Objective:To construct and evaluate the nomogram prediction model of spontaneous rupture of primary liver cancer (STRPLC), and make the web-based dynamic online nomogram.Methods:Clinical data of 346 patients with PLC treated in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University were retrospectively analyzed, including 87 males and 15 females, aged 58.15±10.32 years. Single factor and multiple factor logistic regression analysis were used to screen the influencing factors of STRPLC, and the prediction model was constructed based on the nomogram. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve and clinical decision analysis were used to evaluate the model. The web-based dynamic online nomogram was developed using the DynNom package in R4.3.1 software.Results:Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the independent risk factors for spontaneous rupture and hemorrhage of tumor were no history of systematic anti-tumor therapy, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) level, tumor protrusion on liver surface, tumor length, invasion of major blood vessels, and moderate to large amount of ascites (all P<0.05). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of the prediction model constructed by this nomogram is 0.913 (95% CI: 0.884-0.943), the best cutoff value is 0.254, with a sensitivity of 0.892, and a specificity of 0.803. The calibration curve shows a good agreement between the predicted probability and the actual probability. The decision curve of the model is above the two invalid lines of " none" and " all" in the horizontal range of 0.07-0.98, and the clinical net benefit of the model is >0. Then user-friendly web-based dynamic online nomogram is constructed. Conclusion:Large tumor size, superficial location, no history of systematic anti-tumor therapy, high AFP level, invasion of major blood vessels, and moderate to large amount of ascites are independent risk factors for STRPLC. The prediction model and dynamic online nanogram constructed by this method can effectively assess the risk of STRPLC.

Objective:To construct a device-related pressure injury prevention program for orthopedic patients based on evidence-based and SSKINS (S: skin, S: surface, K: keep moving, I: incontinence, N: nutrition, S: self-care) clinical management model, and to provide reference for clinical nursing practice.Methods:In June 2023, a research team was set up to retrieve the literature related to device-related pressure injury in orthopedic patients, and the evidence was extracted and screened with reference to the SSKINS clinical management model, and the first draft of the protocol was formulated based on clinical practice. The final plan was determined through two rounds of expert consultations from October to December 2023.Results:The response rate of the two rounds of expert correspondence was 100%(20/20). The expert authority coefficients were 0.897 and 0.907, the overall Kendall coordination coefficients of the two rounds were 0.116 and 0.136 respectively, and the Kendall coordination coefficients of all levels were 0.104-0.213 (all P<0.001). The final protocol contains 6 first-level items (assessment and examination, the use and adjustment of device, prophylactic dressings, skin protection, nutritional support, health education) and 31 second-level items. Conclusions:The proposed orthopedic device-related pressure injury prevention program is scientific and practical, and can provide a reference for the prevention and management of clinical medical staff.

Objective To understand the current situation of thirst in patients with cirrhosis and analyze its influencing factors,in order to improve medical staff's attention to thirst symptoms in patients with cirrhosis and provide theoretical basis for clinical intervention.Methods A total of 220 patients with cirrhosis who were hospitalized in the infection department of a tertiary A general hospital in Wuhan from March to June 2024 were selected by convenience sampling method.General data questionnaire,Numerical Score Scale and Thirst Distress Scale were used to investigate the factors affecting thirst sensation in patients with cirrhosis.Results A total of 202 valid questionnaires were collected,and the effective questionnaire recovery rate was 91.82％.The results showed that the incidence of thirst in patients with cirrhosis was 59.41％;the score of thirst was 3.00(3.00,6.00)points,and the mean score of thirst was 3.09.Among them,43.07％of the patients with cirrhosis were in the moderate to severe level of thirst.The score of Thirst Distress Scale is 6.00(6.00,17.00)points,and the average score of thirst distress was 11.62 points,which was in the medium level.47.03％of patients with cirrhosis indicated thirst distress,and 23.76％of patients with cirrhosis which was in the moderate and severe level of distress.The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the degree of ascites,the use of diuretics,the stage of disease,and the degree of thirst distress were the factors influencing the degree of thirst in patients with cirrhosis(P＜0.05).Gender,marital status,degree of ascites,use of diuretic drugs,disease stage and degree of thirst were the factors influencing degree of thirst distress in patients with cirrhosis(P＜0.05).Conclusion The incidence and severity of thirst in patients with cirrhosis are relatively high,and are affected by many factors.Medical staff should pay more attention to the management of thirst symptoms in patients with cirrhosis,and formulate targeted nursing measures or nursing programs according to the related influencing factors of thirst,so as to improve the comfort level of patients and improve the disease experience of patients.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors for tibial tuberosity avulsion fractures (TTAF) in adolescents and develop a clinically applicable nomogram prediction model for rapid risk assessment and identification of high-risk populations.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the data of 58 adolescent patients (61 sides) who had been treated for TTAF at Department of Orthopaedics, Children's Hospital of Soochow University between January 2018 and October 2024. There were 57 males and 1 female, with an age of 14.0 (13.0, 14.0) years, designated as the observation group. The control group enrolled another contemporary 52 patients who, matched with age and gender, had a clear history of trauma and clinical symptoms of knee injury but no bone continuity destruction of the knee joint by the final imaging examination. They were 50 males and 2 females, with an age of 13.5 (12.0, 15.0) years. Baseline characteristics, pre-injury physical activity profiles, and imaging-derived anatomical parameters were compared between the 2 groups. Variables with P<0.05 in the univariate analysis were included in a multivariable logistic regression model to identify independent risk factors for adolescent TTAF, based on which a nomogram prediction model was developed and internally validated using bootstrapping (1,000 resamples). Results:Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified the following independent risk factors for adolescent TTAF: short-term high-frequency exercise ( OR=5.653, 95% CI: 1.068 to 29.918, P=0.042), a large body mass index (BMI) ( OR=1.445, 95% CI: 1.197 to 1.743, P<0.001), a large posterior tibial slope (PTS) ( OR=1.637, 95% CI: 1.140 to 2.353, P=0.008), and an increased tibial tubercle-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance ( OR=1.227, 95% CI: 1.021 to 1.474, P=0.029). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was 0.927 for the model incorporating CT-derived variables and 0.907 for the model excluding CT variables. Decision curve analysis (DCA) and calibration curves demonstrated favorable clinical utility and alignment between predicted and observed outcomes in both models. Conclusions:Short-term high-frequency exercise, a large body mass index, a large PTS, and an increased TT-TG distance are risk factors for adolescent TTAF. The established prediction model is suitable for rapid clinical assessment and demonstrates good predictive capability.

Objective To analyze the relationships of serum microRNA(miR)-15,miR-16,miR-17-5p,and triglyceride-glucose index(TyG)with severity and prognosis of acute ischemic stroke(AIS).Methods A total of 136 AIS patients admitted to the Shijiazhuang Hospital of Traditional Chi-nese Medicine from April 2023 to April 2024 were enrolled.Prognosis and disease severity were as-sessed using modified Rankin Scale(mRS)and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS),respectively.Based on mRS scores at 3 months post-onset,patients were divided into poor prognosis group(mRS Score＞2,n=42)and good prognosis group(mRS Score ≤ 2,n=94).Serum levels of miR-15,miR-16,miR-17-5p,TyG,and NIHSS scores were compared between two groups.Pearson correlation analysis was used to evaluate associations of these biomarkers with NIHSS scores.Logistic regression was used to identify risk factors for poor prognosis,while receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves was applied to assess the predictive value of individual and combined biomarkers.Results The poor prognosis group exhibited significantly higher serum miR-15,miR-16,miR-17-5p,TyG,and NIHSS scores than the good prognosis group(t=8.634,13.171,29.018,2.687,26.432;P＜0.05).Positive correlations were observed between these biomarkers and NIHSS scores(r=0.472,0.449,0.492,0.437;P＜0.05).Logistic regression identified miR-15[OR(95％CI):3.526(2.628 to 5.859)],miR-16[1.976(1.226 to 3.017)],miR-17-5p[1.828(1.294 to 3.428)],NIHSS score[1.787(1.105 to 2.896)],TyG[1.886(1.233 to 3.284)],and homo-cysteine[1.906(1.252 to 3.794)]as independent risk factors for poor prognosis(P＜0.05).ROC analysis demonstrated that the combined model(miR-15,miR-16,miR-17-5p,TyG,and NIHSS)achieved superior predictive performance(AUC=0.877;95％CI,0.820 to 0.948)com-pared to individual biomarkers(Z＞2.527,P＜0.05).Conclusion Elevated serum miR-15,miR-16,miR-17-5p,and TyG are closely associated with AIS severity and poor prognosis.The above indicators combined with NIHSS scores can enhance predictive accuracy for unfavorable outcomes.

ObjectiveTo study the pharmacological substances and mechanisms through which sesquiterpene ZH-13 from Aquilariae Lignum Resinatum improves neuroinflammation. MethodsBV-2 microglial cells were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide （LPS） to induce neuroinflammation. The cells were divided into the normal group， the model group， and the ZH-13 low- and high-dose treatment groups （10， 20 μmol·L^-1）. The model group was treated with 1 μmol·L^-1 LPS. Cell viability was assessed using the cell proliferation and activity assay （CCK-8 kit）. Nitric oxide （NO） release in the cell supernatant was measured using a nitric oxide kit （Griess method）. The mRNA expression levels of interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， inducible nitric oxide synthase （iNOS）， and interleukin-6 （IL-6） were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR）. The phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK） pathway proteins was assessed by Western blot. ResultsCompared with the model group， ZH-13 dose-dependently reduced NO release from BV-2 cells under LPS stimulation （P<0.05， P<0.01）. In the 20 μmol·L^-1 ZH-13 treatment group， the mRNA expression levels of IL-1β， TNF-α， iNOS， and IL-6 were significantly reduced compared to the model group （P<0.05， P<0.01）. In both the low- and high-dose ZH-13 groups， the expression of the inflammatory factor TNF-α and the phosphorylation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase （JNK） in the upstream MAPK pathway were significantly reduced （P<0.05）. After stimulation with the JNK agonist anisomycin （Ani）， both low- and high-dose ZH-13 treatment groups showed reduced phosphorylation of JNK proteins compared to the Ani-treated group （P<0.01）. ConclusionThe sesquiterpene compound ZH-13 from Aquilariae Lignum Resinatum significantly ameliorates LPS-induced neuroinflammatory responses in BV-2 cells by inhibiting excessive JNK phosphorylation and reducing TNF-α expression. These findings elucidate the pharmacological substances and mechanisms underlying the sedative and calming effects of Aquilariae Lignum Resinatum.

BackgroundSleep disorder in the first trimester is a fairly common health problem， and previous studies have mainly reflected the overall sleep quality through scale assessments， which may not accurately capture the differences among various subtypes. ObjectiveTo explore the latent profiles of sleep quality in first-trimester pregnant women and identify the physiological， psychological and social factors， in order to provide practical references for the development of personalized interventions for sleep disorders in first-trimester pregnant women. MethodsA total of 1 066 first-trimester pregnant women who visited the obstetric outpatient clinic of a tertiary A hospital in Shenzhen from October 2021 to October 2022 were investigated using the general information questionnaire， Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index （PSQI）， Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale （EPDS）， Chinese version of short International Physical Activity Questionnaire （IPAQ-S-C） and Social Capital Assessment Tool in Pregnancy for Maternal Health （SCAT-MH）. Then the sleep profiles were identified through latent profile analysis， and the robust mixture regression model was employed to determine the influencing factors of sleep profiles. ResultsA 3-profile solution showed the best fit： 732 cases （68.67%） of good sleep quality group， 87 cases （8.16%） of low sleep efficiency group， and 247 cases （23.17%） of daytime dysfunction group. In comparison with subjects in good sleep quality group， first-trimester pregnant women in low sleep efficiency group were at a younger age （OR=0.951， 95% CI： 0.922~0.980）， held a Bachelor's degree or above （OR=1.869， 95% CI： 1.260~2.773） and exhibited lower levels of social capital （OR=0.962， 95% CI： 0.951~0.973）， while those in daytime dysfunction group were at an older age （OR=1.072， 95% CI： 1.027~1.120） and had higher levels of depression （OR=1.166， 95% CI： 1.115~1.218）. Pregnant women who were workers （OR=0.507， 95% CI： 0.293~0.876） were less likely to report daytime dysfunction. ConclusionThree latent profiles with significant heterogeneity are derived from the sleep quality of first-trimester pregnant women， and levels of depression and social capital are the main influencing factors of sleep quality. ［Funded by Industry-University-Research Innovation Fund for Chinese Universities （number， 2023HT018）］

AIM:To analyze the reasons for screening failure and explore the influencing fac-tors in clinical trial in healthy volunteers,guidance was provided to improve the success rate of screen-ing in the future.clarify the reasons for the failure in healthy subjects(HS)screening,and to provide guidance for screening in phase Ⅰ clinical trials.METHODS:We performed a retrospective study that described the process of HS screening in phase Ⅰ clinical trials carried out in department of clinical pharmacology lab,Nanjing First Hospital be-tween 2019 and 2022.We analyzed the reasons for screening failure and their impact on the failure rate.A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of subjects who participated in drug clinical trial screening 2019 to 2022.The reasons for screening failure were analyzed,and statistical methods were used to explore the independent factors that led to screening failure.RESULTS:A to-tal of 11 clinical trials were included in this study,and 502 out of 1 582 participants(31.7％)passed the screening.The analysis of the remaining 1 080 subjects showed that the items that did not pass the screening were laboratory examinations(631 cases,58.4％),abnormal vital signs results(228 cas-es,21.1％),intolerance to blood drawn(86 cases,8.0％),sufficient subjects(62 cases,5.7％),with-drawal at the screening(54 cases,5.0％),demogra-phy(54 cases,5.0％),urinary cotinine examination(42 cases,3.9％),imaging examination(31 cases,2.9％),electrocardiogram(24 cases,2.2％),inquiry(medical inquiry 19 cases,1.8％,smoking inquiry 2 cases,0.2％,alcohol inquiry 2 cases,0.2％)and identity verification(17 cases,1.8％).In the popula-tion with a body mass index(BMI)of 19.0 to 26.0,an increase in BMI is an independent factor signifi-cantly associated with screening failure(P＜0.000 1,OR=0.890 4,95％CI 0.841 9-0.941 3).The impact of different examination items on the screening fail-ure rate varies.CONCLUSION:In clinical trials of healthy subjects,laboratory tests,vital signs and in-tolerance to blood drawn are the main reasons for screening failure.Lowering the upper limit of BMI when recruiting subjects may increase the success rate of screening.Laboratory examinations,vital signs,intolerance to blood drawn are the most im-portant three reasons for screening failure,and im-provements can be made to reduce the screening failure rate of phase Ⅰ clinical trials in response to the main screening failure reasons.

OBJECTIVE:To systematically evaluate the correlation between phase angle and sarcopenia and its diagnostic indexes.METHODS:The PubMed,EMbase,Cochrane Library,Web of Science,CNKI,WanFang Data,VIP and SinoMed databases were electronically searched to collect studies on the correlation between phase angle and sarcopenia and its diagnostic indexes from database inception to May 8,2024. Two reviewers independently screened literature,extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed using RevMan 5.3 and Stata 14.0 software. RESULTS:A total of 50 eligible articles were included. Meta-analysis results showed that compared with the non-sarcopenic population,the phase angle was significantly reduced in sarcopenic patients[standardized mean difference (SMD)=-0.99,95％ confidence interval (CI) (-1.09,-0.90),P<0.00001]. The results of subgroup analysis indicated that the difference of phase angle was more significant in patients with severe sarcopenia and Asian sarcopenia. Moreover,reduction in the phase angle was more obvious in patients with malignant tumors and respiratory diseases with sarcopenia. And skeletal muscle mass index (Pearson's r=0.565,P<0.00001),grip strength (Pearson's r=0.446,P<0.00001),and gait speed (Pearson's r=0.405,P<0.00001) all showed a moderate positive correlation with phase angle. However,appendicular skeletal muscle mass index showed a very weak positive correlation with phase angle (Pearson's r=0.139,P=0.02). CONCLUSION:Phase angle has a significant difference between sarcopenia and non-sarcopenia population,and it is correlated with the diagnostic indexes of sarcopenia to different extents. It suggests that phase angle has some clinical values in the objective diagnosis of sarcopenia. However,the results may be influenced by some factors such as sarcopenia severity and detection instruments of phase angle. Due to the limited quality and quantity of the included studies,more high-quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
