Hygroscopicity research has long been a key focus and hot topic in Chinese materia medica(CMM). Elucidating hygroscopic mechanisms plays a vital role in formulation design, process optimization, and storage condition selection. Hygroscopic models serve as essential tools for characterizing CMM hygroscopic mechanisms, with various types available. The double exponential model is a kinetic mathematical model constructed based on the law of conservation of energy and Fick's first law of diffusion, tailored to the physical properties of CMM extracts. In recent years, this model has been extensively applied to simulate the dynamic moisture absorption behavior of CMM extracts and solid dosage forms under varying humidity conditions. It has revealed the correlation between moisture absorption kinetic parameters and material properties, offering a new perspective for characterizing the moisture uptake behavior of CMM. This paper systematically reviews the application progress of this model in the field of CMM, analyzes its advantages, disadvantages, and challenges in this domain, and explores its potential application trends in other fields. It aims to provide references for elucidating the moisture absorption mechanisms of CMM and researching moisture-proofing technologies, while also offering insights for its broader application in food and polymer materials.

Objective:
To examine the relationship between self-management behaviors and time perspective among patients with comorbid diabetes, so as to provide the evidence for improving self-management behaviors among patients with comorbid diabetes.
Methods:
The patients with comorbid diabetes who were registered in the chronic disease health management system of Minhang District, Shanghai Municipality in 2021, followed up regularly, and lived in Meilong Town were recruited. Demographic information and family history of diabetes were collected through questionnaire surveys. Time perspective and self-management behaviors were assessed using the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory and Diabetes Self-Management Behavior Scale, respectively. The relationship between self-management behaviors and time perspective was analyzed using a multivariable ordinal logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 907 patients with comorbid diabetes were enrolled, including 472 males (52.04%) and 435 females (47.96%). There were 652 cases aged 65 years and above, accounting for 71.89%. In terms of the types of time perspective, 280 patients were future-oriented (30.87%), 236 were balanced (26.02%), 162 were sensation-seeking (17.86%), 123 were fatalistic (13.56%), and 106 were negative (11.69%). In terms of the self-management behaviors, 46 patients were good (5.07%), 643 were moderate (70.89%), and 218 were poor (24.04%). Multivariable ordinal logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for age, gender, educational level, marital status, occupation status, monthly income, and family history of diabetes, the patients with comorbid diabetes who had a future-oriented time perspective had better self-management behaviors (OR=1.874, 95%CI: 1.204-2.915).
Conclusion
The self-management behaviors among patients with comorbid diabetes are moderate to poor, and patients with a future-oriented time perspective can better engage in self-management behaviors.

Objective:
To investigate the trajectories of fasting blood glucose fluctuations and their influencing factors among patients with comorbidity of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), so as to provide the basis for strengthening blood glucose management in this population.
Methods:
In October 2023, data of patients diagnosed with comorbid T2DM from January to October 2021, including demographic information, lifestyle, health status and fasting blood glucose were collected through the chronic disease health management system of Minhang District, Shanghai Municipality. Fasting blood glucose fluctuation trajectories were analyzed by group-based trajectory model established based on fasting blood glucose values from January 2021 to October 2023. Influencing factors of fasting blood glucose fluctuation trajectories among patients with comorbidity of T2DM were analyzed using a multinomial logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 907 patients with comorbidity of T2DM were enrolled, including 472 males (52.04%) and 435 females (47.96%). There were 652 cases aged ≥65 years, accounting for 71.89%. The group-based trajectory model analysis identified three trajectory groups: a low-level stable group (492 cases, 54.24%), a medium-level stable group (287 cases, 31.64%), and a high-level decreasing group (128 cases, 14.11%). Multinomial logistic regression analysis showed that, compared with the low-level stable group, patients with comorbidity of T2DM who had an education level of junior high school or below (OR=1.420, 95%CI: 1.011-1.995) or college degree or above (OR=2.109, 95%CI: 1.249-3.560), as well as those who engaged in regular exercise (OR=1.387, 95%CI: 1.017-1.893), were more likely to be in the medium-level stable group. Patients with comorbidity of T2DM who were overweight or obese (OR=1.675, 95%CI: 1.116-2.513) or had dyslipidemia (OR=3.195, 95%CI: 1.642-6.216) were more likely to be in the high-level decreasing group.
Conclusions
From January 2021 to October 2023, the fasting blood glucose levels of patients with comorbidity of T2DM exhibited three fluctuating trajectories: low-level stability, medium-level stability, and high-level decline. Compared with the low-level stable group, the medium-level stable group was mainly influenced by educational level and regular exercise. The high-level decline group was primarily affected by overweight/obesity and dyslipidemia.

In order to meet the need of autonomous control of patients with severe limb disorders, this paper designs a nursing bed control system based on motor imagery-brain computer interface (MI-BCI). In view of the low decoding performance of cross-subjects and the dynamic fluctuation of cognitive state in the existing MI-BCI technology, the neural network structure optimization and user interaction feedback enhancement are improved. Firstly, the optimized dual-branch graph convolution multi-scale neural network integrates dynamic graph convolution and multi-scale convolution. The average classification accuracy is higher than that of multi-scale attention temporal convolution network, Gram angle field combined with convolution long short term memory hybrid network, Transformer-based graph convolution network and other existing methods. Secondly, a dual visual feedback mechanism is constructed, in which electroencephalogram (EEG) topographic map feedback can improve the discrimination of spatial patterns, and attention state feedback can enhance the temporal stability of signals. Compared with the single EEG topographic map feedback and non-feedback system, the average classification accuracy of the proposed method is also greatly improved. Finally, in the four classification control task of nursing bed, the average control accuracy of the system is 90.84%, and the information transmission rate is 84.78 bits/min. In summary, this paper provides a reliable technical solution for improving the autonomous interaction ability of patients with severe limb disorders, which has important theoretical significance and application value.

Objective:
To understand the nutritional literacy level and associated factors of primary and secondary school students in Beijing, so as to provide a scientific basis for improving student nutrition.
Methods:
From October 2022 to May 2023, a multi stage cluster random sampling method was employed to select a total of 14 568 primary, junior and senior high school students from 16 districts (ecluding the Economic Technological Development area) in Beijing. Through a survey questionnaire on nutritional literacy and dietary hehavior of school age children, basic information as well as data on nutritional literacy levels across four dimensions:nutrition related knowledge concepts, food selection, food preparation, and food intake dimensions were obtained. The Wilcoxon rank sum test, Kruskal-Wallis test, Spearman correlation analysis, Chi square test and binary Logistic regression were used for the analysis.
Results:
The median total score of nutritional literacy among primary and secondary school students in Beijing was 68.8. Approximately 26.0% of primary and secondary school students achieved nutritional literacy standards. The median scores and rates of meeting the standards for nutrition related knowledge concepts, food selection, food preparation and food intake dimensions were 23.0, 42.1%; 17.0, 27.4%; 6.5, 33.5%; 23.0, 33.3%, respectively. There were positive correlations between all pairs of the four dimensions ( r=0.33-0.49, P <0.05). The results of multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that primary school students, junior high school students, female students, suburban students, caregivers with a college education level and a bachelor s degree or above were the positive arrelation factors that promoted the achievement of nutritional literacy standards ( OR =2.21, 1.39, 1.18, 1.27, 1.42, 1.66, P <0.05).
Conclusion
The literacy level of primary and secondary school students in Beijing needs to be significantly improved. School stage, gender, region and caregiver s education level are associated factors.
