Objective To explore the correlation of MET status in patients with advanced prostatic acinar adenocarcinoma with the clinical pathological parameters and prognosis. Methods The specimen from 135 patients with advanced prostatic acinar adenocarcinoma was included. The expression of c-MET protein was detected via immunohistochemistry, and MET gene amplification was assessed by fluorescence in situ hybridization. The relationships of c-MET expression and gene amplification with clinicopathological features and prognosis were analyzed. Results The positive expression rate of c-MET was 52.60% (71/135). Compared with the c-MET expression in adjacent tissues, that in tumor tissues showed lower heterogeneous expression. Among the cases, 1.71% (2/117) exhibited MET gene polyploidy, but no gene amplification was detected. Positive c-MET expression was significantly correlated with high Gleason scores and grade groups (P=0.0073). However, no significant relationship was found between c-MET expression and progression-free survival or post-treatment t-PSA levels. Conclusion c-MET protein is expressed at a relatively low level in advanced prostatic acinar adenocarcinoma, suggesting that c-MET may not be a viable target for ADC drug development in prostatic acinar adenocarcinoma.

Objective To explore the application value of intravoxel incoherent motion(IVIM)imaging parameters in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant breast nodules and their correlation with the expression of Ki-67 receptor in breast cancer.Methods The data of 41 female patients who completed 3.0 T breast magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)with complete surgical pathology results in the Second Hospital of Jiaxing City from October 2022 to January 2025 were analysed and evaluated.Conventional images and diffusion-weighted images with 11 b values were collected.The IVIM imaging parameters of real diffusion coefficient(D),perfusion related diffusion coefficient(D*)and perfusion fraction(f)were measured and calculated in the region of interest of each lesion.The receiver operating characteristic curve were plotted to quantify the differential diagnostic efficacy of each parameter of IVIM imaging in benign and malignant breast nodules.The differences of parameters between benign and malignant breast nodules and between the groups with different expression levels of Ki-67 receptor in breast cancer were analysed,and the correlation between each parameter and the expression level of Ki-67 in breast cancer was counted.Results The D value of benign breast nodules group(benign groups)was significantly higher than that of malignant breast nodules group(malignant groups),and the D*value was significantly lower than that of malignant group,and the differences between benign group and malignant group were statistically significant(t=-4.773,t=2.063,P＜0.05);Thefvalue of benign group was slightly lower than that of malignant group,and the differences between two groups were not statistically significant(t=0.035,P＞0.05).Among the parameters of IVIM imaging,D value had the best differential diagnostic efficacy for benign and malignant breast nodules,with area under the curve(AUC)of 0.870(95％CI:0.755-0.985)and a specificity of 75.0％;D*value had the second best differential diagnostic efficacy after D value,with an AUC of 0.789(95％CI:0.658-0.920),but it had the highest sensitivity of 88.2％;And the differential diagnosis efficiency off value was the worst,much less than D and D*values.The D value in the high Ki-67 expression group of breast cancer was lower than that in the low expression group,while the D* and f values in the high expression group were higher than that in the low expression group,and the differences of each imaging parameter of IVIM were not statistically significant between two groups(t=-2.617,t=2.169,t=0.647,P＞0.05).There was a significant negative correlation between the expression of the Ki-67 receptor and the D value(r=-0.615,P＜0.05),and no significant correlation was seen with either D *or f value(r=0.223,r-0.031,P＞0.05).Conclusion The D and D*values of IVIM imaging parameters have great clinical value in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant breast nodules.

Objective:To assess the presence of chemotherapy-induced abnormal myocardial perfusion using SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in patients with malignant hematologic diseases before hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), and to explore its predictive value for mid-to-long-term mortality risk after transplantation.Methods:From March 2016 to August 2022, 139 patients with malignant hematologic diseases (80 males, 59 females; age (45.7±13.0) years) who underwent resting MPI to assess the presence of chemotherapy-induced abnormal myocardial perfusion before HSCT at the First People′s Hospital of Changzhou were prospectively included. Baseline-data were collected and patients were followed up for mid-to-long-term (≥100d) adverse outcomes after transplantation. Overall survival (OS) of each patient was recorded. The χ2 test and independent-sample t test were used for data analysis. Cox regression analysis was utilized to identify independent risk factors affecting OS. Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were used for survival analysis. Results:The median follow-up time of 139 patients was 41.6(19.5, 65.6) months, with all-cause mortality of 28.8%(40/139), and the cardiovascular mortality was 42.5%(17/40). The prior cardiotoxic therapies rate (anthracycline dose ≥250mg/m 2) was higher in the death group compared to that in the survival group (15.0% (6/40) vs 5.1% (5/99); χ2=3.87, P=0.049). Pre-transplant abnormal myocardial perfusion rate was also higher in the death group compared to that in the survival group (55.0%(22/40) vs 22.2%(22/99); χ2=15.19, P<0.001). But pre-transplant left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was lower in the death group compared to that in the survival group ((60.4±5.2)% vs (62.9±3.9)%; t=-3.07, P=0.003). Cox multivariate regression analysis showed that the abnormal myocardial perfusion indicated by MPI before transplantation was an independent risk factor affecting OS after HSCT in patients with malignant hematologic diseases (hazard rate ( HR)=2.70, 95% CI: 1.33-5.46, P=0.006). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed the 1-, 2-, 5-year OS rates of patients with the abnormal myocardial perfusion and the normal myocardial perfusion were 73.5%, 69.1%, 49.2% and 94.6%, 89.9%, 81.6%, respectively, with significant difference ( χ2=17.01, P<0.001). Conclusions:Patients with abnormal myocardial perfusion detected by MPI before HSCT for malignant hematologic diseases have a poorer prognosis, characterized by lower post-transplantation OS rates. The utilization of MPI for assessing abnormal myocardial perfusion before transplantation in patients with malignant hematologic diseases can aid in predicting the mid-to-long-term mortality risk after transplantation.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of bendamustine combined with anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody in the first-line treatment of older patients with indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-iNHL) .Methods:The clinical data of 159 patients with B-iNHL enrolled in 16 hospitals from Jiangsu Cooperative Lymphoma Group from December 1, 2019, to April 20, 2024, were analyzed for regimen efficacy and safety. Bendamustine plus rituximab (BR) and bendamustine plus obinutuzumab (BG) were administered to 139 (87.4% ) and 20 (12.6% ) patients, respectively.Results:Among the 159 patients, 101 (63.5% ) were male and 58 (36.5% ) were female, with a median age of 69 years (range: 60–84). Efficacy could be assessed in 138 (86.8% ) patients. The efficacy assessment demonstrated that the overall response rate was 92.0% with complete and partial remissions in 75 (54.3% ) and 52 (37.7% ) cases, respectively. With a median follow-up of 24 months (range: 4–64), the progression-free survival rate was (87.5 ± 3.0) % and the overall survival rate was (83.2 ± 3.3) %. Of the 27 patients who died, 6 (22.2% ) died due to disease progression. The mean applied dose of bendamustine per cycle was 73.0 (50.8–89.7) mg/m 2 per day, administered on days 1 and 2. Adverse events of grade 3 or higher were reported in 53 (33.3% ) patients, with infection (30 cases,18.9% ) and neutropenia (24 cases, 15.1% ) demonstrating the highest incidence. Conclusion:Bendamustine combined with anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody demonstrated good efficacy and is well-tolerated in the first-line treatment of elderly patients with B-iNHL.

Objective To explore the different potential subtypes of psychosocial adaptation among young and middle-aged stroke patients,and analyze the relationship between different potential subtypes and quality of life,so as to provide references for the subsequent development of targeted interventions.Methods A total of 406 young and middle-aged stroke patients in 4 tertiary hospitals in Suzhou from June 2023 to June 2024 were recruited by convenience sampling.The General Information Questionnaire,the Self-Report Psychosocial Adjustment to Illness Scale and the EuroQol five-dimensional questionnaire were conducted for investigation.Latent profile analysis was used to explore the potential subtypes of psychosocial adaptation among young and middle-aged stroke patients.Generalized linear regression analysis was conducted with quality of life as dependent variables.Results A total of 380 young and middle-aged stroke patients were included.The psychosocial adaptation of patients could be classified into 3 potential subtypes:high adaptation level type(23.90％),medium adaptation level with health concerns type(46.40％),and low adaptation level with psychological barriers type(29.70％).The results of generalized linear regression analysis showed that potential subtypes of psychosocial adaptation were the influencing factors for quality of life in young and middle-aged stroke patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion There was group heterogeneity in psychosocial adaptation among young and middle-aged stroke patients,and the potential subtype of psychosocial adaption was an important factor affecting the quality of life of patients.It is suggested that medical staff should focus on patients with low adaptation level with psychological barriers type,and take targeted interventions according to characteristics of different subtypes of patients,so as to improve their quality of life.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics of elderly patients with stage Ⅰ diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and analyze the factors associated with prognosis.Methods:A case series study was conducted by retrospectively collecting clinical data from patients aged over 60 years with newly diagnosed stage Ⅰ DLBCL across 20 medical centers in Jiangsu Province, China, between June 2010 and April 2023. The involved site, classification and treatment plan were summarized. The primary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Statistical analyses were performed using the Kaplan-Meier method, and Cox regression model.Results:The study included 255 patients with a median age of 69 years, of whom 130 (51.0%) were male, 66 (25.9%) were aged ≥75 years and 26 (10.1%) had a high Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) score of ≥2. Extranodal involvement was observed in 163 (63.9%) patients, with the stomach (37.4%, 61/163), intestine (19.0%, 31/163), testes (11.0%, 18/163), and breast (7.4%, 12/163) being the most frequently affected sites. The non-germinal center B-cell (non-GCB) subtype was prevalent in 63.7% of patients (142/223), with no significant difference between the nodal and extranodal groups ( P=0.681). Furthermore, 73.9% (184/249) and 11.7% (29/249) of patients received the R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone) and R-miniCHOP regimen, respectively. The overall 3-year PFS rate was 81.5%, and the 3-year OS rate was 85.6%. Patients aged ≥75 years ( HR=2.910, 95% CI 1.565-5.408, P=0.001) and/or with a CCI score ≥2 ( HR=2.324, 95% CI 1.141-4.732, P=0.020) had a significantly poorer PFS. Incorporating age ≥75 years and CCI score ≥2 into the stage-modified international prognostic index (sm-IPI) can better stratify the prognosis of elderly patients with stage Ⅰ DLBCL. The 3-year PFS rate was 48.7% in the high-risk group versus 85.7% in the low-risk group ( P<0.001). Conclusions:Our findings show that the elderly patients with stage Ⅰ DLBCL were predominantly characterized by extranodal involvement (particularly in the stomach and intestinal tract) and non-GCB subtype. Age ≥75 years and CCI ≥2 were identified as independent prognostic factors. The newly established sm-IPI-75-CCI incorporating these factors demonstrated superior prognostic discrimination compared to conventional risk assessment systems.

Objective:To investigate the value of triglyceride glucose index(TyG)and monocyte to high-density lipoprotein choles-terol ratio(MHR)in the diagnosis of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD)complicated by heart fail-ure(HF),as well as the correlation of TyG and MHR with cardiac function in AECOPD patients.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 298 AECOPD patients who were admitted to The First Hospital of Lanzhou University from January 2020 to December 2021,and according to the clinical manifestation,B-type natriuretic peptide/N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide precursor,and echocardiography,the 298 AECOPD patients were divided into HF group with 127 patients and non-HF group with 171 patients.Related clinical indicators were compared between the two groups,and a regression analysis was used to identify the pos-sible risk factors for HF in AECOPD patients.The receiver operat-ing characteristic(ROC)curve analysis was used to investigate the value of TyG and MHR alone or in combination in the diagnosis of AECOPD complicated by HF,and a correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation of TyG and MHR with cardiac function parameters(ejection fraction,ventricular wall thickness,cardiac chamber size,and valve regurgitation velocity)and pulmonary artery pressure in AECOPD patients.Results:The binary logistic regres-sion analysis showed that fasting blood glucose,absolute monocyte count,high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),arrhythmia,TyG,and MHR were independent risk factors for HF in AECOPD patients,and the HF group had significantly higher levels of TyG and MHR than the non-HF group(P<0.001).TyG had an area under the ROC curve(AUC)of 0.805(95%CI=0.754-0.856,P<0.001)in the diagnosis of AECOPD complicated by HF,and MHR had an AUC of 0.762(95%CI=0.707-0.817,P<0.001),while TyG combined with MHR had an AUC of 0.870(95%CI=0.828-0.912,P<0.001).The correlation analysis showed that TyG was negatively correlated with left ventricular ejection fraction and left ventricular fractional shortening and was positively correlated with end-diastolic interven-tricular septal thickness,mitral regurgitation velocity,and left ventricular end-diastolic posterior wall thickness,while MHR was nega-tively correlated with left ventricular stroke volume and left ventricular fractional shortening and was positively correlated with end-diastolic interventricular septal thickness,right ventricular anteroposterior diameter,right ventricular superior-inferior diameter,right ventricular transverse diameter,tricuspid regurgitation velocity,left ventricular end-diastolic posterior wall thickness,and pulmonary artery pressure.Conclusion:Fasting blood glucose,absolute monocyte count,HDL-C,arrhythmia,TyG,and MHR are independent risk factors for AECOPD complicated by HF.Both TyG and MHR have a certain value in the diagnosis of HF,and the combination of TyG and MHR has a better efficacy than each indicator alone in the diagnosis of AECOPD complicated by HF.TyG is correlated with the cardiac function parameters such as left ventricular ejection fraction,ventricular wall thickness,and mitral regurgitation velocity in patients with AECOPD and may have a stronger correlation with the left ventricle;MHR is correlated with right ventricular chamber size,tricuspid regurgitation velocity,and pulmonary artery pressure and may have a stronger correlation with the right ventricle.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of changes in body mass index (BMI) and blood glucose indicators in early pregnancy for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).Methods:A total of 126 pregnant women with GDM who were admitted to the Department of Obstetrics at Jiaxing Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital from January 2022 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed and included in the GDM group. Additionally, 140 healthy pregnant women were included in the non-GDM group. Changes in BMI and levels of blood glucose indicators [fasting blood glucose (FBG), 1-hour postprandial blood glucose, 2-hour postprandial blood glucose (2hPG), and glycated hemoglobin during early pregnancy were compared between the two groups. Influential factors for GDM were analyzed using a multivariate logistic regression model. The predictive value of changes in BMI and blood glucose indicators during early pregnancy for GDM was assessed using receiver operating characteristic curves.Results:The BMI at 10 [(24.60 ± 0.82) kg/m2] and 14 weeks of pregnancy [(23.50 ± 0.85) kg/m2] in the GDM group was significantly higher compared with the non-GDM group (both P < 0.05). The levels of FBG [(5.98 ± 0.36) mmol/L], 1-hour postprandial blood glucose [(10.95 ± 0.83) mmol/L], and 2hPG [(8.60 ± 0.82) mmol/L] in the GDM group were also significantly higher than those in the non-GDM group ( t = 12.25, 23.90, 5.98, all P < 0.001). The levels of total cholesterol [(6.35 ± 1.10) mmol/L] and triglycerides [(3.23 ± 0.60) mmol/L] in the GDM group were significantly higher compared with the non-GDM group ( t = 6.45, 7.45, both P < 0.001). The number of cesarean sections ( n = 69 cases) and the incidence of adverse delivery outcomes [26.98% (34/126)] in the GDM group were significantly higher than those in the non-GDM group ( χ2 = 16.72, 12.71, both P < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that BMI at 10 weeks of pregnancy, BMI at 14 weeks of pregnancy, FBG, and 2hPG were independent risk factors for GDM ( OR = 1.292, 6.514, 2.601, 1.784, all P < 0.05). According to Receiver Operating Characteristic curve analysis, the area under the curve (AUC) (95% CI) for BMI at 10 and 14 weeks of pregnancy were 0.717 (0.630-0.795) and 0.719 (0.631-0.796), respectively. The AUC (95% CI) for FBG and 2hPG levels were 0.731 (0.635-0.813) and 0.802 (0.712-0.873), respectively. The AUC (95% CI) for the combined evaluation of these indicators was 0.911 (0.839-0.958), indicating that the combined evaluation had a higher predictive value for GDM than the use of a single indicator ( P < 0.05). Conclusions:The changes in BMI and blood glucose indicators during early pregnancy are closely related to the occurrence of GDM. The combination of these measurements has a high predictive value for GDM and is of significant importance for its prevention.
