BACKGROUND:Successful uterine spiral artery remodeling is necessary for normal pregnancy,in which vascular smooth muscle cells are important cells.Interferon-γ is associated with the loss of vascular smooth muscle cells during early pregnancy.However,the specific mechanism is not fully understood. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of interferon-γ on migration and apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells through NLRP3/caspase-1/GSDMD pyroptosis pathway. METHODS:Human vascular smooth muscle cells were divided into control group and interferon-γ group.The control group was cultured normally,and the interferon-γ group was treated with 10 ng/mL interferon-γ for 24 hours.The migration ability of vascular smooth muscle cells was detected by Transwell assay.The apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells was detected by TUNEL assay and flow cytometry.The mRNA expression levels of NLRP3 and caspase-1 were detected by qPCR.Western blot assay was utilized to detect NLRP3,caspase-1,and cleaved N-terminal GSDMD protein expression levels. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group,the migration ability and apoptosis rate of vascular smooth muscle cells in interferon-γ group were significantly increased(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the mRNA expression levels of NLRP3 and caspase-1 in vascular smooth muscle cells of interferon-γ group were significantly increased(P<0.05).Compared with control group,the expression levels of NLRP3,caspase-1,and cleaved N-terminal GSDMD protein in vascular smooth muscle cells in the interferon-γ group were significantly increased(P<0.05).The results suggest that interferon-γ may regulate the migration and apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells through NLRP3/caspase-1/GSDMD pyroptosis pathway.

With the accelerating process of population aging, binocular vision disorders have become increasingly prevalent, posing new challenges for both social aging strategies and ophthalmic clinical practice. Non-strabismic binocular vision anomalies(NSBVAs)are notably prevalent among elderly populations; however, current research predominantly focuses on the abnormality rates derived from individual binocular vision clinical tests, while data on the actual prevalence based on comprehensive diagnostic criteria remain limited. This review synthesizes existing scientific literature to provide a concise yet comprehensive overview of the prevalence, risk factors, and clinical diagnostic methods of NSBVAs in pre-presbyopic and presbyopic populations, with an in-depth examination of age-related changes in binocular vision function among older adults. By integrating and comparing analyses of the correlations between age and various binocular vision parameters, this review aims to enhance understanding of age-related binocular vision dysfunction and establish a theoretical foundation for developing targeted diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Ultimately, these insights could contribute to improved visual performance and life satisfaction in elderly individuals.

Objective To investigate the correlation between gene polymorphisms of coagulation factor Ⅻ(FⅫ)rs1801020 and resistin rs1862513 and unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion(URSA).Methods A total of 189 patients diagnosed with URSA and 191 healthy postpartum women during the same period were selected from the obstetric clinic of Changning Maternity and Infant Health Hospital from January 2020 to December 2022.The probe PCR was used to detect gene polymorphisms of rs1801020 and rs1862513 in peripheral blood,and the differences in genotype distribution between the groups were observed.Results The frequencies of geno-types and alleles for F Ⅻ rs1801020 in the URSA-A group were 4.9％(CC),35.7％(CT),59.5％(TT),22.7％(C),and 77.3％(T),respectively.In the control A group,the frequencies were 8.0％(CC),47.1％(CT),44.9％(TT),31.5％(C)and 68.5％(T).The frequencies of genotypes and alleles for resistin rs1862513 in the URSA-B group were 11.3％(CC),47.3％(CG),41.4％(GG),34.9％(C)and 65.1％(G).In the control B group,the frequencies were 10.2％(CC),34.1％(CG),55.7％(GG),27.3％(C)and 72.7％(G).There was no significant difference in genotype frequency of the two loci(P＞0.05),but there was a sig-nificant difference in allele frequency(P＜0.05).The distribution frequency of F Ⅻ rs1801020 T allele in the URSA group was higher than that in the control group(X2=6.32,OR=1.567,95％CI:1.100-2.238,P=0.012).The distribution frequency of resistin rs1862513 G allele in URSA group was lower than that in con-trol group(X2=4.96,OR=1.433,95％CI:1.050-1.969,P=0.026).The mutation of F Ⅻ rs1801020 C to T was a risk factor for the occurrence of URSA,while the mutation of rs1862513 C to G was a protective factor for the occurrence of URSA(P＜0.05).The combined genotype analysis showed that compared to the popu-lation carrying the rs1801020 CC+rs1862513 CC genotype combination,the population carrying the rs1801020 TT+rs1862513 CG genotype had a significantly higher risk of URSA(OR=5.684,95％CI:1.210-30.920,P=0.035).Conclusion FⅫ rs1801020 T allele may increase the risk of URSA and resistin rs1862513 G al-lele may the risk of URSA.People with rs1801020 TT+rs1862513 CG genotype combination is more likely to develop URSA than those with rs1801020 CC+rs1862513 CC genotype combination.

Drowning is a common and serious injury worldwide, especially for children and young people. Drowning occurs frequently, resulting in heavy health and economic burdens to society. This paper summarizes the progress in the research of the epidemiology of drowning both at home and abroad, including the epidemiological characteristics, risk factors and intervention measures. Through analysis on existing research literature, it is found that there are large differences in the incidence characteristics of drowning in different regions. Men and children are at high risk for drowning. Age, being man, rural environment, lack of supervision, alcohol consumption, and underlying diseases are risk factors for drowning. It is suggested to pay more attention to the problem of drowning, improve people's awareness of drowning, take appropriate intervention measures and strengthen multi-sectoral collaboration to prevent and control the incidence of drowning.

The incidence rate of aortic dissection (AD) is low, but it is highly fatal in the acute phase. Miss diagnosis and misdiagnosis can occur occasionally, resulting the miss of the best intervention time. Research on the epidemiological characteristics and of AD and related risk factors can identify high-risk groups, make screening and diagnosis as soon as possible and effectively control the changeable risk factors to reduce the incidence of AD and improve the outcome of AD cases. This paper summarizes the progress in research of the epidemiological characteristics of AD and related risk factors in order to promote early prevention and diagnosis of AD, improve the AD case management and intervention level.

Objective To construct a group psychological training for junior officers based on competency model and explore its intervention effect on competency and mental health of junior officers.Methods Delphi method was used to construct a group psychological training program for junior officers based on competency model.A total of 63 junior officers were subjected with convenience sampling during October and November 2023.According to the principle of randomized controlled experimental design,the participants were divided into experimental group(n=30)and control group(n=33).The experimental group was given our group psychological training program for totally 8 sessions,90～120 min per session,2 sessions per week,while the control group received no such training.Competency scale,12-item general health questionnaire(GHQ-12),Chinese perceived stress scale(CPSS),and Neuroticism Extraversion Openness Five-Factor Inventory(NEO-FFI)were used to assess the 2 groups before and at the end of intervention.Results ① The results of the 2 rounds of expert consultation showed that the total recovery rate was 100％,the expert authority coefficient was 0.87,the Kendall's coordination coefficients(ω)of the 2 rounds of expert consultation were 0.102(P＜0.001)and 0.410(P＜0.001),respectively,with a coefficients of variation of＜0.3,indicating reliable expert consultation.(2)The results of post-intervention time main effect indicated that the total score of competence(P＜0.001),extroversion score(P＜0.05)and responsibility score(P＜0.01)were significantly higher,but the total score of GHQ-12 was obviously lower in the experimental group than the control group(P＜0.001).(3)The results of post-intervention group main effects revealed that the extraversion score of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group(P＜0.01).(4)The results of the post-intervention time × group interaction displayed that the experimental group had notably higher total competency score(P＜0.01),job performance score(P＜0.05),extraversion score(P＜0.05),agreeableness score(P＜0.001)and responsibility score(P＜0.01),but lower total GHQ-12 score(P＜0.01)than the control group.Conclusion Competency-based modeling group psychological training for junior officers can significantly enhance the competency,strengthen the extroversion,agreeableness and responsibility in personality traits,and thus improve job performance for them.

Objective To explore the mediating role of personality traits and mental resilience in the relationship between competence and job performance among junior officers.Methods Competency Inventory,25-Item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale(CD-RISC-25),short version of the Big Five Personality Scale[Neuroticism Extraversion Openness Five-Factor Inventory(NEO-FFI)],and Chinese Perceived Stress Scale(CPSS)were used as assessment tools to survey 586 junior officers selected by convenience sampling.Results ① For junior officers,their competence was positively and moderately correlated with job performance,openness personality,extroversion personality,agreeableness personality,responsibility personality,and total score and score for each dimension of psychological resilience(P＜0.01),and negatively and moderately correlated with neuroticism personality(P＜0.01).② Significantly mediating role was observed in personality and mental resilience for competence and job performance in junior officers,with an indirect effect of 20.68％for personality and 33.18％for mental resilience.Conclusion Personality and mental resilience mediate significantly between competence and job performance in junior officers.Our findings provide a theoretical basis for the action mechanism of competence in job performance for junior officers.

Objective:To analyze the clinicopathological features and differential diagnosis of large B-cell lymphoma with IRF4 rearrangement, aiming enhance its recognition and prevent misdiagnosis.Methods:The clinicopathological features, immunophenotype, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) results of six cases diagnosed with IRF4 rearrangement-positive B-cell lymphoma at the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from 2015 to 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Additionally, a comprehensive review of the literature was conducted.Results:Six patients with IRF4 rearrangement-positive large B-cell lymphoma were included. Patients 1 to 5 included three males and two females with a median age of 19 years ranging from 11 to 34 years. Four patients presented with head and neck lesions, while the other one had a breast nodule; all were in clinical Ann Arbor stages I to Ⅱ. Morphologically, entirely diffuse pattern was present in two cases, purely follicular pattern in one case, and diffuse and follicular patterns in other two cases. The tumor cells, predominantly centroblasts mixed with some irregular centrocytes, were of medium to large size, with a starry sky appearance observed in two cases. Immunophenotyping revealed all cases were positive for bcl-6 and MUM1, with a Ki-67 index ranging from 70% to 90%, and CD10 was positive in two cases. IRF4 rearrangement was confirmed in all cases by FISH analysis, with dual IRF4/bcl-6 rearrangements identified in two cases, leading to a diagnosis of LBCL-IRF4. Case 6, a 39-year-old female with a tonsillar mass and classified as clinical Ann Arbor stage Ⅳ, displayed predominantly diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) morphology with 20% high-grade follicular lymphoma characteristics. Immunohistochemistry showed negative CD10 and positive bcl-6/MUM1, with a Ki-67 index of approximately 80%. Triple rearrangements of IRF4/bcl-2/bcl-6 were identified by FISH, leading to a diagnosis of DLBCL with 20% follicular lymphoma (FL). All six patients achieved complete remission after treatment, with no progression or relapse during a follow-up period of 31-100 months.Conclusions:Large B-cell lymphoma with IRF4 rearrangement is a rare entity with pathological features that overlap with those of FL and DLBCL. While IRF4 rearrangement is necessary for diagnosing LBCL-IRF4, it is not specific and requires differentiation from other aggressive B-cell lymphomas with IRF4 rearrangement.

Objective:To explore the application effects of application of rehabilitation care decision-making scheme based on case management model in severe burn patients.Methods:The study was a non-randomized historical control study. Thirty patients who met the inclusion criteria and received routine rehabilitation nursing in the First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University (the Third Military Medical University, hereinafter referred to as the hospital) from April 2021 to March 2022 were included in routine rehabilitation nursing group (26 males and 4 females, aged 48.50 (31.75, 56.25) years), and 30 patients who met the inclusion criteria and received case management rehabilitation nursing in the hospital from April 2022 to March 2023 were included in case management rehabilitation nursing group (22 males and 8 females, aged 46.00 (36.75, 55.25) years). The length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, total hospitalization day, and total hospitalization cost of the patients in two groups were recorded. At admission, convalescence, discharge, and 6 months after injury, the patients' life quality was evaluated by the concise burn specific health scale, the sleep quality was evaluated by the Pittsburgh sleep quality index, and the functional independence was evaluated by the functional independence rating scale. At convalescence, discharge, and 6 months after injury, the patients' scar status was evaluated by the Vancouver scar scale. At 6 months after injury, a third-party satisfaction questionnaire was used to investigate the efficacy satisfaction of patients.Results:The length of ICU stay and total hospitalization day of patients in case management rehabilitation nursing group were both significantly shorter than those in routine rehabilitation nursing group (with Z values of -1.97 and -1.99, respectively, P<0.05), and the total hospitalization cost was less than that in routine rehabilitation nursing group ( Z=-1.99, P<0.05). At discharge and 6 months after injury, the life quality scores of patients in case management rehabilitation nursing group were significantly higher than those in routine rehabilitation nursing group (with t values of -3.19 and -4.43, respectively, P<0.05), while the sleep quality scores were significantly lower than those in routine rehabilitation nursing group (with Z values of -2.18 and -3.33, respectively, P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in cognitive function scores of functional independence of patients between the 2 groups at admission, convalescence, discharge, and 6 months after injury ( P>0.05). The exercise function scores and total scores of functional independence of patients in case management rehabilitation nursing group at convalescence, discharge, and 6 months after injury were significantly higher than those in routine rehabilitation nursing group (with Z values of -4.37, -2.73, -4.10, -4.37, -2.64, and -4.06, respectively, P<0.05). The scar pigmentation scores of patients in case management rehabilitation nursing group at 6 months after injury were significantly lower than those in routine rehabilitation nursing group ( Z=-2.05, P<0.05), and the scar vascularity scores of patients in case management rehabilitation nursing group at discharge and 6 months after injury in case management rehabilitation nursing group were significantly lower than those in routine rehabilitation nursing group (with Z values of -3.16 and -2.07, respectively, P<0.05). The scar pliability scores (with Z values of -3.16, -2.45, and -4.38, respectively, P<0.05), thickness scores (with Z values of -2.56, -2.35, and -4.70, respectively, P<0.05), and total scores (with Z values of -3.77, -3.04, and -3.13, respectively, P<0.05) of patients in case management rehabilitation nursing group at convalescence, discharge, and 6 months after injury were significantly lower than those in routine rehabilitation nursing group. At 6 months after injury, the efficacy satisfaction scores of patients in case management rehabilitation nursing group were 4.00 (3.00, 4.25), which were significantly higher than 3.00 (2.00, 4.00) in routine rehabilitation nursing group ( Z=-2.72, P<0.05). Conclusions:The implementation of rehabilitation care decision-making scheme based on case management model can optimize the cost efficiency, improve the effectiveness of clinical treatment, and enhance the life quality and satisfaction of the curative effect of severe burn patients.
