Objective To explore the application value of serum cystatin C(CysC)and cluster of differentiation 147(CD147)in predicting restenosis after intracranial artery stenosis stenting(ICASS)in patients with acute ischemic stroke(AIS).Methods A total of 151 AIS patients who received ICASS were selected as the study group,and 112 healthy individuals who underwent physical examinations during the same period were chosen as the control group.The study group was further divided into the restenosis group(30 cases)and the non-stenosis group(121 cases)based on the restenosis status within 6 months after ICASS.The serum CysC levels of the subjects were detected by immunoturbidimetry,and the serum CD147 levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify factors influencing restenosis after ICASS in AIS patients.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the application efficacy of serum CysC and CD147 levels in predicting restenosis after ICASS in AIS patients.Results Serum levels of CysC and CD147 were higher in the study group than those in the control group(P＜0.01).The proportion of patients with stenosis degree>75%and serum levels of CysC and CD147 were higher in the restenosis group than those in the non-stenosis group(P＜0.01).The degree of stenosis>75%and the increased serum levels of CysC and CD147 were risk factors for restenosis after ICASS in AIS patients(P＜0.01).ROC curve analysis showed that serum CysC and CD147 levels independently predicted the AUC of AIS patients with restenosis after ICASS were 0.845 and 0.850,respectively,and the combined predicted AUC was 0.942.The combined prediction efficiency was significantly better than that of single indicator prediction(P＜0.05).Conclusion The increased levels of serum CysC and CD147 in AIS patients are risk factors for restenosis after ICASS,and the combination of the two is more effective in predicting intracranial artery restenosis after ICASS in AIS patients.

Objective:To detect the serum levels of 25(OH)D,miR-125b-5p,hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α)and vascular endothelial growth factor A(VEGFA)in patients with multiple myeloma(MM),and explore the role of miR-125b-5p/HIF-1α pathway in the involvement of vitamin D deficiency in the pathogenesis of MM.Methods:Fifty three newly diagnosed/relapsed MM patients admitted to the department of hematology of our hospital from October 2021 to December 2023 were included.Meanwhile,25 healthy individuals matched in gender and age from our hospital's Health Management Center were selected as controls.The serum level of 25(OH)D was monitored by mass spectrometry,the serum level of miR-125b-5p was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR,and serum levels of HIF-1α and VEGFA were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The levels of 25(OH)D,miR-125b-5p,HIF-1α,and VEGFA were compared between the two groups.According to the level of 25(OH)D,the MM patients were divided into vitamin D deficiency group(＜20 ng/ml)and vitamin D non-deficiency group(≥ 20 ng/ml),and the levels of miR-125b-5p,HIF-1α,and VEGFA were compared between the two groups.The correlations between 25(OH)D,miR-125b-5p,HIF-1α and VEGFA were analyzed.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis was used to determine the diagnostic value of25(OH)D combined with miR-125b-5p for newly diagnosed MM.Results:The level of 25(OH)D in MM patients was significantly lower than that in control group(P＜0.01).There was no significant difference in 25(OH)D level between newly diagnosed and relapsed MM patients(P＞0.05).Compared with the control group,the level of miR-125b-5p was significantly reduced in MM patients(P＜0.01),while the levels of HIF-1α and VEGFA were significantly increased(both P＜0.001).In MM patients,the miR-125b-5p level in the vitamin D deficiency group was significantly decreased than that in the non-deficiency group(P＜0.01),while the levels of HIF-1 α and VEGFA were significantly increased(both P＜0.05).In MM patients,25(OH)D was positively correlated with miR-125b-5p,while negatively correlated with HIF-1α and VEGFA(both P＜0.05).Moreover,miR-125b-5p was negatively correlated with HIF-1α and VEGFA(both P＜0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)for diagnosing MM with 25(OH)D,miR-125b-5p,and their combination were 0.699,0.751,and 0.791,respectively.Conclusion:The incidence of vitamin D deficiency is high in MM patients.Vitamin D deficiency may promote angiogenesis and participate in the occurrence and development of MM by downregulating miR-125b-5p and upregulating HIF-1α and VEGFA expression.

Objective:To describe the current status of responsive caregiving behavior of infant mothers,to analyze their influencing factors and pathways using the information-motivation-behavioral skills(IMB)model,and to provide a basis for further interventions related to responsive caregiving be-haviors and comprehensive promotion of early childhood development.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional survey using convenience sampling.Questionnaires were used to collect basic information about mothers and their infants,as well as data on mothers' responsive caregiving behavior,knowledge of re-sponsive caregiving,social support,and parenting self-efficacy.Multivariate linear regression models were employed to analyze the influencing factors of responsive caregiving behavior,and structural equa-tion modeling was used to analyze the pathways of these influencing factors.The criterion for inadequate responsive caregiving is defined as scores not exceeding the lower quartile(P25)of the total score.Results:Among 510 mothers of aged 0-12 months infants in Weifang City,the average score for respon-sive caregiving behavior was 16.41±3.99.The proportion of inadequate responsive caregiving was 25.7％.Mothers in the insufficient responsive caregiving group had lower scores in knowledge(7.70±1.41),social support(57.92±15.16),and parenting self-efficacy(30.36±6.48)compared with those in the sufficient group,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.001).Logistic regres-sion analysis indicated that the influencing factors for responsive caregiving included the level of know-ledge about responsive parenting[adjusted OR(aOR)=0.795,95％CI:0.566-0.838],social support(aOR=0.979,95％CI:0.961-0.996),and parenting self-efficacy(aOR=0.894,95％CI:0.857-0.932).Structural equation modeling revealed that knowledge of responsive caregiving(β=0.089,P=0.031),social support(β=0.153,P=0.001),and parenting self-efficacy(β=0.296,P＜0.001)were directly related to responsive caregiving behavior.Additionally,knowledge of responsive caregiving indirectly affected responsive caregiving behavior through parenting self-efficacy(β=0.095,P=0.014),and social support indirectly affected responsive caregiving behavior through parenting self-efficacy(β=0.497,P＜0.001).Conclusion:The current level of responsive caregiving behavior among mothers of 0-1-year-old infants in Weifang City is not satisfactory.Future development of responsive care-giving interventions should focus on providing caregivers with relevant knowledge of responsive caregiving based on their needs.Additionally,it is essential to offer social support from multiple aspects to enhance caregivers' parenting self-efficacy,thereby promoting improvements in responsive caregiving behavior.

Objective:To analyze the effects of citric acid anticoagulation on coagulation function and inflammatory factors in patients with sepsis and high-risk bleeding treated with continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT).Methods:A total of 80 patients with sepsis with high-risk bleeding who received CRRT treatment in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from February 2018 to August 2023 were retrospectively selected as the study objects, 40 cases were treated with low molecular weight heparin (control group) and 40 cases were treated with citric acid (observation group).Both groups were treated continuously, and the anticoagulant effect, coagulation function, electrolyte and inflammatory factor levels of the two groups were compared 7 d after medication.Results:The total effective rate of anticoagulation in the observation group after treatment was higher than that in the control group: 97.50% (39/40) vs. 75.00% (30/40), there was statistical difference ( χ2 = 8.54, P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of activated partial thrombin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT) and prothrombin time (PT) in the observation group were lower than those in the control group: (31.08 ± 8.31) s vs. (41.76 ± 8.36) s, (23.41 ± 5.02) s vs. (29.05 ± 5.13) s, (15.47 ± 3.50) s vs. (19.96 ± 4.75) s, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). There were no statistical differences in the levels of potassium, chloride, sodium and calcium between the two groups after treatment ( P>0.05). After treatment, the levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) in the observation group were lower than those in the control group :(2.60 ± 0.86) mg/L vs. (4.35 ± 1.12) mg/L, (0.11 ± 0.03) μg/L vs. (0.19 ± 0.05) μg/L, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The application of citric acid anticoagulant in patients with sepsis and high-risk bleeding treated with CRRT can achieve significant curative effect, which can not only improve the anticoagulant effect, stabilize coagulation function and electrolyte level, but also down-regulate the level of inflammatory factors.

Objective To conduct microbiological monitoring before the operation of the purified water treatment system in a newly-built endoscopy center,comprehensively analyze the causes for the standard-exceeding results of microbial detection of final rinse water,propose solutions,and provide reference for handling similar events in the future.Methods Microbial detection data of the final rinse water in the newly-built digestive endoscopy center of a tertiary first-class general hospital in Beijing from April to July 2024 were monitored.The potential causes for standard-exceeding results of microbial detection of final rinse water were analyzed from the perspectives of equip-ment maintenance and management of the purified water treatment system as well as the improvement of cleaning and disinfection methods for the purified water supply pipeline in the endoscopy center,targeted improvement mea-sures were proposed accordingly.Results The microbial monitoring result of final rinse water in the newly-built di-gestive endoscopy center built in April 2024 was 1 400 CFU/100 mL,with the main bacterial type being Cupriavi-duspauculus.After five rounds of improvement measures and rechecks,microbial monitoring result of the final rinse water in the newly-built endoscopy center was 0 CFU/100 mL,with a qualification rate of 100％.Analysis suggested that the main causes for the standard-exceeding results of microbial detection of final rinse water were due to the damage of the reverse osmosis membrane,lack of cleaning for the pure water storage tank before use,and non-standard cleaning and disinfection process for the pure water supply pipeline,after targeted improvement,the problem was solved.Conclusion Medical institutions should continuously conduct periodic monitoring on water used for endoscope,regularly perform cleaning and disinfection of the purified water treatment system,standardize cleaning and disinfection procedures,ensure medical quality and patient safety.
