The inclusion of"strengthening Party building in hospitals"in the Party Constitution during the 20th CPC Na-tional Congress has established fundamental guidelines for public hospital governance.As a critical component of China's health-care system,district-and county-level public hospitals'Party building quality directly influences both the implementation of hier-archical diagnosis systems and the preservation of public welfare values.Anchored in the overarching requirements of Party build-ing in the new context,this paper systematically evaluates the imperative for enhanced Party building in these hospitals.Address-ing prevalent challenges including the disconnection between Party initiatives and clinical operations,along with inadequate evalu-ation frameworks,we analyzed a successful"Five-Pillar Initiative"implemented at a Chongqing district-and county-level hospi-tal.Practical outcomes demonstrated that high-quality Party building has markedly advanced the hospital's disciplinary develop-ment,talent recruitment and cultivation,research and education,and patient satisfaction,generating a"multiplier effect"where-by Party leadership amplifies overall reform and development.The study proposes a three-dimensional development model(insti-tutionalization-standardization-branding)to establish sustainable mechanisms for deep Party-profession integration,offering repli-cable practices for grassroots healthcare institutions under the Healthy China initiative.

Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), transsacral magnetic root stimulation combined with sacral reflexes, external anal sphincter electromyography and pudendal nerve somatosensory evoked potentials in the assessment of neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD).Methods:Twenty-one NLUTD patients (1 with a supra-pontine lesion, 5 with a spinal cord injury, 5 with a cauda equina injury, and 10 with pelvic floor disorders) were enrolled. Needle electromyography (EMG) was used to record TMS-induced and transsacral magnetic stimulation-induced motor evoked potentials (tc-MEPs and ts-MEPs, respectively) related to the external anal sphincter (EAS). The dorsal nerve of the penis or clitoris was stimulated electrically to record the latency of the sacral reflex related to the EAS. Central motor conduction time (CMCT) and the tc/ts-MEP latency ratio were calculated to distinguish central from peripheral lesions.Results:In the one patient with a supra-pontine lesion, although the tc-MEP and ts-MEP latencies were within normal limits, the CMCT was prolonged (28.2ms) and the tc/ts-MEP ratio was large (7.4). Among the five patients with a spinal cord injury, one exhibited prolonged tc-MEP latency (50.6ms) and CMCT (47.8ms), along with a large tc/ts-MEP ratio (18.1). In the five patients with cauda equina injury and the ten with NLUTD secondary to pelvic floor disorders, CMCT was within the normal range [averaging (22.9±4.9ms) and (24.2±3.5ms), respectively], but the ts-MEP latency was prolonged [(7.1±2.1ms) and (8.6±3.7ms), respectively], and the tc/ts-MEP ratio was small [(4.4±0.9) and (4.3±1.5), respectively]. The tc/ts-MEP ratio demonstrated the best rate of abnormality detection (93.8%), with an area under the curve of 0.99, indicating good sensitivity.Conclusions:The tc/ts-MEP ratio can be useful for distinguishing central and peripheral lesions. A markedly increased tc/ts-MEP ratio may suggest central nervous system injury, whereas a decreased ratio may indicate peripheral nervous system injury.

【Objective】 To investigate the expression profile of circRNA in nuclear receptor NURR1 overexpressed prostate cancer (PCa) cells, so as to provide reference for revealing the mechanism of PCa progression. 【Methods】 The expression of NURR1 in PCa was analyzed with UALCAN and TNMplot. The distinct circRNAs in NURR1 overexpressed PCa cells were screened with RNA-sequencing. The functions and signal pathways of differentially expressed circRNA molecules were analyzed with GO and KEGG. 【Results】 The circ_0000915 was significantly downregulated in DU145, LNCaP and PC3 cells. In NURR1 overexpressed DU145 cells, circ_0005991 was up-regulated, while circ_0001460 and circ_0001315 were down-regulated. In NURR1 overexpressed LNCaP cells, circ_0040729 and circ_0000722 were significantly up-regulated. In NURR1 overexpressed PC3 cells, circ_0001577, circ_0000854 and circ_0018168 were up-regulated, while circ_013035, circ_0003028, circ_0082096 and circ_0005320 were down-regulated. KEGG analysis revealed that the differentially expressed circRNAs were significantly associated with dorsal/ventral neural tube patterns, protein folding chaperones, disordered domain specific binding, positive regulation of BMP signaling pathways, and neural tube patterning functions. 【Conclusion】 CircRNAs play an important role in NURR1 mediated PCa progression, but there are certain differences among different prostate cancer cell types. The regulatory mechanism between NURR1 and circ_0000915 in the progression of PCa needs further investigation.

Mayaro fever is a mosquito-borne viral infectious disease caused by Mayaro virus (MAYV). The main clinical symptoms are sudden onset of high fever triad, arthralgia and maculopapular rash. MAYV outbreaks occur more frequently in the Americas Region, particularly within tropical forests in Brazil. However, in recent years, virus circulation has been spreading to the Switzerland and Netherlands in Europe, which may invade urban areas and cause epidemics across the region. Consequently, this work focuses on the epidemiological characteristics and research progress of MAYV prevention and control, including biological characteristics, epidemiology, transmission vectors, prevention measures and treatment of this virus.

Objective:To explore the locations of the lumbosacral nerve roots by use of the magnetic stimulation.Methods:Thirty healthy subjects were studied. The projections of the right L 2 to S 1 intervertebral foramina on their body surfaces were determined manually with ultrasound assistance. Magnetic stimulation was applied to different nerve root segments to induce compound muscle action potentials (CMAP) in the vastus medialis, tibialis anterior, and gastrocnemius muscles of the lower limbs. The changes in latency, amplitude, and motor threshold were observed. Results:Magnetic stimulation on the L 2-L 3 segment resulted in a significant direct excitation of the vastus medialis. That on the L 5-S 1 segment evoked a significant direct excitatory effect on the tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius, with a motor threshold below 40%, an amplitude exceeding 1mV, and many effective responses. However, during the magnetic stimulation on the L 4 segment, the amplitude of the vastus medialis was above 1mV, with no significant differences in the number of effective responses among the muscle groups. Moreover, there was a stepwise change in the latency of effective muscle responses to magnetic stimulation at different segments. The CMAP latencies of 12+ ms for the tibialis anterior and 13+ ms for the gastrocnemius indicated activation of the L 5 and L 4 nerve roots, respectively, while those of 6+ ms, 7+ ms, and 8+ ms for the vastus medialis suggested activation of the L 4, L 3, and L 2 nerve roots, respectively. Conclusions:Based on the responses (CMAP latency, amplitude and motor threshold) of the vastus medialis, tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius to magnetic stimulation at different L 2 to S 1 segments, the spinal nerve root segments responsible for innervation can be inferred.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of chronic natural killer cell lymphoproliferative disease (CLPD-NK) associated peripheral neuropathy.Methods:The clinical data of 1 case of CLPD-NK associated peripheral neuropathy who was hospitalized in Beijing Chaoyang Hospital on March 17, 2022 were reported. The clinical characteristics, laboratory examinations, nerve biopsy, treatment and prognosis of CLPD-NK associated peripheral neuropathy were summarized in combination with domestic and foreign literature reports.Results:This patient was a 62-year-old woman with progressive weakness and numbness of limbs. Nerve conduction test revealed peripheral nerves injures of limbs. No abnormality was found in a routine biochemistry test of cerebrospinal fluid. Lymphocyte infiltration was found in the nerve bundle of sural nerve with CD56(+), TIA-1(+). After prednisone combined with cyclophosphamide treatment, her weakness and numbness of limbs were relieved, and the white blood cells count decreased. A total of 10 cases of CLPD-NK associated peripheral neuropathy were summarized, including 5 males and 5 females. The median onset age was 64 years. The peripheral blood white cells count was 5.50×10 9/L-24.66×10 9/L, the lymphocytes count was 1.54×10 9/L-32.00×10 9/L, and cerebrospinal fluid protein increased in 3 cases. Biopsy of sural nerve showed NK cell infiltration in all patients. Immunosuppression was the main treatment, and most patients had a good prognosis. Conclusions:CLPD-NK associated peripheral neuropathy is rare. Peripheral nerve biopsy is the important diagnostic method. Corticosteroids and immunosuppressants are effective for this disease.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of posterior retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy (PRA) in the prone position.Methods:The clinical data of 74 patients who underwent PRA in the prone position in our hospital from January 2019 to February 2021 were reviewed. There were 36 males and 38 females, with an average age was (54.4±12.5) years old. The body mass index was (24.03±3.5) kg/m 2. CT scans of the adrenal glands were performed before operation. There were 39 cases of adrenal tumors on the left side, 33 cases on the right side, and 2 cases on both sides. The diameter of adrenal tumors shown on CT was (2.4±1.3) cm. Among them, 22 cases were diagnosed of non-functional adrenal tumors, 21 cases were primary aldosteronism, 8 cases were Cushing syndrome, and 23 cases were pheochromocytoma . The PRA in the prone position were performed in all 74 patients(76 sides). Results:The operation was performed successfully in all 74 patients(76 sides), of which 42 cases underwent unilateral adrenalectomy, 30 cases underwent unilateral partial adrenalectomy and 2 cases underwent bilateral adrenalectomy. The operation time was (53.2±16.1) min for 76 sides, and the time of two bilateral cases was 70 min and 115 min respectively. The median time of rainage tube indwelling was 3(0, 4) d, and the hospital stay was (4.2±0.9) d. The pathological diagnosis: there were 32 cases of adrenal cortical adenoma, 8 cases of adrenal cortical hyperplasia nodule, 5 cases of adrenal cyst, 7 cases of adrenal medullary lipoma, and 22 cases of adrenal pheochromocytoma. No adverse complications occurred during the perioperative period. The patients were followed-up for (12.5±2.7) months, and no tumor recurrence or long-term complications occurred.Conclusions:Posterior retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy in the prone position has the advantages of reducing bleeding and exudation, and rapid recovery after surgery, which provides a safe and effective surgical method for the treatment of adrenal tumors.

Objective To explore the association between lipid profiles and left ventricular hypertrophy in a Chinese general population. Methods We conducted a retrospective observational study to investigate the relationship between lipid markers [including triglycerides, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, non-HDL-cholesterol, apolipoprotein A-I, apolipoprotein B, lipoprotein[a], and composite lipid profiles] and left ventricular hypertrophy. A total of 309,400 participants of two populations (one from Beijing and another from nationwide) who underwent physical examinations at different health management centers between 2009 and 2018 in China were included in the cross-sectional study. 7,475 participants who had multiple physical examinations and initially did not have left ventricular hypertrophy constituted a longitudinal cohort to analyze the association between lipid markers and the new-onset of left ventricular hypertrophy. Left ventricular hypertrophy was measured by echocardiography and defined as an end-diastolic thickness of the interventricular septum or left ventricle posterior wall > 11 mm. The Logistic regression model was used in the cross-sectional study. Cox model and Cox model with restricted cubic splines were used in the longitudinal cohort. Results In the cross-sectional study, for participants in the highest tertile of each lipid marker compared to the respective lowest, triglycerides [odds ratio (OR): 1.250, 95%CI: 1.060 to 1.474], HDL-cholesterol (OR: 0.780, 95%CI: 0.662 to 0.918), and lipoprotein(a) (OR: 1.311, 95%CI: 1.115 to 1.541) had an association with left ventricular hypertrophy. In the longitudinal cohort, for participants in the highest tertile of each lipid marker at the baseline compared to the respective lowest, triglycerides [hazard ratio (HR): 3.277, 95%CI: 1.720 to 6.244], HDL-cholesterol (HR: 0.516, 95%CI: 0.283 to 0.940), non-HDL-cholesterol (HR: 2.309, 95%CI: 1.296 to 4.112), apolipoprotein B (HR: 2.244, 95%CI: 1.251 to 4.032) showed an association with new-onset left ventricular hypertrophy. In the Cox model with forward stepwise selection, triglycerides were the only lipid markers entered into the final model. Conclusion Lipids levels, especially triglycerides, are associated with left ventricular hypertrophy. Controlling triglycerides level potentiate to be a strategy in harnessing cardiac remodeling but deserve to be further investigated.
