OBJECTIVES: To investigate the impact of prenatal fear stress on placental amino acid transport and emotion and cognition development in offspring rats. METHODS: Thirty pregnant Wistar rats were randomized equally into control and fear stress (induced using an observational foot shock model) groups. In each group, placental and serum samples were collected from 6 dams on gestational day 20, and the remaining rats delivered naturally and the offspring rats were raised under the same conditions until 8 weeks of age. Emotional and cognitive outcomes of the offspring rats were assessed with behavioral tests, and placental structure was examined using HE staining. Bioinformatics analysis was used to identify differentially expressed placental transporter genes under fear stress. The expressions of system A and system L amino acid transporters, along with other specialized transporters, were detected using qRT-PCR and Western blotting. Fetal serum amino acid concentrations were determined by HPLC. The correlations between fetal amino acid levels and behavioral outcomes of the offspring rats were analyzed. RESULTS: The dams with fear stress showed reduced open-field activity and increased freezing behavior with significantly decreased placental weight, fetal weight, and fetal-to-placental ratio. Bioinformatics analysis revealed 28 differentially expressed transporter genes involved mainly in amino acid transport. In the fear stress group, fetal serum amino acid levels were significantly lowered and Slc38a1, Slc43a1, Slc43a2, Slc7a8, Slc6a6, Slc1a1 and Slc6a9 mRNA and protein expressions were all downregulated. The offspring rats in fear stress group exhibited decreased novel object preference and spontaneous alternation with reduced open arm exploration and increased immobility in emotional tests. Lower early-life amino acid levels was found to correlate with impaired adult cognition. CONCLUSIONS Prenatal fear stress in rats impairs placental amino acid transporter expression and reduces fetal serum amino acid levels, potentially contributing to long-term cognitive deficits in the offspring rats.

BACKGROUND: Lung adenocarcinoma is an important pathohistologic subtype of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Invasive non-mucinous pulmonary adenocarcinomas (INMA) tend to have a poor prognosis due to their significant heterogeneity and diverse histologic components. Establishing a histologic grading system for INMA is crucial for evaluating its malignancy. In 2021, the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) proposed that a new histological grading system could better stratify the prognosis of INMA patients. The aim of this study was to establish a visualized nomogram model to predict INMA IASLC grading preoperatively by means of dual-energy computed tomography (DECT), fractal dimension (FD), clinical features and conventional CT parameters. METHODS: A total of 112 patients with INMA who underwent preoperative DECT were retrospectively enrolled from March 2021 to January 2025. Patients were categorized into low-intermediate grade and high grade groups based on IASLC grading. The clinical characteristics and conventional CT parameters, including baseline features, biochemical markers, and serum tumor markers, were collected. DECT-derived parameters, including iodine concentration (IC), effective atomic number (eff-Z), and normalized IC (NIC), were collected and determined as NIC ratio (NICr) and fractal dimension (FD). Univariate analysis was employed to compare differences in conventional characteristics and DECT parameters between the two groups. Variables demonstrating statistical significance were subsequently incorporated into a multivariate Logistic regression analysis. A nomogram model integrating clinical data, conventional CT parameters, and DECT parameters was developed to identify independent predictors for IASLC grading of INMA. The discriminatory performance of the model was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. RESULTS: Multivariate analysis identified smoking history [odds ratio (OR)=2.848, P=0.041], lobulation sign (OR=2.163, P=0.004), air bronchogram (OR=7.833, P=0.005), eff-Z in arterial phase (OR=4.266, P<0.001), and IC in arterial phase (OR=1.290, P=0.012) as independent and significant predictors for IASLC grading of INMA. The nomogram model constructed based on these indicators demonstrated optimal predictive performance, achieving an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.804 (95%CI: 0.725-0.883), with specificity and sensitivity of 85.3% and 65.7%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The nomogram model based on clinical features, imaging features and spectral CT parameters have a large potential for application in the preoperative noninvasive assessment of INMA IASLC grading.

Objective:To explore the application value of the combination of failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) and work breakdown structure (WBS) on management of telemetry monitoring system. Methods:Seven sets of used telemetry monitoring systems in Huzhou Third People's Hospital from March 2022 to April 2024 were selected. The routine mode was used to manage the telemetry monitoring systems from March 2022 to February 2023,and the management mode of telemetry monitoring systems based on FMEA and WBS was adopted to manage the telemetry monitoring systems from May 2023 to April 2024. FMEA method was used to analyze the quantitative risk scores of various failures in 1740 uses of the telemetry monitoring system from March 2022 to February 2023,and the fault type was represented by Fx. According to the risk quantification score,the top 5 failure types included poor radio frequency (RF) signal (F2),larger pseudo-interference (F3) of electrocardiogram (ECG),abnormal measurement of blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) (F6),excessive movement and mistake touch (F8) of patients,and identification (ID) number error (F9) of telemetry emission box. WBS quality management method combined with tree chart,countermeasure fishbone chart,task assignment matrix and other tools were performed to conduct the setting of expected objectives,countermeasure analysis,task formulation and work implementation of management of telemetry monitoring system. The above indicators were compared with the changes of the top 5 failure risk grading and incidence of failure in 1850 uses of management of telemetry monitoring system from May 2023 to April 2024. Results:After the telemetry monitoring system was used to conduct management,the risk grading of the F2,F3,F6,F8 and F9 failures with highest risk grading reduced respectively to low grade,middle grade,middle grade,low grade and middle grade. At the same time,the number of F2,F3,F6,F8,F9 failures with the highest risk grading and total failures were respectively 91,89,39,45,39 and 478 times,and the incidence rates of them were 4.92％,4.81％,2.11％,2.43％,2.11％ and 25.84％,which were significantly lower than those of adopting conventional management methods. The differences of them between two methods were statistically significant (x2=2.125,6.911,9.099,2.261,2.431,32.491,P<0.05). Conclusion:The management of combined quality management method of FMEA and WBS for telemetry monitoring system can reduce risk grading and incidence rate of equipment failure,and ensure the safety of equipment in clinical use.
