Objective To construct and validate a prediction model for urosepsis in patients after upper urinary tract stone surgery using various machine learning algorithms.Methods A total of 7 464 upper urinary tract stone patients who underwent surgery at the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from Jun.2018 to Jun.2023 were enrolled and randomly assigned to training(5 224 cases)or validation sets(2 240 cases)at a ratio of 7∶3.Among them,622(8.33%)cases developed urosepsis postoperatively.Six machine learning algorithms,including extreme gradient boosting(XGBoost),logistic regression,light gradient boosting machine(LightGBM),random forest(RF),adaptive boosting(AdaBoost),and gradient boosting decision tree(GBDT),were used to construct prediction models for postoperative urosepsis.The model's predictive ability and clinical benefits were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves,Shapley additive explanation(SHAP)analysis,calibration curves,and decision curve analysis(DCA).Results The clinical features included body mass index(BMI),number of surgeries,heart rate,Barthel index,venous thrombo embolism(VTE)risk assessment,gender,American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA)grade,urinary nitrite,and urinary leukocyte in the models.In the training set,the XGBoost,LightGBM,and RF models performed excellently,with area under curve(AUC)values of ROC curves reaching 1.00.In the validation set,the logistic regression model performed the best,with an AUC value of ROC curve of 0.76,showing good predictive stability and calibration.The AdaBoost and GBDT models followed with AUC values of 0.74 and 0.75,respectively,while the AUC values of the LightGBM,XGBoost,and RF models were 0.71,0.70,and 0.68.In terms of model interpretability,SHAP analysis showed the contribution of variables in a descending order as:heart rate,urinary leukocytes,gender,BMI,Barthel index,VTE risk assessment,urinary nitrite,number of surgeries,and ASA grade.Conclusion A logistic regression model for early risk prediction of postoperative urosepsis in upper urinary tract stone patients has been successfully constructed.This model has good predictive performance and calibration,and can effectively assist clinical diagnosis.

Objective:To investigate the effect of GBP3 on replication of adult T-lymphocytic leukemia virus type 1(HTLV-1).Methods:Expression of GBP3 in HTLV-1-infected HeLa cell and THP1 cell was detected by Western blot.The knock-down efficiency of siRNAs targeting GBP3 in HeLa and THP1 cells was evaluated by Western blot.Effects of GBP3 overexpression or knockdown on expression of HTLV-1 proviral transcripts Tax,px,HBZ,Gag,ENV,5'UTR,and viral proteins Tax,p19 were investigated by RT-qPCR and Western blot.GTPase-defective mutant of GBP3,GBP3K51A was constructed to explore whether the effects of GBP3 on HTLV-1 infection were dependent on its GTPase activity.Results:GBP3 expression was upregulated in HTLV-1 infected HeLa and THP1 cells.GBP3 overexpression decreased expression of HTLV-1 proviral transcripts and viral proteins,whereas the knockdown of GBP3 has the opposite effects.Overexpression of GBP3K51A increased expression of HTLV-1 proviral transcripts and viral proteins.Conclusion:HTLV-1 virus infection can induce expression of GBP3;overexpression of GBP3 inhibits virus replication and may depend on GTPase.

Objective:To analyze the short-term efficacy and safety of robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy（RAPN）for non-metastatic pathological stage T 3a renal cell carcinoma. Methods:The clinical and pathological data of 45 patients with pathologically confirmed non-metastatic T 3a renal cell carcinoma who underwent RAPN at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center between January 2016 and December 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. There were 30 males and 15 females. The average age of the cohort was（54.3±10.7）years，and the average clinical tumor diameter was（4.9±1.8）cm. Of all the patients，35（77.8%）were asymptomatic，7（15.6%）presented with hematuria，and 3（6.7%）presented with lumbar pain. Preoperative imaging assessed 34 patients（75.6%）as having clinical stage T 3a，all suspected of involving the collecting system or perirenal fat invasion；the remaining 11 patients（24.4%）were assessed as having stage T 1-2 disease. The median R.E.N.A.L. nephrectomy score was 8.0（7.0，10.0）. A history of hypertension，diabetes，or chronic kidney disease was present in 18 patients（40.0%）. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival，and the secondary endpoints included postoperative complications and short-term renal function outcomes. Survival curve was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method，and renal function comparisons were made using the paired t-test. Results:The RAPN was performed through a transabdominal approach in 32 patients（71.1%），with a median estimated blood loss of 150.0（50.0，300.0）ml. Seven（15.6%）patients required intraoperative blood transfusion. The median length of postoperative hospital stay was 4.0（4.0，6.0）days. Postoperative complications occurred in 6 patients（13.3%），including 5（11.1%）with mild complications and 1（2.2%）with a severe complication. Renal function returned to baseline in 24 of 39 evaluable patients（61.5%），while 3 patients（7.7%）developed surgery-related chronic kidney disease 3 to 12 months postoperatively，but none required dialysis. The median follow-up time was 31.8（22.7，50.9）months，12（26.7%）patients received programmed cell death protein 1 inhibitor adjuvant therapy postoperatively. During follow-up，3 patients experienced tumor recurrence，the 3-year progression-free survival rate of the entire cohort was 95.4%.Conclusions:For some carefully selected patients with T 3a renal cell carcinoma，RAPN performed by experienced surgeons is a feasible and safe option，providing excellent short-term oncological outcomes，complication control，and renal function recovery. The long-term efficacy remains to be seen.
