Objective: To systematically evaluate the influencing factors for repeated implantation failure (RIF) after in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) in China, so as to provide the evidence for prevention of RIF. Methods: Literature on influencing factors for RIF in China were retrieved from CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, China Medical Literature Service System, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library and Embase from inception to September, 2024. A meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 and Stata 14.0 softwares. Literature were excluded one by one for sensitivity analysis. Publication bias was evaluated using Egger's test. Results: Initially 4 836 relevant articles were retrieved, and 12 of them were finally included, with a total sample size of 11 554 individuals. There were 10 case-control studies, 1 cohort study, and 1 cross-sectional study; and 10 high-quality studies and 2 medium-quality studies. The meta-analysis showed that factors including advanced age (OR=1.121, 95%CI: 1.035-1.215), prolonged infertility duration (OR=1.237, 95%CI: 1.091-1.403), abnormal hysteroscopy findings (OR=2.205, 95%CI: 1.119-4.348), positive anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) (OR=2.393, 95%CI: 1.473-3.886), and positive anti-beta2 glycoprotein Ⅰ antibody (β2-GPⅠ-Ab) (OR=2.824, 95%CI: 1.987-4.013) were associated with an increased risk of RIF; while factors including the large number of embryos transferred (OR=0.309, 95%CI: 0.098-0.973), thicker endometrium (OR=0.601, 95%CI: 0.556-0.650), and higher granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) levels (OR=0.657, 95%CI: 0.511-0.845) were associated with a reduced risk of RIF. Conclusion IVF-ET RIF is associated with age, infertility duration, number of embryos transferred, endometrial thickness, hysteroscopy findings, G-CSF levels, ANA and β2-GPⅠ-Ab.

OBJECTIVE T o explore the distribution of pathogens and risk factors for hospital-associated infections in the laryngeal cancer patients undergoing tracheotomy so as to provide theoretical bases for reasonable clinical use of antibiotics.METHODS Totally 118 laryngeal cancer and tracheotomy patients who were complicated with infec-tions and treated in otolaryngology head and neck surgery department of The First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from Oct.2021 to Oct.2024 were retrospectively assigned as the infection group,meanwhile,the 118 patients who were not complicated with infections were chosen as the no infection group.The distribution and drug susceptibility rates of the pathogens isolated from clinical specimens of the patients with infections were observed,and the risk factors for the hospital-associated infections were explored.RESULTS Totally 168 strains of pathogens were isolated from the 118 patients with infections,107 of which were gram-negative bacteria,51 were gram-positive bacteria,and 10 were fungi.The result of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age(OR=2.435,95％CI:1.052 to 5.634),duration of tracheotomy(OR=3.525,95％CI:1.871 to 14.259),length of hospital stay(OR=2.829,95％CI:1.099 to 7.276)and complication with diabetes mellitus(OR=4.807,95％CI:1.704 to 13.557)were the risk factors for the hospital-associated infections in the laryngeal cancer pa-tients undergoing tracheotomy(P＜0.05).CONCLUSIONS The gram-negative bacteria are dominant among the pathogens isolated from the laryngeal cancer and tracheotomy patients with hospital-associated infections.The age,duration of tracheotomy,length of hospital stay and complication with diabetes mellitus are the risk factors for the hospital-associated infections in the laryngeal cancer patients undergoing tracheotomy.It is necessary to formulate the prevention and control measures based on the above factors so as to reduce the incidence of infec-tions.

McCune-Albright syndrome(MAS) is a postzygotic somatic mutation disorder caused by activating mutations in the GNAS gene, which encodes the α subunit of the stimulatory G protein. Its clinical features typically include polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, cafe-au-lait skin pigmentation, and endocrine hyperactivity, such as Cushing′s syndrome, hyperthyroidism, and growth hormone excess. Here, we report two rare cases of MAS complicated with adrenocorticotropic hormone(ACTH)-independent Cushing syndrome, and provide a review and analysis of previously reported MAS cases associated with Cushing′s syndrome.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the time characteristics of the Ethos online adaptive radiotherapy (OART) process in clinical practice and provide guidance for the comprehensive optimization of each stage of adaptive radiotherapy. METHODS: The study involved 61 patients with cervical, rectal, gastric, lung, esophageal, and breast cancers who underwent Ethos OART. The mean ± standard deviation of segmental time, total time, and target volume for these patients were tracked. The time characteristics for different cancer types were evaluated, and the average time for target and organ at risk (OAR) modifications was compared with the average target volume for each cancer type. RESULTS: Cervical cancer born the longest total treatment time, while breast cancer had the shortest. For all cancer types except breast cancer, the modification time for target and OAR was the most time-consuming segment. The average time for target and OAR modifications aligned with the trend of the average target volume. CONCLUSION The total treatment time for various cancers ranges from 15 to 35 minutes, indicating room for improvement.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and spatiotemporal distribution of hepatitis C in Henan province from 2012 to 2022.Methods:The case report data on hepatitis C from counties and districts in Henan between 2012 and 2022 were collected. The distribution characteristics were analyzed by descriptive epidemiological methods, and GeoDa1.2 software was used to perform spatial autocorrelation analysis. The spatiotemporal epidemiological analysis was conducted using SaTScan 10.1 software.Results:A total of 274 485 hepatitis C cases were reported in Henan from 2012 to 2022. The reported annual average incidence rate was 25.84/100 000 and showed an overall downward trend from 2012 to 2022 ( Z=-4.05, P<0.001). More cases were reported in women. The cases were mainly aged 40-69 years and farmers. Spatial autocorrelation analysis showed that the reported cases of hepatitis C present spatial clustering during 2012—2022, and the areas with high incidence were mainly distributed in counties or districts of Zhengzhou, Zhumadian, Xuchang, Zhoukou, and Nanyang. One class I clustering area was detected by spatiotemporal scanning, which mainly covered Xuchang, Pingdingshan and the surrounding counties ( LLR=16 117.73, RR=1.81, P<0.001). Conclusion:The reported cases of hepatitis C in Henan Province show an overall downward trend from 2012 to 2022 and present spatiotemporal clustering. The seasonal regularity of the hepatitis C epidemic is not obvious. People aged 40-69 years old and farmers are the key population for prevention and control.

B-cell lymphomas account for 70％-80％of non-Hodgkin lymphomas(NHL)and exhibit significant heterogeneity in genetic profiles,phenotypic characteristics,and clinical manifestations,posing substantial challenges for clinical management.The B-cell receptor(BCR)is a transmembrane receptor on the surface of B cells that plays a central regulatory role in B-cell development,activation,and adaptive immune responses.As a core mechanism driving malignant transformation in various B-cell malignancies,aberrant activation of the BCR signaling pathway,plays a pivotal role in B lymphoma pathogenesis.Dysregulated BCR signaling not only promotes tumor cell proliferation,survival,and anti-apoptotic capacity but also accelerates malignant progression.Consequently,researchers are vigorously exploring therapeutic strategies targeting BCR and its downstream pathways,including inhibitors of Bruton's tyrosine kinase(BTK)and PI3K,as well as direct BCR-targeted approaches.The central role of BCR signaling in lymphoma pathogenesis and treatment underscores its potential as a critical focus for future therapeutic development,offering new directions and hope for improved clinical outcomes.

Objective To construct a discharge preparation program for patients after total laryn-gectomy led by specialist nurses and explore its application effects.Methods A multidisciplinary team was established to construct a discharge preparation program for patients after total laryngectomy led by specialist nurses based on Meleis's transition theory.A total of 120 patients who underwent to-tal laryngectomy from April 2023 to October 2024 were selected as the study subjects.A total of 60 patients admitted from April to December 2023 were set as control group,and 60 patients admitted from January to October 2024 were set as intervention group.The intervention group implemented the discharge preparation program for patients after total laryngectomy led by specialist nurses,while the control group received conventional perioperative management after total laryngectomy.The discharge readiness,quality of discharge instruction,and incidence of complications during hospitalization on the day of discharge were compared between the two groups.Additionally,the scores of home health care experience at 1 and 3 months after discharge were compared between the two groups.Results On the day of discharge,the scores of each dimension and the total score of the discharge readinessscale in the intervention group were higher than those in the control group.The scores of the dimensions("Actually received content"and"Discharge instruction skills and effects")and the total score of the Quality of Discharge Instruction Scale in the intervention group were higher than those in the control group,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).The total incidence of complications during hospitalization in the intervention group was lower than that in the control group,with a sta-tistically significant difference(P＜0.05).At 1 and 3 months after discharge,the scores of the home health care experience scale in the intervention group were higher than those in the control group,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).Conclusion The construction of a dis-charge preparation service program for patients after total laryngectomy led by specialist nurses based on Meleis's transition theory can effectively improve the discharge readiness and quality of discharge instruction of patients undergoing total laryngectomy,reduce the incidence of complications,and im-prove the prognosis and early home health care level.

The number of patients with type 2 diabetes(T2DM)is rapidly increasing with the annual rise in obesity rates,placing a serious burden on healthcare systems worldwide.In recent years,the potential of lifestyle interventions(LSI)to prevent and treat T2DM through effective weight loss has been recognized,and their importance in the clinical prevention and treatment of T2DM has grown.However,there are still many challenges to be overcome in order to achieve effective LSI prevention and control of T2DM,from theory to clinical application,including a lack of professional guidance,poor patient compliance,and weight regain.Nevertheless,given the outstanding results of numerous evidence-based medical studies on lifestyle interventions in the prevention and treatment of T2DM,as well as their theoretical feasibility,the shift from a"drug-centric"to an"LSI-centric"bringing new hope and new challenges to the clinical prevention and treatment of T2DM.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of computed tomography (CT) combined with dynamic enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) parameters in patients with colorectal cancer after radical surgery.Methods:A total of 180 patients with colorectal cancer admitted to the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from Dec. 2021 to Dec. 2023 were retrospectively selected as the study objects. All patients were treated with radical resection of colorectal cancer and followed up for 12 months. They were divided into good prognosis group ( n=129) and poor prognosis group ( n=51) according to whether tumor recurrence and metastasis occurred. All patients were examined by CT and DCE-MRI. Clinical data, CT and DCE-MRI parameters were compared between the two groups. Cox regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of short-term adverse prognosis in patients with colorectal cancer, and ROC curve was drawn to analyze the value of SUV max, K trans, K ep and Ve in single or combined prediction of short-term adverse prognosis in patients with colorectal cancer. Results:SUV max, K trans, K ep and Ve in the poor prognosis group were higher than those in the good prognosis group ( P<0.05) . Cox regression analysis showed that high levels of SUV max ( HR=2.818, 95% CI= 1.808-4.393) , K trans ( HR=516.829, 95% CI=6.745-30603.733) , K ep ( HR=117.756, 95% CI= 4.598-3015.614) and Ve ( HR=9453.000, 95% CI= 63.534-1406482.337) were independent risk factors for short-term adverse prognosis in patients with colorectal cancer ( P<0.05) . The AUC value of SUVmax, K trans, K ep and Ve combined predicted short term adverse prognosis in colorectal cancer patients was higher than that of single detection ( Z=3.126, 4.359, 4.368, 3.987, P<0.05) . Conclusion:CT combined with DCE-MRI parameters have high predictive value for short term poor prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer after radical surgery.
