ObjectiveThis paper aims to explore the risk factors for chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) with turbidity toxin accumulation syndrome and establish a prediction model. MethodsClinical data of 180 patients with CAG who participated in the "clinical study of Xianglian Huazhuo Particles blocking CAG cancer transformation" of Hebei Sheng Zhong Yi Yuan from July 2021 to March 2022 were collected. After confounding factors were controlled by propensity score matching, patients were divided into a training set (namely dev) and a validation set (namely vad) in a seven to three ratio. The risk factors for CAG with turbidity toxin accumulation syndrome in the training set were investigated by using univariate Logistic regression analysis and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (namely Lasso) regression algorithms. Subsequently, a model, named model 1se, was developed by using the training set data to predict the risk factors for CAG with turbidity toxin accumulation syndrome. The accuracy of the prediction model was assessed by using various methods, including the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, Hosmer-Lemeshow test (H-L), calibration plot, and decision curve analysis (DCA). ResultsAge, body mass index (BMI), family history of cancer, job and life satisfaction, yellow and greasy fur with slippery pulse, and heavy body sensation were independent risk factors of the model. The prediction model showed excellent predictive value for both the training and validation sets. ConclusionThe established prediction model for CAG with turbidity toxin accumulation syndrome has high discrimination and excellent calibration, which could provide an excellent clinical basis for disease diagnosis and individualized treatment of patients.

Background:
This study was performed to characterize the incidence, costs, and risk factors associated with renal and cardiovascular adverse outcomes following primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
Methods:
Patients with STEMI who underwent pPCI using iso-osmolar contrast were enrolled at 39 centers. The incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) and major adverse renal and cardiovascular events (MARCE) was analyzed, as well as inpatient costs. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors.
Results:
Among 2,293 patients, the incidence of AKI and MARCE within 72 hours post-pPCI was 4.14% (n = 95) and 4.40% (n = 101), respectively. AKI and/or MARCE were associated with systolic blood pressure (AKI: odds ratio [OR], 1.009; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.000–1.018), hypertension (AKI: OR, 1.815; 95% CI, 1.133–2.906; MARCE: OR, 1.760;95% CI, 1.118–2.769), anterior wall infarction (AKI: OR, 1.895; 95% CI, 1.196–3.004; MARCE:OR, 1.939; 95% CI, 1.240–3.032), Killip class (AKI: OR, 1.465; 95% CI, 1.117–1.922; MARCE:OR, 1.467; 95% CI, 1.131–1.903), and serum creatinine (SCr; MARCE: OR, 1.006; 95% CI, 1.000–1.012). Hospitalization costs for patients with STEMI who developed AKI or MARCE were significantly higher than for those without AKI (9,595 ± 5,795 vs. 8,279 ± 3,872 USD, P = 0.003) or without MARCE (9,890 ± 5,616 vs. 8,255 ± 3,859 USD, P < 0.001).
Conclusions
In patients with STEMI undergoing pPCI with iso-osmolar contrast, the incidence of AKI and MARCE was associated with higher hospitalization costs. Systolic blood pressure, hypertension, anterior wall infarction, Killip class, and SCr were identified as risk factors for these outcomes.

Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of transurethral blue laser vaporization of the prostate, transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) or plasmakinetic resection of the prostate in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Methods The domestic and foreign clinical studies on transurethral blue laser vaporization of the prostate (observation group), TURP or plasmakinetic resection of the prostate (control group) in the treatment of BPH during Jan. 2015 and Mar. 2025 were retrieved. The data were extracted with Cochrane systematic review method. The operation time, decrease in hemoglobin, bladder irrigation time, catheter indwelling time, total complication rate, retrograde ejaculation rate and urinary incontinence rate of the two groups were compared with RevMan 5.3.0 statistical software. Results A total of 5 Chinese studies involving 491 patients (248 in the observation group and 243 in the control group) were included in the Meta-analysis. Compared with the control group, the observation group had shorter operation time [MD=-20.80, 95%CI:-26.88—-14.72, P<0.00001], less decrease in hemoglobin [MD=-10.61, 95%CI: -20.21—-1.01, P=0.03], shorter bladder irrigation time [MD=-17.85, 95%CI: -32.62—-3.09, P=0.002], shorter catheter indwelling time [MD=-1.71, 95%CI: -2.81—- 0.62, P=0.002], lower total complication rate [OR=0.11, 95%CI: 0.06—0.21, P<0.00001], lower retrograde ejaculation rate [OR=0.05, 95%CI: 0.02—0.16, P<0.00001] and lower urinary incontinence rate [OR=0.24, 95%CI: 0.07—0.79, P=0.02]. There were no significant differences in other complications between the two groups (P>0.05). The international erectile function score (IIEF-5) of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group [MD=1.87, 95%CI:1.16—2.57, P<0.00001]. There were no significant differences in international prostate symptom score (IPSS), maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax) and post-voiding residual (PVR) between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion All three surgical procedures can effectively improve the lower urinary tract symptoms of BPH patients. Compared with TURP or plasmakinetic resection of the prostate, transurethral blue laser vaporization of the prostate has obvious advantages in terms of perioperative recovery, reduction of total complications, urinary incontinence and retrograde ejaculation rates, and preservation of sexual function.

BackgroundBipolar disorder is a severe mental disorder characterized by alternating episodes of mania and depression. It has a high recurrence rate and a high rate of disability. Elderly patients often suffer from more severe cognitive impairment due to neurodegenerative changes. The clinical intervention for bipolar disorder mainly relies on drug treatment, but drugs have limited effects on improving cognitive function, and some drugs may even aggravate cognitive impairment. Aerobic exercise, as a non-drug intervention method, has shown positive effects in improving cognitive function in patients with mental disorders. However, there are still insufficient studies on elderly patients with bipolar disorder. ObjectiveTo explore the impact of aerobic exercise on the cognitive function of elderly patients with bipolar disorder, so as to provide references for the formulation of strategies to improve the cognitive function of this population. MethodsA randomized controlled trial was conducted. A total of 60 elderly patients who were hospitalized at the Third People's Hospital of Lanzhou from January 2024 to March 2025 and met the diagnostic criteria for bipolar disorder as defined in the International Classification of Diseases,tenth edition (ICD-10) were selected. They were divided into the study group and the control group, with 30 cases in each group, based on the random number table method. Both groups were given quetiapine fumarate tablets and magnesium valproate sustained-release tablets. The study group additionally received aerobic exercise (including slow walking, doing exercises, and running), three times a week, for 30 minutes each time. At the baseline and at the end of the 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 12th week of the intervention, the Hamilton Depression Scale -24 item (HAMD-24), the Young Manic Rating Scale (YMRS), the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), and Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale Revised in China (WMS-RC) were used for assessment. ResultsThe time effect of the HAMD-24 score was statistically significant (Wald χ2=124.564, P<0.01). The time effect of the YMRS score was also statistically significant (Wald χ2=145.608, P<0.01), and the interaction effect between time and group was statistically significant (Wald χ2=14.968, P<0.05). At the 3rd, 9th, and 12th week of the intervention, the YMRS score of the study group was lower than that of the control group in the same period, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The time effect and group effect of the MoCA score were both statistically significant (F=99.347, 16.623, P<0.01). The time effect, group effect, and interaction effect between time and group of the WMS-RC memory quotient were all statistically significant (F=64.678, 10.197, 12.472, P<0.01). At the 6th, 9th, and 12th weeks of the intervention, the MoCA score and WMS-RC memory quotient of the study group were higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). ConclusionAerobic exercise may help improve the manic symptoms and cognitive functions (especially memory ability) of elderly patients with bipolar disorder.

BackgroundNon-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behavior is highly prevalent during adolescence. Previous studies have mainly focused on the relationship between NSSI behavior and emotional regulation, pain perception, reward mechanisms, and impulsivity. However, the cognitive mechanisms underlying the occurrence and maintenance of NSSI behavior have not been sufficiently explored. Adolescence is a critical period for the development of cognitive control. However, it remains unclear whether adolescents with depressive disorder accompanied by NSSI behavior have abnormal cognitive control. ObjectiveTo reveal the potential deficits in cognitive control among adolescents with depressive disorder accompanied by NSSI behavior. MethodsThis study was a case-control study including 166 adolescent patients who visited the Third People's Hospital of Lanzhou from November 2024 to May 2025 and met the diagnostic criteria for depressive disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5). According to whether they had NSSI behavior or not, patients were divided into the NSSI group (n=86) and the non-NSSI group (n=80). At the same time, healthy adolescents who passed mental health screenings in five public middle schools in the northwest region were selected as the control group (n=71). All participants completed the color-word Stroop task, and the accuracy rates and reaction time in congruent and incongruent conditions of each group were recorded, and the interference effect based on accuracy rates and reaction time was calculated. ResultsIn terms of accuracy rate, the main effect of trial type was statistically significant (F=46.900, P<0.01, ηp²=0.160), and the interaction effect between group and trial type was also statistically significant (F=3.390, P=0.035, ηp²=0.028). In terms of reaction time, the main effect of trial type was statistically significant (F=72.020, P<0.01, ηp²=0.240), and the interaction effect between group and trial type was also statistically significant (F=6.400, P=0.002, ηp²=0.050). Simple effect analysis revealed that under both congruent and incongruent conditions, the reaction time of the NSSI group was longer than those of the non-NSSI group and the control group, and the reaction time of the non-NSSI group was also longer than that of the control group (P<0.01). There were statistically significant differences in the interference effects among three groups based on reaction time (H=10.231, P=0.006). The interference effect in the NSSI group was higher than that in the control group (Z=3.012, Padj=0.008) and the non-NSSI group (Z=2.453, Padj=0.043). There was no statistically significant difference in the interference effect among the three groups based on accuracy rate (H=5.666, P=0.059). ConclusionAdolescents with depressive disorder accompanied by NSSI behavior exhibit cognitive control deficits beyond depressive symptoms, particularly showing impaired conflict suppression ability.

Objective To evaluate the accuracy of dose-length product (DLP) values in CT dose reports by comparing them with the DLP values measured using a pencil-type ionization chamber. Methods Experiments were conducted using four CT scanners with different detector row numbers from two manufacturers (A and B), along with a head phantom and a pencil-type ionization chamber. Other scanning parameters were fixed, while pairwise combinations of kV and mAs were tested. The DLP values were measured under various scanning conditions using the pencil-type ionization chamber (DLPmeasured) and the corresponding DLP values in CT dose reports were recorded (DLPreported). All data were subjected to statistical analysis. Results Differences were observed between DLPreported and DLPmeasured values. The smallest mean absolute value of ΔDLP was approximately 2.526 mGy·cm observed on the 40-row CT scanner of manufacturer A. There was a difference between the ΔDLPs of the four CT scanners. Both DLPreported and DLPmeasured exhibited a linear relationship with mAs. Conclusion The percentage errors between DLPreported and DLPmeasured values for all four CT scanners were within the national standard tolerance of 15%. DLP values in CT dose reports can serve as a reference for assessing patient radiation dose during scanning. However, for radiation dose-related research, data measured using dosimetric instruments such as pencil-type ionization chamber are recommended.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of high-resolution CT (HRCT) imaging features and Ki-67 expression levels for poorly differentiated invasive non-mucinous lung adenocarcinoma (INMA), and to construct and validate a nomogram prediction model based on these factors.Methods:A total of 210 INMA patients who underwent radical surgery at Shaanxi Provincial Cancer Hospital from July 2020 to October 2023 and obtained histopathological results were retrospectively included. Based on the degree of lesion differentiation, they were divided into well/moderately differentiated INMA group ( n=152) and poorly differentiated INMA group ( n=58). The general clinical data, HRCT imaging features and Ki-67 expression of the two groups of patients were compared. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze independent influencing factors for poorly differentiated INMA, and a nomogram prediction model was constructed. The diagnostic efficacy of the prediction model was evaluated by the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve, and the prediction model was validated by consistency index (C-index) and calibration curve. Results:There were no statistically significant differences in terms of age, location, margin, lobulation, vascular convergence, and cavitation between the well/moderately differentiated INMA group and poorly differentiated INMA group (all P>0.05). There were statistically significant differences in sex ( χ2=6.65, P=0.010), Ki-67 expression ( U=2.33, P=0.021), nodule size ( t=-3.34, P=0.010), spiculation ( χ2=5.22, P=0.022), pleural indentation ( χ2=17.02, P<0.001), air bronchogram ( χ2=15.54, P<0.001) and nodule type ( χ2=59.67, P<0.001) between the two groups. Multivariate analysis showed that nodule size ( OR=1.07, 95% CI: 1.01-1.14, P=0.025), nodule type ( OR=8.23, 95% CI: 3.04-22.32, P<0.001) and Ki-67 expression ( OR=1.07, 95% CI: 1.03-1.11, P<0.001) were independent influencing factors for the occurrence of poorly differentiated INMA. A nomogram prediction model for poorly differentiated INMA was constructed based on the above indicators. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under curve of the prediction model to predict the occurrence of poorly differentiated INMA was 0.893, and the sensitivity and specificity were 89.70% and 77.60%, respectively. The C-index value of the model was 0.893. The calibration curve showed that the predicted probability was in good agreement with the actual probability. Conclusions:Nodule size, nodule type in HRCT imaging features and Ki-67 expression are independent influencing factors for the occurrence of low differentiation in INMA patients. The nomogram prediction model constructed based on the above indicators has good predictive performance.

Tonifying herbs described in the Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing frequently possess well-defined efficacy in dispelling pathogenic factors, including eliminating pathogenic factors, eliminating severe wind-disorders, dispelling Bi syndrome, removing blood stasis and resolving hard masses, facilitating urination and defecation, relieving chills and fever, promoting digestion, regulating and smoothing qi movement, treating carbuncles and deep-rooted ulcers, killing the :three worms: (parasites), draining pus and alleviating pain, and treating bone fractures and traumatic injuries. These effects correspond to a broad spectrum of conditions, encompassing immune, digestive, and respiratory system disorders, as well as tumors. These effects are closely related to the taste and compatibility of drugs, and are supported by modern pharmacological studies (such as anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, immune regulation, etc.). This study could provide a novel perspective for the rational clinical application of tonifying herbs and establish a foundation for in-depth research into the multi-efficacy mechanisms of Chinese materia medica.
