Objective To investigate the acceptance and satisfaction of tuberculosis prevention and control personnel in Beijing with the patient management system, and to provide a basis for further improving the patient management model. Methods A survey was conducted on the current usage, satisfaction, willingness to use and system improvement opinions of the patient management system among medical staff involved in the supervision and medication management of pulmonary tuberculosis patients in Beijing. Results A total of 360 medical staff participated in the survey. “Patient management” was the function with the largest number of users, accounting for 96.94%. The proportion of users of each module who believed that the module's design met actual work needs was over 90%. About 94.44% of respondents believed that patient management systems facilitated the transfer and sharing of information between institutions. And 90.83% of respondents thought that the patient management system was easy to operate, and 89.17% of respondents believed that patient management systems reduced workload. About 97.50% of respondents were satisfied with the overall use of the patient management system. The results of the influencing factor analysis showed that those with 3 or less modules designed to meet actual work were less satisfied than those with more than 3 modules, and the difference was statistically significant (P=0.001). Respondents put forward suggestions for improvement on the optimization of operational details such as system response speed, interface design, system login and query statistics. Conclusion Medical staff involved in the follow-up management of pulmonary tuberculosis patients are highly satisfied with their work using the patient management system. During the promotion and use, it is still necessary to continuously optimize the system functions according to work needs so that the system can truly facilitate work.

Post-cholecystectomy syndrome (PCS) encompasses persistent or new abdominal pain, bloating, and diarrhea following cholecystectomy. Our understanding of its etiology, diagnosis, and treatment has evolved significantly. This systematic review traced the conceptual progression of PCS and addressed clinical controversies, and reflections on diagnostic and therapeutic improvements. The definition of PCS has shifted from an anatomical focus (e.g., retained stones, biliary duct injury) to functional disorders (e.g., sphincter of Oddi dysfunction, abnormal bile acid metabolism, and psychosomatic factors). Current diagnosis strictly adheres to the Rome Ⅳ criteria, with an approximate prevalence of 10%. Historically broad diagnostic criteria explained the wide variability in reported incidence rates (5%-63%). Ambiguity persists regarding whether pre-existing symptoms persisting or evolving postoperatively should be attributed to PCS.Therapeutic approaches have transitioned from definitive surgical interventions for organic lesions to pharmacological management of functional dyspepsia. Given the inherent conceptual ambiguity in PCS, we proposed replacing PCS with post-cholecystectomy biliary dyspepsia (PCBD)—a term emphasizing its postoperative onset, functional dyspepsia characteristics, and exclusion of preoperative symptoms or non-biliary etiologies. The introduction of the concept of PCBD can help to unify diagnostic criteria, guide individualized treatment, and conduct in-depth research.

Objective To retrospectively analyze multicenter data from domestic sources, aiming to explore the link between intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) tumor size and prognosis, establishing a classification system based on tumor size. Methods Between December 2011 and September 2018, 280 ICC patients from 13 hospitals were included. The tumor size prognosis cutoff was identified by the minimum P-value method, and the classification's overall survival related effectiveness was assessed by Kaplan-Meier analysis. Results All 280 patients were divided into the group of tumor maximum diameter ≤4 cm and >4 cm. Tumor size was confirmed as an independent prognosis factor by multivariate COX regression analysis (HR=2.110, 95% CI: 1.358-3.280). Conclusions The tumor size dichotomy classification system based on the Chinese patient group can expediently predict ICC prognosis and offers an important basis for selecting post-operative individualized adjuvant therapy and follow up plans.

Tingli Dazao Xiefeitang is a classic formula for treating lung abscesses and thoracic fluid retention, recognized throughout history and included in the Catalogue of Ancient Classic Formulas (Second Batch). This article employs bibliometric methods to investigate and analyze the source, origin, and key information of Tingli Dazao Xiefeitang, providing a theoretical basis for the development and application of this renowned formula. The results show that Tingli Dazao Xiefeitang first appears in Synopsis of the Golden Chamber (Jin Kui Yao Lue), where three clinical applications are recorded. The original text clearly states that this formula is used to treat lung abscesses and thoracic fluid retention, with symptoms such as inability to lie down due to wheezing, chest and rib fullness, facial edema, inability to rest due to thoracic fluid retention, and cough inversion. This aligns with findings from ancient application research. In later generations, the methods proposed by ZHANG Zhongjing were predominantly used for medication and formulation. Modern applications of Tingli Dazao Xiefeitang focus primarily on the respiratory system, with pleural effusion being the most common condition. For the preparation and decoction, a single dose of 5 g of Descurainiae Semen Lepidii Semen (dried and mature seeds of Lepidium apetalum) processed as stir-fried seeds and 36 g of Jujubae Fructus (dried and mature fruit of Ziziphus jujuba) prepared as raw materials were recommended. Then 600 mL of water was added and Jujubae Fructus was first boiled until the volume reduced to 400 mL. After filtering out the residue, the supernatant was retained and mixed with stir-fried Descurainiae Semen Lepidii Semen, followed by boiling to 200 mL, which should be consumed all at once. This research provides a theoretical basis for the development and application of this formula.

Objective:To study the relationship between circulating inflammatory proteins and liver cancer by Mendelian randomization.Methods:Data from the genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 91 circulating inflammatory proteins were sourced from the GWAS Catalog, involving 14 824 participants of European ancestry from 11 cohorts. Summary statistics for liver cancer were obtained from the GWAS database, encompassing a total sample of 197 611 cases, a two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis was conducted to evaluate the relationship between 91 circulating inflammatory proteins and liver cancer. Among them, inverse variance weighting, weighted median method, MR-Egger, simple mode, and weighted mode were the main analysis methods. Using odds ratio (OR) values to evaluate the causal relationship between them. Cochran Q-test, MR-PRESSO, MR-Egger intercept, and "leave-one-out" analyses were used for sensitivity analysis. Reverse MR, MR-Steiger tests were employed to rule out the influence of reverse causality.Results:Among the circulating 91 inflammatory proteins, C-C motif chemokine 20 ( OR=1.28, 95% CI: 1.01-1.62), CD40 receptor ( OR=1.31, 95% CI: 1.00-1.28), fibroblast growth factor 21 ( OR=1.47, 95% CI: 1.18-1.83), glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor ( OR=1.29, 95% CI: 1.08-1.54), interleukin-13 (IL-13) ( OR=1.24, 95% CI: 1.02-1.50), IL-20 levels ( OR=1.78, 95% CI: 1.30-2.44), IL-20 receptor subunit alpha ( OR=1.43, 95% CI: 1.06-1.93), and matrix metalloproteinase-10 ( OR=1.21, 95% CI: 1.04-1.39) have positive causal relationship with the occurrence of liver cancer. And IL-1 alpha ( OR=0.83, 95% CI: 0.71-0.96), IL-24 ( OR=0.68, 95% CI: 0.47-0.99), leukemia inhibitory factor ( OR=0.77, 95% CI: 0.60-0.98) and stem cell factor ( OR=0.87, 95% CI: 0.78-0.97) showed negative causal relationship with the occurrence of liver cancer. Heterogeneity tests for all 12 circulating inflammatory proteins revealed no outliers. Sensitivity analyses consistently demonstrated robustness, with no evidence of pleiotropy observed. Neither reverse MR nor MR-Steiger tests supported the existence of a reverse causal relationship between inflammatory proteins and liver cancer. Conclusion:The C-C motif chemokine 20, CD40L receptor, fibroblast growth factor 21, glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor, IL-13, IL-20, IL-20 receptor subunit alpha, MMP-10, IL-1 alpha, IL-24, leukemia inhibitory factor, and stem cell factor may be causally related to the development of liver cancer.

Objective:To analyze the correlation between drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE), results, polysomnography (PSG) indicators, and clinical parameters in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and to establish and validate a predictive model for tongue base plane obstruction.Methods:This retrospective study analyzed 117 OSA patients diagnosed via PSG and treated at the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University, between October 2014 and March 2022. The cohort comprised of 114 males and 3 females, with an age range of 20 to 54 years (mean age 38.1±8.4 years). Data on DISE results, PSG results, and clinical indicators were collected for all 117 patients. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify relevant indicators, and a predictive model for tongue base plane obstruction was constructed and internally validated using the R programming language.Results:Univariate logistic regression analysis identified four independent risk factors for predicting tongue root plane obstruction: tonsil grading, N2, N3, and rapid eye movement sleep(REM) stage [ OR:0.412(0.260~0.652),1.045(1.012~1.079),0.943(0.903~0.984),0.961(0.925~0.998), P <0.05]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis confirmed tonsil grading and N3 sleep stage (12.48±12.22%) as significant predictors. A nomogram model incorporating these factors demonstrated good predictive performance, with an area under curve(AUC) of 0.82 (95% CI: 0.548-1.000), an optimal cutoff of 0.519, a specificity of 80.0%, and a sensitivity of 86.7%. Internal validation of the model in the validation cohort yielded an AUC of 0.751 (95% CI: 0.625-0.876). Conclusions:Tongue base plane obstruction observed during DISE in OSA patients is associated with tonsil grading and N3 sleep stage duration. The predictive model developed for tongue base plane obstruction based on DISE demonstrates good efficacy, as evidenced by its internal validation.

Objectives:We aimed to compare the impact of dissection and re-entry(DR)recanalizing pattern with non-DR on the in-hospital results and prognostic outcomes of patients treated successfully by percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)of chronic total occlusion(CTO)and examine the benefit of DR in CTO PCI. Methods:A total of 815 consecutive patients with CTO meeting the inclusion criteria in the Department of Cardiology of the First Affiliated Hospital of PLA Air Force Military Medical University from January 2018 to December 2020 were enrolled and divided into DR group(n=239)and non-DR group(n=576)according to whether DR recanalizing pattern was used in the procedure.The clinical characteristics,coronary angiographic characteristics,procedure results,and complications were collected,and the prognostic outcomes within one year after the procedure were observed.Propensity score matching by the clinical and coronary angiographic characteristics was performed and results were compared with 208 matched patients in each group.The endpoints were the major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)consisting of all-cause death and myocardial infarction,clinically driven target vessel revascularization(TVR)one year after the procedure,and in-hospital outcomes. Results:The mean age of all patients was(60.9±10.9)years old,and 87.4%were male.As compared with the non-DR group,the proportion of blunt cap,ambiguous,calcification,angle>45°,and diseased landing zone,as well as mean J-CTO score was higher in the DR group(all P<0.05).The mean stent length and median procedure time were longer in the DR group,median guidewires and consumed contrast volume was also higher in the DR group(all P<0.001).Incidence of in-hospital death,myocardial infarction,perforation,side branch loss,bleeding of BARC 3rd grade and above,and contrast-related impairment of renal function were similar between the two groups(all P>0.05).However,peripheral vascular complications occurred more frequently in the DR group(P=0.007).One year after the procedure,the incidence of MACE(2.9%vs.2.4%,log-rank P=0.750)and clinically driven TVR(5.8%vs.3.9%,log-rank P=0.365)as well as all-cause death(2.9%vs.1.0%,log-rank P=0.154)and myocardial infarction(0.5%vs.1.9%,log-rank P=0.184)were similar between the two matched groups.Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed no significant association between DR and MACE(HR=1.129,95%CI:0.427-2.979,P=0.807)and TVR(HR=0.606,95%CI:0.213-1.722,P=0.347).LVEF≤40%(HR=2.775,95%CI:1.137-6.774,P=0.025)and elevated residual SYNTAX score(HR=1.089,95%CI:1.032-1.150,P=0.002)were risk factors for MACE,and diseased landing zone(HR=2.144,95%CI:1.019-4.513,P=0.045),rescued ADR(HR=3.479,95%CI:1.109-10.919,P=0.033),and prolonged procedure time(HR=1.007,95%CI:1.002-1.013,P=0.007)were risk factors for TVR. Conclusions:CTO lesion recanalized with PCI utilizing DR operation pattern was associated with more complex characteristics,more devices and time consumed,and longer stent length,while no significant association was observed between DR operation pattern and MACE and TVR one year after the procedure,as well as in-hospital complication..
