Objective To explore the latent profile of health-promoting lifestyle in patients with lumbar disc herniation treated conservatively and analyze its influencing factors,so as to provide reference for the develop-ment of targeted interventions.Methods Patients with conservative treatment of Lumbar Disc Herniation at the orthopedic outpatient clinic of a tertiary hospital in Guangzhou from March to December 2024 were selected as study subjects.General Information Questionnaire,Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile Revised-Ⅱ,Visual Analogue Scale,Oswestry Disability Index and Social Support Rating Scale were used for the investigation.Latent profile analysis was used to explore the potential categories of health-promoting lifestyle in patients with lumbar disc her-niation and the influencing factors were identified by univariate analysis and disordered multiple logistic regression analysis.Results A total of 422 lumbar disc herniation patients treated conservatively were included and the score of Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile Revised-Ⅱ Scale was(102.44±13.19)points.The health-promoting lifestyle of patients with lumbar disc herniation can be divided into three potential profile:low health promotion group-low responsibility and less exercise type(18.7%),balanced health promotion group(51.7%)and high health promotion group-spiritual social leading type(29.6%).The results of logistic regression analysis showed that course of disease,oswestry disability index,social support level and take regular physical exercise are the influenc-ing factors of health-promoting lifestyle in patients with conservative treatment of lumbar disc herniation(P<0.05).Conclusions There is heterogeneity in the health-promoting lifestyle in patients with conservative treat-ment of lumbar disc herniation.Nursing staff can carry out targeted interventions according to the latent profile type of health-promoting lifestyle in lumbar disc herniation patients treated conservatively to improve their health-promoting lifestyle.

Objective To determine the effects of dexmedetomidine(Dex)in anesthesia on brain function,cerebral oxygen uptake rate(CERO2),difference in glucose content between cerebral ar-terial and venous blood(A-VDG)and jugular bulb oxygen saturation(SjvO2)and stress response in elderly patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage.Methods A total of 96 elderly patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage admitted to our hospital from January 2021 to June 2024 were recruited,and according to different anesthesia schemes,they were divided into the group A(propofol,remifentanil,sevoflurane combined with rocuronium anesthesia,48 cases)and group B(same anesthesia regimen as group A plus Dex).Glasgow coma(GCS)score and restlessness-sedation score 48 h after operation,postoperative recovery,stress indexes and cerebral glucose and oxygen metabolism before(T1)and at the end of operation(T2),and adverse reactions during the study were compared between the two groups.Results When compared with the group A,the group B had significantly higher GCS score 48 after surgery(13.95±0.28 vs 12.89±0.41,P＜0.01),and shorter awakening time,time to regain spontaneous breathing,extubation time and response time(P＜0.01).At T2,the levels of CERO2,A-VDG and SjvO2 were notably higher,while levels of cortisol,norepinephrine and epinephrine,and activity of renin were remarkably lower in the group B than the group A(P＜0.01).At T2,the both groups obtained increased levels of cortisol,norepinephrine,epinephrine and renin activity and SjvO2,while decreased CERO2 and A-VDG levels than the corresponding levels at T1(P＜0.05).The incidences of nausea and vomiting,cough,chills,restlessness and delirium was obviously lower in the group B than the group A(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Conclusion For elderly patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage,application of Dex in anesthesia can improve cerebral glucose and oxygen metabo-lism,reduce stress response,maintain the stability of perioperative vital signs,decrease the severi-ty of coma and incidences of delirium,nausea and vomiting,cough,chills,restlessness and other adverse reactions,and thus promote postoperative recovery.

Objective To investigate the impact of smoking cessation on high-resolution compu-ted tomography(HRCT)phenotypes in smokers with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)and its relationship with the frequency of acute exacerbations.Methods A retrospective study was conducted in 237 smokers with COPD who could cooperate with a 1-year follow-up.Among them,160 patients underwent a comprehensive 1-year smoking cessation intervention,and were divided into smoking cessation failure group(87 patients)and smoking cessation success group(73 patients)based on whether they successfully quited smoking.The remaining 77 smokers with COPD who did not receive smoking cessation intervention were designated as smoking group.HRCT phenotypes,total lung volume(TLV),total emphysema volume(TEV),emphysema index(EI)and the number of acute exacerbation at different time points were compared among the three groups.Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between smoking cessation and the number of acute exac-erbations.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the proportion of A phenotype patients among the three groups before intervention and at 3 and 6 months of intervention(P＞0.05).At the 9th and 12th months of intervention,the proportion of patients with A phenotype in the smoking group was lower than that in the smoking cessation failure group and smoking cessation success group(P＜0.05).Before the intervention and at the 3rd,6th and 9th months of interven-tion,there were no statistically significant differences in the proportion of patients with E phenotype among the three groups(P＞0.05).Before intervention and at the 3rd and 6th months of interven-tion,there were no statistically significant differences in the proportion of patients with M phenotype among the three groups(P＞0.05).At the 9th and 12th months of intervention,the proportion of patients with M phenotype in the smoking group was higher than that in the smoking cessation failure group and smoking cessation success group(P＜0.05).Before intervention,there were no statisti-cally significant differences in TLV,TEV and EI among the three groups(P＞0.05).One year af-ter the intervention,TLV,TEV and El in the smoking cessation failure group and smoking cessation success group were lower than those in the smoking group(P＜0.05).At the 3rd,6th,9th and 12th months of intervention,the number of acute exacerbations in the the smoking cessation failure group and smoking cessation success group was less than that in the smoking group(P＜0.05).At the 9th and 12th months of intervention,the number of acute exacerbation in the smoking cessation success group was less than that in the smoking cessation failure group(P＜0.05).The results of Pearson correlation analysis showed that smoking cessation was negatively correlated with the number of acute exacerbation in smokers with COPD(P＜0.05),and this negative correlation gradually in-creased with the extension of smoking cessation duration.Conclusion Smoking cessation can im-prove HRCT phenotypes and effectively reduce the number of acute exacerbation in smokers with COPD.

OBJECTIVE To observe the clinical efficacy of Yijinjing in the treatment of elderly sarcopenia and its effect on chro-nic inflammatory response in patients,and to explore the Yijinjing exercise prescription suitable for elderly patients with sarcopenia.METHODS A total of 120 elderly patients with sarcopenia admitted to the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine,Suzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from September 2022 to September 2024 were selected and randomly divided into a control group and a Yijinjing group,with 60 cases in each group.The control group received health education and dietary guidance,and the Yijinjing group received Yijinjing exercises on the basis of the intervention of the control group.The changes in skeletal muscle mass,upper and lower limb muscle strength,muscle thickness,muscle cross-sectional area,physical fitness and chronic inflammation level were observed in the two groups before and after the intervention.RESULTS After intervention,the skeletal muscle mass,grip strength,30 s sit-stand test times,rectus femoris thickness and cross-sectional area,vastus intermedius thickness,and physical fit-ness assessment of the patients in the Yijinjing group were significantly increased compared with those before treatment(P<0.05),and the indicators after intervention were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05);the serum TNF-α and IL-18 levels in the Yi-jinjing group were significantly decreased compared with those before treatment(P<0.05),and the indicators after intervention were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05);there was no statistically significant change in the biceps brachii thickness and serum IL-6 level in the Yijinjing group compared with those before treatment(P>0.05);there was no significant correlation between the bi-ceps brachii thickness and grip strength after Yijinjing intervention,r=0.139 8,P>0.05;there was a significant negative correlation between the TNF-α level and grip strength after Yijinjing intervention,r=-0.313 8,P<0.05.CONCLUSION Yijinjing exercises can improve muscle mass and strength in elderly patients with sarcopenia,and improve the physical fitness of patients,which may be related to improving the chronic inflammatory state of the body.

Objective:To analyze the gene mutation spectrum of children with T-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) using next generation sequencing technology and to evaluate the value of gene mutations in prognosis stratification.Methods:A case series analysis was made.The clinical data of newly diagnosed pediatric T-ALL patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 1, 2019 to February 29, 2024 were analyzed retrospectively.T-ALL gene mutations were analyzed.The relationships of gene mutations with clinical features and induction of responses to therapy were studied.The effects of gene mutations on overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) were examined by the Kaplan-Meier method and COX regression model.Results:A total of 80 newly diagnosed pediatric T-ALL patients were enrolled in the study, with a male-to-female ratio of 3.4∶1.0 and a median age of 8 (range, 2-17) years.A total of 57 mutations were detected in 74 patients, 46.2% (37/74) of whom showed 3 or more gene mutations.The coexistence of mutated genes was obvious. PTEN mutations were more prevalent in male patients ( P=0.018).Initial leukocyte counts were higher in patients with PTEN mutations ( P=0.038) and lower in patients with JAK3 mutations ( P=0.002).Patients with NOTCH1 mutations had a higher positive rate of fusion genes ( P=0.043).Patients with PTEN mutations had a higher rate of minimal residual disease(MRD) remission after 15/19 d of treatment with induction therapy, respectively ( P=0.013).The rate of MRD remission after 33/46 d of treatment with induction therapy was higher in patients with the FBXW7 mutation ( P=0.004) and lower in patients with JAK3 mutations ( P=0.003).Multifactorial COX regression analysis showed that IL7R mutation and three or more gene mutations were independent risk factors for OS and EFS in T-ALL patients(OS: HR=3.252, 7.357, 95% CI: 1.020-10.372, 1.646-32.882; EFS: HR=3.372, 3.009, 95% CI: 1.234-9.214, 1.174-7.708; all P<0.05). Conclusions:Gene mutations are prevalent in T-ALL children and correlate with clinical manifestations and prognosis.The coexistence of mutated genes is obvious.Pediatric T-ALL patients with IL7R mutations and three or more gene mutations have a poorer prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the clinical experience and efficacy of unrelated umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for the treatment of congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia (CAMT).Methods:A case summary was conducted.The clinical data of 2 children with CAMT who were finally cured by unrelated umbilical cord blood HSCT in the Department of Pediatric Medicine, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from March 2020 to August 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.Related studies were retrieved from databases CNKI, Wanfang and PubMed using search terms including " congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia" and " hematopoietic stem cell transplantation" from the inception to July 2024.The clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment processes, and prognosis of CAMT patients treated by HSCT were then summarized.Results:Both cases exhibited scattered skin haemorrhages throughout the body and carried 2 compound heterozygous mutations with pathogenicity in the MPL gene.Both patients were finally diagnosed with CAMT.Case 1 was a girl aged 3 at the time of transplantation, and case 2 was also a girl, who aged 5 at the time of transplantation.Both of them received unrelated umbilical cord blood HSCT and hematopoietic reconstruction was achieved.The time of neutrophil and platelet implantation was 21 and 40 days after transplantation in case 1, and 20 and 31 days in case 2, respectively.The chimerism rate of neutrophil implantation in both children was complete chimerism of donor cells.Implantation syndrome was detected in case 1 following transplantation.Case 2 suffered implantation syndrome, hypertensive encephalopathy, and cytomegalovirus infection following transplantation.Both children showed no graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).Both children had hematopoietic and immune reconstruction after transplantation and their primary diseases were cured.Cases 1 and 2 were followed up for more than 14 and 17 months, respectively.Both of them achieved disease-free survival during the follow up.Literature review of 26 cases with CAMT treated by HSCT, including the above-mentioned 2 cases was conducted, with an overall disease-free survival rate of 92.3%(24/26).Of 12 cases with CAMT typing, 10 were type Ⅰ and 2 were type Ⅱ.Of the 26 cases treated by HSCT, 17 had bone marrow HSCT, with an overall survival rate of 88.2%(15/17), and 2 had peripheral blood HSCT.Seven cases had umbilical cord blood HSCT (6 cases receiving unrelated umbilical cord blood HSCT and 1 case receiving related umbilical cord blood HSCT), with an overall survival rate of 100%.Unlike bone marrow and peripheral blood HSCT, unrelated umbilical cord blood HSCT did not result in 3-4 grade GVHD. Conclusions:Unrelated umbilical cord blood HSCT can achieve good therapeutic effects in CAMT patients when there is no suitable donor.Myeloablative pretreatment is conducive to CAMT patients.

Objective To investigate programmed death including necroptosis,apoptosis,autophagy,ferroptosis,and pyroptosis in bone marrow megakaryocytes of mice during sepsis and its impact on platelet production capacity and coagulation function in mice.Methods C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into a sham operation group(sham group)and a sepsis model group(CLP group).Peripheral blood platelets and coagulation function were measured by abdominal aortic blood sampling at 24 h postoperatively in both sham and CLP groups.After the mice were sacrificed,long bones of both lower limbs were taken,and bone marrow megakaryocytes were extracted using megakaryocyte separation solution and immunomagnetic bead separation.Laser confocal microscopy was used to observe the activation of programmed death-related marker molecules in mouse bone marrow megakaryocytes.Flow cytometry was used to detect programmed death rate,platelet production phenotype,and platelet surface markers(CD41,CD42b,CD61)of megakaryocytes.Western blotting was used to detect the expression of programmed death-related proteins in megakaryocytes.Results Compared with the sham group,the CLP group showed significant decreases in the number of platelets during acute sepsis(24 h)(P<0.000 1),significant increases in platelet distri-bution width(PDW)and mean platelet volume(MPV)(P<0.01),significant prolonging of thrombin time(TT),prothrombin time(PT),and activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT)(P<0.000 1,P<0.001,P<0.01),and significant reduction in fibrinogen(Fib)(P<0.000 1).Compared with the Con/sham group,the LPS/CLP group exhibited significant increases in the platelet production phenotype of megakaryocyte,the number of PLP in the supernatant,and the expression levels of platelet surface markers(CD41,CD42b,CD61).The rates of megakaryocyte necroptosis/apoptosis,pyroptosis,and ferroptosis were significantly elevated at 24 h post-CLP surgery.Laser confo-cal microscopy showed significant activation of LC3,P-MLKL,Caspase-1,and Fe2+in megakaryocytes of mice after CLP surgery.Western blotting results revealed that the CLP group exhibited a significant increase in the activa-tion rate of necroptosis-related protein P-MLKL(P<0.001),a significant increase in the cleavage of pyroptosis-related proteins GSDMD and GSDMD-N(P<0.01,P<0.001,respectively),a significant increase in the expres-sion of ferroptosis-related protein ACSL4(P<0.01),and a significant decrease in the expression of GPX4(P<0.01)compared to the sham group.Additionally,the CLP group demonstrated significant increases in the expression of apoptosis-related protein Bax,the cleavage of autophagy-related protein LC3B-Ⅱ,and the expression of P62(P<0.05,P<0.001,P<0.001,respectively).Inhibition of apoptosis with programmed cell death inhibitors decreased platelet production function of megakaryocyte,while inhibition of necroptosis and pyroptosis had limited effects on platelet production function of megakaryocyte.Inhibition of ferroptosis and autophagy enhanced platelet production function of megakaryocyte.Conclusion Significant programmed death of megakaryocytes was observed during the acute phase of sepsis(24 h).Among those megakaryocytes,apoptosis is an important mechanism for the differentia-tion of platelet production phenotype and increased platelet production capacity of megakaryocyte.Overactive autophagy and ferroptosis in megakaryocytes lead to megakaryocyte dysfunction,which is an important mechanism for coagulation abnormalities in sepsis.

OBJECTIVE To study the effects of ethanol on markers of gastric stem cells and epithe-lial cells,and explore the related signal pathways for stem cells differentiation in a mouse gastric mucous injury model.METHODS Male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into normal control and ethanol groups.The mice in the control group were given normal drinking water while those in the ethanol group were gavaged with 10 ml·kg-1 50%(V/V)ethanol on day 1,and drinking water containing 10%(V/V)ethanol was given on day 2-9.On the 10th day,stomach tissues were collected.HE staining was used to detect pathological changes in the stomach.Immunohistochemistry(IHC)staining was used to detect changes of such cell markers as mucin 5AC,H+/K+ATPase β and pepsin C.Immunofluorescence(IF)staining was employed to analyze changes in expression of cell markers such as H+/K+ATPase β,pepsin C and gastrin.ELISA assay was used to measure gastrin,somatostatin and interleukin 1β(IL-1β)concentrations in gastric tissue homogenates.Flow cytometry was adopted to measure the number of leucine rich repeat containing G protein-coupled receptor 5 positive(LGR5+)stem cells in gastric glands.Organoids was constructed to characterize stem cell activity.RNA sequencing and bioinformatics analysis were conducted to analyze the inflammatory pathways and differentiation signaling pathways during mice gastric mucous injury.RESULTS H&E results showed multifocal necrosis of the mucosal layer appeared in the ethanol group,accompanied by pyknosis,lysis and detachment of mucosal epithelial cells and gastric gland cells.IHC results showed decreased expressions of mucin 5AC and increased expressions of H+/K+ATPase β and pepsin C.IF results revealed increased expressions of H+/K+ATPase β,pepsin C,and gastrin after ethanol treatment.ELISA results demonstrated significant increases in gastrin,somatostatin and IL-1β levels in gastric tissues of the ethanol group.Flow assay results suggested that the number of LGR5+stem cells significantly decreased in ethanol treated gastric tissues.Stem cells from stomach tissues treated with ethanol did not grow into organoids.RNA sequencing and bioinformatics analyses revealed enrichment of TNF,NF-κB and Notch pathways in the ethanol group.CONCLUSION Administration of 50%ethanol solution on day 1,followed by continuous admin-istration of 10%ethanol solution on day 2-9 can induce histopathological injury to the gastric gland and stem cells,and an increase in epithelial cells.These changes may be related to the up-regulation of inflammatory pathways and Notch signaling pathways triggered by ethanol.

Objective To determine the effects of dexmedetomidine(Dex)in anesthesia on brain function,cerebral oxygen uptake rate(CERO2),difference in glucose content between cerebral ar-terial and venous blood(A-VDG)and jugular bulb oxygen saturation(SjvO2)and stress response in elderly patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage.Methods A total of 96 elderly patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage admitted to our hospital from January 2021 to June 2024 were recruited,and according to different anesthesia schemes,they were divided into the group A(propofol,remifentanil,sevoflurane combined with rocuronium anesthesia,48 cases)and group B(same anesthesia regimen as group A plus Dex).Glasgow coma(GCS)score and restlessness-sedation score 48 h after operation,postoperative recovery,stress indexes and cerebral glucose and oxygen metabolism before(T1)and at the end of operation(T2),and adverse reactions during the study were compared between the two groups.Results When compared with the group A,the group B had significantly higher GCS score 48 after surgery(13.95±0.28 vs 12.89±0.41,P＜0.01),and shorter awakening time,time to regain spontaneous breathing,extubation time and response time(P＜0.01).At T2,the levels of CERO2,A-VDG and SjvO2 were notably higher,while levels of cortisol,norepinephrine and epinephrine,and activity of renin were remarkably lower in the group B than the group A(P＜0.01).At T2,the both groups obtained increased levels of cortisol,norepinephrine,epinephrine and renin activity and SjvO2,while decreased CERO2 and A-VDG levels than the corresponding levels at T1(P＜0.05).The incidences of nausea and vomiting,cough,chills,restlessness and delirium was obviously lower in the group B than the group A(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Conclusion For elderly patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage,application of Dex in anesthesia can improve cerebral glucose and oxygen metabo-lism,reduce stress response,maintain the stability of perioperative vital signs,decrease the severi-ty of coma and incidences of delirium,nausea and vomiting,cough,chills,restlessness and other adverse reactions,and thus promote postoperative recovery.
