AIM: To investigate the diagnostic and prognostic value of differential expression of Cyclin D1 and p53 in eyelid tumors.METHODS: This retrospective study enrolled patients who underwent surgical resection for eyelid tumors at our hospital between March 2018 and March 2023. Participants were categorized into benign and malignant groups based on tumor characteristics. Clinical data were collected. Genetic data for eyelid tumors were obtained from the GEO database, and differential gene analysis, including volcano plot visualization and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis, was performed using the Sangerbox 3.0 platform. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression levels of Cyclin D1, p53, and BAX in tissue samples. Correlations with clinical features were analyzed using Spearman analysis, and prognostic factors were identified via Logistic regression analysis.RESULTS: This study included 69 patients with eyelid tumors(78 eyes), categorized into a benign group(37 patients, 41 eyes)and a malignant group(32 patients, 37 eyes)based on tumor characteristics. There were significant differences between the two groups in histological subtype, TNM staging, vascular invasion, differentiation status, and local infiltration(all P<0.05). Among benign tumors: pigmented nevi in 11 eyes(27%), hemangiomas in 9 eyes(22%), squamous cell papillomas in 5 eyes(12%), epidermoid cysts in 5 eyes(12%), seborrheic keratoses in 4 eyes(10%), neurofibromas in 3 eyes(7%), and both calcifying epithelioma and xanthelasma in 2 eyes each(5%); among malignant tumors: basal cell carcinoma in 18 eyes(49%), meibomian gland carcinoma in 8 eyes(22%), squamous cell carcinoma in 5 eyes(14%), sebaceous gland carcinoma in 4 eyes(11%), lymphoma and malignant melanoma each in 1 eye(3%). At the follow-up cutoff date of March 2025, the 2-year survival rate in the benign group(95%)was significantly higher than that in the malignant group(78%; P<0.05). Bioinformatics analysis identified 4 103 differentially expressed genes, including Cyclin D1, p53, and BAX, which were predominantly involved in pathways such as the p53 signaling pathway and calcium-related signaling. Spearman analysis revealed that local invasion(rs=0.71, P<0.05)and TNM stage(rs=0.73, P<0.05)correlated with Cyclin D1 expression; local invasion(rs=0.76, P<0.05)and histological subtype(rs=0.65, P<0.05)correlated with p53 expression. Logistic regression results indicated that Cyclin D1, p53, TNM staging, and local invasion were prognostic risk factors. ROC curve analysis demonstrated that the combined detection of these four indicators had the highest predictive value for prognosis(AUC=0.83).CONCLUSION: High expression of cyclin D1 and p53 serves as molecular markers for distinguishing benign from malignant eyelid tumors and assessing prognosis. Combined detection of these markers with TNM staging and local invasion demonstrates high predictive value for prognosis.

OBJECTIVE To construct a whole-process management system for the smart pharmacy based on the integration of drug batch numbers and traceability codes, aiming to solve the problems of low upload rates and traceability difficulties of drug traceability codes in the central pharmacy, and to enhance its level of refined management and medication safety. METHODS Following the FOCUS-PDCA framework(find,organize,clarify,understand,select-plan,do,check,act), a drug batch number and traceability code management system was established by optimizing batch number management processes, introducing “pre-scan registration” technology, and establishing a dynamic “code pool” mechanism. Based on medical insurance upload data and operational performance indicators in our hospital from June to August 2025, the differences in management efficacy before and after the implementation of the system were compared and analyzed. RESULTS The drug batch number and traceability code management system was successfully established, achieving “one-object, one-code” whole-process association with batch numbers for inpatient drugs, especially split drugs. After the application of this system, the upload rate of inpatient drug traceability codes reached 100%, significantly higher than the average upload rate of inpatient drugs in other tertiary hospitals in our city (with the highest rate being only 23.22%, P <0.001). The inventory stocktaking error rate dropped from 0.9% to 0.3% (a decrease of 66.7%); the number of daily dispensing errors decreased from 1.43 to 0.37; the dispensing time (14.75 min) for temporary medical orders recovered to the routine level (14.42 min) prior to the system implementation. CONCLUSIONS By adopting the “pre-scan registration-code pool management-closed-loop traceability” model, this system enables traceability for individual drug products in their smallest packaging units, improves the upload rate of traceability codes, significantly reduces the medication dispensing error rate, and does not increase the time cost for temporary medical order dispensing, thereby balancing efficiency with closed-loop traceability.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the risk factors for sodium valproate (VPA)-induced hyperammonemia in neurocritical patients, and to construct a risk prediction model. METHODS Clinical data were retrospectively collected from 172 neurocritical patients who received VPA treatment in the Department of Critical Care Medicine, the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 2022 to June 2025. Patients were divided into the hyperammonemia group (73 cases) and the normal group (99 cases) based on their blood ammonia levels. Univariate analysis and LASSO regression analysis were used to screen for predictive variables. Independent factors were identified through multivariate Logistic regression analysis, and a nomogram was constructed accordingly. The performance of the model was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA). RESULTS Combination of univariate analysis and LASSO regression analysis screened out seven predictive variables: body mass index (BMI)≥24.0 kg/m 2 , concomitant use of benzodiazepines, VPA blood concentration, hemoglobin, serum urea, average daily VPA dose, and albumin. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that concomitant use of benzodiazepines, BMI≥24.0 kg/m 2 , VPA blood concentration, albumin and serum urea level (with odds ratios of 1.615, 1.538, 1.623, 1.942 and 0.637, respectively; 95% confidence intervals of 1.128-2.359, 1.059-2.251, 1.112-2.431, 1.106-3.598 and 0.402-0.980, respectively) were all significantly associated with VPA-induced hyperammonemia in neurocritical patients ( P <0.05). The nomogram prediction model constructed based on these variables was evaluated, showing that the area under the ROC curve was 0.810 for the test set and 0.844 for the validation set. The calibration curves closely approximated t he actual curves, and the application of this model could improve the clinical net benefit. CONCLUSIONS Concomitant use of benzodiazepines, BMI≥24.0 kg/m 2 , high VPA blood concentration and high albumin level are independent risk factors for VPA-induced hyperammonemia in neurocritical patients, while high serum urea level is an independent protective factor. The risk prediction model constructed based on these factors exhibits good discrimination, consistency, and clinical applicability, making it applicable for predicting the risk of VPA-induced hyperammonemia in neurocritical patients.

Objective To investigate the incidence and epidemiological characteristics of herpes zoster in Jinshan District, Shanghai, in 2024, and to provide a scientific basis for the development of prevention and control measures. Methods The visit information of herpes zoster cases in 2024 was collected through the outpatient diagnosis and treatment system of medical institutions in Jinshan District. Descriptive epidemiological methods were used for statistical analysis. Results In 2024, there were a total of 7 270 cases of herpes zoster in Jinshan District, including 3 398 male cases and 3 872 female cases. The incidence rate among females was higher than that among males (χ2 =125.25, P< 0.001). Cases occurred in all age groups, with an average age of 59.58 ± 15.28 years. The highest proportion of cases was in the 50-year-old group (21.99%) and the 60-year-old group (25.45%). The incidence rate increased with age (χ2 = 4 505.99, P< 0.001). The main departments for consultation were dermatology, pain clinics, and neurology. The main clinical diagnoses were herpes zoster without complications, postherpetic neuralgia, and incomplete herpes zoster. Among the cases, 3,102 patients had follow-up visits, and the number of follow-up visits increased with age. From 2020 to 2024, a total of 2,032 doses of herpes zoster vaccine were administered in the district, with the highest vaccination rate in the 50-year-old group (54.48%). Conclusion The majority of herpes zoster cases in Jinshan District are concentrated in the 50- and 60-year-old groups. The main complication is postherpetic neuralgia. The incidence rate and number of follow-up visits increase with age. The vaccination rate of herpes zoster vaccine in the entire district is relatively low. It is recommended to enhance monitoring and analysis, carry out health education for key populations (aged 50 years old and above), and promote vaccination and other preventive and control measures.

ObjectiveTo investigate the features and mechanism of action of intestinal flora in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection by comparing the changes in intestinal flora between the healthy population, the patients with HP infection, the patients with NAFLD, and the patients with NAFLD and HP infection. MethodsThis study was conducted among the 19 patients with NAFLD (NAFLD group), 19 patients with HP infection (HP group), and 19 patients with NAFLD and HP infection (NAFLD+HP group) who were admitted to The Second Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Science and Technology from March 1, 2023 to April 30, 2024, and 20 individuals undergoing physical examination were enrolled as control group. Fecal samples were collected, total DNA was extracted for PCR amplification, and 16S rDNA sequencing was performed to compare the features of intestinal flora between the four groups. An analysis of variance was used for comparison of continuous data between multiple groups, and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between multiple groups. The Mann-Whitney U test or the Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison of the species in intestinal flora. ResultsThe NAFLD+HP group showed a tendency of reduction in flora abundance compared with the other three groups. There was a significant difference in flora distribution between the NAFLD+HP group and the NAFLD group and between the NAFLD group and the control group (P<0.05). At the phylum level, the top three species in the NAFLD+HP group were Firmicutes (59.94%), Proteobacteria (17.00%), and Actinobacteria (14.75%), with an increase in the proportion of Proteobacteria and a reduction in the proportion of Actinobacteria compared with the other three groups. At the genus level, the top five dominant bacteria in the NAFLD+HP group were Bifidobacterium, Streptococcus, Escherichia-Shigella, Agathobacter, and Ruminococcus gnavus_group. Compared with the NAFLD group, the NAFLD+HP group had increases in the abundance of Streptococcus, Veillonella, and Rothia and reductions in the abundance of Dialister and Ruminococcus toraues_group. Compared with the HP group, the NAFLD+HP group had reductions in the abundance of Collinsella, Subdoligranulum, Catenibacterium, and Porphyromonas and increases in the abundance of Citrobacter and Olsenella (all P<0.05). ConclusionPatients with NAFLD and HP infection have changed in intestinal flora. These flora may be the intestinal microecological factors for HP infection in promoting the development and progression of NAFLD.

Objective:To investigate the impact of vitamin D deficiency on the outcomes of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and normal ovarian reserve (NOR). Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted on infertile women undergoing their first IVF-ET cycle in the Department of Reproductive Genetics, Zhengzhou Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital from January 2018 to December 2023, including 318 PCOS patients (group P) and 528 NOR patients (group N). Each group was divided into three subgroups according to serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels: severe deficiency [25(OH)D<12 μg/L], deficiency [12 μg/L≤25(OH)D<20 μg/L], and non-deficiency [25(OH)D≥20 μg/L]. The impact of vitamin D deficiency on pregnancy outcomes was analyzed in each group. 1∶1 propensity score matching was applied to match the baseline characteristics between group P and group N , resulting in 158 matched cases of PCOS (group P) and NOR (group N). Pregnancy outcomes were compared between the two groups under the same vitamin D status.Results:1) Among PCOS patients, there were no significant differences in general characteristics and pregnancy outcomes among the three subgroups (all P>0.05). The two pronuclei (2PN) rate in the severe deficiency subgroup [59.93% (721/1 203)] was significantly lower than that in the deficiency subgroup [63.70% (1 032/1 620)], with a statistically significant difference ( P=0.045), and both were lower than that in the non-deficiency subgroup [68.06% (554/814)], with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.001, P=0.037). There were no statistically significant differences in the number of oocytes retrieved and MⅡ oocytes, MⅡ oocyte rate, 2PN number, 2PN rate, cleavage number, cleavage rate, number of available embryos on day 3 (day 3, D3), number of high-quality embryos on D3, D3 high-quality embryo rate, clinical pregnancy rate, embryo implantation rate, early miscarriage rate, live birth rate, and premature birth rate among subgroups (all P>0.05). Female age ( OR=0.930, 95% CI: 0.871-0.992, P=0.028), endometrial thickness on the day of transfer ( OR=0.877, 95% CI: 0.791-0.971, P=0.012), number of D3 high-quality embryos ( OR=1.135, 95% CI: 1.050-1.228, P=0.001), and ovulation stimulating protocol ( OR=2.230, 95% CI: 1.153-4.314, P=0.017) were independent factors influencing clinical pregnancy. 2) Among NOR patients, there were no significant differences in general characteristics, pregnancy outcomes, laboratory parameters, or other outcome-related indices among the three subgroups (all P>0.05). Female age ( OR=0.944, 95% CI: 0.900-0.990, P=0.018), number of D3 high-quality embryos ( OR=1.070, 95% CI: 1.004-2.597, P=0.037), and number of transferred embryos ( OR=1.753, 95% CI: 1.184-2.597, P=0.005) were independent factors influencing clinical pregnancy. 3) After matching, there were no significant differences in baseline characteristics and pregnancy outcomes between group P and group N (all P>0.05). In the severe vitamin D deficiency state, group P had significantly lower MⅡ oocyte rate [76.64% (525/685)], 2PN rate [59.69% (345/578)], embryo implantation rate [35.71% (30/84)], and live birth rate [34.00% (17/50)] compared with group N [81.58% (465/570), P=0.033; 67.00% (335/500), P=0.013; 51.28% (40/78), P=0.046; 55.32% (26/47), P=0.035]. In the vitamin D deficiency state, the 2PN rate in group P [66.50% (532/800)] was significantly lower than that in group N [72.00% (725/1 007), P=0.012]. Conclusion:Vitamin D deficiency may adversely affect IVF-ET outcomes in patients with PCOS, with more pronounced effects in cases of severe deficiency. However, it has no impact on the assisted reproductive outcomes in NOR patients.

Objective:To explore the predictive value of human cartilage glycoprotein 39 (YKL-40) and growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) for clinical outcomes of patients with Parkinson disease (PD).Methods:A total of 109 patients with PD admitted to Xinxiang Central Hospital from February 2021 to February 2023 were selected and treated with regular anti-PD medications for 4 weeks, with dosage appropriately adjusted according to clinical status and individual response.Clinical outcomes were evaluated after 2 months of treatment, and the predictive value of serum YKL-40 and GDF-15 at admission for clinical outcomes was analyzed.Data were analyzed by independent sample t-test, χ2 test and Logistic regression using SPSS 26.0. Results:PD patients with poor outcomes exhibited higher serum levels of YKL-40((3.18±0.67)mg/L, (2.34±0.41)mg/L) and GDF-15((457.82±142.83)pg/mL, (282.95±105.96)pg/mL) than those with good outcomes, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=8.082, 7.349, both P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that elevated serum levels of YKL-40( B=0.664, OR=1.943, 95% CI=1.237-3.052) and GDF-15( B=0.185, OR=1.787, 95% CI=1.145-2.789) both influenced the clinical outcomes of PD patients(both P<0.05).Serum YKL-40 combined with GDF-15 demonstrated a predictive sensitivity of 87.23%, specificity of 90.32%, and AUC of 0.927(95% CI=0.861-0.968) for clinical outcomes in PD patients.The AUC was significantly higher than that achieved by either indicator alone (YKL-40: AUC (95% CI)=0.722 (0.628-0.804); GDF-15: AUC (95% CI)=0.797 (0.709-0.868)). Conclusion:The elevated levels of YKL-40 and GDF-15 in PD patients are associated with clinical outcomes, which may be the potential markers for predicting clinical outcomes of patients with PD.
