OBJECTIVE: To assess the relationship between blood pressure reactivity index (BPRI) and in-hospital mortality risk in patients with sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI). METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was conducted to collect data from patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and clinically diagnosed with SA-AKI between 2008 and 2019 in the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV (MIMIC-IV) database in the United States. The collected data included demographic characteristics, comorbidities, vital signs, laboratory parameters, sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) and simplified acute physiology scoreII(SAPSII) within 48 hours of SA-AKI diagnosis, stages of AKI, treatment regimens, mean BPRI during the first and second 24 hours (BPRI_0_24, BPRI_24_48), and outcome measures including primary outcome (in-hospital mortality) and secondary outcomes (ICU length of stay and total hospital length of stay). Variables with statistical significance in univariate analysis were included in LASSO regression analysis for variable selection, and the selected variables were subsequently incorporated into multivariate Logistic regression analysis to identify independent predictors associated with in-hospital mortality in SA-AKI patients. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis was employed to examine whether there was a linear relationship between BPRI within 48 hours and in-hospital mortality in SA-AKI patients. Basic prediction models were constructed based on the independent predictors identified through multivariate Logistic regression analysis, and receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was plotted to evaluate the predictive performance of each basic prediction model before and after incorporating BPRI. RESULTS: A total of 3 517 SA-AKI patients admitted to the ICU were included, of whom 826 died during hospitalization and 2 691 survived. The BPRI values within 48 hours of SA-AKI diagnosis were significantly lower in the death group compared with the survival group [BPRI_0_24: 4.53 (1.81, 8.11) vs. 17.39 (5.16, 52.43); BPRI_24_48: 4.76 (2.42, 12.44) vs. 32.23 (8.85, 85.52), all P < 0.05]. LASSO regression analysis identified 20 variables with non-zero coefficients that were included in the multivariate Logistic regression analysis. The results showed that respiratory rate, temperature, pulse oxygen saturation (SpO₂), white blood cell count (WBC), hematocrit (HCT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), lactate, oxygenation index, SOFA score, fluid balance (FB), BPRI_0_24, and BPRI_24_48 were all independent predictors for in-hospital mortality in SA-AKI patients (all P < 0.05). RCS analysis revealed that both BPRI showed "L"-shaped non-linear relationships with the risk of in-hospital mortality in SA-AKI patients. When BPRI_0_24 ≤ 14.47 or BPRI_24_48 ≤ 24.21, the risk of in-hospital mortality in SA-AKI increased as BPRI values decreased. Three basic prediction models were constructed based on the identified independent predictors: Model 1 (physiological indicator model) included respiratory rate, temperature, SpO₂, and oxygenation index; Model 2 (laboratory indicator model) included WBC, HCT, APTT, and lactate; Model 3 (scoring indicator model) included SOFA score and FB. ROC curve analysis showed that the predictive performance of the basic models ranked from high to low as follows: Model 3, Model 2, and Model 1, with area under the curve (AUC) values of 0.755, 0.661, and 0.655, respectively. The incorporation of BPRI indicators resulted in significant improvement in the discriminative ability of each model (all P < 0.05), with AUC values increasing to 0.832 for Model 3+BPRI, 0.805 for Model 2+BPRI, and 0.808 for Model 1+BPRI. CONCLUSIONS BPRI is an independent predictor factor for in-hospital mortality in SA-AKI patients. Incorporating BPRI into the prediction model for in-hospital mortality risk in SA-AKI can significantly improve its predictive capability.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Tongxie Yaofang on the function of tumor-related natural killer （NK） cells under chronic stress and explore the possible molecular mechanism. MethodFifty SPF-grade BABL/C male mice were randomized into normal， model， and low-， medium-， and high-dose （6.825， 13.65， and 27.3 g·kg^-1， respectively） Tongxie Yaofang groups， with 10 mice in each group. Other groups except the blank group were subjected to 7 days of chronic restraint stress， and then forced swimming and tail suspension tests were carried out to evaluate the modeling performance. After the successful modeling， rats in Tongxie Yaofang groups were administrated with low-， medium-， and high-doses of Tongxie Yaofang by gavage， while those in the other groups were administrated with normal saline by gavage. After 14 days， each group of mice was inoculated with subcutaneous colon cancer to establish the model of colon cancer under chronic stress. The pathological changes of the tumor tissue in each group of mice were observed using hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining. The content of CD49b-positive cells in the peripheral blood and tumor tissue of mice was measured by flow cytometry. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was employed to measure the content of molecules associated with NK cell activation in the peripheral blood. Western blot was employed to determine the protein levels of major histocompatibility complex class Ⅰ polypeptide-related sequences A and B （MICA+MICB） and UL-16-binding protein 1 （ULBP1） in the tumor tissue. ResultCompared with the normal group， the model group showed a decrease in 5-hydroxytryptamine （5-HT） content and an increase in corticosterone （CORT） content in the serum （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， Tongxie Yaofang increased the 5-HT content and decreased the CORT content （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the normal group， the modeling increased the tumor volume and weight （P<0.05）， while Tongxie Yaofang inhibited such increases with no statistical significance. The tumor cells in the model group presented neat arrangement， irregular shape， uneven size， obvious atypia， common nuclear division， and small necrotic area， and blood vessels were abundant surrounding the tumor cells. Compared with the model group， Tongxie Yaofang groups showed sparse arrangement of tumor cells， different degrees of patchy necrosis areas in the tumor， and karyorrhexis， dissolution， and nuclear debris in the necrotic part. Compared with the normal group， the model group showed reduced CD49b-positive cells in the peripheral blood and tumor tissue （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， Tongxie Yaofang increased CD49b-positive cells （medium dose P<0.01， high dose P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the normal group， the modeling lowered the serum levels of granzymes-B （Gzms-B）， perforin （PF）， interferon （IFN）-γ， and tumor necrosis factor （TNF）-α （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， low-dose Tongxie Yaofang elevated the serum levels of PF， Gzms-B， and TNF-α （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and medium-dose Tongxie Yaofang elevated the serum levels of Gzms-B， PF， IFN-γ， and TNF-α （P<0.05， P<0.01）. In addition， high-dose Tongxie Yaofang elevated the serum levels of PF， IFN-γ， and TNF-α （P<0.01）. Compared with the normal group， the model group presented down-regulated protein level of ULBP1 （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， low-， medium-， and high-dose Tongxie Yaofang up-regulated the protein level of ULBP1 （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and medium- and high-dose Tongxie Yaofang up-regulated the protein level of MICA+MICB （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionTongxie Yaofang may promote NK cell activation by up-regulating the expression of MICA+MICB and ULBP1， thereby delaying the progression of colon cancer under chronic stress.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of home exercise on pain, function and quality of life after operation for rotator cuff injury. MethodsFrom June, 2023 to June, 2024, 45 patients after operation for rotator cuff injury were selected from Xuzhou Rehabilitation Hospital Affiliated to Xuzhou Medical University and Xuzhou Central Hospital, and randomly divided into conventional group (n = 15), home-based group (n = 15) and combined group (n = 15). The conventional group received an eight-week routine rehabilitation program in hospital, the home-based group received an eight-week home exercise prescription training, and the combined group first received four weeks of routine rehabilitation in hospital, and followed by four weeks of home exercise prescription training. They were assessed with Visual Analogue Scale for pain (VAS), University of California at Los Angeles shoulder rating scale (UCLA), Constant-Murley Score (CMS), range of motion (ROM) of shoulder, and the Short-form of Health Survey-36 (SF-36) before treatment, and four and eight weeks after treatment. ResultsVAS scores decreased in all the three groups four and eight weeks after treatment (Z > 2.964, P < 0.001), which was the most in the home-based group four weeks after treatment (|Z| > 2.531, P < 0.05). The main effect of time was significant in scores of UCLA, CMS, and physical health and mental health of SF-36 (F > 498.102, P < 0.001), which improved after treatment (P < 0.001). The main effect of group was significant in score of mental health of SF-36 (F = 7.408, P = 0.002), which was the most in the home-based group four and eight weeks after treatment (P < 0.01). The interaction was significant in score of physical health of SF-36 (F = 10.138, P < 0.001), which was the least in the home-based group four weeks after treatment (P < 0.05). The main effect of time was significant in every direction of ROM, which improved after treatment (P < 0.001). The interaction was significant in ROM of abduction and external rotation (F > 4.059, P < 0.01), and almost significant in ROM of flexion (F = 2.412, P = 0.055). However, ROM of flexion was less in the home-based group than in the combined group four weeks after treatment (P = 0.047), which was less in the home-based group than in the conventional group eight weeks after treatment (P = 0.042); ROM of abduction was the least in the home-based group four weeks after treatment (P < 0.01), which was less in the home-based group than in the combined group eight weeks after treatment (P = 0.046); ROM of external rotation was less in the home-based group than in the combined group four weeks after treatment (P = 0.022). ConclusionHome exercise is effective on pain, function and quality of life in patients after operation for rotator cuff injury. There are benefits with both home exercise and institution-based rehabilitation, and almost the same in a whole eight weeks after treatment.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) for venous thrombo embolism (VTE) in patients with lung cancer.Methods The patients with lung cancer admitted and treated in Chengdu Municipal Second People's Hospital from March 2022 to October 2023 were selected as the study subjects and divided into the VTE group (n=33) and the non-VTE group (n=37) ac-cording to whether or not complicating VTE.The clinical characteristics and laboratory indexes were collect-ed.The multivariate logistic regress was used to analyze the influencing factors.The receiver operating charac-teristic (ROC) curve was drawn.The difference of the areas under curve (AUC) was compared.The Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to evaluate the risk stratification capability of the related variables for VTE oc-currence in the patients with lung cancer.Results There were statistically significant differences in WBC,neutrophil,lymphocyte,albumin (ALB),D-dimer (D-D),plasma viscosity,neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR),platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and SII between the two groups (P<0.05).The multivariate lo-gistic regression analysis showed that high SII,tumor stage (Ⅲ-Ⅳ stage) and plasma viscosity were inde-pendent risk factors for VTE occurrence in the patients with lung cancer (P<0.05).The ROC curve analysis showed that AUC of the Khorana score,SII,modified Khorana score,NLR and PLR were 0.747,0.776,0.866,0.754 and 0.672,respectively.The predictive efficiency of SII for VTE occurrence in the patients with lung cancer was better than that of Khorana score,NLR and PLR.Conclusion High SII is an independent risk factor for VTE occurrence in the patients with lung cancer,its risk stratification for VTE occurrence in the pa-tients with lung cancer is conducive to early recognize the high risk population.

ObjectiveTo investigate the protective effect and regulatory mechanism of berberine （BBR） against the senescence of ovarian granulosa cells. MethodA cell senescence model in the human ovarian granulosa-like tumor （KGN） cell line was induced by H₂O₂. A control group， a model group， and high-dose （1 μmol·L^-1） and low-dose （0.5 μmol·L^-1） BBR groups were set up. The cells in the model group and the BBR groups were incubated with 10 μmol·L^-1 H₂O₂ for 40 min. The effect of BBR on KGN cell proliferation was detected by cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8） assay. The effect of BBR on the senescence of KGN cells was detected by β-galactosidase staining. The effects of BBR on the apoptosis and ROS content of KGN cells were detected by flow cytometry. The effects of BBR on the mRNA expression of B-cell lymphoma-2 （Bcl-2）/Bcl-2-associated X protein （Bax）， cysteinyl aspartate-specific protease-3 （Caspase-3）， forkhead transcription factor O1 （FoxO1）， and catalase （CAT） was detected by Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR）. Western blot was used to detect the effects of BBR on protein expression of silent information regulator1 （SIRT1）， superoxide dismutase 2 （SOD2）， c-Jun N-terminal kinase （JNK）， FoxO1， autophagy-associated protein microtubule-associated protein light chain 3Ⅱ （LC3BⅡ）， mammalian ortholog of yeast Atg6 （Beclin-1）， and ubiquitin-binding protein p62. ResultAfter H₂O₂ induction for 40 min， the cell proliferation rate of the model group decreased compared with that of the control group （P<0.01）， and the cell proliferation rates of the BBR groups increased compared with that of the model group （P<0.05）. The results of β-galactosidase staining showed that the cells of the model group showed significant senescence compared with those of the control group （P<0.01）， and the cellular senescence in the BBR groups was reduced compared with that of the model group （P<0.01）. As revealed by flow cytometry， compared with the control group， the model group showed increased apoptosis rate （P<0.01）， and compared with the model group， BBR groups showed decreased apoptosis rates （P<0.05）. Meanwhile， the ROS content in the model group increased compared with that in the control group （P<0.01）， and compared with the model group， the BBR groups showed reduced cellular ROS content （P<0.01）. The Real-time PCR results showed that compared with the control group， the model group showed decreased mRNA expression of CAT and Bcl-2/Bax in KGN cells and increased mRNA expression of Caspase-3 and FoxO1 （P<0.05）， and compared with the model group， the BBR groups showed increased mRNA expression of CAT and Bcl-2/Bax （P<0.05） and reduced mRNA expression of Caspase-3 and FoxO1 in KGN cells （P<0.05）. As revealed by Western blot results， SIRT1， SOD2， and p62 protein levels decreased in the model group compared with those in the control group （P<0.01）， and JNK FoxO1， LC3BⅡ， and Beclin-1 protein levels increased （P<0.05）. After BBR intervention， SIRT1， SOD2， and p62 protein levels increased （P<0.01）， and JNK， FoxO1， LC3BⅡ， and Beclin-1 protein levels decreased compared with those in the model group （P<0.05）. ConclusionBBR has an inhibitory effect on ovarian granulosa cell senescence， and the mechanism is related to the inhibition of apoptosis and autophagy mediated by the SIRT1/FoxO1 pathway.

Mevalonate metabolism plays an important role in regulating tumor growth and progression; however, its role in immune evasion and immune checkpoint modulation remains unclear. Here, we found that non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with higher plasma mevalonate response better to anti-PD-(L)1 therapy, as indicated by prolonged progression-free survival and overall survival. Plasma mevalonate levels were positively correlated with programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression in tumor tissues. In NSCLC cell lines and patient-derived cells, supplementation of mevalonate significantly up-regulated the expression of PD-L1, whereas deprivation of mevalonate reduced PD-L1 expression. Mevalonate increased CD274 mRNA level but did not affect CD274 transcription. Further, we confirmed that mevalonate improved CD274 mRNA stability. Mevalonate promoted the affinity of the AU-rich element-binding protein HuR to the 3'-UTR regions of CD274 mRNA and thereby stabilized CD274 mRNA. By in vivo study, we further confirmed that mevalonate addition enhanced the anti-tumor effect of anti-PD-L1, increased the infiltration of CD8⁺ T cells, and improved cytotoxic function of T cells. Collectively, our findings discovered plasma mevalonate levels positively correlated with the therapeutic efficacy of anti-PD-(L)1 antibody, and provided the evidence that mevalonate supplementation could be an immunosensitizer in NSCLC.
