Lung cancer has become the leading cause of death from malignant tumors worldwide. At the same time, statistics show that the incidence and mortality of lung cancer are increasing year by year. Because patients with lung cancer do not have typical symptoms in the early stage, this directly leads to the majority of patients who are already at advanced stage at the time of diagnosis, and the prognosis is not good. How to diagnose lung cancer early and accurately and find patients with potential risks and predict the prognosis is of great significance for the formulation of further treatment plans. In recent years, the field of artificial intelligence has been booming. As a branch of artificial intelligence, machine learning could learn efficiently from complex and large amounts of data. Besides, the learned model has good generalization ability. These characteristics can take greatly advance on the research about lung cancer

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR), and to explore the risk factors leading to poor prognosis.Methods:The clinical data of 95 patients with ECPR admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2020 to May 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the survival status at the time of discharge, the patients were divided into the survival group and death group. The difference of clinical data between the two groups was compared to explore the risk factors related to death and poor prognosis. Risk factors associated with death were identified by Binary Logistic regression analysis. Results:A total of 95 patients with ECPR were included in this study, 62 (65.3%) died and 33 (34.7%) survived at discharge. Patients in the death group had longer low blood flow time [40 (30, 52.5) min vs. 30 (24.5, 40) min ] and total cardiac arrest time[40 (30, 52.5) min vs. 30(24.5, 40) min], shorter total hospital stay [3 (2, 7.25) d vs. 19 (13.5, 31) d] and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) assisted time [26.5 (17, 50) h vs. 62 (44, 80.5) h], and more IHCA patients (56.5% vs. 33.3%) and less had spontaneous rhythm recovery before ECMO (37.1% vs. 84.8%). Initial lactate value [(14.008 ± 5.188) mmol/L vs.(11.23 ± 4.718) mmol/L], APACHEⅡ score [(30.10 ± 7.45) vs. (25.88 ± 7.68)] and SOFA score [12 (10.75, 16) vs. 10 (9.5, 13)] were higher ( P< 0.05). Conclusions:No spontaneous rhythm recovery before ECMO, high initial lactic acid and high SOFA score are independent risk factors for poor prognosis in ECPR patients.

Objective:To study the mechanism of protective effect of erythropoietin (EPO) on glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis in rats through promoting vascular action mediated by VEGF, promoting osteogenesis, and inhibiting bone resorption.Methods:An animal experiment of 24 SD rats in total were divided into three groups: the osteoporosis group (20 mg/kg BW of methylprednisolone biwim for 6 weeks); the EPO group (MP 20 mg/kg biw+EPO 500 u/kg qdim); the nature salt group (0.9%NS). After 12 weeks, rats were harvested and received examination of histology (HE staining) for demonstration of protective effect, immunohistochemistry with CD31 stainingfor microvascular changes ,changes of VEGF and PCNA expressions using Western Boltfor microvascular and cell proliferation, and ELISA to detectOPN, PINP, CTX-1 in serumasbone turnover marker.Results:Hematoxylin and eosin staining in the model group showed that the bony trabeculae had become obviously narrow and sparse with discontinuity of the integrity. The integrity of the trabeculae was better in the EPO group. Immunohistochemical results: the EPO group CD31+ cell 16.60±4.88, the osteoporosis group 12.96±4.54, the NS group 25.84±7.97. CD31 expression was higher in the EPO group than the osteoporosis group. Western Bolt: in the NS groupthe ratio of VEGF/β-actin greyscalewas 0.570±0.022, with the osteoporosis group 0.446±0.083 and the EPO group 0.584±0.009; The ratio of PCNA/β-actingreyscale was 0.541±0.158 in the NS group, withthe osteoporosis group 0.187±0.099, the EPOgroup 0.733±0.257. VEGF and PCNA expression in the EPO group were higher than those in the osteoporosis group. ELISA: OPN results: the NS group 78.34±17.28 pg/ml, the osteoporosis group 368.48±97.23 pg/ml, the EPO group 217.62±39.11 pg/ml; P1NP results: the NS group 1 507.00±58.49 ng/ml, the osteoporosis group 1 196.00±91.32 ng/ml, the EPO group 1 621.00±65.57 ng/ml; CTX-1 results: the NS group 27.10±4.78 ng/ml, the osteoporosis group 39.46±9.23 ng/ml, the EPO group 31.17±4.11 ng/ml. The level of OPN and CTX-1 in the EPO group were lower than that in the osteoporosis group, and P1NP was higher than that in the osteoporosis group.Conclusion:EPO generates certain protective effect on bone of rats withglucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis. Its potential mechanism is to promote vascular action, promote osteogenesis, and inhibit bone resorption.

Objective:Explore the predictive value of the C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) and combined indicators for the prognosis of cardiac arrest (CA) patients.Methods:Retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who recovered spontaneous circulation after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2021 to May 2023. Patients were divided into survival and non-survival groups based on their status at discharge. Baseline characteristics, CPR data, and laboratory indicators were compared between the two groups. Statistically significant indicators were further analyzed using multivariate logistic regression to identify independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of CA patients. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed to assess the predictive value of each independent factor and combined indicators for the prognosis of CA patients.Results:A total of 145 patients were included in the study, including 33 patients in the survival group and 112 patients in the non-survival group. There were statistically significant differences between the survival group and the non-survival group in terms of CPR duration, the dosage of vasopressor drugs used, ICU length of stay, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health EvaluationⅡ (APACHEⅡ) score at ICU admission, lactate, fibrinogen, aspartate aminotransferase, albumin, procalcitonin, C-reactive protein, CAR, myoglobin, and creatine kinase isoenzyme (all P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that CAR and CPR duration were independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of CA patients (CAR: OR=2.372, 95% CI: 1.094~5.146, P=0.029; CPR duration: OR=1.170, 95% CI: 1.020~1.342, P=0.025). ROC curve analysis showed that the areas under the curve for CAR, CPR duration, and their combination in predicting patient prognosis were 0.792, 0.731, and 0.859, respectively. The cut-off values for CAR and CPR duration were 1.455 and 11.5 minutes, respectively. Conclusions:The CAR and CPR duration are independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of CA patients, and the predictive value is higher when both CAR and CPR duration are combined. A CAR greater than 1.455 and a CPR duration longer than 11.5 minutes suggest a poorer prognosis for the patients.

Ethical utilitarianism is a consequence-oriented ethical theory that pursues the maximization of happiness and fully considers the long-term impact of behavior. In the ethical review of human organ donation and transplantation, this theory is mainly applied in three aspects, ethical review supervision, process and content. However, in practice, it faces challenges such as the difficulty and subjectivity of utility calculation, the balance between individual rights and social welfare, the long-term impact of decision-making, and international cooperation under a global perspective. Therefore, governance strategies such as improving ethical review policy rules, refining the ethical review system by drawing on international experience, and strengthening public education and publicity are proposed. Despite many challenges, ethical utilitarianism still provides an important theoretical framework for the ethical review of human organ donation and transplantation. Therefore, this article reviews the application of ethical utilitarianism in the ethical review of human organ donation and transplantation and its challenges, aiming to provide a reference for related research on the ethical review of human organ donation and transplantation.
