Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ruxolitinib combined with low-dose hormone for patients with acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Methods: Thirty patients with aGVHD after allo-HSCT admitted to the Department of Hematology of the General Hospital of Western Theater Command from November 2021 to November 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were treated with low-dose hormone (methylprednisolone 0.3-1 mg kg -d ) combined with ruxolitinib 5-10 mg d . The efficacy and adverse reactions were observed during the follow-up period to analyze the survival outcomes of the patients. Results: A total of 30 patients with aGVHD after allo-HSCT were included in this study, consisting of 15 (50%) males and 15 (50%) females with a median age of 34 year-old (ranging from 14 to 62). Classification by disease type: there were 18 cases of acute myeloid leukemia, 4 cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia, 4 cases of aplastic anemia, and 4 cases of myelodysplastic syndrome. Classification by aGVHD severity: there were 27 cases (90%) of Ⅱ-Ⅳ degree aGVHD and 11 cases (36.7%) of Ⅲ-Ⅳ degree aGVHD. Ruxolitinib in combination with low-dose glucocorticoid treatment yield responses in 28 (93.3%) patients, of which 27 (90%) achieved complete remission (CR), while 1 (3.3%) showed partial remission (PR). One patient (3.3%) had no response (NR), and 1 patient (3.3%) exhibited progressed disease (PD). Overall survival (OS) at 1 year of transplantation was 73.9% (95%CI 49.5% to 87.7%), progression-free survival (PFS) was 93.3% (95%CI 75.9% to 98.3%), non-relapse mortality (NRM) was 20.6% (95%CI 7.9% to 47.4%), and median survival time was 27.6 months. Conclusion: Ruxolitinib combined with low-dose hormones is safe and effective in the treatment of aGVHD after allo-HSCT.

In the context of burgeoning economic trade, there has been a remarkable increase in the number of ships travelling between domestic and international ports. Inbound and outbound cargo ships, cruise liners, ferries, and other types of vessels have emerged as critical vehicles for the dispersal of vector organisms and the spread of infectious disease agents. Public health concerns associated with these vessels represent a significant threat to human welfare. In this paper, we comprehensively review the hazards posed by vector organisms on ships, the latest advances in prevention and control strategies, and proposes appropriate countermeasures. The aim is to provide effective guidance for the prevention and control of public health security issues caused by ship-borne vector organisms.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa(PA)is an opportunistic pathogen commonly involved in environmental-and difffcult-to-treat nosocomial infection.Currently,multidrug-resistant(MDR)and extensively drug-resistant(XDR)strains of PA are e-merging due to the inappropriate use of antibiotics,which has become a major threat related to healthcare.The antibiotics re-sistance mechanism of PA is very complicated.PA can acquire resistance through mutations in genes encoding for membrane-associated proteins,antibiotics inactivation enzymes and their regulatory proteins,antibiotics target proteins,and two-compo-nent systems.Additionally,resistance genes acquired by horizontal gene transfer(HGT)lead to resistance of PA,which are frequently localized within mobile genetic elements(MGEs),including genes encoding enzymes that inactivate and modify anti-biotics,proteins genes that protect and modify antibiotic targets.In this review,acquired resistance mechanisms of PA involved in gene mutations and HGT was summarized.This review would provide references for the prevention and treatment of PA in-fection,as well as the research and development of new antibiotics.

Pressure ulcer is a common complication of long-term bed rest in intensive care unit(ICU)patients,which can increase the risk of infection and prolong ICU hospitalization.They are an important indicator of patient safety and nursing quality in medical institutions.Early prevention of pressure ulcer is an important means of controlling their development.At present,the prevention of pressure ulcer mainly involves timed flipping and the use of pressure reducing devices.However,during the flipping process,it often requires two or more nursing staff to complete,which increases the workload and also exacerbates the occurrence of occupational lower back pain among nursing staff.In addition,existing pressure reducing devices still have certain limitations in use,and their functions are single,often requiring the combination of multiple tools to increase material and financial resources.Based on this,the research team from the department of critical care medicine of Hospital of Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine,has designed a nursing device for preventing pressure ulcer in critically ill patients,and has obtained a National Utility Model Patent of China(Patent Number:ZL 202320609787.6).It has several inflation components and connecting structures.The inflation components are equipped with a connected air inlet,a connected air outlet,and a discharge port on the side;the inflatable components are fitted together and can be detachably connected through a connecting structure.The connected air inlet of one inflatable component corresponds to the connected air outlet of adjacent inflatable components.This device is connected by multiple inflation components,which lower or raise the height of the airbag through inflation and deflation,adjust the pressure on various parts of the patient's body,and solve the problem of labor-intensive and heavy workload in nursing work;In addition,multiple inflatable components can be detachably connected to form an inflatable mattress.When in use,the number of inflatable component connections can be selected according to the specific needs of different patients or nursing areas.The device is easy to operate,flexible in combination,and suitable for timed flipping pressure reduction regulation in pressure ulcer high-risk areas under various postures.It has good clinical application value.

Objective To explore the factors influencing cognitive frailty in elderly inpatients with chronic heart failure(CHF)during hospitalisation,8 prediction models were developed with various machine learning algorithms to identify the best model as a guidance for medical staff on clinical interventions.Methods Convenience sampling method was used to select 650 elderly CHF inpatients who stayed in our hospital between September 2023 and June 2024 as the study objects in the cross-sectional investigation.A total of 607 patients had completed the study.The patients were divided into a cognitive frailty group and a non-cognitive frailty group according to the presence or absence of cognitive frailty.Variables were initially screened using univariate analysis and stepwise Logistic regression.The total sample was then randomly divided into a training set(n=424)and a testing set(n=183)of a 7:3 ratio.Eight predictive models were created using the algorithms of neural network(NN),k-nearest neighbour(KNN),linear discriminant analysis(LDA),support vector machine(SVM),naive Bayes(NB),logistic regression,decision tree(DT)and random forest(RF)on the training set.The predictive performance of the models was compared using the data of the testing set.Results The prevalence of cognitive frailty in elderly CHF inpatients was 48.3%.Results of Logistic regression showed that age,marital status,education,body mass index,multi-morbidity,nutritional status,medication,frequency of weekly exercise and the living conditions were the key factors(P<0.05).The overall accuracy in classification of the eight predictive models ranged from 0.803 to 0.847,with F1-values of 0.778 to 0.833,precision of 0.848 to 0.897,and recall rate of 0.700 to 0.778.The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.820 to 0.901.Conclusion Of the eight predictive models,the prediction model created with LDA shows the best performance and prediction in terms of comprehensive prediction metrics,while the prediction model created with NN shows the worst performance in comprehensive prediction.

Objective To investigate the potential mechanism of action of polygonatum odoratum in treating Alzheimer's disease through the utilization of network pharmacology and molecular docking techniques.Methods The methods employed include target screening,Gene Ontology(GO)function and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)enrichment analysis,and molecular docking simulations to assess the binding interactions between the active compounds in polygonatum odoratum(POD)and the key target proteins associated with Alzheimer's disease.Subsequently,lipopolysaccharide(LPS)was used to induce an inflammatory cell model in BV2 microglial cells.After treating the cell model with POD extract for 24 hours,the cells were collected,and the expression of the target genes were detected by Real-time PCR.Results Eight active ingredients and 172 targets of POD were screened.The biological processes such as protein phosphorylation and signal transduction,protein binding and ATP binding were obtained by GO functional analysis.KEGG enrichment yielded PI3K/Akt,cAMP and other signaling pathways.The molecular docking result showed that the active ingredient of POD had well binding activity with epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR),proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase Src(SRC),tumor necrosis factor(TNF),STAT3.Through Real-time PCR experiments,the gene expressions of inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS),prostaglandin G/H synthase 2(PTGS2),interleukin(IL)-6,and IL-1β in the LPS-induced inflammatory cell model were significantly upregulated.After treating the inflammatory model with POD extract for 24 hours,the expression of TNF-α was significantly reduced,the expression of STAT3 was upregulated,there were no significant changes in the expressions of SRC and EGFR.Conclusion Network pharmacology suggests polygonatum odoratum's potential anti-Alzheimer's effects may be mediated through its interaction with targets such as EGFR,TNF,SRC,and STAT3.The experimental results suggest that polygonatum odoratum exerts an anti-inflammatory effect by acting on TNF-α,which may further alleviate the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.
