Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and related prognostic factors of hypertriglyceridemia acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP). Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 350 patients with HTG-AP admitted to HanZhong Central Hospital from March 2019 to March 2024. All patients received conventional treatment. They were followed up for one year after treatment. The prognosis of the patients was statistically analyzed, and logistic regression was used to analyze the related factors of prognosis. Results HTG-AP patients had an acute onset, with clinical symptoms of sudden upper abdominal pain (329/350), nausea and vomiting (275/350), acidosis (101/350), and multiple organ failure (38/350). All patients had elevated serum TG. During the follow-up period, 123 cases had a poor prognosis (poor prognosis group), and 227 cases had a good prognosis (good prognosis group). Compared with the good prognosis group, the patients in the poor prognosis group had higher levels of TG, creatinine and C-reactive protein at admission, lower levels of serum calcium and albumin, and higher proportions of diabetes mellitus history and severe conditions (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis found that the factors related to the prognosis of patients with HTG-AP were TG level, C-reactive protein level, albumin level, history of diabetes mellitus, and moderate to severe condition (P<0.05). Conclusion HTG-AP patients have an acute onset and have main clinical symptoms of sudden upper abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Some patients experience systemic inflammatory reactions such as acidosis and multiple organ failure, and they may also have significantly increased serum TG. TG, C-reactive protein, albumin, history of diabetes mellitus, and severe disease conditions are associated with the prognosis of HTG-AP patients.

Objective To analyze the rates of drug resistance of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) and extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-E.coli) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of critically ill patients with severe pneumonia and artificial airway and risk factors of CRKP. Methods Patients with severe pneumonia and artificial airway treated in the Center of Emergency and Intensive Care Unit, Jinshan Hospital, Fudan University from May 2022 to May 2025 were selected. Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) and Escherichia coli (E.coli) isolated and cultured from BALF of these patients were analyzed. The drug resistance rates of the two bacteria were compared. The multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze related risk factors for CRKP infection. Results A total of 384 patients were included, and 384 strains were cultured, including 330 strains (85.9%) of K. pneumoniae and 54 strains (14.1%) of E.coli. The infection rate of K. pneumoniae was higher. Compared with E.coli, the drug-resistant gene expression rate of K. pneumoniae was lower (37.3% vs 57.4%, P＜0.01). The resistance rates of CRKP to cefotaxime, cefepime, aztreonam, and imipenem were higher than those of ESBL-E.coli (P＜0.003). Both CRKP and ESBL-E.coli had high sensitivity to polymyxin and tigecycline. Multivariate logistic regression showed duration of mechanical ventilation ≥ 7 days, and combination of ≥ 2 antibiotics for over 7 days were independent risk factors for CRKP infection (P＜0.01). Conclusions For patients with severe pneumonia and artificial airway in ICU, K. pneumoniae is the main bacterial infection. CRKP and ESBL-E.coli in BALF exhibit different degrees of drug resistance to various antibacterial agents, both have the characteristic of multidrug resistance, and are sensitive to polymyxin and tigecycline. Prevention and control of risk factors related to CRKP should be formulated particularly.

Extracellular vesicles(EVs)are nanoscale membrane vesicles released by cells that carry bioactive molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. They play a key role in intercellular communication. In recent years, they have shown significant potential in the diagnosis and treatment of corneal and ocular surface diseases. As diagnostic biomarkers, EVs derived from tears or other sources can reflect disease-specific characteristics, providing a basis for the early disease detection. In terms of therapy, mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)-derived EVs deliver miRNAs to modulate inflammatory pathways, promote corneal epithelial repair, and inhibit fibrosis. Furthermore, as natural drug vehicles, EVs enable precise delivery of therapeutic agents and promote corneal wound healing. This review systematically summarizes the recent research advances in the application of EVs in the field.

Digestive system tumors account for more than half of all malignant tumors in terms of incidence and mortality,and thus pose a serious threat to human health.Haptoglobin(Hp)is an acute-phase glycoprotein that is elevated in both plasma and tumor tissues in various clinical conditions,including different types of cancer,such as liver,gastric,colorectal,pancreatic,and gallbladder cancer.Numerous studies have indicated that Hp plays a significant role in the prognosis of cancer patients,highlighting its potential as a prognostic marker for gastrointestinal tumors,with important clinical applications.Despite its demonstrated crucial role in the development of various tumors,however,the specific mechanisms of Hp in gastrointestinal tumors remain controversial.This review considers the differential expression and clinical significance of Hp in the five major types of gastrointestinal tumors,to explore its role in different stages of cancer progression and prognosis.This review thus aims to provide reliable and accurate serum biomarkers for the screening,early diagnosis,treatment,and prognosis monitoring of gastrointestinal tumors,with important implications for predicting the survival and prognosis of cancer patients.

Objective The mechanism of Huazhuo xingxue decoction(HZXXD)in the treatment of ischemic stroke was explored through network pharmacology,molecular docking and cell validation.Methods TCMSP,TCMID,BATMAN-TCM database and literature search were used to get the chemical components and related target proteins of Huazhuo Xingxue Decoction,and the targets of dementia,stroke and amnesia were obtained from Genecards database and OMIM database.The traditional Chinese medicine-active components-target-network and protein interaction map were constructed by using Cytoscape,and the target was enriched by KEGG pathway by David database.Western blot was used to investigate the effect of HZXXD on inflammation-related core targets expression using oxygen and glucose deprivation/reoxygenation cell model.Finally,Autodock was used for molecular docking of key active ingredients and important targets to evaluate their binding activity.Results 76 active molecules and 33 common targets of herb-disease were screened out.KEGG bioaccumulation results involve multiple inflammatory signal pathways such as TNF,chemical carcinogenesis-reactive oxygen species and HIF-1.TNF-α was found to be the core target of HZXXD by oxygen glucose deprivation/reoxygenation cell experiments.Five compounds with the strongest binding ability to TNF-α,kaempferol,apigenin,aloe-emodin,baicalein and stigasterol,were screened by traditional Chinese medicine-active ingredient-target network map and molecular docking.Conclusion Huazhuo Xingxue Decoction may down regulate the expression of core target TNF-α,kaempferol,apigenin,aloe emodin,baicalein and stigasterol may be the main active substances for TNF-α binding.

Objective To investigate the damage characteristics of peri-implant bones with varying densities under impact and occlusal forces using numerical simulation.Methods A finite element model of the microstructure of an implant and bones with different densities was established.Impact and occlusal forces were applied sequentially to the implant.A user material subroutine was created for failure judgment using stress-based failure criteria,enabling the analysis of bone damage caused by impact and occlusal forces.Results No cortical bone damage was observed in bones of varying densities under impact force.Damage primarily occurred in the trabecular bone at the base of the implant,with the extent of damage worsening as bone density decreased.Additionally,the number of failed bone elements generated by the damage increased with reduced bone density.Bone tissues with pre-existing impact damage sustained secondary damage when subjected to occlusal force:the bonding interface between the implant and cortical bone was damaged,leading to implant displacement and fracture of peri-implant trabecular bone.The damage caused by occlusal force also worsened as bone density decreased.Conclusions The degree of damage from impact and occlusal forces is correlated with bone density,with damage worsening as bone density decreases.This underscores the protective role of cortical bone.The application of occlusal force exacerbates bone tissue damage,leading to implant displacement when the cortical bone is damaged.In clinical practice,patients with a history of impact damage should undergo thorough examination and evaluation.The occlusal force borne by damaged bones should be reduced;if necessary,the implant should be removed and reinserted after re-establishment of osseointegration.
