ObjectiveTo develop and validate a nomogram based on the albumin-bilirubin （ALBI） score for predicting the risk of severe perioperative complications in patients undergoing hepatectomy for hepatolithiasis. MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 163 hepatolithiasis patients who underwent hepatectomy. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify independent risk factors for severe perioperative complications. A nomogram prediction model was constructed and its performance was evaluated. ResultsAmong the 163 patients， 66 and 97 were classified into the low-grade and high-grade ALBI groups， respectively. Significant intergroup differences were observed in gender， total bilirubin， albumin levels， and the incidence of severe complications （P0.05）. Severe complications occurred in 40 patients. Independent risk factors included age 60 years （OR=5.49， P0.001）， high-grade ALBI （OR=8.30， P0.001）， history of biliary surgery （OR=2.60， P=0.035）， hepatectomy （segmentectomy）≥3 （OR=2.75， P=0.028）， and open surgical approach （OR=4.00， P=0.009）. A nomogram for predicting severe perioperative complications was successfully established. Internal validation showed that the model had an area under the ROC curve （AUC） of 0.865， which outperformed traditional single predictors. The calibration curve closely aligned with the ideal curve， with a mean absolute error （MAE） of 0.027. Decision curve analysis （DCA） demonstrated a net clinical benefit when the threshold probability exceeded 10%， superior to that of traditional predictors. ConclusionThe ALBI score-based nomogram is successfully developed and validated to predict the risk of severe perioperative complications in hepatolithiasis patients undergoing hepatectomy. The model demonstrated favorable predictive performance and high clinical utility， serving as an effective tool for both preoperative risk assessment and postoperative risk stratification.

Viruses,as important biological agents influencing human health and social development,have played a key role in the spread of epidemics and the evolution of diseases since ancient times.Upon infecting hosts,viruses often trigger a series of com-plex responses,including innate and adaptive immunity,inflammatory responses and pathological damage.Despite advances in mod-ern antiviral drugs development,chemical drugs typically rely on a single molecular target within the viral life cycle,making them highly susceptible to the emergence of drug resistance and the induction of systemic toxic side effects.In contrast,traditional Chi-nese medicines(TCMs),posing the distinctive advantage of multi-component,multi-target,and multi-pathway,have exerted a pivotal role in viral prevention and viral treatment.In recent years,fresh herbs have gained increasing attention for their ability to preserve intact bioactive components.Fresh herb-derived nanovesicles possess excellent biocompatibility,targeting and cross-species regula-tory capabilities.These fresh herb-derived nanovesicles can effectively encapsulate and deliver a variety of antiviral components,demonstrating significant potential in antiviral immunomodulation,inflammation control and viral-induced pathologies.This review systematically sorts out the mechanisms of viral infection,and summarizes the advantages of fresh herbs,and the application pros-pects of fresh herb-derived nanovesicles in antiviral therapy.Furthermore,it focuses on summarizing the research progress of fresh herb-derived nanovesicles in the field of antiviral therapy,with the aim of providing insights and references for the development of fresh herb-derived nanovesicles-based antiviral strategies,as well as offering novel approaches and perspectives for the clinical treat-ment of viral diseases.

Objective To investigate the relationship between quantitative parameters of CT perfu-sion imaging in regions of diffusion abnormalities and disease type,severity and prognosis in eld-erly patients with acute ischemic stroke(AIS).Methods A total of 293 elderly AIS patients diag-nosed and treated in our hospital from August 2021 to August 2024 were retrospectively recruited in this study.According to the TOAST(Trial of ORG 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment)classifi-cation,they were classified into large artery atherosclerosis(LAA)type(111 cases),cardioembo-lism(CE)type(100 cases),and small artery occlusion(SAO)type(82 cases).Based on their NIHSS score at admission,they were also divided into mild,moderate and severe stroke groups(103,90 and 100 cases,respectively).Depending on modified Rankin scale(mRS)score,they were divided into good(98 cases)and poor prognosis groups(95 cases).The relationships of quantita-tive parameters of CT perfusion imaging in regions of diffusion abnormalities(cerebral blood flow,cerebral blood volume,mean transit time and peak time)with disease type,severity and prognosis were analyzed,and ROC curve was drawn to analyze the predictive value for patient prognosis.Results There were significant differences among the patients with LAA,SAO and CE types in terms of cerebral blood flow,cerebral blood volume,mean transit time and peak time(P＜0.01).The patients of CE type had obviously lower cerebral blood flow and cerebral blood volume,and longer mean transit time and peak time than those of LAA and SAO types(P＜0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that NIHSS score was negatively correlated with cere-bral blood flow and cerebral blood volume(r=-0.446,P=0.012;r=-0.439,P=0.015),and positively with mean transit time and peak time(r=0.512,P=0.004;r=0.478,P=0.008).Lower cerebral blood flow and cerebral blood volume,and longer mean transit time and peak time were observed in the poor prognosis group than the good prognosis group(P＜0.01).The AUC value of cerebral blood flow,cerebral blood volume,mean transit time,and peak time in predicting prog-nosis was 0.751,0.764,0.733,and 0.724,respectively,and the value of the four indicators com-bined together was 0.902,which was better than that of each indicator alone(P＜0.05).Conclu-sion There exist significant differences in quantitative parameters of CT perfusion imaging in re-gions of diffusion abnormalities in elderly AIS patients with different TOAST types,disease se-verity and prognosis.These parameters can be used as important reference indicators in assess-ment of disease type,severity and prognosis of elderly AIS patients.

Objective:To construct a failure mode and effects analysis(FMEA)evaluation model for medical devices to manage devices,so as to enhance management efficiency for medical devices.Methods:The FMEA was adopted to construct FMEA evaluation model for medical devices,so as to conduct comprehensive lifecycle management for medical devices.The process of management for equipment was optimized,and the operational risk of medical devices was reduced through failure mode(FM)analysis and the construction of management system for equipment.A total of 47 medical devices in clinical use of The First People's Hospital of Neijiang from January to December 2023 were included.In them,23 devices received conventional management mode during January and June 2023,and 24 devices received FMEA evaluation model(model management mode)during July and December 2023.For each group,2,000 patients'medical records were selected.The control effectiveness of infectious indicators,effect of cleaning and disinfection,and quality scores of infectious control for medical devices were compared between different management modes.A self-designed questionnaire was adopted to investigate the recognition scores of engineers who used and managed devices,operators,physicians,and department administrators for two kinds of management modes.Results:In 2,000 patients'medical records,who adopted model management mode,the infection rate of patients,and infection rate of aseptic surgical incision were respectively 0.15%and 0.05%,both were significantly lower than those in the conventional management mode(x2=5.420,8.358,P<0.05).The cleaning rate,and disinfection qualification rate of 24 medical devices,which adopted model management mode,were respectively 83.33%and 87.50%,all of which were significantly higher than these of conventional management mode(x2=8.080,6.741,P<0.05).The scores of standardized operation,rational use,disinfection and cleaning,and emergency intervention for medical devices in adopting model management mode were significantly higher than those in adopting conventional management mode(t=14.435,16.014,13.049,12.537,P<0.05).The recognition scores of engineers who used and managed devices,operators,physicians,and department administrators for adopting model management mode were significantly higher than those for adopting conventional management mode,and the differences were significant(t=12.219,12.147,17.437,13.420,P<0.05).Conclusion:The FMEA evaluation model for medical devices can real-time monitor the entire management process for medical devices,and reduce clinical infections,and ensure normal operation of devices,and improve clinically operational quality of them,and increase satisfaction of staffs in clinical departments.

AIM:This study aims to investigate the protective effect of α-lipoic acid(α-LA)against alcohol-induced damage in H9c2 rat cardiomyocytes and to explore the underlying mechanisms.METHODS:An alcohol-induced injury model of H9c2 cells was established,and the cells were divided into 4 groups:control group,alcohol group,α-LA group,and alcohol+α-LA group.Additionally,H9c2 cells overexpressing aldehyde dehydrogenase 2(ALDH2)were cre-ated and further divided into 6 groups:normal control group,normal cells treated with alcohol group,normal cells treated with alcohol+α-LA group,ALDH2 overexpression group,ALDH2-overexpressing cardiomyocytes treated with alcohol group,and ALDH2-overexpressing cardiomyocytes treated with alcohol+α-LA group.Cell proliferation was assessed using 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine(EdU)staining.Reactive oxygen species(ROS)levels in each group were measured using di-hydroethidium(DHE)staining,while the expression levels of ALDH2,silent information regulator 1(SIRT1),heme oxy-genase 1(HO1)and P53 proteins were detected by Western blot analysis.RESULTS:(1)Alcohol exposure resulted in a decrease in the proliferation of H9c2 cells and an increase in intracellular oxidative stress,evidenced by elevated ROS levels and decreased expression of related proteins(ALDH2,SIRT1 and HO1).However,α-LA treatment significantly mitigated the decline in cell proliferation and the oxidative stress induced by alcohol.(2)Alcohol may induce cellular se-nescence,as demonstrated by the up-regulation of P53 expression,which were reversed by α-LA.(3)The H9c2 cells with high ALDH2 expression markedly improved the cell proliferation in the presence of alcohol,suppressed the ROS pro-duction,prevented the down-regulation of oxidative stress-related proteins(ALDH2,SIRT1 and HO1),and reversed the enhanced expression of the senescence marker P53.CONCLUSION:Treatment with α-LA may counteract oxidative stress and attenuate cellular senescence by activating ALDH2,thereby protecting cardiomyocytes from alcohol-induced damage.

Objective To investigate the dynamic balance ability of healthy young adults under different obstacle-crossing strategies,thereby providing a theoretical basis for fall prevention training and public facility design.Methods Twenty healthy young adults participated in the experiment using F-scan plantar pressure analysis insoles.The subjects were required to cross three obstacles with different combinations of height and width.With their dominant foot serving as the leading foot and the non-dominant foot as the trailing foot,the subjects performed both lateral and forward crossing maneuvers,and their plantar pressure data were collected.Results Different crossing strategies significantly affected the adjustment speed of the leading foot's center of pressure in the medial-lateral direction(COP_ML),the area of the 95％confidence circle,ML amplitude,and anterior-posterior(AP)amplitude(P＜0.05).These strategies also significantly impacted the trailing foot's COP_ML adjustment speed,the area of the 95％confidence circle,and the range between the maximum and minimum swings(P＜0.05).For the leading foot,during lateral and forward crossing,the balance parameter values under different heights and widths were statistically significant(P＜0.05),increasing as the height and width increased.For the trailing foot,during forward crossing,the balance parameter values under different heights were statistically significant(P＜0.05),increasing with height,while during lateral crossing,the differences in balance parameter values were not statistically significant(P＞0.05).Conclusions Healthy young adults demonstrate better balance ability with the leading foot during forward obstacle crossing,which aligns with the movement habits of the dominant foot and daily activity patterns.The trailing foot exhibits a more stable plantar pressure distribution during lateral obstacle crossing,likely due to a larger contact area and more even center of gravity distribution.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of laparoscopic versus open hepatectomy for intrahepatic bile duct stones based on propensity score matching. Methods:This study used a case-control design to retrospectively analyze 163 patients with intrahepatic bile duct stones who were treated at The Second Hospital of Anhui Medical University between February 2014 and February 2024. Based on the surgical approach, the patients were divided into two groups: the laparoscopic hepatectomy group ( n = 72) and the open hepatectomy group ( n = 91). Using 1:1 PSM, two groups with similar baseline clinical characteristics were created to compare perioperative outcomes, stone residual rates, and recurrence rates. Results:After PSM, a total of 52 matched pairs were successfully obtained. Compared with the laparoscopic hepatectomy group, the open hepatectomy group demonstrated a significantly shorter operative time [233.00 (180.00, 315.00) minutes vs. 313.00 (222.25, 405.75) minutes, Z = 3.41, P = 0.01]. However, no statistically significant differences were observed between the open hepatectomy and laparoscopic hepatectomy groups in terms of pre- to postoperative hemoglobin change [(22.69 ± 14.27) g/L vs. (20.63 ± 14.36) g/L, t = 0.73, P = 0.465], postoperative bile leakage [5.77% (3/52) vs. 11.54% (6/52), χ2 = 1.10, P = 0.25], hypoalbuminemia [82.69% (43/52) vs. 84.62% (44/52), χ2 = 0.07, P = 0.791], pulmonary infection [28.85% (15/52) vs. 40.38% (21/52), χ2 = 1.53, P = 0.216], surgical site infection [5.77% (3/52) vs. 1.92% (1/52), χ2 = 1.04, P = 0.308], intra-abdominal infection [1.92% (1/52) vs. 5.77% (3/52), χ2 = 1.04, P = 0.308], postoperative drainage tube removal time [8.00 (6.00, 11.75) days vs. 8.00 (6.25, 10.00) days, t = 0.05, P = 0.958], postoperative hospital stay [8.00 (9.00, 15.00) days vs. 9.00 (7.00, 12.50) days, t = -1.22, P = 0.222], residual stone rate [11.54% (6/52) vs. 9.62% (5/52), χ2 = 0.10, P = 0.750], and stone recurrence rate [13.46% (7/52) vs. 3.85% (2/52), χ2 = 3.04, P = 0.081]. All differences were statistically significant (all P > 0.05). Conclusions:Laparoscopic hepatectomy and open hepatectomy have comparable efficacy in the treatment of intrahepatic bile duct stones.
