Objective To construct a diagnostic and prognostic model for malignant pleural effusion (MPE) in patients with non-M1b stage (AJCC 7th edition) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by machine learning. Methods Retrospective analysis was conducted on patients diagnosed with NSCLC in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database from 2010 to 2015, excluding those in the M1b stage. Two sets of data were collected: data 1 (patients with non-M1b stage NSCLC, n=47 392) was used to construct the MPE diagnostic model; and data 2 (patients with M1a stage NSCLC and MPE, n=2 422) was used to construct a prognostic model. The Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression was used to screen feature variables, with a training set and validation set ratio of 7:3. Models were built using eight machine learning algorithms, with evaluation metrics including accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, area under the ROC curve (AUC), decision curve, calibration curve, and precision recall curve (PR), with ROC-AUC as the main evaluation metric. Results The incidence of MPE in patients with non-M1b stage NSCLC was 5.12%, and the 1-year survival rate of patients with MPE was 32.5%. LASSO regression identified nine diagnostic-related variables and 12 prognostic-related variables. The AUC values of the models constructed by eight machine learning algorithms all exceeded 0.70. The random forest model performed the best in the diagnostic model (training set AUC=0.908, validation set AUC=0.897), and the XGBoost model showed the best performance in the prognostic model (training set AUC=0.905, validation set AUC=0.875). Other evaluation indicators showed good results and balanced distribution. SHAP feature importance analysis showed that tumor size, lymph node metastasis, and histological type were important influencing factors for the occurrence of MPE, and chemotherapy intervention was the most remarkably prognostic factor. Conclusion The random forest diagnostic model constructed in this study can effectively predict the risk of MPE in patients with non-M1b stage NSCLC, and the XGBoost prognostic model can predict the prognosis of M1a-stage NSCLC patients with concurrent MPE.

AIM: To observe the changes of corneal densitometry(CD)in patients with keratoconus after corneal cross-linking(CXL).METHODS: Retrospective study. A total of 32 patients(43 eyes)with keratoconus in Ningxia Eye Hospital from April 2020 to April 2022 were selected. Pentacam analysis system divided the cornea into three layers: anterior 120 μm, middle layer and posterior 60 μm, and divides it into five regions with diameters of 0-2, 2-6, 6-10, 10-12 mm and full diameter according to the diameter, and measures the CD in different ranges. The changes of CD were compared before operation and at 1, 3 and 6 mo after operation.RESULTS: There were differences in uncorrected visual acuity, best corrected visual acuity and intraocular pressure before and 6 mo after operation(all P<0.05), and there was no difference in corneal endothelial cells(P=0.477). CD reached its peak at 1 mo after operation, and decreased at 3 mo and 6 mo after operation, but it was still higher than that before operation. There is a significant positive correlation between CD and Kmax in the anterior layer and the whole layer(r=0.164, P=0.016; r=0.152, P=0.023).CONCLUSION: The values of CD peaked at 1 mo after CXL, then it gradually decreased, tending to become stable at 6 mo postoperatively.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) shows a significant gender difference. In addition to X chromosome inactivation (XCI) abnormalities, which may lead to the gender difference in SLE, studies have found that estrogen plays a key role in regulating Th17/Treg immune balance in SLE. Estrogen indirectly affects the quantity and function of Th17 and Treg cells by acting on B cells. In this process, the mutual influence and the interaction between B and T cells promote the development of SLE. Recent studies have reported gender differences in intestinal microbiota, which may lead to sex-dependent genetic susceptibility and epigenetic changes in autoimmune diseases represented by SLE. The interaction between estrogen and intestinal microbiota in SLE affects the immune balance of Th17/Treg cells. This paper mainly reviews the way estrogen works, and the mechanisms by which estrogen regulates Th17/Treg immune balance and the interaction between B and T cells in SLE, hoping to provide new targets for new therapeutic strategies such as selective estrogen receptor modulators.

Cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon gene (STING) pathway, as an important part of the innate immune system, is the main pathway for cytoplasmic DNA recognition and cGAS can be triggered by a variety of cytoplasmic dsDNA. This pathway has become an important bridge connecting autoimmunity, aseptic inflammatory response and cell aging. In recent years, cGAS-STING pathway has attracted increasing attention in autoimmune diseases. In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) induce typeⅠ interferon response and accelerate the production of anti-citrullinated peptide antibody (ACPA) through the cGAS-STING pathway. In addition, the cGAS-STING pathway also participates in synovitis, bone destruction and RA progression by promoting the proliferation and activation of fibroblast-like synovitis cells and the polarization of M1 macrophages. Inhibition of the cGAS-STING pathway or its downstream signaling pathway can reduce synovial inflammation in RA, suggesting that cGAS-STING pathway may be a potential therapeutic target for RA.

Objective:To investigate the current situation of medication near-miss reporting barriers for pediatric nurses for pediatric nurses and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:Using a multi-stage cluster sampling method, clinical pediatric nurses from 13 hospitals of Henan Province were selected as research objects from July to October 2020. General situation questionnaire, Hospital Safety Atmosphere Questionnaire, Medication Near-miss Reporting Barriers Scale, Multiple Leadership Style of Head Nurse Scale and Patient Safety Competency Nursing Staff Self-rating Scale were used for investigation, and related factors affecting medication near-miss reporting barriers for pediatric nurses were analyzed. A total of 1 104 questionnaires were distributed and 1 070 were effectively returned, with the effective recovery rate of 96.92%.Results:The reporting rate of 1 070 pediatric nurses who actively reported medication near-miss reporting barriers was 14.42%, and the score of Medication Near-miss Reporting Barriers Scale was (98.1±21.46) . The total scores of Hospital Safety Atmosphere Questionnaire was (77.36±12.97) , score of Multiple Leadership Style of Head Nurse Scale was (74.4±15.89) , and score of Patient Safety Competency Nursing Staff Self-rating Scale was (107.81±2.59) . The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that educational background, entry length, job title, marital status, leadership style, patient safety competence, and hospital safety atmosphere were the main influencing factors of medication near-miss reporting barriers for pediatric nurses ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The medication near-miss reporting barriers for pediatric nurses are common, which are influenced by educational background, years of employment, leadership style, hospital safety atmosphere and other factors. Nursing managers should strengthen pediatric nurses' awareness of medication near-miss reporting, implement transformational leadership style and improve patient safety competence and hospital safety atmosphere, so as to promote drug use safety of children.

Objective To study the expression and significance of Nrf2 and caspase-3 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods The specimens from 82 cases of NSCLC in our hospital from September 2015 to December 2017 were selected for observation.All patients were surgically resected to obtain NSCLC specimens.The expression of Nrf2 and caspase-3 in NSCLC was detected by immunohistochemistry and its clinical significance was analyzed.Results The positive expression rate of Nrf2 in NSCLC (63.4％) was significantly higher than that in normal tissue (30.0％),with statistically significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).The analysis of clinical characteristics showed that the expression of Nrf2 in NSCLC was related to tumor diameter,tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage,lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis (P ＜ 0.05).The expression of Nrf2 in NSCLC was not significantly associated with gender,age,smoking history,case classification,and histological differentiation (P ＞ 0.05).The positive rate of caspase-3 in NSCLC (40.2％) and the positive rate of caspase-3 in normal tissues (40.0％) were not statistically different (P ＞ 0.05).Analysis of clinical characteristics showed that the expression of caspase-3 in NSCLC was related to TNM stage,lymph node metastasis,distant metastasis,and the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05);the expression of Nrf2 in NSCLC was not significantly associated with gender,age,smoking history,case classification,tissue differentiation,and tumor diameter (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The abnormal expression of Nrf2 and caspase-3 is correlated with the progression of NSCLC and the malignant biological behavior.Active detection of Nrf2 and caspase-3 levels can clinically determine the clinical stage,lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis of NSCLC,providing information to facilitate clinical development of relevant interventions.

Objective: To explore the effect of DMAIC(Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) in reducing catheter-related urinary tract infection. Methods: A retrospective case control method was used to select 578 patients admitted and treated in comprehensive ICU of Tianjin First Central Hospital from January to December 2018 with catheters as research objects.The 283 patients from January to June 2018 were the control group, and 295 patients from July to December 2018 were the observation group.Routine methods were used in the control group, and DMAIC method with 6 sigma management was used in the observation group. The correct rate of implementation of each measure, the utilization rate of urinary catheter and the infection rate between the two groups were compared.
