Objective To analyze survival outcomes and influencing factors among patients with colorectal cancer in Yunnan Province. Methods Clinical data were retrospectively collected from 4 892 patients with colorectal cancer. Survival data were obtained through follow-up. Overall survival (OS) was calculated by using the Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate analysis was performed by applying the log-rank test. Meanwhile, multivariate analysis employed the Cox proportional hazards regression model. Results The 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year OS rates for the entire cohort were 91.90%, 74.40%, 64.40%, and 28.70%, respectively. Univariate analysis revealed that age, ethnicity, region, differentiation grade, TNM stage, clinical stage, metastatic status, histological type, and treatment modality (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery) were associated with patient prognosis (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis identified age (HR=1.250), region (HR=1.262), differentiation grade (HR=0.761), clinical stage (HR=3.128), and treatment modality (chemotherapy, HR=0.644; radiotherapy, HR=1.605; surgery, HR=0.384) as independent factors affecting survival prognosis in patients with colorectal cancer (all P<0.001). Conclusion Age, region, clinical stage, and treatment modality are independent factors influencing survival among patients with colorectal cancer in Yunnan Province. In clinical practice, these factors should be integrated to develop individualized prevention and treatment strategies, thereby improving patient outcomes.

Current formulation of objective performance criteria (OPC) in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) faces methodological challenges, including poor reporting quality, insufficient standardization of methods, limited comparability of study populations, and inadequate consideration of the genetic and environment particularities of ethnic minority populations. In response to these issues, this paper proposes optimization strategies for setting OPC in TCM, with particular attention to ethnic minority medicine. These include improving methodological techniques and statistical descriptions, ensuring transparency in meta-analyses and data sources; standardizing the estimation of point estimates and confidence intervals, and incorporating multidisciplinary expert consensus for value determination; introducing local real-world data from the same period, especially cohort study evidence, to compensate for the lack of high-quality randomized controlled trial data. Through process transparency and dynamic updating mechanisms, the credibility of OPC method can be enhanced, thereby providing methodological support for strengthening evidence-based research capacity in this field.

The sirtuin 1(SIRT1)is an important NAD+-dependent deacetylase that has attracted much attention in ophthalmic research in recent years. This is because the expression of SIRT1 in ocular tissues and its function are inextricably linked to the pathogenesis and progression of many ocular diseases, including dry eye, glaucoma, cataract and diabetic retinopathy. Through in-depth investigations, we have found that SIRT1, as a key regulatory protein, has a profound impact on the pathophysiological processes of ocular diseases through a variety of mechanisms, such as regulating apoptotic programs, modulating oxidative stress, mediating inflammatory responses and maintaining normal mitochondrial function. These findings indicate that SIRT1 plays an important protective role in ocular diseases. The aim of this article is to comprehensively review the latest research findings on SIRT1 in ophthalmic diseases in recent years, and hopes to provide new ideas and methods for the prevention and treatment of ophthalmic diseases by thoroughly analyzing the mechanism of action of SIRT1.

ObjectiveTo investigate the influencing factors for recompensation in patients with decompensated hepatitis C cirrhosis, and to establish a predictive model. MethodsA total of 217 patients who were diagnosed with decompensated hepatitis C cirrhosis and were admitted to The Third People’s Hospital of Kunming l from January, 2019 to December, 2022 were enrolled, among whom 63 patients who were readmitted within at least 1 year and had no portal hypertension-related complications were enrolled as recompensation group, and 154 patients without recompensation were enrolled as control group. Related clinical data were collected, and univariate and multivariate analyses were performed for the factors that may affect the occurrence of recompensation. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed measurement data between two groups, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed measurement data between two groups; the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. A binary Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the influencing factors for recompensation in patients with decompensated hepatitis C cirrhosis, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to assess the predictive performance of the model. ResultsAmong the 217 patients with decompensated hepatitis C cirrhosis, 63 (29.03%) had recompensation. There were significant differences between the recompensation group and the control group in HIV history (χ2=4.566, P=0.034), history of partial splenic embolism (χ2=6.687, P=0.014), Child-Pugh classification (χ2=11.978, P=0.003), grade of ascites (χ2=14.229, P<0.001), albumin (t=4.063, P<0.001), prealbumin (Z=-3.077, P=0.002), high-density lipoprotein (t=2.854, P=0.011), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (Z=-2.447, P=0.014), prothrombin time (Z=-2.441, P=0.015), carcinoembryonic antigen (Z=-2.113, P=0.035), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) (Z=-2.063, P=0.039), CA125 (Z=-2.270, P=0.023), TT3 (Z=-3.304, P<0.001), TT4 (Z=-2.221, P=0.026), CD45+ (Z=-2.278, P=0.023), interleukin-5 (Z=-2.845, P=0.004), tumor necrosis factor-α (Z=-2.176, P=0.030), and portal vein width (Z=-5.283, P=0.005). The multivariate analysis showed that history of partial splenic embolism (odds ratio [OR]=3.064, P=0.049), HIV history (OR=0.195, P=0.027), a small amount of ascites (OR=3.390, P=0.017), AFP (OR=1.003, P=0.004), and portal vein width (OR=0.600, P<0.001) were independent influencing factors for the occurrence of recompensation in patients with decompensated hepatitis C cirrhosis. The ROC curve analysis showed that HIV history, grade of ascites, history of partial splenic embolism, AFP, portal vein width, and the combined predictive model of these indices had an area under the ROC curve of 0.556, 0.641, 0.560, 0.589, 0.745, and 0.817, respectively. ConclusionFor patients with decompensated hepatitis C cirrhosis, those with a history of partial splenic embolism, a small amount of ascites, and an increase in AFP level are more likely to experience recompensation, while those with a history of HIV and an increase in portal vein width are less likely to experience recompensation.

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, computational pathology has been seamlessly integrated into the entire clinical workflow, which encompasses diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and biomarker discovery. This integration has significantly enhanced clinical accuracy and efficiency while reducing the workload for clinicians. Traditionally, research in this field has depended on the collection and labeling of large datasets for specific tasks, followed by the development of task-specific computational pathology models. However, this approach is labor intensive and does not scale efficiently for open-set identification or rare diseases. Given the diversity of clinical tasks, training individual models from scratch to address the whole spectrum of clinical tasks in the pathology workflow is impractical, which highlights the urgent need to transition from task-specific models to foundation models (FMs). In recent years, pathological FMs have proliferated. These FMs can be classified into three categories, namely, pathology image FMs, pathology image-text FMs, and pathology image-gene FMs, each of which results in distinct functionalities and application scenarios. This review provides an overview of the latest research advancements in pathological FMs, with a particular emphasis on their applications in oncology. The key challenges and opportunities presented by pathological FMs in precision oncology are also explored.

ObjectiveTo investigate the association between albumin (Alb) and recompensation by comparing recompensation rate between hepatitis B/C virus-related decompensated liver cirrhosis patients with different Alb levels, and to provide guidance for the identification and management of high-risk patients in clinical practice. MethodsRelated clinical data were collected from 734 patients with hepatitis B/C virus-related decompensated liver cirrhosis who attended The Third People’s Hospital of Kunming from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2022, and they were divided into three groups based on the level of Alb. The linear regression analysis and chi-square test were used for trend tests. The Kaplan-Meier curve was plotted for the cumulative incidence rate of recompensation in the three groups, and the log-rank test was used for comparison between groups. A Cox proportional-hazards regression model analysis was used to investigate the association between Alb and recompensation in patients with hepatitis B/C virus-related decompensated liver cirrhosis. ResultsAmong the 734 patients with hepatitis B/C virus-related decompensated liver cirrhosis, 270 achieved recompensation, with a recompensation rate of 36.8%. All patients had a median Alb level of 29.90 (25.90 — 34.80) g/L on admission, and according to the level of Alb, they were divided into <25.9 g/L group with 177 patients, 25.9 — 34.8 g/L group with 377 patients, and >34.8 g/L group with 180 patients; 36 patients (20.3%) in the <25.9 g/L group, 138 (36.6%) in the 25.9 — 34.8 g/L group, and 96 (53.3%) in the >34.8 g/L group achieved recompensation, and the recompensation rate increased with the increase in Alb level (χ2=41.730, P<0.001). After adjustment for all confounding factors, compared with the <25.9 g/L group, there was a significant increase in the incidence rate of recompensation in the 25.9 — 34.8 g/L group (hazard ratio [HR]=1.842, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.274 — 2.663) and the >34.8 g/L group (HR=2.336, 95% CI: 1.575 — 3.463). The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that there was a significant difference in the cumulative incidence rate of recompensation between the three groups (χ2=41.632, P<0.001). ConclusionAlb level is an influencing factor for recompensation in patients with hepatitis B/C virus-related decompensated liver cirrhosis, and the recompensation rate increases with the increase in Alb level.
