ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between self-assessed health and age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index （AICC） in older adults， and to further analyze the differences in this relationship across gender groups. MethodsBased on the China health and retirement longitudinal study （CHARLS） database， this study selected data on basic characteristics， chronic disease status， depressive symptoms， and self-assessed health of older adults aged ≥60 years. Chi-square tests were used to perform a preliminary analysis of the association between these factors and AICC scores. A multifactorial ordered logistic regression model was constructed to assess the effects of each influencing factor on AICC， while multiple linear regression analysis was used to explore the linear relationship between self-rated health and AICC scores. Additionally. Stratified analysis by gender was performed to evaluate gender differences. ResultsA total of 10 911 participants were included， with a mean age of 67.40±5.94 years； 6 249 （57.3%） were male and 4 662（42.7%） were female. The distribution of AICC scores was categorized into low-risk， moderate-risk， higher-risk， and high-risk groups， accounting for 23.5%， 50.2%， 20.6%， and 5.7%， respectively. Multifactorial logistic regression analysis revealed that self-rated health was negatively associated with AICC in the total population and in the male geriatric group （OR=0.843， 95% CI： 0.776， 0.917， P=0.001）， （OR=0.886， 95% CI： 0.796 ， 0.987， P=0.028）， but did not reach statistical significance in the female geriatric group . Linear regression analysis further indicated a significant negative linear relationship between self-rated health and AICC （b=-0.485， 95% CI： -0.516，-0.455， P＜0.001）.This relationship was consistent in both male （b=-0.356， 95% CI： -0.406，-0.305， P＜0.001） and female （b=-0.373， 95% CI： -0.435，-0.310， P＜0.001） subgroups， with a stronger negative association in females. ConclusionSelf-rated health is significantly negatively associated with AICC， and attention should be given to self-rated health in the female geriatric population. Self-rated health can serve as an important tool for identifying elderly group at high risk of comorbidities providing a valuable basis for precise intervention.

In order to explore the role of pre-basic course teaching in the standardized training of residents in clinical pathology, we have independently designed and constructed a pre-basic course teaching system mainly focusing on anatomy and histoembryology, consisting of two levels of theoretical teaching (small lectures by students and systematic lectures by instructors) and two dimensions of practical training (sample collection teaching and case teaching). This teaching model centering on participatory lecturing, practice, summarization, assessment, and feedback has been demonstrated effective. The results showed that the theoretical and practical assessment scores of the experimental group [(458.80±17.60) and (415.40±19.30), respectively] were significantly higher than those of the control group [(444.50±20.90) and (398.80±23.70), respectively]. Among 28 students of grades 2019 to 2021 surveyed for teaching effectiveness, 96.43% were satisfied with the teaching model. The established teaching model provides new ideas for the reform of teaching methods in the standardized training of residents in clinical pathology.

Background::Endometriosis (EM) is a complex benign gynecological disease, but it has malignant biological behavior and can invade any part of the body. Clinical manifestations include pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, infertility, pelvic nodules, and masses. Our previous study successfully detected circulating endometrial cells (CECs) in the peripheral blood of patients with EM. The purpose of this study is to overcome the limitation of cell size in the previous microfluidic chip method, to further accurately capture CECs, understand the characteristics of these cells, and explore the relationship between CECs and the clinical course characteristics of patients with EM.Methods::Human peripheral venous blood used to detect CECs and circulating vascular endothelial cells (CVECs) was taken from EM patients ( n = 34) hospitalized in the Peking University People’s Hospital. We used the subtraction enrichment and immunostaining fluorescence in situ hybridization (SE-iFISH) method to exclude the interference of red blood cells, white blood cells, and CVECs, so as to accurately capture the CECs in the peripheral blood of patients with EM. Then we clarified the size and ploidy number of chromosome 8 of CECs, and a second grouping of patients was performed based on clinical characteristics to determine the relationship between CECs and clinical course characteristics. Results::The peripheral blood of 34 EM patients and 12 non-EM patients was evaluated by SE-iFISH. Overall, 34 eligible EM patients were enrolled. The results showed that the detection rates of CECs were 58.8% in EM patients and 16.7% in the control group. However, after classification according to clinical characteristics, more CECs could be detected in the peripheral blood of patients with rapidly progressive EM, with a detection rate of 94.4% (17/18). In total, 63.5% (40/63) of these cells were small cells with diameters below 5 μm, and 44.4% (28/63) were aneuploid cells. No significant association was found between the number of CECs and EM stage.Conclusion::The number and characteristics of CECs are related to the clinical course characteristics of patients with EM, such as pain and changes in lesion size, and may be used as biomarkers for personalized treatment and management of EM in the future.

AIM:To investigate the effect of plate-let(PLT)on angiogenesis in hepatocellular carcino-ma and the intervention effect of Cinobufagin(CBG).METHODS:Firstly,we screened the suitable co-incubation ratio of PLT and hepatocellular carci-noma cells,prepared conditioned medium,and de-termined the half inhibitory concentration of Cinob-ufagin;then,we set up a control group(human um-bilical vein endothelial cells(EC)+conventional me-dium),a crosstalk group(EC+CM_HP(strip culture prepared by crosstalk of HUH7 and PLT)),and an in-tervention group(EC+CM_HP+CBG).The migration,tube-formation and sprouting capacity of EC and the level of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)in co-cultured supernatant were evaluated by scratch assay,tube-formation assay,budding as-say and ELISA assay.Western blot was used to de-tect the expression of VEGFR2 and p-VEGFR2,and reverse verification was performed with inhibitors.A subcutaneous transplantation tumour model of hepatocellular carcinoma in nude mice was estab-lished,with Model group,Model+CBG group and Model+Apa group.The collagen expression of the transplantation tumour was observed by Masson staining,and the expression levels of vascular endo-thelial markers CD31 and CD34 were detected by immunofluorescence.RESULTS:When PLT:HUH7=200,the activity of HUH7 was the strongest,and the crosstalk between HUH7 and PLT significantly promoted the proliferation of EC(P＜0.01).Com-pared with Control group,the migration,tube-for-mation and budding ability of Crosstalk group were enhanced,and those of Intervention group were lower than those of Crosstalk group(P＜0.01).The expression level of VEGF in the supernatant of Crosstalk group was higher than that of Control group,while that of Intervention group was lower than that of Crosstalk group(P＜0.01).The expres-sion level of p-VEGFR2 protein in Crosstalk group was significantly higher than that of Control group,but the expression level of Intervention group was lower than that of Crosstalk group(P＜0.01).Large collagen fibre deposition was seen in the Model group,and CBG intervention significantly reduced collagen fibre deposition in the transplanted tu-mour tissues.CD31 and CD34 expression was pres-ent in the hepatocellular carcinoma transplanted tumour tissues in the Model group,and CBG inter-vention significantly reduced the expression of CD31 and CD34 in the liver cancer transplanted tu-mour tissues(P＜0.01).CONCLUSION:PLT enhances angiogenesis in hepatocellular carcinoma,and CBG may inhibit its tube-forming ability via the VEGF/VEGFR2 pathway.

Objective To explore the potential categories and influencing factors of fatigue trajectories in stroke patients,to provide information of the nursing management of patients with post-stroke fatigue after subsequent stroke.Methods 265 stroke patients hospitalized in the rehabilitation department of a tertiary A general hospital in Lishui from January 2022 to June 2023 were conveniently selected as the research subjects.The general information questionnaire,the Fatigue Severity Scale,the Health Behaviour Scale for Stroke Patient,and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index were employed.The degree of fatigue was evaluated at 1～2 weeks,1 month,3 months and 6 months after the onset of the disease.The latent category growth model was used to identify the potential categories of fatigue trajectory,and logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of fatigue trajectory.Results A total of 232 stroke patients were included,among which 128(55.17％)had fatigue,and there were 4 trajectories of fatigue,including 44 cases(18.97％)in the"continuous fatigue group",13 cases(5.60％)in the"increased fatigue group",71 cases(30.60％)in the"fatigue relief group",104 cases(44.83％)in the"no fatigue group".Logistic regression analysis showed that age,education level,health behavior and sleep quality were the influencing factors of fatigue trajectory in stroke patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion The fatigue of stroke patients can be divided into 4 kinds of change trajectories,and there is group heterogeneity.Nursing staff should carry out targeted nursing interventions for patients according to different fatigue change trajectories.

A 31-year-old man sought medical evaluation for a 2-year history of edema and proteinuria, with prior pathology suggesting atypical membranous nephropathy (MN). Despite treatment with a combination of steroids, calcineurin inhibitors, and four courses of rituximab (1 g, intravenous injection), the patient′s nephrotic syndrome showed no relief (24 h urine protein peaked at 31.18 g/d), indicating refractory nephrotic syndrome. Later in the disease course, a sudden surge of creatinine level (322.5 μmol/L) prompted a renal biopsy, which revealed concurrent acute interstitial nephritis. Further treatment involving steroids, cyclophosphamide, and a fifth rituximab infusion (1 g, intravenous injection) resulted in improvement in renal function (serum creatinine: 322.5?147 μmol/L), but the MN failed to achieve partial relief. Subsequent treatment with the novel humanized CD20 monoclonal antibody obinutuzumab (1 g, intravenous injection) was initiated. In the latest follow-up, anti-phospholipase-A2-receptor antibody (PLA2R) antibody were negative, B cells were eliminated, serum albumin was 36 g/L, urine protein-to-creatinine ratio was 4 810 mg/g, and serum creatinine was 162 μmol/L. This case underscores the potential efficacy of obinutuzumab in refractory MN. For advanced MN cases, prompt identification of the cause of acute kidney injury is crucial, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions to potentially stall renal function decline.

Objective To investigate status,the influencing factors and nursing measures for sarcopenia in the elderly patients with comorbidity.Methods A total of 385 elderly patients with comorbidity hospitalised in our hospital from January 2020 to March 2023 were included as the research objects by convience sampling.General data questionnaire and electronic medical record system were used to collect relevant data.According to a presence or absence of sarcopenia the elderly comorbid patients were divided into a sarcopenia group and a control group.Logistic regression was used to analyse the influencing factors of sarcopenia in the elderly patients and the relevant nursing measures.Results It was found that a total of 134(34.81%)elderly comorbid inpatients had developed sarcopenia.where male was 53.73%,female was 46.27%.Logistic regression analysis indicated that old age(OR=1.106),high asthenia score(OR=2.827),high CCI(Charlson Comorbidity Index)score(OR=1.507),low BMI(OR=0.314)and low ADL(activity of daily life)were the factors of sarcopenia(all P<0.05).Conclusions This study has identified that the influencing factors of sarcopenia in hospitalised elderly patients with comorbidity were old age,low BMI,low ADL,high weakness score and high CCI.Medical staff should take appropriate measures that are pertinent to the influencing factors in order to reduce the occurrence of sarcopenia among the hospitalised elderly patients with comorbidity.

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: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.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and related influencing factors of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(auto-HSCT)as first-line consolidation therapy for newly diagnosed elderly patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma(DLBCL).Methods:Retrospective study of clinical characteristics, therapeutic effect, and prognostic factors of newly diagnosed DLBCL elderly patients with an International Prognostic Index(IPI)score≥3 who underwent auto-HSCT in the Affiliated People's Hospital of Ningbo University from January 2015 to August 2020.Results:Among the 31 patients, 18 were males and 13 were females, with a median age of 65(60-75)years.The 13 cases(41.9%)were involved in 2 sites outside lymph nodes, and 13 cases(41.9%)were involved in bone marrow.IPI medium and high risk(IPI=3 points)was found in 21 cases(67.7%), high risk(≥4 points)in 10 cases(32.2%). Before transplantation, 21(67.7%)patients achieved complete remission(CR), and the other 10(32.3%)patients were in the partial remission(PR). All patients after transplantation achieved hematopoietic reconstitution.The median time for neutrophil and platelet engraftment were 10(9-16)days and 12(8-58)days respectively.During a median follow-up of 20.9(3.1 to 73.0)months after transplantation, transplant-related mortality within 100 days was 3.2%(1/31). The 2-year overall survival(OS)and progression-free survival(PFS)were(77.2±8.4)% and(72.7±8.3)%, respectively.Multivariate Cox analysis showed that the achieved partial remission status before auto-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation[OS( HR=30.064, 95% CI: 2.231-405.209, P=0.010), PFS( HR=9.165, 95% CI: 1.926-43.606, P=0.005)], and CD34 + cell count in graft <3×10 6/kg[OS( HR=12.004, 95% CI: 1.234-116.807, P=0.032), PFS( HR=6.115, 95% CI: 1.325-28.221, P=0.020)]were the independent poor prognostic factor affecting both OS and PFS in elderly lymphoma patients. Conclusions:Auto-HSCT may improve the survival rate of carefully selected elderly patients with DLBCL.Pretransplant disease status and the number of CD34 + cells in the graft are important factors to predict the efficiency of auto-HSCT of the patients.
