BackgroundIndividuals with schizophrenia are prone to higher rates of hospital readmission, presenting significant clinical challenges and imposing considerable social burdens within the mental health domain. In recent years, various risk prediction models have been developed to forecast readmission in patients with schizophrenia and support clinical decision-making, but their predictive performance and clinical applicability require comprehensive evaluation. ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the risk prediction models for readmission in patients with schizophrenia, so as to provide insights for the development of high-performance and highly applicable readmission risk prediction models for patients with schizophrenia. MethodsOn July 5, 2025, a systematic literature search was conducted across multiple electronic databases, including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CINAHL, CNKI, China Biomedical Literature Database, Wanfang Database, and VIP Database, to identify risk prediction models for readmission in patients with schizophrenia. The search period was from the establishment of the databases to July 1, 2025. Two researchers independently performed literature screening, data extraction, risk of bias assessment, and applicability assessment. ResultsA total of 9 studies were included in this review, encompassing 18 risk prediction models for readmission in patients with schizophrenia. Among them, 4 models reported the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC), ranging from 0.734 to 0.820, 16 models provided AUC values of 0.642–0.879 for internal validation, and 1 model demonstrated an AUC of 0.841 for external validation. Key predictors included disease duration and the concomitant therapy of antipsychotic medications. The risk of bias was assessed as "high" in all included studies. ConclusionThe development of risk prediction models for readmission in patients with schizophrenia remains in an exploratory stage. Although the model exhibits favorable predictive performance, it is associated with a high risk of bias and insufficient performance evaluation.

[Objective] :
To predict the autophagy-related pathogenesis and key diagnostic genes of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) through bioinformatics analysis, and to identify related Chinese medicines.
[Methods] :
Data from sequencing microarrays GSE30528, GSE30529, and GSE1009 in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) were employed. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with adjusted P < 0.05 from GSE30528 and GSE30529 were identified. Combining these DEGs with the human autophagy gene database, Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses, and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis were conducted on the obtained DKD autophagy-related genes. Subsequently, the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression and support vector machine-recursive feature elimination (SVM-RFE) algorithms were adopted to select autophagy-related genes. The diagnostic capability of these genes was assessed through analysis with the external validation set from microarray GSE1009, and relevant Chinese medicines were inversely predicted using the SymMap database.
[Results] :
A total of 2 014 DEGs were selected from GSE30528 and GSE30529, leading to the
identification of 37 DKD autophagy-related genes. GO analysis indicated 681 biological
mechanisms, including autophagy regulation and plasma membrane microdomain activity.
KEGG enrichment analysis identified 112 related signaling pathways. PPI network analysis
showed a marked enrichment of autophagy-related genes in DKD. Through LASSO regression and SVM-RFE, four core diagnostic genes for autophagy in DKD were identified: protein
phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 15A (PPP1R15A), hypoxia inducible factor 1 alpha subunit
(HIF1α), deleted in liver cancer 1 (DLC1), and ceroid lipofuscinosis neuronal 3 (CLN3). The
external validation set demonstrated high diagnostic efficiency for these genes. Finally, 146
kinds of potential Chinese medicines were predicted using the SymMap database, with heatclearing and detoxifying medicine and blood-activating and stasis-eliminating medicine accounting for the largest proportion (25/146 and 13/146, respectively).
[Conclusion]
This study analyzed and validated bioinformatics sequencing databases to elucidate the potential molecular mechanisms of DKD autophagy and predicted key diagnostic genes, potential therapeutic targets, and related Chinese medicines, laying a solid foundation for clinical research and application.

Objective:To explore the in vitro radiation levels and in vivo neutron activation after patients receiving boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). Methods:Totally 29 BNCT treatments were performed for 21 patients with head and neck and brain cancer using the NeuPex accelerator-based boron neutron capture therapy (AB-BNCT) system in Xiamen Humanity Hospital from October, 2022 to April, 2024. The ambient dose equivalent rate around the patients was measured with an X/gamma dose rate survey meter. The gamma radiation dose rates were measured at 0, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 m from the irradiation position, at 0, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 m from the opposite side of the irradiation position, and at the navel and the affected knee, respectively. Meanwhile, a portable high-purity germanium gamma spectrometer was used to measure the spectrum of activated nuclides in the bodies of patients who had underwent the treatment, and the types of radionuclides generated by neutron activation during each BNCT treatment were analyzed.Results:The radionuclides 24Na, 38Cl, and 49Ca were mainly produced in the bodies of patients treated with BNCT. 20 minutes after BNCT treatment, the ambient dose equivalent rate at a distance of 1.0 m from the irradiation position was lower than 2.5 μSv/h. Conclusions:The dose delivered to the staff and family members by the patients undergoing BNCT is relatively low, and the resulting radiation risk is low. According to the ALARA principle, it is recommended that certain control actions be taken for patients having received BNCT treatment to minimize the exposure doses of both patients and staff as much as possible.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of oral semaglutide in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) inadequately controlled by diet and exercise only.Methods:In the randomized, double-blind, multicenter, multinational PIONEER-11 trial, Chinese patients were prospectively randomly assigned to receive oral semaglutide 3, 7, or 14 mg, or placebo. The primary endpoint was the change from baseline in glycated hemoglobin(HbA 1C) at week 26. This is a pre-defined subset analysis to assess the efficacy and safety in Chinese patients. Results:Totally 390 Chinese T2DM patients were enrolled(mean age 51 years), with a T2DM duration of 1.8 years, HbA 1C of 7.9%, and BMI of 26.5 kg/m 2 at baseline. Overall, changes at week 26 from baseline in HbA 1C were -1.1%, -1.6%, -1.6%, and 0.0%, and in bodyweight were -0.7, -1.9, -2.6, and -0.7 kg in oral semaglutide(3, 7, or 14 mg) and placebo groups, respectively. Compared to the placebo group, estimated treatment differences(ETDs) in HbA 1C for the 3, 7, and 14 mg groups were -1.2%(95% CI -1.4, -0.9), -1.7%(95% CI -1.9, -1.4), and -1.6%(95% CI -1.9, -1.4)(all P<0.001), respectively, and in weight loss for the 7 mg and 14 mg groups were -1.2 kg(95% CI -2.1, -0.4; P=0.006) and -1.9 kg(95% CI -2.8, -1.0; P<0.001), respectively. The most frequent gastrointestinal adverse events were diarrhea(oral semaglutide: 3.1%-12.5% vs placebo: 2.0%) and nausea(3.1%-6.3% vs 2.0%), mostly mild in severity and transient. Conclusion:In Chinese patients with T2DM who had insufficient glycemic control with diet and exercise only, oral semaglutide showed better glycemic control at doses of 3, 7, and 14 mg and more weight loss at doses of 7 and 14 mg compared to placebo, with a safety profile consistent with that observed in the global trial population.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of magnetically controlled capsule gastroscope in elderly patients with suspected upper gastrointestinal bleeding.Methods:A total of 102 patients with suspected upper gastrointestinal bleeding who underwent magnetically controlled capsule gastroscopy (MCCG) in General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from October 2020 to September 2022 were enrolled. Patients were divided into two groups according to age: 38 patients in group A (≤65 years old) and 64 patients in group B (> 65 years old). The case data, changes of vital signs, detection of lesions and adverse reactions of the two groups were compared.Results:There were significant differences in combined diseases between group A and group B. The stomach examination time in group A was significantly shorter than that of group B (15.49±2.04 min VS 16.61±2.02 min, t=-2.685, P=0.009). There was significant difference in small intestine examination time between the two groups (331.69±14.96 min VS 337.83±14.28 min, t=-1.229, P=0.227). The incidence of adverse reactions in group A was significantly lower than that in group B [0.00%(0/38) VS 6.25%(4/64), χ2=6.186, P=0.013]. The changes of vital signs before, during and after examination were not statistically different. The detection rates of upper gastrointestinal lesions were 92.1% (35/38) and 98.4% (63/64), respectively. The positive rates of upper gastrointestinal bleeding under MCCG were 60.0% (21/35) and 50.8% (32/63), respectively. Patients with unexplained upper gastrointestinal bleeding under MCCG received small intestine examination. The detection rates of small intestinal lesions by small intestine examination were 84.6% (11/13) and 91.7% (22/24), respectively. Conclusion:MCCG demonstrates excellent diagnostic accuracy in elderly patients with suspected upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Additionally, it is safe and suitable for use in elderly patients with multiple comorbidities, allowing for concurrent small intestine examination.
