Acute Gelsemium poisoning is a systemic disease primarily affecting the central nervous system and respiratory symptoms caused by the ingestion of a substantial amount of Gelsemium within a short period. It manifests as sudden onset and rapid progression, primarily caused by accidental ingestion due to misidentification, and posing significant health risks. The compilation of the Technical Plan for Emergency Health Response to Acute Gelsemium Poisoning describes in detail the specialized practice and technical requirements in the process of handling acute Gelsemium poisoning, including accident investigation and management, laboratory testing and identification, in-hospital treatment, and health monitoring. The guidelines clarify key procedures and requirements such as personal protection, investigation elements, etiology determination, medical rescue, and health education. The key to acute Gelsemium poisoning investigation lies in promptly identifying the toxin through exposure history, clinical manifestations, and sample testing. Because there is no specific antidote for Gelsemium poisoning, immediate removal from exposure, rapid elimination of the toxin, and respiratory monitoring are critical on-site rescue measures. Visual identification of food or herbal materials, followed by laboratory testing to determine Gelsemium alkaloids in samples is a rapid effective screening method. These guidelines offer a scientific, objective, and practical framework to support effective emergency responses to acute Gelsemium poisoning incidences.

ObjectiveTo investigate pulmonary function levels and associated influencing factors among rural elderly in Guangzhou, to identify high-risk populations for poor pulmonary function, and to reveal the relationship between the influencing factors of pulmonary function. MethodsWe recruited 1 500 residents aged 60 to 94 years from rural area of Conghua District, Guangzhou City using convenience sampling in 2023. Data on demographics, body measurements, medical history and lifestyle were collected via face-to-face questionnaires and physical examination. Meanwhile, expiratory function parameters including forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), FEV1/FVC, and the prevalence of airflow obstruction (AFO) were assessed using a portable spirometer. Age and sex distribution of pulmonary function in older adults at 5-year intervals was reported, and risk factors of AFO using multifactorial logistic regression models were analyzed. Furthermore, path analysis was further employed to explore the role of lifestyle in the association between other influencing factors and lung function. ResultsAmong the 1 500 participants, the median age was 71 years (67-75), and 44.2% were male. Subjects identified as AFOs were generally older, more likely male, less educated, and had lower rates of moderate to vigorous physical activity (<1 time/week) and lower lean body mass. Mean FEV1/FVC ratio was (82.0±16.4) %. FEV1/FVC was (79.80±17.58) % in men and (83.66±15.22) % in women. Older age, lower education, male sex and leanness were negatively associated with all pulmonary function outcomes (all P values<0.05). Path analysis identified that age, gender, marital status, occupation and income may influence pulmonary function indirectly through lifestyle. ConclusionRural elderly in Guangzhou exhibited lower pulmonary function levels, and male sex, non-married status, advanced age, lower education, smoking habits, insufficient engagement in moderate to vigorous physical activity, and lean body type were all associated with worse pulmonary function.

Objective To explore the short-term efficacy of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in the treatment of early carcinoma in the remnant stomach. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 45 patients with early residual gastric cancer underwent ESD at the Endoscopy Center of Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from December 2014 to April 2024, with a total of 45 lesions. The patients were divided into an anastomotic group (n=15) and a non-anastomotic group (n=30) based on the location of tumor occurrence, and their clinical data, endoscopic diagnosis and treatment, and histopathological conditions were compared between the two groups. Results All 45 patients had lesions with redness and erosion. There were 9 cases of poor lifting of submucosal injection in the anastomotic group and 2 cases in the non-anastomotic group, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). ESD surgery was performed on 13 lesions in the anastomotic group and 28 lesions in the non-anastomotic group, with surgery times of 80.00 (50.00, 100.00) min and 55.00 (43.75, 80.00) min, respectively. The difference in surgery time between the two groups was statistically significant (P=0.03). Among the 45 patients, ESD surgery achieved curative resection in 35 cases, including 11 cases in the anastomotic group and 24 cases in the non-anastomotic group, with no statistically significant difference. Conclusions Careful preoperative evaluation of early carcinoma in the remnant stomach is essential to prevent oversight. Lesions at anastomotic sites and suture lines present higher technical challenges for complete resection. ESD is safe and effective, with auxiliary traction technique available when necessary.

Vascular cognitive impairment (VCI), caused by cerebrovascular dysfunction, severely impacts the quality of life in the elderly population, yet effective therapeutic approaches remain limited. Mitophagy, a selective mitochondrial quality-control mechanism, has emerged as a critical focus in neurological disease research. Accumulating evidence indicates that mitophagy modulates oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and neuronal apoptosis. Key signaling pathways associated with mitophagy—including PINK1/Parkin, BNIP3/Nix, FUNDC1, PI3K/Akt/mTOR, and AMPK—have been identified as potential therapeutic targets for VCI. This review summarizes the mechanistic roles of mitophagy in VCI pathogenesis and explores emerging therapeutic strategies targeting these pathways, aiming to provide novel insights for clinical intervention and advance the development of effective treatments for VCI.

ObjectiveTo investigate the value of prealbumin-to-total bilirubin (PA/TBil) ratio on admission in predicting 90-day mortality or liver transplantation in patients with HBV-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF), as well as the effect of its combination with Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score on the predictive performance for short-term prognosis. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 216 HBV-ACLF patients who were admitted to Department of Infectious Diseases in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from April 2020 to May 2025, and the patients were followed up for 3 months. According to the outcome, the patients were divided into survival group with 104 patients and death/transplantation group with 112 patients. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to check whether the continuous data was in accordance with the normal distribution; the two-independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups, while the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data with skewed distribution between two groups. The chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. Univariate and multivariate binary Logistic regression analyses were used to investigate the influencing factors for prognosis, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the performance of each indicator in predicting the prognosis of ACLF. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was calculated, and the Delong test was used for comparison of AUC. ResultsA total of 216 patients were enrolled in this study, with a 90-day survival rate of 48.15% (104/216). Compared with the death/transplantation group, the survival group had significantly higher platelet count, lymphocyte count, albumin, and PA/TBil ratio (all P<0.05) and significantly lower age, white blood cell count, neutrophil count, prothrombin time, international normalized ratio, aspartate aminotransferase, total bilirubin, creatinine, and MELD score (all P<0.05). The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age (odds ratio [OR]=1.05, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.02 — 1.09, P<0.001), PA/TBil ratio (OR=0.16, 95%CI: 0.05 — 0.46, P<0.001), and MELD score (OR=1.09, 95%CI: 1.01 — 1.17, P=0.024) were independent influencing factors for 90-day prognosis in HBV-ACLF patients. PA/TBil ratio and MELD score used alone or in combination had an AUC of 0.760, 0.779, and 0.811, respectively, in predicting the prognosis of HBV-ACLF patients, and PA/TBil ratio combined with MELD score had a better AUC than PA/TBil ratio or MELD score used alone (Z=-2.058 and 2.017, both P<0.05). ConclusionBoth serum PA/TBil ratio and MELD score can effectively predict the prognosis of patients with HBV-ACLF, and a combination of the two indicators had a better predictive performance than MELD score alone, which provides an important reference for clinical risk stratification management and timely intervention.
