Risk prediction models for postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) can assist healthcare professionals in assessing the likelihood of PPCs occurring after surgery, thereby supporting rapid decision-making. This study evaluated the merits, limitations, and challenges of these models, focusing on model types, construction methods, performance, and clinical applications. The findings indicate that current risk prediction models for PPCs following lung cancer surgery demonstrate a certain level of predictive effectiveness. However, there are notable deficiencies in study design, clinical implementation, and reporting transparency. Future research should prioritize large-scale, prospective, multi-center studies that utilize multiomics approaches to ensure robust data for accurate predictions, ultimately facilitating clinical translation, adoption, and promotion.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of the modified of Bazhentang combined with Guishentang in improving pregnancy outcomes in mouse models of embryo implantation dysfunction by regulating T helper 1/T helper 2 （Th1/Th2） immune balance. MethodsEighty ICR female mice were randomly divided into four groups （n=20 per group） on gestational day 1 （GD1）： control， model， western medicine， and traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） groups. Except for the control group， all mice received mifepristone solution （0.2 mg/mouse） via oral gavage on GD4 to induce embryo implantation dysfunction. The TCM group received a water decoction of the modified of Bazhentang combined with Guishentang （20.8 g·kg^-1）， with the western medicine group administered dydrogesterone （3.9 mg·kg^-1）， and the control/model groups given equal volumes of saline. All treatments were administered once daily from GD1 until one day before sample collection. Outcomes included implantation site counts （macroscopic observation）， pregnancy rates， body weight， endometrial histopathology （hematoxylin-eosin staining）， uterine expression of T-box expressed in T cells （T-bet）， GATA-binding protein 3 （GATA3）， interferon gamma （IFN-γ）， and interleukin-4 （IL-4） at protein （Western blot） and mRNA （real-time polymerase chain reaction， Real-time PCR） levels， serum IFN-γ and IL-4 levels （enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay， ELISA）， and Th1/Th2 immune balance evaluated by calculating T-bet/GATA3 and IFN-γ/IL-4 ratios. ResultsCompared to the control group， the model group showed no significant change in pregnancy rate but exhibited a marked reduction in average implantation sites and body weight （P<0.01）. Histopathological analysis revealed endometrial abnormalities， including decreased glandular density， stromal compaction， and absence of nucleolar vacuoles. At the molecular level， uterine tissue in the model group demonstrated significantly upregulated expression of T-bet and IFN-γ （P<0.05， P<0.01）， alongside markedly downregulated GATA3 and IL-4 expression （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Serum analysis confirmed markedly elevated IFN-γ （P<0.01） and reduced IL-4 levels （P<0.01）， resulting in significantly increased T-bet/GATA3 and IFN-γ/IL-4 ratios （P<0.01）. Compared to the model group， pregnancy rates in all treatment groups showed no significant change. Implantation sites and body weight increased substantially （P<0.01）， with restored endometrial morphology characterized by enhanced glandular density， stromal edema， and reappearance of nucleolar vacuoles. Significant downregulation of T-bet and IFN-γ （P<0.01） and upregulation of GATA3 and IL-4 （P<0.05， P<0.01） in uterine tissue were observed. Serum IFN-γ levels were significantly reduced （P<0.05， P<0.01）， while IL-4 levels were significantly elevated （P<0.05）. The Th1/Th2 ratios were significantly decreased （P<0.01）. ConclusionThe modified of Bazhentang combined with Guishentang significantly enhances the number of embryo implantation sites in mice with embryo implantation dysfunction， potentially through modulating T-bet/GATA3 expression， restoring Th1/Th2 immune balance， and improving endometrial receptivity.

Objective:To explore the value of magnetic resonance examination in distinguishing invasive and non-invasive pancreatic solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPN).Methods:The clinical and MRI data of 167 patients with SPN who underwent surgery and were pathologically diagnosed at Zhongshan Hospital ,Fudan University from Oct 2013 to Oct 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:There was no statistically significant difference between invasive and non-invasive SPN in terms of age, gender, clinical symptoms, laboratory tests, location, growth pattern, tumor size, relationship with the pancreas, bleeding, and pancreatic duct dilation ( P>0.05). However, there were statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of tumor morphology, margins, capsule, cystic solid ratio, pancreatic atrophy, enhancement pattern, and enhancement features ( P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve for the combined indicators (tumor morphology, margins, capsule, cystic solid ratio, and pancreatic atrophy) was 0.679 (95% CI: 0.594-0.764), with a sensitivity of 73.7% and specificity of 70.9%. Conclusion:Magnetic resonance examination is helpful in distinguishing invasive and non-invasive pancreatic solid pseudopapillary neoplasms.

Objective:To explore the microbiological and disease distribution characteristics of multidrug-resistant bacteria in patients hospitalized in a critical care rehabilitation ward, and to analyze the risk factors leading to multidrug-resistant bacterial infections.Methods:Microbiology screening data describing 679 patients admitted to a critical care rehabilitation ward were retrospectively analyzed to divide the subjects into a multidrug-resistant group (positive for multidrug-resistant bacterial infections, n=166) and a non-multidrug-resistant group (negative for multidrug-resistant bacterial infections, n=513). The risk factors were then analyzed using logistic regression. Results:Among 369 strains of multidrug-resistant bacteria observed, 329 were gram-negative bacteria (89.2%), mainly Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli. They were distributed in sputum (56.9%) and mid-epidemic urine (28.2%) specimens. Patients whose primary disease was hemorrhagic or ischemic cerebrovascular disease accounted for 40.96% and 23.49% of the multidrug-resistant bacterial infections, respectively. Logistic regression analysis showed that albumin level, dependence on mechanical ventilation, central venous cannulation, or an indwelling urinary catheter or cystostomy tube were significant independent predictors of such infections.Conclusion:The multidrug-resistant bacterial infections of patients admitted to the critically ill rehabilitation unit are mainly caused by gram-negative bacteria. Their occurrence is closely related to low albumin levels and mechanical ventilation, as well as to bearing an indwelling central venous catheter, a urinary catheter or a cystostomy catheter.

Objective To sinicize the long and short forms of the English version of the visually induced mo-tion sickness susceptibility questionnaire(VIMSSQ)and to test the validity and reliability of the Chinese version of the questionnaire among college students.Methods The Chinese version of the VIMSSQ was sinicized using Brislin's translation model,the translated scale was cross-culturally adapted through expert consultation.At last,the Chinese version of the questionnaire survey was conducted among 757 college students,and 80 college students were selected to fill out the simulator sickness questionnaire(SSQ)at the same time to do a correlation analysis in order to verify the predictive efficacy of the scale,and the reliability and validity results of the scale were analyzed to form the Chinese version of the VIMSSQ.Results The total Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the long form question-naire was 0.94,and the alpha coefficients of the five factors were 0.85,0.85,0.85,0.84,and 0.83 respectively.The total retest reliability was 0.79,and the retest reliabilities of the five factors were 0.73,0.77,0.76,0.66,and 0.62 respectively.The split-half reliability was 0.84.The total Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the short form ques-tionnaire was 0.83,and the retest reliability was 0.81,and the split-half reliability was 0.77.The item-level con-tent validity index(I-CVI)for the long and short forms and the average scale-level content validity(scale-level con-tent validity index/average,S-CVI/Ave)were both 1.VIMSSQ scores for both the long and short forms were sig-nificantly correlated with the SSQ,with r=0.76(P＜0.001)between the long form and the SSQ,and with r=0.77(P＜0.001)between the short form and the SSQ.Conclusion The Chinese version of the VIMSSQ has good reliability and validity among college students,and can be used as a measurement tool to evaluate college students'susceptibility to visually induced motion sickness.
