Objective:To explore the incidence of delirium in patients of advanced age hospitalized in internal medicine departments and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the medical records of 586 patients of advanced age hospitalized in internal medicine departments at the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine Third Affiliated Hospital from May 2023 to May 2024. Patients were divided into a delirium group and a non-delirium group based on whether delirium occurred. Univariate analysis and binary Logistic regression analysis were used to explore the factors influencing delirium in patients of advanced age hospitalized in internal medicine departments.Results:Among 586 patients of advanced age hospitalized in internal medicine departments, the incidence of delirium was 21.2% (124/586). Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that age, activities of daily living (Barthel Index), folate deficiency, sleep disorders, and indwelling catheters were factors influencing delirium in patients of advanced age hospitalized in internal medicine departments ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The incidence of delirium is high among patients of advanced age hospitalized in internal medicine departments. Healthcare professionals should pay particular attention to elderly patients with advanced age, limited activities of daily living, folate deficiency, sleep disorders, and indwelling catheters, and should implement targeted preventive strategies as early as possible.

Objective To investigate the value of multimodal model integrating digital mammography(MG)and MRI radiomics features for preoperative prediction of lymphovascular invasion(LVI)status in breast cancer.Methods The clinical and imaging data from 336 patients with pathologically confirmed invasive breast cancer were retrospectively analyzed and randomly divided into a training group(235 cases)and a test group(101 cases)according to the ratio of 7∶3.Feature dimensionality reduction was carried out by Pearson correlation analysis followed by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO)regression.Radiomics models were constructed based on MG craniocaudal(CC),dynamic contrast enhancement(DCE),T2 WI,and integrated MRI sequences;a multimodal model was further developed by incorporating clinical high-risk factors.The predictive efficiency of each model was evaluated by plotting receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results The ROC curve analysis showed that the multimodal model performed the best predictive efficiency,with area under the curve(AUC)of 0.989 and 0.861,accuracy of 0.949 and 0.782,sensitivity of 0.923 and 0.828,and specificity of 0.962 and 0.764 in the training group and test group respectively.Conclusion The multimodal model,integrating MG and MRI radiomics features,show optimal performance and can be served as a preoperative prediction of LVI status in breast cancer.

Objective To investigate the expression of centromere protein U(CENPU)in the intestinal tissues of patients with colon cancer,and to analyze the effect of CENPU expression level on the prognosis of patients with colon cancer combined with bioinformatics.Methods Firstly,the expression of CENPU in cancer tissues and normal tissues of colon cancer patients was analyzed by the expression of CENPU in tissues was further verified by real-time quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR),Western blot(WB)and immunohistochemistry(IHC).Combined with clinical data,univariate and multivariate Cox regression are used to analyze the correlation between CENPU expression and clinical case parameters of colon cancer patients.Then,the predictive effect of CENPU expression on the prognosis of colon cancer patients are explored by drawing receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve and Kaplan-Meier survival curve.Finally,the possible molecular mechanism of the effect of CENPU expression on the progression of colon cancer are analyzed by bioinformatics.Results By qRT-PCR,WB and IHC experiments,we find that compared with normal tissues,the expression of CENPU in cancer tissues of colon cancer patients is significantly increased.Cox regression analysis show that the expression of CENPU is significantly correlated with the age and TNM stage of patients,and is a risk factor affecting the prognosis of patients.Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis show that colon cancer patients with high CENPU expression has significantly lower survival rates.ROC curve show that the model based on CENPU expression has a high predictive power for the prognosis of colon cancer patients area under the curve(AUC=0.832).Bioinformatics analysis show that CENPI,CENPN,CENPD,CENPK,CENPP,CENPM,CENPQ,CENPH,NDC80 and ITGB3BP have significant interaction with CENPU gene.CENPU is involved in DNA repair,MYC/TARGETS/V1 and PI3K/AKT/MTOR signaling pathways.Conclusion High expression of CENPU in cancer tissues of patients with colon cancer is significantly associated with poor prognosis of patients,suggesting that CENPU is expected to be a potential target for early diagnosis and prognosis prediction of patients with colon cancer.

【Objective】 To evaluate the clinical effect of 3D printing technology in autogenous tooth transplantation for tooth loss. 【Methods】 From September 2017 to August 2021, 169 patients (176 teeth) were selected and analyzed regarding age, gender, recipient site, positioning of the donor tooth, transplantation time, and long-term follow-up. 【Results】 A total of 176 autogenous tooth transplants were completed, consisting of 133 cases of traditional autogenous tooth transplantation and 43 cases of autogenous tooth transplantation with 3D printing technology. The donor tooth separation time for autogenous tooth transplantation with 3D printing technology was significantly less than that for traditional autogenous tooth transplantation (P<0.000 1). A total of nine teeth were removed 3 months after the operation due to loosening(autogenous tooth transplantation failure), among which seven failed in traditional tooth transplantation and two failed in autologous tooth transplantation with 3D printing technology. The success rate of traditional tooth transplantation was 77% and the retention rate was 94.7%. The success rate of tooth transplantation with 3D printing technology was 88%, and the retention rate was 95.3%. 【Conclusion】 3D printed tooth donor model can greatly shorten the time of tooth donor, reduce the damage to the periodontal membrane cells of the transplanted teeth, and improve the success rate of tooth transplantation. It is worthy of broad promotion.

Objective:To study the learning curve in laparoscopic left lateral hepatic sectionectomy.Methods:The clinical data of 62 consecutive patients who underwent left lateral hepatic sectionectomy by a single operator from February 2015 to May 2022 in General Hospital of Northern Theater Command were retrospectively analyzed. There were 22 males and 40 females, with mean ±s.d. of (50.7±11.7) years. The learning curve was depicted and evaluated by using the cumulative summation test. The general information, operation and postoperative indicators of the growth level group and the master level group were compared.Results:The average operation time of the 62 consecutive subjects was (172.9±70.1) minutes. Intraoperative blood loss was 100 (50, 200) ml. Two patients were converted to open hepatectomy. Clavien-Dindo grade I postoperative complications occurred in 20 patients (32.3%), with grade Ⅱ in 1 patient (1.6%) and grade Ⅲb in another patient (1.6%). The learning curve reached its highest point on the 20th patient by using the cumulative summation test. The study subjects were then assigned into the growth level group (patient 1-20) and the master level group (patient 21-62). The master level group had a significantly wider spread of patient age [(52.9±11.0) years vs (46.1±11.9) years], decreased operation time [(146.8±55.6) min vs (227.9±66.7) min], shortened drainage tube removal time [4(3, 5) d vs 6(4, 7) d] and decreased postoperative hospital stay [5(5, 7) d vs 6.5(4, 9) d] (all P<0.05) when compared with the growth level group. Conclusion:Left lateral hepatic sectionectomy was safe and feasible, and a single operator went through a learning curve of 20 patients before he/she could master the operation more proficiently.

Objective To detect the radiation of ¹³¹I in treatment site of a grade A tertiary hospital. Methods A total of 25 patients with thyroid cancer were administrated ¹³¹I at a total dose of 82880 MBq. After administration, the ambient dose equivalent rate of the ward was detected with X- and γ-ray detectors. After patient discharge, surface contamination of the ward was detected with α/β surface contamination meter. During patient hospitalization and on the day of discharge, air samples were collected from ¹³¹I treatment site and office area. The air samples were measured using a HPGe γ-ray spectrometer and the concentration of ¹³¹I in air was calculated. Results The ambient dose equivalent rate in the ward ranged from 0.15 to 0.46 μSv/h. Before ward cleaning, surface contamination ranged from 0.53 to 40.1 Bq/cm² and the highest value was recorded on the toilet. Within 4 h after administration, the concentrations of ¹³¹I in air in treatment site and the corridor of the office area were 1.74 Bq/m³ and 0.66 Bq/m³, respectively. The ventilation air flow rate in the treatment site was 0.50 m/s. Ventilation decreased the concentration of ¹³¹I in air by 29.7%, 79.7%, and 53.3% compared with the previous day during hospitalization and on the day of discharge. Conclusion The radiation of external exposure of ¹³¹I in the treatment site is low and the shielding is effective. Before ward cleaning, the surface contamination is lower than the required limits except for the toilet. Ventilation is the primary way to reduce the concentration of ¹³¹I in air.
