Objective To develop and implement a drug treatment pathway for the initial treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL)and to provide a foundation for refined medication use and cost control management under the Diagnosis Related Groups(DRG)payment system.Methods Clinical pharmacists collaborated to develop a drug treatment pathway for the initial treatment of DLBCL,utilizing evidence-based medicine and evidence-based pharmacy principles.The PDCA(Plan-Do-Check-Act)cycle method was employed for administrative intervention.The hematology department served as a pilot unit to assess the impact on economic indicators,including inpatient costs,drug expenses,and DRG payment balance,as well as treatment efficacy and the incidence of adverse reactions.Results Compared to the control group,the RG13 intervention group exhibited a significant reduction in average total hospitalization costs and drug expenses,along with a decreased DRG payment balance deficits.All differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion The development and implementation of a drug treatment pathway for the initial treatment of DLBCL can effectively reduce treatment costs,prevent DRG overspending,and alleviate the economic burden on patients,while ensuring the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.

Objective This study aimed to examine the risk factors and prognostic factors of brucellar spondylitis for early prevention and treatment of the disease,and improving the outcomes of patients.Methods A retrospective case-control study was conducted on the patients with brucellosis who were hospitalized in the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University from June 2020 to June 2022.Patients were assigned to brucellosis without spondylitis group or brucellar spondylitis group according to the presence of spondylitis.The patients in brucellar spondylitis group were followed for 1 year.Then they were stratified into a subgroup of good or poor prognosis according to clinical outcomes.The dataset for the demographic and clinical variables of patients were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 software.Results A total of 300 patients with brucellosis were enrolled,including 113 cases of brucellosis without spondylitis and 187 cases of brucellar spondylitis.Multivariate analysis showed that age,time from onset to diagnosis,low back pain,and erythrocyte sedimentation rate were independent risk factors for brucellar spondylitis(P＜0.05).Of the 154 cases of brucellar spondylitis with known outcomes,121 cases showed good prognosis and 33 cases had poor prognosis.COX regression analysis showed that the time from onset to diagnosis,diabetes mellitus,paravertebral abscess,and neurological impairment were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in patients with brucellar spondylitis(P＜0.05).Conclusions Old age,prolonged time from onset to diagnosis,low back pain,and increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate are independent risk factors for spondylitis in patients with brucellosis.Prolonged time from onset to diagnosis,diabetes mellitus,paravertebral abscess,and neurological impairment are independent risk factors for poor prognosis of brucellar spondylitis.

A 66-year-old female kidney transplant recipient presented to Shanghai Jiao Tong University Affiliated Renji Hospital on May 24th, 2024 due to recurring intermittent diarrhea for over 16 years. The parasites were found through examination of small intestinal fluid. Small intestinal fluid mNGS combined with blood mNGS confirmed Cyclospora cayetanensis infection. The cause of the diarrhea was clarified. Oral compound sulfamethoxazole was used as treatment, and the patient's diarrhea symptoms improved, and no Cyclospora cayetanensis was found in the small intestinal fluid smear three consecutive times. Parasitic infection factors should be excluded in patients with low immune function and chronic diarrhea. Non-invasive small intestinal fluid smear combined with mNGS detection provides a new method to clarify the cause of chronic diarrhea.

Objective To investigate the effects of miR-483-3p on hypoxia/reoxygenation(H/R)-induced apoptosis and pyroptosis of H9c2 cardiomyocytes and its possible mechanism.Methods Rat H9c2 cardiomyocytes were cultured in vitro,adeno-associated virus-infected H9c2 and the H/R model were constructed by triple-air incuba-tor,and the cells were randomly divided into blank control(Sham)group,model(H/R)group,AAV-miR-483-3p mimic+H/R(AAV-miR-483-3p)group,AAV-miR-483-3p negative control+H/R(AAV-NC)group.The growth status of cells in each group was observed using an inverted microscope;cell proliferation activity was detected by cell counting kit-8(CCK-8);LDH release by lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)kit;apoptosis rate by flow cytometry;apoptosis by notched end labeling(TUNEL).Western blot(WB)was used to detect the expression levels of IL-1β and GSDMD proteins in each group.Results Compared with the Sham group,the H/R group showed abnormal cell status and increased cell death,decreased cell activity,increased LDH release,increased apoptosis rate and apopto-sis level,and increased expression levels of IL-1β and GSDMD proteins(P<0.05);compared with the H/R group,the AAV-miR-483-3p group showed improved cell status and less cell death,increased cell proliferation activity,increased LDH release,and increased IL-1β and GSDMD protein expression levels(P<0.05).Compared with the H/R group,the AAV-miR-483-3p group showed improved cell status and less cell death,increased cell proliferation activity,decreased LDH release,decreased apoptosis rate and apoptosis level,and decreased expression of IL-1β and GSDMD proteins(P<0.05).Conclusion Over-expression of miR-483-3p can improve H/R-inducedH9c2 cardiomyocyte injury by enhancing cell activity and cell metabolism,and inhibiting apoptosis and cell charring.

Objective:To survey the perceived social support status and influencing factors of medical staffs working in community health service institutions in Shanghai Minhang District .Methods:The study was a cross-sectional study. From September 2022 to January 2023, a survey on the status of perceived social support was conducted among 181 medical staffs working in community health service institutions in Shanghai Minhang District. The self-designed general information questionnaire, perceived social support scale, general self-efficacy scale, quality of professional life scale, and trait coping style scale were used in the survey. The effects of demographic characteristics, general self-efficacy, empathy fatigue and trait coping style on perceived social support status of community medical workers were analyzed.Results:A total of 181 questionnairs were distributed and 178 valid ones returned with a valid recovery rate of 98.3%. In three dimensions of perceived social support, family support scored (17.11±8.87), friend support scored (17.08±8.41), other support scored (19.89±4.09), and the total score of understanding social support was (60.99±11.71). There were 2 cases of low support status (1.12%), 81 cases of intermediate support status (45.51%), and 95 cases of high support status (53.37%). Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in perceived social support among participants with different ages, marriage status, majors, professional titles, job satisfaction, positive or negative coping styles, general self-efficacy, and empathy fatigue ( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that people aged 40 and above had a higher degree of perceived social support than those under 40 ( OR=2.792, 95% CI: 1.051-7.418, P<0.05); compared with public health professionals, clinical medicine, nursing and other medical technique professionals had a higher degree of perceived social support ( OR=4.024, 95% CI: 1.479-10.953; OR=2.941, 95% CI: 1.031-8.393; OR=3.996, 95% CI: 0.543-29.409, all P<0.05); compared with those who were less satisfied with their self-assessment work, participants who were more satisfied or generally satisfied with their self-assessment work had lower perceived social support ( OR=0.200, 95% CI: 0.051-0.781; OR=0.320, 95% CI: 0.146-0.701, all P<0.05); compared with those with mild and moderate empathy fatigue, participants with high empathy fatigue had lower perceived social support ( OR=0.406, 95% CI: 0.182-0.909, P<0.05). Except supporting primary and secondary traumatic stress, the total score of perceived social support and its dimensions were positively correlated with empathy satisfaction; and negatively correlated with job burnout and secondary traumatic stress. Regression analysis shows that empathy satisfaction had a positive predictive effect on overall scores of perceived social support and its dimensions of friend support and other support capacity. Conclusions:The social support status of community healthcare workers in Shanghai Minhang district is generally acceptable. However, it is important to pay special attention to the social support status of those who are under 40 years old, have a background in public health, are satisfied with their work, and experience a high level of empathy fatigue. Measures should be implemented to specifically enhance empathy satisfaction among healthcare workers; timely guidance and intervention should be provided accordingly.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for portopulmonary hypertension(POPH)in liver cirrhosis,and to construct a noninvasive predictive model.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 310 cirrhotic patients with portal hypertension who were hospitalized in The Third Affiliated Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2013 to August 2022,and according to whether pulmonary artery systolic pressure was≥40 mmHg on ultrasound,the patients were divided into POPH group with 31 patients and non-POPH group with 279 patients.The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups,and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups;the chi-square test or the Fisher's exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups.A binary Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors for POPH,and a nomogram prediction model was constructed.The Bootstrap resampling method was used for internal validation,and C-index and calibration curve were used to assess the discriminatory ability and consistency of the model.The rms package was used to plot the nomogram.Results Compared with the non-POPH group,the POPH group had a significantly younger age,a significantly higher proportion of women or patients with hepatic encephalopathy or Child-Pugh class C disease,and significantly higher levels of direct bilirubin,Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score,albumin-bilirubin(ALBI)score,international normalized ratio,prothrombin time,FIB-4 index,LOK score,and Forns index,as well as significantly lower levels of serum albumin,alanine aminotransferase,gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase,hemoglobin,total cholesterol,and triglycerides(all P<0.05).The multivariate analysis showed that sex(odds ratio[OR]=0.172,95%confidence interval[CI]:0.064-0.462,P<0.001),age(OR=0.944,95%CI:0.901-0.989,P=0.016),ALBI score(OR=3.091,95%CI:1.100-8.687,P=0.032),and hepatic encephalopathy(OR=3.466,95%CI:1.331-9.031,P=0.011)were independent risk factors for POPH.A predictive model for POPH in liver cirrhosis was established based on the above independent risk factors,with a C-index of 0.796(95%CI:0.701-0.890),suggesting that the model had good discriminatory ability,and the calibration curve showed that the model had good calibration ability,suggesting that the model had certain predictive efficacy.Conclusion Young female individuals,elevated ALBI score,and comorbidity with hepatic encephalopathy are independent risk factors for POPH in patients with liver cirrhosis,and the predictive model established based on these factors has a certain clinical application value.
