Objective To evaluate the current situation of disease control in middle-aged and elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and analyze the relationship with disease cognition. Methods Among the 360 middle-aged and elderly COPD patients diagnosed and treated in our hospital from January 2022 to June 2024 were retrospectively selected as research subjects, and the COPD Assessment Test Questionnaire (CAT), COPD Patient Knowledge Questionnaire (BCKQ) and the hampion Health Belief Model Scale were used to evaluate disease control, disease cognition and health beliefs in COPD patients. The Pearson chi-square test was used to analyze the relationship between disease control level and disease cognition and health beliefs in older patients with COPD. Results A total of 360 middle-aged and elderly COPD patients, 112 were in the complete control group, 189 were in the partial control group, and 59 were in the uncontrolled group, the disease control rate was 83.61%. The differences in disease cognitive scores, severity cognition, susceptibility cognition, disorder cognition, benefit cognition, health motivation, self-efficacy score and total health belief scores in middle-aged and elderly COPD patients with different disease control conditions are statistically significant. The scores of the complete control group were higher than those of partial control group and uncontrolled group, and the scores of partial control group were higher than those of the uncontrolled group (P <0.05). The disease control level of middle-aged and elderly patients with COPD is positively correlated with disease cognitive level and health belief in all dimensions. The higher the disease control level, the higher the disease cognitive level and health belief in the patient . Conclusions Middle-aged and elderly COPD patients still have insufficient awareness of the disease, and the level of disease control needs to be improved. There is a significant correlation between disease cognition, health beliefs and the level of disease control, and the improved cognitive level may help to improve the disease management and control effect. For middle-aged and elderly COPD patients, the community can provide health education courses, personalized health guidance and self-management training to enhance their awareness of diseases, so as to improve the long-term management of COPD and the quality of life of patients.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the efficacy and safety of chidamide combined with DICE regimen (cisplatin+ ifosfamide + etoposide + dexamethasone) for relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphome(R/R DLBCL). METHODS: The clinical data of 31 R/R DLBCL patients treated by chidamide combined with DICE regimen in the Hematology Department of the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University from October 2016 to October 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical efficacy and adverse events were observed. RESULTS: Among the 31 patients, 20 were male and 11 were female. The median age of the patients was 55 (range: 27-71) years old, 21 cases were < 60 years old, 10 cases were ≥60 years old. 26 cases were refractory and 5 cases were relapsed. There were 13 cases of germinal center B-cell like (GCB), 17 cases of non-GCB, and 1 case had missing Hans type. There were 17 cases of double-expression lymphoma (DEL) and 14 cases of non-DEL. The complete response rate of patients was 38.7%(12/31), the overall response rate was 67.7%(21/31). The median progression-free survival time and the median overall survival time were 9.8(95%CI : 4.048-15.552) months, 13.9(95%CI : 9.294-18.506) months, respectively. Multipvariate analysis showed that GCB and DEL reduced the risk of disease recurrence in R/R DLBCL patients. The main grade 3/4 hematological adverse events in this study were thrombocytopenia, agranulocytosis, anemia and leukopenia. CONCLUSION The chidamide combined with DICE regimen is effective in the treatment of R/R DLBCL, and hematological adverse events should be closely monitored.

Circadian rhythm disruption is a universal phenomenon that is associated with a combination of internal and external factors, with internal factors referring to disturbances in the intrinsic regulatory mechanisms of sleep-wake behavior, and external factors including changes in sleep habits, severe sleep deprivation, shift work, social jet lag, prolonged exposure to nighttime light, and late nighttime eating. Shift work, as a common occupational factor, can lead to disruption of the central/ peripheral biological clock which regulates the expression of almost the entire genome, and the disruption of the biological clock can lead to genetic variants, hormonal secretion abnormalities, insulin resistance, oxidative stress, and systemic inflammation, which are risk factors for obesity. In the context of rapid advancement of global economy and industrialization, the prevalence of simple obesity in the traditional cognitive category is increasing in a linear trend, while the incidence of abdominal obesity, which is closely related to metabolic disorders, is also showing an increasing trend. In recent years, the mechanism of circadian rhythm disorder and obesity associated with shift work has attracted much attention, and this article summarized the latest research progress, aiming to provide a basis for the prevention and treatment of obesity caused by circadian rhythm disruption due to shift work.

ObjectiveTo investigate the inhibitory effect of Mahuang Xixin Fuzitang on the migration of dendritic cells （DCs） in mice and its underlying mechanism. MethodMouse bone marrow-derived DCs were isolated and cultured. The morphological changes of the cells at different stages were observed under a microscope， and the CD11c⁺ proportion was detected by flow cytometry to identify DC purity. Cells were treated with Mahuang Xixin Fuzitang （1， 2， 5， 10， 20， 40， 50， 100 g·L^-1） for 24 hours， and the effect of Mahuang Xixin Fuzitang on cell proliferation was assessed using the cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8） assay to determine the appropriate concentrations for treatment. After modeling by lipopolysaccharide （LPS） induction， DCs were divided into a blank group， a model group， and Mahuang Xixin Fuzitang groups （2， 4， 8 g·L^-1）. The expression of surface molecules CD80， CD86， and major histocompatibility complex-Ⅱ （MHC-Ⅱ） were detected by flow cytometry. Transwell chamber assay was used to observe cell migration. The levels of chemokine C-C-primitive receptor 7 （CCR7） and chemokine C-X-C-primitive receptor 4 （CXCR4） on the cell surface were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. The expression of filamentous actin （F-actin） in the cell microfilament cytoskeleton was detected by immunofluorescence （IF） staining. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was employed to determine the mRNA expression levels of Ras homolog family member A （RhoA） and Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase 1 （ROCK1）. Western blot analysis was performed to detect the protein expression of RhoA and ROCK1. ResultCompared with the blank group， the model group exhibited significantly higher expression levels of CD80， CD86， and MHC-Ⅱ （P<0.01）， a significantly increased number of cells migrating to the lower chamber （P<0.01）， and significantly elevated levels of CCR7 and CXCR4 （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Additionally， F-actin expression was significantly increased （P<0.01）， and both RhoA and ROCK1 mRNA and protein expression levels were significantly higher （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， treatment with Mahuang Xixin Fuzitang （2， 4， 8 g·L^-1） for 24 hours resulted in significantly lower expression levels of CD80， CD86， and MHC-Ⅱ （P<0.01）， a significantly reduced number of cells migrating to the lower chamber （P<0.05）， and significantly decreased levels of CCR7 and CXCR4 （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Furthermore， F-actin expression was significantly reduced （P<0.01）， and both RhoA and ROCK1 mRNA and protein expression levels were significantly decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionMahuang Xixin Fuzitang can inhibit the migration of DCs in mice， and its mechanism of action may be related to reducing the activity of the Rho/ROCK signaling pathway， thereby affecting changes in the cell cytoskeleton.

BACKGROUND:Previous studies on cervical instability failed to explain the dynamic and static interaction relationship and pathological characteristics changes in the development of cervical lesions under the traditional imaging examination.In recent years,the emerging nuclear magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)radiomics can provide a new way for in-depth research on cervical instability. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the application value of MRI radiomics in the study of cervical instability. METHODS:Through recruitment advertisements and the Second Department of Spine of Wangjing Hospital,China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences,young cervical vertebra unstable subjects and non-unstable subjects aged 18-45 years were included in the cervical vertebra nuclear magnetic image collection.Five specific regions of interest,including the intervertebral disc region,the facet region,the prevertebral muscle region,the deep region of the posterior cervical muscle group,and the superficial region of the posterior cervical muscle group,were manually segmented to extract and screen the image features.Finally,the cervical instability diagnosis classification model was constructed,and the effectiveness of the model was evaluated using the area under the curve. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)A total of 56 subjects with cervical instability and 55 subjects with non-instability were included,and 1 688 imaging features were extracted for each region of interest.After screening,300 sets of specific image feature combinations were obtained,with 60 sets of regions of interest for each group.(2)Five regions of interest diagnostic classification models for cervical instability were initially established.Among them,the support vector machine model for the articular process region and the support vector machine model for the deep cervical muscle group had certain accuracy for the classification of instability and non-instability,and the average area under the curve of ten-fold cross-validation was 0.719 7 and 0.703 3,respectively.(3)The Logistic model in the intervertebral disc region,the LightGBM model in the prevertebral muscle region,and the Logistic model in the superficial posterior cervical muscle region were generally accurate in the classification of instability and non-instability,and the average area under the curve of ten-fold cross-validation was 0.650 4,0.620 7,and 0.644 2,respectively.(4)This study proved the feasibility of MRI radiomics in the study of cervical instability,further deepened the understanding of the pathogenesis of cervical instability,and also provided an objective basis for the accurate diagnosis of cervical instability.

Purpose::To assess the value of the driving pressure variation rate (ΔP%) in predicting the outcome of weaning from invasive mechanical ventilation in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome.Methods::In this case-control study, a total of 35 patients with moderate-severe acute respiratory distress syndrome were admitted to the intensive care unit between January 2022 and December 2022 and received invasive mechanical ventilation for at least 48 h were enrolled. Patients were divided into successful weaning group and failed weaning group depending on whether they could be removed from ventilator support within 14 days. Outcome measures including driving pressure, PaO 2:FiO 2, and positive end-expiratory pressure, etc. were assessed every 24 h from day 0 to day 14 until successful weaning was achieved. The measurement data of non-normal distribution were presented as median (Q 1, Q 3), and the differences between groups were compared by Wilcoxon rank sum test. And categorical data use the Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test to compare. The predictive value of ΔP% in predicting the outcome of weaning from the ventilator was analyzed using receiver operating characteristic curves. Results::Of the total 35 patients included in the study, 17 were successful vs. 18 failed in weaning from a ventilator after 14 days of mechanical ventilation. The cut-off values of the median ΔP% measured by Operator 1 vs. Operator 2 in the first 4 days were ≥ 4.17% and 4.55%, respectively ( p < 0.001), with the area under curve of 0.804 (sensitivity of 88.2%, specificity of 64.7%) and 0.770 (sensitivity of 88.2%, specificity of 64.7%), respectively. There was a significant difference in mechanical ventilation duration between the successful weaning group and the failure weaning group (8 (6, 13) vs. 12 (7.5, 17.3), p = 0.043). The incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia in the successful weaning group was significantly lower than in the failed weaning group (0.2‰ vs. 2.3‰, p = 0.001). There was a significant difference noted between these 2 groups in the 28-day mortality (11.8% vs. 66.7%, p = 0.003). Conclusion::The median ΔP% in the first 4 days of mechanical ventilation showed good predictive performance in predicting the outcome of weaning from mechanical ventilation within 14 days. Further study is needed to confirm this finding.

Objective:To analyze ultrasonographic manifestations and genetic etiology of nine fetuses with 7q11.23 duplication syndrome.Methods:Ultrasonographic finding, pregnancy outcome and follow-up of nine fetuses detected at the Prenatal Diagnosis Center of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2017 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:The fetuses were found to harbor a duplication in the 7q11.23 region by chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA). Among these, five had shown ventriculomegaly, including four syndromic and one non-syndromic. For the remainders, one had ventricular septal defect and mild tricuspid regurgitation, one had echogenic intracardiac focus, whilst another two were normal. Five couples had accepted parental verification, and the results confirmed that the 7q11.23 duplication carried by their fetuses were de novo in origin. Following genetic counseling, seven couples had opted to terminate their pregnancies. Two fetuses were delivered at full term, and follow-up had found no abnormalities. Conclusion:Prenatal ultrasonographic manifestations of fetuses with 7q11.23 duplication syndrome are variable. CMA can provide assistance for their diagnosis and genetic counseling.
