ObjectiveTo investigate the association of alpha-fetoprotein （AFP） and prealbumin （PAB） with the 90-day prognosis of patients with hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure （HBV-ACLF）， as well as the difference in 90-day prognosis between the patients with different levels of AFP and PAB. MethodsA total of 371 HBV-ACLF patients who were hospitalized in The General Hospital of Western Theater Command from January 2018 to January 2023 were enrolled， and according to the follow-up results on day 90 after discharge， they were divided into survival group with 216 patients and death group with 155 patients. The medical record system was used to collect general data， AFP， PAB， and other related laboratory markers. The t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups； a one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups， and the least significant difference t-test was used for comparison between two groups. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups， and the Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison between multiple groups and further comparison between two groups. The chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. The multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the influencing factors for the prognosis of HBV-ACLF patients. The receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve was plotted for AFP and PAB to determine their cut-off values. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot survival curves， and the Log-rank test was used for comparison. ResultsCompared with the death group， the survival group had significantly higher levels of hemoglobin （Hb）， PAB， AFP， and platelet count （PLT） （all P<0.05） and significantly lower age， total bilirubin （TBil）， white blood cell count （WBC）， cystatin， creatinine， urea， international normalized ratio （INR）， Model for End-Stage Liver Disease （MELD） score， proportion of patients with Child-Pugh class C， and incidence rates of ascites and hepatic encephalopathy （all P<0.05）. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that PAB （odds ratio ［OR］=0.985， 95% confidence interval ［CI］： 0.972‍ ‍—‍ ‍0.998， P=0.024）， AFP （OR=0.998， 95%CI： 0.996‍ ‍—‍ ‍1.000， P=0.028）， PLT （OR=0.989， 95%CI： 0.982‍ ‍—‍ ‍0.996， P=0.003）， age （OR=1.046， 95%CI： 1.018‍ ‍—‍ ‍1.075， P=0.001）， TBil （OR=1.004， 95%CI： 1.002‍ ‍—‍ ‍1.006， P<0.001）， and WBC （OR=1.237， 95%CI： 1.110‍ ‍—‍ ‍1.379， P<0.001） were independent influencing factors for 90-day prognosis in HBV-ACLF patients. According to the cut-off values of AFP and PAB on ROC curves， the patients were divided into group A with 102 patients （AFP≥73.19 ng/mL and PAB≥22.55 mg/L）， group B with 170 patients （AFP≥73.19 ng/mL and PAB<22.55 mg/L； AFP<73.19 ng/mL and PAB≥22.55 mg/L）， and group C with 99 patients （AFP<73.19 ng/mL and PAB<22.55 mg/L）. There were significant differences between these three groups in age， Hb， INR， MELD score， and Child-Pugh class （all P<0.05）. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that group A had a significantly higher 90-day cumulative survival rate than groups B and C （χ²=19.825， P<0.001）. ConclusionAFP combined with PAB can better predict the 90-day prognosis of HBV-ACLF patients， and patients with high levels of AFP and PAB tend to have a lower mortality rate on day 90.

Hyperemesis gravidarum(HG)refers to persistent and severe nausea and vomiting during early pregnancy.Severe HG may lead to maternal dehydration,electrolyte imbalances,malnutrition,and even hypotension and arrhythmias,potentially affecting fetal growth and development.Due to the unique physiological state of pregnancy,treatment options for HG are limited.Metoclopramide,has become a commonly used drug in treating HG due to its prove efficacy and safety.Previous studies have primarily focused on the extrapyramidal side effects of metoclopramide,but research on its psychiatric adverse effects,such as mania and somnolence,remains limited,particularly in pregnant patients.This paper reports a case of psychiatric abnormalities in an HG patient following metoclopramide administration.By analyzing the patient's condition,medication use,and adverse reactions,this study explores the potential mechanisms underlying metoclopramide-induced psychiatric abnormalities and provides clinical recommendations for preventing and managing such psychiatric adverse effects during pregnancy.These findings offer valuable guidance for healthcare professionals regarding the appropriate use of this medication.

Objective To explore the potential categories of exercise perception in elderly hip arthroplasty(HA)patients,analyze the prediction factors of different categories,and provide references for clinical nursing.Methods A convenience sampling method was used to select elderly HA patients treated in 6 orthopedic wards of 2 tertiary A hospitals in Guilin from October 2024 to February 2025.The general data questionnaire,Exercise Benefits and Barriers Perception Scale for Hip/Knee Throplasty Patients,Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia,the 5-Factor Modified Frailty Index,and Self-Efficacy for Rehabilitation Outcome Scale were used for investigation.Latent profile analysis was used to identify the potential categories of exercise perception of elderly HA patients,and decision tree model was used to explore the core predictive factors of different profile.Results 222 valid questionnaires were collected,with an effective response rate of 96.52％.A total of 222 elderly HA patients were divided into 3 profiles:high benefit-low barrier group(19.82％),low benefit-high barrier group(22.07％),and mild barrier group(58.11％).Frailty,kinesophobia,rehabilitation self-efficacy,residence,educational level and daily exercise were significant predictors of latent profiles(P＜0.05),and the frailty was located in the root node of the decision tree model.Conclusion The level of exercise perception in elderly HA patients needs to be improved,and shows population heterogeneity.Medical staff should prioritize interventions for low benefit-high barrier and mild-barrier groups,implementing targeted strategies based on profile characteristics and predictive factors to improve their exercise perception.

OBJECTIVE To carry out regular monitoring of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP)contamination status in the environment of intensive care unit(ICU)and take targeted prevention and control measures so as to reduce the incidence of hospital-associated infections with multidrug-resistant organisms(MDROs).METHODS The surfaces of surroundings of the patients who were colonized and infected with CRKP in the ICU of grade A tertiary hospital of Shanghai and the hands of relevant staff were sampled by stages from Jan 1,2021 to Jun 30,2024.The distribution of the CRKP strains in the surroundings were analyzed according to the locations positive for CRKP,and the disinfection measures were accordingly and continuously modified.The trend of isolation rate of CRKP strains from the ICU patients was analyzed during the time period when the measures were implemented.RESULTS Totally 266 environmental samples were collected during the baseline period(from Jan.1 2021 to Dec.31 2021),265 during intervention period(from Jan.1 2022 to Dec.31 2023),274 during con-solidation period(from Jan.1 to Jun.30 2024);the isolation rates of the CRKP strains were 4.51％,4.91％and 3.65％,respectively.The isolation rate of the strains was highest from the bed unit(10.40％),followed by the article for public use(6.74％),articles used by health care workers(2.98％)and diagnosis and treatment arti-cles(1.91％).The isolation rate of CRKP of the patients was 24.75％during the baseline period,15.48％during the intervention period,5.69％during the consolidation period,showing a continuously downward trend(x2=30.330,P＜0.001).CONCLUSION It is necessary to regularly carry out the environmental monitoring of CRKP strains,seek for the weak links of environmental disinfection and implement the intensified prevention and control measures so as to reduce the incidence of CRKP infection,which may provide theoretical bases for effective control of the CRKP strains.

Objective To investigate the correlation between immune cells and the occurrence of cardiovascular disease(CVD)in patients with human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome(HIV/AIDS),and to construct a risk prediction model.Methods A total of 280 HIV/AIDS patients treated from June 2024 to August 2025 were selected as the research subjects and divided into a training set(n=200)and a test set(n=80)at a ratio of 5:2.The patients in the training set were subdivided into a CVD subgroup(n=60)and a non-CVD subgroup(n=140)according to whether they developed CVD.The baseline characteristics and immune cells of the two groups were compared,and the longitudinal trajectory changes of immune cells in the CVD subgroup and the non-CVD subgroup were analyzed.LASSO regression analysis was used to screen the independent influencing factors of CVD,multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to screen the independent risk factors for the occurrence of CVD,and a risk prediction nomogram model was constructed.The area under the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve(AUC),Hosmer-Lem show test,calibration curve,and decision curve were used to compare the risk prediction nomogram model with the general cardiovascular risk assessment model,to evaluate its discrimination,goodness-of-fit,and clinical utility.Results There were significant differences in the baseline characteristics and immune cells between the two groups(P<0.05).The longitudinal trajectory plots revealed that the CD4+count,CD8+count,and CD4+/CD8+level in the CVD group exhibited substantial fluctuations,while the trajectories of these parameters in the non-CVD group remained relatively stable.After LASSO regression analysis screened out 11 non-zero coefficient variables,multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age,hypertension,total cholesterol,smoking,high-sensitivity C-reactive protein,CD4+count at the time of HIV diagnosis,CD8+count at the time of HIV diagnosis,and globulin were all independent influencing factors for the occurrence of CVD in HIV/AIDS patients(P<0.05).The AUC of the risk prediction nomogram model was 0.960 in the training set and 0.914 in the test set,indicating good discrimination of the model.The Hosmer-Lem show test and calibration curve showed good accuracy and consistency of the model,and the decision curve showed a high net benefit value,indicating good clinical utility.Conclusion The CVD risk in HIV/AIDS patients is jointly affected by immune dysfunction and traditional metabolic factors.The risk prediction nomogram model constructed significantly improves the accuracy of risk prediction of CVD and can provide a basis for early identification of high-risk patients and the formulation of individualized intervention strategies.

The patient was hospitalized for treatment due to ovarian cancer 22 months post-surgery and recurrence for 3 months.During chemotherapy,carboplatin was administered intravenously following pretreatment with dexamethasone and diphenhydramine to mitigate potential adverse reactions.Thirteen minutes after the administration of carboplatin,the patient developed an acute allergic reaction manifesting as chest tightness and skin itching,followed by a significant increase in heart rate and blood pressure,a decrease in blood oxygen saturation,laryngeal edema,and respiratory distress.In response to this emergency,the administration of carboplatin was immediately halted,fluid was extracted from the PICC line,and epinephrine,dexamethasone,and diphenhydramine were given for treatment.Additional supportive measures included oxygen therapy and fluid resuscitation.Following these interventions,the patient's condition stabilized,with blood oxygen saturation,heart rate and blood pressure returning to normal levels.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) for biopsy-negative esophageal strictures suspected for malignancy.Methods:Patients who underwent EUS-FNA for esophageal strictures with negative endoscopic biopsies in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from January 2014 to March 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. The final diagnosis was based on the pathological outcomes of EUS-FNA or surgery, complemented by follow-up data. Diagnostic efficacy and complication rates of EUS-FNA were analyzed.Results:A total of 64 patients were included in this study,with 54 ultimately diagnosed with malignant lesions and 10 with benign lesions. Malignant lesions were diagnosed by EUS-FNA in 50 cases, suspected malignant lesions in 3 cases, and no clear basis for malignancy was observed in 11 cases. The diagnostic accuracy of EUS-FNA was 98.4% (63/64), with the malignant tumor detection rate of 98.1% (53/54). No post-procedure complications such as bleeding, perforation, or infection were observed in any patient.Conclusion:EUS-FNA is safe and effective for the diagnosis of biopsy-negative suspected malignant esophageal stricture with a high malignant lesion detection rate.

Objective To analyze the expression levels of serum GINS complex 4(GINS4)and PD-1 in patients with gastric cancer before surgery and to explore the relationship between these two factors and the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of these patients.Methods A total of 95 patients with gastric cancer treated at the First People's Hospital of Nanyang between August 2016 and August 2018 were included in this study.The patients were followed-up for 5 years and divided into survival and death groups based on their survival at the end of the follow-up.A total of 95 healthy individuals in the same period were selected as the control group.The serum PD-1 levels before surgery were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The level of serum GINS4 mRNA before surgery was detected with real-time quantitative PCR.The relationship between serum GINS4 mRNA and PD-1 levels prior to surgery and the 5-year survival rate in the patients with gastric cancer were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method.Cox regression was used to analyze the factors affecting gastric cancer prognosis.Results The serum levels of GINS4 mRNA and PD-1 were significantly higher in the patients with gastric cancer than in the healty controls(P＜0.05).The serum levels of GINS4 mRNA and PD-1 in patients with poorly differentiated tissues in TNM stages Ⅲ and Ⅳ,and lymph node metastasis were significantly higher than those in patients with moderately/highly differentiated tissues,in TNM stage Ⅱ,and no lymph node metastasis(P＜0.05).The serum levels of GINS4 mRNA and PD-1,proportio of patients with TNM stages Ⅲ and Ⅳ,and the proportion of patients with lymph node metastasis in the death group were significantly higher than those in the survival group(P＜0.05).According to the results of Kaplan-Meier analysis,the 5-year survival rate of patients with gastric cancer with high serum expression levels of GINS4 mRNA and PD-1 was lower than that of patients with low expression levels of GINS4 mRNA and PD-1(P＜0.05).GINS4 mRNA and PD-1 levels were independent risk factors for death in patients with gastric cancer(P＜0.05).Conclusion The expression levels of serum GINS4 mRNA and PD-1 in patients with gastric cancer were higher than those of the controls,which were related to tissue differentiation,TNM staging,lymph node metastasis,and prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the drug resistance of newly diagnosed HIV-1 infected patients in Shanghai and to provide reference value for clinical antiretroviral therapy (ART).Methods:The peripheral venous blood plasma of 196 newly diagnosed HIV-1 infected patients screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria at the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center from April to June 2023 was collected, HIV-1 RNA was extracted, the pol region was amplified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for sequencing, the mutation sites and ART drug resistance were analyzed.Results:The plasma of 196 newly diagnosed HIV-1 infected patients was amplified successfully in 162 cases (amplification success rate was 82.65%). The subtypes consisted of CRF07_BC(51.23%), CRF01_AE (27.78%), and others (6.79%), CRF55_01B (5.56%), B (3.70%), CRF01_AE/B (3.70%) and CRF08_BC (1.23%). The overall transmitted drug resistance rate was 7.41%, the protease inhibitors (PIs), non-nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), integrase inhibitors (INSTIs) resistance rates were 3.09%, 3.70%, 0.00% and 0.62%, respectively. The proportion of NNRTIs-related mutation sites in B (66.67%) and CRF55_01B (88.89%) was higher than that in CRF07_BC (13.25%); the proportion of NNRTIs-related mutation sites in CRF55_01B (88.89%) was higher than that in CRF01_AE (22.22%) and other subtypes (18.18%), the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the probability of PIs-related mutation sites in CRF01_AE/B was 21.71 times that of CRF07_BC[odds ratio ( OR)=21.71, 95% confidence interval ( CI): 3.36-140.27, P=0.001]. Conclusions:The transmitted drug resistance among newly diagnosed HIV-1 infected patients in Shanghai is at the moderate epidemic level, mainly NNRTIs and PIs-related drug resistance, and the INSTIs resistance rate is low, the use of INSTIs in ART regimens should be considered.
