OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of amoxicillin combined with proton pump inhibitor （PPI） or potassium-competitive acid blocker （P-CAB） for Helicobacter pylori （Hp） eradication. METHODS Randomized controlled trial （RCTs） on amoxicillin combined with PPI or P-CAB for Hp eradication were retrieved from PubMed， Embase， the Cochrane Library， Web of Science， CNKI， Wanfang， and VIP data. The search time frame was from database inception to September 5， 2025. After literature screening， data extraction， and quality assessment， a network meta-analysis was performed using Stata 17.0 software. RESULTS A total of 12 RCTs involving 5 515 patients were included， encompassing 8 therapeutic regimens： PPI combined with high-dose amoxicillin for 14 days （TR1）， PPI combined with low-dose amoxicillin for 14 days （TR2）， P-CAB combined with high-dose amoxicillin for 7 days （TR3）， P-CAB combined with high-dose amoxicillin for 14 days （TR4）， P-CAB combined with high-dose amoxicillin for 10 days （TR5）， P-CAB combined with low-dose amoxicillin for 7 days （TR6）， P-CAB combined with low-dose amoxicillin for 14 days （TR7）， and P-CAB combined with low-dose amoxicillin for 10 days （TR8）. The network meta-analysis results showed that， in terms of intention-to-treat Hp eradication rates， the eradication rates of TR5 and TR4 were significantly higher than those of TR3， TR8， TR6 and TR1 （ P ＜0.05）. The surface under the cumulative ranking curve （SUCRA） values from highest to lowest were： TR4 （89.7%）＞TR5 （82.3%）＞TR7 （71.5%）＞ TR2 （48.6%）＞TR1 （43.9%）＞TR8 （28.7%）＞TR3 （22.7%）＞TR6 （12.6%）. Regarding safety， the incidence of adverse reactions in TR3 and TR5 was significantly lower than that in TR1 （ P ＜0.05）. The SUCRA values from highest to lowest were： TR1 （91.3%）＞TR4 （79.8%）＞TR5 （55.0%）＞TR7 （50.9%）＞TR8 （41.3%）＞TR2 （36.4%）＞TR3 （27.6%） ＞TR6 （17.7%）. CONCLUSIONS Although the regimen of P-CAB combined with high-dose amoxicillin for 14 days demonstrates the best efficacy， the combination of P-CAB with high-dose amoxicillin for 10 days exhibits a better balanced profile in terms of both efficacy and safety.

BACKGROUND:Sarcopenia is an age-related condition characterized by the loss of skeletal muscle mass,strength,and/or physical function.Currently,effective treatments for sarcopenia remain limited.A new therapeutic approach to improve symptoms and prognosis of sarcopenia patients clinically was important.OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of canine adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells and their exosomes on a dexamethasone-induced sarcopenia in mice.METHODS:Mesenchymal stem cells were isolated and cultured from canine adipose tissue,and identified and functionally evaluated through flow cytometry and differentiation assays for osteogenesis,adipogenesis,and chondrogenesis.Subsequently,exosomes from adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells were extracted and characterized using transmission electron microscopy,western blot assay,and nanocoulter tracking analysis.In vitro,the effects of canine adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells and their exosomes on myotube growth and the expression of muscle atrophy-related genes were investigated using dexamethasone-induced C2C12 myotube atrophy and aging C2C12 models.In vivo,a dexamethasone-induced mouse sarcopenia model was established and received intraperitoneal or intravenous injection of canine adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells.Therapeutic efficacy was assessed through mouse rotarod performance,histopathological analysis,and muscle atrophy-related genes testing.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The isolated canine adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells highly expressed CD73,CD90,and CD105,and lowly expressed MHC-Ⅱ,CD14,CD19,CD34,and CD45,and successfully differentiated into osteoblasts,adipocytes,and chondrocytes in vitro.(2)The adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells-derived exosomes met the identification criteria in terms of particle size,electron microscopy morphology,and positive expression of specific markers.(3)Compared to the dexamethasone-induced C2C12 atrophy group,treatment with adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells and their exosomes promoted the recovery and growth of myotubes,inhibited the expression of muscle atrophy-related genes MuRF1 and Atrogin-1.(4)Compared to the aging C2C12 group,adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells and their exosomes significantly enhanced the recovery and growth of aged muscle tubes in aging cells.(5)Compared to the control group,the rotarod time in dexamethasone-induced sarcopenia model mice was significantly decreased(P＜0.01).After 7 days(P＜0.01,P＜0.01)and 10 days(P＜0.01,P＜0.05)of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells treatment via intraperitoneal and intravenous injection,rotarod time was significantly increased,respectively.After 14 days,all treatment groups showed longer rotarod times than the model group,although with no significant differences between them.(6)Compared to the control group,the cross-sectional area of anterior tibial muscle in the model group was significantly reduced(P＜0.01),and it was significantly increased after intraperitoneal and intravenous administration of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).(7)Compared to the model group,intraperitoneal and intravenous administration of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells significantly inhibited the mRNA expression of MuRF1 and Atrogin-1 genes(P＜0.01,P＜0.01,P＜0.01,P＜0.01).The results indicated that adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells and their exosomes promoted recovery and growth of atrophic myotube cells by inhibiting the expression of muscle atrophy-related genes,and both intraperitoneal and intravenous administration of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells provided good therapeutic effects on sarcopenia in mice.

Malnutrition is one of the main complications for gastric cancer patients, with an incidence rate as high as 65% to 85%, severely affecting their quality of life and survival rate. This issue is particularly prominent during out-of-hospital treatment, as patients often lack nutritional knowledge and do not receive continuous nutritional management. Therefore, ensuring that patients continue to receive effective nutritional management after discharge is crucial. This study explored three primary models of nutritional management for gastric cancer patients after discharge: the multidisciplinary team collaboration model, three-level nutritional management model, and the Internet+ model. It also analyzed the shortcomings and challenges these models face in practice, with the aim of providing a reference for clinical work.

Objective:To seek any correlation between hypoesthesia and sensory disturbance to motor function among stroke survivors.Methods:One hundred and two stroke survivors with hyperalgesia were treated with sinusoidal alternating current at 2000Hz, 250Hz or 5Hz to stimulate the fingers and toes on their healthy and hemiplegic sides. Current perception thresholds (CPTs) and pain tolerance thresholds (PTTs) were recorded. The correlation between the degree of sensory disturbance in the hemiplegic limb and muscle strength was explored.Results:①The degree of sensory impairment in those who had suffered a cerebral hemorrhage was significantly greater than among those with cerebral infarction, without significant difference in pain tolerance between different genders and affected sides. ②All of the patients with sensory impairment showed significantly higher CPT and PTT values at the different frequencies, with a positive correlation between them. ③The CPT values of the affected hand and foot at the different frequencies were negatively correlated with muscle strength on the affected side.Conclusions:Both CPT and PTT can usefully represent the degree of sensory disturbance after a stroke. The CPT values of patients with different types of stroke are significantly different, and the degree of sensory disturbance is correlated with the muscle strength of the affected side. Therefore, it is helpful for prognostic judgment and individualized rehabilitation treatment planning by quantifying the degree of sensory disturbance.

An airway segmentation method based on coordinate information and multi-scale parallel network is proposed to solve the problem of insufficient accuracy of airway model in surgical navigation.Airway features at different scales are learned separately by a parallel network to address the feature conflict arising from airways of different sizes.Then,a coordinate guided up-sampling module is designed to utilize coordinate information from shallow features for guiding reconstruction of deeper features,thus restricting the spatial location of the target and improving the model accuracy.Finally,a channel guided multi-scale feature aggregation module is constructed to capture semantic details across multiple scales and investigate channel relationships between features at different scales.The proposed method and other models are trained and tested on two public datasets,namely LIDC-IDRI and EXACT'09.Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves an average Dice coefficient of 93.20%which is 2.61%higher than 3D U-Net,a false positive rate of only 0.012%,a tree length detection rate of 88.59%,and a branch detection rate of 97.42%,demonstrating that the method can be applied to lung disease diagnosis or navigation bronchoscopy.
