Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic inflammatory liver disease. The pathogenesis of AIH remains unclear, but it is mainly autoimmune injury caused by the breakdown of autoimmune tolerance due to the abnormal activation of the immune system, while the specific molecular mechanism remains unknown. Recent studies have shown that abnormal amino acid metabolism plays an important role in the development and progression of AIH. This article reviews the research advances in amino acid metabolic reprogramming in AIH, in order to provide a theoretical basis for amino acid metabolism as a new target for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of AIH.

Objective:
To assess the awareness and associated factors of wild mushroom poisoning among students in Guizhou Province, so as to provide a scientific foundation for wild mushroom poisoning prevention and control among students.
Methods:
By a multi stage stratified cluster random sampling method, 1 162 students from Guizhou Province were selected in May 2024. The questionnaire survey was administered to evaluate knowledge regarding wild mushroom poisoning. Data were analyzed employing the χ 2 test and Logistic regression model.
Results:
Among the nine questions assessing awareness of wild mushroom poisoning, only three had the awareness rate exceeding 70%. Binary Logistic regression analysis revealed that students who "actively learn about the prevention of wild mushroom poisoning" ( OR=0.48, 95%CI =0.26-0.92) and "spread knowledge about wild mushroom poisoning to others" ( OR=0.47, 95%CI =0.33-0.69) scored higher on the wild mushroom poisoning knowledge questions ( P <0.05). Conversely, students with a habit of consuming wild mushrooms ( OR=1.52, 95%CI =1.15-2.02) scored lower ( P < 0.05 ). 42.3% of the students suggested that scientific dissemination and publicity about wild mushrooms should be intensified.
Conclusions
The awareness rate of wild mushroom poisoning knowledge among students in Guizhou Province requires further attention. Comprehensive knowledge should be disseminated systematically through various channels to further improve students awareness of the prevention and control of wild mushroom poisoning.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical value of anlotinib in third-line treatment for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) through real-world data. METHODS Clinical data of patients with advanced NSCLC who received treatment at the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Chinese Medicine from February 2021 to December 2024 were retrospectively collected. They were divided into anlotinib group (27 cases, receiving anlotinib therapy) and immunotherapy group (22 cases, receiving immunotherapy agents alone or in combination with chemotherapy drugs) according to treatment regimens. The progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients were compared between the two groups, and the occurrence of adverse drug reactions during the treatment period was recorded. Using a partitioned survival model, an economic evaluation of the two treatment regimens was conducted with a cost-utility analysis approach from the perspective of the healthcare system. RESULTS The median PFS and OS of patients in the anlotinib group were 5.93 months and 11.27 months, respectively; the median PFS and OS of patients in the immunotherapy group were 5.33 months and 9.77 months, respectively; the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). There was no statistical difference in the total incidence of adverse drug reactions and grade 3-4 serious adverse drug reactions between the two groups (P>0.05). Compared with the immunotherapy group, the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of the anlotinib group was 1 806 724.60 yuan/quality-adjusted life year (QALY), which was significantly higher than three times China’s per capita gross domestic product in 2024 (287 247 yuan/QALY). CONCLUSIONS For third-line treatment of advanced NSCLC patients, the efficacy of anlotinib is no worse than that of immunotherapy alone or in combination with chemotherapy drugs, and the safety of the two groups is comparable. However, anlotinib is not cost-effective.

Objective:To develop a Cognitive Assessment Scale for Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Rehabilitation and conduct reliability and validity tests in community-dwelling patients with SCI.Methods:Based on expectation value theory, social cognition theory, and goal setting theory, a Cognitive Assessment Scale for SCI Rehabilitation was developed through literature review, group discussions, patient trials, and expert verification. From February to December 2021, convenience sampling was used to select 231 community-dwelling patients with SCI as research subjects, including 67 community-dwelling patients with SCI who participated in rehabilitation training at Shanghai Sunshine Rehabilitation Center and 164 patients with SCI in the "Hope Home" WeChat group of Shanghai Sunshine Rehabilitation Center. Research subjects were surveyed using the Cognitive Assessment Scale for SCI Rehabilitation (patient version), 9-item depression scale of Patient Health Questionnaire, 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale, EuroQol 5 Dimension-Visual Analogue Scale (EQ-VAS), General Self-Efficacy Scale, and general information questionnaire. SPSS 16.0 software and Amos 21.0 software were used for correlation analysis and reliability and validity testing.Results:The Cognitive Assessment Scale for SCI Rehabilitation (patient version) included two primary dimensions, eight secondary dimensions, and 24 items. The trial showed good results among patients with SCI and their caregivers, and experts generally agreed. Exploratory factor analysis found that the scale were divided into recognition dimension and understanding dimension. Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale was 0.98, the correlation coefficient between each item and its corresponding dimension was 0.75 to 0.88, and our results indicated good test-retest reliability. Correlation analysis showed that patient anxiety and depression scores were negatively correlated with rehabilitation cognitive scores ( P<0.05), and self-efficacy, quality of life were positively correlated with rehabilitation cognitive scores ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The Cognitive Assessment Scale for SCI Rehabilitation is scientific and feasible, with good reliability and validity, and can be used to evaluate the rehabilitation cognition of community-dwelling patients with SCI.
