Risk prediction models for postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) can assist healthcare professionals in assessing the likelihood of PPCs occurring after surgery, thereby supporting rapid decision-making. This study evaluated the merits, limitations, and challenges of these models, focusing on model types, construction methods, performance, and clinical applications. The findings indicate that current risk prediction models for PPCs following lung cancer surgery demonstrate a certain level of predictive effectiveness. However, there are notable deficiencies in study design, clinical implementation, and reporting transparency. Future research should prioritize large-scale, prospective, multi-center studies that utilize multiomics approaches to ensure robust data for accurate predictions, ultimately facilitating clinical translation, adoption, and promotion.

During the Yan’an period, the party and government employed forms of health propaganda that were popular among the masses, focusing on superb medical skills and public feedback, as well as the strategy of skillfully using narrative techniques to carry out doctor-patient communication, which collectively created the image of good doctors characterized by “firm belief, superb medical skills, effective communication, and a friendly and approachable demeanor.” They were not only guardians of the people’s health but also the solid pillars of the success of the revolutionary cause. In the journey of the new era, contemporary medical professionals should deeply grasp the spiritual core of good doctors in the Yan’an period, uphold the leadership of the Communist Party of China, harbor a benevolent heart, and earn the trust and respect of patients through sincere humanistic care and superb medical services, so as to collectively promote the development of medical undertakings and contribute their strength to building a healthy China.

【Objective】 To investigate the relationship between the initial serum ammonia level and the risk of ICU and hospital mortalities in critically ill patients without hepatic disease. 【Methods】 A retrospective cohort study was conducted among patients admitted to the eICU Collaborative Research Database (eICU-CRD) for a single admission who had serum ammonia test records within 48 hours of the first ICU admission and had no hepatic disease. The age, sex, ethnicity, Acute Physiologic and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅳ score (APACHE Ⅳ score), treatment methods, complications, and outcomes were extracted. Univariable and multivariable Logistic regression were used to analyze the relationship between serum ammonia level and the risk of mortality. Interactions were used to analyze whether the relationship between serum ammonia level and the risk of mortality differed in subgroups of APACHE Ⅳ scores, age, sex, and ethnicity; subgroup analyses were made. 【Results】 A total of 1 674 patients were included. The multivariable Logistic regression showed that for every 10 μg/dL increase in ammonia, the risk of ICU death increased by 6.9% (OR=1.069, 95% CI: 1.036-1.104), and the risk of hospital death increased by 4.6% (OR=1.046, 95% CI: 1.017-1.076). The risk of ICU death was 1.7 times greater in patients with initial ammonia level of 49-82 μg/dL than in those with <49 μg/dL (OR=1.700, 95% CI: 1.165-2.482), the risk of ICU death was 2.862 times greater in patients with a level of ≥82 μg/dL compared to those with <49 μg/dL (OR=2.862, 95% CI: 1.792-4.570), and the risk of hospital death was 1.844 times higher in the ≥82 μg/dL group than in the <49 μg/dL group (OR=1.844, 95% CI: 1.213-2.804). There were no significant differences between initial ammonia level and the risk of mortalities in different subgroups of APACHEⅣ scores, age, sex, or ethnicity. 【Conclusion】 In critically ill patients without hepatic disease, elevated initial serum ammonia level after ICU admission is associated with a high risk of ICU and hospital mortality.

Objective:To investigate the neuropsychological and imaging features of patients with posterior cortical atrophy (PCA).Methods:Patients of PCA, dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), typical Alzheimer′s disease (t-AD) who were diagnosed in the Department of Neurology, Huashan Hospital, Fudan University from September 27, 2019, to September 24, 2021 were enrolled, and the normal controls who visited the Outpatient and Physical Examination Centers of Huashan Hospital, Fudan University and Rizhao People′s Hospital at the same time were enrolled, too. Neuropsychological assessments, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET)/CT data of the 4-group subjects were collected. Variance analysis was used to compare the differences in neuropsychological performance among the 4 groups, and the imaging features of PCA patients were summarized.Results:Eleven PCA patients, 17 DLB patients, 31 t-AD patients, and 11 normal controls were included in the study. The cognitive function of patients in the PCA group [Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score 13.52±1.81; Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score 7.06±1.72] was significantly impaired compared to the normal control group (MMSE score 27.85±1.75, t=-6.561, P<0.001; MoCA score 23.60±1.59, t=-7.968, P<0.001]. However, there was no statistically significant difference compared to the DLB group and the t-AD group. Patients in the PCA group exhibited more severe impairments in attention, executive function, and language compared to the DLB group (Trail Making Test A score: 298.86±16.16 vs 110.07±18.62, t=9.980, P<0.001; Trail Making Test B score: 305.51±18.89 vs 230.34±23.59, t=2.865, P=0.024; Boston Naming Test score: 8.67±1.53 vs 15.66±1.56, t=-2.682, P=0.013) and the t-AD group (148.91±12.77, t=7.071, P<0.001; 200.78±19.34, t=3.789, P=0.004; 15.15±1.05, t=-2.544, P=0.016). Scores for visuospatial function [PCA group: 1(0, 1), normal control group: 3(3, 3), Z=-4.023, P<0.001] and visual perception [PCA group: 0(0, 1), normal control group: 35(34, 36), Z=-3.704, P<0.001] were significantly lower in the PCA group compared to the normal control group. The cranial MRI findings of PCA patients showed atrophy of the parietal and occipital lobes, with less obvious atrophy of the medial temporal lobe, which can be distinguished from t-AD. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT of the PCA patients showed a relative reduced glucose metabolism in the bilateral parietal lobe, occipital lobe and posterior cingulate gyrus, while the 18F-florbetapir PET/CT showed deposition of amyloid protein in the bilateral frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, and cingulate gyrus. Conclusions:PCA patients exhibit neuropsychological characteristics of visuospatial dysfunction, along with impairments in various cognitive domains such as memory, attention, and executive functions. The typical MRI feature is parietal occipital lobe atrophy, and the PET/CT findings are consistent with metabolic changes in AD.

10.A consensus on the management of allergy in kindergartens and primary schools
Chinese Journal of School Health 2023;44(2):167-172
Abstract
Allergic diseases can occur in all systems of the body, covering the whole life cycle, from children to adults and to old age, can be lifelong onset and even fatal in severe cases. Children account for the largest proportion of the victims of allergic disease, Children s allergies start from scratch, ranging from mild to severe, from less to more, from single to multiple systems and systemic performance, so the prevention and treatment of allergic diseases in children is of great importance, which can not only prevent high risk allergic conditions from developing into allergic diseases, but also further block the process of allergy. At present, there is no consensus on the management system of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools. The "Consensus on Allergy Management and Prevention in Kindergartens and Primary Schools", which includes the organizational structure, system construction and management of allergic children, provides evidence informed recommendations for the long term comprehensive management of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools, and provides a basis for the establishment of the prevention system for allergic children.
