The incidence of in-hospital death in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is high, which seriously threatens the life and health of patients. At present, many countries and regions have established a variety of objective assessment models for predicting the in-hospital mortality of patients with AMI, providing important decision-making support for patients with different risk levels when formulating treatment plans. With the rise of artificial intelligence, many new modeling methods also show certain advantages over the traditional models. This article systematically introduces the commonly used and newly constructed risk prediction models for in-hospital mortality of AMI, in order to provide help for medical staff to assist decision-making in clinical practice, and provide reference for the establishment of a safe and more effective risk prediction model in the future.

Objective:To illustrate the effect and mechanism of ibrutinib,a Bruton's tyrosine kinase(BTK)inhibitor that inhibits diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL)cell survival.Methods:DLBCL cell lines SUDHL-10 and HBL-1 were treated with ibrutinib at different concentrations.A MTT assay was used to detect the inhibition of cell proliferation.Cell apoptosis was analyzed by Annexin V-binding assay,as well as flow cytometry and DAPI staining.The expression of phosphorylated BTK,AKT and ERK was detected by Western blot. DLBCL cells were co-cultured with MSC.The inhibitory effect of ibrutinib on DLBCL cells in tumor microenvironment was assessed in clonogenicity in vitro and in a tumor-bearing non-obese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficient mice in vivo.Results:Up to 2.5 μmol/L and high concentrations of ibrutinib significantly inhibited the proliferation of DLBCL cells in a dose-dependent manner.Approx-imately 1 and 2.5 μmol/L ibrutinib was added on SUDHL-10 cells for 24 h,and the cell apoptotic rates were(21.73±3.64)% and(34.71± 2.36)%,respectively.Both were superior to that of the control group(3.55±1.89)%(P<0.05).Both two DLBCL cell lines pretreated with 5 and 10 μmol/L ibrutinib for 24 h and exhibited nuclear shrinkage at 5 μmol/L and nuclear fragmentation at 10 μmol/L.The expres-sion of phosphorylated BTK,AKT,and ERK decreased significantly after ibrutinib treatment.Ibrutinib inhibited clonogenicity in vitro(P<0.01)and cell proliferation and growth in vivo of DLBCL cells in co-culture system.The differences were statistically significant.Conclu-sion:Ibrutinib can inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis of SUDHL-10 and HBL-1 cell lines through a mechanism of blocking the AKT and ERK signaling pathways,as well as the proliferation of DLBCL cells in tumor microenvironment.This finding can significant-ly benefit DLBCL treatment.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the feasibility and early effectiveness of computer-simulated osteotomy based on the health-side combined with guide plate technique in the treatment of cubitus varus deformity in adolescents.
METHODS:
The clinical data of 23 patients with cubitus varus deformity who met the selection criteria between June 2019 and February 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 17 males and 6 females, ranging in age from 4 to 16 years with an average of 8.5 years. The time from injury to operation was 1-4 years. The angle of distal humerus rotation was defined by humeral head posterior inclination angle using low radiation dose CT to scan the patient's upper extremity data at one time, and the preoperative rotation of the distal humerus on the affected side was (33.82±4.39)°. The CT plain scan data were imported into 9yuan3D digital orthopaedic system (V3.34 software) to reconstruct three-dimensional images of both upper extremities. The simulated operation was performed with the healthy upper extremity as the reference, the best osteotomy scheme was planned, overlapped and compared, and the osteotomy guide plate was prepared. The patients were followed up regularly after operation, and the formation of callus in the osteotomy area was observed by X-ray examination. Before and after operation, the carrying angle of both upper extremities (the angle of cubitus valgus was positive, and the angle of cubitus varus was negative) and anteversion angle were measured on X-ray and CT images. At the same time, the flexion and extension range of motion of elbow joint and the external rotation range of motion of upper extremity were measured, and Mayo score was used to evaluate the function of elbow joint.
RESULTS:
The operation time ranged from 34 to 46 minutes, with an average of 39 minutes. All patients were followed up 5-26 months, with a mean of 14.9 months. All the incisions healed by first intention after the operation; 2 patients had nail path irritation symptoms after Kirschner wire fixation, which improved after dressing change; no complication such as breakage and loosening of internal fixators occurred after regular X-ray review. Continuous callus formed at the osteotomy end at 4 weeks after operation, and the osteotomy end healed at 8-12 weeks after operation. At last follow-up, the carrying angle, anteversion angle, external rotation range of motion, and extension and flexion range of motion of the elbow joint of the affected side significantly improved when compared with preoperative ones ( P<0.05). Except for the extension range of motion of the healthy elbow joint ( P<0.05), there was no significant difference in other indicators between the two sides ( P>0.05). At last follow-up, the Mayo elbow score was 85-100, with an average of 99.3; 22 cases were excellent, 1 case was good, and the excellent and good rate was 100%.
CONCLUSION
Computer-simulated osteotomy based on health-side combined with guide plate technique for treating cubitus varus deformity in adolescents can achieve precise osteotomy, which has the advantages of short operation time and easy operation, and the short-term effectiveness is satisfactory.
