Objective To analyze the clinical and therapeutic characteristics of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-negative posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in the context of specific cases and literature. Methods A case of EBV-negative DLBCL (GCB type) after kidney transplantation is reported. The patient was a 45-year-old male who underwent living-related kidney transplantation in 2016 and has been receiving triple immunosuppressive therapy with tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil and methylprednisolone since then. In 2024, the patient presented with intermittent fever, night sweats and gastrointestinal symptoms. The diagnosis was confirmed by endoscopic pathology, immunohistochemical staining and positron emission tomography/computed tomography. The R-CDOP regimen (rituximab + cyclophosphamide + liposomal doxorubicin + vincristine + dexamethasone) was used for treatment. Results The patient was diagnosed with EBV-negative DLBCL (GCB type, Ann Arbor stage Ⅳ B). After 4 cycles of R-CDOP chemotherapy, the efficacy assessment was partial remission, and the transplant kidney function remained stable. Conclusions For EBV-negative PTLD after kidney transplantation, it is necessary to break through the "virus-dependent" diagnostic thinking. In clinical practice, the focus should be on protecting the transplant kidney, and individualized treatment plans should be developed for patients.

This study elaborates on the teaching reform of the "Five-year Traditional Chinese Medicine Talent Training Program for Traditional Chinese Medicine (Orthopedics Direction)" implemented by Department of Orthopedics in Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, including curriculum reform (restructuring courses, emphasizing Lingnan characteristics, and combining medical sciences with martial arts) and teaching model reform (increasing mentorship and learning from teachers, arranging one mentor for every two students, and assigning one teaching team leader for every 5-6 groups). A questionnaire survey conducted among the students of the classes 2022 and 2023 in the five-year TCM talent training program for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) majors (orthopedics direction) showed that 86.25% (69/80) of the students were satisfied with the mentorship model of "arranging one mentor for every two students", and 87.50% (70/80) of the students agreed that "the assignment of a teaching team leader can help to control teaching intensity". In terms of restructuring the curriculum system, 90.00% (72/80) of the students believed that the establishment of characteristic teaching courses could help to stimulate the enthusiasm for exploring TCM sciences, and 88.75% (71/80) of the students recognized the unique integration of textbooks, believing that it could help to understand the Lingnan school of Orthopedics. In terms of professional qualities, 90.00% (72/80) of the students agreed that the learning model of "systematic education+learning from teachers" could significantly help with the integration of knowledge, and 88.75% (71/80) of the students suggested that this model could stimulate the interest in specialized knowledge fields and motivate students to learn independently. In terms of apprenticeships with teachers, 85.00% (68/80) of the students reported that they could receive answers from teachers when asking questions, and 93.75% (75/80) of the students believed that early apprenticeship with a teacher was necessary. Some students still had a lack of understanding of learning TCM Qigong methods and believed that continuous practice took up too much personal time, failing to cultivate a good thinking of "the combination of medical sciences and martial arts", and they also believed that there were still limited opportunities for practice. The results show that the teaching model of "systematic education+learning from teachers" helps to improve the degree of satisfaction among students and cultivate clinical skills and professional qualities.

Objective:To investigate the impact of postoperative complications on adverse outcomes following curative-intent resection for gallbladder cancer (GBC).Methods:The multi-center real-world study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 629 patients with GBC, who were admitted to 14 medical centers including The First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University from the national multicenter database of Biliary Surgery Group of Elite Group of Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery, from April 2020 to April 2024 were collected. There were 225 males and 404 females, aged (64±10)years. Patients underwent open curative-intent resection for GBC. Observation indicators: (1)surgery, postoperative complica-tions and adverse outcomes; (2) analysis of risk factors affecting postoperative adverse outcomes in patients and population attributable fraction (PAF). Missing data in predictor variables were addressed using multiple imputation with chained equations, while cases with missing outcome variables were addressed using the "multiple imputation then deletion (MID)" strategy. The severity of multicollinearity among independent variables was assessed using the variance inflation factor (VIF) test. Multivariable possion regression models with log link and robust error variance were construc-ted incorporating restricted cubic splines (3 knots) to address nonlinear relationships in continuous variables, calculating adjusted relative risk ( RR) with corresponding 95% confidence interval ( CI). Adjusted PAF was calculated for each imputed dataset using the AF package of R software, with subsequent pooling performed according to Rubin's rules. Results:(1) Surgery, postoperative complications and adverse outcomes. All 629 patients underwent curative-intent resection for GBC, of which 143 cases had postoperative complications, including 68 cases of intra-abdominal ascites, 39 cases of pulmonary infection, 21 cases of bile leakage, 12 cases of intra-abdominal hemorrhage, 11 cases of liver failure, 10 cases of pan-creatic fistula, 10 cases of wound infection, 10 cases of gastroparesis, 7 cases of cholangitis, 7 cases of sepsis. The same patient could have more than one kind of complication. Of 629 patients, there were 19 cases of postoperative 90-day death and 11 cases of missing data, 42 cases with post-operative 90-day reoperation and 7 cases with missing data, 44 cases with postoperative 90-day readmission and 3 cases with missing data, 155 cases with prolonged postoperative hospital stay and 3 cases with missing data. (2) Analysis of risk factors affecting the postoperative adverse outcomes in patients and PAF. Results of multivariate analysis showed that pulmonary infection and liver failure were independent risk factors for postoperative 90-day mortality ( RR=3.74, 12.15, 95% CI as 1.18-11.83, 1.98-74.48, P<0.05). Pulmonary infection demons-trated the highest PAF as 4.61% (95% CI as 3.94%-5.28%, P<0.05). Intra-abdominal ascites, pulmonary infection, bile leakage, and intra-abdominal hemorrhage were independent risk factors for post-operative 90-day reoperation ( RR=4.80, 3.62, 3.46, 4.99, 95% CI as 2.49-9.26, 1.42-9.21, 1.34-8.92, 1.55-16.06, P<0.05). Intra-abdominal ascites demonstrated the highest PAF as 8.65% (95% CI as 8.22%-9.08%, P<0.05). Intra-abdominal ascites, bile leakage, and liver failure were independent risk factors for postoperative 90-day readmission ( RR=6.20, 3.33, 14.33, 95% CI as 3.21-11.95, 1.33-8.35, 3.72-55.28, P<0.05). Intra-abdominal ascites demonstrated the highest PAF as 9.11% (95% CI as 8.85%-9.37%, P<0.05). Intra-abdominal ascites, pulmonary infection, bile leakage, liver failure, and wound infection were independent risk factors for prolonged postoperative hospital stay ( RR=2.29, 2.21, 2.26, 2.14, 3.35, 95% CI as 1.63-3.23, 1.41-3.46, 1.32-3.86, 1.11-4.13, 1.70-6.60, P<0.05). Intra-abdominal ascites demonstrated the highest PAF as 6.03% (95% CI as 5.71%-6.35%, P<0.05). Conclusion:Pulmonary infection is the most significant risk factor for postoperative 90-day mortality after curative-intent resection for GBC, while intra-abdominal ascites is the most significant risk factor for postoperative 90-day reoperation, postoperative 90-day readmission, and prolonged postoperative hospital stay.

Objectives:To investigate the predictive value of the hemoglobin to serum creatinine ratio(Hb/SCr)for all-cause mortality within 3 years after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI).Methods:A total of 687 STEMI patients who successfully underwent the first PCI at the Department of Cardiology,Gansu Provincial People's Hospital,from June 2016 to June 2020 were retrospectively enrolled.Patients were divided into survival and non-survival groups according to their vital status at 3 years post-PCI.Cox regression analysis was performed to identify predictive factors of all-cause mortality.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were constructed to evaluate the predictive value of Hb/SCr for all-cause mortality,and Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to compare cumulative survival rates between subgroups stratified by Hb/SCr levels.Results:The median follow-up duration was 37(25,50)months.Among the 663 patients(96.51%)with complete follow-up data,41 cases(6.18%)experiencing all-cause death.Multivariable Cox regression analysis revealed that age(HR=1.086,95%CI:1.037-1.137,P=0.000),body mass index(HR=1.195,95%CI:1.128-1.266,P=0.000),fasting blood glucose(HR=1.069,95%CI:1.007-1.135,P=0.030),fibrinogen(HR=1.418,95%CI:1.120-1.795,P=0.004),TIMI flow grade 1(HR=4.968,95%CI:1.194-20.667,P=0.028),TIMI flow grade 2(HR=3.861,95%CI:1.336-11.156,P=0.013),and Hb/SCr(HR=0.858,95%CI:0.766-0.961,P=0.008)were the independent predictors of all-cause mortality.ROC curve analysis demonstrated that the area under the curve(AUC)of Hb/SCr was 0.721(95%CI:0.645-0.798)for predicting all-cause mortality,with a sensitivity of 65.9%and specificity of 71.2%,at the optimal cut-offvalue of 16.627.Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that patients with Hb/SCr<16.627 had significantly lower survival rates than those with Hb/SCr≥16.627(log-rank P=0.000).Conclusions:Hb/SCr is an independent predictor of 3-year all-cause mortality in STEMI patients after PCI and this indicator could be used as risk stratification parameter and patients with lower Hb/SCr might benefit comprehensive post-PCI management to improve their outcome.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression of discoidin,CUB and LCCL domain containing protein 1(DCBLD1)and cytoskeleton associated protein 2(CKAP2)in cervical cancer(CC)tissues and epithelial mesenchymal transition(EMT)and clinical prognosis.Methods 94 CC patients diagnosed and treated in Shiyan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from February 2017 to February 2019 were selected.The expression of DCBLD1 messenger ribonucleic acid(mRNA),CKAP2 mRNA,N-cadherin(N-cad)mRNA,vimentin(Vim)mRNA and TWIST mRNA in tissues was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR).The expressions of DCBLD1 and CKAP2 were detected by immunohistochemistry(IHC).Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship between DCBLD1 mRNA,CKAP2 mRNA and EMT-related indicators.Kaplan-Meier survival curve was drawn to compare the prognosis of CC patients with different DCBLD1 mRNA and CKAP2 mRNA expression.COX regression analysis was used to analyze the prognostic factors of CC patients.Results The expression of DCBLD1 mRNA,CKAP2 mRNA,N-cad mRNA,Vim mRNA and TWIST mRNA in CC cancer tissues was higher than that in adjacent tissues,and the differences were statistically significant(t=32.763～52.824,all P<0.05).The positive rates of DCBLD1 protein(89.36%)and CKAP2 protein(87.23%)in CC cancer tissues were higher than those in adjacent normal tissues(7.45%,6.38%),and the differences were statistically significant(χ2=126.278,123.396,all P<0.001).The expression of DCBLD1 mRNA and CKAP2 mRNA in CC cancer tissues were positively correlated with the expression of N-cad mRNA,Vim mRNA and TWIST mRNA(r=0.655～0.744,all P<0.001).The expression of DCBLD1 mRNA and CKAP2 mRNA in patients with FIGO stage IB2～IIB and lymph node metastasis were higher than those in patients with stage IA～IB1 and without lymph node metastasis(t=25.644～35.674,all P<0.05).The 5-year progression free survival rates of the high expression groups of DCBLD1 mRNA and CKAP2 mRNA were 63.04%and 62.22%,respectively,which were lower than those of the low expression groups of DCBLD1 mRNA and CKAP2 mRNA(91.67%and 91.84%),respectively,and the differences were statistically significant(Log-Rank χ2=7.181,6.527,all P<0.05).FIGO stage IB2～IIB,high DCBLD1 mRNA and high CKAP2 mRNA were risk factors affecting the prognosis of CC patients(Wald χ2=8.277,15.877,10.927,all P<0.05).Conclusion The expression of DCBLD1 and CKAP2 in CC cancer tissues is significantly increased,which is related to EMT related indicators and plays a promoting role in the progression of CC tumors.They are new prognostic markers for CC.

To explore the immunomodulatory effects of a new vegetable oil adjuvant(named E515)containing vitamin E(VE)and ginsenosides(GS)on rabbit peripheral blood lymphocytes and Bordetella of rabbit inactivated vaccine.E515,Bordetella bronchiseptica(Bb)and LPS were co-cultured with rabbit peripheral blood lymphocytes in vitro,and the lymphocyte conversion rate was detected by CCK8 method,and the content of lymphocyte supernatant cytokines was detected by ELISA method.After rabbits were immunized with E515-Bb vaccine,the antibody level was detec-ted by indirect ELISA,the serum cytokine content was detected by ELISA,and the protective effect of E515-Bb vaccine on rabbits was observed by challenge test.In vitro cell experiments showed that E515 could significantly increase lymphocyte proliferation and TH1/TH2 cytokine se-cretion in rabbit peripheral blood.In vivo animal experiments showed that E515 adjuvant could sig-nificantly enhance the level of Bb specific antibody induced by Bordetella vaccine in rabbits.In-crease the secretion level of TH1/TH2 cytokines and decrease the secretion level of TNF-α;It can effectively protect rabbits against Bordetella infection with a protection rate of 91.67％.Therefore,E515 as a new vegetable oil adjuvant deserves further study.

Objective:Through the comparative analysis of the payment program for the therapeutic value of Traditional Chinese Medicine dominant diseases in 8 provinces,we found the shortcomings of the existing program and put forward the perfect policy suggestions.Methods:Comparative analysis of the core content of the programs in various places,the selection of disease types,efficacy evaluation indexes,the application of the payment link and the protection mechanism.Results:The fragmentation of existing programs is an obvious problem,the specific content settings of each item are quite different,reflecting differences in the understanding of the core content of the program,the existence of inconsistent understanding of Chinese medicine's therapeutic value,the failure to link the payment standard to the results of the therapeutic value evaluation,and the lack of recognition of the value of Chinese medicine's technical labor,among other problems.Conclusions:We can select disease types based on the prominent advantages of Traditional Chinese medicine,learn from the evaluation framework of western medicine value-based medical care,construct the evaluation system of Chinese medicine therapeutic value,and carry out"equal price"payment based on the"same effect"of health results,set performance indicators and payment standards in stages,realize the whole process management of disease,and enhance the Traditional Chinese Medicine's therapeutic value,and promote the development of Traditional Chinese Medicine inheritance and innovation.
