Objective To analyze the risk factors associated with the occurrence of rectal neuroendocrine tumors (RNETs) and construct a risk prediction model. Methods Clinical data of patients who underwent electronic colonoscopy were collected. The clinical information on patients with and without RNETs were compared, and potential risk factors for RNETs were identified. Binary logistic regression was performed to analyze the relevant risk factors and construct a risk prediction model. Results Among 164 patients, 66 were diagnosed with RNETs, and 98 who did not have such a condition were randomly selected. Univariate logistic regression analysis revealed that age, fatty liver, anxiety and depression, total cholesterol, triglyceride levels, and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) were significant factors influencing the occurrence of RNETs (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified age (P=0.015), anxiety and depression (P=0.031), cholesterol level (P=0.009), fatty liver (P=0.001), and CEA (P<0.001) as independent risk factors for RNETs. The participants were randomly divided into training and test sets at a 7:3 ratio. The training set was used to construct a nomogram-based risk prediction model, and the testing set was used for internal validation. The area under the curve values for the training and testing sets were 0.843 and 0.772, respectively (P>0.05). These findings indicate a good discriminative performance. The calibration curves for the training and testing sets were in good agreement with the 45° standard line, which suggests that the predicted probabilities were consistent with the actual outcomes. Decision curve analysis showed that the model provided a high net benefit within a threshold range of 0.2 to 0.7 for clinical decision making. Conclusion Young age, fatty liver, high CEA levels, high cholesterol levels, and anxiety and depression are independent risk factors for RNETs. The nomogram model constructed based on these risk factors exhibits a strong capability to predict the occurrence of RNETs, and clinical intervention can be considered based on the predicted probability values.

Objective To retrieve and evaluate the evidence related to surgical instrument management,and to integrate the evidence to provide an evidence-based basis for clinical surgical instrument management practice.Methods Evidence on surgical instrument management,including guidelines,expert consensuses,and clinical decision-making,was systematically searched from domestic and international databases and related websites.The search timeframe was from database construction to 4 November 2024.Literature was screened and evaluated,and the evidence was integrated by 2 researchers.Results A total of 16 papers were included,including 2 systematic evaluations,1 class experimental study,2 clinical decisions,4 expert consensuses,5 guidelines,and 2 evidence summaries,resulting in a total of 33 pieces of evidence in 5 areas,including requirements for surgical instrument management,general principles of surgical instrument handling,logistics and supply chain management of surgical instruments,surgical instrument pre-treatment and cleaning,disinfection,and sterilisation processes,and personnel training.Conclusion This study summarises the best available evidence on the management of surgical instruments in hospitals and provides an evidence-based basis for healthcare professionals to manage surgical instruments,thereby improving the quality and efficiency of surgical instrument disposal.

Objective To explore the efficacy of a model combining clinicopathological characteristics and multiparametric MRI features for predicting BRCA-mutated breast cancer(BC).Methods A total of 256 BC patients were retrospectively selected and divided into BRCA mutation group(116 cases)and BRCA wild group(140 cases)based on the BRCA results.Chi-square tests or independ-ent sample t-tests were used to compare the differences in clinicopathological characteristics and multiparametric MRI features between the BRCA mutation group and the wild group.Risk factors for BRCA-mutated BC were identified through univariate and multivariate logistic regression ananlyses,and a combined predictive model was constructed.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to ana-lyze the diagnostic efficacy of the model.Results There were statistically significant differences in T stage,human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER-2),Ki-67,non-mass enhancement,enhancement pattern,time-signal intensity curve(TIC)type,and apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC)values between the BRCA mutation group and the wild group.Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that T stage,HER-2,Ki-67,non-mass enhancement,enhancement pattern,TIC type,and ADC values were risk factors for BRCA-mutated BC(P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that T stage,HER-2,Ki-67,enhancement pattern,and TIC type were independent risk factors for BRCA-mutated BC(P<0.05).The combined model incorporating T stage,HER-2,Ki-67,enhancement pattern,and TIC type had the best diagnostic efficacy in predicting BRCA-mutated BC,with an area under the curve(AUC)of 0.751.Conclusion The combined model integrating T stage,HER-2,Ki-67,enhancement pattern,and TIC type has good efficacy in predicting BRCA-mutated BC.

This study investigated the effects and underlying mechanisms of the luteolin-naringenin combination(LN)on liver injury induced by acetaminophen(APAP).Forty-eight Kunming mice were randomly allocated into six groups:a normal control group,an APAP-induced liver injury model group,a positive drug treatment group,and three LN treatment groups with low,medium,and high doses.After the final drug administration,the mice were fasted for 12 hours prior to eu-thanasia for sample collection.Serum transaminase activity,oxidative stress indices,and hematoxy-lin-eosin(HE)staining were assessed to evaluate the effects of LN on APAP-induced hepatic inju-ry.Additionally,Western blot analysis was conducted to examine the expression levels of sphingo-sine kinase 1(SPHK1)and endoplasmic reticulum stress(ERS)-related proteins,thereby elucida-ting the potential mechanisms by which LN mitigates APAP-induced liver injury.The results dem-onstrated that varying concentrations of LN effectively ameliorated serum aminotransferase activi-ty and oxidative stress levels induced by APAP in a dose-dependent manner.Histopathological ex-amination via HE staining revealed significant improvement in APAP-induced liver tissue injury following treatment with different concentrations of LN.Furthermore,Western blot analysis indi-cated that the protein expressions of SPHK1,CHOP,p-IRE1α,ATF6,p-PERK,p-eIF2α,and ATF4 were markedly reduced after administration of various concentrations of LN.The results demonstrate that LN exhibits a significant protective effect against APAP-induced liver injury by inhibiting the SPHK1-mediated aberrant expression of ERS-related molecules.This study high-lights the importance of targeting SPHK1 in the treatment of APAP liver injury and provides a no-vel therapeutic approach through the multi-target and multi-pathway combination of monomers.

Approach-avoidance conflict(AAC)refers to the internal conflict that individuals experi-ence when faced with conflicting approach or avoidance thoughts.It reveals some characteristics of mental disorders,such as anxiety,depression,and addiction represented by excessive tendencies of approach or avoidance.The function of the cortico-limbic-striatal system influences behavioral choices at the neural level during the onset of AAC,and the development of related behavioral paradigms that can better represent AAC behaviors is critical to evaluating the efficacy of drugs and guiding the development of new drugs.This paper summarizes the neural mechanisms,behavioral paradigms,and applications in behavioral pharmacology related to AAC behaviors from the perspective of psychopharmacology with a view to providing new perspectives and methods for the diagnosis and treatment of related neuro-psychiatric disorders.

BackgroundPatients after percutaneous coronary intervention （PCI） are prone to experience depression， which has been shown to significantly affect patients' quality of recovery in postoperative period. Resourcefulness plays an important role between stress and depression， yet there is insufficient research evidence on the predictive effect of intellectual resourcefulness levels on depressive symptoms among patients undergoing PCI. ObjectiveTo investigate the cross-lagged effect between level of resourcefulness and depressive symptoms among patients after PCI， so as to provide references for alleviating depressive symptoms in patients after PCI. MethodsA total of 363 patients who had undergone PCI in Tangshan Gongren Hospital from September to December 2019 were selected using random sampling technique. All participants were subjected to complete Chinese Resourcefulness Scale （CRS） and Chinese version of Cardiac Depression Scale （C-CDS） at both baseline and two years after PCI. A structural equation model was constructed to determine the cross-lagged effect between the level of resourcefulness and depressive symptoms in patients. ResultsMale patients scored higher on CRS （t=-19.871， P<0.01） and lower on C-CDS （t=25.557， P<0.01） after two years of PCI compared with female patients after PCI. Correlation analysis indicated that the baseline CRS score was positively correlated with two years after PCI CRS score （r=0.550， P<0.01）， C-CDS score of baseline was positively correlated with two years after PCI C-CDS score （r=0.524， P<0.01）， baseline CRS score was negatively correlated with C-CDS scores at both baseline （r=-0.717， P<0.01） and two years after PCI （r=-0.472， P<0.01）， and two years after PCI， CRS score was negatively correlation with C-CDS score （r=-0.618， P<0.01）. The cross-lagged analysis revealed that baseline CRS score significantly predicted CRS score of two years after PCI （β=0.382， P<0.01） and C-CDS score of two years after PCI （β=-0.200， P<0.01）. Baseline C-CDS score significantly predicted C-CDS score of two years after PCI （β=0.381， P<0.01） and CRS score of two years after PCI （β=-0.235， P<0.01）. There was a reciprocal relationship between baseline CRS score and baseline C-CDS score （β=-0.717， P<0.01）. ConclusionThe established cross-lagged model yields the presence of a reciprocal prediction of level of resourcefulness and depressive symptoms measured in patients at two time points. The higher the baseline level of resourcefulness， the lighter the depressive symptoms experienced by patients two years after PCI surgery.The more severe the baseline depressive symptoms， the lower the patients' level of resourcefulness two years after PCI surgery.［Funded by Project of Hebei Provincial Department of Science and Technology （number， 182777154）］
