Objective:To identify the risk factors for acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) undergoing haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HID-HSCT) .Methods:A total of 141 AML patients who underwent HID-HSCT at the Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, from January 2020 to July 2021 were included. The cumulative incidence of aGVHD was analyzed using the Fine-Gray competing risk model, with relapse and death as competing events, to compare differences between groups. Potential risk factors were evaluated by univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analyses to determine their independent effects on aGVHD.Results:Among the 141 patients, 86 (61.0%) were male and 55 (39.0%) were female, with a median age at transplantation of 34 years. Within 100 days post-transplant, 59 patients developed grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ aGVHD, whereas 86 patients experienced no or grade Ⅰ aGVHD (the grade 0-Ⅰ aGVHD group) . Survival analysis showed that the 3-year overall survival was 68.7% (95% CI: 57.7%-81.9%) in the grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ aGVHD group, compared with 78.8% (95% CI: 70.4%-88.3%) in the grade 0 - Ⅰ aGVHD group, with the difference not being statistically significant ( P=0.190) . Univariable analysis identified donor age ( P=0.020, HR=1.020, 95% CI: 1.000-1.040) and the female donor-male recipient sex combination ( P=0.033, HR=1.980, 95% CI: 1.160-3.380) as risk factors for grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ aGVHD. Multivariable analysis confirmed that donor age ( P=0.005, HR=1.026, 95% CI: 1.008-1.047) and the female donor-male recipient sex combination ( P=0.002, HR=2.339, 95% CI: 1.354-4.037) were independent risk factors for aGVHD. Patients receiving grafts from donors aged >45 years had a significantly higher 100-day cumulative incidence of grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ aGVHD compared with those receiving grafts from donors ≤45 years [54.7% (95% CI: 42.3%-67.0%) vs 31.6% (95% CI: 21.0%-42.1%) , P=0.006]. Similarly, patients with the female donor-male recipient sex combination had a higher 100-day cumulative incidence of grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ aGVHD than those with other sex combinations [56.8% (95% CI: 40.4%-73.1%) vs 36.9% (95% CI: 27.5%-46.3%) , P=0.015]. Conclusion:Older donor age and the female donor-male recipient sex combination remain independent risk factors for aGVHD in patients with AML undergoing HID-HSCT.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between 24-hour urinary calcium (24 h UCa) level and the risk of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), cardiovascular disease (CVD), and all-cause mortality.Methods:In the Chinese Cohort Study of Chronic Kidney Disease, we examined 3 375 patients aged 18-74 years with CKD stages 1-4. Kaplan-Meier survival and Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to test a time-to-event association between levels of 24 h UCa and incidence of ESKD, CVD, and all-cause mortality.Results:During a follow-up of 4.17 (3.37, 5.20) years, 179, 145, 104 and 38 ESKD events occurred in <0.60, 0.60-, 1.20-, ≥2.32 mmol 24 h UCa groups. Higher levels of 24 h UCa (1.20-,≥2.32 mmol) were independently associated with a lower incidence of ESKD events in patients with CKD, with HR (95% CI) of 0.71 (0.54-0.93) and 0.43 (0.29-0.64), respectively. No significant associations with CVD and all-cause mortality endpoints were detected. Conclusion:Among patients with CKD, levels of 24 h UCa displayed an association with the risk of ESKD among patients with CKD stages 1-4.

Objective To investigate the relationship between cystatin C(CysC)/prealbumin(PAB)ratio and lung function and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)assessment test(CAT)score in patients with COPD.Methods A total of 216 COPD patients admitted to the hospital from February 2021 to February 2024 were selected as the study group,and 150 healthy subjects were selected as the control group during the same period.CysC and PAB levels were detected by immunoturbidimetry,CysC/PAB ratio was calculated,lung function was detected and CAT scores were recorded.Pearson correlation was used to analyze the rela-tionship between CysC/PAB ratio,lung function and CAT score in COPD patients.Results The CysC and CysC/PAB ratio in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group,and the level of PAB was significantly lower than that in the control group,with statistical significance(P＜0.05).The forced expiratory volume in the first second as a percentage of predicted value(FEV1％pred),the percentage of pre-dicted forced vital capacity(FVC％pred)and the ratio of the first second forced expiratory volume to forced vital capacity(FEV1/FVC)of the study group were lower than those of the control group,and the CAT score of the study group was higher than that of the control group,with statistical significance(P＜0.05).The Cy-sC/PAB ratio and CAT score of COPD patients with the global initiative for chronic obstructive lung disease(GOLD)grade 4 were significantly higher than those with GOLD grade 3,GOLD grade 2 and GOLD grade 1,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The ratio of CysC/PAB in very severely affected pa-tients was higher than that in severely affected,moderately affected and mildly affected patients,while the ra-tio of FEV1％pred,FVC％pred and FEV1/FVC was lower than that in severely affected,moderately affected and mildly affected patients,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).In COPD patients,Cy-sC/PAB ratio was negatively correlated with FEV1％pred,FVC％pred,FEV1/FVC,and positively correlated with CAT score(P＜0.05).Conclusion CysC/PAB ratio is highly expressed in COPD patients,and its level is related to lung function and CAT score,which can reflect the degree of disease and quality of life in COPD patients to a certain extent.

Objective To understand the current status of knowledge-attitude-practice(KAP)regarding risk of medication safety behavior among cancer patients in western Yunnan and the related influencing factors,and to provide a basis for conducting rational medication education.Methods Using an approximate random sampling method,a KAP survey on medication safety behavior was conducted among inpatients and outpatients with cancer(aged over 18 years)in multiple hospitals in western Yunnan through online and offline questionnaires.Multiple linear regression analysis was used to explore the impact of different characteristics of the research objects on the KAP scores concerning medication knowledge,behavior,and attitude.Results A total of 512 valid questionnaires were collected.The average scores of medication knowledge,attitude,and behavior among cancer patients were(82.53±23.07),(41.98±8.64),and(67.88±10.08),respectively.Medication knowledge and behavior were at a good level,while medication attitude was at a qualified level.The multiple linear regression results showed that the educational level was a significant influencing factor of the medication knowledge and attitude scores(P＜0.001).Conclusion The overall medication safety among cancer patients in western Yunnan is in a good state,however,there is a need for improvement in medication attitudes.Educational level is the main factor affecting medication safety risk.Pharmacy services should be focused on cancer patients with lower educational levels to enhance their medication safety.

Through multi-omics testing and analysis, the study aims to conduct multi-omics big data research across the entire maternal and infant life cycle. The goal is to identify new biomarkers for maternal and infant diseases and provide scientific evidence for risk prediction related to maternal diseases and neonatal health.

Objective To explore the value of vesical imaging reporting and data system(VI-RADS)combined with absolute tumor-wall contact length(ABTCL)and actual tumor-wall contact length(ACTCL)in diagnosing muscle invasive bladder cancer(MIBC).Methods The MRI data of 113 patients with pathologically confirmed bladder cancer(BCa)were analyzed retrospectively.All patients underwent conventional MRI,diffusion weighted imaging(DWI)and dynamic contrast enhanced(DCE)MRI before sur-gery.Two radiologists independently evaluated MRI images based on VI-RADS score,and measured quantitative parameters,inclu-ding ABTCL and ACTCL.The Chi-square test was used to compare the difference of VI-RADS scores between MIBC and non-mus-cle invasive bladder cancer(NMIBC).Quantitative parameters between MIBC and NMIBC were compared by Mann-Whitney U test.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of VI-RADS,quantitative parameters and VI-RADS combined with quantitative parameters in the diagnosis of MIBC.Results VI-RADS,ABTCL and ACTCL had significant differences between MIBC and NMIBC(P＜0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)for VI-RADS,ABTCL and ACTCL in diagno-sing MIBC were 0.89,0.76 and 0.77,respectively.There was no significant difference between the AUC for ABTCL and ACTCL(P＞0.05).The AUC for VI-RADS combined with ABTCL or ACTCL in diagnosing MIBC was 0.93,higher than that of only VI-RADS(P＜0.05).Conclusion The combination of VI-RADS with either ABTCL or ACTCL can effectively improve the diagnostic performance of MIBC.ABTCL obtainedby linear measurement is easier to implement in clinical practice than ACTCL obtained by curved measurement.

Purpose To investigate the correlation between lumbar trunk muscle mass at the L3 level and the severity of lumbar facet joint osteoarthritis (FJOA) in the middle-aged and elderly population. Materials and Methods The analysis involved 312 individuals aged between 44 and 82 years in Beijing Jishuitan Hospital from March to June 2016. The total area and CT values of the lumbar trunk muscles at the L3 vertebral body's lower endplate level were measured to calculate the skeletal muscle mass index via OsiriX image processing software. Furthermore,the severity of bilateral lumbar facet osteoarthritis at the L4-5 level was assessed using the Weishaupt grading criteria. CT value of trunk muscle at L3 lower endplate level,trunk muscle area at L3 lower endplate level,skeletal muscle index,body mass index,age and FJOA grade at L4-5 right and left sides were compared between genders. The correlation between the mean value of trunk muscle CT and FJOA grade at the lower endplate level of L3 was analyzed. Results In 109 male patients,the mean trunk muscle was negatively correlated with FJOA grade on the right and left sides of L4-5 (r=-0.25,P=0.002;r=-0.28,P=0.003),while age was positively correlated with FJOA grade on the right and left sides of L4-5 (r=0.23,P=0.034;r=0.21,P=0.033). In 203 female patients,there was a negative correlation between trunk muscle mean and both right and left FJOA grade at L4-5 (r=-0.29,P<0.001;r=-0.33,P<0.001),there was a positive correlation between age and both right and left FJOA grade at L4-5 (r=0.27,P<0.001;r=0.34,P<0.001),and there was a positive correlation between body mass index and both right and left FJOA grade at L4-5 (r=0.20,P=0.018;r=0.23,P=0.004). Partial correlation analysis,controlling for age,showed that the severity of bilateral FJOA at L4-5 was somewhat negatively correlated with the mean value of the L3 trunk muscle in the male and female groups (r=-0.239,-0.249,-0.177,-0.169,all P<0.05). Conclusion Trunk muscle mass at the L3 level is negatively correlated with the severity of FJOA,and FJOA is one of the independent factors of chronic low back pain,strengthening nutritional intake and physical exercise is beneficial to prevent the occurrence and development of sarcopenia,thereby reducing the occurrence and aggravation of FJOA and reducing the burden on patients with chronic low back pain.
