Accurate prediction of drug-induced adverse drug reactions(ADRs)is crucial for drug safety evaluation,as it directly impacts public health and safety.While various models have shown promising results in predicting ADRs,their accuracy still needs improvement.Additionally,many existing models often lack interpretability when linking molecular structures to specific ADRs and frequently rely on manually selected molecular fingerprints,which can introduce bias.To address these challenges,we propose ToxBERT,an efficient transformer encoder model that leverages attention and masking mechanisms for simplified molecular input line entry system(SMILES)representations.Our results demonstrate that ToxBERT achieved area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUROC)scores of 0.839,0.759,and 0.664 for predicting drug-induced QT prolongation(DIQT),rhabdomyolysis,and liver injury,respectively,outperforming previous studies.Furthermore,ToxBERT can identify drug substructures that are closely associated with specific ADRs.These findings indicate that ToxBERT is not only a valuable tool for understanding the mechanisms underlying specific drug-induced ADRs but also for mitigating potential ADRs in the drug discovery pipeline.

Spine fracture and dislocation are common traumatic spinal conditions that often require surgical intervention due to compromised spinal stability. Surgical approaches include anterior, posterior, and combined anterior-posterior spinal procedures. According to the specific surgical requirements, patients may be placed in the prone position or repositioned between prone and supine positions during surgery. Intraoperative repositioning has become an essential step in patient positioning. However, during repositioning, patients with spinal fracture and dislocation are at increased risk for complications such as hemodynamic instability, nerve injury, and pressure injuries to the skin and soft tissue. Notably, due to the instability of the spinal cord, even minor manipulations can further exacerbate the damage, potentially leading to severe outcomes like paraplegia. Although the current clinical guidelines provide instructive recommendations for standard position, there remains no specific protocols for intraoperative repositioning in patients with spine fracture and dislocation. With a concern for the lack of clinical studies on positioning techniques, risk prevention, and operational norms for special patients, no applicable guidelines or standards are available. A consensus was required to provide clinical reference, meet the requirements of surgical treatment, and minimize the safety risks of patients caused by improper placement of positions. Professional Committee of Operating Room Nursing of Shaanxi Nursing Association organized experts in nursing management and operating room nursing from major hospitals across China to formulate Expert consensus on intraoperative repositioning for patients with spinal fracture and dislocation ( version 2025). The consensus provides 11 recommendations covering pre-repositioning preparation, intraoperative maneuvers, and post-repositioning observation, aiming to provide references for clinical standardization of the intraoperative repositioning process and protection of patients′ safety.

Objective:To identify the risk factors for acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) undergoing haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HID-HSCT) .Methods:A total of 141 AML patients who underwent HID-HSCT at the Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, from January 2020 to July 2021 were included. The cumulative incidence of aGVHD was analyzed using the Fine-Gray competing risk model, with relapse and death as competing events, to compare differences between groups. Potential risk factors were evaluated by univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analyses to determine their independent effects on aGVHD.Results:Among the 141 patients, 86 (61.0%) were male and 55 (39.0%) were female, with a median age at transplantation of 34 years. Within 100 days post-transplant, 59 patients developed grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ aGVHD, whereas 86 patients experienced no or grade Ⅰ aGVHD (the grade 0-Ⅰ aGVHD group) . Survival analysis showed that the 3-year overall survival was 68.7% (95% CI: 57.7%-81.9%) in the grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ aGVHD group, compared with 78.8% (95% CI: 70.4%-88.3%) in the grade 0 - Ⅰ aGVHD group, with the difference not being statistically significant ( P=0.190) . Univariable analysis identified donor age ( P=0.020, HR=1.020, 95% CI: 1.000-1.040) and the female donor-male recipient sex combination ( P=0.033, HR=1.980, 95% CI: 1.160-3.380) as risk factors for grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ aGVHD. Multivariable analysis confirmed that donor age ( P=0.005, HR=1.026, 95% CI: 1.008-1.047) and the female donor-male recipient sex combination ( P=0.002, HR=2.339, 95% CI: 1.354-4.037) were independent risk factors for aGVHD. Patients receiving grafts from donors aged >45 years had a significantly higher 100-day cumulative incidence of grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ aGVHD compared with those receiving grafts from donors ≤45 years [54.7% (95% CI: 42.3%-67.0%) vs 31.6% (95% CI: 21.0%-42.1%) , P=0.006]. Similarly, patients with the female donor-male recipient sex combination had a higher 100-day cumulative incidence of grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ aGVHD than those with other sex combinations [56.8% (95% CI: 40.4%-73.1%) vs 36.9% (95% CI: 27.5%-46.3%) , P=0.015]. Conclusion:Older donor age and the female donor-male recipient sex combination remain independent risk factors for aGVHD in patients with AML undergoing HID-HSCT.

AIM: To assess the stability of the tear film and the characteristics of corneal nerves in patients with Parkinson's disease(PD).METHODS: This cross-sectional observational study included 72 PD patients and 50 healthy controls. Disease severity was determined using the Hoehn-Yahr(H-Y)scale, dividing patients into mild and moderate PD groups. Dry eye symptoms were evaluated via the ocular surface disease index(OSDI)questionnaire, while tear secretion was quantified using the Schirmer I test. Ocular surface damage was assessed through staining scores, and comprehensive ocular examinations were performed utilizing the LipiView ocular surface interferometer and an ocular surface analyzer. Corneal nerve parameters were examined using corneal confocal microscopy in conjunction with automated analysis software ACCMetrics, with correlations drawn between these parameters, PD course, and severity.RESULTS: PD patients exhibited significantly elevated OSDI scores, indicative of more pronounced dry eye symptoms compared to the control group(F=70.290, P<0.01). Tear film stability was markedly compromised, with significantly shorter tear film breakup time and increased corneal fluorescein staining, both showing statistically significant differences relative to controls(all P<0.01). Tear secretion indices, including Schirmer I test results and tear meniscus height, were significantly reduced in PD patients(all P<0.01), whereas lipid secretion indices, such as lipid layer thickness and meibomian gland dropout score, did not show significant variation. Corneal nerve analysis revealed significant reductions in corneal nerve fiber density, nerve branch density, fiber length, and total branch density in PD patients compared to controls(all P<0.01). Furthermore, blink frequency was markedly prolonged(F=62.353, P<0.01). Correlation analysis demonstrated a significant relationship between alterations in tear film stability and both disease duration and H-Y scores.CONCLUSION: PD patients have obvious dry eye manifestations in the early stage of the disease, including the reduction of tear film stability and corneal nerve fiber density, and gradually aggravate with the progress of the disease. Neurodegenerative disease-related dry eye needs to be diagnosed early and actively treated.

Objective:To study the lipid metabolism and its relationship with iodine nutrition status in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and benign thyroid nodules.Methods:A case-control study was conducted on patients with thyroid nodules initially diagnosed at Harbin Medical University Cancer Hospital from November 2015 to April 2019. Basic information, thyroid function indicators [thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free triiodothyronine (FT 3), free thyroxine (FT 4), thyroglobulin antibodies (TgAb), thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb)], and pathological diagnosis results were collected from all subjects. Fasting venous blood and morning urine samples were collected for serum iodine concentration (SIC), urine iodine concentration (UIC) and blood lipid indicators [total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), lipoprotein (a), apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1), apolipoprotein B (ApoB), apolipoprotein E (ApoE), and non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA)] measurements. Results:A total of 1 090 subjects were included, including 907 PTC patients and 183 benign thyroid nodule patients. The UIC [ M ( Q1, Q3)] for the PTC group and benign thyroid nodule group were 143.36 (94.08, 227.94) and 146.28 (112.89, 236.07) μg/L, respectively, with statistically significant differences between the groups ( Z = 4.16, P = 0.042). Among PTC patients with different clinical pathological features, those with lymph node metastasis had higher FT 3 levels than those without lymph node metastasis ( t = 5.42, P = 0.021). The levels of TSH, TgAb, and TPOAb in patients with PTC combined with autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) were higher than those without AITD ( Z = 11.87, 81.55, 475.96, P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the comparison of various blood lipid indicators ( P > 0.05). The correlation analysis showed that SIC in patients with thyroid nodules was positively correlated with FT 3, FT 4, ApoB, lipoprotein (a), NEFA, TG, LDL-C, and LDL-C/HDL-C ( P < 0.05). FT 3 was positively correlated with NEFA and LDL-C/HDL-C ( r = 0.12, 0.09, P < 0.05), and negatively correlated with ApoA1, TC, and HDL-C ( r = - 0.14, - 0.14, - 0.15, P < 0.001). FT 4 was positively correlated with NEFA ( r = 0.11, P < 0.001), and negatively correlated with TG ( r = - 0.10, P = 0.003). According to the iodine nutritional level, the ApoE level of PTC patients in the SIC < 45 μg/L group was higher than that in the 45 - 90 μg/L group ( P < 0.05). The levels of LDL-C and ApoB in patients with benign thyroid nodules in the SIC > 90 μg/L group were higher than those in the 45 - 90 μg/L group ( P < 0.05). The ApoE level of patients with benign thyroid nodules in the UIC < 100 μg/L group was significantly higher than that in the 100 - 299 and ≥300 μg/L groups ( P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in thyroid function indicators of patients with PTC and benign thyroid nodules between different levels of SIC and UIC ( P > 0.05). Conclusions:Compared to benign thyroid nodules, PTC does not significantly affect patients' blood lipid levels. In patients with PTC and benign thyroid nodules, insufficient or excessive iodine nutrition can affect lipid metabolism.

Purpose To investigate the independent risk factors for early recurrence of solitary hepatocellular carcinoma after radiofrequency ablation based on gadoxetic acid disodium(Gd-EOB-DTPA)-enhanced MRI combined with clinical features.Materials and Methods Clinical and imaging data of hepatocellular carcinoma patients who underwent radiofrequency ablation at the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine from January 2019 to June 2022 were retrospectively collected.All patients underwent preoperative Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI and were followed up for up to two years post-surgery.Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression were performed to identify independent risk factors for recurrence after radiofrequency ablation.Results A total of 58 patients were finally included,including early recurrence group(n=22)and non-early recurrence group(n=36).Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that preoperative alpha-fetoprotein(AFP)levels(HR=1.103,95%CI 1.008-1.206,P=0.033),arterial-phase irregular margin enhancement(HR=4.647,95%CI 1.527-14.110,P=0.007),peritumoral arterial-phase enhancement(HR=11.575,95%CI 3.575-37.478,P=0.001)and peritumoral hepatobiliary phase hypointensity(HR=5.058,95%CI 1.129-22.668,P=0.034)were independent risk factors for early recurrence.The area under the curve for AFP combined with arterial-phase irregular margin enhancement,peritumoral arterial-phase enhancement and peritumoral hepatobiliary phase hypointensity were 0.896,0.842 and 0.860,with accuracy rates of 81.0%,84.5%and 82.8%,respectively.Conclusion Preoperative serum AFP levels,arterial-phase irregular margin enhancement,peritumoral arterial-phase enhancement and peritumoral hepatobiliary phase hypointensity are independent risk factors for early recurrence after radiofrequency ablation in hepatocellular carcinoma patients.The combination of AFP and any of these MRI features significantly improves predictive efficacy.

Objective To explore the effect of life reconstruction training on anxiety and depression among individuals with chronic spinal cord injury(SCI)and their caregivers,and to analyze the influencing factors.Methods A total of 216 SCI patients and 79 caregivers who participated in life reconstruction training were recruited from the Hope House for SCI individuals in Shanghai Yangzhi Rehabilitation Hospital from May,2017 to Octo-ber,2019.They were assessed with Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)and Self-Rating Depression Scale(SDS)be-fore and after intervention.Results After intervention,the scores of SAS and SDS decreased(P<0.05)in both SCI patients and their caregivers.SAS scores were more likely to reduce in SCI patients who suffered anxiety at admission(OR=2.315,95%CI 1.328 to 4.033,P=0.003)and their caregivers(OR=3.632,95%CI 1.270 to 10.390,P=0.016),as well as non-agricultural-registered SCI patients(OR=1.908,95%CI 1.074 to 3.391,P=0.028).Being unmarried,having an injury duration≥21 years,injury due to disease,and having depression at admission significantly promoted the reduction in SDS scores among SCI patients(P<0.05).Caregivers with a junior-high-school education or less were more likely to experience reductions in scores of SAS and SDS compared with those with higher education(P<0.05).Caregivers with five to 15 years of caregiving experience achieved more anxiety reduction(OR=7.155,95%CI 1.806 to 28.342,P=0.005).Conclusion Life reconstruction training is effective on anxiety and depression among individuals with chronic SCI and their caregivers.It is recommended to prioritize anxiety interventions for patients with rural household registra-tion in China,along with depression management for the married/divorced/widowed individuals,with<21 years since injury,and trauma-induced lesions.For caregivers,it is needed to focus to anxiety and depression in better-educated individuals,as well as anxiety in those with either<5 or≥15 years of caregiving experience.

Objective To investigate the efficacy,safety and operation time of ultrasound-guided percutaneous polidocanol injection chemical ablation through 17 G coaxial needle for predominantly cystic thyroid nodules.Methods The clinical data of 176 patients with predominantly cystic thyroid nodules,who received ultrasound-guided percutaneous polidocanol injection chemical ablation at authors'hospital from January 2020 to June 2023,were retrospectively analyzed.Of the 176 patients,20 mL syringe needle was used in 96(control group)and 17 G coaxial needle was used in 80(study group).The clinical safety,efficacy,and operation time were compared between the two groups.Results After the chemical ablation therapy,the volume of thyroid nodules was obviously decreased in both groups,but the difference in the volume reduction ratio(VRR)between the two groups was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).The incidence of complications and the operation time in the study group were remarkably lower than those in the control group(both P＜0.05).Conclusion In treating predominantly cystic thyroid nodules with ultrasound-guided percutaneous polidocanol injection chemical ablation,the use of 17 G coaxial needle is superior to the use of 20 mL syringe needle in reducing the incidence of complications and in shortening the operation time,therefore,this technique is suitable for beginners to adopt.
