Objective To investigate the application value of bedside ultrasound measurement of gastric antrum cross-sectional area(CSA)combined with acute gastrointestinal injury ultrasound(AGIUS)score in guiding early individualized enteral nutrition therapy for sepsis patients.Methods From January 2023 to July 2024,61 sepsis patients meeting diagnostic criteria were enrolled and divided into an observation group(n=30)and a control group(n=31).The observation group underwent bedside ultrasound monitoring of gastric antrum CSA to calculate gastric residual volume(GRV)and AGIUS score for formulating individualized en-teral nutrition strategies.The control group used gastric tube withdrawal method for GRV measurement to guide enteral nutrition.Clinical baseline characteristics,enteral nutrition-related complications,nutritional/in-fection indicators,and disease severity parameters were compared between groups.Predictive efficacy was ana-lyzed using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve and area under the curve(AUC).Results Both groups showed gradual increases in enteral nutrition feeding rates and total volumes over time,with the obser-vation group demonstrating significantly higher values than the control group at each time point(P<0.05).The observation group started nasogastric feeding earlier than the control group(P<0.05).Target calorie a-chievement rates on day 3,5,and 7 were better in the observation group(P<0.05).The incidence of feeding intolerance progressively decreased in the observation group but increased in the control group over day 1,3,and 5,with significant intergroup differences at each time point(P<0.05).By day 7,the observation group exhibited significantly higher prealbumin(PA),albumin(ALB),and transferrin(TF)levels compared to day 1 and the control group(P<0.05).Both groups showed reductions in APACHE Ⅱ,SOFA,and AGI scores by day 7,with the observation group displaying significantly lower scores than the control group(P<0.05).The observation group had shorter ICU stays[(10.83±3.26)d vs.(14.55±3.14)d,P<0.05].The combination of gastric antrum CSA measurement and AGIUS scoring demonstrated excellent predictive value for feeding intolerance(AUC=0.920,95%CI:0.848-0.963),with 95.50%sensitivity and 82.50%specificity,achieving 87.60%predictive accuracy.Conclusion Bedside ultrasound measurement of gastric antrum cross-sectional area(CSA)combined with AGIUS scoring shows good effect as a safe and effective monitoring modality for guiding early individualized enteral nutrition therapy in sepsis patients.

International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2025;46(6):742-747
Objective To investigate the relationship between serum dephosphorylated uncarboxylated ma-trix Gla protein(dp-ucMGP),oncostatin receptor(OSMR),C1q tumor necrosis factor-related protein 15(CTRP15)and the degree of coronary artery disease and in-stent restenosis after percutaneous coronary inter-vention(PCI)in patients with acute coronary syndrome(ACS).Methods A total of 162 ACS patients who underwent PCI in this hospital from January 2021 to January 2023 were selected as the research objects.Ac-cording to the degree of coronary artery disease,the patients were divided into low lesion group(n=48),me-dium lesion group(n=80)and high lesion group(n=34).According to follow-up records,the patients were divided into stenosis group(n=40)and non-stenosis group(n=122).Serum dp-ucMGP,OSMR and CTRP15 levels were detected,and general clinical data were collected and analyzed in ACS patients.Multivariate Logis-tic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of in-stent restenosis after PCI.The receiver operat-ing characteristic(ROC)curve was drawn to analyze the predictive value of dp-ucMGP,OSMR and CTRP15 for in-stent restenosis after PCI.Results Compared with the low lesion group,the serum levels of dp-ucMGP in the medium lesion group and the high lesion group were increased(P<0.05),while the levels of OSMR and CTRP15 were decreased(P<0.05).Compared with the medium lesion group,the serum level of dp-uc-MGP in the high lesion group was increased(P<0.05),while the levels of OSMR and CTRP15 were de-creased(P<0.05).The lesion length,preoperative stenosis degree,stent length and serum troponin I,N-ter-minal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide,C-reactive protein(CRP),dp-ucMGP levels in stenosis group were higher than those in non-stenosis group(P<0.05),while OSMR and CTRP15 levels were lower than those in non-stenosis group(P<0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of dp-ucMGP,OSMR and CTRP15 alone and in combination for predicting in-stent restenosis after PCI was 0.839,0.849,0.838 and 0.922,respectively.The AUC of combined prediction was higher than that of dp-ucMGP(Z=2.304,P=0.021),OSMR(Z=2.073,P=0.038),and CTRP15(Z=2.414,P=0.016)alone.Stent length and CRP,dp-ucMGP levels were risk fac-tors for in-stent restenosis,while CTRP15 and OSMR levels were protective factors(P<0.05).Conclusion In ACS patients with in-stent restenosis after PCI,serum dp-ucMGP level is increased,and OS-MR and CTRP15 levels are decreased,which are related to the degree of coronary artery disease and in-stent restenosis after PCI,and have certain auxiliary predictive value for in-stent restenosis after PCI.

Objective To analyze the effect of circLRP6 on high glucose-induced renal tubular epithelial cell injury via miR-31-5p/high mobility group protein A1(HMGA1)axis regulation.Methods Human renal tubular epithelial HK-2 cells were cultured in vitro and divided into eight groups:control,high glucose,high glucose+si-NC,high glucose+si-circLRP6,high glucose+si-circLRP6+miR-NC,high glucose+si-circLRP6+miR-31-5p inhibitor,high glucose+si-circLRP6+miR-31-5p inhibitor+si-NC,and high glucose+si-circ-LRP6+ miR-31-5p inhibitor+si-HMGA1.The circLRP6,miR-31-5p,and HMGA1 mRNA levels were determined using real-time quantitative PCR.Cell supernatant IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)levels,lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)activity,and malondialdehyde(MDA)content were also determined.Furthermore,flow cytometry was used to observe cell apoptosis.HMGA1,Bax,and Bcl-2 protein expression was detected by Western blotting.Finally,dual luciferase assay was used to report the targeting relationship of miR-31-5p with circLRP6 and HMGA1.Results Compared with the high glucose group,the HK-2 cell proliferation inhibition rate;cell superserum IL-6,TNF-α,LDH,and MDA levels;apoptosis rate;and Bax protein expression in the high glucose+si-circLRP6 group decreased significantly,whereas Bcl-2 protein expression increased significantly(all P<0.05).Consequently,miR-31-5p downregulation possibly weakened the protective effect of si-circLRP6 on high glucose-induced renal tubular epithelial cell injury.HMGA1 expression inhibition reversed the effect of the si-circLRP6+miR-31-5p inhibitor on high glucose-induced renal tubular epithelial cell injury.Finally,miR-31-5p exhibited a targeting relationship with circLRP6 and HMGA1.Conclusion Si-circLRP6 protects high glucose-induced renal tubular epithelial cell injury via miR-31-5p upregulation and HMGA1 expression inhibition.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and application value of indocyanine green(ICG)lymph node tracer in clinical early stage cervical cancer staging surgery.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 31 patients with early clinical stage(ⅠA1-ⅡA1)cervical cancer who underwent laparoscopic radical hysterectomy,pelvic lymph node resection and para-aortic lymph node sampling were selected as the study subjects in Sichuan Provincial Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from April 1,2022 to July 31,2023.They were divided into the ICG fluorescence tracer group(ICG group,17 cases)and the conventional surgery group(control group,14 ca-ses)based on whether ICG was injected or not.The resected lymph nodes were classified and submitted for ex-amination according to location and whether they presented visualization.The method of contingency coefficient was used to analyze the correlations between lymph node visualization patterns and lymph node metastasis and clinicopathological characteristics,and the perioperative data of the two groups were compared.Results:①The postoperative stage of 8 patients(25.8%)(4 in each group)were improved compared with the preoperative clini-cal stage.The number of resected lymph nodes in the ICG group was less than that in the control group(18±9 nodes/person vs.26±11 nodes/person,P<0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in operation time,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative FIGO(2018)staging,lymph node metastasis rate,and positive rate of resected lymph nodes between the two groups(P>0.05).②The visualization rate in the ICG group was 64.71%(11/17).There was no statistically significant difference in the positive rate between the visualized and non-visualized lymph nodes(P>0.05).There was a significant correlation between lymph node visualization and lymph node metastasis(C=0.707,P<0.05),and a significant correlation was found between lymph node visual-ization and lymph node metastasis in the same patient(C=0.557,P<0.05).Conclusions:The rate of lymph node metastasis in clinical early stage cervical cancer is low.ICG fluorescence visualization can trace lymph nodes and predict the risk of metastasis.By only resecting the visualized lymph nodes under the guidance of ICG tracer,the lymph node metastasis status of early-stage cervical cancer can be fully evaluated,which is worthy of further research.

Severe asthma stands as a formidable contributor to both mortality and morbidity of pa-tients suffering asthma,casting substantial social and economic shadows on communities.As our un-derstanding of asthma's pathophysiology deepens,a beacon of hope emerges in the form of biological targeted therapies,offering a promising avenue for the management of this challenging condition.These therapies,by precisely inhibiting or modulat-ing pivotal molecules in the inflammatory cascade,offer potential benefits in symptom alleviation,lung function enhancement,and risk reduction of acute exacerbations.They signify a paradigm shift in severe asthma treatment.Within the confines of this article,we embark on a systematic exploration of the immunological underpinnings that define se-vere asthma.By delving into the intricacies of the immune system's role in exacerbating this condi-tion,we aim to offer a comprehensive assessment of both the current landscape and the future pros-pects of biological therapies.Our objective is to provide a scientifically robust and valuable refer-ence that can guide the individualized treatment of patients grappling with severe asthma.
