Acute pancreatitis （AP） often has an acute onset， and although most cases are self-limiting， there is still a risk of rapid deterioration， posing a serious threat to the lives of patients. Currently， traditional assessment tools such as clinical scoring systems and serum biomarkers are widely used to determine disease severity and prognosis. To enhance the accuracy of assessment， combined detection strategies integrating different scores and biomarkers are often used in clinical practice； however， there are still certain limitations such as insufficient specificity， limited early sensitivity， and a lack of consistent cut-off values. Therefore， current studies are actively exploring novel biomarkers with superior specificity and sensitivity and continuously optimizing their combined application strategies. This article summarizes the current application status of traditional assessment tools and reviews the research advances in novel biomarkers.

Objective:To explore the influence of value orientation brief therapy (VBT) on anxiety and depression symptoms, social function, coping style and self-acceptance level of major depressive disorder adolescents with anxious distress.Methods:From June 2021 to June 2022, seventy adolescent major depressive disorder patients with anxious distress were included in the study, who were randomly divided into study group(35 people, 31 people completed)and control group (35 people, 30 people completed). The study group was given routine treatment combined with VBT, while the control group was given routine treatment only. Before and after treatment, Hamilton anxiety scale(HAMA), Hamilton depression scale (HAMD), social disability screening schedule (SDSS), coping style questionnaire(CSQ) and self-acceptance questionnaire (SAQ) were used to evaluate the two groups, and SPSS 26.0 software was used to statistically analyze the data of the two groups. Paired sample t-test was used for intra-group comparison, and independent sample t-test was used for inter-group comparison. Results:After 6 weeks of treatment, the scores of HAMA((6.03±3.58) vs (14.03±7.06), t=5.55, P<0.01), HAMD((8.77±5.52 ) vs (16.50±7.59), t=4.56, P<0.01)and SDSS((4.23±1.50) vs (6.63±0.96), t=7.43, P<0.01)in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group, the differences were statistically significant. The scores of self-acceptance((19.23±1.33) vs (13.47±1.46), t=-16.12, P<0.01)and self-evaluation ((19.87±2.87) vs (12.77±1.68), t=-11.75, P<0.01) in the SAQ scale and the scores of problem-solving((8.71±2.30) vs (6.23±3.45), t=3.31, P<0.05) and rationalization ((6.20±3.11) vs (4.67±2.43), t=2.13, P<0.05) in the CSQ questionnaire were significantly higher than those in the control group, the differences were statistically significant. The total effective rate of the study group(90.3%(28/31) vs 66.7%(20/30), χ2=5.09, P<0.05) was significantly higher than that of the control group, the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion:The effect of routine treatment combined with VBT is better, which can effectively improve anxiety and depression symptoms, social function and coping style, and enhance self-acceptance and self-evaluation in adolescent major depressive disorder patients, which is worthy of clinical application.

Purpose To explore the key molecules mechanisms underlying the selective activation of macrophage and the regulation of Dicer expression induced by glioblastoma(GBM)cells,as well as its prognostic significance.Methods Glioblastoma conditional medium(GCM)was fractionated by molecular weight using ultrafiltration.Specif-ic molecular weight components of GCM that upregulate Dicer expression in mouse bone marrow derived macrophages(BMDMs)were identified.Secreted proteins were identified by mass spectrometry(MS).The correlation between candidate proteins and GBM prognosis was analyzed using the TCGA and CGGA database.In vitro experiments of the candidate proteins on Dicer expression in BMDMs were further carried out.Results GCM components with a molecu-lar weight of＞50 kDa significantly upregulated Dicer expression in BMDMs.MS identified five key secreted proteins:Prg4,Psap,Hexa,Aebp1,and Itih2.High expression of Prg4 was significantly positively correlated with poor progno-sis in GBM patients(P＜0.001)and was associated with the expression of selective macrophage activation markers.Recombinant Prg4 protein stimulated BMDMs and induced Dicer expression in mouse BMDMs.Conclusion This study reveals that glioma cells induce Dicer expression in macrophages by secreting Prg4,providing a theoretical basis for GBM therapeutic strategies targeting the Prg4-Dicer axis.

Objective To analyze temporal trends in infectious disease burden among Chinese elderly(≥60 years)using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study(GBD 2021),evaluate age-period-cohort effects on disease burden,predict trends through 2045,and propose evidence-based medication management strategies.Methods We conducted a threefold analysis of infectious disease burden from 1990 to 2021 using Joinpoint regression to identify temporal trends,Age-Period-Cohort(APC)modeling to disentangle epidemiological effects,and Nordpred projections for 2045 disease burden estimates.Results Over 32 years,all infectious disease categories except HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted infections demonstrated significant declines.Enteric infections showed the most rapid reductions in mortality(AAPC=-7.85,P﹤0.001)and disability-adjusted life year rates(DALYR;AAPC=-7.18,P﹤0.001).We also found a significant decrease in the incidence of tropical diseases and malaria(AAPC=-6.77,P﹤0.001).APC analysis found that the age effect was mostly negative in terms of the annual percentage change in mortality and DALYR for each disease,except for HIV/AIDS,with an overall decline in period risk over time,and a generally higher risk of morbidity and mortality for the early birth cohort,and an overall decline in the risk of each disease as the year of birth progressed,but the risk of HIV/AIDS death and DALY period and cohort risks trended upward.While the overall risk for certain diseases was slightly higher in males compared to females,the trends were largely consistent across both sexes.In terms of projections,the absolute prevalence of respiratory infections and tuberculosis in terms of number of cases and age-standardized rates,and the growth of the disease burden of HIV/AIDS were particularly prominent,making them important health challenges for the future.The burden of disease in the elderly often results in issues such as potential polypharmacy,which must be addressed to improve medication management.Conclusions China has achieved remarkable progress in reducing infectious disease burdens among older adults,though HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted infections present an escalating public health threat.These findings advocate for enhanced surveillance systems,age-specific prevention strategies,and precision medication protocols to optimize therapeutic outcomes in geriatric populations.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and clinical outcomes of transperineal prostate multimodal image fusion-targeted biopsy under the day surgery model.Methods:Clinical data of 258 patients who underwent transperineal prostate biopsy at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University between December 2022 and June 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups，and the experimental group（ n = 141）underwent transperineal prostate multi-modal image-fusion targeted biopsy in the day-surgery mode，with age of（70.0 ± 8.8）years，median prostate-specific antigen（PSA）level of 11.10（7.63?17.06）ng/ml，and median Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System（PI-RADS）score of 4（3，5）. The control group（ n = 117）underwent traditional transperineal systematic biopsy，with age of（69.3 ± 7.4）years，median PSA of 25.20（16.18-54.40）ng/ml，and median PI-RADS score of 4（3，5）. The experimental group was given the day surgery mode：preoperatively，multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging（mpMRI）of the prostate was multimodally fused with ultrasound images，the location of target lesions in the prostate was manually mapped，and a targeted biopsy plan was developed. Intraoperatively，under ultrasound guidance，precise puncture was performed at the lesion sites，followed by systematic biopsy. After the operation，the patients were observed for 4-6 hours，and could be discharged if there were no obvious abnormalities，with the total hospitalization time within 24 hours. For the control group，the conventional biopsy mode was used. Intraoperatively，under ultrasound guidance，the standard 12-core transperineal systematic biopsy protocol was adopted，and sampling was conducted according to the anatomical regions of the prostate（base，midportion，apex，transition zone，and peripheral zone）to cover the entire gland. Patients in this group required routine hospitalization，with a hospital stay of 3-5 days. Operative time，intraoperative pain Numerical Rating Scale（NRS）score，complications within one week postoperatively，treatment costs，overall prostate cancer detection rate，and clinically significant prostate cancer（csPCa，defined as Gleason score ≥ 7 or pathological stage ≥ T 2b）detection rate were compared between the two groups. Results:All procedures were successfully completed without special incidents. The operative time was（13.49 ± 2.00）min in the experimental group and（13.05 ± 2.89）min in the control group，showing no significant difference（ P > 0.05）. The intraoperative pain NRS scores were（3.01 ± 1.17）and（3.10 ± 1.25）in the experimental and control groups，respectively，with no significant difference（ P > 0.05）. Pathological examination revealed that the overall prostate cancer detection rates were 46.8%（66/141）in the experimental group and 42.7%（50/117）in the control group，while the csPCa detection rates were 35.5%（50/141）and 31.6%（37/117），respectively. The differences were not statistically significant（ P > 0.05）. The complication rate was 6.4%（9/141）in the experimental group（including 2 cases of acute urinary retention，3 hematuria，3 fever，and 1 sepsis）and 6.0%（7/117）in the control group（including 3 acute urinary retention，1 hematuria，2 fever，and 1 sepsis），with no significant difference（ P > 0.05）. All complications improved after symptomatic treatment. The treatment costs were（4 063.25 ± 67.26）yuan in the experimental group and（5 185.14 ± 469.15）yuan in the control group，demonstrating a statistically significant difference（ P < 0.05）. Conclusions:Transperineal prostate multimodal image fusion-targeted biopsy can be safely performed under the day surgery model，offering advantages including a relatively high detection rate for csPCa，low complication rate，and better cost-effectiveness.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of comorbidity of oral frailty and sarcopenia in elderly inpatients,and to explore their influencing factors,so as to provide a basis for formulating targeted interventions for patients with oral frailty and sarcopenia.Methods A total of 515 elderly patients hospitalized in 3 tertiary hospitals in Zhengzhou City and 1 second-class hospital in Shangqiu City from January 2024 to April 2024 were selected as the research subjects by convenience sampling,and the general information questionnaire,Oral Frailty Index-8,Sarcopenia Screen Questionnaire,Mini Nutritional Assessment Short Form,Social Support Rating Scale and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale(HADS)were used for investigation.Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of oral frailty and sarcopenia comorbidities in elderly inpatients.Results 508 valid questionnaires were collected.The prevalence of sarcopenia and oral frailty in elderly inpatients was 22.8％,and age,dysphagia,number of chronic diseases,and history of hypertension or stroke,multiple drug use,depression,bad nutrition and low level of social support were the risk factors(P＜0.05).Conclusion The incidence of oral frailty combined with sarcopenia was higher in elderly hospitalized patients.Nurses should take nursing measures according to its influencing factors to prevent and control the development of oral frailty combined with sarcopenia.

According to the latest 2022 Global Cancer Burden report released by the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer,the number of newly diagnosed cancer patients worldwide continues to rise,and this trend is expected to become more pronounced by 2050.In the same year,China's cancer incidence report for 2022 revealed that both the number of new cancer cases and cancer-related deaths have continued to increase compared to previous years,indicating a worrying situation.Amid the growing demand for effective cancer therapies,the development of anti-cancer drugs is gaining significant momentum.Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)has begun to play an increasingly prominent role in the anti-cancer drug market,contributing a unique"Chinese solution"to global cancer treatment.However,TCM is characterized by its multi-component,multi-pathway,and multi-target nature,making it challenging to comprehensively study its anti-cancer mechanisms using traditional research models.Consequently,there is an urgent need to develop new research models that align with the characteristics of TCM.Organoids,as an emerging technology and an ideal preclinical model for human diseases,address the limitations of traditional disease models in TCM research.Their application in the study of TCM's anti-cancer effects is rapidly expanding.This article reviews and summarizes the use of organoid technology in TCM-based anti-cancer research,analyzing its advantages,limitations and developmental trends.
