Objective To construct machine learning models based on preoperative inflammatory and radiological features for the prediction of glioma grading and isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation status, and to analyze application values of these models and identify the optimal predictive models. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of pathologically confirmed glioma patients admitted to Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University from March 2019 to March 2023. LASSO regression was used to screen feature variables, and predictive models were constructed based on logistic regression (LR), random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), gradient boosting decision tree (XGBoost) and K-nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithms. The model performance was comprehensively evaluated using metrics including discrimination ability, area under the precision-recall curve (AUC), accuracy, F1 score and Brier score. The DeLong test was adopted to compare the AUC values among different models; Friedman rank-sum test was used to determine the overall performance differences of the models, with the Nemenyi test applied for multiple comparison correction. Results In the task of glioma grading prediction, the LR model achieved the highest comprehensive score (0.726), and no significant difference was observed between the LR model and the other four models; age was positively correlated with glioma grading (P=0.003). In the task of IDH mutation status prediction, the XGBoost model obtained the highest comprehensive score (0.832), which was superior to the LR (0.762, P=0.035) and KNN models (0.754, P=0.025), while no statistical differences were found between the XGBoost model and the RF or SVM models. Conclusions The LR model for glioma grading prediction and XGBoost model for IDH mutation prediction constructed based on a task-oriented strategy achieve a favorable interpretability while ensuring optimized performance, thereby providing reliable decision support for the individualized diagnosis and treatment of glioma.

Objective To explore the association between the growth condition of mandibular third molars(M3)and the parameters of mandibular dental arch through a retrospective cross-sectional study on M3 in adults,and to provide a basis for the selection of clini-cal treatment of M3.Methods A total of 221 adult patients were randomly selected for our study.Dolphin software was used to analyze the CBCT of all the patients.Parameters of the mandibular dentition including the entire dental crowding(EDC)were recorded.Then the association between M3 growth condition and these parameters was analyzed.Results The mesio-impacted angle of M3 was posi-tively correlated with EDC(P＜0.05),and negatively correlated with the retromolar space(RMS,P＜0.0 1).It was worth noting that me-dian mesio-impacted M3 significantly increased EDC(P＜0.01),and the erupting M3 in the vertical orthotopic position significantly in-creased RMS(P＜0.01).Conclusion For patients with median mesio-impacted M3 or insufficient RMS,preventive removal of M3 may be considered clinically,which may help to reduce crowding and prevent relapse after orthodontic treatment.

Objective To explore the home rehabilitation experience of individuals with fully magnetically levitated left ventricular assist device,and to provide a basis for developing scientific nursing intervention plans and follow-up strategies for clinical practice.Methods Using phenomenological research methods,a semi-structured interview was conducted on 13 patients with fully maglev left ventricular assist device implantation in a tertiary A comprehensive hospital in Wuhan from September to October 2022.Colaizzi's 7-step analysis method was used to analyze the data and extract themes.Results A total of 3 themes and 9 subthemes were extracted,including complex emotions in home rehabilitation(challenges for new characters,anxieties and concerns,regaining new life and full of confidence),difficulties in home self-management(lack of professional knowledge,insufficient exercise,difficulty in managing pump cable bag wounds,weak ability to recognize and respond to external controller alarms),and needs for home rehabilitation(need for continuity of care,desire for more social support).Conclusion Complex emotional experiences and many difficulties and needs exist in the home rehabilitation process of patients after implantation of full magnetic levitation left ventricular assist device.Healthcare professionals should actively pay attention to the postoperative psychological changes of patients,strengthen pre-discharge training to improve patients'self-management ability,and actively build a multi-party Internet home rehabilitation management platform to improve the rehabilitation quality of patients.

Prevalence of ulcerative colitis(UC)accompanied by anxiety and depression continues to rise,with mechanisms closely linked to brain-gut-microbiota axis dysregulation and inflammatory responses.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)theory posits that the core pathogenesis lies in"liver depression and spleen deficiency".TCM treatment demonstrates potential in alleviating UC with anx-iety and depression through its characteristic advantages of"holistic regulation and mind-body co-treatment".This article elucidates the pathogenesis from both Western medicine and TCM perspectives and reviews research progress on TCM interventions,aiming to pro-vide a theoretical basis for precise UC diagnosis/treatment and multidisciplinary intervention strategies.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics as well as molecular epidemiological features of resis-tance genes and virulence genes of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP)infection in a region,and provide scientific basis for the prevention,treatment,and epidemiological study of CRKP.Methods 60 non-repeti-tive CRKP strains isolated clinically from Puyang Oilfield General Hospital from November 2023 to September 2024 were analyzed retrospectively.Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using VITEK 2 Compact automa-tic microbial analyzer,K-B disk diffusion method,and micro-broth dilution method.Mucus phenotype of bacterial strains was identified by string test.Carbapenemase was detected by carbapenemase inhibitor enhancement assay.Molecular features,such as multi-locus sequence typing(MLST),capsule serotypes,resistance genes,virulence genes,plasmid replication types of strains,as well as the genetic and evolutionary relationships of strains were de-termined by whole genome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis.Results CRKP strains were mainly isolated from elderly male hospitalized patients.Specimens were mostly from sputum(71.67％),mainly distributed in depart-ment of respiratory medicine(30.00％).All strains were highly resistant to multiple commonly used antimicrobial agents,only with high susceptibility rates to cefotaxime/avibactam,tigecycline,and polymyxin B(＞60.00％).Two CRKP strains were positive for string test.95.00％of the strains produced class A serine carbapenemase.All strains carried fluoroquinolone,phosphomycin,β-lactam,and aminoglycoside resistance genes;enterobactin,Esche-richia coli common pilus(ECP),and outer membrane protein-related virulence genes;as well as plasmids from the IncF plasmid family.Carbapenemase gene was mainly blaKPC-2(95.00％),and the major capsule serotype was KL19(43.33％).In MLST,ST11(51.67％)was the dominant clone group,and ST11-KL62(n=12)was the dominant subtype.Conclusion CRKP in this hospital is highly resistant to multiple commonly used antimicrobial agents,and its mechanism of resistance to carbapenems is mainly related to the presence of blaKPC-2 resistance gene.All strains have coexisting multiple resistance genes and virulence genes,and show a phenomenon of multi-clone transmission.ST11 is the dominant clone group,and ST11-KL62 is the main prevalent subclone type.

Objective To investigate the role and molecular mechanism of SOX4 in Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori)-mediated gastric mucosal epithelial dysplasia.Methods The expression of SOX4 in gastric tissues and cells was analyzed with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR),Western blotting,and immunohistochemical staining.The effects of SOX4 on gastric epithelial cell proliferation and colony formation were determined with CCK-8 and colony formation assays.A PCR array was used to screen downstream target genes involved in H.pylori-induced dysplasia mediated by SOX4.The transcriptional regulation and binding sites of the target gene MLH3 by SOX4 were elucidated with luciferase reporter assay,promoter truncation assay,and chromatin immunoprecipitation(ChIP).Results SOX4 expression was significantly increased in H.pylori-infected gastric tissues(P<0.05).Overexpression of SOX4 markedly enhanced the proliferation and colony formation abilities of normal gastric epithelial cells(P<0.05).Elevated SOX4 led to the dysregulation of MLH3 and other DNA damage repair-related molecules after H.pylori infection in gastric epithelial cells(|logFC|>1,P<0.05).H.pylori promoted MLH3 expression in gastric epithelial cells through SOX4.SOX4 transcriptionally activated MLH3 expression by binding to the 5th site of the MLH3 promoter.The increased expression of SOX4 and MLH3 is associated with poor prognosis of gastric cancer patients.Conclusion SOX4 is closely associated with H.pylori-induced dysplasia in gastric epithelial cells.Upregulation of SOX4 promotes H.pylori-related dysplasia by transcriptionally activating MLH3,leading to the imbalance of proliferation and colony formation in gastric epithelial cells.

Reporting guidelines are structured checklists for researchers to follow when reporting spe-cific types of studies.As researches conducted in real-world settings to address practical issues,implementa-tion research has stringent requirements for the replicability of result and the transparency of reporting,making its reporting guidelines particularly important.This paper systematically introduces the reporting guidelines in the field of implementation science,outlines their classification systems and scopes of applica-tion,and focuses on explaining the core characteristics and functions of five key reporting guidelines,inclu-ding the Standards for Reporting Implementation Studies(StaRI),Reporting guidelines for implementation and operational research,the Template for Intervention Description and Replication(TIDieR),the Frame-work for Reporting Adaptations and Modifications-Enhanced(FRAME),and recommendations for specifying and reporting implementation strategies.Furthermore,combined with the PEDALs research paradigm in im-plementation science,this paper further clarifies the specific application pathways for reporting guidelines and discusses directions for refinement,aiming to provide references for researchers to select appropriate reporting guidelines.

[Purpose]To analyze the incidence and changing trends of elderly breast cancer(de-fined as diagnosis at age ≥ 60 years old)in China and globally from 1990 to 2021,and to predict its trends from 2022 to 2035.[Methods]Data on the number of new cases and crude incidence rate of elderly breast cancer in China and globally were extracted from the 2021 Global Burden of Disease Study(GBD)database.The age-standardized incidence rate(ASIR)was calculated by sex and age group.The Joinpoint regression model was used to calculate the annual percentage change(APC)and average annual percentage change(AAPC),to describe the incidence trend of elderly breast cancer from 1990 to 2021.The Bayesian age-period-cohort(BAPC)model was applied to predict the incidence of elderly breast cancer from 2022 to 2035.[Results]From 1990 to 2021,the number of new breast cancer cases among elderly individuals globally increased from 416 444 to 1 023 776,while in China,the number rose from 26 371 to 158 085.The ASIR increased from 89.04/105 to 94.73/105 globally and from 27.24/105 to 58.40/105 in China.By sex,the ASIR of el-derly females increased from 155.19/105 to 170.54/105 globally and from 49.13/105 to 106.00/105 in China;the ASIR of elderly males increased from 2.78/105 to 4.72/105 globally and from 1.69/105 to 6.81/105 in China.By age group,from 1990 to 2021,the incidence rates of breast cancer in elderly female and male both peaked in the age group of 85～89 years old globally.In China,the most significant increases in incidence rates were observed in the age group of 60～64 years old for elderly females and the age group of 70～74 years old for elderly males;these two age groups had the highest incidence rates in their respective sexes in 2021.Joinpoint analysis showed that the ASIR of elderly breast cancer in China presented a continuous upward trend from 1990 to 2021(AAPC=2.51％),with the fastest growth during 2016-2019(APC=5.14％).The global ASIR showed only a slight fluctuating upward trend(AAPC=0.20％),with significant increases only during 1990-1995 and 2003-2010.Predictions from the BAPC model indicated that by 2035,the global ASIR of elderly breast cancer would reach 107.84/105(192.26/105 for females and 6.02/105 for males),while the ASIR in China would reach 104.35/105(188.08/105 for females and 13.32/105 for males).[Conclusion]From 1990 to 2021,the incidence of elderly breast cancer showed an upward trend both in China and globally,with a particularly pronounced increase in elderly male.The disease burden of elderly breast cancer in China is expected to continue increasing in the future,necessi-tating strengthened primary and secondary prevention measures,as well as optimized screening programs for the elderly population to reduce disease risks and improve prognosis.
