Objective To systematically evaluate the risk prediction models for postoperative delirium in adults with cardiac surgery. Methods The SinoMed, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases were searched to collect studies on risk prediction models for postoperative delirium in cardiac surgery published up to January 29, 2025. Two researchers screened the literature according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, used the PROBAST bias tool to assess the quality of the literature, and conducted a meta-analysis of common predictors in the model using Stata 17.0 software. Results A total of 21 articles were included, establishing 45 models with 28733 patients. Age, cardiopulmonary bypass time, history of diabetes, history of cerebrovascular disease, and gender were the top five common predictors. The area under the curve (AUC) of the 45 models ranged from 0.544 to 0.98. Fourteen out of the 21 studies had good applicability, while the applicability of the remaining seven was unclear; 20 studies had a high risk of bias. Meta-analysis showed that the incidence of postoperative delirium in adults with cardiac surgery was 18.6% [95%CI (15.7%, 21.6%)], and age [OR=1.045 (1.036, 1.054), P<0.001], history of cerebrovascular disease [OR=1.758 (1.459, 2.057), P<0.001], gender [OR=1.732 (1.430, 2.034), P<0.001], mini-mental state examination score [OR=3.930 (1.859, 8.309), P<0.001], and length of ICU stay [OR=5.586 (4.289, 6.883), P<0.001] were independent influencing factors for postoperative delirium after cardiac surgery. Conclusion The risk prediction models for postoperative delirium after cardiac surgery have good predictive performance, but there is a high overall risk of bias. In the future, large-sample, multicenter, high-quality prospective clinical studies should be conducted to construct the optimal risk prediction model for postoperative delirium in adults with cardiac surgery, aiming to identify and prevent the occurrence of postoperative delirium as early as possible.

Objective: To improve the efficiency of patient treatment in routine, emergency, and mass casualty scenarios (both peacetime and wartime), eliminate reliance on blood type compatibility, and promote the productization of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), this study investigated the optimal mixing ratio for developing a universal PRP formulation. Methods: PRP was prepared from donors with blood types O, A, B, and AB. Samples were mixed in varying proportions, and the optimal ratio was determined based on the trend of anti-A and anti-B antibody titers in the mixed PRP. Concentrations of the growth factors PDGF-AA, PDGF-BB, EGF, TGF-β1, and VEGF were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) before and after mixing. Results: A mixing ratio of A∶B∶AB=6∶2.5∶24 resulted in no detectable agglutination with either A or B cells in the microcolumn gel system, indicating the absence of immunological reactivity and confirming universal compatibility. Importantly, the levels of all measured growth factors remained unchanged following mixing, suggesting preservation of biological activity. Conclusion: These findings suggest that universal PRP can be prepared by neutralizing blood type antibodies through antigen-antibody reactions.

Objective:To develop an artificial intelligence system using fully convolutional neural networks（FCN）to assist echocardiographers in the quantitative assessment of mitral regurgitation（MR）severity.Methods:From August 2021 to June 2024，echocardiographic images of 441 patients with MR were prospectively collected from Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University and the Central Hospital of Wuhan. After screening，a total of 269 patients（4 917 frames）were included in the study. Of these，3 644 frames（128 patients）of apical four-chamber color Doppler MR flow convergence images from Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University were selected as the training/validation set，while images from 121 patients（813 frames）were used as the internal test set. Additionally，images from 20 patients（460 frames）from the Central Hospital of Wuhan were selected as the external test set. The FCN algorithm was employed to capture features and segment the MR color region on the left atrial side，simultaneously outputting the regurgitant radius（r）for the calculation of the effective regurgitant orifice area and regurgitant volume. The severity of MR was then classified according to the 2017 guidelines of the American Society of Echocardiography. The segmentation and classification performance of the model was evaluated，and the measurement results of the AI system was compared with that of both senior and junior physicians.Results:In the internal test set，the accuracy of r identification for cases classified as Grade Ⅰ to Ⅳ was 0.48，0.81，0.86，and 0.87，respectively. In the external test set，the accuracy of r identification for cases classified as Grade Ⅰ to Ⅳ was 0.60，0.77，0.64，and 0.77，respectively. The average accuracy of MR classification in the internal and external test sets was 0.91 and 0.88，respectively.Conclusions:The FCN model is capable of segmenting the left atrial side regurgitant areas in apical four-chamber heart color Doppler images，aiding physicians in obtaining quantitative assessment parameters for MR，and assisting junior physicians in accurately assessing the severity of MR.

Objective To analyze the risk factors for delayed hemorrhage in patients with early gastric carcinoma(EGC)after endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD),as well as to explore the predictive value of predictive models.Methods The clinical data of 386 EGC treated with ESD patients from July 2019 to March 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.They were followed up for a short period of time(24 h～30 d postoperatively)after ESD,and were divided into the group of occurrence(50 cases)and the group of non-occurrence(336 cases)according to the occurrence or non-occurrence of delayed hemorrhage.To understand the clinical data of the patients,multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for delayed hemorrhage in patients with EGC after ESD,and plot receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC curve)to analyze the predicted value.Results The proportions of cardia gastric fundus,lesion diameter ≥ 3 cm,submucosa with fibrosis,coarse blood vessels,and having ulcer or scar in the occurrence group were significantly higher than those in the non-occurrence group,the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis(with an introduction level of 0.05)showed that the lesion location was cardia-gastric fundus(OR=1.088,95％CI:1.040～1.138),the diameter of the lesion was ≥3 cm(OR=1.095,95％CI:1.057～1.135),and fibrosis under the mucosa(OR=1.130,95％CI:1.061～1.203),thick blood vessels under the mucosa(OR=1.177,95％CI:1.116～1.241),and the presence of ulcer or scar(OR=1.082,95％CI:1.057～1.108)were the risk factors for the occurrence of delayed hemorrhage in patients with EGC after ESD(P＜0.05).A prediction model was established:Logit(P)=-9.238+Location of lesion as cardia-gastric fundus × 0.084+Diameter of lesion ≥ 3 cm× 0.091+Submucosal with fibrosis × 0.122+Submucosal with thick blood vessels × 0.163+Ulcer or scar×0.079(P＜0.05),the likelihood ratio test yielded x2=131.09,DF=8,P＜0.05,which indicated that the constructed prediction model was valid.Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test showed a good model fit(P＞0.05).The ROC curve showed an area under the curve(AUC)value of 0.929 at a cutoff value of 12.00,with a sensitivity of 88.00％(95％CI:0.757～0.955)and a specificity of 83.04％(95％CI:0.780～0.869).Conclusion Postoperative delayed hemorrhage in patients with EGC treated with ESD is associated with cardia-gastric fundus,lesion diameter ≥3 cm,submucosal fibrosis,thick blood vessels,and the presence of ulcer or scar,and the prediction value of the prediction model constructed accordingly is good.

BACKGROUND:Exercise training can improve osteoporosis,but its effects and mechanisms on senile osteoporosis are not fully understood. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of treadmill exercise on osteoporosis and wnt/β-catenin signal pathway in aged rats. METHODS:Sixteen 24-month-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into osteoporosis group(n=8)and treadmill group(n=8)and eight 6-month-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were used as young control group.The model of senile osteoporosis was replicated by natural aging and the rats in the treadmill group were treated with treadmill exercise once a day,5 days a week,for 8 weeks.Levels of bone metabolic markers such as type I collagen cross-linked C-terminal peptide,tartrate resistant acid phosphatase,osteocalcin and bone specific alkaline phosphatase were detected by ELISA;bone mineral density of the left femur and L5 was measured by dual energy X-ray;bone scanning and bone microstructure quantitative analysis were performed by bone micro-CT;and the mRNA and protein expression levels of wnt3a,β-catenin,LRP5,DKK1 and GSK3β were detected by RT-PCR and western blot,respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the young control group,the osteoporosis group showed a reduction in serum bone specific alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin levels(P<0.05),bone mineral density of the femur and L5,the number of tibia and L4 bone trabeculae,bone volume,bone volume fraction(P<0.05),and mRNA and protein expression of wnt3a,β-catenin,and LRP5 in bone marrow tissue(P<0.05)as well as an increase in serum levels of tartrate resistant acid phosphatase and type I collagen cross-linked C-terminal peptide(P<0.05),the intertrabecular space between the tibia and L4,structural model index(P<0.05),and mRNA and protein expression of DKK1 and GSK3 β in bone marrow tissue(P<0.05).In addition to the reduced number of trabeculae in the tibia and L4 vertebrae,the trabeculae were structurally disturbed and sparsely aligned and fractured.Compared with the osteoporosis group,the treadmill group showed an increase in serum bone specific alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin levels(P<0.05),bone mineral density of the femur and L5(P<0.05),the number of tibial trabeculae,bone volume,bone volume fraction(P<0.05),mRNA and protein expression of wnt3a,β-catenin,and LRP5 in bone marrow tissue(P<0.05)but a reduction in the serum levels of tartrate resistant acid phosphatase and type I collagen cross-linked C-terminal peptide,L4 trabecular space,tibial trabecular space,structural model index,and mRNA and protein expression of DKK1 and GSK3 β in bone marrow tissue(P<0.05).In addition to the increased number of tibial and L4 trabeculae,the trabeculae were arranged in a regular and dense pattern and were connected to a network.To conclude,treadmill exercise may improve osteoporosis in aged rats by activating the wnt/β-catenin signal pathway.

Objective To observe the changes in the subfoveal choroidal thickness(SFCT)of children and adoles-cents with different refractive states using optical coherence tomography angiography.Methods A total of 171 children and adolescents were followed.They were divided into the lower primary school group(6-8 years old),upper primary school group(9-11 years old),and junior high school group(12-14 years old)according to their age at the time of en-rollment.Dioptric examinations(including best corrected visual acuity,diopter,intraocular pressure,corneal curvature,axial length and SFCT)were performed,data collection was conducted twice in half a year(initial examination and review after half a year),and the eyeball parameters and changes in eyeball parameters after half a year among all groups were compared.Results The axial length and SFCT of subjects had significant differences among all groups(both P＜0.05).In children and adolescents,the axial length gradually lengthened and SFCT gradually thickened with age,while intraocular pressure and corneal curvature were not associated with age(both P＞0.05).In the initial examination and review after half a year,there was no significant difference in intraocular pressure,corneal curvature and SFCT of subjects with differ-ent refractive states in all groups(all P＞0.05),while the axial length of myopic subjects was greater than that of non-my-opic subjects in all groups(all P＜0.05).In the review after half a year,the SFCT of non-myopic subjects in the lower pri-mary school group and upper primary school group was significantly thickened(P＜0.001,P=0.003),while there was no significant difference in SFCT of myopic subjects in all groups compared with the value half a year ago(all P＞0.05).The axial length of all subjects showed a positive correlation with the SFCT in the initial examination and review after half a year(r=0.354,0.228,P＜0.05).Conclusion Myopia affects the increase in SFCT in children and adolescents.

Healthy lifestyles and good living habits are effective strategies and important approaches to prevent chronic non-communicable diseases. With the development of evidence-based medicine, the evidence translation system has made some achievements in clinical practice. There is, however, no comprehensive, professional and efficient system for translating lifestyle evidence globally. Therefore, the Health Lifestyle Evidence (HLSE) Group of Lanzhou University constructed the HLSE Evidence Translation System (https://hlse.cn/), with the aim of synthesizing, evaluating, translating, and applying lifestyle-related evidence resources. This paper aims to introduce the functional module design of the evidence translation system, the system development process and testing, introduce the interface design and function demonstration, and explain the significance of constructing the HLSE.
