Objective:To construct an early warning model of postpartum urinary retention risk after painless delivery of primipara by using machine learning algorithm,and to find the best effective early warning model,so as to provide scientific basis for early and accurate identification of high-risk groups in clinical practice.Methods:This study was a single-center retrospective study,80 primipara who delivered painlessly in Tingzhou Hospital of Fujian Province from July 2021 to June 2024 were included,they were divided into urinary retention group(18 cases)and non urinary retention group(62 cases)according to whether there was urinary retention after delivery.General data between two groups were compared,Univariate and Multivariate logistic regression were used to screen for influencing factors,three machine learning algorithms:Random Forest,Support Vector Machine,and Logistic Regression were used to construct an early warning model,the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC-AUC),accuracy,sensitivity,and specificity were used as performance evaluation indicators to evaluate the predictive performance of the model.Results:Univariate analysis showed that age,body mass index(BMI),gestational week,length of the second stage of labor,anesthetic dose,lateral episiotomy were associated with postpartum urinary retention(P＜0.05);Multivariate logistic regression identified BMI ≥ 28 kg/m2(OR=3.210,95％CI:1.450-7.090),length of the second stage of labor ≥ 2 hours(OR=2.890,95％CI:1.230-6.810),anesthetic dose≥ 15 mL(OR=3.560,95％CI:1.670-7.620),and lateral episiotomy(OR=2.540,95％CI:1.120-5.780)as independent risk factors.After comprehensive evaluation of various indicators,the random forest model has the best predictive performance.Conclusion:The risk warning model constructed based on machine learning has good predictive performance,and the random forest model performs the best,which can provide effective support for early clinical intervention.

As an indispensable trace element in the human body,copper plays an important role in various physiological and biochemical reactions.The dyshomeostasis of copper leads to the disorder of copper metabolism and the occurrence of related diseases.Cuproptosis,a newly proposed regulatory cell death mode,is different from the known apoptosis,pyroptosis,necroptosis,and ferroptosis.Recent studies have found that the dyshomeostasis of copper has been observed in a variety of cancers.Therefore,targeting copper for disease treatment may become a new strategy and a new idea.This article systematically summarizes the fundamental properties of copper,copper dyshomeostasis-related diseases (Menkes syndrome,Wilson's disease,and cancer) and their treatment,and reviews the research progress in cuproptosis.

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) combined with lower cervical fracture is often categorized into unstable fracture, with a high incidence of neurological injury and a high rate of disability and morbidity. As factors such as shoulder occlusion may affect the accuracy of X-ray imaging diagnosis, it is often easily misdiagnosed at the primary diagnosis. Non-operative treatment has complications such as bone nonunion and the possibility of secondary neurological damage, while the timing, access and choice of surgical treatment are still controversial. Currently, there are no clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of AS combined with lower cervical fracture with or without dislocation. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedics Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts to formulate Clinical guidelines for the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis combined with lower cervical fracture in adults ( version 2024) in accordance with the principles of evidence-based medicine, scientificity and practicality, in which 11 recommendations were put forward in terms of the diagnosis, imaging evaluation, typing and treatment, etc, to provide guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of AS combined with lower cervical fracture.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between the expression of serum microRNA-16(miR-16)and depression in patients with acute cerebral infarction(ACI).Methods:A total of 189 ACI patients treated in Neurol-ogy Department of Zigong First People's Hospital between December 2019 and September 2021 were selected as the disease group,and another 175 healthy volunteers who simultaneously underwent physical examination in our hospi-tal were selected as healthy group.The expression of serum miR-16 was detected by quantitative real time polymer-ase linked reaction(qRT-PCR).ACI patients was divided into depression group(n=56)and no depression group(n=133)according to presence of depression during 6-month follow-up after treatment.Serum miR-16 expres-sion and general data were compared between two groups.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze influ-encing factors of depression in ACI patients.Results:The expression of serum miR-16[(13.24±2.41)vs.(5.76±1.02)]in the disease group was significantly higher than that of healthy group(P＜0.001).After 6-month fol-low-up,the incidence of depression was 29.63％among the 189 ACI patients.Compared with no depression group,patients in depression group had significant higher serum miR-16 expression[(12.75±2.23)vs.(14.42±2.68)],score of National Institute of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)at admission[(15.12±2.88)points vs.(18.23±3.42)points],proportions of introversion(38.35％vs.67.86％)and aphasia(43.61％vs.62.50％),and signif-icant lower Barthel index score[(56.24±9.89)points vs.(48.41±9.45)points](P＜0.05 or＜0.01).Multivari-ate Logistic regression analysis suggested that serum miR-16 expression(OR=3.071,95％CI 1.653～5.562,P＜0.001),introversion(OR=4.623,95％CI 2.321～6.589,P=0.009),aphasia(OR=3.854,95％CI 1.785～6.112,P＜0.001)and NIHSS score at admission(OR=4.354,95％CI 2.121～6.563,P＜0.001)were independent risk factors for depression in ACI patients,while Barthel index score was its independent protective factor(OR=0.626,95％CI 0.335～0.914,P=0.017).Conclusion:The expression of serum miR-16 in ACI patients is signifi-cantly higher than that of healthy people.Serum miR-16 expression,introversion,aphasia,NIHSS score at admis-sion and Barthel index score are all independent influencing factors for depression in ACI patients.

OBJECTIVE: This study was aimed at investigating the carrier rate of, and molecular variation in, α- and β-globin gene mutations in Hunan Province. METHODS: We recruited 25,946 individuals attending premarital screening from 42 districts and counties in all 14 cities of Hunan Province. Hematological screening was performed, and molecular parameters were assessed. RESULTS: The overall carrier rate of thalassemia was 7.1%, including 4.83% for α-thalassemia, 2.15% for β-thalassemia, and 0.12% for both α- and β-thalassemia. The highest carrier rate of thalassemia was in Yongzhou (14.57%). The most abundant genotype of α-thalassemia and β-thalassemia was -α ^3.7/αα (50.23%) and β ^IVS-II-654/β ^N (28.23%), respectively. Four α-globin mutations [CD108 (ACC>AAC), CAP +29 (G>C), Hb Agrinio and Hb Cervantes] and six β-globin mutations [CAP +8 (C>T), IVS-II-848 (C>T), -56 (G>C), beta nt-77 (G>C), codon 20/21 (-TGGA) and Hb Knossos] had not previously been identified in China. Furthermore, this study provides the first report of the carrier rates of abnormal hemoglobin variants and α-globin triplication in Hunan Province, which were 0.49% and 1.99%, respectively. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrates the high complexity and diversity of thalassemia gene mutations in the Hunan population. The results should facilitate genetic counselling and the prevention of severe thalassemia in this region.

Objective: To understand the current status of diagnosis and treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) /small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) among hematologists, oncologists, and lymphoma physicians from hospitals of different levels in China. Methods: This multicenter questionnaire survey was conducted from March 2021 to July 2021 and included 1,000 eligible physicians. A combination of face-to-face interviews and online questionnaire surveys was used. A standardized questionnaire regarding the composition of patients treated for CLL/SLL, disease diagnosis and prognosis evaluation, concomitant diseases, organ function evaluation, treatment selection, and Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor was used. Results: ①The interviewed physicians stated that the proportion of male patients treated for CLL/SLL is higher than that of females, and the age is mainly concentrated in 61-70 years old. ②Most of the interviewed physicians conducted tests, such as bone marrow biopsies and immunohistochemistry, for patient diagnosis, in addition to the blood test. ③Only 13.7% of the interviewed physicians fully grasped the initial treatment indications recommended by the existing guidelines. ④In terms of cognition of high-risk prognostic factors, physicians' knowledge of unmutated immunoglobulin heavy-chain variable and 11q- is far inferior to that of TP53 mutation and complex karyotype, which are two high-risk prognostic factors, and only 17.1% of the interviewed physicians fully mastered CLL International Prognostic Index scoring system. ⑤Among the first-line treatment strategy, BTK inhibitors are used for different types of patients, and physicians have formed a certain understanding that BTK inhibitors should be preferentially used in patients with high-risk factors and elderly patients, but the actual use of BTK inhibitors in different types of patients is not high (31.6%-46.0%). ⑥BTK inhibitors at a reduced dose in actual clinical treatment were used by 69.0% of the physicians, and 66.8% of the physicians had interrupted the BTK inhibitor for >12 days in actual clinical treatment. The use of BTK inhibitors is reduced or interrupted mainly because of adverse reactions, such as atrial fibrillation, severe bone marrow suppression, hemorrhage, and pulmonary infection, as well as patients' payment capacity and effective disease progression control. ⑦Some differences were found in the perceptions and behaviors of hematologists and oncologists regarding the prognostic assessment of CLL/SLL, the choice of treatment options, the clinical use of BTK inhibitors, etc. Conclusion: At present, a gap remains between the diagnosis and treatment of CLL/SLL among Chinese physicians compared with the recommendations in the guidelines regarding the diagnostic criteria, treatment indications, prognosis assessment, accompanying disease assessment, treatment strategy selection, and rational BTK inhibitor use, especially the proportion of dose reduction or BTK inhibitor discontinuation due to high adverse events.

Objective: To analyze the clinicopathological characteristics of 11 cases of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) with t (14;19) (q32;q13) . Methods: The case data of 11 patients with CLL with t (14;19) (q32;q13) in the chromosome karyotype analysis results of the Blood Diseases Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January 1, 2018, to July 30, 2022, were retrospectively analyzed. Results: In all 11 patients, t (14;19) (q32;q13) involved IGH::BCL3 gene rearrangement, and most of them were accompanied by +12 or complex karyotype. An immunophenotypic score of 4-5 was found in 7 patients and 3 in 4 cases. We demonstrated that CLLs with t (14;19) (q32;q13) had a mutational pattern with recurrent mutations in NOTCH1 (3/7), FBXW7 (3/7), and KMT2D (2/7). The very-high-risk, high-risk, intermediate-risk, and low-risk groups consisted of 1, 1, 6, and 3 cases, respectively. Two patients died, 8 survived, and 2 were lost in follow-up. Four patients had disease progression or relapse during treatment. The median time to the first therapy was 1 month. Conclusion: t (14;19) (q32;q13), involving IGH::BCL3 gene rearrangement, is a rare recurrent cytogenetic abnormality in CLL, which is associated with a poor prognosis.
