Ulcerative colitis （UC） is a chronic nonspecific inflammatory intestinal disease with a complex pathogenesis. Its recurrent attacks easily lead to persistent intestinal mucosal damage， resulting in a year-by-year increase in incidence and imposing a heavy burden on patients. Currently， the treatment of UC mainly relies on corticosteroids， immunosuppressants， and aminosalicylate preparations. However， these therapies are limited by significant side effects， strong drug resistance， and poor long-term prognosis. As one of the important inflammatory pathways， the Janus kinase 2 （JAK2）/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 （STAT3） signaling pathway can regulate the occurrence and development of UC through multiple pathways by modulating multiple downstream targets. Therefore， the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway offers a new research direction for the treatment of UC. Numerous studies have shown that the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway plays an important role in intestinal inflammatory responses， intestinal mucosal barrier damage， T helper cell 17 （Th17）/regulatory T cell （Treg） immune imbalance， intestinal epithelial cell apoptosis， and oxidative stress. Chinese medicine has attracted increasing attention because of its unique advantages， including fewer side effects， individualized diagnosis and treatment， and enhancement of efficacy with reduction of toxicity. In addition to traditional Chinese herbal formulas， more Chinese medicine monomers and extracts have played key roles because of their more precise therapeutic targets. In recent years， many studies have confirmed that Chinese medicine can exert therapeutic effects on UC by interfering with the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway， thereby alleviating intestinal inflammatory responses， repairing the intestinal mucosal barrier， regulating the balance of Th17/Treg immune cells， inhibiting intestinal epithelial cell apoptosis， and suppressing oxidative stress. This article summarizes and reviews recent research progress in this field from three aspects， including an overview of the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway， the relationship between the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway and UC， and the regulatory mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine， with the aim of providing a theoretical basis for the future clinical treatment of UC and drug development.

Objective To investigate the interaction relationship among symptoms in middle-aged patients during the recovery period of stroke and explore its correlation with rehabilitation confidence,providing a reference for the implementation of precise rehabilitation nursing.Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted,and 365 middle-aged patients in the recovery period of stroke who were hospitalized in 4 tertiary general hospitals in Wuhan from April 20 to August 31,2024 were conveniently selected as the subjects of the investigation.Data were collected using the General Information Questionnaire,Stroke Symptom Experience Scale,and Confidence after Stroke Measure Questionnaire.Symptom network analysis was conducted using R software,and a network structure model of symptoms-rehabilitation confidence was constructed;meanwhile,the stability of the network structure was evaluated.Results Finally,350 middle-aged stroke patients in the recovery period were included.The most common symptom was"limb weakness"(81.1％).Symptom network analysis showed that"limited limb movement"was the core symptom(rs=1.118).The symptoms strongly associated with recovery confidence were"limited physical movement","annoyance at not being able to do what you want to do"and"slow reaction times".Stability tests suggest that the model results are all good.Conclusion Symptoms of middle-aged patients in the recovery period after stroke are interrelated,and the mechanisms by which different symptoms affect rehabilitation confidence are also different.It is recommended that healthcare professionals prioritize interventions based on core symptoms and inter-symptom relationships in order to accurately enhance patient outcomes and improve recovery outcomes.

Objective To explore the temporal characteristics and correlation between active exercise rehabilitation behaviour and related symptoms in middle-aged chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)patients,and to provide a basis for constructing a full cycle precision rehabilitation management system.Methods The ecological momentary assessment method was used to select 63 middle-aged COPD patients from the respiratory and critical care medicine department of a tertiary comprehensive hospital in Wuhan from October 15 to December 1,2024,using convenience sampling.Their active exercise rehabilitation behaviour(number of exercise projects,duration)and related symptoms(dyspnea,fatigue,anxiety)were continuously monitored for a week by using baseline survey,daily active exercise rehabilitation behavior assessment questionnaire,daily symptom assessment questionnaire.A multi-layer linear model was used to analyze the dynamic correlation between active exercise rehabilitation behaviour and symptoms.Results 58 patients were included.During the 1-week ecological momentary assessment,the system triggered a total of 1,218 momentary assessments and obtained 1,120 valid responses(with the valid response rate of 91.95％),with patients completing an average of(2.76±0.39)assessments per day.Multilevel linear models showed that momentary dyspnoea,fatigue,anxiety symptoms and baseline kinesiophobia all significantly negatively influenced active exercise rehabilitation behaviour(P＜0.05).Conclusion There are dynamic changes in the active exercise rehabilitation behaviour and related symptoms of middle-aged COPD patients.Nursing staff should establish a precise rehabilitation intervention system based on symptom fluctuations,strengthen patient self-management efficiency through dynamic monitoring and hierarchical management,and achieve long-term optimization of lung rehabilitation effects.

Objective:To characterize the epidemiology of respiratory syndrome across healthcare facilities of different types and tiers in Beijing City, to compare pathogen-testing modalities and their associations with adverse outcomes, and to identify key factors associated with progression to severe illness, thereby informing regional prevention, control, and clinical optimization.Methods:The multicenter observational cohort study was performed using outpatient and emergency department data from five sentinel hospitals in Beijing (Beijing Xiaotangshan Hospital, Beijing Chaoyang District Shuangqiao Hospital, Beijing Haidian Hospital, Beijing You′an Hospital, Capital Medical University (Beijing You′an Hospital), and Beijing Ditan Hospital, Capital Medical University (Beijing Ditan Hospital)) from October 1st, 2023 to April 9th, 2025. Dual-target (two-plex) and triple-target (three-plex) respiratory specimens were collected. Demographic characteristics, visit information, pathogen-testing modalities and results were collected, and the epidemiologic features of patients who progressed to severe illness between the influenza high-incidence season (December to May) and the non-influenza season (June to November) were compared. Categorical variables were analyzed using the chi-square test. Multivariable logistic regression was used to estimate associations between covariates and risk of progression to severe illness.Results:Among the 192 131 cases, patients visited at Beijing You′an Hospital were concentrated in the 16 to 44 year age group, accounting for 66.79%(32 532/48 708). Beijing Xiaotangshan Hospital had a broad age distribution, with older adults comprising up to 22.35% (885/3 960). Of the 47 349 respiratory specimens across the five hospitals, Beijing You′an Hospital had the highest positivity rate for dual-target testing (46.76%(1 585/3 390)), while Beijing Haidian Hospital conducted the largest number of this tests ( n=12 514). For triple-target testing, Beijing You′an Hospital again had the highest positivity rate (45.03%(2 835/6 296)), whereas Beijing Ditan Hospital tested the most specimens ( n=12 011; positivity rate was 29.73%(3 571/12 011)). The influenza season within the same period (November 2023 to January 2024) exhibited a bimodal pattern, with alternating circulation of influenza viruses and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Among 32 744 outpatients/emergency patients who progressed to severe illness, significant seasonal differences were observed by sex, age, comorbidity status, and infection type ( χ2=6.60, 189.24, 32.71 and 189.99, respectively; all P<0.05). After adjustment for sex, age group, comorbidities, and infection type, testing modality remained significantly associated with risk of progression (dual-target testing, odds ratio ( OR)=0.116, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 0.111 to 0.122, P<0.001); no testing, OR=0.063, 95% CI 0.060 to 0.065, P<0.001). Conclusions:The epidemiological pattern of respiratory pathogens undergo significant changes after October 2023, which is characterized by alternating waves of influenza viruses and SARS-CoV-2 with pronounced seasonality and diversity. Substantial inter-hospital differences are observed in testing modalities and positivity rates. Risk of progression to severe illness varies significantly by sex, age, comorbidity burden, and infection type, and is closely associated with the testing modality. These findings support strengthening multiplex pathogen testing and targeted surveillance of high-risk groups to improve early identification and precise control of febrile-respiratory syndromes.

Objective To explore predictive factors of severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) complicated with respiratory failure (RF) and to develop and internally validate a clinical prediction model. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 350 patients with severe CAP admitted to Tianyou Hospital Affiliated to Wuhan University of Science and Technology from September 2022 to December 2024. Patients were randomly divided into a training set (n＝245) and a validation set (n＝105) in a 7∶3 ratio, and further categorized into RF and non-RF groups. LASSO regression was applied to optimize variable selection. Multivariate logistic analysis was used to construct the prediction model, followed by internal validation. Results Univariate regression analysis identified male, hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, age, CURB-65 score, white blood cell count, neutrophil count, C-reactive protein (CRP), serum amyloid A, procalcitonin, and hospital stay as risk factors for RF in severe CAP, while albumin level was a protective factor. LASSO regression selected CURB-65 score, albumin level, and CRP for inclusion in the final model. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.903 in the training set and 0.919 in the validation set. Calibration curve analysis demonstrated excellent agreement between predicted and observed probabilities in both sets, and Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit tests indicated no significant deviations. Threshold probabilities ranged from 0.01 to 0.99 in both training and validation sets. Conclusions CURB-65 score, albumin level, and CRP are independent predictors of RF in severe CAP. The clinical prediction model based on these factors exhibits strong discrimination, calibration, goodness-of-fit, and clinical utility.

With the rapid development of mobile internet technology, mobile health application (mHealth APP) are increasingly widely used in the field of health management and have been proven to play an important role in the management of chronic diseases. Solid organ transplant recipients face complex health management needs after surgery, including postoperative follow-up, medication management, prevention and treatment of complications and comorbidities, and lifestyle adjustment. mHealth APP can provide solid organ transplant recipients with convenient self-management tools. Although some progress has been made in this field, there are still many challenges, such as insufficient user experience, technological dependence, and data security risks. Therefore, this article discusses the development process, main functions and current application status of mHealth APP, and analyzes its advantages in improving the self-management ability of solid organ transplant recipients, promoting doctor-patient communication and reducing the incidence of complications. At the same time, based on the practical experience of author’s team in developing the “TransMate” mHealth APP, we propose the directions that mHealth APPs should focus on in the future, in order to provide more effective support and services for the health management of solid organ transplant recipients.
