Doxorubicin (Dox) is an anthracycline drug widely applied in various malignancies. However, the fatal cardiotoxicity induced by Dox limits its clinical application. Post-transcriptional protein modification via ubiquitination/deubiquitination in cardiomyocytes mediates the pathophysiological process in Dox-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC). In this study, we aimed to clarify the regulatory role and mechanism of a deubiquitinating enzyme, ubiquitin-specific peptidase 13 (USP13), in DIC. RNA-seq analysis and experimental examinations identified that cardiomyocyte-derived USP13 positively correlated with DIC. Mice with cardiac-specific deletion of USP13 were subjected to Dox modeling. Adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (AAV9) carrying cTNT promoter was constructed to overexpress USP13 in mouse heart tissues. Cardiomyocyte-specific knockout of USP13 exacerbated DIC, while its overexpression mitigated DIC in mice. Mechanistically, USP13 deubiquitinates the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) and promotes the autolysosome-related degradation of STING, subsequently alleviating cardiomyocyte inflammation and death. Our study suggests that USP13 serves a cardioprotective role in DIC and indicates USP13 as a potential therapeutic target for DIC treatment.

Metastasis serves as an indicator of malignancy and is a biological characteristic of carcinomas. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a key role in the promotion of tumor invasion and metastasis and in the enhancement of tumor cell aggressiveness. Prostaglandin E synthase 3 (p23) is a cochaperone for heat shock protein 90 (HSP90). Our previous study showed that p23 is an HSP90-independent transcription factor in cancer-associated inflammation. The effect and mechanism of action of p23 on lung cancer metastasis are tested in this study. By utilizing cell models in vitro and mouse tail vein metastasis models in vivo, the results provide solid evidence that p23 is critical for promoting lung cancer metastases by regulating downstream CXCL1 expression. Rather than acting independently, p23 forms a complex with RNA-binding motif protein 14 (RBM14) to facilitate EMT progression in lung cancer. Therefore, our study provides evidence for the potential role of the RBM14-p23-CXCL1-EMT axis in the metastasis of lung cancer.

ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of overweight， obesity and central obesity among elderly residents in Xuhui District， and to analyze the epidemiological status of central obesity in elderly people with different body mass indexes. MethodsThe third round of health status and health service utilization monitoring data in Xuhui District was used. The information collected from questionnaire survey and physical examination were analyzed. SPSS 20.0 software was used for χ² test， trend χ² test and multinominal logistic regression analysis. Results5 096 survey subjects were included. The prevalence of overweight， general obesity， and central obesity in the residents aged 60 and above in Xuhui District were 34.3%， 6.5%， and 29.2%， respectively. There was gender difference in the rates of overweight， obesity， and central obesity among the residents. The overweight and central obesity rates in males were higher than those in females， while the obesity rate was lower than that in females （P<0.05）. Multinominal logistic regression analysis showed that in comparison with the normal weight non-central obesity group drinking only at party （OR=1.729， 95%CI： 1.184‒2.525）， and hypertension （OR=1.637， 95%CI： 1.305‒2.053）， were highly associated with normal weight with central obesity. Aged 60‒ years （OR=1.589， 95%CI： 1.190‒2.120）， aged 70‒ years （OR=1.763， 95%CI： 1.327‒2.342）， male （OR=1.379， 95%CI： 1.134‒1.676）， hypertension （OR=2.231， 95%CI： 1.878‒2.649）， former smokers （OR=1.437， 95%CI： 1.027‒2.011）， drinking at party only （OR=1.491， 95%CI： 1.107‒2.006）， and drinking ≥3 times per week （OR=1.611， 95%CI： 1.116‒2.325）， were highly associated with overweight combined with central obesity. Aged 60‒ years （OR=3.817， 95%CI： 2.251‒6.474）， aged 70‒ years （OR=3.084， 95%CI： 1.838‒5.175）， hypertension （OR=3.683， 95%CI： 2.753‒4.929）， diabetes （OR=2.085， 95%CI： 1.511‒2.878）， former smokers （OR=1.835， 95%CI： 1.043‒3.226）， were highly associated with compound obesity. Central obesity was found in the elderly residents with different BMI categories， and the rate of central obesity increased with the increase of BMI grade. ConclusionThe prevalence of overweight， obesity and central obesity among the elderly aged 60 years and above in Xuhui District is not optimistic. Attention should be paid to the elderly under 80 years old who are with hypertension and/or diabetes， alcohol consumption， low educational level and not doing physical exercise. Especially for the central obesity population with normal BMI， measures should be taken to prevent and intervene the occurrence of obesity and related diseases.

Objective:To investigate the serum metabolites and their metabolic characteristics of patients with optic neuritis.Methods:Case-control study. From January 2021 to January 2022, 9 serum specimens of diagnosed patients with optic neuritis were collected in Department of Neurology from Beijing Tongren Hospital and 9 healthy subjects as the control. Among them, there were 5 females and 4 males in the optic neuritis group, aged (35.8±12.9) years; there were 5 females and 4 males in the healthy control group, aged (32.6±8.6) years. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to detect metabolites in serum of healthy control and patients with optic neuritis. The principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal partial least-squares discriminination analysis (OPLS-DA) were used to analyze the differential metabolites . The variable importance projection value of OPLS-DA model and the P value of t-test was applied to find the different metabolites. Results:Thirty-seven metabolites were finally identified from serum samples. Four metabolites with variable important in projection (VIP) values larger than 1 and P values less than 0.05 were teased out, three metabolites, LysoPC (P-16∶0), LysoPC (16∶0), LysoPC (P-18∶0) belonge to phospholipid and one metabolite was L-Threonine, they were all down-regulated. The area under curve were 0.951, 0.889, 0.963 and 0.944, respectively. Conclusion:Based on metabonomic analysis, some metabolites in serum have changed, which can provide basis for biomarkers screening of optic neuritis.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective This study aims to investigate the application of symptom group management using a mo-bile health platform in managing heart failure patients during convalescence.Methods The research involved pa-tients with chronic heart failure who were treated at a tertiary A hospital in Qingdao from June 2022 to December 2022.The experimental group consisted of 235 patients who were discharged after treatment in ward A,while the control group consisted of 235 patients who were discharged during the same period in ward B.The experimental group received an mHealth-based symptom clusters management program following routine continuous nursing and the control group was given routine continuous nursing after discharge.6 months after the intervention,the heart function status,self-care level,and quality of life were compared between 2 groups.Results The experimental group ultimately included 232 cases,while the control group ultimately included 225 cases.Furthermore,the cardiac functional status,level of self-care,and quality of life of both the experimental group and the control group showed improvement compared to the pre-intervention period(P＜0.05).The experimental group exhibited significantly better cardiac function status compared to the control group,and the experimental group demonstrated higher levels of self-care confidence,and quality of life relative to the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion The utilization of a mobile medical platform can enhance the management of heart failure patients'symptom groups,resulting in im-proved disease management efficiency.This platform provides patients with a comprehensive self-management plan,ultimately enhancing their self-management abilities and overall outcomes.

Objective:To deeply understand the inner experiences of undergraduate nursing interns using Nursing Information Systems (NIS) and provide references for formulating relevant intervention strategies.Methods:A descriptive phenomenological approach was adopted for this qualitative study. Purposeful sampling was used to select undergraduate nursing interns from four comprehensive hospitals in Hangzhou during February to May 2023 for semi-structured interviews. The interview data were analyzed using Colaizzi's seven-step method to extract themes.Results:Four themes were identified in this study: insufficient preparedness of undergraduate nursing interns in using NIS, low engagement of undergraduate nursing interns in using NIS, perceived benefits of using NIS by undergraduate nursing interns, and adaptation strategies of undergraduate nursing interns using NIS.Conclusions:There are issues such as insufficient preparedness and low engagement among undergraduate nursing interns in using NIS. Some respondents experience emotions such as anxiety, fatigue, and decreased enthusiasm. It is recommended that colleges and internship hospitals pay attention to the clinical work demands and the learning needs of nursing interns, thus providing education and support for the use of NIS.

The patient, an 84-year-old man, was admitted to the hospital with "low back pain with limitation of movement for more than half a year". Admission examination: mild kyphotic deformity of the spine, significant tenderness and percussion pain in the lower back, bilateral lower limb muscle strength graded 5, normal skin sensation. Lumbar MRI and CT revealed a compressive fracture of the L 4 vertebra. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) indicated a bone mineral density T-score of -2.6, suggesting osteoporosis. Admission diagnosis: osteoporotic compressive fracture of the L 4 vertebra. The patient underwent thorough examinations to exclude surgical contraindications. On the fourth day of admission, the patient underwent percutaneous vertebroplasty of the L 4 vertebra. At the end of the operation, the patient became unresponsive, with a blood pressure drop to 94/63 mmHg and oxygen saturation falling to 80%. Cranial CT showed multiple punctate gas density shadows within the brain. Lumbar CT revealed gas accumulation in the soft tissue adjacent to the lumbar spinous processes, localized intraductal gas, and punctate gas density shadows within the vessels in both groin areas. The diagnosis was intracranial arterial gas embolism. The patient's condition deteriorated further, with loss of consciousness, neck stiffness, increased muscle tone of both lower limbs, and positive Babinski's sign on both sides. Symptomatic treatments included brain protection, maintaining cerebral perfusion, and improving collateral cerebral circulation, but the patient did not regain consciousness. The patient developed a pulmonary infection one month postoperatively and died three months postoperatively due to respiratory failure. This case highlights the potential risk of gas embolism during vertebroplasty. Measures to reduce such complications should be implemented, such as minimizing the duration of venous blood-air contact, pre-filling the cannula with saline to reduce the venous blood-air interface, and appropriately increasing venous pressure to reduce the risk of gas entry. It is recommended to use smaller diameter catheters. For patients with pre-existing cardiac conditions or elderly patients, preoperative cardiac Doppler ultrasound should be performed to exclude anatomical abnormalities such as patent foramen ovale.

Objective:To explore potential predictors of refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (RMPP) in early stage. Methods:The prospective multicenter study was conducted in Zhejiang, China from May 1 st, 2019 to January 31 st, 2020. A total of 1 428 patients with fever >48 hours to <120 hours were studied. Their clinical data and oral pharyngeal swab samples were collected; Mycoplasma pneumoniae DNA in pharyngeal swab specimens was detected. Patients with positive Mycoplasma pneumoniae DNA results underwent a series of tests, including chest X-ray, complete blood count, C-reactive protein, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and procalcitonin. According to the occurrence of RMPP, the patients were divided into two groups, RMPP group and general Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (GMPP) group. Measurement data between the 2 groups were compared using Mann-Whitney U test. Logistic regression analyses were used to examine the associations between clinical data and RMPP. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to analyse the power of the markers for predicting RMPP. Results:A total of 1 428 patients finished the study, with 801 boys and 627 girls, aged 4.3 (2.7, 6.3) years. Mycoplasma pneumoniae DNA was positive in 534 cases (37.4%), of whom 446 cases (83.5%) were diagnosed with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia, including 251 boys and 195 girls, aged 5.2 (3.3, 6.9) years. Macrolides-resistant variation was positive in 410 cases (91.9%). Fifty-five cases were with RMPP, 391 cases with GMPP. The peak body temperature before the first visit and LDH levels in RMPP patients were higher than that in GMPP patients (39.6 (39.1, 40.0) vs. 39.2 (38.9, 39.7) ℃, 333 (279, 392) vs. 311 (259, 359) U/L, both P<0.05). Logistic regression showed the prediction probability π=exp (-29.7+0.667×Peak body temperature (℃)+0.004×LDH (U/L))/(1+exp (-29.7+0.667×Peak body temperature (℃)+0.004 × LDH (U/L))), the cut-off value to predict RMPP was 0.12, with a consensus of probability forecast of 0.89, sensitivity of 0.89, and specificity of 0.67; and the area under ROC curve was 0.682 (95% CI 0.593-0.771, P<0.01). Conclusion:In MPP patients with fever over 48 to <120 hours, a prediction probability π of RMPP can be calculated based on the peak body temperature and LDH level before the first visit, which can facilitate early identification of RMPP.
