Objective:
To conduct a scoping review on the types, construction methods and predictive performance of health literacy prediction models based on machine learning methods, so as to provide the reference for the improvement and application of such models.
Methods:
Publications on health literacy prediction models conducted using machine learning methods were retrieved from CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, PubMed and Web of Science from inception to May 1, 2024. The quality of literature was assessed using the Prediction Model Risk of Bias ASsessment Tool. Basic characteristics, modeling methods, data sources, missing value handling, predictors and predictive performance were reviewed.
Results:
A total of 524 publications were retrieved, and 22 publications between 2007 and 2024 were finally enrolled. Totally 48 health literacy prediction models were involved, and 25 had a high risk of bias (52.08%), with major issues focusing on missing value handling, predictor selection and model evaluation methods. Modeling methods included regression models, tree-based machine learning methods, support vector machines and neural network models. Predictors primarily encompassed factors at four aspects: individual, interpersonal, organizational and society/policy aspects, with age, educational level, economic status, health status and internet use appearing frequently. Internal validation was conducted in 14 publications, and external validation was conducted in 4 publications. Forty-two models reported the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve, which ranged from 0.52 to 0.983, indicating good discrimination.
Conclusion
Health literacy prediction models based on machine learning methods perform well, but have deficiencies in risk of bias, data processing and validation.

ObjectiveTo investigate the inhibitory effect of Mahuang Xixin Fuzitang on the migration of dendritic cells (DCs) in mice and its underlying mechanism. MethodMouse bone marrow-derived DCs were isolated and cultured. The morphological changes of the cells at different stages were observed under a microscope, and the CD11c+ proportion was detected by flow cytometry to identify DC purity. Cells were treated with Mahuang Xixin Fuzitang (1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 40, 50, 100 g·L-1) for 24 hours, and the effect of Mahuang Xixin Fuzitang on cell proliferation was assessed using the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay to determine the appropriate concentrations for treatment. After modeling by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induction, DCs were divided into a blank group, a model group, and Mahuang Xixin Fuzitang groups (2, 4, 8 g·L-1). The expression of surface molecules CD80, CD86, and major histocompatibility complex-Ⅱ (MHC-Ⅱ) were detected by flow cytometry. Transwell chamber assay was used to observe cell migration. The levels of chemokine C-C-primitive receptor 7 (CCR7) and chemokine C-X-C-primitive receptor 4 (CXCR4) on the cell surface were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The expression of filamentous actin (F-actin) in the cell microfilament cytoskeleton was detected by immunofluorescence (IF) staining. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) was employed to determine the mRNA expression levels of Ras homolog family member A (RhoA) and Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase 1 (ROCK1). Western blot analysis was performed to detect the protein expression of RhoA and ROCK1. ResultCompared with the blank group, the model group exhibited significantly higher expression levels of CD80, CD86, and MHC-Ⅱ (P<0.01), a significantly increased number of cells migrating to the lower chamber (P<0.01), and significantly elevated levels of CCR7 and CXCR4 (P<0.05, P<0.01). Additionally, F-actin expression was significantly increased (P<0.01), and both RhoA and ROCK1 mRNA and protein expression levels were significantly higher (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, treatment with Mahuang Xixin Fuzitang (2, 4, 8 g·L-1) for 24 hours resulted in significantly lower expression levels of CD80, CD86, and MHC-Ⅱ (P<0.01), a significantly reduced number of cells migrating to the lower chamber (P<0.05), and significantly decreased levels of CCR7 and CXCR4 (P<0.05, P<0.01). Furthermore, F-actin expression was significantly reduced (P<0.01), and both RhoA and ROCK1 mRNA and protein expression levels were significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionMahuang Xixin Fuzitang can inhibit the migration of DCs in mice, and its mechanism of action may be related to reducing the activity of the Rho/ROCK signaling pathway, thereby affecting changes in the cell cytoskeleton.

Emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants have made COVID-19 convalescents susceptible to re-infection and have raised concern about the efficacy of inactivated vaccination in neutralization against emerging variants and antigen-specific B cell response. To this end, a study on a long-term cohort of 208 participants who have recovered from COVID-19 was conducted, and the participants were followed up at 3.3 (Visit 1), 9.2 (Visit 2), and 18.5 (Visit 3) months after SARS-CoV-2 infection. They were classified into three groups (no-vaccination (n = 54), one-dose (n = 62), and two-dose (n = 92) groups) on the basis of the administration of inactivated vaccination. The neutralizing antibody (NAb) titers against the wild-type virus continued to decrease in the no-vaccination group, but they rose significantly in the one-dose and two-dose groups, with the highest NAb titers being observed in the two-dose group at Visit 3. The NAb titers against the Delta variant for the no-vaccination, one-dose, and two-dose groups decreased by 3.3, 1.9, and 2.3 folds relative to the wild-type virus, respectively, and those against the Omicron variant decreased by 7.0, 4.0, and 3.8 folds, respectively. Similarly, the responses of SARS-CoV-2 RBD-specific B cells and memory B cells were boosted by the second vaccine dose. Results showed that the convalescents benefited from the administration of the inactivated vaccine (one or two doses), which enhanced neutralization against highly mutated SARS-CoV-2 variants and memory B cell responses. Two doses of inactivated vaccine among COVID-19 convalescents are therefore recommended for the prevention of the COVID-19 pandemic, and vaccination guidelines and policies need to be updated.

Objective:To explore the application effect of early intervention of pulmonary rehabilitation management in emergency department-ward linkage under multi-disciplinary team (MDT) mode in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD).Methods:Using convenient sampling method, 124 AECOPD patients admitted to Department of Emergency of Qilu Hospital of Shandong University (Qingdao) were selected as the study objects. According to the admission order, 62 patients admitted from March to October 2020 were taken as the control group, and 62 patients admitted from March to October 2021 were taken as the observation group. The control group was given routine treatment and rehabilitation guidance. On the basis of this, the observation group received the early lung rehabilitation management of emergency-ward linkage under MDT mode. The arterial oxygen saturation, lung function index (FEV 1, FEV 1%Pred, FEV 1/FVC), 6-minute walk test (evaluation only after intervention) and quality of life of patients were evaluated before and after intervention. Results:Finally, 60 patients in each group completed the study. After the intervention, the arterial oxygen saturation, the score of quality of life, 6-minute walk test and FEV 1, FEV 1%Pred, FEV 1/FVC of patients in observation group were 0.93 ± 0.04, (29.68 ± 4.87) points, (341.93 ± 46.55) m, and (1.86 ± 0.68) L, (66.13 ± 8.96)%, (68.2 ± 58.53)%, respectively. And in the control group, they were 0.91 ± 0.04, (35.83 ± 2.94) points, (268.75 ± 50.78) m, and (1.50 ± 0.66) L, (61.70 ± 7.16)%, (64.10 ± 8.42) %, respectively. The observation group was significantly better than the control group ( t values were -8.23 to 8.37, all P<0.01). Conclusions:Early intervention of pulmonary rehabilitation by emergency-ward linkage under MDT mod can effectively improve arterial oxygen saturation, pulmonary function, exercise ability and quality of life of patients with AECOPD.

Objective To explore the influence of applying the fast-track surgery (FTS) to optimize the process in the perioperative period of cardiac intervention on the rehabilitation of patients with radial artery stenting surgery. Methods A total of 190 patients with radial artery stenting surgery in the Department of Cardiology, West China Hospital from June 2017 to May 2018 were enrolled. They were randomized into a control group (n=95) and a FTS group (n=95) by random umber table. There were 60 males and 35 females aged 35-88 (65.2±9.6) years in the control group as well as 62 males and 33 females aged 34-86 (61.5±11.3) years in the FTS group. Patients in the control group received routine perioperative care, but patients in the FTS group received individual precision interventions by applying the FTS concept to optimize the process of perioperative care, including individual care management before being admitted into hospital, during hospital, and after discharge from hospital. Duration of hospital stay, satisfaction scores, number of comorbidities after surgery, disease self-management ability, and readmission rates were compared between the two groups. Results Compared to the control group, the FTS group had significantly shorter duration of hospital stay, less comorbidities, higher satisfaction scores and disease self-management ability, and lower readmission rate to hospital (P<0.05). Conclusion Applying FTS into the perioperative period of cardiac interventions to optimize its process can help patients recover from radial artery stenting surgery, increase patients’ self-management abilities, shorten duration of hospital stay and decrease comorbidities and cardiac adverse events.
