Objective:To analyze the association between standardized management of clinical research, initiated by investigators and guided by clinical research management policies in healthcare institutions, and changes in the research behavior of graduate students.Methods:Theses related to cardiovascular health published by graduate students in the Sichuan-Chongqing region of China between January 2019 and June 2024 were retrieved from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure database. Multilevel models were used to analyze changes in ethical compliance awareness, research methodology standardization, and academic collaboration of graduate students before and after policy implementation. Using Shapiro Wilk test and percentage representation.Results:Among the 712 theses included in this study, the proportion of studies with ethical review reports increased from 44.50% to 55.32% following the implementation of standardized management [odds ratio ( OR)=1.80, P=0.017]. Standardized management significantly improved the quality scores of cross-sectional studies and randomized controlled trials ( P<0.001), as well as significantly increased the frequencies of multi-center collaboration ( OR=2.84, P=0.001) and intra-provincial collaboration ( OR=2.80, P=0.001). Conclusions:Standardized clinical research management shows significant association with positive changes in the research behavior of graduate students. Further optimization of management measures is recommended to comprehensively enhance the clinical research capabilities of graduate students.

Severe open tibiofibular fractures account for approximately 28.1% of all open fractures. Among them, Gustilo-Anderson type IIIB/C fractures present significant clinical challenges due to associated bone and soft tissue defects, high infection rates, and risk of amputation. Inadequate preoperative assessment may lead to suboptimal emergency surgical planning or intraoperative complications. Historically, external fixation was often preferred, but this approach has been associated with limitations such as restricted joint mobility, delayed bone union, joint stiffness, and disuse osteoporosis, resulting in poor functional recovery. With advancements of debridement techniques, standardization of antibiotic use, and popularization of early soft tissue coverage, early internal fixation has gained broader acceptance. Nevertheless, controversies persist regarding the choice of fixation method, timing of definitive fixation, use of reamed versus unreamed intramedullary nailing, and necessity of fibular fixation. To standardize the diagnosis and early management of severe open tibiofibular fractures, reduce complication rates, and improve functional recovery, the Society of Microsurgery of the Chinese Medical Association organized a panel of domestic experts to develop the Evidence-based guideline for the diagnosis and early fixation of severe open tibiofibular fractures ( version 2025), using evidence-based methodology. The guidelines provided 12 recommendations covering diagnostic and early fixation strategies of severe open tibiofibular fractures, aiming to provide clinicians with scientifically grounded and standardized guidance.

Objective:To systematically review and evaluate risk prediction models for radiation dermatitis in breast cancer patients, providing a reference for developing higher-quality prediction models.Methods:A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, and China Biomedical Literature Database for studies related to risk prediction models for radiation dermatitis in breast cancer patients. The search timeframe was from database inception to February 28, 2024. Two researchers independently screened relevant literature based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted the basic characteristics of the studies, and performed analysis. The included models were assessed for risk of bias and applicability.Results:A total of 8 articles involving 9 models were included, covering a total sample size of 1 291 cases, with 10 to 144 outcome events. The number of predictors ranged from 2 to 10, with common predictors including body mass index, smoking history, and breast volume, radiation dose, etc. The AUC values of the included models ranged from 0.76 to 0.98. The overall risk of bias for the models was relatively high, mainly due to issues related to study design, missing data handling, variable selection, and model validation.Conclusions:Existing risk prediction models for radiation dermatitis in breast cancer patients have certain limitations. It is recommended that future research further improve study designs, validate and optimize existing models, and develop high-performance risk prediction models.

Objective:To explore the effects of miR-21-5p exosomes derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells on apoptosis of human granular cells.Methods:A granular cell apoptosis model was constructed by treating KGN cells with different concentrations (0 μmol/L, 30 μmol/L, 60 μmol/L, and 100 μmol/L) of phosphoramide nitrogen mustard for 48 h. The mRNA and protein levels of bax and bcl2 were detected using qPCR and Western blotting, respectively. The apoptosis rate was measured using flow cytometry to screen for the optimal concentration of phosphoramide nitrogen mustard for constructing an apoptosis model. Hsa-miR-21-5p overexpression plasmid was used for instantaneously transfecting human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells, and the expression level of hsa-miR-21-5p was detected by qPCR. The miR-21-5p exosomes were separated and identified by flow cytometry and electron microscope. Different concentrations (5 μg/mL, 10 μg/mL and 15 μg/mL) of miR-21 exosomes were added into successful KGN cell apoptosis model to overexpress miR-21. The mRNA and protein levels of bax and bcl2 were detected using qPCR and Western blotting, respectively. PKH-26 was used to trace the position of human granular cells. Results:The levels of bax mRNA and protein in KGN cells treated with 60 μmol/L phosphoramide nitrogen mustard were significantly higher than those in the 0 μmol/L phosphoramide nitrogen mustard group (all P<0.001), while the levels of bcl2 mRNA and protein were significantly higher than those in the 0 μmol/L phosphoramide nitrogen mustard group ( P=0.005, P<0.001). The apoptosis rate of KGN cells after 60 μmol/L phosphoramide nitrogen mustard intervention was (38.10±2.90)%, while the apoptosis rate of KGN cells after 30 μmol/L phosphoramide nitrogen mustard intervention was (16.75±2.55)%, they were all significantly higher than that of the 0 μmol/L phosphoramide nitrogen mustard intervention group ( P=0.020, P=0.006). Hsa-miR-21-5p was transiently transfected into human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells, and the expression of has-miR-21-5p was higher than that in control group detected by qPCR ( P<0.001). The positive rate of surface protein CD9, CD63 and CD81 was 14.9%, 16.4% and 31.4%. The exosome was observed as "tea tray" or "concave hemisphere" by electron microscope. The exosome labeled by PKH-26 entered the granular cells and exerted biological effects. There was no statistically significant difference in bax mRNA expression levels between the 5 μg/mL, 10 μg/mL, and 15 μg/mL empty plasmid exosomes groups and the 60 μmol/L phosphoramide nitrogen mustard group (all P>0.05). However, the expression levels of bax mRNA in the 5 μg/mL, 10 μg/mL, and 15 μg/mL miR-21-5-p exosomes groups were lower than those in the 60 μmol/L phosphoramide nitrogen mustard group ( P=0.008, P=0.003, P<0.001). However, there was no statistically significant difference in the expression of bcl2 mRNA among the groups (all P>0.05). From the perspective of protein levels, there was no statistically significant difference in BAX protein expression between the 5 μg/mL, 10 μg/mL, and 15 μg/mL empty exosomes groups and 60 μmol/L phosphoramide nitrogen mustard group (all P>0.05), while the 5 μg/mL, 10 μg/mL, and 15 μg/mL miR-21-5-p exosomes groups showed a decrease in BAX protein expression compared with the 60 μmol/L phosphoramide nitrogen mustard group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.001). However, there was no statistically significant difference in the expression of BCL2 protein among the intervention groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion:Hsa-miR-21-5p exosomes derived from human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells can effectively exert the anti-apoptotic effect.

Objective:To investigate the related factors of pleasure loss in patients with human immunodefi-ciency virus(HIV)/acquired immune deficiency syndrome(AIDS).Methods:Totally 237 patients with HIV/AIDS from a certain infectious disease hospital were selected and surveyed with a self-designed general information ques-tionnaire,the Temporal Pleasure Experience Scale(TEPS),Self Acceptance Scale(SAQ),Discrimination Percep-tion Scale(SIS),and Perceived Social Support Scale(PSSS).Results:The patient's TEPS score was(73.4±16.1).Stepwise linear regression analysis showed that the PSSS total scores,education level,and personal monthly income were positively correlated with the TEPS total scores(β=0.41,5.17,4.63),and age was negatively corre-lated with the TEPS total scores(β=-0.30).Conclusion:It suggests that more attention should be paid to the lack of pleasure in patients with HIV/AIDS,and the lack of pleasure is related to personal monthly income,educa-tion level,age and perceived social support.

Objective:To investigate the value of monitoring on serum silent information regulator-related enzyme 3 (SIRT3), glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).Methods:Eighty patients with AIS who treatment in Qiongzhong Li and Miao Autonomous County People′s Hospital from May 2019 to April 2022 were selected retrospectively as the observation group, and 60 healthy volunteers who underwent physical examination during the same period were selected as the normal control group. The levels of serum SIRT3, GLP-1, and ANGPTL4 between the two groups were compared. The neurological deficit degree of AIS patients was evaluated by National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS) and the correlation of SIRT3, GLP-1 and ANGPTL4 with neurological deficit degree were analyzed. The levels of serum SIRT3, GLP-1 and ANGPTL4 before and after treatment and their difference value were compared between different clinical outcome of AIS patients, the risk factors for poor clinical outcome of AIS patients were analyzed by Logistic regression analysis, the value of prediction was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:The level of serum GLP-1 in the observation group was lower than that in the normal control group: (50.37 ± 5.69) nmol/L vs. (34.89 ± 4.26) nmol/L; and the levels of serum SIRT3 and ANGPTL4 in the observation group were higher than those in the normal control group: (50.37 ± 5.69) ng/L vs. (34.89 ± 4.26) ng/L, (15.07 ± 3.12) μg/L vs. (11.15 ± 2.63) μg/L, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The results of correlation analysis showed that the levels of serum SIRT3 and ANGPTL4 were positively correlated with the degree of neurological impairment in AIS patients( r = 0.631, 0.776, P<0.05), and the level of serum GLP-1 was negatively correlated with the degree of neurological impairment in AIS patients ( r = - 0.693, P<0.05). After treatment, 66 patients obtained good clinical outcome, the good outcome rate was 82.50%(66/80). The levels of serum SIRT3 and ANGPTL4 in the poor clinical outcome patients were higher than those in the good clinical outcome patients: (41.33 ± 4.74) ng/L vs. (37.82 ± 4.05) ng/L, (12.98 ± 2.17) μg/L vs. (11.69 ± 2.06) μg/L; the level of serum GLP-1 in the poor clinical outcome patients was lower than that in the good clinical outcome patients: (592.33 ± 98.44) nmol/L vs. (709.41 ± 125.31) nmol/L; the difference value of SIRT3, GLP-1 and ANGPTL4 before and after treatment in the poor clinical outcome patients were lower than those in the good clinical outcome patients: (10.22 ± 2.05) ng/L vs. (12.31 ± 2.94) ng/L, (268.21 ± 70.12) nmol/L vs. (379.92 ± 85.33) nmol/L, (2.18 ± 0.65) μg/L vs. (3.36 ± 0.94) μg/L, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The results of Logistic regression analysis showed that differences value of SIRT3, GLP-1 and ANGPTL4 before and after treatment were all independent influencing factors of poor clinical outcome in patients with AIS ( P<0.05). The results of ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of differences value of SIRT3, GLP-1 and ANGPTL4 before and after treatment in predicting poor clinical outcome were 0.701, 0.758 and 0.844, respectively, and had certain predictive value, the AUC of joint evaluation was the largest (0.912). Conclusions:The levels of serum SIRT3 and ANGPTL4 in patients with AIS are increased, and the level of serum GLP-1 is decreased, and they are related to the degree of neurological deficit. Clinical monitoring of their level changes is helpful for clinical evaluation of the clinical outcome of patients with AIS.
