Objective To explore the risk prediction model of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in community patients with hypertension based on remote ambulatory blood pressure parameters. Methods From November 2023 to October 2024, 486 community patients with hypertension who received standardized management in Nanjing Medical University Affiliated to Suzhou Hospital were retrospectively selected. All patients wore remote ambulatory blood pressure monitor to obtain 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure data. Clinical data were collected and remote ambulatory blood pressure parameters [24-hour systolic blood pressure variability (SBPV), 24-hour diastolic blood pressure variability (DBPV), nighttime SBPV, nighttime DBPV, daytime SBPV, daytime DBPV] were extracted. The patients were followed up for 12 months, and were classified into MACE group (n=42) and non-MACE group (n=444) according to whether MACE occurred during follow-up. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was adopted to screen the influencing factors for MACE. Based on the above factors, a risk prediction model was constructed and verified by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results MACE occurred in 42 cases among 486 patients, with an incidence rate of 8.64%. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis suggested that nighttime DBPV (OR=1.119, 95%CI: 1.030-1.214), 24h-SBPV (OR=1.115, 95%CI: 1.007-1.235), nighttime SBPV (OR=1.116, 95%CI: 1.016-1.226) and diabetes mellitus (OR=2.762, 95%CI: 1.059-7.203) were independent factors for MACE (P<0.05). The model validation results revealed that the area under the ROC curve was 0.905 (95%CI: 0.854-0.956 ), and the model had a good discrimination degree. Conclusion Nighttime DBPV, 24h-SBPV, nighttime SBPV and diabetes mellitus are independent risk factors for MACE in community patients with hypertension. The clinical prediction model based on these variables exhibits certain predictive value on MACE risk.

ObjectiveThis paper aims to observe the syndrome improvement and negative antigen conversion rate of Qingxuan Daozhi formula in the treatment of influenza in children (heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome). MethodsThrough a multi-center randomized controlled methodology design,confirmed influenza cases were collected from October 2022 to April 2023 in the pediatrics department of eight hospitals,such as Dongfang Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. A total of 180 children with influenza and heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome conforming to the standard were recruited through the clinic. The sick children meeting the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into groups by a block-randomized method. The children in the experimental group were treated with Qingxuan Daozhi formula for five days,and those in the control group were treated with Oseltamivir Phosphate Granules for five days. The primary efficacy indicator was the negative conversion rate of influenza antigen detection. Secondary efficacy indicators were the Canadian acute respiratory illness and flu scale (CARIFS) and the incidence of complications,severe cases, and critical cases. Follow-up observation was conducted on the day of enrollment,48 hours after medication,72 hours after medication, and (6+1) d after medication. ResultsOne hundred and eighty participants were randomly assigned to the experimental group (90 cases) or the control group (90 cases). All participants were followed up during the study. Comparison of influenza antigen detection results in the primary efficacy indicators showed that the average time of negative influenza antigen conversion in the experimental group was (5.29±1.25) d,and that in the control group was (5.40±1.68) d,without a statistically significant difference. After five days of intervention,52 cases in the experimental group and 51 cases in the control group converted to negative,without a statistically significant difference. CARIFS score results in the secondary efficacy indicators showed that during 72 hours after intervention,there were statistically significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in three dimensions, including headache,muscle soreness, and the need for extra care (P<0.05). On the (6+1) days after the intervention,the differences in both the experimental group and the control group were statistically significant in 10 dimensions, including sore throat,bad sleep,uncomfortable feeling,poor spirit and fatigue,crying more than usual,the need for extra care,symptom,function,influence on parents,and total score (P<0.05). The comparison results within the group in the dimensional scores of symptom, function, and influence on parents,as well as the CARIFS total score showed that with the delay of follow-up time,scores of both groups decreased significantly,with a statistically significant difference (P<0.01). Inter-group comparison results showed that the mean score of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group at the time of enrollment. With the progress of intervention,the score of the experimental group was significantly decreased compared with that of the control group. At the end of follow-up,the mean score of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group,with no statistically significant difference. In terms of the incidence of complications,severe cases, and critical cases, there were no complications,severe cases, and critical cases in the two groups,without a statistically significant difference. ConclusionThe symptom improvement effect and negative antigen conversion rate of Qingxuan Daozhi formula in the treatment of influenza in children (heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome) are not inferior to Oseltamivir Phosphate granules, and children's acceptance is better. It can be more widely used in clinical treatment of influenza in children (heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome).

Purpose:
Our previous study showed that circulating tumor cell (CTC) count combined with gene mutation detection might help differentiate benign and malignant pulmonary nodules (PNs). Herein, we aimed to expand the study cohort and conduct further sequencing analysis.
Materials and Methods:
Patients with PNs were included, and CTCs were identified before operation. Low-coverage whole-genome sequencing (LC-WGS) and lung cancer-related targeted gene sequencing were performed on CTCs. The diagnostic efficacy was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The differences in CTC counts among subgroups classified by demographic–clinical characteristics were analyzed. LC-WGS–based copy number variation (CNV) analysis and targeted gene mutation analysis were conducted.
Results:
A total of 172 patients were included. CTC count of 2.5 was identified by the ROC curves as the optimal diagnostic cutoff. The sensitivity and specificity of CTC count for differentiating benign and malignant PNs were 54.2% and 78.6%, respectively. The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of combined CTC count, radiological nodule type, and any malignant imaging features were 84.7% and 71.4%, respectively. The CTC counts were significantly greater in patients with aggressive tumors, later stage, and spread through air spaces. CTCs from malignant cases had more CNVs than those from benign cases.
Conclusion
CTC count can be used in identifying malignant PNs. The diagnostic efficacy can be improved if combined with computed tomography imaging characteristics. Further CNV analysis might help differential diagnosis. Greater CTC count might suggest more aggressive tumors. CTC detection can provide important information and guidance for subsequent management of PNs.

BackgroundStressful life events are associated with subclinical depressive and anxious symptoms, which may increase the risk of subsequent depressive and anxiety disorders. However, the mechanisms linking stressful life events to subclinical emotional symptoms remain unclear. ObjectiveTo explore the clinical characteristics of individuals with subclinical depression and anxiety following stressful events, and to analyze the mechanisms by which stressful events affect subclinical depressive and anxious symptoms, so as to provide a reference for the early identification and intervention of emotional symptoms in individuals under stress. MethodsFrom December 2024 to April 2025, 80 individuals with subclinical depression and/or anxiety (study group) and 80 healthy controls were recruited via the online official accounts of Beijing Anding Hospital, Capital Medical University and Beijing Huilongguan Hospital, Capital Medical University. Participants completed the Patients' Health Questionnaire Depression Scale-9 item (PHQ-9), the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 item (GAD-7), the Life Event Scale (LES), the Self-rating Idea of Suicide Scale (SIOSS), and the Dysfunctional Attitude Scale (DAS). Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to examine the associations in the study group. Serial mediation analyses were conducted using model 6 of Process version 4.1, to test whether cognitive distortion and hopelessness mediated the associations of stressful life events with subclinical depressive and anxious symptoms. ResultsCompared with healthy controls, participants with subclinical depressive and anxious symptoms had higher scores on PHQ-9, GAD-7, LES, SIOSS hopelessness subscale, and DAS scores (Z/t=10.294, 9.197, 4.659, 6.918, 3.517, P<0.01). In the study group, GAD-7 score was positively correlated with LES, DAS, and SIOSS hopelessness subscale scores (rs=0.233, 0.465, 0.588, P<0.05); SIOSS hopelessness subscale score was positively correlated with DAS and LES scores (rs=0.393, 0.309, P<0.01) and cognitive distortion was positively correlated with stressful life events(rs=0.432, P<0.01). Stressful life events were directly associated with subclinical anxiety symptoms (β=0.040, 95% CI: 0.015–0.065, P<0.05), and showed a significant serial indirect association with subclinical anxiety symptoms (indirect effect=0.006, 95% CI: 0.001–0.017, P<0.01), accounting for 7.15% of the total effect. Stressful life associated with subclinical depressive symptoms (β=0.087, 95% CI: 0.060–0.115, P<0.01), however, the indirect effect through cognitive distortion and hopelessness were not statistically significant. ConclusionAfter experiencing stressful events, individuals with subclinical depression and anxiety exhibit more pronounced cognitive distortions and hopelessness. Stressful events can both directly affect subclinical anxiety symptoms and indirectly affect them through the serial mediating effects of cognitive distortion and hopelessness. Stressful events have a direct effect on subclinical depressive symptoms, whereas the mediating effects of cognitive distortion and hopelessness are no statistically significant.

Objective:To understand the consultation for post-exposure prophylaxis(PEP) services and their related factors among college students who were at high risk for HIV infection in Hangzhou,and to provide a reference basis for formulating an intervention model for college students at high risk of HIV infection.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted between November 2022, and March 2023, in 5 different types of schools in Hangzhou. The subjects should meet the inclusion criteria of age between 18 years and 24 years old self-reported having ever had sex in the past. The sample size was estimated at 864. An online survey was conducted among college students by questionnaire star of an online survey platform to collect their demographic information, sexual behavior characteristics, HIV test status, and consultation for PEP services. The HIV infection risk among participants was evaluated according to their sexual behavior. The consultation for PEP services and the related factors of college students who were at high risk for HIV infection were analyzed.Results:A total of 20 973 college students were surveyed, and 2 291 who have ever had sex were recruited in the study. The proportion assessed as being at high risk for HIV infection was 43.47% (996/2 291), and the proportion of consultation for PEP services was 9.24% (92/996). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that among college students who were at high risk for HIV infection, the positive related factors of consultation for PEP services included knowing about PEP services (a OR=17.49, 95% CI: 7.98-38.36) ,having HIV tests (a OR=3.92, 95% CI: 2.08-7.42) and access to condoms on campus (a OR=3.38, 95% CI: 2.02-5.65), and the negative related factor was homosexual orientation (a OR=0.24, 95% CI: 0.06-0.91). Conclusions:Among college students who were at high risk for HIV infection, the proportion of consultation for PEP services was at a lower level. It is necessary to strengthen further the health education of PEP services knowledge among college students, improve the PEP services system, and promote the utilization of PEP services to reduce new HIV infections among college students.
