Living systematic review (LSR) is a systematic review methodology that incorporates regular updates to integrate new evidence, aiming to rapidly reflect the latest research findings. Although LSRs are increasingly adopted in clinical fields, their reporting quality remains inconsistent and lack of standardized guidelines. To standardize LSR reporting, the PRISMA 2020 statement has released an extension checklist (PRISMA-LSR). This paper describes the background of PRISMA-LSR release and main revisions, and interprets it with examples, with the goal of guiding future LSR research and enhancing reporting quality.

Objective To investigate an automated pretreatment technology for detecting levels of free silica in workplace dust. Methods An fully automated pretreatment workstation for detecting free silica levels in workplace dust was developed by integrating graphite-controlled digestion temperature, online-controlled dilution of digestion solutions, and filtration endpoint recognition based on monitoring technology, combined with multi-channel synchronous measurements. Results The fully automatic pretreatment workstation was used to digest and filter 14 standard samples of free silica produced by three institutions, and then detected by pyrophosphate method. The result range of high-, medium-, and low-level free silica standard samples detection was 66.5%-84.8%, 40.0%-44.5%, and 2.1%-24.8%, respectively. The mean relative standard deviations were 3.9%, 1.4% and 1.5%. Conclusion The fully automated pretreatment workstation produced results that met relevant requirements. It can effectively replace the manual digestion and filtration steps of the pyrophosphate method to measure free silica levels in workplace dust and enable rapid detection of free silica in dust samples.

Objective To explore the predictive value of immune inflammation combined with liver function hematological indicators for the metastasis of colorectal cancer.Methods A retrospective analysis of clinical data of 133 patients with colorectal cancer was conducted.The patients were divided into three groups based on disease progression after 24 months of postoperative follow-up:non-metastasis group(n=38),liver metastasis group(n=43),and non-liver distant metastasis group(n=52).The immune inflammatory markers and liver function hematological indicators of progression-free survival were analyzed.Nomogram prediction models were constructed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses to identify risk factors for metastasis of colorectal cancer.The accuracy of the nomogram was validated using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve and calibration curve,and the clinical predictive efficacy was evaluated through decision curve and clinical impact curve.Results Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that pan-immune-inflammatory value(PIV),prognostic nutritional index(PNI),and bile acid(BA)were independent predictors of colorectal cancer metastasis.The area under the ROC curve of the combined prediction of metastasis was 0.84;neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio(NLR)and BA were independent predictors of liver metastasis from colorectal cancer.The area under the ROC curve of the combined prediction of liver metastasis was 0.83;PIV and PNI were independent predictive factors for the occurrence of non-liver distant metastasis from colorectal cancer.The area under the ROC curve for the combined prediction of non-liver distant metastasis was 0.83.The calibration curve,decision curve,and clinical impact curve showed that the three models had good accuracy and net benefit value.Conclusion The nomogram constructed based on immune inflammation and liver function hematological indicators can predict the metastasis of patients with colorectal cancer and has high predictive efficacy and clinical application prospects.

Objective To explore the relationship between androgen level and adverse pregnancy outcome of pregnant women at advanced maternal age.Methods A total of 192 pregnant women who were admitted to Changzhou Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital for delivery from May to October 2022 were selected as the study objects.According to guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy and maternal age,the study objects were divided into simple pregnant women at advanced maternal age group,pregnant women at advanced maternal age complicated with hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy,healthy control group and age-appropriate pregnant women complicated with hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy group.Serum levels of five androgens[total testosterone(TT),sex hormone binding globulin(SHBG),free testosterone index(FTI),dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate(DHEAS)and androstendi-one(A2)]in each group were detected by chemiluminescence method.Results Compared with the healthy control group,TT,A2,FTI were significantly increased and SHBG was significantly decreased in the age-ap-propriate pregnant women complicated with hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy group,the level of DHEAS was decreased in the simple pregnant women at advanced maternal age group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that TT was negatively correla-ted with age(P＜0.05),positively correlated with systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure and body mass index(P＜0.05),and had no correlation with offspring sex and offspring weight(P＞0.05).Multivari-ate Logistic regression analysis showed that TT and body mass index were independent risk factors for hyper-tensive disorder complicating pregnancy in pregnant women(P＜0.05).Conclusion The level of androgen in pregnant women at advanced maternal age is related to the occurrence of hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the molecular mechanism underlying the inhibitory effect of aloin on the proliferation and migration of gastric cancer cells. METHODS: Human gastric cancer MGC-803 cells treated with 100, 200 and 300 μg/mL aloin were examined for changes in cell viability, proliferation and migration abilities using CCK-8, EdU and Transwell assays. HMGB1 mRNA level in the cells was detected with RT-qPCR, and the protein expressions of HMGB1, cyclin B1, cyclin E1, E-cadherin, MMP-2, MMP-9 and p-STAT3 were determined using Western blotting. JASPAR database was used to predict the binding of STAT3 to HMGB1 promoter. In a BALB/c-Nu mouse model bearing subcutaneous MGC-803 cell xenograft, the effect of intraperitoneal injection of aloin (50 mg/kg) on tumor growth was observed. The protein expressions of HMGB1, cyclin B1, cyclin E1, E-cadherin, MMP-2, MMP-9 and p-STAT3 in the tumor tissue was examined using Western blotting, and tumor metastasis in the liver and lung tissues was detected using HE staining. RESULTS: Treatment with aloin concentration-dependently inhibited the viability of MGC-803 cells (P < 0.05), significantly reduced the number of EdU-positive cells (P < 0.01), and attenuated the migration ability of the cells (P < 0.01). Aloin treatment dose-dependently down-regulated HMGB1 mRNA expression (P < 0.01), lowered the protein expressions of HMGB1, cyclin B1, cyclin E1, MMP-2, MMP-9 and p-STAT3, and up-regulated E-cadherin expression in MGC-803 cells. Prediction based on JASPAR database suggested that STAT3 could bind to the promoter region of HMGB1. In the tumor-bearing mice, aloin treatment significantly reduced the tumor size and weight (P < 0.01), lowered the protein expressions of cyclin B1, cyclin E1, MMP-2, MMP-9, HMGB1 and p-STAT3 and increased the expression of E-cadherin in the tumor tissue (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION Aloin attenuates the proliferation and migration of gastric cancer cells by inhibiting the STAT3/HMGB1 signaling pathway.

Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Comparison of ordinal data between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. The univariate analysis was conducted using the corresponding statistical methods based on data type, and variables with P<0.10 were included in multivariate analysis. Multivariate analysis was conducted using the Logistic stepwise regression model. Results:(1) Situations of TOLS. All 530 patients underwent radical resection of gallbladder carcinoma, and there were 498 cases achieving R 0 resection, 508 cases without ≥grade 2 intra-operative adverse events, 456 cases without postoperative grade B and grade C biliary leakage, 513 cases without postoperative grade B and grade C liver failure, 395 cases without severe com-plications within postoperative 90 days, 501 cases did not being re-admission caused by severe com-plications within postoperative 90 days. Of the 530 patients, 54.53%(289/530) of patients achieved postoperative TOLS, while 45.47%(241/530) of patients did not achieve postoperative TOLS. (2) Influencing factors of TOLS. Results of multivariate analysis showed that American Society of Anesthesiologists classification >grade Ⅱ, preoperative jaundice, T staging as T3?T4 stage, N staging as N2 stage, liver resection as right hemi-hepatectomy, and neoadjuvant therapy were independent factors influencing TOLS in patients undergoing radical resection of gallbladder carcinoma ( odds ratio=2.65, 1.87, 5.67, 5.65, 2.55, 3.34, 95% confidence interval as 1.22?5.72, 1.18?2.95, 2.51?12.82, 2.83?11.27, 1.41?4.63, 1.88?5.92, P<0.05). Conclusion:American Society of Anesthesiologists classification >grade Ⅱ, preoperative jaundice, T staging as T3?T4 stage, N staging as N2 stage, liver resection as right hemi-hepatectomy, and neoadjuvant therapy are independent factors influencing TOLS in patients undergoing radical resection of gallbladder carcinoma.

Objective:To investigate the effects of different chemotherapy dose intensity on the short-term efficacy and adverse reactions of patients with advanced colon cancer.Methods:A real-world database of patients with advanced colon cancer in Wangjing Hospital of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences and China-Japan Friendship Hospital from January 2017 to December 2020 was established, including 105 patients treated with the same chemotherapy regimen for two consecutive cycles. The patients were grouped according to the average relative dose intensity (ARDI) of chemotherapy, and the population differences, treatment regimens, short-term efficacy and adverse reactions of different chemotherapy dose intensities were evaluated. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive value of ARDI for short-term efficacy.Results:There were 31 patients in the high dose intensity group (ARDI≥80%) , 34 patients in the medium dose intensity group (80%0.05) . ROC curve analysis found that the area under the curve predicting objective response was 0.70, the sensitivity was 92.30%, and the specificity was 52.10% when the chemotherapy ARDI threshold was 64%. Conclusion:In the real world, colon cancer patients receiving high dose intensive chemotherapy have better objective response rate, and tumor markers decreased significantly. The baseline status of colon cancer patients receiving low dose intensive chemotherapy is poor, but there is no statistically significant difference in disease control rate between patients receiving low dose intensive chemotherapy and patients receiving high dose intensive chemotherapy, and the adverse reactions are controllable.

【Objective】 To study the effect of air inlet modes on the temperature variation, fluctuation, uniformity and coefficient of variation(CV), so as to evaluate the stability and uniformity of the temperature field in refrigerated warehouse for blood. 【Methods】 The temperature changes of blood refrigerated warehouse under different modes of air inlet during compressor operation were analyzed. The stability of the temperature field in the storehouse was evaluated by the changes, fluctuation, uniformity, CV and deviation of temperature at each testing point. 【Results】 The average value of temperature in the storehouse, adopting air inlet via straight blow, was (4.98±0.92)℃, while that of air inlet via micro-hole mode was(4.15±0.25)℃, with significant differences between each other(P<0.05). As to the CV of temperature, air inlet via straight blow was significantly different from that via micro hole(P<0.01). The fluctuation, uniformity and deviation of temperature created by straight blow and micro hole were 1.85±1.11 vs 0.49±0.38, 1.00±0.68 vs 0.47±0.37, and 0.61±0.45 vs 0.27±0.21, respectively, with significant differences between each other(P<0.01). 【Conclusion】 Compared with straight blow, the mean temperature created by micro hole was closer to the median value (4℃) of the temperature range, i. e.(4±2)℃, during blood storage. Otherwise, micro hole demonstrated a smaller CV of temperature, and superior performance in fluctuation, uniformity and deviation of the temperature at the testing points, which was conducive to ensure the stability of storehouse temperature field.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in patients with tibial plateau fracture during preoperative period.Methods:From July 2017 to October 2019, a total of 264 patients undergoing surgeries of tibial plateau fractures were enrolled. Duplex ultrasonography (DUS) during hospitalization was used to screen for DVT of the bilateral lower extremities. Patients were divided into DVT group and non-DVT group according to results of DUS. Data on demographics, comorbidities, injury-related data, fracture type, laboratory biomarkers were collected and compared between groups with and without DVT.Results:The incidence of preoperative DVT was 39.0% (103/264) among 264 patients with traumatic tibial plateau fractures, and distal thrombosis predominated in DVT group. There were 103 cases in DVT group. 55 were males and 48 were females. The average age was 54.00±11.12. According to the Schatzker classification of tibial plateau fractures, 7 cases belonged to type I, 37 to type II, 2 to type III, 11 to type IV, 29 to type V, and 17 to type VI. There were 161 cases in non-DVT group. 89 were males and 72 were females. The average age was 48.57±13.25. According to the Schatzker classification of tibial plateau fractures, 23 cases belonged to type I, 76 to type II, 2 to type III, 10 to type IV, 33 to type V, and 17 to type VI. Univariate analysis showed that age ( t=3.451, P=0.001), the type of tibial plateau fracture ( χ2=8.314, P=0.004), D-dimer ( χ2=18.552, P<0.001), APTT ( t=2.869, P=0.004), ALB ( t=2.292, P=0.023) and Hb ( t=1.983, P=0.048) were statistically different than those in non-DVT group. Multivariate analysis showed age ( OR=1.033, 95% CI: 1.009, 1.058; P=0.007), the type of tibial plateau fracture ( OR=1.829, 95% CI: 1.014, 3.299; P=0.045) and D-dimer ( OR=1.914, 95% CI: 1.057, 3.464; P=0.032) were independent risk factors. Conclusion:The incidence of DVT in patients with tibial plateau fractures during preoperative period is high, and distal thrombosis is the main part of venous thrombosis of lower extremity. The type of tibial plateau fracture, age and the level of D-dimer are independent risk factors of preoperative DVT in patients with tibial plateau fractures.
