Objective:To compare the impact of manual right arm blood pressure measurement with computer-controlled blood pressure meter (CCBPM) on the detection rate of hypertension among elderly individuals.Method:This was a cross-sectional study. Elderly residents undergoing routine health check-up in a village in Jiangxi Province from April to June 2024 were enrolled. Manual blood pressure measurements were performed on the right arm using an electronic sphygmomanometer, while standardized dual-arm synchronized blood pressure assessments were conducted using the CCBPM. Blood pressure data were recorded from three sources: manual measurement on the right arm; the first CCBPM measurement on the arm with higher systolic blood pressure (CCBPM single); and the mean blood pressure of the arm with higher systolic blood pressure from two (if the difference between the first two measurements was less than 5 mmHg, 1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) or three (if the difference exceeded 5 mmHg) CCBPM measurements (CCBPM mean). Hypertension detection rates from these three datasets were compared. Subgroup analysis was performed according to age (60-74 years old as the elderly group,≥75 years old as the senior group) and gender. Intra-group correlation coefficient ( ICC) was analyzed to evaluate the consistency of blood pressure data of different blood pressure measurement methods, and Kappa value was analyzed to evaluate the consistency of hypertension classification determined by different blood pressure measurement methods. Results:A total of 1 498 participants were enrolled, aged (71.30±6.83) years old, including 678 males (45.26%). The blood pressure and heart rate measured by the artificial right arm blood pressure measurement were higher than those measured by CCBPM single (blood pressure: (140.09±17.19)/(82.40±10.93) mmHg vs. (135.31±18.98)/(81.23±10.51) mmHg; heart rate: (75.76±11.72) beats/min vs.(72.94±11.21) beats/min) and CCBPM mean (blood pressure: (140.09±17.19)/(82.40±10.93) mmHg vs. (134.64±18.39)/(80.28±9.78) mmHg; heart rate: (75.76±11.72) beats/min vs. (72.87±10.70) beats/min, all P<0.05). The detection rate of hypertension determined by CCBPM mean was significantly lower than that of artificial right arm (40.25% (603/1 498) vs.54.34% (814/1 498)) and CCBPM single (40.25% (603/1 498) vs. 44.79% (671/1 498), all P<0.05). Subgroup analysis showed that that the detection rate of hypertension determined by CCBPM mean was lower than that measured by artificial right arm regardless of gender and age (all P<0.05). The consistency of blood pressure data between artificial right arm and the CCBPM mean was moderate (systolic blood pressure: ICC=0.70; diastolic blood pressure: ICC=0.62), with less consistent classification ( Kappa=0.37). The consistency of blood pressure data between CCBPM single and CCBPM mean is extremely high (systolic blood pressure: ICC=0.94; diastolic blood pressure: ICC=0.91), with highly consistent classification ( Kappa=0.74). Conclusions:Artificial right arm blood pressure measurement in physical examinations may overestimate the hypertension detection rate, and the standardized dual-arm synchronized blood pressure measurement using CCBPM can reduce irregular blood pressure measurement.

BACKGROUND: Lung cancer is the leading malignancy in China in terms of both incidence and mortality. With increased health awareness and the widespread use of low-dose computed tomography (CT), early diagnosis rates have been steadily improving. Surgical intervention remains the primary treatment option for early-stage lung cancer, and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has become a common approach due to its minimal invasiveness and rapid recovery. However, post-discharge recovery remains incomplete, underscoring the importance of postoperative care. Traditional follow-up methods, lack standardization, consume significant medical resources, and increase the burden of the patients. Artificial intelligence (AI)-driven disease management platforms offer a novel solution to optimize postoperative follow-up. This study followed 463 lung cancer surgery patients using an AI-based platform, aiming to identify common postoperative issues, propose solutions, improve quality of life, reduce recurrence-related costs, and promote AI integration in healthcare. METHODS: Using the AI disease management platform, this study integrated educational videos, collaboration between healthcare teams and AI assistants, daily health logs, health assessment forms, and personalized interventions to monitor postoperative recovery. The postoperative rehabilitation status of the patients was assessed by the Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ-MC). Two independent t-test and one-way ANOVA were used to analyze the causes of postoperative cough in lung cancer. RESULTS: Most issues occurred within 7 d post-discharge, significantly declined on 14 d post-discharge. Factors such as gender, smoking history, and surgical approaches were found to influence cough recovery. The incidence of cough on 7 d post-discharge in females was higher than that in males (P<0.01), while the incidence of cough on 14 d post-discharge in elderly patients was lower than that in young patients (P=0.03). The AI-based platform effectively addressed cough, pain, and sleep disturbances through phased interventions. CONCLUSIONS The AI-based platform significantly enhanced postoperative management efficiency and the self-care capabilities of the patients, particularly in phased cough management. Future integration with wearable devices could enable more precise and personalized postoperative care, further advancing the application of AI technology across multidisciplinary healthcare domains.

The observation period was ≥6 months, and the retrieval time was from 1998 to March 2023. The studies were independently screened by 2 evaluators according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data extraction and literature quality evaluation were carried out, and meta analysis was performed by Stata 14.0 software. 【Results】 A total of 91 literature involving 585 769 apheresis platelet donors were included, and 9 102 of them had adverse reactions. Random effect model meta-analysis showed that the total incidence of adverse reactions of platelet donation was 2.65% [95% CI(2.04, 3.45), P<0.000 1]. Subgroup analysis showed that the incidence of platelet donation adverse reactions in the eastern, central and western regions were 2.63% [95% CI(1.94, 3.58)], 2.32% [95% CI(1.29, 4.16)] and 4.10% [95% CI(1.90, 8.83)], respectively, with regional differences (P<0. 000 1). The incidence of adverse reactions of different degrees was 3.62% [95% CI (2.69, 4.86)] for non-severe and 0.28% [95% CI(0.18, 0.45)] for severe. The incidence of adverse reactions of blood donation was also different among different apheresis instruments (P<0. 000 1): Amicus 2.73% [95% CI(1.23, 6.06)], CS3000 series 3.59% [95% CI(2.64, 4.89)], MCS+ series 3.42% [95% CI(2.23, 5.25)], Trima 4.86% [95% CI(3.08, 7.66)], other groups 1.71% [95%CI (0.15, 20.02)]. In addition, the incidence of adverse reactions was 4.80% [95% CI(3.05, 7.55)] in females and 1.39% [95% CI(0.90, 2.15)] in males, with the incidence in females higher than that in males (P<0.000 1). The adverse reactions of platelet donors under 30 years old and over 30 years old were 2.31% [95% CI(1.34, 3.98)] and 1.95% [95% CI(1.19, 3.20)], respectively, and there was no statistically significant difference (P>0.01). The incidence of adverse reactions of blood donation for first-time donors and repeat donors was 2.16% [(95%CI (1.18, 3.95)] and 1.12% [(95% CI(0.35, 3.58)], with the former higher than the latter(P<0.000 1). The incidence of adverse reactions for single and double platelet collection was 1.67% [95% CI(0.57, 4.89)] and 3.13% [95% CI(1.11, 8.86)] respectively, with no significant difference(P>0.01). 【Conclusion】 It′s suggested to unify the monitoring standards of adverse reactions of apheresis platelet donation, understand and master the factors that affect the adverse reactions of apheresis platelet donors, so as to improve the quality of apheresis platelet donation service and ensure the safety of donations.

Cancer therapy-related cardiovascular toxicity(CTR-CVT)is gradually becoming a critical factor affecting the prognosis of cancer survivors.Vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)and its receptor inhibitors(VEGFIs),developed as novel anti-cancer drugs targeting VEGF,are now widely used in clinical practice.They can extend the survival period of the cancer patients and improve the prognosis of the patients.However,the hypertension induced by VEGFIs,as the most common CTR-CVT,may limit and impact their use and leads to severe cardiovascular diseases(CVD).It is essential to closely monitor blood pressure in the cancer patients treated with VEGFIs,conduct early assessments,and optimize the management to achieve the best anti-cancer efficacy and minimize the risk of CTR-CVT.This review discusses the clinical manifestations,pathogenesis,diagnosis,and treatment strategies of VEGFIs-related hypertension,in order to provide better guidances for managing and addressing VEGFIs-related hypertension for the clinicians.

Lipoprotein(a)[Lp(a)]is a highly polymorphic lipoprotein molecule composed of apolipoprotein A(apo A),apo B100,and cholesterol ester core;calcific aortic valve stenosis(CAVS)is a multifactorial valvular heart disease influenced by both environmental and genetic factors.Lp(a)is an independent risk factor for CAVS and can increase the onset risk of CAVS.Lp(a)plays an important role in the treatment of CAVS.Although surgery is currently the main clinical treatment for CAVS,with further exploration into its pathological mechanism,drug therapy targeting Lp(a)has emerged as a new method.This paper reviews studies about the structure and characteristics of Lp(a),its role in the occurrence and development of CAVS,treatment options related to hyperlipoprotein Aemia,and the studies preventing and treating CAVS by combating inflammation,and enhances the clinicians'understanding and awareness of hyperlipoprotein Aemia and provides new insights for the prevention and targeted drug therapy of CAVS.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an acute or chronic autoimmune disease characterized by the presence of pathogenic autoantibodies and immune complexes, and multiorgan damage. It is a highly heterogeneous disease and commonly developed in women of childbearing age. The cause of systemic immunopathological injury in SLE is due to the production of autoantibodies by overactivated autoreactive B cells. The treatment of SLE by targeting B cells is very effective, suggesting the critical role of B cells in the development and progression of SLE. However, the current B cell depletion therapies all target the total B cell population, which are not capable of clearing specifically autoreactive B cells since the specific marker molecules and the mechanisms associated with the development of SLE remain unclear. With the development of science and technology, high-throughput sequencing technology provides new ideas for the study of B cell abnormalities in SLE. This review focuses on the progress in high-throughput sequencing to reveal new abnormalities in B cell receptors, new B cell subsets and B cell-related novel therapeutic targets, hoping to provide reference for better understanding the pathogenesis and exploring therapeutic strategies.
