Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy(CIPN)refers to some symptoms and signs of peripheral nerve dysfunc-tion caused by using anti-tumor drugs,which is related to the dose of chemotherapy drugs.The pathogenesis of CIPN has not been fully defined,and the efficacy of existing therapeutic drugs and methods is limited.Therefore,it is of great scientific value and social significance to explore the pathogenesis of CIPN,de-velop new therapeutic drugs and methods,and solve the unmet clinical needs.This paper will elaborate on the pathogenesis of CIPN from the molecular and cellular levels,and review the treatment progress of CIPN,so as to provide reference for clinical treatment and direction for future research.

The accuracy of medical imaging diagnosis will directly impact the clinical forensic evaluation's scientific validity and objectivity.This study systematically analyzed the primary causes of misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis in imaging examinations,focusing on representative cases,including rib fractures,traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage,joint injuries with ligament damage,nasal fractures,congenital skeletal variations,and epiphyseal injuries.Key contributing factors encompassed limitation of imaging technologies,the insufficient interpretive experience of examiners,the complexity of injury mechanisms,and inadequate post-traumatic dynamic imaging follow-up.To address these issues,improvement strategies are proposed,which were establishing standardized imaging review protocols,implementing multimodal imaging approaches,rigorous evaluation of original imaging data,and enhancing professional knowledge regarding anatomical variations and injury differentiation.These measures aim to elevate the quality of forensic imaging diagnosis,providing more precise and reliable strategies for forensic clinical identifications.

Purpose To investigate the immunohistochemical HER2 expression in a large group of patients with urothelial carcinoma and to compare the results with the pathologic features and survival rate.Methods A total of 519 urothelial carcinoma specimens were collected from two centers.HER2 expression was measured by EnVision immuno-histochemistry.HER2 expression was compared with clinicopathological parameters,and further analyzed in relation to patient prognosis.Results The median age of the 519 patients was 66 years with a male to female ratio of 1.93∶1.Among them,160 cases were radical specimens,and 359 were transurethral resection specimens.The overall HER2 positivity rate was 61.7％(320/519),of which 148 cases(28.5％)were HER2 1+,238(45.9％)were HER2 2+,and 82(15.8％)were HER2 3+.In addition,51 cases(9.8％)were HER2-negative.HER2-positive ex-pression was associated with age,tumor location,histological grade,histological type,surgical approach,lymphovas-cular invasion,and neural invasion(all P＜0.05),but there was no significant correlation with gender,pT stage,muscular invasion,or lymph node metastasis.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age≥ 66 years,higher tumor grade,and lymphovascular invasion were risk factors for positive HER2 expression,and high histological grade and lymphovascular invasion were independent risk factors affecting HER2 expression after controlling for confounders.Survival analysis showed no significant difference in recurrence-free survival between patients with HER2-positive and HER2-negative non-muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma(P=0.274).Conclusion High histologic grade,tumor lymphovascular invasion,and neural invasion were associated with positive HER2 expression in patients with urothelial carcinoma,and higher histologic grade and lymphovascular invasion are important factors affect-ing HER2 expression.However,HER2-positive expression may not affect the prognosis of patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder urothelial carcinoma.

This study was aimed at establishing a method of ultra-fast quantitative PCR for Brucella detection.We used an exogenous recombinant plasmid as the internal reference and targeted the T4SS secretion system,an important Brucella viru-lence factor,to design specific primers and probes.The sensitivity,specificity,and repeatability of this method were evaluated,and a standard curve was constructed.The coincidence rate of detection findings with this method versus quantitative PCR was determined.This method markedly decreased the detection time to only 10 minutes.The standard curve demonstrated a good linear relationship(Y=-3.410 7x+38.357,R2=0.998 5)with a low minimum detection limit of 10 copies/μL.The method exhibited good specificity and did not specifically amplify several common clinical bacteria other than Brucella.The de-tection of three concentrations of positive plasmids yielded coefficients of variation(CVs)of 0.20％to 0.91％,thus demonstra-ting the method's excellent repeatability.Furthermore,140 clinical samples were analyzed concurrently with the fluorescence PCR method,which yielded a 100％compliance rate and consistent results.Our findings indicated that the Brucella ultra-fast quantitative PCR was ultrafast;had high sensitivity,high specificity,and good specificity;and can be used for the clinical de-tection of Brucella and emergency investigation of epidemics.Therefore,this method is valuable for the early diagnosis of Bru-cella.

Objective:This study empirically analyzes the relationship between outpatient and inpatient services under the impact of healthcare payment reform,and evaluates the effects of the reform.Methods:Data from healthcare services and basic medical insurance payments in eight districts of Jinhua City from 2020 to 2022 were used.A fixed-effects model for outpatient and inpatient services was constructed to analyze the impact of healthcare payment reforms and outpatient services on inpatient services.Results:The DRG-based payment had a significant positive effect on inpatient visits and a significant negative effect on employee basic medical insurance inpatient costs.The"capitation+APG"outpatient payment policy had a significant negative effect on inpatient visits and a significant negative effect on residents'basic medical insurance inpatient costs.The interaction between outpatient payment and outpatient visits had a significant negative effect on employee basic medical insurance inpatient visits,while the interaction between outpatient payment and outpatient costs had a significant negative effect on both overall and employee inpatient costs.Conclusions:The DRG payment reform led to an increase in inpatient visits and a reduction in employee basic medical insurance inpatient costs.The outpatient"capitation+APG"payment reform reduced inpatient visits and lowered residents'basic medical insurance inpatient costs,thereby slowing down the complementary effect between outpatient and inpatient services.

Objective To analyze the prevalence status of cardiometabolic risk factor (CMRF) and its aggregation among workers engaged in new forms of employment. Methods A total of 5 429 new employment workers (including couriers, online food delivery workers, and ride hailing drivers) who underwent health medical examinations at a tertiary hospital in Beijing City were selected as the research subjects using the judgment sampling method. Data on waist circumference, blood pressure, blood glucose, and blood lipid levels were collected to analyze their CMRF [central obesity, elevated blood pressure, elevated blood glucose, elevated triglycerides, and reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)] and their aggregation (with ≥ 2 of the above 5 risk factors) status. Results The detection rates of central obesity, elevated blood pressure, elevated blood glucose, elevated triglycerides, and reduced HDL-C were 61.2%, 38.2%, 29.5%, 40.9% and 22.6%, respectively. The detection rates of CMRF aggregation was 57.8%. The result of multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that male, age ≥45 years, smoking, overweight, and obesity were risk factors for CMRF aggregation (all P<0.05). Conclusion The detection rate of CMRF and its aggregation among workers with new forms of employment in Beijing City is relatively high. Targeted prevention and control efforts should be strengthened for high-risk populations, especially males, workers aged ≥45 years, smokers, and those who are overweight or obese.
