ObjectiveTo investigate the value of noninvasive imaging detection (FibroScan), two serological models of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase-to-platelet ratio (GPR) score and S index, and two inflammatory factors of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in predicting liver fibrosis in patients with HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B (CHB), as well as the consistency of liver biopsy in pathological staging, and to provide early warning for early intervention of CHB. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for 131 HBeAg-positive CHB patients who underwent liver biopsy in The Third People’s Hospital of Kunming from January 2019 to December 2023. The results of liver biopsy were collected from all patients, and related examinations were performed before liver biopsy, including total bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase, platelet count, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, albumin, IL-6, TNF-α, liver stiffness measurement (LSM), and abdominal ultrasound. An analysis of variance was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between groups, and the Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between groups; the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. A Kappa analysis was used to investigate the consistency between LSM noninvasive histological staging and pathological staging based on liver biopsy, and the Spearman analysis was used to investigate the correlation between each variable and FibroScan in the diagnosis of liver fibrosis stage. The Logistic regression analysis was used to construct joint predictive factors. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the value of each indicator alone and the joint predictive model in the diagnosis of liver fibrosis, and the Delong test was used for comparison of the area under the ROC curve (AUC). ResultsIn the consistency check, inflammation degree based on liver biopsy had a Kappa value of 0.807 (P<0.001), and liver fibrosis degree based on liver biopsy had a Kappa value of 0.827 (P<0.001), suggesting that FibroScan noninvasive histological staging and liver biopsy showed good consistency in assessing inflammation degree and liver fibrosis stage. Age was positively correlated with LSM, GPR score, S index, IL-6, and TNF-α (all P<0.05), and GPR score, S index, IL-6, and TNF-α were positively correlated with LSM (all P<0.05). GPR score, S index, IL-6, and TNF-α were all independent risk factors for diagnosing significant liver fibrosis (≥S2) and progressive liver fibrosis (≥S3) (all P<0.05). As for each indicator alone, GPR score had the highest value in the diagnosis of significant liver fibrosis (≥S2), followed by S index, IL-6, and TNF-α, while S index had the highest value in the diagnosis of progressive liver fibrosis (≥S3), followed by GPR score, TNF-α, and IL-6. The joint model had a higher predictive value than each indicator alone (all P<0.05). ConclusionThere is a good consistency between FibroScan noninvasive histological staging and pathological staging based on liver biopsy. GPR score, S index, IL-6, and TNF-α are independent risk factors for evaluating different degree of liver fibrosis in CHB, and the combined prediction model established by them can better diagnose liver fibrosis.

ObjectiveTo understand the infection characteristics and drug resistance of carbapenem-resistant Serratia marcescens (CRSM) in a general hospital in Shanghai, and to provide a theoretical basis for clinical anti-infective treatment and prevention of drug-resistant bacteria. MethodsClinical data on cases with CRSM infections detected in clinical specimens at a gradeⅢ level A general hospital in Shanghai from June 2022 to June 2024 were retrospectively collected, and their clinical distributions, factors of hospital-acquired infections, prognosis, and drug-resistant situation were analyzed simultaneously. ResultsA total of 38 cases with CRSM were detected from June 2022 to June 2024, and the number of CRSM strains accounted for 25.00% (38/152) of the number of SM strains. The 38 CRSM infection samples were all derived from sputum. CRSM were distributed in 9 clinical departments, and the top 3 departments having the highest percentages of CRSM among SM strains, were intensive care unit (ICU) (78.79%, 26/33), gastrointestinal surgery department (57.14%, 4/7), and thyroid hernia surgery department (50.00%, 1/2). Among the 38 patients with CRSM infections, 8 cases were identified as hospital-acquired infection, resulting in a hospital-acquired infection rate of 21.05. The mortality rate of the 38 cases of CRSM infected patients within 30 days after detection of CRSM was 23.68% (9/38). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score

Objective To examine the significance of susceptible gene detection for hereditary cancer syndrome (HCS) among general population. Methods A total of 2 928 individuals undergoing routine health examinations in Healthcare Center of Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, from September 2021 to April 2024 were enrolled retrospectively. Next generation sequencing was employed to identify susceptible genes for HCS. American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) guideline was used to analyze the pathogenicity of variants. Clinical data, imagings, follow-up data were also collected. Results The overall mutation rate of HCS panel was 3.59% (105/2 928), with 0.61% (18/2 928) for MutY DNA glycosylase (MUTYH), 0.27% (8/2 928) for breast cancer susceptibility gene 1/2 (BRCA1/2) and 0.23% (7/2 928) for mismatch repair (MMR) genes. Conclusions Healthy individuals carrying tumor susceptible genes usually lack the relevant clinical phenotypes. Whether comprehensive testing needs to be carried out among healthy people remains to be further explored.

Objective:To investigate the current status of the technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) levels of youth teachers in a military medical university, and to provide a practical basis for improving youth teachers' ability to teach with technologies.Methods:Youth teachers (with less than 3 years of teaching experience) in a military medical university were selected by convenience sampling for a survey on TPACK abilities using a modified TPACK questionnaire. The questionnaire was distributed through the internet, and 119 valid responses were returned. SPSS 20.0 software was used to perform the independent samples t-test and one-way analysis of variance.Results:The youth teachers scored highest in technological knowledge [TK; (3.68±0.74)] and lowest in TPACK (3.17±0.74). There were no significant differences in TPACK abilities between youth teachers in different majors. Youth teachers of different educational attainments showed significant differences in the levels of technological knowledge (TK; F=12.99, P<0.001), content knowledge (CK; F=13.64, P<0.001), technological pedagogical knowledge (TPK; F=4.38, P=0.015), technological content knowledge (TCK; F=3.83, P=0.025), and TPACK ( F=3.63, P=0.029)—the TK, CK, TPK, and TCK levels of teachers with doctoral degrees were significantly higher than those with bachelor's and master's degrees. Conclusions:Efforts should be made to design a TPACK ability development system throughout the growth cycle of youth teachers, build teaching practice communities, and improve the system guarantees.

Background::Although significant advances have been made in the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM), leading to unprecedented response and survival rates among patients, the majority eventually relapse, and a cure remains elusive. This situation is closely related to an incomplete understanding of the immune microenvironment, especially monocytes/macrophages in patients with treatment-na?ve MM. The aim of this study was to provide insight into the immune microenvironment, especially monocytes/macrophages, in patients with treatment-na?ve MM.Methods::This study used the single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data of both patients with MM and heathy donors to identify immune cells, including natural killer (NK) cells, T cells, dendritic cells (DCs), and monocytes/macrophages. Transcriptomic data and flow cytometry analysis of monocytes/macrophages were used to further examine the effect of monocytes/macrophages in treatment-na?ve MM patients.Results::A significant difference was observed between the bone marrow (BM) immune cells of the healthy controls and treatment-na?ve MM patients through scRNA-seq. It is noteworthy that, through an scRNA-seq data analysis, this study found that interferon (IFN)-induced NK/T cells, terminally differentiated effector memory (TEMRA) cells, T-helper cells characterized by expression of IFN-stimulated genes (ISG +Th cells), IFN-responding exhausted T cells, mannose receptor C-type 1 (MRC1) + DCs, IFN-responding DCs, MHCII + DCs, and immunosuppressive monocytes/macrophages were enriched in patients with treatment-na?ve MM. Significantly, transcriptomic data of monocytes/macrophages demonstrated that "don’t eat me" -related genes and IFN-induced genes increase in treatment-na?ve MM patients. Furthermore, scRNA-seq, transcriptomic data, and flow cytometry also showed an increased proportion of CD16 + monocytes/macrophages and expression level of CD16. Cell-cell communication analysis indicated that monocytes/macrophages, whose related important signaling pathways include migration inhibitory factor (MIF) and interleukin 16 (IL-16) signaling pathway, are key players in treatment-na?ve MM patients. Conclusions::Our findings provide a comprehensive and in-depth molecular characterization of BM immune cell census in MM patients, especially for monocytes/macrophages. Targeting macrophages may be a novel treatment strategy for patients with MM.

Objective:To analyze the correlation between MRI indicators and clinical features of multifidus degeneration in patients with unilateral lumbar disc hemiation. Method:Eighty-six eligible patients with unilateral lumbar disc hemiation admitted to our hospital from Janu-ary 2018 to December 2021 with complete clinical data were retrospectively analyzed and divided into three groups according to the level and number of lumbar disc hemiation:27 patients in group A were treated with L4/5 disc hemiation only,30 patients in group B were treated with L5/S1 disc hemiation only,and 29 pa-tients with multi-level lumbar disc hemiation in group C.All patients underwent lumbar MRI scans,and the measurements included the ratio of the total cross-sectional area of the unaffected and affected sides of the multifidus muscle at L4/5 and L5/S1 levels,the degree of bilateral multifidus muscle atrophy,and the propor-tion of fatty infiltration.The lumbar visual analogue scale(VAS),Oswestry disability index(ODI)and other clinical features of patients with lumbar disc herniation were obtained from the medical records,and Spearman correlation was used to analyze the correlation between the ratio of the total cross-sectional area of the unaffect-ed and affected sides of the multifidus muscle at L4/5 and L5/S1 levels and the proportion of fatty infiltration. Result:There was no significant difference in age,gender and body mass index(BMI)between the groups(P>0.05);the total cross-sectional area ratio of the unaffected and affected sides of the multifidus muscle in the three groups was positively correlated with the VAS score(P<0.05)and not correlated with the ODI score(P>0.05);the degree of bilateral multifidus muscle atrophy and the proportion of fatty infiltration were posi-tively correlated with the ODI score(P<0.05)and not correlated with the VAS score(P>0.05). Conclusion:In patients with unilateral lumbar disc herniation,the degree of asymmetry in the left and right cross-sectional areas of the multifidus muscle was associated with lumbar pain,whereas the degree of bilateral multifidus muscle atrophy and the proportion of fatty infiltration were associated with ODI scores.
