ObjectiveTo develop a community-family management model for older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and to formulate detailed application specifications, and to fully leverage the initiative of communities and families under limited resource conditions, for achieving community-based early detection and early intervention for older adults with MCI. MethodsA systematic literature review was conducted to identify pertinent publications. Corpus-based research methodologies were employed to extract, refine, integrate and synthesize management elements, thereby establishing the specific content and service processes for each stage of the management model. Utilizing the 5W2H analytical framework, essential elements such as management stakeholders, target populations, content and methods for each stage were delineated. The model and its application guidelines were finalized through expert consultation and demonstration. ResultsAn expert evaluation of the management model yielded mean scores of 4.84, 4.32 and 4.84 for acceptability, feasibility and systematicity, respectively. By integrating the identified core elements with expert ratings and feedback, the final iteration of the community-family management model for older adults with MCI was formulated. This model comprised of five stages: screening and identification, comprehensive assessment, intervention planning, monitoring and referral pathways to ensure implementation, and enhanced support for communities, family members and caregivers. Additionally, it included 18 specific application guidelines. ConclusionThe proposed management model may theoretically help delay cognitive decline, improve cognitive function and potentially promote reversal from MCI to normal cognition. It may also enhance the awareness and coping capacity of older adults and their families, strengthen community healthcare professionals' ability to early identify and manage MCI.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and potential mechanism of caffeic acid (CA) on severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) induced by caerulein combined with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and to provide a basis for the research on novel drugs for the treatment of SAP. MethodsC57BL/6J mice, aged 6 weeks, were divided into control group, model group, CA group, and octreotide acetate (OA) group, with 6 mice in each group. The mice in the control group were given injection of normal saline, and those in the other groups were given intraperitoneal injection of caerulein combined with LPS to establish a mouse model of SAP. At 1 hour after the first injection of caerulein, the mice in the CA group and the OA group were given intraperitoneal injection of CA or subcutaneous injection of OA at an interval of 8 hours. The general status of the mice was observed after 24 hours of modeling, and serum, pancreas, lung, and colon samples were collected. HE staining was used to observe the histopathological changes of the pancreas and lungs, and the serum levels of α-amylase, lipase, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and creatinine were measured. RT-PCR was used to measure the expression of proinflammatory factors in the pancreas and lungs; myeloperoxidase (MPO) immunohistochemistry was used to observe the degree of neutrophil infiltration; Western blot was used to measure the activation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) and the level of citrullinated histone H3 (CitH3), a marker for the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), in the pancreas and lungs, as well as the expression level of ZO-1 in colon tissue. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of continuous data between multiple groups, and the Dunnett’s t-test was used for further comparison between two groups. ResultsCompared with the control group, the model group had severe injury in the pancreas and lungs and significant increases in the activity of serum α- amylase and lipase and the levels of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-6, interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and TNF-α in serum and lung tissue (all P<0.05), as well as significant increases in NF-κB activation, neutrophil infiltration, and the formation of NETs in the pancreas and lungs (all P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the CA group had alleviated pathological injury of the pancreas and lungs and significant reductions in the activity of serum α-amylase and the levels of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α in serum and lung tissue (all P<0.05), as well as significant reductions in NF-κB activation, neutrophil infiltration, and the formation of NETs in the pancreas and lungs (all P<0.05). ConclusionCA can alleviate SAP induced by caerulein combined with LPS in mice, possibly by inhibiting neutrophil recruitment and the formation of NETs.

Objectives:To investigate the association of trajectories of atherogenic index of plasma(AIP)with the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease(ASCVD). Methods:A total of 51 831 employees and retirees who participated in Kailuan Group health examination for three consecutive times from 2006 to 2010 were included in this study.AIP was calculated using the log(triglycerides[TG]/high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol[HDL-C])formula.AIP trajectory models were fitted by the SAS Proc Traj program,and according to AIP trajectory,the subjects were divided into low stability group(n=11 114),low to moderate stability group(n=21 647),medium to high stability group(n=13 659),and high stability group(n=5 411).Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the cumulative incidence of ASCVD in different groups and compared by log-rank test.Cox proportional risk regression model was used to analyze the effects of different AIP trajectories on ASCVD risk. Results:Finally,51 831 patients were included in the analysis.During a mean follow-up of(10.19±2.22)years,5 142(9.92%)subjects developed ASCVD,4 013(7.74%)subjects died.Cox regression analysis after adjusting for confounding factors showed:compared with the low stability group,the risk of ASCVD increased by 13%(HR=1.13,95%CI:1.04-1.23,P=0.003)and 20%(HR=1.20,95%CI:1.10-1.31,P<0.001)and 41%(HR=1.41,95%CI:1.27-1.57,P<0.001)in the low to moderate stability group,moderate to high stability group and high stability group,respectively,and the risk increased gradually(Ptrend<0.001).Stratified analysis showed that the risk of ASCVD in people aged<65 years and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)<3.4 mmol/L with long-term high levels of AIP was higher than that in people aged≥65 years and LDL-C≥3.4 mmol/L(both Pinteraction<0.01). Conclusions:In Kailuan Study cohort,those with long-term high levels of AIP had a higher risk of ASCVD,and the risk gradually increased.In addition,we found that the risk of ASCVD in people with long-term high levels of AIP was higher in<65 years old than in≥65 years old,and the risk of ASCVD in people with LDL-C<3.4 mmol/L was higher than that in people with LDL-C≥3.4 mmol/L.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective:To establish a nomogram for preoperative differentiating intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) based on clinical, ultrasound, and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) data.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on ultrasound and CEUS data of 462 patients who underwent hepatectomy in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School from January 2016 to December 2023, including 262 cases of HCC (56.7%) and 200 cases of ICC (43.3%). The data were randomly divided into training set ( n=324) and validation set ( n=138) in a 7∶3 ratio. Univariate analysis was used to initially screen for variables with statistically significant differences between HCC and ICC groups in the training set, and LASSO regression was performed to select the variables with higher coefficients. Logistic regression analyses were then used to predict independent risk factors for ICC. A nomogram was drawn using R software. The performance of the nomogram was then validated using ROC curve, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results:Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in age, gender, liver cirrhosis, HBsAg (+ ), ALP >185 U/L, CA19-9 >27 kU/L, CA242>10 kU/L, irregular shape, border, cholangiectasis, portal vein tumor thrombus, enhanced pattern in arterial phase, clearance time <60 s, intra-tumoral vein between ICC and HCC groups (all P<0.05). The top 10 features were selected for LASSO regression analysis. Logistic regression analysis revealed that gender, cirrhosis, CA19-9>27 kU/L, CA242>10 kU/L, cholangiectasis, clearance time <60 s, intra-tumoral vein and enhanced pattern in arterial phase were risk factors for ICC (all P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve in the training and validation groups were 0.963 and 0.914, respectively. In the training group, the specificity and sensitivity of the nomogram were 0.926 and 0.917, respectively, and in the validation group, they were 0.875 and 0.871, respectively. The calibration curve showed that the prediction effect of the model was in good agreement with the actual situation. DCA showed that the nomogram could increase the net benefit to the different diagnosis of ICC in patients. Conclusions:The nomogram based on clinical, ultrasound and CEUS features has a good predictive value for preoperative identification of ICC and provides reliable evidence for clinical practice.

Objective:To establish and evaluate a clinical and ultrasound parameters-based nomogram for the preoperative differentiating diagnosis of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC).Methods:A total of 723 patients undergoing hepatectomy in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Medical School, Nanjing University from January 2016 to August 2022 were retrospectively screened. A total of 399 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC, 198 cases) or ICC (201 cases) were enrolled in this study, including 284 males and 115 females, aged (60.5±10.5) years. Through random sampling using computer-generated random numbers, patients were divided into training ( n=279) and validation groups ( n=120) in a ratio of 7∶3. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were performed to identify factors differentiating ICC, and a nomogram was established using R software based on independent risk factors for ICC. The accuracy of the nomogram was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curve and calibration curves. Decision curve analysis was performed to assess the net benefit of the model. Results:Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that irregular shape, cholangiectasis, female, cirrhosis, carbohydrate antigen 242 >10 U/ml, carbohydrate antigen 125 >30 U/ml and alpha-fetoprotein >10 μg/L were independent differentiating factors for ICC (all P<0.05). A nomogram was constructed based on those factors. The nomogram showed a better discrimination between ICC and HCC. The area under the curve of the training group and the validation group were 0.966 and 0.956, respectively. The calibration curve showed that the prediction effect of the model is in good agreement with the actual situation. Decision curve analysis showed that the nomogram was more effective than diagnosing all patients as either HCC or ICC, which yielded a net benefit at the most reasonable threshold probabilities. Conclusion:The nomogram for the preoperative diagnosis of ICC based on clinical and ultrasound features showed a good diagnostic performance.
