Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) represent a significant occupational health challenge among healthcare professionals globally, posing substantial threats to physical and mental well-being as well as work sustainability. Adopting preventive behaviors—including ergonomic postural adjustments, optimized work-rest scheduling, proper use of protective and assistive equipment, and regular physical activity—is essential for mitigating the risk of WMSDs. Guided by the social ecological model, the review synthesized current evidence on the determinants of WMSDs preventive behaviors across four levels: intrapersonal characteristics, work environment conditions, interpersonal support, and policy/institutional factors. The findings suggest that higher educational attainment, favorable health-related behavioral patterns, optimized ergonomic work environments, adoption of supportive collaborative systems, strong organizational support, as well as policy safeguards facilitate preventive behavior adoption. Conversely, limited prevention-related knowledge, low risk perception, insufficient physical activity, excessive workload, lack of appropriate protective equipment, inadequate ergonomic training, a prevailing culture of presenteeism, and inadequate policy implementation constitute significant barriers. Multi-dimensional intervention strategies targeting these determinants are warranted to enhance preventive behaviors, reduce the risk of WMSDs, and strengthen occupational health protection for healthcare professionals.

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder caused by an imbalance between excitation and inhibition in the central nervous system.Recently,the role of the orexin system in the pathogenesis of epilepsy has garnered significant attention.Orex-in primarily regulates arousal states and enhances neuronal excit-ability through activation of OX1-R/OX2-R receptors.Studies have shown that elevated orexin levels lower the seizure thresh-old,while orexin receptor antagonists(ORAs)exhibit potential antiepileptic effects.ORAs suppress epileptiform discharges by reducing glutamate release,enhancing GABAergic inhibitory effects,and modulating the thalamocortical circuit.Animal ex-periments and preliminary clinical studies demonstrate that OX1R antagonists decrease excitatory synaptic transmission,whereas OX2 R antagonists primarily strengthen GABA-mediated inhibition.With the widespread application of ORAs in sleep disorders,exploring their clinical value as antiepileptic drugs will become a key focus for future research.This review summa-rizes the role of the orexin system in epileptogenesis and discus-ses the research progress and future directions of ORAs as poten-tial antiepileptic agents.

Objective:To explore the characteristics of nutrition self-management of home-based elderly chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients based on user persona, in order to provide reference for accurate home nutrition management.Methods:From July to December 2023, home-based elderly COPD patients in the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine of General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University were selected by convenience sampling method. The Mini Nutritional Assessment, COPD Assessment Test, Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale, Physical Activity Rating Scale-3, COPD Patients Self-Management Scale were used to conduct questionnaire survey. The SPSS 26.0 software was used to analyze the influencing factors of patients′ self-management of nutrition. Attributes with statistical significance ( P<0.05) were extracted as labels, and the visualization of patients′ self-management of nutrition portraits was completed in the form of pictures combined with labels. Results:A total of 320 questionnaires were distributed, and 309 valid questionnaires were collected. Among 309 home-based elderly COPD patients, there were 210 males and 99 females with an age of (69.14 ± 6.84) years old. According to the data analysis results, three dimensions of natural attributes, social attributes, and behavioral tracks were artificially extracted to construct three types of nutritional self-management user persona for home-based elderly COPD patients, respectively namely blind management type, independent attempt type, and powerless type.Conclusions:There are great differences in the nutritional status and self-management of home-based elderly patients with COPD. Accurate management measures can be developed based on user persona analysis to improve their nutritional status.

Objective:To analyze whether there are differences in reproductive outcomes between preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies (PGT-A) and conventional in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection and embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-ET) in patients with recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA). Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted at the Reproductive Center of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, including RSA patients who underwent assisted reproductive technology (ART) between January 2018 and June 2023. Patients were categorized into two groups based on the type of ART, the PGT-A group (78 patients, 100 embryo transfer cycles) and the IVF/ICSI group (95 patients, 105 embryo transfer cycles). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to compare the impact of these two techniques on reproductive outcomes. Further analysis was conducted to evaluate the effects of maternal age, number of miscarriages, and previous chromosomal abnormalities in miscarried embryos on pregnancy outcomes. The primary outcome measure was the live birth rate, while secondary outcomes included the pregnancy rate and the miscarriage rate.Results:The live birth rate in the PGT-A group [50.0% (50/100)] was higher than that in the IVF/ICSI group [37.1% (39/105)], while the miscarriage rate [20.6% (13/63)] was lower than that in the IVF/ICSI group [39.1% (25/64)], with both differences being statistically significant ( P=0.043, P=0.023). Among RSA patients aged 37-45 years with ≥3 miscarriages, the miscarriage rate in the PGT-A group (0%) was significantly lower than that in the IVF/ICSI group [46.2%(6/13), P=0.017], whereas the differences in live birth rate and pregnancy rate between the two groups were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). For RSA patients with previous chromosomal abnormalities in miscarried embryos, the miscarriage rate in the PGT-A group [21.1% (12/57)] was significantly lower than that in the IVF/ICSI group [71.4% (5/7), P=0.012]. Additionally, the pregnancy rate [66.3% (57/86)] and the live birth rate [52.3% (45/86)] in the PGT-A group were significantly higher than those in the IVF/ICSI group [33.3% (7/21), P=0.006; 9.5% (2/21), P<0.001]. Among 37-45 years patients, the miscarriage rate in the PGT-A group [5.9% (1/17)] was significantly lower than that in the IVF/ICSI group [38.7% (12/31), P=0.035], and the live birth rate [57.1% (16/28)] was significantly higher than that in the IVF/ICSI group [31.7% (19/60), P=0.023]. These differences were statistically significant. Conclusion:Compared with conventional IVF/ICSI-assisted reproduction, the use of PGT-A in RSA patients younger than 37 years, with or without a history of chromosomally normal miscarried embryos, did not significantly improve reproductive outcomes, regardless of whether they had experienced more than three miscarriages. However, for RSA patients with chromosomal abnormalities in miscarried embryos, PGT-A significantly reduced the miscarriage rate across the age range of 26-45 years. In RSA patients aged 37-45 years, PGT-A significantly improved reproductive outcomes. However, for patients with two miscarriages and a history of chromosomally normal miscarried embryos, the therapeutic benefit of PGT-A was limited.

[Objective]To investigate the expression of scaffold protein PDLIM5 in multiple sclerosis(MS)patients and the mouse microglial cell line BV2,and to explore its effects on the phagocytosis of microglial cells.[Methods]Peripheral blood samples were collected from 24 MS patients and 6 healthy volunteers as controls.The expression levels of PDLIM5 were detected by real-time quantitative PCR.A neuroinflammation cell model was established by treating the mouse microglial cell line BV2 with lipopolysaccharide(LPS,1 μg/mL).The expression levels of PDLIM5 were measured by Western Blot.The effect of PDLIM5 expression on phagocytosis was analyzed by transfecting BV2 cells with PDLIM5 shRNA plasmids or PDLIM5 overexpression plasmids.[Results]Real-time quantitative PCR results showed that compared with the healthy control group,the expression level of PDLIM5 from the MS patients was significantly increased in monocytes[2.78(0.70-6.86)vs.0.54(0.39-1.51),P=0.036]and lymphocytes[1.62(0.90-2.26)vs.0.11(0.05-0.21),P<0.001].Western Blot results indicated that PDLIM5 expression was significantly upregulated in BV2 cells following LPS stimulation(P<0.05).Plasmid transfection experiments demonstrated that knockdown of PDLIM5 inhibited the phagocytic capacity of BV2 cells as measured by trypan blue uptake(P<0.05),while overexpression of PDLIM5 enhanced the phagocytic ability of BV2 cells(P<0.001).[Conclusion]Under neuroinflammatory conditions,PDLIM5 expression is elevated,and this upregulation promotes the phagocytosis of microglial cell.

Objective To establish an efficient and stable one-step real-time quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR)method for detecting mi-croRNA-like small RNAs(milRNAs)encoded by novel Bunyavirus and evaluate its clinical application value.Methods Three kinds of milRNAs encoded by novel Bunyavirus,including sRNA S-1480,sRNA M-692,and sRNA L-4706,were selected based on prelimi-nary screening.The specific qRT-PCR primers and reaction systems for them were designed and optimized.The sensitivity,specificity,and clinical applicability of the method were further evaluated by standard curve drawing,primer concentration/sequence optimization,fluorescent dye optimization,product sequencing verification,and serum specimen detection of 20 patients infected with novel Bunya-virus and 20 healthy controls.Results A one-step qRT-PCR detection system was successfully established.The standard curve con-structed with standard substance showed a good linear relationship in the range of 10 fmol/L to 100 nmol/L(R2>0.98).The detection limits for three kinds of milRNAs were 10 fmol/L.The analysis results of the receiver operating characteristics(ROC)curve showed that sRNA S-1480(AUCROC=0.972 5),sRNA M-692(AUCROC=0.757 5),sRNA L-4706(AUCROC=0.957 5),and their combina-tion(AUCROC=0.995 0)could effectively distinguish the patients infected with novel Bunyavirus from healthy controls.Conclusion The established one-step qRT-PCR detection system exhibits high sensitivity and provides an efficient and reliable alternative for the clinical diagnosis of novel Bunyavirus infection.
