Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a neurological disease with high mortality and morbidity rates, and early neurological deterioration (END) is one of the key factors in evaluating outcome of patients. Early identification and effective intervention of END in patients with ICH is of great significance for their treatment and prognosis. This article reviews the predictive factors for END in patients with ICH from the perspectives of blood markers, hematoma characteristics, blood pressure variability, and imaging signs.

Objective To analyze the hip joint biomechanies of the acetabular anatomical reconstruction and nonanatomi-cal reconstruction in total hip arthroplasty(THA)for Crowe type Ⅲ developmental dysplasia of the hip(DDH)by finite ele-ment method,which provided theoretical foundation and experimental basis for the anatomical acetabular reconstruction dur-ing THA in clinical practice.Methods One patient with left end-stage hip arthritis secondary to Crowe type Ⅲ DDH was se-lected in this study,who underwent total hip arthroplasty in the orthopedic department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College in April 2020.This patient was female,57 years old.The preoperative and postoperative three dimentional CT scan of the patient's pelvis were performed.Fourteen acetabular cup models with different anteversion,inclination and rotation center height were established in Mimics and 3-Matic software.The boundary and load conditions were set in Abaqus software.The Von Mises and stress distribution of the hip joint were calculated and observed.Results In the Crowe type Ⅲ DDH THA,if the hip rotation center was restored anatomically and the acetabular cup's inclination was set as 40°,the cup's anteversion var-ied from 5° to 25°,the lowest Von Mises value of acetabular cup and polyethylene liner occured in 20°anteversioin;if the hip rotation center was restored anatomically and the acetabular cup's anteversion was set as 15°,the cup's inclination varied from 35° to 55°,the lowest Von Mises value of acetabular cup and polyethylene liner occured in 35° inclination;if the acetabular cup's anteversion and inclination were set as 15°and 40°respectively,the up migration of hip rotaion center varied from 0 mm to 20 mm,the lowest Von Mises value of acetabular cup and polyethylene liner occured in 10 mm up migration.In all fourteen models,the Von Mises value of the acetabulum,acetabulum cup and polyethylene liner were lowest when the acetabular cup's anteversion and inlcination were 15°,35° respectively,as well as the rotation center was restored anatomically.Conclusion In total hip arthroplasty for Crowe type Ⅲ DDH,the anatomical restoration of hip rotation center with 15° anteversion and 35° in-clination of the acetabular cup are suggested,bone graft above the acetabular cup and additional screws are recommended si-multaneously to further reduce the Von Mises of hip joint.

Objective:To analyze the effects of preoperative renin-angiotensin system inhibitor (RASi) use on postoperative renal function and short-term and long-term prognosis in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).Methods:A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted. Based on the registration study data of CABG patients at Fuwai Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, the clinical data of adult patients who underwent CABG from January 2013 to December 2022 were analyzed. Preoperative use of RASi (PreRASi) was defined as receiving RASi treatment within 48 hours before surgery. Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) was defined using the diagnostic criteria of Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO). Demographic characteristics, past medical history, comorbidities, preoperative medication, preoperative laboratory test results, specific information on surgical procedures, and postoperative treatment related data were extracted. The primary endpoint was the incidence of postoperative AKI. Secondary endpoints included in-hospital all-cause mortality and all-cause mortality within the longest follow-up period. According to whether RASi was used before surgery, the patients were divided into PreRASi group and No-PreRASi group. The baseline data of the two groups were balanced by propensity score matching (PSM). Logistic regression model and Cox proportional hazards model were used to assess the correlation between PreRASi and postoperative AKI and clinical outcomes, and analyze the subgroups of hypertension and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) in the cohort.Results:A total of 33?884 patients who underwent CABG were included, with a mean follow-up duration of (3.0±2.4) years and the longest follow-up duration up to 8.5 years. There were 9?128 cases (26.94%) in the PreRASi group and 24?756 cases (73.06%) in the No-PreRASi group. The incidence of postoperative AKI in the PreRASi group was 47.61% (4?346 cases), compared to 52.37% (12?964 cases) in the No-PreRASi group. Two groups were matched with 5?094 patients each. Compared to the No-PreRASi group, both before and after PSM, PreRASi was associated with a reduction of risk of postoperative AKI [before PSM: odds ratio ( OR) = 0.834, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 0.793-0.877, P < 0.001; after PSM: OR = 0.875, 95% CI was 0.808-0.948, P = 0.001]. Subgroup analysis of hypertensive and HFpEF patients showed that PreRASi was associated with a decreased risk of postoperative AKI before and after PSM. The in-hospital mortality for the PreRASi and No-PreRASi groups were 0.61% (56 cases) and 0.49% (121 cases), respectively. Analysis of the overall cohort and subgroups with hypertension and HFpEF showed no correlation between PreRASi and in-hospital mortality or longest follow-up mortality. Conclusion:The perioperative use of RASi can reduce the risk of postoperative AKI in patients undergoing CABG, has a certain renal protective effect, but is not associated with short-term or long-term death risk after surgery.

Objective To investigate the changes in motor symptoms and cognitive levels in α-synuclein A53T transgenic mice at different months of age and possible mechanisms.Methods The α-synuclein A53T transgenic mice and wild C57/BL6J mice,aged 6 months,were selected.The open field test and the rotarod test were used to observe the motor function and emotional response of mice;fear conditioning and the novel object recognition test were used to observe the cognitive function of mice;Western blotting was used to measure the expression level of M1 cholinergic receptor in the hippocampus of the mice in the two groups,and the transcriptome method was used to observe the difference in gene ex-pression in the hippocampus between the two groups.Results Behavioral experiments showed that compared with the wild-type mice,the A53T transgenic mice showed cognitive dysfunction at 12 months of age[novel object recognition test:(36.74±13.33)vs(46.90±6.58),t=-2.368,P=0.027],and this phenomenon occurred before motor symptoms.West-ern blotting showed that there was no significant difference in the level of M1 cholinergic receptor in the hippocampus be-tween the A53T transgenic mice and the wild-type mice(P=0.537).The transcriptome analysis identified 290 differen-tially expressed genes between the two groups,among which there were 20 genes with significant difference,and the sig-nificantly downregulated gene sets in the hippocampus of A53T mice were mainly involved in anti-cellular inflammatory re-sponse and antioxidant level.Conclusion Cognitive dysfunction in A53T transgenic mice occurs earlier than motor symp-toms,with a relatively late time node.Transcriptome tests suggest that cellular inflammatory response and oxidative stress injury might be involved in the early pathological process of cognitive impairment in A53T mice.

Objective To investigate the imaging features of intestinal schwannoma(IS)in order to improve the diagnostic ability of the disease.Methods The clinical and imaging data of 14 patients with surgically and pathologically confirmed IS were retrospectively analyzed,including the location,size,morphology,nature,growth pattern,CT density,MRI signal,PET/CT metabolism and other characteristics of the tumors.Results Of the 14 IS cases,the lesions of 3 cases were located in the duodenum,2 cases in the cecum,8 cases in the colon and 1 case in the rectum.The lesions were all round or oval,with an average maximum diameter of(2.4±1.1)cm.The lesions were solid in 13 cases,extraluminal growth in 10 cases,cystic degeneration in 1 case and myxoid degeneration in 1 case.Chronic inflammatory lymph nodes were seen around the diseased intestines in 9 cases,and the short diameter of lymph nodes was greater than 5 mm in 6 cases.All 14 cases of IS showed low attenuation on plain CT scan,and progressive enhancement after contrast injection,including 1 case of mild enhancement,2 cases of moderate enhancement,and 11 cases of obvious enhancement.Two cases of IS showed low signal intensity on T1WI,slightly high signal intensity on T2WI,significantly high signal intensity on DWI,and obvious progressive enhancement after contrast injection on MRI.Two cases of IS showed high metabolism on 18F-FDG-PET/CT,and the SUVmax was 9.4 and 8.8,respectively.Conclusion The imaging findings of IS were characteristic to a certain extent.They mainly manifested as solid nodules or masses derived from the intestinal submucosa,with uniform attenuation or signal intensity,obvious progressive enhancement after contrast injection,obvious hypermetabolism on 18F-FDG-PET/CT,and slightly larger homogeneous lymph nodes were common around the lesions.

Objective To explore the relationship and internal path between activities of daily living(ADL),sleep quality and mental health of community elderly people in Shanghai.Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted among community residents aged 60 years and older seeing doctors in community health care center of five streets in Shanghai during Sept to Dec,2021 using convenience sampling.Activities of Daily Living(ADL),Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI)and 10-item Kessler Psychological Distress Scale(K10)were adopted in the survey.Single factor analysis,correlation analysis and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the data.The effect relationship between the variables was tested using Bootstrap's mediated effects test.Results A total of 1 864 participants were included in the study.The average score was 15.53±4.47 for ADL,5.60±3.71 for PSQI and 15.50±6.28 for K10.The rate of ADL impairment,poor sleep quality,poor and very poor mental health of the elderly were 23.6%,27.3%,11.9%and 4.9%,respectively.ADL and sleep quality were all positively correlated with mental health(r=0.321,P＜0.001;r=0.466,P＜0.001);ADL was positively correlated with sleep quality(r=0.294,P＜0.001).Multiple linear results of factors influencing mental health showed that ADL(β= 0.457,95%CI:0.341-0.573),sleep quality(β =0.667,95%CI:0.598-0.737)and mental health were positively correlated(P＜0.001).Sleep quality partially mediated the relationship between ADL and mental health(95%CI:0.078-0.124)with an effect size of 33.0%.Conclusion Sleep quality is a mediator between ADL and mental health among community elderly people.Improving ADL and sleep quality may improve mental health in the population.

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 expression of miR-205 and miR-367 in cutaneous malignant melanoma(CMM)tissue and their relationships with clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis.Methods The tumor tissues from 85 patients with CMM who were admitted to our hospital from May 2013 to December 2019 were selected as the CMM group,and the nevus tissue samples from 80 patients with benign pigmented nevi who were treated in our hospital during the same period were selected as the control group.The expression level of miR-205 and miR-367 of two groups were detected by qRT-PCR.The clinical and pathological data of patients with CMM were collected,and the relationships between the expression of miR-205 and miR-367 and clinicopathological characteristics were analyzed.Kaplan-Meier was used to draw the survival curves of patients 3 years after surgery,and the survival rate of patients was analyzed by Log-rank test.The influencing factors of prognosis was analyzed by COX proportional risk regression model.Results The expression level of miR-205 of patients in the CMM group was lower than that in the control group,and the expression level of miR-367 was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).The proportions of patients with ulceration,high clinical stage,tumor invasion,low KPS score,thick primary lesion,high Clark grade,lymph node metastasis in the miR-205 low-expression group were higher than those in the miR-205 high-expression group(P<0.05),the proportions of patients with the above indexes in the miR-367 high-expression group were higher than those in the miR-367 low-expression group(P<0.05).Patietns were followed up for 3 years,with a median time of 28.3 months,and 1 case was lost to followed-up.The Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that the 3-year survival rate of patients in the miR-205 high-expression group was higher than that in the miR-205 low-expression group(P<0.05),and the 3-year survival rate of patients in the miR-367 low-expression group was higher than that in the miR-367 high-expression group(P<0.05).COX multivariate regression analysis showed that the high clinical stage,low KPS score,high Clark grade,lymph node metastasis,and high expression of miR-367 were the risk factors for prognosis of patients,while high expression of miR-205 was a protective factor(P<0.05).Conclusion Low expression of miR-205 and high expression of miR-367 in CMM tissue are associated with ulceration,high clinical stage,tumor invasion,low KPS score,thick primary lesion,high Clark grade,lymph node metastasis,and poor prognosis.These two indicators may serve as potential biomarkers for prognostic evaluation in CMM patients.

Objective:To investigate the prediction of the tumor proliferation antigen(Ki-67) expression status in breast cancer patients based on ultrasound radiomics combined with clinicopathologic features.Methods:Breast cancer patients who underwent 2D ultrasound and Ki-67 examination from January 2018 to February 2022 in Changzhou Second People′s Hospital, Nanjing Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 427 patients from Chengzhong campus were randomly divided into training and validation sets in the ratio of 8∶2, and 229 patients from Yanghu campus were used as an independent external test set. Radiomics features were extracted from the region of interest of 2D ultrasound images, and the Mann-Whitney U test, recursive feature elimination, and minimum absolute shrinkage and selection operators were used to perform feature dimensionality reduction and to establish a radiomics score(Rad-score). Subsequently, single/multifactor logistic regression regression analyses were used to construct a joint prediction model based on Rad-score and clinicopathological features. Model performance and utility were assessed using the subject operating characteristic area under the curve (AUC), calibration curve, and decision curve analyses. Results:The AUCs of the joint model for predicting Ki-67 expression status in breast cancer in the training, validation, and test sets were 0.858, 0.797, and 0.802, respectively, which were superior to those of the radiomics (0.772, 0.731, and 0.713) and clinical models (0.738, 0.750, and 0.707). Calibration curve and decision curve analyses indicated that the joint model had good calibration and clinical value.Conclusions:A joint model based on ultrasound radiomics and clinicopathological features can effectively predict the Ki-67 expression status of breast cancer, which is expected to become a non-invasive tool for Ki-67 detection and provide clinicians with an important auxiliary diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making basis.

Objective To explore the effect of Qingre Xiaoyanning tablets on chronic toxicity in SD rats.Methods A total of 120 SD rats were randomly divided into blank group(water)and experimental-L,-M,-H groups(2.63,5.25 and 10.50 g·kg 1 Qingre Xiaoyanning dry paste powder),with 30 rats per group.Four groups were administered continuously for 4 weeks with a recovery period of 4 weeks.SD rats were dissected as planned.The general condition,weight gain,hematological and biochemical indexes,major organ coefficients,macroscopic and microscopic tissue morphology were observed.Results There were no significant differences in the general condition,body mass growth,coagulation index and histopathology of rats between the experimental-L,-M,-H groups and the blank group.End of administration,the mean hemoglobin concentrations of experimental-H and blank groups were(370.70±3.78)and(365.90±5.77)g·L-1,glucose were(5.98±0.63)and(6.61±0.93)mmol·L-1,blood urea nitrogen(BUN)were(4.72±1.01)and(5.78±1.64)mmol·L-1,liver coefficients were 3.05±0.17 and 2.89±0.19,and the differences were statistically significant(P≤0.05,P≤0.01).Resumption of the final,direct bilirubin of experimental-L and blank groups were(0.38±0.18)and(0.19±0.18)pmol·L 1,BUN of experimental-M and blank groups were(4.45±0.56)and(5.65±1.16)mmol·L-1,and the differences were statistically significant(all P≤0.05).Conclusion Repeated administration of Qingre Xiaoyanning tablets showed no significant toxicity in SD rats.
