Objective:To evaluate the clinical application of urine sediment score (USS) in early diagnosis, etiological differentiation, staging and prognosis of acute kidney injury (AKI), and to investigate the diagnostic efficacy of independent USS and its combination with blood urea nitrogen(Bun) serum creatinine(sCr) and uric acid(UA) in AKI.Methods:From August 23 to September 28, 2023, 9 020 morning urine samples of hospitalized patients in the First Hospital of Jilin University were detected by Sysmex UF5000.A total of 3 226 ssamples with small and round cell (SRC) > 1/μl and/or CAST>1/μl were screened for microscopic examination, and 404 cases with positive renal tubular epithelial cells and/or cast were enrolled in this study. There were 218 males and 186 females, aged 59.5 (49.0, 71.0) years. The 404 cases were divided into the USS AKI group (345 cases) and the USS non-AKI group (59 cases) according to the USS results based on the microscopic findings. According to Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria, they were divided into KDIGO criteria AKI group (63 cases) and KDIGO criteria non-AKI group (341 cases), and the AKI group was divided into renal AKI group (33 cases) and non-renal AKI group (30 cases). According to the clinical diagnosis recorded in the medical records, they were divided into clinically diagnosed AKI group (29 cases) and clinically diagnosed non-AKI group (375 cases).The χ 2 test or Fisher exact test was used to compare USS in different AKI causes and stages. Logistic regression was used to calculate the odds ratio of renal AKI and stage 3 AKI. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of USS, sCr, UA and Bun alone and in combination in the diagnosis of AKI, and the best cut-off value, sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of AKI were calculated. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:The USS was used to identify the etiology of KDIGO standard AKI group,and there were significant differences in USS between renal AKI group and non-renal AKI group (χ 2=11.070, P<0.001). Compared to USS=1, the odds ratio of renal AKI was 8.125 when USS≥2 (95% CI 2.208—29.901). There was a statistically significant difference in the comparison of USS between groups in each stage of the AKI staging study based on USS (χ 2=15.724, P<0.05). Compared to USS=1, the odds ratio of stage 3 AKI was 9.714 when USS≥2 (95% CI 1.145-82.390). The AUC of independent USS in the diagnosis of AKI was 0.687 (95% CI 0.618-0.757, P<0.001), the specificity was 65.7% and the sensitivity was 61.9%. The AUC of USS combined with Bun, sCr, UA in the diagnosis of AKI was 0.794 (95% CI 0.608-0.980, P<0.05), the specificity was 82.4%, and the sensitivity was 88.9%. Conclusions:There wasan increased likelihood of renal AKI or stage 3 AKI while USS≥2,and whose combination with Bun, sCr and UA will improve the diagnostic efficiency of AKI.

The patients were divided into remimazolam group, dexmedetomidine group and propofol group by random number table method with 63 cases in each group. The patients in remimazolam group, dexmedetomidine group and propofol group were sedated with remimazolam, dexmedetomidine and propofol, respectively. The sedation standard time, sedation standard rate, sedation maintenance time and recovery time after drug withdrawal were compared among the three groups. The heart rate, mean arterial pressure (MAP), respiratory rate and pulse oxygen saturation (SpO 2) before medication (T 0) and medication for 15 min (T 1), 30 min (T 2), 1 h (T 3), 6 h (T 4), 12 h (T 5) were recorded. The incidences of bradycardia, hypotension, respiratory depression, body movement and delirium during sedation were recorded. Results:The sedation standard time and recovery time after drug withdrawal in remimazolam group were significantly shorter than those in dexmedetomidine group and propofol group: (22.27 ± 5.31) min vs. (29.45 ± 6.24) and (30.12 ± 5.87) min, (28.66 ± 7.06) min vs. (32.22 ± 6.85) and (34.34 ± 7.24) min, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05); there were no statistical difference between dexmedetomidine group and propofol group ( P>0.05). The sedation standard rate in remimazolam group and dexmedetomidine group was significantly higher than that in propofol group: 87.43% (661/756) and 83.60% (632/756) vs. 72.49% (548/756), and there was statistical difference ( P<0.016 7); there was no statistical difference between remimazolam group and dexmedetomidine group ( P>0.016 7). There was no statistical difference in sedation maintenance time among the three groups ( P>0.05). There were no statistical difference in T 0 heart rate, MAP, respiratory rate and SpO 2 among the three groups ( P>0.05). The T 1 to T 5 heart rate and MAP in remimazolam group were significantly higher than those in dexmedetomidine group and propofol group, the T 2 to T 5 heart rate and MAP in dexmedetomidine group were significantly lower than those in propofol group, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The T 2 to T 5 respiratory rate in remimazolam group was significantly lower than that in dexmedetomidine group, the T 1 to T 5 respiratory rate in remimazolam group and dexmedetomidine group was significantly higher than that in propofol group, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The T 2 to T 5 SpO 2 in remimazolam group and dexmedetomidine group was significantly higher than that in propofol group, and there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). The incidence of bradycardia in remimazolam group was significantly lower than that in dexmedetomidine group: 7.94% (5/63) vs. 25.40% (16/63), the incidence of hypotension was significantly lower than that in propofol group: 6.35% (4/63) vs. 23.81% (15/63), and there were statistical differences ( P<0.016 7). The incidence of respiratory depression in remimazolam group and dexmedetomidine group was significantly lower than that in propofol group: 4.76% (3/63) and 1.59% (1/63) vs. 22.22% (14/63), and there was statistical difference ( P<0.016 7). There was statistical difference in incidence of delirium among the three groups ( P<0.05), but there was no statistically significant difference in pairwise comparison ( P>0.016 7).

Conclusions:The effect of remimazolam sedation in ICU elderly patients undergoing mechanical ventilation is satisfactory, with little influence on circulation and respiratory system and few adverse reactions.

Objective To quantify the lower limb muscle synergy characteristics of athletes during the abdominal take-off phase before and after exercise-induced fatigue(EIF)and reveal the impact of EIF on the lower limb muscle synergy characteristics of athletes during the abdominal take-off phase.Methods The surface electromyographic data of the lower limbs during the abdominal take-off phase of 10 second-level male athletes in track and field special classes before and after EIF intervention were compared.Muscle synergy structures were analyzed before and after EIF.The paired sample t-test was used to compare the differences in synergy parameters before and after EIF.Results Two synergistic elements were extracted before and after EIF,and alternate activation of the muscle synergy structures was observed.After EIF,the degree of activation of synergy element 2 decreased significantly from 53.21±7.90 to 43.44±10.23.However,there was no significant change in synergy element 1.After EIF,the contribution of the rectus femoris muscle of synergy element 1 significantly increased from 0.37±0.04 to 0.44±0.07,and the contribution of the semitendinosus muscle decreased significantly from 0.13±0.05 to 0.08±0.05.Conclusions During abdominal take-off,as fatigue increases,the activation degree of the synergistic elements of each lower limb muscle decreases,and the contribution of the rectus femoris muscle in the synergy element to absorb the ground reaction force increases.This indicates that the rectus femoris muscle is at risk of sprain,and prevention of rectus femoris muscle injury should be strengthened.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective To construct a training program for retuming to work after delivery based on Morrison's job adaptation theory in operating room nurses and to explore its application effect.Methods On the basis of literature research and Delphi expert consultation method,a training program of postpartum return of operating room nurses was constructed.From August 2021 to December 2022,the preliminary application of this research program was carried out,with 6 cases in an experimental group and 5 cases in a control group.The differences between the 2 groups were compared by Job Adaptation Scale,Psychological Resilience Scale and satisfaction evaluation,and the application effect was evaluated.Results After 2 rounds of correspondence,a training program for postpartum return of operating room nurses was formed,which included 4 first-level indicators(role adaptation,task adaptation,environment adaptation and cultural adaptation),and 32 second-level indicators.The authority coefficients of the 2 rounds of correspondence consultation were 0.908 and 0.917,and the Kendall W coefficients were 0.224 and 0.206,respectively(both P＜0.001).The preliminary application results showed that there were statistically significant differences in job adaptation and satisfaction evaluation between the 2 groups(both P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in psychological resilience score between groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion The postpartum retum training program for operating room nurses established in this study is scientific and practical to a certain extent.In the future,samples can be expanded and multi-center studies can be carried out to further test the practicability and effectiveness of the program.

Objective:This investigation sought to delineate the associations among colorectal adenomatous polyps, diabetes, and biomolecules involved in glucose metabolism.Method:Data were collected from 40 patients who underwent endoscopic polypectomy at the Endoscopy Department of Shandong Cancer Hospital between June 2019 and September 2021. This cohort included 27 patients with inflammatory polyps and 13 with adenomatous polyps. We assessed fasting insulin (Fins), fasting blood glucose (FBG), and the mRNA expressions of fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF-19) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) in the polyp tissues. Both univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were employed to ascertain the determinants influencing the emergence of adenomatous polyps. From these analyses, a predictive nomogram was constructed to forecast the occurrence of adenomatous polyps, and evaluations on the discriminative capacity, calibration, and clinical utility of the model were conducted.Results:The adenomatous polyp group exhibited markedly elevated levels of glucose, insulin, FGF-19, and IGF-1, with respective concentrations of (8.67±2.70) mmol/L, (12.72±7.69) μU/L, 2.20±1.88, and 1.36±0.69. These figures were significantly higher compared to the inflammatory polyp group, which showed levels of (5.51±0.72) mmol/L, (5.49±2.68) μU/L, 0.53±0.97, and 0.41±0.46, respectively, P=0.001. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that the relative expression of IGF-1 served as an independent risk factor for the development of colorectal adenomatous polyps ( OR=5.622, 95% CI:1.085-29.126). The nomogram displayed a C-index of 0.849, indicating substantial discriminative capability. The calibration curve affirmed the model's accuracy in aligning predicted probabilities with actual outcomes, and the clinical decision curve demonstrated thepractical clinical applicability of the model. Conclusions:There was a significant correlation between the occurrence of colorectal adenomatous polyps and glucose metabolic pathways. Individuals with diabetes showed a higher propensity to develop such polyps.

Background and aims:Liver cirrhosis is a complex disease that may result in increased morbidity and mortality following bariatric surgery(BS).This study aimed to explore the outcome of BS in patients with unexpected cirrhosis,focusing on postoperative complications and the progression of liver disease. Methods:A retrospective study of bariatric patients with cirrhosis from four centers in China between 2016 and 2023 was conducted,with follow-up for one year after BS.The primary outcome was the safety of BS in patients with unexpected cirrhosis,while the secondary outcome was the metabolic efficacy of BS in this group postoperatively. Results:A total of 47 patients met the study criteria,including 46 cases of Child-Pugh class A cirrhosis and 1 case of Child-Pugh B.Pathological examination confirmed nodular cirrhosis in 21 patients(44.68％),pseudolobule formation in 1 patient(2.13％),lipedema degeneration with inflammatory cell infiltration in 3 patients(6.38％),and chronic hepatitis in 1 patient(2.13％).The average percentage of total weight loss was 29.73±6.53％at one year postoperatively.During the 30-day postoperative period,the complication rate was 6.38％,which included portal vein thrombosis,gastrointestinal bleeding,and intra-abdominal infection.Moreover,no cases of liver decompensation or mortality were reported during the follow-up period.The remission rates of comorbidities among 41 patients one year after surgery were as fol-lows:dyslipidemia 100％,type 2 diabetes 82.61％,hypertension 84.62％,and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome 85.71％. Conclusions:BS can be safely performed in patients with unexpected cirrhosis in the compensated stage of liver disease,with low postoperative morbidity and no mortality observed during one-year follow-up.

Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common malignancy of the liver and poses serious health burdens on China and the whole world. However， most patients with hepatocellular carcinoma are already in the advanced stage at the time of diagnosis， with fewer opportunities for surgery and limited treatment options. In recent years， the advances in molecular targeted therapies have brought new hope for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. Among these therapies， lenvatinib is the second first-line drug after sorafenib approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma， and it has attracted widespread attention for its powerful anti-tumor properties. However， the efficacy of lenvatinib is severely limited by its drug resistance. This article reviews the research advances in the molecular mechanisms of lenvatinib resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma and discusses possible ways to improve the efficacy of lenvatinib， so as to improve its efficacy.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of different acupuncture schemes on behaviors, neurotransmitters and inflammation-related factors in post-stroke depressed (PSD) rats. MethodsA total of 72 healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group, drug control group, scalp acupuncture group, abdominal acupuncture group and combined acupuncture group, 12 rats in each group. The PSD model was prepared using a combination of middle cerebral artery occlusion and chronic unpredictable mild stimulation (CUMS) for the model and each intervention groups. The drug control group was administered fluoxetine, the scalp acupuncture group accepted acupuncture at Baihui (DU 20) and Yintang (EX-HN3), while the abdominal acupuncture group at Zhongwan (RN 12) and Guanyuan (RN 4), the combined acupuncture group at all the four acupoints, for 21 days. They were assessed with Longa neurological function score, body mass, open-field test and sugar-water preference test on the 0 (before modeling), the seventh (before CUMS), the 14th (before treatment) and the 35th day (after treatment). The levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), dopamine (DA), norepinephrine (NE), interferon-γ (INF-γ), tumor necrosis factor⁃α (TNF⁃α) and macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in the serum were determined with ELISA on the 35th day. Results The neurological function score was lower in the drug control group and the combined acupuncture group thanin the model group (P < 0.01) on the 35th day; while the body mass was higher in the drug control group, the abdominal acupuncture group and the combined acupuncture group than in the model group (P < 0.01); and the number of horizontal span frames, the number of uprightness and the sugar water consumption were higher in the drug control group, the scalp acupuncture group, the abdominal acupuncture group and the combined acupuncture group than in the model group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference among the four intervention groups (P > 0.05). The levels of 5-HT, DA and NE were higher in the four intervention groups than in the model group (P < 0.01), and the levels of IFN-γ, TNF⁃α and MIF were lower (P < 0.01). 5-HT level was higher in the combined acupuncture group than in the scalp acupuncture group and the abdominal acupuncture group, and the levels of IFN-γ, TNF⁃α and MIF were lower (P < 0.01); the levels of DA and NE was higher in the combined acupuncture group than in the abdominal acupuncture group (P < 0.01). ConclusionThe combination of scalp acupuncture and abdominal acupuncture can improve behavior, neurotransmitters and inflammatory factors of PSD rats, like fluoxetine. Scalp or abdominal acupuncture alone is still effecive, and can be used secondarily.
