ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Tianma Goutengyin on the tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 （STAT3）/α1-antichymotrypsin C-terminal tail fragment （α1ACT） signaling pathway and A1-type astrocytes in a rat model of vascular dementia. MethodsSeventy-two male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into six groups （n=12 per group）： Sham-operated group， model group， Tianma Goutengyin high-， medium-， and low-dose groups （5.13， 10.26， and 20.52 g·kg^-1）， and a nimodipine group （8.1 mg·kg^-1）. The vascular dementia model was established by permanent bilateral common carotid artery occlusion， followed by 4 weeks of intervention. Learning and memory ability were evaluated using the novel object recognition test， and behavioral performance was assessed using the forced swimming test. Levels of interleukin-6 （IL-6） and C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 （CCL2） in hippocampal tissue were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Hippocampal neuronal morphology was observed by Nissl staining， and apoptosis was detected by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling （TUNEL）. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect positive expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor （BDNF）， glial fibrillary acidic protein （GFAP）， and myelin basic protein （MBP）. Western blot analysis was performed to measure the protein expression levels of TNF-α， TNF receptor 1 （TNFR1）， phosphorylated STAT3 （p-STAT3）， α1ACT， IL-6， complement component 3 （C3）， BDNF， S100 calcium-binding protein A10 （S100A10）， and GFAP in hippocampal tissue. ResultsCompared with the sham-operated group， the model group showed a significantly reduced relative recognition index in the novel object recognition test （P<0.01）， prolonged immobility time and increased immobility frequency in the forced swimming test （P<0.01）. Hippocampal IL-6 and CCL2 levels were significantly increased （P<0.01）. Nissl staining revealed a marked reduction in neuronal number and loss of Nissl bodies （P<0.01）. MBP-positive expression was significantly decreased （P<0.01）， apoptosis was significantly increased （P<0.01）， BDNF-positive expression was significantly reduced （P<0.05）， and GFAP-positive expression was significantly increased （P<0.01）. In addition， the protein expression levels of TNF-α， TNFR1， p-STAT3， α1ACT， IL-6， and C3 were significantly elevated （P<0.01）， while BDNF and S100A10 expression levels were significantly decreased （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， all Tianma Gouteng yin dose groups exhibited a significant increase in the relative recognition index （P<0.05）， shortened immobility time and reduced immobility frequency （P<0.05， P<0.01）. IL-6 and CCL2 levels were significantly decreased （P<0.01）， neuronal number was significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and MBP-positive expression was significantly enhanced （P<0.01）. Apoptosis was significantly reduced （P<0.01）， BDNF-positive expression was significantly increased （P<0.05）， and GFAP-positive expression was significantly decreased （P<0.01）. Moreover， the protein expression levels of TNF-α， TNFR1， p-STAT3， α1ACT， IL-6， and C3 were significantly decreased （P<0.01）， while BDNF and S100A10 protein expression levels were significantly increased （P<0.01）. ConclusionTianma Goutengyin may inhibit A1-type astrocyte activation in rats with vascular dementia through the TNF-α/STAT3/α1ACT signaling pathway， thereby reducing neuronal apoptosis and improving learning and memory function.

Objective To explore the influencing factors of medication errors （ME） in the intravenous admixture service center of a tertiary hospital in Xi’an and construct a prediction model. Methods A retrospective cohort study design was adopted, with 200 cases of ME recorded in the hospital’s intravenous dispensing center from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2024, as the ME group. 400 cases of routine medication records without ME were randomly selected as the ME group. Baseline data from two groups were collected and compared, the influencing factors of ME in the hospital’s static fitting center were analyzed, and a decision tree mode was constructed. Results There was a statistically significant difference （P<0.05） in incomplete medical order information, high-risk drugs, preparation time, and pharmacist training frequency between the ME group and the non ME group. However, there was no statistically significant difference （P>0.05） in other data between the groups; Through logistics regression analysis, it was found that incomplete medical order information, high-risk drugs, preparation time, and pharmacist training frequency were all influencing factors for ME occurrence in hospital intravenous dispensing centers （OR>1, P<0.05）; The constructed decision tree model selected a total of four explanatory variables, among which the configuration time was the important root node variable. The AUC of the decision tree model was 0.808 （95% CI: 0.774−0.842）, the sensitivity was 0.840, the specificity was 0.635, and the Youden index was 0.475. Conclusion The occurrence of ME in the hospital's static dispensing center from 2023 to 2024 was related to incomplete medical order information, high-risk drugs, preparation time, and pharmacist training frequency. The decision tree model constructed based on the above indicators had certain predictive value for ME in the static dispensing center.

Objective To establish the reference intervals of serum β-human chorionic gonadotropin(β-HCG)in adult non-pregnant women in Shanghai,and to explore its relationship with age.Methods A total of 854 non-pregnant women in the hospital from March 2021 to December 2023 were selected as the research ob-jects,and 800 women who met the criteria were finally included.All serum β-HCG levels were detected by magnetic particle enzyme immunoassay.The results of serum β-HCG in different age groups were statistically analyzed,and the reference intervals of each age group was calculated by one-sided 95%reference interval method.Results The distribution of serum β-HCG in non-pregnant women was not normal.Spearman corre-lation analysis showed that the median level of β-HCG was correlated with age(correlation coefficient was 0.859,P<0.05).The reference intervals established by percentile method were 0.00-3.03 mIU/mL 18-<41 years old.41-55 years old 0.00-4.61 mIU/mL,>55 years old 0.00-6.80 mIU/mL,respectively,the difference of serum β-HCG level between different age groups was statistically significant(P<0.05).Accord-ing to the literature review,the reference intervals of serum β-HCG in different laboratories were different.In this study,the appropriate reference intervals were established and verified according to the actual situation.Conclusion The reference intervals of serum β-HCG in adult non-pregnant women should be established ac-cording to their age,so as to provide scientific basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To explore the impact of enteral nutrition formula containing slow-release starch on blood glucose variability and prognosis in patients with severe acute pancreatitis(SAP).Methods A total of 204 SAP patients were enrolled and randomly divided into control group and ob-servation group using a random number table method,with 102 patients in each group.The control group received early enteral nutrition support with a standard enteral nutrition formula,while the ob-servation group received early enteral nutrition support with an enteral nutrition formula containing slow-release starch.Blood glucose variability indicators[largest amplitude of glycemic excursions(LAGE),standard deviation of blood glucose(SDBG),blood glucose coefficient of variation(BGCV),mean blood glucose(MBG),mean amplitude of glycemic excursions(MAGE),and time in range(TIR)]were compared between the two groups after treatment,along with clinical indicators during hospitalization,inflammatory markers[procalcitonin,C-reactive protein,interleukin-6(IL-6),and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)],and nutritional indicators(albumin,prealbumin)levels.Kaplan-Meier analysis was conducted to assess the prognosis of the two groups,and multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed to identify factors influencing prognosis.Results After treat-ment,the observation group exhibited lower levels of MBG,LAGE,SDBG,BGCV,MAGE,and a higher TIR compared with the control group(P＜0.05).During hospitalization,the observation group had a shorter duration of enteral nutritiontherapy,lower insulin usage,and lower incidence rates of multiple organ failure and infectious pancreatic necrosis compared with the control group(P＜0.05).After treatment,the observation group had lower levels of procalcitonin,C-reactive protein,IL-6,and TNF-α compared with the control group(P＜0.05);however,there were no statistically significant differences in albumin and prealbumin levels between the two groups(P＞0.05).Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the cumulative mortality rate in the observation group was 12.75％,which was lower than the 17.65％in the control group(Log-rank x2=4.361,P=0.037).Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that TIR after treatment(HR=0.920;95％CI,0.869 to 0.974)was an independent protective factor for prognosis in SAPpatients(P＜0.05),while infectious pancreatic necrosis(HR=4.269;95％CI,1.922 to 9.482)was an inde-pendent risk factor for prognosis in SAP patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion Enteral nutrition formu-la containing slow-release starch helps stabilize blood glucose variability,control inflammatory mark-er levels,improve nutritional status,and prognosis in SAP patients.Both TIR and infectious pancre-atic necrosis are closely related to the prognosis of SAP patients.

Objective To investigate relationship between the level of support needs and post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD)among fathers of preterm infants in neonatal intensivecare unit(NICU).Methods A total of 209 fathers of preterm infants admitted to NICU were selected as survey subjects.The basic information questionnaire for preterm infants,the basic information questionnaire for fathers,the NICU Newborn Father Support Scale,and the civilian version of the Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist were used to survey their conditions.Results The score of support needs among fathers of preterm infants was(88.69±11.04).Gestational age,cesarean section,length of stay in the NICU,father's educational level,monthly per-capita family income,and spouse's health status were all significant influencing factors of father's support needs(P＜0.05).The score of PTSD among fathers of preterm infants was(32.27±5.96).Gestational age,birth weight,birth way,fa-ther's age,whether the father had received prenatal health education,and support needs were all in-fluencing factors of PTSD occurrence among fathers of preterm infants(P＜0.05).There was a sig-nificant negative correlation between father's support needs and PTSD.Conclusion The level of support needs among fathers of preterm infants in the NICU is negatively correlated with PTSD.Medi-cal staff should pay attention to the level of support needs among fathers of preterm infants to reduce the occurrence of their PTSD.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the impact of age on the genetic variant spectrum and prognosis of patients with previously untreated Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data and follow-up information of 254 previously untreated DLBCL patients from 14 hospitals in the Jiangsu Cooperative Lymphoma Group (JCLG) enrolled from July 2018 and July 2023. Following extraction of DNA from tumor tissue samples, next-generation sequencing (NGS) technique was employed to analyze the genetic variant spectrum of the DLBCL patients, with an evaluation of the relationship between age and genetic variants as well as prognosis. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University (Ethics No.: 2023-K048-01). RESULTS: The median age of the 254 DLBCL patients was 62 years old, with 55% of patients aged 60 years or above. Clinical evaluation showed that younger (< 60 years) patients had higher complete response (CR) (70% vs. 59%), and objective response rate (ORR) (88% vs. 79%) than older patients, though the difference between the two groups was not statistically. Survival analysis indicated that both the five-year overall survival (OS) (82.7% vs. 71.7%, P = 0.006) and progression-free survival (PFS) (70.6% vs. 50.2%, P < 0.05) rates were significantly higher in younger patients. NGS showed that 99.6% of the patients harbored genetic variants, with PIM1, KMT2D, TP53, MYD88, and CD79B being the most common genes. Age significantly affected the variant frequency of certain genes, with MYC variants serving an adverse prognostic factor for OS in younger patients (P = 0.002), while TP53 (P = 0.024) and BCL2 (P = 0.002) variants significantly impacted OS in older patients. Prognostic analysis identified age ≥ 60 years (HR = 3.439, 95%CI: 1.318~9.874), presence of B symptoms (HR = 2.871, 95%CI = 1.133~7.307), and elevated lactate dehydrogenase (HR = 3.528, 95%CI = 1.231~10.66) as independent adverse prognostic factors. CONCLUSION Age, genetic variants, and clinical factors may significantly affect the prognosis of the DLBCL patients. Younger patients have better survival compared to older patients. Variants of the MYC, BCL2, and TP53 genes are closely associated with poor prognosis.

Objective:To construct a multidisciplinary collaborative intelligent prevention and treatment system for orthopedic thrombophilia based on advanced intelligent analysis technology and to evaluate its application effectiveness in the management of orthopedic thrombophilia.Methods:Established a clinical multidisciplinary medical team guided by early warning management and human-computer interaction theory, and builded a multidisciplinary collaborative intelligent prevention and treatment system for orthopedic thrombophilia based on intelligent analysis technology.Adopting a prospective pre-and post control study method, 674 orthopedic inpatients at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from February 2021 to October 2022 were selected as study participants by convenient sampling method and divided into a control group (308 cases) and an observation group (366 cases) according to their admission periods. The control group underwent conventional management methods for thrombophilia. In contrast, the observation group utilized a multidisciplinary collaborative intelligent prevention and treatment system for orthopedic thrombophilia for intelligent management methods. The two groups were compared regarding risk assessment rates, assessment accuracy, assessment efficiency, dynamic assessment completion rate, knowledge awareness rates, implementation rates of multidisciplinary collaborative preventive measures, and thrombophilia incidence rates.Results:The multidisciplinary collaborative intelligent prevention and treatment system for orthopedic thrombophilia mainly included four personnel ports (doctor end, nurse end, patient or caregiver end, medical quality control end) and eight modules (patient intelligent scoring, risk grading warning, dynamic evaluation of prevention contraindications, prevention measure decision-making, health education, inpatient data monitoring, department indicator statistics, medical management). Both groups of patients completed the study. There were 238 males and 70 females in the control group, aged (42.83 ± 8.69) years old. There were 278 males and 88 females in the observation group, aged (42.35 ± 8.13) years old. The risk assessment rate, assessment accuracy rate, and dynamic assessment completion rate of the observation group for thrombophilia were 100.00% (366/366), 98.90% (362/366), and 100.00% (366/366), respectively, all higher than the control group's 94.15% (290/308), 90.58% (279/308), and 91.55% (282/308), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=21.99, 24.88, 32.16, all P<0.01). The knowledge awareness rate of preventing thrombophilia among high-risk patients in the observation group was 95.90% (211/220), the implementation rates of basic prevention, physical prevention, drug prevention, and combined prevention in the multidisciplinary collaborative prevention measures were 87.37% (173/198), 97.72% (215/220), 39.09% (86/220), 46.37% (102/220), and 27.73% (61/220), respectively, all higher than the control group's 85.86% (170/198), 24.74% (49/198), 30.81% (61/198), and 12.12% (24/198), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2 values were 9.81-20.19, all P<0.05). The risk assessment time for the observation group was (3.95 ± 1.03) minutes, and the incidence of thrombophilia was 1.91% (7/366), both lower than the control group's (9.56 ± 1.65) minutes and 7.47% (23/308), with statistically significant differences ( t=53.78, χ2=6.33, both P<0.05). Conclusions:The application of the multidisciplinary collaborative intelligent prevention and treatment system for orthopedic thrombophilia has improved the implementation rate of prevention and treatment interventions by medical staff, increased job satisfaction, and also enhanced the awareness rate of prevention knowledge among patients, thereby improving the management status of thrombophilia in orthopedic inpatients.

Objective:To investigate the effect of mild moxibustion on transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1(TRPV1)channel expression in primary dysmenorrhea(PD)rats and explore its mechanism in alleviating central pain sensitization.Methods:Thirty-two female non-pregnant Wistar rats were randomized into a blank group,a model group,a mild moxibustion group,and a capsazepine group,with 8 rats in each group.Except for the blank group,the other three groups used estradiol benzoate,ice-water bath,and oxytocin to establish the rat PD model of cold-dampness stagnation pattern.The interventions began on day 1 of modeling,once a day,and lasted 10 d.The mild moxibustion group received mild moxibustion at Shenque(CV8)and Guanyuan(CV4),20 min/time;in the capsazepine group,capsazepine was injected at a dose of 2 mg/(kg·bw).The abdominal pain threshold was measured 10-30 min after oxytocin injection on day 11;enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect serum prostaglandin F2α(PGF2α)level;the expression of TRPV1,cluster of differentiation 11B(CD11B),and proto-oncogene c-Fos in the spinal dorsal horn and hypothalamus was detected by immunofluorescence and Western blotting.Results:Compared to the blank group,the model group showed a decreased pain threshold(P<0.05)and an increased serum PGF2α level with elevated TRPV1,CD11B,and c-Fos protein expression in the spinal dorsal horn and hypothalamus(P<0.05).Compared to the model group,both the mild moxibustion group and capsazepine group showed significantly increased pain thresholds(P<0.05),along with decreased serum PGF2α levels and reduced protein expression levels of TRPV1,CD11B,and c-Fos in the spinal dorsal horn and hypothalamus(P<0.05).Rat pain threshold in the capsazepine group was higher than that in the mild moxibustion group(P<0.05).Serum PGF2α level,the expression levels of CD11B and c-Fos proteins in the spinal dorsal horn,as well as TRPV1,CD11B,and c-Fos proteins in the hypothalamus of the capsazepine group were lower than those in the mild moxibustion group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Mild moxibustion at Shenque(CV8)and Guanyuan(CV4)may alleviate the central pain sensitization in PD rats by down-regulating TRPV1 channel expression in the spinal dorsal horn and hypothalamus,thus playing an analgesic effect.

Background and purpose:Human papilloma virus(HPV)infection status is crucial for diagnosing cervical precancerous lesions and classifying cervical cancer.High-risk(HR)HPV is often linked to P16 protein overexpression,so P16 detection via immunohistochemistry(IHC)is commonly used to assess HPV infection.However,the differences between HPV status and P16 expression remains unclear.An in-depth study of the correlation between HPV and P16 is essential for clinical guidance.Methods:We retrospectively collected clinical and pathological data of cervical lesions from 618 patients diagnosed at the Department of Pathology,Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center from January 2020 to December 2023(Ethical number:050432-4-2307E).Polymerase chain reaction(PCR)reverse dot hybridization was used to detect HPV including HR and low-risk(LR)subtypes,and immunohistochemistry was used to detect P16 for comparative analysis.Based on different clinical and pathological diagnoses,the sensitivity and specificity of P16 expression in evaluating HPV infection were evaluated.Among the 618 cases of cervical lesions,there were 92 cases of cervical squamous cell carcinoma,257 cases of cervical adenocarcinoma,79 cases of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions(HSIL),105 cases of low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions(LSIL),and 85 cases of chronic cervical inflammation.Results:According to clinical diagnosis,the HR-HPV positive rate in cervical squamous cell carcinoma was 88.0%(81/92),the P16 positive rate was 91.3%(84/92),and the overall consistency rate between P16 and HPV detection was 90.2%(88/92);for HR-HPV infection,the sensitivity and specificity of P16 were 96.3%and 45.5%.The positive rate of HR-HPV in adenocarcinoma was 54.5%(140/257),the positive rate of P16 was 58.8%(151/257),and the overall consistency rate between P16 and HPV detection was 82.5%(212/257);for HR-HPV infection,the sensitivity and specificity of P16 were 87.9%and 76.1%.In HSIL,the HR-HPV positive rate was 75.9%(60/79),the positive rate of P16 was 70.9%(56/79),and the overall consistency rate between P16 and HR-HPV detection was 82.2%(65/79);for HR-HPV infection,the sensitivity and specificity of P16 were 85.0%and 73.7%.In LSIL,the HR-HPV positive rate was 73.3%(77/105),the positive rate of P16 was 8.5%(9/105),and the overall consistency rate between P16 and HR-HPV detection was 33.3%(35/105);for HR-HPV infection,the sensitivity and specificity of P16 were 10.4%and 96.4%.In chronic cervical inflammation,the HR-HPV positive rate was 20%(17/85),the positive rate of P16 was 0.0%(0/85);for HR-HPV infection,the sensitivity and specificity of P16 were 0.0%and 100.0%.There was a significant positive correlation between P16 positivity and HPV16/18 in cervical squamous cell carcinoma,adenocarcinoma,and HSIL(P=0.000),while there was no significant correlation in LSIL and chronic cervical inflammation(P＞0.05).Conclusion:In cervical squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma,the consistency of P16 expression and HPV DNA positivity are high,especially in HPV16/18 subtype.There is a good concordance between HR-HPV positivity and P16 protein overexpression.The positive expression of P16 in HSIL may initially reflect HPV infection status.However,in LSIL and chronic cervicitis,P16 expression may not accurately correlate with HPV infection.The inconsistency between P16 and HPV DNA testing could be influenced by multiple factors,including HPV subtypes,histopathological categories,specimen quality,and technical limitations.In clinical practice,it is recommended to conduct comprehensive analysis or employ multiple diagnostic methods to confirm HPV infection status for precise evaluation.
