6-Thioguanine(6-TG)is an antineoplastic agent used in treatment of acute leukemia.However,significant interindividual variability in dosing regimens and frequent clinical manifestations of hepatotoxicity and myelosuppression as adverse effects have affected its therapeutic efficacy.Consequently,the development of rapid analytical methods for 6-TG in clinical samples,enabling continuous therapeutic drug monitoring of plasma concentrations,holds substantial significance in optimizing dosage regimens,mitigating adverse reactions,and investigating drug metabolism mechanisms.In this study,multi-tipped gold nanostars(AuNSs)were prepared.With bis-(p-sulfonylphenyl)phenylphosphine molecule as the protecting agent and internal standard molecule,the AuNSs were assembled onto a highly sensitive surface-enhanced Raman(SERS)substrate for developing a ratio-based SERS quantitative analysis method for 6-TG in serum.The AuNSs containing multiple tips and gaps exhibited strong local surface plasmon resonance effect and SERS activity,ensuring the sensitivity of the analytical method.Furthermore,the introduction of internal standard molecules could improve the reproducibility,which guaranteed this method suitable for rapid analysis of drug molecules in complex samples.Quantitative analysis of 6-TG was achieved with linear detetion range of 1.0×10?4-1.0 mmol/L.In the spiked recovery experiments of serum,the RSD was less than 5.32%,and the recoveries were 94%-104%,which proved that this method could be used for rapid quantitative determination of 6-TG in serum.This method provided a powerful tool for studying drug pharmacokinetics,which could promote the optimization of the usage methods of anti-cancer drugs,and it was expected to further enhance the clinical efficacy and safety of 6-TG,enabling it to achieve the best therapeutic effect.

Forensic medicine has been designated as a first-level discipline,presenting new opportunities and challenges for the development of forensic medicine.Since the 1980s,the establishment of foren-sic medicine discipline and the cultivation of high-level forensic talents have become hot topics in the development of forensic medicine in China.Since the 13th Five-Year Plan,the forensic team of Shanxi Medical University has been aiming at the forefront,proposing the development goals of"Five First-class"and the discipline development path"Six Major Achievements".It has selected benchmark disci-plines,identified gaps in disciplinary development,unified thoughts,formulated completion timelines,concentrated superior resources,assigned tasks to individuals,and created an"Organized Fill-in-the-Blank Format"forensic medicine discipline construction model with the characteristics of the new era.The construction model of forensic medicine has achieved good results in the goals,discipline frame-work,scientific research,talent cultivation,discipline team and platform construction,forming a rela-tively complete discipline construction and management system,and accumulating valuable experience for the construction of first-level discipline and high-level talent cultivation of forensic medicine.

OBJECTIVE: This study reports the first imported case of Lassa fever (LF) in China. Laboratory detection and molecular epidemiological analysis of the Lassa virus (LASV) from this case offer valuable insights for the prevention and control of LF. METHODS: Samples of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), blood, urine, saliva, and environmental materials were collected from the patient and their close contacts for LASV nucleotide detection. Whole-genome sequencing was performed on positive samples to analyze the genetic characteristics of the virus. RESULTS: LASV was detected in the patient's CSF, blood, and urine, while all samples from close contacts and the environment tested negative. The virus belongs to the lineage IV strain and shares the highest homology with strains from Sierra Leone. The variability in the glycoprotein complex (GPC) among different strains ranged from 3.9% to 15.1%, higher than previously reported for the seven known lineages. Amino acid mutation analysis revealed multiple mutations within the GPC immunogenic epitopes, increasing strain diversity and potentially impacting immune response. CONCLUSION The case was confirmed through nucleotide detection, with no evidence of secondary transmission or viral spread. The LASV strain identified belongs to lineage IV, with broader GPC variability than previously reported. Mutations in the immune-related sites of GPC may affect immune responses, necessitating heightened vigilance regarding the virus.

Acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fracture (ASOTLF) can lead to chronic low back pain, kyphosis deformity, pulmonary dysfunction, loss of mobility, and even life-threatening complications. Vertebral augmentation is currently the mainstream treatment method for this condition. In 2019, the Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma and the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association collaboratively led the development of Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation for acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures. Six years later, with advances in clinical diagnosis and treatment techniques as well as accumulating evidence in related fields, the 2019 guideline requires updating. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, the Spinal Health Professional Committee of China Human Health Science and Technology Promotion Association, and the Minimally Invasive Orthopedics Professional Committee of Shaanxi Medical Doctor Association have organized experts in the field to develop the Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation of acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures ( version 2025) , based on the latest evidence-based medical researches. This guideline incorporates 3 recommendations retained from the 2019 version with updated strength of evidence, along with 12 new recommendations. It provides recommendations from six aspects of diagnosis, pain management, treatment option selection, prevention of postoperative complications, anti-osteoporosis therapy, and postoperative rehabilitation, aiming to provide a reference for standard treatment of vertebral augmentation for ASOTLF in hospitals at all levels.

Objective:To explore the safety, economic benefits, and clinical application effect of the new practical patent open window central venous catheter combination dressing (Patent No.ZL 202121652858.8).Methods:From October 2022 to October 2023, a randomized controlled trial was conducted. A total of 120 tumor patients in Yunnan Cancer Hospital with indwelling central venous catheters who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were randomly divided into three groups at a ratio of 1∶1∶1 with random digit table, with 40 patients in each group: control group 1, control group 2, and the experimental group. In control group 1, Smith & Nephew IV 3000 dressing was used, in control group 2, 3M transparent dressing was used; and in the experimental group, the self - developed fenestrated central venous catheter combined dressing by the researchers was used for catheter maintenance. The skin surface bacterial colonization, the occurrence of medical adhesive-related skin injuries, catheter maintenance time, and maintenance costs were compared among the three groups.Results:In control group 1, there were 21 males and 19 females, with an average age of (51.53 ± 12.01) years. In control group 2, there were 22 males and 18 females, with an average age of (54.00 ± 11.03) years. In the experimental group, there were 19 males and 21 females, with an average age of (53.60 ± 9.41) years. During the 72 - hour observation period, 1, 3, and 2 cases of bacterial colonization occurred in control group 1, control group 2, and the experimental group respectively, and there was no significant difference among the three groups ( χ2 = 1.10, P = 0.577). No medical adhesive - related skin injury occurred in the experimental group, and there was a significant difference compared with the 4 cases in control group 2 ( χ2 = 4.21, P = 0.040). The average catheter maintenance time and maintenance cost in the experimental group were (15.20 ± 1.56) minutes and (8.11 ± 1.35) yuan respectively. Compared with (21.05 ± 3.31) minutes and (13.16 ± 1.03) yuan in control group 1, the differences were statistically significant ( t = 5.85, 5.05, both P<0.001). Compared with (21.08 ± 3.00) minutes and (15.17 ± 1.63) yuan in control group 2, the differences were also statistically significant ( t = 5.88, 7.06, both P<0.001). Conclusions:The open-window central venous catheter combination dressing designed in this study can effectively reduce the incidence of medical adhesive-related skin injury, and also has a better role in saving maintenance time and reducing maintenance costs, especially for patients who need repeated dressing changes at the puncture point for treatment with the advantages of, convenience, economy, speed, firm fixation and safety.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective:To analyze clinical characteristics and prognosis of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia(B-ALL)patients with IKZF1 deletion.Methods:72 patients with B-ALL admitted to our hospital from April 2020 to January 2023 were selected,IKZF1 deletion were detected,and clinical characteristics and prognosis were analyzed.Results:Among the 72 patients,a total of 32 patients(44.4％)were identified with IKZF1 deletions(IKZF1+).There was no statistically significant difference in basic clinical data between patients with normal IKZF1(IKZF1-)and those with IKZF1+(P＞0.05).The proportion of patients with IKZF1+in Ph+group was significantly higher than that in Ph-group(P＜0.05).The main types of IKZF1+were exon 1-8 deletion(34.4％)and exon 4-7 deletion(31.2％).The median OS and PFS of IKZF1-patients were significantly longer than those of IKZF1+patients(OS:26.0 months vs 16.0 months,x2=23.094,P＜0.05;PFS:26.0 months vs 16.0 months,x2=11.150,P＜0.05).Among IKZF1+patients,the median OS of patients who received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT)was significantly longer than that of patients who did not receive allo-HSCT(no reached vs 15.0 months,x2=5.685,P＜0.05).Conclusion:IKZF1 deletion is a risk factor affecting the prognosis of B-ALL patients.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of circulating free DNA(cfDNA)combined with interleukin 10(IL-10)in predicting central nervous system infiltration(CNSI)in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL).Methods:The clinical data of 63 patients with DLBCL in our hospital from May 2021 to April 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.The 63 patients were divided into CNSI group(15 cases)and non-CNSI group(48 cases)base on whether CNSI occurred.The age,sex,Ann Arbor stage,ECOG score,IPI risk,CNS-IPI risk,number of extranodal sites involved,bone marrow involvement,hypertrophic disease,B symptoms,source cells,glucose quantification,Pandy test,cerebrospinal fluid(CSF)chlorine,CSF nucleated cell count,CSF protein,peripheral blood cfDNA,and IL-10 status were compared between the two groups.The correlation between cfDNA,IL-10 in peripheral blood and CSF protein was analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the predictive value of peripheral blood cfDNA and IL-10 on secondary CNSI in DLBCL patients.The last follow-up was on November 30,2023.Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the time of secondary CNSI in the non-CNSI group.Results:The IPI risk,CNS-IPI risk,number of extranodal sites involved,and CSF protein in the CNSI group were significantly higher than those in the non-CNSI group(all P＜0.05).The levels of cfDNA and IL-10 in peripheral blood of CNSI group were significantly higher than those of non-CNSI group(both P＜0.01).cfDNA and IL-10 in peripheral blood were both positively correlated with CSF protein(r=0.402 4,0.315 1).ROC curve analysis showed that peripheral blood cfDNA and IL-10 had certain predictive value for CNSI,and the area under the curve(AUC)was 0.829 and 0.742,respectively.The AUC of the combined detection was 0.910,with a sensitivity of 80.00％and a specificity of 93.70％.The diagnostic efficacy was significantly higher than that of the two prediction values alone.The median follow-up time was 20(6-31)months.Non-CNSI patients were grouped based on peripheral blood cfDNA combined with IL-10 positive or negative pairs.The time of secondary CNSI in positive group was significantly shorter than that in negative group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:cfDNA and IL-10 in peripheral blood of DLBCL patients with CNSI are significantly increased,and the combined detection of cfDNA and IL-10 has good predictive value for CNSI.
