Objective: To develop a prediction model for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) risk among the elderly, so as to provide a tool for MCI early screening. Methods : From July 2022 to September 2024, a multi-stage stratified random cluster sampling method was used to recruit permanent residents aged ≥65 years from the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region as study participants. Data on sociodemographic characteristics, nutritional status, body composition indices, bone mineral density, and handgrip strength were collected through questionnaires and physical examinations. Sarcopenia was defined based on appendicular skeletal muscle index and handgrip strength. MCI was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination, with adjustments for educational level. Participants were randomly divided into a training set and a validation set in a 7∶3 ratio. LASSO regression and multivariable logistic regression models were employed to screen for predictors and construct an MCI risk prediction model. The predictive performance of the model was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results: A total of 1 641 participants were surveyed, including 755 males (46.01%) and 886 females (53.99%). The majority of participants were aged 65-<75 years, comprising 1 154 individuals (70.32%). MCI was detected in 517 participants, corresponding to a detection rate of 31.51%. Resultsfrom LASSO regression and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that residence (rural, OR = 2.323, 95% CI: 1.682-3.210), age (75-<85 years, OR = 1.405, 95% CI: 1.019-1.937; ≥85 years, OR = 3.655, 95% CI: 1.696-7.875), educational level (primary school, OR = 0.341, 95% CI: 0.247-0.472; junior high school, OR = 0.255, 95% CI: 0.160-0.408; high school, OR = 0.286, 95% CI: 0.154-0.531; bachelor's degree or above, OR = 0.120, 95% CI: 0.041-0.351), history of alcohol consumption (yes, OR = 3.216, 95% CI: 2.164-4.779), risk of malnutrition (yes, OR = 1.464, 95% CI: 1.064-2.014), sarcopenia (yes, OR = 3.197, 95% CI: 2.332-4.385), and waist-to-hip ratio (abnormal, OR = 1.540, 95% CI: 1.159-2.048) were identified as predictive factors for MCI among the elderly. In the training set, the area under the ROC curve, sensitivity, and specificity were 0.788, 0.719, and 0.712, respectively. In the validation set, the corresponding values were 0.784, 0.913, and 0.542, respectively. DCA demonstrated that the model provided a higher clinical net benefit for predicting MCI risk when the risk threshold probability ranged from 0.124 to 0.764. Conclusion The prediction model developed in this study demonstrates good discriminative ability and clinical utility, indicating its substantial value for predicting the MCI risk among the elderly.

BackgroundDepression has become a public health concern that affects the physical and mental health of college students. acute stress response is a risk factor of depression. Exploring the relationship and mechanism between acute stress response and depression is of great significance for preventing and intervening depression in college students. ObjectiveTo examine the relationship between acute stress response and depression among college students， and to analyze the mediating role of rumination and the moderated effect of perceived social support， so as to provide references for the prevention and intervention of depression in college student . MethodsFrom March to April 2020， a cluster sampling method was employed to select 1 355 college students from three universities in Hubei， Jiangxi and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Participants were assessed with Acute Stress Disorder Scale （ASDS）， Ruminative Responses Scale （RRS）， Brief form of Perceived Social Support Questionnaire （F-SozU） and Patients' Health Questionnaire Depression Scale-9 item （PHQ-9）. Pearson correlation analysis was adopted to examine the correlation between the scores of each scale. The mediating role of rumination between acute stress response and depression and the moderated role of perceived social support were examined respectively by using Model 4 and Model 14 in Macro Program Process 3.3. ResultsA total of 1 303 valid questionnaires were collected， yielding a valid response rate of 96.16%. The results of Pearson correlation analysis showed that ASDS score was positively correlated with RRS score and PHQ-9 score （r=0.649， 0.528， P<0.01） among college students. The mediation analysis results demonstrated that rumination played a partial mediating role between acute stress response and depression， with the mediating effect value of 0.273 （95% CI：0.222~0.328）， accounting for 68.59% of the total effect. Perceived social support played a moderated role in the latter path of the mediation model （rumination → depression） （β=-0.004， 95% CI： -0.017~-0.004， P<0.01）. ConclusionRumination played a partial mediating role between acute stress response and depression in college students， and perceptive social support played a moderated role between rumination and depression. ［Funded by Scientific Research Fund Project of Education Department of Yunnan Province （number， 2025J0437）］

ObjectiveTo investigate the mortality level and leading causes of death among the registered residents in Taishun County, Zhejiang Province from 2016 to 2023, as as to provide evidence for the formulation of relevant disease prevention and control strategies. MethodsDeath data of the registered residents in Taishun County were collected from the population death information registration and management system of Zhejiang Province Chronic Disease Surveillance Information Management System and Wenzhou City Disease Prevention and Control Information System. Excel 2021 software was used to calculate the mortality rates and cause-specific rankings of different genders, age groups, and surveillance years. ResultsDuring 2016‒2023, the crude mortality rate (CMR) of the registered residents in Taishun County was 663.97/10⁵, with a standardized mortality rate of 448.33/10⁵. The CMR for males (833.15/10⁵) was 1.73 times higher than that for females (480.77/10⁵). The mortality rate tended to decrease and then increase with age increased, with 78.25% of deaths occurring among individuals aged ≥65 years. The top five causes of death were malignant tumors, cerebral vascular diseases , cardiovascular diseases, chronic respiratory diseases, and injuries/poisoning, collectively accounting for 73.69% of the total deaths. The ranking orders for males and females were not exactly the same. Chronic diseases dominated the causes of death, accounting for 83.85% of the total deaths, from which, malignant tumors and cerebral vascular diseases accounted for 24.45% and 17.79%, respectively. ConclusionStatistically significant differences of mortality rates are observed among individuals from different ages and genders in Taishun County. Chronic diseases, particularly malignant tumors and cerebral vascular diseases, are the main causes of death among the registered residents in Taishun County. Therefore, it is needed to place weight on the prevention and management of chronic diseases, to alleviate the disease burden caused by premature deaths, and to promote the health of the whole population.

Objective To explore the relationship between perceived stress and suicidal ideation as well as the mediating effect of resilience and depression.Methods A sample of 875 college students was recruited for the study to complete a set of self-report measures of Chinese Perceived Stress Scale(CPSS),the Resiliency Scale of University Students,Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire,and Beck Depression Inventory(BDI).Results ①College students'perceived stress and depression had significantly positive correlation with their suicidal ideation,while the students'resilience had a significantly negative correlation with their perceived stress and depression.②Perceived stress did not affect suicidal ideation of the college students directly,but indirectly affected their suicidal ideation through three significant mediating pathways:the separate mediating effects of(a)resilience and(b)depression,and the serial mediating effect of(c)resilience and depression.Conclusion Resilience and depression exert a chain mediating effect between perceived stress and suicidal ideation of college students.

The management of in vitro diagnostic(IVD)reagents in hospitals often faces issues such as the lack of a unified coding system,unclear consumption patterns,and unknown cost-to-income ratios.It is necessary to employ information systems to achieve comprehensive,detailed,and traceable management of IVD reagents.An information management system for IVD reagents based on unique coding is introduced,which integrates admission,acceptance,and consumption processes through unique codes.The system calculates the income per experimental item based on the consumption of IVD reagents and the charge for each experimental item.The system enhances the efficiency of the IVD reagent supply chain management and promotes detailed oversight of IVD reagent usage.

Objective:To explore the effect of timely induction intervention on postpartum urination in primipara during vaginal delivery, so as to provide the evidence for preventing the occurrence of postpartum urinary retention and relieving the pain of primipara.Methods:This study adopted a randomized controlled trial design, and selected 400 cases of primipara who were hospitalized for vaginal delivery in the Obstetric Department of Dalian Women and Children's Medical Group Sports New Town Hospital from June 2021 to September 2022 as the study objects by convenience sampling method. They were divided into the intervention group and the control group with 200 cases each by random number table method, and the control group received routine postpartum care. Instruct active urination within 6 hours after delivery. The intervention received timely induction urination intervention. The general condition and bladder urine volume of the women in the intervention group were evaluated at 2, 4, 6 h after delivery, respectively, and personalized guidance was implemented, including the frequency of massage of the bottom of the uterus, the control of water intake, the selection of methods and timing of inducing urination, etc., and routine postpartum care was given when the women completed their first urination and had no complaints of discomfort. The first urination time, first urination volume, first bladder irritation during the first urination and the incidence of postpartum urinary retention in different periods were compared between the two groups.Results:The patients in the control group were (29.60 ± 3.20) years old, while the patients in the intervention group were (28.81 ± 3.42) years old. The first urination time in the intervention group was (6.89 ± 2.18) h, which was shorter than that in the control group (9.11 ± 3.86) h, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-2.49, P<0.01). The first urination volume in the intervention group was (322.36 ± 120.15) ml, which was higher than that in the control group (262.93 ± 105.68) ml, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=3.39, P<0.05). The incidence of the first bladder irritation in the intervention group was 22.0%(44/200), which was lower than that in the control group 33.5%(67/200), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=6.60, P<0.05). The incidence of postpartum urinary retention within 24 h in the intervention group was 5.5%(11/200), which was lower than that in the control group 11.5%(23/200), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=4.63, P<0.05). The incidence of postpartum urinary retention within 1 week in the intervention group was 9.5%(19/200), which was lower than that in the control group 16.5%(33/200), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=4.33, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of postpartum urinary retention within 24 to 72 h between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Timely induction intervention can reduce the incidence of postpartum urinary retention, shorten the time of first urination, increase the volume of first urination and improve the comfort of first urination, which is worthy of clinical application.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of Ershiwuwei Guijiu pill in preventing and treating postmenopausal osteoporosis （PMOP） by activating the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt）/mammalian target of rapamycin （mTOR） signaling pathway and inhibiting excessive autophagy. MethodFemale SD rats were ovariectomized and randomly divided into the sham operation group （Sham）， the operation group （OVX）， the Ershiwuwei Guijiu pill （GJ） group， and the raloxifene hydrochloride （RLX） group， with 10 rats in each group. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） and colorimetric methods were used to detect the levels of estrogen， bone metabolism markers in serum， and total superoxide dismutase （T-SOD）， malondialdehyde （MDA）， and glutathione peroxidase （GSH-Px） in tibial tissue. Flow cytometry was used to detect reactive oxygen species （ROS） levels in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Masson staining was used to observe pathological changes in the proximal tibia， and micro-computed tomography （Micro-CT） was used to observe changes in tibial microstructural parameters. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） and Western blot were used to detect the expression of autophagy-related proteins Beclin1， microtubule-associated protein 1A/1B-light chain 3 （LC3）， autophagy-related 5 （Atg5）， as well as PI3K， Akt， and mTOR in tibial tissue. ResultCompared with the Sham group， the OVX group showed a significant decrease in serum levels of estradiol （E₂） and calcium ion （Ca²⁺）， and T-SOD， GSH-Px， PI3K， Akt， and mTOR mRNA levels in bone tissue （P<0.05， P<0.01）， significantly reduced bone mineral density （BMD）， bone surface/bone volume （BS/BV）， trabecular thickness （Tb.Th）， trabecular number （Tb.N）， and trabecular connectivity （Con） in the tibia （P<0.05， P<0.01）， thinner epiphyseal growth plate， and the bone marrow cavity filled with fat vacuoles. Moreover， the levels of phosphorus （P）， MDA， ROS， and mRNA and protein expression of Beclin1， LC3， and Atg5， as well as trabecular separation （Tb.Sp） were significantly elevated （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the OVX group， the GJ and RLX groups showed significant increases in serum E₂ and Ca²⁺， and bone tissue levels of SOD， GSH-Px， and the mRNA levels of PI3K， Akt， and mTOR （P<0.05， P<0.01）， significantly increased BMD， BS/BV， Tb.Th， Tb.N， and Con in the tibia， thickened epiphyseal growth plate， and significantly reduced fat vacuoles in the bone marrow cavity （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Additionally， the levels of P， MDA， ROS， Beclin1， LC3， Atg5 mRNA and proteins， and Tb.Sp were significantly decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The ratios of p-PI3K/PI3K， p-Akt/Akt， and p-mTOR/mTOR， which were significantly reduced in the OVX group （P<0.01）， were significantly increased in the GJ and RLX groups （P<0.01）. ConclusionThe Ershiwuwei Guijiu pill reduces oxidative stress and inhibits autophagy， thereby preventing and treating postmenopausal osteoporosis. Its mechanism may be related to the activation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway， which inhibits autophagy.

Objective To investigate the effects of PRPF19 knockdown on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells. Methods The expression of PRPF19 in pancreatic cancer and normal tissues was analyzed using the GEPIA database. The protein and mRNA expression levels of PRPF19 in pancreatic cancer cells were detected by Western blot and qRT-PCR. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) was used to silence the expression of PRPF19 in pancreatic cancer cells, and the knockdown efficiency was verified by Western blot and qRT-PCR. CCK-8, colony forming, and Transwell assay were used to detect the effects of knockdown of PRPF19 on the proliferation, colony forming, migration, and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells. Results GEPIA analysis showed that PRPF19 was highly expressed in pancreatic cancer tissues compared with normal pancreatic tissues. In comparison with normal pancreatic cells, PRPF19 was highly expressed in various pancreatic cancer cell lines such as MIA PaCa-2 and PANC-1 (P < 0.05). In comparison with the control group, PRPF19 knockdown significantly reduced the proliferation rate, colony forming, cell migration, and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells (P < 0.05). Conclusion PRPF19 knockdown inhibits the proliferation, migration, and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells. PRPF19 may play an important role as an oncogene of pancreatic cancer.

‍ ObjectiveTo investigate the value of preoperative fibrosis 4 score （FIB-4） combined with prognostic nutritional index （PNI） in predicting recurrence after radiofrequency ablation （RFA） for early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC）. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 365 patients with the initial diagnosis of early-stage HCC who underwent RFA at Tianjin Third Central Hospital from January 2013 to December 2017， and a statistical analysis was performed for recurrence and survival. The receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve was plotted for FIB-4 and PNI with postoperative tumor recurrence as the positive event， and their optimal cut-off values were selected. FIB-4 and PNI were graded and combined as FIB-4-PNI score， based on which the patients were divided into 0-point group with 207 patients， 1-point group with 93 patients， and 2-point group with 65 patients. The chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and the log-rank test were used to compare the recurrence-free survival （RFS） and overall survival （OS） between groups， and the Cox regression model was used to investigate the influencing factors for RFS and OS. ResultsThe 1-， 3-， and 5-year RFS rates of all patients were 79.2%， 49.8%， and 34.3%， respectively， with a median RFS of 35 months， while the 1-， 3-， and 5-year OS rates of all patients were 98.9%， 86.9%， and 77.3%， respectively. There were significant differences in cumulative RFS and OS rates between the patients with different levels of FIB-4， PNI， and FIB-4-PNI （RFS rate： χ²=17.890， 29.826， and 32.397， all P<0.001； OS rate： χ²=16.896， 21.070， and 26.121， all P<0.001）. The multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that history of diabetes （hazard ratio ［HR］=1.418， 95% confidence interval ［CI］： 1.046‍ ‍—‍ ‍1.922， P=0.024）， two tumors （HR=1.516， 95%CI： 1.094‍ ‍—‍ ‍2.101， P=0.012）， three tumors （HR=2.146， 95%CI： 1.278‍ ‍—‍ ‍3.604， P=0.004）， FIB-4-PNI 1 point （HR=1.875， 95%CI： 1.385‍ ‍—‍ ‍2.539， P<0.001）， and FIB-4-PNI 2 points （HR=2.35， 95%CI： 1.706‍ ‍—‍ ‍3.236， P<0.001） were independent risk factors for RFS， while two tumors （HR=1.732， 95%CI： 1.005‍ ‍—‍ ‍2.983， P=0.048）， three tumors （HR=3.511， 95%CI： 1.658‍ ‍—‍ ‍7.433， P=0.001）， FIB-4-PNI 1 point （HR=2.094， 95%CI： 1.230‍ ‍—‍ ‍3.565， P=0.006）， and FIB-4-PNI 2 points （HR=3.908， 95%CI： 2.306‍ ‍—‍ ‍6.624， P<0.001） were independent risk factors for OS. ConclusionFIB-4-PNI score can be used as an independent predictive factor for recurrence and overall survival time after RFA for early-stage HCC， and it can be combined with tumor features to predict postoperative recurrence and survival.

In recent years, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have made great progress in the treatment of tumor patients, prolonging their survival. However, the expansion of immunity against tumors with ICIs may also cause an imbalance in immune tolerance, leading to immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Immune-mediated liver injury caused by ICIs (ILICI) is one of the more common types of irAEs. In this review paper, the definition, epidemiology, risk factors, pathogenesis, pathology, clinical manifestations, treatment, recurrence, and re-treatment of ILICI were summarized to provide a basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
