Objective To analyze the causes of infection and hemorrhage in patients with malignant obstructive jaundice(MOJ)after ultrasound-guided percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage(PTBD).Methods A total of 420 patients with MOJ after PTBD in The Third Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University from Jun.2023 to Sep.2024 were enrolled,and their condition after PTBD,medical histories,preoperative examinations,and other clinical data were retrospectively analyzed.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to explore the risk factors for postoperative infection and hemorrhage,and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were plotted.Results Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that ascites,diuretics use,repeated punctures,hepatitis B virus(HBV)DNA and preoperative hemoglobin(Hb)levels,and neutrophil count(NE)were associated with infection after PTBD(all P＜0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that ascites,diuretic use,repeated punctures,HBV DNA and preoperative Hb levels,and NE were the independent risk factors for infection after PTBD(all P＜0.05).Six factors including ascites,diuretics use,repeated punctures,HBV DNA and preoperative Hb levels,and NE were used to establish a prediction model.The area under the ROC curve of the model for predicting infection after PTBD was 83.1％(95％confidence interval[CI]75.5％-90.7％,P＜0.001).Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that liver tissue inflammation,ascites,preoperative peritoneal drainage,diuretics use,preoperative Hb and prealbumin(PA)levels were related to bleeding after PTBD(all P＜0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative Hb and PA levels were independent risk factors for bleeding after PTBD.Preoperative Hb and PA levels were included to establish the prediction model.The area under the curve value for predicting bleeding after PTBD was 86.3％(95％CI 80.8％-91.9％,P＜0.001).Conclusion The prediction model for infection and hemorrhage after PTBD can facilitate early preventivon and intervention measures,thereby improving surgical safety.

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the research progress of suture augmentation (SA) in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. METHODS: A comprehensive review of recent literature about SA in ACL reconstruction at home and abroad was conducted. The efficacy of SA in ACL reconstruction was evaluated by examining the definition, biomechanics, and histological studies of SA, along with its clinical application status in ACL reconstruction. RESULTS: SA demonstrates significant advantages in enhancing the biomechanical stability of ACL grafts, reducing the risk of re-rupture, and accelerating postoperative recovery. Specifically, SA improves graft stiffness, ultimate failure strength, and cyclic stability, thereby diminishing the risk of early postoperative failure and joint instability. Histologically, it fosters remodeling and tendon-bone integration through early load-sharing mechanisms; however, stress shielding may interfere with natural remodeling processes, warranting further attention. Clinically, SA reduces graft failure rates and the need for revision surgeries, markedly improving knee joint stability and functional recovery in young patients. Nevertheless, its impact on graft maturation and potential complications remains controversial. CONCLUSION Despite the many advantages of SA in ACL reconstruction, future endeavors should focus on optimizing tensioning techniques, developing bioactive materials, and conducting large-scale randomized controlled trials to further elucidate its clinical value and scope of applicability, providing a more reliable solution for ACL reconstruction.

It elaborates on the key concepts and the latest policies that the public needs to understand, and also provides the behavioral concepts and protection skills that should be mastered to adapt to climate change. This article provides a systematic interpretation of the Guidelines, introducing the background, ideas, connotations, and applications of their compilation, with the aim of enhancing society′s cognitive understanding of the Guidelines.

Objective To develop a virtual reality rehabilitation support system and evaluate its effects on improving discharge readiness in caregivers of laryngectomy patients.Methods The system is equipped with a virtual reality-based home nursing skills guidance module for post-laryngectomy patients and an evidence-based artificial intelligence Q&A module.A convenience sampling method was adopted to select 64 caregivers of patients who underwent laryngectomy for the first time in the otorhinolaryngology head and neck surgery department of a tertiary A hospital in Beijing from July 2024 to January 2025 for a systematic study on application effects.To avoid cross-contamination between an experimental group and a control group,ward-based grouping was applied.A coin toss was used to assign Ward 1 to an experimental group and Ward 2 to a control group,with 32 cases in each group.The experimental group received discharge guidance based on the virtual reality technology,while the control group was provided with conventional verbal and written discharge instructions.The readiness for hospital discharge and the quality of discharge teaching scores of caregivers were compared between the 2 groups after the intervention.Results No sample detachment.After the intervention,the patient caregivers in the experimental group scored significantly higher than those in the control group in terms of discharge readiness and quality of discharge guidance,with a statistically significant difference(P＜0.001).Conclusion This study developed the virtual reality rehabilitation system for laryngeal cancer patients demonstrated good feasibility and effectiveness.The application of this system for discharge education significantly improved discharge readiness of caregivers and quality of discharge guidance for post-laryngectomy patients.It also helped with the optimization of health education models,enhancement of nursing resource utilization efficiency,and improvement of transitional care.

A 70-year-old male patient was admitted to a hospital on March 1,2024 due to"muscle soreness in his extremities for over a month".Diagnosis consideration:polymyalgia rheumatica(with a high likelihood,the possi-bility of a tumor needs to be excluded).The patient was treated with methylprednisolone.After discharge from the hospital,the patient's symptoms worsened due to self-withdrawal of medication(methylprednisolone treatment for 20 days),and developed fever and cough.He then revisited the hospital and was confirmed to have Legionella mar-ssiliensis infection through metagenomic sequencing of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(nucleic acid of all microorga-nisms were extracted from the specimens and compared in the PMDB database to obtain species information of the suspected pathogenic microorganisms).Subsequently,the patient was treated with a combination of 0.75 g levo-floxacin intravenous infusion qd+0.1 g doxycycline enteric-coated capsules orally bid for anti-infective therapy.The patient's symptoms,such as cough and muscle pain,improved significantly after anti-inflammatory and anti-in-fective treatment,and he was discharged on March 18.As the first reported case of Legionella marssiliensis pulmo-nary infection in China,this case highlights that among the multiple species of Legionella,there is another bacte-rium that can infect the human body and cause disease.This case report is beneficial for improving medical staff's understanding on Legionella marssiliensis and providing reference for the diagnosis and treatment of future cases of Legionella marssiliensis infection.

OBJECTIVE To explore the distribution of pathogens isolated from the cervical cancer(CC)patients with postoperative urinary catheter-associated urinary tract infection(UTI)and analyze the predictive values of se-rum high mobility group protein B1(HMGB1),Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)and nuclear factor kappa B(NF-κB).METHODS Totally 116 patients with CC who underwent radical resection in the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Science and Technology from Jan.2021 to Jan.2024 were enrolled in the study and were divided into the infection group with 31 cases and the non-infection group with 85 cases according to the status of complication with UTI after urinary catheterization.The midstream urine specimens were collected by aseptic method,the pathogens were isolated and identified.The serum HMGB1 level was detected by means of enzyme-linked immu-nosorbent assay,the relative expression levels of peripheral blood TLR4 and NF-κB proteins were detected by Western blot.The efficiencies of serum HMGB1,TLR4 and NF-κB in prediction of postoperative urinary catheter-associated UTI in the CC patients were analyzed by means of receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves.RESULTS Totally 49 strains of pathogens were isolated from 31 CC patients with postoperative urinary catheter-associated UTI,and the patients who had infection of single species were dominant.Gram-negative bacteria were the most common pathogens,accounting for 61.22％.There were significant differences in the age,complication with diabetes mellitus,duration of urinary catheter indwelling,postoperative uroschesis and previous history of UTI between the infection group and the non-infection group(P＜0.05);there were significant differences in the levels of serum HMGB1,TLR4 and NF-κB between the two groups(P＜0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of the joint detection of serum HMGB1,TLR4 and NF-κB was 0.906 in prediction of the postoperative urinary catheter-associated UTI in the CC patients,with the sensitivity 83.87％;the predictive efficiencies of the joint de-tection of the indexes were better than those of the single detection(P＜0.05).CONCLUSIONS The gram-negative bacteria are dominant among the pathogens isolated from the CC patients with postoperative urinary catheter-asso-ciated UTI.The joint detection of the serum HMGB1,TLR4 and NF-κB has the highest value in prediction of postoperative urinary catheter-associated UTI in the CC patients.

Objective:To explore the prominent manifestations and internal associations of the overuse of short-form videos,inattention,and school refusal behavior in junior high school students.Methods:A survey was conducted among 1 106 junior high school students,utilizing the Short-form Video APP Overuse Scale,the Inatten-tion subscale of the Swanson,Nolan,and Pelham Rating Scale(SNAP-Ⅳ),and the School Refusal Behavior Ques-tionnaire to assess the extent of short-form video overuse,inattention,and school refusal behavior.By using the R language for network analysis,the core nodes of individual networks and the bridge nodes connecting the combined networks were analyzed,and the structural differences in networks across genders and grades were compared.Re-sults:The core nodes of the network pertaining to overuse of short-form video,inattention,and school refusal behav-ior were"Using short videos enhances connection with others"(expected influence value=1.03),"easily distract-ed"(expected influence value=1.99),and"school alienation"(expected influence value=0.83).The bridge nodes in the combined network were"defiant behavior"(bridge expected influence value=0.69)and"difficulty sustaining mental activities"(bridge expected influence value=0.47).Analysis of network structure differences i-dentified that the core nodes within the combined networks of the first,second,and third grades of junior high school students were respectively"prioritizing short videos over other activities","defiant behavior",and"academic aptitude".Conclusion:Junior high school students exhibiting overuse of short videos,inattention,or school refusal behavior are characterized by enhanced social connectivity through platforms such as short video apps,a propensity for distraction,and feelings of school alienation,respectively.When these three behaviors coexist,the most salient related factor is oppositional behavior,coupled with difficulties in sustaining cognitive tasks and maintaining con-centration.

AIM:This study aims to investigate the functions of interleukin-6(IL-6)/Janus kinase 2(JAK2)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(STAT3)signaling pathway in adenomyosis(ADM),and to assess the therapeutic potential of JAK2 inhibitor AG490.METHODS:(1)Neonatal female mice were randomly divided into 2 groups:control group and ADM group.An ADM mice model was established by tamoxifen.Additionally,Western blot was employed to detect the expression of IL-6/JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway-related proteins.(2)Human endometrial adenocarcinoma Ishikawa cells were treated with AG490,and Western blot was performed to evaluate the expression of the proteins related to IL-6/JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway,epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT),cell migration and cell proliferation.Besides,wound-healing and Transwell assays were carried out to investigate the cell migration and inva-sion.Colony formation and EdU assays were employed to investigate the cell proliferation,and flow cytometry analysis was performed to investigate the cell apoptosis.(3)The ADM mice were randomly divided into 2 groups:ADM group and AG490 group.The expression of IL-6/JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway-related proteins in uterine tissues was detected by Western blot.Besides,Western blot and immunohistochemistry were employed to detect the expression of the proteins re-lated to cell EMT,migration and proliferation.Cell apoptosis in uterine tissues was detected by TUNEL assay.RE-SULTS:(1)The expression of IL-6/JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway-related proteins exhibited an increasing trend in ADM mice(P<0.05).(2)Treatment with AG490 significantly suppressed the expression of IL-6/JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway-related proteins in Ishikawa cells(P<0.05).The protein level of E-cadherin showed an increasing trend(P<0.01),while the expression levels of N-cadherin,vimentin and Slug showed a decreasing trend(P<0.05)in Ishikawa cells after AG490 treatment.Besides,the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 was down-regulated(P<0.05),and the capa-bilities of cell migration and invasion were suppressed in AG490-treated Ishikawa cells(P<0.05).The expression levels of Bcl-2 and cyclin D1 exhibited a decreasing trend(P<0.05),and the expression level of Bax increased(P<0.05)in Ishikawa cells after treatment with AG490.Additionally,AG490 inhibited Ishikawa cell proliferation,and enhanced the cell apoptosis(P<0.01).(3)The p-JAK2/JAK ratio and the IL-6 expression exhibited a decreasing trend in AG490 group(P<0.01).Moreover,the expression of E-cadherin was up-regulated(P<0.05),while the expression of N-cadherin,vi-mentin,Snail,Slug and Twist was down-regulated(P<0.05)in ADM mice after treatment with AG490.Compared with ADM group,the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 decreased in AG490 group(P<0.05),alongside the down-regulated Bcl-2/Bax ratio and PCNA expression(P<0.01).Besides,the cell apoptosis was enhanced by AG490.CONCLUSION:The IL-6/JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway is aberrantly activated in ADM and facilitates endometrial cell EMT,prolifera-tion,invasion and migration.Additionally,AG490 inhibits the progression of ADM by blocking the IL-6/JAK2/STAT3 sig-naling pathway.
