recorded in the first five and the last five times of radiotherapy treatment.The data were processed by using the SPSS 23.0 statistical software and EXCEL.Results There were no significant differences between the head tumor patients in the setup errors at the six directions during the first and last five times of radiotherapy(P＞0.05).The head and neck tumor patients did not have obvious differences in the setup errors at the the directions of left-right translation,forward-backward translation,isocentric rotation and transverse-roll rotation(P＞0.05),while did at the directions of head-foot translation and pitch rotation(P＜0.05).The head and head neck tumor patients with the fixation by thermoplastic film combined with styrofoam had their setup errors at the six directions meet clinical requirements after calibration by the six-dimensional treatment table.Conclusion The fixation mode by thermoplastic film and styrofoam behaves well to enhance the setup repeatability for head tumor patients at the six-dimensional directions,while not so well for head neck tumor patients at the directions of head-foot translation and pitch rotation.Proper measures have to be taken to decrease the setup errors during proton and heavy ion therapy for head and head neck tumor patients.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2024,45(7):56-61]

Objective To study the pharmacokinetic characteristics of clobazam tablet in Chinese healthy subjects and evaluate the bioequivalence of test preparation(T)and reference preparation(R)under fasting or fed conditions.Methods A randomized,open-label,single-dose,two-period,two-way crossover bioequivalence trial was performed.34 healthy subjects were enrolled in fasting study and 30 in fed study.Each subjects received a single dose of T 20 mg or R 20 mg with a washout period of 28 days.Plasma concentrations of clobazam and its active metabolite,N-desmethylclobazam were determined by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS).The pharmacokinetic parameters of clobazam and N-desmethylclobazam were calculated by non-compartment model.Geometric mean values for the T/R ratios of clobazam's main pharmacokinetic parameters and their corresponding 90 percent confidence intervals(CI)were evaluated to assess bioequivalence of the two preparations.Results In fasting study,the 90 percent CI of the geometric mean values for the T/R ratios were 94.46 to 103.82 percent for Cmax,99.64 to 103.62 percent for AUC0-tand 99.39 to 103.51 percent for AUC0-∞,respectively.In fed study,the 90 percent CI of the geometric mean values for the T/R ratios of were 93.86 to 106.02 percent for Cmax,100.37 to 104.51 percent for AUC0-tand 100.71 to 104.63 percent for AUC0-∞,respectively.Conclusion In this study,the 90 percent CI of the geometric mean values of Cmax,AUC0-tand AUC0-∞ for T/R ratios were all within the acceptable bioequivalence limits of 80 to 125 percent for clobazam.Therefore two formulations were considered bioequivalent.

Objective:To analyze the HIV-1 subtypes and drug resistance among newly reported HIV/AIDS cases before antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Hangzhou.Methods:Blood samples were collected from newly diagnosed HIV-1/AIDS cases not receiving ART in Hangzhou from 2020 to 2022. HIV-1 pol gene was amplified and then sequenced. A phylogenetic tree was construct using MEGA7.0 software to analyse the HIV-1 subtypes, The sequences were submitted to the Stanford University drug resistance database to identify drug resistance mutation sites and drug sensitivity. Results:A total of 2 700 sequences were obtained. Twelve subtypes were identified, and the predominant subtypes were CRF07_BC (46.8%, 1 263/2 700) and CRF01_AE (34.6%, 933/2 700). The overall drug resistance rate before ART was 8.1% (220/2 700) and the resistance rates to protease inhibitors (PIs), nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) were 2.8% (75/2 700), 1.3% (36/2 700) and 4.4% (119/2 700), respectively. Among the 220 drug-resistant cases, mutations conferring resistance to PIs (Q58E), NRTIs (M184V/I) and NNRTIs (K103N/S and E138A/G/K/Q) were detected in 47 (21.4%), 13 (5.9%), 42 (19.1%) and 41 (18.6%) patients, respectively.Conclusions:HIV-1 genotypes were highly complex in newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in Hangzhou from 2020 to 2022. There were cases showing moderate or high resistance to backbone drugs before ART, indicating that HIV-1 monitoring should be strengthened to avoid treatment failure and reduce the spread of drug-resistant strains.
