Objective:To investigate the value of soluble interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptor (sIL-6R) level in predicting ultrafiltration insufficiency in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.Methods:It was a prospective cohort study. The patients who received continuous ambulatory PD and regular follow-up between November 2016 and July 2018 in the PD Center of Renji Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University were enrolled. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to determine dialysate sIL-6R and its appearance rate (AR) was calculated. Patients were divided into high sIL-6R AR group and low sIL-6R AR group according to median value of sIL-6R AR and prospectively followed up until death, PD cessation, or the end of the study (December 31, 2022). Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the related factors of sIL-6R AR. Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were used to compare the survival rate difference of ultrafiltration insufficiency between high sIL-6R AR group and low sIL-6R AR group. Multivariate Cox regression and multivariate competing risk models were used to assess the risk factors associated with occurrence of ultrafiltration insufficiency.Results:A total of 198 PD patients were enrolled, including 115 (58.1%) males, with age of (54.9±13.7) years old and PD duration of 22.5 (6.6, 65.0) months. The sIL-6R AR of the cohort was 2 094.7 (1 672.4, 2 920.9) pg/min. Compared with low sIL-6R AR(<2 094.7 pg/min)group, high sIL-6R AR(>2 094.7 pg/min)group had older age ( t=-3.269, P=0.001), higher body mass index ( t=-3.248, P=0.001), proportion of combined diabetes mellitus ( χ2=8.890, P=0.003), 24 h glucose exposure ( Z=-2.257, P=0.024), 24 h ultrafiltration capacity ( Z=-2.515, P=0.012), 4 h dialysate creatinine to serum creatinine ratio ( t=-2.609, P=0.010), mass transfer area coefficient of creatinine ( Z=-2.308, P=0.021), IL-6 AR ( Z=-3.533, P<0.001) and solute glycoprotein 130 AR ( Z=-8.670, P<0.001), and lower serum albumin ( t=2.595, P=0.010) and residual renal function ( t=2.133, P=0.033). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that body mass index ( β=0.194, P=0.005), serum albumin ( β=-0.215, P=0.002) and dialysate lg[IL-6 AR] ( β=0.197, P=0.011) were independently correlated with sIL-6R AR. By the end of the study, 57 (28.8%) patients developed ultrafiltration insufficiency. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that high sIL-6R AR group had a significantly inferior ultrafiltration insufficiency-free survival rate than that in low sIL-6R AR group (log-rank χ 2=5.375, P=0.020). Multivariate Cox regression analysis and multivariate competing risk models showed that high dialysate sIL-6R AR (>2 094.7 pg/min) was an independent influencing factor of ultrafiltration insufficiency ( HR=2.286 , 95% CI 1.254-4.165 , P=0.007 ; SHR=2.074, 95% CI 1.124-3.828, P=0.020) in PD patients. Conclusions:Dialysate sIL-6R level was associated with body mass index, serum albumin and dialysate IL-6 level. Dialysate sIL-6R may be a predictive factor of ultrafiltration insufficiency in PD patients.

It was a single-center cross-sectional study to investigate the association of serum C3 level with blood pressure and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients with idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN). The clinical and pathological data of 98 patients with IMN diagnosed by renal biopsy in the Department of Nephrology of East Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University from August 1, 2018 to October 31, 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The demographic characteristics, serum complement C3 and other clinical data were compared between the non-hypertension group ( n=37) and hypertension group ( n=61). Pearson or Spearman correlation analysis method was used to analyze the correlation between serum C3 and eGFR in IMN patients and IMN patients with hypertension. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the related factors of eGFR in IMN patients with chronic kidney disease stage 1-3 in hypertension group. The results showed that compared with the non-hypertension group, the patients in hypertension group were older, and had higher levels of serum creatinine, cystatin C, urinary microalbumin to creatinine ratio, serum C3 and C4, and lower eGFR (all P<0.05). The correlation analysis showed that there was no correlation between serum C3 level and eGFR in IMN patients ( r=0.118, P=0.247). However, serum C3 level was positively correlated with eGFR in IMN patients with hypertension ( r=0.325, P=0.011). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that eGFR was negatively correlated with age ( β=-0.328, P=0.013), and positively correlated with serum C3 level ( β=0.228, P=0.048). The study shows that serum C3 level in hypertension group is higher than that in non-hypertension group in IMN patients. Moreover, serum C3 is positively correlated with eGFR.

Objective:To investigate the role of speckle-type POZ(pox virus and zinc finger protein) protein (SPOP) in enterovirus 71 (EV71) infection.Methods:Immunoprecipitation analysis was employed to examine the impact of SPOP on the ubiquitin level of EV71 non-structural protein 2A protease (2A pro), while the phosphorylation level of IFR3 protein was assessed through Western blot. Cells were either overexpressed or knockdown of SPOP, followed by infection with EV71. RT-qPCR was utilized to analyze the transcription level of IFN-β, and the transcription level and protein level of EV71 structural protein VP1 were determined using RT-qPCR and Western blot, respectively. Results:The inhibition of EV71 infection in RD cells was observed following transfection with HA-SPOP. Additionally, it was found that the ubiquitin level of EV71-2A pro increased in a gradient-dependent manner. Subsequent transfection with shSPOP plasmid for endogenous SPOP knockdown resulted in a dose-dependent decrease in the levels of melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5), mitochondrial antiviral signaling (MAVS), and p-IRF3. Conversely, transfection with HA-SPOP plasmid led to a dose-dependent increase in the levels of MDA5, MAVS, and p-IRF3. The expression of SPOP, whether high or low, had an impact on the expression of IFN-β in cells. Additionally, the levels of VP1 mRNA or protein were found to be inhibited or increased. Conclusions:SPOP plays a role in increasing the ubiquitination level of EV71-2A pro, which in turn promotes the phosphorylation level of IRF3 and secretion of IFN-β. This effect is achieved by inhibiting the cleavage of 2A pro against key molecules MAVS and MDA5 in the RLR signaling pathway, ultimately leading to the inhibition of EV71 replication.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective:To investigate the value of intratumoral and peritumoral radiomics models based on 18F-FDG PET-CT in predicting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status in lung adenocarcinoma and interpret peritumoral radiomics features. Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. Patients with lung adenocarcinoma who underwent 18F-FDG PET-CT at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University between January 2018 and April 2022 were retrospectively collected and samplied into a training set (309 cases) and a test set (206 cases) in a 6∶4 ratio randomly. Radiomics features were extracted from the intratumoral and peritumoral regions of interest based on PET and CT images, respectively, and the optimal feature sets were selected. Radiomics models were established using the XGBoost algorithm, and radiomics scores (intratumoral CT label, peritumoral CT label, intratumoral PET label, peritumoral PET label) were calculated. Logistic regression analysis was used to construct a clinical model and a combined model (incorporating PET-CT intratumoral and peritumoral radiomics, clinical features, and CT semantic features). The predictive performance of the models was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curves and the area under the curve (AUC). Unsupervised clustering, Spearman correlation analysis, and visualization methods were used for the interpretability of peritumoral radiomics features. Results:In both the training and test sets, the AUC value of CT peritumoral labels was greater than that of CT intratumoral labels for predicting EGFR mutation status in lung adenocarcinoma (training set: Z=3.84, P<0.001; test set: Z=1.99, P=0.046). In the test set, the AUC value of PET intratumoral labels (0.684) was slightly higher than that of PET peritumoral labels (0.672) for predicting EGFR mutation status, but the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The combined model had the highest AUC value for predicting EGFR mutation status of lung adenocarcinoma in both the training and test sets and was significantly better than the clinical model (training set: Z=6.52, P<0.001; test set: Z=2.31, P=0.021). Interpretability analysis revealed that CT peritumoral radiomics features were correlated with CT shape features, and there were significant differences in CT peritumoral features between different EGFR mutation statuses. Conclusions:The value of CT peritumoral labels is superior to that of CT intratumoral labels in predicting EGFR mutation status in lung adenocarcinoma. The predictive performance of the model can be improved by combining PET-CT intratumoral and peritumoral radiomics, clinical features, and CT semantic features.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease often characterized by cognitive impairment in clinical practice. The main pathogenesis includes β amyloid protein (Aβ) excessive deposition, neuroinflammatory response, Tau protein hyperphosphorylation, and other factors, and currently only a few chemical drugs have been approved for clinical treatment of AD. The mechanism of action is relatively single, so it is imperative to find new treatment strategies. Traditional Chinese medicine theory believes that the loss of nourishment in the brain and marrow, as well as the loss of vital energy, is the internal mechanisms underlying the occurrence and development of AD, which runs through the entire treatment process. The pathogenesis of AD is closely related to the inflammasome signaling pathway of nucleotide binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3). Activating the NLRP3 signaling pathway increases neuroinflammatory response, intervenes in microglial polarization, and regulates Aβ sedimentation, cellular autophagy, brain homeostasis, etc. This article takes the NLRP3 signaling pathway as the starting point to sort out and summarize the upstream and downstream targets under the AD mechanism in the past five years, as well as the research on the NLRP3 signal pathway targets with the participation of the relevant traditional Chinese medicine compounds, such as Danggui Shaoyaosan, modified Shuyu Wan, Qingxin Kaiqiao prescription, Kaixin San, Jiedu Yizhi prescription, and modified Buwang San, traditional Chinese medicine monomer extracts, such as silibinin, Lycium barbarum polysaccharides, liquiritigenin, salidroside, baicalin, cinnamaldehyde, betaine, acacetin, and Hericium erinaceus, and acupuncture and moxibustion. It also reviews the latest achievements in the prevention and treatment of AD. This study provides ideas and directions for in-depth research on the prevention and treatment of cognitive dysfunction related diseases with traditional Chinese medicine.
