ObjectiveTo investigate the imaging features of calcium salt deposition and serological markers in patients with alveolar echinococcosis through a retrospective analysis， as well as independent risk factors for the degree of calcium salt deposition in lesions， and to provide a basis for assessing disease process. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the imaging and clinical data of 107 patients with alveolar echinococcosis who were admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Shihezi University from December 2023 to June 2025， and according to the volume of calcium salt deposition， they were divided into non-deposition group with 16 patients， mild deposition group with 52 patients， moderate deposition group with 16 patients， and severe deposition group with 23 patients. A one-way analysis of variance or the Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison of continuous data between groups， and the χ² test or Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. The four groups were further combined into the low deposition group （no/mild deposition） and the high deposition group （moderate/severe deposition）. A binary logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the independent influencing factors for calcium salt deposition， and a predictive model was established. The receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve was used to assess the predictive performance of the model， and the Bootstrap method was used for internal validation. ResultsThere were significant differences between the four groups in sex distribution， involvement of other sites， white blood cell count， lymphocyte percentage， fibrinogen， uric acid， sodium ion， chloride ion， and calcium ion （all P<0.05）. The univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences between the four groups in sex， involvement of other sites， white blood cell count， lymphocyte percentage， fibrinogen， alanine aminotransferase， albumin， creatinine， uric acid， sodium ion， chloride ion， and calcium ion （all P<0.1）. The multi-collinearity diagnosis showed that the VIF values for all continuous variables ranged from 1.104 to 1.760， suggesting that collinearity did not affect modeling. An ordinal logistic regression model was established based on sex， involvement of other sites， calcium ion， lymphocyte percentage， and uric acid. The multivariate analysis showed that lymphocyte percentage （odds ratio ［OR］=1.106， 95% confidence interval ［CI］： 1.041 — 1.174， P=0.001） and blood calcium level （OR=0.005， 95%CI： 0.000 —0.230， P=0.007） were independent influencing factors for the degree of calcium salt deposition. The regression equation was established as Logit（P）=8.231 + 0.100 × lymphocyte percentage -5.344 × calcium ion. The ROC curve analysis showed that the model had an area under the ROC curve of 0.716， with a Youden index of 0.353， a sensitivity of 1.000， and a specificity of 0.353. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed that the model had poor calibration （χ²=20.688， P=0.008）. The Bootstrap method with 1000 repeated samples showed that the estimated values of lymphocyte percentage （OR=1.106， 95%CI： 1.049 — 1.186， P=0.002） and calcium ion （OR=0.005， 95%CI： 0.000 — 0.214， P=0.010） were consistent with the original model， and the confidence intervals did not include 1， which further supported the reliability of the model. ConclusionBoth lymphocyte percentage and blood calcium level are independent influencing factors for calcium salt deposition in alveolar echinococcosis， and the degree of calcium salt deposition in alveolar echinococcosis lesions increases with the reduction in blood calcium level and the increase in lymphocyte percentage.

OBJECTIVE To understand the disinfectant-resistant genes in the gram-negative bacteria isolated from the dirt retention on air recure filters of air conditioners and observe the drug resistance.METHODS The dirt re-tention samples were collected from the air return filters of air conditioners of some wards in 3 hospitals of Wuhan(Tongji Hospital of Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology,Wuhan Central Hospital,and Hubei Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital)from 2018 to 2024.The gram-negative bac-teria were screened out,the disinfectant-resistant genes in the strains were detected by polymerase chain reaction(PCR),and the results of drug susceptibility test were analyzed.RESULTS Of 354 dirt retention samples that were collected from the air return filers of air conditioners,77 were detected with 138 strains of gram-negative bacteria,87 of which were Acinetobacter baumannii,50 were Enterobacteriaceae,and 1 was Pseudomonas aerug-inosa.The detection rates of qacEΔ1,qacEΔ1-sul1,aceI and qacA/B were 73.19％,82.61％,69.57％and 2.90％,respectively.None of the strains were detected with qacC,qacH or qacJ.The result of drug susceptibility test showed that 76.81％of the gram-negative bacteria were resistant to at least 1 type of antibiotic;93 strains of multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria were isolated,most of which were isolated from intensive care unit(ICU).The detection rates of qacEΔ1 and qacEΔ1-sul1 were higher in the drug-resistant strains than those in the non-drug-resistant strains;there were significant differences in the drug resistance rates to carbapenems,quin-olones and β-lactams between the qacEΔ1-sul 1-positive strains and the qacEΔ1-sul1-negative strains(P＜0.05).CONCLUSIONS There are drug-resistant gram-negative bacteria contaminations in some wards of the 3 hospitals in Wuhan.The carrying rates of disinfectant-resistant genes of the strains are high,and the strains show varying degree of resistance to the commonly used antibiotics;the strains carrying the qacEΔ1-sul1 have certain statistical association with the drug resistance.It is suggested that the hospital should take targeted disinfec-tion measures for the environment and reasonably use antibiotics.

Objective:To explore the correlation between intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy(ICP)and ad-verse pregnancy outcomes.Methods:A total of 511 singleton pregnant women with ICP treated at The Third Affili-ated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from August 2017 to January 2024 were selected as the study sub-jects.Among them,patients were divided into the adverse pregnancy outcome group(n=49)and the control group without adverse pregnancy outcomes(n=462).The general and clinical data of the two groups were com-pared and analyzed.Results:①General situation:The number of pregnancies and deliveries,ICU transfer rate,total hospital stay,and total hospitalization costs were significantly higher in the adverse pregnancy outcome group compared to the control group(P<0.05).The number of prenatal check-ups,diagnostic gestational weeks,and gestational weeks at delivery were significantly lower compared to the control group(P<0.05).②Clinical symp-toms:The incidence of itching in the adverse pregnancy outcome group was lower compared to the control group(10.2%vs.26.6%,P<0.05),while other symptoms such as rash,fatigue,jaundice,and gastrointestinal symp-toms showed no significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05).③Laboratory examinations:Compared with the control group,patients in the adverse pregnancy outcome group had significantly the increased levels of alanine aminotransferase,aspartate aminotransferase,uric acid,urea nitrogen,and triglycerides,and significantly the decreased levels of alkaline phosphatase and fasting blood glucose,with statistical significance(P<0.05).Other biochemical indicators showed no significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05).④ICP grading and complications:The proportion of early-onset ICP,severe and very severe ICP in the adverse pregnancy out-come group was significantly higher compared to the control group(P<0.001);the proportion of adverse preg-nancy outcome group with pregnancy-induced hypertension was significantly higher compared to the control group;the incidence of preterm birth,fetal growth restriction,meconium-stained amniotic fluid,and fetal distress in the adverse pregnancy outcome group was significantly higher compared to the control group(P<0.001).⑤Neo-natal outcomes:The neonatal Apgar scores(1 min,5 min,10 min)and neonatal weight in the adverse pregnancy outcome group were lower compared to the control group(P<0.001),and the incidence of mild neonatal asphyx-ia was significantly higher,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.001).Conclusions:The severity of ICP is closely related to the occurrence of adverse pregnancy outcomes.Therefore,it is clinically necessary to pay at-tention to the grading of ICP,closely monitor the levels of total bile acids and liver enzymes,and try to avoid ad-verse pregnancy outcomes,especially intrauterine fetal death.

Objective To investigate residents'willingness to use"internet+nursing services"of a community in Xiamen City and provide reference for the code of practice to promote the service.Methods A total of 350 community residents in Xiamen City were investigated by convenience sampling from January to December 2023.The questionnaire was self-designed with regard to their willingness to use"internet+nursing services".Results 336 questionnaires were effectively collected.The total score of willingness to use"internet+nursing services"of community residents in Xiamen City was(68.80±8.73)points,but only 19.6％of residents knew about"internet+nursing services".There were statistically significant differences in willingness to use among community residents with different ages,medical payment type,whether they knew"internet+nursing services"or not,and the number of service items needed(P＜0.05).Among them,age,whether they knew"internet+nursing services"or not and the number of service items needed were the main influencing factors of willingness to use(P＜0.05).Conclusion Community residents in Xiamen City show above the middle level of willingness to use"internet+nursing services".However,the popularity of"internet+nursing services"has a large room for improvement.The publicity to the residents should be strengthened,and the care needs of residents with different demographic characteristics should be considered.The supporting application functions of such platforms should be designed to meet the health needs of community residents,especially elderly patients with great demand for services.

Objective:To investigate the effect of aucubin(AU)on mitochondrial autophagy in the hippocampus of ischemic stroke(IS)rats by regulating the pten-induced kinase protein 1(PINK1)/cytoplasmic E3-ubiquitin ligase(Parkin)signaling pathway.Methods:The IS rat model was established by middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO),and was randomly divided into IS group,low-dose AU group(AU-L),medium-dose AU group(AU-M),high-dose AU group(AU-H),and high-dose AU combined with 3-MA group(AU-H+3-MA).The rats without liga-tion were used as the Sham surgery group.Zea Longa score was used to evaluate the neurological function of rats.TTC staining was used to detect the percentage of cerebral infarction volume.The microstructures of mitochondria were observed by transmission electron microscopy,and the changes of autophagy protein-microtubule associated protein light chain 3B(LC3B)and p62 were detected by immunohistochemistry.Hippocampal apoptosis was detected by TUNEL.PINK1/Parkin-related protein expression in hippocampus was detected by Western blot.Results:Neurological function score of IS rats was increased(P＜0.05),cerebral infarction was observed by TTC staining,the expression of mito-chondrial autophagy protein p62 in hippocampus was up-regulated(P＜0.05),the expression of LC3B was down-regu-lated(P＜0.05),the number of autophagosomes was decreased(P＜0.05),and apoptosis in hippocampus was in-creased(P＜0.05),the expression of PINK1 and ARKIN protein in hippocampus was down-regulated(P＜0.05).After AU intervention,the neural function score of rats was decreased,the percentage of cerebral infarction volume was reduced,the positive expression of p62 in hippocampus was down-regulated(P＜0.05),the positive expression of LC3B was up-regulated(P＜0.05),and the number of autophagosomes was increased(P＜0.05),the apoptosis of hippocampus was decreased(P＜0.05),and the expression of PINK1 and ARKIN protein in hippocampus was in-creased(P＜0.05).3-MA blocked the therapeutic effect of AU and aggravated the nerve injury in rats.Conclusion:AU promotes hippocampal mitochondrial autophagy and improves neurological damage in IS rats by activating the PINK1/Parkin signaling pathway.
