Analysis of Public Interests and Economic Interests in the Construction of Urban Medical Groups / 中国医院管理

The construction of urban medical groups is an important supply-side reform and exploration of Chinese urban health service system.It analyzes and discusses the interest generation mechanism,the dialectical relationship between public interests and economic interests and the balancing strategy of urban medical group construction,and proposes that the construction of urban medical groups mainly generates new value through comprehensive medical care,large-scale development,homogeneous services,digital construction and technology innovation,which can bring about optimizing the allocation of medical treatment resources,improving the homogeneity level and innovation ability of regional medical services,and strengthening regional primary medical services and other public interests.It can also bring about improvements in service efficiency,capacity and volume,which in turn generate economic benefits.The pursuit of public and economic interests in the construction of urban medical groups has potential value conflicts in terms of service positioning,cost and accessibility,effectiveness and rationality,and at the same time,there is a synergy mechanism in fulfilling social responsibilities,optimizing the utilization of medical resources,and promoting medical innovation and high-quality development.In the pilot construction of urban medical groups,public interests and economic interests should be viewed dialectically,the role of local governments in policy guidance,supervision and incentives should be explored,a focus on resource optimization,innovation-driven or high-quality development to promote the synergy of public interests and economic interests should be emphasized,and public participation should be strengthened and a performance evaluation mechanism should be established.

Research advances on the applications of functional magnetic resonance imaging for evaluating kidney transplant function / 中华器官移植杂志

After kidney transplantation , timely detection of changes in transplanted kidney function may guide clinical managements and prevent or delay irreversible damage to transplanted kidney. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of transplanted kidney is a promising non-invasive technique of acquiring microstructural and microfunctional profiles of transplanted kidney. In recent years, various diffusion imaging modalities, arterial spin labeling (ASL) and blood oxygen level dependent-magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-MRI) have gradually been applied for transplant kidneys. Transplant kidney function may be evaluated non-invasively from such microscopic perspectives as water molecule diffusion, blood flow perfusion and blood oxygen level. This review focused upon evaluating the renal function and identifying the causes of the renal function decline of transplanted kidney through various fMRI techniques and provide new rationales for clinical diagnosis.

Interleukin-6 mediates the association of low density lipoprotein-cholesterol with thyroid associated ophthalmopathy / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

Objective:To investigate the mediating effect of inflammatory factors in the association between low density lipoprotein-cholesterol(LDL-C) and thyroid associated ophthalmopathy(TAO).Methods:This study was a prospective study, which icluded a total of 86 patients with Graves′ disease who attended the Department of Endocrinology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2021 to June 2022. Among them, there were 56 patients with Graves′ disease accompanied by TAO, including 30 cases in the inactive group and 26 in the active group. Additionally, there were 30 cases having Graves′ disease alone. The relationship between LDL-C, inflammatory factors, and the onset and activity of TAO were analyzed using binary logistic regression. Mediation analysis was used to explore the mediating effect of inflammatory factors in the association between LDL-C and TAO onset and activity.Results:Interleukin(IL) -6 was a potential mediator that linking the association between LDL-C and TAO onset: LDL-C had a direct effect on TAO(Total effect value=0.274, 95% CI 0.161-0.386), while IL-6(mediated effect=0.067, 95% CI 0.011-0.123) and IL-17(mediated effect=0.042, 95% CI 0.007-0.077) partially mediated the effect of LDL-C on TAO, accounting for 24.45% and 15.33% of the total effect, respectively. IL-6 was a potential mediator of the association between LDL-C and TAO activity: LDL-C had a direct effect on TAO activity(Total effect value=0.320, 95% CI 0.204-0.435), and IL-6(mediated effect=0.103, 95% CI 0.021-0.185) partially mediated the effect of LDL-C on TAO activity, with a mediation effect of 32.19%. Conclusion:IL-6 plays a partiall mediating role in the association of LDL-C with TAO onset and activity.

In-silico annotation of the chemical composition of Tibetan tea and its mechanism on antioxidant and lipidlowering in mice

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES@#Tibetan tea is a kind of dark tea, due to the inherent complexity of natural products, the chemical composition and beneficial effects of Tibetan tea are not fully understood. The objective of this study was to unravel the composition of Tibetan tea using knowledge-guided multilayer network (KGMN) techniques and explore its potential antioxidant and hypolipidemic mechanisms in mice.MATERIALS/METHODS: The C57BL/6J mice were continuously gavaged with Tibetan tea extract (T group), green tea extract (G group) and ddH 2 O (H group) for 15 days. The activity of total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in mice was detected.Transcriptome sequencing technology was used to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the antioxidant and lipid-lowering effects of Tibetan tea in mice. Furthermore, the expression levels of liver antioxidant and lipid metabolism related genes in various groups were detected by the real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) method. @*RESULTS@#The results showed that a total of 42 flavonoids are provisionally annotated in Tibetan tea using KGMN strategies. Tibetan tea significantly reduced body weight gain and increased T-AOC and SOD activities in mice compared with the H group. Based on the results of transcriptome and qPCR, it was confirmed that Tibetan tea could play a key role in antioxidant and lipid lowering by regulating oxidative stress and lipid metabolism related pathways such as insulin resistance, P53 signaling pathway, insulin signaling pathway, fatty acid elongation and fatty acid metabolism. @*CONCLUSIONS@#This study was the first to use computational tools to deeply explore the composition of Tibetan tea and revealed its potential antioxidant and hypolipidemic mechanisms, and it provides new insights into the composition and bioactivity of Tibetan tea.

Neuroprotective effects of voluntary exercise and Yisaipu after traumatic brain injury in mice / 生理学报

The mechanisms underlying exercise-induced neuroprotective effects after traumatic brain injury (TBI) remained elusive, and there is a lack of effective treatments for TBI. In this study, we investigated the effects of an integrative approach of exercise and Yisaipu (TNFR-IgG fusion protein, TNF inhibitor) in a mouse TBI model. Male C57BL/6J mice were randomly assigned to a sedentary group or a group that followed a voluntary exercise regimen. The effects of 6-week prophylactic preconditioning exercise (PE) alone or in combination with post-TBI Yisaipu treatment on moderate TBI associated deficits were examined. The results showed that combined treatments of PE and post-TBI Yisaipu were superior to single treatments on reducing sensorimotor and gait dysfunctions in mice. These functional improvements were accompanied by reduced systemic inflammation largely via decreased serum TNF-α, boosted autophagic flux, and mitigated lesion volume after TBI. Given these neuroprotective effects, composite approaches such as a combination of exercise and TNF inhibitor may be a promising strategy for facilitating functional recovery from TBI and are worth further investigation.
