Objective To assess the effect of early nutritional intervention on the patients with respiratory diseases at nutritional risk. Methods A total of 130 patients with respiratory disease who were hospitalized in Shanghai Fifth People’s Hospital, Fudan University between May 2023 and December 2024 and had a nutritional risk screening 2002 score ≥3 points. Based on the initiation time of nutritional intervention, patients were divided into an early group (≤5 days, n=65) and a late group (>5 days, n=65). Results In the early group, prealbumin (P-ALB) and retinol-binding protein (RBP) levels were significantly higher (P<0.01), C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT) levels were significantly lower after intervention (P<0.05). Compared with the late group, the hospital costs were lower and hospital stays were shorter in the early group (P<0.001). Spearman analysis showed ALB, P-ALB, and total protein (TP) were negatively correlated with hospital costs (r=-0.37, -0.20, and-0.22, P<0.05). RBP, ALB, P-ALB, and lymphocyte count (LYM) were negatively correlated with CRP (r=-0.30, -0.26, -0.37, -0.18, P<0.01), RBP, ALB, P-ALB, hemoglobin (HB), and TP were negatively correlated with PCT (r=-0.23,-0.36, -0.40, -0.30, -0.19, P<0.05). Conclusions For patients with respiratory diseases, early nutritional assessment should be underwent, and for patients with nutritional risk screening 2002 score ≥3 points, early nutritional intervention could improve the nutritional status and alleviate inflammatory response, promote recovery, shorten the hospital stays.

Objective:To systematically review thrombosis risk prediction models associated with peripherally inserted central venous catheter (PICC) in adults and provide a basis for the clinical application of these models and the development of subsequent models.Methods:Databases such as CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Ovid were searched to collect studies on thrombosis risk prediction models related to adult PICC, covering all entries from the inception of the databases until December 31, 2022. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias.Results:Nineteen studies were included. D-dimer was the most common predictive factor; only five studies underwent external validation, and six studies evaluated model calibration. All included studies exhibited high risk of bias, primarily due to methodological deficiencies in model development and validation processes; the combined area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for nine models was 0.80 (95% Confidence Interval: 0.75-0.85) .Conclusions:Research on thrombosis risk prediction models related to adult PICC is still in its developmental stage. Most of the known models perform well with comprehensive and easily obtainable predictive factors, yet they exhibit methodological shortcomings. Future research should focus on improving the methodological quality and external validation during model development and validation processes.

Objective:To explore the posttraumatic growth of first stroke patients and analyze its dynamic development trajectory.Methods:From January to December 2022, 180 stroke patients admitted to Xinxiang Central Hospital were selected as research subjects by convenience sampling. The Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) score was dynamically evaluated at the end of the first month (M 1), second month (M 2), third month (M 3), fourth month (M 4), fifth month (M 5), and sixth month (M 6) of onset. The latent class growth model (LCGM) was used to analyze the developmental trajectory categories, and multiple Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of posttraumatic growth trajectory categories. Results:A total of 180 questionnaires were distributed, and 177 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 98.33% (177/180). Within six months, the patient's PTGI score gradually increased, with the lowest PTGI score (29.11±5.65) at M 1 and the highest proportion of low-level growth, accounting for 85.31% (151/177). At M 6, the PTGI score was (42.14±13.04), and the proportion of low-level growth was 40.68% (72/177). Two latent categories of posttraumatic growth, namely sustained low growth type and growth improvement type, were identified, with 72 cases of sustained low growth type and 105 cases of growth improvement type. Gender ( OR=2.648, P=0.008), age ( OR=1.055, P=0.002), education level ( OR=6.403, P<0.001), and stroke type ( OR=2.863, P=0.014) were the influencing factors for posttraumatic growth trajectories among stroke patients. Conclusions:Post traumatic growth in stroke patients is a dynamic state of change, with low overall levels and a common type of sustained low growth. There may be differences in the sociodemographic and disease characteristics of patients with different types of posttraumatic growth trajectories, providing reference for the development of clinical nursing strategies, but further research is still needed.

Objective:To investigate the mechanism of polygonatum and astragalus compound(PA)in inhibiting the progression of lung adenocarcinoma. Methods:CCK-8 assay was used to assess the inhibitory rate of proliferation in A549 and H1299 cells treated with PA at different concentrations and to calculate the half maximal inhibitory concentration(IC50).C57BL/6 mice(KRASG12D/+;TP53flox/flox)were treated with adenovirus carrying Cre enzyme via nasal inhalation to establish a mouse model of primary lung adenocarcinoma.The model mice were fed with PA-containing diet to directly observe the effect of PA on the lung adenocarcinoma tissue.Immunohistochemical staining was used to examine the pathological status of the lung tissue.Bioinformatics analysis indicated that PA affects the progression of lung adenocarcinoma through the apelin-peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha(PGC1α)-mitochondrial brown fat uncoupling protein 1(UCP1).Real-time quantitative PCR and Western blotting analysis were used to study the effect of PA on the mRNA and protein expression levels of apelin-PGC1α-UCP1 signaling pathway related genes.An ATP detection kit and flow cytometry were used to evaluate the effect of PA on the ATP and mitochondrial ROS production,respectively,in A549 and H1299 cells.siUCP1 was used to silent the expression of UCP1 while Z160 was used to induce UCP1 overexpression in A549 and H1299 cells,and the changes in ATP and mitochondrial ROS production were examined to further investigate whether PA acts on apelin-PGC1α-UCP1 signaling pathway to affect the progression of lung adenocarcinoma. Results:PA could obviously inhibit the proliferation of A549 and H1299 cells with the IC50 values of 10.66 mg/mL for A549 cells and 9.66 mg/mL for H1299 cells.In the mouse primary lung adenocarcinoma model,PA could effectively inhibit the growth of tumor,downregulate apelin-PGC1α-UCP1 signaling pathway and inhibit the expression of lung adenocarcinoma-promoting gene UCP1.In A549 and H1299 cells,PA could significantly inhibit the expression of apelin,PGC1α and UCP1(P<0.05),promote the production of ATP(P<0.000 1)and ROS,restore mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation,and inhibit aerobic glycolysis(P<0.01).UCP1 silencing could increase the production of ATP(P<0.01)and mitochondrial ROS and decrease the expression of key glycolysis enzymes hexokinase 2(HK2)and pyruvate kinase isozyme type M2(PKM2)(P<0.05).Increasing the expression of UCP1 could reduce the ATP production(P<0.01)and mitochondrial ROS generation in cells while increase the expression of HK2 and PKM2(P<0.05).Treating cells with PA and Z160 simultaneously(PA+Z160)could reverse the inhibitory effect of PA on the ATP production and glycolysis of tumor cells(P<0.05). Conclusion:PA can downregulate the apelin-PGC1α-UCP1 signaling pathway,inhibit mitochondrial uncoupling,restore mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation,inhibit aerobic glycolysis,reverse the Warburg effect,and thus inhibit lung adenocarcinoma progression.

Objective:To analyze the clinical phenotype and the associated pathogenic genes in a family exhibiting autosomal dominant inherited optic atrophy (ADOA).Methods:A pedigree analysis was conducted on a Han Chinese family with ADOA comprising two generations and four individuals from Henan Province.The family with two ADOA patients was recruited at Henan Eye Hospital between July and October 2023.Detailed medical histories were collected for the proband and family members.Comprehensive ophthalmologic evaluations were performed, including assessments of visual acuity, visual field, fundus photography, electroretinogram (ERG), visual evoked potential (VEP), and optical coherence tomography.Additionally, hearing, electromyography, and magnetic resonance imaging were performed on the proband to assess the presence of systemic symptoms.Peripheral blood samples were collected from four family members, and whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed on the proband, with subsequent validation via Sanger sequencing for the other family members.The pathogenicity and protein struture of the novel variant were analyzed.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Henan Eye Hospital (No.HNEECKY-2019[15]).Written informed consent was obtained from each subject.Results:The proband was a 15-year-old female with a 4-year history of vision loss in the left eye and optic atrophy, mild thinning of central macular foveal thickness, locally mild thinning of ganglion cell complex layer thickness, low VEP amplitude, and partial visual field defects in both eyes, and no significant hearing impairment or dystonia on systemic examination.The proband's mother had partial optic nerve atrophy and slightly decreased central macular foveal thickness in both eyes, and mild ERG abnormalities, but no significant VEP abnormalities.WES identified a heterozygous nonsense variant c. 676C>T (p.Gln226Ter) in exon 6 of the OPA1 gene of the proband and her mother.This variant has not been previously reported in the literature, nor is it listed in the Human Gene Mutation Database, the Thousand Genomes Project, or the Genome Aggregation Database, which results in a premature termination codon at glutamine position 226.Protein structure analysis showed that p. Gln226Ter of the OPA1 protein induces alterations in the hydrogen bonding of the protein binding to surrounding residues, which in turn leads to protein function alterations.The variant was classified as potentially pathogenic according to the ACMG standards and guidelines. Conclusions:Patients in this ADOA family present with adolescent-onset optic atrophy in both eyes, with a predominance in the left eye.The c. 676C>T variant in OPA1 gene might be the causative variant in this ADOA family.Notably, this is the first report of this specific variant.

Objective:To explore whether transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) can improve the prognosis of esophagogastric variceal bleeding (EGVB) combined with sarcopenia in cirrhotic patients.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was performed. A total of 464 cases with cirrhotic EGVB who received standard or TIPS treatment between January 2017 and December 2019 were selected. Regular follow-up was performed for the long-term after treatment. The primary outcome was transplantation-free survival. The secondary endpoints were rebleeding and overt hepatic encephalopathy (OHE). The obtained data were statistically analyzed. The t-test and Wilcoxon rank-sum test were used to compare continuous variables between groups. The χ2 test, or Fisher's exact probability test, was used to compare categorical variables between groups. Results:The age of the included patients was 55.27±13.86 years, and 286 cases were male. There were 203 cases of combined sarcopenia and 261 cases of non-combined sarcopenia. The median follow-up period was 43 months. The two groups had no statistically significant difference in follow-up time. There was no statistically significant difference in transplant-free survival between the TIPS group and the standard treatment group in the overall cohort ( HR=1.31, 95% CI: 0.97-1.78, P=0.08). The TIPS patient group with cirrhosis combined with sarcopenia had longer transplant-free survival (median survival: 47.76 vs. 52.45, χ2=4.09; HR=1.55, 95 CI: 1.01~2.38, P=0.04). There was no statistically significant difference in transplant-free survival between the two kinds of treatments for patients without sarcopenia ( HR=1.22, 95% CI: 0.78~1.88, P=0.39). Rebleeding time was prolonged in TIPS patients with or without sarcopenia combination (patients without combined sarcopenia: median rebleeding time: 39.48 vs. 53.61, χ2=18.68; R=2.47, 95 CI: 1.67~3.65, P<0.01; patients with sarcopenia: median rebleeding time: 39.91 vs. 50.68, χ2=12.36; HR=2.20, 95 CI: 1.42~3.40, P<0.01). TIPS patients had an increased 1-year OHE incidence rate compared to the standard treatment group (sarcopenia patients: 6.93% vs. 16.67%, χ2=3.87, P=0.049; patients without sarcopenia combination: 2.19% vs. 9.68%, χ2=8.85, P=0.01). There was no statistically significant difference in the long-term OHE incidence rate between the two kinds of treatment groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:TIPS can significantly prolong transplant-free survival compared to standard treatment as a secondary prevention of EGVB concomitant with sarcopenia in patients with cirrhosis. However, its advantage is not prominent for patients with cirrhosis in EGVB without sarcopenia.
