Objective To investigate the peripheral blood cytokine levels in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI),and to analyze its correlation with Killip classification,N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide precursor(NT-proBNP),cardiac troponin I(cTnI),creatine kinase isoenzymes(CK-MB),and to provide a theoretical basis for assessing the severity and prognosis of the disease.Methods A total of 312 patients with AMI admitted to Minhang Hospital,Fudan University from Jul 2021 to Oct 2023 were enrolled as the case group,and 201 patients with unstable angina pectoris were selected as the control group.General clinical data of the subjects were collected,and the concentrations of cytokines(IL-5,IFN-α,IFN-γ,IL-10,IL-12p70,IL-17,IL-1β,IL-2,IL-4,IL-6,IL-8,and TNF-α)in peripheral blood were detected by multiplex bead-based flow cytometry.NT-proBNP,cTnI and CK-MB were measured by chemiluminescence methods.The levels of cytokines between the two groups were compared,and their correlations with Killip classification,NT-proBNP,cTnI and CK-MB were analyzed.The predictive efficacy of cytokines for AMI was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves.Results There were no significant differences in baseline data between the AMI group and the control group(P>0.05),with the exception of age.The levels of IL-6,IL-8 and TNF-α in the AMI group were higher than those in the control group(all P<0.01).The correlation analyses showed that IL-6 was positively correlated with Killip classification,NT-proBNP,cTnI and CK-MB(all P<0.01).ROC analyses showed that IL-6 levels had good predictive efficacy for AMI(AUC=0.882 9,P<0.01).Conclusion The expression of IL-6 was significantly increased in patients with AMI,and it was positively correlated with Killip classification,NT-proBNP,cTnI and CK-MB,suggesting that IL-6 may serve as a potential biomarker for assessing the severity of AMI.

Aim To explore the mechanism of Jiawei Shaofu Zhuyu decoction in antagonizing endometriosis fibrosis by regulating mitophagy.Methods After the animal model was constructed,the syndrome was evalu-ated by general condition,organ water content and ther-mal imaging.The curative effect was evaluated by the weight of ectopic focus and the degree of adhesion.The pathological changes were compared using HE stai-ning,transmission electron microscopy,Masson and Sir-ius red staining.The expression of PINK1 and Parkin was detected by immunohistochemistry.The expression of mRNA and protein was determined by qPCR and Western blot,and the level of serum ROS was detected by ELISA.Results The autonomic activity of model mice was weakened,the water content of organs rose,and the temperature of limbs and lower abdomen was reduced by thermal imaging.HE staining showed obvi-ous hyperplasia of ectopic epithelium and glands.Transmission electron microscopy showed mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum structure damage,and nor-mal autophagy structure disappeared.Masson and Siri-us red staining showed increased collagen deposition;immunohistochemistry showed decreased expression of PINK1 and Parkin in ectopic foci.qPCR and Western blot showed that the expression of PINK1,Parkin,Bec-lin1,LC3 mRNA and protein in ectopic foci of model mice decreased,the expression of p62 mRNA and pro-tein increased,and serum ROS increased.The syn-drome performance of model mice was improved after the intervention of Jiawei Shaofu Zhuyu decoction;the inflammatory infiltration of ectopic foci was relieved,the morphology of mitochondria and endoplasmic retic-ulum was restored,and normal autophagy structure ap-peared.The degree of collagen deposition and fibrosis was reduced;the mRNA and protein expression of PINK1,Parkin,Beclin1 and LC3 increased.The ex-pression of p62 mRNA and protein decreased,and the level of ROS decreased.Conclusions Jiawei Shaofu Zhuyu decoction can improve the fibrosis of ectopic le-sions in mice with endometriosis of cold-dampness sta-sis syndrome,which may be related to the regulation of mitophagy.

Objective:To explore the effect of Lactobacillus reuteri on testicular injury in mice exposed to neonicotinoid insec-ticides(NNI).Methods:Fifteen C57BL/6 male mice were randomly divided into control group(CTRI.group),exposure group(NNI group)and Lactobacillus intervention group(NNI-L group).The mice in CTRL group were given 0.02ml/g of 0.5％carboxym-ethyl cellulose sodium solution by gavage for 14 days.The mice in NNI group were given 0.02 ml/g of NNI mixture by gavage for 14 days.The mice in NNI-L group were given 0.02 ml/g of NNI mixture by gavage and 5 × 108cfu/ml of Lactobacillus reuteri powder so-lution for 14 days.Then,the histomorphology and function of testicle were evaluated by hematoxylin-eosin staining,immunofluores-cence staining and RNA sequencing.Results:Compared with CTRL group,the thickness of testicular seminiferous epithelium in the NNI group was significantly thinner.And the decline in the number of spermatogenic cells and sperm was observed.And the expression of spermatogonial stem cell marker UCHL1 was down-regulated which was significantly improved in NNI-L group compared with the NNI group.The abnormal expressions of hormone and sperm methylation related genes in testis of NNI group were detected by RNA sequen-cing,with significant down-regulation being found in NPFF and IGF2.While the expression of HSD3B8 was significantly up-regulated.The abnormal expression of these genes could be significantly improved after oral administration of Lactobacillus reuteri.Conclusion:Testicular spermatogenesis and endocrine function can be damaged by NNI exposure.And oral administration of Lactoba-cillus reuteri protects testis from the adverse effects of NNI toxicity.

Objective:To explore the value of ultrasound imaging characteristics combined with clinical indicators in assessing the prognosis of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted for patients who underwent pancreatic contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) from September 2017 to October 2023 at Peking Union Medical College Hospital and were diagnosed with PDAC based on pathological findings. Various parameters were recorded, including CA19-9 levels, tumor size, location, morphologic features, echogenicity, presence of internal cystic components, dilatation of the main pancreatic duct, peripheral vascular invasion, CEUS characteristics, presence or absence of liver metastasis, and treatment methods. In April 2024, patient survival information was obtained through telephone follow-up or review of medical records. Based on the results of the cox regression model analysis, a nomogram model of the risk of death was developed. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were applied to evaluate the predictive efficacy of the model. The calibration curves were plotted to evaluate the accuracy of the model, and clinical decision curves were used to evaluate the clinical benefit of the model.Results:This study included a total of 207 patients with PDAC. As of April 2024, 71 patients were alive and 136 died, with a median survival time of 14 months (95% CI: 12 -17). Multivariate analysis confirmed that the elevated CA19-9 ( HR=1.689, 95% CI: 1.102-2.588), tumor size >4 cm ( HR=1.641, 95% CI: 1.159-2.322), taller-than-wide shapes ( HR=1.450, 95% CI: 1.019-2.065), incomplete hypo-enhancement ( HR=1.618, 95% CI: 1.100-2.380), and liver metastasis ( HR=1.687, 95% CI: 1.175-2.423) were independent risk factors for survival in patients with PDAC. A nomogram model was further constructed for 6-month, 12-month and 3-year survival of patients with PDAC. The areas under the ROC curve were 0.679, 0.705 and 0.815, respectively. The calibration curves suggested that the model was more accurate, and the clinical decision curves showed that the model had a better clinical benefit. Conclusion:The combined use of ultrasound imaging characteristics and clinical indicators could effectively predict the prognosis of PDAC patients. Specifically, tumor size >4 cm, taller-than-wide shapes, incomplete hypo-enhancement, elevated CA19-9, and the presence of liver metastasis are correlated with poorer survival outcomes. The nomogram model constructed on the basis of these factors can be used to assess the survival of patients with PDAC.

Objective:To understand the epidemiological characteristics and changing trends of injury-related deaths in local residents in Qingdao from 2014 to 2023, and provide evidence for development of injury prevention and control measures.Methods:The incidence data on fatal injury in residents of Qingdao from 2014 to 2023 were used to describe the epidemiological characteristics of fatal injury by using fatal injury rate, standardized fatal injury rate, proportion, and death order. The average annual percentage change (AAPC) was used to describe the annual change in fatal injury rates, and the trend of fatal injury was analyzed.Results:From 2014 to 2023, a total of 23 533 residents died of injury in Qingdao, with a crude fatal injury rate of 28.74/100 000 and a standardized fatal injury rate of 27.64/100 000. The total fatal injury rate showed a downward trend (AAPC: -5.06%, P<0.05). The top three causes of fatal injury in the residents were road traffic accident (40.85%), suicide (15.80%), and accidental falls (12.92%). In terms of gender specific fatal injury cause, the top one in both men and women was road traffic accident injury. In terms of age specific fatal injury cause, the top one was road traffic accident in the all age groups, except age group 5-14 years with top cause of drowning. From 2014 to 2023, the fatal injury rates of road traffic accident, suicide, and accidental poisoning in the top five fatal injury causes showed a downward trend year by year (AAPC:-7.42%, -6.54%, -13.95%, P<0.05). Conclusions:The fatal injury rate showed a downward trend in the residents in Qingdao from 2014 to 2023. It is necessary to strengthen the prevention and control of road traffic accident injury, suicide, falls in the elderly, and drowning in adolescents.

Objective:To study the influencing factors of postpartum post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD)in pregnant women in the third trimester of pregnancy based on propensity score matching(PSM).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of 220 pregnant women in the third trimester who visited our hospital from October 2022 to October 2024,they were divided into PTSD group(n=52)and non-PTSD group(n=168)based on whether PTSD occurred.PSM was adopted to match the age,body mass index(BMI),educational level,average monthly income per capita,natural conception,premature birth,pregnancy complications,first delivery,insomnia,the progress of labor,parenting methods,infant health status and postpartum depression of the two groups at a 1∶1 ratio.After matching,Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of postpartum PTSD in pregnant women in the third trimester of pregnancy.Result:When comparing the educational level,natural conception,premature birth,pregnancy complications,progress of labor and postpartum depression of the two groups before matching,the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).When comparing the comparisons of educational level,natural conception,premature birth,pregnancy complications,progress of labor and postpartum depression of the two groups after matching,the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that junior high school education level or below,non-natural conception,premature birth,pregnancy complications,abnormal labor process and postpartum depression were risk factors for PTSD(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Based on PCM,it was found that low educational level,non-natural conception,premature birth,pregnancy complications,abnormal labor process and postpartum depression are risk factors for postpartum PTSD in pregnant women in the third trimester of pregnancy,and reasonable preventive interventions could be taken as early as possible in pregnant women with high risk of PTSD.
