Objective:To investigate the correlation between non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection by using the method of two-sample bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.Methods:Genetic variation data for NHL came from the Finnish database (FinnGen) Consortium 2021 public genome-wide association study (GWAS) dataset including 1 088 patients with NHL and 299 952 control subjects. The GWAS dataset for chronic HBV infection was derived from GWAS analysis published in 2021, including 145 NHL patients and 351 740 control subjects. NHL was used as an exposure factor, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) significantly associated with NHL was used as an instrumental variable (IV), chronic HBV infection was used as an outcome variable. The two-sample MR analysis was performed by using inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method. Chronic HBV infection was taken as an exposure factor, SNP significantly associated with chronic HBV infection was taken as IV, and NHL was taken as outcome variable, and then reverse two-sample MR analysis was performed. The IVW method used the inverse variance of each IV as the weight to fit, and the ratio method was used to measure SNP one by one and make weighted regression analysis, so as to obtain the overall estimate. MR-Egger regression and the weighted median (WME) method were also used to supplement the IVW method. In sensitivity analysis, leave-one-out sensitivity analysis was used to evaluate the impact of a single SNP. Cochran Q test was used to analyze the heterogeneity of the selected IV. MR-Egger regression was used to measure the average horizontal pleiotropy of IV, and the P-value of directivity was calculated. The MR-pleiotropy residual sum and outlier (MR-PRESSO) Global Test was used to exclude possible horizontal pleiotropic outliers and reduce bias. Results:In the leave-one-out sensitivity analysis, SNP with significant effects on causal associations was excluded. In forward MR analysis, IVs were 10 SNPs associated with NHL; the IVW method indicated that there was no causal association between NHL and chronic HBV infection ( OR = 0.979, 95% CI: 0.925-1.036, P = 0.465). MR-Egger regression ( OR = 0.992, 95% CI: 0.926-1.062, P = 0.825) and WME method ( OR = 0.992, 95% CI: 0.934-1.055, P = 0.805) were used as supplementary methods to obtain the consistent results. In sensitivity analysis, Cochran Q test showed no heterogeneity among IVs (IVW method: P = 0.271, MR-Egger regression: P = 0.239). Horizontal pleiotropy was not found in the MR-Egger regression (intercept was -0.01, P = 0.778) and the MR-PRESSO Global Test ( P > 0.05), suggesting robust results. In the reverse MR analysis, IVs were 8 SNPs associated with NHL; the IVW method ( OR = 1.117, 95% CI: 0.942-1.324, P = 0.202) also found no significant causal relationship between chronic HBV infection and NHL; MR-Egger regression ( OR = 0.777, 95% CI: 0.450-1.343, P = 0.401) and WME method ( OR = 1.120, 95% CI: 0.887-1.415, P = 0.351) also showed similar risk estimates. Sensitivity analysis also suggested the consistency and reliability of the results. Cochran Q test showed no heterogeneity among IVs (IVW method: P = 0.775, MR-Egger regression: P = 0.903). Horizontal pleiotropy was not found by MR-Egger regression (intercept was 0.102, P = 0.548) and MR-PRESSO Global Test ( P > 0.05). Conclusions:MR analysis suggests no causal relationship between NHL and chronic HBV infection.

Objective To explore the relationship between triglyceride-glucose index(TyG)and acute ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion(AIS-LVO)of anterior circulation.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on patients with anterior circulation AIS-LVO who underwent emergency endovascular thrombectomy at Neurovascular Center of The First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University from Jan.2018 to Dec.2019.According to modified Rankin scale(mRS)score 90 d after operation,the patients were assigned to favorable outcome group(mRS score 0-2)or unfavorable outcome group(mRS score 3-6),and the TyG was compared.According to the median of TyG,the patients were assigned to low-TyG group(TyG＜8.57)or high-TyG group(TyG ≥8.57),and the clinical data,laboratory indexes,and imaging characteristics were compared.Receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of TyG for poor prognosis.Results A total of 135 patients were enrolled,with 72 in the favorable outcome group and 63 in the unfavorable outcome group.The TyG of the unfavorable outcome group was significantly higher than that of the favorable outcome group(8.82+0.63 vs 8.43+0.60,P＜0.001).There were 67 patients in the low-TyG group and 68 in the high-TyG group.Compared with the low-TyG group,the proportion of patients with hyperlipidemia history(P=0.003),systolic blood pressure at admission(P=0.018),fasting blood glucose level(P＜0.001),and triglyceride level(P＜0.001)were significantly higher in the high-TyG group,the infarct core volume was significantly larger(P=0.025),the high density lipoprotein-cholesterol level was significantly lower(P=0.013),and the mRS score 90 d after operation was significantly higher(3[1,5]vs 1[0,5],P=0.049).The TyG had certain predictive value for poor prognosis in anterior circulation AIS-LVO patients(area under curve value=0.662,95％confidence interval 0.571-0.753).Conclusion TyG is elevated in anterior circulation AIS-LVO patients with poor prognosis,and may be a potential prognostic indicator for anterior circulation AIS-LVO patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate risk factors for postoperative sore throat in patients with double-lumen endotracheal intubation. MethodsThe data used in this post-hoc analysis were prospectively collected from a randomized， controlled trial. Age from 18 to 65 years old， ASAI-Ⅲ patients undergoing general anesthesia with a double-lumen endotracheal tube were enrolled. The perioperative data collected retrospectively were as follows： gender， age， smoking history， endotracheal tube diameter， duration of endotracheal tube， dose of Sufentanil， use of Flurbiprofen Axetil， cough after extubation， etc..Dynamometer was applied to assess extubation force. According to occurrence of postoperative sore throat， patients were divided into two groups： those who experienced sore throats and those who did not. Comparative analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to screen the risk factors. ROC curve was used for predicting the predictive value of risk factors. ResultsAmong the 163 patients ， 74 （45.4%） had postoperative sore throat vs 89 （54.6%） not had. Multivariate logistic regression showed female ［OR95%CI=3.83（1.73， 8.50）， P=0.000 1］ and extubation force ［OR95%CI=1.78（1.45， 2.17）， P＜0.001］ were independent risk factors for postoperative sore throat. AUC value showed the extubation force was 0.773［95%CI（0.701， 0.846）， P＜0.001］. Youden index was 0.447， and the cut-off valve of extubation force was 13N. ConclusionFemale and extubation force were risk factors for sore throat in patients with double lumen endotracheal intubation.

Objective To analyze the expression levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3[25-(OH)D3],insulin-like growth factor 1(IGF-1)and complement C3 in children patients with Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura(HSP)and their predictive efficiency on disease progression.Methods A total of 102 children patients with HSP ad-mitted and treated in this hospital from June 2018 to June 2023 were selected as the study subjects and includ-ed in the observation group.They were divided into the mild group(35 cases),moderate group(41 cases)and severe group(26 cases)according to the severity degree.Additionally,50 healthy children undergoing physical examination during the same period served as the control group.The differences in serum 25-(OH)D3,IGF-1 and complement C3 levels were compared among the groups,as well as their correlations with the disease se-verity.Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the influencing factors of disease progression in chil-dren patients with HSP,and the value of 25-(OH)D3,IGF-1 and complement C3 in predicting disease progres-sion was assessed by using the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results The levels of 25-(OH)D3 and C3 in the observation group were lower than those in the control group,while the level of IGF-1 was higher than that in the control group(P＜0.05).The levels of 25-(OH)D3 and C3 in the severe group were lower than those in the mild group and moderate group,moreover the moderate group was lower than the mild group(P＜0.05).The level of IGF-1 in the severe group was higher than that in the mild group and moderate group,moreover the moderate group was higher than the mild group(P＜0.05).The Spearman correlation a-nalysis results indicated that the levels of 25-(OH)D3 and complement C3 were negatively correlated with dis-ease severity(r=-0.375,-0.576,P＜0.05),while the level of IGF-1 was positively correlated with the dis-ease severity(r=0.866,P＜0.05).The ROC curve analysis results revealed that the area under the curve(AUC)of the combined detection of 25-(OH)D3,complement C3 and IGF-1 for predicting the disease pro-gression was the maximal(0.888),the sensitivity was 81.4％,the specificity was 82.0％and the Youden in-dex was 0.634.Conclusion 25-(OH)D3,IGF-1 and complement C3 have the higher sensitivity and specificity in comprehensively assessing the disease progression of children patients with HSP,and possess the higher clinical value on the risk evaluation of the disease progress in the children patients with HSP.

Air lock module pressure control is a necessary step to balance the pressure inside and outside the spacecraft cabin and achieve the transfer of materials or personnel inside and outside the spacecraft cabin.The two main functions of the air lock module pressure control system are to reduce the pressure when leaving the chamber and increase the pressure when returning to the chamber.There are some methods such as releasing the gas in the chamber to vacuum or storing the gas in the chamber using containers.The control equipment for releasing gas is simple,but the gas is wasted.Gas storage requires temperature control and gas compressing equipment,but the gas is saved.There are some methods such as releasing gas from high-pressure vessels or releasing gas from nearby chamber.This article theoretically analyzes airlock module pressure controlling and provides several technical solutions for designing module pressure control systems.Releasing the gas to vacuum is suitable for spacecraft with a single sealed cabin while storing the gas is suitable for spacecraft with multi sealed cabins.Combined methods are also used in specific conditions.

Objective:To investigate the factors related to hypothyroidism induced by programmed death(PD)-1 treatment in elderly patients with cancer.Methods:A total of 193 older patients(≥60 years old)with advanced solid tumors who received PD-1 treatment between January 2018 and January 2021 at the Department of Oncology of Xiangyang Central Hospital were included in this study.The patients were divided into two groups based on whether they were diagnosed with hypothyroidism after PD-1 treatment: the hypothyroidism group(36 cases)and the non-hypothyroidism group(157 cases).The clinical data of both groups, including age, gender, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status(ECOG PS), PD-1 inhibitors, thyroid function, and thyroid antibody, were compared to analyze the risk factors associated with hypothyroidism.Results:Among the 193 patients, 36(18.7%)were diagnosed with hypothyroidism.The study found no significant differences between the two groups in terms of age, gender, ECOG PS, tumor type, and PD-1 type(all P>0.05).However, significant differences were observed in the baseline levels of thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH)and thyroid antibody subgroups(both P<0.05).The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that the presence of baseline anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody(TPOAb)( OR=20.256, 95% CI: 5.709-71.868, P<0.001), the presence of both baseline thyroglobulin antibody(TGAb)and TPOAb( OR=5.853, 95% CI: 1.475-23.227, P=0.012), and an increase in baseline TSH levels( OR=3.065, 95% CI: 1.049-8.959, P=0.041)were identified as risk factors for hypothyroidism induced by PD-1 treatment.On the other hand, there was no significant association between the presence of baseline TGAb and the occurrence of hypothyroidism( OR=1.373, 95% CI: 0.353-5.341, P=0.648). Conclusions:The incidence rate of hypothyroidism induced by PD-1 inhibitors is high among elderly patients with cancer.Additionally, the risk of hypothyroidism is higher in patients with elevated baseline TSH and positive TPOAb.Therefore, it is crucial to remain vigilant for the occurrence of hypothyroidism during PD-1 treatment.Timely diagnosis and treatment of hypothyroidism are necessary to minimize the incidence of adverse events.

A comprehensive understanding of the nutritional composition and active components of human milk are important for promoting infant health. However, in the design and implementation of scientific research on human milk, the lack of standardized research and implementation methods have led to the collection, storage, and testing processes of human milk samples being largely based on reference literature and practical experience. This has resulted in variability in the representativeness of human milk samples and differences in the comparability of research results between different studies. This article summarizes the principles and guidelines for the " Specification for collection and storage of human milk samples for research", published by the Chinese Nutrition Society on December 30, 2022, and discusses the feasibility and importance of standardized management in the process of scientific research on human milk.

Objective:To investigate the safety and risk factors of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) for pancreatic lesions.Methods:Five thousand one hundred and sixty patients who underwent EUS-FNA in the Department of Endoscopy, Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center from January 2012 to December 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. The incidence of adverse events was calculated, and independent risk factors were analyzed by univariate and logistic regression.Results:The incidences of postoperative pancreatitis, intraoperative bleeding and postoperative bleeding were 1.38% (68/4 930), 0.82% (42/5 143) and 0.78% (40/5 143) respectively. No perforation or death occurred. Age >60 years ( OR=0.581, 95% CI: 0.356-0.946, P=0.029), tumor located in the neck, body and tail ( OR=0.355, 95% CI: 0.194-0.652, P=0.001), lesion diameter of >20-40 mm ( OR=0.450, 95% CI: 0.227-0.893, P=0.023), and lesion diameter >40 mm ( OR=0.382, 95% CI: 0.168-0.869, P=0.022) were independent protective factors for postoperative pancreatitis. Transduodenal puncture ( OR=2.435, 95% CI: 1.319-4.496, P=0.005) was an independent risk factor for postoperative pancreatitis. Puncture for 3-4 pass ( OR=0.439,95% CI: 0.235-0.821, P=0.010), lesion diameter of >20-40 mm ( OR=0.154, 95% CI: 0.069-0.341, P<0.001), and lesion diameter >40 mm ( OR=0.326, 95% CI: 0.143-0.743, P=0.008) were independent protective factors for intraoperative bleeding. Fine-needle biopsy (FNB) needle ( OR=2.314, 95% CI: 1.189-4.502, P=0.014) was an independent risk factor for postoperative bleeding. Conclusion:EUS-FNA is a safe procedure with low incidence of adverse events. The occurrence of postoperative pancreatitis and intraoperative bleeding is mainly related to clinical characteristics of the lesion, while postoperative bleeding is related to the type of puncture needle.
