Objective To construct and compare logistic regression and decision tree models for predicting systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) in patients with type B aortic dissection (TBAD) after interventional surgery. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of TBAD patients at Peking University Shenzhen Hospital from 2020 to 2024. The patients were divided into a SIRS group and a non SIRS group based on whether SIRS occurred within 24 hours after surgery. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of SIRS occurrence in TBAD intervention patients, and a decision tree model was constructed using SPSS Modeler to compare the predictive performance of the two models. Results A total of 742 patients with TBAD were included, including 579 males and 163 females, aged 27-97 (58.85±10.79) years. Within 24 hours after intervention, a total of 506 patients developed SIRS, with an incidence rate of 68.19%. Logistic regression analysis showed that the extensive involvement of the dissection, the surgical time≥2 hours, PET coated stents implanted, serum creatinine, white blood cell count, C-reactive protein, monocyte (MONO), neutrophil count levels elevated, estimated glomerular filtration rate and decreased albumin levels were independent risk factors for SIRS (P<0.05). The decision tree model selected a total of 10 explanatory variables and 6 layers with 37 nodes, among which MONO was the most important predictor. The area under the decision tree model curve was 0.829 [95%CI (0.800, 0.856)], which was better than the logistic regression model's 0.690 [95%CI (0.655, 0.723)], and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.001). Conclusion The incidence of SIRS after TBAD intervention is high, and the decision tree model has better predictive performance than logistic regression. It can identify high-risk patients with higher accuracy and provide a practical tool for early clinical intervention.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the current status of informatization tools applied to antimicrobial stewardship in county hospitals in China， and to provide a reference for promoting the informatization development of antimicrobial stewardship in county hospitals.METHODS From August to September 2025， an online questionnaire survey was conducted among 1 007 county hospitals across 31 provinces（autonomous regions， and municipalities） in China. The survey focused on the application of four types of informatization tools：the real-time monitoring system for antimicrobial use， the pre-prescription review system， the irrational use warning system， and the electronic prescription evaluation system（hereinafter referred to as the “monitoring system”“review system”“warning system”“evaluation system”，respectively）. Correlation analysis and binary Logistic regression analysis were employed to explore the influencing factors.RESULTS Of the county hospitals， 80.83% were equipped with at least one type of informatization tool for antimicrobial stewardship， while 19.17% had no relevant tool. Only 18.87% of the hospitals were equipped with all four types of tools. The monitoring system exhibited the highest equipped rate （70.80%）， whereas the warning system was equipped in only 33.96% of the hospitals. Four types of tools are evenly and adequately deployed in the eastern region， the central and western regions have far lower deployment rates of intervention tools including review system and warning system， accompanied by prominent intra-provincial gaps. The total number of the health technicians， hospital grade， and prescription review rate of outpatient antibacterial drug were significantly and positively correlated with the deployment rates of the four informatization tools （ P ＜0.05）. The results of the Logistic regression model fitting indicated that the model of the review system was rated “excellent” [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve （AUC）＝0.81]， and the model of the warning system was rated “further improvement” （AUC＝0.67）. The total number of health technicians was significantly positively correlated with the deployment rates of all four types of informatization tools （all P ＜0.05）.CONCLUSIONS The informatization of antimicrobial stewardship in county hospitals in China remains in the initial stage of transitioning from “passive statistics” to “active prevention and control”， with challenges such as structural imbalance and regional disparities. In the future， differentiated support strategies should be implemented， the allocation of resources should be optimized， to enhance the level of refined antimicrobial stewardship.

Background Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are synthetic chemicals characterized by environmental persistence and have been ubiquitously detected in pregnant women. Although existing evidence suggests that PFAS may exert endocrine-disrupting effects, evidence remains limited regarding the associations of individual legacy and emerging PFAS congeners, as well as PFAS mixtures, with fetal hormonal homeostasis. Objective Based on the Jiashan Birth Cohort in China, to investigate the associations between maternal plasma concentrations of legacy and emerging PFAS in the second trimester and levels of multiple hormones in fetal cord blood. Methods A total of 336 women in the second trimester from the Jiashan Birth Cohort were enrolled. Concentrations of 53 legacy and emerging PFAS were measured in maternal plasma, and levels of eight key hormones were determined in fetal cord blood. Multiple linear regression, restricted cubic spline, and Bayesian kernel machine regression models were used to examine the linear, nonlinear, and joint associations of individual PFAS and PFAS mixtures with fetal cord blood hormone levels. Results Maternal plasma concentrations of perfluorononanoic acid, perfluorohexane sulfonic acid, perfluorooctanesulfonic acid, and 8:2 chlorinated perfluoroether sulfonic acid were positively associated with cord blood levels of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1), with β values of 0.040, 0.050, 0.040, and 0.030, respectively (all P<0.05). In contrast, perfluoroheptanoic acid was negatively associated with prolactin levels (β=−0.060, P<0.01). Restricted cubic spline models revealed a nonlinear dose–response relationship between perfluorobutane sulfonic acid and growth hormone (likelihood ratio test P=0.045), with a positive association in the intermediate concentration interval (β=0.261, P=0.010) that turned negative at higher concentrations (β=−0.425, P=0.048), as well as a nonlinear trend between 6:2 fluorotelomer sulfonic acid and prolactin (likelihood ratio test P=0.074). Bayesian kernel machine regression analysis indicated a negative trend between PFAS mixture exposure and cord blood prolactin levels. Conclusion Maternal PFAS exposure in the second trimester is associated with higher insulin-like growth factor 1 levels and lower prolactin levels in fetal cord blood. Prolactin appears to be consistently associated with both individual PFAS congeners and PFAS mixtures. These findings suggest that maternal PFAS exposure may affect fetal endocrine homeostasis by disrupting the hypothalamic-pituitary-prolactin regulatory axis.

Objective:To investigate the distribution and clinical significance of amniotic fluid karyotype results in 2 725 cases from southern Anhui.Methods:The karyotypes of amniotic fluid from 2 725 cases of second-trimester pregnant women treated in our hospital from Jan 2017 to Dec 2023 were collected.The annual abnormal detection rate and overall abnormal rate were analyzed.Meanwhile,the abnormal detection rate was compared among 8 groups of different clinical indication including adverse pregnancy history,advanced maternal age(≥35 years),high risk of Down syndrome screening,high risk of non-invasive prenatal testing(NIPT),nuchal translucency thickness(NT)≥2.5 mm,abnormal ultrasound findings,two or more concurrent positive indications,and others.The abnormal detection rate was calculated within high risk of Down syndrome screening and NIPT.Results:Significant differences in annual abnormal rates were observed from 2017 to 2023(χ2=19.705,P=0.003).Among 2 725 cases,233(8.55%)showed abnormal karyotypes.Among them,abnormal autosomal number was the most prevalent(4.41%,120/2 725),with inversion being the most common chromosome structural abnormality.Significant differences in abnormal rates were noted among the eight clinical indication groups(χ2=438.516,P＜0.01).No statistical difference was found in abnormal detection rates among the three high-risk subgroups of Down syndrome screening(χ2=0.323,P=0.851),while significant differences were observed within the high-risk subgroups of NIPT(χ2=100.901,P＜0.01).Polymorphisms were detected in 65 cases(2.38%).Conclusions:Chromosomal numerical and structural abnormalities have been detected in southern Anhui over the past seven years,with variations across subgroups.Karyotype analysis effectively detects second-trimester fetal chromosomal abnormalities,aiding in the prevention of birth defects and worthing clinical application.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of the nitroglycerin-controlled low central venous pressure （CLCVP） technique on brain metabolic markers and cerebral blood oxygen saturation in patients undergoing laparoscopic hepatectomy for liver cancer， and to reduce the risk of neurological complications. MethodsA total of 105 patients who underwent elective laparoscopic hepatectomy for liver cancer in Haikou Hospital Affiliated to Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from April 2020 to May 2023 were enrolled and randomly divided into CLCVP group with 54 patients and non-CLCVP group with 51 patients. The patients in the CLCVP group were treated with the nitroglycerin CLCVP technique during surgery， while those in the non-CLCVP group were given conventional surgical treatment. The two groups were compared in terms of the following indicators： perioperative indicators； hemodynamic parameters and cerebral oxygen metabolism before anesthesia induction （T0）， at 5 minutes after anesthesia induction （T1）， at 5 minutes after the beginning of liver parenchyma dissection （T2）， at 5 minutes after the end of hepatectomy （T3）， and immediately after the end of surgery （T4）； the changes in liver function parameters after surgery； the incidence rate of adverse reactions. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups， and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups； the analysis of variance with repeated measures was used for comparison between multiple time points. ResultsCompared with the non-CLCVP group， the CLCVP group had significantly lower intraoperative blood loss and intraoperative fluid infusion volume （t=5.408 and 7.220， both P<0.05）， while there were no significant differences between the two groups in time of operation， anesthesia time， extubation time， resuscitation time and intraoperative urine volume （all P>0.05）. Compared with the data at T0， both groups had significant reductions in mean arterial pressure， heart rate， and central venous pressure during surgery （all P<0.05）， and compared with the non-CLCVP group， the CLCVP group had significantly lower mean arterial pressure and central venous pressure （P<0.05） and a significantly higher heart rate （P<0.05） at T2 and T3. Compared with the data at T0， both groups had a significant reduction in Ca-jvDO₂ at T2‍ ‍—‍ ‍T4 time points （all P<0.05）， while there was no significant difference in Ca-jvDO₂ between the two groups at each time point （all P>0.05）. Compared with the data at T0， the CLCVP group had a significant reduction in rSO₂ at T2‍ ‍—‍ ‍T4 time points （all P<0.05）， and the CLCVP group had a significantly lower level of rSO₂ than the non-CLCVP group at T2‍ ‍—‍ ‍T3 time points （both P<0.05）； there were no significant changes in CERO₂ and Djv-aBL in either group at each time point （all P>0.05）. At 3 and 7 days after surgery， both groups had significant increases in the liver function parameters of aspartate aminotransferase （AST）， alanine aminotransferase （ALT）， and total bilirubin （TBil） （all P<0.05）， and the CLCVP group had significantly lower levels of AST and ALT than the non-CLCVP group （all P<0.05）； there was no significant difference in TBil between the two groups at each time point （all P>0.05）. There was no significant difference in the incidence rate of perioperative complications between the two groups （χ²=0.729， P=0.394）. ConclusionThe application of the nitroglycerin CLCVP technique in laparoscopic hepatectomy for liver cancer can reduce the amount of intraoperative blood loss in patients， but it is necessary to further enhance the monitoring of cerebral blood oxygen saturation during surgery， so as to reduce the risk of neurological complications as much as possible.
