Objective To identify risk factors associated with lymphatic leakage after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy(LRP)and to develop a machine learning-based nomogram for predicting such outcomes to support clinical prevention strategies.Methods We retrospectively analyzed perioperative data from 248 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer between January 2020 and January 2024.Independent risk factors were identified through univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses.A predictive model was developed,and its diagnostic performance was assessed by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC).Five-fold cross-validation was performed to evaluate the model's generalizability.A nomogram was subsequently constructed to facilitate individualized risk quantification.Results Among the 248 patients,89(35.9%)developed lymphatic leakage,while 159(64.1%)did not.Independent risk factors for lymphatic leakage included intraopera-tive lymph node dissection(OR=5.415,95%CI:2.167～13.532,P<0.001),intraoperative plasma transfusion(OR=2.952,95%CI:1.524～5.718,P=0.001),and postoperative fasting duration of≥2 days(OR=1.412,95%CI:1.089～1.829,P=0.009).The predictive model showed good discrimination and calibration(AUC=0.711,95%CI:0.647～0.776,P<0.001;sensitivity:0.764;specificity:0.597).Model robustness was confirmed through five-fold cross-validation(training set AUC=0.822;test set AUC=0.829).The nomogram provided a clinically useful tool for quantifying individual risk of lymphatic leakage.Conclusions Intraoperative lymph node dissection,plasma transfusion,and postoperative fasting lasting≥2 days are independent risk factors for lymphatic leakage following radical prostatectomy.The validated predictive model demonstrates favorable clinical utility.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease(CJD)is a rapidly progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by prions,with certain infectivity and iatrogenic transmission risks.With the rapid progress and application of new dia-gnostic biomarkers and detection methods,as well as the construction and improvement of surveillance and reporting systems,the detection of CJD in patients domestically and internationally has shown an increasing trend year by year.Due to its long incubation period and heterogeneity of early symptoms,early identification and diagnosis of the disease is difficult,increasing the risk of transmission within medical institutions.Currently,there is a lack of con-sensus on the infection prevention and control of CJD.In order to timely identify and diagnose CJD as well as effec-tively block its transmission in medical institutions,this consensus summarizes 15 clinical concerns and formulates 24 specific recommendations based on the latest domestic and international research findings and clinical evidence,as well as combines with clinical practice,aiming to standardize healthcare-associated infection prevention and control measures for CJD and reduce its transmission risk in medical institutions.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture in treating chronic insomnia disorder based on Huang Yuanyu's theory of"central qi ascending and descending,harmony of the four dimensions"regarding visceral qi movement.Methods Sixty patients diagnosed with chronic insomnia disorder at the Preventive Treatment Department of Yangjiang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from March 2022 to February 2023.The patients were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group according to a random number table,with 30 cases in each group.The observation group received acupuncture therapy,while the control group received oral administration of Alprazolam Tablets.The treatment duration spanned 4 weeks with 1 course per week.Clinical efficacy was evaluated after 1 month,and the changes in the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI)scores and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale(HAMA)scores were observed.The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale(HAMD)scores were compared between groups before and after treatment.Results(1)After treatment,the PSQI scores of the two groups of patients were significantly improved(P＜0.05),and the observation group was significantly superior to the control group in improving the PSQI scores,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).(2)After treatment,the HAMA scores and HAMD scores in the two groups of patients were significantly improved(P＜0.05),an the observation group in improvement of HAMA and HAMD was significantly superior to the control group,with statistically statistical significance(P＜0.05).(3)The total effective rate was 83.33%(25/30)in the observation group and 70.00%(21/30)in the control group.The efficacy of the observation group was superior to that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture based on the ascending and descending of visceral qi movement theory significantly alleviates anxiety and depressive states while improving sleep quality in patients with chronic insomnia disorder,demonstrating notable clinical efficacy.

ObjectiveTo investigate the association between variant degree of sarcopenia and all-cause mortality in Chinese elderly residents, and to provide insights into the prevention and control of sarcopenia in the elderly population. MethodsData from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) from 2011 and 2020 were analyzed, and a total of 2 792 subjects aged 65 years or older were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis were performed to explore the potential factors influencing all-cause mortality among the elderly in China, and Kaplan-Meier curves were used to visualize the survival of elderly people with variant degree of sarcopenia. Finally, a multiple-adjusted Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to control the confounding factors and explore the association between sarcopenia and all-cause mortality. ResultsBefore adjusting potential covariates, univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression models showed that 10-year all-cause mortality was significantly associated with variant degree of sarcopenia, namely possible sarcopenia (HR=1.40, 95%CI: 1.1‒1.68, P<0.001), mild-to-moderate sarcopenia (HR=1.49, 95%CI:1.20‒1.86, P<0.001), and severe sarcopenia (HR=1.68, 95%CI: 1.29‒2.19, P<0.001); after adjusting all confounders, 10-year all-cause mortality remained to be significantly associated with variant degree of sarcopenia, including probable sarcopenia (HR=1.38, 95%CI: 1.15‒1.66, P<0.001), mild-to-moderate sarcopenia (HR=1.48, 95%CI: 1.19‒1.84, P<0.001) and severe sarcopenia (HR=1.71, 95%CI: 1.31‒2.23, P<0.001). ConclusionIn Chinese elderly residents, sarcopenia is positively associated with an increased risk of 10-year all-cause mortality, and the progression of sarcopenia is positively associated with an increased risk of death.

Ferroptosis is a nonapoptotic form of cell death and differs considerably from the well-known forms of cell death in terms of cell morphology,genetics,and biochemistry.The three primary pathways for cell ferroptosis are system Xc-/glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4),lipid metabolism,and ferric metabolism.Since the discovery of ferroptosis,mounting evidence has revealed its critical regulatory role in several diseases,especially as a novel potential target for cancer therapy,thereby attracting increasing attention in the fields of tumor biology and anti-tumor therapy.Accordingly,broad prospects exist for identifying ferroptosis as a potential therapeutic target.In this review,we aimed to systematically summarize the activation and defense mechanisms of ferroptosis,highlight the therapeutic targets,and discuss the design of nanomedicines for ferroptosis regulation.In addition,we opted to present the advantages and disadvantages of current ferroptosis research and provide an optimistic vision of future directions in related fields.Overall,we aim to provide new ideas for further ferroptosis research and inspire new strategies for disease diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To construct and validate a risk prediction model for delayed healing of venous leg ulcer(VLU),so as to provide a reference basis for early identification of people at high risk of delayed healing.Methods Using a convenience sampling method,331 VLU patients attending vascular surgery departments in 2 tertiary A hospitals in Sichuan Province from January 2018 to December 2022 were selected as a modeling group and an internal validation group,and 112 patients admitted to another tertiary A hospital were selected as an external validation group.Risk factors for delayed healing in VLU patients were screened using univariate analysis,LASSO regression,and multivariate logistic regression analysis,and a risk prediction model was constructed using R software,and the predictive effects of the models were examined using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve,the Hosmer-Lemeshow test,decision curve,and the bootstrap resampling for internal validation and spatial external validation were performed,respectively.Results The predictors that ultimately entered the prediction model were diabetes(OR=4.752),deep vein thrombosis(OR=4.104),lipodermatosclerosis(OR=5.405),ulcer recurrence(OR=3.239),and ankle mobility(OR=5.520).The model had good discrimination(AUC:0.819 for internal validation and 0.858 for external validation),calibration(Hosmer-Lemeshow test:χ2=13.517,P=0.095 for internal validation and χ2=3.375,P=0.909 for external validation)and clinical validity.Conclusion The model constructed in this study has good differentiation and calibration,and it can effectively predict people at high risk of delayed healing of VLU,which facilitates targeted clinical interventions to improve ulcer outcomes and reduce the risk of delayed ulcer healing.

【Objective】 To retrospectively analyze the guiding significance and effect of thromboelogram (TEG) in the clinical use of cryoprecipitation. 【Methods】 A total of 289 patients with fibrinogen reduction, admitted to our hospital between January 2018 and December 2021, were collected. They was divided into control group (using coagulation examination and clinical feature as the transfusion criteria) and observation group (above parameters plus TEG). The TEG index in the observation group before and after transfusion and Fg, APTT, PT, and TT in 2 groups of patients before and after transfusion were monitored. The efficacy and prognosis of different blood products and cryoprecipitate were compared between 2 groups of patients.) 【Results】 The efficacy of choprecipitate transfusion was better in the observation group than the control[Fg index after transfusion (g / L) 1.92±0.92 vs 1.80±1.00, P<0.05]. And less blood products were used in observation group as compared with the control[ RBC(U) 1.93±2.69 vs 2.81±3.25 (P<0.05); FFP(mL) 667±378 vs 879±455(P<0.05)]. No differences were noticed by hospital stay between the two groups, but the prognosis in the observed group was significantly better than that in the control. 【Conclusion】 It’s scientific and reasonable to apply TEG to guide the clinical transfusion of cryoprecipitate, so as to save blood resources and improve the prognosis.

【Objective】 To retrospectively analyze the clinical effects of apheresis and concentrated platelets under different transfusion strategies, so as to explore more scientific transfusion strategies. 【Methods】 A total of 279 patients with thrombocytopenia, admitted to our hospital during January 2020 and October 2021, were collected.They was divided into group A(apheresis platelet transfusion alone), group B(concentrated platelet transfusion alone), and group C(both apheresis and concentrated platelet transfusion). Platelet count of three groups were measured 24 hours before and after transfusion and their CCI values were calculated and compared to understand the differences in transfusion efficiency and adverse reactions, as well as the efficacy among three groups with different blood groups. 【Results】 Patients, received solo apheresis platelets, demonstrated a lower incidence of transfusion refractoriness and adverse reactions, but also a lower treatment efficacy(14.63±13.48)(P<0.05). However, the treatment efficacy of patients, received solo concentrated apheresis, could reach 16.00±21.77, but presented a higher incidence of transfusion refractoriness and adverse reactions. Patients, received both apheresis and concentrated platelets, maintained a good treatment efficacy(16.21±16.33), with a low incidence of transfusion refractoriness and adverse reactions.At the same time, different blood types also affect the treatment efficacy of platelet transfusion. 【Conclusion】 The simultaneous transfusion of apheresis and concentrated platelets contributes to the effective treatment of patients and lower incidence of adverse reactions.
