OBJECTIVE To explore the risk factors for postoperative surgical site infection(SSI)in the neurosur-gery department patients undergoing craniocerebral surgeries and establish Nomogram prediction model and verify it.METHODS A total of 1 265 patients who underwent craniocerebral surgeries in neurosurgery department of the First Hospital of Quanzhou City from Jan.2021 to Dec.2022 were recruited as the research subjects.The risk factors for the postoperative SSI were explored by logistic regression model.The Nomogram prediction model was established based on the independent risk factors that were screened by logistic regression analysis,and the model was verified.RESULTS Among 1 265 patients who underwent the craniocerebral surgeries,68 had SSI,with the infection rate of 5.38％.Diabetes mellitus,NNIS score no less than 2 points,NRS2002 score no less than 3 points,operation duration no less than 4.33 hours and drainage tube indwelling time more than 3 days were the independent risk factors for the postoperative SSI in the patients undergoing craniocerebral surgeries(P＜0.05).The area under the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve(AUC)of the established Nomogram pre-diction model was 0.842 in the training group,0.863 in the verification group.the calibration curves were drawn,the goodness of fit of the established Nomogram risk prediction model was assessed by means of Hosmer-Leme-show test;the predicted probability of SSI was highly consistent with the actual probability of infection,with the modeling group(P=0.851),the validation group(P=0.893).CONCLUSIONS The postoperative SSI in the neurosurgery department patients undergoing craniocerebral surgeries is closely associated with the diabe-tes mellitus,NNIS score no less than 2 points,NRS2002 score no less than 3 points,operation duration no less than 4.33 hours and drainage tube indwelling time more than 3 days.The established Nomogram prediction model has high prediction capability and can accurately assess the risk of SSI in the patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of tritiated water on the immune system of zebrafish and its potential molecular mechanism. Methods Zebrafish embryos (2.5 to 3 hours post-fertilization [hpf]) were exposed to 3.7 × 10⁴ Bq/mL tritiated water (tritiated water group), and those exposed to E3 culture medium were used as the control group. The mortality rate, hatching rate, deformity rate, heart rate, body length, yolk sac area, neutrophil count in the tail, immune-related gene expression, and immune-related protein expression of zebrafish in the two groups were determined. Then transcriptome technology was used to further analyze the possible mechanism of tritiated water affecting the immune system of zebrafish. Results Compared with the control group, zebrafish at 72 hpf in the tritiated water group had no significant changes in the mortality rate, hatching rate, deformity rate, body length, and yolk sac area((t = 0.9045, 0.5000, 1.0000, 0.7238, 0.0337, P = 0.4169, 0.6433, 0.3739, 0.4785, 0.9735), but had significantly increased heart rate(t = 4.575，P = 0.002). At 4 days post-fertilization (dpf), the neutrophil count in the tail of zebrafish in the tritiated water group was significantly increased(t = 2.563，P = 0.0196), the mRNA expression of TNF-α was significantly decreased(t = 2.891, P = 0.045), the protein expression of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) was significantly increased(t = 3.848, P = 0.018), and the protein expression of NLRP3 was significantly decreased(t = 14.98, P = 0.001). At 7 dpf, the neutrophil count in the tail and the protein expression levels of NF-κB, NLRP3, and interleukin-1β were significantly decreased(t = 3.772, 7.048, 15.620, 4.423, P = 0.014, 0.002, 0.0001, 0.012). Transcriptome sequencing revealed that differentially expressed genes were mainly enriched in the “neutrophil activation” and “platelet activation pathways” at 4 dpf and in the “neutrophil apoptosis”, “ferroptosis”, and “necroptosis” pathways at 7 dpf. Conclusion Tritiated water exposure induces a temporally dynamic immune response in zebrafish, potentially affecting immune homeostasis by regulating neutrophil activation and apoptosis, as well as the expression of NF-κB and NLRP3.

Objective To develop a gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(GC-MS/MS)method for the simultaneous determination of ephedrine and pseudoephedrine in urine.Methods Urine samples containing ephedrine and pseudoephedrine components were extracted with ethyl acetate,centrifuged to collect the supernatant and evaporated to dryness under a nitrogen stream and then derivatized with heptafluorobutyric anhydride 60 μL at 70 ℃ for 30 min,and re-evaporated under nitrogen,and then solubilized with 50 μL of methanol,and then analyzed by GC-MS/MS.Results The method demonstraed excellent linearity for ephedrine(0.05～10 μg/mL,r=0.999 8)and pseudoephedrine(0.02～5 μg/mL,r=0.999 5).Extraction recoveries ranged from 89.4％～95.8％(ephedrine)and 90.3％～93.8％(pseudoephedrine).Limits of detection and quantification of ephedrine and pseudoephedrine were 0.005 μg/mL and 0.01 μg/mL,the intra-day precision and accuracy were less than 5.87％and 9.56％,respectively,and the inter-day precision and accuracy were less than 7.54％and 9.27％,respectively.The stability of ephedrine and pseudoephedrine in urine in 15 d was good under the conditions of room temperature and-20 ℃.Conclusion The GC-MS/MS analytical method for the analysis of ephedrine and pseudoephedrine components in urine established in this study is accurate,stable and sensitive,which can provide data technical support for the forensic toxicological analysis of amphetamine-type drugs or new psychoactive substances in the cathinone group.

Objective To compare the blood flow perfusion area in different retinal vascular plexuses between adults and children using swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography(SS-OCTA)and explore the correlation of the retinal blood flow perfusion area with spherical equivalent(SE)and axial length(AL).Methods A total of 112 partici-pants,including 58 children(116 eyes,aged 8-13 years)and 54 adults(108 eyes,aged 18-30 years),were recruited from Eye Hospital,Wenzhou Medical University from December 2020 to December 2024.Based on SE,these children and adults were further divided into the emmetropia(-0.50＜SE ≤+0.50 D),low myopia(-3.00＜SE≤-0.50 D),and moderate myopia(-6.00＜SE≤-3.00 D)groups.SS-OCTA was used to acquire the perfusion area data across retinal vascular layers.The inner vascular network of the retina was subdivided into the peripapillary radial vascular network,su-perficial vascular plexus(SVP),middle vascular plexus(MVP),and deep vascular plexus(DVP).The blood flow perfu-sion areas across retinal vascular layers were compared between adults and children.Pearson correlation analysis was per-formed to assess the correlation of the blood flow perfusion areas across retinal vascular layers with AL and SE in adults and children,respectively.Results SE was negatively correlated with AL in both adults and children(r=-0.781 and-0.667,respectively;both P＜0.001).The total inner retinal perfusion area was negatively correlated with AL in both adults and children(r=-0.239 and-0.299,respectively;both P＜0.05).In children,the perfusion area in the peripapil-lary radial vascular network,SVP,and DVP was negatively correlated with AL(r=-0.443,-0.315,and-0.220,respec-tively;all P＜0.05).In adults,the perfusion area in SVP,MVP,and DVP was negatively correlated with AL(r=-0.243,-0.230,and-0.364,respectively;all P＜0.05).Adults with low/moderate myopia exhibited a significantly larger perfu-sion area in the peripapillary radial vascular network compared with children with corresponding myopia levels,and the differences were statistically significant(both P＜0.001).Conclusion There were significant differences in the perfu-sion area of the peripapillary radial vascular network between adult and pediatric myopic patients.AL showed the strongest correlations with the perfusion area of the peripapillary radial vascular network in adults and the perfusion area of DVP in children,respectively,suggesting distinct effects of retinal vascular layers at different stages of ocular growth.

Objective:To analyze the trend of infertility disease burden from 1990 to 2019 and predict the age-standardized prevalence rate (ASPR) and age-standardized disability-adjusted life-year (DALY) rate of male and female infertility for 2020—2029, providing a certain reference for the prevention and treatment of infertility diseases.Methods:Based on the Global Burden of Disease 2019, prevalence, ASPR, DALY rate, and age-standardized DALY rate were used to evaluate the global burden of infertility comprehensively. The estimated annual percentage change was used to describe trends in the disease burden of infertility in 21 regions worldwide. The Bayesian age period cohort model was used to predict the ASPR and age-standardized DALY rate for male and female infertility in 204 countries and regions from 2020 to 2029. Sensitivity analysis was performed using the autoregressive integrated moving average model.Results:The prevalence, DALY rate, ASPR and age-standardized DALY rate of global male infertility increased from 319.52 per 100 000,1.82 per 100 000, 2 856.53 per 100 000, and 16.19 per 100 000 in 1990 to 565.30 per 100 000, 3.22 per 100 000, 3 398.53 per 100 000, and 19.36 per 100 000 in 2019, respectively. The prevalence, DALY rate, ASPR, and age-standardized DALY rate of global female infertility increased from 656.67 per 100 000, 3.53 per 100 000, 6 036.36 per 100 000, and 32.27 per 100 000 in 1990 to 1 223.78 per 100 000, 6.59 per 10 000, 7 483.12 per 100 000, and 40.33 per 100 000 in 2019, respectively. The burden of infertility disease was the highest in men and women aged 30-34 years, and the ASPR and age-standardized DALY rates were 4 407.47 per 100 000, 25.08 per 100 000, 10 270.55 per 100 000 and 55.65 per 100 000, respectively. Only in 45-49 years of age, the prevalence of infertility (11.31 per 100 000) and DALY rate (0.06 per 100 000) in women were lower than those in men (15.68 per 100 000 and 0.08 per 100 000). In addition, the burden of infertility was the lowest in high socio-demographic index regions. Cameroon had the highest ASPR (7 652.40 per 100 000) and age-standardized DALY rate (43.94 per 100 000) for male infertility. Chinese women had the highest ASPR (20 402.30 per 100 000) and age-standardized DALY rate (106.16 per 100 000) of infertility. The forecast results show that the burden of male and female infertility diseases will increase in 204 countries and regions from 2020 to 2029.Conclusion:The burden of infertility diseases in men and women increased in 204 countries and regions from 1990 to 2019, and it is predicted that the global burden of infertility diseases will continue to rise in 2020—2029. Preliminary screening of infertility should be carried out as soon as possible, health education should be strengthened and effective prevention and treatment strategies should be formulated.

Objective To construct a risk prediction model of mild cognitive impairment(MCI)in the Chinese elderly population based on ensemble learning methods and verify it,to intervene in time and delay the progression of MCI.Methods A total of 8691 elderly people in the Chinese longitudinal health longevity study(CLHLS)from 2008 to 2018 were selected as the research objects,and the data from 2008 to 2014 were used as the training set.Data from 2014 to 2018 as a validation set.The Chinese version of the mini-mental state examination(CMMSE)was used to assess the cognitive status of the participants.Recursive feature elimination-random forest(RFE-RF),Boruta,mutual information(MI),and extra trees classifier(ETC)identified the predictors and screened out the common predictors.Use logistic regression(LR),random forest(RF),linear discriminant analysis(LDA),K-nearest neighbors(KNN),and na?ve bayes(NB)as the five single basic models,and a stacking ensemble model that integrates these basic models to predict the risk of mild cognitive impairment in elderly Chinese.Accuracy,precision,recall,and F1-score,as well as the area under the receiver operating characteristic(AUROC)and the area under the precision-recall curve(AUPRC),were used to evaluate the performance of the models.Results The performance of the stacking ensemble model under different feature selection algorithms is superior to any single base model,with AUROC greater than 0.9 in all cases.The feature selection algorithm ETC+stacking ensemble model performs best,and the AUROC and AUPRC in the test set are 0.912 and 0.872,respectively.Conclusion The stacking model shows superior performance in predicting MCI.This provides strong support for the strategy of healthy aging in China by timely identifying the high-risk groups of MCI,reducing the heavy burden of MCI brought by the elderly.
