Objective: To investigate the association between body weight standardized vitamin B intakes and blood pressure among school aged children, so as to provide evidence for developing dietary guidance and intervention strategies of promoting healthy blood pressure in children. Methods: The data were derived from a pediatric health cohort established in both urban and rural areas of Chongqing. A total of 1 368 primary school students in grades one to three were recruited for the baseline survey between October and November 2014 by using a stratified cluster random sampling design. From February to March 2019, 1 283 participants completed the first follow up assessment. Dietary intake and sociodemographic characteristics were assessed using a food frequency questionnaire and a self administered questionnaire. Blood pressure, height, weight, and other anthropometric indicators were measured. Body weight standardized intakes of six B vitamins(B 1, B 2, B 3, B 6, B 9, and B 12 )were categorized into tertiles( T1-T 3). Linear mixed effects models were applied to examine the associations between body weight standardized vitamin B intakes and changes in systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and mean arterial pressure (MAP). In addition, mixed effects Logistic regression models were used to assess the risk of elevated blood pressure. Results: Linear mixed effects model regression analyses showed that, after adjusting for potential confounders including age, sex, and family history of obesity, body weight standardized B vitamin intake was negatively associated with SBP, DBP, and MAP in school aged children ( β =-7.79 to -0.68, all P <0.05). Results from the mixed effects Logistic regression models showed that, compared with the T 1 group, children in the T 3 group had a lower risk of elevated blood pressure for vitamin B 1 ( OR=0.40, 95%CI =0.25-0.64), B 2 ( OR=0.36, 95%CI =0.23-0.58), B 3 ( OR=0.47, 95%CI =0.31-0.72, B 6 ( OR=0.37, 95%CI =0.22-0.60), B 9 ( OR=0.36, 95%CI =0.21-0.60), and B 12 ( OR= 0.56 , 95%CI =0.37-0.86)(all P <0.05). Conclusions Body weight standardized B vitamins were associated with changes in blood pressure levels and the risk of elevated blood pressure among school aged children. Ensuring sufficient dietary intakes of vitamin B may help prevent and control of abnormal blood pressure in children.

Platelet-derived exosomes (PLT-Exos) are a subgroup of nanoscale extracellular vesicles released by platelets upon activatin. As key intercellular signaling mediators, they precisely regulate target cells through the delivery of functional molecules, exerting multiple biological effects that promote tissue repair. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that PLT-Exos significantly facilitate the repair of various tissue injuries by modulating inflammatory responses, stimulating angiogenesis, activating key repair signaling pathways, and mediating stem cell homing. Furthermore, owing to their inherent targeting capacity and low immunogenicity, PLT-Exos have emerged as a promising platform for novel drug delivery carriers in tissue repair. This article systematically reviews the biological characteristics of PLT-Exos, their isolation and identification techniques, the underlying mechanisms of action, and recent advances in clinical application. It also addresses the current challenges in clinical translation, including standardized preparation, subpopulation heterogeneity, scalable production, and clinical implementation, aiming to provide a theoretical reference for both basic research and clinical translation of PLT-Exos in tissue repair.

Objective To explore the mechanism of Shen Hong capsule in preventing and treating acute mountain sickness based on biological information platform and in vitro experiment. Methods Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology （TCMSP） and Traditional Chinese Medicine Information Database （TCMID） were used to obtain the active components and predicted targets of Shen Hong capsule. Therapeutic Target Database （TTD）, Disease Gene Network （DisGeNET） database and GeneCards database were used to search for the targets of acute mountain sickness related diseases, and the potential therapeutic targets were obtained. The protein-protein interaction （PPI） was analyzed by Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins （STRING）, the Database for Annotation, Visualization, and Integrated Discovery （DAVID） online platform was used to analyse the Gene Ontology （GO） and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） signal pathway enrichment. The network information was visualized by Cytoscape software, the key targets in PPI network were obtained according to the topology data, and the binding ability of main active components and key therapeutic targets were analyzed by molecular docking. The validation of the main active components was performed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry （LC-MS）. The hypoxia model was created by H9c2 cells, apoptosis was visualized by Hoechst33342 staining, and key target proteins were verified by Western blot. Results 91 active components, 3 main active components and 150 predicted targets were selected from Shen Hong capsule. 515 targets of altitude sickness-related diseases and 37 targets of Shen Hong capsule regulating altitude sickness-related diseases were screened out. 44 related signal pathways, such as HIF-1 signal pathway, PPAR signal pathway, drug metabolism - cytochrome P450, were enriched and analyzed. TNF, IL1B, VEGFA, NOS3, EGFR, ESR1, PPARG, NR3C1, HMOX1 and IFNG were 10 key targets. The molecular docking results showed that the docking conformations between the main active components and the key targets were stable. The three main active components of quercetin, luteolin and kaempferol were identified by LC-MS, and in vitro experiments proved that Shen Hong capsule could relieve acute hypoxia injury by regulating the expression of HIF-1α, PPARG, NOS3, and TNF. Conclusion Shen Hong capsule could regulate the body’s hypoxia response and metabolism through multi-component, multi-target and multi-channel ways, so as to prevent and treat acute mountain sickness. This study provided a direction for further exploring the mechanism of Shen Hong capsule, and also provided a theoretical basis for further development and clinical application.

The high incidence of bleeding after peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) catheterization increases the risk of puncture site infection and unplanned extubation. Hemostatic dressings should be used in the early stages of catheterization to reduce blood infiltration. However, new hemostatic dressings have various types and advantages, which makes them difficult to choose dressings for medical staff. This paper introduces the types and hemostatic characteristics of novel functional hemostatic dressings, reviews the hemostatic mechanism and hemostatic effect of chitosan, cyanoacrylate gum, alginate, gelatin sponge and oxycellulose dressings in PICC puncture respectively, and prospects the development of new functional hemostatic dressings. It is expected that future hemostatic dressings will move towards multifunctionality and compositeness.

Obesity is a significant risk factor for cancer and is associated with breast cancer metastasis. Nevertheless, the mechanism by which alterations in systemic metabolism affect tumor microenvironment (TME) and consequently influence tumor metastasis remains inadequately understood. Herein, we found that perturbations in circulating metabolites induced by obesity promote metastasis-like phenotypes in breast cancer. Oleoylcarnitine (OLCarn) concentrations were elevated in the serum of obese mice and humans. Administration of exogenous OLCarn induces metastasis-like characteristics in breast cancer cells. Mechanistically, OLCarn directly interacts with the Arg176 site of adenylate cyclase 10 (ADCY10), leading to the activation of ADCY10 and enhancement of cAMP production. Mutations at Arg176 prevent OLCarn from binding to ADCY10, disrupting the ADCY10-mediated activation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling pathway. This activation promotes transcription factor 4 (TCF4)-dependent kinesin family member C1 (KIFC1) transcription, thereby driving breast cancer metastasis. Conversely, the neutralization of both ADCY10 and KIFC1 through knockdown or pharmacological inhibition abrogates the oncogenic effects mediated by OLCarn. Hence, obesity-induced systemic environmental changes lead to the aberrant accumulation of OLCarn within the TME, making it a potential therapeutic target and biomarker for breast cancer.

The invasive arterial blood pressure(ABP)monitoring technique is widely utilized in the management of critically ill patients,providing medical professionals with real-time,continuous,and dynamic blood pressure data that plays a crucial role in guiding patient treatment.However,current traditional methods for arterial catheter blood collection and zero setting and measurement technology for ABP and central venous pressure(CVP)present certain issues such as complex operation procedures,inaccurate zero setting,and the inability to simultaneously monitor both ABP and CVP.Additionally,these methods may increase the risk of bloodstream infection and occupational exposure.Therefore,the department of critical care medicine at Tianjin Medical University General Hospital has developed a vascular access convenient blood collection device which has been granted a National Utility Model Patent(patent number:ZL 202322581247.4).This device includes a connecting tube,a specimen collection structure,a blood suction structure,a multifunctional pressure measurement device with laser emission structure,a pressure measurement conversion structure,and an efficient vascular access blood collection device.By optimizing the blood collection procedure and simplifying the manometry process,this design reduces the risk of bloodstream infection for patients and minimizes occupational exposure for medical staff.The device ensures accurate zero point adjustment of pressure measurements while guaranteeing the authenticity and reliability of collected data.Additionally,it supports synchronous monitoring of ABP and CVP,thereby saving medical consumables and reducing workload for healthcare professionals.This simple yet safe and efficient device meets clinical requirements effectively and is highly recommended for widespread use.

Objective To construct a machine learning algorithm using biomarkers to predict the risk of sepsis-induced respiratory tract infection in order to assist clinicians in making decisions.Methods Based on the diagnostic criteria of the research subjects,and the basic clinical data of the participants were collected.The data set was randomly split into a training set(80％)and a validation set(20％).Use feature filtering algorithms to select the best subset of variables from the training set,and use this subset to construct random forest(RF),extreme gradient boosting(XGBoost),adaptive boosting(AdaBoost),Logistic regression(LR),ridge regression(Ridge),and support vector machine(SVM)classifiers.Then,evaluate the model's generalization ability using a validation dataset.Evaluate the performance of the model comprehensively through accuracy,precision,recall,and area under the curve.Results A total of 377 patients with sepsis-induced respiratory tract infection(case group)and 564 patients with respiratory tract infection(control group)were included,and 17 variables were found to be suitable for the initial model construction.Using feature screening algorithm,we found that the predictive performance of tree models(RF,XGboost,and AdaBoost)was better than that of linear models(LR,SVM,and Ridge).The AdaBoost model included 14 biomarkers,and its prediction accuracy was better than RF,XGBoost,LR,SVM,Ridge models,its precision,recall,accuracy and area under the curve were 0.90,0.84,91.75％and 0.950,respectively.The Ridge model had the worst prediction performance,with an accuracy of 82.97％,its precision,recall and area under the curve were 0.90,0.72 and 0.835 respectively.Conclusion In this study,six predictive models of sepsis-induced respiratory tract infection were developed,among which AdaBoost model could more accurately predict the risk of sepsis-induced respiratory tract infection and help to assist clinical decision-making.

Objective:To explore the impact of age on the genetic variant spectrum and prognosis of patients with previously untreated Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data and follow-up information of 254 previously untreated DLBCL patients from 14 hospitals in the Jiangsu Cooperative Lymphoma Group (JCLG) enrolled from July 2018 and July 2023. Following extraction of DNA from tumor tissue samples, next-generation sequencing (NGS) technique was employed to analyze the genetic variant spectrum of the DLBCL patients, with an evaluation of the relationship between age and genetic variants as well as prognosis. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University (Ethics No.: 2023-K048-01).Results:The median age of the 254 DLBCL patients was 62 years old, with 55% of patients aged 60 years or above. Clinical evaluation showed that younger (< 60 years) patients had higher complete response (CR) (70% vs. 59%), and objective response rate (ORR) (88% vs. 79%) than older patients, though the difference between the two groups was not statistically. Survival analysis indicated that both the five-year overall survival (OS) (82.7% vs. 71.7%, P=0.006) and progression-free survival (PFS) (70.6% vs. 50.2%, P<0.05) rates were significantly higher in younger patients. NGS showed that 99.6% of the patients harbored genetic variants, with PIM1, KMT2D, TP53, MYD88, and CD79B being the most common genes. Age significantly affected the variant frequency of certain genes, with MYC variants serving an adverse prognostic factor for OS in younger patients ( P=0.001), while TP53 ( P=0.024) and BCL2 ( P=0.002) variants significantly impacted OS in older patients. Prognostic analysis identified age ≥ 60 years ( HR=3.439, 95% CI=1.318~9.874), presence of B symptoms ( HR = 2.871, 95% CI=1.133~7.307), and elevated lactate dehydrogenase ( HR=3.528, 95% CI=1.231~10.66) as independent adverse prognostic factors. Conclusion:Age, genetic variants, and clinical factors may significantly affect the prognosis of the DLBCL patients. Younger patients have better survival compared to older patients. Variants of the MYC, BCL2, and TP53 genes are closely associated with poor prognosis.

The study was conducted among 120 general practitioners (GPs) in Shanghai Fengxian District from August 2022 to March 2024, the participants were randomly divided into two age-matched groups with 60 GPs in each group. The intervention group completed a 3-month SPOC (Small Private Online Course)program, including two weeks of narrative medicine theory (concepts, questioning skills, parallel medical record writing, and professionalism) followed by monthly writing practices (three parallel records per month) and group discussions. Both groups performed routine clinical tasks, while the control group received no narrative medicine training. Baseline data were collected, Jefferson Empathy Scale scores, and Doctor-Patient Communication Skills Evaluation Scale scores were evaluated pre- and post-intervention. There were no significant differences in empathy ( P>0.05) or communication skills ( P>0.05) between two groups before the intervention. Post-intervention, both groups showed improved empathy (both P<0.05) and communication skills (both P<0.05) after intervention, while the intervention group were outperforming the control group in both measures ( P<0.05). These findings suggest that SPOC-based narrative competence training effectively enhances the empathy and doctor-patient communication abilities of general practitioners.
