Objective To construct a risk prediction model for post-stroke depression based on the neural network algorithm.Methods A prospective study was conducted on 260 stroke patients admitted in our center from March 2021 to March 2024.They were randomly divided into a train-ing set(80%,208 cases)and a verification set(20%,52 cases).According to the occurrence of post-stroke depression within 1 month after stroke,the training set was assigned into post-stroke depression group(62 cases)and non-post-stroke depression group(146 cases).The predictive fac-tors for post-stroke depression occurrence were screened through the training set,and the risk prediction models for post-stroke depression occurrence were constructed with multivariate logis-tic and neural network algorithms in the training set.The prediction efficiency of the two predic-tion models was compared and verified in the verification set.Results Within 1 month after stroke,76 cases(29.23%)experienced post-stroke depression(62 cases in training set and 14 in the validation set).Based on the data in the training set,the levels of CRP,FIB,IL-6,IL-lβ,TNF-αand IL-18,and neutrophil and lymphocyte ratio(NLR)were significant higher in the post-stroke depression group than the non-post-stroke depression group(P<0.01).Multivariate logistic re-gression analysis showed that CRP(OR=1.494,95%CI:1.239-1.802),FIB(OR=1.924,95%CI:1.191-3.109),IL-6(OR=1.128,95%CI:1.001-1.272),TNF-α(OR=1.051,95%CI:1.010-1.093),IL-1β(OR=1.096,95%CI:1.006-1.194),IL-18(OR=1.019,95%CI:1.002-1.036),and NLR(OR=1.873,95%CI:1.027-3.418)were risk factors for post-stroke depression(P<0.05,P<0.01).ROC curve analysis indicated that the AUC value of the predictive model of the neural network algorithm was higher than that of the model of multivariate logistic regression(0.931 vs 0.855,Z=3.448,P<0.05).Based on the validation set,the former model also had bet-ter accuracy than the latter one(92.31%vs 75.00%,P<0.05).Conclusion Circulating inflam-matory factors CRP,FIB,IL-6,IL-1β,TNF-α and IL-18,and NLR are related to the risk of post-stroke depression.The prediction model based on above factors combined with neural network al-gorithm can more effectively predict the risk of post-stroke depression.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease with a complex etiology. Monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) infiltration are associated with RA severity. We have reported the deletion of G-protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) reprograms macrophages toward an anti-inflammatory phenotype by recovering G-protein-coupled receptor signaling. However, as more GRK2-interacting proteins were discovered, the GRK2 interactome mechanisms in RA have been understudied. Thus, in the collagen-induced arthritis mouse model, we performed genetic GRK2 deletion using GRK2f/fLyz2-Cre+/- mice. Synovial inflammation and M1 polarization were improved in GRK2f/fLyz2-Cre+/- mice. Supporting experiments with RNA-seq and dual-luciferase reporter assays identified peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) as a new GRK2-interacting protein. We further confirmed that fms-related tyrosine kinase 1 (Flt-1), which promoted macrophage migration to induce angiogenesis, was inhibited by GRK2-PPARγ signaling. Mechanistically, excess GRK2 membrane recruitment in CIA MDMs reduced the activation of PPARγ ligand-binding domain and enhanced Flt-1 transcription. Furthermore, the treatment of mice with GRK2 activity inhibitor resulted in significantly diminished CIA pathology, Flt-1+ macrophages induced-synovial inflammation, and angiogenesis. Altogether, we anticipate to facilitate the elucidation of previously unappreciated details of GRK2-specific intracellular signaling. Targeting GRK2 activity is a viable strategy to inhibit MDMs infiltration, affording a distinct way to control joint inflammation and angiogenesis of RA.

Objective To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of enzalutamide in the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer from the perspective of healthcare in China.Methods Based on the published phase Ⅲ randomized controlled trial(ENZAMET),the disease process of metastatic prostate cancer was classified into three states:progression-free survival,progression survival and death,and the model period was defined as 28 days,and the study period was lifelong,and a Markov model was established to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the treatment of enzalutamide versus standard antiandrogen drugs in metastatic prostate cancer.Setting the willingness-to-pay(WTP)threshold at 3 times our 2022 gross domestic product(GDP)per capita and the robustness of the model analysis was verified by sensitivity analysis.Results Compared to the control group standard antiandrogen therapy,the incremental effect of enzalutamide was 0.92 quality-adjusted life years(QALYs),the incremental cost was 311 863.30 yuan,and the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio(ICER)was 338 981.85 yuan/QALY,which was higher than WTP threshold(257 094 yuan/QALY).The results of univariate sensitivity analyses showed that the total cost of the enzalutamide group,the PFS utility value,the cost of the PD status of enzalutamide group,and the unit price of enzalutamide had a greater impact on the model results.The results of the probabilistic sensitivity analysis suggested that the enzalutamide treatment regimen was not economical within the willingness-to-pay threshold of 3 times our 2022 GDP per capita.Conclusion Compared with the standard anti-androgen drugs,enzalutamide does not offer a cost-effectiveness advantage in the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer.
