OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical features and prognosis of central nervous system (CNS) invasion in peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) and construct a risk prediction model for CNS invasion. METHODS: Clinical data of 395 patients with PTCL diagnosed and treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from 1st January 2013 to 31st December 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: The median follow-up time of 395 PTCL patients was 24(1-143) months. There were 13 patients diagnosed CNS invasion, and the incidence was 3.3%. The risk of CNS invasion varied according to pathological subtype. The incidence of CNS invasion in patients with anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) was significantly higher than in patients with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) (P <0.05). The median overall survival was significantly shorter in patients with CNS invasion than in those without CNS involvement, with a median survival time of 2.4(0.6-127) months after diagnosis of CNS invasion. The results of univariate and multivariate analysis showed that more than 1 extranodal involvement (HR=4.486, 95%CI : 1.166-17.264, P =0.029), ALCL subtype (HR=9.022, 95%CI : 2.289-35.557, P =0.002) and ECOG PS >1 (HR=15.890, 95%CI : 4.409-57.262, P <0.001) were independent risk factors for CNS invasion in PTCL patients. Each of these risk factors was assigned a value of 1 point and a new prediction model was constructed. It could stratify the patients into three distinct groups: low-risk group (0-1 point), intermediate-risk group (2 points) and high-risk group (3 points). The 1-year cumulative incidence of CNS invasion in the high-risk group was as high as 50.0%. Further evaluation of the model showed good discrimination and accuracy, and the consistency index was 0.913 (95%CI : 0.843-0.984). CONCLUSION The new model shows a precise risk assessment for CNS invasion prediction, while its specificity and sensitivity need further data validation.

BACKGROUND: The association of systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) with prognosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) patients has never been investigated in a large sample with long-term follow-up. This study aimed to explore the association of SIRI with all-cause and cause-specific mortality in a nationally representative sample of CAD patients from United States. METHODS: A total of 3386 participants with CAD from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2018 were included in this study. Cox proportional hazards model, restricted cubic spline (RCS), and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) were performed to investigate the association of SIRI with all-cause and cause-specific mortality. Piece-wise linear regression and sensitivity analyses were also performed. RESULTS: During a median follow-up of 7.7 years, 1454 all-cause mortality occurred. After adjusting for confounding factors, higher lnSIRI was significantly associated with higher risk of all-cause (HR = 1.16, 95% CI: 1.09-1.23) and CVD mortality (HR = 1.17, 95% CI: 1.05-1.30) but not cancer mortality (HR = 1.17, 95% CI: 0.99-1.38). The associations of SIRI with all-cause and CVD mortality were detected as J-shaped with threshold values of 1.05935 and 1.122946 for SIRI, respectively. ROC curves showed that lnSIRI had robust predictive effect both in short and long terms. CONCLUSIONS SIRI was independently associated with all-cause and CVD mortality, and the dose-response relationship was J-shaped. SIRI might serve as a valid predictor for all-cause and CVD mortality both in the short and long terms.

Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of knee osteoarthritis(KOA)among military personnel in plateau regions and to explore its risk factors.Methods From July 2023 to July 2024,a multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method was employed to survey the prevalence of KOA and related risk factors among military personnel in the northwest plateau regions of China,covering different altitudes(1500-4500 m)and geographical areas(Gansu,Qinghai,Tibet,and Xinjiang).All study subjects were divided into KOA and non-KOA groups based on the presence or absence of KOA.Variables including age,gender,body mass index(BMI),education level,smoking status,military rank,military branch,service duration,regional altitude,annual average temperature,training duration,perceived training intensity,and history of knee injury were selected for univariate analyses between groups.Variables with P<0.05 in the univariate analyses were included in the binary multifactor logistic regression to identify risk factors for KOA.Results A total of 3000 questionnaires were distributed,and 2854 valid questionnaires were collected,with a response rate of 95.13%.The sample included 2584 males and 270 females,with 510 cases of KOA,resulting in a prevalence rate of 17.9%.Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences between KOA and non-KOA groups in terms of age,BMI,smoking status,military rank,military branch,service duration,regional altitude,annual average temperature,training duration,perceived training intensity,and history of knee injury(P<0.05).However,no significant differences were found in gender and education level(P>0.05).Binary multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that older age(OR=1.382,P=0.017),higher BMI(P<0.01),smoking(OR=1.929,P<0.01),higher military rank(OR=1.485,P=0.007),being a member of the Armed Police(P<0.01),longer service duration(P<0.01),higher regional altitude(OR=1.459,P<0.01),lower annual average temperature(OR=1.188,P=0.001),longer training duration(P<0.01),higher perceived training intensity(OR=2.450,P<0.01),and history of knee injury(OR=2.768,P=0.002)were independent risk factors for KOA.Conclusions Older age,overweight/obesity,smoking,higher military rank,being a member of the Armed Police,longer service duration,higher altitude,cold climate,longer training duration,higher training intensity,and history of knee injury are independent risk factors for KOA among military personnel in the northwest plateau regions of China.

Objective To understand the current status of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among operating room doctors,thereby analyzing its effect on mental health. Methods A total of 1013 doctors in the operating rooms of 30 hospitals in 24 provinces from September to December 2022 were selected by cross-sectional survey method. The domestic musculoskeletal disease questionnaire was used to investigate the occurrence of WMSDs in operating room doctors,the symptom check list-90 (SCL-90) was used to evaluate the psychological status of operating room doctors,the relationship between WMSDs related items and SCL-90 scores was analyzed,the correla-tion between the rest time of each shift and SCL-90 factors was analyzed by Pearson method,and the influencing factors of mental health of operating room doctors were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression.Results A total of 1100 questionnaires were distributed and 1013 valid questionnaires were recovered,with an effective rate of 92.10％. The incidence of WMSDs among operating room doctors in the past 1 year was 95.06％. The body parts with incidences of WMSDs from high to low were as follows:waist (36.92％),neck (35.54％),shoulder (33.56％),and upper back (32.77％). In the past 1 year,the SCL-90 scores and total scores of patients with musculoskeletal pain in various body parts,keeping the same back posture for a long time while work,bending the back at the same time of turning frequently while working,bowing the head for a long time while working,and bending the knee for a long time while working were significantly higher than those who were without the above conditions (P<0.05). Shorter rest time of each shift and longer periods of keeping the same back posture were the risk factors for the development of mental illness in operating room doctors. Conclusion The incidence of WMSDs in operating room doctors is high,which can influence the mental health of operating room doctors. Therefore,operating room doctors should avoid keeping the same back posture for a long time,bending the back at the same time of turning frequently,bowing the head for a long time,and bending the knee for a long time while working,and increase the rest time of each shift,in order to improve the mental condition of the operating room doctors.

Objective To investigate the occurrence and characteristics of Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody(ANCA)associated vasculitis induced by methimazole,and to provide references for clinical safe drug use.Methods Case reports of ANCA associated vasculitis induced by methimazole published in Wanfang,CNKI,PubMed,and Web of Science were searched from the inception to October 31 st,2023.Demographic characteristics,drug use,complications,treatment and outcome were analyzed using descriptive statistical method.Results A total of 14 patients from 14literature were included.There were 3 males and 11 females with ages ranging from 8 to 79 years,with a mean age of(47.79±23.47)years.Four patients developed symptoms within 1 year,nine patients developed symptoms from 2 to 12 years,and 1 patient developed symptoms 24 years after medication.ANCA associated vasculitis affected kidney in 5 patients,lung and skin in 5patients,vision in 2 patients and heart in 2 patients.All patients discontinued methimazole,2 patients improved spontaneously without treatment,1 patient improved after anti-infection,and all others received hormonal or immunosuppressive therapy.1 patient developed death,and all others improved or were cured after treatment.Conclusions ANCA-associated vasculitis is a rare adverse reactionof methimazole.Most patients have a long latency period before the onset of disease,mainly involving multiple organs such asskin,kidney,lung,and eyesight.Clinicians should pay attention to differentiate it from primary vasculitis and discontinue the drug as soon as possible.When serious organ damage occurs,glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants should be adminstered promptly to avoid aggravation of the disease and endangerment of life.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy,safety and cost-effectiveness of avatrombopag for treating primary immune thrombocytopenia(ITP)by rapid health technology assessment(rHTA),to provide evidence-based basis for clinical decision-making.Methods PubMed,Cochrane Library,Web of Science,Embase,CNKI,WanFang Data and the official website of health technology assessment(HTA)agency were electronically searched to collect systematic reviews/Meta-analyses,pharmacoeconomic literature,and HTA reports of avatrombopag for the treatment of ITP from inception to May 31,2025.Two reviewers independently screened studies,extracted data,assessed the quality of included studies,and qualitatively analyzed the result.Results A total of 12 studies were included,including 10 systematic reviews/Meta-analyses,1 pharmacoeconomic study and 1 HTA report.In terms of effectiveness,compared with placebo,treatment with avatrombopag significantly elevated platelet response,durable platelet response,early platelet response,and platelet count,reduction in use of concomitant ITP medication(P<0.05),and there was no significant difference in the need for remedial measures during the treatment period(P>0.05).Avatrombopag was also superior to eltrombopag,romiplostim,rituximab alone or in combination with recombinant human thrombopoietin(rhTPO)for platelet response(P<0.05).In terms of safety,there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse events,serious adverse events,bleeding events and thrombotic events when comparing avatrombopag to placebo,eltrombopag,romiplostim and rituximab for the treatment of ITP(P>0.05).Economic study showed that avatrombopag has an economic advantage compared to eltrombopag and romiplostim,but it does not have economic advantages compared with observation and rescue.Conclusion Compared with placebo or other second-line treatments for ITP,avatrombopag has good efficacy and no significant differences in safety.Regarding economics,avatrombopag demonstrates greater cost-effectiveness than eltrombopag and romiplostim.However,due to its higher price,it does not have economic advantages compared to observation and rescue.Future economic research should be conducted domestically.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of psychological resilience between family function and post-traumatic growth in young and middle-aged stroke patients,and to provide a theoretical basis for formulating targeted intervention strategies.Methods:This study was a prospective study,a total of 80 young and middle-aged stroke patients admitted in our hospital from February 2023 to August 2024 were selected by the convenient sampling method.The general information of the patients was collected by using a self-made questionnaire,the Connor-Davidson resilience scale(CD-RISC),family care index questionnaire(APGAR)and post-traumatic growth inventory(PTGI)were used to measure psychological resilience,family function and post-traumatic growth levels respectively.The correlations among family function,post-traumatic growth and psychological resilience were analyzed through Person correlation analysis.Construct models of family function and post-traumatic growth to exam ine the mediating effect of psychological resilience,and the scatter plots of correlations and the mediating effect model diagrams were drawn.Results:There were significant differences in the scores of family function,psychological resilience and post-traumatic growth among patients with different characteristics(P＜0.05).The scores of family function,psychological resilience and post-traumatic growth of patients with characteristics such as being married,having a higher educational level,being slightly dependent on daily living skills and having their spouses as the main caregivers were significantly higher(P＜0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that family function was significantly positively correlated with psychological resilience(r=0.951,P＜0.05),family function was significantly positively correlated with post-traumatic growth(r=0.939,P＜0.05)and post-traumatic growth was significantly positively correlated with post-traumatic growth(r=0.959,P＜0.05).The structural equation model indicates that psychological resilience plays a partial mediating role between family function and post-traumatic growth,with the mediating effect accounting for 28.42％(95％CI:0.12-0.30)of the total effect.Conclusion:Family function can play an indirect role through psychological resilience to promote post-traumatic growth in young and middle-aged stroke patients,clinically,the collaborative intervention of family function and psychological resilience should be emphasized.
