ObjectiveThis paper aims to explore the risk factors for chronic atrophic gastritis （CAG） with turbidity toxin accumulation syndrome and establish a prediction model. MethodsClinical data of 180 patients with CAG who participated in the "clinical study of Xianglian Huazhuo Particles blocking CAG cancer transformation" of Hebei Sheng Zhong Yi Yuan from July 2021 to March 2022 were collected. After confounding factors were controlled by propensity score matching， patients were divided into a training set （namely dev） and a validation set （namely vad） in a seven to three ratio. The risk factors for CAG with turbidity toxin accumulation syndrome in the training set were investigated by using univariate Logistic regression analysis and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator （namely Lasso） regression algorithms. Subsequently， a model， named model 1se， was developed by using the training set data to predict the risk factors for CAG with turbidity toxin accumulation syndrome. The accuracy of the prediction model was assessed by using various methods， including the receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve， Hosmer-Lemeshow test （H-L）， calibration plot， and decision curve analysis （DCA）. ResultsAge， body mass index （BMI）， family history of cancer， job and life satisfaction， yellow and greasy fur with slippery pulse， and heavy body sensation were independent risk factors of the model. The prediction model showed excellent predictive value for both the training and validation sets. ConclusionThe established prediction model for CAG with turbidity toxin accumulation syndrome has high discrimination and excellent calibration， which could provide an excellent clinical basis for disease diagnosis and individualized treatment of patients.

Objective:To develop a post competence assessment scale for nurses in the health management (physical examination) center and assess its reliability and validity.Methods:This study adopted an empirical approach. A total of 801 nurses from the health management (physical examination) center were recruited to participate in this study. A research team was formed in August 2024. This team transformed the previously constructed core competence evaluation index system for health management specialist nurses in the health management (physical examination) center (comprising 6 first-level indicators and 70 third-level indicators) into a preliminary post competence assessment scale. Seven experts evaluated the content validity of the scale. In September 2024, a pilot survey was conducted among 27 nurses from the health management (physical examination) center of Sichuan Provincial People′s Hospital using convenience sampling. From October to November 2024, the first main survey was administered to 385 nurses of health management (physical examination) center across 54 cities in China using both convenience sampling and snowball sampling methods, followed by exploratory factor analysis (EFA). Subsequently, utilizing the refined scale obtained after eliminating certain items, a second main survey was conducted among 389 nurses in the health management (physical examination) center, followed by a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The reliability of the final scale was assessed using Cronbach′s α coefficient, split-half reliability, composite reliability, and test-retest reliability.Results:The finalized scale for nurses′ post competency in health management (physical examination) center comprises five dimensions—basic nursing service competency, health management practice competency, knowledge integration competency, professional development competency, and professional attitude—with a total of 57 items. The item level content validity index (I-CVI) of the items of the content validity display scale ranged from 0.857 to 1.000, and the content validity index of each dimension ranged from 0.984 to 1.000. The scale-level Content Validity index/average (S-CVI/Ave) was 0.995. The contribution rate of the 6 factors extracted by EFA was 74.07%. After group discussion and CFA, the scale of the 5-factor structural equation model was constructed. The total Cronbach′s α coefficient of the scale was 0.986, the split-half reliability was 0.865, the composite reliability was 0.960-0.980, the total table test-retest reliability was 0.762, and the test-retest reliability of each dimension was 0.681-0.731.Conclusion:The developed assessment scale for assessing the post competence of nurses in the health management (physical examination) center demonstrates excellent reliability and validity.

Acute pancreatitis(AP)is a frequently encountered acute abdominal syndrome in clinical settings,and the integrated model of traditional Chinese and Western medicine(TCM-WM)has demonstrated notable advantages in the diagnosis and treatment of AP.To systematize and standardize clinical practices related to develop clinical pathway for integrated TCM-WM diagnosis and treatment of AP,which enhances the efficiency and quality of patient care.This pathway focuses on AP,a common acute and life-threatening disease within the digestive system,and outlines that the central pathological mechanism involves pancreatic injury and localized inflammation resulting from the abnormal activation of pancreatic enzymes.It has the characteristics of rapid onset,multiple causes,and complex manifestations.Severe cases can be life-threatening.At present,conventional treatments encompass a diverse range of modalities.Moreover,traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)holds distinct advantages in alleviating relevant symptoms,and TCM-WM is gaining increasing prevalence.To enhance the standardization and consistency of diagnostic and therapeutic practices,this clinical pathway clearly delineates the target patient population,which includes individuals diagnosed with abdominal pain disorder according to TCM and with AP in accordance with WM criteria,as well as the corresponding inclusion standards.The diagnostic framework integrates both TCM and WM guidelines,and further incorporates disease staging,severity grading,and syndrome differentiation to support a comprehensive and integrated diagnostic strategy.The treatment integrates approaches from both TCM and WM.Within the WM framework,interventions consist of basic supportive care,infection control,nutritional support,and the management of complications.In the context of TCM,the protocol includes syndrome differentiation and corresponding therapeutic strategies(Distinct syndrome patterns are identified and managed during the acute and convalescent phases),such as acupuncture and retention enema.This clinical pathway addresses multiple key components,including preventive strategies,post-treatment follow-up,criteria for evaluating therapeutic efficacy,admission and discharge,admission examination protocols,discharge criteria,and the rationale for deviations or withdrawal from the pathway.It is designed to provide a systematic and standardized reference framework for relevant clinical practices.

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic value of visual endoscopic retrograde appendicitis therapy (vERAT) in pediatric patients with acute suppurative appendicitis (ASA).Methods:This was a retrospective cohort study. A total of 55 ASA patients who underwent vERAT at the Pediatric Department of the Tangdu Hospital of Air Force Medical University between November 2023 and January 2025 were selected and divided into groups based on the presence or absence of fecaliths: fecalith group and non-fecalith group. The baseline characteristics, initial treatment success rates, treatment costs, hospital stay duration, procedure time, and recurrence rates between two groups were compared. Mann-Whitney U test and χ2 test were used to evaluate group differences. Results:A total of 55 ASA patients were enrolled, including 38 males and 17 females, with the age of 11.2 (9.2, 13.1) years. Based on the presence of fecaliths, patients were divided into two groups: fecalith group (32 cases) and non-fecalith group (23 cases). No statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of age, gender, duration of abdominal pain, white blood cell count, neutrophil percentage, diameter of appendix, thickness of appendix clinical symptoms or signs (all P>0.05). The initial treatment success rates were 91% (29/32) in fecalith group and 96% (22/23) in non-fecalith group, with no statistically significant difference ( P=0.632). However, significant differences were noted in stent placement ( χ2=5.85, P=0.026) and procedure time ( Z=4.75, P<0.001). The follow-up duration time was 6.0 (2.0, 12.0) and 7.0 (2.0, 8.5) months for the fecalith and non-fecalith groups, respectively, with no significant difference ( Z=0.05, P=0.962). The recurrence rates were 14% (4/29) in fecalith group and 5% (1/22) in non-fecalith group, with no statistically significant difference ( P=0.375). Conclusions:vERAT can safely and effectively treat pediatric ASA, regardless of the presence or absence of fecaliths. It can provide a new treatment option for ASA.

Objective To analyze the expression levels of miR-27a-3p mRNA and Yes-associated protein 1(YAP1)mRNA in breast cancer,and to explore their relationships with clinicopathological features and the survival prognosis of patients.Methods A total of 130 breast cancer patients who underwent mastectomy in our hospital between January 2019 and January 2021 were enrolled.The expression levels of miR-27a-3p and YAP1 mRNA in breast tumor tissues and adjacent normal breast tissues were assessed by qRT-PCR.Furthermore,the relationships between their expression and clinicopathological features,as well as the survival prognosis of patients,were investigated.Results Compared with adjacent normal breast tissues,the expression of miR-27a-3p mRNA in breast tumor tissues was lower(P＜0.05),while that of YAP1 mRNA was higher(P＜0.05).A negative correlation was observed between the expression of miR-27a-3p mRNA and YAP1 mRNA in breast tumor tissues(r=-0.456,P＜0.05).The expression of miR-27a-3p mRNA was correlated with tumor diameter,histological grade,tumor staging by the TNM system,lymph node metastasis,and vascular invasion in patients with breast cancer(P＜0.05).The YAP1 mRNA expression was correlated with histological grade,tumor staging by the TNM system,lymph node metastasis,and vascular invasion(P＜0.05).Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that the 3-year overall survival rate of the miR-27a-3p low-expression group was 71.60％(48/67),which was lower than the 91.50％(54/59)of the miR-27a-3p high-expression group(log-rank x2=8.211,P=0.004).The 3-year overall survival rate of the YAP1 high-expression group was 73.80％(45/61),lower than that of the YAP1 low-expression group(87.70％,57/65)(log-rank x2=4.429,P=0.035).Multivariate regression analysis indicated that lymph node metastasis(hazard ratio[HR]=1.409;95％CI,1.057-1.644;P=0.046),vascular invasion(HR=1.541;95％CI,1.076-1.869;P=0.045),low miR-27a-3p mRNA expression(HR=0.593;95％CI,0.388-0.925;P=0.018),and high YAP1 mRNA expression(HR=0.628;95％CI,0.405-0.912;P=0.022)were relevant factors affecting the 3-year overall survival of patients with breast cancer.Conclusion A significant downregulation of miR-27a-3p mRNA and upregulation of YAP1 mRNA are observed in breast tumor tissues.The low expression of miR-27a-3p mRNA and the high expression of YAP1 mRNA are associated with adverse clinicopathological features and poor survival prognosis,and are risk factors affecting the 3-year overall survival of patients with breast cancer.They show promise as new potential therapeutic targets for breast cancer.

Objective To establish an animal model of anterior displacement of the temporomandibular joint disc in rabbits and ob-serve the pathological changes of condylar cartilage under stress by using HE staining,immunohistochemical staining and immunofluo-rescence staining.Methods Thirty adult New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into a Sham operation group and four ex-perimental groups,with six rabbits in each group.The Sham operation group underwent a sham operation,while the experimental groups were used to establish an animal model of anterior displacement of the temporomandibular joint disc.The experimental groups were further divided into a model group(no postoperative treatment),a 2-APB(TRPM7 inhibitor)group,a PDTC(NF-κB specific inhibitor)group,and a Diclofenac group.Two weeks after the operation,the experimental animals were sacrificed,and pathological sections of the condylar cartilage were made.HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of the condylar cartilage,and immunohistochemical staining and immunofluorescence staining were used to observe the expression of NF-κB and its inflammatory fac-tors.Results ① HE staining showed that the pathological changes of the condylar cartilage were obvious at the 2nd week.Compared with the 2-APB group,PDTC group,and Diclofenac group,the pathological changes in the model group were more obvious.② Immu-nohistochemical staining showed that the expression of TRPM7,NF-κB,IL-1,IL-6,TNF-α and MMP-3 in the model group was higher than that in the sham operation group.After treatment with 2-APB,PDTC or diclofenac,the expression of TRPM7,NF-κB,IL-1,IL-6,TNF-α and MMP-3 decreased.③ Immunofluorescence staining showed that the expression of NF-κB in the model group was higher than that in the sham operation group.After treatment with 2-APB,PDTC or diclofenac,the expression of NF-κB decreased.Conclu-sion ① Under stress,the condylar bone undergoes early remodeling,and the apoptosis of condylar chondrocytes increases with the extension of loading time within a certain period.② Diclofenac,2-APB and PDTC can all reduce the apoptosis of condylar cells,and inflammatory factors also play an important role in the apoptosis of condylar chondrocytes.

Objective To explore the similarities and differences in clinical efficacy and mRNA transcriptomics characteristics between acupuncture and shallow needling at non-acupoints and to provide a basis for determining whether shallow needling at non-acupoints is suitable as a sham acupuncture control in acupuncture clinical trials.Methods Eighty patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria(CSU)who visited the Dermatology Department of the Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine between July 8,2018 and to July 29,2019,were included.The patients were randomly divided into the acupuncture group(n=41)and the sham acupuncture group(n=39)using a computerized complete random design.Additionally,12 healthy individuals were included as the healthy control group.For patients in the acupuncture group,"Baihui(GV20),""Shenting(GV24),""Zhongwan(CV12),"and bilateral"Quchi(LI11),""Tianshu(ST25),""Xuehai(SP10),""Zusanli(ST36),"and"Sanyinjiao(SP6)"were selected for regular acupuncture.The sham acupuncture group received non-acupoint shallow needling at eight non-acupoints on the head,upper limbs,lower limbs,and abdomen.Both groups underwent daily treatment,with five consecutive days constituting one treatment course followed by a two-day interval.A total of two courses were administered.The urticaria activity score(UAS)was used to evaluate wheals and pruritus,whereas the visual analog scale(VAS)score was used to evaluate the degree of pruritus.Blinding effectiveness was also evaluated.Based on clinical evaluation and sample quality,serum samples from six patients in each treatment group before and after the intervention,along with those from six healthy individuals,were selected for RNA sequencing using the BGISEQ-500 sequencer.Differentially expressed mRNAs were identified using the"DEGseq"software package,and the similarities and differences in mRNA expression between the two groups were analyzed.Results UAS and VAS scores decreased in both groups at 1,2,3,and 4 weeks of treatment compared with before treatment(P＜0.01).The decrease in UAS and VAS scores in both groups was time-dependent(P＜0.01)but not related to the grouping or the interaction between grouping and time(P＞0.05).By the end of the second week of treatment,the number of patients in both groups who believed they had received true acupuncture was similar between the two groups,with no significant difference.mRNA transcriptomic sequencing revealed that,before and after treatment,the enrichment types and degrees of differentially expressed mRNA were similar between the acupuncture and sham acupuncture groups at the biological process,cellular component,and molecular function levels.In terms of biological processes,both groups were commonly enriched in coagulation,hematoma,oxygen transport,and gas transport.In terms of cellular components,both groups exhibited enrichment in hemoglobin complexes,platelet alpha granules,extracellular exosomes,extracellular organelles,and extracellular vesicles.At the molecular function level,both groups were commonly enriched in actin filament-binding substances,haptoglobin,peroxidase activity,and oxygen blood binding.In the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathway enrichment analysis,both groups showed common enrichment in multiple entries such as cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction,ECM-receptor interaction,microRNAs in cancer,proteoglycans in cancer,bladder cancer,and malaria.Conclusion Acupuncture and sham acupuncture exhibited similar clinical treatment effects and mRNA transcriptomics profiles.In the design of acupuncture clinical trials,disease specificity should be carefully considered.Sham acupuncture control using non-acupoint shallow needling may not be suitable for skin diseases such as urticaria.

Acquired severe aplastic anemia (SAA) in children is a bone marrow failure disease characterized by reduced proliferation of marrow nucleated cells and decreased peripheral blood levels of two or three blood cell lines.Treatment options mainly include immunosuppressive therapy and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.The primary advantage of haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) is the availability of a donor for nearly everyone.With ongoing improvements in conditioning regimens, haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has made significant progress.This paper aims to review the research progress on haplo-HSCT for treating acquired SAA in children, providing reference for clinical practice.
