BackgroundIndividuals with schizophrenia are prone to higher rates of hospital readmission， presenting significant clinical challenges and imposing considerable social burdens within the mental health domain. In recent years， various risk prediction models have been developed to forecast readmission in patients with schizophrenia and support clinical decision-making， but their predictive performance and clinical applicability require comprehensive evaluation. ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the risk prediction models for readmission in patients with schizophrenia， so as to provide insights for the development of high-performance and highly applicable readmission risk prediction models for patients with schizophrenia. MethodsOn July 5， 2025， a systematic literature search was conducted across multiple electronic databases， including PubMed， Embase， Cochrane Library， Web of Science， CINAHL， CNKI， China Biomedical Literature Database， Wanfang Database， and VIP Database， to identify risk prediction models for readmission in patients with schizophrenia. The search period was from the establishment of the databases to July 1， 2025. Two researchers independently performed literature screening， data extraction， risk of bias assessment， and applicability assessment. ResultsA total of 9 studies were included in this review， encompassing 18 risk prediction models for readmission in patients with schizophrenia. Among them， 4 models reported the area under the receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve （AUC）， ranging from 0.734 to 0.820， 16 models provided AUC values of 0.642–0.879 for internal validation， and 1 model demonstrated an AUC of 0.841 for external validation. Key predictors included disease duration and the concomitant therapy of antipsychotic medications. The risk of bias was assessed as "high" in all included studies. ConclusionThe development of risk prediction models for readmission in patients with schizophrenia remains in an exploratory stage. Although the model exhibits favorable predictive performance， it is associated with a high risk of bias and insufficient performance evaluation.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the absorption characteristics and tissue distribution of silybin （Sy） nanocrystals prepared by two methods in different intestinal segments of rats. METHODS Sy nanocrystals （i.e. Sy-NS-G and Sy-NS-F） with comparable particle sizes were prepared using high-pressure homogenization and anti-solvent precipitation methods， respectively. Rats were randomly divided into three groups： Sy raw drug group， Sy-NS-G group， and Sy-NS-F group. Each group was further divided into three subgroups with low， medium， and high （60， 120， 180 μg/mL） mass concentrations （calculated based on Sy）， with 3 rats in each subgroup. The absorption rate constant （Ka） and apparent absorption coefficient （Papp） of Sy raw drug， Sy-NS-G and Sy-NS-F in different intestinal segments were investigated by using the in vivo one-way intestinal perfusion experiment. Additionally， the rats were divided into three groups: Sy raw drug group， Sy-NS-G group， and Sy-NS-F group， with 20 rats in each group. Rats in each group were administered a single intragastric dose of 50 mg/kg （calculated based on Sy）. They were sacrificed at 0.3， 1， 4， 10， and 24 hours post-administration respectively， to investigate the tissue distribution of Sy raw drug， Sy- NS-G， and Sy-NS-F in the heart， liver， spleen， lungs， kidneys， brain and intestines. RESULTS In duodenum and jejunum， the Ka and Papp of the nanocrystals prepared by the two methods remained unchanged with the increase of Sy concentration， and there was no significant difference （P＞0.05）； the absorption of Sy-NS-F in the duodenum was greater than that of Sy-NS-G； the absorption sites of Sy-NS-G and Sy raw drug were mainly in the ileum， while those of Sy-NS-F were mainly in the duodenum and ileum. The concentrations of Sy-NS-G and Sy-NS-F in different tissues of rats were different； Sy-NS-G peaked in most tissues at 1 h， and the distribution concentration was as follows： intestine＞spleen＞heart＞lungs＞liver≈brain＞kidneys. Sy-NS-F reached its peak at 1 h， and the distribution concentration was in the order of intestine＞spleen＞kidney＞lung＞heart≈liver＞brain. CONCLUSIONS The absorption mode of Sy nanocrystals in the duodenum and ileum is mainly passive diffusion. In the duodenum， the absorption of Sy-NS-F is greater than that of Sy-NS-G； there are significant differences in the tissue distribution of Sy-NS-G and Sy-NS-F in rats.

This article reports a diagnostically and therapeutically challenging case of small intestinal marginal zone lymphoma. The patient presented with recurrent abdominal pain as the chief complaint, and imaging revealed multifocal small bowel wall thickening with high uptake, multisegmental luminal stenosis, and proximal dilation. Initial diagnostic workup, including gastroscopy, colonoscopy, and enteroscopy with biopsy, failed to establish a definitive diagnosis. Empirical anti-tuberculosis therapy was ineffective. A repeat enteroscopic biopsy performed over eight months after symptom onset eventually confirmed the diagnosis of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) extranodal marginal zone lymphoma. Despite three different chemotherapy regimens, the patient's intestinal obstruction symptoms persisted, with imaging still showing multifocal bowel wall thickening and hypermetabolic activity. A critical diagnostic dilemma arose regarding whether the PET/CT-positive lesions represented residual lymphoma or fibrotic scarring, whether further chemotherapy adjustments were warranted, and whether surgical resection was necessary. Multidisciplinary discussion concluded that imaging had limited discriminatory value in this scenario and that surgical intervention should be pursued if feasible. The patient successfully underwent partial small bowel resection, with postoperative pathology confirming no residual lymphoma but significant fibrotic changes. The patient has since resumed a normal diet, with body weight nearly restored to pre-illness levels. This case highlights that fibrotic transformation is a common sequela of treated marginal zone lymphoma and that PET/CT may misleadingly suggest residual disease, potentially leading to unnecessary chemotherapy. Timely surgical intervention is crucial in such scenarios.

Immune suppression in the tumor microenvironment (TME) is closely related to abnormal glycolysis. Tumor cells gain metabolic advantages and suppress immune responses through the "Warburg effect". Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been shown to regulate key glycolysis enzymes (such as HK2 and PKM2), metabolic signaling pathways (such as PI3K/AKT/mTOR, HIF-1α) and non-coding RNAs at multiple targets, thus synergistically inhibiting lactate accumulation, improving vascular abnormalities, and relieving metabolic inhibition of immune cells. Studies have shown that TCM monomers and formulas can promote immune cell infiltration and functions, improve metabolic microenvironment, and with the assistance by the nano-delivery system, enhance the precision of treatment. However, the dynamic mechanism of the interaction between TCM-regulated glycolysis and TME has not been fully elucidated, for which single-cell sequencing and other technologies provide important technical support to facilitate in-depth analysis and clinical translational research. Future studies should be focused on the synergistic strategy of "metabolic reprogramming-immune activation" to provide new insights into the mechanisms of tumor immunotherapy.

Sleep disorder, migraine, cognitive and behavioral disorders, anxiety and depression are common comorbidities of epilepsy. The comorbidity rate of epilepsy patients is eight times that of the general population, which affects the prognosis and quality of life of epilepsy patients. Perampanel (PER), as a third-generation antiseizure medication, has shown promising clinical research and application in the treatment of comorbidities in epilepsy. PER can improve the total sleep time, sleep latency and sleep efficiency of patients with epilepsy comorbid sleep disorder. PER also shows good efficacy in reducing seizure and migraine attacks of patients with epilepsy comorbid migraine. Meanwhile, the impact of PER on overall cognitive characteristics is neutral, with no systematic cognitive deterioration or improvement, but behavioral changes are one of the most common adverse events related to PER. For patients with comorbid anxiety and depression, PER does not exacerbate the anxiety and depression of epilepsy patients, and the severity of anxiety and depression in some patients will improve. This article will review the mechanism of action and clinical treatment research progress of PER on comorbidities of epilepsy.

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) laboratory tests are important for diagnosing central nervous system (CNS) diseases. Research on intrathecal immunoglobulin-related indexes has gradually attracted attention. The antibody index, which corrects for the effect of individual blood-brain barrier function on CSF antibody test results, is of great significance in the differential diagnosis, efficacy monitoring and prognostic assessment of CNS diseases. It is expected to become a new index for the diagnosis of CNS diseases. This article reviews the concept of antibody index and the research progress of differential diagnosis and treatment of various CNS diseases in order to provide references for the diagnosis, efficacy monitoring and disease progression assessment of CNS diseases.

Objective:To evaluate the value of Treponema pallidum ( Tp)-specific antibody index in the diagnosis, staging, and typing of neurosyphilis (NS). Methods:Fifty patients diagnosed with NS at the West China Hospital of Sichuan University from March 2020 to December 2022 were recruited as the experimental group, and 50 non-NS syphilis patients were enrolled during the same period as the control group. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and matched serum samples along with clinical data were collected. Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) EP06-Ed2 file was used to analyze the linear range of electrochemiluminescence immunoassay for Tp-specific antibody detection, and the Tp antibody index was calculate for all subjects. The correlation of Tp antibody index, IgG index, IgG synthesis rate, and albumin quotient with other clinical indicators was evaluated by the coefficient of correlation, and the diagnostic efficacy of these indicators in NS was analyzed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results:All the deviations from linearity of electrochemiluminescence immunoassay for detecting Tp antibodies in serum and CSF samples were within the allowable deviation from linearity. Compared with the non-NS group, the NS group showed a significant increase in the Tp antibody index ( P<0.05), with no significant differences observed among the groups of different subtypes, severity, or receiving treatment or not ( P>0.05). Tp antibody index, IgG index, and IgG synthesis rate were positively correlated with serum Tp antibody, CSF Tp antibody, trace protein, and nucleated cell count ( P<0.05). Taking 14.99 as the cut-off value for NS diagnosis, the diagnostic sensitivity of Tp antibody index was 74.0% (95%CI: 60.5%-84.1%), and the specificity was 94.0% (95%CI: 83.8%-98.4%), with the area under the ROC curve of 0.897, which was larger than that of albumin quotient, IgG index, and IgG synthesis rate. Conclusions:This study finds a significant increase in the Tp antibody index in NS patients with good diagnostic sensitivity and specificity, providing reference for the diagnosis of NS.

Objective:To investigate the role of dietary fiber in the intestinal rehabilitation for patients with ultra-short bowel syndrome.Methods:This study included 34 inpatients diagnosed with ultra-short bowel syndrome in the General Surgery Department of the Eastern Theater General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army from January 2012 to October 2023. Patients were grouped based on whether they received intestinal rehabilitation and whether dietary fiber was added to the treatment plan, and were divided into three groups: nutritional therapy group (11 cases), growth hormone + glutamine intestinal rehabilitation treatment group (10 cases) and growth hormone injection + glutamine + dietary fiber intestinal rehabilitation treatment group (13 cases). The therapeutic regimen and its changes, pre- and post-treatment parameters of hematology, nutrition, intestinal absorption, fecal consistency, and quality of life were recorded and compared, and the impact of different treatment regimens on clinical outcomes was analyzed.Results:Compared with nutrition treatment group and growth hormone + glutamine intestinal rehabilitation treatment group, growth hormone injection + glutamine + dietary fiber intestinal rehabilitation treatment group, the increase of enteral nutritional fluid, the decrease of parenteral nutritional energy, the increase of intestinal moisture absorption, the decrease of defecation times and the appreciation of hemoglobin were significantly increased, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). At the same time, the levels of insulin-like growth factor 1 and insulin-like growth factor binding protein were significantly increased after treatment ( P<0.01). Conclusions:Nutritional support combined with intestinal rehabilitation can significantly improve the nutritional status and intestinal absorption rate of ultra-short bowel syndrome patients. The use of dietary fiber in the intestinal rehabilitation regimen for ultra-short bowel syndrome patients yields more significant benefits, as evidenced by improved clinical outcomes.
