Objective To investigate the influence of plasma infusion during orthotopic liver transplantation on the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in recipients. Methods Cinical data of 473 liver transplant recipients who underwent orthotopic liver transplantation at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2016 to December 2020 were retrospectively collected. The study included 354 recipients who received plasma infusion during the operation (plasma group) and 119 recipients who did not receive plasma infusion during the operation (control group). Preoperative conditions, donor conditions, intraoperative conditions, main outcome indicators and secondary outcome indicators of the two groups were analyzed and compared. Receiver operating characteristic curve was drawn to calculate the maximum cut-off value of intraoperative plasma infusion volume that affected the occurrence of AKI within 7 days after surgery. Logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the correlation between intraoperative plasma infusion volume and the incidence of AKI within 7 days after surgery. Results Before propensity score matching, the incidence of AKI within 7 days after surgery and the incidence of grade Ⅲ AKI in the plasma group were higher than those in the control group (both P<0.05). After propensity score matching, 62 recipients were included in each group. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of AKI within 7 days after surgery between the plasma group and the control group, but the incidence of grade Ⅲ AKI within 7 days after surgery in the plasma group was higher than that in the control group (P=0.041). Logistic regression analysis showed that intraoperative plasma infusion volume >900 mL was a potential risk factor for AKI within 7 days after surgery (odds ratio=1.936, 95% confidence interval 1.193-3.142, P=0.007). There were no statistically significant differences in the incidence of 365-day postoperative fatality, reperfusion syndrome, and postoperative 30-day complications between the two groups before and after propensity score matching. In addition, the postoperative albumin, fibrinogen levels, and international normalized ratio in the plasma group were better than those in the control group before and after matching (all P<0.05). Conclusions Large amount of intraoperative plasma infusion is associated with an increased risk of grade Ⅲ AKI after orthotopic liver transplantation. Intraoperative plasma infusion volume >900 mL may increase the risk of AKI within 7 days after surgery.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effects of Qingre Huoxue prescription combined with methotrexate (MTX) and folic acid (FA) on homocysteine (Hcy) levels and disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) complicated by hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy). MethodsOn the basis of a multicenter real-world cohort from the China Registry of Traditional Chinese Medicine for Rheumatism (CERTAIN) platform,408 patients with RA complicated by HHcy were selected and included in this study. Treatment with Qingre Huoxue prescription was used as the exposure factor. According to whether Qingre Huoxue prescription was combined with MTX and FA,patients were assigned into an exposure group of 281 cases and a control group of 127 cases. Follow-ups were conducted every three months,with the primary outcome indicator being the achievement rate of target Hcy level. A generalized estimating equation model was adopted to analyze the dynamic changes in Hcy level under different medication regimens. Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed to evaluate the cumulative achievement rate of target Hcy level in the two groups,and Cox regression analysis was conducted to explore the predictive factors affecting the achievement rate of target Hcy level. Changes in erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR),C-reactive protein (CRP),28-joint disease activity score (DAS 28),and Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI) scores before and after the first combined treatment with Qingre Huoxue prescription were compared between the two groups. ResultsThe Hcy level in the exposure group showed a gradual decreasing trend over time,while the decrease in Hcy level was not significant in the control group. At the 12-month follow-up,the achievement rate of target Hcy level in the exposure group (124/281,44.13%) was higher than that in the control group (23/127,18.11%,P<0.01). Multivariable Cox regression analysis showed that treatment with Qingre Huoxue prescription [hazard ratio(HR)=3.013,95% confidence interval (CI) 2.188-4.149, P<0.001], absence of comorbidities (HR=2.035, 95%CI 1.352-3.061, P<0.001), and baseline Hcy <15 μmol·L-1 (HR=1.810, 95%CI 1.390-2.357, P<0.001) were significantly associated with an increased likelihood of achieving target Hcy levels within 6 months. In contrast, higher PGA scores were associated with a reduced likelihood of achieving target Hcy levels (HR=0.991, 95% CI 0.986-0.997, P=0.003). After treatment,the exposure group demonstrated reductions in ESR,CRP,and DAS 28 scores (P<0.05) and had lower ESR,CRP and DAS 28 scores than the control group (P<0.05). ConclusionEven after taking FA supplements,some RA patients undergoing MTX treatment still have high Hcy levels. When being used in conjunction with MTX and FA,Qingre Huoxue prescription can effectively lower the Hcy level and disease activity in RA patients with HHcy,outperforming Western treatment alone.

ObjectiveTo explore the data standard system of electronic medical records in the field of rehabilitation, focusing on the terminology and coding standards, data structure, and key content categories of rehabilitation electronic medical records. MethodsBased on the Administrative Norms for the Application of Electronic Medical Records issued by the National Health Commission of China, the electronic medical record standard architecture issued by the International Organization for Standardization and Health Level Seven (HL7), the framework of the World Health Organization Family of International Classifications (WHO-FICs), Basic Architecture and Data Standards of Electronic Medical Records, Basic Data Set of Electronic Medical Records, and Specifications for Sharing Documents of Electronic Medical Records, the study constructed and organized the data structure, content, and data standards of rehabilitation electronic medical records. ResultsThe data structure of rehabilitation electronic medical records should strictly follow the structure of electronic medical records, including four levels (clinical document, document section, data set and data element) and four major content areas (basic information, diagnostic information, intervention information and cost information). Rehabilitation electronic medical records further integrated information related to rehabilitation needs and characteristics, emphasizing rehabilitation treatment, into clinical information. By fully applying the WHO-FICs reference classifications, rehabilitation electronic medical records could establish a standardized framework, diagnostic criteria, functional description tools, coding tools and terminology index tools for the coding, indexing, functional description, and analysis and interpretation of diseases and health problems. The study elaborated on the data structure and content categories of rehabilitation electronic medical records in four major categories, refined the granularity of reporting rehabilitation content in electronic medical records, and provided detailed data reporting guidance for rehabilitation electronic medical records. ConclusionThe standardization of rehabilitation electronic medical records is significant for improving the quality of rehabilitation medical services and promoting the rehabilitation process of patients. The development of rehabilitation electronic medical records must be based on the national and international standards. Under the general electronic medical records data structure and standards, a rehabilitation electronic medical records data system should be constructed which incorporates core data such as disease diagnosis, functional description and assessment, and rehabilitation interventions. The standardized rehabilitation electronic medical records scheme constructed in this study can support the improvement of standardization of rehabilitation electronic medical records data information.

[Objective] To establish a method for detecting the potency of recombinant human coagulation factor Ⅶa for injection. [Methods] By adding the sample and factor Ⅶ deficient plasma to the sample cup and activating the reaction with prothrombin time assay reagent (PT reagent), the coagulation time of the sample was determined by the change in magnetic bead swing amplitude in the sample cup. The logarithm of coagulation time was inversely proportional to the logarithm of human factor Ⅶa potency. [Results] Under the experimental conditions, the specificity of the methodology was evaluated through spiked recovery, and the recovery rates ranged from 90.0% to 110.0%. Within the range from 0.125 to 1.000 IU/mL, there was a good linear response between the potency and coagulation time of the standard and sample, with correlation coefficients r>0.99. As for the accuracy and repeatability, the recovery rates of various concentrations detected in the stock solution were 101.0%, 100.0% and 112.0%, respectively, with RSD values of 2.6%, 4.0% and 0.0%, respectively. The recovery rates of various concentrations in finished product testing were 104.0%, 94.7% and 112.0%, respectively, with RSD values of 1.9%, 2.4% and 0.0%, respectively. As for the intermediate precision, the RSD were 4.5% and 3.7%, respectively. After treated with sample diluent, the sample was tested at room temperature for 6 hours and still exhibited relatively stable biological activity. [Conclusion] This detection method is accurate, stable, easy to operate and highly automated, and is suitable for detecting the potency of recombinant human coagulation factor Ⅶa for Injection.

OBJECTIVE To construct and evaluate nomogram prediction model for refractory chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). METHODS The data of malignant tumor patients who received chemotherapy at the Third People’s Hospital of Zhengzhou from January 2017 to December 2023 were collected. These patients were categorized into the occurrence group and the non-occurrence group according to the occurrence of refractory CINV. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was employed to screen predictive factors for refractory CINV and constructing a nomogram prediction model. Model performance was assessed via receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Model calibration was evaluated using Bootstrap resampling. Decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to determine the clinical net benefit of three strategies under different risk thresholds. Clinical impact curves were utilized to assess the clinical value of the model at different risk thresholds. Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) analysis was performed to evaluate individual factor contributions to the predictive model. RESULTS A total of 388 patients were included, with 219 experiencing refractory CINV. Multivariate Logistic regression identified 11 predictive factors for refractory CINV, including gastrointestinal disease history, anticipated nausea and vomiting, chemotherapy-induced emetic risk classification, and electrolyte levels, etc. The model’s area under the curve was 0.80 [95% confidence interval (0.76, 0.84)], with a mean error of 0.036. DCA demonstrated the prediction model had higher clinical net benefit when the risk threshold was between 0.05 and 0.85. SHAP analysis revealed the top three predictive factors as gastrointestinal disease history (0.924), chemotherapy- induced emetic risk classification (0.866), and electrolyte levels (0.581). CONCLUSIONS Eleven factors, including gastrointestinal disease history, anticipated nausea and vomiting, chemotherapy-induced emetic risk classification, and electrolyte levels, are identified as predictors of refractory CINV. The model based on these factors has good predictive ability, which can be used to predict the risk of refractory CINV.

Currently, researchers have identified several mutated genes associated with hereditary eye diseases; however, effective therapeutic options remain scarce. The emergence of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats(CRISPR)and its associated proteins(CRISPR-associated proteins, Cas)offers a promising approach for treating these diseases. CRISPR/Cas9 enables precise targeting and modification of specific genetic sequences, allowing for the correction of mutated genes, as well as knockout or replacement of pathogenic genes to achieve therapeutic effects. In ophthalmology, CRISPR/Cas9 has been applied to various hereditary eye disorders, including corneal dystrophy, congenital cataracts, glaucoma, and retinitis pigmentosa. Additionally, significant progress has been made to utilize CRISPR/Cas9 to develop disease models. Therefore, it has great potential for clinical applications. However, challenges such as delivery efficiency and off-target effects remain. This review summarizes the mechanism of CRISPR/Cas9, its applications in genetic eye diseases and disease models, as well as the existing challenges, aiming to provide new insights for treatment.

Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of serum soluble semaphorin 4D (sSema4D) and soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L) in left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with primary hypertension (EH).Methods:Eighty-four patients with EH combined with LVH admitted to Qingdao Hospital of Shandong First Medical University from December 2022 to December 2023 were prospectively selected as the study group, and 84 patients with EH and without LVH admitted to Qingdao Hospital of Shandong First Medical University during the same period were regarded as the control group. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was applied to detect the levels of sSema4D and sCD40L. Employing Pearson correlation coefficient, the study assessed the association between concentrations of sSema4D and sCD40L in serum and various echocardiographic measurements. A multivariate Logistic regression model was engaged to probe into the contributing factors for the development of LVH. ROC curve was plotted to analyze the diagnostic value of serum sSema4D and sCD40L for EH combined with LVH.Results:Serum sSema4D and sCD40L levels were significantly higher in the study group than in the control group: (8.56 ± 2.19) μg/L vs. (5.12 ± 1.43) μg/L, (4.02 ± 1.03) μg/L vs. (3.22 ± 0.98) μg/L, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The duration of hypertension, LVEDD, IVSTD, LVPWT, and LVMI were significantly higher in the study group than in the control group: (7.33 ± 1.53) years vs. (4.26 ± 1.35) years, (50.28 ± 3.33) mm vs. (44.45 ± 3.76) mm, (11.64 ± 3.21) mm vs. (9.53 ± 2.89) mm, (12.45 ± 1.52) mm vs. (9.13 ± 0.98) mm, (126.11 ± 15.28) g/m 2 vs. (81.15 ± 11.31) g/m 2, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). According to Pearson correlation analysis, it was known that both serum sSema4D and sCD40L were positively correlated with LVEDD, IVSTD, LVPWT and LVMI ( r = 0.425 and 0.533, 0.612 and 0.436, 0.513 and 0.628, 0.589 and 0.618; P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that hypertension duration, LVEDD, IVSTD, LVPWT, LVMI, sSema4D, sCD40L were risk factors for LVH in EH patients ( P<0.05). According to the ROC curve, the AUC for diagnosing EH combined with LVH with serum sSema4D was 0.848, the AUC for diagnosing EH combined with LVH with serum sCD40L was 0.725, and the AUC for diagnosing EH combined with LVH with serum sCD40L was 0.888, the combination of sCD40L and sCD40L was superior to their respective individual diagnoses ( Z = 2.651 and 2.526, P<0.05). Conclusions:The serum levels of sSema4D and sCD40L in patients with EH combined with LVH are obviously elevated, which are influencing factors for the occurrence of EH combined with LVH. Combined testing of the two has high diagnostic value for EH combined with LVH.
