Objective: To investigate the factors influencing intraoperative blood transfusion in patients with hip fractures and to develop a machine learning (ML) model for predicting this risk. Methods: A total of 424 patients with hip fractures who underwent surgical treatment between November 2022 and March 2025 in our hospital were selected. Key feature variables of intraoperative blood transfusion risk were identified using the Boruta algorithm. Four different ML algorithms—support vector machine (SVM), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), mixed discriminant analysis (MDA), and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost)—were used to develop predictive models for intraoperative blood transfusion risk. The predictive performance of the four ML models were evaluated using accuracy, precision, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, precision-recall curves (PRC), precision-recall gain curves (PRGC), and F1 scores. Shapley additive interpretation (SHAP) was used to interpret the final model. Results: Among the 424 patients, 77(18.2%) received intraoperative blood transfusion. The Boruta algorithm identified albumin (ALB), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), types of anesthesia, types of fracture, and hemoglobin (Hb) as key feature variables for predicting intraoperative blood transfusion risk. In model evaluation, the SVM model outperforms the other three models across multiple metrics, including the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), recall, recall gain, accuracy, precision, F1 score, and the area under the precision-recall curve (PRC-AUC). The SVM model, interpreted and visualized based on SHAP values, effectively predicted intraoperative blood transfusion risk in patients with hip fracture. A visual online application was developed based on the SVM model (https://pbo-nomogram.shinyapps.io/blood/). Conclusion: Preoperative low ALB and Hb levels, prolonged APTT, general anesthesia, and intertrochanteric fractures are risk factors for intraoperative blood transfusion in hip fracture patients. The risk prediction model for intraoperative blood transfusion constructed based on the SVM algorithm has optimal performance, which provides new ideas and methods for the clinical early identification of hip fracture patients with high transfusion risk and the implementation of targeted interventions.

Aim To investigate the effects of the fangchinoline derivative LYY-32 on the biological prop-erties of the BLM642-1290 DNA helicase,in order to lay a foundation for further research on its antitumor activity.Methods Fluorescence polarization assay,malachite green-phosphate and ammonium molybdate colorime-try,and fluorescein-labeled DNA gel electrophoresis experiments were conducted to study the effects of fangchinoline derivative LYY-32 on the DNA binding activity,ATPase activity,and DNA unwinding activity of BLM642-1290 DNA helicase.The effects of LYY-32 on the DNA unwinding activity of DNA helicase in cells were studied using fluorescent techniques and time-lapse microscopy.Ultraviolet spectral scanning was used to investigate the effects of LYY-32 on the confor-mation of the BLM642-1290 DNA helicase.Results At a concentration of 10 μmol·L-1,the inhibition rate of LYY-32 on BLM642-1290 DNA helicase binding to dsDNA was 53.17％.At a concentration of 5 μmol·L-1,the inhibition rate of LYY-32 on BLM642-1290 DNA helicase binding to ssDNA was 88.49％.The inhibition rate of LYY-32 on the ATPase activity of BLM642-1290 DNA he-licase was 89.3％at a concentration of 50 μmol·L-1.When the concentration of LYY-32 exceeded 5μmol·L-1,its inhibition rate on the DNA unwinding activity of BLM642-1290 DNA helicase was 100％.LYY-32 also significantly inhibited the DNA unwinding ac-tivity of DNA helicase in cells.However,LYY-32 had no effect on the conformation of BLM642-1290 DNA heli-case.Conclusion The DNA binding activity,AT-Pase activity,and DNA unwinding activity of BLM642-1290 DNA helicase could be significantly inhibi-ted by the fangchinoline derivative LYY-32.

Objective To investigate the expression of serum long non-coding RNA X-inactive specific transcript(lncRNA XIST)and microRNA-126-3p(miR-126-3p)in patients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC),and their relationship with recurrence after radical surgery.Methods A total of 108 NSCLC patients who underwent radical surgery and were admitted to General Hospital of Southern Theater Command of the People's Liberation Army of China from February 2019 to October 2020 were selected as the NSCLC group,and 52 healthy volunteers who underwent physical examination in this hospital were selected as the control group.qRT-PCR method was used to detect the relative expression levels of serum lncRNA XIST and miR-126-3p.Pearson method was used to analyze the correlation between serum lncRNA XIST and miR-126-3p expression.Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of postoperative recurrence in NSCLC patients.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of serum lncRNA XIST and miR-126-3p on postoperative recurrence in patients.Results The expression level of serum lncRNA XIST in the NSCLC group was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05),while the expression level of miR-126-3p was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).The expression levels of serum lncRNA XIST and miR-126-3p were related to TNM staging and lymph node metastasis(P<0.05).Bioinformatics website predicted that there was a targeted binding site between lncRNA XIST and miR-126-3p,and serum lncRNA XIST was negatively correlated with miR-126-3p expression(r=-0.579,P<0.05).Compared with the non-recurrent group,the expression level of serum lncRNA XIST in the recurrent group increased(P<0.05),while the expression level of miR-126-3p in the recurrent group decreased(P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis results showed that lncRNA XIST,miR-126-3p,lymph node metastasis,and TNM staging were the influencing factors for postoperative recurrence in NSCLC patients(P<0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of serum lncRNA XIST,miR-126-3p,and the combination of the two in prediction of postoperative recurrence in NSCLC patients were 0.750,0.886,and 0.933,respectively,the combined prediction of the two was superior to individual prediction(Zcombination vs.lncRNA XIST=4.076,Zcombination vs.miR-126-3p=2.065,P<0.05).Conclusion The expression of serum lncRNA XIST is increased and miR-126-3p is decreased in NSCLC patients,both of which have certain predictive value for recurrence after radical surgery in patients.

The receptor-binding region(RBD)of the spike protein(S)on the surface of porcine epi-demic diarrhea virus(PEDV)is a critical structural domain mediating viral invasion of host cells and serves as a key target for inducing neutralizing antibodies.In order to prepare antibodies that can be used to study the biological function of PEDV RBD and develop novel diagnostic and thera-peutic methods,recombinant RBD protein expressed in Sf9 insect cells was utilized as an immuno-gen to immunize BALB/c mice.Monoclonal antibodies(mAbs)were generated via hybridoma tech-nology,and positive hybridoma clones were screened using indirect ELISA.The reactivity of the mAbs was subsequently characterized.The results of ELISA,Western blot,and indirect immuno-fluorescence assay(IFA)showed that three monoclonal antibodies screened(3E5,4F9 and 5A5)had good reactivity with the virus and RBD protein.Antibody subtype results showed that 3E5 and 4F9 were of IgG1 subtypes and 5A5 was of IgM subtype.Neutralization assay further revealed that 3E5 monoclonal antibody had viral neutralizing activity.In this study,three monoclonal antibodies against PEDV RBD proteins were successfully prepared,providing the basis for the study of the bi-ological function of RBD proteins,PEDV serologic detection and vaccine development.

Objective:To analyze the correlation of bone mineral density (BMD) , serum transforming growth factor β1 (TGF- β1) , and retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) with osteoporosis in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) . Methods:A total of 180 GDM patients admitted to Department of Gynecology, Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University from Jan. 2022 to Jan. 2024 were included as the observation group, and 30 healthy pregnant women undergoing examination at the same time were included into the control group. BMD [stiffness index (SI) , broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA) , speed of sound (SOS) ], serum TGF-β1, and RBP4 levels were compared between the two groups; GDM women with complicated with osteoporosis were included in the osteoporosis subgroup, and pregnant women without osteoporosis were included in the non-osteoporosis subgroup. BMD, serum TGF- β1 and RBP4 levels were compared between the two groups, and the relationship among bone mineral density and serum TGF- β1, RBP4 was analyzed by Pearson correlation. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) curve was drawn to evaluate the diagnostic value of serum TGF- β1 and RBP4 levels in GDM complicated with osteoporosis. Results:The observation group had significantly higher levels of serum TGF- β1 and RBP4 than the control group, while lower BUA, SOS and SI ( t=99.04, 28.48, 4.10, 3.54, 6.29, P < 0.05) ; Among 180 pregnant women with GDM, 38 cases had osteoporosis and 142 cases did not have osteoporosis. The osteoporosis subgroup had significantly higher serum TGF- β1 and RBP4 levels than the other subgroup, while BMD indexes such as BUA, SOS and SI were significantly lower ( t=3.35, 3.48, 3.77, 2.85, 3.41, P < 0.05) ; Pearson correlation analysis showed that BMD indexes, such as BUA, SOS and SI, were significantly correlated with serum TGF- β1 and RBP4 in pregnant women with GDM ( r=-0.61, 0.58, -0.60, -0.58, -0.60, -0.63, P<0.05) ; The area under the curve (AUC) of TGF- β1, RBP4 and combined detection of GDM women with osteoporosis was 0.572, 0.653 and 0.659, respectively. Conclusions:In GDM women complicated with osteoporosis, the levels of serum TGF- β1 and RBP4 increase significantly, and BMD decreases significantly. Serum TGF- β1 and RBP4 in GDM women are closely related to BMD index, which can provide early diagnosis basis for GDM complicated with osteoporosis.

Objective:To analyze the correlation of serum salt-induced kinase 2 (SIK2) and receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) expression levels with osteoporosis in perimenopausal women.Methods:A total of 500 perimenopausal women admitted to the Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University from Jan. 2023 to Jun. 2023 were studied and separated into osteoporosis group and non-osteoporosis group according to with or without osteoporosis. The general data, serum SIK2 and RANKL expression levels and bone metabolism indexes [type I collagen carboxy peptide (CTX), procollagen I N-Terminal propeptide (PINP), and osteocalcin of N-MID-Osteocalcin (N-MID-OT) ] were compared between the two groups. The correlation of the expression levels of serum SIK2 and RANKL with bone metabolism indexes was analyzed by Pearson correlation; The risk factors of osteoporosis in perimenopausal women were analyzed by Logistic multi-factor model. Results:Of the 500 patients, 88 had osteoporosis (17.6%) ; The serum levels of SIK2 and RANKL, CTX, PINP and N-MID-OT in osteoporosis group were significantly higher than those in non-osteoporosis group ( t=7.53, 13.11, 19.69, 28.79, 26.14, P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum SIK2 and RANKL levels were significantly positively correlated with all indexes of bone metabolism ( r=0.541, 0.480, 0.447; r=0.369, 0.516, 0.482, P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the number of births, diabetes, SIK2, RANKL and bone metabolism were the factors affecting the incidence of osteoporosis in perimenopausal women ( OR=2.123, 2.243, 3.083, 4.773, 3.789, 2.927, 2.633, P<0.05) . Conclusions:SIK2 and RANKL may be involved in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis by promoting bone turnover imbalance. Together with fertility times, diabetes mellitus and bone metabolism indexes, SIK2 and RANKL are all factors in the development of osteoporosis in perimenopausal women.

Objective To investigate the practical effects of pediatric rapid sequence intubation(RSI)nursing coordination training based on the LSPPDM(learn,see,practice,prove,do,maintain)framework in order to provide evidence for optimizing pediatric RSI nursing training programs.Methods Nurses from the intensive care unit(ICU)of Children's Hospital,Fudan University during Feb 2023 and Jan 2024 were divided into the experimental group(n=35)and the control group(n=35)by block randomization.The experimental group received LSPPDM framework-based training,while the control group underwent conventional training with theoretical lectures and procedural demonstrations.Outcomes included training satisfaction,theoretical knowledge and procedural skill assessment scores,team collaboration compliance and RSI procedure time were compared between the two groups.Results The experimental group demonstrated significantly higher training satisfaction(123.80±2.04 vs.117.26±9.82,P<0.05),superior post-training theoretical knowledge and procedural skills(P<0.05),enhanced team collaboration compliance(P<0.05),and shorter RSI completion time(P<0.05)compared with the control group.Conclusion Pediatric RSI nursing coordination training based on the LSPPDM framework can effectively increase training satisfaction,promote theoretical and procedural skills and reduce completion time in nurses.

Objective To investigate the possible association between cross-domain associative memory(AM)impairment and hippocampal subfield volumes in patients with schizophrenia(SCZ).Methods We enrolled 28 SCZ patients from Shanghai Mental Health Center,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine,and 28 healthy controls(HCs)between 2019 and 2021.Based on an innovative AM paradigm and automated segmentation,3D-T1 weighted data of the objects were processed with PhiPipe and FreeSurfer.Differences in subfield volums between the two groups were analyzed using ANCOVA,while their relationship with AM scores was assessed using Pearson correlation.Results SCZ patients exhibited significantly poorer AM performance across three conditions compared with HCs.Marginally significant reductions were observed in the total volume of bilateral hippocampus,encompassing both the hippocampal head and body.Significant volume reductions were identified in the bilateral presubiculum and parasubiculum.The volumes of bilateral presubiculum head(r=0.273,P=0.042),parasubiculum(r=0.397,P=0.002),and CA1 head(r=0.382,P=0.004)exhibited positive correlations with cross-domain AM performance.Conclusion The bilateral presubiculum and parasubiculum,as hippocampal subregions significantly associated with cross-modal AM deficits in SCZ,may play a crucial role in the pathology of AM.

Objective:To explore the expression changes of nerve growth factor (NGF)/tropomyosin receptor kinase A (TrkA) signaling pathway of dorsal root ganglia (DRG) in incisional rat remifentanil-induced hyperalgesia and its effect on the expression of membrane delta opioid receptor (DOR).Methods:A total of 48 SPF male SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups based on body weight matching, with 8 in each group, which were control group (infusion of 0.9% NaCl solution via the tail vein), incision pain group (incision pain model established using the Brennan method), remifentanil group (infusion of remifentanil via the tail vein), incision pain+ remifentanil model group (incision pain model established using the Brennan method, followed by infusion of remifentanil via the tail vein), NGF group and TrkA inhibitor group(established incision pain+ remifentanil model after intrathecal injection of NGF (0.06 μg/g) or K252a (0.3 μg/g, TrkA inhibitor)). Mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (PWT) was used to assess pain sensitivity in rats. Western blot was employed to measure the expression of NGF, TrkA, and the total DOR(tDOR) and the membrane DOR(mDOR) in DRG tissues. Immunoelectron microscopy was used to detect subcellular DOR expression in DRG. Data were processed using SPSS 24.0 software. Multiple comparisons among groups were conducted by repeated measures ANOVA or one-way ANOVA, and post-hoc comparisons were performed using the Bonferroni test.Results:(1) The results of pain behavior showed that there was a significant interaction effect between time and group in the comparison of PWT among the six groups of rats before and after intervention ( F=345.817, P<0.001). At each time point after intervention, the PWTs of the incision pain+ remifentanil group were lower than those of the incision pain group and remifentanil group, the PWTs of the NGF group were lower than those of the incision pain+ remifentanil group, and the PWTs of the TrkA inhibitor group were higher than those of the incision pain+ remifentanil group and NGF group (all P<0.05). (2)The Western blot results showed that there were statistically significant differences in the relative levels of NGF, TrkA, and mDOR in the DRG tissues of the six groups of rats ( F=156.2, 163.8, 421.2, all P<0.001). The levels of NGF, TrkA, and mDOR proteins in the incision pain+ remifentanil group (1.45±0.07, 1.46±0.04, 3.01±0.20) were higher than those in the incision pain group (1.25±0.05, 1.24±0.04, 1.84±0.05) and remifentanil group (1.24±0.04, 1.26±0.03, 1.84±0.04) (all P<0.05). The levels of NGF, TrkA, and mDOR in the NGF group (1.57±0.03, 1.58±0.07, 3.74±0.25) were higher than those in the incision pain+ remifentanil group (all P<0.05). The relative expression levels of TrkA, and mDOR in the TrkA inhibitor group (1.25±0.04, 1.68±0.07) were lower than those in the incision pain+ remifentanil group and the NGF group (all P<0.05). (3)The results of immunoelectron microscopy showed that there were statistically significant differences in the localization of DOR in the cell membrane, subcellular sites of synthesis pathways, and subcellular localization of degradation pathways among the six groups of rat DRG tissues ( F=140.3, 60.63, 60.28, all P<0.01). The DOR of the synthesis pathway of incision pain+ remifentanil group was higher than that of the incision pain group and remifentanil group, while the DOR of the synthesis pathway of NGF was higher than that of the incision pain+ remifentanil group.The DOR of the synthesis pathway of TrkA inhibitor group was lower than that of the incision pain+ remifentanil group and NGF group (both P<0.05). The DOR of the degradation pathway in the incision pain+ remifentanil group was lower than that in the incision pain group and remifentanil group, the DOR of the degradation pathway in the NGF group was lower than that in the incision pain+ remifentanil group, and the DOR of the degradation pathway in the TrkA inhibitor group was higher than that in the incision pain+ remifentanil group and NGF group (both P<0.05). Conclusion:The NGF/TrkA signaling pathway is involved in rat incisional pain-remifentanil hyperalgesia by upregulating the delta opioid receptor of the dorsal root ganglia.

Objective:To analyze the predictive role of WT1 expression levels pre-and early post-transplantation on relapse and overall survival(OS)in patients with acute myeloid leukemia(AML)undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT)during their first complete remission(CR1).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 107 adult AML patients who underwent allo-HSCT during their CR1 at our center between May 2012 and December 2021.The predictive role of bone marrow WT1 expression levels before transplantation and at 3 and 6 months post-transplantation on relapse and OS was explored in combination with relevant clinical factors.Results:The median follow-up time for the 107 patients was 70(range:11-117)months.Among the patients,15 cases died.Kaplan-Meier survial analysis showed that the 3-year overall survival(OS)rate was 85.0％.20 patients experienced relapse,with a median time to relapse of 8(range:0.5-44)months and a l-year cumulative relapse rate of 13.1％.The overall median value of WT1 before transplantation,3 months after transplantation,and 6 months after transplantation was 0.26％(range:0％-23.64％),with an upper quartile value of 0.74％.No statistically significant differences in WT1 expression levels were observed among the pre-transplantation,3-month post-transplantation,and 6-month post-transplantation time points(P=0.227).Univariate analysis showed that patients with WT1 levels＞0.74％at 3 months post-transplantation had a higher 1-year relapse rate(P=0.029)and lower 3-year OS rate(P＜0.001)compared to patients with WT1 levels ≤0.74％.Other significant factors affecting 1-year relapse included stem cell source(P=0.041)and chronic graft-versus-host disease(cGVHD)(P=0.013).For 3-year OS,additional influencing factors were genetic high risk(P=0.048)and stem cell source(P=0.016).Multivariate analysis revealed that WT1 level＞0.74％at 3 months post-transplantation had a trend to affect 1-year relapse rate(HR=3.309,95％CI:0.958-11.431,P=0.058),while the absence of cGVHD was an independent risk factor for 1-year relapse(HR=3.473,95％CI:0.749-16.100,P=0.037).Only WT1 level＞0.74％at 3 months post-transplantation was an independent risk factor for 3-year OS(HR=6.886,95％CI:2.402-19.738,P＜0.001).Conclusion:High WT1 expression level at 3 months post-transplantation in AML patients undergoing allo-HSCT during CR1 affects the 1-year relapse rate and 3-year OS,and is an independent risk factor affecting 3-year OS.These findings suggest that dynamic monitoring of WT1 expression levels has certain value in prognostic assessment of AML patients who received allo-HSCT during CR1.
