Objective: To explore the feasibility of constructing a lung cancer early-warning risk model based on facial image features, providing novel insights into the early screening of lung cancer. Methods: This study included patients with pulmonary nodules diagnosed at the Physical Examination Center of Shuguang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from November 1, 2019 to December 31, 2024, as well as patients with lung cancer diagnosed in the Oncology Departments of Yueyang Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine and Longhua Hospital during the same period. The facial image information of patients with pulmonary nodules and lung cancer was collected using the TFDA-1 tongue and facial diagnosis instrument, and the facial diagnosis features were extracted from it by deep learning technology. Statistical analysis was conducted on the objective facial diagnosis characteristics of the two groups of participants to explore the differences in their facial image characteristics, and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression was used to screen the characteristic variables. Based on the screened feature variables, four machine learning methods: random forest, logistic regression, support vector machine (SVM), and gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT) were used to establish lung cancer classification models independently. Meanwhile, the model performance was evaluated by indicators such as sensitivity, specificity, F1 score, precision, accuracy, the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC), and the area under the precision-recall curve (AP). Results: A total of 1 275 patients with pulmonary nodules and 1 623 patients with lung cancer were included in this study. After propensity score matching (PSM) to adjust for gender and age, 535 patients were finally included in the pulmonary nodule group and the lung cancer group, respectively. There were significant differences in multiple color space metrics (such as R, G, B, V, L, a, b, Cr, H, Y, and Cb) and texture metrics [such as gray-levcl co-occurrence matrix (GLCM)-contrast (CON) and GLCM-inverse different moment (IDM)] between the two groups of individuals with pulmonary nodules and lung cancer (P < 0.05). To construct a classification model, LASSO regression was used to select 63 key features from the initial 136 facial features. Based on this feature set, the SVM model demonstrated the best performance after 10-fold stratified cross-validation. The model achieved an average AUC of 0.8729 and average accuracy of 0.799 0 on the internal test set. Further validation on an independent test set confirmed the model’s robust performance (AUC = 0.823 3, accuracy = 0.729 0), indicating its good generalization ability. Feature importance analysis demonstrated that color space indicators and the whole/lip Cr components (including color-B-0, wholecolor-Cr, and lipcolor-Cr) were the core factors in the model’s classification decisions, while texture indicators [GLCM-angular second moment (ASM)_2, GLCM-IDM_1, GLCM-CON_1, GLCM-entropy (ENT)_2] played an important auxiliary role. Conclusion The facial image features of patients with lung cancer and pulmonary nodules show significant differences in color and texture characteristics in multiple areas. The various models constructed based on facial image features all demonstrate good performance, indicating that facial image features can serve as potential biomarkers for lung cancer risk prediction, providing a non-invasive and feasible new approach for early lung cancer screening.

Objective:To investigate the effect and potential mechanism of exposure to 20 nm polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-NPs) on lipid metabolism in mice liver.Methods:An animal experimental model was designed, which was completed from September 2022 to July 2023 on the exposure omics platform of the School of Public Health at Capital Medical University and the Key Laboratory of Environment and Population Health at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention.1 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg PS-NPs tail vein mice exposure models were constructed. After exposure 7 d, serum was collected to measure the levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). Real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and air flow assisted desorption electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry imaging (AFADESI-MSI) analysis were used to analyze the mRNA levels of fatty acid esterification related genes ( Dgat1 and Dgat2) and lipid transport related genes ( ApoB, Cd36, ApoE and Mttp) and metabolites′ spatial changes in liver tissue. In vivo imaging system (IVIS) and tissue shake sections were employed to observe the fluorescence biological distribution of PS-NPs. t-test or one-way ANOVA was used to explore the difference between groups. Results:The serum ALT levels were (83.97±4.58), (91.17±13.69) and (142.43±6.09) U/L in the control group, 1 mg/kg PS-NPs exposure group and 10 mg/kg PS-NPs exposure group respectively ( F=37.281, P<0.05). The relative mRNA levels of Dgat1, Dgat2, ApoB, Cd36 and ApoE were (1.49±0.63, 2.53±0.32, 2.45±0.54), (1.07±0.38, 1.86±0.83, 2.23±0.73), (1.01±0.13, 1.58±0.43, 2.03±0.52), (1.01±0.14, 1.55±0.37, 1.52±0.51), (1.01±0.17, 2.11±0.27, 2.39±0.93) in these three groups respectively. The differences were statistically significant ( F=11.54, 6.95, 14.90, 5.98 and 14.68, P<0.05). AFADESI-MSI analysis found that PS-NPs exposure led to a significant decrease in the levels of glutarylcarnitine and O-Linoleoylcarnitine ( t=4.12 and 3.35, P<0.05), which were associated with lipid beta oxidation. The content of triglycerides (TG) (m/z 921.726 4, t=8.69, P<0.05; m/z 919.711 4, t=3.20, P<0.05), phosphatidylic acid (PA) (m/z 895.712 3, t=3.60, P<0.05; m/z 821.526 6, t=3.36, P<0.05), lysophosphatidylcholine (LysoPC) (m/z 560.310 6, t=3.35, P<0.05; m/z 582.295 3, t=6.28, P<0.05), phosphatidylcholine (PC) (m/z 778.533 9, t=3.53, P<0.05; m/z 804.549 6, t=3.60, P<0.05; m/z 820.523 1, t=3.37, P<0.05), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) (m/z 772.523 3, t=3.08, P<0.05) showed a significant increase in the PS-NPs exposure group. In vivo and in vitro imaging and in situ cell localization revealed that PS-NPs were mainly enriched in hepatic stellate cells and hepatic Kupffer cells in liver tissue. Conclusion:Exposure to PS-NPs induces disorder of liver lipid metabolism, which may be related to the accumulation of PS-NPs in hepatic stellate cells and hepatic Kupffer cells, providing basis for searching early biomarkers of PS-NPs exposure and further mechanism research.

Purpose To explore the clinicopathological features,diagnosis and differential diagnosis of large B-cell lym-phoma with IRF4 rearrangement(LBCL-IRF4r).Methods Clinical data of 8 cases of LBCL-IRF4r were collect,hematoxy-lin-eosin and immunohistochemical of EnVision two-step stains,in situ hybridization and FISH was used to study the histology,immunotypes and molecular genetic characteristics.The rele-vant literatures were reviewed.Results Among 8 cases of LBCL-IRF4r,the male to female ratio was 1.67:1,with age range 10-53 years(mean 25.8 years).Five cases occurred in tonsils,2 cases in nasopharynx and 1 cases in inguinal lymph node.Microscopically,the tumors presented with a purely follic-ular,purely diffuse or a combined follicular and diffuse architec-ture.The tumor cells were typical centroblasts and less frequent-ly medium-sized blastic cells with smaller nucleoli,apoptosis and nuclear fragmentation were easily seen.Immunophenotypi-cally,the tumor cells of the eight cases of LBCL-IRF4r diffuse strongly expressed CD20(8/8),PAX5(2/2),CD79a(3/3),BCL6(8/8)and MUM-1(8/8),mostly expressed CD10(7/8),partially expressed BCL2(5/8)and CD5(4/8),and did not express Cyclin D1,CD23 and CD30.The percentage of Ki67 index ranged from 70％to 95％.EBER in situ hybridiza-tion was negative in all cases.IRF4 rearrangements were detec-ted in all cases(8/8).BCL6 rearrangements were detected in one case(1/2).MYC(0/4)and BCL2(0/3)rearrangements were not detected in all cases.Conclusion LBCL-IRF4r is more common in children and adolescents with characteristic IG::IRF4 rearrangement and a good prognosis,which needs to be differentiated from other types of large B-cell lymphoma.

Objective To invesigate the feasibility of low radiation dose and low contrast dosage in triple-rule-out computed tomo-graphy angiography(TRO-CTA)on the 320-row detector CT.Methods A total of 120 patients who underwent CTA were prospec-tively selected.All patients were divided into control group(n=90)and experimental group(n=30).The control group employed standard-doses protocol of pulmonary CTA(120 kV tube voltage,45 mL contrast dosage),coronary CTA(120 kV,50-60 mL),and aortic CTA(120 kV,75 mL),while the experimental group received TRO-CTA with 100 kV and 70-80 mL.The peak time of contrast dosage at the pulmonary artery and aorta was measured by low-dose detection method in the experimental group,and the contrast examination was performed sequentially in the control group.Subjective scores and objective image quality of the pulmonary artery,coronary artery,and aorta in the experimental group and the control group were measured and compared,respectively.The effective dose(ED)between the two groups were recorded and compared.Independent samples t-test and Fisher exact probability were used to analyze the statistical differences between the above measures.Results There were no significant differences in CT values,con-trast-to-noise ratio(CNR),signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)of pulmonary artery,coronary artery and aorta between the two groups(P＞0.05).The mean subjective scores of pulmonary artery,coronary artery and aorta segments in the two groups were not less than 3 points,meeting the requirement of clinical diagnosis.There was no statistical difference in subjective scores between the two groups(P＞0.05).There was statistically significant difference in ED between the two groups(P＜0.05).The ED of pulmonary artery,coronary artery,and aorta in the experimental group were 11.49％,13.33％,and 11.46％significantly lower than those in the control group,respec-tively.Conclusion It is feasible to obtain TRO-CTA images used by the low radiation dose and low contrast dosage on the 320-row detector CT,and radiation dose and contrast dosage can be reduced reasonably without alterations of TRO-CTA images quality in clinical practice.

Objective: To establish a method for determining the content of bear bile powder in Longze Xiongdan capsules with taursodeoxycholic acid（TUDCA） and taurchenodeoxycholic acid（TCDCA） as indexes.
Methods: HPLC series evaporation photodetector was adopted on Chrom Core AQ C₁₈ column(4.6 mm×250 mm, 5 μm), with the mobile phase comprising of acetonitrile ( A ) and 5 mmol·L^-1 ammonium acetate solution (B) in a gradient elution (0-40 min, 25%A; 40-50 min, 25%A→29%A; 50-80 min, 29%A; 80-100 min, 29%A→40%A) at the flow rate of 1.0 mL·min^-1. The column temperature was 30 ℃. The ELSD was used, of which the drift tube temperature was 110 ℃ and the flow rate of carrier gas（N₂） was 2.5 L·min^-1.
Results: In the ranges of 1.069-9.57 μg and 0.740 46-7.404 64 μg, logarithms of the injected amount of TUDCA and TCDCA presented good linear relationships with logarithms of the peak area, respectively. The RSDs of precision, repeatability and stability tests were all lower than 2.0%. At three concentration levels the recoveries of TUDCA and TCDCA were 95.2%-97.7% and 91.9%-95.9%, respectively. Samples of 42 batches showed that the contents of TUDCA and TCDCA were 0.18-0.43 and 0.10-0.44 mg·granule^-1, respectively.
Conclusion: This method can be used for the quality control of bear bile powder in Longze Xiongdan capsules, thus provides a scientific basis for improving its quality standard.

Objective Improving the limb management strategy for patients undergoing coronary intervention through radial artery puncture and observe the application effect,and to provide scientific basis for the prevention of limb complications.Methods From March 2023 to February 2024,patients who underwent coronary intervention in the Cardiovascular Department of a Tertiary A hospital in Wenzhou City were selected.They were randomly di-vided into an experimental group of 241 cases and a control group of 236 cases using a random number table method.After surgery,they were all treated with a rotary hemostatic device for compression hemostasis.The experi-mental group implement improvement strategies for surgical limb management,specifically underwent a reverse Bar-beau test upon returning to the ward after surgery to achieve non-occlusive compression,followed by decompression every hour.The compression intensity of the control group was guided by palpating the distal radial artery pulsa-tion,and the first decompression was performed 1 hour after surgery,followed by decompression at intervals of every 2 hours.The main evaluation indicators are the incidence of surgical limb complications and simplified Chinese version of General Comfort Questionnaire(GCQ)scores in 2 groups of patients,while the secondary evaluation indi-cators are the duration of compression and the number of decompression times in both groups.Results The inci-dence of postoperative complications in the experimental group was 14.11%,which was statistically significant com-pared to 44.49%in the control group(χ2=53.308,P<0.001).The GCQ score of the experimental group was(77.71±5.43)points,which was higher than(74.66±5.83)points in the control group,and the difference was statistically signif-icant(t=-3.354,P=0.001).The compression duration of(172±52)minutes and decompression frequency of 2(2,3)in the experimental group were lower than(289±60)minutes and 4(3,4)in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.001).Conclusion The non-occlusive compression method of the radial artery based on the reverse Barbeau test can significantly reduce limb complications in patients undergoing coronary inter-vention,shorten the duration of hemostatic compression,reduce the number of depressions,and improve patient com-fort.It provides objective basis for nursing staff to evaluate the intensity of hemostatic compression and the timing of decompression.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between family functioning and self-injurious behavior among primary school children, as well as the effects of teacher-student relationship and friendship quality.Methods:A questionnaire survey was conducted with 1 033 primary school children from grade four to six in Hunan province from March to April 2024, using the family APGAR index scale, the deliberate self-injury inventory, the teacher-student relationship subscale of the my class questionnaire, and the friendship quality questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 software for normality tests, descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and Pearson correlation analyses. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed with AMOS 24.0, and moderated mediating effects were examined using the PROCESS 3.5 macro program.Results:(1) The prevalence of self-injurious behavior among the sampled children was 37.4% (359/958), with no significant gender difference ( χ2=0.01, P>0.05). However, the detection rate among grades was significantly different ( χ2=8.25, P<0.05, Cramer's V=0.09). (2) Self-injurious behavior was negatively correlated with family functioning, teacher-student relationship, and friendship quality ( r=-0.29, -0.25, -0.18, P<0.01). Among family functioning, teacher-student relationship and friendship quality, there was positive correlations between each other ( r=0.33-0.40, all P<0.01). (3) Teacher-student relationship partially mediated the relationship between family functioning and self-injurious behavior, with the mediating effect value accounting for 20%(-0.06/-0.30) of the total effect. (4) Friendship quality moderated the first stage of the mediating effect of teacher-student relationship on the relationship between family functioning and self-injurious behavior ( β=0.08, P<0.01). When children's friendship quality was higher, the predictive effect of family functioning on teacher-student relationship was significantly strengthened ( βsimple=0.30, P<0.001, 95% CI=0.21~0.38). Conclusion:Effective family functioning promotes positive teacher-student relationship in children, thereby reducing the risk of self-injurious behavior. This effect is notably stronger among children with higher-quality friendships.

Viral infection can induce endoplasmic reticulum stress(ERS)and unfolded protein re-sponse(UPR)in host cells,resulting in perturbation of endoplasmic reticulum homeostasis.To e-lucidate the action mechanism of isochlorogenic acid A(IAA)in regulating peste des petits rumi-nant virus(PPRV)-induced ERS and UPR,MTT assay,indirect immunofluorescence assay and Western blot were used to evaluate the anti-PPRV activity of IAA,and the effects of IAA on PPRV-induced ERS and PERK signaling pathway were studied by Western blot and quantitative real-time PCR.The results showed that the PPRV replication and virus-induced cytopathic in LDG-2 cells were significantly inhibited,and the survival rate of virus-infected cells was significantly in-creased due to IAA treatment.Compared with the virus control group,the expression levels of GRP78 and p-eIF2α,the ratios of p-PERK/PERK and p-eIF2α/eIF2α in IAA treated PPRV-infec-ted cells were significantly decreased.The expression level of GADD153 significantly decreased at 24,36 h,and significantly increased at 48,60 h.Furthermore,treatment with ERS inhibitor 4-PBA could significantly suppress the expression levels of GRP78,PPRV-N protein and GADD153 in PPRV-infected cells,and the ratios of p-eIF2α/eIF2α and p-PERK/PERK in PPRV-infected cells were also significantly decreased caused by treatment with IAA or 4-PBA and IAA combination.These findings implicated that the PPRV-induced ERS could be alleviated by inhibiting activation of the PERK-eIF2α-GADD1 53 signaling pathway,which led to restriction of PPRV replication in host cells.
