ObjectiveA mouse model of vaccinia virus Tiantan strain (VTT)-induced encephalopathy was developed using AG6 mice. MethodsVTT was amplified by infecting Vero cells at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.01, followed by concentration and titration. After 72 h of incubation, virus-containing cells were collected and subjected to concentration. The concentrated viral suspension was serially diluted (10-fold dilutions) and added to 6-well plates containing confluent Vero cell monolayers for plaque assay. The number of plaques formed in each well was counted, and the virus titer was calculated based on the dilution factor. Fourteen 5-6-week-old AG6 mice (half male and half female, housed separately by sex) were randomly divided into a control group (n=3, PBS), a low-dose group (n=6, 1×10⁵ PFU), and a high-dose group (n=5, 5×10⁵ PFU). The mice were anesthetized by isoflurane inhalation and then infected via intranasal instillation. The mental state of the mice in each group was observed daily, and the body weight and mortality were recorded. On day 13 post-infection, 2% Evans Blue (4 mL/kg body weight) was administered via tail vein injection to assess blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption. Subsequently, brain tissue samples were collected for immunofluorescence analysis to evaluate the activation of astrocytes and microglia. ResultsThe titer of purified VTT was 1×10⁷ PFU/mL. Compared with the control group, mice in the low-dose group showed no significant change in body weight, and no lethality was observed. In contrast, mice in the high-dose group exhibited significant weight loss starting on day 5 post-infection (P<0.05), accompanied by lethality. On day 13 post-infection, no Evans Blue extravasation was detected in the brain tissues of the low-dose group, while the olfactory bulb region of the high-dose group displayed distinct blue staining, indicating disruption of the BBB. Immunofluorescence analysis revealed no significant proliferation of astrocytes and microglia in the olfactory bulb region of the low-dose group on day 13 post-infection. In contrast, marked activation of glial cells was observable in the high-dose group. ConclusionAn animal model of VTT-induced encephalopathy in AG6 mice is successfully established, characterized by BBB disruption and reactive gliosis specifically localized to the olfactory bulb region, manifested as astrocytic and microglial proliferation.

Health economics evidence plays an important role in linking clinical value evidence with health resource allocation decisions in the development of clinical practice guidelines. It can not only effectively balance clinical effectiveness and economic feasibility but also avoid forming "idealized" recommendations that are detached from the affordability of the healthcare system or the burden-bearing capacity of patients. To promote guideline developers to use health economics evidence more standardizedly and fully, this paper conducts an in-depth analysis of the current application status, existing challenges, access channels, and application processes of health economics evidence in current guidelines, and on this basis, puts forward considerations and suggestions for strengthening and standardizing the application of health economics evidence in China's clinical practice guidelines.

Objective To explore the influencing factors of the quality of gastric mucosal preparation before gastroscopy on the clarity of gastric mucosa under gastroscopy.Methods Clinical data of 240 patients who underwent painless gastroscopy for the first time at the endoscopy center of a tertiary hospital in Wenzhou from September 1,2023 to December 31,2024 were analyzed.The mucosal clarity score under gas-troscopy was recorded during the gastroscopy process,and the influencing factors on the qualification rate of gastric mucosal preparation quality for painless gastroscopy were analyzed.Results The unqualified rate of gastric mucosal preparation in patients undergoing painless gastroscopy was 52.9％,with the highest rates in the upper part of the stomach(17.1％)and the bottom of the stomach(12.1％),followed by the lower part of the stomach(9.2％),the antrum(7.9％)and bulb(3.8％),the lowest rates in the esophagus(2.9％).The quality of gastric mucosal preparation was relatively poor.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that,BMI,Helicobacter pylori(Hp)infection,abnormal gastric juice characteristics,and gastric polyps were independent risk factors affecting gastric mucosal preparation(OR=2.784,3.501,3.873,3.611,P＜0.05).Conclusion Insufficient preparation of gastric mucosa is associated with high BMI,Hp infection,abnormal gastric juice characteristics,and gastric polyps.To address patients with these risk factors,individualized pre-treatment plans should be developed based on routine fasting to optimize endoscopic field of view and ensure examination quality.

Objective:In this study,we aimed to explore the clinical features and factors affecting prognosis by collecting data from patients with ocular adnexal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma(OAML).Methods:Clinical data of 54 patients diagnosed with ocular ad-nexal lymphoma(OAL)at The Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University between September 2010 and October 2024 were retro-spectively analyzed.Of these,39(72.2%)had mucosa-asso-ciated lymphoid tissue(MALT)lymphoma,which constituted the focus of this study.The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the progression-free survival(PFS)and overall survival(OS)rates.The Log-rank test was applied to compare survival differences across pathological types and treatment groups.Correlation analysis and univariate Cox regres-sion were conducted to assess the impact of various factors on PFS.Variables with P<0.050 were subsequently included in multivariate Cox regression analysis to identify independent risk factors.Results:Among the 39 patients,the median age at onset was 64 years.Thirty-two and seven patients had unilateral orbital involvement and bilateral orbital involvement,respectively.All the patients underwent surgery.After surgery,the 5-year PFS and the 5-year OS of patients with MALT lymphoma were 54.21%and 100%,respectively.Univariate Cox re-gression analysis indicated that lesion location(P=0.011,hazard ratio[HR]=0.07),remission status after the first treatment(P<0.001,HR=0.082),and EBV infection(P=0.011,HR=0.207)significantly affected PFS.Multivariate regression analysis showed that remission status after the first treatment(P=0.034,HR=0.193)was an independent risk factor for prognosis.Patients who had not achieved complete re-sponse(CR)had a worse prognosis.Conclusions:Remission status after the first treatment is an important prognostic indicator in patients with MALT lymphoma.Close follow-up should be performed for patients who have not achieved complete remission after the first treat-ment.

Objective To explore the value of nomogram of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)ultrasonic feature regression model for predicting microvascular invasion(MVI).Methods A total of 400 HCC patients(432 lesions)confirmed by pathology were retrospectively collected and divided into training set and validation set at the ratio of 7∶3.There were 280 cases(302 lesions)in training set,including 160 cases(172 lesions)of MVI(+)and 120 cases(130 lesions)of MVI(—),while 120 cases(130 lesions)in validation set,including 70 cases(76 lesions)of MVI(+)and 50 cases(54 lesions)of MVI(-).Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to analyze ultrasonic manifestations of HCC.The independent predictors of MVI of HCC were screened out,and a regression model and nomogram were established,and the efficacy,calibration and clinical value of the nomogram for predicting MVI of HCC were evaluated.Results The maximum diameter of HCC(OR=2.564),margin regular or not(OR=0.412),internal echo uniform or not(OR=1.875),the presence or absence of capsule(OR=0.305)and Adler blood flow grade(OR=3.502)were all independent predictors of MVI of HCC(all P＜0.05).The sensitivity,specificity,accuracy and the area under the curve(AUC)of the nomogram for predicting MVI of HCC in training set was 84.88％,81.05％,83.11％and 0.950,respectively,while in validation set was 78.95％,77.78％,78.46％and 0.910,respectively.Calibration curve and decision curve analysis indicated that this nomogram had good calibration and high clinical net benefit in both training and validation sets.Conclusion Nomogram of ultrasound feature regression model could be used to effectively predict MVI of HCC.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognostic risk factors in elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia(AML).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 101 elderly AML patients admitted to Affiliated Hospital of Jiaxing University from January 2022 to December 2024.All patients were treated with azacitidine+venetoclax regimen.The clinical characteristics of patients and the risk factors related to prognosis were explored.Results The median follow-up was 14 months.Among the 101 patients,74 achieved complete remission or complete remission with incomplete hematological recovery.The median overall survival(OS)of patients with aged ≥70 years,white blood cell count＞50 × 109/L,TP53 mutation,complex chromosomes,and high-risk European leukemia net(ELN)risk stratification was significantly shortened(P＜0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that age(HR=0.125,95％CI:0.023-0.662,P=0.015),white blood cell count(HR=0.145,95％CI:0.032-0.662,P=0.013),and ELN risk stratification(HR=100.397,95％CI:14.395-700.207,P＜0.001)were all independent influencing factors for OS in elderly AML patients.Conclusion Age,white blood cell count and ELN risk stratification are all independent influencing factors affecting OS in elderly AML patients.

Spine fracture and dislocation are common traumatic spinal conditions that often require surgical intervention due to compromised spinal stability. Surgical approaches include anterior, posterior, and combined anterior-posterior spinal procedures. According to the specific surgical requirements, patients may be placed in the prone position or repositioned between prone and supine positions during surgery. Intraoperative repositioning has become an essential step in patient positioning. However, during repositioning, patients with spinal fracture and dislocation are at increased risk for complications such as hemodynamic instability, nerve injury, and pressure injuries to the skin and soft tissue. Notably, due to the instability of the spinal cord, even minor manipulations can further exacerbate the damage, potentially leading to severe outcomes like paraplegia. Although the current clinical guidelines provide instructive recommendations for standard position, there remains no specific protocols for intraoperative repositioning in patients with spine fracture and dislocation. With a concern for the lack of clinical studies on positioning techniques, risk prevention, and operational norms for special patients, no applicable guidelines or standards are available. A consensus was required to provide clinical reference, meet the requirements of surgical treatment, and minimize the safety risks of patients caused by improper placement of positions. Professional Committee of Operating Room Nursing of Shaanxi Nursing Association organized experts in nursing management and operating room nursing from major hospitals across China to formulate Expert consensus on intraoperative repositioning for patients with spinal fracture and dislocation ( version 2025). The consensus provides 11 recommendations covering pre-repositioning preparation, intraoperative maneuvers, and post-repositioning observation, aiming to provide references for clinical standardization of the intraoperative repositioning process and protection of patients′ safety.

Background and aims:Primary sclerosing cholangitis(PSC)is an autoimmune liver disease characterized by complex pathogenesis and limited available therapeutic options.The mechanisms underlying the development and progression of PSCs remain unclear.Liver X receptor beta(LXR-β)is recognized to modulate lipid metabolism and immune response,but its specific involvement in the PSC has not been elucidated.Here,we explored the role and mechanism of LXR-β in PSC induced by 3,5-diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydro-2,4,6-collidine(DDC).Methods:CRISPR-Cas9 technology was applied to generate Abcb4(coding MDR2,next named as Mdr2),Nr1h2(coding LXR-β,next named as Lxrβ),and Rag2(coding RAG2)knockout mice.DDC was used to induce PSC.Hematoxylin and eosin and Sirius red staining were used to assess the extent of hepatic injury and fibrosis.Flow cytometry was used to observe immune cell subsets.Results:We observed a declining trend in hepatic Lxrβ in the PSC model.Unexpectedly,Lxrβ knockout failed to modulate DDC-induced PSC pathogenesis.Concomitantly,assessment of the influence of Rag2 deficiency on PSC progression revealed the absence of aggravated or alleviated hepatic injury or fibrosis in the Rag2-/-DDC mice.However,Lxrβ depletion intensified DDC-induced PSC in the Rag2-/-mice,with more abundant infiltrative inflammatory cells and more severe liver fibrosis.Compared with Rag2-/-DDC mice,Lxrβ-/-Rag2-/-DDC mice had higher serum ALT and AST levels and mRNA expression of proinflammatory and profibrotic genes.Flow cytometry showed that LXR-β deficiency resulted in a diminished population of hepatic innate immune cells.Conclusion:This study indicated innate immune cell LXR-β deficiency can exacerbate hepatic injury and fibrosis in murine models of PSC suggesting that LXR-β may regulate the function of innate immunity in the fibrotic advancement of PSC.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Compound Danshen Dripping Pills combined with Tirofiban in alleviating myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury(MIRI)in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI)after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods Ninety-two patients with acute STEMI of qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome who were admitted to the Chest Pain Center of Shunde Hospital,Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine between March 2023 and October 2023 were equally randomized into a control group and a treatment group using a random number table,with 46 cases in each group.The control group received intracoronary loading dose of Tirofiban during PCI combined with postoperative intravenous micro-pump injection of Tirofiban,while the trial group additionally received Compound Danshen Dripping Pills orally,the treatment course lasted for 4 weeks.Before treatment or immediately after surgery and after 4 weeks of treatment,the two groups were observed in the changes in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome scores,cardiac function parameters[including left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),cardiac output(CO),and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVEDD)],and levels of inflammatory markers of C-reactive protein(CRP)and brain natriuretic peptide(BNP),as well as safety indicators such as liver and kidney function and coagulation parameters in both groups.The peak values of myocardial necrosis markers of creatine kinase-MB(CK-MB)and troponin I(cTnI)and other myocardial enzyme profiles between the two groups were compared.After treatment,the TCM syndrome efficacy of improvement,the therapeutic effect on improving ST-segment resolution(STR)of electrocardiogram,and the incidence of adverse cardiovascular events in both groups were assessed.Results(1)There were 3 patients dropping out during the trial,with a final total of 89 cases included in the efficacy analysis(44 cases in the control group and 45 cases in the trial group).(2)After 4 weeks of treatment,the total effective rate in the trial group was 95.56%(43/45)and that in the control group was 79.55%(35/44).Intergroup comparison by chi-square test showed that TCM syndrome efficacy in the trial group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.05).(3)After 4 weeks of treatment,the total effective rate for improving STR in the trial group was 93.33%(42/45)and that in the control group was 75.00%(33/44).Intergroup comparison(tested by chi-square test)demonstrated that the trial group had significantly stronger STR improvement efficacy than the control group(P＜0.05).(4)After 4 weeks of treatment,the serum levels of CRP and BNP in both groups were lower than those immediately after surgery(P＜0.05),and the trial group exhibited significantly greater reductions in both CRP and BNP levels than the control group(P＜0.01).(5)The peak values of myocardial necrosis markers of CK-MB and cTnI in the trial group were significantly lower than those in the control group,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).(6)After 4 weeks of treatment,the trial group showed significant improvements in LVEF and CO compared to immediate postoperative values(P＜0.05),while LVEDD demonstrated an improving trend without statistical significance(P＞0.05).The control group showed no significant improvements in LVEF,CO,or LVEDD(P＞0.05).The intergroup comparison revealed that the trial group had significantly better improvements in LVEF and CO than the control group(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).(7)After 4 weeks of treatment,both groups showed reductions in the scores of chest pain,chest tightness,palpitations,emotional depression,hypochondriac distension,and dull complexion,as well as the total syndrome scores when compared to pretreatment values(P＜0.05),and the trial group presented significantly greater reductions than the control group(P＜0.05).(8)No statistically significant differences were shown in the parameters of liver/kidney function or coagulation between the two groups before and after treatment(P＞0.05).(9)The incidence of postoperative adverse cardiovascular events in the control group was 13.64%(6/44)and that in the trial group was 6.67%(3/45),and the intergroup comparison(tested by Fisher's exact test)showed no statistically significant difference(P＞0.05).Conclusion The combination therapy of Compound Danshen Dripping Pills and Tirofiban demonstrates significant efficacy in improving TCM syndromes,ST-segment elevation,myocardial necrosis markers,and cardiac function in STEMI patients after PCI,with good safety.
