Objective To investigate the correlation between the triglyceride-glucose(TyG)index,its derivatives in combination with obesity indicators and the risk of albuminuria in patients with type 2diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods T2DM inpatients who were hospitalized in the Department of Endocrinology from January 2020 to March 2023 were consecutively collected as study subjects,and divided into the group with no albuminuria(n=246)and the group with albuminuria(n=221).Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between TyG index,its derivative index and clinical indicators,and multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the correlation between TyG index,its derivative indexes and albuminuria.Results The TyG index and its derived indices[TyG-body mass index(TyG-BMI),TyG-waist-to-hip ratio(TyG-WHR),TyG-waist-to-height ratio(TyG-WtHR)]were significantly higher in the albuminuric group of patients with T2DM than in the group without albuminuria(all P＜0.001).The inci-dence of albuminuria gradually increased with increasing tertile groupings of all four indicators(all P＜0.001).In multivariate Logistic regression analysis,after correcting for screened risk factors,the TyG index(OR=1.50,95％CI:1.07-2.08,P=0.019),TyG-BMI(OR=1.01,95％CI:1.00-1.01,P=0.009),TyG-WHR(OR=1.45,95％CI:1.12-1.88,P=0.005),and TyG-WtHR(OR=1.39,95％CI:1.00-1.91,P=0.048)were the independent risk factors for albuminuria.For categorical variables,using the 1st quartile group(Q1)as a control group,the 3rd quartile group(Q3)of all four indices were all risk factors for albuminuria,whereas the Q3group of TyG-WHR was more significantly associated with albuminuria compared to the TyG index alone and the other de-rived indices(OR=2.55,95％CI:1.44-4.51,P=0.002).Conclusion In patients with T2DM,both TyG index and its derivatives combined with obesity indicators were significantly associated with albuminuria,and in patients with higher index levels,the risk of albu-minuria was higher in patients with high levels of TyG-WHR compared with single TyG index and other derivatives.Therefore,TyG-WHR may be a novel biological indicator to predict the development of DKD in T2DM patients.

Objective:To carry out a scoping review of studies on prehabilitation in kidney transplant patients.Methods:Databases such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, Wanfang Data, China Biology Medicine disc, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library and Embase were searched according to the research methodology of the scoping review. The search period was from database establishment to August 14, 2024. Two researchers screened, summarized and analyzed the included literature.Results:A total of 11 papers were included. Intervention components involved unimodal prehabilitation and multimodal prehabilitation that incorporated exercise, nutrition, and psychological interventions. Forms of intervention included aerobic, resistance, flexibility exercises, respiratory function exercises, nutritional support, mindfulness-based stress reduction, psychoeducation, and cognitive therapy. Outcome indicators consisted of physical indicators, psychological indicators, quality of life, postoperative and feasibility indicators. Prehabilitation had positive impacts on cardiorespiratory fitness, physical fitness, physical activity, pain, quality of life, anxiety and depression, and short-term postoperative outcomes in kidney transplant patients.Conclusions:Prehabilitation interventions in kidney transplant patients are comprehensive, individualized, and have short-term positive outcomes. Future researchers should develop individualized multimodal prehabilitation intervention programs based on theoretical models to explore the long-term effects of prehabilitation, and should incorporate comprehensive evaluation indicators to explore the healthcare value and expandability factors of prehabilitation.

With the changing disease spectrum, the incidence of tumors is increasing and tends to occur among the youth. The long-term survival rate of patients with cancer has increased significantly, and attention to their reproductive rights is growing. Surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, and molecular targeted therapy are the conventional treatment methods for cancer, with each exerting different effects on the fertility of patients. Common fertility preservation techniques currently include sperm cryopreservation, embryo and oocyte cryopreservation, ovarian tissue cryopreservation, uterine transplantation, and assisted reproductive technology. This article systematically summarizes the influence of different antitumor treatments on fertility, as well as the current status and prospects of fertility preservation in patients with cancer. This study aims to improve cooperation between clinical oncologists and reproductive medicine doctors to enhance fertility preservation for patients with cancer.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common pathological type of lung cancer. The systemic antitumor therapy of advanced NSCLC has undergone renovations of chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy, which results in greatly improved survival for patients with advanced NSCLC. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), especially targeting programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), has changed the treatment paradigm of NSCLC. ICIs have become the standard treatment for advanced NSCLC without epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR) mutation or anaplastic lymphomakinase(ALK) translocation in the first- or second-line setting, and for locally advanced NSCLC following concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy. ICIs are also promising in adjuvant/neoadjuvant therapy. More and more ICIs have been approved domestically for the treatment of NSCLC. Led by the NSCLC expert committee of Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO), this consensus was developed and updated based on thoroughly reviewing domestic and foreign literatures, clinical trial data, systematic reviews, experts' discussion and the consensus(2019 version). This consensus will aid domestic clinicians in the treatment of NSCLC with ICIs.

Objective To investigate the effects of aspirin on the morphology and wall structure of the intracranial aneurysm induced by hemodynamics.Methods Twenty-six SD rats were randomly divided into three groups:a control group,a model group,and an aspirin group.The right common carotid artery,left external carotid artery,and pterygopalatine artery were ligated in order to change the hemodynamics of left internal carotid artery.After 3-month induction,the anterior communicating artery complex were harvested after heart perfusion.The aneurysm-like structure was observed using a scanning electron microscope and was graded.The changes of elastic hyer and smooth muscle cells in the tunica media were detected by pathological examination.Results Aneurysm-like remodeling was observed both in the model group and in the aspirin group,and there was no statistical differences in morphological grade between the 2 groups (P =0.054).Pathological examination showed the folds or loss of the internal elastic lamina and thinned media smooth muscle layer both in the model group and in the aspirin group.The length of thinned media in the model group was significantly higher than that in the aspirin group (173.50 ± 17.62 μm vs.153.50 ± 12.04 μ,m;t=2.964,P=0.008).Conclusions Aspirin can slow down the pathological remodeling of intracranial aneurysm wall,but it cannot completely inhibit the formation of intracranial aneurysm.

Objective To evaluate the predictive values of different systems for clinical staging of esophageal carcinoma in one group of patients and improve the criteria for T staging,and to provide a basis for accurate clinical staging. Methods A retrospective study was performed in 701 patients with esophageal carcinoma who received radical radiotherapy in our hospital. The prognosis was performed according to American Joint Committee on Cancer ( AJCC) tumor-node-metastasis staging system,Chinese 2004 staging system,the draft of Chinese 2009 staging system,and gross tumor volume of the primary tumor (GTV-T). Results In terms of T stage,patients evaluated according to the AJCC staging system were in relatively early stages;23. 1% of them were in stage T1,and the survival curves of T3 and T4 patients were close to each other;the survival curves plotted according to the Chinese 2004 staging system were well separated, but relatively few patients were in stages T1 and T4 , yielding an uneven distribution;according to the draft of Chinese 2009 staging system, the survival curve of T3 patients intersected that of T4 patients, and up to 43. 2% of patients were in stage T4.The new T staging was performed based on GTV and the extent of tumor invasion into the adjacent tissue and organ, and the results showed that there was no intersection between survival curves and a relatively balanced T stage distribution. In terms of N staging,patients were divided into stages N0 ,N1 ,and N2 . The TNM staging was performed by a combination of N staging and new T staging, resulting in significant separation between survival curves ( P=0. 000) . Conclusions The combination of T staging,which is based on GTV and the extent of tumor invasion,and N staging,which is based on metastasis of lymph nodes, can accurately predict the survival of non-surgically treated patients with esophageal carcinoma.
