ObjectiveTo investigate the core influencing factors for quality of life in patients with primary biliary cholangitis through a systematic review， and to provide an evidence-based basis for understanding such factors. MethodsThe databases including CNKI， Wanfang Data， CBM， VIP， PubMed， Embase， Web of Science， Ovid， Scopus， and Medline were searched for articles assessing the influencing factors for quality of life in patients with primary biliary cholangitis using PBC-40 scale published up to January 11， 2025. Quality assessment was conducted using the scale compiled by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality， and then a qualitative evaluation was performed for the basic situation of the studies included in the analysis. ResultsA total of 11 articles were included， and the results showed that age， sex， albumin， alkaline phosphatase， gamma-glutamyl transferase， direct bilirubin， total bilirubin， total bile acid， alanine aminotransferase， aspartate aminotransferase， body mass index， and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were important influencing factors for quality of life in patients with primary biliary cholangitis. ConclusionInfluencing factors include demographic features， liver function parameters， and physical and metabolic indicators； however， due to the limited number of studies， more high-quality large-sample studies are needed in the future.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the current status of consultation, clinical characteristics, and treatment status of patients with IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) in order to provide assistance and a basis for early and standardized diagnosis and treatment.Methods:IgG4-RD cases admitted to our hospital from June 2015 to October 2023 were collected. The details of patients' basic information, initial symptoms, department visits, laboratory and imaging findings, histopathological examination results, and treatment plans were recorded. A statistical descriptive analysis was performed on the data.Results:A total of 105 patients with IgG4-RD were included, with a median age of 59.0 (18.0, 78.0) years. The main departments visited were clinical immunology and gastroenterology (83.8%, 88/105). The median diagnostic duration was eight months, with a maximum of 300 months, and 33.3% (35/105) of patients needed over one year for diagnosis. 92 cases underwent histopathological examinations and IgG4 staining, with a total positivity rate of 87.0% (80/92). Among these, sixteen cases underwent pathological examination after surgery, with a positivity rate of 100%; the remaining 76 cases out of 92 underwent liver biopsy, with a positivity rate of 76.1%. Out of these, there were 22 cases from the pancreas, 21 from the submaxillary gland, nine from the labial gland, and seven each from the duodenal papilla and liver, with positivity rates of 81.8%, 81.0%, 55.6%, 85.7%, and 85.7%, respectively. Eleven cases (10.5%) with normal serum IgG4 were diagnosed based on multi-organ involvement and pathological results. 94 cases (89.5%) had elevated IgG4, with a predominance of＞2.70 g/L. The median follow-up period for the 87 cases was 14 months. Two cases had poor response, twelve patients relapsed, five cases relapsed without combined drug treatment after surgery, five cases relapsed due to drug withdrawal, and two cases relapsed while tapering off steroids.Conclusions:As a multisystem disease, IgG4-RD still faces the difficulties of time-consuming diagnosis and inappropriate treatment. Therefore, it is necessary to rely on a multidisciplinary collaboration model to improve the awareness level and promote the early and standardized diagnosis and treatment of patients with IgG4-RD.

Recently,British Society of Gastroenterology has published the guidelines on the management of autoimmune hepatitis(AIH).The guidelines provide guidance for the diagnosis and management of patients with AIH and overlap syndrome by reviewing and summarizing existing clinical evidence.The guidelines mainly focus on AIH in adults,but it is also applicable to adolescents and older children.This article presents an excerpt of the recommendations from the guidelines.

Objective:To investigate the effect of thrombocytopenia and coagulation dysfunction on bleeding complications in patients undergoing percutaneous liver biopsy.Methods:The clinical, laboratory, and demographic data of patients undergoing percutaneous liver biopsy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from January 2005 to January 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. The incidence of bleeding was recorded. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to assess the effects of thrombocytopenia and coagulation dysfunction on the risk of postoperative bleeding. Furthermore, we assessed the bleeding risk in patients with autoimmune hepatitis.Results:A total of 2 885 liver perforations were performed in 2 364 patients, 98.4% of whom had an autoimmune liver disease. There were 27 cases of postoperative bleeding (0.9%). The univariate logistic regression analysis showed that platelet count (PLT)( P<0.05, OR=0.975), coagulation dysfunction (international normalized ratio; INR)( P<0.05, OR=6.954), and cirrhosis ( P<0.05, OR=3.857) were associated with bleeding. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that PLT was an independent risk factor for bleeding ( P<0.05, OR=0.975). PLT scores of 40×10 9/L and 65×10 9/L can classify the bleeding risk of patients with thrombocytopenia into high, medium, and low risk. There was no difference in the risk of bleeding between the 40×10 9/L0.05, χ2=0.10). The risk of bleeding in the 31×10 9/L≤PLT≤40×10 9/L group was higher than that in the 40×10 9/L0.05, χ2=0.10). Furthermore, the bleeding cases were considered mild as the bleeding stopped after pressure hemostasis. Conclusions:PLT is an independent risk factor for bleeding after hepatocentesis. When the PLT is >40×10 9/L, hepatocentesis can still be performed safely with appropriate management measures.

Objective:To evaluate the quality of information on autoimmune liver disease in videos on the TikTok short video platform.Methods:The keyword "autoimmune liver disease" was used to search the top 200 videos on TikTok in the default sorting order. Using the DISCERN video quality assessment tool and the structured content integrity evaluation tool, we assessed the quality of the information in each video in relation to the pertinent disease guidelines. Furthermore, we investigated any relationships between the quality of the videos and their characteristics (likes, comments, retweets, days and duration of uploading).Results:A total of 140 videos were included, 96.4% of which were provided by medical professionals. The content completeness scores for each dimension were as follows: definition, 1.0 (0.0, 1.0); symptoms, 0.0 (0.0, 1.0); risk factors, 0.0 (0.0, 0.5); assessment, 0.5 (0.0, 1.5); management, 0.5 (0.0, 1.0); and outcome, 0.0 (0.0, 1.0). Furthermore, 91.4% of videos with DISCERN scores of ≤50 were of "fair" quality or below. Additionally, the difference in DISCERN scores between videos from different publishers was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The number of likes, comments, favorites, retweets, and video duration had a strong positive correlation with the overall DISCERN score ( r=0.17, 0.18, 0.25, 0.26, 0.44, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The overall quality of videos related to autoimmune liver disease on the TikTok video platform is low. Therefore, publishers should focus on the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the information. Additionally, the TikTok platform should optimize its video review mechanism to provide the public with more accurate and reliable health information.

ObjectiveThis paper aims to use the digital muscle function assessment system Myoton PRO to assess the correlation between muscle tension，clinical characteristics， and traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） syndromes in patients with hepatolenticular degeneration ［also known as Wilson disease（WD）］. MethodsA total of 104 patients with WD accompanied by abnormal muscle tension（increased or decreased，hereinafter the same） who were hospitalized in the Brain Disease Centre of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Chinese Medicine from April 2021 to November 2023 were selected，all of whom were subjected to TCM syndrome diagnosis and Myoton PRO for the measurement of F value of muscle tension，Goldstein， and UWDRS-N scales. The age of onset of the disease and disease duration were analyzed，and the differences and correlations of the above indexes in different TCM syndromes of WD were analyzed ResultsAmong the 104 patients with WD ，the phlegm and stasis syndrome was the most common（60 patients），followed by the damp-heat syndrome（33 patients），and the least common was the liver-kidney Yin deficiency syndrome（11 patients）. The F value of the phlegm and stasis syndrome group was higher than that of the liver-kidney Yin deficiency syndrome group and the damp-heat syndrome group（P<0.01）. The F value of the damp-heat syndrome group was higher than that of the liver-kidney Yin deficiency syndrome group（P<0.05），and the F value of the lower limbs of each group was higher than that of the upper limbs（P<0.01）. Goldstein and UWDRS-N scores of the patients in the phlegm and stasis syndrome group were higher than those in the damp-heat syndrome group and the liver-kidney Yin deficiency syndrome group（P<0.05）. There was no significant difference between the Goldstein and UWDRS-N scores of patients in the liver-kidney Yin deficiency syndrome group and the damp-heat syndrome group. Correlation analysis revealed that the age of onset and duration of the disease were positively correlated with the F values of the lower limbs（r=0.20，P<0.05，r=0.38，P<0.01）and had no significant correlation with those of the upper limbs. The F value levels of muscle tension of all limbs in the three groups of patients were positively correlated with the Goldstein and UWDRS-N scores（muscle tension of the upper limbs in the phlegm and stasis syndrome group，r=0.36，P<0.01，r=0.42，P<0.01. muscle tension of the lower limbs in the phlegm and stasis syndrome group，r=0.70，P<0.01，r=0.60，P<0.01. muscle tension of the upper limbs in the damp-heat syndrome group，r=0.64，P<0.01，r=0.53，P<0.01. muscle tension of the lower limbs in the damp-heat syndrome group，r=0.59，P<0.01，r=0.70，P<0.01. muscle tension of the upper limbs in the liver-kidney Yin deficiency syndrome group，r=0.70，P<0.01，r=0.74，P<0.01. muscle tension of the lower limbs in the liver-kidney Yin deficiency syndrome group，r=0.85，P<0.01，r=0.62，P<0.01）. Conlusion： The digital muscle function assessment system Myoton PRO can objectively evaluate the muscle tension level of patients with WD accompanied by abnormal muscle tension. This level has significant differences among different TCM syndromes and can evaluate the patient's condition to some extent.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the current status of air quality in clean operating rooms in Xi'an and explore the possible influencing factors,thus to provide data support for improving the quality of operating room manage-ment.METHODS According to GB50333-2013"Architectural technical code for hospital clean operating depart-ment",on-site monitoring was conducted from 2017 to 2021 on the air quality of 242 clean operating rooms in 41 hospitals in Xi'an,and the results were compared and analyzed.RESULTS Among the operating rooms being sur-veyed,130 were from secondary hospitals,112 from tertiary hospitals;seventy-nine were ClassⅠoperating rooms,26 were ClassⅡ,137 were ClassⅢ.The pass rate for settling bacterial was 98.35%,with 94.94%for ClassⅠoperating rooms,which was significantly lower than that in ClassⅡand ClassⅢ operating rooms(χ2=6.565,P=0.022).The pass rate for dust particles was 69.01%,with 43.04%for ClassⅠoperating rooms,and there was significant difference among different levels of operating rooms(χ2=37.304,P<0.001).The pass rate for dust particles in tertiary hospitals was 61.61%,lower than that in secondary hospitals(75.38%;χ2=5.340,P=0.021).The pass rate for dust particles≥0.5μm and≥5μm were 85.12%and 74.79%,respectively.Among the operating rooms with unqualified dust particles,those with both≥0.5 μm and≥5 μm dust particles not meeting standards accounted for 29.33%,and those with only≥0.5 μm dust particles not meeting standards accounted for 18.67%.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that influencing factors for air quality in clean operating rooms included the year of monitoring and the level of the operating room,while the sampling area and hospital level were not statistically associated with the outcomes.CONCLUSION The overall air quality of op-erating rooms in Xi'an is not optimistic,the pass rate is affected by the year of monitoring and the clean levels of the operating rooms,indicating a need to strengthen routine management and monitoring of clean operating rooms.
