Objective:s To investigate the risk factors for delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning (DEACMP) in patients with acute carbon monoxide poisoning (ACOP) and to develop predictive models based on machine learning algorithms.Methods:Patients with ACOP hospitalized at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from August 2019 to October 2024 were included, with the occurrence of DEACMP as the outcome measure. The dataset was randomly divided into training and validation sets at a ratio of 7:3. Lasso regression was used to select features influencing the outcome in training sets. Nine machine learning models—including Random Forest (RF), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), and Support Vector Machine (SVM)—were constructed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted and the area under the curve (AUC) calculated for each model. Calibration curves were used to assess accuracy, and decision curve analysis (DCA) was applied to evaluate clinical utility. The SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) method was employed to visualize and interpret the best-performing model.Results:A total of 264 ACOP patients were included, of whom 54 (20.5%) developed DEACMP. Lasso regression identified eight key feature variables. Based on these factors, predictive models were constructed, showing good AUC stability across the nine machine learning models in both training (0.92–0.99) and validation sets (0.85–0.91). The RF model performed best, with an AUC of 0.99 in the training set and 0.90 in the validation set; its calibration curve and DCA curve also demonstrated excellent performance. SHAP analysis of the RF model revealed the importance ranking of factors from highest to lowest as follows: Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, duration of coma, age, history of coronary heart disease, CK-MB level, monocyte count, diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and drinking history.Conclusions:The RF model exhibited the highest predictive performance for DEACMP occurrence in ACOP patients. The influencing factors, ranked in order of importance from highest to lowest, are as follows: GCS score, duration of coma, age, history of coronary heart disease, CK-MB level, monocyte count, DBP, and drinking history.

Objective:To explore the changes of aquaporin-4 (AQP4) expression in rat astrocytes (RA) and rat model of radiation-induced brain injury (RIBI) after X-ray radiation, as well as its impact on cell functions.Methods:Logarithmic-phase RA were divided into four groups: Sham group (no treatment), AQP4 siRNA group (transfected with AQP4 lentivirus), IR group (single 20 Gy X-ray irradiation), and IR+AQP4 siRNA group (transfected with AQP4 lentivirus followed by single 20 Gy X-ray irradiation). The cell proliferation viability after radiation was detected using the CCK-8 assay. The relative expression of AQP4 mRNA in each group was measured by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, and the optimal AQP4 siRNA lentiviral sequence was selected for further studies. Western blot was used to detect the relative expression levels of AQP4, phosphorylated histone H2A family member X (γH2AX), autophagy-related proteins, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), proteins in the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) / protein kinase B (AKT) / mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway, and apoptosis-related proteins in cells from each group. Immunofluorescence (co-expression) staining was used to detect the expression of AQP4, γH2AX, GFAP, LC3, phosphatase and tensin homolog-induced kinase 1 (PINK1) in cells from each group, as well as the expression of AQP4 and LC3 in brain tissues from the rat RIBI model. Flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis rate of cells in each group. The differences between two groups were compared using the t-test, while the differences among multiple groups were evaluated using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's multiple comparison test. Results:The proliferation viability of RA decreased to its lowest level at 24 h after irradiation. At the 24 h post-irradiation time point, the expression levels of γH2AX and AQP4 were significantly increased in the IR group compared with the Sham group. The fluorescence intensity of AQP4 in the AQP4 siRNA group was lower than that in the Sham group. The cells in the IR group showed significant enlargement and irregular morphology, with a significant increase in AQP4 fluorescence intensity, while the IR+AQP4 siRNA group showed mild cell enlargement and lower AQP4 fluorescence intensity compared with the IR group. Compared with the Sham group, the expression of microtubule-associated protein1 light chain 3 (LC3) and PINK1 proteins were decreased in the IR group, while the IR+AQP4 siRNA group showed higher expression levels compared with the IR group. Compared with the Sham group, the IR group showed increased expression of AQP4, GFAP, and sequestosome 1 (P62) proteins, decreased expression of Beclin-1 (BECN1) and LC3 proteins, and a reduced LC3-II/LC3-I ratio, while the IR+AQP4 siRNA group exhibited a restored LC3-II/LC3-I ratio. The apoptosis rate in the AQP4 siRNA group was similar to that in the Sham group, while the IR group showed a significantly increased apoptosis rate, and the IR+AQP4 siRNA group had a lower apoptosis rate than the IR group. The expression of caspase-3 (Caspase3) decreased in the IR group, while the expression of PI3K, AKT, mTOR, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2, and cleaved Caspase3 protein increased; these changes were partially reversed in the IR+AQP4 siRNA group. In the rat RIBI model, the expression area and intensity of AQP4 were higher in the IR group compared with the Sham group, while LC3 expression showed the opposite pattern.Conclusions:The possible molecular mechanism of RA apoptosis caused by X-ray irradiation is that irradiation promotes the expression of AQP4, causes cell swelling, inhibits autophagy, and prevents cells from clearing damaged organelles in a timely manner, thereby promoting cell apoptosis.

In recent years,enhanced recovery after surgery(ERAS)has been widely used in clinical practice,aiming to optimize perioperative management measures through evidence-based medicine and reduce the physical and mental trauma,stress reactions,and complications of surgical patients through multidisciplinary collaboration.This paper examined the clinical practice of ERAS from the perspective of medical humanities,reviewed its development and characteristics,and first pointed out that the concept of"minimal harm"laid the medical humanities foundation for ERAS.However,the concept of"minimum harm"faced ethical and realistic challenges in practice,such as differentiated cognition between benefits and non-harm,the tension between generalization and personalization,and the gap between rehabilitation continuity and family care.This paper led into the caregiving perspective of social sciences,proposed"optimal care"as a supplement to the medical humanities concept of ERAS,and introduced its connotation and practice.The combination of"minimal harm"and"optimal care"can provide theoretical guidance for medical humanistic care in ERAS and innovate the practical path of medical humanities into clinical practice.

Objective To observe the value of intratumoral and peritumoral CT radiomics combined with clinical features for preoperative predicting lymphovascular invasion(LVI)of early lung adenocarcinoma.Methods Totally 252 patients with stage Ⅰ-Ⅱa lung adenocarcinoma were retrospectively enrolled and were divided into positive group(n=63)and negative group(n=189)according to LVI or not,also into training set(n=201)and test set(n=51)at a ratio of 8∶2.Clinical data and CT findings being significantly different between groups were included in multivariate logistic regression analysis to screen independent predictors of early lung adenocarcinoma LVI and to construct CT-clinical model.The best radiomics features were extracted and screened in ROI of tumor(ROI1)and outward of 3(ROI2),5(ROI3)and 7 mm(ROI4)with automatic delineation and expanding algorithm,respectively.K-nearest neighbor(KNN),support vector machine(SVM),decision tree(DT),random forest(RF)and logistic regression(LR)algorithms were used to construct radiomics models.The best classifier algorithm and ROI which could provide more effective radiomics information were selected to construct the best radiomics model,which was used to construct the combined model combining with CT-clinical model.Receiver operating characteristic curves were drawn,and the areas under the curves(AUC)were calculated to evaluate the efficacy of the above models for preoperative predicting early lung adenocarcinoma LVI.Results Solid lesion and CT-N+stage were both independent risk factors for early lung adenocarcinoma LVI(both P＜0.05).Peritumor 5 mm volume(GTPV5)was obtained based on ROI3,and the best radiomics model was the model established based on 14 optimal radiomics feature selected from RFGTPV5.AUC of CT-clinical model,RFGPTV5 model and combined model for preoperative predicting early lung adenocarcinoma LVI was 0.875,0.908 and 0.917 in training set,while was 0.831,0.853 and 0.862 in test set,respectively.Conclusion Intratumoral and peritumoral CT radiomics combined with clinical features had good efficacy for preoperative predicting LVI of early lung adenocarcinoma.Intratumor and peritumor 5 mm ROI could provide more valuable information.

In recent years， enhanced recovery after surgery （ERAS） has been widely used in clinical practice， aiming to optimize perioperative management measures through evidence-based medicine and reduce the physical and mental trauma， stress reactions， and complications of surgical patients through multidisciplinary collaboration. This paper examined the clinical practice of ERAS from the perspective of medical humanities， reviewed its development and characteristics， and first pointed out that the concept of “minimal harm” laid the medical humanities foundation for ERAS. However， the concept of “minimum harm” faced ethical and realistic challenges in practice， such as differentiated cognition between benefits and non-harm， the tension between generalization and personalization， and the gap between rehabilitation continuity and family care. This paper led into the caregiving perspective of social sciences， proposed “optimal care” as a supplement to the medical humanities concept of ERAS， and introduced its connotation and practice. The combination of “minimal harm” and “optimal care” can provide theoretical guidance for medical humanistic care in ERAS and innovate the practical path of medical humanities into clinical practice.
