		                        			ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Yifei Jianpi prescription on the of signal transducer and activator of transcription protein 1 (STAT1)/interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) signaling pathway in a pneumonia model induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and to explore the mechanism of Yifei Jianpi prescription in improving lung immune and inflammatory responses. MethodsSixty male SPF SD rats were used in this study. Ten rats were randomly assigned to the normal control group, and the remaining 50 were instilled with LPS in the trachea to establish a pneumonia model. After successful modeling, the rats were randomly divided into the model group, dexamethasone group (0.5 mg·kg-1), and Yifei Jianpi prescription high-dose (12 mg·kg-1), medium-dose (6 mg·kg-1), and low-dose (3 mg·kg-1) groups, with 10 rats in each group. Treatment was administered once daily, and the normal control and model groups received the same volume of normal saline. After 14 days, flow cytometry was used to detect the classification of whole blood lymphocytes. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure serum levels of immunoglobulin G (IgG), immunoglobulin A (IgA), immunoglobulin M (IgM), and the content of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-8 (IL-8), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-10 (IL-10) in alveolar lavage fluid (BALF). Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe lung tissue pathology and score the damage. Thymus weight, spleen weight, and wet-to-dry weight ratio (W/D) were recorded. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) was used to detect the mRNA expression of STAT1, IRF3, IL-6, and interferon-alpha (IFN-α) in lung tissues, while Western blot was performed to assess the protein expression of STAT1, IRF3, IL-6, and IFN-α. ResultsCompared with the normal control group, the model group showed significantly increased proportion of B lymphocytes in peripheral blood, decreased proportions of NK cells and CD4+/CD8+ (P<0.05, P<0.01), decreased serum levels of IgG and IgA, significantly increased IgM levels (P<0.01), significantly elevated content of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-8 in BALF, and significantly decreased IL-10 levels (P<0.01). Lung tissue damage was evident, with significant increases in thymus and spleen weights and a higher W/D ratio (P<0.01). The mRNA and protein expression of STAT1, IRF3, IFN-α, and IL-6 in lung tissues was significantly upregulated (P<0.05,P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the Yifei Jianpi prescription groups showed significantly reduced proportions of B lymphocytes in peripheral blood, increased proportions of NK cells and CD4+/CD8+ ratios (P<0.05, P<0.01), significantly increased serum levels of IgG and IgA, significantly decreased IgM levels (P<0.05, P<0.01), significantly reduced levels of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-8 in BALF, and significantly increased IL-10 levels (P<0.01). Lung tissue damage was alleviated, thymus and spleen weights were significantly reduced, and the W/D ratio was markedly decreased (P<0.01). The mRNA and protein expression of STAT1, IRF3, IFN-α, and IL-6 in lung tissues was significantly downregulated (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionYifei Jianpi prescription can alleviate lung tissue damage and improve immune and inflammatory responses in LPS-induced pneumonia rats. The mechanism may be related to the inhibition of STAT1/IRF3 signaling pathway activation.

		                        			Objective:
		                        			To explore the associations of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) and sedentary behavior (SB) among primary and secondary school students and their parents, so as to provide a scientific basis for formulating targeted physical activity promotion strategies for children and adolescents.
		                        		
		                        			Methods:
		                        			From 2021 to 2022, basic information and  24 h  movement behaviors of 2 484 pairs of students and their parents were collected from five primary and secondary schools in Haizhu District, Guangzhou City, with a convenient sampling combining with cluster sampling method. Component regression models were constructed to analyze the relationship between parental MVPA, SB and primary and secondary school students  MVPA and SB, and a component isochronous substitution model was used to explore the effects of mutual substitution between parental MVPA, residual components (time use components other than SB during the 24 h period), and SB on the behavioral activities of MVPA and SB in primary and secondary school students.
		                        		
		                        			Results:
		                        			Parental MVPA and SB of students in grade 1 to 3 were positively correlated with both students  MVPA and SB ( β=0.06, 0.12, P <0.01). The component isochronous substitution model showed that substituting 10 and 20 minutes of MVPA for SB by parents in grade 1 to 3 was associated with an increase in MVPA of students, and substituting 10 and 20 minutes of residual ingredients for SB was associated with a decrease in SB of students, with mean changes of 0.8 (95% CI =0.4-1.2) and 1.4 (95% CI =0.7-2.2) and -1.4 (95% CI =-1.7 to -1.1) and -2.9 (95% CI =-3.4 to -2.3)( P <0.05). No statistically significant associations were observed between parents of students in grades 4 to 6 and 7 to 9 and students  physical activity and sedentary behaviour ( P >0.05).
		                        		
		                        			Conclusions
		                        			Parents of students in grades 1 to 3 increases MVPA and decrease SB are beneficial to increase MVPA and decrease SB of students. Parents could promote physical activity among primary and secondary school students, and the intervention gateway should be advanced, with the low grades as the optimal intervention period.

		                        			This paper aims to discuss the construction and promotion strategy of medical care capacity framework based on the core literacy of palliative care, combining domestic and foreign research and clinical status. The research results show that it is particularly important to construct a framework of medical care competence based on palliative care. The core competencies required for palliative care include the ability to comprehensively evaluate and formulate personalized programs, effective communication skills, interdisciplinary teamwork skills, and the ability to continuously learn and improve themselves. The quality of care can be further improved if the above abilities are incorporated into the framework of medical care ability based on palliative care. However, there are a series of problems in the process of constructing the framework of palliative medical care capacity, such as difficult implementation of policy support, poor professionalism of talent team, single and irregular service model, low social acceptance, and difficult interdisciplinary cooperation and resource integration. After a detailed analysis of the problems, this paper puts forward the countermeasures to construct the framework of caring ability literacy based on palliative care. Effective countermeasures such as increasing policy support, cultivating comprehensive talents, developing diversified palliative care models, improving social recognition, and strengthening interdisciplinary cooperation and resource integration can effectively improve the core literacy and professional ability of medical care personnel, and then promote the development and improvement of palliative care services. In-depth discussion of the above contents can provide scientific reference for building a care model and literacy framework with palliative care as the core.

		                        			 To investigate the genetic relatedness between carbapenem-resistant  A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from patients screened for carbapenem-resistant  Among 12 878 patients screened for CRE, 60 (0.47%) were identified with intestinal CRKP colonization. Of these, 6 (10.0%) developed bloodstream infections, with an all-cause mortality rate of 66.7% (4/6) during hospitalization. The predominant strain type among paired isolates was ST11-KL64 producing KPC-2, accounting for 91.7%(11/12) of cases. Except for one patient(with a categorical agreement of 82.6%), colonizing and bloodstream isolates from the same patient showed complete agreement (100% categorical agreement) in antimicrobial susceptibility profiles for all antibiotics except tigecycline. Intraclass correlation coefficients for biofilm formation and siderophore production were both > 0.75 of all paired strains, indicating high phenotypic consistency. Except for one patient, core genome single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis and phylogenetic reconstruction revealed high genetic homology between colonizing and bloodstream isolates from the same patient (SNP difference < 10). Clonal relatedness was also observed among colonizing strains from different departments (SNP difference < 120). Although the intestinal colonization rate of CRKP is low, it poses a high mortality risk once bloodstream infection occurs. The high consistency in antimicrobial resistance profiles, biofilm formation, siderophore production, and genomic homology between colonizing and bloodstream isolates suggests that intestinal colonization is the direct source of subsequent invasive infection. Enhanced early screening, dynamic monitoring, risk-stratified prevention, and optimized intervention strategies are recommended to reduce the risk of CRKP infection and mortality.

		                        			Given the current ethical issues such as unknown high risks in the clinical application of new biomedical technology, thus, medical institutions need to establish new technology management systems, including clarifying the concept, the assessment and admission mechanism, and ethical management systems of new technology. According to the direction of the development of new technology in the medical institution, the ethics review committee should also perfect the management system of ethics committees and the professional composition of ethics review committee members, improve the ability of ethics committee members to evaluate new biomedical technology, increase the assessment of ethical risks of new technology in the preliminary review stage, strengthen the requirements for emergency plan formulation, as well as set the frequency of the follow-up review based on the risk level of new technology. The ethics review committee should work together with the medical management department to formulate an ethical standardization training system for the clinical application of medical technology in the institution, and regularly conduct training for all staff, to promote medical workers’ understanding of the management requirements of biomedical technologies. Different types of new biomedical technology have different ethical risks. Therefore, the medical management departments and ethics review committees of medical institutions should formulate specific management rules based on the characteristics of new technology types. However, it should be noted that when new biomedical technology generally is first introduced into clinical practice, there are often issues regarding fairness and justice in the use of the technology.

		                        			 AIM: To investigate the changes in serum levels of trefoil factor 1(Tff1)and bone morphogenetic protein 4(BMP4)in patients with diabetic retinopathy, and to evaluate their diagnostic value for diabetic retinopathy.METHODS: From January 2022 to January 2024, 186 patients with type 2 diabetes were selected as the study group and divided into a retinopathy subgroup(52 cases)and a non-retinopathy subgroup(134 cases)based on the presence of retinopathy. Another 186 healthy volunteers who underwent physical examinations during the same period were chosen as the control group. Serum Tff1 and BMP4 levels were measured using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). Pearson analysis was used to assess the correlation between serum Tff1, BMP4 levels, and clinical data. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors influencing the development of retinopathy in type 2 diabetic patients. Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis was conducted to evaluate the diagnostic value of serum Tff1 and BMP4 levels for retinopathy in type 2 diabetic patients.RESULTS: Compared to the control group, serum Tff1 levels were lower and BMP4 levels were higher in both retinopathy and non-retinopathy subgroups(all P<0.05). Specifically, serum Tff1 levels were lower and BMP4 levels were higher in the retinopathy subgroup than in the non-retinopathy subgroup(all P<0.05). Pearson analysis revealed that Tff1 levels in type 2 diabetes patients were negatively correlated with disease duration, glycated hemoglobin levels, and triglyceride levels, while BMP4 levels were positively correlated(all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis identified type 2 diabetes duration, glycated hemoglobin, triglycerides, Tff1, and BMP4 as influencing factors for retinopathy development in type 2 diabetes patients(all P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the combined diagnosis of serum Tff1 and BMP4 had an area under the curve(AUC)of 0.901, which was significantly higher than that of Tff1 alone(Z=2.069, P=0.039)and BMP4 alone(Z=2.072, P=0.038).CONCLUSION: Serum Tff1 levels are decreased and BMP4 levels are increased in patients with diabetic retinopathy, and the combined detection of these two markers offers high diagnostic value for diabetic retinopathy.
