Objective: To analyze the association between intraoperative blood transfusion and adverse perinatal outcomes(a composite of maternal death, hepatic encephalopathy, etc) in patients with acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP), identify independent risk factors for these outcomes, and develop and validate a risk prediction model for early identification of high-risk patients. Methods: Clinical data of 56 AFLP patients admitted to our hospital from January 2008 to January 2025 were retrospectively analyzed. The chi-square test was used to compare the incidence of adverse perinatal outcomes between the transfusion group and the non-transfusion group. Univariate and multivariate Firth-penalized logistic regression analyses were performed to identify independent predictors of adverse outcomes. Based on the identified independent risk factors, a combined prediction model was developed. Internal validation was performed using the Bootstrap method (1 000 resamplings) to assess the model′s generalizability. Model performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curves and calibration curves. Finally, a nomogram for predicting adverse perinatal outcomes in AFLP was constructed. Results: Overall, 57.1%(32/56) of the patients received blood product transfusion during the termination of pregnancy. Multivariate Firth-penalized logistic regression analysis showed that, given the limited sample size, intraoperative blood transfusion had no independent statistical effect on adverse outcomes (OR=0.812, 95%CI:0.133-3.698, P=0.797). Mediation analysis also revealed no significant indirect effect. The independent risk factors were decreased preoperative fibrinogen (OR=14.062, 95%CI:2.389-126.656, P=0.003), pregnancy with infection (OR= 4.536, 95%CI:1.143-22.107, P=0.031), and cesarean section (OR=8.691, 95%CI:1.321-90.081, P=0.023). The combined prediction model achieved an AUC of 0.881 (95% CI:0.793-0.969, P<0.001), indicating good discrimination. At the optimal cut-off value, the sensitivity was 65.6%, specificity 95.8%, positive predictive value 95.5%, and negative predictive value 67.6%. Internal validation by the Bootstrap method showed that the predictive model had good discrimination and no obvious overfitting. The calibration curve demonstrated that the model′s predicted risk was consistent with the actual observed risk. Based on this, an AFLP perinatal adverse outcome nomogram model was constructed. Conclusion: Under the limited sample size of this study, no independent statistical effect of intraoperative blood product infusion on adverse perinatal outcomes in AFLP patients was detected. A multivariate Firth-penalized logistic regression model incorporating decreased preoperative fibrinogen, pregnancy with infection, and cesarean delivery demonstrated good discrimination and calibration. The derived nomogram may serve as an exploratory tool for early risk stratification and proactive intervention.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects and mechanism of modified Xiaoqinglong decoction combined with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells （BMSCs） on nasal-pulmonary-intestinal mucosal immunity in rats with cold asthma. METHODS SD rats were randomly divided into blank group， model group， BMSCs group， BMSCs+modified Xiaoqinglong decoction （6.39 g/kg） group， and BMSCs+dexamethasone （0.125 mg/kg） group， with 10 rats in each group. The cold asthma rat model was established by sensitization and atomization challenge with ovalbumin combined with aluminum hydroxide， together with cold air stimulation from air conditioners. One hour before the initial atomization challenge， rats in all groups except the blank group and model group were injected with BMSCs suspension via the tail vein. Starting from the 15th day of the experiment， rats in each group were intragastrically administered corresponding liquid medicine or normal saline once a day for 7 consecutive days. After the last administration， the asthmatic behavioral changes and pathological morphological changes of lung tissues in rats were evaluated. The levels of interleukin-6 （IL-6） and IL-10 in nasopharyngeal lavage fluid， bronchoalveolar lavage fluid （BALF） and intestinal mucus were detected. The expression levels of proteins related to the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt） signaling pathway in nasal， lung and intestinal tissues were determined. RESULTS Compared with the blank group， the asthmatic behavioral score， lung tissue injury score， IL-6 levels in nasopharyngeal lavage fluid， BALF and intestinal mucus， PI3K protein expression and Akt phosphorylation levels in nasal， lung and intestinal tissues of rats in the model group were significantly increased （ P ＜0.05）； the IL-10 levels in nasopharyngeal lavage fluid， BALF and intestinal mucus were significantly decreased （ P ＜0.05）. Alveolar atrophy， collapse and even fusion， abnormal hyperplasia and hypertrophy of bronchial smooth muscle， and massive inflammatory cell infiltration were observed. Compared with the model group， most of the above quantitative indicators in the BMSCs group， BMSCs+modified Xiaoqinglong decoction group and BMSCs+dexamethasone group were significantly reversed （ P ＜0.05）， and pathological injuries of lung tissues were markedly alleviated. Compared with the BMSCs group， most of the above quantitative indicators were further improved in the BMSCs+modified Xiaoqinglong decoction group （ P ＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Modified Xiaoqinglong decoction combined with BMSCs can effectively improve nasal-pulmonary-intestinal mucosal immunity and relieve asthmatic symptoms in cold asthma rats， and its mechanism may be related to inhibiting the activation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

ObjectiveTo investigate the application of central auditory testing combined with electroencephalographic features in the early screening of mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease. MethodsA convenience sampling method was used to conduct a field survey in the Qixia District of Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, from July to September, 2025. A total of 40 older adults diagnosed as mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease and 23 cognitively normal older adults were recruited. Auditory N-back and dichotic listening paradigms were employed for assessment, while the scores of Montreal Cognitive Assessment Beijing Version (MoCA-BJ) and 32-channel electroencephalogram (EEG) data were simultaneously collected. Binary logistic regression analysis was applied to identify predictive indicators, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted, and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated. ResultsThe total score of dichotic listening was positively correlated with overall cognitive function (r = 0.475, P < 0.01), while right-ear advantage showed negative correlations with overall cognition, visuospatial ability, abstract reasoning, and delayed recall (r < -0.276, P < 0.05). Task performance across all conditions of the N-back task was positively correlated with overall cognitive function (r > 0.249, P < 0.05). Regarding EEG features, δ and θ band power and power peaks were positively correlated with delayed recall (r > 0.258, P < 0.05), whereas (α+θ)/(α+β) and θ/(α+β) were positively correlated with naming ability and visuospatial executive function, respectively (r > 0.261, P < 0.05). The results of the binary logistic regression analysis showed that the total score of binaural dichotic listening, the accuracy of 1-back task, the average power of δ waves, and the ratio of θ/(α+β) were independent influencing factors for mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease (P < 0.05). The ROC analysis indicated that the AUC for auditory task performance and EEG features were 0.845 and 0.735 respectively, and when combined, the AUC increased to 0.862. ConclusionThe screening model based on the integration of auditory task performance and EEG features can be used in the early identification of mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks among the most prevalent malignancies globally, posing a substantial threat to public health. At initial diagnosis, 20%-25% of patients present with metastatic disease, while 50% of localized cases eventually progress to metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). The prognosis for mCRC remains poor, with a 5-year survival rate below 20%. Precision medicine, an individualized and deeply stratified approach to disease prevention and management, demonstrates exceptional potential in treatment of CRC.The pathogenesis and progression of CRC are closely linked to diverse genetic abnormalities. Through genomic profiling to define clinically actionable subgroups, the efficacy of targeted therapies and immunotherapies can be significantly enhanced. The mutational status of RAS and BRAF genes holds critical importance in guiding therapeutic selection for targeted agents. Patients with DNA mismatch repair deficiency/microsatellite instability-high status exhibit notable responses to immunotherapies. Emerging modalities such as chimeric antigen receptor-T-cell immunotherapy and fecal microbiota transplantation show therapeutic promise in mCRC. Additionally, circulating tumor DNA, multi-omics technologies, and artificial intelligence are increasingly utilized in early screening, diagnostic refinement, treatment response monitoring, and prognostic prediction. The authors comprehensively discuss the current status and advances in precision diagnosis and treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer from perspectives including genomic abnormalities, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and future directions.

Currently, The treatment methods for early gastric cancer mainly include endoscopic resection and surgical resection. Traditional radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer often results in complications such as impaired quality of life, weight loss, and post-gastrectomy syndrome. Function-preserving gastric surgery (FPG) aims to ensure radical resection of early gastric cancer while selecting appropriate reconstruction methods, minimizing the extent of surgery, and preserving gastric function as much as possible, which can improve patients' quality of life. However, there is currently a lack of standardized postoperative functional evaluation criteria for function preserving gastrectomy, and the selection of functional evaluation methods in clinical practice is often biased, which cannot effectively evaluate the overall function of patients. Therefore, this article discusses the functional evaluation of gastric preservation surgery from three aspects: postoperative quality of life, recovery of gastric function, and nutritional status.

Objective:To investigate the status of leisure crafting and post competence and their correlation among anesthesia specialist nurses.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to conducted a questionnaire survey on 280 anesthesia specialist nurses at grade A tertiary hospitals in 19 provinces of China. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the Chinese version of Leisure Crafting Scale, and the Post Competency Scale for Anesthesia Specialist Nurses. SPSS 24.0 was used for t test and one-way analysis of variance. A Pearson correlation analysis was used to assess relationships between variables. Results:The total score of leisure crafting was (30.41±6.69) and the average score was (3.38±0.74). The total score of post competency was (141.76±21.76) and the average score was (3.73±0.57). A positive correlation was observed between leisure crafting and post competency ( r=0.215, P<0.01). Conclusions:Managers should encourage anesthesia specialist nurses to actively engage in leisure crafting and provide diverse opportunities for leisure crafting to improve their post competence and ultimately the quality of anesthesia nursing.

Objective:To construct a training program for epilepsy specialist nurses, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the training and development of epilepsy specialist nurses.Methods:A preliminary training program for epilepsy specialist nurses was developed based on literature review, semi-structured interview, focus group discussion and clinical practice experience. Delphi method was used to select 20 experts from several regions of China for two rounds of consultation.Results:In the two rounds of expert consultation, the effective recovery rate of the questionnaire was both 100%, the expert authority coefficient was 0.908 and 0.958, and the degree of coordination of expert opinions was 0.180 to 0.229 and 0.138 to 0.189, respectively ( P<0.05). The standardized training program for epilepsy specialist nurses was finally constructed, including 5 first-level indicators (admission conditions, general theory courses, specialty theory courses, specialty nursing practice courses, training modes and effectiveness evaluation), 15 second-level indicators and 61 third-level indicators. Conclusions:The training program constructed for epilepsy specialist nurses is scientific and reasonable, with certain reliability and practicality, which provides a theoretical basis for the training of epilepsy specialist nurses, and promotes the common development of China's epilepsy specialist nurse team.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of the cancer antigen 125 (CA 125) elimination rate constant K (KELIM) score for no visible residual disease (R0) and prognosis in high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT)+interval debulking surgery (IDS). Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 78 HGSOC patients treated with NACT+IDS at Beijing Hospital, from June 2014 to June 2024. The KELIM score was calculated, and its predictive value for R0 resection, chemotherapy response score (CRS), platinum-free interval (PFI), progression-free survival (PFS) time, and overall survival (OS) time was analyzed.Results:(1) The mean age at diagnosis was (61.9±9.9) years. The mean KELIM score was 1.1±0.4, with 44 patients having KELIM score≥1 and 34 having KELIM score <1. (2) Patients with KELIM score ≥1 had significantly higher rates of R0 resection (84% vs 56%; P=0.006), CRS3 grading (41% vs 0; P<0.001), and PFI ≥6 months (84% vs 53%; P=0.04) compared to those with KELIM score <1. Additionally, the median PFS time (18.7 vs 13.2 months; P<0.001) and OS time (34.8 vs 29.9 months; P=0.007) were significantly longer in the KELIM score ≥1 group. Chemosensitivity: patients with PFI <6 months had a significantly lower median KELIM score than those with PFI ≥6 months (0.8 vs 1.2; P=0.005). Surgical outcome: patients achieving R0 resection had a significantly higher median KELIM score than those without R0 (1.2 vs 0.7; P<0.001). (3) Univariate analysis identified non-R0 resection, CRS3 grading, lack of poly adenosine diphosphate ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitor maintenance therapy, and KELIM score <1 as significant risk factors for OS time (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis confirmed non-R0 resection ( HR=3.78,95% CI: 1.13-12.66; P=0.031), no PARP inhibitor maintenance ( HR=7.41,95% CI:1.82-30.15; P=0.005), and KELIM score <1 ( HR=5.14,95% CI:1.41-18.72; P=0.013) as independent risk factors for OS time. Conclusions:The KELIM score may serve as a predictive marker for chemosensitivity, R0 resection, PFS time, and OS time in HGSOC patients undergoing NACT+IDS. KELIM score<1 is an independent risk factor for OS.
