Background The mental health status of prison officers is crucial to the efficiency, security, and stability of a prison, and it is essential to pay attention to the factors that influence their mental health. Objective To understand the mental health status of prison officers, and analyze how nature exposure affects their mental health problems and a potential mediating role of mental fatigue. Methods A cross-sectional survey was carried out from May to June 2022 among 1392 prison officers from eight prisons in a province, and a total of 1284 valid questionnaires were recovered. The Nature Exposure Scale, Mental Fatigue Scale, and Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale were used to assess nature exposure, mental fatigue, and mental health indicators among prison officers, and to explore the effect of nature exposure on mental health problems and a potential mediating role of mental fatigue. Results The recruited prison officers showed high levels of depression, anxiety, and stress. The prevalence rates of depression, anxiety, and stress were 59.11% (759/1284), 60.67% (779/1284),and 43.93% (564/1284), respectively. The results of correlation analysis revealed that nature exposure was negatively related with mental fatigue and mental health indicators (depression, anxiety, and stress) (r_s=−0.242, −0.308, −0.235, −0.254, P<0.01), while mental fatigue was positively correlated with mental health indicators (depression, anxiety, and stress) (r_s=0.546, 0.533, 0.536, P<0.01). The PROCESS macro results showed that the level of nature exposure among prison officers negatively associated with depression, anxiety, and stress (β=−0.180, −0.104, −0.123), and mental fatigue played a mediating role, with indirect effects of −0.200, −0.192, and −0.199, respectively. Conclusion The levels of depression, anxiety, and stress of prison officers are higher than those of other occupations. Nature exposure negatively associates with depression, anxiety, and stress, that is, it may directly alleviate the mental health problems of prison officers; and it may also alleviate mental health problems by relieving mental fatigue.

Platelets have long been recognized as key players in hemostasis and thrombosis; however, there is growing evidence that they are also involved in cancer. Preclinical and clinical studies have shown that platelets can promote tumorigenesis and metastasis through various crosstalks between platelets and cancer cells. Platelets play an active role in all stages of tumorigenesis, including tumor growth, tumor cell extravasation, and metastasis. In addition, thrombocytosis in cancer patients is associated with poor patient survival. Platelets are also well-placed to coordinate local and distant tumor-host interactions due to the a- bundance of microparticles and exosomes. Therefore, antitumor drugs targeting platelets have great development and application prospects. The following will review the research progress of anti-tumor drugs targeting platelets.

From the creation of the universe to the explosion of life, to intelligent evolution, and to artificial intelligence, this is a long river of evolution. The times are asking, where do the brain and mind come from and where will they go? What is the future and destiny of human civilization? How can brain intelligence and artificial intelligence illuminate each other? Can artificial intelligence lead to the “mind” through a completely different path from biological evolution? How does intellectual creativity evolve into New Quality Productivity? The core of these questions is still how the human brain works as a whole? Here, I will outline a dialectical unity of complexity and simplicity at the micro-meso-macro-cosmological scale.

Exploring the action targets (groups) of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is an important proposition to promote the innovation and development of TCM, but it has attracted a lot of attention as to whether it is related to the efficacy or the disease. Our team found that the metabolomic signature molecules in the development of diabetes mellitus (DM) were significantly associated with the clinical efficacy of Yuquan Pill through a large clinical sample study. Taking this as a clue, our team intends to expand the information on the omics features of DM development, and discover the key targets (groups) and their lead compounds for the hypoglycemic effect of Yuquan Pill. The project includes: ① Based on the retrospective clinical trials, using omics technology integrated with generative artificial intelligence, mining the characteristic information of proteome and microbiome, forming driving factors together with metabolome characteristic molecules, and characterizing the molecular trajectories of diabetes evolution and their interference by Yuquan Pill; ② Taking the evolving molecular trajectories as a link and pointer, using anthropomorphic modeling and molecular biology techniques such as chemical proteomics to discover the key targets (groups) of Yuquan Pill's hypoglycemic effect, with the prospective clinical samples for validation; ③ Evaluate the overall response of key targets (groups) using graph neural network technology, and search for drug-derived/endogenous lead compounds with proven clinical pathologies and clear mechanisms of action, so as to provide a new paradigm and technology for the discovery of complex active ingredient targets (groups) of TCM that are related to their clinical efficacy, as well as for the discovery of innovative medicines.

Objective:To analyze the influence of 5E rehabilitation mode on cardiac function,exercise capacity,self-man-agement ability and quality of life(QOL)in patients with coronary heart disease(CHD)after percutaneous coronary inter-vention(PCI).Methods:A total of 123 patients diagnosed with CHD in our hospital from April 1,2022 to April 1,2023 were selected and divided into control group(n=61,received routine nursing mode)and observation group(n=62,5E re-habilitation nursing mode was adopted on the basis of control group)using random number table method.Both groups were continuously intervened for three months.Cardiac function,exercise capacity,self-management level and QOL were compared between the two groups before and after intervention.Results:After intervention,compared with control group,there were significant rise in SV[(69.66±4.86)ml vs.(75.94±5.29)ml],CI[(3.11±0.30)L·min-1·m-2 vs.(3.39±0.36)L·min-1·m-2],LVEF[(57.22±5.82)％vs.(68.54±5.31)％],MET[(4.36±0.64)vs.(5.09±0.86)],6min walking distance[(296.52±18.72)m vs.(359.33±19.75)m],scores of CSMS[(89.32±11.85)points vs.(112.31±9.63)points],CQQC[(111.56±9.27)points vs.(139.50±7.59)points]in observation group,P=0.001 all;and significant reductions in LVEDd[(52.12±4.84)mm vs.(41.28±4.74)mm],LVESd[(48.39±3.82)mm vs.(42.26±3.57)mm],BNP level[(99.63±6.31)pg/ml vs.(60.52±7.11)pg/ml],propor-tion of NYHA class Ⅲ(25.00％vs.10.00％)in observation group,P＜0.05 or＜0.01.Conclusion:The application of 5E rehabilitation nursing can significantly improve cardiac function,enhance exercise capacity,strengthen the self-man-agement behavior and improve quality of life in postoperative clinical nursing of patients with coronary heart disease after percutaneous coronary intervention,which has high clinical application value.

Membranous nephropathy(MN)is the predominant cause of primary nephrotic syn-drome(NS)among adults.The identification of PLA2R as target antigen has brought about a pro-found transformation in the management of MN,offering a basis for the utilization of B-cell deplet-ing agents such as rituximab(RTX).The question of whether early intervention targeting antibodies can effectively impede the progression of MN,contrib-uting to enhanced disease control and long-term renal outcomes for patients,remains further explo-ration.We analyzed demographic data,laboratory parameters,and renal involvement in 13 patients with PLA2R antibody-related MN who received at least one RTX treatment at our center from Octo-ber 2019 to March 2023.Early-stage medium-to-high-risk MN was defined as baseline or admission anti-PLA2R antibody levels exceeding 50 RU/mL,ex-cluding patients who already presented with ne-phrotic syndrome at baseline.The median duration of MN at the initiation of the first RTX treatment was 4.1 months(IQR 1-7.7),and the median follow-up time after RTX therapy was 27 months(IQR 23-45).All patients had commenced renin-angiotensin system inhibitors before receiving RTX.Following RTX therapy,none of the 13 patients progressed to NS during the follow-up period,and 12 patients achieved complete or partial remission at the 2-year follow-up or the last visit.No deaths,severe infections,or other serious adverse reactions oc-curred during the follow-up period.In conclusion,RTX demonstrates favorable efficacy and safety in early-stage,medium-to-high-risk MN patients.Initi-ating antibody clearance therapy in these patients may be beneficial for long-term disease control and distant renal outcomes.

Human brain banks use a standardized protocol to collect,process and store post-mortem human brains and related tissues,along with relevant clinical information,and to provide the tissue samples and data as a resource to foster neuroscience research according to a standardized operating protocols(SOP).Human brain bank serves as the foundation for neuroscience research and the diagnosis of neurological disorders,highlighting the crucial rule of ensuring the consistency of standardized quality for brain tissue samples.The first version of SOP in 2017 was published by the China Human Brain Bank Consortium.As members increases from different regions in China,a revised SOP was drafted by experts from the China Human Brain Bank Consortium to meet the growing demands for neuroscience research.The revised SOP places a strong emphasis on ethical standards,incorporates neuropathological evaluation of brain regions,and provides clarity on spinal cord sampling and pathological assessment.Notable enhancements in this updated version of the SOP include reinforced ethical guidelines,inclusion of matching controls in recruitment,and expansion of brain regions to be sampled for neuropathological evaluation.

Background: and Purpose Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is common in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Early recognition OH is required with sensitive assessments. The purpose of this study was to determine whether blood pressure (BP) changes during exercise can predict the occurrence of OH in PD. Methods: This prospective cohort study included 80 consecutive patients with PD. All patients agreed to participate in a baseline evaluation and cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET).According to the initial active standing test (AST), those without OH (PD-nonOH) at baseline had their AST results followed up for 6 months. The main outcome was defined as whether patients without OH at baseline would develop OH after 6 months. Logistic regression analysis was applied to identify the relevant variables. A nomogram was constructed based on clinical features and identified variables. The concordance index (C-index) and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) were used to evaluate the accuracy and predictive ability of the nomogram, respectively. Results: CPET results indicated that peak load, peak heart rate, heart rate recovery at 1 min, and systolic BP change (ΔSBP) were lower in those with OH than in the PD-nonOH group (p<0.05) at baseline. Logistic regression analysis indicated that peak load and ΔSBP during CPET had significant effects on OH (p<0.05). Age, sex, peak load, and ΔSBP were used to construct the nomogram model (C-index=0.761). The prediction model had an AUC of 0.782 (95% confidence interval=0.649–0.889) and a specificity and sensitivity of 70.0% and 81.8%, respectively. Conclusions This study has identified predictive factors for OH development in patients with PD. CPET could be used as a complementary examination to identify patients at a high risk of OH.

Abstract: Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics, prevention and control strategies, measures and the effects achieved of malaria in Huangshi City from 1951 to 2021, and to offer a reference for further strengthening malaria eradication and control successes. Methods　Descriptive epidemiological methods were used to assess the prevalence, measurements, and impacts of malaria in different time periods based on data for malaria control in Huangshi City from 1951 to 2021, and we created "semi-log" line graphs and charts to display the prevalence of disease and the effort done in prior years in terms of prevention and control. Results　Between 1951 and 2021, 527 780 cases of malaria were recorded in Huangshi, with an average annual incidence rate of 40.07/10 000. The prevention and control of malaria has gone through four stages, namely, the high prevalence of malaria stage (1951-1979), the basic elimination stage (1980-1999), the consolidation stage (2000-2010), and the eradication stage (2011-2021). Different strategies and measures have been adopted in different epidemic periods. During the high epidemic period, great efforts have been made to carry out general surveys and treatments, and strengthen the management of symptomatic patients; during the eradication stage, prominent and classified prevention and control strategies were adopted. When the incidence rate dropped to below 1/10 000, the main measures adopted were malaria monitoring, including timely discovery and standardization of infectious sources, disposal of epidemic points, management of migrant population malaria and vector monitoring. Through active prevention and control, remarkable results were achieved, and the incidence rate of malaria fell to below 1/10 000 in 1989, reaching the level of "basic elimination of malaria" issued by the Ministry in 1999, and passed the provincial malaria elimination acceptance in 2015. In recent years, with the increasing labor exports and foreign exchanges, imported malaria has been on the rise. African countries are the main sources of imported malaria, and the main species is P.falciparum. Conclusions　Malaria was once one of the main infectious diseases endangering the health of people in Huangshi City. The preventive and control methods and procedures adopted in different epidemic periods are effective. Currently, we have entered the consolidation phase of malaria elimination, with the focus of work being to monitor, report, and timely and effectively respond to imported malaria cases, thus reducing the risk of local transmission.
