Objective : To explore the role of lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 3(LPCAT3) in Erastin-induced ferroptosis of acute myeloid leukemia(AML) cells and its related molecular regulatory mechanisms. Methods : Tetrazolium salt(MTS) method was used to detect the sensitivity of different AML cells to the classic ferroptosis inducer Erastin, real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qPCR) was used to detect the basal expression level ofLPCAT3mRNA, and the correlation between them was analyzed. Lentivirus-mediatedLPCAT3overexpression AML cell lines(OE group) and negative control lines(NC group) were constructed. After Erastin intervention, MTS, flow cytometry, and micromethods were used to detect cell viability, lipid reactive oxygen species(ROS), and Malondialdehyde(MDA), respectively. qPCR and Western blot were used to detect unfolded protein response(UPR) classic pathway signaling molecules(PERK, ATF4, GRP78, etc.) expression levels. The above ferroptosis-related indicators were detected after combined intervention with the UPR inhibitor 4-phenylbutyric acid(4-PBA), and the regulatory relationship was analyzed. Results : Four different types of AML cells had different sensitivities to ferroptosis, among which K562 cells were relatively insensitive. The IC50of the four types of AML cells to Erastin was negatively correlated with the expression level ofLPCAT3(r=-0.919,P<0.001). After Erastin intervention, the cell viability of K562 cells in the OE group was significantly inhibited by Erastin compared with the NC group(P<0.001), and the levels of lipid ROS and MDA increased(P<0.001). The results of qPCR and Western blot showed that, compared with the NC group, the mRNA and protein expression of UPR classic pathway moleculesPERK,ATF4, andGRP78mRNA and protein increased in the OE group(P<0.01). After inhibiting the UPR pathway by 4-PBA, the viability of K562 cells decreased(P<0.01), and lipid ROS and MDA levels increased(P<0.01) compared with the uninhibited state. Conclusion Overexpression ofLPCAT3can promote ferroptosis in K562 cells, and this process is negatively regulated by the classical UPR pathway PERK/ATF.

Objective:To analyze the association between remnant cholesterol (RC) and the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in community population in Shanghai.Methods:Using baseline and follow-up data from the Shanghai Suburban Adult Cohort and Biobank, individuals with ASCVD (including coronary heart disease, stroke, myocardial infarction, and peripheral artery disease) at baseline were excluded. A Cox proportional hazards regression model was employed to analyze the relationship between RC and ASCVD risk and the association under different LDL-C levels.Results:A total of 57 281 participants were included, with a median follow-up of 5.61 person-years. During the follow-up, 1 436 ASCVD events (2.51%) were recorded. After adjusting for potential confounders, individuals with moderate ( HR=1.18, 95% CI: 1.03-1.36) or high RC levels ( HR=1.32, 95% CI: 1.15-1.51) had an increased risk of ASCVD. The association was stronger in participants younger than 60 years-old (interaction P=0.048). Participants with RC ≥0.97 mmol/L and LDL-C <3.40 mmol/L demonstrated a 19% ( HR=1.19, 95% CI: 1.06-1.35) increased risk of ASCVD. When RC ≥0.97 mmol/L and LDL-C ≥3.40 mmol/L, ASCVD risk increased by 42% ( HR=1.42, 95% CI: 1.21-1.67). Conclusions:Elevated RC increases ASCVD risk, regardless of LDL-C levels. RC can serve as a valuable predictor and intervention target for ASCVD.

Objective:To analyze the mediating effect of cardiovascular health status (CVH) on the association between educational level and cardiovascular disease (CVD).Methods:The participants were from Shanghai Suburban Adult Cohort and Biobank, and questionnaire survey, physical examination, blood biochemistry were conducted from 2016 to 2020 for baseline information collection, and follow up was conducted until March 31, 2024 based on the medical data, CVD incidence data and death surveillance data at different levels. The associations of educational level, CVH and time to CVD onset of the study population were analyzed using the accelerated failure time model to analyze the mediating effects of CVH, health behaviors, and health factors in the association of educational level and time to CVD onset. The mediating effects of educational level, gender, and age moderated associations were also analyzed.Results:A total of 57 312 participants were included, with 2 780 new cases of CVD during a median follow-up of 6.71 (6.71-6.72) years, and a mean incidence density of 7.77/1 000 person-years (95% CI: 7.48/1 000 person-years -8.06/1 000 person-years). In total, the less educational level and the lower CVH, the higher CVD incidence density ( P<0.05). The results of accelerated failure time models showed that the time ratio for CVD-free survival was 1.15 (95% CI: 1.06-1.24) and 1.33 (95% CI: 1.10-1.60) for moderate and high educational level, respectively. The results of the mediation effect analysis showed that the association between moderate and high educational level and time to CVD onset was 29.60% (20.50%-50.00%) and 36.10% (23.80%-59.00%), 9.97% (5.07%-20.00%) and 13.84% (6.84%-29.00%), 15.24% (9.64%-27.00%) and 17.55% (11.58%-33.00%) of mediators mediated by CVH, health behaviors, health factors, respectively. Among them, there was an exposure-mediated interaction of educational level and a positive moderating effect of age. Conclusion:CVH, health behaviors and health factors had a proportionate mediating effect in the association between educational level and risk of CVD development.

This article discusses the important role and practical experience of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region as a bridgehead between China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in the joint prevention and control of cross-border infectious diseases between China and Vietnam. The cross-border transmission of infectious diseases has been effectively managed in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region through a package of strategies, including government leadership, construction of the joint prevention and control mechanism, establishment of dialogue platforms, collaboration of scientific researches, and personnel exchange and training; however, there are still challenges. Further deepening of collaboration is required to meet future needs for infectious disease prevention and control.

Objective To explore the association of diabetes status with the development of tuberculosis (TB) among the community population in Shanghai, and to provide evidence for the formulation of tuberculosis prevention and control strategies. Methods This population-based cohort study was based on Shanghai Suburban Adult Cohort and Biobank (SSACB) in China. The baseline data were acquired by questionnaires, physical examinations and blood biochemistry tests. TB incidence was obtained by matching with TB management information system data. A Cox proportional risk model was established to assess the risk of tuberculosis. Results A total of 36 014 research subjects were included, with an average age of 56.3±11.3 years, of which 14 587 (40.5%) were male. Over 6 years of follow-up, 47 individuals progressed to tuberculosis (incidence rate: 19.8 per 100 000 person-year, 95% CI: 14.6 -26.4). An increased risk of TB was observed in participants with newly diagnosed diabetes compared with those without diabetes (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 2.73; 95% CI, 1.19 - 6.28). Conclusion The risk of tuberculosis in newly diagnosed diabetic patients is significantly increased, and strengthening tuberculosis screening for this population should be considered in practical work.

Objective The ketogenic diet(KD)is a dietary intervention with potential therapeu-tic effects on polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS),yet the existing evidence remains controversial.Fur-thermore,there is a lack of evidence-based medicine data for a comprehensive assessment of the safety of KD in the treatment of PCOS.This study aims to systematically evaluate,through a meta-analysis,the effects of KD on body composition,metabolic indicators,and reproductive hormone levels in over-weight/obese patients with PCOS,and to explore its safety and clinical applicability.Methods This study systematically searched PubMed,Web of Science,Embase,Cochrane Library,China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),Wanfang Database,and VIP Database.Randomized controlled trials(RCT)on KD for the treatment of PCOS were included,with the search time frame spanning from the establishment of each database to May 31,2025.Two researchers independently screened and extracted data according to inclusion and exclusion criteria,and assessed the quality of the in-cluded literature using the Cochrane Handbook.The Q-test and inconsistency index(I2)were used to evaluate the heterogeneity of the results.Based on the level of heterogeneity,a fixed-effects model or a random-effects model was selected for data pooling.Sensitivity analysis was employed to explore the robustness of the results.Results A total of 7 RCT studies involving 495 overweight/obese subjects were included in this study.Body composition analysis revealed that,compared with the control group,KD significantly reduced body mass index,body weight,waist circumference,waist-to-hip ra-tio,total fat mass,and visceral fat area in overweight/obese patients with PCOS(P＜0.05),but had no significant effect on fat-free mass.Analysis of glucose and lipid metabolism indicated that KD sig-nificantly decreased fasting blood glucose,fasting insulin,insulin resistance index,and triglycerides(P＜0.05),but had no significant impacts on total cholesterol,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol,or high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.Reproductive hormone analysis showed that KD significantly reduced luteinizing hormone,the ratio of luteinizing hormone to follicle-stimulating hormone,and total testosterone levels,while significantly increased sex hormone-binding globulin levels(P＜0.05),but had no significant effect on follicle-stimulating hormone.Sensitivity analysis suggested that the results were relatively robust.In terms of safety,no serious adverse reactions were observed during the KD intervention;however,further verification through high-quality RCTs with larger sample sizes and long-term interventions is still required.Conclusion KD can effectively improve body composition,glucose metabolism,lipid metabolism indicators,and reproductive hormone levels in overweight/obese patients with PCOS.This study confirms that KD significantly increase sex hormone-binding globulin level and reduce visceral fat area.It is found that KD has a more pronounced effect on impro-ving triglycerides compared to its effects on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and high-density lipo-protein cholesterol.The current evidence does not indicate significant safety risks associated with KD,but relevant conclusions still require further confirmation with more high-quality evidence.

Objective To investigate the current status of frailty in lung cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy and analyze its influencing factors.Methods The convenience sampling method was used to select 241 lung cancer patients admitted to the radiation therapy department of a tertiary Grade A tumor specialty hospital in Yunnan Province from January to December 2023.A questionnaire survey was conducted using the General Information Survey Questionnaire,Fried Weakness Scale,Anderson Symptom Assessment Scale(MDASI),Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale(SDS),Nutrition Risk Screening 2002,and Barthel Index Scale.Results The frailty in lung cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy was 55.19%,with a total frailty score of 3.00(1.00,4.00)points.The results of logistic regression analysis showed that age,number of radiotherapy sessions,hemoglobin count,Barthel index,Anderson symptom assessment score,and anxiety score were the influencing factors of frailty in lung cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy(P<0.05).Conclusion The incidence of frailties in patients with lung cancer radiotherapy is high.Age,radiotherapy frequency,hemoglobin count,Barthel index,Anderson symptom rating and anxiety score are the factors affecting frailties in patients with lung cancer radiotherapy.Clinical medical staff should promptly evaluate the frailty of lung cancer radiotherapy patients and identify their risk factors,and actively take intervention measures to prevent or control the occurrence and development of frailty.

IgA nephropathy（IgAN）is the most common primary glomerular disease，characterized by the deposition of IgA in the glomerular mesangial area. IgAN is a progressive disease with a protracted and relapsing course. Approximately 50%~75% of adult IgAN patients experience renal function deterioration and eventually progress to end-stage kidney disease（ESKD）within 20 years after diagnosis. Among patients with onset in childhood，about 30% ultimately progress to ESKD after 20 years of long-term follow-up. In recent years，numerous studies have continuously explored important signaling pathways and key molecules in its pathogenesis. This review introduces the therapeutic advances in IgAN，aiming to provide better treatment options for clinicians.

Objective To construct a classification model for surgical patients and apply it in the allocation of nursing human resources,providing a reference for nursing human resource management.Methods A convenience sampling method was used to retrospectively select 5,431 hospitalized surgical patients admitted to 6 surgical nursing units of a tertiary general hospital in Suzhou from July to November 2022 as the subjects of this study.The nursing hours were measured,and related influencing factors were analyzed.A decision tree classification method was used to establish a classification model for surgical patients.From August to October 2022,1,527 hospitalized surgical patients admitted to 3 nursing units of the same hospital were conveniently selected.The minimum number of nurses required daily was calculated using the surgical patient classification model,actual nursing hours measurement method,nurse-to-bed ratio method,and 8-hour continuous shift scheduling method.The application effect of the surgical patient classification model in nursing human resource allocation was evaluated with the actual nursing hours measurement method as the standard.Results The surgical patient classification model includes 7 classification indicators:length of hospital stay,diagnosis-related group weight,presence or absence of secondary care orders,surgical grade,anesthesia method,age,and presence or absence of critical illness orders.Patients were divided into 14 groups,and the model explained 90.5％of the total variance in nursing workload.The minimum number of nurses required in surgical nursing units calculated based on this model was closest to the result of the actual nursing hours measurement method and was superior to the results of the nurse-to-bed ratio method and the 8-hour continuous shift scheduling method.Conclusion The surgical patient classification model can accurately reflect the nursing workload of such patients.The classification indicators are simple and easy to obtain,and can guide the allocation of human resources in surgical nursing units.

Objective:To analyze and explore the diagnostic value of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for primary gastrointestinal lymphoma (PGIL).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical and pathological data from 37 patients with suspected PGIL and admitted to Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University and Xiamen Hospital, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University between January 2021 and December 2023. The diagnostic accuracy for PGIL of initial endoscopic conventional biopsies was compared with that of ESD biopsies.Results:Among these patients, 6 were diagnosed as having primary gastrointestinal lymphoma by routine endoscopic biopsy, with a diagnostic rate of 16.22% (6/37). Of the 22 patients who underwent ESD, 20 were diagnosed as having primary gastrointestinal lymphoma, achieving a diagnostic rate of 90.91% (20/22), which was significantly higher than that of initial endoscopic routine biopsies ( χ2=31.228, P<0.05). Conclusion:ESD demonstrates significant diagnostic value for PGIL.
