Objective: To explore whether the long-term and frequent use of citrate anticoagulants negatively affects the bone metabolism balance of female frequent plateletpheresis donors, so as to better protect their health. Methods: A total of 65 female plateletpheresis donors and 55 female whole-blood donors from Guangzhou Blood Center (May to December 2024) were enrolled as experimental and control groups respectively, stratified into age subgroups (18-39 years and 40-60 years). Serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide (PINP), osteocalcin (OC), and type I collagen carboxy-terminal telopeptide (CTX) were measured. Differences in bone metabolism markers between experimental and control groups across age subgroups were compared. ANOVA was used to analyze dose-response relationships between donation age, annual apheresis donation frequency, and biochemical indicators. Results: In the 40-60 age subgroup, 25(OH)D levels were significantly lower in the experimental group (P<0.05), exhibiting a linear increase with age and a linear decrease with annual donation frequency. No significant differences in CTX or PINP levels were observed between experimental and control groups in either age subgroup. Conclusion: High-frequency plateletpheresis donation does not disrupt bone metabolic balance in female donors. However, it is associated with reduced vitamin D levels in female donors aged >40 years, potentially increasing the risk of osteoporosis. Vitamin D supplementation is recommended for high-frequency female plateletpheresis donors in this age group.

Objective To construct a lung cancer surgery-oriented disease-specific database covering the entire perioperative care pathway, thereby improving the quality and usability of key surgical data elements. Methods Real-world clinical data were extracted from a single-center thoracic surgery department. A standardized data model was established based on the open electronic health record (openEHR) standard. Large language model (LLM), optical character recognition (OCR), and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven techniques were employed to extract, structure, and perform quality control on unstructured clinical narratives, imaging reports, and radiological data, with a focus on capturing surgically relevant perioperative indicator. Results A multimodal database comprising 19 917 patients was established, including 7 930 males and 11 987 females, with ages ranging from 15 to 97 (61.7±9.7) years. The database includes 582 structured data variables, textual report data corresponding to 69 clinical indicators, 13 000 pulmonary function test PDF reports, and chest CT imaging data from 16 884 patients. This database comprehensively covers major information relevant to surgical diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer, significantly improving the completeness and granularity of surgical detail data. Large language models (LLMs) and optical character recognition (OCR) technologies enhanced the efficiency of converting unstructured data into structured formats, while a multi-level manual verification process ensured data accuracy and traceability. The database supports real-world research including comparisons of surgical procedures, prediction of postoperative complications, prognosis assessment, and multimodal data association analyses.

Yttrium-90 microsphere selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT), also known as transarterial radioembolization, has become one of the pivotal treatments for liver cancer, particularly for selected advantageous patient groups. This review summarizes the characteristics of different patients with liver cancer that could obtain maximum benefit from SIRT and discusses key factors affecting efficacy and safety, including tumor characteristics, liver function, patient performance status, and treatment intent. In evaluating appropriate candidates, mapping serves as a crucial simulation procedure to assess tumor vascular anatomy, predict lung shunting, and guide catheter positioning and dose planning. This procedure substantially enhances therapeutic precision while minimizing the risk of nontarget radiation-related adverse events, such as radiation-induced pneumonitis and gastrointestinal toxicity. Several studies have suggested that SIRT is not only suitable for patients with early or limited hepatocellular carcinoma but can also be used as a bridging therapy for liver transplantation and conversion therapy for unresectable liver cancers. In combination with systemic treatments, SIRT has demonstrated survival benefits in patients with unresectable liver cancer. This review also highlights the importance of further optimizing patient screening through personalized dosimetry and mapping to ensure the precision and safety of treatment. A thorough review of relevant literature and clinical practice offers clinicians comprehensive suggestions on patient screening and clarifies the promise of SIRT in the liver cancer population.

Objective: To examine the association between school sports environment and exercise habits among college students, and to test the mediating role of weight management intention in the relationship, so as to provide empirical evidence for promoting exercise habit formation of college students. Methods: A multi stage cluster sampling survey was conducted from April 15 to May 15, 2025, among 2 687 undergraduates from 8 colleges in Beijing, Shandong, Henan, Shanxi and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in China. School Sports Environment Characteristics Questionnaire, Weight Management Behavioral Intention Questionnaire and College Students Exercise Habit Scale were used for evaluation. Pearson correlation analysis was applied to examine the correlations among the three variables. A structural equation model (SEM) was constructed using AMOS 26.0, and the mediating effect was tested using the Bootstrap method. Results: The score for school sports environment was (3.72±0.57), with scores of (3.68±0.61) for physical environment and (3.74±0.59) for social environment; the scores for weight management intention and the total exercise habit were (4.21±0.46) and (3.94±0.51). School sports environment was positively correlated with weight management intention ( r =0.56) and exercise habits ( r =0.57), and weight management intention was positively correlated with exercise habits ( r =0.71) (all P <0.01). The SEM showed that school sports environment exerted positive impact on weight management intention ( β =0.50) and exercise habits ( β =0.29), weight management intention had a significant positive path to exercise habits ( β =0.52) (all P <0.01). Weight management intention of college students played a partial mediating role in the association between school sports environment and exercise habits, with an indirect effect of 0.259, accounting for 47.01% of the total effect. Conclusions The school sports environment is positively correlated with college students exercise habits, and might indirectly facilitate habit cultivation by improving weight management intention. While optimizing the physical and social environments of school sports in colleges, colleges should place a strong emphasis on stimulating college students weight management intention to promote the formation of their exercise habits.

BACKGROUND:As a degradable scaffold material for bone tissue engineering,lactic acid is widely used in tissue regeneration and repair research,and plays an important role in promoting tissue healing,new bone formation and angiogenesis. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of lactic acid degradation products on osteoclasts and to investigate the effects of lactic-interfered osteoclast conditioned medium on the proliferation,migration and tube-forming capacity of human umbilical vein endothelial cells. METHODS:(1)The mouse monocyte macrophage cell line RAW264.7 at logarithmic growth period was selected,and adherent cells were cultured in the osteoclast induction medium(DMEM medium with nuclear factor-κB receptor-activating factor ligand and 10%fetal bovine serum)containing different concentrations of lactic acid(0,5,10,20 mmol/L).After 5 days of culture,tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining and cytoskeletal fibrillar actin staining were conducted.After 24 hours of culture,RT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5.(2)RAW264.7 cells at logarithmic growth period were selected and adherent cells were divided into two groups.Control group was cultured in the osteoclast induction medium,while experimental group was cultured in the osteoclast induction medium containing 10 mmol/L lactic acid.After 5 days of culture,the medium in each group was removed and the cells in the two groups were cultured in the serum-free DMEM medium for another 24 hours.Cell supernatant was then collected and used as the conditioned medium after mixed with an equal volume of DMEM medium containing 10%fetal bovine serum.Human umbilical vein endothelial cells at the logarithmic growth phase were taken and separately co-cultured with the conditioned medium of the control and experimental groups.The proliferation,migration and tube-forming ability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells were observed by cell counting kit-8 assay,migration assay,scratch assay and tube-forming assay.The mRNA and protein expression of angiogenesis-related genes and proteins were observed by RT-PCR and western blot. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining and cytoskeletal fibrillar actin staining showed that 5 and 10 mmol/L lactic acid promoted osteoclastic differentiation of RAW264.7 cells and the promoting effect of 10 mmol/L lactate was more significant.RT-PCR results showed that the expression of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-5 mRNA of osteoclast-related genes was the highest when the lactic acid concentration was 5,10,and 20 mmol/L(P<0.05),especially 10 mmol/L.Compared with the control group,the proliferation,migration and tube-forming abilities of human umbilical vein endothelial cells were significantly increased in the experimental group(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor and angiogenin 1 mRNA and protein were increased in the experimental group(P<0.05).To conclude,lactate-induced osteoclast conditioned medium could promote the angiogenesis of endothelial cells,and the mechanism may be related to the promotion of the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor and angiogenin 1.

Objective To study the application of autologous natural killer(NK)cells in the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma and the changes of immune function and tumor markers in patients.Methods 61 patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma admitted to Gansu Wuwei Tumour Hospital from March 2023 to April 2024 were divided into targeting group(31 cases,given supportive treatment combined with sunitinib malate capsules)and cell group(30 cases,autologous NK cells combined with targeting group)according to the patient's willingness to treat combined with propensity score matching.6 weeks was a treatment cycle,and all patients were treated for 4 cycles.The clinical efficacy of the two groups after 4 cycles of treatment and the occurrence of adverse reactions during treatment were statistically analyzed.The levels of serum cytokines,tumor markers,lymphocyte function and immune function were compared between the two groups before and after 4 cycles of treatment.Results After 4 cycles of treatment,the objective remission rate and disease control rate in the cell group were higher than those in the targeting group(P<0.05).After 4 cycles of treatment,the levels of serum hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α),vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF),platelet-derived growth factor(PDGF),carcinoembryonic antigen,carbohydrate antigen 125,carbohydrate antigen 199 and alpha-fetoprotein in the two groups were lower than those before treatment,and those in the cell group were lower than those in the targeting group(P<0.012 5).After 4 cycles of treatment,the levels of serum interleukin-2,interleukin-6,tumor necrosis factor-β,interferon-γ,peripheral blood CD3+,CD4+,NK cells and CD4+/CD8+in the two groups were higher than those before treatment.The levels of serum interleukin-2,tumor necrosis factor-β,interferon-γ,peripheral blood CD3+and NK cells in the cell group were higher than those in the targeting group(P<0.012 5).The level of CD8+in peripheral blood was lower than that before treatment(P<0.012 5),but there was no significant difference between the two groups(P>0.012 5).During the treatment,there was no significant difference in the incidence of diarrhea,nausea and vomiting,alopecia,liver function damage,decreased platelet level and decreased neutrophil level between the cell group and the targeting group(P>0.05).Conclusion The treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma with autologous NK cells could improve the level of serum cytokines,reduce the level of tumor markers,regulate the function of lymphocytes and immune function,and had a good therapeutic effect.At the same time,it would not increase the incidence of adverse reactions,and the safety was good.

Background:To compare the efficacy and safety of monthly administrations of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists LY01005 and Zoladex ? in Chinese patients with premenopausal breast cancer. Methods:From October 2020 to November 2021, 188 premenopausal breast cancer patients were enrolled in 34 hospitals and randomized 1:1 to receive either LY01005 or Zoladex ? every 28 days for a total of three injections. All patients concomitantly received oral tamoxifen (TAM). The primary efficacy endpoint was cumulative probability of maintaining menopausal level [oestradiol (E2) ≤30 pg/ml] from day 29 to day 85. The second efficacy endpoint included changes in E2, luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) compared with the baseline. Pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and safety were analyzed. The study also evaluated the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics of LY01005. Results:A total of 188 patients were randomised and 187 patients received either LY01005 or Zoladex ?. Cumulative probabilities of maintaining menopausal level (E2≤30 pg/ml) from day 29 to day 85 were 93.1% for LY01005 and 86.3% for Zoladex ?. The between-group difference was 6.8% (95% CI: -2.3%, 15.9%) and primary efficacy in the LY01005 group was not inferior to that in the Zoladex ? group. Changes in E2, LH, and FSH levels compared with the baseline were equivalent between the two groups (E2: 89.34% to 90.23% vs. 82.11% to 85.02%; LH: 88.89% to 95.52% vs. 89.70% to 97.02%; FSH: 75.36% to 80.85% vs.73.07% to 80.24%, respectively). After three consecutive doses of LY01005, the LH and FSH levels of the subjects showed a transient increase after the first dose, reached a peak on the second day and then started to decrease. The LH and FSH reached a lower level and remained at or below that level until the 85th day. Both treatments were well-tolerated. Conclusion:LY01005 is as effective as Zoladex ? in suppressing E2 to menopausal levels in Chinese patients with premenopausal breast cancer, with a similar safety profile.

Esophageal scar stenosis following chemical burns is a common and complex clinical issue.According to the Zargar classification,approximately 90％of patients with third-degree burns and 15％-30％of those with second-degree burns will develop esophageal or pyloric stenosis.Personalized treatment strategies tailored to the specifics of esophageal stenosis are particularly important.This review focuses on the selection of anastomotic sites during esophageal reconstruction following chemical burns and summarizes perioperative evaluations and timing of surgery.Overall,the treatment strategy for esophageal scar stenosis emphasizes personalized medicine,taking into account the characteristics of the stenosis and carefully selecting the most suitable surgical approach to achieve optimal therapeutic outcomes.

Objective To investigate the current situation of frailty in patients with home peritoneal dialysis and analyze its influencing factors,so as to provide bases for early identification of high-risk groups and targeted clinical intervention.Methods From October to December 2024,205 home-based peritoneal dialysis patients under long-term follow-up at a tertiary A hospital in Zhongshan,Guangdong Province,were selected by convenience sampling.The General Information Questionnaire,Fried Phenotype Scale,Nutritional Risk Screening Tool,Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale,and Social Support Rating Scale were used to investigate the influencing factors of frailty in home-based peritoneal dialysis patients by ordinal logistic regression analysis.Results A total of 201 valid questionnaires were collected.The prevalence of frailty among home-based peritoneal dialysis patients was 24.3％,while 39.3％were in the pre-frailty stage,and 36.3％showed no frailty.0rdinal logistic regression analysis revealed that age,residence location,primary disease,sleep status,serum albumin concentration,and exercise self-efficacy level were influencing factors of frailty in the home peritoneal dialysis patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion The incidence of frailty in patients with home peritoneal dialysis is higher,and patients with advanced age,living in rural areas,other types of primary diseases,insomnia,low serum albumin concentration and low exercise self-efficacy are more likely to develop frailty.Specialist doctors and nurses of peritoneal dialysis should pay attention to the early screening of frailty in patients with peritoneal dialysis at home,and take personalized intervention measures to prevent or delay the occurrence of frailty according to the relevant risk factors.
