ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy of Shenqi Yangxin decoction in the treatment of ischemic cardiomyopathy （ICM） with Qi and Yin deficiency and blood stasis syndrome and its effect on serum hydrogen sulfide （H₂S） and calcium ion （Ca²⁺）. MethodsA total of 64 ICM patients with Qi and Yin deficiency and blood stasis syndrome who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into a control group （n=32） and a treatment group （n=32）. All patients received conventional Western medicine treatment. The treatment group was additionally given Shenqi Yangxin decoction. The TCM syndrome score， Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire （MLHFQ） score， left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF）， N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide （NT-proBNP）， 6-minute walk test （6MWT）， New York Heart Association （NYHA） cardiac function classification， and serum H₂S and Ca²⁺ levels were compared between the two groups pre- and post-treatment. ResultsTwo cases dropped out from each group during the study. Finally， 30 patients in each group were included in the analysis. There were no significant differences in age， gender， course of coronary heart disease， underlying diseases， and laboratory tests between the two groups. Compared with baseline， the TCM syndrome score， MLHFQ score， and NT-proBNP in both treatment group and control group decreased significantly （P<0.01）， LVEF， 6MWT， and H₂S increased significantly （P<0.01）， and serum Ca²⁺ increased （P<0.05）. Compared with the control group after treatment， the MLHFQ score and NT-proBNP in the treatment group decreased （P<0.05）， the TCM syndrome score decreased significantly （P<0.01）， LVEF， 6MWT， and serum Ca²⁺ increased （P<0.05）， and H₂S increased significantly （P<0.01）. The improvement degree of the NYHA cardiac function classification in the treatment group was higher than that in the control group， but there was no significant difference. ConclusionShenqi Yangxin decoction is effective in treating ICM patients with Qi and Yin deficiency and blood stasis， which could significantly improve cardiac function and quality of life， and its therapeutic effect may be related to the regulation of serum H₂S and Ca²⁺ levels.

Objective:To investigate the prognostic value of circulating plasma cell (CPC) in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) undergoing induction therapy with bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (VRD) regimen.Methods:This study retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 152 patients with NDMM treated with the VRD regimen as induction therapy in the Hematology Department of Jiangsu Provincial People’s Hospital from January 2019 to March 2024. The clinical characteristics, efficacy, and prognosis of patients with high and low CPC proportions are compared. The prognosis of patients in the CPC-positive group, CPC-negative conversion group, and CPC-negative group was analyzed.Results:This study included 152 patients with NDMM, comprising 76 males and 76 females, with a median age at onset of 62 (40–77) years. Compared with the group with CPC proportion of <0.105%, patients with CPC proportion of ≥0.105% demonstrated a higher proportion of International Staging System (ISS) stage Ⅲ ( P<0.001), Revised ISS stage Ⅲ ( P=0.023), HGB≤100 g/L ( P=0.015), β 2-microglobulin ≥3.5 g/L ( P<0.001), shorter median progression-free survival (PFS) period (24 months vs 52 months, P<0.001), and shorter median overall survival (OS) period (52 months vs not achieved, P=0.005). Patients in the CPC-negative group demonstrated a longer median PFS period (not reached vs 41 months vs 19 months, P<0.001) and median OS period (not reached vs not reached vs 26 months, P<0.001) compared with patients in the CPC-negative conversion group and CPC-positive group. Multivariate analysis revealed CPC proportion of ≥0.105% ( HR=3.79, 95% CI: 1.95–7.38, P<0.001), positive CPC after induction therapy ( HR=3.54, 95% CI: 1.41–8.87, P=0.007), and cytogenetic high risk ( HR=3.69, 95% CI: 1.85–7.37, P<0.001) as independent risk factors affecting the PFS of patients. Meanwhile, CPC of ≥0.105% ( HR=3.50, 95% CI: 1.29–9.48, P=0.014) and positive CPC after induction therapy ( HR=4.12, 95% CI: 1.13–15.03, P=0.032) are independent risk factors affecting the OS of patients. Conclusion:Patients with NDMM demonstrating high CPC expression have a worse prognosis, with CPC level as an independent prognostic factor.

To retrospectively analyze the clinical data of 465 newly diagnosed patients with multiple myeloma (NDMM) admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from December 2016 to December 2024, and compare the prognostic value of high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities (HRCAs) in NDMM patients under mSMART 3.0 and mSMART 4.0 risk stratification systems. The results showed that in both stratification systems, the prognosis of high-risk patients was worse than that of standard-risk patients. Moreover, a higher number of HRCAs was associated with a worse prognosis. The mSMART 4.0 system, which considers the coexistence of various cytogenetic abnormalities, provides a more precise definition of HRCA than mSMART 3.0. It demonstrates a superior ability to differentiate between different categories of cytogenetic risk.

Objective: To construct and validate a prognostic model for lung cancer based on acrolein-related genes using bioinformatics methods . Methods: Lung cancer datasets GSE30219 and GSE68465 were obtained from the GEO database , and acrolein-related gene sets were retrieved from the CTD database . Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between cancer and adjacent tissues were identified in the GSE30219 dataset. The intersection of these DEGs and acrolein-related genes was then used to identify candidate genes . Gene set variation analysis ( GSVA) was performed to assess functional alterations based on the intersection genes . A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed based on the STRING database to identify core hub genes . Subsequently , support vector machine recursive feature elimination (SVM-RFE) and LASSO-Cox regression analyses were employed to develop a prognostic model based on acrolein-related genes , which was independently validated using the GSE68465 dataset. The CIBERSORT algorithm was applied to evaluate the immune cell infiltration characteristics between high- and low-risk groups , and functional enrichment analysis of DEGs between the two groups was conducted to further ex- plore the potential molecular mechanisms underlying the prognostic model . Results : A total of 361 acrolein-related DEGs were identified in lung cancer , and 7 key genes were selected for model construction . Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that patients in the high-risk group had significantly lower survival rates compared to those in the low-risk group (P < 0. 000 1) . Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis demonstrated that the mod- el possessed good predictive performance . Moreover , immune infiltration analysis indicated that the risk score was closely associated with multiple immune cell subsets , suggesting a potential role of acrolein-related genes in modula- ting the lung cancer immune microenvironment. Conclusion The prognostic model for lung cancer based on acro- lein-related genes demonstrates significant application value in predicting the prognosis of lung cancer , providing new insights into the potential mechanisms of acrolein in the onset and progression of lung cancer.

Objective To explore the related factors of postoperative nutritional risk in elderly patients with proximal femoral nail anti rotation(PFNA)internal fixation and establish a prediction model of malnutrition.Methods A total of 574 elderly patients who underwent PFNA internal fixation in the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2021 to June 2024 were included and divided into malnutrition group(n=389)and good nutrition group(n=185).The differences in 39 indicators in aspects of physiological,psychological,social,economic,environmental and medical fields were compared between the 2 groups.Logistic analysis was used to screen the nutritional risk factors,and then a nomogram model was constructed based on these factors.Results Advanced age,lower BMI,higher postoperative Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)score,less exercise before fracture,being farmers,higher economic pressure,lower preoperative albumin,preprotein and hemoglobin,and lower Barthel index before fracture were independent risk factors for nutritional risk in patients undergoing PFNA internal fixation(P＜0.05).The nomogram prediction model based on the above factors had an AUC value of 0.995(95％CI:0.987～1.000)in predicting the risk of malnutrition in these patients.When the threshold probability＞0.02,this model could be clinically beneficial in predicting the risk of postoperative malnutrition in patients after PFNA internal fixation.Conclusion Our nutritional risk prediction model based on age,BMI,economic pressure,pre-fracture exercise and preoperative albumin and other indicators is constructed for the elderly patients after PFNA internal fixation,and the model has high accuracy and clinical application value.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease(CJD)is a rapidly progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by prions,with certain infectivity and iatrogenic transmission risks.With the rapid progress and application of new dia-gnostic biomarkers and detection methods,as well as the construction and improvement of surveillance and reporting systems,the detection of CJD in patients domestically and internationally has shown an increasing trend year by year.Due to its long incubation period and heterogeneity of early symptoms,early identification and diagnosis of the disease is difficult,increasing the risk of transmission within medical institutions.Currently,there is a lack of con-sensus on the infection prevention and control of CJD.In order to timely identify and diagnose CJD as well as effec-tively block its transmission in medical institutions,this consensus summarizes 15 clinical concerns and formulates 24 specific recommendations based on the latest domestic and international research findings and clinical evidence,as well as combines with clinical practice,aiming to standardize healthcare-associated infection prevention and control measures for CJD and reduce its transmission risk in medical institutions.

Objective:To explore the clinical application value of serum N-glycan profiles for evaluating the severity of liver tissue inflammation in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB).Methods:A total of 221 CHB patients who underwent liver biopsy at Mengchao Hepatobiliary Hospital of Fujian Medical University from January 2018 to December 2020 were retrospectively enrolled. The Scheuer scoring system was used to assess the histological inflammation grade of the liver tissue. Serum N-glycan levels were measured using DNA sequencer-assisted N-glycan fingerprinting (NGFP). Using the upper limit of the alanine aminotransferase (ALT) reference value (40 U/L) as a cutoff, logistic regression models were developed to construct diagnostic models under two scenarios: normal ALT or abnormal ALT. Models based on serum N-glycan levels and serum N-glycan levels combined with routine laboratory indicators, were used to non-invasively evaluation of various pathological grades of liver tissue inflammation in CHB patients. The DeLong test was used to compare the diagnostic efficacy of the models by analyzing the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Glycosylation-related gene expression differences associated with varying degrees of liver inflammation were analyzed using the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database.Results:In CHB patients with normal ALT level, the relative abundances of N-glycan structure peak 1 (NGA2F) and peak 2 (NGA2FB) increased with higher liver inflammation grades, while the relative abundance of peak 5 (NA2) decreased ( P<0.05). The AUCs of the HIS-G model (HIS-G A) and its enhanced version (HIS-G A Plus) for identifying significant inflammation and necrosis (≥G2, indicating the initiation of antiviral therapy) were 0.805 (95% CI 0.690-0.899) and 0.904 (95% CI 0.821-0.960), respectively. In CHB patients with ALT>40 U/L, the relative abundances of peaks 1 (NGA2F), 2 (NGA2FB), and 3 (NG1A2F) increased with higher liver inflammation grades, while the relative abundances of peaks 8 (NA3) and 11 (NA4) decreased ( P<0.05). The AUCs of the HIS-G model (HIS-G B) and its enhanced version (HIS-G B Plus) for identifying significant inflammation (≥G2) were 0.810 (95% CI 0.727-0.889) and 0.838 (95% CI 0.754-0.901), respectively. With increasing liver inflammation grades, the expression levels of four glycosyltransferase genes (CHST4, FUT8, SLC51B, and ST8SIA4) were significantly upregulated ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Serum N-glycan biomarker models can be used to assist in evaluating the severity of liver tissue inflammation in CHB patients with both normal and abnormal ALT levels.

Objective:To investigate the current status of psychosocial adaptation in young and middle-aged patients after colorectal cancer surgery and to explore its influencing factors, providing a basis for the development of targeted interventions.Methods:A total of 200 postoperative young and middle-aged colorectal cancer patients undergoing follow-up at the outpatient department of Shanxi Cancer Hospital from June 2023 to March 2024 were selected by convenience sampling. Data were collected using a general demographic questionnaire, the Self-Report Psychosocial Adjustment to Illness Scale (PAIS-SR), the Family APGAR Index Questionnaire, and the Simplified Ways of Coping Questionnaire (SWCQ). Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to identify factors influencing psychosocial adaptation.Results:A total of 200 questionnaires were distributed, and 191 valid responses were collected, yielding a valid response rate of 95.5%. The total PAIS-SR score of participants was (57.91±23.45). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that education level, self-perceived economic status, employment status, presence of a stoma, time since surgery, family care, and positive coping style were statistically significant influencing factors ( P<0.05), explaining 46.4% of the variance in psychosocial adaptation. Conclusions:Healthcare providers should pay particular attention to patients with lower educational levels, poor self-perceived economic conditions, unemployment, a stoma, and shorter postoperative duration. Enhancing family care—starting with patient caregivers—and encouraging the use of positive psychological interventions to foster active coping strategies may help improve psychosocial adaptation in young and middle-aged colorectal cancer patients.
