Objective : To develop and to validate a combined model integrating18F-FDG PET/CT radiomics with clinical features to distinguish between lymphoma and lymphoid inflammatory hyperplasia. Methods : A retrospective study was conducted on a cohort of 232 patients diagnosed with lymphoma or lymphoid inflammatory hyperplasia. Comparative analyses of clinical and traditional imaging indicators were performed to identify inter-group differences. The clinical features were delineated and extracted using medical software including 3D-Slicer and Lifex. Selection of the features was performed to construct a PET/CT-based radiomics Logistic model, with a combined model integrating PET/CT with clinical features then used to evaluate the discriminative efficacy of these models. Results: Analysis of inter-group differences indicated that age, CTmean, and metabolic tumor volume(MTV)were effective for differentiating between lymphoma and lymphoid inflammatory hyperplasia(P<0.05). The PET/CT-based radiomics Logistic model differentiated between lymphoma and lymphoid inflammatory hyperplasia, with an area under curve(AUC) of 0.924(95%CI: 0.884-0.960) and 0.863(95%CI: 0.774-0.939) in the training and testing cohorts, respectively. The integrated Logistic model that combined PET/CT-based radiomics with clinical features to distinguish between lymphoma and lymphoid inflammatory hyperplasia achieved an AUC of 0.933(95%CI: 0.889-0.969) in the training cohort and 0.884(95%CI: 0.792-0.964) in the testing cohort. Decision curve analysis(DCA) demonstrated that the integrated model provided the greatest clinical net benefit. Conclusion The hybrid model integrating18F-FDG PET/CT radiomics with clinical features shows robust diagnostic efficacy to distinguish between lymphoma and lymphoid inflammatory hyperplasia.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of microRNA-10b(miR-10b)on idiopathic short stature(ISS).Methods A total of 54 children with ISS and 54 healthy children were collected.The serum expression of miR-10b was detected by RT-qPCR,and the relationship between serum miR-10b expression and clinical data of children with ISS was analyzed.miR-10b inhibitor,si-TGFBR1 and their negative control transfection C28/I2 cells were used.CCK-8 experimental detection was used to detect C28/I2 cell proliferation.Western blot assay was used to detect gnome related transcription factor 2(RUNX2),collagen type X alpha 1 chain(COL10A1),transforming growth factor beta receptor 1(TGFBR1),SMAD3 and pSMAD3 protein expression.The target of miR-10b was screened in StarBase database,and the targeting relationship between miR-10b and TGFBR1 was verified by dual luciferase reporter gene assay.Results The serum expression of miR-10b was higher in the ISS group than that of the healthy control group,and the higher the miR-10b expression,the more obvious the decrease of child height,IGF-1 and alkaline phosphatase(P＜0.05).Compared with the NC group,the cell proliferation ability and RUNX2,COL10A1,TGFBR1,and pSMAD3 protein expression were up-regulated in the miR-10b inhibitor group(P＜0.05).StarBase database suggested that miR-10b had a binding site of TGFBR1,and dual luciferase reporter gene assay confirmed that TGFBR1 interacted with miR-10b(P＜0.05).Compared with the si-NC group,the expression of TGFBR1 was down-regulated and the cell proliferation ability was decreased in the si-TGFBR1 group(P＜0.05).Conclusion miR-10b inhibits chondrocyte proliferation and hypertrophy in idiopathic short stature by targeting TGFBR1/SMAD3 pathway.

Objective To evaluate the status of home medication safety among elderly patients with chronic diseases and analyze its influencing factors in urban and rural areas of Henan Province.Methods Convenient sampling method was adopted.Data was collected through a designed and optimized questionnaire.Pharmacists conducted in-home surveys.Excel and SPSS 26.0 software were used for data analysis.Results A total of 352 valid questionnaires were analyzed.Most respondents were aged 60～70 years,with a female proportion of 56.2%,and 52.0%of them had a junior high school education or lower.The top-ranked chronic diseases were hypertension(62.2%)and hyperlipidemia(33.2%),and 61.1%of patients suffered from multiple chronic diseases.Antipyretic and analgesic drugs were most common in home medicine cabinets(90.1%).The proportion of drugs being stored in accordance with the instructions(46.9%)was slightly low,and 93.8%of the elderly handled expired drugs improperly.Awareness of medication guidance services was low(34.9%).Logistic regression analysis showed that factors such as education level and monthly income had significant effects on the understanding of drug package insert,rational drug storage,proper disposal of expired drugs,and awareness of medication guidance services(P<0.05).Conclusion There are still some potential safety risks in the home medication use of elderly patients with chronic diseases in urban and rural areas of Henan Province.It is necessary to enhance education on drug storage and medication guidance,particularly for low-income and less-educated groups,to improve the safety of home medication use.

factors,quality of life,and urethral stricture.Methods A total of 120 patients with BPH and T2DM who were treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University from March 2021 to August 2022 were selected as the research subjects.The patients were divided into a control group and an observation group according to the surgical approach,with 60 cases in each group.Patients in the control group underwent green laser selective photovaporization,while patients in the observation group were treated with green laser anatomical vaporization.The intraoperative and postoperative recovery indicators such as operation time,intraoperative blood loss,prostate resection quality,catheter indwelling time,bladder irrigation time,and hospitalization time of patients between the two groups were compared.The serum levels of interleukin-6(IL-6)and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)were detected by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,and the serum levels of malondialdehyde(MDA)and lipid peroxide(LPO)were detected by using immunofluorescence assay before surgery,3 days after surgery,and 7 days after surgery.The international prostate symptom score(IPSS)was used to assess prostate symptoms,the urinary symptom distress score(USDS)was used to assess urinary symptoms,the dynamic urodynamic monitor was used to measure urodynamics[maximum flow rate(Qmax),residual urine volume(RUV)],the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the serum level of total prostate specific antigen(tPSA),the international index of erectile function-5(IIEF-5)was used to assess erectile function,and the BPH quality of life(BPH-QOL)scale was used to assess quality of life before surgery,3 months after surgery,and 6 months after surgery.The incidence of complications such as urethral stricture,urinary tract irritation,bladder neck contracture,urinary retention,and secondary bleeding was compared between the two groups.Results The operation time of patients in the observation group was significantly longer than that in the control group,the intraoperative blood loss was significantly less than that in the control group,and the bladder irrigation time,catheter indwelling time,and hospitalization time were significantly shorter than those in the control group(P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the quality of prostatectomy between the two groups of patients(P＞0.05).Before surgery,there was no statistically significant difference in the levels of serum TNF-α,IL-6,MDA,and LPO between the two groups of patients(P＞0.05).On postoperative days 3 and 7,the levels of serum TNF-α,IL-6,MDA,and LPO in both groups were significantly higher than those before surgery,and the levels of serum TNF-α,IL-6,MDA,and LPO in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).Before surgery,there was no statistically significant difference in the IPSS and USDS scores between the two groups of patients(P＞0.05).At 3 and 6 months after surgery,the IPSS and USDS scores of patients in both groups were significantly lower than those before surgery,and the IPSS and USDS scores of patients in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).Before surgery,there was no statistically significant difference in RUV,Qmax,and serum tPSA levels between the two groups of patients(P＞0.05).At 3 and 6 months after surgery,the RUV and serum tPSA levels of patients in both groups were significantly lower than those before surgery,while the Qmax was signifi-cantly higher than that before surgery(P＜0.05).The RUV and serum tPSA levels of patients in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group,while the Qmax was significantly higher than that in the control group(P＜0.05).Before surgery,there was no statistically significant difference in the IIEF-5 and BPH-QOL scores of patients between the two groups(P＞0.05).At 3 and 6 months after surgery,the IIEF-5 scores of patients in both groups were significantly lower than those before surgery,while the BPH-QOL scores were significantly higher than those before surgery(P＜0.05).The IIEF-5 and BPH-QOL scores of patients in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05).The total incidence of complications in the control group and the observation group was 16.67％(10/60)and 5.00％(3/60),respectively,and the total incidence of complications in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group(x2=4.227,P＜0.05).Conclusion Green laser anatomical vaporization in the treatment of BPH patients with T2DM can optimize the surgical process,reduce inflammatory stress and the risk of complications,promote early postoperative recovery,improve urodynamics and sexual function,relieve symptoms,and enhance quality of life.

Objective To explore the changes in cerebral blood flow caused by mandibular retrusion,as well as the impact and potential mechanisms on stroke recovery.Methods 6-week-old SD male rats were selected as experi-mental subjects.The metal cannula was bonded to the rat maxillary incisor for one week,forcing mandibular retru-sion(MR).Cerebral blood flow was detected by laser speckle imaging.Cognitive function was detected by the Morris water.Then,the stroke model was constructed in MR rats by using the middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO)method for one week.Meanwhile,metal cannulae were then removed in rats to restore the lower jaw's position(MCAO RO),serving as a positive control group.Consequently,rats were randomly divided into the fol-lowing groups:Sham groups,MCAO groups,MCAO MR groups,and MCAO RO groups.Neurological recovery was assessed through the modified neurological severity score(mNSS).The area of cerebral infarction was evalua-ted by using triphenyltetrazolium(TTC)staining.The changes in nerve cells were observed by using hematoxylin eosin(HE)staining.The protein expression level of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)was detected by immunohistochemistry.The protein expression levels of platelet-endothelial cell adhesion molecule(CD31),sirtuin 6(SIRT6),and thioredoxin interaction protein(TXNIP)were detected by Western blot.The mRNA expression levels of SIRT6,TXNIP,and VEGF were determined by qRT-PCR.Microglia activation marker molecule 1(IBA-1)was detected by immunofluorescence.Resluts Because of mandibular retrusion,laser speckle showed de-creased cerebral blood flow,and the water maze showed decreased cognitive function.Compared to other groups,MCAO MR showed a larger ischemic area in TTC staining,while HE staining and neurological scoring showed poo-rer neurological function recovery.Western blot and qRT-PCR showed that the MCAO MR group inhibited the mR-NA and protein expression levels of SIRT6,upregulated the mRNA and protein expression levels of TXNIP,and in-creased the activation of microglia.Conclusion Mandibular retrusion reduces cerebral blood flow and alters cogni-tive function in rats.Mandibular retrusion inhibits recovery in stroke through the SIRT6/TXNIP axis.

【Objective】 To explore the risk factors of severe postoperative hemorrhage in patients with staghorn renal calculi treated with mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (M-PCNL), and to construct a Bayesian network model to predict postoperative hemorrhage. 【Methods】 A retrospective analysis was conducted on 160 patients with staghorn renal calculi who were treated with M-PCNL by surgeons with equivalent qualifications at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical College during Jan. 2020 and Jan. 2022.A computer-generated random number method was used to divide them into a modeling group (120 cases) and a validation group (40 cases).Patients in the modeling group were divided into severe bleeding group (38 cases) and non-severe bleeding group (82 cases).The general information of the two groups was compared, and the independent risk factors of severe postoperative hemorrhage were analyzed.A Bayesian network model was constructed using R software, the inference prediction was conducted using Netica software, and the performance of the model was evaluated with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. 【Results】 Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that renal insufficiency (OR: 2.845, 95%CI: 1.563-6.515), mixmum diameter of stones ≥2 cm (OR: 2.063, 95%CI: 1.824-4.555), operation time ≥90 minutes (OR: 3.632, 95%CI: 2.365-7.11), one-stage operation (OR: 2.321, 95%CI: 1.874-6.332), and multi-channel stone removal (OR: 1.842, 95%CI: 1.366-3.687) were independent risk factors of postoperative severe hemorrhage (P<0.05).Based on the above parameters, a Bayesian network model was established, which was then evaluated with the modeling and validation groups internally and externally.The AUC of the modeling group was 0.879 (95%CI: 0.804-0.931, P<0.001), with sensitivity and specificity being 87.68% and 89.63%, respectively.The AUC of the validation group was 0.875(95%CI: 0.818-0.908, P<0.001), with sensitivity and specificity being 87.55% and 89.40%, respectively.The model showed good discrimination. 【Conclusion】 Renal dysfunction, mixmum diameter of stones ≥2 cm, operation time ≥90 minutes, one-stage operation, and multi-channel stone removal are risk factors of severe hemorrhage in patients after M-PCNL.The prediction model has good predictive ability and can effectively describe the complex mechanism between diseases and risk factors.

ObjectiveTo conduct comprehensive assessment of internal and external cadmium exposure and health risks for Shanghai residents. MethodsCadmium levels in food samples were calculated by employing two dietary exposure assessment methods， total diet study （TDS） and food frequency questionnaire （FFQ）， to estimate the daily dietary cadmium exposure of Shanghai residents. The provisional tolerable monthly intake （PTMI） of cadmium set by joint food and agriculture organization/WHO expert committee on food additives （JECFA） was applied to evaluate the health risk. Differences in dietary and urinary cadmium were compared by rank-sum test among different regions， age， gender， smoking status， and BMI groups， and the association between internal and external cadmium exposure was investigated by correlation analysis. ResultsThe mean value of urinary cadmium for 1 300 respondents was 0.542 μg·L^-1. Urinary cadmium was higher in the population in central urban and urban-rural fringe areas than in the suburban area， higher in the older age group than in the younger age group， and higher in the smoking group than in the non-smoking group （all P<0.01）. The two assessment methods showed that the mean values of daily dietary cadmium exposure for Shanghai residents were 0.306 and 0.090 μg·kg^-1， with 3.69% and 0.85% of Shanghai residents exceeding the PTMI， respectively. Correlation analyses showed that dietary exposure to cadmium based on the FFQ method was positively correlated with the urinary cadmium level when smoking status， age， gender， and BMI were adjusted. ConclusionDietary exposure to cadmium of Shanghai residents is mainly derived from vegetables， aquatic products， cereals and potatoes， and is overall at a low-risk level. Dietary exposure assessment based on FFQ and risk monitoring data can effectively estimate long-term cadmium exposure.

Background Chloropropanol esters (MCPDE) have attracted much attention in recent years as a kind of new contaminant found in various refined oils. The pollution of 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol esters (3-MCPDE) is the most prominent. 3-MCPDE is hydrolyzed in organisms to 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol which has been shown to have reproductive toxicity, nephrotoxicity, and potential carcinogenicity. Infant formula powders can be polluted by 3-MCPDE when refined edible oils are added during production. Objective To assess the risk of exposure to 3-MCPDE related to the consumption of infant formula powders for children aged 0-3 years in Shanghai market using the food consumption data and the data of 3-MCPDE contamination in these foods. Methods Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to determine 3-MCPDE in 133 samples of infant formula powders in Shanghai. Using a multistage stratified random sampling method, a total of 807 infants and toddlers aged 0-3 years were randomly selected from each district/rural/town in Shanghai, including 208 children aged 0-6 months, 276 children aged 6-12 months, and 323 children aged 12-36 months. The food consumption data was investigated using food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) distributed by combining telephone inquiries and face-to-face interviews among guardians. Population's probability distributions of 3-MCPDE exposure were assessed by @Risk 7.5 software and Monte Carlo simulation algorithm. According to the dietary intake assessment model and the tolerable daily intake (TDI) of 3-MCPDE of 2.00 μg·(kg·d)⁻¹ proposed by the European Food Safety Authority (ESFA), a risk assessment of exposure to 3-MCPDE was conducted for infants and toddlers aged 0 to 3 years old in Shanghai who consumed 3-MCPDE via infant formula powders. Results The average concentration of 3-MCPDE in 133 samples of infant formula powders was 0.115 mg·kg⁻¹ with a positive rate of 100.00%. Among different types of formula powders, infant formula powders for infants of 0-6 months had the highest concentrations of 3-MCPDE and fat [0.136 mg·kg⁻¹ and 25.2 g (per 100 g sample) in average respectively]. There was a positive correlation between fat concentration and 3-MCPDE concentration in the samples (r=0.438, P<0.05). The average consumption of infant formula powders of 807 infants aged 0-3 years was 88.3 g·d⁻¹. Among all investigated age groups, the average consumption of infant formula powders by infants aged 0-6, 6-12, and 12-36 months was 87.7, 98.3, and 80.1 g·d⁻¹ respectively. The dietary exposure to 3-MCPDE from infant formula powders of infants aged 0-3 years averaged 0.83 μg·(kg·d)⁻¹ for general intake level or valued 1.44 μg·(kg·d)⁻¹ using the 95 percentile for high intake level. Exposure decreased with increasing age and was highest in infants 0-6 months of age, whose general and high intake levels were 1.41 and 2.34 μg·(kg·d)⁻¹, respectively. The risk population defined with the exposure higher than the TDI proposed by EFSA were proportioned to be 13.90% and 0.50% in infants aged 0-6 months and 6-12 months respectively, indicating a risk that cannot be ignored, and no risk in infants aged 12-36 months. Conclusion Among the investigated infants aged 0-3 years in Shanghai, those aged 0-6 months are at a high risk of exposure to 3-MCPDE. In view of the sensitivity of infants to pollutant exposure, the risk of exposure to 3-MCPDE should be highly concerned.

ObjectiveTo construct an evaluation index system for the development of district-level disease prevention and control centers according to the requirements of the modernization of Shanghai’s disease control system and public health work practices， and to comprehensively assess the construction and development of district-level disease prevention and control institutions. MethodsAccording to the national and municipal requirements for the development of disease prevention and control institutions， an index framework was proposed through literature search and expert interviews. 39 representative experts in the field of public health at the national， provincial， and municipal （district） levels were selected to participate in the consultation and construction of the index system. The authority coefficient， the coefficient of variation， etc. were used to carry out quality control and determination of each index on the Delphi method. ResultsThe questionnaire response rate was 100%， the expert authority coefficient was 0.86，the degree of familiarity was 0.79， and the judgment basis was 0.92. The coefficients of variation of the necessary indicators in the index system were all <0.25 in the dimension of importance， and there were statistical differences in the statistical test of Kendall’s W coordination coefficients at all levels and dimensions （all P<0.001）. After multiple rounds of consultation， experts reached a consensus， forming a development evaluation index system of district-level CDCs with 6 first-level indicators， 24 second-level indicators， and 105 third-level indicators （including 63 necessary indicators and 42 recommended indicators）. ConclusionThe evaluation index system of Shanghai district-level CDCs based on the Delphi method has good authority， reliability， sensitivity and operability. This indicator system can effectively support the development of Shanghai district-level CDCs， and can be used for evaluation at multiple levels and in an all-round way in the future. The evaluation results can provide an evidence-based basis for the modernization of the disease prevention and control system and the continuous and dynamic updating of the development goals in the future.

Objective:To analyze the difference of clinical characteristics and outcomes of infants with moderate and severe pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome(PARDS)diagnosed according to baseline oxygenation index(OI) in pediatric intensive care unit(PICU).Methods:Second analysis of the data collected from the "Efficacy of pulmonary surfactant (PS) in the treatment of children with moderate and severe ARDS" program.Retrospectively compare of the differences in clinical data such as general condition, underlying diseases, OI, mechanical ventilation, PS administration and outcomes among infants with moderate and severe PARDS divided by baseline OI who admitted to PICUs at 14 participating tertiary hospitals from 2016 to December 2021.Results:Among the 101 cases, 55 cases (54.5%) were moderate and 46 cases (45.5%) were severe PARDS.The proportion of male in the severe group (50.0% vs.72.7%, P=0.019) and the pediatric critical illness score(PCIS)[72 (68, 78) vs.76 (70, 80), P=0.019] were significantly lower than those in the moderate group, while there was no significant difference regarding age, body weight, etiology of PARDS and underlying diseases.The utilization rate of high-frequency ventilator in the severe group was significantly higher than that in the moderate group (34.8% vs.10.9%, P=0.004), but there was no significant difference in PS use, fluid load and pulmonary complications.The 24 h OI improvement (0.26±0.33 vs.0.04±0.34, P=0.001) and the 72 h OI improvement[0.34 (-0.04, 0.62) vs.0.15 (-0.14, 0.42), P=0.029)]in the severe group were significantly better than those in the moderate group, but there was no significant difference regarding mortality, length of hospital stay and intubation duration after diagnosis of PARDS between the two groups. Conclusion:In moderate and severe(divided by baseline OI) PARDS infants with invasive mechanical ventilation, children in severe group have better oxygenation improvement in the early stage after PARDS identified and are more likely to receive high frequency ventilation compared to those in moderate group.Baseline OI can not sensitively distinguish the outcomes and is not an ideal index for PARDS grading of this kind of patient.
