Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors after percutaneous coronary intervention of women with the first non-ST-segment elevation myoeardial infarction.Methods A total of 123 female patients with AMI,including 70 patients with NSTEMI and 53 patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI),who received PCI within 24 hours of onset were selected from June 2013 to June 2015.The clinical data were compared between patients with NSTEMI and with STEMI.Cox regression model was used to analyze the prognostic factors for the elderly patients with NSTEMI.Results The female patients with NSTEMI had more cases of patients with hypertension (48 vs.26),diabetes (38 vs.38) and hyperlipidemia (52 vs.29)than the female patients with STEMI.Significant differences in systolic blood pressure [(134.31±22.26)mmHg vs.(125.04 ± 19.63) mmHg],levels of white blood cell [(9.02 ± 3.75) 109/L vs.(11.37 ± 3.63) 109/L] and troponin Ⅰ [(8.63 ± 18.34) μg/L vs.(18.79 ± 27.76) μg/L] were observed in the above two groups (l P < 0.05,respectively).The rates of revascularization,major adverse cardiovascular events in NSTEMI group were higher than those in STEMI group during 1 year after discharge (47.7% vs.28.0%,62.9% vs.35.8%) (P < 0.05,respectively).Cox survival analysis showed that white blood cell (HR =1.241) and troponin-Ⅰ (HR =1.026) elevation were the risk prognostic factors after PCI for women with the first NSTEMI.Conclusion More hypertension,diabetes,hyperlipidemia and higher levels of systolic blood pressure,lower levels of white blood cell and troponin Ⅰ were observed in women with the first NSTEMI.The long-term prognosis of female patients with NSTEMI is poor.And elevated levels of white blood cell and troponin-Ⅰ were the risk prognostic factors after PCI for women with the first NSTEMI.

AIM: To investigate the interactive effects of blood glucose and blood calcium on the prognostic impact of patients with acute severe pancreatitis (SAP) and to analyze their predictive efficacy on prognosis. METHODS: One hundred and seven patients with SAP admitted to our hospital from September 2019 to October 2022 were selected for the study and were divided into poor and good groups according to their prognosis within 28 d. The blood glucose, blood calcium, modified Marshall score, bedside acute pancreatitis severity score (BISAP) were compared between the two groups before treatment, after 3 d of treatment, and after 7 d of treatment, and the correlation between blood glucose, blood calcium and modified Marshall score and BISAP score was analyzed. The blood glucose levels of patients with different blood calcium were compared. Cox regression was used to analyze the factors associated with prognosis. The presence and type of interaction between blood glucose and blood calcium on prognosis were analyzed using the interaction coefficient γ and relative risk (RR) values. The subject operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to analyze the predictive efficacy of blood glucose and blood calcium on prognosis. RESULTS: The blood glucose, modified Marshall score, and BISAP score of the adverse group after treatment were higher than those of the good group, while the blood calcium was lower than that of the good group (P<0.05). After 3 and 7 days of treatment, blood glucose was positively correlated with improved Marshall score and BISAP score (P<0.05). The blood glucose level in patients with decreased blood calcium was higher than that in patients with normal blood calcium (P<0.05). The decrease of blood calcium had positive interaction with the increase of blood glucose (P<0.05). After 3 and 7 days of treatment, the AUC of blood glucose combined with blood calcium was greater than that predicted by single index (P< 0.05). CONCLUSION: Blood glucose and blood calcium are related to the severity of the disease in SAP patients. There is an interaction between blood glucose and blood calcium in predicting the prognosis of SAP patients. The combined detection of blood glucose and blood calcium has a certain predictive effect on the prognosis of SAP patients.

China Clinical Cases Library of Traditional Chinese Medicine is built to promote the establishment of a scientific and technological talent evaluation system oriented on innovative value, ability and contribution in the backgroud of breaking the four only and setting new standards required by the document jointly issued by several national administrations and commissions. In the process of the construction, in order to further consolidate the foundation and ensure the quality and authority of case reports, we need to fully understand the origin and development of Chinese medical cases. Therefore, we clarified the development situation of Chinese medical cases by combing the characteristics of ancient and modern case reports, comparing the differences between Chinese and western medical case reports in terms of content and writing requirements, finally formed the main points of systematic case report norms and quality evaluation system, aiming to fully explore the unique advantages of Chinese medical cases in the fields of discipline development, scientific research innovation, clinical practice and guidance, talent evaluation and training, so as to promote its innovative development in a broader direction.

【Objective】 To identify the risk factors of patients of bone metastatic prostate cancer with high tumor load progressed to castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), establish a nomogram prediction model and evaluate its consistency and accuracy. 【Methods】 A total of 164 patients diagnosed by puncture and imaging during 2012 and 2022 were included.The general characteristics were analyzed with IBM SPSS software; the variables were screened with Cox regression; the multivariate risk factors with P<0.05 were included in the nomogram prediction model.The consistency and prediction accuracy of the model were evaluated with C-index, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and calibration chart. 【Results】 In univariate analysis, initial prostate-specific antigen (PSA), prostate-specific antigen density (PSAD), Gleason score, T stage, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were correlated with CRPC (P<0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that initial PSA, Gleason score, T stage, ALP and LDH were independent risk factors of CRPC (P<0.05).Based on the above five risk factors, a nomogram prediction model was constructed.The C-index was 0.801, the area under ROC curve (AUC) of 1-year progression-free survival (PFS) was 0.701 (0.608-0.794), and the AUC of 2-year PFS was 0.857 (0.767-0.947).The calibration chart showed that the prediction probability of the model was in good agreement with the actual probability. 【Conclusion】 Initial PSA, Gleason score, T stage, ALP and LDH are independent risk factors of CRPC.The predictive model may be an effective tool for the initial diagnosis of high tumor load bone metastatic prostate cancer, but more data are needed for internal and external validation.

Talents are the main force for the development of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM), and the construction of TCM talents and the reformation of talent evaluation system are essential to promote the inheritance and innovation of TCM. At present, we are still exploring and developing in the fields of the formulation, implementation and evaluation indicators of TCM talent evaluation system. However, there are shortcomings and difficulties. For instance, insufficient stratification in the evaluation, excessive emphasis on the quantity of achievements, neglecting the quality of the achievements and the actual contribution, imperfect assessment indicators, and the weak characteristics of TCM. Therefore, national ministries and commissions have jointly issued a document requesting to break the four only and set a new standard, in order to promote the construction of a scientific and technological talent evaluation system oriented by innovation value, ability and contribution. For the evaluation of TCM clinical talents, China Association for Science and Technology commissioned China Association of Chinese Medicine to build the China Clinical Cases Library of TCM(CCCL-TCM), which aims at collecting the most authoritative and representative TCM clinical cases and exploring the advantages of applying clinical cases as masterpiece of achievement in TCM clinical talents evaluation. CCCL-TCM can promote the construction of a talent evaluation system that is more in line with the development characteristics of TCM industry, and to carry out relevant pilot in TCM colleges and institutions across the country in order to promote the reformation of TCM talent evaluation system.
