Smart healthcare plays an important role in easing the strain on medical resources and improving the continuity of chronic disease management. This study analysed the iatrogenic risks from the intrinsic attributes and the external environment of smart healthcare, including doctor-patient conflict risk, technical operation risk, information leakage risk, humanistic absence risk, legal risk, regulatory risk and ethical risk. Based on the " structure process result" model, suggestions were proposed to optimize the construction of a smart healthcare platform for chronic diseases, improve the legal system and industry standards, strengthen talent cultivation and capacity building, establish an integrated regulatory system, and regularly evaluate the effectiveness of chronic disease management. These suggestions provided references for creating a healthy, orderly, and safe smart healthcare environment for chronic disease patients.

Objectives:To evaluate the incidence of neurological complications following left ventricular assist device(LVAD)implantation and to investigate related risk factors.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 151 patients who underwent LVAD implantation at Fuwai Hospital between June 2017 and September 2024.Clinical characteristics and postoperative survival outcomes were compared between patients with and without neurological complications.Results:Neurological complications occurred in 21 patients(13.9%)postoperatively,15 cases were ischemic strokes,5 cases were symptomatic intracranial hemorrhages or subarachnoid hemorrhages,and 1 case was transient ischemic attack(TIA).The total incidence of neurological complications was 0.08 events per person-year(EPPY),ischemic stroke was 0.06 EPPY and hemorrhagic stroke was 0.02 EPPY.Compared with patients without neurological complications,patients with neurological complications had a higher proportion of preoperative aortic regurgitation and tricuspid regurgitation,lower triglyceride levels,a lower rate of concurrent left atrial appendage resection and a higher rate of concurrent aortic valve replacement surgery.Multivariate cox regression analysis revealed that higher preoperative triglyceride levels(HR=0.21,95%CI:0.08-0.56,P=0.002)were associated with neurological complications.The median follow-up time was 508.0(186.5,931.5)days,12 out of 15 cases of ischemic stroke experienced no long-term sequelae,while 3 patients had varying degrees of residual deficits.All 5 patients with hemorrhagic stroke died,with 2 deaths directly attributed to hemorrhage.Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis indicated that patients with neurological complications had a significantly lower survival rate(log-rank P=0.005).Conclusions:Neurological complications after LVAD implantation are predominantly ischemic strokes.Although less frequent,hemorrhagic strokes are associated with worse outcomes.Higher preoperative triglyceride levels is associated with neurological complications.

Objective To detect the adverse drug reaction(ADR)signals of tetracycline representative drugs(tetracy-cline,minocycline,tigecycline,and doxycycline)in children,and to provide reference for safe clinical medication.Methods A total of 34 quarters of ADE report data related to four tetracyclines from the first quarter of 2015 to the second quarter of 2023 in the US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System(FAERS)were collected and grouped according to the age of minor children.The re-port odds ratio(ROR)method and the comprehensive standard method(MHRA)were used for signal mining.Results A to-tal of 367 461 reports were retrieved from the FAERS database for all minor children under 18 years old.There were 43,583,40 and 501 reports related to tetracycline,minocycline,tigecycline and doxycycline,respectively.A total of 280 ADE signals were de-tected after deduplication,involving 22 system organ classifications.Tetracycline was concentrated in the gastrointestinal system and various nervous systems.Minocycline was mainly in the hepatobiliary system,endocrine system,and subcutaneous and subcu-taneous tissue diseases.Tigecycline was involved in the gastrointestinal system,systemic diseases and various reactive diseases at the administration site,Doxycycline was concentrated in the gastrointestinal system,mental illness,skin and subcutaneous tissue diseases.And it was found that psychosis was not involved in adverse reactions.Adverse reactions not included in the instructions include blindness and papilledema caused by minocycline,hypertriglyceridemia and acute pancreatitis caused by tigecycline,Bell's palsy,growth retardation,blindness,depression,suicidal thoughts and anxiety caused by doxycycline.Conclusions In different age groups of minor children,there are some differences in ADR among the four tetracycline drugs.ADR should be strictly monitored when using tetracycline drugs in all children.While paying attention to the effects of these drugs on children's teeth and bones,other ADE should also be vigilant,such as Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction,acne,thyroiditis,headache.The newly discovered involvement of systemic organs and AE can provide a reference for improving the adverse reactions of tetracycline-representative drugs to ensure the treatment safety of patients.

BACKGROUND:Intervertebral disc degeneration is clinically considered to be the main cause of low back pain,but due to the unclear pathogenesis of intervertebral disc degeneration,there is still a lack of effective means to delay the progression of the disease.Single-cell RNA sequencing technology can amplify and sequence mRNA at the single-cell level,reveal the gene expression intensity of a single cell,discover different cell subsets in tissues according to the heterogeneity of cells,study the pathogenesis of intervertebral disc degeneration at the molecular level,and provide a new theoretical basis for its early diagnosis and treatment. OBJECTIVE:To introduce the basic principles of single-cell RNA sequencing technology and review the research progress of single-cell RNA sequencing technology in intervertebral disc degeneration in recent years. METHODS:A computer was used to search PubMed,Web of Science,CNKI and WanFang databases for the literature published from 2012 to 2022.Key words were"single-cell RNA sequencing,intervertebral disc degeneration,sequencing Technology"in Chinese and English.Duplicate,poor-quality and irrelevant articles were excluded;a total of 70 articles were eventually included. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)We identified new cell subsets such as homeostatic chondrocytes,hypertrophy chondrocyte-like nucleus pulposus cells and fibrous nucleus pulposus cells,identified the marker genes and transcription factors of these cell subsets,and described the functions,differentiation paths and cell fate of these cell subsets during the development and progression of intervertebral disc degeneration,and proposed the concept of progenitor nucleus pulposus cells.A cell subpopulation with progenitor nucleus pulposus cells properties was identified and its effectiveness in treating intervertebral disc degeneration was verified in mice.(2)Fibro chondrocyte-like annulus fibrosus cells and annulus fibrosus stem cells with both cartilage and fiber properties were identified,and a new type of composite hydrogel was prepared by combining fibrous cartilage inducers silk fibroin and hyaluronic acid in vitro.Experiments in mice demonstrated that this hydrogel could repair both annulus fibrosus tissue and cartilage matrix,and was remarkably effective in the treatment of intervertebral disc degeneration.(3)Regulatory chondrocytes were found in endplate cartilage.Two distinct fates in the progression of intervertebral disc degeneration were analyzed and the differential genes in the two fates were identified.Intercellular communication analysis indicated that regulatory chondrocytes interact with endothelial cells to promote angiogenesis.(4)Immune cells such as macrophages,T cells,myeloid progenitor cells and neutrophils were identified in the degenerated intervertebral disc tissues,demonstrating the existence of immune response during intervertebral disc degeneration.It was found that apolipoprotein induced the polarization of macrophages M1 and M2 subtypes,and this polarization process affected the activity of progenitor nucleus pulposus cells by amplifying the inflammatory response through the MIF signaling pathway.

BACKGROUND:Establishing a nomogram prediction model for postoperative pulmonary infection in hip fractures and taking early intervention measures is crucial for improving patients'quality of life and reducing medical costs. OBJECTIVE:To construct a nomogram risk prediction model of postoperative pulmonary infection in elderly patients with hip fracture,and provide theoretical basis for feasible prevention and early intervention. METHODS:Case data of 305 elderly patients with hip fractures who underwent surgical treatment at Wuxi Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine between January and October 2020(training set)were retrospectively analyzed.Using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis and Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test,receiver operating characteristic curve was utilized to analyze the diagnostic predictive efficacy of independent risk factors and joint models for postoperative pulmonary infections.Tools glmnet,pROC,and rms in R Studio software were applied to construct a nomogram model for predicting the risk of postoperative pulmonary infection in elderly patients with hip fractures,and calibration curves were further drawn to verify the predictive ability of the nomogram model.Receiver operating characteristic curves,calibration curves,and decision curves were analyzed for 133 elderly patients with hip fractures(validation set)receiving surgery at the same hospital from November 2022 to March 2023 to further predict the predictive ability of the nomogram model. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The postoperative pulmonary infection rate in elderly patients with hip fractures in this group was 9.18%(28/305).(2)Single factor and multivariate analysis,as well as forest plots,showed that preoperative hospitalization days,leukocyte count,hypersensitive C-reactive protein,and serum sodium levels were independent risk factors(P<0.05).The Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test showed good fit(χ2=4.57,P=0.803).Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was conducted on the independent risk factors and their joint models mentioned above,and the differentiation of each independent risk factor and joint model was good,with statistical significance(P<0.05).(3)The graphical calibration method,C-index,and decision curve were used to validate the nomogram prediction model.The predicted calibration curve was located between the standard curve and the acceptable line,and the predicted risk of the nomogram model was consistent with the actual risk.(4)The validation set used receiver operating characteristic curve,graphic calibration method,and decision curve to validate the prediction model.The results showed good consistency with clinical practice,indicating that the model had a good fit.The nomogram risk prediction model constructed for postoperative pulmonary infection in elderly patients with hip fractures has good predictive performance.The use of the nomogram risk prediction model can screen high-risk populations and provide a theoretical basis for early intervention.

Objective:To study the feasibility of a modified pancreatogastric anastomosis in laparoscopic duodenum preserving pancreatic head resection (LDPPHR).Methods:The clinical data of 25 patients with benign or low-grade malignant tumors of pancreatic head undergoing LDPPHR at the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2019 to May 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including 7 males and 18 females, aged (44.9±6.2) years old. According to the methods of pancreatic digestive reconstruction, patients were divided into the observation group ( n=10), who underwent the modified pancreatogastric anastomosis, and the control group ( n=15) who underwent conventional pancreaticojejunal anastomosis and jejuno-jejunal anastomosis. The general data, intraoperative pancreatic digestive reconstruction time, maximum levels of amylase in abdominal drainage within three days postoperatively, postoperative complications, and hospital stay were compared between the groups. Results:All procedures were performed successfully. The intraoperative pancreatic digestive reconstruction time was shorter in the observation group [(27.8±2.4) min vs. (45.8±3.6) min, P=0.010]. The intraoperative blood loss were comparable between the groups [(140.5±14.8) ml vs. (145.2±9.7) ml, P=0.843]. The maximum level of amylase in abdominal drainage within three days postoperatively was lower in the observation group [(809.1±185.5) U/L vs. (1 385.4±481.1) U/L, P=0.031]. No grade C pancreatic fistula or postoperative hemorrhage occurred in either group, and the incidence of grade B pancreatic fistula was lower in the observation group [20.0% (2/10) vs. 60.0% (9/15), P=0.048], with a shorter postoperative hospital stay [(7.9±1.3) d vs. (10.3±2.7) d, P=0.017]. No decrease of life quality or reoperation due to pancreatic fistula, hemorrhage or digestive tract malfunction occurred in either group within a median follow-up of 15.6 months. Conclusion:In LDPPHR, the modified pancreatogastric anastomosis could help shorten the pancreatic digestive reconstruction and lower the risk of postoperative pancreatic fistula.

Objective:To investigate the differential expression of microRNA (miR)-214-3p in plasma exosomes in different types of uveal melanoma (UM) and evaluate whether miR-214-3p is a potential molecular biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of UM.Methods:Twenty-five UM in situ patients who received the enucleation of eyeball were enrolled at Beijing Tongren Hospital from December 2015 to October 2019, including 10 with epithelioid cell melanoma and 10 with spindle cell melanoma as well as 5 metastatic UM patients (1 with spindle cell-like melanoma and 4 with epithelioid cell-like melanoma) and 10 healthy subjects were enrolled during the same period.Blood sample was collected from all the subjects for the isolation of plasma exosomes.The morphology of exosomes was examined under the electron microscope.The exsomal marker proteins were identified by Western blot.The expression level of miR-214-3p in plasma exosomes was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.The differential expression of miR-214-3p among different types of UM patients and healthy controls was compared.The diagnostic and classification performance of exosomal miR-214-3p was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curve.Written informed consent was obtained from each subject prior to entering the study cohort.This study protocol was approved by an Ethics Committee of Capital Medical Univeristy (No.TRECKY2018-056).Results:The isolated exosomes were hemispherical in shape with a concavity on one side.The diameter of the exosomes was about 100 nm and the particle diameter of vesicles from samples was (82.0±2.7) nm.TSG101 protein was detectable and Calnexin protein was not found in the exosomes.The relative expression levels of plasma exosomal miR-214-3p in healthy control group, in situ UM group and metastatic UM group were 0.86(0.57, 1.49), 0.24(0.10, 0.67), and 0.43(0.23, 0.56), respectively.The miR-214-3p relative expression level in plasma exosomes of in situ UM patients and metastatic UM patients was significantly lower than that of healthy controls, and the differences were statistically significant ( Z=2.62, P<0.01; Z=2.08, P<0.05). The relative expression levels of exosomal miR-214-3p in spindle cell-like UM group and epithelioid cell-like UM group were 0.11(0.07, 0.64) and 0.46(0.14, 0.91), respectively, and no significant difference was found in the expression level of plasma exosomal miR-214-3p among different types of UM (all at P>0.05). The area under the curve of plasma exosomal miR-214-3p for UM diagnosis was 0.795. Conclusions:Plasma exosomal miR-214-3p level is significantly reduced in both in situ UM patients and metastatic UM patients.Plasma exosomal miR-214-3p is a new potential diagnostic biomarker for UM, but the exosomal miR-214-3p appears to not be able to distinguish the types of UM.
