Objective:To construct and validate a predictive model for postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic urological surgery.Methods:This retrospective study included the medical records of 932 patients who underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic urological surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2020 to February 2022. The patients were divided into a training group ( n=559) and a validation group ( n=373) at a 6∶4 ratio. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors for PPCs, and a nomogram prediction model was constructed based on these factors. The performance of the model was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic curve and calibration curve, and the clinical benefit was assessed using the clinical decision curve analysis. Results:The independent risk factors for PPCs included advanced age (>60 yr), smoking history, respiratory tract infection within 1 month, preoperative low SpO 2 (<96%), and prolonged length of postoperative hospital stay ( P<0.05), and the body mass index (18.5-<28.0 kg/m 2) was a protective factor. The nomogram prediction model developed based on the aforementioned 6 influencing factors had an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.81 (95% confidence interval 0.76-0.86) in training group and 0.80 (95% confidence interval 0.75-0.86) in validation group. The calibration curve indicated a good consistency between the predicted and actual occurrence curves, and the clinical decision curve analysis showed good accuracy and net benefit of the prediction model. Conclusions:The predictive model for PPCs is successfully constructed based on age, low body mass index, smoking history, history of respiratory tract infection within 1 month, preoperative low SpO 2 and prolonged length of postoperative hospital stay and has good predictive performance in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic urological surgery.

Objective To explore the influence of function-oriented training combined with proprio-ceptive neuromuscular facilitation(PNF)technique on stroke patients during convalescence.Methods A total of 106 patients with cerebral infarction during convalescence admitted to the First Hospital of Hebei Medical University and Hebei provincial of Tradifional Chinese Medicine Hospital from January 2021 to December 2023 were recruited and then randomly divided into combined group(53 cases)and control group(53 cases).The control group only received function-oriented training,while the combined group received function-oriented training combined with PNF technique.The neurological function,balance function,walking ability and motor function were compared before and after intervention and between groups.Results After intervention,the NIHSS score and central nervous system specific protein(S100β)and neuron specific enolase(NSE)levels were significantly lower in the two groups than those before intervention(P＜0.05),and the score and levels after intervention were significantly lower in combined group than the control group(13.28±0.86 vs 15.76±0.94,P＜0.01;1.56±0.24 μg/L vs 1.79±0.23 μg/L,P＜0.0 1;20.46±3.12 μg/L vs 24.75±3.69 μg/L,P＜0.01).The Berg balance scale(BBS)score,step speed and step length in 10-meter walking test(10 MWT)and Fugl-Meyer assessment score were significantly higher in both groups after intervention than those before intervention(P＜0.05),and the above indicators in the combined group were obviously higher than those in refer-ence group after intervention(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Conclusion For the patients during cerebral infarction convalescence,function-oriented training combined with PNF technique can not only promote the recovery of neurological function,but also enhance the balance ability and walking a-bility,and improve the limb motor function.

ObjectiveTo explore the application effect of using the comprehensive index method for occupational health risk assessment in the lead-acid battery enterprises. Methods Convenient sampling method was used to select two lead-acid battery enterprises A and B in Jiangsu Province, with eight key positions including ball grinding, plate casting, pasting, plate coating, plate grinding, plate slicing and brushing, welding and acid charging as the research subjects. Worksite survey of occupational health was conducted in these two lead enterprises, and the levels of lead smoke, lead dust and sulfuric acid in the key positions were detected. The health risk of occupational hazards in the eight key positions was evaluated by a comprehensive index method. Results The time-weighted average concentration (C_TWA) of lead smoke in plate casting and welding positions of enterprise A, the C_TWA of lead dust in plate grinding and plate slicing and brushing positions of enterprise A, the C_TWA of lead dust in plate grinding position of enterprise B, the C_TWA of lead smoke in welding position of enterprise B were exceeded national occupational exposure limits. The risk assessment results of the plate casting, welding, plate grinding and plate slicing and brushing positions were moderate risk, while other positions were low risk in enterprise A. The risk assessment results of the plate grinding and welding positions were moderate risk, while other positions were low risk in enterprise B. Conclusion The results of risk assessment by the comprehensive index method were consistent with the results of occupational hazard factors detection. The comprehensive index method could well evaluate the occupational health risks of lead-acid battery enterprises.

Objective:To explore the relationship between the ultrasound parameters of reproductive system and the expression of endocrine hormone in female pediatric patients with precocious puberty(PP),and to assess the treatment effect.Methods:A total of 160 female pediatric patients with PP who admitted to Beijing Jingmei Group General Hospital from January 2021 to December 2021 were selected,and they were divided into a positive group and a normal group based on the diagnostic criteria for precocious puberty,with 80 cases in each group.Ultrasound examination was performed on the uterus,ovaries and breasts of 160 female pediatric patients with PP,and the relevant parameters of them were measured,and the levels of endocrine hormone in the serums of them were detected.The pediatric patients of positive group underwent again the ultrasound examination and the detection of endocrine hormone after they completed treatment.The differences of ultrasound parameters and endocrine hormone between two groups were compared,and the correlation of ultrasound parameters and endocrine hormone between two groups were analyzed,as well as the influence factors of treatment effect.Results:The length and thickness of the uterus,the ratio of the length of the uterus to the length of cervix,the thickness of the endometrium,the size of the ovaries,the number of follicles,and the width and thickness of the hypoechoic area of the breast in the positive group were significantly larger than them in the normal group,and the differences of them were statistical significance(t=16.8,12.6,12.4,14.7,11.5,15.8,10.9,10.2,P<0.05),respectively.The resistance index(RI)of uterine artery of positive group was significantly smaller than that of normal group,and the difference was statistically significant(t=-7.9,P<0.05).The serum estradiol(E2),gonadotropin(GnRH),follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH),luteinizing hormone(LH),progesterone(P)and growth hormone(GH)levels of positive group were significantly higher than those of normal group,and the differences of them were significant(t=20.6,19.8,15.4,17.6,15.2,8.9,P<0.05),respectively.After treatment,the above-mentioned ultrasound parameters and endocrine hormone levels of the pediatric patients in the positive group were significantly improved.The relevant analysis showed that ultrasound parameters were positively correlated with levels of endocrine hormone,and they were important influence factor on the levels of endocrine hormone.In addition,the treatment effect was related to ultrasound parameters(OR=0.78-1.28,P<0.05),the levels of endocrine hormone(OR=0.73-0.77,P<0.05),age,height,weight and BMI(OR=0.70-0.72,P<0.05).Conclusion:The ultrasound parameters of the reproductive system of female pediatric patients with PP are closely related to the expression of endocrine hormones.The levels of endocrine hormones can be used as important indicators of the disease condition and prognosis of female pediatric patients with PP.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of gut microbiota in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) complicated by nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).Methods:A total of 74 patients first diagnosed with T2DM at the Endocrinology Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital from April 2021 to October 2023 were included. Among them, 28 patients had concurrent NAFLD while 46 patients did not. Additionally, 51 healthy controls were matched (HC group). Clinical laboratory parameters were collected, and 16S rRNA sequencing with fecal samples was conducted to compare the differences in gut microbiota across the groups.Results:Compared to the group with T2DM, patients with concurrent T2DM and NAFLD were younger, had higher level of insulin resistance as assessed by the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance, higher body mass index (BMI), and higher triglyceride levels. There was no difference in α-diversity across the three groups ( P>0.05), while there was a significant difference in β-diversity ( P=0.03). The Eubacterium coprostanoligenes, Fusicatenibacter, Parasutterella and Tyzzerella 3 were enriched in the group with concurrent T2DM and NAFLD as shown by the relative abundance, while the relative abundance of Flavonifractor was decreased in this group. Tyzzerella 3 abundance was positively correlated with triglyceride and albumin levels and negatively correlated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. Conclusion:Patients with T2DM complicated by NAFLD exhibit dysbiosis in gut microbiota composition and specific genera abundance, with Flavonifractor identified as a potential protective factor for T2DM complicated by NAFLD.

Objective:To investigate the effect and mechanism of miR-217 targeted regulation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 2(ERK2)expression on activity and immune escape of non-small cell lung cancer cells(NSCLC).Methods:qRT-PCR was used to detect expression levels of miR-217 and ERK2 mRNA in NSCLC tissues,adjacent tissues,and HLF-1,A549 and HCC827 cell lines.Analyzed prognosis and survival status of NSCLC patients with different miR-217 expression level.Bioinformatics and dual luciferase gene reporting experiments were used to analyze the targeting relationship between miR-217 and ERK2.Cultivated NSCLC A549 cells and divided them into NC group,miR-217 inhibitor group,miR-217 mimic group,miR-217 mimic+ERK2 NC group and miR-217 mimic+ERK2 group.Except for the NC group without any treatment,all other groups were transfected with corresponding plasmids to analyze the proliferation activity and immune escape status of A549 cells in each group,and clarified the mechanism of action.Results:Compared with adjacent tissues,expression of miR-217 in NSCLC tissue was decreased,while expression of ERK2 mRNA was increased(P<0.05).Compared with human normal lung fibroblast HLF-1 cell lines,expression of miR-217 in NSCLC cell lines A549 and HCC827 were decreased,while expression of ERK2 mRNA was increased(P<0.05).Analysis of the relationship be-tween miR-217 and prognosis of NSCLC patients based on Kaplan-Meier Plotter database showed that low expression of miR-217 was associated with poor prognosis of patients(HR=0.90,P=0.033).Dual fluorescein reporter genes showed matching sequences between the 3'UTR regions of miR-217 and ERK2.miR-217 mimic fragment could inhibit ERK2-WT signal,but had no effect on ERK2-MUT.Compared with NC group,cell proliferation activity,PD-L1 and PD-L2 mRNA expression levels of miR-217 inhibitor group were in-creased,while CD8+T cell activity was decreased,and cell proliferation activity,PD-L1 and PD-L2 mRNA expression levels of miR-217 mimic group were decreased,while CD8+T cell activity was increased(P<0.05).Compared with miR-217 mimic group,cell pro-liferation activity,CD8+T cell activity,PD-L1 and PD-L2 mRNA expression levels of miR-217 mimic+ERK2 NC group had no signifi-cant changes(P>0.05),cell proliferation activity,PD-L1 and PD-L2 mRNA expression levels of miR-217 mimic+ERK2 group were increased,while CD8+T cell activity was decreased(P<0.05).Conclusion:Overexpression of miR-217 can reduce the activity of NSCLC cell A549,inhibit the expression of PD-L1,activate CD8+T cells in tumor microenvironment,and then inhibit immune es-cape,which may play a role by targeting ERK2.
