With the establishment of bio-psycho-social medical model,both social and psychological factors play an important role in the occurrence,development and treatment of diseases.Hypertension is a common chronic multiple disease in China,and patients are often complicated with depression and other e-motional disorders.The interaction between hypertension and depression significantly increases the risk of poor prognosis.Current studies have shown a bidirectional promoting relationship between hypertension and depression,and they have some com-mon pathogenesis.However,the specific mechanism of their co-morbidity has not been fully elucidated.Renin-angiotensin sys-tem(RAS)plays an important role in the regulation of hyperten-sion and depression and other emotions.It is composed of two antagonistic pathways.The balance is maintained by angioten-sin-converting enzyme 2(ACE2).Therefore,this article reviews the relationship and mechanism of RAS in hypertension,depres-sion and comorbid states,in order to provide new treatment ide-as for hypertension and depression.

Objective To explore the current situation of medication safety behavior of elderly cancer patients and the path relationship of various influencing factors for improving medication safety behavior.Methods A total of 340 elderly cancer patients were investigated by a demographic questionnaire,the Medication Safety Behavior Scale,the Medication Literacy Scale,the Family Care Index Questionnaire,and the Chinese version of the Empowerment Scale for Cancer Patients from August to December 2024.The multiple linear regression analysis was applied to analyze influencing factors,and data were analyzed using SmartPLS 4.0 to construct a partial least squares structural equation model with path analysis.Results A total of 307 valid questionnaires were collected.The mean medication safety behavior score was 31.89±5.38.Residential area,drug literacy,family care,and health empowerment are factors that affect medication safety in elderly cancer patients,accounting for 37.3％of the total variation.The path analysis results indicated that health empowerment(β=0.480),medication literacy(β=0.154),and family care(β=0.227)positively correlate with medication safety behavior.Health empowerment played a partial mediating role between family care and medication safety behavior,as well as between medication literacy and medication safety behavior.The mediating effects are 0.125 and 0.332(P＜0.001),accounting for 35.51％and 68.31％of the total effect,respectively.Conclusion Medication safety behaviors among elderly cancer patients are at a median level and influenced by multiple factors.By improving their levels of health empowerment,healthcare professionals can motivate patients to take an active role in medication safety management.Further,promoting education on medication knowledge and teaching relevant medical skills,and together with guiding patients to perceive family care and support,can collectively improve their overall medication safety behaviors.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of pulse pressure variability(PPV)in early prevention and diagnosis of prostate resection syndrome by observing the changes in PPV during transurethral resection of the prostate.Methods Eighty patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate(TURP)under general anesthesia from March to April 2023 were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group,with 40 patients in each group.The control group underwent routine monitoring of invasive blood pressure,while the observation group continued to monitor PPV in addition to invasive blood pressure monitoring.Observe and record the hemodynamic parameters,electrolyte Na+,K+,CL-,Changes in hemoglobin(Hb)and hematocrit(Hct),recording surgical time,intraoperative lavage fluid dosage,and occurrence of dilutive hyponatremia(TURS).Results One patient in the observation group experienced two unexplained drops in blood pressure and heart rate during surgery,and was diagnosed with TURS based on blood gas analysis.Among them,the observation group showed a decreasing trend in PPV with the prolongation of surgery time.PPV gradually decreased at 45～60 minutes after surgery,and at 90 minutes after surgery,PPV decreased significantly compared to preoperative levels.Among them,6 patients had a 50%decrease in PPV compared to preoperative levels.For patients with significantly reduced PPV,immediate treatment was given 10～20 mg of furosemide and 10 mg of dexamethasone.By the end of surgery,PPV had basically recovered to preoperative levels.Both groups of patients showed varying degrees of decrease in Na+,K+,Hct,and Hb levels.Conclusions PPV can reflect the volume status of patients.When PPV decreases by more than 50%compared to preoperative levels and there are unexplained hemodynamic changes and abnormal clinical manifestations during surgery,it is necessary to be vigilant and handle them promptly to reduce and prevent the occurrence of TURS.

Aim To explore the effect of Trichinella spiralis(Ts)proteins on lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced inflammatory response in macrophage RAW264.7 cells.Methods The inflammation model was constructed by LPSstimulating macrophages in vitro,which were divided intothe control group,Ts group(Ts 2 mg·L-1),LPSgroup(LPS 1 mg·L-1),and Ts+LPS group(Ts 2 mg·L-1+LPS 1 mg·L-1).qRT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA levels of molecular markers of macrophage polarization,inclu-ding iNOS and Arg1,and inflammatory factors,inclu-ding IL-1 β and IL-6.The protein levels of IL-1 β,IL-6 and BRD2 were detected by Western blot further.BRD2 localization was also validated by immunofluo-rescence.In order to explore whether Ts proteins played a role in inhibiting inflammation through BRD2,si-BRD2 were transfected into RAW 264.7 cells.Once a-gain,the expression levels of iNOS,Arg1,IL-1 β,and IL-6 were detected by qRT-PCR,and IL-1 β and IL-6 were also detected by Western blot.Results Com-pared with the control group,LPS promoted the expres-sion of iNOS,IL-1 β,IL-6,and BRD2,while Ts proteins intervention decreased the expression of iNOS,IL-1 β,IL-6,BRD2.After the knockdown of BRD2,Ts pro-teins further reduced the level of iNOS,while Arg1,IL-1 β and IL-6 levels were restored.Conclusion Ts pro-teins alleviate LPS-induced macrophage inflammation by regulating macrophage polarization and inhibiting BRD2.

Diabetic macular edema(DME), a serious complication of diabetic retinopathy(DR), is a chronic condition caused by multiple factors. Throughout its progression, inflammatory factors and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)play a critical role. Anti-VEGF drugs have shown significant effectiveness in the treatment of DME; however, some patients may experience persistent DME after injection or require frequent injections. Dexamethasone intravitreal implants(DEX implants)serve as a sustained-release implant characterized by a reasonable release profile and high bioavailability. They offer safe, effective, and prolonged anti-inflammatory effects, aiding in the repair of retinal barrier and reduction of exudation. To further enhance patients' visual quality, exploring the efficacy of DEX implants in combination with existing treatment regimens has great clinical significance. This review primarily discusses the research advancements in DEX implants, focusing on their pharmacological properties, indications for use, and their combination with existing drugs and treatment methods. It also evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of combination therapy or switching to DEX implants compared to current standard treatments, aiming to provide guidance for personalized treatment options for patients with DME.

Intraoperative cell salvage (IOCS) has been widely applied as an important blood conservation measure in surgical operations. However, there is currently a lack of clinical practice guidelines for the implementation of IOCS in patients with malignant tumors. This report aims to provide clinicians with recommendations on the use of IOCS in patients with malignant tumors based on the review and assessment of the existed evidence. Data were derived from databases such as PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library and Wanfang. The guideline development team formulated recommendations based on the quality of evidence, balance of benefits and harms, patient preferences, and health economic assessments. This study constructed seven major clinical questions. The main conclusions of this guideline are as follows: 1) Compared with no perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion (NPABT), perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion (PABT) leads to a more unfavorable prognosis in cancer patients (Recommended); 2) Compared with the transfusion of allogeneic blood or no transfusion, IOCS does not lead to a more unfavorable prognosis in cancer patients (Recommended); 3) The implementation of IOCS in cancer patients is economically feasible (Recommended); 4) Leukocyte depletion filters (LDF) should be used when implementing IOCS in cancer patients (Strongly Recommended); 5) Irradiation treatment of autologous blood to be reinfused can be used when implementing IOCS in cancer patients (Recommended); 6) A careful assessment of the condition of cancer patients (meeting indications and excluding contraindications) should be conducted before implementing IOCS (Strongly Recommended); 7) Informed consent from cancer patients should be obtained when implementing IOCS, with a thorough pre-assessment of the patient's condition and the likelihood of blood loss, adherence to standardized internally audited management procedures, meeting corresponding conditions, and obtaining corresponding qualifications (Recommended). In brief, current evidence indicates that IOCS can be implemented for some malignant tumor patients who need allogeneic blood transfusion after physician full evaluation, and LDF or irradiation should be used during the implementation process.
