Objective To investigate the influence of plasma infusion during orthotopic liver transplantation on the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in recipients. Methods Cinical data of 473 liver transplant recipients who underwent orthotopic liver transplantation at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2016 to December 2020 were retrospectively collected. The study included 354 recipients who received plasma infusion during the operation (plasma group) and 119 recipients who did not receive plasma infusion during the operation (control group). Preoperative conditions, donor conditions, intraoperative conditions, main outcome indicators and secondary outcome indicators of the two groups were analyzed and compared. Receiver operating characteristic curve was drawn to calculate the maximum cut-off value of intraoperative plasma infusion volume that affected the occurrence of AKI within 7 days after surgery. Logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the correlation between intraoperative plasma infusion volume and the incidence of AKI within 7 days after surgery. Results Before propensity score matching, the incidence of AKI within 7 days after surgery and the incidence of grade Ⅲ AKI in the plasma group were higher than those in the control group (both P<0.05). After propensity score matching, 62 recipients were included in each group. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of AKI within 7 days after surgery between the plasma group and the control group, but the incidence of grade Ⅲ AKI within 7 days after surgery in the plasma group was higher than that in the control group (P=0.041). Logistic regression analysis showed that intraoperative plasma infusion volume >900 mL was a potential risk factor for AKI within 7 days after surgery (odds ratio=1.936, 95% confidence interval 1.193-3.142, P=0.007). There were no statistically significant differences in the incidence of 365-day postoperative fatality, reperfusion syndrome, and postoperative 30-day complications between the two groups before and after propensity score matching. In addition, the postoperative albumin, fibrinogen levels, and international normalized ratio in the plasma group were better than those in the control group before and after matching (all P<0.05). Conclusions Large amount of intraoperative plasma infusion is associated with an increased risk of grade Ⅲ AKI after orthotopic liver transplantation. Intraoperative plasma infusion volume >900 mL may increase the risk of AKI within 7 days after surgery.

Objective To analyze the incidence of congenital syphilis in four regions of China from 2005 to 2020 and predict its change trend, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of congenital syphilis. Methods The incidence data of congenital syphilis in eastern, western, central and northeastern China from 2005 to 2020 were collected. The annual change percentage (APC) and average annual change percentage (AAPC) were calculated by Joinpoint software, and the change trend was analyzed. The ARIMA model was established by SPSS26.0 software to predict the incidence from 2021 to 2025. Results From 2005 to 2020, there were 107 504 cases of congenital syphilis, and the incidence reached the peak in 2011, which was 0.90/100 000, and decreased to 0.09/100 000 in 2020. The incidence of congenital syphilis in the eastern, central, western, and northeastern regions of China decreased to 0.07/100 000, 0.06/100 000, 0.12/100 000, and 0.15/100 000 in 2020, respectively. Joinpoint regression analysis found that from 2005 to 2020, the incidence of congenital syphilis showed a downward trend in the whole country (AAPC=-8.68%, t=-5.18, P＜0.05), the eastern region (AAPC=-12.01%, t=-6.81, P＜0.05), the central region (AAPC=-5.45%, t=-2.09, P＜0.05), and the western region (AAPC=-6.05%, t=-3.00, P＜0.05), while the incidence in the northeast region was relatively stable (AAPC=-1.66%, t=-1.18，P＞0.05). The ARIMA (2,2,0) model was constructed to predict that the annual incidence of congenital syphilis from 2021 to 2025 would be 0.06/100,000, 0.03/100,000, 0.02/100,000, 0.01/100,000, and 0.01/100,000, respectively. Conclusion From 2005 to 2020, the incidence of congenital syphilis in China shows an overall downward trend. The western and northeastern regions are the key prevention and control areas, and the work of ^"eliminating mother to child transmission of syphilis^" needs to be continuously promoted.

Objective To investigate the effect of acupuncture at Hegu(LI4)on neural activity in the visual cortex of healthy volunteers using functional near-infrared spectroscopy(fNIRS).Methods Each healthy volunteer underwent three sets of trials in a resting state:the LI4 group received acupuncture stimulation at the right Hegu(LI4)acupoint;the negative control was the sham acupoint group(SHAM group);and the positive control was the visual stimulation group(VISUAL group).fNIRS was used to simultaneously monitor changes in oxygenated hemoglobin(Oxy-Hb)levels in the vis-ual cortex during various stages of acupuncture or visual tasks,thereby reflecting the activation level of the visual cortex.The entire acupuncture procedure was performed with the subjects' eyes closed.fNIRS recorded the raw optical density values of hemodynamics in the region of interest(ROI)of the visual cortex during each task phase.The relative coefficientβ value for oxygenated hemoglobin was obtained via Matlab analysis,and the coefficient difference Δβ value between the task period and the baseline period was calculated,representing the degree of change in oxygenated hemoglobin content in-duced by the stimulus,which reflected the change in activation level of the visual cortex after acupuncture or visual stimu-lation.A larger Δβ value indicates a higher degree of visual cortex activation.Generalized estimating equations(GEE)were applied to analyze the differences in visual cortex activation levels among the LI4,SHAM,and VISUAL groups.Results In channels 15 and 17 of the striate area and channels 10 and 13 of the extrastriate area,the Δβ values of sub-jects in the LI4 group during the needle manipulation and withdrawal phases were significantly higher than those in the SHAM group(all P＜0.01).When comparing the Δβ values of the LI4 group during the needle manipulation and withdrawal phases with those of the VISUAL group,under the current sample size,the differences were not statistically significant(all P＞0.05).The Δβ values in both the striate and extrastriate areas of the LI4 group peaked during the needle manipulation phase.Conclusion Acupuncture at Hegu(LI4)can effectively activate the visual cortex in healthy volunteers,with the most significant increase in activation observed during the needle manipulation phase.

Objective:To analyze the factors associated with prolonged hospital stay in patients with mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) and construct an early identification model.Methods:A case-control study was conducted on 503 newly diagnosed pediatric patients with MPP who received treatment at Suzhou Municipal Hospital from April to December 2023. Clinical data were collected. Patients were divided into an observation group ( n = 240, hospital stay > 8 days) and a control group ( n = 263, hospital stay ≤ 8 days). Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the independent factors that affect hospital stay in the observation group. A Nomogram model was constructed. Results:The incidence of lobar pneumonia in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [62.5% (150/240) vs. 22.4% (59/263), χ2 = 82.94, P < 0.001]. The mean age of the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [5.0 (3.0, 7.0) years vs. 4.0 (2.0, 6.0) years, Z = 2.40, P = 0.016]. The hypersensitive C-reactive protein level in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [10.5 (4.8, 22.0) mg/L vs. 6.1 (1.8, 14.2) mg/L, Z = 5.16, P < 0.001]. The ferritin level in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [225.3 (180.9, 271.3) μg/L vs. 177.7 (138.0, 222.0) μg/L, Z = 6.31, P < 0.001]. The albumin level in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [43.7 (41.0, 46.2) g/L vs. 44.4 (42.3, 46.5) g/L, Z = 2.45, P = 0.014]. The total protein level in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [70.0 (66.8, 73.0) g/L vs. 71.5 (67.8, 74.6) g/L, Z = 2.45, P = 0.014]. The lactate dehydrogenase level in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [337.5 (301.5, 391.8) U/L vs. 291.0 (258.0, 332.3) U/L, Z = 3.28, P = 0.001]. The creatine kinase level in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [77.5 (55.3, 115.8) U/L vs. 89.0 (65.0, 126.0) U/L, Z = 2.75, P = 0.006]. The fibrinogen level in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [4.3 (3.4, 4.8) g/L vs. 3.8 (3.0, 4.6) g/L, Z = 4.17, P < 0.001]. After performing univariate binary logistic regression using the glm method to screen variables, multivariate binary logistic regression was conducted. The results showed that the presence of lobar pneumonia, higher levels of hypersensitive C-reactive protein, ferritin, and lactate dehydrogenase were independent risk factors for prolonged hospital stays in children with MPP [ OR (95% CI): 3.803 (2.029,7.129), 0.986 (0.974,0.998), 0.994 (0.990,0.998), 0.989 (0.985,0.993), P < 0.001, 0.027, 0.002, < 0.001]. Conclusions:Based on the fundamental clinical laboratory indicators, an early prediction model was constructed for predicting prolonged hospital stay in children with MPP. This model provides a scientific basis for the early assessment of MPP in children and is suitable for broader application.

Objective To compare the stress difference of the resin with different thicknesses in the screw access hole using three-dimensional finite element method.Methods A three-dimensional finite element model of the implant at the site of the mandibular first molar was established by computer aided design(CAD)software.A static load of 200 N was applied to the resin models with different thicknesses(1,2,3,4,5 mm)to analyze the effect of thickness on the von Mises stress and shear stress of the resin.Results In a certain range,the maximum von Mises stress and the maximum shear stress of the resin decreased with the increase of the thickness.At the thickness of 1mm,the maximum von Mises stress and shear stress of the resin were 23.85 MPa and 11.82 MPa,respectively.When the thickness was 2 mm,the maximum von Mises stress and shear stress of the resin were 18.75 MPa and 9.73 MPa respectively.At the thickness of 3 mm,the maximum von Mises stress and shear stress of the resin were 17.46 MPa and 9.04 MPa,respectively.When the thickness of the resin was more than 3 mm,the stress on it was in a stable level trend.When the thickness was 4 mm,the maximum von Mises stress and shear stress of the resin were 17.38 MPa and 9.04 MPa,respectively.When the thickness was 5 mm,the maxi-mum von Mises stress and maximum shear stress of the resin were 17.18 MPa and 8.85 MPa,respectively.Conclusion When the res-in reaches a certain thickness,the stress is small and stable.This study provides a new design strategy for reducing the complications after implant restoration caused by stress fatigue of the resin.

This study aims to analyze the screening results and epidemiological characteristics of prostate cancer (PCa) among elderly males in the rural areas of Songjiang, Shanghai City, through the implementation of a preliminary prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening based on a community-linkage model, and to explore an effective screening approach. A retrospective observational study design was employed to collect data from residents who underwent PSA screening at Songjiang Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, in collaboration with multiple community health service centers in Songjiang District, Shanghai City, between June 2022 and June 2024, through free clinics and annual health examinations. Prostate biopsy was recommended for individuals with total PSA (tPSA) levels >10 ng/ml and those with 4 ng/ml≤tPSA≤10 ng/ml and abnormal free-to-total PSA (f/tPSA) ratios. Clinical characteristics of detected PCa patients were analyzed. Follow-up was conducted through phone calls and home visits by family doctors, coupled with enhanced health education. The results indicated that a total of 17 198 residents participated in the screening, among which 2 234 (12.99%) had tPSA levels between 4 ng/ml and 10 ng/ml, and 257 (1.49%) had tPSA levels >10 ng/ml. Ultimately, 417 residents underwent prostate biopsy, with 171 being diagnosed with PCa, yielding a positive biopsy rate of 41.00% and a PCa detection rate of 0.99%. The predominant pathological subtype among PCa patients was adenocarcinoma (168 cases, 98.24%). Of the 146 PCa patients who received treatment, the majority were classified as intermediate or high-risk (124 cases, 84.93%). Furthermore, with the optimization of the screening model, there was a significant increase in the proportion of subsequent outpatient visits. In conclusion, the community-linkage-based PSA screening model demonstrated high effectiveness in screening for PCa among elderly males in the rural areas of Songjiang, Shanghai City. Epidemiological findings revealed that PCa patients in this region are primarily composed of intermediate and high-risk groups, highlighting the need for intensified early screening and health education.
