Objective : To investigate the mechanism of prostaglandin E synthase 3(PTGES3)/heat shock protein 90(HSP90) in the medial prefrontal cortex regulating obesity-related cognitive dysfunction. Methods: This study consisted of clinical trials and animal experiments. In part one, obese patients scheduled for bariatric surgery, and healthy adults matching gender and age were recruited at the same time to reach 10 cases in each group. The cognitive level was assessed with trail making test part A(TMT-A) and victoria stroop tests(VST). Four-dimensional data-independent acquisition(4D-DIA) was used to screen the proteome changes in peripheral blood. In part two, forty SPF healthy male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into four groups: normal diet group(ND group), high fat diet induced obesity group(DIO group), DIO supplemented with the control virus group(DIO+Scramble group) and DIO supplemented with the interfering virus group(DIO+shPTGES3 group). The Morris water maze test was conducted to evaluate the cognitive behavior changes of the four groups of mice. The immunofluorescence staining was performed to detect the expression of PTGES3 and HSP90 in the medial prefrontal cortex and the activation of ionized calcium binding adapter molecule 1(IBA1)-labeled microglia. Results: In the case-control study, the cognitive function of obese patients significantly decreased, and the expression of PTGES3 in peripheral blood significantly increased, while the level of PTGES3 was negatively correlated with cognitive function. In animal experiments, compared with ND group, DIO group had significantly prolonged time reaching the target platform, otherwise, the residence time in the target quadrant was shortened in the Morris water maze test. Simultaneously, there were significant increase in the expression of PTGES3 and HSP90, and the activation of IBA1 in the medial prefrontal cortex. Compared with DIO+Scramble group, mice in the DIO+shPTGES3 group spent less time reaching the target platform, and stayed longer in the target quadrant. The expression and co-localization levels of PTGES3 and HSP90 in medial prefrontal cortex significantly decreased. The activation level of microglia cells was also attenuated by PTGES3 interference. Conclusion Obesity-related cognitive dysfunction may be attributed to PTGES3/HSP90 in the medial prefrontal cortex by mediating neural inflammation.

Objective To study the complexity of helical tomotherapy plans for different anatomical sites and explore its correlations with dosimetric verification.Methods A total of 71 complexity metrics of the helical tomotherapy plans executed by Accuray?planning system v.5.1.9.2 for nasopharyngeal carcinoma(n=52),breast cancer(n=19),cervical cancer(n=52)and central nervous system cancer(n=37)were analyzed.The correlations between metrics were analyzed,and principal component analysis was used for dimensionality reduction.The global complexity score(normalized plan complexity score,nPCS)was calculated.The top-contributing complexity metrics within the first 10 principal components were extracted,and a correlation analysis with the gamma passing rate was conducted.Results There was no significant correlation between most metrics.The global complexity score was different for different sites,with the highest median nPCS and the most complex plan in the head and neck cancer.The correlation analysis between the global complexity score and gamma passing rate revealed that in the central nervous system plans,CFNS90 and EPSTV1_0 had strong correlations with gamma passing rate for 3%/2 mm criterion,and a significant correlation was found between CFNS90 and gamma passing rate for 3%/3 mm criterion.Conclusion Complexity scores can quantize the complexity of helical tomotherapy plans for different sites,and certain metrics are correlated with gamma passing rate.

Objective:To study the relationship between serum adiponectin level and early vascular aging (EVA).Methods:The cross-sectional study method was used. Six hundred and seventy-two subjects who completed health checkup from June to December 2023 in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University were selected. The subjects were divided into the EVA group (237 cases) and the control group (435 cases) based on brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV). According to the adiponectin tertiles method, the subjects were divided into low adiponectin subgroup (2.4 to 6.6 mg/L, 225 cases), medium adiponectin subgroup (6.7 to 9.1 mg/L, 227 cases) and high adiponectin subgroup (9.2 to 19.8 mg/L, 220 cases). The basic demographic information, past history and serological indexes were recorded. Univariate and multivariate binary Logistic regression analyses were used to analyze the risk factors for EVA, and multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the effect of adiponectin on EVA.Results:The male proportion, age, body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, triglycerides (TG), fasting blood glucose (FBG), uric acid, glycated hemoglobin (HbA 1c), homocysteine, baPWV and alcohol history proportion in EVA group were significantly higher than those in control group: 64.98% (154/237) vs. 53.33% (232/435), 53 (47, 57) years old vs. 46 (39, 52) years old, (26.34 ± 3.37) kg/m 2 vs. (25.16 ± 3.91) kg/m 2, (132.27 ± 15.48) mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa) vs. (117.30 ± 13.04) mmHg, (81.79 ± 11.04) mmHg vs. (71.93 ± 10.10) mmHg, 1.45 (1.03, 2.03) mmol/L vs. 1.08 (0.76, 1.65) mmol/L, 5.52 (5.03, 6.21) mmol/L vs. 5.14 (4.77, 5.56) mmol/L, (380.04 ± 96.43) μmol/L vs. (362.18 ± 94.94) μmol/L, 5.80 (5.50, 5.90)% vs. 5.70 (5.40, 5.82)%, 10.70 (9.01, 12.90) μmol/L vs. 9.96 (8.30, 12.20) μmol/L, 1 586 (1 511, 1 719) cm/s vs. 1 299 (1 215, 1 367) cm/s and 19.41% (46/237) vs. 13.56% (59/435), the adiponectin was significantly lower than that in control group: 7.00 (5.70, 8.75) mg/L vs. 8.40 (6.40, 10.60) mg/L, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01 or <0.05). There were no statistical differences in total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), creatinine and smoking history proportion between two groups ( P>0.05). The male proportion, BMI, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, TG, FBG, uric acid, creatinine, HbA 1c, homocysteine, EVA incidence, baPWV, smoking history proportion and alcohol history proportion in low adiponectin subgroup and medium adiponectin subgroup were significantly higher than those in high adiponectin subgroup, furthermore, the indexes except HbA 1c in low adiponectin subgroup were significantly higher than those in medium adiponectin subgroup, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05); the HDL-C in low adiponectin subgroup and medium adiponectin subgroup was significantly lower than that in high adiponectin subgroup, furthermore, that in low adiponectin subgroup was significantly lower than that in medium adiponectin subgroup, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05); there were no statistical differences in age, TC and LDL-C among the three subgroups ( P>0.05). Univariate binary Logistic regression analysis result showed that age, male, BMI, alcohol history, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, TG, FBG, uric acid and HbA 1c were the risk factors for EVA ( P<0.01 or <0.05), while the adiponectin was a protective factor for EVA ( P<0.01). Multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis result showed that age, systolic blood pressure, TG and FBG were risk factors for EVA ( OR = 1.098, 1.066, 1.209 and 1.268; 95% CI 1.069 to 1.127, 1.050 to 1.082, 1.007 to 1.451 and 1.069 to 1.502; P<0.01 or <0.05), while adiponectin was a protective factor ( OR = 0.892, 95% CI 0.828 to 0.962, P<0.01). Multivariable Logistic regression analysis result showed that adiponectin consistently remained a protective factor for EVA across unadjusted, preliminary adjusted and fully adjusted covariate models ( OR = 0.553, 0.580 and 0.576; 95% CI 0.451 to 0.678, 0.440 to 0.764 and 0.435 to 0.763; P<0.01).

The clinicopathological data of 1 001 pairs of DCD liver transplant donors and recipients at five hospitals, including The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine et al, in the Chinese Liver Transplan-tation Registry from January 2015 to December 2023 were collected. Of the donors, there were 825 males and 176 females. Of the recipients, there were 806 males and 195 females, aged 52 (range, 18-75)years. There were 281 recipients included using oversampling technique, and all 1 282 recipients were divided to the training set of 897 recipients and the validation set of 385 recipients by a ratio of 7∶3 using computer-generated random numbers. Seven prediction models, including Random Forest (RF), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Logistic Regression (LR), Decision Tree (DT), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), and Categorical Boosting (CatBoost), were constructed for AKI after liver transplantation based on machine learning algorithm.

Comparison of measurement data with normal distribution between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Comparison of measurement data with skewed distribution between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test, and comparison among groups was conducted using the Kruskal-Wallis H test. Comparison of count data between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or corrected chi-square test. Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rates and plot survival curves. Logistic regression model was performed for univariate and multivariate analyses. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to calculate area under curve (AUC) and 95% confidence interval ( CI). The performance of prediction model was evaluated using DeLong test, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity. The calibration curve was plotted to evaluate the performance of predicted probability and actual probability. The interpretability analysis of machine learning algorithm and SHapley Additive exPlanations was used to explain the model decision separately. Results:(1) Comparison of clinicopathological characteristics between recipients with and without AKI and donors. Of 1 001 recipients, there were 360 cases with AKI and 641 cases without AKI after liver transplantation.

Conclusions:The training program constructed for epilepsy specialist nurses is scientific and reasonable, with certain reliability and practicality, which provides a theoretical basis for the training of epilepsy specialist nurses, and promotes the common development of China's epilepsy specialist nurse team.

Objective To investigate the relationships of serum angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4) and fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) levels with the severity and prognosis of patients with diabetic nephropathy. Methods A total of 120 patients (diabetic nephropathy group) with diabetic nephropathy were selected from July 2018 to July 2020 and divided into mild group (n=62) and severe group (n=58) according to the staging criteria of diabetic nephropathy; based on the prognosis within 3 years, they were also divided into good prognosis group (n=94) and poor prognosis group (n=26). Additionally, 102 diabetic patients were enrolled as diabetic group, and 81 healthy volunteers were selected as control group. The serum levels of ANGPTL4 and FGF-23 in diabetic nephropathy patients were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of prognosis, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were drawn to analyze the values of ANGPTL4, FGF-23 and their combination in assessing the severity and prognosis of diabetic nephropathy. Results The levels of ANGPTL4 and FGF-23 in the diabetic nephropathy group and simple diabetic group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05); compared with the simple diabetic group, the levels of ANGPTL4 and FGF-23 in the diabetic nephropathy group were significantly increased (P < 0.05); the levels of ANGPTL4 and FGF-23 in the severe group were significantly higher than those in the mild group (P < 0.05); the ROC curve analysis revealed that the areas under the curve (AUCs) for assessing disease severity of ANGPTL4, FGF-23 and their combination were 0.748, 0.781 and 0.858 respectively, and the combined diagnosis was significantly better than FGF-23 (Z=2.149, P=0.032) and ANGPTL4 (Z=2.886, P=0.004) alone; the levels of ANGPTL4 and FGF-23 in the good prognosis group were significantly lower than those in the poor prognosis group (P < 0.05); significant differences were observed in diabetes duration, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (Scr), fasting blood glucose (FBG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C), hypertension, ANGPTL4 and FGF-23 levels between diabetic nephropathy patients with different prognoses (P < 0.05); the Scr, ANGPTL4 and FGF-23 levels were all risk factors affecting the prognosis of diabetic nephropathy (P < 0.05); the ROC curve analysis for prognosis assessment showed that the AUCs of ANGPTL4, FGF-23 and their combination were 0.774, 0.795 and 0.874 respectively; the combined diagnosis was significantly better than FGF-23 (Z=2.385, P=0.171) and ANGPTL4 (Z=2.317, P=0.021) alone. Conclusion The serum levels of ANGPTL4 and FGF-23 are significantly increased in diabetic nephropathy patients, and they have certain reference value for the clinical diagnosis and prognosis assessment of diabetic nephropathy patients.
