Objective:To establish an early warning model of oral infection risk in patients with acute leukemia undergoing chemotherapy and to verify its predictive efficacy, so as to provide reference for formulating strategies to prevent oral infections.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to select 288 patients with acute leukemia undergoing chemotherapy from January 2021 to January 2023 in Hematology Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (Institute of Hematology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences) as the training set. According to whether they developed oral infection after chemotherapy, they were divided into the infected group and the non-infected group. The risk factors of oral infection in patients with acute leukemia undergoing chemotherapy were investigated, and a risk warning model was established. A total of 246 acute leukemia undergoing chemotherapy patients admitted to the same hospital from February 2023 to February 2024 were selected as the validation set to conduct external verification of the model.Results:The oral infection rate was 19.44% (56/288) in the training set. There were 21 males and 35 females in the infected group (56 cases), with 49 cases<60 years old and 7 cases ≥60 years old. There were 102 males and 130 females in the non infected group (232 cases), with 196 cases<60 years old and 36 cases ≥60 years old. Multivariate analysis showed that neutrophil count <1.5×10 9/L, nutritional risk screening 2002≥3 points, high-dose of methotrexate, antibiotic types ≥3, poor oral self-cleaning habits, oral pH ≤6.5 were the risk factors for oral infection in patients with acute leukemia undergoing chemotherapy ( OR values were 2.716-10.074, all P<0.05). Based on this, the risk early warning model was as follows: Logit ( P)=-5.849+2.310× neutrophil count <1.5×10 9/L+1.363× nutritional risk screening 2002≥3 points +1.150× high-dose methotrexate +1.132× antibiotic types ≥3 + 1.044× oral pH ≤6.5 + 0.999× poor oral self-cleaning habits. The area under receiver operator characteristics curves (ROC) curve of this model Logit ( P) was 0.892, the maximum approximate entry index was 0.653, the sensitivity was 0.804, and the specificity was 0.849. Hosmer-Lemeshow test results indicated that χ2=4.91, P=0.768. For external validation, the goodness of fit test results were χ2=6.47, P=0.595. The area under ROC curve was 0.884, the sensitivity was 0.832, and the specificity was 0.825. Conclusions:The established early warning model of oral infection risk in patients with acute leukemia undergoing chemotherapy has good predictive value, which is helpful for medical staff to conduct early risk assessment of oral infection in such patients, and formulate countermeasures to reduce the incidence and improve the treatment effect of the disease.

Objective:To construct an evaluation system for the risk factors of PICC catheter malposition in patients with hematological diseases, providing a reference for the prevention of central venous access malposition in these patients.Methods:From July 2022, a literature review was conducted to retrieve literature published in database and website such as PubMed, Web of Science domestically and internationally related to the risk assessment system of PICC catheter malposition in hematology patients. After full-text screening and extraction, the articles were included in the system′s item pool. Through further discussions among the research group′s experts, in conjunction with evidence-based findings, the system′s consultation items were formulated. Using the Delphi expert consultation method, a standard for PICC catheter malposition risk assessment system applicable to hematology patients was ultimately formulated.Results:In this study, 25 experts were invited for consultation: 24 females and 1 male, with an average age of (48.36 ± 6.82) years. After two rounds of expert consultations and revisions, the risk factors for PICC catheter malposition in hematology patients were identified to include 4 first-level indicators: patient factors, treatment factors, catheter-related factors, and operational factors, along with 11 second-level indicators and 25 third-level indicators. The positive coefficients of the experts in the two rounds of consultations were 84% and 100%, respectively; the Kendall coordination coefficients were 0.22 and 0.55 (both P<0.05); and the expert authority coefficient was 0.93. Conclusions:The risk assessment scale for PICC catheter malposition in patients with hematological diseases has high expert recognition and good consistency, and has clinical practice and guiding value.

Objective:To investigate the targets and mechanisms of cycloastragenol in ameliorating azithromycin-induced drug-induced liver injury(DILI)based on network pharmacology and in vitro experiment validation.Methods:Potential targets of cycloastragenol and DILI were predicted using databases.The common and key targets were screened and subjected to GO and KEGG enrichment analyses,as well as molecular docking validation.Primary hepatocytes from C57BL/6 mice were isolated.The optimal concentration and time for azithromycin-induced DILI in mouse primary hepatocytes were determined using CCK8 and ROS assays.The expression of genes and proteins such as NF-κB p65,p-NF-κB p65,AMPKα,and p-AMPKα was assessed using RT-qPCR and Western blot to evaluate the intervention effect of cycloastragenol(10-50 μmol/L).Results:Network pharmacology analysis identified 10 key genes related to cycloastragenol's improvement of DILI,including heat shock protein 90AA1(HSP90AA1),matrix metalloproteinase 2(MMP2),etc.GO enrichment analysis suggested that cycloastragenol primarily regulates biological processes such as membrane potential and chemical synaptic transmission,and affects cellular components such as neuronal cell bodies and distal axons,and related kinase activities.KEGG enrichment analysis showed that it mainly exerts intervention effects through neuro-signaling pathways and IL-17 signaling pathways.Molecular docking demonstrated strong binding of cycloastragenol to HSP90AA1,MMP2,NF-κB p65,AMPKα,nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2),heme oxygenase 1(HO-1),and NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1(NQO1),with a binding energy≤-5.0 kcal/mol for Nrf2.In vitro experiments showed that azithromycin(50 μmol/L,12 h)significantly reduced hepatocyte viability and increased ROS levels(P<0.01).Different concentrations of cycloastragenol significantly improved the activity of mouse primary hepatocytes,reduced the generation of intracellular ROS,downregulated the phosphorylation level of NF-κB p65,and upregulated the mRNA and protein levels of AMPKα,Nrf2,HO-1,NQO1(P<0.05).Conclusions:Cycloastragenol may alleviate azithromycin-induced hepatocyte oxidative stress and inflammation by inhibiting NF-κB phosphorylation and activating the AMPK/Nrf2/HO-1/NQO1 pathway,with its mechanism likely closely linked to targeting Nrf2.However,the complex mechanisms of DILI may involve additional unverified pathways.Therefore,further studies are necessary to validate the efficacy and safety of cycloastragenol in animal models.

Objective To observe the value of ultrasound combined with hematologic tests for diagnosing acute complicated appendicitis.Methods Data of 225 patients with acute appendicitis confirmed by surgery and postoperative pathology were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into acute complicated appendicitis group(complicated group,n=33)and acute uncomplicated appendicitis group(uncomplicated group,n=192)based on operational and post operation pathological findings.Clinical data,hematologic test results and ultrasound findings before operation were compared between groups.Multivariate logistic regression was used to construct a combination model for diagnosing acute complicated appendicitis.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve and area under the curve(AUC)were used to evaluate the diagnostic value of predictive factor alone and their combination for diagnosing acute complicated appendicitis,which were then compared with DeLong test.Results Compared with uncomplicated group,patients in complicated group were older,with higher proportion of fever and vomiting,higher level of C reactive protein(CRP)and of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR),larger external diameters of appendix,also higher proportion of appendiceal intracavitary fecalith and periappendiceal abscess(all P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that elevated serum CRP and NLR,increased external diameter of appendix and periappendiceal abscess were all predictive factors of acute complicated appendicitis(all P<0.05).The diagnostic efficiency of logistic regression model constructed based on the above factors(AUC=0.854)was higher than that of each single predictive factor alone(Z=2.548-4.527,all P<0.05).Conclusion Ultrasound combined with hematologic tests had high value for diagnosing acute complicated appendicitis.

Objective:To explore the risk fall death associated with compound hot extremes.Methods:This study collected data on fall deaths in Guangdong, Hunan, and Zhejiang Provinces from 2013 to 2018 and matched their exposure to meteorological data. Based on a time-stratified case-crossover design, a conditional logistic regression model embedded with a cross-basis function of the distributed lag nonlinear model was applied to estimate the risk of fall to death due to compound hot extremes.Results:Compared with regular days, compound hot extremes significantly increased the risk of death from falls ( OR=1.19, 95% CI: 1.09-1.30), and women ( OR=1.27, 95% CI: 1.11-1.45) and the elderly age 65 and above ( OR=1.24, 95% CI: 1.12-1.39) were more sensitive to compound hot extremes. The maximum duration of compound hot extremes was 7 days, and the maximum intensity was 6.2 ℃, and the duration and intensity were proportional to the risk of death from falls. The risk of death from falls increased by 12% ( OR=1.12, 95% CI: 1.06-1.18) each day, increasing in duration after linearization. The risk of death from falls increased by 16% ( OR=1.16, 95% CI: 1.10-1.22) for each 1 ℃ increase in linearized intensity. Conclusion:Compound hot extremes increase the risk of death cases from falls.
