AIM: To investigate the diagnostic and prognostic value of differential expression of Cyclin D1 and p53 in eyelid tumors.METHODS: This retrospective study enrolled patients who underwent surgical resection for eyelid tumors at our hospital between March 2018 and March 2023. Participants were categorized into benign and malignant groups based on tumor characteristics. Clinical data were collected. Genetic data for eyelid tumors were obtained from the GEO database, and differential gene analysis, including volcano plot visualization and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis, was performed using the Sangerbox 3.0 platform. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression levels of Cyclin D1, p53, and BAX in tissue samples. Correlations with clinical features were analyzed using Spearman analysis, and prognostic factors were identified via Logistic regression analysis.RESULTS: This study included 69 patients with eyelid tumors(78 eyes), categorized into a benign group(37 patients, 41 eyes)and a malignant group(32 patients, 37 eyes)based on tumor characteristics. There were significant differences between the two groups in histological subtype, TNM staging, vascular invasion, differentiation status, and local infiltration(all P<0.05). Among benign tumors: pigmented nevi in 11 eyes(27%), hemangiomas in 9 eyes(22%), squamous cell papillomas in 5 eyes(12%), epidermoid cysts in 5 eyes(12%), seborrheic keratoses in 4 eyes(10%), neurofibromas in 3 eyes(7%), and both calcifying epithelioma and xanthelasma in 2 eyes each(5%); among malignant tumors: basal cell carcinoma in 18 eyes(49%), meibomian gland carcinoma in 8 eyes(22%), squamous cell carcinoma in 5 eyes(14%), sebaceous gland carcinoma in 4 eyes(11%), lymphoma and malignant melanoma each in 1 eye(3%). At the follow-up cutoff date of March 2025, the 2-year survival rate in the benign group(95%)was significantly higher than that in the malignant group(78%; P<0.05). Bioinformatics analysis identified 4 103 differentially expressed genes, including Cyclin D1, p53, and BAX, which were predominantly involved in pathways such as the p53 signaling pathway and calcium-related signaling. Spearman analysis revealed that local invasion(rs=0.71, P<0.05)and TNM stage(rs=0.73, P<0.05)correlated with Cyclin D1 expression; local invasion(rs=0.76, P<0.05)and histological subtype(rs=0.65, P<0.05)correlated with p53 expression. Logistic regression results indicated that Cyclin D1, p53, TNM staging, and local invasion were prognostic risk factors. ROC curve analysis demonstrated that the combined detection of these four indicators had the highest predictive value for prognosis(AUC=0.83).CONCLUSION: High expression of cyclin D1 and p53 serves as molecular markers for distinguishing benign from malignant eyelid tumors and assessing prognosis. Combined detection of these markers with TNM staging and local invasion demonstrates high predictive value for prognosis.

To interpret the evidence-to-decision （EtD） framework and to illustrate its application in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） guideline development using the example of the Pharmacovigilance Guideline of Chinese Patent Medicine， thereby providing methodological references for TCM guideline standardization. Based on the core three stages of the EtD framework （formulating the question， making an assessment of the evidence， and drawing conclusions）， critical decision points and evaluation evidence within the evidence-translation process were systematically addressed， aligning with the purpose， scope， and key questions of the guideline. Qualitative research methods， such as the nominal group technique， were employed to formulate recommendations. The analysis was conducted based on the EtD framework. During question formulation， the specific characteristics and practical needs of pharmacovigilance for Chinese patent medicines were clarified， focusing on the core objective of safety assurance throughout the product lifecycle. In the evidence assessment， multi-source evidence was integrated， including policy documents， literature research， and expert consensus， completing the evidence evaluation. Finally， in recommendation-forming， dispersed research evidence and expert experience were synthesized into consensus， culminating in the guideline's completion through solicitation of opinions and peer review. The EtD framework provides a structured tool for evidence-to-decision translation in TCM guideline development， effectively enhancing the transparency and scientific rigor of the process. Therefore， it is recommended that TCM guideline development adopt the EtD framework to improve the evidence-to-decision process with TCM characteristics.

This article retrospectively analyzed the involvement of clinical pharmacists in the treatment process and implementation of pharmacological supervision in a patient with septic arthritis secondary to tophi ulceration.The patient was admitted to the hospital and the emergency debridement and tophi removal were performed.Piperacillin-tazobactam,imipenem cilastatin,levofloxacin,linezolid,and vancomycin were given successively,and multiple debridement and drainage were performed,but the patient remained febrile and had recurrent infection indicators.According to the relevant guidelines and evidence-based evidence,combined with the patient's infection indicators,pathogen results and creatinine clearance rate,the clinical pharmacists recommended stopping vancomycin and changing to cefazolin,and the clinicians adopted it.After that,the patient's inflammatory indicators gradually decreased,and the body temperature stabilized.After 28 days of piperacillin-tazobactam administration,the patient developed a reduction in white blood cell count(2.34×109·L-1)and potassium(2.98 mmol·L-1).The pharmacist recommended prompt discontinuation of the drug,and the patient's white blood cell count and potassium gradually recovered.Eventually,after anti-infective treatment and surgical intervention,the patient was discharged with closure of the infected foci,conversion of multiple blood cultures to negative,and stabilisation of body temperature and renal function.This case reflects the role of clinical pharmacists in the management of drug treatment of critically ill patients,and may provide practical experience and reference for clinical treatment of such cases.

Objective:To identify prognostic factors associated with survival rates in patients with distal cholangiocarcinoma after radical surgery, and to construct a Nomogram prediction model based on these factors, as well as to perform internal validation of the model.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on the clinical data of 162 patients (76 males and 86 females) with distal cholangiocarcinoma who underwent radical surgery at the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Ningxia Medical University General Hospital from January 2011 to July 2019. The study used univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis to identify independent risk factors and constructed a Nomogram prediction model using R software version 4.4.1. Additionally, the predictive accuracy of the model was evaluated through the C-index, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, and the calibration curve.Results:The median overall survival for the 162 patients was 18.4 months. The final multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that the following factors were independent risk factors for poor postoperative prognosis in patients with distal cholangiocarcinoma: patient age [> 60 years, P = 0.004, hazard ratios ( HR) = 1.876], tumor diameter (> 2.0 cm, P < 0.001, HR = 0.174), tumor differentiation degree [moderately differentiated/moderately to highly differentiated/highly differentiated, P = 0.017, HR = 1.407], lymph node metastasis (Yes, P = 0.002, HR = 0.551), and vascular invasion (Yes, P = 0.025, HR = 1.329) (all P < 0.05). Based on these independent risk factors identified through statistical analysis, the C-index of the constructed nomogram prediction model was 0.793. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve values for the model predicting postoperative 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year overall survival rates were 0.932, 0.771, and 0.758,respectively. Conclusions:Patient age, tumor diameter, tumor differentiation degree, lymph node metastasis, and vascular invasion are independent risk factors for poor postoperative prognosis in patients with distal cholangiocarcinoma. The final Nomogram prediction model demonstrates good predictive ability and has certain practical application potential.

Objective:To explore the effect of loneliness on self-perceived aging among elderly patients after gastric cancer surgery, and to examine the mediating role of emotion regulation strategies, in order to provide a basis for clinical interventions.Methods:A convenience sample of 220 elderly postoperative gastric cancer patients hospitalized in Shanxi Provincial Cancer Hospital between August and November 2024 was selected. Data were collected using a general demographic questionnaire, the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), the Cancer Loneliness Scale (CLS), and the Brief Aging Perceptions Questionnaire (B-APQ). A structural equation model was constructed using AMOS 26.0, and the significance of the mediating effect was tested using the bootstrap method with 5 000 resamples.Results:A total of 220 questionnaires were distributed in this study, and 203 valid questionnaires were recovered, with a response rate of 92.27%. The total B-APQ score was (47.45±11.43). For the ERQ, the score for cognitive reappraisal was (22.80±8.17), and for expressive suppression was (18.37±5.10). The CLS score was (18.19±6.11). Mediation analysis showed that loneliness had a direct effect of 0.353 on self-perceived aging. Emotion regulation strategy—cognitive reappraisal—partially mediated the relationship between loneliness and self-perceived aging, with a mediation effect value of 0.178, accounting for 33.52% of the total effect (0.178/0.531) .Conclusions:Clinical practitioners should implement interventions to reduce loneliness in elderly patients after gastric cancer surgery and guide them in adopting cognitive reappraisal as an emotion regulation strategy. These approaches may help promote positive aging in this patient population.

Objective:To report the preliminary clinical exploration result of spatially fractionated radiation therapy (SFPT) using the pencil-beam-scanning (PBS) technique at a single center for the treatment of patients with bulky tumors.Methods:Data on the clinical characteristics, tumor characteristics, and dosimetric parameters were retrospectively collected from patients with bulky tumors at the Radiation Oncology Department, Ion Medical Center, First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China (i.e., the Hefei Ion Medical Center) from April 2024 to December 2024. Three-dimensional lattice radiotherapy (LRT) was primarily utilized in the SFRT, with multi-field robust optimization performed using pencil beam scanning. SFRT target volumes (STVs) were defined as 1.0 cm-diameter spheres. Primary observation indicators included the remission rate of tumor-associated symptoms, followed by the local tumor control rate.Results:A total of 12 patients were enrolled in this study, with a median age of 61 years (28-85 years). The primary tumors included hepatocellular carcinoma (six patients), sarcomas (three patients), and lung cancer (two patients). Eight patients received concurrent systemic therapy. The SFRT plans showed a median gross tumor volume (GTV) of 429.63 cm 3 (120.60-2 053.30 cm 3), a median STV number of 8 (3-20), a single-fraction dose to STVs of 10 GyE, a median irradiation quantity of 6 (3-8), a median STV of 8 cm 3 (3-20 cm 3), a median STV proportion of 2.09% (0.62%-3.30%), a median GTV corresponding to a single STV of 52.91 cm 3 (30.25-159.82 cm 3), and a median peak-to-valley dose ratio of 3.37 (2.29-7.60). All patients received conventionally fractionated proton therapy (CFPT), with a median prescription dose of 50 GyE (40-60 GyE). Furthermore, these patients showed a median follow-up time of 174 d (133-235 d), a remission rate of tumor-associated symptoms of 75%, and a local control rate of 100%. Four patients experienced grade 1-2 treatment-related adverse events, suggesting high overall tolerability of the patients. Conclusions:SFRT represents a promising technique with high control rates and tolerability for bulky tumors, providing the possibility for quick symptom relief and the control of tumor progression.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics and treatment of patients with acute Q fever in Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province.Methods:A total of 26 patients with acute Q fever admitted to People′s Hospital of Yunnan Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture from October 2022 to December 2023 were enrolled. A retrospective cross-sectional study analysis was performed to analyze the demographic characteristics, epidemiology, clinical manifestations, laboratory tests and pathogen detection of these patients.Results:Of the 26 patients, 25 were male and one was female. The age ranged from 18 to 82 years with an average age of (45.6±17.2) years. All of them were sporadic cases. The neighbors of eight patients had sheep and cattle, 11 cases had a history of field work, and four cases had a history of field trip. Coxiella burnetii was detected in 26 patients by different molecular diagnostic techniques, including 21 cases by blood quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), three cases by sputum multi-pathogen targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS), one case by alveolar lavage fluid tNGS, and one case by cerebrospinal fluid metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS). Routine blood cultures of 19 cases were negative. All 26 patients presented with chills and fever, 21 cases (80.8%) with headache, 19 cases (73.1%) with fatigue, 14 cases (53.8%) with generalized aches and pains, 12 cases (46.2%) with poor appetite, and 14 cases (53.8%) with cough. Twenty-four cases had concurrent hepatitis, 12 cases had pneumonia, one had encephalitis, and 19 cases had myocardial damage. The laboratory tests showed that 23 cases (88.5%) had normal white blood cell count, eight cases (30.8%) had decreased platelet count, 25 cases (96.2%) had C-reactive protein elevated, 24 cases (92.3%) had procalcitonin elevated, 14 out of 17 cases had elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and 19 cases had elevated D-dimer levels. Liver function tests showed that alanine aminotransferase increased in 24 cases (92.3%) (all less than 10 times of upper limit of normal (ULN)), aspartate aminotransferase increased in 23 cases (88.5%) (all less than 10 times of ULN), alkaline phosphatase increased in 10 cases (38.5%)(all less than two times of ULN), and γ-glutamyl transpeptidase increased in 19 cases (73.1%), which were all less than 10 times of ULN. Myocardial enzymes were detected in 21 cases, of which seven cases (33.3%) had elevated lactate dehydrogenase and 12 cases (57.1%) had elevated hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (all less than three times of ULN). In terms of treatment, 16 cases were treated with doxycycline alone, and nine cases were treated with doxycycline combined with azithromycin or quinolones or rifampicin, and one with tigecycline. After treatment, the conditions of patients improved. The overall length of hospital stay was (7.7±5.0) d, and that of eight patients treated with doxycycline combined with quinolones or azithromycin was 4.8 to 6.0 days. Conclusions:Acute Q fever often has no clear epidemiological history, and the clinical manifestations and laboratory tests are lack of specificity. qPCR, tNGS, mNGS can provide pathogenic diagnostic evidence for suspected cases. In terms of treatment, doxycycline is the first choice for treatment of acute Q fever, and combined treatment with azithromycin or quinolones could result in a shorter hospital stay.

Objective To explore the independent risk factors for long-term adverse prognosis after percutaneous renal artery angioplasty in patients with transplant renal artery stenosis(TRAS).Methods We retrospectively collected medical records and surgery details of TRAS patients who underwent renal artery angioplasty at the Department of Peripheral Vascular Diseases,The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University,from January 2017 to June 2021.All patients were followed up for 3 years post-operation.Multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to find the independent predictive factors for long-term adverse prognosis after renal artery angioplasty in the TRAS patients.Results A total of 45 TRAS patients who underwent percutaneous renal artery angioplasty were included in this study.During the five-year follow-up period,10 patients(22.2％)experienced long-term adverse events.These consisted of 3 patients(6.7％)who died from any cause,1 patient(2.2％)who developed transplant renal artery dissection,6 patients(13.3％)who had restenosis of the transplant renal artery,and 1 patient(2.2％)who lost the transplant kidney and received dialysis again.Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that male gender(HR=4.915,95％CI:1.036-23.328,P=0.045)and balloon angioplasty alone(HR=8.594,95％CI:2.191-33.710,P=0.002)were independent risk factors for long-term adverse prognosis after renal artery angioplasty in TRAS patients.Conclusion Male gender and balloon angioplasty alone are independent risk factors for long-term adverse prognosis after renal artery angioplasty in TRAS patients.

Objective:To carry out evidence-based practice in the management of exercise rehabilitation for kinesiophobia patients after degenerative lumbar spine disease surgery, construct review indicators, analyze barriers and facilitators to evidence-based practice, and develop strategies for action change.Methods:Using the integrated-promoting action on research implementation in health services model (i-PARIHS model) as a theoretical framework, clinical nursing problems were identified, the evidence-based practice group was built, evidence was systematically retrieved, evaluated, and summarized, and review indicators were developed and review methodology was clarified. An evidence-based baseline review of 36 healthcare professionals in the Department of Orthopedics of the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical University was conducted from October 2023 to January 2024 using the Evidence-based Readiness Scale. Barriers and facilitators to the evidence-based practice were analyzed based on the results of the baseline review, strategies for action were developed accordingly.Results:A total of 23 pieces of best evidence were included and 32 review indicators were developed. In the baseline review, 25 of the review indicators had an accurate implementation rate of < 60% and 14 had an implementation rate of 0. The main barriers of evidence-based practice were lack of effective feedback systems, lack of kinesiophobia mentoring programs, and lack of management processes and educational materials. The main facilitators were active support from organizational leadership and high motivation of patients and their families to participate. A total of 15 action strategies were eventually developed.Conclusions:This study constructed review indicators for the management of exercise rehabilitation in kinesiophobia patients after degenerative lumbar spine disease surgery based on the best evidence. There are several barriers in clinical practice. The action change strategy developed is scientifically sound and feasible.
