Objective To analyze the main causes and risk factors of unplanned reoperation after liver transplantation. Methods The clinical data of 242 liver transplant recipients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from January 2015 to December 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether unplanned reoperation was performed during the same hospitalization after surgery, the recipients were divided into the reoperation group (n=36) and the non-reoperation group (n=206). The preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative data of the two groups, as well as donor and graft-related data, were compared to analyze the risk factors of unplanned reoperation after liver transplantation and the survival status of the two groups. Results Among the 242 liver transplant recipients, 36 underwent unplanned reoperations, with a total of 54 procedures including various laparotomies, endoscopic and interventional surgeries, among which there were 20 laparotomies, 18 endoscopic surgeries and 16 interventional surgeries. The most common cause of unplanned reoperation was biliary complications (20 times), followed by vascular complications (17 times). Compared with the non-reoperation group, the reoperation group had longer graft cold ischemia time, higher postoperative fatality rate of recipients, longer length of stay in the intensive care unit and postoperative hospital stay, and higher total hospitalization costs (all P<0.05). The incidence of unplanned reoperation was higher in recipients who underwent split liver transplantation (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that intraoperative blood loss ≥1 000 mL, positive culture of graft perfusate and split liver transplantation were independent risk factors for unplanned reoperation (all P<0.05). The postoperative 7-day, 1-month, 3-month and 6-month survival rates of recipients in the reoperation group and the non-reoperation group were 100% vs. 98.1%, 88.9% vs. 94.2%, 69.4% vs. 90.8% and 66.7% vs. 90.8%, respectively, and the postoperative survival rate of recipients in the reoperation group was lower than that in the non-reoperation group (P<0.05). Conclusions The main causes of unplanned reoperation after liver transplantation are biliary complications, vascular complications, abdominal incision infection and intra-abdominal hemorrhage. Intraoperative massive blood loss, positive culture of graft perfusate and split liver transplantation are the risk factors associated with unplanned reoperation after liver transplantation.

Bovine piroplasmosis, caused by infections with genus of Babesia and Theileria, is a tick-borne hemoparasitic disease. Recovered cattle often become asymptomatic persistent carriers, which represent potential sources of infection, and the pathogens of some forms of bovine piroplasmosis have zoonotic potential, which greatly threatens the public health security. Currently, the etiological diagnostic approaches of bovine piroplasmosis mainly include microscopy of blood smears, PCR assay, fluorescent quantitative real-time PCR assay, and loop-mediated isothermal amplification, and serological assay mainly includes indirect fluorescent antibody assay, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunochromatographic assay. This article systematically reviews the advances in the application of etiological approaches and serological assay for diagnosis of bovine piroplasmosis, and proposes future directions in the development of bovine piroplasmosis diagnosis, so as to provide insights into effective surveillance and precision control of bovine piroplasmosis in China.

This study aimed to investigate the association between secondhand smoke exposure in different places and overweight/obesity among children and adolescents. Children and adolescents aged 7 to 18 years old in Hunan Province were recruited for questionnaire surveys and physical examinations using a multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method. Secondhand smoke exposure was evaluated according to the answer to the question, "Has someone smoked in front of you in the last 7 days?". Overweight and obesity were determined using BMI-for-age and BMI-for-sex according to the national standard WS/T586-2018. Multivariate logistic regression was used to explore the association between secondhand smoke exposure in different places and overweight/obesity among children and adolescents. A total of 187 863 participants were included in this study, with a prevalence of overweight and obesity of 28.4%. The prevalence of secondhand smoke exposure at home, school and other public places was 25.5%, 12.6% and 32.3%, respectively. Children and adolescents with secondhand smoke exposure at home, school and other public places had a higher prevalence of overweight and obesity than those without exposure. After adjusting for confounding factors, secondhand smoke exposure was positively associated with overweight and obesity among children and adolescents, and exposure at home showed the closest association ( OR=1.091; 95% CI: 1.066-1.117). In conclusion, secondhand smoke exposure, especially at home, significantly increases the risk of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents. Comprehensive strategies should be implemented to avoid secondhand smoke exposure and protect children and adolescents from overweight and obesity.

Turning to critical illness is a common stage of various diseases and injuries before death. Patients usually have complex health conditions, while the treatment process involves a wide range of content, along with high requirements for doctor′s professionalism and multi-specialty teamwork, as well as a great demand for time-sensitive treatments. However, this is not matched with critical care professionals and the current state of medical care in China. Telemedicine, which shortens the distance of medical professionals and the gap of disease diagnosis and treatments in various regions through electronic information, can effectively solve the current problem. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a standardized, high-quality visualization telemedicine round system .Therefore, experts have been organized to search domestic and foreign literature on telemedicine round for critically ill patients and to form this consensus based on clinical experiences so as to further improve the level of critical care treatments in regions.

Objective To investigate the relationships of CXC motif chemokine ligand 10(CXCL10)and CC motif chemokine ligand 11(CCL11)in the peripheral blood with type 2 diabetic osteoporosis(T2DOP),and to construct a predictive model.Methods A total of 260 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)were prospectively selected as the T2DM group.They were divided into T2DOP group(n=82)and non-T2DOP group(n=178)according to the occurrence of T2DOP.Additionally,68 healthy volunteers with physical examinations in the same period were se-lected as control group.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the levels of CXCL10 and CCL11 in the peripheral blood as well as bone metabolism indicators[β-C-terminal te-lopeptide of type Ⅰ collagen(β-CTX),N-terminal propeptide of type Ⅰ procollagen(PⅠNP)].Pear-son correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation of CXCL10 and CCL11 in peripheral blood with bone metabolism indicator levels in patients with T2DM.Multifactor non-conditional Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of T2DOP and construct a pre-dictive model.The Hosmer-Lemeshow(H-L)test was used to assess the goodness of fit.The re-ceiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis was used to evaluate the predictive value of each indicator and the predictive model for T2DOP,and decision curve analysis and Bootstrap resa-mpling were used for internal validation.Results Compared with the control group,the levels of CXCL10 and CCL11 in the peripheral blood as well as β-CTX in the T2DM group were significantly increased,while the level of P Ⅰ NP was significantly decreased(P＜0.05).Pearson correlation a-nalysis showed that CXCL10 and CCL11 in the peripheral blood in patients with T2DM were posi-tively correlated with β-CTX level(r=0.786,0.816,P＜0.001)and negatively correlated with P ⅠNP level(r=-0.675,-0.716,P＜0.001).Compared with the non-T2DOP group,the T2DOP group had significantly increased age and the ratio of diabetic nephropathy,prolonged dura-tion of diabetes,decreased body mass index(BMI)and P ⅠNP levels,and increased fasting blood glucose,glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c),β-CTX,CXCL10,and CCL11 levels(P＜0.05).Non-conditional Logistic regression analysis showed that advanced age,long duration of diabetes,high HbA1c,high CXCL10,and high CCL11 were independent risk factors for T2DOP(P＜0.05),while high BMI was an independent protective factor(P＜0.05).The ROC curve showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of the predictive model for predicting T2DOP was 0.919,which was significantly greater than the AUCs of 0.643,0.742,0.654,0.715,0.759 and 0.741 respectively for age,duration of diabetes,BMI,HbA1c,CXCL10 and CCL11 alone(Z=7.468,5.400,7.415,6.365,5.242,5.800,P＜0.001).After internal validation,the decision curve of the predictive model was higher than the two extreme curves.After 1,000 times of Bootstrap resampling internal validations,the concordance index of the predictive model was 0.919(95％CI,0.914 to 0.923).Conclusion Increased levels of CXCL10 and CCL11 in the peripheral blood are associat-ed with T2DOP,and the predictive model constructed based on these factors has a high predictive value for T2DOP.

Objective:To analyze the incidence of surgical site infection (SSI) in patients undergoing colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery and to identify risk factors associated with SSI in an attempt to provide a reference for clinical prevention strategies.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. Clinical data were retrospectively collected from a total of 2,248 patients who underwent surgery for pathologically confirmed CRC between 2017 and 2022 at two centers: Huangshan Shoukang Hospital ( n=649) and Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital ( n=1 599). Inclusion criteria consisted of the following: (1) age >18 years; (2) pathologically confirmed CRC treated with curative resection, including extended resections (e.g. pelvic exenteration); (3) no surgical incisions other than abdominal or perineal; and (4) no use of prosthetic implants. The incidence of SSI was analyzed, and multivariate logistic regression was used to identify independent its risk factors. Results:A total of 121 patients (5.4%) developed SSI. Among them, 68 cases (56.2%) were organ/space infections, 35 cases (28.9%) were deep incisional infections, and 18 cases (14.9%) were superficial incisional infections. The median postoperative hospital stay was significantly longer in patients with SSI compared to those without (21.0 days vs. 13.0 days, U=65,754, P<0.001). The median hospitalization cost was also significantly higher in the SSI group (56,550 yuan vs. 43,645 yuan, U=72,008, P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified body mass index (BMI) ≤ 20 kg/m 2 (OR=4.25, 95%CI: 3.38-5.34, P<0.001), diabetes mellitus (OR=3.44, 95%CI: 1.89-6.24, P<0.001), open surgery (OR=4.23, 95%CI: 2.37-7.56, P<0.001), and colostomy or ileostomy (OR=1.67, 95% CI: 1.04-2.69, P=0.034) as independent risk factors for SSI. Conclusion:To prevent SSI following CRC surgery, attention should be given to optimizing body weight and glycemic control, promoting minimally invasive surgical approaches when feasible, and cautiously considering the necessity of colostomy or ileostomy.

Objective To explore the influencing factors of hypothermia after extraperitoneal laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in prostate cancer patients over 80 years old,so as to improve the effectiveness of treatment.Methods The clinical data of 26 cases of prostate cancer patients over 80 years old who underwent extraperitoneal laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in Shanghai 411 hospital from January 2021 to December 2023 were analyzed retrospectively.The incidence of postoperative hypothermia was investigated.Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were used to analyze the related factors of postoperative hypothermia in elderly patients.Results The incidence of hypothermia was 61.54%(16/26).Univariate analysis indicated that body mass index(BMI),intraoperative thermal insulation,intraoperative infusion volume,operation time,and anesthesia time were related to the occurrence of postoperative hypothermia in elderly patients(all P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that BMI≤24,intraoperative infusion volume>2 000 ml,anesthesia time>3 h and operation time>2.5 h were high risk factors for postoperative hypothermia in patients over 80 years old.Conclusion The independent influencing factors of hypothermia after extraperitoneal laparoscopic prostatectomy for selected prostate cancer patients over 80 years old are BMI,intraoperative infusion volume,duration of anesthesia,and operation time.These factors should be paid more attention during perioperative period in order to improve clinical safety.

Nuclear polyadenosine-binding protein 1(PABPN1)is the only known polyadenosine-binding protein in the cell nucleus of mammals.The first attention was resulted from relevant research on oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy(OPMD),where mutations and aggregation of PABPN1 were found to be the main pathogenesis of the disease.Recently,PABPN1 is found to be abnormally expressed in some tumor tissues,and confirmed to be in-volved in regulating selective polyadenylation,which leads to the occurrence and development of various human tumors.This article briefly introduces the structure and function of PABPN1,reviews progress of research related to PABPN1 and tumors in recent years,and provide our thought for exploring point potential pathways for future re-search on the role and mechanism of PABPN1 in the occurrence and development of tumors.

Objective To investigate the effects of circular RNA APLP2(circAPLP2)on the proliferation,migra-tion,and invasion of human colorectal cancer(CRC)cell lines by regulating microRNA-455-3p(miR-455-3p)/Stathmin1(STMN1)axis.Methods RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression of circAPLP2,miR-455-3p and STMN1 in CRC and normal colorectal cell lines and the optimal cell line was screened.Proliferation,migra-tion and invasion were detected by MTT assay,scratch assay and Transwell assay,respectively.The relationship between circAPLP2 and miR-455-3p,between miR-455-3p and STMN1 was confirmed by dual Lucifer's reporter gene assay.Results CircAPLP2 and STMN1 were highly expressed in CRC cells,miR-455-3p showed a low ex-pression.Knocking down circAPLP2 resulted in a decrease in rate of survival and of scratch healing rate and in-vasion of SW620 cells,An up regulation of miR-455-3p expression,a down regulation of STMN1,cyclin D1,N-cadherin protein expression and an up regulation of E-cadherin protein expression were also found(P<0.05).Inhibition of miR-455-3p expression reversed inhibitory effect of knocking down circAPLP2 on SW620 cell prolif-eration,migration,and invasion,up-regulated the STMN1,cyclin D1 and N-cadherin protein expression,and down-regulation of E-cadherin protein expression(P<0.05).Dual luciferase reporter gene assay showed that circAPLP2 targeted at negative regulation of miR-455-3p expression,while miR-455-3p targeted at negative reg-ulation of STMN1 expression.Nude mouse transplantation experiment found that knocking down circAPLP2 affect-ed the growth of transplanted tumors,while miR-455-3p expression was up-regulated and STMN1 expression was down-regulated(P<0.05).Conclusions CircAPLP2 inhibits the proliferation,migration and invasion of colorectal cancer cell lines by regulating the miR-455-3p/STMN1 axis.
