Objective To explore the value of the plasma miR-193a-5p level on diagnosis and monitoring the response to treatment in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Methods Peripheral blood samples were obtained from AML patients enrolled in hematology department of the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from July 2015 to December 2015, including 30 de novo AML patients, 9 patients in complete remission (CR) and 6 patients in relapse. Peripheral blood samples from 15 healthy people were randomly choosed as the health control group. Plasma miR-193a-5p expression levels were detected by using quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Results The plasma miR-193a-5p relative expression level of AML patients group [0.465 6 (0.103 1-5.000 2)] was obviously lower than that of health control group [0.766 1 (0.052 1-3.134 4)] (U= 122, P= 0.018 7). The plasma miR-193a-5p relative expression levels of de novo group and relapse AML group were significantly lower than those of CR group and health control group (P<0.05), and there was no significant difference between the CR group and health control group (U= 56, P= 0.511 9). No significant correlation was found between the plasma miR-193a-5p level and age, gender, blast percentage of the bone marrow, peripheral blood leukocyte count, platelet count, CD34+cells'percentage and so on. Conclusion The decreased plasma miR-193a-5p expression level can be served as a new and noninvasive biomarker for the evaluation of diagnosis and treatment in AML.

Objective:To establish the prediction model for postoperative delirium in elderly patients with mild stroke undergoing non-cardiac and non-intracranial surgery.Methods:This was a nested case-control study. Seven hundred and fifty elderly patients of either sex with mild stroke, aged ≥65 yr, undergoing elective surgical procedures under general anesthesia in the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Orthopedics and Urology at the Tangshan Workers Hospital from May to December 2023, were selected. The perioperative clinical data were collected. The incidence of postoperative delirium was assessed using the Confusion Assessment Scale 1-7 days after surgery or 1 day before discharge. The patients were assigned to the training set and the validation set in a ratio of 7∶3 using a simple random sampling method. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify the risk factors for postoperative delirium, a postoperative delirium risk prediction model was established based on the risk factors, the nomogram was developed, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve and decision curve were plotted to assess the accuracy of the prediction model. The prediction model was verified using the validation set, and the calibration curve and ROC curve were plotted to assess the predictive performance of the model.Results:A total of 721 patients were finally included, and 108 patients developed postoperative delirium. Older age, high American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification, history of preoperative hypertension, short years of education, high preoperative Pittsburgh sleep quality index score, high preoperative National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, high intraoperative hypothermia, intraoperative hypotension and high postoperative numerical rating scale score were independent risk factors for postoperative delirium ( P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve of the training set prediction model was 0.996, with a sensitivity of 1.000, and specificity of 0.945. The slope of the calibration curve was close to 1, and the predicted risk of postoperative delirium was in good agreement with the actual risk. When the threshold probability of the decision curve was 0-0.9, the net return rate was higher than the null line. Validation set: In the calibration curve of the prediction model, the cohort and calibration curves were close to the ideal line, with an area under the ROC curve of 0.997, sensitivity of 1.000, and specificity of 0.962. Conclusions:Based on age, American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification, history of preoperative hypertension, years of education, preoperative Pittsburgh sleep quality index score, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, intraoperative hypothermia and hypotension and postoperative numerical rating scale score, the prediction model for postoperative delirium is developed and has a good predictive performance in elderly patients with mild stroke undergoing non-cardiac and non-intracranial surgery.

Objective:To learn about the infection and gene polymorphisms of hepatitis E virus (HEV) in murine-shaped animals of plague foci in Yunnan Province.Methods:From July to August 2019, around 16 natural villages (4 in Mile City, 6 in Mangshi and 6 in Lianghe County), which were the foci of domestic plague in Yunnan Province, the murine-shaped animals were captured by the night-time method. The liver RNA was extracted, and the target gene of rat HEV was detected by one-step real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR, and the positive rate of rat HEV was calculated. The rat HEV positive samples were amplified by PCR for further clone sequencing, and the resulting sequences were compared with the HEV sequences registered in the GenBank and a phylogenetic tree was constructed by using MegAlign and MEGA 7.0.Results:A total of 491 murine-shaped animals were captured from 3 orders, 5 families, 8 genera, 15 species, and the positive rate of rat HEV was 4.89% (24/491). Among them, the positive rate of Rattus tanezumi and Niviventer fulvescens was 9.39% (23/245) and 1/3, respectively; and other species were negative. There was a statistically significant difference in the positive rate of rat HEV between different habitats ( P = 0.014), and the positive rate of rat HEV in the habitats near the dwellings was higher than that in other habitats ( P < 0.05). The sequence comparison analysis showed that the gene sequence of P018 from Lianghe County was 100.0% homologous to the MG813927.1 sequence of the first patient with rat HEV in Hongkong, and it was clustered into the same branch with the sequences of MG813927.1 and LC549185.1 from rat, was the type HEV C. G024 from Mangshi shared a low homology (20.7% - 31.5%) with other virus strains, and it was clustered into the same branch with a HEV sequence from an avian (AY535004.1). Conclusions:Rat HEV is prevalent in murine-shaped animals of plague foci of Yunnan Province, and there may be gene polymorphisms of rat HEV. In addition, the difference infection rate may be related to the habitats.
