Objective:To summarize domestic and foreign transitional readiness assessment tools for adolescents with chronic diseases and analyze the current status of their application in the clinic, so as to provide references for healthcare professionals to select appropriate tools.Methods:China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP and China Biomedical Literature Database, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Medline, CINAHL, Cochrane Library and scholar.google.com were searched for literature related to the assessment tools of transition readiness in adolescents with chronic illnesses from inception to March 29, 2024. Two researchers independently screened the literature and extracted the data.Results:A total of 491 articles were initially retrieved and 24 were included, involving a total of 8 transitional readiness assessment tools for adolescents with chronic diseases, including the Transition Readiness Assessment questionnaire, the University of North Carolina TRxANSITION Scale, Am I ON TRAC for adult care? Questionnaire, Transition Questionnaire, Self-Management and Transition to Adulthood with Rx=Treatment Questionnaire, Good 2 Go Questionnaire, State Assessment Questionnaire for Transition, and Self-assessment Scale of Transition Readiness for Adolescents. The Transition Readiness Assessment questionnaire and Self-Management and Transition to Adulthood with Rx=Treatment Questionnaire have good reliability and validity, comprehensive evaluation, wide applicability, simple use, and are suitable for clinical use.Conclusions:The quality of existing tools for assessing transitional readiness of adolescents with chronic diseases is mixed. The Transition Readiness Assessment questionnaire and Self-Management and Transition to Adulthood with Rx=Treatment Questionnaire are more appropriate options in the clinic, but they still need to be improved. Future studies need to continue to introduce tools to assess transitional readiness for chronic diseases in adolescents and develop localized assessment tools.

Objective To investigate the effect of KH-type splicing regulatory protein(KHSRP)on the malignant biological behavior of lung adenocarcinoma(LUAD)by targeting the Janus kinase 1(JAK1)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(STAT3)signaling axis.Methods Clinical data were collected for 64 patients with LUAD,diagnosed at Huaihe Hospital from January 2017 to December 2018.Expression levels of KHSRP were detected in LUAD tissues and adjacent tissues by immunohistochemical staining.KHSRP gene expression was also detected in LUAD cell lines(SPC-A1,H1975,CL1-5,PC-9,Calu-3,H446)and normal human bronchial epithelial cells using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.KHSRP expression in SPC-A1,H1975,PC-9,and Calu-3 cells was manipulated by lentivirus transfection.The effects of KHSRP on the proliferation,migration,and invasion of LUAD cells were detected by Cell Counting Kit-8 and Transwell assays.The effects of KHSRP overexpression and knockdown were also investigated in a mouse xenograft tumor model,and JAK/STAT signaling pathway proteins were detected by Western blot.Rescue experiments were conducted to verify if KHSRP promoted the malignant progression of LUAD cells by regulating the JAK1/STAT3 signaling pathway.Results KHSRP expression was significantly higher in LUAD tissues compared with adjacent tissues(P<0.05).Overexpression of KHSRP significantly promoted the proliferation,migration,and invasion of LUAD cells in vitro(P<0.05).KHSRP also promoted LUAD cell xenograft tumor growth and lung nodule metastasis in nude mice in vivo(P<0.01).KHSRP knockdown significantly decreased the levels of JAK1,phospho-JAK1,and STAT3 in the JAK/STAT signaling pathway,while the situation was reversed following KHSRP overexpression(P<0.05).Rescue experiments showed that KHSRP reversed the inhibitory effect of knockdown(P<0.05).Conclusions KHSRP targets the JAK1/STAT3 signaling pathway and acts as an oncogene in LUAD.

Objective:To evaluate the impact of roxadustat on thyroid function and to identify the associated factors in patients undergoing maintenance peritoneal dialysis (PD).Methods:This study was a single-center retrospective study. PD patients who received roxadustat or recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) treatment at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital between January 2020 and June 2024 were included. The general and clinical information as well as laboratory indexes were collected. Serum free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) were compared before and after treatment initiation. Hemoglobin (Hb) responses were also observed between the two groups. Logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the factors associated with thyroid function changes.Results:A total of 120 patients were enrolled, with an age of (55.17±16.42) years, including 66 males (55.0%). There were 81 patients received roxadustat (roxadustat group) and 39 patiens received rHuEPO (rHuEPO group). Compared to the rHuEPO group, the roxadustat group had a higher proportion of patients with diabetes ( χ 2= 4.172, P=0.041), a shorter PD vintage ( Z=-3.406, P=0.002), a lower serum level of total cholesterol ( Z=-2.082, P=0.037) and a lower level of fasting blood glucose ( Z=-2.589, P=0.010). Following treatment with roxadustat, the levels of FT4 ( Z=-5.349, P<0.01) and TSH ( Z=-3.720, P<0.01) decreased significantly. In contrast, no significant changes in FT4 or TSH levels were observed in the rHuEPO group (both P>0.05). For both roxadustat and rHuEPO groups, there were no significant changes in FT3 levels after treatment (both P>0.05). Multivariate analysis identified that higher baseline TSH (TSH≥2.27 μIU/ml, OR=1.581, 95% CI 1.196-2.089, P=0.001) and roxadustat exposure ( OR=3.432, 95% CI 1.410-8.355, P=0.007) as independent associated factors of subsequent TSH decline, and identified that higher baseline FT4 (FT4≥14.9 pmol/L, OR=1.390, 95% CI 1.162-1.662, P=0.001) and roxadustat exposure ( OR=5.798, 95% CI 2.225-15.113, P=0.001) as independent associated factors of subsequent FT4 decline. The degrees of hemoglobin changes after roxadustat or rHuEPO treatment did not differ significantly between roxadustat group and rHuEPO group ( t=-1.062, P=0.290). Of the 31 patients who underwent a second thyroid function test during roxadustat treatment, 24 continued with the original regimen, while 7 discontinued roxadustat. Among 24 patients who maintained roxadustat treatment, TSH ( Z=-0.400, P=0.689) and FT4 ( t=0.143, P=0.888) remained stable between the second and third tests. All 7 patients who discontinued roxadustat treatment showed TSH rebound and the changes of TSH levels were more significant than that in continuers ( Z=-2.505, P=0.012). FT4 recovery occurred in only 3 of them, with no significant difference in FT4 change between discontinuers and continuers ( Z=-0.685, P=0.493). Conclusions:Roxadustat commonly suppresses TSH and FT4, but not FT3, in PD patients. Baseline levels of TSH and FT4 are key associated factors of the inhibitory effect of roxadustat on thyroid function. This suppression does not intensify with prolonged exposure and is reversible after discontinuation, with TSH levels normalizing more quickly than FT4. Roxadustat-induced thyroid suppression does not compromise its efficacy in treating renal anemia.

Objective:To analyze the incidence and mortality of malignancies in cancer registration areas of Shaanxi Province in 2019.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted. According to the data quality control requirements of the "Guidelines for Tumor Registration Work in China", cancer incidence and mortality data in 2019 reported by qualified cancer registration areas in Shaanxi Province were comprehensively evaluated. Data from 48 qualified cancer registration areas whose quality met the standards were selected for combined analysis. The incidence and mortality rate, age-specific incidence and mortality rate, standardized incidence and mortality rate, cumulative incidence and mortality rate of malignancies and the top 10 cancer incidence rankings were calculated.Results:Among the 48 cancer registration areas of Shaanxi Province in 2019, 20 were in urban areas and 28 were in rural areas, covering a total population of 20 118 219, which accounted for 49.63% (20 118 219/40 536 407) of the total population. In 2019, the incidence of cancer in Shaanxi Province in 2019 was 209.56 per 100 000 population, age-standardized incidence rates of Chinese standard population and world standard population were 137.58 per 100 000 population and 136.26 per 100 000 population, respectively; the cumulative incidence rate of population aged 0-74 years was 15.62%. The mortality rate of cancer was 145.54 per 100 000 population, the age-standardized mortality rates of Chinese standard population and world standard population were 92.80 per 100 000 population and 92.87 per 100 000 population, respectively; the cumulative mortality rate of population aged 0-74 years was 10.44%. The incidence and mortality of malignant tumors were at a low level in groups with the age before 40-year-old, increased rapidly in groups with the age after 40-year-old, and reached a peak level in 85-year-old group. In 2019, the top 5 of the incidence of malignancies in Shaanxi Province were lung cancer, stomach cancer, breast cancer, liver cancer and esophageal cancer; and the top 5 of deaths were lung cancer, stomach cancer, liver cancer, esophageal cancer and colorectal cancer. The top 10 of malignant cancer cases accounted for 78.87% (33 252/42 160) of all malignant cancer cases; the top 10 of malignant deaths accounted for 84.30% (24 684/29 281) of all cancer deaths.Conclusions:The situation of prevention and treatment of malignancies in Shaanxi Province is still serious, and it is necessary to focus on the prevention and treatment of cancer in population aged 40 and above, especially the prevention and treatment of key cancers such as lung cancer, stomach cancer, breast cancer, liver cancer, esophageal cancer and colorectal cancer.
