AIM: To investigate the influence of pterygium thickness and area on corneal refractive status.METHODS: Prospective longitudinal study. A total of 60 cases(60 eyes)of pterygium patients admitted to our hospital from January 2024 to September 2024 were randomly selected. All patients underwent pterygium excision combined with pedicle conjunctival flap transplantation for treatment. Optical coherence tomography(OCT)was used to measure the preoperative thickness of patient's pterygium, and a digital slit lamp microscope was used to measure the area of pterygium. The corneal refractive status(degree of corneal astigmatism and average curvature)and changes in uncorrected visual acuity of patients before surgery, 1 d, 1, and 3 mo after surgery were compared. The relationship between preoperative thickness and area of pterygium in patients and corneal refractive status indicators at different postoperative time points were analyzed, and Logistic regression was used to analyze the impact of pterygium thickness and area on postoperative visual improvement in patients.RESULTS: All patients completed follow-up after surgery for 3 mo. At 3 mo after surgery, visual acuity improved in 21 eyes(35%). The results of bivariate Pearson correlation analysis showed that the thickness and area of pterygium positively correlated with the degree of corneal astigmatism and uncorrected visual acuity before surgery and 1 d, 1, and 3 mo after surgery(all P<0.05), and negatively correlated with the average corneal curvature before surgery and 1 d, 1, and 3 mo after surgery(all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the thickness and area of pterygium before surgery, high degree of corneal astigmatism, and low uncorrected visual acuity(large LogMAR value)were all risk factors for poor postoperative visual improvement in patients(OR>1, P<0.05). The large average corneal curvature before surgery was a protective factor for poor postoperative visual improvement in patients(OR<1, P<0.05).CONCLUSION: The increase in thickness and area of pterygium can, to some extent, improve corneal astigmatism, reduce the average curvature of the cornea, and affect postoperative visual recovery.

ObjectiveTo investigate the association between the maintenance treatment of modified Yiqi Huoxue Jiedu Formula （益气活血解毒方） or poly ADP ribose polymerase （PARP） inhibitors and the recurrence and metastasis of advanced ovarian cancer. MethodsA case-control study design was employed， dividing patients with advanced ovarian cancer into two groups based on the occurrence of recurrence and metastasis following first-line maintenance treatment. Patients with recurrence and metastasis comprised the case group， while those without recurrence and metastasis served as the control group. The previous first-line maintenance treatment method was set as the exposure factor in the study （with the use of modified Yiqi Huoxue Jiedu Formula defined as exposed and PARP inhibitors defined as unexposed）. Basic information was collected for both groups， including the achievement of satisfactory R0 surgery， age， stage， neoadjuvant chemotherapy， lymph node metastasis， germline BRCA1/2 mutations， homologous recombination deficiency positivity， first-line maintenance treatment method （modified Yiqi Huoxue Jiedu Formula or PARP inhibitors）， and CA125 levels after the last chemotherapy. The baseline data of the two groups were assessed for differences. If there exists difference， a 1∶1 nearest neighbor matching method was used for propensity score matching. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were employed to evaluate the association between the modified Yiqi Huoxue Jiedu Formula or PARP inhibitors and the recurrence and metastasis of ovarian cancer. ResultsA total of 201 patients with advanced ovarian cancer were included， with 97 in the case group and 104 in the control group. Both groups showed statistically significant differences in R0 surgery， stage， neoadjuvant chemotherapy， and CA125 levels after the last chemotherapy （P＜0.05）， indicating baseline imbalance. After propensity score matching， there were 71 patients in both the case and control groups， achieving baseline balance （P＞0.05）. Univariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the achievement of satisfactory R0 surgery （P = 0.006）， disease stage （P = 0.001）， the use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy （P = 0.024）， treatment modality （P = 0.006）， and CA125 levels after the last chemotherapy （P = 0.013） were associated with the recurrence and metastasis of ovarian cancer. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that disease stage was an independent influencing factor for the recurrence and metastasis of ovarian cancer （P = 0.030）， whereas the P-value for the correlation between first-line maintenance treatment and ovarian cancer was 0.188. ConclusionFirst-line maintenance treatment of ovarian cancer patients with the use of modified Yiqi Huoxue Jiedu Formula or PARP inhibitors does not correlate with the recurrence and metastasis of ovarian cancer.

ObjectiveTo explore the possible mechanism of Yigan Fupi Prescription （抑肝扶脾方， YFP） in treating diarrhea-type irritable bowel syndrome （IBS-D） by investigating the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. MethodsSixty SD rats were randomly divided into control group， model group， YFP low-， medium-， and high-dose group， and pinaverium bromide group， with 10 rats in each group. All groups but the control group， were subjected to 21 days of tail-clamping stimulation and 14 days of senna leaf gavage to establish a liver stagnation and spleen deficiency-type IBS-D rat model. After successful modeling， the YFP low-， medium-， and high-dose group were administered 0.96， 1.93， and 3.87 g/（kg·d） of the prescription， respectively. The pinaverium bromide group was given 13.5 mg/（kg·d）， while the control and model groups were given 10 ml/（kg·d） distilled water. All groups were administered once daily for 14 consecutive days. General conditions of the rats were recorded during the experiment， and after modeling and drug administration， body weight， Bristol stool score， abdominal withdrawal reflex （AWR） score， and histo pathology of colon tissue were observed under HE staining. ELISA was used to detect serum levels of tumor necrosis factor α （TNF-α）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， and interleukin-6 （IL-6）. Immunofluorescence was employed to detect the levels of AKT/mTOR pathway-related proteins including phosphorylated AKT （p-AKT）/AKT and phosphorylated mTOR （p-mTOR）/mTOR in the colon tissue. Western Blotting was used to detect the levels of autophagy-related proteins， including UNC-51-like kinase 1 （ULK1）， Beclin1 and LC3， and tight junction proteins including Occludin and ZO-1 in the colon tissue. ResultsAfter modeling， compared to the control group， the body weight of rats in the other groups decreased， and Bristol stool scores， as well as AWR scores under 20， 40， 60， and 80 mmHg increased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. After drug administration， compared to the control group， the model group showed reduced body weight， decreased ULK1， Beclin1， LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ， Occludin， and ZO-1 protein levels in the colon tissue （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）， and increased Bristol stool scores， AWR scores， serum TNF-α， IL-1β， and IL-6 levels， as well as p-AKT/AKT and p-mTOR/mTOR protein relative expression levels （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Pathological results showed a significant reduction in goblet cells in the upper part of the glandular layer of the colon， with mild inflammatory cell infiltration. The submucosal collagen fibers were dissolved， with unclear boundaries， pale staining， and microvascular congestion and dilation. Compared with the model group， the YFP low-， medium-， and high-dose group and the pinaverium bromide group showed increased body weight， Beclin1， Occludin， and LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ protein levels （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）， and decreased Bristol stool scores， AWR scores under 40， 60， and 80 mmHg， serum IL-1β， IL-6， TNF-α levels， and p-AKT/AKT， p-mTOR/mTOR protein relative expression levels （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. The pathological morphology of the rats in the YFP groups and pinaverium bromide group showed varying degrees of improvement. Compared with the pinaverium bromide group， the YFP low- and medium-dose group showed increased AWR scores under 20， 40， and 60 mmHg （P＜0.05）. The YFP low-dose group had reduced TNF-α， IL-1β， and IL-6 levels， and increased p-mTOR/mTOR protein relative expression levels occured in all YFP groups （P＜0.05）. Compared with the YFP low-dose group， the YFP high-dose group and pinaverium bromide group showed decreased AWR scores under different pressure levels and reduced p-AKT/AKT protein relative expression levels， while the YFP medium- and high-dose group had elevated serum TNF-α， IL-1β levels and reduced p-mTOR/mTOR protein relative expression levels （P＜0.05）. ConclusionYFP can effectively improve the pathological injury of colon tissue in IBS-D model rats with liver stagnation and spleen deficiency， reduce Bristol stool and AWR scores， and its mechanism may be related to reducing level of inflammatory factors and inhibiting AKT/mTOR pathway-related proteins in colon tissue， thereby enhancing the expression of autophagy-related proteins in the colon tissue.

BACKGROUND:Ferroptosis is a mode of programmed cell death distinct from apoptosis,necrosis,and other novel cellular deaths,which occurs mainly due to accumulated lipid peroxidation.Ferroptosis has been shown to be involved in the pathological process following subarachnoid hemorrhage.Baicalein,serving as an adept sequestered of iron,evinces its prowess by quelling lipid peroxidative cascades.Nonetheless,the enigma lingers as to whether baicalein possesses the capacity to ameliorate neuronal ferroptosis,elicited in the wake of early brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect and mechanism of baicalein on neuronal ferroptosis after subarachnoid hemorrhage. METHODS:Primary neuronal cells were extracted from C57BL/6L fetal mice at 16-17 days of gestation.Hemoglobin was used to stimulate primary neuronal cells to simulate an in vitro subarachnoid hemorrhage model.The viability of primary neuronal cells treated with baicalein at concentrations of 5,15,25,50,and 100 μmol/L for 24 hours was detected by CCK-8 assay to determine the optimal concentration of baicalein.Primary neuronal cells were divided into control group,hemoglobin group,and hemoglobin+baicalein group.The levels of reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde in cells were detected by kits.The mRNA expressions of ferroptosis-related markers PTGS2,SLC7A11,and glutathione peroxidase 4 were detected by RT-PCR.The primary neuronal cells were further divided into control group,SLC7A11 inhibitor Erastin group,hemoglobin group,hemoglobin+baicalein group,and hemoglobin+baicalein+Erastin group.The expression of the ferroptosis related markers SLC7A11 and glutathione peroxidase 4 was detected by western blot assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Baicalein(25 μmol/L)was selected as the following experimental concentration.(2)Compared with the hemoglobin group,the level of malondialdehyde and the level of reactive oxygen species were significantly decreased(P<0.05)in the hemoglobin+baicalein group.(3)Compared with the hemoglobin group,the mRNA expression of PTGS2 significantly decreased,and the mRNA expression of SLC7A11 and glutathione peroxidase 4 significantly increased(P<0.000 1)in the hemoglobin+baicalein group.(4)SLC7A11 inhibitor Erastin could reverse the baicalin-improved ferroptosis effect to a certain extent(P<0.05).(5)The results showed that baicalein could alleviate the ferroptosis of neuronal cells after subarachnoid hemorrhage through the SLC7A11/GPX4 pathway.

Objective: This study explored the regulatory effects of QiShen Yiqi Dropping Pills (QSYQ) on chronic heart failure (CHF) in rats and their related mechanisms based on the gut microbiota and reactive oxygen species (ROS)/thioredoxin interacting protein (TXNIP)/NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) signaling pathway. Methods: Sixty-five SPF-grade male SD rats were used to establish a CHF model through subcutaneous multiple injections of isoproterenol (ISO) combined with exhaustion and food control methods. The modeled rats were randomly divided into model, captopril (5.30 mg/kg), and QSYQ low-, medium-, and high-dose groups (0.08, 0.16, and 0.32 g/kg, respectively), with 11 rats per group, plus a blank group of seven rats. The medication groups were given corresponding drugs by gavage, whereas the blank and model groups were administered an equivalent volume of purified water continuously for four weeks. Rat heart function was assessed via transthoracic echocardiography, and myocardial tissue pathology changes were observed through hematoxylin and eosin staining. Serum levels of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), lipopolysaccharide (LPS), interleukin-18 (IL-18), and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Automated biochemical analyzers were used to determine creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase (CK-MB) content. Myocardial ROS levels were examined using flow cytometry; myocardial TXNIP and NLRP3 expression were detected using immunohistochemistry. Real-time qPCR and Western blotting were used to examine myocardial mRNA and protein expression of TXNIP, NLRP3, apoptosis-related spot-like protein (ASC), caspase-1, and IL-1β, as well as myocardial thioredoxin (Trx) and colonic tight junction proteins (zonula occludens-1, ZO-1), occludin, and claudin-5. Differences in the gut microbiota of the blank, model, and QSYQ high-dose groups were determined using high-throughput 16S rDNA sequencing. Results: Compared to the blank group, the model group exhibited significantly reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular fraction shortening (LVFS) (P<0.01); increased serum BNP, LPS, IL-18, and IL-1β (P<0.01) levels; increased CK, LDH, and CK-MB (P<0.01) contents; visible myocardial tissue fibrous edema, wavy appearance, cytoplasmic loosening, round vacuolar degeneration, local tissue fibrous dissolution replaced by proliferative connective tissue, accompanied by inflammatory cell infiltration; significantly increased myocardial ROS levels (P<0.01); and significantly increased myocardial TXNIP and NLRP3 expression (P<0.01). TXNIP, NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1, and IL-1β mRNA and protein expression were significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01, respectively), whereas Trx, ZO-1, occludin, and claudin-5 expression was significantly decreased (P<0.01). Compared to the model group, the QSYQ high-dose group showed the most significant changes (P<0.05, P<0.01), with significant increases in LVEF and LVFS (P<0.01); significant decreases in serum BNP, LPS, IL-18, and IL-1β levels (P<0.01); significant reductions in CK, LDH, and CK-MB content (P<0.01); improved myocardial tissue damage; significantly decreased myocardial ROS levels (P<0.01); and significantly reduced myocardial TXNIP and NLRP3 expression (P<0.01). TXNIP, NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1, and IL-1β mRNA and protein expression were significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01), whereas Trx, ZO-1, occludin, and claudin-5 expression was significantly increased (P<0.01). 16S rDNA sequencing results confirmed that the gut microbiota of rats changed after modeling and drug intervention, with significant differences in both α- and β-diversity. Compared to the blank group, at the family level, the abundance of Oscillospiraceae decreased (P<0.05), whereas the abundance of Lactobacillaceae increased. At the species level, the abundance of Segatella copri and Treponema succinifaciens increased, whereas the abundance of Kineothrix alysoides (P<0.05), Ruminococcus callidus, and Prevotellamassilia timonensis decreased. Compared to the model group, at the family level, the abundance of Oscillospiraceae increased (P<0.05) in the QSYQ high-dose group, whereas the abundance of Lactobacillaceae decreased. At the species level, the abundance of Segatella copri and Treponema succinifaciens decreased, whereas the abundance of Kineothrix alysoides increased (P<0.05). Conclusion QSYQ can regulate the relative abundance of symbiotic bacteria Kineothrix alysoides in the intestines, reduce serum LPS levels, inhibit the ROS/TXNIP/NLRP3 signaling pathway, and improve inflammatory responses, thereby exerting therapeutic effects on CHF.

Objective:To investigate the influencing factors of diarrhea during early enteral nutrition(EEN)therapy in severe patients with temporary ileostomy.Method:A total of 154 patients with temporary ileostomy who received EEN in the Department of General Surgery,Jinling Hospital from November 2019 to November 2023 were included in this study.All patients were divided into two groups:the diarrhea group(n=43)and the non-diarrhea group(n=111).The clinical data of the patients were retrospectively collected and analyzed,and univariate analysis was performed to compare the differences between groups.The indicators with significant differences were subjected to multivariate logistic regression analysis to determine the influencing factors of diarrhea during EEN therapy in severe patients with temporary ileostomy.Result:Among the 154 patients,43 developed diarrhea during EEN therapy,with an incidence of 27.9%.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that enteral nutrition(EN)infusion rate(OR=6.342,P=0.001,95%CI:2.055～19.572),antibiotics type(OR=8.342,P=0.013,95%CI:1.577～44.119),mechanical ventilation(OR=7.011,P=0.001,95%CI:2.272～21.629),EN formulation type(OR=6.497,P=0.001,95%CI:2.177～19.392),and diabetes(OR=3.321,P=0.036,95%CI:1.080～10.215)were closely associated with EN-related diarrhea in severe patients with temporary ileostomy.Conclusion:There was a high incidence of diarrhea in severe patients with temporary ileostomy who received EEN.EN infusion rate,antibiotics use,mechanical ventilation,EN formulation type and diabetes were the influencing factors for presence of EEN-related diarrhea in the patients.Our data could provide a reference for preventing EEN-related diarrhea in severe patients with temporary ileostomy after surgery.

Objective To analyze the expression differences in immune cells and cytokines in advanced ovarian cancer with different homologous recombination deficiency(HRD)statuses,and provide insights for novel therapeutic strategies.Methods A total of 68 patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics(FIGO)stageⅢ-Ⅳ epithelial ovarian cancer,who were treated at Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology,Ruijin Hospital,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from Jan.2018 to Jan.2023,were enrolled.Based on genetic testing results,patients were stratified into HRD-positive(n=30)and HRD-negative(n=38)groups.Baseline characteristics and clinical outcomes were compared.The expression levels of CD4,CD8 and CD25 in ovarian cancer tissues of the 2 groups were analyzed by immunohistochemical staining.The proportions of CD4+T cells,CD8+T cells,and CD4+CD25+regulatory T cells(Treg cells)and CD4+/CD8+ratio in blood were analyzed by flow cytometry.The serum levels of interferon-γ(IFN-γ),interleukin(IL)-2,IL-6 and IL-10 were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results There were no significant differences in age,course of disease,family history,initial treatment,tumor FIGO stage,or tumor differentiation degree between the HRD-positive group and HRD-negative group(all P＞0.05).In terms of clinical efficacy,the objective remission rate and disease control rate of patients in the HRD-positive group were significantly higher than those in the HRD-negative group(both P＜0.05).Compared with the HRD-negative group,the expression levels of CD4,CD8,and CD25 in tumor tissues of patients were all increased in the HRD-positive group(all P＜0.05),the proportions of CD4+T cells,CD8+T cells,and CD4+CD25+Treg cells in blood were all increased(all P＜0.05),the CD4+/CD8+ratio in blood was increased(P＜0.05),the serum levels of IL-2,IL-6,and IL-10 were all increased(all P＜0.05),while the serum level of IFN-γ had no significant difference between the 2 groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion HRD-positive ovarian cancer displays enhanced tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and immunomodulatory cytokine secretion compared to HRD-negative cases,suggesting greater sensitivity to immunotherapy and better prognosis.

Objective To explore the neuroprotective effects of osteocalcin(OCN)on an Alzheimer's disease(AD)cell model and its potential mechanisms,providing a scientific basis for new therapeutic targets for AD.Methods Human neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y was treated with 40 nmol/L okadaic acid(OA)for 24 h to establish an AD cell model.The cells were divided into a normal group(untreated SH-SY5Y cells),a model group(40 nmol/L OA intervention),and an OCN intervention group(intervention with various concentrations of OCN in the AD cell model),and AKT knockout/overexpression groups(AKT-KO group and AKT-OE group),and AKT-KO OCN group and AKT-OE OCN group.CCK-8 assay was used to detect the changes in cell viability.Wright's staining was employed to observe the morphological changes of AD cells.Western blotting was utilized to detect the protein levels of Tau,p-Tau,Bax,Bcl-2,Caspase-3 and their lytic types,as well as the expression of Tau,p-Tau,mTOR,AKT and p-AKT in each group after AKT knockout/overexpression.TUNEL staining and flow cytometry were applied to detect the changes in early and late apoptotic cells and the apoptotic rate in the OCN-treated AD cell model.Results ①Compared to the normal group,the model group exhibited a significant decrease in cell viability,noticeable morphological and structural damage,upregulation of p-Tau and Caspase-3,increased early and late apoptosis,and a significantly higher apoptotic rate(P<0.05).②After treatment of different concentrations of OCN for 24 h,cell viability was increased to varying degrees compared to the AD model group,with the 100 pg/mL OCN group showing a significant increase in cell viability(P<0.01)and marked improvement in cell number and morphology(P<0.01).③ Compared to the AD cell model group,the p-Tau/Tau ratio was decreased in all OCN treatment groups,particularly in the 100 pg/mL OCN intervention group,where the p-Tau/Tau ratio was significantly lower than that of the model group(P<0.01).④ Compared to the model group,a significant concentration-dependent decrease in the Cleaved Caspase-3/Caspase-3 ratio was observed when OCN concentrations ranged from 1 to 100 pg/mL,with a significant reduction in the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio in the 100 pg/mL group(P<0.000 1).⑤ The results of TUNEL staining and flow cytometry showed that,compared to the model group,all concentrations of OCN effectively inhibited the apoptosis in the AD model cells,with a significant reduction in early and late apoptotic cells and apoptotic rate in the 100 pg/mL OCN group.⑥ Compared with the control group and the model group,the P-AKT was significantly increased in the AKT-OE group after AKT overexpression(P<0.05).The expression level of AKT protein was decreased in the AKT-KO group after AKT knockout(P<0.05).When the AKT pathway was inhibited,the expression level of p-Tau was higher in the AKT-KO group than the control group(P<0.05),and when the AKT was overexpressed,the expression level was significantly inhibited(P<0.05).Conclusion OCN may inhibit cell apoptosis and reduce p-tau protein level by regulating the ratio of Caspase-3/Caspase-3 and Bax/Bcl-2,and thereby improve the morphology of AD model cells and effectively protect nerve cells,which may be related to the regulation of the AKT/mTOR pathway.

Objective To develop and validate a risk prediction model for infiltration/extravasation in peripheral intravenous catheter therapy.Methods This retrospective study analyzed 942 patients who completed the Infiltration/Extravasation Risk Assessment Form between January and June 2023 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University(including Departments of Neurology,Endocrinology,Gastroenterology and Hepatobiliary Surgery).Patients were allocated to a derivation cohort(n=628)and validation cohort(n=314)in a 2∶1 ratio based on catheterization chronology.The derivation cohort served for model development and internal validation,while the validation cohort underwent external validation.Logistic scoring method constructed the risk model,with Hosmer-Lemeshow(HL)test assessing goodness-of-fit and ROC curve evaluating predictive performance.Twenty-one potential risk factors were assessed,including age,gender,chronic diseases,clinician experience,treatment compliance,and total infusion volume.Results Infiltration/extravasation occurred in 48 cases(5.10%incidence:31 derivation/17 validation).Among 21 factors,15 showed significant association(P<0.05),with 6 independent predictors:junior high school education or below(OR=5.2),chronic disease history(OR=3.1),poor compliance(OR=2.8),lower extremity venipuncture(OR=4.1),total infusion≥1 000 mL(OR=3.5),and hyperosmotic/corrosive medications(OR=6.7).The final prediction model was:Y=2×(low education)+1×(chronic disease)+1×(poor compliance)+1×(lower extremity puncture)+1×(volume≥1 000 mL)+2×(corrosive agents).For the derivation cohort,AUC was 0.967(95%CI:0.936～0.998),specificity 0.911,sensitivity 0.935,with good calibration(χ2=4.135,P=0.845).Validation cohort showed AUC 0.939(0.853～1.000),specificity 0.919,sensitivity 0.941,and acceptable calibration(χ2=8.998,P=0.085).Conclusion This model demonstrates excellent discriminative ability and calibration,providing an effective tool for identifying high-risk patients and guiding targeted preventive strategies.

Real-time analysis of major element content in raw ore slurry represents a crucial part in mining extraction processes.A self-developed real-time online detection system based on laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy(LIBS)was applied for rapid detection of primary elements in raw ore slurry.Using 72 synchronized samples collected from mining enterprises,with 58 samples allocated for model construction and 14 for validation,this research focused on addressing the industrial requirements for real-time monitoring of sulfur(S),arsenic(As),and copper(Cu)elements.Multiple characteristic spectral lines were selected from LIBS detection system's spectral data.The analytical approach combined multiple linear regression(MLR)for initial model development with partial least squares(PLS)full-spectrum analysis for model refinement,ultimately establishing calibration and prediction models for the three target elements.The results demonstrated that the integrated MLR-PLS methodology achieved high precision,with calibration model determination coefficients(R2)of 0.95,0.97,and 0.99,and prediction model R2 values of 0.96,0.94,and 0.99 for S,As and Cu,respectively.The mean relative prediction errors were 1.65%,2.10%and 0.86%,respectively,which could meet the practical production requirements of mining operations.This approach provided an effective technical solution for real-time quality monitoring in mineral slurry processing.
