Objective To establish alcoholic liver disease (ALD) model of rats. Method Rats were given wine by ig for 13 weeks. ALD were assessed by the level of serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (ALT), glutamic oxalacetic transaminase (AST), malonaldehyde (MDA) and pathological changes of liver. Result Over-dose wine can increase the level of serum ALT, AST, and MDA, decrease the level of serum albumin (ALB), and induce hepatic steatosis. Conclusion Alcoholic liver disease model of rats can be established by long-time and over-dose wine. The model can be applied in the research of ALD.

Objective:To assess the value of serum tumor specific protein 70 (SP70) for prognostic stratification in acute myeloid leukemia (AML).Methods:A cohort study design was adopted. 129 newly diagnosed AML patients from September 2022 to January 2024 at the Hematology Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were included, as well as a control group consisted of 120 healthy individuals and 7 cases with benign hematologic diseases during the same period (total 127 cases). Clinical data were collected from Electronic Medical Records. According to the 2023 edition of the Chinese Leukemia Diagnosis and Treatment Guidelines, AML patients with good or moderate prognosis were categorized as low-to-intermediate risk, while those with poor prognosis were high-risk group. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify variables significantly associated with AML prognostic risk. ROC analysis was used to evaluate diagnostic performance. A nomogram for predicting patient prognostic risk was constructed by R 4.0.2 software, and the internal validation was performed using bootstrapping.Results:Among 129 AML patients, there were 71 males (55.0%) and 58 females (45.0%), with 42 (32.6%) classified as high-risk and 87 (67.4%) as low-intermediate risk. The high-risk group had a significantly higher median age [62 (48, 67) years] compared to the low-intermediate risk group [50 (35, 63) years, Z=-2.381, P=0.017], and a significantly higher proportion of males (30 patients, 71.4%) compared to the low-intermediate risk group (41 patients, 47.1%, χ 2=6.760, P=0.009). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that serum SP70 ( OR=2.54, 95% CI: 1.68-3.84, P<0.001), hemoglobin (HB) ( OR=0.96, 95% CI: 0.93-0.99, P<0.05), and bone marrow blast (BM blast) ( OR=1.07, 95% CI: 1.02-1.13, P<0.05) were independent risk factors for high-risk prognosis in AML patients. ROC analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) for SP70 predicting high-risk patients was 0.908 (cut-off value of 5.74 ng/ml, 95% CI: 0.845-0.952, sensitivity 90.5%, specificity 82.8%). The combined model of serum SP70, HB, and BM blasts had an AUC of 0.931 (95% CI: 0.890-0.973); C-index=0.925 (95% CI: 0.876-0.963),with no statistically significant difference compared to serum SP70 alone ( Z=1.693, P>0.05). Conclusion:Serum SP70 may be a promising non-invasive molecular biomarker for prognostic stratification in AML.

AIM: To investigate the relationship between the levels of serum dehydroepiandrosterone(DHEA), erythropoietin(Epo), vasohibin-1(VASH-1)and diabetic retinopathy(DR)in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM). METHODS: Totally 185 T2DM patients(185 eyes)treated in our hospital from April 2021 to March 2024 were selected and divided into T2DM group(102 eyes)and DR group(83 eyes)based on whether retinal lesions occurred. DR patients were divided into nonproliferative DR group(NPDR, 47 cases, 47 eyes)and proliferative DR group(PDR, 36 cases, 36 eyes)based on the severity of their lesions. Fully automatic biochemical analyzer was used to detect serum biochemical indicators. ELISA was applied to detect serum levels of DHEA, Epo, and VASH-1. Pearson correlation was applied to analyze the correlation between serum DHEA, Epo, and VASH-1 levels and the severity of diabetic retinopathy. Logistic regression was applied to analyze the factors affecting the occurrence of DR. ROC curve was applied to analyze the diagnostic value of serum DHEA, Epo, and VASH-1 levels for T2DM combined with DR or PDR.RESULTS: Compared with the T2DM group, the DR group showed significantly increased DM duration, fasting blood glucose, uric acid, creatinine, and Epo, while DHEA and VASH-1 levels were significantly reduced(all P<0.05); Compared with the NPDR group, the PDR group showed a significant decrease in serum DHEA and VASH-1 levels, and a significant increase in Epo levels(all P<0.05); the levels of serum DHEA and VASH-1 were negatively correlated with the severity of DR, while the level of Epo was positively correlated with the severity of DR(all P<0.05); DHEA and VASH-1 were protective factors against DR, while Epo was a risk factor for DR(all P<0.05); the AUC of serum DHEA, Epo, and VASH-1 levels alone and in combination for the diagnosis of T2DM with DR were 0.804, 0.797, 0.805, and 0.903, respectively. The combined diagnostic value was higher than that of single diagnosis(all P<0.05); the AUC of serum DHEA, Epo, and VASH-1 levels alone and in combination for diagnosing PDR were 0.852, 0.850, 0.841, and 0.946, respectively. The value of combined diagnosis was significantly higher than that of individual diagnosis(all P<0.05).CONCLUSION:The levels of serum DHEA and VASH-1 in DR patients are clearly reduced, the level of Epo is clearly increased, and their levels are closely related to the severity of DR patients; therefore, combined detection has higher value for T2DM complicated with DR or PDR.
