ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio （NLR）， platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio （PLR）， systemic immune-inflammation index （SII） and the severity of intrauterine adhesions （IUA）. MethodsThe retrospective study included 380 patients who underwent transcervical resection of adhesions （TCRA） from December 2019 to March 2025. Based on the American Fertility Society （AFS） classification， patients were divided into mild （n=61）， moderate （n=225）， and severe （n=94） groups. NLR， PLR， and SII were calculated from preoperative blood tests. Statistical analyses included Kruskal-Wallis test and ordinal Logistic regression. ResultsNLR， PLR， and SII were significantly higher in the severe IUA group compared to the mild group （P<0.05）， with SII showing the strongest predictive ability （OR=1.004， P=0.001）. The number of intrauterine procedures was an independent risk factor （OR=1.27/level， P=0.016）. The predictive model ［Logit（P）=-0.676+0.241×operation times+0.004×SII］ effectively identified severe IUA cases. ConclusionInflammatory markers （particularly SII） are correlated with IUA severity and may serve as non-invasive tools for clinical assessment.

Objective To investigate the effect of different lymph node dissection methods on the prognosis of patients with stage ⅠA spread through air spaces (STAS)-positive lung adenocarcinoma measuring ≤2 cm. Methods The clinical data of 3 148 patients with lung adenocarcinoma who underwent surgery at the Department of Thoracic Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China from 2016 to 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with stage ⅠA STAS-positive lung adenocarcinoma measuring ≤2 cm were included and divided into two groups based on the extent of lymph node dissection: a systematic lymph node dissection (SLND) group and a limited lymph node dissection (LLND) group. Clinicopathological data between the two groups were compared, and a Cox proportional hazards regression model was used for multivariate survival analysis. Results A total of 209 patients (98 males and 111 females) were included. The mean age was (60.42±10.15) years (ranging from 28 to 83 years). All patients successfully completed the surgery. Univariate analysis revealed that the extent of lymph node dissection, past medical history, and micropapillary histological subtype were influencing factors for prognosis. Multivariate analysis indicated that the extent of lymph node dissection, age, and the micropapillary histological subtype were independent influencing factors for prognosis. Furthermore, among STAS-positive patients, those in the SLND group exhibited a better prognosis compared to those in the LLND group. Conclusion The extent of lymph node dissection is an independent prognostic factor for patients with stage ⅠA STAS-positive lung adenocarcinoma measuring ≤2 cm.Performing SLND may be more beneficial for their long-term prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and independent risk factors of severe disease in patients with anti-nuclear matrix protein (NXP) 2 antibody-positive juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted, including 219 anti-NXP2 antibody-positive JDM patients admitted to 23 children′s hospitals across China from July 2011 to July 2023. Patients were classified into severe and non-severe groups based on classification criteria for severe dermatomyositis. Demographic characteristics, clinical manifestations, and laboratory parameters were compared between the 2 groups using independent sample t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, or χ2 test. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors for severe disease. The receiver operating characteristic curve was employed to calculate optimal cut-off values. Results:Among the 219 patients, 108 were male and 111 were female, with an age at onset of 6.3 (3.5, 9.4) years. The severe group comprised 69 patients, and the non-severe group 150 patients. The severe group had significantly higher rates of fever, heliotrope rash, subcutaneous edema, periorbital edema, anti-Ro52 antibody positivity, as well as elevated levels of ferritin-to-albumin ratio (FAR), creatine kinase (CK), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis identified anti-Ro52 antibody positivity ( OR=13.26, 95% CI 1.37-128.29) and elevated FAR ( OR=1.90, 95% CI 1.09-2.31) as independent risk factors for severe anti-NXP2 antibody-positive JDM (both P<0.05). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed that a FAR cutoff value of 6.82 predicted severe disease with an area under the curve of 0.87 (95% CI 0.81-0.94, P<0.001), sensitivity of 0.85, and specificity of 0.70. All patients received glucocorticoid therapy, and the severe group received higher proportions of steroid pulse therapy, cyclophosphamide, mycophenolate mofetil, intravenous immunoglobulin, biologics, and adjuvant treatments compared to the non-severe group (all P<0.05). In terms of outcomes, 2 patients (2.9%) in the severe group died (due to neurological involvement and intestinal perforation, respectively), while the remaining patients achieved complete clinical response or remission. All patients in the non-severe group achieved remission. Conclusions:The primary clinical features of anti-NXP2 antibody-positive JDM included fever, heliotrope rash, subcutaneous edema, periorbital edema, anti-Ro52 antibody positivity, and elevated levels of CK, AST, LDH, and FAR. Furthermore, anti-Ro52 antibody positivity and a FAR>6.82 were identified as independent risk factors.

Objective:To explore the effect of exercise on glycemic control and physical indicators among community-dwelling persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods:A total of 42 T2DM patients undergoing regular follow-up at a community health center were divided into a control group and an exercise group. To minimize confounding factors, 1∶1 propensity score matching was performed, resulting in 21 patients in each group. Both groups received standardized diabetes management, including medication, dietary guidance and diabetes health education. The exercise group additionally performed exercises which integrated sports and medical care models. The experiment lasted 8 weeks. Before and after the intervention, glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels, body weight, body mass index (BMI), fat mass, visceral fat area (VFA), fat mass index (FMI) and appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI) were recorded and compared between the two groups. Moreover, the actual exercise compliance of the exercise group was observed, along with any adverse events such as hypoglycemia or exercise-related injuries, as well as changes in antidiabetic medication dosage.Results:After the intervention, significant improvement was observed in both groups in all of the measurements, but with the average HbA1c, BMI, fat mass, VFA and FMI values of the exercise group then significantly better than the control group′s averages. The average compliance rate in the exercise group was 60%. No cases of hypoglycemia or exercise-related injuries were reported during the intervention, and there were no changes in the use of anti-diabetes medications.Conclusions:Exercise effectively improves glycemic control and physical indicators among community-dwelling T2DM patients. However, exercise compliance needs improving.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective:To explore the value and related mechanism of preoperative serum sialic acid (SA) on evaluating microvascular invasion (MVI) in patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC).Methods:A total of 91 patients who underwent surgical resection and were pathologically diagnosed with ICC from December 2020 to September 2024 at the Oriental Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital affiliated to the Naval Medical University were included in this retrospective analysis. The patients were divided into non-MVI (41 cases) and MVI groups (50 cases). The general data and laboratory examination indexes were collected and analyzed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify independent risk factors for predicting MVI. The predictive value of serum indicators for MVI was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curves. The correlation between MVI and SA was analyzed by point-biserial correlation. ICC cells stably overexpressing β-galactoside α2, 6-sialyltransferase 1 (ST6GAL1) were generated through lentiviral transfection. ST6GAL1 protein expression and mRNA expression were detected by Western blot and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, respectively. Sambucus nigra (SNA) lectin fluorescence staining was used to detect α2, 6-sialylation levels on cells. Cell migration ability was assessed by wound healing and Transwell assays, and cell proliferation was evaluated by colony formation assays.Results:Compared with the non-MVI group, patients in the MVI group exhibited significantly higher levels of fibrinogen, aspartate aminotransferase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, alkaline phosphatase, SA and 5′-nucleotidase (5′-NT) (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that SA ( OR=1.01,95% CI 1.01-1.02, P=0.023) was the only independent predictor for MVI. The area under curve of SA in predicting MVI was 0.757 (95% CI 0.640-0.870), sensitivity 67.65%, specificity 77.78%. SA was positively correlated with MVI ( r=0.443, P<0.001). ICC cells overexpressing ST6GAL1 were featured with increased mean fluorescence intensity of SNA lectin, and increased level of α2, 6-sialylation on the cell surface (both P<0.05). The number of colonies formed by hypersialylated ICC cells was also increased ( P<0.05), and both the migration rate and the number of migrating cells were significantly higher ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Serum SA is an independent predictor for MVI in ICC patients. Hypersialylation in ICC cells is associated with higher malignancy.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors and prognosis of postoperative atrial fibrillation(POAF) and delayed-onset POAF(dPOAF).Methods:In a retrospective cohort study involving consecutive patients who underwent cardiac surgery across provincial cardiovascular consortium consisted of 57 hospitals in Jiangsu Province from January 2015 to December 2022, the incidence and implications of dPOAF were examined. dPOAF was defined as being diagnosed within 30 days of discharge.Results:Among 2 788 patients with postoperative new-onset POAF, 154(5.5%)cases had dPOAF, median onset time 21(15, 26)days following surgery. Compared to in-patient diagnosed POAF, dPOAF was associated with increased rates of hypertension(28.6% vs. 9.0%, P<0.001), diabetes(10.4% vs. 3.2%, P<0.001), heart failure(39.6% vs. 19.3%, P<0.001), peripheral vascular disease(13.6% vs. 2.2%, P<0.001), and higher CHA2DS2-VASc score(≥2)(59.8% vs. 43.2%, P<0.001). Female patients were less likely to develop dPOAF( OR=0.44, 95% CI: 0.30-0.63, P<0.001). During follow-up period, there was no significant difference in major adverse cardiovascular events(MACEs)( HR=1.33, 95% CI: 0.82-2.17), overall mortality( HR=0.58, 95% CI: 0.07-4.67), or thromboembolism events( HR=0.57, 95% CI: 0.26-1.25). Conclusion:This study underscores the risk factors and prognosis associated with dPOAF compared to in-hospital POAF. It highlights the imperative for vigilant monitoring and individualized management strategies tailored to patients at risk of dPOAF.

Objective To explore the effect of management model of clinical pharmacists participating in multidisciplinary collaborative diagnosis and treatment(MDT)for new anti-tumor drugs in the national medical insurance drug negotiation(hereinafter referred to as"national negotiation"),including efficacy,safe-ty,economy and rationality.Methods The medical records of 326 cases using novel anti-tumor drugs by na-tional negotiation and conforming to the including and excluding standards in this hospital from July 2018 to June 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into the MDT group(n=122)and non-MDT group(n=204).The patients diagnosed as non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)in the two groups were extracted and defined as the MDT-NSCLC subgroup(n=41)and non-MDT-NSCLC subgroup(n=77).The progression-free survival(PFS),overall survival(OS),disease control rate(DCR)and the indexes such as survival quality and medical quality control were compared between the groups.Results The median PFS in the two groups was 12.7 months and 8.0 months,the median OS was 75.2 months and 56.3 months,DCR was 96.72％and 81.86％respectively,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The COX multivariate regression analysis indicated that the HR value of clinical pharmacists participating in MDT was higher than the other influencing factors.The median PFS time in the MDT-NSCLC subgroup and non-MDT-NSCLC subgroup was 10.5 months and 6.7 months,DCR was 97.30％and 75.64％respectively,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05),the median OS time was 55.1 months and 40.3 months respectively,and the difference was statistically significant(P＞0.05).The COX multivariate regression anal-ysis indicated that the HR value with clinical pharmacists participating in MDT was higher than the other in-fluencing factors;The adverse reaction occurrence rate in the MDT group and non-MDT group was 45.9％and 58.3％respectively,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The KPS score after treatment in the MDT group was higher than that in the non-MDT group,and the difference was statistically significant;in the aspect of medical quality control,the average drug proportion in the MDT group and non-MDT group was 63.93％and 64.54％respectively,the rational drug rate of comments on prescription was 98.36％and 88.73％respectively,the patient satisfaction average value was 90.69 points and 87.36 points respectively and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion Clinical pharmacists participating in MDT related to novel anti-tumor drugs by national negotiation is beneficial to improve the therapeutic effects,living quality and patient satisfaction,also benefit to management and control of off-label drug use and medical quality control indexes.

Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of radiofrequency ablation(RFA)and para-thyroidectomy(PTx)for treating secondary hyperparathyroidism(SHPT)by meta analysis.Methods The studies on the clinical efficacy of RFA and PTx in the treatment of SHPT were retrieved from Pubmed,Em-base,Cochrane Library,CNKI,Wanfang,CBM,and VIP databases.The retrieval time was from the establish-ment of the database to December 2023.The literatures were screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,the data were extracted and the literature quality was evaluated.The meta analysis of the included da-ta was performed by using RevMan5.3.Results Finally,7 articles with 415 patients were finally included,in-cluding 185 cases in the RFA group and 230 cases in the PTx group.The results of meta analysis showed:there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence rate of postoperative hoarseness between the two groups(RR=0.96,95%CI:0.65-1.42,P=0.83),the incidence rate of postoperative hypocalcemia in the RFA group was significantly lower than that in the PTx group(RR=0.58,95%CI:0.42-0.81,P<0.05),and the hospital stay duration in the RFA group was shorter than that in the PTx group(MD=-3.32,95%CI:-5.28--1.36,P<0.05),and there was no statistically significant difference in the levels of PTH,blood calcium and blood phosphorus in postoperative 1,3,6 months between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion Com-pared with PTx,RFA for treating SHPT could reduce the incidence rate of postoperative complications,short-en the length of hospital stay,and achieve the same therapeutic effect.
