Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a malignancy characterized by tumor cells originating in the liver or bile ducts, exhibiting features of cholangiocyte differentiation. It poses a significant clinical challenge due to the limited diagnostic and therapeutic options available. Robust animal models are essential for advancing our understanding of CCA pathogenesis and developing effective treatments. This review provides a comprehensive overview of CCA mouse models, highlighting various approaches, including chemical induction, genetically engineered models, and tumor xenografts. Each model is discussed in terms of its establishment techniques, pathological characteristics, and research significance, with a focus on intrahepatic CCA. Chemical induction models, such as diethylnitrosamine- and azoxymethane-induced models, offer insights into tumorigenesis processes, whereas genetically modified models involving alterations in key genes such as Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog, tumor protein 53, and isocitrate dehydrogenase serve as important tools for studying the molecular mechanisms underlying CCA. Xenograft models, including patient-derived xenografts, bridge the gap between experimental research and clinical applications, allowing for precise therapeutic evaluations. By comparing these models, this review underscores their respective advantages and limitations, paving the way for future studies aiming to optimize and innovate CCA modeling strategies.

[Objective] To analyze the effects of different factors and red blood cell transfusion thresholds on the efficacy of neonatal red blood cell (RBC) transfusion, in order to provide more references for neonatal transfusions to better achieve rational and effective blood use. [Methods] A retrospective collection of data from 282 neonates who received RBC transfusions at our hospital from 2022 to 2023 was conducted, including birth weight, gestational age, number of blood transfusions, length of hospital stay, assisted ventilation during RBC transfusion, and laboratory test results before and after transfusion. SPSS software was used for statistical analysis to comprehensively analyze the impact of different factors on the efficacy of RBC transfusion in neonates. [Results] The results showed that the gestational age and weight of newborns at birth were negatively correlated with their length of hospital stay and the number of RBC transfusions during hospitalization. Newborns with younger gestational age and lower weight had longer hospital stays and more RBC transfusions during hospitalization. After administering RBCs according to the standard of 15 mL/kg, there was a statistically significant difference in the efficacy of RBC transfusion at different transfusion thresholds. In non-critical situations, RBC transfusions were ineffective when the pre-transfusion hemoglobin (Hb) level was >120 g/L. When the pre-transfusion Hb level was ≤70 g/L, RBC transfusions achieved higher efficacy in both critical and non-critical situations. [Conclusion] In critical situations, the group with pre-transfusion Hb values ≤ 70 g/L has the best RBC transfusion effect, while in non-critical situations, the group with pre-transfusion Hb levels between 81 and 90 g/L has the best RBC transfusion effect. Overall, the efficacy of RBC transfusion in non-critical situations is higher than that in critical situations.

Objective:To analyze the significance of ultrasound super microvascular imaging (SMI) combined with strain ratio (SR) in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant breast masses.Methods:A total of 110 patients with breast masses (110 lesions) admitted to Jiande Branch of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University from October 2022 to November 2024 were retrospectively selected, including 65 benign masses (benign group) and 45 malignant masses (malignant group). Both groups received SMI and strain elastography (SE) examination. The clinical and ultrasonic parameters SMI blood flow signal grade, vascular index (VI), global SR (ESR), local SR (LSR) and other indicators of the two groups were compared, and the independent risk of breast tumor malignancy was screened by Logistic regression. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the value of SMI blood flow signal grading, VI and ESR combined detection in the differential diagnosis of breast tumor malignancy.Results:The proportion of irregular shape, unclear boundary, microcalcification, convergence sign and angulation sign in the malignant group were higher than those in the benign group: 80.00%(36/45) vs. 55.38%(36/65), 57.78%(26/45) vs. 33.85%(22/65), 44.44%(20/45) vs. 13.85%(9/65), 55.56%(25/45) vs. 9.23%(6/65), 60.00%(27/45) vs. 15.38%(10/65), there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The SMI blood flow signal grade in the malignant group was higher than that in the benign group, the VI, ESR and LSR in the malignant group were higher than those in the benign group: (6.53 ± 0.68)% vs. (3.14 ± 0.36)%, 4.62 ± 0.48 vs. 2.53 ± 0.27, 31.45 ± 3.29 vs. 20.16 ± 2.35, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that irregular shape, unclear boundary, microcalcification, SMI blood flow signal grade, VI and ESR were independent risk factors for malignant breast mass ( P<0.05). ROC curve analysis results showed that the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of SMI blood flow signal classification, VI and ESR combined in predicting breast tumor malignancy were 84.26%, 83.17% and 87.65%, respectively, and the area under the curve was 0.896, which were higher than the results predicted by each index alone. Conclusions:There are certain characteristic changes of SMI in benign and malignant breast masses. SMI combined with SR has good value in differential diagnosis of benign and malignant breast masses.

Objective:To explore the chain mediating role of self-management efficacy and self-perceived burden between family function and decision fatigue in gastric cancer patients.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select 219 gastric cancer inpatients in Xinxiang Central Hospital of Henan Province from June 2023 to December 2024 as study subjects. Family Assessment Device, Chinese version of the Strategies Used by People to Promote Health, Self-Perceived Burden Scale, and Decision Fatigue Scale were used to conduct the survey. The chain mediating effect were tested using Model 6 in the SPSS PROCESS program.Results:Family function, self-management efficacy, self-perceived burden and decision fatigue scores of gastric cancer patients were (73.08±8.47), (90.15±14.33), (31.64±6.55), and (19.23±3.05), respectively. Univariate analysis showed that age, education level, per capita monthly family income, tumor stage and treatment method were the influencing factors of decision fatigue in gastric cancer patients, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that family function was negatively correlated with self-management efficacy ( P<0.05) and positively correlated with self-perceived burden and decision fatigue ( P<0.05), and self-management efficacy was negatively correlated with self-perceived burden and decision fatigue ( P<0.05), and self-perceived burden was positively correlated with decision fatigue ( P<0.05), and the differences of the above were statistically significant. Mediating effect analysis showed that family function positively predicted decision fatigue in gastric cancer patients, with a direct effect of 0.117, accounting for 62.57% of the total effect. Self-management efficacy and self-perceived burden realized the mediating effect between family function and decision fatigue through three mediating pathways. Mediating pathway 1 was family function → self-management efficacy → decision fatigue, with an effect value of 0.032, which accounted for 17.11% of the total effect. Mediating pathway 2 was family function→ self-perceived burden → decision fatigue, with an effect value of 0.026, which accounted for 13.90% of the total effect. Mediating path 3 was family function → self-management efficacy → self-perceived burden → decision fatigue, with an effect value of 0.012, accounting for 6.42% of the total effect. The total mediating effect was 0.070, accounting for 37.43% of the total effect. Conclusions:Family function can not only directly influence decision fatigue in gastric cancer patients, but also indirectly influence decision fatigue through the mediating role of self-management efficacy and self-perceived burden. Decision fatigue of gastric cancer patients could be reduced in the future by improving family function, increasing patients' self-management efficacy, and reducing their self-perceived burden.

Objective To establish and test a 3-year prognosis model for elderly intertrochanteric fractures after intramedullary nail fixation.Methods A total of 205 elderly patients with intertrochoteric fracture of femur who underwent intramedullary nail fixation in our hospital from April 2019 to April 2021 were selected for observation study,followed up for 3 years after surgery,according to the Harris score,they were divided into the good group and the poor group.Univariate analysis was conducted to investigate the influencing factors of disease prognosis in the two groups 3 years after surgery.After the variables were screened by LASSO regression and cross-validation method,the independent influencing factors of the 3-year postoperative prognosis were analyzed by multi-factor Logistic regression,and the prediction model of the nomogram was built,and the model was evaluated and validated.Results Among 205 elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures of the femur who underwent intramedullary nailing fixation,201 were followed up for 3 years.Among them,148 patients had a Harris score of ≥70 points,while 53 patients had a score of＜70 points.Univariate analysis results showed that the poor group had a higher proportion of patients with age,stroke,osteoporosis,Evans-Jensen type Ⅲ and Ⅳ fractures,poor intraoperative reduction,and a tip-apex distance of ≥ 30 mm compared to the good group,and had a lower lateral wall thickness than the good group,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).LASSO regression analysis and cross-validation were used to screen variables.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that stroke(OR=2.127,95％CI:1.478-3.061)and fracture Evans-Jensen classification Ⅲ(OR=1.149,95％CI:1.105-1.195)and type Ⅳ(OR=1.187,95％CI:1.143-1.233),intraoperative reduction was not good(OR=3.290,95％CI:2.319-4.668),apex distance ≥ 30 mm(OR=1.413,95％CI:1.066-1.874)was an independent associated risk factor for disease outcome 3 years after surgery,the external wall thickness(OR=0.600,95％CI:0.428-0.841)was an independent correlated risk factor for 3-year prognosis(P＜0.05).Based on the results of multiple factors,a nomogram prediction model was drawn,and the results showed that the model had certain predictive value for the disease outcome three years after surgery.The evaluation and verification results showed that when the threshold probability was 0-96％,the model had good clinical applicability and positive clinical net benefit.Conclusion Stroke,fracture Evans-Jensen classification Ⅲ and Ⅳ,poor intraoperative reduction,apical distance ≥30 mm,and lateral wall thickness are independent and relevant factors for 3-year prognosis of senile intertrochanteric fractures after intramedullary nail fixation.The establishment of a nematographic model has good predictive value for postoperative long-term prognosis and positive clinical net benefit.It can be used as an effective model to predict the long-term prognosis of postoperative disease.

Objective To explore the relationship between serum Niemann-pick type C1 like protein1(NPC1L1)and propro-tein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9(PCSK9)levels and the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)in Mongolian residents.Methods A total of 72 Mongolian patients with T2DM treated in Peking University Cancer Hospital,Inner Mongolia Hospital and the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University from June 2022 to June 2024 were selected as the T2DM group,and 81 healthy people in the same period were selected as the control group.LASSO model and multivariate Logistic regression model were used to screen the risk factors of disease onset.Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the correlation between NPC1L1 and PCSK9 levels and insulin function.Restricted cubic spline(RCS)model was used to analyze the dose-response relationship between NPC1L1 and PCSK9 levels and the incidence of T2DM,and explored the interaction between NPC1L1 and PCSK9 levels on the incidence of T2DM.Results NPC1L1(3.11±0.80 ng/L)and PCSK9(10.63±0.79 ng/L)in T2DM group were significantly higher than those in the control group(0.52±0.22 ng/L,3.21±0.17 ng/L),and the differences were statisti-cally significant(t=27.982,82.443,all P<0.05).NPC1L1(OR=2.458,95%CI=2.364～2.594,P<0.05)and PCSK9(OR=2.905,95%CI=2.541～3.528)were risk factors for T2DM(all P<0.001).The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that as NPC1L1 and PCSK9 levels increased,FINS,HbA1c,C-P and OGTT levels also increased accordingly.With the increase of NPC1L1 and PCSK9 levels,insulin function also decreased(all P<0.05).The results of RCS model showed that with the increase of NPC1L1 and PCSK9 levels,the probability of T2DM incidence also increased(χ2=22.334,25.537,all P<0.001).No significant interaction was found between NPC1L1,PCSK9 levels and islet function indexes(P>0.05).Conclusion The levels of NPC1L1 and PCSK9 are closely related to the risk of T2DM in Mongolian residents.With the increase of NPC1L1 and PCSK9 levels,the incidence probability of T2DM increases.

Objective·To elucidate the causal relationship between obstructive sleep apnea(OSA)and imaging-derived phenotypes(IDPs)through two-sample Mendelian randomization(MR)studies.Methods·The genetic data related to OSA were obtained from the genome-wide association study(GWAS)(ncase group=50 200,ncontrol group=401 484)in the FinnGen Biobank R11.Twenty-seven single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs)were screened out as instrumental variables of OSA.The GWAS of 3 935 IDPs was based on multimodal neuroimaging data from 39 691 individuals of European ancestry in the UK Biobank.Multiple MR methods,primarily utilizing inverse variance weighted(IVW)analysis,were applied,along with assessments for heterogeneity,pleiotropy,and sensitivity.Results·MR analysis indicated that 8 IDPs were associated with OSA.For example,the genetically determined volume of caudal middle frontal gyrus in the right hemisphere was associated with an increased risk of OSA.A one?standard-deviation increase in volume corresponded to an 11%higher risk of OSA(IVW OR=1.11,95%CI 1.06?1.17,P<0.001).Genetically determined reduced risk of OSA was associated with a resting-state functional connectivity characteristic(IVW β=-0.10,95%CI-0.19?-0.01,P=0.025),representing the functional connectivity strength between the bilateral frontal poles and the right frontal-parietal cortex.The heterogeneity test did not find significant heterogeneity among the instrumental variables.The pleiotropy test did not detect any pleiotropy.The sensitivity analysis indicated stable results.Conclusion·Eight IDPs may have a causal relationship with the occurrence of OSA,among which one IDP shows a bidirectional causal relationship,providing potential targets for non-invasive neuromodulation interventions in OSA.

Based on the summary and categorization of the literature, six categories were identified, including dynamic monitoring and assessment, classification and intervention of cirAEs, precise symptom management, multidisciplinary management, continuity of care, and specialized training, along with 18 related responsibility items.Conclusions:Oncology nurse specialist plays a significant role in the management of cirAEs. In the future, it should draw on the training models and curricula of advanced practice oncology nurses from abroad to optimize oncology nurse specialist training and nursing practices, thereby enhancing the professionalism of nursing services and the quality of patient care.

Objective:To explore the trajectory and influencing factors of dietary adherence at different periods in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), so as to provide a reference for dietary management at different periods in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select 180 patients with newly diagnosed T2DM who attended Diabetes Clinics in three ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Henan Province from May 2021 to May 2023 for the study. Patients were surveyed on the day of diagnosis (T1) and at 3 months (T2), 6 months (T3), and 12 months (T4) after diagnosis using General Information Questionnaire, Decisional Balance Scale for Diabetes Diet, Diabetes Distress Scale, Family APGAR Index, and Influence Factors of Dietary Behavior Compliance Scale for Patients with T2DM (T2DM-CFIDBS), respectively. Pearson correlation was used to test the correlation between dietary adherence, diabetes diet decisional balance, diabetes distress, and family care in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the factors influencing dietary adherence at each time point in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM. A total of 180 questionnaires were distributed, and 162 valid questionnaires were recovered, with a valid recovery rate of 90.00% (162/180) .Results:CFIDBS scores of patients with newly diagnosed T2DM at the four time points were (69.14±9.97), (61.98±8.82), (60.09±8.97), and (63.29±9.98), respectively. Body mass index and diabetes distress had an impact on patients' dietary adherence at T1, T2, T3, and T4 ( P<0.05). Perceptual deficits had an impact on dietary adherence at T1, T2, and T3 ( P<0.05). Family care had an impact on dietary adherence at T1 and T2 ( P<0.05). Perceived benefit had an impact on dietary adherence only at the T3 ( P<0.05). Education level and work status only had an impact on dietary adherence at the T4 ( P<0.05). All of these differences were statistically significant. Conclusions:Dietary adherence in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM shows a trend of decreasing and then increasing over time, and there are differences in the influencing factors at different times. Healthcare professionals should pay attention to the trajectory and influencing factors of dietary adherence in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM, and develop targeted interventions to improve patients' dietary adherence and diabetes prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the sero-conversion rate of HIV antibody and influencing factors in cross-border couples in Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture(Dehong).Methods:A cohort design was used to recruit HIV-negative people in cross-border couples in Dehong in 2017. Follow-up was conducted in 2023, and questionnaire survey and HIV test were carried out to calculate the sero-conversion rate of HIV antibody. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to analyze the influence factors for HIV infections.Results:A total of 36 278 HIV-negative persons in cross-border couples were included in the 2017 baseline survey, of whom 22 438 (61.9%) were tested in follow-up in 2023. The sero-conversion rate between 2017 and 2023 was 0.51% (115/22 438). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that length of marriage <6 years, Jingpo ethnic group, education level of primary school or below, drug use, illegal marriage and HIV infected spouse were the risk factors of HIV infection in male spouses, and length of marriage <6 years, Jingpo ethnic group, illegal marriage and HIV infected spouse were the risk factors in female spouses.Conclusions:The sero-conversion rate of HIV antibody in cross-border couples in Dehong was relatively high. HIV infection was mainly caused by secondary transmission in the couples, and men might also be infected through drug use. It is necessary to strengthen the registration and management of cross-border couples, especially the couples with discordant HIV infection status, and the intervention in drug users to reduce the risk for secondary transmission of HIV in the cross-border couples.
