Stroke ranks as the third leading cause of death and the fourth leading cause of disability worldwide. Its high disability rate and prolonged recovery period not only severely impact patients' quality of life but also impose a significant burden on families and society. Primary prevention is the cornerstone of stroke control, as early intervention on risk factors can effectively reduce its incidence. Therefore, the development of predictive models for first-ever stroke risk holds substantial clinical value. In recent years, advancements in big data and artificial intelligence technologies have opened new avenues for stroke risk prediction. This article reviews the current research status of traditional methods and machine learning models in predicting first-ever stroke risk and outlines future development trends from three perspectives: First, emphasis should be placed on technological innovation by incorporating advanced algorithms such as deep learning and large models to further enhance the accuracy of predictive models. Second, there is a need to diversify data types and optimize model architectures to construct more comprehensive and precise predictive models. Lastly, particular attention should be given to the clinical validation of models in real-world settings. This not only enhances the robustness and generalizability of the models but also promotes physicians' understanding of predictive models, which is crucial for their application and dissemination.

Objective To evaluate the application of evidence-based perioperative patient-controlled analgesia(PCA)management in patients with liver cancer receiving transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE)treatment.Methods By using the application model of clinical evidence-based practice,the review indicators were formulated based on the best evidence.The baseline assessment was conducted,the barrier factors were analyzed,the best clinical decision was made,the implementation steps of PCA management,including training,monitoring,education,etc.were refined,and two rounds of clinical review were carried out.The knowledge-belief-practice level and the implementation of review indicators in 50 medical and nursing staff engaged in PCA management,as well as the changes in pain scores,the incidence of adverse reactions due to PCA management,and the patient's satisfaction in 159 patients after the application of evidence were compared with their corresponding values determined before the application of evidence.Results After implementing the evidence-based practice plan and applying the evidence,at multiple time points the pain scores and the incidences of adverse reactions were decreased significantly(P＜0.05),the patient's satisfaction increased remarkably(P＜0.01),the execution rate of medical and nursing staff for the review indicators were strikingly increased(P＜0.01),and the knowledge-belief-practice level concerning PCA management was prominently improved(P＜0.01).Conclusion The implementation of perioperative PCA management in patients with liver cancer receiving TACE treatment can help to reduce the perioperative pain level,improve the patient discomfort,increase the patient's satisfaction degree,and improve the ability of medical staff in performing PCA management and evidence-based practices.

A 48-year-old woman was treated with toripalimab for triple negative breast cancer.She developed symptoms of pollakiuria and urinary urgency after 1st cycle of toripalimab,and was hospitalized for severe abdominal pain after 2nd circle of treatment,after symptomatic treatment,the condition improved.However,after the 3rd,4th,and 5th cycles of medication,the symptoms recurred.The symptoms did not reappear after discontinuing toripalimab.Therefore,ureteritis associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors(ICI)was considered based on case characteristics,urine routine,urine culture,ultrasound and CT findings.According to Naranjo's Assessment Scale,the association between toripalimab and ureteritis was considered"definite".The possibility of ureteritis associated with ICI should be considered if symptoms of urinary tract irritation occur during the use of toripalimab,and urine analysis,urine culture,and imaging examination should be conducted to detect such adverse reactions earlier.

Primers and probes were designed based on the conserved regions of Senecavirus A(SVA),foot-and-mouth disease virus(FMDV),and porcine teschovirus(PTV)and used to devel-op a TaqMan fluorescent quantitative PCR method for detecting the above-mentioned three viru-ses.The triplex fluorescent quantitative PCR system was developed using recombinant positive plasmids containing conserved sequences of the three viruses as templates.After optimizing the conditions,the specificity,sensitivity,repeatability,standard curve,and mixed infection model were evaluated,and the constructed triplex fluorescent quantitative PCR was used for clinical detection.The results showed that this method could specifically detect SVA,FMDV and PTV without cross-reactivity with other pathogens with the minimal detection concentrations for SVA,FMDV,and PTV as low as 1X101 copies/μL,respectively.The coefficients of variation within and between groups were less than 5％.Furthermore,none of the three viruses were detected in 126 samples.The above results indicate that this method is highly specific,sensitive,and stable,making it suit-able for clinical detection.

With the intensification of population aging, type 2 diabetes has emerged as a significant global public health concern, particularly in developing countries.Epidemiological data indicate that the elderly population faces a higher risk of diabetes, accompanied by an increasing incidence rate.Due to the unique pathological characteristics and comorbid chronic diseases prevalent among elderly diabetes patients, polypharmacy is both common and often unavoidable.Inappropriate polypharmacy poses heightened health risks for patients and complicates clinical management, underscoring the urgent need to optimize intervention strategies.Effective approaches include regular medication reviews, adjustments to blood glucose control targets, and the development of personalized deprescribing plans informed by comprehensive geriatric assessments.While some interventions have demonstrated positive effects in reducing potentially inappropriate medications, addressing prescription omissions, and enhancing medication adherence, their capacity to yield significant clinical improvements requires further validation.Future research should prioritize the identification of the most effective interventions for high-risk populations.

Objective:To observe and analyze the correlations between aqueous humor cytokine concentrations and disorganization of retinal inner layers (DRIL), as well as postoperative visual acuity, in patients with idiopathic epiretinal membrane (iERM).Methods:A prospective clinical study. From November 2022 to October 2024, 40 eyes of 40 patients diagnosed with iERM at Ophthalmology Center of Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital (Affiliated People's Hospital) underwent cataract surgery alone or combined with pars plana vitrectomy (iERM group) were enrolled; 19 eyes of 19 patients undergoing cataract surgery alone during the same period served as the control group. All eyes underwent best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) testing and swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT). BCVA was assessed using a logarithmic visual acuity chart and converted to the logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) for statistical analysis. Central macular thickness (CMT) was measured using SS-OCT. The iERM group was further subdivided into DRIL-positive and DRIL-negative subgroups (21 eyes and 19 eyes, respectively), based on the presence or absence of DRIL. Aqueous humor samples were collected preoperatively from eyes in both the iERM and control groups. Concentrations of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1, TGF-β2, TGF-β3, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-AB, hepatocyte growth factor, fibroblast growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A), placental growth factor (PLGF), glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), angiopoietin (Ang)-1, Ang-2, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were measured. Follow-up examinations using the same equipment and methods were performed at 1 month postoperatively. Aqueous cytokine levels were compared between the iERM group, control group, DRIL-positive subgroup, and DRIL-negative subgroup. Correlations between aqueous cytokine levels in the iERM group and BCVA or CMT were also analyzed. Intergroup comparisons utilized the Mann-Whitney U test; correlations between variables were assessed using Spearman's rank correlation analysis. Results:Compared to the control group, the iERM group exhibited significantly higher aqueous concentrations of TGF-β1, TGF-β3, PDGF-AB, PLGF, GDNF, ICAM-1, Ang-1, and TNF-α ( P<0.05). Compared to the DRIL-negative subgroup, the DRIL-positive subgroup showed significantly elevated aqueous concentrations of TGF-β3, PDGF-AB, PLGF, GDNF, ICAM-1, Ang-1, Ang-2, TNF-α, and IL-6 ( P<0.05). Significant differences were observed in logMAR BCVA ( P=0.028) and CMT ( P<0.001) within the iERM group between preoperative and 1-month postoperative measurements. LogMAR BCVA differed significantly between the DRIL-positive and DRIL-negative subgroups ( P=0.048). Correlation analysis revealed that baseline aqueous levels of VEGF-A and IL-6 in eyes with DRIL were positively correlated with postoperative BCVA ( r=0.324, 0.452; P=0.042, 0.003). No significant correlation was found between CMT and any cytokine ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Aqueous humor cytokines are closely associated with DRIL in iERM patients. IL-6 and VEGF-A may serve as potential predictive biomarkers for early postoperative visual recovery.
