Objective: To conduct a scoping review on the types, construction methods and predictive performance of health literacy prediction models based on machine learning methods, so as to provide the reference for the improvement and application of such models. Methods: Publications on health literacy prediction models conducted using machine learning methods were retrieved from CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, PubMed and Web of Science from inception to May 1, 2024. The quality of literature was assessed using the Prediction Model Risk of Bias ASsessment Tool. Basic characteristics, modeling methods, data sources, missing value handling, predictors and predictive performance were reviewed. Results: A total of 524 publications were retrieved, and 22 publications between 2007 and 2024 were finally enrolled. Totally 48 health literacy prediction models were involved, and 25 had a high risk of bias (52.08%), with major issues focusing on missing value handling, predictor selection and model evaluation methods. Modeling methods included regression models, tree-based machine learning methods, support vector machines and neural network models. Predictors primarily encompassed factors at four aspects: individual, interpersonal, organizational and society/policy aspects, with age, educational level, economic status, health status and internet use appearing frequently. Internal validation was conducted in 14 publications, and external validation was conducted in 4 publications. Forty-two models reported the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve, which ranged from 0.52 to 0.983, indicating good discrimination. Conclusion Health literacy prediction models based on machine learning methods perform well, but have deficiencies in risk of bias, data processing and validation.

Autoimmune pancreatitis is a special type of chronic pancreatitis that can lead to abnormal pancreatic exocrine function in patients. Autoimmune pancreatitis comorbid with pancreatic exocrine insufficiency has a complex pathogenesis， and there is limited research on this topic， leading to the lack of understanding of such patients in clinical practice. This article introduces the epidemiology of autoimmune pancreatitis， briefly describes the pathogenesis of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency caused by autoimmune pancreatitis， and summarizes the various detection methods for pancreatic exocrine function， nutritional assessments， lifestyle management， and drug therapy， in order to strengthen the understanding of autoimmune pancreatitis comorbid with pancreatic exocrine insufficiency and improve the clinical diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency.

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.

Objective: To explore the laboratory testing methods and clinical management strategies for immune hemolytic anemia induced by Ceftizoxime sodium drug-dependent antibodies. Methods: Patient blood samples were subjected to blood typing, direct antiglobulin test, and unexpected antibody identification. Ceftizoxime sodium drug-dependent antibodies were detected using the immune complex method and drug-sensitized red cell method. The properties and titers of the drug antibodies were further assessed. Flow cytometry was used to assess the complement activation capacity of the drug antibodies in vitro. Results: Direct antiglobulin tests (IgG and C3d) were positive. Ceftizoxime sodium drug-dependent antibodies were identified using both the immune complex method and the sensitized red cell method, their titers significantly increased following the addition of the drug. Flow cytometry confirmed the complement activation capability of these antibodies and identified 30 minutes as the optimal time for activation in vitro. The patient's condition improved rapidly after drug withdrawal and supportive transfusion, resulting in a favorable outcome. Conclusion: Ceftizoxime sodium can cause drug-induced immune hemolytic anemia via complement activation mediated by drug-dependent antibodies. Serological testing is essential for diagnosing drug-induced hemolytic anemia. Clinicians should be vigilant for this adverse reaction. The offending drug must be promptly discontinued, and supportive care should be initiated upon the onset of symptoms.

Aim To investigate the protective effect of fisetin on testis and sperm of rats with oligoasthenosper-mia and to explore its mechanism.Methods The rat model of oligoasthenospermia was established.The rats were randomly divided into the blank group,model group,low-,medium-,and high-dose fisetin treat-ment groups,and LKB1 agonist group,with 10 rats in each group.ELISA was used to detect the levels of FSH,LH,T,E2 and PRL.Flow cytometry was used to detect sperm cell apoptosis.HE staining was used to detect testicular tissue damage.Transmission electron microscopy was used to detect the ultrastructure of sperm cells.qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of LKB1,AMPK,mTOR,and p70S6K.Results Compared with the blank group,the levels of FSH,LH,PRL,T and other hormones in the model group and LKB1 ago-nist group were significantly reduced,and sperm cell apoptosis and testicular injury were severe.The ex-pressions of LKB1 and p-AMPK/AMPK were signifi-cantly up-regulated,while the expressions of mTOR and p-p70S6K/p70S6K were significantly down-regula-ted(P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,af-ter different doses of fisetin treatment,the number of apoptotic sperm cells was significantly reduced,the levels of FSH,LH,PRL,T and other hormones markedly increased,the expression of LKB1 and p-AMPK/AMPK was significantly down-regulated,and the expression of mTOR and p-p70S6K/p70S6K was evidently up-regulated(P＜0.05).Conclusion Fi-setin is effective in the treatment of oligoasthenospermia rats,which may be related to LKB1-AMPK-mTOR-p70S6K signaling pathway.

Objective We aimed to compare the efficacy and prognosis of percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)in complex and high-risk patients with coronary heart disease(CHD)treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO)combined with intra-aortic balloon pump(IABP)assistance,and explore the application value of combined use of mechanical circulatory support(MCS)devices in complex PCI.Methods A total of patients who met the inclusion criteria and underwent selective PCI supported by MCS at the Department of Cardiology,the First Affiliated Hospital of the Air Force Medical University from January 2018 to December 2022 were continuously enrolled.According to the mechanical circulatory support method,the patients were divided into ECMO+IABP group and IABP group.Clinical characteristics,angiographic features,in-hospital outcomes,and complications were collected.The intra-hospital outcomes and major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)at one month and one year after the procedure were observed.The differences and independent risk factors between the two groups in the above indicators were analyzed.Results A total of 218 patients undergoing elective PCI were included,of which 66 patients were in the ECMO+IABP group and 152 patients were in the IABP group.The baseline characteristics of the two groups of patients were generally comparable,but the ECMO+IABP group had more complex lesion characteristics.The proportion of patients with atrial fibrillation(6.1％vs.0.7％,P=0.030),left main disease(43.9％vs.27.0％,P=0.018),triple vessel disease(90.9％vs.75.5％,P=0.009),and RCA chronic total occlusion disease(60.6％vs.35.5％,P＜0.001)was higher in the ECMO+IABP group compared to the IABP group.The proportion of patients with previous PCI history was higher in the IABP group(32.9％vs.16.7％,P=0.014).There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of in-hospital complications between the two groups(P=0.176),but the incidence of hypotension after PCI was higher in the ECMO+IABP group(19.7％vs.9.2％,P=0.031).The rates of 1-month MACE(4.5％vs.2.6％,P=0.435)and 1-year MACE(7.6％vs.7.9％,P=0.936)were comparable between the two groups.Multivariate analysis showed that in-hospital cardiac arrest(OR 7.17,95％CI 1.27-40.38,P=0.025)and after procedure hypotension(OR 3.60,95％CI 1.10-11.83,P=0.035)were independent risk factors for the occurrence of 1-year MACE.Conclusions Combination use of ECMO+IABP support can provide complex and high-risk coronary heart disease patients with an opportunity to achieve coronary artery revascularization through PCI,and achieve satisfactory long-term prognosis.

Objective To observe the value of SS-3DUNet model based on spatially separable convolutions for automatically segmenting anal fistula in enhanced MR T1WI.Methods Totally 2 405 pelvic axial enhanced MR T1WI of 29 patients with anal fistula were retrospectively analyzed,and 1 537 images from 19 cases were randomly selected as training set,424 images from 5 cases were as validation set,444 images from 5 cases were as test set.A SS-3DUNet model was constructed based on spatially separable convolutions to automatically segment anal fistula in enhanced MR T1WI,and inter-layer feature enhancement module was incorporated to improve the location of fistula features.The model was trained in training set and the best one was selected based on validation set.Taking the results of manual labeling by clinicians,the efficacy of SS-3DUNet model for automatically segmenting anal fistulas was observed based on test set.Results The time of SS-3DUNet automatically segmenting anal fistula in a single image in test set was 0.59-0.61 s,and the coincidence of the boundary of fistula segmented by the model and manual label was high.The average Dice similarity coefficient,sensitivity and accuracy of SS-3DUNet for automatically segmenting anal fistula in test set was 0.746,70.04%and 82.93%,respectively.Conclusion SS-3DUNet model based on spatially separable convolutions could effectively automatically segmenting anal fistula in enhanced T1WI.

Brucellosis,a worldwide epidemic bacterial zoonotic infectious disease caused by bacteria of the genus Brucella,jeopardizes livestock production and poses a major threat to public health safety.Among the various components of Brucella,the outer membrane proteins play crucial roles as the primary immune and protective antigens.These proteins are closely asso-ciated with Brucella's virulence,regulation of the immune response,and ability to survive and multiply within host cells.This article summarizes recent research progress in the primary outer membrane proteins of Brucella,and offers a synthesized view of the current knowledge landscape.Understanding the antigenic characteristics of Brucella outer membrane proteins may sub-stantially contribute to the establishment of new diagnostic methods and the design of new vaccines,thus potentially leading to more effective prevention strategies against brucellosis.The review provides a reference for future studies and may aid in brucel-losis control efforts.

Objective:To investigate the effects of elesclomol-Cu(ES-Cu)on the proliferation and cuproptosis of human acute myeloid leukemia(AML)cells.Methods:The effects of ES-Cu on the proliferation of AML cells and the AML cells pre-treated with ammonium tetrathiomolybdate(TTM)were examined by CCK-8 assay.The Calcein/PI kit was used to detected the changes in activity and cytotoxicity of AML cells induced by ES-Cu.Flow cytometry and Cytation3 fully automated cell imaging multifunctional detection system were used to analyze DCFH-DA fluorescence intensity,so as to determine the level of reactive oxygen species(ROS).The GSH and GSSG detection kits were used to measure the intracellular GSH content.Western blot was used to detected the expression of cuproptosis-related proteins ATP7B,FDX1,DLAT and DPYD.Results:ES-Cu inhibited the proliferation of Kasumi-1 and HL-60 cells in a concentration-dependent manner(rKasumi-1=-0.99,rHL-60=-0.98).As the concentration of ES-Cu increased,the level of intracellular ROS also increased(P＜0.01-0.001).TTM could significantly reverse the inhibitory effect of ES-Cu on cell proliferation and its promoting effect on ROS.With the increase of ES-Cu concentration,the content of GSH was decreased(r=-0.98),and Western blot showed that the protein expressions of ATP7B,FDX1,DLAT and DPYD were significantly reduced(P＜0.05).Conclusion:ES-Cu can induce cuproptosis in AML cells,which provides a new idea for the treatment of AML.
