ObjectiveTo explore the clinical efficacy of oral administration of modified Tuoli Xiaodusan on postoperative patients with perianal abscess， and its effects on related inflammatory factors and signal transducers and activators of transcription protein 3 （STAT3）/vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF） signaling pathways. MethodsFrom January 2023 to December 2023 in Inner Mongolia hospital of traditional Chinese medicine， 60 postoperative patients with perianal abscess who met the inclusion criteria were selected. They were divided into a treatment group and a control group using the random number table method， with 30 cases in each group. The control group received conventional treatment， while the treatment group received additional treatment with modified Tuoli Xiaodusan on the basis of the control group. The course of treatment in both groups was three weeks. On the day of operation and on the 7^th， 14^th and 21^st day after operation， enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to measure the expression levels of serum interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）. Hematoxylin eosin （HE） staining was used to observe the pathological morphology of pathological tissue. Western blot was used to measure the levels of phosphorylated STAT3 （p-STAT3） and vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF） proteins， and real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to determine the expression level of VEGF mRNA. The clinical efficacy of the two groups was compared according to the wound pain， secretion volume score， and healing rate of patients on the 3^rd， 7^th， 14^th， and 21^st day after operation. ResultsThe total effective rate of the treatment group was higher than that of the control group （P<0.05）. For intra-group comparison， the pain score of the control group decreased at each time period （P<0.05）， and the healing rate increased （P<0.05）. The secretion volume score decreased on the 14^th and 21^st days after operation （P<0.05）. The pain score and secretion volume score of the treatment group decreased at each time period （P<0.05）， and the healing rate increased （P<0.05）. The levels of various inflammatory factors decreased in both groups （P<0.05）. Compared with those on the surgical day， the levels of p-STAT3 and VEGF proteins in the wound tissue of the two groups were different on the 7^th and 21^st days after operation （P<0.05）. There were significant differences in VEGF mRNA levels in wound tissue between the two groups at each time period （P<0.01）. For inter-group comparison， on the 7^th and 14^th days after operation， the pain score in the treatment group was lower than that in the control group. On the 7^th， 14^th and 21^st days after operation， the secretion volume scores and healing rate of the treatment group were better than those of the control group （P<0.05）. The levels of various inflammatory factors in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group （P<0.05）， and the decline rate was faster （P<0.05）. On the 7^th day after operation， the levels of p-STAT3， VEGF protein， and VEGF mRNA in the wound tissue of the treatment group were higher than those in the control group （P<0.05）. HE staining showed that the inflammatory cell infiltration in the treatment group decreased faster. The cell arrangement was more orderly， and new blood vessel lumens were visible. There were no abnormalities in the safety observation indexes of all patients during the study period. ConclusionModified Tuoli Xiaodusan can relieve wound pain after perianal abscess surgery， reduce secretions， and improve wound healing rate. The mechanism may be reducing the levels of serum IL-1β， IL-6， and TNF-α， reducing the inflammatory response of the wound， upregulating the expression of p-STAT3 and VEGF proteins， and stimulating the STAT3/VEGF signaling pathway， thereby accelerating angiogenesis and promoting wound healing.

Mitochondria play a crucial role as organelles,managing several physiological processes such as redox balance,cell metabolism,and energy synthesis.Initially,the assumption was that mitochondria primarily resided in the host cells and could exclusively transmit from oocytes to offspring by a mechanism known as vertical inheritance of mitochondria.Recent scholarly works,however,suggest that certain cell types transmit their mitochondria to other developmental cell types via a mechanism referred to as inter-cellular or horizontal mitochondrial transfer.This review details the process of which mitochondria are transferred across cells and explains the impact of mitochondrial transfer between cells on the efficacy and functionality of cancer cells in various cancer forms.Specifically,we review the role of mitochondria transfer in regulating cellular metabolism restoration,excess reactive oxygen species(ROS)generation,proliferation,invasion,metastasis,mitophagy activation,mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA)inheritance,im-mune system modulation and therapeutic resistance in cancer.Additionally,we highlight the possibility of using intercellular mitochondria transfer as a therapeutic approach to treat cancer and enhance the efficacy of cancer treatments.

Objective:To construct and evaluate a radiomics model for predicting perineural invasion in patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC).Methods:Clinical data of 144 patients with ICC undergoing surgery in the People’s Hospital of Zhengzhou University ( n=113) and the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University ( n=31) from January 2018 to June 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including 80 males and 64 females, aged (58.8±10.1) years. The patients were randomly divided into a training set ( n=100) and a test set ( n=44) at a ratio of 7: 3. The former set was used to build the model for predicting perineural invasion, and the latter was used to evaluate the model. Enhanced CT images and clinical data of the patients were collected, and features related to perineural invasion were screened. A light gradient boosting machine was used to construct an imaging genomics model. The model was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results:Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that none of the clinical features were associated with neural invasion in ICC patients (all P>0.05). Six, 25, 32, and 37 radiomics features were obtained by screening the intratumoral, 2 mm peritumoral, 5 mm peritumoral, and 8 mm peritumoral regions, respectively. The area under the ROC curve for predicting perineural invasion in ICC patients was 0.849 (95% CI: 0.774-0.923) in the training set and 0.745 (95% CI: 0.597-0.894) in the test set for the intratumoral model, 0.966 (95% CI: 0.938-0.995) and 0.750 (95% CI: 0.604-0.896) for the 5mm peritumoral model, 0.936 (95% CI: 0.892-0.980) and 0.792 (95% CI: 0.644-0.939) for the 2mm peritumoral model, and 0.961 (95% CI: 0.929-0.992) and 0.689 (95% CI: 0.526-0.853) for the 8mm peritumoral model. The area under the ROC curve, accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of the combined intratumoral and 5mm peritumoral model for predicting perineural invasion were 0.927 (95% CI: 0.878-0.976), 88.0%, 84.5%, and 89.8% in the training set, and 0.849 (95% CI: 0.737-0.960), 77.3%, 85.2%, and 72.0% in the test set, respectively. The calibration curve showed a deviation between the calibration curve of the combined intratumoral and 5mm peritumoral model and the ideal line, but it could achieve basic consistency. DCA showed that when the threshold was between 0.18 and 0.70, the combined intratumoral and 5mm peritumoral model could bring clinical net benefit to patients when predicting neural invasion. Conclusion:The intratumoral and 5mm peritumoral imaging genomics model based on enhanced CT features can effectively predict neural invasion and offer clinical benefits in patients with ICC.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease(CJD)is a rapidly progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by prions,with certain infectivity and iatrogenic transmission risks.With the rapid progress and application of new dia-gnostic biomarkers and detection methods,as well as the construction and improvement of surveillance and reporting systems,the detection of CJD in patients domestically and internationally has shown an increasing trend year by year.Due to its long incubation period and heterogeneity of early symptoms,early identification and diagnosis of the disease is difficult,increasing the risk of transmission within medical institutions.Currently,there is a lack of con-sensus on the infection prevention and control of CJD.In order to timely identify and diagnose CJD as well as effec-tively block its transmission in medical institutions,this consensus summarizes 15 clinical concerns and formulates 24 specific recommendations based on the latest domestic and international research findings and clinical evidence,as well as combines with clinical practice,aiming to standardize healthcare-associated infection prevention and control measures for CJD and reduce its transmission risk in medical institutions.

Objective To explore the role of miR-204-3p in silicosis and to elucidate the mechanism by which it affects silicosis fibers by regulating silica dust-induced alveolar epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)in rats.Methods Forty SD rats were divided randomly into 4 groups:Control,Silicosis,AAV-Control,and AAV-miR-204-3p groups.The pathology of lung tissue damage was detected by hematoxylin and eosin(HE)and Masson staining.Relative expression levels of miR-204-3p and EMT marker genes in lung tissues from rats in each group were analyzed by real-time fluorescence reverse transcription quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR),and protein expression levels of EMT-related markers in lung tissues were detected by Western blot.Results The alveolar structure was damaged,the lung septa showed interstitial fibrosis,and expression levels of mesenchymal markers were elevated in the Silicosis group compared with the Control group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01,P＜0.001).The alveolar structure was more complete,the EMT process was alleviated,fibrosis was improved,and mesenchymal marker expression was reduced in the AAV-miR-204-3p group compared with the AAV-Control group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01,P＜0.001).Conclusions Free silica dust induces EMT in rat lung tissue.Overexpression of miR-204-3p can attenuate the EMT process induced by free silica dust in rats,and may thus affect silicosis fibrosis.

Objective Taking a tertiary Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)hospital in Beijing as an example,it explores the differences in service quality perception among medical providers in Internet-based diagnostic services,aiming to provide robust support for the digital transformation of TCM medical services.Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted among 145 doctors who had diagnostic privileges on the Internet hospital platform of a certain hospital in September 2024.The survey focused on doctors'perceptions and satisfaction differences between online and offline medical service quality.Data processing and analysis were performed using EXCEL and SPSS 26.0 software,including descriptive analysis,reliability and validity tests,and rank-sum tests.Results 66.34%of the doctors recognized the Internet hospital platform established by the hospital,but the average satisfaction score(3.86)was still lower than that of offline outpatient service platforms,which was 4.59.Especially in the three dimensions of diagnosis and treatment,quality assurance,and psychosocial care,the perception of online service quality was significantly lower than that of offline services(P＜0.001).Despite this,82.76%of doctors were still inclined to recommend the internet-based diagnostic model to suitable patients.Conclusion Internet hospitals should establish a refined and intelligent platform system and rigorous service quality control standards to optimize doctors'online consultation processes.Comprehensive training for online consulting doctors should be strengthened.By improving the service quality of medical providers,the integration of online and offline services can be promoted to meet patients'demands for high-quality medical services.

BACKGROUND:H uman pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes offer an ideal cellular resource for studying heart diseases,conducting drug screening,developing in vitro heart models,and exploring potential cell therapies.However,human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes are characterized by immaturity with limited specific gene expression,low Ca2+processing levels,and underdeveloped structural,metabolic,and electrophysiological features.These limitations significantly impede the application of human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes.OBJECTIVE:To review the academic progress and clinical application of promoting the maturation of human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes by in vitro synthetic microenvironment.METHODS:CNKI,WanFang,VIP,PubMed,Web of Science,and Medline databases were searched,with"human pluripotent stem cells,human myocardial cells,hPSC-CMs,mature,OA,human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes,hPSC-CMs"as English search terms and"human pluripotent stem cells,cardiomyocytes,mature,OA,hPSC-CMs"as Chinese search terms.All relevant literature published from January 2002 to July 2024 was retrieved and 82 articles were included in the review.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)In recent years,in vitro synthetic microenvironments have attracted extensive attention due to their excellent intrinsic properties such as stiffness,plasticity,nanoscale morphology,and chemical functionality.(2)Human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes can be used as an effective platform for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.(3)Mechanical stimulation,electrical stimulation,addition of biochemical molecules,and three-dimensional culture methods are effective methods to promote the maturation of human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes,which can further promote the clinical application of human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes.

AIM:To explore the efficacy and safe-ty of two drugs in diagnosed idiopathic membra-nous nephropathy(IMN).METHODS:A retrospec-tive study was conducted on 113 patients diag-nosed with IMN by renal biopsy or PLA2R antibody positive at the department of nephrology,yijishan hospital,wannan medical college from november 2019 to July 2024,of whom 55 received cyclophos-phamide treatment and 58 received rituximab treatment,and follow-up was ≥6 months.RESULTS:At 6 months,38 patients(69.09％)in the cyclophos-phamide treatment group and 36 patients(62.07％)in the rituximab treatment group had achieved a combined response(complete or partial response).At 12 and 18 months,there was no statistical differ-ence in the combined response rate between the two groups(70.83％vs.83.87％,P=0.186 and 73.68％vs.73.68％,P=1.000),but at 12 months,the combined response rate in the rituximab group was higher than that in the cyclophosphamide group.In IMN patients with eGFR＜60 mL/(min·1.73 m2),rituximab significantly improved renal function(P=0.008).Over the entire follow-up peri-od,the total number of adverse events was higher in the cyclophosphamide group than in the ritux-imab group(57 vs..45),and the incidence of non-serious adverse events was higher than in the ritux-imab group(P=0.039).CONCLUSION:The efficacy of rituximab in the treatment of IMN is not inferior to that of cyclophosphamide,and it has better safety.Rituximab improved renal function better than cy-clophosphamide in patients with eGFR＜60 mL/(min·1.73 m2)IMN.

Objective:To implement evidence-based practice for eye management in ICU patients undergoing prone position ventilation and evaluate the effectiveness of applying the best evidence for eye management in this setting.Methods:Through literature retrieval, screening, and evaluation, the best evidence for eye management in ICU patients undergoing prone position ventilation was summarized and compiled into evidence review indicators. From March to June 2024, convenience sampling was used to select 29 ICU prone position ventilation patients and 30 ICU nurses at Shanghai Changzheng Hospital for baseline review to identify obstacles in clinical practice of evidence and develop action strategies based on these obstacles. From July to October 2024, 29 ICU prone position ventilation patients and 29 ICU nurses were selected for evidence-based practice to compare the implementation rates of review indicators before and after evidence-based practice, ICU nurses' knowledge, attitude and practice regarding eye management for prone position ventilation patients, as well as the intraocular pressure during prone position ventilation and the incidence of eye complications within the first week of ICU admission.Results:After evidence-based practice, the implementation rates of all 16 review indicators by ICU nurses were higher than those before evidence-based practice, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The total score, knowledge dimension score, and practice dimension score on the Knowledge, Attitude and Practice Questionnaire on Eye Management during Prone Position Ventilation for ICU nurses were higher than those before evidence-based practice, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). After evidence-based practice, the intraocular pressure of ICU patients in prone position ventilation for 8 hours and at the end improved, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The overall incidence of eye complications within one week of ICU admission decreased from 27.6% to 6.9%, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Implementing evidence-based practices for eye management in ICU patients undergoing prone position ventilation can effectively increase nurses' implementation rates of review indicators, enhance their knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding eye management, and reduce the incidence of eye complications in patients.
