ObjectiveTo identify the independent risk factors for pyloric lymph node (PLN) metastasis in patients with upper gastric cancer (UGC) and to construct a nomogram prediction model applicable for UGC patients. MethodsClinical data of 823 UGC patients attended between January 2020 and November 2023 were retrospectively collected. Patients were randomly divided into a training set (n=576) and a validation set (n=247) at a 7∶3 ratio. Based on the training set, multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent risk factors for PLN metastasis, and a nomogram prediction model was constructed accordingly. The model's discriminative ability and calibration were assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and calibration curves. Finally, external validation was conducted using the validation set to evaluate the model's stability and generalizability. ResultsMultivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that tumor size (OR=1.324, 95%CI: 1.053-1.667), T3 stage (OR=5.738, 95%CI: 1.281-25.695), T4 stage (OR=7.680, 95%CI: 1.542-38.247), lymphovascular invasion (LVI) (OR=6.623, 95%CI: 1.384-31.708), differentiation extent (OR=3.108, 95%CI: 1.545-6.251), and fibrinogen degradation product (FDP) level (OR=4.849, 95%CI: 2.071-11.355) were independent risk factors for PLN metastasis in UGC patients.The nomogram model constructed based on these factors demonstrated areas under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.815 (95%CI: 0.751-0.815) in the training set and 0.832 (95%CI: 0.731-0.933) in the validation set. Calibration curves indicated good agreement between predicted and observed outcomes. ConclusionThis nomogram prediction model exhibits good predictive performance for assessing the risk of PLN metastasis in UGC patients.

Objective:To explore the influence of outpatient co-ordination on the purchase of commercial medical insurance in China,enrich the research perspective of outpatient co-ordination.Methods:Based on the data of China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study from 2011 to 2020,past outpatient co-ordination policies in pilot cities and the Digital Inclusive Finance insurance index,using staggered DID to empirically test the impact of outpatient co-ordination on employees'commercial medical insurance purchase.Results:Outpatient co-payment increases workers'willingness to purchase commercial health insurance,which increases by about 4%;heterogeneity analysis finds outpatient co-payment primarily affects individuals'commercial insurance purchasing behavior and that the extent of the effect is related to workers'age,health status,and the outpatient co-payment coverage model of the affiliation.Conclusion:Improving the outpatient co-payment guarantee mechanism at the national level and promoting the effective connection between basic medical insurance and commercial medical insurance.

OBJECTIVE To optimize the extraction technology of modified Tabusen- 2(MT-2),and to investigate inhibitory effects of the extract obtained by the optimal technology on osteoclast differentiation. METHODS The index components of MT- 2 process optimization were selected by using network pharmacology. Based on single factor tests ,the extraction technology of MT- 2 was optimized by Box-Behnken design-response surface methodology according to the comprehensive score of contents of above index components ,and then validated. RAW 264.7 cells were induced by receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand(100 ng/mL) to prepare osteoclast differentiation model. Inhibitory effects of MT- 2 extract(18.6,37.2,74.4 ng/mL)obtained by the optimal technology on osteoclast differentiation were investigated. RESULTS The index components screened by network pharmacology included chlorogenic acid ,terpineol diglucoside ,isochlorogenic acid A ,1,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid ,hydroxysafflower yellow A , ginsenoside Rg 1 and ginsenoside Rb 1. The optimal extraction technology of MT- 2 was ethanol volume fraction of 60% ,the solid-liquid ratio of 1 ∶ 14(g/mL),extraction time of 94 min and extraction times of twice. The average comprehensive score obtained by the three validation experiments was 95.50,and the relative error with the predicted value (95.75)was -0.26%. Compared with osteoclastic differentiation model cells ,the cells treated with MT- 2 extract prepared by the optimal technology were mostly mononuclear round cells ,and the number of osteoclasts decreased significantly (P<0.05),its inhibitory effects tended to strengthen with the increase of drug concentration. CONCLUSIONS The optimal extraction technology of MT- 2 is stable and feasible. Obtained extract can inhibit osteoclast differentiation.
