ObjectiveTo explore the correlation between the blood stasis score of coronary heart disease（CAD） and mild cognitive impairment（MCI）， as well as the changes in plasma metabolic profile of blood stasis in patients with CAD combined with MCI（CADMCI） through a cross-sectional study， and further explore the impact of different degrees of blood stasis on the plasma metabolite profile of CADMCI patients. MethodsAccording to the diagnostic criteria of CAD and CAD blood stasis， patients hospitalized in Xiyuan Hospital of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences from October 2022 to October 2023 were continuously included. According to the Montreal Cognitive Assessment（MoCA） scale score， the enrolled patients were divided into CADMCI blood stasis group and CAD blood stasis group. The association between blood stasis score and MCI was analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression model. The receiver operating characteristic（ROC） curve was drawn， and the area under the curve（AUC） was calculated to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the model. According to the blood stasis score， the first 30 patients in the CADMCI blood stasis group and CAD blood stasis group were divided into mild blood stasis and severe blood stasis. Ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS） was used to detect plasma metabolites in each group of patients. The differential metabolites were screened according to variable importance in the projection（VIP） value≥1， fold change（FC）<0.67 or >1.5， and P<0.05. ROC curve analysis was further used to evaluate the discriminatory efficiency of the screened differential metabolites for each group of samples. ResultsA total of 266 CAD patients were included in this study. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the CAD blood stasis score was significantly correlated with MCI［odds ratio（OR）=1.619， 95% confidence interval（CI） 1.223-2.142， P<0.001， ROC curve AUC was 0.615（95% CI 0.547-0.683， P=0.001）］， indicating that the CAD blood stasis score has a certain predictive value for MCI. Plasma non-targeted metabolomics analysis showed that the main differential metabolites between CAD blood stasis and CADMCI blood stasis were lipid metabolites， among which phosphatidylcholine［20∶4（5Z， 8Z， 11Z， 14Z）/P-18∶1（11Z）］ had the best discriminatory efficiency（ROC curve AUC=0.867， 95% CI 0.754-0.942）. Further analysis of the differential metabolites between mild and severe blood stasis showed that lipid metabolites were also the main differential metabolites between mild and severe blood stasis. Among them， 1α，25-dihydroxy-2β-（2-hydroxyethoxy） vitamin D₃ had the best efficacy in distinguishing mild and severe CAD blood stasis（AUC=0.813， 95% CI 0.649-0.951）， and phosphatidylcholine 34∶2 had the best efficacy in distinguishing mild and severe CADMCI blood stasis（AUC=0.819， 95% CI 0.640-0.941）. ConclusionThere is a significant correlation between CAD blood stasis score and MCI. Phosphatidylcholine metabolites play an important role in the pathogenesis of CADMCI blood stasis and severe blood stasis. The CAD blood stasis score combined with the detection of phosphatidylcholine metabolites can provide a reference for the development of early and efficient identification strategies for CADMCI.

The pharmaceutical industry faces challenges in quality digitization for complex multi-stage processes, especially in small-sample systems. Here, an intelligent quality prediction and diagnostic (IQPD) framework was developed and applied to Tong Ren Tang's Niuhuang Qingxin Pills, utilizing four years of data collected from four production units, covering the entire process from raw materials to finished products. In this framework, a novel path-enhanced double ensemble quality prediction model (PeDGAT) is proposed, which combines a graph attention network and path information to encode inter-unit long-range and sequential dependencies. Additionally, the double ensemble strategy enhances model stability in small samples. Compared to global traditional models, PeDGAT achieves state-of-the-art results, with an average improvement of 13.18% and 87.67% in prediction accuracy and stability on three indicators. Additionally, a more in-depth diagnostic model leveraging grey correlation analysis and expert knowledge reduces reliance on large samples, offering a panoramic view of attribute relationships across units and improving process transparency. Finally, the IQPD framework integrates into a Human-Cyber-Physical system, enabling faster decision-making and real-time quality adjustments for Tong Ren Tang's Niuhuang Qingxin Pills, a product with annual sales exceeding 100 million CNY. This facilitates the transition from experience-driven to data-driven manufacturing.

Objective This study aimed to investigate the effects of sleep interruption(SI)cycles on emotional behavior in ICR mice,and to establish a mouse model of comorbid anxiety and depression induced by SI.Methods Seventy-two male ICR mice(4～5 weeks old)were divided randomly into a blank group and a model group.Mice in the model group were subjected to SI stress modeling for 1,2,and 3 weeks,respectively.After modeling,emotional behaviors were evaluated using open-field,elevated plus maze,light-dark box,marble-burying,and forced-swimming tests.Serum corticosterone levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results Mice in the model group buried significantly more marbles after 1 week of SI stress,compared with the blank group(P＜0.05).After 2 weeks of stress,mice in the model group also showed a significant decrease in the number of crossings in the light-dark box(P＜0.05)and a significant increase in the number of marbles buried(P＜0.01)compared with the control group.After 3 weeks of stress,mice in the model group showed a significant increase in the number of marbles buried(P＜0.05),a significant decrease in the number of crossings in the light-dark box(P＜0.05),and a significant increase in immobility time in the forced-swim test(P＜0.01).Conclusions ICR mice exhibited significant anxiety-related behaviors after 2 weeks of SI modeling and significant anxiety-and depressive-related behavioral changes after 3 weeks.Three weeks of SI stress can be used to establish a model of comorbid anxiety and depression.

Objective To investigate the distribution of Streptococcus,sensitivity to commonly used antibiotics,and prognosis of the patients with bloodstream infections,and provide evidence for early diagnosis and selection of antibiotics.Methods The Streptococci i-solated from the blood samples of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from 2017 to 2022 were collected and di-vided into α-and β-hemolytic Streptococci according to the type of hemolysis.Their sensitivity to commonly used antibiotics was ana-lyzed.The differences in clinical data and prognosis between the two groups were also compared.Results A total of 314 strains of Streptococcus were isolated from 305 patients,including 270 strains of α-hemolytic Streptococcus and 44 β-hemolytic Streptococcus.The results of the drug sensitivity test showed that the proportion of Streptococcus strains with a diameter of 17-19 mm in the inhibition zone of vancomycin increased year by year.The positive alarm time of blood culture for β-hemolytic Streptococcus was significantly shorter than that for α-hemolytic Streptococcus(P＜0.001).Using 10.5 hours as the diagnostic threshold could assist in distinguishing blood-stream infections caused by α-and β-hemolytic Streptococcus.The overall mortality rate of patients with streptococcal bloodstream infec-tion was 15.1％,and there was no statistically significant difference in the mortality rate between the two groups(P=0.813).Conclu-sion The main Streptococcus causing bloodstream infections in our hospital is α-hemolytic Streptococcus.There are differences in the antimicrobial sensitivity and clinical characteristics among patients with different streptococcal bloodstream infections.The positive a-larm time of blood culture can assist in distinguishing the type of streptococcal bloodstream infections.In addition,the diameter of the inhibition zone of vancomycin against Streptococcus has drifted towards the breakpoint of drug resistance.

AIM:To investigate whether total alkaloids of Cocculus orbiculatus(COTA)attenuate ulcerative colitis(UC)in mice via PINK1/parkin mitophagy pathway.METHODS:Sixty C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into normal control group,model group,positive drug mesalazine group,and low-,medium-and high-dose(0.162,0.324 and 0.486 g/kg)COTA groups,with 10 mice in each group.Except for normal control group,the mice in all groups were given free access to 3%dextran sulfate sodium(DSS)solution for 7 consecutive days to establish a UC model in mice,and were then treated with COTA or mesalazine via oral gavage.The general condition of the mice was observed,and the colon length and disease activity index(DAI)score were determined.Colon histopathological damage was observed by HE staining.The serum levels of interleukin-1β(IL-1β),IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)were detected by ELISA.The pro-tein levels of PINK1,parkin,microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3(LC3),P62 and beclin-1 in colon tissues were determined by Western blot.The protein expression of LC3 and parkin was detected by immunofluorescence.RE-SULTS:Compared with normal control group,the mice in model group showed varying degrees of soft stools or bloody stools,decreased body weight(P<0.05),increased DAI score,shortened colon length(P<0.05),and obvious pathologi-cal damage in the colon tissue.The serum levels of IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α were elevated(P<0.05).The protein levels of parkin,PINK1,LC3-II and beclin-1 were significantly decreased(P<0.05),while P62 protein expression was in-creased(P<0.05).Immunofluorescence showed a small number of autophagosomes in the colon tissue.In contrast,com-pared with model group,the mice in total alkaloids of Cocculus orbiculatus groups exhibited increased body weight(P<0.05),decreased DAI score,increased colon length(P<0.05),and reduced levels of IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α(P<0.05).The protein levels of parkin,PINK1,LC3 and beclin-1 were elevated(P<0.05),while P62 expression was re-duced(P<0.05),with numerous autophagosomes visible in the colon tissue via immunofluorescence.CONCLUSION:Total alkaloids of Cocculus orbiculatus can enhance the expression of mitophagy-related proteins PINK1,parkin,LC3 and beclin-1,activate mitophagy,and reduce the expression of inflammatory factors,thereby attenuating the inflammatory re-sponse in the colon mucosa of DSS-induced UC mice.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics of SAPHO syndrome in elderly patients with organizing pneumonia.Methods:We reported a case of SAPHO syndrome in an elderly patient with organizing pneumonia.Relevant reports on SAPHO syndrome with organizing pneumonia at home and abroad were retrieved, and the literature was summarized an analyzed.Results:The patient was a 63-year-od female who was admitted to the hospital due to "intermittent fever and cough for more than two months". Before admission, she was previously diagnosed with pneumonia in another hospital with poor response to anti-infective treatment.Chest CT showed multiple bilateral patchy consolidations in both lungs, with migratory changes and reversed halo signs.Her medical history included bone and joint pain(e.g., sternoclavicular joints)and palmoplantar pustulosis.Lung biopsy pathology confirmed organizing pneumonia. 99mTc-MDP bone scintigraphy revealed abnormal bone salt metabolism in multiple bone and joint areas.The final diagnosis was SAPHO syndrome with organizing pneumonia.Both symptoms and imaging significantly improved after prednisone treatment.Two related cases were retrieved from the literature.One was a 57-year-old female reported in the UK, who had been diagnosed with SAPHO syndrome before and was found to have lung consolidations due to respiratory symptoms.Lung biopsy confirmed organizing pneumonia, and she improved after glucocorticoid treatment.The other was a 59-year-old Chinese female who visited hospital due to pain in the lumbosacral part and left lower limb.After being diagnosed with SAPHO syndrome, a chest CT scan was performed and lung consolidations were found.The pathology confirmed organizing pneumonia.The patient improved after treatment with Tripterygium wilfordii. Conclusion:SAPHO syndrome complicated with organizing pneumonia is rare, with diverse clinical manifestations, and responds well to glucocorticoid therapy.

Objective:To understand the incidence rate of herpes zoster (HZ) and postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) in Beijing, and analyze the incidence trend of HZ and PHN from 2015 to 2022.Methods:Cases of HZ and PHN from 2015 to 2022 were retrieved from the Hospital Information Systems (HIS) of all primary and above hospitals/clinics in three districts representing the urban, inner suburban, and outer suburban areas of Beijing. After duplication screening, the first visit cases were screened, and the incidence characteristics were described. The incidence rate of HZ and PHN in each year by sex and age group and the age-standardized incidence rate were calculated. The annual percentage increase (APC) of incidence rate was calculated using the Joint regression model, and the change trend was analyzed.Results:The age-standardized incidence rate of HZ in Beijing from 2015 to 2022 ranged from 7.44‰ to 10.05‰, with an average annual incidence rate of 8.95 ‰, significantly increasing with age ( P<0.001). The Joinpoint regression model showed that the overall age-standardized incidence of HZ remained relatively stable, with no significant difference (APC=2.28%, t=1.56, P=0.170). However, the incidence rate among the 0-19-year-old group exhibited a trend of decrease (APC=-10.70%, t=-6.29, P<0.001). For PHN, the age-standardized incidence in Beijing ranged from 0.77‰ to 2.67‰, with an average annual incidence rate of 1.59‰ and a proportion of 9.48% to 26.86% among HZ cases. Both the incidence of PHN and its proportion among HZ cases increased with age ( P<0.001). The age-standardized incidence of PHN increased annually (APC=18.56%, t=9.02, P<0.001). Conclusion:The incidence rate of HZ and PHN in Beijing continues to be at a high level, and PHN shows an increasing trend over time.

Objective:To analyze the changes and structural variations in hospitalization costs for patients with lung malignancies after the implementation of diagnosis-intervention packet (DIP) payment system, and to evaluate its effectiveness.Methods:Data from the first page of medical records and hospitalization cost data from the hospital information system of a tertiary general hospital in Henan Province were extracted for patients diagnosed with lung malignancies from 2020 to 2023. The data were divided into pre-implementation group (2020—2021) and post-implementation group (2022—2023) based on the implementation time of DIP. Chi-square test, t test, and Wilcoxon rank-sum test were used to analyze the differences in basic characteristics and hospitalization costs of patients with lung malignancies before and after the implementation of DIP. Grey relational analysis was employed to examine the internal associations between total hospitalization costs and various cost components. Structural variation analysis was used to assess the changes in the structure of hospitalization costs after the implementation of DIP. Results:A total of 14 587 hospitalized patients with lung malignancies were included, with 6 807 cases in the pre-implementation group and 7 780 cases in the post-implementation group. The average length of hospital stay decreased from (13.17±6.74) days before implementation to (12.02±6.49) days after implementation ( P<0.05). The proportion of level-four surgeries increased from 46.4% to 57.0% ( P<0.05). The average hospitalization cost per patient with lung malignancies decreased from 56 952 yuan before DIP implementation to 55 560 yuan after implementation ( P<0.05). For patients with lung malignancies diagnosed as C34.1, C34.2, C34.3, and C34.8, the top four cost components most strongly associated with total hospitalization costs were treatment costs, material costs, comprehensive medical service costs, and diagnostic costs, with correlation coefficients all>0.80. For patients with C34.9, the top four cost components most strongly associated with total hospitalization costs were treatment costs, comprehensive medical service costs, diagnostic costs, and Western medicine costs, with correlation coefficients>0.95. For patients diagnosed as C34.1, C34.2, C34.3, and C34.9, diagnostic costs, Western medicine costs, and material costs contributed significantly to the structural variation of hospitalization costs, with contribution rate of structure variation all exceeding 75%, among which Western medicine costs and material costs showed negative variation. For patients diagnosed as C34.8, treatment costs, Western medicine costs, and material costs contributed significantly to the structural variation of hospitalization costs, with contribution rate of structure variation all exceeding 80%, among which Western medicine costs showed negative variation. Conclusions:The implementation of DIP reduced the hospitalization costs for patients with lung malignancies, optimized the structure of hospitalization costs, improved the efficiency of medical services, and promoted the rational allocation of medical resources.

[Purpose]To analyze the incidence and mortality of female breast cancer in Zhejiang cancer registration areas in 2021 and the trends from 2000 to 2021.[Methods]The data of cancer inci-dence,mortality and population data reported by cancer registration areas in Zhejiang Province from 2000 to 2021 were collected.The crude incidence/mortality rates,age-standardized rates ad-justed by Chinese standard population(ASIRC,ASMRC)and world standard population(ASIRW,ASMRW),cumulative rates(0～74 years old),truncated rates(35～64 years old),proportion of fe-male breast cancer and age-specific rate were calculated.The average annual percentage change(AAPC)of female breast cancer incidence and mortality rates in Zhejiang from 2000 to 2021 was calculated using Joinpoint software.[Results]In 2021,there were 7 262 new cases of female breast cancer in Zhejiang cancer registration areas,accounting for 12.70％of all new female can-cer cases.The crude incidence rate,ASIRC and ASIRW were 65.71/105,42.03/105 and 39.22/105,respectively.The cumulative incidence rate(0～74 years old)was 4.26％,and the truncated rate(35～64 years old)was 98.34/105.The ASIRC in urban and rural areas were 43.15/105 and 40.15/105,respectively.There were 992 deaths of female breast cancer,accounting for 6.97％of all female cancer deaths.The crude mortality rate,ASMRC and ASMRW were 8.98/105,4.62/105 and 4.47/105,respectively.The cumulative mortality rate(0～74 years old)was 0.48％,and the truncated rate(35～64 years old)was 8.89/105.The ASMRC in urban and rural areas were 4.79/105 and 4.34/105,respectively.The incidence rate of female breast cancer reached the peak at the age group of 60～64 years old,and the mortality rate reached the peak at the age group of 85 years old and above.From 2000 to 2021,the crude incidence rate,ASIRC and ASIRW of female breast cancer in Zhejiang cancer registration areas showed significant increasing trends(all P＜0.05).The crude mortality rate and ASMRW of female breast cancer also showed significant increasing trends(all P＜0.05).[Conclusion]The incidence rate of female breast cancer in Zhejiang Province was higher than the national average,while the mortality rate was lower than the national average in 2021.Both the incidence and mortality rates showed increasing trends from 2000 to 2021.Fur-thermore,distinct urban-rural disparities existed in both incidence and mortality characteristics.

Objective To explore the risk factors of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)in obese children,and evaluate the diagnostic value of each index for NAFLD and establish a Nomogram prediction model.Methods A total of 207 obese children admitted at Department of Pediatrics the Second Hospital of Jiaxing from January 2022 to January 2025 were selected.These children were divided into two groups based on NAFLD diagnosis:non-NAFLD group(n=99)and NAFLD group(n=108).Differences in gender,age,body mass index(BMI),and related metabolic indicators were compared between two groups.Logistic regression was employed to analyze potential risk factors for NAFLD development,while receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve and Nomograms were used to evaluate the predictive value of different factors for NAFLD.Results ROC curve analysis demonstrated diagnostic value for NAFLD in triglyceride-glucose index(TyG),triglyceride-to-cholesterol ratio,TyG-waist circumference,and TyG-BMI.Among these,the area under the curve(AUC)of TyG showed the highest value of 0.713,with an optimal cutoff of 8.189,sensitivity of 50.5％and specificity of 83.3％.Univariate Logistic regression analysis revealed multiple insulin resistance indicators associated with NAFLD development.Multivariate analysis identified homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance(HOMA-IR)and TyG as independent risk factors,with TyG showing the best predictive value(OR=3.038 95％CI:1.089-8.475,P＜0.05).The constructed Nomogram prediction model demonstrated strong comprehensive discriminant capability(AUC=0.742).Conclusion The Nomogram model based on HOMA-IR,TyG and its derived indexes has certain clinical application value in the screening of NAFLD in children.
