Objective To analyze the risk factors for catheter-related thrombosis(CRT)in the upper arm infusion port(UAP)and to construct a machine-learning prediction model.Methods A total of 6028 patients,who received UAP implantation at Shanghai Renji Hospital of China from February 2014 to February 2023,were enrolled in this study.The patients were divided into training set(n=4 219)and validation set(n=1 809).Six machine-learning prediction models,including Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator(LASSO)regression,random forest,decision tree,neural network,XGBoost and logistic,were constructed,and the model having best performance was selected as the optimal model.SHapely Additive exPlanations(SHAP)analysis was used to explain the neural network model,and DALEXtra package was used to explain the continuous variables.Results The neural network model was chosen as the final model.The variables,in order of the degree of importance from high to low,included sex,the diameter of catheter,catheter tip confirmation method,the length of catheter,inpatient or outpatient status,history of central venous catheter implantation,the length of subcutaneous tunnel,age,body mass index(BMI),primary tip displacement,and left or right venous approach.The learning curve,i.e.the area under curve(AUC)of the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve,for the training set was＞0.6,and the Delong testing and Bootstrap Methods Test showed that the neural network model performed well(P＜0.05).The Kolmogorov-Smirnov plot(KS plot)value was 0.313 5,indicating that the model had the good ability of discrimination.The clinical impact curve(CIC)assessment revealed that the model had good clinical value.Conclusion The machine-learning prediction model of upper arm infusion port with CRT has been successfully constructed.For minimizing the risk of CRT,it is recommended to prioritize the use of 5 F diameter catheters,adopt left-sided venous approach and positioning the tip of the catheter based on anatomical measurements,besides,the catheter length should be not shorter than 36.56 cm,and the subcutaneous tunnel length should not be less than 5 cm.The basic features associated with higher CRT risk include age of 50-65 years,BMI being between 18.69 kg/m2 and 20.81 kg/m2 or between 23.68 kg/m2 and 23.94 kg/m2 and male.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of plantamajoside(PMS)on diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN)and to explore its mechanism of action from mitochondrial autophagy.Methods Mice(C57BL/6J)were randomly divided into 6 groups(n=10):normal group(Control),model group(Model),positive drug group(LA),and low(L-PMS),medium(M-PMS),and high(H-PMS)dosage groups.High-sugar and high-fat diet with intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin was used to duplicate the DPN model.After successful model duplication,the intervention was administered by gavage for 4 weeks.Sciatic nerve was taken,and pathological changes were observed by HE and Nissl staining;oxidative stress indexes SOD,MDA,GSH-Px and inflammatory factors such as IL-1β,IL-6,TNF-αin sciatic nerve tissues were detected by kits,and the expression of VDAC1,TOM20,COX IV,PINK1,Parkin,and autophagy proteins of Beclin1,LC3,P62 in mouse sciatic nerves was detected by Western blotting.Results PMS dose-dependently improved the behavioral indexes of DPN mice,reduced the pathological damage of sciatic nerve,and resulted in tightly arranged sciatic nerve fibers,clearly visible myelin structure,uniform coloration,and increased number of Schwann cells as well as Nissl bodies.Compared with the model group,both the M-PMS group and the H-PMS group increased the expression levels of SOD and GSH-Px(P<0.05),while decreased the expression of MDA(P<0.05);the M-PMS group and the H-PMS groups reduced the expression of IL-1β,IL-6,and TNF-α(P<0.05);the L-PMS group,M-PMS group,and H-PMS group reduced the expression levels of VDAC1,TOM20,and COX IV proteins(P<0.05);the L-PMS group,M-PMS group,and H-PMS group could differentially increase the expression of PINK1,Beclin1,Parkin,and LC3 proteins(P<0.05),and decrease the expression of P62 proteins(P<0.05).Conclusion PMS can play a role in ameliorating neurological injury in DPN mice by promoting PINK1/Parkin pathway-mediated mitochondrial autophagy and alleviating oxidative stress-related inflammatory injury.

Spastic paraplegia type 4 (SPG4) is the most common type of autosomally inherited spastic paraplegia. Its main clinical features include typical simple hereditary spastic paraplegia, with neurological impairments limited to lower limb spasticity, hypertonic bladder dysfunction, and mild weakening of lower limb vibration sensation, without accompanying features such as nerve atrophy, ataxia, cognitive impairment, seizures, and muscle tone disorders. SPAST is the main pathogenic gene underlying SPG4, and various pathogenic SPAST variants have been discovered. This disease has featured a high degree of clinical heterogeneity, and the same pathogenic variant can have different age of onset and severity among patients and even within the same family. There is a lack of systematic research on the correlation between the genotype and phenotype of SPG4, and the pathogenic mechanism has remained controversial. This article has provided a review for the clinical characteristics, pathogenic gene characteristics, correlation between the genotype and phenotype, and pathogenic mechanism of this disease, with an aim to provide reference for its clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To analyze the early warning value of laboratory examination on admission of patients with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome to critically ill patients.Meetods:In this study, a retrospective case-control study was used to analyze the clinical data and laboratory examination results of patients with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome admitted to the emergency department of Tangdu Hospital of Air Force Medical University from January 2021 to January 2022. According to the patient's laboratory indexes and clinical symptoms, the patients were divided into mild, moderate, severe and critical groups. The general data of the two groups were compared, and the independent risk factors of critically ill patients were screened by multi-factor logistic regression analysis, the predictive model of severe HFRS patients was constructed, and the ROC curve was drawn. .Results:Of the 164 patients with HFRS, 50 were in the severe group and 114 in the mild group. The serum levels of WBC, AST, ALT, Cr, BUN, DD and PCT in the severe group were higher than those in the mild group, while the levels of PLT, ALB and PTA in the severe group were lower than those in the mild group. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that WBC, PLT and PCT were independent influencing factors for the progression of critically ill patients. The predictive model of severe HFRS was established as follows: logit (P) = -0.321 + 0.040 WBC (×10 9/L) -0.045 PLT (×10 9/L) + 0.086 PCT(ng/mL). The early warning ef?cacy of WBC, PLT, And PCT for severe HFRS was further analyzed. The area under the ROC curve (area under curve, AUC) was 0.779, 0.842, 0.862, and the optimal threshold was 10.435×109/L, 41.5 ×109/Land 2.97 ng/mL, respectively. The AUC of joint detection is 0.900, the sensitivity is 88.0%, and the speci?city is 82.5%, which is better than that of a single laboratory. . Conclusions:HFRS laboratory indexes have certain clinical signi?cance for the identi?cation of critically ill patients, in which serum WBC, PLT and PCT indexes are the risk factors of severe HFRS, which provides a theoretical basis for clinical diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of severe HFRS patients.

Objective:To assess the feasibility of wavelet index (WLI) in monitoring the depth of sedation with propofol in pediatric patients.Methods:This was a prospective observational trial. One hundred and sixty-five pediatric patients, aged >1-12 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ, undergoing elective surgery requiring general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation or laryngeal mask airway from July to December 2016 in our hospital, were divided into 11 age groups ( n=15 each): >1-2 yr group, >2-3 yr group, >3-4 yr group, >4-5 yr group, >5-6 yr group, >6-7 yr group, >7-8 yr group, >8-9 yr group, >9-10 yr group, >10-11 yr group, and >11-12 yr group. General anesthesia was induced by injection of propofol 3 mg/kg for more than 30 s. WLI and BIS values were recorded immediately before administration and at 30, 40, 50, 60, 90, 120, 180 and 240 s after the end of administration. If there were differences among age groups, age groups with no statistically significant differences were combined and re-grouped. Pearson linear correlation analysis and Bland-Altman consistency analysis were performed. Results:A total of 149 pediatric patients were actually included. There were no significant differences in BIS values between 4 groups aged > 1-5 yr and between 7 groups aged > 5-12 yr ( P>0.05). Regrouping was performed based on the aforementioned results, 4 groups of children aged > 1-5 yr were divided into > 1-5 yr group ( n=60), and 7 groups of children aged > 5-12 yr were divided into > 5-12 yr group ( n=89). WLI values and BIS values were significantly decreased at each time point after administration compared with immediately before administration in group aged > 1-5 yr and in group aged >5-12 yr ( P<0.05). The BIS values were the lowest at 60 s after the end of the administration, and the WLI values were the lowest at 120 and 180 s after the end of the administration in two groups ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences between WLI values and BIS values at 90 s and 240 s after the end of the administration ( P>0.05), and there was statistically significant difference at the other time points in group aged > 1-5 yr ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference between WLI values and BIS values at 180 s and 240 s after the end of the administration ( P>0.05), but there were significant differences at the other time points in group aged > 5-12 yr ( P<0.05). The Pearson correlation coefficients between WLI values and BIS values were 0.61 and 0.56 in group aged > 1-5 yr and group aged > 5-12 yr, respectively ( P<0.001). Bland-Altman agreement analysis: In group aged > 1-5 yr and group aged > 5-12 yr, the 95% agreement limits were -0.484-0.621 and -0.551-1.015, respectively, and there were 4.6% (23/504) and 5.1% (40/777) of the points outside the 95% agreement limits, respectively, and both limits exceeded the clinically acceptable range. Conclusions:WLI is feasible for monitoring the depth of sedation with propofol in pediatric patients aged > 1-12 yr, but the accuracy is lower than BIS.

Objective To study the correlation between the risk of ischemic cardiovascular disease(ICVD)and behavior and life style of special service personnel,and to provide targeted reference for health intervention of special service personnel,so as to reduce the incidence of ICVD and ensure the combat effectiveness.Methods A total of 1 205 special service personnel in a sanatorium in Hangzhou from January 2019 to December 2021 were enrolled in this retrospective study.Their health records were collected and sorted out.A self-made health behavior and lifestyle questionnaire survey was conducted among them under the guidance of professionals.Results There were significant differences in the prevalence of smoking,and the incidences of diabetes and hypercholesterolemia among different age groups(χ2=13.481,P=0.009;χ2=13.888,P=0.008;χ2=24.505,P<0.001).There were no significant differences in the proportion of people with BMI≥24 or systolic blood pressure≥140 mmHg among different age groups(χ2=9.247,P=0.055;χ2=2.400,P=0.663).The mean absolute risk of ICVD in the next 10 years was(1.44±1.30)%.In the next 10 years,there was 1 case(0.08%)with a medium absolute risk of ICVD,37 cases(3.07%)with low risk,and 1 167 cases(96.85%)with extremely low risk.The relative risk of ICVD significantly increased with age in the next 10 years(χ2=25.774,P<0.001).There were significant differences between the relative risk of ICVD and behavior and lifestyle among the special service personnel in the next 10 years in terms of average daily intake of fish and aquatic products,average daily intake of egg and egg products,breakfast days per week,average weekly exercise time,average weekly passive smoking,and years of alcohol consumption(F=9.794,P=0.002;F=7.523,P=0.006;F=5.622,P=0.018;F=5.955,P=0.015;F=4.777,P=0.029;F=18.946,P<0.001).The average daily intake of fish and aquatic products and years of alcohol consumption were risk factors for ICVD(OR=1.330,P=0.004;OR=1.482,P<0.001).Breakfast days per week was protective factor for ICVD(OR=0.772,P=0.024).Conclusion The development of healthy behavior and lifestyle of special service personnel is of great significance for the prevention of ICVD.With the increase of age,the risk of ICVD is relatively increased.Developing good living and eating habits,eating breakfast every day,reasonable diet,smoking cessation and alcohol restriction have a certain protective effect on the prevention of ICVD.

Objective:The common protocol deviation (PD) in clinical trials of drugs for rheumatic diseases were analyzed to provide reference for improving the quality of clinical trials and protecting the safety and rights of subjects.Methods:Protocol deviation (PD) reports of completed projects conducted by Department of Rheumatology and Immunology, the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University, from 2017 to 2021 were collected and sorted out for analysis. Results:The common PD and proportion of deviation were deviation from protocol study procedures (25.4%, 44/173), low medication compliance (23.7%, 41/173), visits out of the scheduled visit dates or the tests or examinations out od the inspection window period (19.1%, 33/173), missed visit or missed laboratory tests (17.9%, 31/174), using of prohibited drugs (9.2%, 16/173) and violation of inclusion criteria or exclusion criteria (4.6%, 8/173). 135 cases were mild and 38 cases severe deviation. PPS was eliminated in 5 subjects during statistical analysis.Conclusion:①Investigator training should be strengthened and the operability should be taken into account in clinical trial design. In the implementation process, the inclusion and exclusion criteria should be strictly followed and the should adherent to study procedures. ②The institution should actively promote the development of hospital information system to reduce investigator associated PD. ③The education and management of subject should be strengthened to ensure their compliance and improve the quality of clinical trials to protect the safety and rights of subjects. ④Institute should strengthen the management of trail supervisors and emphasis on problems identification during inspections.

Objective:To investigate the value of a deep learning method based on MobileNet in classification of bedside chest radiograph and improvement of the work efficiency.Methods:A total of 6, 320 bedside chest radiographs from January 2017 to December 2022 in the Second Peoples′ Hospital of Changzhou were retrospectively collected. The included cases were divided into normal group (885 images), pneumonia group (1 927 images), pleural effusion group (373 images), and pneumonia with pleural effusion group (3 135 images). Three hundred and fifty images were selected as a validation set, while the remaining images were divided into a train set (4 775 images) and a test set (1 195 images) using simple randomization, by 8∶2 ratio. Two lightweight convolutional neural network models (MobileNetV1 and MobileNetV2) were used to construct a bedside chest radiograph classification model, based on which two fine-tuning strategies were designed. Four models were generated namely MobileNetV1_False (V1_False), MobileNetV1_True (V1_True), MobileNetV2_False (V2_False) and MobileNetV2_True (V2_True). In the first stage, a binary classification model was established to divide the images into normal and lesion groups; then a four-class classification model was established in the second stage, with which the images were divided into four groups: normal, pneumonia, pleural effusion and pneumonia with pleural effusion. Metrics for model performance evaluation including accuracy (Ac), precision (Pr), recall rate (Rc), F1 score (F1) and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) were calculated.Results:In both the first and second stages, V1_True and V2_True had higher Ac, Pr, Rc, and F1 than V1_False and V2_False in both the training set and validation set; and the V1_True model outperformed the other three models in classification. The classification Ac of the V1_True model in the validation set was higher than that of radiologists in the first stage [95.71% (335/350) vs. 90.29% (316/350)] and in the second stage [93.43% (327/350) vs. 87.14% (305/350)]. The recognition time of V1_True model′s in the validation set of 350 bedside chest radiographs was significantly less than that of the radiologists (mean: 17 s vs. 300 min).Conclusions:V1_True is an optimal MobileNet model for classifying bedside chest radiographs. The application of this model in clinical practice may help to accurately identify the information of lung lesions from bedside chest radiographs in time, and may improve the work efficiency in the radiology department.

The solute carrier family 12(SLC12)of cation-chloride cotransporters(CCCs)comprises potassium chlo-ride cotransporters(KCCs,e.g.KCC1,KCC2,KCC3,and KCC4)-mediated Cl-extrusion,and sodium po-tassium chloride cotransporters(N[K]CCs,NKCC1,NKCC2,and NCC)-mediated Cl-loading.The CCCs play vital roles in cell volume regulation and ion homeostasis.Gain-of-function or loss-of-function of these ion transporters can cause diseases in many tissues.In recent years,there have been considerable ad-vances in our understanding of CCCs'control mechanisms in cell volume regulations,with many tech-niques developed in studying the functions and activities of CCCs.Classic approaches to directly measure CCC activity involve assays that measure the transport of potassium substitutes through the CCCs.These techniques include the ammonium pulse technique,radioactive or nonradioactive rubidium ion uptake-assay,and thallium ion-uptake assay.CCCs'activity can also be indirectly observed by measuring y-aminobutyric acid(GABA)activity with patch-clamp electrophysiology and intracellular chloride con-centration with sensitive microelectrodes,radiotracer 36Cl-,and fluorescent dyes.Other techniques include directly looking at kinase regulatory sites phosphorylation,flame photometry,22Na+uptake assay,structural biology,molecular modeling,and high-throughput drug screening.This review sum-marizes the role of CCCs in genetic disorders and cell volume regulation,current methods applied in studying CCCs biology,and compounds developed that directly or indirectly target the CCCs for disease treatments.
