Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with worldwide prevalence,primarily characterized by epidermal hyperplasia,abnormal keratinization,and immune cell infiltration,with a significant negative impact on patients' quality of life and mental well-being.The onset of psoriasis is closely associated with genetic susceptibility,immune dysregulation,and environmental factors.Despite research progress into the pathogenesis of psoriasis,existing treatment method still face problems including limited efficacy and obvious side effects.There is thus an urgent need for an in-depth analysis of its pathological network and the development of novel interventional strategies.The imiquimod-induced psoriasis animal model has accordingly become a crucial tool for studying psoriasis owing to its high reproducibility and excellent pathological simulation.This review systematically summarizes the core mechanism of action of the imiquimod-induced psoriasis model,expounds on the molecular basis of its action via pathways such as the cascade reaction of the core immune-inflammatory axis,the multi-regulatory network of downstream synergistic mechanisms,and the interaction between host and environmental factors.Research based on this model has successfully verified the therapeutic effects of various targeted therapies and natural products on psoriasis,demonstrating its important application value in therapeutic interventional research.We also discuss the limitations of the imiquimod-induced psoriasis model,and indicate future research directions,with the aim of providing references for further in-depth research and the treatment of psoriasis.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of attentional bias towards cancer-related stimuli in breast cancer patients with fear of cancer recurrence(FCR)under subthreshold and suprathreshold stimulus conditions.Methods A total of 94 female breast cancer patients admitted in First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University from September 2022 to March 2023 were recruited to complete the Fear of Cancer Recurrence Inventory-Short Form(FCRI-SF)and the dot-probe task.According to the FCRI-SF cut-off score of 13,they were divided into clinical and non-clinical FCR groups,with 47 cases in each group.One-sample t-test and repeated-measures ANOVA were used to statistically analyze the subjects in the 2 groups in terms of attentional bias score,attentional orienting score and attentional disengagement difficulty score.Results The patients in the clinical FCR group showed a significant attentional bias toward cancer-related negative words(P<0.05).Under the subthreshold stimulus condition,its main component was attentional orienting to cancer-related negative words(P<0.05).In the suprathreshold stimulus condition,the main components were attentional orienting to neutral words matched by cancer-related negative words and difficulty in attentional disengagement from cancer-related negative words as well as attentional avoidance for cancer-related positive words(P<0.05).Conclusion Breast cancer patients with clinical FCR have an attentional bias toward cancer-related negative stimuli.Reducing their attention to cancer-related negative stimuli may be an effective measure to reduce FCR level in the patients.

Objective:To observe the efficacy of synchronous scalp acupuncture and rehabilitation training in the treatment of poststroke dysphagia.Methods:A total of 106 participants were divided into an observation group and a control group using the random number table method,with 53 cases in each group.The control group was treated with scalp acupuncture in addition to conventional rehabilitation training.The observation group was treated with synchronous scalp acupuncture and conventional rehabilitation training.Water swallowing test(WST),blood oxygen-saturation change amplitude,mini-mental state examination(MMSE),and standardized swallowing assessment(SSA)were assessed before treatment,after 2 weeks of treatment,and at follow-ups at week 4 and week 6.The effective rate was calculated based on the change in the WST grading after 2 weeks of treatment.Results:After 2 weeks of treatment,there was an insignificant difference in the total effective rate between the two groups(P>0.05),but the inter-group difference in the cured plus markedly effective rate was significant(P<0.01).The intra-group differences in the WST grading,blood oxygen-saturation change amplitude,and the scores of MMSE and SSA were significant among the 4 time points in the two groups(P<0.01).At follow-up at week 6,the WST grading and SSA score in the observation group were superior to those in the control group(P<0.01).Conclusion:Both intervention protocols can improve the swallowing function,physical function,and psychological status;the observation group's intervention is better than that of the control group in improving swallowing function.

Objective To compare the effects of sequential Exoview and Mimics three-dimensional reconstruction with fluorescence method in thoracoscopic pulmonary segmentectomy.Methods The clinical data of 160 patients with lung cancer admitted to our hospital from January 2020 to June 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.Among them,79 patients who underwent thoracoscopic pulmonary segmentectomy with the sequential Exoview three-dimensional reconstruction and fluorescence method before the operation were classified as the Exoview group,and 81 patients who underwent thoracoscopic pulmonary segmentectomy with the sequential Mimics three-dimensional reconstruction and fluorescence method before the operation were classified as the Mimics group.The surgical completion status,the coincidence rate between the number of left and right pulmonary artery branches evaluated before operation and intraoperative findings,reconstruction time,segment display effect,general indicators of operation(operation time,intraoperative blood loss,number of lymph node dissection,thoracic tube placement time,postoperative hospital stay),pulmonary function[forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1),percentage of forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1%)]and complications were compared between the two groups.Results All patients in the two groups successfully completed thoracoscopic pulmonary segmentectomy,and indocyanine green was injected once in each group.The operation process was roughly consistent with the preoperative simulation,and no thoracotomy was performed.There was no statistically significant difference in the resection of lung segment between the two groups of patients(P>0.05).The coincidence rate between the number of left and right pulmonary artery branches evaluated before operation and intraoperative findings in the Exoview group was higher than that in the Mimics group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the segment display effect between the Exoview group and the Mimics group(P>0.05).The operation time and the reconstruction time in the Exoview group were shorter those that in the Mimics group,and the intraoperative blood loss was less than that in the Mimics group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the number of lymph node dissection,the thoracic tube placement time,or the postoperative hospital stay between the two groups(P>0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in FEV1 or FEV1%7 days after surgery compared with those before surgery(P>0.05).The FEV1 and FEV1%of patients in the Mimics group 7 days after surgery were lower than those beforesurgery(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in FEV1 or FEV1%between the Exoview group and the Mimics group before and 7 days after surgery(P>0.05).The total incidence of complications in the Exoview group was 1.27%,compared with 4.94%in the Mimics group,the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).Conclusion Both sequential Exoview and Mimics three-dimensional reconstruction with fluorescence method are safe and effective for thoracoscopic pulmonary segmentectomy,while Exoview has more advantages in preoperative assessment of the number of pulmonary artery branches,and it has shorter reconstruction time and operation time,with less impact on lung function.

Objective To prepare in-house coagulation factor Ⅷ(F Ⅷ)inhibitor-positive control material and evaluate its perform-ance.Methods Frozen plasma samples from hemophilia A patients with positive factor Ⅷ inhibitors were pooled,and diluted with Owren's Veronal Buffer(OVB)to 1 BU/mL of the inhibitor concentration in the mixture,then aliquoted and freeze-stored.The homo-geneity and stability of the in-house quality control material were verified,and its suitability was further assessed through intra-laborato-ry reproducibility among different technologists and inter-laboratory comparisons.Results Twenty-one aliquots were randomly tested for homogeneity assessment,yielding an average of 1.05 BU/mL(range 0.9-1.15 BU/mL),with a standard deviation(SD)of 0.083 and coefficient of variation(CV)of 7.90％.The freshly prepared inhibitor-positive control samples contained a concentration of 1.03 BU/mL.After storage at-80℃ for 24 hours,1 week,1 month,2 months,3 months,4 months,5 months,6 months,7 months,8 months,and 9 months,thawed the samples showed relative deviations of 9％,0％,10％,9％,14％,15％,6％,0％,-10％,-5％,and 2％,respectively.The intra-laboratory CV value from different technologists at this center was 7.28％,and the inter-labora-tory CV across different centers was 18.75％.Conclusion The prepared in-house positive control material of Factor Ⅷ inhibitor ex-hibited adequate uniformity and stability.

Objective To investigate the expression of ferritinophagy-related gene ELAV-like RNA binding protein 1(ELAVL1)in multiple myeloma(MM)and elucidate its diagnostic and prognostic value for MM.Methods First,we analyzed ELAVL1 expression level in healthy controls and MM patients using data from the GEO and TCGA databases.Subsequently,bone marrow specimens were collected from 28 newly diagnosed MM patients and 20 healthy controls,and qRT-PCR was employed to validate ELAVL1 expression.The diagnostic and prognostic potential of ELAVL1 was assessed using ROC curve analysis and Kaplan-Meier survival curves.Additionally,univariate and multivariate COX regression analyses were performed to identify independent risk factors for MM prognosis.Finally,KEGG and GO enrichment analyses were performed using the DAVID online platform.Results The level of ELAVL1 expression was significantly higher in newly diagnosed MM patients and refractory/relapsed MM patients than in the healthy controls(P＜0.001).Moreover,ELAVL1 expression was positively correlated with the International Staging System(ISS)stage of MM(P＜0.01).Furthermore,qRT-PCR validation confirmed that ELAVL1 expression was elevated in the 28 newly diagnosed MM patients compared to the 20 healthy controls(P＜0.001).ROC curve analysis demonstrated that ELAVL1 could effectively differentiate between newly diagnosed MM patients,healthy controls,and MGUS patients(P＜0.001 and P=0.000 2,respectively).Survival analysis revealed that high ELAVL1 expression was associated with shorter progression-free survival(P=0.0141)and overall survival(P=0.008 0).Univariate and multivariate COX regression analyses identified high ELAVL1 expression as an independent risk factor for poor MM prognosis(P=0.005 0).KEGG analysis suggested that ELAVL1 might be involved in the Hippo and MAPK signaling pathways.Conclusion High ELAVL1 expression in MM may serve as a biomarker for diagnosis and poor prognosis.ELAVL1 may promote MM initiation and progression via the Hippo and MAPK signaling pathways.

Objective:To explore the effects of Qingre Qudu Decoction for fumigation combined with three-gap drainage on wound healing and serum inflammatory factors in patients with acute perianal abscess.Methods:Randomized controlled trial was conducted. A total of 117 patients with acute perianal abscess in the hospital were enrolled as the observation objects between August 2022 and May 2024. According to random number table method, they were divided into observation group (59 cases) and control group (58 cases). Both groups received three-gap drainage therapy. On basis of three-gap drainage, control group was given potassium permanganate, while observation group was given Qingre Qudu Decoction for fumigation. All patients were treated for 14 d. The growth of granulation tissue and wound secretions before and after treatment was evaluated. VAS scale was used to evaluate the degree of incision pain, and Wexner score was used to assess incontinence; ELISA was used to detect serum activator A (ACTA), immunoturbidimetry was used to detect serum CRP, and radioimmunoassay was used to detect serum IL-6 levels. The occurrence of complications and abscess recurrence during treatment was recorded, and clinical efficacy was evaluated.Results:The total effective rate of the observation group was 96.61% (57/59), while that of the control group was 82.76% (48/58), with statistical significance ( χ2=6.10, P=0.014). After treatment, scores of granulation tissue growth and wound secretions in observation group, and scores of VAS and Wexner incontinence in observation group were lower than those in the control group ( t=9.66, 5.00, 7.98, 3.65, P<0.001), and wound healing time was shorter than that in control group ( t=8.41, P<0.001). After treatment, levels of serum ACTA, CRP and IL-6 in observation group were lower than those in control group ( t=15.30, 2.08, 19.34, P<0.01 or P<0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications in the observation group was 6.78% (4/59), while in the control group it was 27.59% (16/58), with statistical significance ( χ2=8.93, P=0.003). Conclusion:Qingre Qudu Decoction for fumigation combined with three-gap drainage can relieve postoperative incision pain, inhibit inflammatory response, accelerate the recovery of wound and promote the recovery of anal function and improve clinical efficacy.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of mild hypothermia arch-clamping technique in the surgical treatment of DeBakey Type Ⅰ aortic dissection.Methods:From December 2019 to November 2023, a total of 97 patients with DeBakey type Ⅰ aortic dissection who underwent arch-clamping technique in Beijing Anzhen Hospital were prospectively enrolled. The patients were divided into mild hypothermia group and moderate hypothermia group according to the lowest rectal temperature during the circulatory arrest period. The perioperative data of the two groups were compared, and complex adverse outcomes consisting of 30-day death, stroke, paraplegia and CRRT were used as the primary endpoint. Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine the predictors of clinical adverse outcomes. Survival analysis was evaluated by the Kaplan- Meier method. Results:The overall incidence of complex adverse outcomes was 20.6%, 13.6% in the mild hypothermia group and 22.7% in the moderate hypothermia group( P=0.535), and the incidence of stroke was 4.6% and 6.7%( P=1.000), respectively. The cardiopulmonary bypass time and aortic-clamping time in the mild hypothermia group were significantly shortened (147.5 min vs. 163.0 min, P=0.032; 89 min vs. 99 min, P=0.042). There was no significant difference in long-term survival and reintervention between the two groups(91.9% vs. 89.3%, P=0.87; 9.1% vs. 5.3%, P=0.13). Conclusion:Mild hypothermia arch-clamping technique is a safe and effective method for the treatment of DeBakey type Ⅰ aortic dissection, with satisfactory short-term and long-term efficacy.

Objective:To explore and model risk factors in patients with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) after acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD), and to develop and validate a personalized machine learning model to assess risk factors and predict MACEs in these patients.Methods:Clinical data of patients who attended Beijing Anzhen Hospital and underwent surgical treatment for ATAAD from January 2018 to October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Using MACEs as the endpoint, 70% of these patients were randomly divided into the training set and the remaining 30% into the validation set. LASSO regression was applied to explore key clinical variables in the training set. The optimal predictive model was selected from nine machine learning algorithms based on area under the curve. And Shapley Additive explanations was used to elucidate the predictive model. Results:Of the 481 patients included in this study, 135 (35.6%) patients experienced an endpoint event. By combining the results of the training and validation sets, when assessing the validity of the single model with the highest predictive accuracy for the outcome, it was shown that the logistic model (0.774, 95% CI: 0.717-0.830) was the most effective in the combined effect and had a high model accuracy (0.743, 95% CI: 0.720-0.766). According to the results of the LASSO, the factors most associated with postoperative MACEs were history of cerebrovascular disease, coronary artery involvement, shock status on admission to the operating room, FDP, PLT, CPB, ascending aortic clamping, and age. Conclusion:In this study, nine machine learning models were developed to predict the occurrence of postoperative MACEs in patients with acute type A aortic dissection. The logistic model performed significantly better compared to other algorithms. Our study successfully predicted postoperative MACES and identified the factors most associated with MACEs.
