ObjectiveMicrotube associated protein-2 （MAP-2）， alpha-tubulin （α-tubulin）， and synaptophysin （SYP） are important proteins in neuronal signal communication. This paper observed the effects of modified Zhigancao Tang on the expression of serum α-Synuclein （α-Syn） and its oligomers， MAP-2， α-tubulin， and SYP of patients with liver and kidney deficiency of Parkinson's disease （PD）， analyzed their correlation， and evaluated the therapeutic effect of modified Zhigancao Tang in patients with liver and kidney deficiency of PD based on α-Syn transmission pathway mediated by neuronal communication in vivo. MethodsA total of 60 patients with PD who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into a treatment group （30 cases） and a control group （30 cases）. Both groups were treated on the basis of PD medicine， and the treatment group was treated with modified Zhigancao Tang. Both groups were treated for 12 weeks. The changes in UPDRS score， TCM syndrome score， and expression of serum α-Syn and its oligomers， MAP-2， α-tubulin， and SYP were observed before and after 12 weeks of treatment in each group. The correlation between the above-mentioned serum biological indexes and the levels of serum α-Syn and its oligomers was analyzed. ResultsAfter treatment， the TCM syndrome score， UPDRS score， UPDRS-Ⅱ score， and UPDRS-Ⅲ score of the treatment group were significantly decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The UPDRS score， UPDRS-Ⅱ score， and UPDRS-Ⅲ scores in the treatment group were significantly decreased compared with those in the control group after treatment （P<0.05）. After treatment， the total effective rate of the control group was 63.3% （19/30）， and that of the treatment group was 86.7% （26/30）. The clinical effect of the observation group was better than the control group （Z=-2.03， P<0.05）. The total effective rate of the observation group was better than that of the control group， and the difference was statistically significant （χ²=5.136， P<0.05）. After treatment， the oligomer level of serum α-Syn and MAP-2 level in the treatment group were significantly decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The levels of serum α-Syn and its oligomers， as well as α-tubulin in the treatment group， were significantly decreased compared with those in the control group after treatment （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Serum α-Syn was correlated with serum MAP-2 and α-Syn oligomer in patients with PD （P<0.05， P<0.01） but not correlated with serum SYP . Serum α-Syn oligomers of patients with PD were correlated with serum MAP-2 and α-tubulin （P<0.05， P<0.01） but not correlated with serum SYP level. Serum SYP of patients with PD was correlated with serum MAP-2 （P<0.05）. ConclusionModified Zhigancao Tang has a therapeutic effect on patients with liver and kidney deficiency of PD by inhibiting the production of α-Syn oligomers and intervening α-Syn microtubule transport pathway in vivo.

AIM: To compare the agreement between the ARK Biometer Combo and OA 2000 in patients wearing orthokeratology lenses.METHODS: A prospective study. A total of 148 patients(148 eyes)who were wearing orthokeratology lenses and returned for follow-up at the Shanghai Eye Disease Prevention and Treatment Center from August to September 2024 were included. Biometric measurements were performed using both the ARK Biometer Combo and OA 2000. Parameters including axial length(AL), corneal central thickness(CCT), anterior chamber depth(ACD), lens thickness(LT), corneal curvature(Kf and Ks), astigmatism(AST), white-to-white corneal diameter(WTW)and pupil diameter(PD)were obtained. Differences in measurement parameters between the two biometers were compared, and agreement was assessed.RESULTS: There were no statistically significant differences in the measurements of Kf, Ks and AST between the two biometers(P>0.05). Statistically significant differences were found in the measurements of AL, CCT, ACD, LT, WTW and PD(t=2.559, P=0.012; t=16.771, P<0.0001; t=4.749, P<0.0001; t=-15.212, P<0.0001; t=-14.915, P<0.0001; t=-2.402, P=0.018). ICC ranged from 0.615 to 0.999. Bland-Altman analysis showed that the maximum absolute values of the 95% limits of agreement(LoA)of AL, CCT, ACD, LT, Kf, Ks, AST, WTW and PD were 0.07 mm, 35.07 μm, 0.07 mm, 0.12 mm, 0.66 D, 1.14 D, 1.00 D, 0.76 mm, and 0.98 mm, respectively.CONCLUSION: In orthokeratology patients, the ARK Biometer Combo and OA 2000 showed good agreement in measuring AL, CCT, ACD, Kf and LT, and can be used interchangeably.

Objective To explore the potential categories of psychosocial adaptation in psoriasis patients and their differences in social alienation.Methods Using a cross-sectional survey design,convenience sam-pling was used to select 376 psoriasis patients from multiple hospitals in Shandong Province from September to December 2022.Participants completed the general information questionnaire,Psychosocial Adaptation to Illness Scale(PAIS-SR),Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-Ⅱ(AAQ-2),and General Alienation Scale(GAS).Latent profile analysis was performed using Mplus8.0 software to identify psychosocial adaptation patterns of psoriasis patients,and SPSS25.0 was used to compare social alienation differences among different adaptation groups.Results Psoriasis patients could be divided into two latent profiles:moderate psychosocial adaptation group(31.38％)and low psychosocial adaptation group(68.62％).Medical payment method,dis-ease recurrence,psoriasis subtype,disease duration,family history,skin lesion exposure,and AAQ-2 scores were identified as main influencing factors(P＜0.05).Significant differences in total GAS scores were found between the two groups(P＜0.05).Conclusion The psychosocial adaptation of psoriasis patients shows het-erogeneity and could be classified into two latent profiles.Targeted interventions should be implemented to improve psychosocial adaptation levels.

SHCBP1 is a type of Src homologous collagen that can specifically bind to the SH2 structural domain. It can act as a key regulatory protein, and exhibits abnormally high expression in a variety of malignant tumors. Through affecting the processes such as cell cycle, proliferation, and invasion, it participates in tumor genesis and development. In addition, high expression of SHCBP1 is closely related to chemotherapy resistance and poor prognosis of many malignant tumors, and its targeted inhibition can enhance the sensitivity of chemotherapy and provide new therapeutic strategies for a variety of solid tumors, making it an important biomarker for prognostic assessment and a potential therapeutic target.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of B-type natriuretic peptide(BNP)for acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD)complicated by right heart failure(RHF).Methods This study selected AECOPD patients admitted to Jiangyin Hospital Affiliated to Nantong University and Nanjing Chest Hospital from January 2022 to January 2024 as ob-jects.According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,122 patients were ultimately enrolled.The patients were divided into observation group(AECOPD with RHF,n=72)and control group(AECOPD without RHF,n=50)based on whether they had RHF.Differences in various indicators between the two groups were compared,and the predictive value of BNP for AECOPD patients with RHF was assessed through Logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves.The cut-off value of BNP was determined using the ROC curve.Results Statistically signifi-cant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of gender,body temperature,albumin,blood glucose,chloride ions,pulmonary artery pressure(PAP),and BNP levels(P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that BNP was an independent predictor for AECOPD patients with RHF(OR=1.03;95％CI,1.01 to 1.04;P＜0.05).The ROC curve results indicated that when the BNP cut-off value was 83.5 pg/mL,the sensitivity was 0.820,the specificity was 0.972,and the Youden index was 0.792.The area under the curve for BNP was 0.875(95％CI,0.800 to 0.949,P＜0.001).When the BNP level in AECOPD patients exceeded 83.5 pg/mL,the incidence of RHF significantly increased.Conclusion Patients with AECOPD complicated by RHF have higher plasma BNP levels than those without RHF,and BNP has significant predictive value for determining whether AECOPD patients have RHF.

Objective The study aims to optimize the conditions for constructing orthotopic nude mouse models of liver cancer by injecting human liver tumor cell lines and to explore appropriate timings for drug administration. Methods Human hepatocellular carcinoma Hep3B and hepatoblastoma HepG2 cell lines, which stably expressing the luciferase reporter gene (LUC), were selected. The linear correlation between the luciferase luminescence intensity and the number of liver tumor cells was analyzed using a Small Animal In Vivo Imaging system to verify the luminescent efficiency of the human liver tumor cells. Different concentrations (8×10⁶, 2.4×10⁷, 7.2×10⁷ cells/mL) and resuspension media (PBS, Matrigel) of human liver tumor cell suspensions HepG2-LUC and Hep3B-LUC were orthotopically inoculated into the liver lobes of 5-week-old female BALB/c nude mice (12 groups, 7 mice each) to construct human liver tumor nude mouse orthotopic cancer models. Every 7 days, the weights of mice were recorded, and the growth of orthotopic tumors was monitored using the Small Animal In Vivo Imaging system. On day 35 post-cell inoculation, mouse livers were dissected, and pathological slices were prepared for HE staining to observe histopathological changes in liver tissues. Results The luminescence intensity of human liver tumor cell lines was positively correlated with the number of cells (R²=0.983 1, R²=0.970 5), indicating their suitability for orthotopic model construction. Successful modeling was achieved in the high-concentration groups of HepG2-LUC, the low-, medium-, and high-concentration groups of HepG2-LUC+Matrigel, the medium- and high-concentration groups of Hep3B-LUC, and the low-, medium-, and high-concentration groups of Hep3B-LUC+Matrigel. For both HepG2-LUC+Matrigel and Hep3B-LUC+Matrigel groups, mice in the high-concentration groups exhibited significantly reduced body weight compared to the low- and medium-concentration groups (both with P<0.05). The luminescence intensity of successfully modeled mice increased exponentially over time (R²>0.950 0), and reached a minimum of 1.0×10⁷ p/(s·cm²·sr) by day 14 post-transplantation. Mice in the low- and medium-concentration groups of HepG2-LUC and the low-concentration group of Hep3B-LUC showed no significant pathological changes, while the other groups exhibited evident liver tumors and hepatocyte lesions. Conclusion For the HepG2-LUC cell line, the recommended injection volume is 50 µL with a cell density of 2.4×10⁷ cells/mL, resuspended with Matrigel, followed by drug administration or prognostic measures on day 7 post-modeling. For the Hep3B-LUC cell line, the recommended injection volume is 50 µL with a cell density of 7.2×10⁷ cells/mL, not resuspended with Matrigel, with administration or prognostic measures on day 14 post-modeling.

OBJECTIVE To explore the phenotypic changes and possible mechanisms of lncRNA OIP5-AS1 on the proliferation, migration, apoptosis, invasion and cycle of ovarian epithelial cells IOSE80. METHODS The clinical data of patients were collected from TCGA database and GEO database. After R package analysis, the differential expression of OIP5-AS1 was visualized in the volcanic map. The correlation between survival rate and OIP5-AS1 was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier. The IOSE80 cell model of OIP5-AS1 over expression and silencing was constructed with lentivirus vector. The expression of OIP5-AS1 was verified by RT-qPCR. Cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8. Invasion was detected by Transwell. Cell migration was detected by scratch test. Cell cycle and apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry. Western blotting was used to detect the expression of E-cadherin and N-cadherin, as well as the expression of cyclin-dependent kinase(CDK) and cyclin-G-related kinase(GAK). RESULTS RT-qPCR results showed that IOSE80 cell lines over expressing and silencing OIP5-AS1 were successfully constructed. CCK-8 results showed that overexpressing OIP5-AS1 promoted the proliferation of IOSE80 cells. Scratch test results showed that overexpressing OIP5-AS1 promoted the migration of IOSE80 cells. Transwell results showed that overexpressing OIP5-AS1 would increase the invasiveness of IOSE80 cells. Flow cytometry results showed that overexpression of OIP5-AS1 weakened the apoptosis of IOSE80 cells and promoted the progress of cell cycle. Western blotting results showed that overexpression of OIP5-AS1 downregulated the expression of E-cadherin and upregulated the expression of N-cadherin, while overexpression of OIP5-AS1 increased the expression of CDK and GAK proteins. CONCLUSION LncRNA OIP5-AS1 further interferes with the regulation of IOSE80 cell cycle by up regulating the expression of CDK and GAK, and then indirectly regulates the malignant phenotype of ovarian epithelial cells.

At present, the incidence of chronic heart failure in China remains high, with a high incidence among the elderly. Palliative care model can actively improve patient prognosis and enhance their quality of life. Affected by factors such as transportation and economic costs, patients and caregivers tend to prefer the home based palliative care model. This paper reviews the application of the home based palliative care model in patients with chronic heart failure both domestically and internationally, including the concepts of chronic heart failure and palliative care, the status of home based palliative care models for patients with chronic heart failure, the needs, significance, existing problems of home based palliative care, and proposes development suggestions, aiming to promote the development of the home based palliative care model in China.

Objective:To explore the risk factors of septic acute kidney injury (sAKI) in patients with sepsis, construct a predictive model for sAKI, verify the predictive value of the model, and develop a dynamic nomogram to help clinical doctors identify patients with high-risk sAKI earlier and more easily.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted. A total of 245 patients with sepsis admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from May 2013 to November 2023 were enrolled as the research subjects. The patients were divided into sAKI group and non-sAKI group based on whether they suffered from sAKI during ICU hospitalization. The differences of the demographic, clinical and laboratory indicators of patients between the two groups were compared. Logistic ordinal regression analysis was performed to analyze the imbalanced variables between the two groups, and to construct a sAKI predictive model. The predictive value of the sAKI predictive model was evaluated through 5-fold cross validation, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA), and to develop an online dynamic nomogram for the predictive model.Results:A total of 245 patients were enrolled in the final analysis. 110 (44.9%) patients developed sAKI during ICU hospitalization and 135 (55.1%) patients did not develop sAKI. Compared with the non-sAKI group, the patients in the sAKI group had higher ratios of female, hypertension, invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), renal replacement therapy (RRT), vasopressin usage, and neutrophil count (NEU), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (SCr), uric acid (UA), Na +, K +, procalcitonin (PCT), acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ) score, and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score. Multivariate Logistic ordinal regression analysis showed that female [odd ratio ( OR) = 2.208, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 1.073-4.323, P = 0.020], hypertension ( OR = 2.422, 95% CI was 1.255-5.073, P = 0.012), vasopressin usage ( OR = 2.888, 95% CI was 1.380-6.679, P = 0.002), and SCr ( OR = 1.015, 95% CI was 1.009-1.024, P < 0.001) were independent risk factors for sAKI in septic patients, and a sAKI predictive model was constructed: ln[ P/(1+ P)] = -4.665+0.792×female+0.885×hypertension+1.060×vasopressin usage+0.015×SCr. The 5-fold cross validation showed that the average area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC) was 0.860, indicating the sAKI predictive model had a good performance. The calibration curve analysis showed that the calibration degree of the sAKI predictive model was good. DCA showed that the net profit of the sAKI predictive model was relatively high. A static nomogram and an online dynamic nomogram were constructed for the sAKI predictive model. Compared with the static nomogram, the dynamic nomogram allowed for manual selection of corresponding patient characteristics and viewing the corresponding sAKI risk directly. Conclusions:Female, hypertension, vasopressin usage, and SCr are the main risk factors for sAKI in patients with sepsis. The sAKI predictive model constructed based on these factors can help clinical doctors identifying high-risk patients as early as possible, and intervene in a timely manner to provide preventive effects. Compared with the common static nomogram, online dynamic nomogram can make predictive models clearer, more intuitive, and easier.
