Objective:A model for predicting sentinel lymph node metastasis was established based on positron emission tomography(PET)-related metabolic parameters and clinicopathological characteristics.Methods:A retro-spective analysis was conducted on 211 patients diagnosed with breast cancer through surgical pathology from January 2016 to March 2023 in Meizhou People's Hospital,who underwent whole-body PET/CT examinations prior to surgery.Clinical,pathological,and PET-related metabolic parameters were collected.The study analyzed the association be-tween clinicopathological characteristics of the primary breast cancer lesion,PET metabolic parameters,and sentinel lymph node metastasis.A logistic regression predictive model was constructed using Broussonetia papyrifera.Results:Breast cancer primary lesion PET-suspicious axillary lymph nodes,vascular tumor thrombus,estrogen receptor(ER),and progesterone receptor(PR)showed statistically significant differences between the two groups(all P<0.05),while maxi-mum tumor diameter,SUVmax tumor location,maximum standardized uptake value(SUVmax),metabolic tumor volume(MTV),total lesion glycolysis(TLG),tumor location,number of lesions,pathological type,histological grade,neural inva-sion,Homo sapiens epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER-2),and nuclear-associated antigen Ki-67(Ki-67)showed no statistically significant differences between the two groups(all P>0.05).Parameters with P<0.05 in the univariate analysis were subjected to multivariate logistic regression analysis,and the logistic regression model was established as Logit(P)=-0.437×vascular tumor thrombus+4.685×suspicious axillary lymph node metastasis.The predictive model AUC was 0.738(P<0.001,95%CI:0.664～0.812),with sensitivity and specificity of 63.4%and 74.4%,respectively.Con-clusion:PET findings of the primary breast cancer lesion regarding suspicious axillary lymph node metastasis,vascular tumor thrombus,ER and PR are associated with sentinel lymph node metastasis.The predictive model established based on PET-detected suspicious axillary lymph node metastasis and vascular tumor thrombus in primary breast cancer lesions has certain value in predicting sentinel lymph node metastasis,potentially providing a non-invasive examination modality for clinical practice.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of cases involving monkey injuries at medical institutions surrounding Qianlingshan Park in Guiyang City, and to provide a reference basis for preventive measures to reduce monkey injuries and standardized post-exposure treatment.Methods:A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted, collecting 1 900 cases of monkey-induced injuries in Qianlingshan Park treated at the outpatient clinic of Guizhou Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the Department of Surgery at Qianling Hospital, Guiyang City, from 2021 to 2024. Statistical analysis was performed using Pearson′s chi-square test.Results:Total of 1 900 cases of monkey-related injuries in Qianlingshan Park were collected from 2021 to 2024. The exposure time distribution exhibited significant seasonality, with 48.58% of cases occurring during July and August, totaling 923 cases, indicating a peak in the summer. There were 774 male patients and 1 126 female patients, with a ratio of 1∶1.45.and significant differences were observed between different age groups and genders (χ2=195.00, P<0.001), with the highest number of cases occurring in the 0-9 and 20-29 age groups, accounting for 22.05%(419 cases) and 21.79%(414 cases), respectively. The upper limbs were the most common injury site, accounting for 50.84% of the total cases(966 cases in total), with significant differences between gender and injury location (χ2=22.00, P<0.001), Among females, the proportion of injuries to the upper and lower limbs (30.11% and 16.47%, respectively) was higher than that among males (20.74% and 8.63%, respectively). The majority of injuries were classified as Grade Ⅲ, making up 57.38% of cases(1 069 cases in total). Self-treatment after exposure was the most common approach(60.44%), with significant differences observed between wound severity and treatment method (χ2=6.90, P=0.032), Patients with Grade Ⅱ and Grade Ⅲ wounds were more likely to choose self-management (26.84% and 33.23%, respectively) than outpatient management (15.14% and 24.15%). Approximately 98.05% (1 863 cases) of monkey-injured patients had received rabies vaccinations. Conclusions:This study analyzes monkey-related injuries in Qianlingshan Park from 2021 to 2024, clarifying the temporal distribution of injuries, demographic characteristics, injury sites, and treatment methods. The findings provide references for optimizing human-monkey conflict management and the prevention and control of zoonotic diseases in urban ecological parks.

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical characteristics and risk factors for 30-day mortality in hospitalized patients with bloodstream infections (BSI) caused by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP). MethodsData were obtained retrospectively from the electronic medical records of inpatients at a tertiary A-grade hospital in Shanghai from January 2016 to December 2023. The collected variables included age, gender, department, surgical treatment, empirical antibiotic therapy, Pitt Bacteremia score (PBS), Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), INCREMENT-CPE score (ICS), length of hospital stay, the time from CRKP-BSI to discharge and, etc. The follow-up period ended upon discharge, with the follow-up outcomes defined as in-hospital mortality or discharge. The endpoint was defined as death within 30 days (including day 30) caused by CRKP-BSI or infection-related complications. Patients who survived within 30 days after CRKP-BSI were classified into the survival group, while those who died within 30 days were classified into the death group. Independent risk factors for 30-day mortality in patients with CRKP-BSI were analyzed using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis. ResultsA total of 71 hospitalized patients with CRKP-BSI, comprising 51 males and 20 females, with an average age of (65.12±18.25) years, were included during the study period. The M (P₂₅, P₇₅) of hospital stay were 37.00 (24.00, 56.00) days, and M (P₂₅, P₇₅) of the duration from CRKP-BSI to discharge or death were 18.00 (7.00, 35.00) days. There were 20 deaths (28.17%) in the death group and 51 survivors (71.83%) in the survival group. The results of multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the ICS as an independent risk factor for 30-day mortality in CRKP-BSI patients (HR=1.379, 95%CI: 1.137‒1.671, P=0.001). Each 1-point increase in the ICS was associated with a 37.9% increase in the risk of mortality. ConclusionThe ICS is found to be a risk factor for 30-day mortality in patients with CRKP-BSI, which may facilitate the prediction for the risk of 30-day mortality and thereby support clinical decision-making for patients with CRKP-BSI.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of enteral nutrition combined with trocar puncture with a sump drain in the treatment of Crohn's disease(CD)complicated by intra-abdominal abscess.Methods:A descriptive case series study was conducted.Clinical data of CD patients with intra-abdominal abscess who received enteral nutrition and trocar puncture with a sump drain at the Intestinal Fistula and Intra-abdominal Infection Center of Nanjing BenQ Hospital between June 2018 and December 2022 were retrospectively collected.Laboratory parameters,including white blood cell(WBC)count,C-reactive protein(CRP),and procalcitonin(PCT),were recorded at baseline(pre-puncture)and on days 1,3,and 7 post-puncture.Changes in clinical indicators before and after intervention were compared.Results:All 19 CD patients with intra-abdominal abscess successfully underwent CT-guided trocar puncture with a sump drain,with fistulography confirming the presence of intestinal fistula.No post-procedural complications,including puncture site infection,new-onset intestinal fistula or intra-abdominal hemorrhage,were observed.The median treatment duration was 58.3 days(range:14～300 days).10 patients achieved spontaneous healing while 9 eventually underwent surgical intervention for unresolved fistulas.Post-puncture WBC levels decreased significantly on days 1,3,and 7 compared to baseline(P<0.05).Serum CRP levels increased markedly on day 1 post-puncture(P<0.05)but declined significantly by days 3 and 7(P<0.05).No statistically significant difference was observed in serum procalcitonin levels before and after puncture(P>0.05).Conclusion:The combination of enteral nutrition and trocar puncture with a sump drain is safe,feasible,and effective for managing CD complicated by intra-abdominal abscess.

Objective To explore the correlation between the rs7296288 single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP)of the DHH gene and the onset of depression.Methods From March 2018 to December 2019,480 patients with depression in Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital,Jining Mental Hospital,Yunnan Mental Health Center were collected as the case group,and 329 patients without depression were collected as the control group.Peripheral blood samples were collected and DNA was extracted.After multiple amplification and high-throughput sequencing,statistical software was used to analyze the relevant data.Results The rs7296288 polymorphism of the DHH gene,the AA genotype was 32.9％in the control group and 36.7％in the case group,with no statistical difference;the AC genotype was 52.8％in the control group and 47.7％in the case group,with no statistical difference;the CC genotype was 14.3％in the control group and 15.6％in the case group,with no statistical difference.The co-dominant,dominant,and recessive statistical models were not statistically significant.Subgroup analysis of the degree of depressive episodes,suicide attempts,and first-episode patients did not find an association between the rs7296288 SNP locus of the DHH gene and the clinical features of depression,that is,the SNP rs7296288 of the DHH gene had no significant correlation with depression.Conclusion The rs7296288 polymorphism of DHH gene is not correlated with the pathogenesis of depression.

Accurate timing of myelination is crucial for the proper functioning of the central nervous system. Here, we identified a de novo heterozygous mutation in TMEM63A (c.1894G>A; p. Ala632Thr) in a 7-year-old boy exhibiting hypomyelination. A Ca²⁺ influx assay suggested that this is a loss-of-function mutation. To explore how TMEM63A deficiency causes hypomyelination, we generated Tmem63a knockout mice. Genetic deletion of TMEM63A resulted in hypomyelination at postnatal day 14 (P14) arising from impaired differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs). Notably, the myelin dysplasia was transient, returning to normal levels by P28. Primary cultures of Tmem63a^-/- OPCs presented delayed differentiation. Lentivirus-based expression of TMEM63A but not TMEM63A_A632T rescued the differentiation of Tmem63a^-/- OPCs in vitro and myelination in Tmem63a^-/- mice. These data thus support the conclusion that the mutation in TMEM63A is the pathogenesis of the hypomyelination in the patient. Our study further demonstrated that TMEM63A-mediated Ca²⁺ influx plays critical roles in the early development of myelin and oligodendrocyte differentiation.
