Artificial intelligence （AI） health monitoring devices use AI technology and non-invasive sensors to collect individual data， compare it with big data， and provide real-time monitoring and data analysis of users’ physiological and psychological health， so as to provide personalized health recommendations and health risk warnings. AI health monitoring devices greatly enhance individuals’ self-health management abilities and improve their quality of life through round-the-clock uninterrupted monitoring and tracking. However， they also harbor a series of ethical risks， such as user privacy breaches， the digitization of physical sensations， and potential impacts on human subjectivity. Therefore， under the guidance of the principles of privacy and data protection， inclusiveness and fairness， transparency， and explainability， relevant departments should protect personal privacy with perfect laws and regulations， reduce algorithmic bias， ensure disclosure and transparency to promote user understanding， while adhering to the people-oriented principle approach and conducting responsible research and development of interpretable algorithm models for AI health monitoring devices.

Objective To evaluate the effect of bundle intervention on reducing catheter-associated urinary tract in-fection(CAUTI).Methods Hospitalized patients with urinary catheterization in a tertiary first-class hospital were subjected to targeted monitoring of a baseline survey from January to December 2022(pre-intervention).The main causes were found out,and bundle intervention measures were developed and implemented through plan-do-check-act(PDCA)tools from January to March 2023(intervention period).The data from April to December 2023(post-intervention)were collected,difference in catheter use rate and incidence of CAUTI before and after intervention were compared.Results The implementation rate of correctly hanging urine collection bags after intervention was 97.00％,the implementation rate of timely emptying urine collection bags was 91.72％,awareness rate of hand hy-giene among patient's family members was 79.13％,implementation rate of urinary catheter clamping during trans-portation was 74.79％,and daily evaluation implementation rate was 87.68％,which were higher than the pre-in-tervention rates of 85.63％,80.47％,62.75％,60.00％,and 79.93％,respectively.The incidence of CAUTI de-creased from 1.23‰ before intervention to 0.57‰ after intervention,the use rate of urinary catheter decreased from 5.53％before intervention to 5.37％after intervention.Differences of the above indicators were all statistically sig-nificant(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Through targeted monitoring on CAUTI and PDCA quality tools,the weak links in healthcare-associated infection control are identified,more targeted prevention and control measures are for-mulated,the implementation of bundle intervention measures can reduce the incidence of CAUTI.

Arsenic compounds are widely used for the therapeutic intervention of multiple diseases.Ancient pharmacologists discovered the medicinal utility of these highly toxic substances,and modern phar-macologists have further recognized the specific active ingredients in human diseases.In particular,Arsenic trioxide(ATO),as a main component,has therapeutic effects on various tumors(including leukemia,hepatocellular carcinoma,lung cancer,etc.).However,its toxicity limits its efficacy,and con-trolling the toxicity has been an important issue.Interestingly,recent evidence has pointed out the pivotal roles of arsenic compounds in phase separation and membraneless organelles formation,which may determine their toxicity and therapeutic efficacy.Here,we summarize the arsenic compounds-regulating phase separation and membraneless organelles formation.We further hypothesize their potential involvement in the therapy and toxicity of arsenic compounds,highlighting potential mecha-nisms underlying the clinical application of arsenic compounds.

Objective To observe the value of transesophageal echocardiography(TEE)for guiding left atrial appendage closure(LAAC)with LAmbre occluder.Methods Data of 40 non-valvular atrial fibrillation(NVAF)patients who underwent LA AC with LAmbre occluder were retrospectively analyzed.CT angiography(CTA)before treatment,TEE and digital subtraction angiography(DSA)findings during LAAC were comparatively observed,and the correlations of the anchor area diameter and left atrial appendage opening diameter measured with the above three as well as occluder size were analyzed,and TEE and DSA for evaluating peri-device leak(PDL)were compared.Results LAAC were successfully performed with LAmbre occlude in all 40 cases.The diameter of the fixed umbrella was positively correlated with anchor area diameter measured with CTA,TEE and DSA(r=0.79,0.82,0.91,all P＜0.01),of occlusion umbrella was positively correlated with left atrial appendage opening diameter measured with CTA,TEE and DSA(r=0.56,0.89,0.86,all P＜0.01).Immediately after the release of occluder in LAAC,PDL occurred in 16 cases and were detected with both TEE and DSA,while in the rest 24 cases no PDL was found with neither TEE nor DSA.Conclusion TEE had comparable value to DSA for guiding LAAC using LAmbre occluder.

Alcohol dependence (AD) is a chronic relapsing mental disorder characterized by uncontrolled use of alcohol, compulsive drinking, and a high relapse rate. Long-term heavy drinking damages the cardiovascular and neurological systems of AD patients, resulting in dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system and impaired emotional regulation, which is also associated with craving and relapse. Monitoring autonomic nervous system is beneficial for improving the prognosis of AD and promoting abstinence. Heart rate variability (HRV) effectively reflects autonomic nervous system function. The current study found that the HRV index of AD patients with imbalanced autonomic nervous system is associated with compulsive drinking, negative mood, and attentional bias. These indices can reflect and predict post-discharge relapse in AD and are expected to become effective and objective electrophysiological indicators for guiding clinical diagnosis and treatment. Research on HRV in AD patients is currently widespread. This article reviews relevant studies in recent years, aiming to deepen understanding of the current status in this field and provide a reference for future research and clinical work.

Background Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) has neurotoxicity, which can induce the loss of hippocampal neurons in humans and animals and lead to spatial learning and memory dysfunction, but its mechanism is still unclear. Objective To observe the ferroptosis of mouse hippocampal neuron HT22 cells induced by 7,8-dihydroxy-9,10-epoxybenzo[a]pyrene (BPDE), an active metabolite of BaP, and to explore its potential mechanism, so as to provide a basis for the study of BaP neurotoxicity mechanism. Method Mouse hippocampal neuron HT22 cells were selected and divided into four groups: solvent control group and low, medium, and high concentration BPDE exposure groups (0.25, 0.50, and 0.75 μmol·L⁻¹). Cell survival was detected by CCK8 method. Cell morphology and ultrastructure were observed under light and electron microscopes. The levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and Fe²⁺ were detected by fluorescence probe method. Iron, 4-hydroxynonenoic acid (4-HNE), malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) levels were detected with commercial kits. The expression levels of acyl-CoA synthase long chain family member 4 (ACSL4), cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2), solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11), and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) were detected by Western blotting. After interventions with ferroptosis inhibitors 20 μmol·L⁻¹ deferoxamine (DFO) and 10 μmol·L⁻¹ ethyl 3-amino-4-cyclohexylaminobenzoate (Fer-1), the cell survival rate of each BPDE exposure group and the changes of the ferroptosis characteristic indicators and protein expression levels were observed. Results With the increase of BPDE concentration, the survival rate of HT22 cells decreased gradually, and the survival rate of each BPDE group was significantly lower than that of the solvent control group (P<0.01). Under light microscope, the number of cells in the high concentration BPDE group was significantly reduced, and atrophic cells and reduced synapses were recorded. Under electron microscope, the HT22 cells in the high concentration BPDE group showed mitochondrial shrinkage, decreased crista, and increased mitochondrial membrane density. Compared with the solvent control group, the levels of intracellular lipid ROS, Fe²⁺, 4-HNE, and MDA significantly increased in the high concentration group (P<0.01), the GSH and GSH-PX levels were significantly decreased (P<0.01), the protein expression levels of ASCL4 and COX2 were significantly increased (P<0.01), and the protein expression levels of SCL7A11 and GPX4 were significantly decreased (P<0.01). The ferroptosis inhibitors DFO and Fer-1 significantly reversed the cell survival rate (P<0.01), the ferroptosis characteristic indicators (ROS, Fe²⁺, 4-HNE, MDA, GSH, and GSH-PX levels) (P<0.01), and the expression levels of ferroptosis-related proteins (ACSL4, COX2, SLC7A11, and GPX4) (P<0.01) in the high concentration BPDE group. Conclusion BPDE can induce ferroptosis in mouse hippocampal neuron HT22 cells, which may be related to the inhibition of SLC7A11/GSH/GPX4 axis and the induction of iron metabolism disorder.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features, survival and prognostic factors of elder patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).Methods:The clinical data of elder patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma enrolled in the Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from April 2006 to December 2012 were retrospectively collected. All the patients were divided into R-CHOP-like group and CHOP-like group according to the dosage regimen. And the differences in demographic characteristics, clinical features, survival time and prognostic factors were compared between these two groups.Results:A total of 158 patients were enrolled, of which 78 patients in the R-CHOP-like group and 80 patients in the CHOP-like group were eligible. There were no significant differences between two groups on age, gender, pathological staging, B symptoms, bulky mass, ECOG score, IPI score, pathological type, LDH level, β 2-MG level, lymphocyte/monocyte ratio(LMR), neutrophils/lymphocyte ratio(NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio(PLR), Ki-67 index and bone marrow invasion. In the R-CHOP like group, the median progression-free survival (PFS) time was 10 months, and the median overall survival (OS) time was 30 months. The 1-year and 2-year PFS rates were 46.2% and 19.2%, respectively. The 1-, 2-, and 5-year OS rates were 79.5%, 59.0%, and 19.2%, respectively. In the CHOP-like group, the median PFS was 7 months, and the median OS was 15 months. The 1-year and 2-year PFS rates were 27.5% and 12.5% respectively. The 1-year, 2-year, and 5-year OS rates were 65.0%, 32.5% and 13.8%, respectively. The median PFS time and OS time in the R-CHOP group were significantly better than those in the CHOP group ( P<0.05 for both). A stratified analysis showed that the PFS time and OS time were superior in the R-CHOP-like group compared to the CHOP-like group among patients older than 70 years ( P<0.05 for both). In patients with stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ, the PFS time and OS time in the R-CHOP-like group were also superior to CHOP-like group ( P<0.05 for both). Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that IPI score, LDH value, β 2-MG value, ECOG score, LMR, and PLR had an significant effect on prognosis ( P<0.05 for all). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that lymphocyte/monocyte ratio and platelet/lymphocyte ratio were independent prognostic factors for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma ( P<0.05 for both). Conclusions:The R-CHOP-like chemotherapy regimen is superior to the CHOP-like regimen in the first-line treatment of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. ECOG score, LMR and PLR may be independent prognostic factors for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. ECOG score, LMR and PLR are independent prognostic factors.
