Objective To investigate the expression characteristics and clinical significance of endothelial cell-derived extracellular vesicles(EC-EVs)in the peripheral blood of patients with sep-sis-induced cardiomyopathy(SIC).Methods A total of 143 sepsis patients were enrolled and divid-ed into cardiomyopathy group(n=72)and non-cardiomyopathy group(n=71)based on occurrence of SIC.Peripheral blood samples were collected from patients in both groups upon admission for isola-tion and identification of EC-EVs.The number of EC-EVs,apoptosis,and the activity and expression levels of caspase-1 in EC-EVs were compared between the two groups.Spearman correlation analysis was used to assess the correlations of the number of EC-EVs,caspase-1 activity,and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP)with cardiac troponin Ⅰ(cTnⅠ).Multivariable Logistic regres-sion analysis was conducted to explore the factors influencing the occurrence of SIC in sepsis patients.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were plotted to analyze the predictive value of the number of EC-EVs and caspase-1 activity for SIC.Results EC-EVs with a diameter of approximately 100 nm,intact membrane structure,and expression of extracellular vesicles(EVs)marker molecules(CD9,CD63,CD81)were successfully isolated from samples in both groups.The cardiomyopathy group had significantly higher numbers of EC-EVs in peripheral blood,EC-EV apoptosis levels,caspase-1 activity,and protein expression levels compared to the non-cardiomyopathy group(P＜0.05).Spearman correlation analysis revealed positive correlations between the number of EC-EVs and NT-proBNP(r=0.603,0.685,P＜0.001),and between caspase-1 activity and cTnⅠ(r=0.474,0.711,P＜0.001).Multivariable Logistic regression analysis showed that the number of EC-EVs,caspase-1 activity,NT-proBNP levels,and cTnⅠ levels were all independent influencing factors for the occurrence of SIC in sepsis patients(P＜0.05).The ROC curves indicated that the areas under the curve for predicting SIC based on the number of EC-EVs and caspase-1 activity in peripheral blood were 0.721 and 0.858,respectively.Conclusion The number of EC-EVs and caspase-1 activity in EC-EVs in the peripheral blood of SIC patients are significantly increased,and are closely related to cardiac function and myocardial injury in sepsis patients.Thus,they have the potential to become biomarkers for predicting SIC.

Objective:To explore the value of 3D reconstruction combined with watershed analysis in thoracoscopic anatomical partial lobectomy for peripheral early stage lung cancer.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was used to analyze the case data of 152 patients with early peripheral lung cancer who received targeted treatment in Hai′an People′s Hospital of Jiangsu Province from January 2022 to April 2023. All patients were treated with thoracoscopic anatomical partial lung resection. According to different preoperative analysis methods, they were divided into an observation group ( n=79) and a control group ( n=73). The observation group underwent three-dimensional reconstruction combined with venous drainage analysis, and the control group underwent routine analyze. The surgical indicators, pulmonary function indicators, C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and complications were compared between the two groups. Normally distributed measurement data were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( ± s), independent samples t-test was used for comparison between groups, and paired-sample t-test was used for comparison within groups. Comparison of enumeration data between groups was performed using the chi-square test. Results:The operation time, postoperative drainage time, postoperative hospital stay, and intraoperative blood loss in the observation group were (76.57±11.94) min, (2.15±0.24) d, (4.32±0.75) d, and (27.63±3.54) mL respectively. The control group was (112.64±13.67) min, (3.76±0.31) d, (5.16±0.81) d, (53.26±4.61) mL, respectively. The observation group was smaller than the control group, and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( P<0.05). At discharge, the observation group had maximum ventilation per minute as a percentage of predicted value (MVV% pred), forced expiratory volume in 1 second as a percentage of predicted value (FEV1% pred), and forced vital capacity as a percentage of predicted value (FVC% pred) were (83.33±7.51)%, (85.22±7.44)%, (84.16±7.26)%, and those of the control group were (77.19±7.46)%, (76.47±7.36)%, and (79.38±7.20)%, respectively. The observation group was greater than that of the control group, and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The CRP and IL-6 in the observation group were(47.53±6.34) mg/L, (32.21±5.14) mg/L, (144.53±20.84) ng/L, (180.82±21.17) ng/L, respectively on the 1st and 3rd days after surgery, while those in the control group were (57.84±6.71) mg/L, (38.77±5.23)mg/L, (155.14±22.83) ng/L, (200.97±25.52) ng/L, the observation group was lower than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The incidence rate of complications in the observation group was 5.06%, and that in the control group was 10.96%, There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Preoperative 3D reconstruction combined with venous drainage analysis can better promote the recovery of patients with early peripheral lung cancer and retain more lung function after thoracoscopic anatomical partial pulmonary resection.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective:To analyze the thematic distribution characteristics and evolution trends of the compensation mechanism reform policies for public hospitals in China since the new healthcare reform,and to provide references for correctly understanding the basic connotation and extension of the reform of compensation mechanism.Methods:A total of 75 documents issued at the national level were collected.The BERTopic topic model was used for thematic identification.The dynamic topic modeling method of BERTopic was adopted to conduct policy evolution analysis.Result:Since the new medical reform,the reform policy of compensation mechanism in public hospitals can be divided into eight themes,such as strengthening the operation management of public hospitals and adjusting the price of medical services.It shows an evolutionary trend of emphasizing the control of excessive growth of medical expenses and the implementation of government investment responsibilities in the early stage,focusing on the elimination of drug additions and the adjustment of medical service prices in the middle stage,and strengthening the reform of medical insurance payment methods in the later stage.Conclusions:The reform of the compensation mechanism for public hospitals is essentially a systematic reconstruction of the operation mechanism of public hospitals.Adjusting and optimizing medical service prices and reforming the medical insurance payment method are the key and focus of improving the compensation mechanism for public hospitals.
