ObjectiveBased on non-targeted metabolomics， to analyze the regulation of endogenous differential metabolites in serum of type 2 diabetes mellitus（T2DM） rats by Fuling Yunhua granules， and to clarify the metabolic pathways through which this granules exerted its effect on improving T2DM. MethodSeventy SD rats， half male and half female， were randomly divided into the control group， model group， and high， medium， low dose groups of Fuling Yunhua granules（20.70， 10.35， 5.18 g·kg^-1 in raw drug amount） and the positive drug group（pioglitazone hydrochloride tablets， 8.1 mg·kg^-1）. Except for the control group， other groups were fed with high-sugar and high-fat diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin（STZ） to establish a T2DM rat model. After successful modeling， the treatment groups were administered the corresponding drugs by gavage， and the control group and model group were treated with an equal volume of saline by gavage， once/d， for 28 d. Fasting blood glucose（FBG） and glycosylated hemoglobin A1c（GHbA1c） levels were measured in all groups of rats during the administration period， and hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining was used to observe the pathomorphological changes in the pancreatic tissues of rats at the end of the administration period. The endogenous metabolite levels in rat serum were detected by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-linear ion trap-electrostatic field orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry（UPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap MS）， and the data were processed using principal component analysis（PCA） and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis（OPLS-DA）. Differential metabolites were identified by the Human Metabolome Database（HMDB） and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes（KEGG）， and screened for differential metabolites with variable importance in the projection（VIP） value>1， P<0.05， and fold change（FC）<0.6 or FC>1. And the metabolic pathway enrichment analysis of the screened differential metabolites was performed by MetaboAnalyst 5.0， then the screened differential metabolites were diagnosed and evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic（ROC） curves. ResultCompared with the control group， the FBG level of rats in the model group increased significantly（P<0.01）， the GHbA1c content tended to increase， but the difference was not statistically significant， and the pancreatic tissue of rats was obviously damaged， the number of pancreatic islets decreased， and the pancreatic β-cells were obviously reduced， atrophied and enlarged. Compared with the model group， the FBG levels of rats in the high dose group of Fuling Yunhua granules and the positive drug group were significantly reduced after 2 weeks of administration（P<0.05， P<0.01）， the GHbA1c content of rats in the high dose group of Fuling Yunhua granules was significantly reduced（P<0.05）， and the pancreatic tissue lesions of rats in the different dose groups of Fuling Yunhua granules were reduced. The results of non-targeted metabolomics showed that 46 differential metabolites were significantly changed in the model group compared with the blank group. Pathway enrichment analysis found that T2DM mainly affected biological processes including biosynthesis of primary bile acid， D-amino acid metabolism， steroid hormone biosynthesis， and glycerophospholipid metabolism in rats. Compared with the model group， the levels of 8 differential metabolites in the high dose group of Fuling Yunhua granules were significantly adjusted， and the pathway enrichment analysis found that D-amino acid metabolism， retinol metabolism， glycine， serine and threonine metabolism， tryptophan metabolism and other metabolic pathways were mainly involved. ROC curves further analysis revealed that the four characteristic differential markers of 11-cis-retinol， D-piperidinic acid， D-serine， and p-cresol sulfate had high diagnostic value for the treatment of T2DM with Fuling Yunhua granules. ConclusionFuling Yunhua granules can improve the symptoms of T2DM rats by regulating the amino acid metabolic and retinol metabolic pathways through the modulation of endogenous differential metabolites.

Objective:To estimate the costs of dementia from a societal perspective in Tongliao City and ex-plore the influencing factors of these costs.Methods:Dementia was diagnosed using the 10/66 Dementia Research Group assessment instruments.Data on healthcare utilization,caregiver's care time or costs,and the distress due to caregiving were collected.The cost-proportion conversion method was used to estimate the per capita cost of health services based on data from the National Statistical Yearbook.The human capital approach was used to estimate the unit value of informal care time,and the willingness-to-pay method was used to measure the intangible costs of car-egivers.The total societal costs of dementia were calculated based on the reference year 2023,and a two-part model was employed to analyze the factors influencing the societal costs.Results:A total of 390 dementia patients were di-agnosed,with an average societal cost per capita of 117 877 Yuan.The largest cost component was informal care provided by unpaid family members,accounting for 73.1％of the total societal cost.The societal costs for female patients were 61 395 Yuan higher than those for male patients.Patients with comorbid stroke had a higher societal cost of 63 008 Yuan compared to patients without stroke,and each additional chronic disease added 5 868 Yuan to societal costs.Additionally,each non-memory dimension impairment in the Clinical Dementia Rating Scale in-creased the societal costs by 53 997 Yuan.Conclusion:Dementia poses a significant socio-economic burden,with informal care being the major component of this burden.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective:To explore the pathogenesis of neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE) from imaging perspective by analyzing voxel-based morphology (VBM) and functional connectivity (FC) in resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI).Methods:Thirty-five patients with NPSLE and 30 patients with non-NPSLE admitted to Department of Rheumatology and Immunology, Taizhou People's Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from June 2020 to March 2023 were enrolled; 31 healthy subjects were included as healthy control group during the same period. All subjects completed routine MRI and rs-fMRI, laboratory tests (C3, C4, IgA, IgM and IgG levels), mini-mental state examination (MMSE), hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS), and fatigue scale for motor and cognitive functions (FSMC). Whole brain gray matter volume in subjects of the 3 groups was analyzed by VBM method, and the brain regions enjoying significant differences in gray matter volume between the NPSLE group and non-NPSLE group were selected as regions of interest (ROIs) for whole brain FC analysis. Partial correlation method was used to analyze the correlations of imaging indexes in brain regions enjoying significant differences with clinical indexes and imaging scores between NPSLE group and non-NPSLE group. Efficacy of imaging indexes in brain regions enjoying significant difference in differentiating NPSLE from non-NPSLE was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:(1) Covariance analysis among the 3 groups showed that the gray matter volume in the left inferior frontal gyrus of orbit, left superior frontal gyrus, right rectus gyrus, right transverse temporal gyrus, and right superior frontal gyrus was significantly different among the 3 groups ( P<0.001, FDR corrected); compared with the healthy control group, the NPSLE group had significantly reduced gray matter volume in the left inferior frontal gyrus of orbit, left superior frontal gyrus of orbit, right rectus gyrus, right transverse temporal gyrus, and right superior frontal gyrus ( P<0.001, FDR corrected); compared with the non-NPSLE group, the NPSLE group had significantly decreased gray matter volume in the left inferior frontal gyrus of orbit, right rectus gyrus, and right transverse temporal gyrus ( P<0.001, FDR corrected). (2) Whole brain FC analysis with brain regions enjoying significant differences as seed points showed that Fisher z-transformed FC (zFC) in the right transverse temporal gyrus and bilateral postcentral gyrus of the NPSLE group were significantly decreased ( P<0.001, FDR corrected). (3) Partial correlation analysis showed that, in the NPSLE group, zFC from the right transverse temporal gyrus to left posterior central gyrus was negatively correlated with disease course ( r=-0.390, P=0.027); gray matter volume in the right orbital superior frontal gyrus was negatively correlated with FSMC-cognitive ( r=-0.401, P=0.023); the gray matter volume in the right orbital superior frontal gyrus was negatively correlated with FSMC-motor ( r=-0.374, P=0.035). (4) ROC curve found that gray matter volume in the right rectus gyrus and zFC from the right transverse temporal gyrus to the right posterior central gyrus had relatively high efficacy in differentiating NPSLE from non-NPSLE, with AUC of 0.771 (95% CI: 0.658-0.885, P<0.001) and 0.794 (95% CI: 0.685-0.904, P<0.001), respectively. Conclusion:NPSLE patients have reduced gray matter volume in multiple brain regions (concentrating in the prefrontal limbic system); and reduced FC with some brain regions is noted; multiple indexes are correlated with clinical indexes.

Objective To explore the effect of century cloud weight loss(CCWL)follow-up system on the dietary behavior compliance,follow-up rate and weight loss effect of patients after bariatric surgery.Methods A total of 222 obese patients undergoing Beijing Shijitan Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University in 2022 were selected as the study subjects.A total of 108 patients from January to June 2022 were included in control group,and routine follow-up management mode was adopted.A total of 114 patients from July to December 2022 were included in intervention group and were followed up by CCWL follow-up system.The dietary behavior compliance,postoperative follow-up rate,percentage of excess weight loss(%EWL),glucose and lipid metabolism indexes were compared between two groups.Results At 1 month,3 months and 6 months after surgery,the eating behavior after bariatric surgery(EBBS)score,follow-up rate and%EWL of patients in intervention group were significantly higher than those in control group(P<0.05).At 1 month after surgery,there was no significant difference in triacylglycerol(TG),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),fasting blood glucose(FBG)levels in two groups(P>0.05),and 2-hour postprandial blood glucose(2hBG)in intervention group was significantly lower than that in control group(P<0.05).At 3 months and 6 months after surgery,TG,FBG and 2hBG in intervention group were significantly lower than those in control group,while HDL-C was significantly higher than that in control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The application of CCWL follow-up system in patients with bariatric surgery can improve postoperative eating behavior,increase postoperative follow-up rate,and strengthen the effect of postoperative weight loss.

Objective To investigate the mental resilience of disabled elderly with suicidal ideation in nursing homes and analyze its related factors.Methods By using convenience sampling and the Chinese version of the Beck scale for suicide ideation,a total of 119 disabled elderly with suicidal ideation were screened from 8 nursing homes in Chongqing from May to October 2022.Then they were investigated with the general information questionnaire,the Memorial University of Newfoundland scale of happiness,the 10-item connor-davidson resilience scale and the hospital depression scale.Results The average score of resilience of disabled elderly with suicidal ideation was(1.58±0.70)points,which was at a lower level.There were statistically significant differences in the mental resilience of disabled elderly with suicidal ideation in terms of the nature of the nursing homes,the degree of disability and education,the length of stay,the frequency of communication with relatives and participation in collective activities.The mental resilience of disabled elderly with suicidal ideation was negatively correlated with depressive symptoms(r1=-0.631,P＜0.001),and positively correlated with subjective well-being(r2=0.652,P＜0.001).Among disabled elderly with suicidal ideation,the degree of education and subjective well-being positively predicted mental resilience,while depressive symptoms negatively predicted mental resilience(adjusted R2=0.521,P＜O.001).Conclusion The mental resilience level of disabled elderly with suicidal ideation in nursing homes is lower.Nursing homes should focus on improving the mental resilience of disabled elderly with lower educational level,lower subjective well-being and higher depression symptoms,so as to improve their adaptability.

Objective To observe the efficacy of Jieyu Fuwei Powder in the treatment of patients with functional dyspepsia (FD). Methods A total of 66 patients with chronic FD (type of disharmony between liver and stomach) from the outpatient clinic of Hai'an Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine were randomly divided into two groups, with 33 cases in each group. Control group was treated with domperidone, while treatment group was treated with Jieyu Fuwei Powder. The total effective rate, scores of traditional Chinese medicine syndromes, levels of serum 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), substance P (SP), gastrin (GAS) and motilin (MTL) as well as the incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Volunteers from the two groups after treatment (14 cases in the control group and 13 cases in the treatment group) were recruited to receive outpatient gastroscopy and obtain biopsy tissues for histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis of GAS and MTL. Results The total effective rate in the treatment group was 90.91%, which was significantly higher than 69.70% in the control group (P < 0.05). After treatment, the scores of symptoms such as pain in both sides of the chest, epigastric fullness, upper abdominal discomfort, belching, heartburn and irritability in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.01). After treatment, the levels of serum 5-HT and SP decreased significantly while the levels of MTL and GAS increased significantly in both groups, and the levels of serum 5-HT and SP were significantly lower in the treatment group than those in the control group, while the levels of MTL and GAS were significantly higher in the treatment group than those in the control group (P < 0.05 orP < 0.01). The incidence of adverse reactions was 6.06% (2/33) in the treatment group and 9.09% (3/33) in the control group, with no significant difference between two groups (P>0.05). Hematoxylin an eosin (HE) staining of biopsy tissues showed no significant difference in pathology between the two groups, and immunohistochemical results suggested that the expression level of GAS and MTL in the treatment group was higher than that in the control group. Conclusion Efficacy of Jieyu Fuwei Powder in the treatment of FD differentiated as type of disharmony between liver and stomach is superior to domperidone, and its mechanism may be related to the intervention of brain-gut interaction.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate reproductive concerns among breast cancer patients of reproductive age, analyze the influencing factors, explore the relationship between coping styles, fear of progression (FOP), and reproductive concerns, and identify the multiple effects of coping styles on the relationship between FOP and reproductive concerns among Chinese breast cancer patients. Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted among breast cancer patients in four tertiary grade A hospitals in Fujian, China, from January 2022 to September 2022. A total of 210 patients were recruited to complete paper-based questionnaires, which included the general data questionnaires, the Reproductive Concerns After Cancer Scale (RCACS), the Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form (FOP-Q-SF), and the Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire (MCMQ). Structural equation models were utilized to evaluate the multiple effects of coping styles on FOP and reproductive concerns. Results: Reproductive concerns in breast cancer patients had a mean score of 53.02 (SD, 10.69), out of a total score of 90, and coping styles for cancer (confrontation, avoidance) were closely associated with FOP and reproductive concerns. FOP showed a significant positive correlation with reproductive concerns (r = .52, p < .01). At the same time, confrontation was significantly negatively correlated with both FOP (r = −.28, p < .01) and reproductive concerns (r = −.39, p < .01). Avoidance was positively correlated to both FOP (r = .25, p < .01) and reproductive concerns (r = .34, p < .01). The impact of FOP on reproductive concerns is partially mediated by confrontation and avoidance, with effect sizes of .07 and .04, respectively. These mediating factors account for 22.0% of the total effect. Conclusions The FOP directly impacted reproductive concerns, while coping styles could partially mediate the association between FOP and reproductive concerns. This study illustrates the role of confrontation and avoidance in alleviating reproductive concerns, suggesting that it is necessary to focus on the changes in reproductive concerns among reproductive-age breast cancer patients. Healthcare professionals can improve disease awareness and reduce patients' FOP, thereby promoting positive psychological and coping behaviors and ultimately alleviating reproductive concerns.

Objective:To explore the predictive value of HACOR score [heart rate (H), acidosis (A), consciousness (C), oxygenation (O), and respiratory rate (R)] on the clinical outcome of non-invasive positive pressure ventilation in patients with pulmonary encephalopathy due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods:A prospective study was conducted. The patients with COPD combined with pulmonary encephalopathy who were admitted to Henan Provincial People's Hospital from January 1, 2017 to June 1, 2021 and initially received non-invasive positive pressure ventilation were enrolled. Besides non-invasive positive pressure ventilation, standard medical treatments were delivered to these patients according to guidelines. The need for endotracheal intubation was judged as failure of non-invasive ventilation treatment. Early failure was defined as the need for endotracheal intubation within 48 hours of treatment, and late failure was defined as the need for endotracheal intubation 48 hours and later. The HACOR score at different time points after non-invasive ventilation, the length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, the total length of hospital stay, and the clinical outcome were recorded. The above indexes of patients with non-invasive ventilation were compared between successful and failed groups. The receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was drawn to evaluate the predictive effect of HACOR score on the failure of non-invasive positive pressure ventilation in the treatment of COPD with pulmonary encephalopathy.Results:A total of 630 patients were evaluated, and 51 patients were enrolled, including 42 males (82.35%) and 9 females (17.65%), with a median age of 70.0 (62.0, 78.0) years old. Among the 51 patients, 36 patients (70.59%) were successfully treated with non-invasive ventilation and discharged from the hospital eventually, and 15 patients (29.41%) failed and switched to invasive ventilation, of which 10 patients (19.61%) were defined early failure, 5 patients (9.80%) were late failure. The length of ICU and the total length of hospital stay of the non-invasive ventilation successful group were significantly longer than those of the non-invasive ventilation failure group [length of ICU stay (days): 13.0 (10.0, 16.0) vs. 5.0 (3.0, 8.0), total length of hospital stay (days): 23.0 (12.0, 28.0) vs. 12.0 (9.0, 15.0), both P < 0.01]. The HACOR score of patients at 1-2 hours in the non-invasive ventilation failure group was significantly higher than that in the successful group [10.47 (6.00, 16.00) vs. 6.00 (3.25, 8.00), P < 0.05]. However, there was no significant difference in HACOR score before non-invasive ventilation and at 3-6 hours between the two groups. The ROC curve showed that the area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 1-2 hour HACOR score after non-invasive ventilation for predicting non-invasive ventilation failure in COPD patients with pulmonary encephalopathy was 0.686, and the 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 0.504-0.868. When the best cut-off value was 10.50, the sensitivity was 60.03%, the specificity was 86.10%, positive predictive value was 91.23%, and negative predictive value was 47.21%. Conclusions:Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation could prevent 70.59% of COPD patients with pulmonary encephalopathy from intubation. HACOR score was valuable to predict non-invasive positive pressure ventilation failure in pulmonary encephalopathy patients due to COPD.
