Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease(CJD)is a rapidly progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by prions,with certain infectivity and iatrogenic transmission risks.With the rapid progress and application of new dia-gnostic biomarkers and detection methods,as well as the construction and improvement of surveillance and reporting systems,the detection of CJD in patients domestically and internationally has shown an increasing trend year by year.Due to its long incubation period and heterogeneity of early symptoms,early identification and diagnosis of the disease is difficult,increasing the risk of transmission within medical institutions.Currently,there is a lack of con-sensus on the infection prevention and control of CJD.In order to timely identify and diagnose CJD as well as effec-tively block its transmission in medical institutions,this consensus summarizes 15 clinical concerns and formulates 24 specific recommendations based on the latest domestic and international research findings and clinical evidence,as well as combines with clinical practice,aiming to standardize healthcare-associated infection prevention and control measures for CJD and reduce its transmission risk in medical institutions.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of sleep quality on the relationship between serum vitamin D3 level and depressive symptoms in community-dwelling elderly people with mild cognitive impairment(MCI).Methods:A total of 480 elderly people with MCI meeting inclusion criteria in a community health service center from Jan 2023 to Dec 2023 were selected as the research objects.The general information questionnaire,mini-mental state examination(MMSE),activity of daily living scale(ADL),Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale(CES-D)and Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI)were used to investigate the subjects.Serum vitamin D3 level was detected within 1 week.Spearson correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between sleep quality,serum vitamin D3 level and depressive symptoms.The mediating effect model was tested by Model 4 in the Process plug-in.Results:Among the 480 MCI elderly,the average score of depression was(12.28±4.75),the average serum vitamin D3 level was(25.81±7.09)ng/ml,and the average score of sleep quality was(7.17±2.71).Depression severity was positively correlated with sleep quality score(r=0.294,P＜0.01),and negatively correlated with serum vitamin D3 level(r=-0.237,P＜0.01).Serum vitamin D3 level was negatively correlated with sleep quality score(r=-0.225,P＜0.01).Bootstrap analysis showed that the mediating effect of sleep quality between serum vitamin D3 level and depression level was-0.064(95%CI:-0.115--0.023),accounting for 26.57%of the total effect.Conclusion:Sleep quality partially mediates the relationship between serum vitamin D3 level and depressive symptoms in the elderly with MCI in the community.

Objective:To analyze the efficacy of the combination therapy of pembrolizumab,a programmed death receptor-1(PD-1)inhibitor,and chemotherapy in the treatment of cervical cancer.Methods:A total of 60 patients with cervical cancer who visited our hospital from January 2020 to January 2023 were selected and divided into two groups:30 patients were treated with first-line chemotherapy,and 30 patients were treated with pembrolizumab combined with first-line chemotherapy.Compare the recent efficacy of two groups,including immune related indicators[CD4+/CD8+ratio,interleukin-6(IL-6),interferon-γ(IFN-γ)],serum tumor markers[Squamous Cell Carcinoma Antigen(SCC Ag),Carbohydrate Antigen 125(CA125)],incidence of adverse reactions,and survival status[Progression Free Survival(PFS),Overall Survival(OS)]before and after treatment.Results:The objective response rate(ORR)of the combination group was 73.33％,while that of the chemotherapy group was 40.00％.The combination group was higher than the chemotherapy group(P＜0.05);There was no significant difference in the levels of CD4+/CD8+,IL-6,and IFN-γ between the two groups before treatment(P＞0.05).After treatment,the levels of CD4+/CD8+,IL-6,and IFN-γ decreased in the combination group,which was lower than those in the chemotherapy group(P＜0.05);There was no significant difference in the levels of SCC Ag and CA125 between the two groups before treatment(P＞0.05).After treatment,the levels of SCC Ag and CA125 in both groups decreased,with the combination group lower than the chemotherapy group(P＜0.05);There was no significant difference in the incidence of hematological toxicity(anemia,thrombocytopenia),immune related toxicity(hypothyroidism,immune pneumonia,elevated transaminase),skin/mucosal reactions(rash,oral mucosal inflammation),and other adverse reactions(diarrhea,fatigue)between the two groups(P＞0.05).The incidence of grade 3 or above neutropenia was higher in the chemotherapy group than in the combination group(P＜0.05);The PFS and OS time of the combined group were higher than those of the chemotherapy group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The combination therapy of PD-1 inhibitor pembrolizumab and chemotherapy is significantly effective in treating cervical cancer,which can improve the immune environment,reduce serum marker levels,and has high safety.At the same time,through long-term follow-up,it was found that the combination therapy can further improve patients'long-term progression free survival and overall survival.

OBJECTIVE: To explore and quantify the association of hot night exposure during the sperm development period (0-90 lag days) with semen quality. METHODS: A total of 6,640 male sperm donors from 6 human sperm banks in China during 2014-2020 were recruited in this multicenter study. Two indices (i.e., hot night excess [HNE] and hot night duration [HND]) were used to estimate the heat intensity and duration during nighttime. Linear mixed models were used to examine the association between hot nights and semen quality parameters. RESULTS: The exposure-response relationship revealed that HNE and HND during 0-90 days before semen collection had a significantly inverse association with sperm motility. Specifically, a 1 °C increase in HNE was associated with decreased sperm progressive motility of 0.0090 (95% confidence interval [ CI]: -0.0147, -0.0033) and decreased total motility of 0.0094 (95% CI: -0.0160, -0.0029). HND was significantly associated with reduced sperm progressive motility and total motility of 0.0021 (95% CI: -0.0040, -0.0003) and 0.0023 (95% CI: -0.0043, -0.0002), respectively. Consistent results were observed at different temperature thresholds on hot nights. CONCLUSION Our findings highlight the need to mitigate nocturnal heat exposure during spermatogenesis to maintain optimal semen quality.

Schizophrenia is a common, severe, and complex psychiatric disorder worldwide. Genetic factors account for around 80% of the etiology of schizophrenia, yet objective diagnostic biomarkers remain lacking. This article reports two cases of female monozygotic twins diagnosed with schizophrenia, exhibiting a balanced translocation between 22q11.2 and 4p15.3. Reviewing the literature, we analyze and discuss the correlation between chromosomal balanced translocation regions and the pathogenesis of mental disorders. This aims to encourage psychiatrists to consider new perspectives on the diagnosis of schizophrenia.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy and major complications (postoperative hemorrhage and cerebral edema) of 3 surgical methods in spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage (SSICH).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed; 294 patients with SSICH admitted to Department of Neurosurgery, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from December 2018 to October 2021 were selected. According to different surgical methods, these patients were divided into neuroendoscopic hematoma removal group ( n=126), stereotactic drilling and drainage group ( n=98), and craniotomy hematoma removal group ( n=70). The surgical efficacy and complications in the 3 groups were analyzed, and the postoperative residual hematoma and edema volumes were quantitatively calculated based on 3D Slicer software. Results:The hematoma evacuation rate in the neuroendoscopic hematoma removal group, stereotactic drilling and drainage group, and craniotomy hematoma removal group was 86.25%±2.27%, 44.45%±3.61%, and 75.45%±2.89%, respectively; Glasgow coma Scale scores at discharge were 13.51±1.28, 11.24±2.17 and 10.25±2.56, respectively; postoperative hemorrhage incidence was 16.1%, 26.0% and 22.9%, respectively; postoperative residual hematoma volume was (18.90±12.33) mL, (25.75±11.43) mL and (22.91±7.93) mL, and postoperative peak edema volume was (37.43±11.07) mL, (39.54±9.43) mL, and (42.26±10.94) mL, respectively; percentage of patients with peak edema on 3-5 days after surgery was 31.0%, 65.3% and 68.6%; the diameter of edema zone was (20.04±2.98) mm, (24.12±5.85) mm and (23.59±3.81) mm, respectively, on 7 days after surgery; percentage of patients with edema resolution was 45.2%, 24.5%, 42.9% and 76.2%, 57.1%, 62.9%, respectively, on 9-11 days and 12-14 days after surgery; these indexes in the neuroendoscopic hematoma removal group were significantly different compared with those in the other two groups ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with stereotactic drilling and drainage or craniotomy hematoma removal, neuroendoscopic surgery can effectively remove the hematoma and reduce the occurrences of postoperative hemorrhage and brain edema.

Turning to critical illness is a common stage of various diseases and injuries before death. Patients usually have complex health conditions, while the treatment process involves a wide range of content, along with high requirements for doctor′s professionalism and multi-specialty teamwork, as well as a great demand for time-sensitive treatments. However, this is not matched with critical care professionals and the current state of medical care in China. Telemedicine, which shortens the distance of medical professionals and the gap of disease diagnosis and treatments in various regions through electronic information, can effectively solve the current problem. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a standardized, high-quality visualization telemedicine round system .Therefore, experts have been organized to search domestic and foreign literature on telemedicine round for critically ill patients and to form this consensus based on clinical experiences so as to further improve the level of critical care treatments in regions.

AIM To investigate the effects of Yiqi Juanbi Formula on chondrocyte pyroptosis in rat models of collagen-induced arthritis(CIA).METHODS Fifty rats were subcutaneously injected at the tail base with an emulsion containing equal volumes of bovine type Ⅱ collagen and incomplete Freund's adjuvant(IFA)to establish the CIA models.These rats were then randomly assigned to the model group,the methotrexate group(0.35 mg/kg),and the low-dose,medium-dose,and high-dose Yiqi Juanbi Formula groups(9.4,18.7,37.4 g/kg),in contrast to the ten intact rats serving in the normal control group.Following four weeks of intragastric administration,the rats had their general conditions observed;their joint swelling and arthritis indices measured;their ankle joint pathology assessed by HE staining;their serum levels of IL-1β,IL-18 and TNF-ɑ detected by ELISA;their mRNA expressions of NLRP3,Caspase-1,GSDMD,IL-1β,IL-18 and TNF-ɑ in ankle cartilage quantified by RT-qPCR;their protein expressions of NF-κB,NLRP3 and Caspase-1 in ankle cartilage analyzed by Western blot;and their NLRP3 and GSDMD positive expressions in ankle cartilage examined by immunohistochemistry.RESULTS Compared to the control group,the model group showed significantly increased joint swelling and arthritis indices(P＜0.01);elevated serum levels of IL-1 β,IL-18 and TNF-ɑ(P＜0.01);pathological changes including cartilage surface defects,reduced cell count,altered cellular morphology,irregular cell arrangement,and significant inflammatory cell infiltration in synovial tissue;upregulated mRNA expressions of NF-κB,NLRP3,Caspase-1,GSDMD,IL-1β,IL-18 and TNF-ɑ(P＜0.01)and increased protein expressions of NF-κB,NLRP3 and Caspase-1(P＜0.01)in ankle cartilage;enhanced positive expressions of NLRP3 and GSDMD in ankle cartilage(P＜0.01).Compared to the model group,the groups intervened with methotrexate or medium-or high-dose Yiqi Juanbi Formula exhibited reduced joint swelling and arthritis indices(P＜0.01);alleviated pathological damage in ankle joints;decreased serum levels of IL-1β,IL-18 and TNF-ɑ(P＜0.01);downregulated mRNA expressions of NF-κB,NLRP3,Caspase-1,GSDMD,IL-1β,IL-18 and TNF-ɑ(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),and reduced protein expressions of NF-κB,NLRP3 and Caspase-1(P＜0.05,P＜0.01)in ankle cartilage;and diminished positive expressions of NLRP3 and GSDMD in ankle cartilage(P＜0.01).CONCLUSION Yiqi Juanbi Formula alleviates inflammation in CIA rats,potentially by inhibiting the activation of the NF-κB/NLRP3/Caspase-1 signaling pathway,thereby suppressing chondrocyte pyroptosis.
