Objective:To explore the lifestyle pattern of the physical examination population and analyze its association with metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD).Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. Based on the data of 196 515 physical examination individuals from the Health Management Center of the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2016 to December 2020, the subjects were grouped and characterized by principal component analysis and cluster analysis. Among them, 137 277 cases with MAFLD diagnosis information were included in the association analysis between lifestyle pattern and MAFLD. The differences in lifestyle pattern choice among different age, sex, education level, marital status, occupational category and medical insurance type and their differences with the risk of MAFLD were analyzed. The generalized linear mixed model was used to control confounding factors and then association analysis was conducted.Results:There were 6 types of lifestyle patterns in the physical examination population, which were respectively: indulgent type-both physical and mental damage, remedial type-excessive diet, giving type-unique intensity, comfortable type-natural health, heavy smoking type-sedentary injury, heavy drinking type-attempting to make up, accounting for 7.29%, 9.62%, 7.43%, 52.16%, 9.77%, 13.73% in the population. Among them, the male lifestyle pattern was mainly the indulgent type, the remedial type, the heavy smoking type and the heavy drinking type, showing the characteristics of unhealthy lifestyle pattern; Women tended to have healthier lifestyle patterns. After association analysis with MAFLD, it was found that the prevalence of MAFLD was more than 50% in the people who belonged to the indulgent type, remedial type, the heavy smoking type and the heavy drinking type (53.62%, 57.06%, 51.25% and 50.50%, respectively), and the prevalence of MAFLD in the giving type group was 40.17%. The risk of MAFLD in comfortable group was relatively low (28.25%), and the difference in risk of MAFLD among all modes was statistically significant after controlling for confounding factors ( P<0.001). Conclusion:According to cluster mining, there are 6 types of lifestyle patterns in the physical examination population, and the healthier lifestyle pattern has a lower risk of MAFLD.

Objective:To investigate the value of early tight junction protein Claudin-5 levels in predicting the severity of acute pancreatitis (AP).Methods:A prospective observational study was conducted, including patients diagnosed with AP and admitted to the Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital from December 1, 2021 to November 30, 2022. Eligible healthy volunteers were randomly selected to serve as healthy controls during the same period. Patients were classified into mild acute pancreatitis (MAP) group, moderate-severe acute pancreatitis (MSAP) group, and severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) group based on the 2012 Atlanta classification criteria. Patients with SAP were then divided into three subgroups of 1, 3, and 7 days based on the duration of hospitalization. Baseline data, such as gender, age, underlying disease, and probable etiology, was collected from all enrolled individuals. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was employed to detect serum Claudin-5 levels in each cohort of enrollees. Data on additional serologic indicators, including hematocrit (HCT), albumin (Alb), serum Ca 2+, C-reactive protein (CRP), and procalcitonin (PCT) levels, were obtained via the in-hospital test query system in each group of patients with AP. The modified Marshall score (mMarshall), modified CT severity index (mCTSI) score, bedside severity index of severity in acute pancreatitis (BISAP) score, and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHEⅡ) were recorded for each group of patients with AP. Differences in the above indicators between groups were analyzed and compared. Spearman's correlation method was employed to examine the relationship between Claudin-5 levels and each influential factor. The receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was plotted to analyze the predictive value of each influencing factor on SAP. Ridge regression was used to screen for independent risk factors for SAP. Results:A total of 109 patients with AP were enrolled, comprising 66 in the MAP group, 15 in the MSAP group, and 28 in the SAP group. Additionally, 27 healthy volunteers were enrolled as the healthy control group. No statistically significant differences were observed in gender and age among the enrolled groups, and no statistically significant differences were identified among the three groups of patients with AP in terms of underlying disease and etiologic composition. As the disease progressed, serum Claudin-5 levels exhibited a notable increase across all AP patient groups, and they were all significantly higher than those in the healthy control group [ng/L: 888.58 (574.52, 1 141.59), 3 749.02 (2 784.93, 5 789.92), 4 667.81 (3 935.21, 7 315.66) vs. 291.13 (250.19, 314.75), all P < 0.05]. Subgroup analyses showed that as the disease duration prolonged, patients in the SAP group exhibited a notable decline in Claudin-5 levels at 3 days post-admission, compared with those at 1 day post-admission [ng/L: 2 052.59 (1 089.43, 4 006.47) vs. 4 667.81 (3 935.21, 7 315.66), P < 0.05]. Spearman correlation analysis showed that serum Claudin-5 levels in patients with AP were significantly positively correlated with CRP, PCT, HCT, and mMarshall, mCTSI, and BISAP scores ( r values were 0.570, 0.525, 0.323, 0.774, 0.670, 0.652, all P < 0.001), and significantly negatively correlated with Alb ( r = -0.394, P < 0.001). A significant trend was observed in patients with AP, with an increase of HCT levels and a decrease of Alb levels as the disease progressed (both P < 0.05). An improvement of aforementioned phenomena was observed in patients with SAP following treatment, indirectly indicating that serum Claudin-5 level was a positive indicator of vascular leakage. ROC curve analysis showed that serum Claudin-5 levels in patients with AP exhibited the highest accuracy for early prediction of SAP, with the area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.948. When serum Claudin-5 levels ≥2 997 ng/L, the sensitivity for early screening for SAP was 100% and the specificity was 88.89%. Multifactorial ridge regression analysis showed that serum Claudin-5 level, PCT and APACHEⅡscore could be used as independent risk factors for early prediction of SAP (all P < 0.05). Conclusion:Serum Claudin-5 levels facilitate early prediction of SAP and are strongly associated with inflammatory response and vascular leakage.

ObjectiveTo understand the current situation of anxiety level and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) nursing needs among residents during the COVID-19 epidemic, and to discuss the relationship between them,so as to provide references for maintaining their mental health. MethodsA total of 560 residents were recruited using convenience sampling method, and the selected individuals completed three questionnaires based on online platform, including self-designed general information questionnaire, Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7), and TCM nursing needs questionnaire. Then the correlation between anxiety level and TCM nursing needs was analyzed by Spearman correlation test. ResultsA total of 552 valid questionnaires were collected. The results of GAD-7 showed that the total score was (11.04±3.72), and average score of each item was (1.58±0.53). There were 328 cases (59.4%) without anxiety symptoms, 180 cases (32.6%) with mild anxiety, 33 cases (6.0%) with moderate anxiety, and 11 cases (2.0%) with severe anxiety. The analysis of TCM nursing needs questionnaire showed that the total score was (21.59±7.92), and dominated by the needs of medical knowledge (2.90±1.15) and TCM dietary care (2.82±1.13). The item score and total score of TCM nursing needs questionnaire of residents during the COVID-19 epidemic were positively correlated with GAD-7 total score (r=0.240~0.331, P<0.01). ConclusionResidents suffer from different levels of anxiety during the COVID-19 epidemic, and TCM nursing needs is on the rise, indicating that the anxiety level of residents is correlated with the needs of TCM nursing.

Immune cell infiltration is of great significance for the diagnosis and prognosis of cancer. In this study, we collected gene expression data of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and normal tissues included in TCGA database, obtained the proportion of 22 immune cells by CIBERSORT tool, and then evaluated the infiltration of immune cells. Subsequently, based on the proportion of 22 immune cells, a classification model of NSCLC tissues and normal tissues was constructed using machine learning methods. The AUC, sensitivity and specificity of classification model built by random forest algorithm reached 0.987, 0.98 and 0.84, respectively. In addition, the AUC, sensitivity and specificity of classification model of lung adenocarcinoma and lung squamous carcinoma tissues constructed by random forest method 0.827, 0.75 and 0.77, respectively. Finally, we constructed a prognosis model of NSCLC by combining the immunocyte score composed of 8 strongly correlated features of 22 immunocyte features screened by LASSO regression with clinical features. After evaluation and verification, C-index reached 0.71 and the calibration curves of three years and five years were well fitted in the prognosis model, which could accurately predict the degree of prognostic risk. This study aims to provide a new strategy for the diagnosis and prognosis of NSCLC based on the classification model and prognosis model established by immune cell infiltration.

Objective:To study the new mechanism of Xuebijing injection improving the function of pulmonary vascular barrier from the perspective of claudin-5 protein.Methods:Acute lung injury (ALI) model was induced by hydrogen sulfide (H 2S) exposure. ① In vivo study: Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were divided into control group, H 2S exposure group (exposure to 300×10 -6 H 2S for 3 hours), Xuebijing control group (Xuebijing injection 4 mL/kg, twice a day, for 3 days), and Xuebijing intervention group (H 2S exposure after pretreatment of Xuebijing injection) according to random number method, with 6 rats in each group. At different time points (0, 6, 12 and 24 hours) after the model was made successfully, the total protein content in plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of rats were detected respectively, and the pulmonary permeability index (PPI) was calculated (PPI = protein content in BALF/protein content in plasma), lung dry/wet weight ratio (W/D) was detected, and claudin-5 mRNA expression in lung tissue was measured by real time-polymerase chain reaction. ② In vitro test: human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (HPMECs) were divided into blank control group, NaHS treatment group (co-incubated with 500 μmol/L NaHS for 12 hours), Xuebijing control group (2 g/L Xuebijing injection for 24 hours), and Xuebijing intervention group (2 g/L Xuebijing injection pre-treated for 24 hours, then co-incubated with 500 μmol/L NaHS for 12 hours). The HPMECs claudin-5 protein expression and monolayer permeability changes were measured at different co-incubation time (1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours) by Western Blot and fluoresceinsodium. Results:① In vivo study: compared with the control group, the lung W/D ratio increased significantly at 6 hours and peaked at 12 hours after H 2S exposure in rats (4.67±0.11 vs. 4.26±0.06, P < 0.01). The expression of claudin-5 mRNA in lung tissue was significantly decreased, which was 89% of control group 6 hours after exposure ( P < 0.01). The total protein content in BALF and PPI at 12 hours after exposure were significantly higher than those in the control group [total protein content (mg/L): 262.31±14.24 vs. 33.30±3.09, PPI: (11.72±0.57)×10 -3 vs. (1.21±0.08)×10 -3, both P < 0.01], while the results in Xuebijing intervention group were significantly decreased [total protein content (mg/L): 153.25±7.32 vs. 262.31±14.24, PPI: (5.79±0.23)×10 -3 vs. (11.72±0.57)×10 -3, both P < 0.01]. ② In vitro test: compared with the blank control group, after incubating HPMECs with NaHS, the permeability of monolayer endothelial cells gradually increased, reaching the highest level in 12 hours, about twice of that in the blank control group, while claudin-5 protein expression decreased to the lowest level at 12 hours (claudin-5/β-actin: 0.42±0.03 vs. 1.03±0.05, P < 0.01). After intervention with Xuebijing, the permeability of endothelial cells was significantly improved (fluorescence intensity of fluorescein sodium: 1.46±0.10 vs. 1.89±0.11, P < 0.01), and the decrease of claudin-5 protein was reduced (claudin-5/β-actin: 0.68±0.04 vs. 0.38±0.03, P < 0.01). Conclusion:Xuebijing injection may improve pulmonary vascular barrier function in ALI by upregulating claudin-5 expression.
