Objective To understand the influencing factors of chronic dyslipidemia in T2DM patients who signed a contract for diabetes point system management in Qingpu District, and to provide a basis for comprehensive intervention and prevention and control of dyslipidemia in T2DM patients and to optimize the management strategy of Qingpu District diabetes point system. Methods Among the T2DM patients who signed the diabetes point system from 2017 to 2023, patients with chronic dyslipidemia and normal blood lipids were selected and included in the case group and the control group, respectively. A case-control study was conducted with 1:1 matching by age and gender to analyze the factors influencing dyslipidemia. Results Multifactorial paired logistic regression analysis showed that overweight/obesity and central obesity and smoking in T2DM patients increased the risk of dyslipidemia by 1.93, 2.27, and 2.16 times, respectively. Long-term use of lipid-lowering drugs, duration of diabetes for 5 years or more, regular physical exercise, knowledge of blood lipid status, and married status could reduce the risk of dyslipidemia in T2DM patients (OR values were 0.547, 0.452, 0.685, 0.386 and 0.354, respectively). Current complications (history of stroke, coronary heart disease, and renal insufficiency) were also associated with dyslipidemia (OR=1.802, 95% CI:1.125-2.888). Conclusion The management of diabetes point system in Qingpu District should strengthen the feedback and interpretation of blood lipid monitoring results, improve patients’ health awareness of blood lipid management, and actively take comprehensive management of lifestyle intervention and drug treatment to effectively control blood lipid and reduce the occurrence of related complications.

OBJECTIVES:
To investigate the therapeutic mechanism of Thesium chinense Turcz. (TCT) for antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD).
METHODS:
Network pharmacology, KEGG pathway enrichment analysis and molecular docking were used to identify the shared targets and genes of TCT and AAD, the key signaling pathways and the binding between the active components in TCT and the core protein targets. In a Kunming mouse model of AAD established by intragastric administration of lincomycin hydrochloride, the effects of daily gavage of 1% carboxymethyl cellulose sodium or TCT gel solutions at 1.5 g/kg and 3 g/kg (n=10) on body weight and diarrhea were observed. HE staining, ELISA, 16S rRNA sequencing, and Western blotting were used to examine pathologies, expression levels of IL-6 and TNF-α, changes in gut microbiota, and protein expressions of EGFR, p-EGFR, PI3K, p-PI3K, Akt, and p-Akt in the colon tissues of the mice.
RESULTS:
We identified a total of 66 active components of TCT and 68 core targets including EGFR, STAT3 and PIK3CA. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis suggested that the therapeutic effects of TCT was mediated primarily through the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Molecular docking showed that EGFR had the highest binding affinity with coniferin, and the EGFR-coniferin complex maintained a stable conformation at 10 ns, whose stability was also confirmed by Gibbs free energy analysis. In the mouse models of AAD, treatment with TCT significantly improved colonic tissue morphology, decreased colonic levels of TNF-α and IL-6, increased gut microbiota diversity, and modulated the relative abundances of the key genera including Lactobacillus and Bacteroides. TCT treatment also markedly reduced protein expressions of p-EGFR, p-PI3K and p-Akt in the colon tissues of the mice.
CONCLUSIONS
TCT can alleviate AAD in mice by modulating gut microbiota composition, regulating the EGFR/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, and reducing TNF‑α and IL-6 expressions.

Objective:To investigate the effect of behavioral lifestyle on the CT values of urinary tract stones, as well as the relationship between behavioral lifestyle and the therapeutic effect of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL).Methods:A total of 265 patients with urinary tract stones who underwent ESWL treatment at Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from January 2019 to June 2023 were selected. According to the CT values of the stones, the subjects were divided into high CT value group (CT value > 1 000 HU, n=106) and low CT value group (CT value ≤ 1 000 HU, n=159). A retrospective survey was conducted to assess the patients' behavioral lifestyles, and general data, CT values, number of lithotripsy sessions, lithotripsy time, lithotripsy efficiency, and incidence of complications were compared between the two groups. SPSS 22.0 software was used for statistical analysis. The χ2 test and t-test were used for group comparisons, and Pearson correlation analysis was used to examine the relationship between stone CT values and different behavioral lifestyles. Results:The high CT value group had lower average daily water intake((1 242±347)mL vs (1 784±376)mL), average daily fresh fruit intake((135±43)g vs (196±51)g), and average daily exercise time((18±12)min vs (32±14)min) compared with the low CT value group( t=-11.850, -9.926, -8.434, all P<0.01). In contrast, the high CT value group had higher average daily salt intake((8.3±2.2)g vs (6.5±1.7)g) and average daily animal protein intake ((72±18)g vs (54±16)g) compared with the low CT value group ( t=7.495, 8.531, both P<0.01). The high CT value group required more lithotripsy sessions and longer lithotripsy time than the low CT value group ( t=6.192, 7.507, both P<0.05), while lithotripsy efficiency was lower than the low CT value group ( χ2=33.181, P<0.01). The incidence of complications was higher in the high CT value group compared to the low CT value group ( χ2=3.915, P=0.048), with statistically significant differences. Conclusion:Appropriate water intake, diet, and exercise habits are beneficial in reducing stone CT values, improving the efficacy of ESWL treatment, and decreasing the incidence of complications.

Objective:To explore the value of conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) sequence and pathological examination in predicting the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in advanced breast cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 65 cases of advanced breast cancer with NAC confirmed by pathology in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from March 2022 to May 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including 20 cases in the pathological complete remission (pCR) group and 45 cases in the non pCR group; All patients underwent routine MRI, DWI, DKI examinations and pathological analysis. The clinical pathological data, routine MRI features, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values, mean kurtosis coefficient (MK), and mean diffusion coefficient (MD) between the two groups were analyzed; We compared the differences in various parameters between two groups and plotted receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves to compare their diagnostic efficacy of NAC in breast cancer.Results:There were significant differences in molecular typing, estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her-2) and Ki-67 between pCR group and non pCR group (all P<0.05). In pCR group, Her-2 overexpression type and triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) type breast cancer were more common. ER and PR were mostly negative, Her-2 was mostly positive, and Ki 67 was mainly positive. The difference in tumor T2WI signal between the pCR group and the non pCR group was statistically significant ( P<0.05), with the pCR group showing mostly moderate/low T2WI signal. The ADC and MD values of the pCR group were lower than those of the non pCR group, while the MK value of the pCR group was higher than that of the non pCR group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.001). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for predicting the efficacy of NAC using a clinical pathological model was 0.829, which was higher than the AUC of molecular subtypes, ER, PR, Her-2, and Ki-67 ( Z=3.008, 2.697, 2.815, 2.131, 2.376, all P<0.05); The AUC of the DKI+ DWI predicting the efficacy of NAC was 0.934, which was higher than that of the DWI single sequence model, and the difference in type was statistically significant ( Z=2.396, P=0.017). The diagnostic efficacy of the DKI+ DWI model was higher than that of the single parameter ADC, MD, and MK, and the differences were statistically significant ( Z=2.396, 2.219, 2.161, all P<0.05); The AUC of the combined imaging and pathology model was 0.983, and its diagnostic efficacy was higher than that of the conventional MRI feature model, pathology model, DWI model, and DKI model, with statistically significant differences ( Z=5.877, 2.961, 3.240, 2.264, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The results of pathology, conventional MRI, DWI and DKI parameters of pCR and non pCR breast cancer patients are significantly different, and the combined model is better than the single model in predicting the efficacy of NAC.

Objective To establish a rat model of hyperuricemic nephropathy(HN)using a multifactorial induction method of potassium oxazinate combined with adenine and yeast feed to observe the intervention effect of Qiling granules(QLG).Methods Fifty-eight SPF-grade male SD rats were selected,and 10 rats were randomly allocated to the normal control(NC)group.The remaining rats were induced by multiple factors to establish HN rat models.After 2 weeks of modeling,submandibular blood samples were taken to detect serum UA,CREA,BUN,TG,and TC.Forty HN rats with bleeding clearance UA and body weight close to the mean were selected.They were randomly divided into a model(M)group,QLG low dose(QLG-L)groups,QLG high dose(QLG-H)group,and a positive control(PC)group,with 10 rats in each group,using a stratified randomization method.Each group was given corresponding drugs by gavage daily,and after continuous administration for 4 weeks,submandibular blood samples were taken to detect serum UA,CREA,BUN,TG,and TC.After euthanasia of the rats,liver tissue was taken to detect XOD and ADA activity.Renal tissue was taken for HE and Gomori hexamine silver staining,and the protein expression of GLUT9,OAT1,VCAM-1,and TGF-β in the kidneys was observed using immunohistochemistry and Western blot method.Results Compared with the NC group,the M group's serum levels of UA,CREA,BUN,TC,and TG,as well as liver XOD and ADA activities,were significantly increased(P<0.01).The renal tissue of the model rats showed significant pathological changes.The area of renal tubules positive for urate and the expression of GLUT9,VCAM-1,and TGF-β proteins in the kidneys were significantly increased(P<0.01,P<0.05),while the expression of OAT1 was significantly reduced(P<0.01).Compared with the M group,each treatment group showed significantly reduced serum UA levels,liver XOD,ADA activity,and renal VCAM-1 protein expression(P<0.01,P<0.05).The serum CREA and BUN levels and renal TGF-β protein expression of rats in the QLG-L group were significantly reduced(P<0.05,P<0.01).The serum CREA and BUN levels and renal GLUT9 protein expression of rats in the QLG-H group were also significantly reduced(P<0.01,P<0.05).The urate deposition and renal injury caused by each treatment were reduced to varying degrees,but there were no significant differences among groups(P>0.05).Conclusions A stable HN rat model can be induced by gavage of potassium oxyzinate and adenine in combination with yeast feed.QLG can effectively treat HN by improving UA metabolic disorders,reducing the renal inflammation and urate deposition that cause renal damage in HN model rats.Its mechanism of action is related to a reduction in serum UA,CREA,BUN,and TG levels;liver XOD and ADA activities;and the expression of GLUT9,OAT1,VCAM-1,and TGF-β proteins in the kidneys.

Objective:To construct a nomogram model for differentiating gastric schwannoma (GS) from gastric stromal tumor (GST) (diameters 2 to 5 cm) based on CT imaging features before surgery.Methods:The clinical and imaging data of 49 patients with GS and 240 patients with GST in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from July 2009 to April 2023 and Guangdong Provincial People′s Hospital from June 2017 to September 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. The independent factors for differentiating GS from GST were obtained by multivariate Logistic regression analysis. The nomogram model was constructed by R4.3.1 software. The efficacy of the nomogram model for differentiating GS from GST was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve, and calibration curve and decision curve analysis were used to evaluate the predictive efficacy and clinical application value of the nomogram model.Results:There were no statistical differences in the clinical symptom rate, calcification rate, ulcer rate, tumor vessel rate, ratio of long diameter to short diameter and CT value difference during the arterial and nonenhanced phases (CTV A-N) between GS patients and GST patients ( P>0.05). The proportion of female, incidence of lesions located in central or lower part of stomach, extraluminal or mixed growth rate, tumor-associated lymph node rate, strong enhancement rate, CT value difference during the portal and nonenhanced phases (CTV P-N), CT value difference during the delayed and nonenhanced phases (CTV D-N), CT value difference during the portal and arterial phases (CTV P-A) and CT value difference during the delayed and portal phases (CTV D-P) in GS patients were significantly higher than those in GST patients: 75.51% (37/49) vs. 58.33% (140/240), 85.71% (42/49) vs. 54.17% (130/240), 75.51% (37/49) vs. 45.00% (108/240), 44.90% (22/49) vs. 5.42% (13/240), 51.02% (25/49) vs. 27.08% (65/240), 32.0 (26.0, 43.5) HU vs. 29.0 (22.0, 37.7) HU, (44.59 ± 13.46) HU vs. (32.94 ± 12.47) HU, 20.0 (11.5, 25.0) HU vs. 10.0 (5.0, 17.0) HU and 9.0 (6.0, 12.0) HU vs. 4.0 (-2.7, 7.0) HU, the age, irregular shape rate, cystic degeneration rate and heterogeneous enhancement rate were significantly lower than those in GST patients: (58.12 ± 12.59) years old vs. (62.05 ± 11.22) years old, 16.33% (8/49) vs. 38.33% (92/240), 18.37% (9/49) vs. 51.25% (123/240) and 34.69% (17/49) vs. 56.25% (135/240), and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05 or<0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis result showed that location, cystic degeneration, tumor-associated lymph node, CTV P-A and CTV D-P were the independent factors for differentiating GS from GST ( OR= 3.599, 0.201, 19.031, 1.124 and 1.160; 95% CI 1.184 to 10.938, 0.070 to 0.578, 6.159 to 58.809, 1.066 to 1.185 and 1.094 to 1.231; P<0.05 or<0.01). The nomogram model for differentiating GS from GST was constructed based on location, cystic degeneration, tumor-associated lymph node, CTV P-A and CTV D-P. The area under curve of the nomogram model for differentiating GS from GST was 0.924 (95% CI 0.887 to 0.951). The calibration curve analysis result showed that there was a good agreement between the predicted GS curve and the actual GS curve (the mean absolute error was 0.033). The result of the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test indicated that the calibration of the nomogram model was appropriate ( χ2 = 2.52, P = 0.961). The clinical decision curve analysis result showed that when the threshold for the nomogram model for differentiating the two tumors was>0.03, the nomogram yielded more net benefits than the "all patients treated as GS" or "all patients treated as GST" scenarios. Conclusions:The nomogram model based on CT imaging features can be used to differentiate GS from GST before surgery.
