Objective:To identify independent risk factors for early recurrence following curative resection of resectable pancreatic cancer and establish a nomogram prediction model.Methods:Clinical data from 405 patients with resectable pancreatic cancer treated at Renji Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from February 2010 to December 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were stratified into a training cohort (265 patients form February 2010 to December 2018) and a validation cohort (140 patients from January 2019 to December 2020) based on surgery dates. Optimal cutoff values for clinical variables were determined using X-tile software. Independent risk factors were identified through univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses. Kaplan-Meier curves for recurrence-free survival (RFS) were generated across subgroups, and a nomogram was developed to predict early recurrence (within 1 year post-surgery). Time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (tROC) curves was drawn and area under the curve (AUC) metrics were utilized to evaluate predictive accuracy, while model reliability was assessed by calibration curves. Individualized risk scores derived from the nomogram were stratified into high- and low-risk groups using X-tile-derived cutoff values. Survival differences between groups were analyzed via log-rank tests. The clinical application value was judged by decision curve analysis (DCA) compared to TNM staging. Results:In the training cohort, 139 patients (52.45%) experienced early recurrence, with a median RFS of 11.1 months [interquartile range ( IQR): 6.0-26.0]. The validation cohort reported 70 early recurrences (50.00%) and a median RFS of 11.8 months ( IQR: 4.9-21.4). Univariate analysis revealed significant associations between early recurrence and tumor diameter, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), systemic immune-inflammation index (SⅡ), and prognostic nutritional index (PNI). Multivariate analysis identified tumor diameter ≥3.75 cm ( HR=1.718, 95% CI 1.223-2.412, P=0.002), CA19-9≥218 U/ml ( HR=1.567, 95% CI 1.107-2.220, P=0.011), CA125≥20.98 U/ml ( HR=2.501, 95% CI 1.768-3.539, P<0.001), SⅡ≥388.28 ( HR=1.708, 95% CI 1.096-2.662, P=0.018), and PNI<53.18 ( HR=0.596, 95% CI 0.404-0.879, P=0.009) as independent risk factors for early recurrence. The nomogram achieved AUC values of 0.771 and 0.708 in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. Calibration curves demonstrated strong agreement between predicted and observed survival probabilities. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed significantly lower 1-year RFS rates in high-risk versus low-risk groups for both cohorts (training: HR=3.65, 95% CI 2.45-5.44, P<0.001; validation: HR=2.37, 95% CI 1.39-4.06, P=0.001). DCA indicated superior net benefit of the nomogram over TNM staging across threshold probabilities of 0.2-0.9. Conclusions:The proposed nomogram effectively integrates clinical and serological biomarkers to preoperatively assess early recurrence risk in resectable pancreatic cancer patients, offering enhanced precision for clinical decision-making.

Objective: To explore relationship of sleep quality with overweight and obesity among middle school students, so as to provide a reference basis for improving adolescent sleep health. Methods: From September to December 2023, 5 713 middle school students aged 13 to 18 were selected by stratified cluster random sampling method in six regions, including Shanghai, Suzhou, Taiyuan, Wuyuan, Xingyi and Urumqi. Sleep quality survey was conducted on middle school students by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Height and weight were measured, and World Health Organization s standards for growth and development of children and adolescents was used to evaluate their nutritional status. Both χ 2 test and Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the association between sleep quality and nutritional status of middle school students. Results: The non compliance detection rate of sleep quality was 38.4% among girls, but 29.2% among boys, and the difference was of statistical significance( χ 2=54.08, P < 0.01 ). The detection rate of substandard sleep quality was 34.2% in the group with normal nutritional status, 38.3% in the group with overweight, 43.7% in the group with obesity and 26.0% in the group with emaciation, and the difference in the rates of substandard sleep quality among middle school students of different nutritional status was statistically significant ( χ 2=68.15, P <0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that, after controlling for mental health and physical activity, the detection rate of substandard sleep quality in the obese groups was 1.30 times higher than that in the normal group, respectively( OR =1.30, 95% CI =1.06- 1.59 , P <0.01). Conclusions Sleep quality is correlated with overweight and obesity among middle school students, and there are gender differences. Intervention policies should be formulated according to the characteristics of different genders.

Objective To externally validate a prediction model based on clinical and CT imaging features for the preoperative identification of high-grade patterns (HGP), such as micropapillary and solid subtypes, in early-stage lung adenocarcinoma, in order to guide clinical treatment decisions. Methods This study conducted an external validation of a previously developed prediction model using a cohort of patients with clinical stage ⅠA lung adenocarcinoma from the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University. The model, which incorporated factors including tumor size, density, and lobulation, was assessed for its discrimination, calibration performance, and clinical impact. Results A total of 650 patients (293 males, 357 females; age range: 30-82 years) were included. The validation showed that the model demonstrated good performance in discriminating HGP (area under the curve>0.7). After recalibration, the model's calibration performance was improved. Decision curve analysis (DCA) indicated that at a threshold probability>0.6, the number of HGP patients predicted by the model closely approximated the actual number of cases. Conclusion This study confirms the effectiveness of a clinical and imaging feature-based prediction model for identifying HGP in stage ⅠA lung adenocarcinoma in a clinical setting. Successful application of this model may be significant for determining surgical strategies and improving patients' prognosis. Despite certain limitations, these findings provide new directions for future research.

AIM:To compare the recovery of psy-chomotor function after intravenous anesthesia with remazolam or propofol compound alfentanil in patients undergoing painless gastrointestinal en-doscopy.METHODS:78 patients undergoing pain-less gastrointestinal endoscopy were randomly di-vided into group RA and group PA.Remiazolam or propofol combined with alfentanil were given intra-venously in group RA or group PA.The blood pres-sure,heart rate,respiratory rate and saturation of puls oxygen were recorded before procdure(T1),during checking(T2),awaking from anaesthesia(T3)and at discharging from PACU(T4).Psychomo-tor function,as measured by the Trieger's dot test(TDT)and digit symbol substitution test(DSST),were evaluated before anesthesia(T1),at discharg-ing from PACU(T4),1 h(T5)and 2 h(T6)after checking.RESULTS:From assessment of the TDT,number of dots missed(NDM),maximum distance of dots missed(MDDM)and average distance of dots missed(ADDM)at T4,T5 were significantly lower than those at T1 in two groups.The comple-tion rates and accuracy rates of DSST at T4,T5 were significantly lower than those at T1.Results of TDT and DSST at T6 were not significantly differ-ent to those at T1.The results of NDT,MDDM and ADDM at T4,T5 in group RA were significantly low-er than those in group PA.The completion rates and accuracy rates of DSST at T4,T5 in group RA increased significantly compared with group PA.Compared to group PA,the incidence of hypoten-sion was significantly lower in group RA.There was no significant difference in the incidence of respira-tory depression between the two groups.CONCLU-SION:Psychomotor function was fully recovered 2 h after surgery when remazolam compound alfent-anil was used for painless gastrointestinal endosco-py.Compared with propofol,psychomotor function recovery in the remazolam group was faster and there were fewer adverse effects after surgery in group RA.

Objective:To investigate the causal association between immune cell and different types of sepsis by using Mendelian randomization (MR) method, and to find the immune cell phenotypes causally associated with sepsis.Methods:Summary data for various circulating immune cell phenotypes were obtained from the GWAS catalog (GCST90001391-GCST90002121). Sepsis data were sourced from the UK Biobank database. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) were used as instrumental variables. The correlation threshold of P < 5×10 -6 was used to identify the strongly correlated instrumental variables, and the code was used to remove the linkage disequilibrium and the instrumental variables with F-value < 10. Inverse variance weighting (IVW) was used as the main research method to evaluate the stability and reliability of the results, including Cochran's Q test, MR-Egger regression and Leave one out. Reverse MR analysis was performed based on the immunophenotypic results of the removal of horizontal pleiotropy, and the immune cell phenotype with one-way causal association was obtained. Odds ratio ( OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were used to represent the effect value of the results. Results:CD16 on CD14 -CD16 + monocyte had horizontal pleiotropy in sepsis ( OR = 0.965?4, 95% CI was 0.933?5-0.998?3, P = 0.039?6). There were five immunophenotypes that had reverse causal associations with the types associated with sepsis. After excluding immune cell phenotypes with horizontal pleiotropy and reverse causation, a total of 42 immune cell phenotypes with sepsis, 36 immune cell phenotypes with sepsis (28-day death in critical care), 32 immune cell phenotypes with sepsis (critical care), 44 immune cell phenotypes with sepsis (28-day death), and 30 immune cell phenotypes had potential causal associations with sepsis (under 75 years old). After false discovery rate (FDR) correction, the correlations between BAFF-R on IgD - CD38br and sepsis (28-day death) were negative and strong ( OR = 0.737?8, 95% CI was 0.635?9-0.856?0, P = 6.05×10 -5, PFDR = 0.044?2). Conclusion:A variety of immune cell phenotypes may have a protective effect on sepsis, especially BAFF-R on IgD - CD38br expression is negatively correlated with sepsis (28-day death), which provides a new idea for immune modulation therapy in sepsis.

Objective:To evaluate the application of modular teaching program in the clinical competence training for community general practitioners.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. A 140 teaching hour-modular training program was designed by the authors on the basis of the previous training experience and conducted in clinical competence training for 20 general practitioners (study group) from all 10 community health service centers in Shanghai Huangpu district between September 2022 and April 2023; and 26 general practitioners who planned to participate in the next batch of training courses were enrolled as the control group. The clinical competence assessment was conducted in May 2023, including knowledge level tests and clinical skill assessment. By comparing the scores of clinical competence assessment and satisfaction survey between two groups, the training effectiveness was evaluated.Results:Among the 46 general practitioners, 33 (71.7%) were female, aged 27 to 47 (37±6), working in general practice for 2 to 25 (9.4±5.5) years, 31 (67.4%) had participated in standardized residency training for general practice and 31 (67.4%) were contracted family doctors. The total score of 46 general practitioners was 69.7±9.6, and 68.9±8.6 for knowledge level and 69.8±10.6 for clinical skills. The total scores and single scores of trained participants were all significantly higher than those of untrained(all P<0.05). The multiple linear regression model showed that after controlling for gender, age, educational background, professional title, years of working in general practice, participation in standardized residency training, and status as a contracted family doctor, the trained participants had significantly higher scores in history collection, pediatric reception, indwelling gastric tube and abdominal puncture (all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the scores in knowledge level test, nervous system physical examination, SOAP medical record writing, and tutorium between the trained and untrained groups (all P>0.05). Among 20 general practitioners who completed training, the overall satisfaction score of the training program was 4.3±0.7 points, including 4.3±0.6 for the training course, 4.3±0.7 for teachers, and 4.3±0.7 for the organization and arrangement; 85% of the participants considered the training to be very helpful or helpful for improving their competence, and 90% considered the training to be very helpful or helpful for their future work. Conclusion:Modular teaching program is helpful to improve the clinical competence of community general practitioners, especially in clinical skills.

Purpose: Gastric cancer (GC) is among the deadliest malignancies and the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Galectin-1 (Gal-1) is a primary protein secreted by cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs); however, its role and mechanisms of action of Gal-1 in GC remain unclear. In this study, we stimulated GC cells with exogenous human recombinant galectin-1 protein (rhGal-1) to investigate its effects on the proliferation, migration, and resistance to cisplatin. Materials and Methods: We used simulated rhGal-1 protein as a paracrine factor produced by CAFs to induce GC cells and investigated its promotional effects and mechanisms in GC progression and cisplatin resistance. Immunohistochemical (IHC) assay confirmed that Gal-1 expression was associated with clinicopathological parameters and correlated with the expression of neuropilin-1 (NRP-1), c-JUN, and Wee1. Results: Our study reveals Gal-1 expression was significantly associated with poor outcomes.Gal-1 boosts the proliferation and metastasis of GC cells by activating the NRP-1/C-JUN/ Wee1 pathway. Gal-1 notably increases GC cell resistance to cisplatin The NRP-1 inhibitor, EG00229, effectively counteracts these effects. Conclusions These findings revealed a potential mechanism by which Gal-1 promotes GC growth and contributes to chemoresistance, offering new therapeutic targets for the treatment of GC.
