Objective To explore the potential influencing factors and complex pathways affecting rehabilitation effect for children with autism spectrum disorder(ASD)from the perspective of parental efficacy in doctor-patient communication,and to provide evidence for improving the quality of rehabilitation service for children with ASD. Methods An anonymous face-to-face questionnaire survey was conducted to collect general demographic information of parents of children with ASD at designated rehabilitation institutions in Gansu province.The data included paren-tal efficacy in doctor-patient communication,parental compliance of treatment and children's rehabilitation out-comes were collected.A structural equation model was used to explore the impact mechanism of parental commu-nication efficacy on the rehabilitation outcomes of children with ASD. Results Data from 519 parents at 37 rehabilitation institutions across 13 cities/counties in Gansu province were collect-ed.Significant positive correlations were found between parental efficacy in doctor-patient communication,doc-tor-patient relationships,parental compliance with treatment and rehabilitation outcomes for children with ASD(P＜0.05).Through structural equation model analysis,the standardized direct effect of children with ASD from parents'doctor-patient communication efficacy was 0.151(P=0.023).The mediating effect of doctor-patient rela-tionship and parental compliance with treatment were 0.160(P=0.001)and 0.111(P=0.001),respectively,with a chained mediating effect of 0.035(P=0.001).The pathway"parental efficacy in doctor-patient communica-tion → doctor-patient relationship → ASD child's rehabilitation outcome"accounted for the highest proportion of the total mediating effect,at 52.29%. Conclusion Parental doctor-patient communication efficacy may positively impact on the rehabilitation outcomes of chil-dren with ASD directly,and indirectly through the doctor-patient relationship and parental compliance with treat-ment.Rehabilitation institutions should focus on fostering parental communication skills and enhancing high-quality and humanized rehabilitation services.

Aim To explore the effect of ginsenoside Rg3 on the biological behavior of human gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells by regulating E2F1.Methods MTT assay was used to determine the effect of ginsenoside Rg3(0,80,160,320 μmol·L-1)on cell prolifera-tion.The effects of different concentrations of ginsen-oside Rg3 on apoptosis were measured by flow cytome-try.The effects of different concentrations of ginsen-oside Rg3 on cell migration and invasion were deter-mined by scratch healing experiment and Transwell ex-periment.The effects of different concentrations of gin-senoside Rg3 on the expression of E2F1,MMP-2,MMP-9,BCL-2 and Bax were determined by Western blot.Results Compared with the blank control group,the cell survival rate of 80,160 and 320 μmol ·L-1 ginsenoside Rg3 group was significantly lower,and it was concentration-dependent(P＜0.05).Com-pared with the blank control group,the apoptosis rate of 80,160 and 320 μmol·L-1 ginsenoside Rg3 group significantly increased in a concentration-dependent manner(P＜0.05).Compared with the blank control group,the number of cell migration in 80,160 and 320 μmol·L-1 ginsenoside Rg3 groups was significantly lower in a concentration-dependent manner(P＜0.05).Compared with the blank control group,the number of cell invasion in 80,160 and 320 μmol· L-1 ginsenoside Rg3 groups was significantly lower in a concentration-dependent manner(P＜0.05).The E2F1 mRNA and E2F1 protein expression in the 80,160,and 320 μmol·L-1 ginsenoside Rg3 groups were significantly reduced in a concentration-dependent manner compared with that in the blank control group(P＜0.05).The protein expression of MMP-2,MMP-9,and BCL-2 in the cells of 80,160,and 320 μmol ·L-1 ginsenoside Rg3 group significantly decreased compared with those of the blank control group,and BCL-2 significantly increased compared with that of the blank control group in a concentration-dependent man-ner(P＜0.05).Conclusions Ginsenoside Rg3 can reduce the proliferation,inhibit the migration and inva-sion of gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells,and promote the apoptosis of SGC-7901 cells in a concentration-depend-ent manner,and its mechanism may be related to the down-regulation of MMP-2,MMP-9,and BCL-2 ex-pression and up-regulation of Bax expression through E2F1.

【Objective】 To evaluate the dietary quality with the dietary balance index (DBI_16) and the association between dietary quality and bone mass among middle-aged and elderly people in Gansu Province so as to provide evidence for improving dietary quality and bone health status of Gansu population. 【Methods】 Based on the information of the type and quantity of food intake and the bone mass of middle-aged and elderly people aged 35 years and above collected by the Gansu Project in the Regional Ethnic Cohort Study in Northwest China, DBI_16 was used to evaluate the intake level of cereals, vegetables, fruits, milk, beans, fish and shrimp, eggs and other foods, and the degree of inadequate, excessive and unbalanced dietary intake of the participants. Multiple linear regression was used to evaluate the associations of three component indexes of DBI_16, high bound score (DBI_HBS), low bound score (DBI_LBS), diet quality distance (DBI_DQD), and seven single indexes of DBI_16 with bone mass. 【Results】 Analyses of the dietary and bone mass data of 11,840 participants showed that 44.8% of participants consumed excessive amounts of cereals compared to the dietary recommendation. 96.3%, 90.6%, 90.1%, 71.9%, 95.1% and 60.3% of participants’ intake of vegetables, fruits, milk, soybeans, fish and shrimp, and eggs, respectively, were inadequate. 47.7% participants consumed less than 10 types of food. 2.3% participants’ DBI_LBS levels were appropriate. 54.7% participants’ DBI_HBS levels were appropriate. Only 1.2% participants’ DBI_DQD reached a balanced level. The bone mass level in the study population was (2.5±0.6) kg [(2.8±0.5) kg for men and (2.3±0.5) kg for women]. After adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle, total dietary energy intake and body mass index, DBI_LBS and DBI_DQD were negatively associated with bone mass [β and 95% CI was -0.002 01 (-0.003 62--0.000 40) and -0.001 76 (-0.003 09--0.000 43), respectively]. 【Conclusion】 Dietary intake imbalance is common among middle-aged and elderly people in Gansu Province, and the more severe the dietary intake imbalance, the lower the bone mass level.

Cataract is one of the major causes of vision loss and even blindness in patients, and surgery is the only effective method to treat it. The pathogenesis and precaution of cataract remain hot issues in ophthalmological research. With the maturation of biotechnology in recent years, modeling methods and species of experimental animals have become more diverse, which are still the mainstay of cataract mechanism research. However, the ideal animal model of cataract has yet to be constructed due to the complexity of human cataract etiology. Herein, the modeling principles, in vivo or in vitro modeling methods, characteristics, and existing problems of animal models of cataract are summarized according to etiology, providing the theoretical foundation for the construction of a comprehensive animal model that more closely resembles the human cataract.

Objective:To analyze the application effect of information health education combined with teach-back method in patients with posterior fossa tumor during perioperative period and provide experience and reference for clinical practice.Methods:From March 2022 to October 2022, a total of 80 patients diagnosed as posterior fossa tumors in the neurosurgery department were divided into a control group and an experimental group, with 40 patients in each group to conduct an experimental research, based on the length of hospitalization. The control group was given the conventional health education combined with the teach-back method, and the experimental group was given the information health education combined with the teach-back method. The scores of standard swallowing assessment, quality of life, awareness score of health education and incidence of respiratory aspiration were compared between the two groups.Results:On the 7th day after surgery and 1 day before discharge, the standard swallowing score of the experimental group were 25.29 ± 2.21 and 22.97 ± 3.36, which was significantly lower than that of the control group 26.45 ± 2.01 and 24.92 ± 3.56, ( t=2.44, 2.52, both P<0.05). The total score of quality of life on the day before discharge was 64.55 ± 4.27, significantly higher than 61.80 ± 4.82 in the control group, with a statistically significant difference ( t=-2.09, P<0.05). The patients in the experimental group were familiar with preoperative guidance, various dietary requirements, various drug effects and precautions, the prevention of various complications, various rehabilitation training methods, and the purpose and precautions of the head drainage tube, with the score of 4.70 ± 0.56, 4.52 ± 0.71, 4.65 ± 0.57, 4.67 ± 0.52, 4.72 ± 0.50, 4.77 ± 0.47, were higher than the control group 3.40 ± 1.05, 3.62 ± 0.97, 3.77 ± 0.94, 3.80 ± 0.88, 3.75 ± 0.89, 3.92 ± 0.88. The difference was statistically significant ( t values were -6.86 to -4.69, all P<0.05). The incidence of respiratory aspiration in experimental group was 0, significantly lower than that in control group 12.5%(5/40) ( χ2=5.33, P<0.05). Conclusions:The application of information health education combined with back teaching can improve the quality of life, health education awareness rate and reduce the incidence of aspiration in patients with posterior fossa tumor.

During interventional procedures,subjects are exposed to direct and scattered X-rays.Establishing diagnostic reference levels is an ideal way to optimize the radiation dose and reduce radiation hazard.In recent years,diagnostic reference levels in interventional radiology have been established in different countries.However,because of the too many indicators for characterizing the radiation dose,the indicators used to establish diagnostic reference levels vary in different countries.The research achievements in this field remain to be reviewed.We carried out a retrospective analysis of the definition,establishment method,application,and main factors influencing the dose difference of the diagnostic reference level,aiming to provide a basis for establishing the diagnostic reference level for interventional procedures in China.

Objective: To explore the association between cardiometabolic diseases (CMD) and quality of life, the association between CMD and perceived stress, and the mediation effect of perceived stress on the association between CMD and quality of life, and to provide evidence for the prevention and treatment of CMD and the improvement of quality of life in these patients. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. Data were collected by the employees' physical examination of a company in Xi'an in 2021. Multiple linear regression models were used to analyze the association between the status of CMD (divided into three categories: no CMD, presence of one kind of CMD, and with≥2 kinds of CMD (≥2 kinds of CMD were defined as cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM)), quality of life, and perceived stress. Mediation analysis with a multi-categorical independent variable was conducted to determine the mediation effect of perceived stress on the association between CMD and quality of life. Results: Among all 4 272 participants, 1 457 (34.1%) participants had one kind of CMD and 677 (15.8%) participants had CMM. The average scores for quality of life and perceived stress were (57.5±15.7) and (16.9±7.9), respectively. Compared with participants without CMD, after adjusting for demographic and lifestyle factors, no statistically significant associations were observed between one kind of CMD and perceived stress or quality of life (both P>0.05). Perceived stress did not mediate the association between one kind of CMD and quality of life. However, participants with CMM had lower quality of life and higher perceived stress than participants without CMD. The relative total effect coefficient c (95%CI) and the relative direct effect coefficient c' (95%CI) between CMM and quality of life were -3.71 (-5.04--2.37) and -2.52 (-3.81--1.24) (both P<0.05), respectively. The relative indirect effect coefficient a₂b (95%CI) of perceived stress on the association between CMM and quality of life was -1.18 (-1.62--0.77) (P<0.05). The mediation effect size was 31.8%. Conclusions: CMM is negatively associated with quality of life and positively associated with perceived stress. Perceived stress partially mediates the association between CMM and quality of life. Our results suggest that, in addition to preventing and treating CMM actively, efforts should be taken to relieve the perceived stress of people with CMM to improve their quality of life.
