Under the trend of increasing aging, integrated elderly care and medical services is an important measure to optimize the supply of elderly care services and promote the good death of the elderly. Using the cooperative production theory and the classical grounded theory, a qualitative analysis was conducted on 38 cases of elderly palliative care and 25 cases of hospital-based palliative care under the integrated elderly care and medical services model from a hospital in Nanning City using Nvivo 20.0 software. This paper found that the integrated elderly care and medical services mode emphasized the deep integration of medical and elderly care services by integrating resources and improving service efficiency, to achieve the basic experience of comprehensive health care for the elderly. The promotion of these experiences has a positive significance for building a multi-agent cooperative production system, strengthening personnel training, perfecting the performance distribution mechanism, and further promoting the development of the national palliative care pilot.

OBJECTIVE To explore the potential mechanisms of astragalin (AG) in allevating ulcerative colitis (UC) in mice through modulation of the intestinal flora. METHODS Male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into normal group (CON group), model group [dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) group], 5-aminosalicylic acid group (5-ASA group), AG low-dose group and high-dose group (AGL and AGH groups), with 8 mice in each group. The mice UC model was established by drinking 3% DSS solution continuously for 7 days in all groups except the CON group. After that, 3% DSS solution was replaced by water, and the mice of each drug group were gavaged with the corresponding drug solution. Mice in the CON and DSS groups were gavaged with an equal volume of normal saline, once a day, for 7 days. After the last gavage, the body weight change index, disease activity index (DAI) score, colon length and spleen index, and levels of inflammatory factors (tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β, interleukin-6) were compared among the mice in each group; pathological changes in colonic tissues of the mice were observed in each group, and the pathological score and the percentage of goblet cells were compared; mRNA expressions of barrier-related factors [occludin and ZO-1] and inflammation-related factors [silencing information regulatory factor 1 (SIRT1), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK)] were detected in each group of mice; the changes in the intestinal flora of mice in each group were analyzed and the contents of intestinal metabolites short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) was determined. Using DSS and AG-treated fecal bacterial liquid as an intervention, the mechanism of anti-UC effect of AG was further verified by a fecal microbiota transplant experiment. RESULTS Compared with the CON group, the intestinal mucosal structure of mice in the DSS group was severely damaged, with obvious infiltration of inflammatory cells collapsing the wall; their body weight change index, colon length, the percentage of goblet cells, mRNA expressions of occludin, ZO-1 and SIRT1, Chao1 and Shannon indexes, and contents of acetic acid and butyric acid were significantly reduced, shortened or down-regulated (P<0.05); however, DAI score, spleen index, levels of inflammatory factors, pathological score, as well as mRNA expressions of p38 MAPK and JNK, were all significantly increased or up-regulated (P<0.05). Compared with the DSS group, colon tissue lesions of AG mice in all dose groups showed different degrees of improvement, and the above quantitative indexes were generally regressed (P<0.05), and the intervention effect of AG-treated fecal bacterial fluid was basically the same as that of AG. CONCLUSIONS AG can improve relevant symptoms in UC mice and reduce their inflammatory response and colonic histopathological changes. The above effects may be related to regulating the diversity of intestinal flora in mice, increasing the contents of butyric acid and propionic acid, and promoting the repair of the colonic mucosal barrier, thus regulating the expressions of genes related to the SIRT1/p38 MAPK inflammatory pathway.

Objective:
To explore the individual and joint effects of outdoor activities and different types of sedentary behavior on adolescent internalizing behaviors, so as to provide a basis for the prevention and intervention of such behaviors.
Methods:
From July to December 2023, a stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 1 691 primary and secondary school students in grades 5-12 from four primary and secondary schools in Baise City. Anonymous surveys were conducted by using the Outdoor Activities Questionnaire,Adolescent Sedentary Activity Questionnaire, and Youth Self Report. The Chi square test and Logistic regression analyses were used for statistical analysis.
Results:
The detection rate of internalizing behavior among adolescents was 13.13%, and the detection rate of internalizing behaviors in girls (15.53%) was significantly higher than that in boys ( 10.77 %) ( χ 2=8.39, P <0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that outdoor activities ≥1 h/d ( OR =0.56), screen based entertainment sedentary behavior < 2 h/d ( OR =0.58), and cultural sedentary behavior < 2 h/d ( OR =0.55) significantly reduced the risk of internalizing behaviors (all P <0.05). Logistic regression analysis of interaction effects revealed that the risks of internalizing behaviors were lower in the groups with "outdoor activities ≥1 h/d + screen based entertainment sedentary behavior <2 h/d" ( OR = 0.27) and "outdoor activities ≥1 h/d + cultural sedentary behavior <2 h/d" ( OR =0.30)(both P <0.01).
Conclusions
Outdoor activities can mitigate the adverse effects of sedentary behaviors on adolescents internalizing behaviors. Reducing screen time and leveraging the synergistic effects of "outdoor + cultural" activities may help reduce the risk of internalizing behaviors among primary and secondary school students.

Alzheimer's disease (AD), a prototypical neurodegenerative disorder, encompasses multifaceted pathological processes. As pivotal cellular structures within the central nervous system, ion channels play critical roles in regulating neuronal excitability, synaptic transmission, and neurotransmitter release. Extensive research has revealed significant alterations in the expression and function of ion channels in AD, implicating an important role of ion channels in the pathogenesis of abnormal Aβ deposition, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and disruptions in calcium homeostasis and neural network functionality. This review systematically summarizes the crucial roles and underlying mechanisms of ion channels in the onset and progression of AD, highlighting how these channel abnormalities contribute to AD pathophysiology. We also discuss the therapeutic potential of ion channel modulation in AD treatment, emphasizing the importance of addressing multifactorial nature and heterogeneity of AD. The development of multi-target drugs and precision therapies is proposed as a future direction of scientific research.

Objective: To explore the mechanism by which icariin alleviates viral myocarditis. Methods: CVB3-induced cardiomyocytes were used as an in vitro model of viral myocarditis to assess the effects of icariin treatment on cell viability, inflammation, and apoptosis. Moreover, the effects of icariin on ferroptosis and TLR4 signaling were assessed. After AC16 cells were transfected with TLR4 overexpression plasmids, the role of TLR4 in mediating the regulatory effect of icariin in viral myocarditis was investigated. Results: Icariin significantly elevated cell viability and reduced inflammatory factors TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-18. Flow cytometry revealed that icariin decreased apoptosis rate, and the protein expression of Bax and cleaved caspase 3 and 9 in CVB3-induced cardiomyocytes. Additionally, it suppressed ferroptosis including lipid peroxidation and ferrous ion, as well as the TLR4 signaling. However, TLR4 overexpression abrogated the modulatory effects of icariin. Conclusions: Icariin mitigates CVB3-induced myocardial injury by inhibiting TLR4-mediated ferroptosis. Further animal study is needed to verify its efficacy.

Acute B-lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is the most common type of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Chemotherapy is the main treatment for most patients, but there are serious side effects. CD19 is generally highly expressed in B-lineage malignancies and plays a key role in B cell signal transduction, activation and development. Therefore, it has become one of the effective targets for treatment of B-cell malignancies. At present, a variety of therapies targeting CD19 have been developed, including antibody drug conjugates, monoclonal antibodies, bispecific antibodies and chimeric antigen receptors cell therapies. This paper reviews the clinical trial progress of CD19-targeted therapy for B-ALL.

OBJECTIVE:
To assess the association of rs55829688 and rs75315904 polymorphisms of the lncRNA-GAS5 gene with susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in Guangxi population.
METHODS:
Peripheral venous blood samples were collected from the SLE group and control group. Following extraction of genomic DNA, SNPscan and Sanger sequencing were carried out to determine the genotypes for the rs55829688 and rs75315904 loci of the lncRNA-GAS5 gene.
RESULTS:
No difference was found between the two groups with regard to the genotypic frequencies for rs55829688 and rs75315904 (P > 0.05). However, the frequencies of C allele of rs55829688 between the two groups was significantly different (P < 0.05). In the SLE group, the frequencies of C allele and CT+CC genotype for rs55829688 among SLE patients with nephritis were significantly lower than those of SLE patients without nephritis (P < 0.05). In addition, haplotype analysis showed that the frequency of rs55829688 C/rs75315904 A allele in the SLE group was lower than that of the control group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
In Guangxi population, the carrier status of rs55829688 C allele of the lncRNA-GAS5 gene may reduce the risk of SLE and its complicated nephritis, and the rs55829688 C/rs75315904 A haplotype may reduce the risk for SLE.
