Objective To explore the effectiveness of the cumulative sum (CUSUM) and the exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) for early warning of influenza epidemic using two datasets of reported influenza cases and influenza-like illness (ILI) cases. Methods Using the reported cases of influenza and ILI in Daxing District, Beijing, from week 23 of 2018 to week 22 of 2024 as data sets, the CUSUM and EWMA models were established, respectively. The positive rate of influenza etiology was used as the “gold standard”, and the Youden index was used as the evaluation index to compare the early warning effect of the two models under different data sets and different parameters. Results In CUSUM, the optimal Youden indices of the reported influenza cases set and the ILI cases set were 0.751 and 0.635, respectively. In EWMA, the optimal Youden indices of the reported influenza cases set and the ILI cases set were 0.544 and 0.464, respectively. The optimal EWMA and CUSUM models could both issue early warning signals in advance of the “gold standard”. Conclusion In the influenza epidemic early warning in Daxing District, Beijing, the CUSUM model established with the reported cases of influenza can achieve good early warning effects, but the model parameters need to be dynamically adjusted according to the local epidemic characteristics.

Objective To investigate the post-discharge exercise behavior and factors influencing moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) in patients undergoing lung surgery. Methods A total of 2874 patients from the large prospective, observational perioperative lung symptom study cohort (CN-PRO-Lung 3) in the Department of Thoracic Surgery at Sichuan Cancer Hospital between April 7, 2021, and January 31, 2024, were selected as the survey subjects. A survey was conducted using the Investigation of Exercise Behavior after Lung Surgery questionnaire and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) among patients who underwent lung surgery. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the factors influencing patients’ engagement in MVPA. Results A total of 702 patients were surveyed, including 252 males and 450 females, with an average age of (52.4±10.2) years. Patients with lung cancer accounted for 85.9%. Only 36.0% of the patients had regular exercise habits, while 42.3% did not engage in any physical activity. The three main barriers for postoperative exercise were physical discomfort (pain, coughing, shortness of breath, etc, 54.7%), lack of professional guidance (41.7%), and concerns about the surgical wound (28.9%). The proportions of patients engaging in vigorous, moderate, and low-intensity physical activity were 5.7%, 28.2%, and 66.1%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that patients with a personal annual income ≥50000 yuan (OR=1.52, 95%CI 1.01-2.29, P=0.044), high school education or above (OR=1.92, 95%CI 1.33-2.76, P<0.001), and lobectomy (OR=1.44, 95%CI 1.02-2.03, P=0.037) engaged in more MVPA. Conclusion Patients undergoing lung surgery have inadequate physical activity after discharge, particularly lacking in MVPA. Patients with higher income, higher educational levels, and lobectomy are more frequently engaged in MVPA. Measures such as symptom control, providing exercise guidance, and enhancing education on wound care may potentially improve the inadequate physical activity in lung surgery patients after discharge.

BACKGROUND:The small-diameter blood vessel prosthesis faces the problem of lumen stenosis or even occlusion due to thrombogenesis and intimal hyperplasia after transplantation.The application of stem cells as seed cells to achieve endothelialization of blood vessel prosthesis helps to improve the long-term patency rate after vascular graft transplantation. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the research progress of the application of stem cells in the endothelialization of small-diameter blood vessel prosthesis. METHODS:The relevant articles published on PubMed and WanFang databases from 2013 to 2023 were retrieved by the first author.Chinese and English search terms included"vascular graft,tissue-engineered blood vessel/vascular tissue engineering,endothelialization,stem cells,endothelial progenitor cells,mesenchymal stem cells,induced pluripotent stem cells,embryonic stem cells."The relative articles in the domestic and overseas about the application of stem cells in the endothelialization of small-diameter blood vessel prosthesis in the past 10 years were retrieved.A total of 552 articles were initially found and we finally selected 81 articles to review according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The low long-term patency rate restricts the application of small-diameter blood vessel prosthesis in clinic.The main causes of low long-term patency rate are thrombogenesis and intimal hyperplasia.The endothelium of native vessels has the function of anti-thrombogenesis and intimal hyperplasia.Endothelialization can simulate the function of native vessels,which is an effective way to improve long-term patency rate.(2)The small-diameter blood vessel prosthesis will undergo in vivo endothelialization after being implanted,but it is difficult to form complete endothelium.Stem cells have the potential to differentiate into endothelial cells.Recruiting stem cells in vivo or seeding them on the inner surface of blood vessel prosthesis in vitro is research strategy to achieve endothelialization.(3)The long-term patency rate of small-diameter blood vessel prosthesis has been improved to a certain extent through seeding endothelial progenitor cells,mesenchymal stem cells,induced pluripotent stem cells,and embryonic stem cells.Each has its own advantages.Endothelial progenitor cells are easy to obtain and can be directly used for seeding.Mesenchymal stem cells come from a wide range of sources and have the function of paracrine and immunological regulation.Induced pluripotent stem cells are rich in sources and the immunogenicity can be eliminated.Embryonic stem cells have a strong proliferative ability and can differentiate into many cells.(4)The application of stem cells in blood vessel prosthesis has not yet been transformed into clinic.Further researches are needed to promote clinical translation.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection by using the method of two-sample bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.Methods:Genetic variation data for NHL came from the Finnish database (FinnGen) Consortium 2021 public genome-wide association study (GWAS) dataset including 1 088 patients with NHL and 299 952 control subjects. The GWAS dataset for chronic HBV infection was derived from GWAS analysis published in 2021, including 145 NHL patients and 351 740 control subjects. NHL was used as an exposure factor, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) significantly associated with NHL was used as an instrumental variable (IV), chronic HBV infection was used as an outcome variable. The two-sample MR analysis was performed by using inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method. Chronic HBV infection was taken as an exposure factor, SNP significantly associated with chronic HBV infection was taken as IV, and NHL was taken as outcome variable, and then reverse two-sample MR analysis was performed. The IVW method used the inverse variance of each IV as the weight to fit, and the ratio method was used to measure SNP one by one and make weighted regression analysis, so as to obtain the overall estimate. MR-Egger regression and the weighted median (WME) method were also used to supplement the IVW method. In sensitivity analysis, leave-one-out sensitivity analysis was used to evaluate the impact of a single SNP. Cochran Q test was used to analyze the heterogeneity of the selected IV. MR-Egger regression was used to measure the average horizontal pleiotropy of IV, and the P-value of directivity was calculated. The MR-pleiotropy residual sum and outlier (MR-PRESSO) Global Test was used to exclude possible horizontal pleiotropic outliers and reduce bias. Results:In the leave-one-out sensitivity analysis, SNP with significant effects on causal associations was excluded. In forward MR analysis, IVs were 10 SNPs associated with NHL; the IVW method indicated that there was no causal association between NHL and chronic HBV infection ( OR = 0.979, 95% CI: 0.925-1.036, P = 0.465). MR-Egger regression ( OR = 0.992, 95% CI: 0.926-1.062, P = 0.825) and WME method ( OR = 0.992, 95% CI: 0.934-1.055, P = 0.805) were used as supplementary methods to obtain the consistent results. In sensitivity analysis, Cochran Q test showed no heterogeneity among IVs (IVW method: P = 0.271, MR-Egger regression: P = 0.239). Horizontal pleiotropy was not found in the MR-Egger regression (intercept was -0.01, P = 0.778) and the MR-PRESSO Global Test ( P > 0.05), suggesting robust results. In the reverse MR analysis, IVs were 8 SNPs associated with NHL; the IVW method ( OR = 1.117, 95% CI: 0.942-1.324, P = 0.202) also found no significant causal relationship between chronic HBV infection and NHL; MR-Egger regression ( OR = 0.777, 95% CI: 0.450-1.343, P = 0.401) and WME method ( OR = 1.120, 95% CI: 0.887-1.415, P = 0.351) also showed similar risk estimates. Sensitivity analysis also suggested the consistency and reliability of the results. Cochran Q test showed no heterogeneity among IVs (IVW method: P = 0.775, MR-Egger regression: P = 0.903). Horizontal pleiotropy was not found by MR-Egger regression (intercept was 0.102, P = 0.548) and MR-PRESSO Global Test ( P > 0.05). Conclusions:MR analysis suggests no causal relationship between NHL and chronic HBV infection.

Ribosomal protein(RP)is an important part of ribosome,which is very important for the assembly and function of ribosome.Recent studies have shown that RP is closely related to the processes of growth,senescence,apoptosis,invasion and drug resistance of tumor cells.The drug resistance of tumors is one of the main reasons for the low cure rate of tumors.RP can affect the drug resistance of tumor cells through a variety of mechanisms,such as changes in signal pathway,epithelial-mesenchymal transformation,cancer stem cells and tumor microenvironment,resulting in a poor prognosis of cancer patients.Ribosome tar-geting therapy is a promising method for the treatment of cancer patients.This review summarizes the mecha-nism of RP and many kinds of cancer drug resistance,provides new ideas for elucidating the mechanism of tumor drug resistance,and then provides new strategies for clinical prevention and reduction of tumor drug re-sistance.

Inclusion criteria:①chronic spinal cord injury patients over 18 years old(with no progression of neurological symptoms within 3 months);② presence of NDO and AD;③ inadequate response or intolerance to oral antimuscarinic agent(M-receptor antagonists or β 3-receptor agonists)④ perform clean intermittent catheterization to empty the bladder. Exclusion criteria:① primary disease in the acute or progressive phase;② previous surgeries that would affect lower urinary tract function,such as transurethral sphincterotomy,bladder neck resection,prostatectomy,or bladder surgery;③ allergy to BTX-A or its adjuvants,or those with allergic predisposition ④ patients who were pregnant,breastfeeding,or planning for pregnancy in the near future;⑤ patients did not accept or were unable to perform intermittent catheterization. Before treatment,all patients were required to maintain 3-5 day urine diary,along with urodynamic studies(UDS),incontinence specific quality of life instrument(I-QOL)and AD symptom severity assessment,and blood pressure monitored. Key UDS parameters recorded included maximum bladder capacity,maximum detrusor pressure during filling phase,changes in maximum systolic blood pressure(SBP)relative to baseline(ΔSBP)during UDS examination,and the frequency of 24-hour blood pressure exceeding baseline by 20 mmHg. After general anesthesia or epidural anesthesia,BTX-A(200 U)was injected into the bladder at 30 points(including the triangle)under the cystoscope using a special injection needle,6.7 U per injection,and then the catheter was kept for 3-5 days after treatment. Three months later,relevant indicators were collected and compared with pre-treatment data. Results:A total of 43 patients were included in this study,including 34 males and 9 females. The age was(39.23±13.17)years old and the disease course was(2.69±3.27)years old. There were 33 cervical and 10 thoracic cases. The American Spinal Injury Association Injury Scale score distribution was as follows:26(60%)A,4(9%)B,9(21%)C,and 4(9%)D. The presence of AD was confirmed in all patients during urodynamic examination(UDS),that was the systolic blood pressure(SBP)suddenly increased and exceeded 20 mmHg(1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa). Before treatment,The AD symptoms severity score(consist of headache,sweating,goose bumps,anxiety and palpitation)were(14.53±2.51),Bladder-related AD frequency was 10.67 episodes/day. Baseline SBP was(103.51±9.64)mmHg,the maximum SBP was(150.40±22.75)mmHg,and the change in SBP(ΔSBP)from maximum to baseline SBP during UDS examination was(43.83±21.01)mmHg. The UDS indicated that the maximum detrusor pressure during storage phase was(54.95±24.68)cmH 2O,and the bladder capacity was(131.70±75.29)ml. Bladder diary showed the volume of catheterization each time from was(181.16±49.86)ml,and The I-QOL score was(44.07±8.60). Three months after treatment,the AD symptoms severity score(consist of headache,sweating,goose bumps,anxiety and palpitation)were(11.37±2.39). The frequency of bladder-related AD episodes was(7.51±2.37)episodes/day,showing statistically significant differences compared to pre-treatment( P<0.05).The SBP before UDS examination was(102.12±10.28)mmHg,with no statistically significant difference from baseline( P = 0.518). The maximum SBP in perfusion phase and the ΔSBP were(132.84±16.30)mmHg and(28.72 ± 14.02)mmHg,respectively,both demonstrating statistically significant differences( P < 0.05). The UDS examination revealed that the maximum detrusor pressure during the storage phase was(29.77±13.72)cmH 2O,showed a significant decrease,and the bladder capacity was(272.63±79.75)ml,which were both statistically different before and after surgery. Bladder diary showed the volume of catheterization each time was(326.74±63.71)ml;I-QOL score was(71.86±11.45),both were significant different after treatment( P < 0.01). Conclusion:BTX-A intravesical injection in the treatment of NDO can also alleviate the severity and frequency of bladder related AD.

Objective:This study analyzed the clinical characteristics and early mortality risk factors in patients with hyperleukocytic acute leukemia (HAL) to provide a basis for predicting early prognosis.Methods:Data were retrospectively collected from 211 patients with primary HAL who visited the Emergency Center of the Hematology Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, between July 1, 2019 and November 30, 2021. The value of each indicator in early risk stratification and prognosis was analyzed.Results:The early-death group exhibited higher WBC, peripheral blood immature cell proportions, prothrombin times (PT), fibrinogen degradation products (FDP), and D-dimer levels than the non-early death group ( P<0.05). Mortality in hyperleukocytic AML (20.5% ) was significantly higher than that in hyperleukocytic ALL (9.3% ) ( P<0.05). There were significant differences in age, creatinine, PT, fibrinogen (FIB) levels, WBC, lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), uric acid, blood potassium, blood calcium, and blood phosphorus levels between the two groups of patients ( P<0.05). A WBC threshold of 255.96×10?/L predicted early mortality with 65.6% sensitivity and 69.0% specificity, with higher WBC levels associated with a 5.164-fold increased mortality risk ( P<0.05). The age, WBC, LDH, urea, PT, FDP and D-dimer of patients at the time of consultation are risk factors affecting the survival of HAL ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:HAL is a life-threatening condition with a high early mortality. Age, WBC, LDH, urea, PT, FDP and D-dimer are risk factors for early death in HAL.

Intestinal fibrosis is a significant clinical challenge in inflammatory bowel diseases, but no effective anti-fibrotic therapy is currently available. Glucagon receptor (GCGR) and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP1R) are both peptide hormone receptors involved in energy metabolism of epithelial cells. However, their role in intestinal fibrosis and the underlying mechanisms remain largely unexplored. Herein GCGR and GLP1R were found to be reduced in the stenotic ileum of patients with Crohn's disease as well as in the fibrotic colon of mice with chronic colitis. The downregulation of GCGR and GLP1R led to the accumulation of the metabolic byproduct lactate, resulting in histone H3K9 lactylation and exacerbated intestinal fibrosis through epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Dual activating GCGR and GLP1R by peptide 1907B reduced the H3K9 lactylation in epithelial cells and ameliorated intestinal fibrosis in vivo. We uncovered the role of GCGR/GLP1R in regulating EMT involved in intestinal fibrosis via histone lactylation. Simultaneously activating GCGR/GLP1R with the novel dual agonist peptide 1907B holds promise as a treatment strategy for alleviating intestinal fibrosis.

Objective:To observe the clinical effect of urokinase along the pipeline under offline status to dissolve dialyzer microthrombus in patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT).Methods:A prospective research method was adopted. A total of 248 CRRT patients with dialyzer microthrombus in Sinopharm-Gezhouba Central Hospital from January 2017 to December 2021 were selected. The patients were divided into experimental group (continued CRRT treatment after urokinase along the pipeline under offline status to dissolve dialyzer microthrombus) and control group (continued CRRT treatment after dialyzer replacement) by random number table method with 124 cases in each group. The baseline data were recorded, including gender, age, primary disease, hemoglobin, platelet count, hematocrit, plasma albumin, D-dimer, fibrinogen, anticoagulant method and symptoms associated with dialyzer microthrombus. The blood indexes were detected before and after treatment of microthrombus, and the symptom scores were performed. The blood indexes included creatinine, urea nitrogen, β 2 microglobulin (β 2-MG), international normalized ratio (INR), hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α); and the symptom scores included acute physiology and chronic health status score Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) and (APACHE Ⅱ) and sequential organ failure score. The initial transmembrane pressure, transmembrane pressure before disembarkation, CRRT treatment extension time and coagulation classification were recorded. In experimental group, the blood coagulation function indexes before and after treatment were detected, including prothrombin time (PT), activated partial prothrombin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT) and fibrinogen (Fib). The adverse reactions were recorded, including black stools, arrhythmias and wound bleeding. Results:There were no statistical differences in baseline data, initial transmembrane pressure, transmembrane pressure before disembarkation, CRRT treatment extension time and coagulation classification between two groups ( P>0.05). There were no statistical differences in creatinine, urea nitrogen, β 2-MG, INR, hs-CRP, IL-6, TNF-α, APACHE Ⅱ and SOFA before treatment between two groups ( P>0.05); after treatment, the indexes in both groups were significantly lower than before treatment, and the indexes in experimental group were significantly lower than those in control group: (179.1 ± 41.2) μmol/L vs. (187.1 ± 53.9) μmol/L, (7.3 ± 2.8) mmol/L vs. (9.3 ± 2.5) mmol/L, (2.5 ± 0.6) mg/L vs. (4.2 ± 0.7) mg/L, 1.0 ± 0.3 vs. 1.8 ± 0.5, (8.7 ± 1.1) mg/L vs. (10.6 ± 2.4) mg/L, (21.5 ± 12.7) ng/L vs. (29.5 ± 10.3) ng/L, (20.2 ± 6.1) ng/L vs. (26.6 ± 7.2) ng/L, (12.1 ± 6.9) scores vs. (17.2 ± 5.2) scores and (5.9 ± 1.8) scores vs. (6.8 ± 1.9) scores, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). In experimental group, there were no statistical differences in PT, APTT, TT and Fib between before treatment and after treatment ( P>0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in experimental group was significantly lower than that in control group: 4.03%(5/124) vs. 12.90%(16/124), and there was statistical difference ( χ2 = 6.30, P<0.05). Conclusions:The urokinase along the pipeline under offline status to dissolve dialyzer microthrombus in patients undergoing CRRT is safer, cheaper and more efficient. It can improve the biocompatibility of tissue with dialyzer and pipe, prolong the use time of the dialyzer, and complete renal replacement therapy.
