Background Patients with pneumoconiosis often have limited disease-related knowledge, insufficient access to health education, and substantial health management needs. Health education may help improve rehabilitation outcomes and quality of life in this population. Objective To evaluate the effects of health education based on the Listen-Establish-Adopt-Reinforce-Name-Strength (LEARNS) model on rehabilitation outcomes, health-related behaviors, and quality of life among pneumoconiosis patients, and provide effective intervention strategies for the rehabilitation management of patients with pneumoconiosis. Methods A randomized controlled trial was conducted. A total of 120 pneumoconiosis patients treated in the Department of Occupational Diseases, Beijing Emergency General Hospital, from November 2024 to February 2025 were enrolled. Participants were randomly assigned to a control group or an intervention group using a random number table method, with 60 patients in each group. The control group received routine pharmacotherapy, whereas the intervention group received a 12-week LEARNS model-based health-education intervention in addition to routine treatment. The 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) was used to assess exercise tolerance, and the modified Medical Research Council dyspnoea scale (mMRC) was used to evaluate dyspnoea. The Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) were applied for psychological status assessment. Pulmonary function, including forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV₁) and forced vital capacity (FVC), was measured using spirometry. A self-designed scale was used to evaluate eight health-related behaviors targeted by the health education program. The 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Assessment Test (CAT) were used to assess quality of life, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was adopted to evaluate sleep quality. Results After the 12-week intervention, the control group showed no statistically significant changes from baseline in the measured outcomes(P＞0.05). In the intervention group, exercise tolerance improved significantly, with the 6-minute walking distance increasing from (382.55±19.52) m to (426.84±33.59) m (P＜0.001). Dyspnoea was also alleviated, with the mMRC score decreasing from 1.37±0.66 to 0.96±0.54 (P＜0.001). The CAT score decreased from 18.95±7.03 to 10.67±3.64 (P＜0.001). Significant improvements were observed in anxiety and depression symptoms (P＜0.001), with the SAS score decreasing from 38.85±6.24 to 34.27±2.27, and the SDS score decreasing from 49.01±3.25 to 45.49±3.44. Sleep quality improved significantly, with the PSQI score dropping from 7.89±4.35 to 4.05±2.31 (P＜0.001). All eight health-related behaviors in the intervention group improved significantly after the intervention (P＜0.001), including acquisition of disease-related knowledge (1.87±0.34 vs. 3.13±0.45), participation in health education activities (1.89±0.52 vs. 3.61±0.38), and regular physical exercise (2.37±0.41 vs. 4.17±0.33). All SF-36 domain scores increased significantly (P＜0.05), with the most prominent improvements observed in physical functioning, general health, and vitality. At week 12, all SF-36 domain scores were significantly higher in the intervention group than in the control group (P＜0.05). No statistically significant between-group differences were detected in pulmonary function parameters (P＞0.05). Conclusion LEARNS model-based health education could improve exercise tolerance, dyspnea, psychological status, sleep quality, health-related behaviors, and quality of life among patients with pneumoconiosis, and therefore may be a useful adjunctive strategy for rehabilitation management in patients with pneumoconiosis.

ObjectiveTo systematically review the association between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease （NAFLD） and depression， and to provide a basis for synergistic management in clinical practice. MethodsThis study was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines， with the PROSPERO registration number of CRD42023482013. PubMed， Embase， the Cochrane Library， Web of Science， CNKI， Wanfang Data， VIP， and CBM were searched for articles on the association between NAFLD and depression published up to November 1， 2024. The articles were screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria， and related data were extracted. RevMan 5.3 was used to perform the Meta-analysis. ResultsA total of 18 studies were included， involving 396 793 participants. Among these studies， 12 discussed the influence of NAFLD on depression， involving 224 269 participants， among whom there were 75 574 patients with NAFLD. The Meta-analysis showed that NAFLD was significantly associated with the risk of depression （odds ratio ［OR］=1.21， 95% confidence interval ［CI］： 1.12 — 1.30， P0.001）. Six studies examined the influence of depression on NAFLD， involving 172 524 participants， among whom there were 29 368 patients with depression. The meta-analysis showed that depression caused a significant increase in the risk of NAFLD （OR=1.13， 95%CI： 1.05 — 1.22， P=0.001）. ConclusionThere is a significant bidirectional association between NAFLD and depression. It is recommended to perform the screening for depression and enhance mental health monitoring in patients with NAFLD， and metabolic function assessment and exercise intervention should be performed for patients with depression.

Mitochondria are abundant in hepatocytes and play an important role in the normal operation of the liver. Mitochondrial division/fusion is two biological processes that maintain the dynamic balance of mitochondria， and it is closely associated with the change of cell function and the development and progression of diseases. Balance of mitochondrial division/fusion is of key significance in the treatment of many diseases. Recent studies have shown that abnormal mitochondrial division/fusion plays a significant role in fatty liver disease， hepatitis， liver fibrosis， and liver cancer， which are the four stages of the progression of liver diseases， and the therapeutic targets based on the regulation of such abnormalities are constantly being identified. By reviewing the role of mitochondrial division/fusion in different stages of liver disease， this article further demonstrates the role of mitochondrial division/fusion mechanism in chronic liver diseases and also provides a scientific basis for more ideas on the treatment， remission or even reversal of liver disease progression based on mitochondrial division/fusion.

Objective To investigate the status and distribution characteristics of human immuno-deficiency virus(HIV)infection,and the relationship between sample value/cut-off value(S/CO value)and positive test when HIV is tested reactivity by chemiluminescence immunoassay(CLIA).Methods The data of 820 HIV reactivity samples screened by Abbott CLIA in the Department of Clinical Laboratory of Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University from 2017 to 2023 were selected as the research objects.SPSS22.0 software was used for statistical analysis according to different years,genders and ages.The distribution characteristics of screening reactivity and confirmed positive immunoblot test was compared.The relationship between the confirmed positive,uncertain and negative results and their S/CO values,and the distribution of corresponding bands were retrospectively analyzed.Results From 2017 to 2023,the total number of HIV positive patients decreased first decreased and then increased.The positive rate was 31.95%(262/820),the ratio of males to females was 6.7∶1,the gender difference was statistically significant(χ2=126.8,P<0.05).The ratio of men to women who responded to the screening test was 1.4∶1.The age group with the most confirmed positives for both men and women was 30～50 years old.Divided into five groups according to S/CO value,the positive rate was 0%(0/436)in 1.0≤S/CO≤5.0 group,the positive rate was 6.90%(4/58)in 5.0＜S/CO≤10.0 group,the positive rate was 25.86%(15/58)in 10.0＜S/CO≤50.0 group,the positive rate was 82.09%(110/134)in 50.0＜S/CO≤500.0 group,and the positive rate was 99.25%(133/134)in S/CO＞500.0 group,there was statistical significance in the number of confirmed positives among the five groups(χ2=816.3,P<0.05).There were 473 confirmed negative cases,more women than men,the difference was statistically significant(χ2=98.3,P<0.05),among which the results of S/CO value≤10.0 accounted for 90.49%(428/473).There were 85 uncertain cases,the gender difference was not statistically significant(χ2=1.3,P>0.05),among which the results of S/CO value≤10.0 accounted for 72.94%(62/85).The positive bands gp120 and gp160 appeared in all the results,and p55 appeared the least,accounted for 51.91%(136/262).The uncertain bands were mainly p24,followed by gp160,etc.To a certain extent,the higher the S/CO value of chemiluminescence screening test,the more bands were present when the confirmative test was positive,and the more bands were present when the confirmative test was uncertain.Conclusion The higher the S/CO value of chemiluminescence test for HIV screening test,the higher the positive rate of the confirmation test and the more positive bands,they have practical value for laboratory analysis and early clinical diagnosis.

“Integrated elderly care and medical services” is a new model of elderly care that relies on medical care as a guarantee， rehabilitation as a support， and combines ongoing medical treatment with nurturing， offering comprehensive therapy. This new type of elderly care model also poses new job requirements for elderly care workers. However， there is currently a large shortage of elderly care workers， along with prevalent issues such as low professional quality， low education level， and an older average age. The main reasons for this situation are low welfare benefits， low social status， and an incomplete promotion system in the industry， resulting in low social recognition of the industry， a shortage of employees， and a high number of resignations. Based on this， it is suggested to expand the number of the elderly care team and enhance the quality of the elderly care team by improving the career development system， increasing salary and welfare benefits， and expanding social recognition.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of orelabrutinib combined with R-CHOP in patients with high-risk nongerminal center B-cell (non-GCB) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with extranodal involvement.Methods:This retrospective study was conducted on 35 patients who were seen at Guangxi Medical University Cancer Hospital and were immunohistochemically confirmed to have non-GCB DLBCL, had an International Prognostic Index score of 3 - 5, and confirmed to have ≥2 extranodal involvement on PET/CT. The treatment comprised the standard R-CHOP regimen combined with oral orelabrutinib (150 mg/day) for six cycles. In patients who developed neutropenia or grade 3 neutropenia with fever during treatment, administration of prophylactic pegylated granulocyte colony-stimulating factor 48 h after the end of chemotherapy was started on the next cycle. The endpoints included overall response rate (ORR), complete response (CR) rate, progression-free survival (PFS) time, overall survival (OS) time, and safety assessment.Results:The 35 eligible patients enrolled had a median age of 53 years (21 - 72 years) and a median follow-up time of 28 months (12 - 36 months) ; 19 patients had double-expressor (DE) status. The ORR was 88.6%, and the CR rate was 68.6%. The 2-year PFS and OS rates were 68.6% (95% CI 54.0% - 7.2%) and 87.5% (95% CI 76.7% - 100%), respectively. The 2-year PFS rate was significantly lower in patients with DE status than in those without DE status [54.4% (95% CI 35.4% - 84.2%) vs. 85.2% (95% CI 68.3% - 100%), P=0.048]. Serious adverse events included febrile neutropenia, pneumonia, and atrial flutter, but no treatment-related deaths. Conclusion:In patients with high-risk non-GCB DLBCL and extranodal involvement, the combination of orelabrutinib with R-CHOP regimen had good efficacy and manageable toxicity.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of a patient-family-centered visiting model in improving caregivers'beliefs and attitudes toward visiting patients with mental disorders.Methods:A total of 140 caregivers of inpatients diagnosed with mental disorders according to the ICD-10 were randomly assigned to an intervention group(n=71)and a control group(n=69).The intervention group participated a patient-family-centered visiting model for 4 weeks,while the control group followed routine visitation.Caregivers' beliefs and attitudes were assessed using the Beliefs and Attitudes toward Visitation in ICU Questionnaire(BAVIQ)was used to assess the improvement in caregivers' beliefs and attitudes before the intervention and at the end of the 1st,2nd,3rd,and 4th weeks after the intervention.Results:Repeated measures ANOVA showed that the belief score and attitude score of the BAVIQ questionnaire in the intervention group were significantly higher than those in the control group(Ps＜0.05)across time points.Chi-square test further confirmed that the improvement in the intervention group were significantly bet-ter than in the control group(Ps＜0.05).Conclusion:The patient-family-centered visiting model is more effective than routine visiting model in improving the caregivers' visiting beliefs and attitudes in mental health settings.

Objective:To analyze the diagnostic value of bedside capsule endoscopy in patients with acute or severe gastrointestinal bleeding.Methods:Clinical data from patients who underwent bedside capsule endoscopy due to acute or severe suspected gastrointestinal bleeding in Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University from June 2018 to September 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. The efficacy of capsule endoscopy in detecting upper gastrointestinal tract and small intestinal bleeding was evaluated.Results:A total of 74 patients underwent bedside capsule endoscopy for suspected acute or severe gastrointestinal bleeding. Five patients were excluded due to failure of examination due to retention of capsule endoscope in the gastric lumen, and 69 were included in the study, of whom 54 patients with a definitive diagnosis of gastrointestinal hemorrhage. The positive detection rate of the capsule endoscopy was 83.33% (45/54), including 17 cases of ulcer, 5 cases of erosion, 5 cases of vascular malformation, 4 protrusion mass, 4 diverticulum, 5 obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, 1 stenosis , 1 active mucosal blood exudation, 1 gastric retention, 1 mucosal swelling, and 1 mucosal wrinkle change. The sensitivity and specificity of capsule endoscopy in the diagnosis of upper gastrointestinal bleeding were 92.31% (12/13) and 75.00% (3/4) respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of capsule endoscopy for diagnosing small intestinal bleeding were 80.49% (33/41) and 90.91% (10/11) respectively.Conclusion:Bedside capsule endoscopy demonstrates high sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal bleeding, showing potential advantages in bedside applications for acute and severe gastrointestinal bleeding.

Objective:To summarize the clinicopathological features, evolving trends in treatment and surgical approaches, and survival outcomes of patients who underwent D2 radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer in Shanxi Provincial Cancer Hospital over the past 11 years with the goal of providing a reference for the clinical practice of gastric cancer in this region.Methods:A retrospective observational study was conducted to analyze the clinicopathological data of patients who underwent D2 radical gastrectomy for pathologically confirmed gastric malignancy at the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Shanxi Provincial Cancer Hospital from January, 2013 to December, 2023. Exclusion criteria consisted of: (1) residual gastric cancer or recurrent gastric cancer after surgery; (2) emergency gastric cancer resection due to bleeding, perforation, obstruction, or other causes; (3) comorbidity with other primary malignant tumors; (4) severe preoperative cardiopulmonary insufficiency or hepatic and renal insufficiency who cannot tolerate radical surgery; and (5) inconsistent main diagnosis information across the medical record system, pathological system, and gastric cancer-specific database. Patients were divided into three groups based on treatment methods: the surgery-only group, the perioperative chemotherapy group, and the adjuvant chemotherapy group. Endpoints included: (1) baseline patient characteristics; (2) trends in tumor location and pathological features; (3) evolution of treatment modalities; and (4) survival outcomes.Results:A total of 15,644 patients were included in the analysis, with 12,591 males and 3,053 females, the male-to-female gender ration was approximately 4∶1; the mean age was (61.2±9.5) years. The tumor sites were mainly concentrated in the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) (57.4%), followed by the antrum (25.9%). The incidence of EGJ cancer initially rose and then declined. However, gastric antrum tumors remained stable, and gastric body tumors showed a slow upward trend after 2020, accounting for 16.7%. In terms of pathological types, poorly differentiated carcinoma was the most prevalent, accounting for 55.9%, followed by moderately differentiated carcinoma (24.2%), mucinous adenocarcinoma (or signet ring cell carcinoma,14.1%), neuroendocrine carcinoma (4.8%), and well-differentiated carcinoma (0.9%). The proportion of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma showed a significant upward trend overall as well, peaking at 65.6% in 2022 and decreasing to 57.5% in 2023. Mucinous adenocarcinoma (or signet ring cell carcinoma) exhibited fluctuations with a first increase followed by a decrease: it peaked at 17.3% in 2018, dropped sharply to 8.4% in 2022, and rose back to 13.8% in 2023. The proportions of well-differentiated adenocarcinoma, moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma, and neuroendocrine tumors remained stable year by year. In terms of pathological staging, the overall proportions of gastric cancer at Stage 0, Stage I, Stage II, Stage III, and Stage IVa were 0.5%, 17.3%, 25.1%, 54.9%, and 2.3%, respectively. For Stage III, its proportion was 74.6% in 2013, which decreased to 46.4% by 2023. Stages I and II gastric cancer showed an upward trend, with their proportions rising from 10.2% and 12.1% in 2013 to nearly 21.0% and 29.6% in 2023, respectively. Between 2013 and 2023, the proportion of patients who received surgery alone continued to decrease, with this proportion dropping to 34.7% in 2023. In contrast, the number of patients who received adjuvant chemotherapy increased year by year, reaching 54.2% in 2023. Since 2017, the application of perioperative chemotherapy has gradually increased, rising to 11.1% in 2023. Immunotherapy showed an almost synchronous growth trend with perioperative chemotherapy. However, targeted therapy exhibited a downward trend after a period of growth. There were 10,704 cases of open surgery (68.4%), 4,744 cases of laparoscopic surgery (30.3%), and 193 cases of transthoracic surgery (1.2%). Pathological margin positivity was observed in 443 cases (2.8%), and the volume of gastric cancer surgeries gradually increased, peaked in 2021 before subsequently decreasing gradually. However, the volume of laparoscopic surgeries did not decrease; instead, it showed an upward trend. The main resection method for EGJ tumors was total gastrectomy, accounting for 78.5% of the total, followed by proximal gastrectomy, which accounted for 21.5%. After total gastrectomy, esophagojejunal Roux-en-Y anastomosis was the primary anastomotic method, and for proximal gastrectomy, the main anastomotic method was esophagogastric anastomosis, which accounted for 68.0% of the total. For distal gastrectomy, Billroth II anastomosis was the most common anastomotic technique, accounting for 92.7% of these procedures. The overall incidence of postoperative complications was 14.5% (2,264/15,644), among which the incidence of severe complications (grades III-IV) was 4.5% (706/15,644). The entire cohort was followed up with for (47.1±36.8) months, and the 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year overall survival rates were 86.4%, 65.9%, and 58.1%, respectively. For patients with stage 0, I, II, III, and IV gastric adenocarcinoma, the 1-year overall survival rates were 95.7%, 98.0%, 89.4%, 81.0%, and 49.1%, respectively; the 3-year overall survival rates were 92.1%, 94.6%, 81.9%, 51.4%, and 14.7%, respectively; and the 5-year overall survival rates were 89.4%, 91.7%, 75.1%, 41.5%, and 10.0%, respectively. For patients with stage I, II, III, and IV gastric neuroendocrine carcinoma, the 1-year overall survival rates were 96.7%, 91.1%, 73.8%, and 52.6%, respectively; the 3-year overall survival rates were 87.2%, 69.6%, 46.1%, and 32.1%, respectively; and the 5-year overall survival rates were 87.2%, 62.2%, 36.7%, and 32.1%, respectively.Conclusions:Gastric cancer in Shanxi Province is characterized by a male predominance, a high prevalence of tumors at the esophagogastric junction, a large proportion of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, and presentation at advanced stages (predominantly Stage III). The detection rate of early gastric cancer has been increasing year by year, the volume of laparoscopic surgeries has been on the rise annually, and the treatment model has shifted from single surgery to comprehensive treatment.
