Objective:To explore the independent risk factors for chemoresistance during gemcitabine plus cisplatin (GC) adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced bladder cancer after radical cystectomy and to construct a related predictive model.Methods:The clinical data of 228 patients with locally advanced bladder cancer who received GC chemotherapy after radical cystectomy at Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University, from January 2013 to June 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 184 were males, and 44 were females, with an average age of (68.8±10.6)years and an average body mass index (BMI) of (24.2±3.6)kg/m 2. According to tumor progression during chemotherapy, patients were divided into a chemotherapy-resistant(CR) group ( n=59) and a non-chemotherapy-resistant(NCR) group ( n=169). Independent sample t-test, chi-square test, and non-parametric test were used to compare general clinical characteristics and relevant examination results during chemotherapy between the two groups. Multivariate linear regression analysis was used to identify independent risk factors for GC chemoresistance. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to match the TNM stage data between the two groups, and Kaplan-Meier and log-rank tests were used to compare overall survival(OS)after matching. Results:The median number of chemotherapy cycles was 3 in the CR group and 4 in the NCR group. Compared with the NCR group, CR patients were younger [(66.3±9.4) years vs.(69.7±10.9)years], had a higher proportion of kidney transplantation history[6.8%(4/59) vs. 0.6%(1/169)], hypertension [50.8%(30/59) vs. 36.1%(61/169)], coronary heart disease[23.7%(14/59) vs.9.5% (16/169)], and hydronephrosis [13.6%(8/59) vs. 4.1%(7/169)](all P<0.05). CR patients had a higher proportion of T 4 stage [20.3% (12/59) vs. 5.9% (10/169)], N 2 stage [42.4% (25/59) vs. 8.3% (14/169)], multifocal tumors at initial diagnosis [59.3% (35/59) vs. 26.6% (45/169)], and larger maximum tumor diameter [2.5 (1.5, 3.4) cm vs. 1.6 (1.2, 2.5) cm] (all P < 0.05). The CR group showed higher proportions of long-term urinary tract infection (UTI) [90.1% (53/59) vs. 7.7% (15/169)], higher systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) [991.6 (451.0, 1577.9) vs. 462.8 (309.0, 766.7)], absolute neutrophil count [6.5(4.1, 7.8)× 10 9/L vs. 3.9 (2.9, 5.1)× 10 9/L], and platelet count [(220.0 ± 96.2)× 10 9/L vs. (191.0 ± 64.8)× 10 9/L], but lower albumin levels [(34.3 ± 4.2) g/L vs. (39.9 ± 3.8) g/L] and albumin-to-globulin ratio (A/G) [(1.2 ± 0.3) vs. (1.3 ± 0.2)] (all P < 0.05). Multivariate linear regression analysis identified only T stage and long-term UTI as independent risk factors for GC chemoresistance( P<0.05).The probability of GC chemoresistance in bladder cancer patients was calculated as: P(Chemoresistance)=[0.155×T stage+ 0.624×(long-term UTI)]×100%(long-term UTI = 1 if present during chemotherapy, otherwise=0). After PSM, survival analysis showed that the median OS was significantly higher in the NCR group (55 months) than that in the CR group (30 months) ( P=0.020). Conclusions:This study demonstrates that advanced T stage and persistent UTI are independent risk factors for GC chemotherapy resistance in locally advanced bladder cancer patients. Based on these findings, a predictive model for chemotherapy resistance probability was constructed using multivariate linear regression analysis.

The " no-accompany" service is an important measure to meet the patients′ needs for comprehensive, continuous, and high-quality diversified care and to enhance their medical experience. Starting in March 2024, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine launched a pilot " no-accompany" service in the breast surgery and dermatology wards. The hospital established a working team led by the nursing department and involving multiple administrative departments such as the medical affairs department, medical insurance office, and logistics management department. And the hospital has successfully advanced the implementation of the " no-accompany" ward program by establishing a multi-department collaborative management mechanism, standardizing the management of medical caregivers, developing a tiered fee scheme for the " no-accompany" service, and improving relevant service measures. The acceptance of the " no-accompany" service by patients increased from (3.93±0.83) in the second quarter of 2024 to (4.69±0.59) in the fourth quarter, and overall satisfaction rose from (4.18±0.73) to (4.50±0.54) (all P<0.001). The job competency of medical caregivers also improved significantly from (64.80±3.49) before starting work in March 2024 to (94.00±2.40) in the fourth quarter ( P<0.001). These findings provide a reference for the implementation of " no-accompany" services in public hospitals.

Objective To investigate the knowledge and attitude of clinical nurses on Panvascular Disease(PVD)care in Zhejiang Province,and to analyze the influencing factors,so as to provide references for constructing a systematic PVD training program.Methods The convenient sampling method was used to investigate 454 nurses from 36 general hospitals in 11 prefectures and cities in Zhejiang Province in June 2024 with a self-designed questionnaire on general information and a questionnaire on PVD nursing knowledge and attitude questionnaire,and multiple stepwise linear regression was used to analyze the impact factors.Results 452 valid questionnaires were collected and the valid recovery rate was 99.56％.Nurses scored(8.57±2.02)in knowledge dimension,(60.82±6.45)in attitude dimension.The results of multiple stepwise linear regression analysis showed that hospital grade was the factor influencing the score of nurses'knowledge towards PVD nursing in Zhejiang Province(P＜0.05).Hospital grade,whether they had received systematic knowledge training related to PVD were the factors influencing the score of nurses'attitude towards PVD nursing(P＜0.05).Conclusion Nurses in Zhejiang Province are positive about PVD nursing,but their knowledge level needs to be improved.Nursing managers should pay full attention to the training intention of clinical nurses,establish a PVD knowledge training system,and strengthen the theoretical and practical training of clinical nurses on PVD nursing,so as to promote the development of PVD nursing work.

OBJECTIVE To retrospectively investigate the incidence of surgical site infection(SSI),distribution and drug resistance of pathogens in 53 hospitals of Suzhou area from 2020 to 2023 so as to provide strategies for pre-vention and control of the hospital-associated infections in Suzhou area.METHODS The data regarding the SSI,distribution and drug resistance of pathogens were statistically analyzed through Suzhou City Regional Hospital In-fection Surveillance Platform.RESULTS The incidence of SSI was 0.24％among the 53 hospitals from 2020 to 2023.Staphylococcus aureus,Enterococcus faecalis,Staphylococcus epidermidis,Enterococcus faecium and Staphylococcus haemolyticus ranked the top 5 species of gram-positive bacteria;Escherichia coli,Klebsiella pneumoniae,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Enterobacter cloacae and Acinetobacter baumannii ranked the top 5 spe-cies of gram-negative bacteria.There were significant differences in the distributions of S.aureus,K.pneumoniae and A.baumannii in the superficial,deep and organ cavities(P＜0.05).The isolation rate of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii(CRAB)was 69.23％,and the isolation rate of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus au-reus(MRSA)was 42.14％.The drug resistance rate of the S.aureus strains to oxacillin reached up to 40.24％;the drug resistance rates of the A.baumannii to imipenem and meropenem reached up 63.00％and 65.80％,re-spectively.The drug resistance rates of the K.pneumoniae strains to imipenem and meropenem approximated to 30％,and the drug resistance rate to tigecycline was 19.84％.CONCLUSIONS The total incidence of SSI shows a downward trend in the 53 hospitals of Suzhou area.The S.aureus is the major species of pathogens,and some of the pathogens show high drug resistance rates.

ln the context of the high-quality development of public hospitals,research management is transitioning from a results-oriented approach to a full-process management model,necessitating the exploration of a governance system that integrates topic guidance,process support,and outcome transformation.Based on the Knowledge-to-Action and SECl model,it analyzes the construction logic and application effectiveness of the nursing research rounds mechanism at a teritary grade A hospital in Hainan Province.Through a"three-tier stratification+dual-track collaboration+full-process closed-loop"design,the mechanism bridges the chain from"clinical problem identification to research path optimization to outcome transformation",significantly enhancing research participation,research plan standardization,and research output.The findings validate the practical value of the research rounds mechanism in promoting knowledge transformation,capability enhancement,and organizational knowledge retention.

AIM: To investigate the mechanism of Hexue Mingmu Tablets(HXMMT)in improving diabetic retinopathy(DR)based on transcriptomics.METHODS: Zebrafish DR models were established by 3-day glucose induction(130 mmol/L)starting at 3 days post-fertilization(dpf). Larvae were randomized into four groups: control group(CG; aquaculture water), model group(MG; 130 mmol/L glucose), low-dose HXMMT treatment group(L-HX; 130 mmol/L glucose +7.5 mg/L HXMMT), and high-dose HXMMT treatment group(H-HX; 130 mmol/L glucose +75 mg/L HXMMT), with a 3-day intervention period until 6 dpf. The area and length of eyes, and body length of zebrafish were observed by stereomicroscopy, retinal morphology was observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining(HE), and retinal vessel diameter was observed under fluorescence microscope. Differentially expressed genes(DEGs)were identified by RNA-sequencing(RNA-seq)technology to further elucidate the molecular mechanism of HXMMT in improving DR in zebrafish, and the sequencing accuracy was validated through quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR).RESULTS: HE staining demonstrated that the intervention with HXMMT significantly improved the disordered cell arrangement, widened gaps, and thickened inner nuclear layer(INL)in ganglion cell layer GCL); retinal vascular diameter quantification revealed that the retinal vessel diameter of the MG significantly increased compared with the CG, and it was significantly changed after the intervention of HXMMT, with significant efficacy in the H-HX(P<0.05); transcriptomics profiling identified 1 470 reversed DEGs, predominantly enriched in the AMPK signaling pathway, FoxO signaling pathway, retinal developmental processes, and tight junction regulation. Technical validation confirmed strong correlation between qRT-PCR and RNA-seq data(R2=0.8571, P<0.05).CONCLUSION: HXMMT may improve retinal vascular microcirculation disorders in DR by regulating core targets including vsx1, pde6c, arr3a, plk1, fbp1b, foxo1a, pcna, and cdk1, as well as synergistically modulating processes such as retinal development in camera-type eyes, visual perception, microtubule cytoskeletal organization, tight junctions, and the AMPK signaling pathway, Foxo signaling pathway.

BackgroundSocial support can help alleviate depressive symptoms in patients with major depressive disorder （MDD） and improve individual levels of empathy. The higher the level of empathy， the lower the probability of depressive symptoms. At present， the relationship between social support， empathy and depressive symptoms in MDD patients is unclear. ObjectiveTo explore the pathway of empathy in the relationship between social support and depressive symptoms in patients with MDD， so as to provide references for clinical treatment of MDD patients. MethodsA total of 126 patients who visited the outpatient clinic of Tianjin Anding hospital from July 2020 to September 2022 and met the diagnostic criteria for Major Depressive Disorder （MDD） according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders， fifth edition （DSM-5） were selected as the study subjects. Hamilton Depression Scale-17 item （HAMD-17）， Interpersonal Reactivity Index （IRI） and Social Support Rating Scale （SSRS） were used for assessment. Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to examine the correlations among the scale scores. Path analysis was performed using Model 4 of the Process 3.4.1. Bootstrap method was used to test the path effects. ResultsAmong MDD patients， HAMD-17 total score was positively correlated with IRI total score and its subscales of fantasy and personal distress （r=0.225， 0.213， 0.220， P<0.05）. HAMD-17 total score was negatively correlated with SSRS total score and its subscales of subjective support and support utilization （r=-0.211， -0.181， -0.208， P<0.05）. The score of support utilization subscale of SSRS was positively correlated with IRI total score and its subscale of perspective taking and empathic concern （r=0.257， 0.261， 0.331， P<0.01）. Empathy served as a pathway between support utilization and depressive symptoms， with an indirect effect of 0.217 （95% CI： 0.060~0.426）， and the effect size was 36.90%. ConclusionEmpathy may serve as a pathway between support utilization and depressive symptoms in patients with MDD.

BACKGROUND: Delayed platelet engraftment is a common complication after umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT), and there is no standard therapy. Avatrombopag (AVA) is a second-generation thrombopoietin (TPO) receptor agonist (TPO-RA) that has shown efficacy in immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). However, few reports have focused on its efficacy in patients diagnosed with thrombocytopenia after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study at the First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China to evaluate the efficacy of AVA as a first-line TPO-RA in 65 patients after UCBT; these patients were compared with 118 historical controls. Response rates, platelet counts, megakaryocyte counts in bone marrow, bleeding events, adverse events and survival rates were evaluated in this study. Platelet reconstitution differences were compared between different medication groups. Multivariable analysis was used to explore the independent beneficial factors for platelet implantation. RESULTS: Fifty-two patients were given AVA within 30 days post-UCBT, and the treatment was continued for more than 7 days to promote platelet engraftment (AVA group); the other 13 patients were given AVA for secondary failure of platelet recovery (SFPR group). The median time to platelet engraftment was shorter in the AVA group than in the historical control group (32.5 days vs . 38.0 days, Z  = 2.095, P  = 0.036). Among the 52 patients in the AVA group, 46 achieved an overall response (OR) (88.5%), and the cumulative incidence of OR was 91.9%. Patients treated with AVA only had a greater 60-day cumulative incidence of platelet engraftment than patients treated with recombinant human thrombopoietin (rhTPO) only or rhTPO combined with AVA (95.2% vs . 84.5% vs . 80.6%, P  <0.001). Patients suffering from SFPR had a slightly better cumulative incidence of OR (100%, P  = 0.104). Patients who initiated AVA treatment within 14 days post-UCBT had a better 60-day cumulative incidence of platelet engraftment than did those who received AVA after 14 days post-UCBT (96.6% vs . 73.9%, P  = 0.003). CONCLUSION Compared with those in the historical control group, our results indicate that AVA could effectively promote platelet engraftment and recovery after UCBT, especially when used in the early period (≤14 days post-UCBT).
