ObjectiveTo evaluate the public health governance capacity in Jiangsu Province and provide an optimized pathway for the construction of a “strong, rich, beautiful, and high-quality” new Jiangsu. MethodsA total of 806 policy documents, 658 public information reports, and 148 research literatures related to public health governance capacity in Jiangsu Province from January 1995 to December 2023 were collected. The status of current public health goverance was assessed based on the evaluation criteria suitable for public health systems, and the strengths and the weaknesses of the system were identified. ResultsThe public health governance capability of Jiangsu Province was scored at 738.3 points, ranking 3rd nationally. Maternal health care and emergency response capacities achieved leading positions nationwide, both ranking 2nd. Jiangsu had exhibited a standardized guidance in the strategic level, a well-established management mechanism, an extensive coverage in information collection, and a scientifically established health targets setting. However, bottlenecks remained, including an unclear division of responsibilities across organizational departments, an insufficient public-health workforce, the absence of a stable growth mechanism for government funding investment, and difficulties in promptly identifying public needs. ConclusionJiangsu’s public-health system demonstrates leading nationally, yet several components remain underdeveloped. Future efforts should consolidate advantages while addressing weaknesses, further diversify content and forms, establish a stable funding increase mechanism, and clarify departmental functions, thereby providing solid health support for realizing the developmental goals of a “strong, rich, beautiful and high-quality” new Jiangsu.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of blinatumomab in adult patients with relapsed/refractory(R/R)or measurable residual disease(MRD)positive B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia(B-ALL)in the real world.Methods:The clinical data of 30 B-ALL patients received at least 1 course of blinatumomab therapy in the Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 1st,2021 to December 31st,2023 were retrospectively analyzed,including pre-treatment baseline clinical feature,post-treatment complete response(CR),CR with partial hematologic recovery(CRh),CR with incomplete hematologic recovery(CRi),complete MRD response rate,MRD response rate(MRD＜10-4),overall survival(OS),and disease-free survival(DFS),as well as drug-related adverse reactions.Results:Among 5 patients who were not assessed 4 were MRD negative and 1 did not receive bone marrow biopsy.In the R/R B-ALL group(13 cases),11 patients achieved CR/CRh/CRi and 10 patients achieved complete MRD response.In MRD+group(12 cases),9 patients achieved overall MRD response and 7 patients achieved complete MRD response.The median follow-up time was 8.4(95％CI:6.3-10.4)months.The median OS was 15.5(95％CI:0.7-30.3)months in the R/R group,while not reached in the MRD+group.The median DFS of the two groups were not reached.Drug-related adverse reactions occurred in 22 patients,and pyrexia was the most common(13 cases).Grade ≥3 adverse reactions occurred in 15 patients,and neutropenia was the most common(9 cases).Cytokine release syndrome occurred in 6 patients,including 5 cases with grade 1 and 1 case with grade 3.No patients interrupted therapy or died due to drug-related adverse reactions.Conclusion:Blinatumomab is effective in the treatment of R/R or continuous MRD+B-ALL with acceptable adverse reactions.

Objective:To identify risk factors for mortality in patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension compli-cated by esophagogastric variceal bleeding(EVB)after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt(TIPS),and to estab-lish a prediction model.Methods:Clinical data of 80 patients who underwent TIPS from March 2022 to March 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.Based on 28-day outcomes,patients were divided into survival(n=65)and death(n=15)groups.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to determine independent predictors,and the model's calibration and discrimination were assessed by the Hosmer-Lemeshow test and ROC curve.Results:Inde-pendent risk factors for death included Child-pugh score(OR=2.653),MELD score(OR=1.924),bleeding volume(OR=1.754),portal vein thrombosis(OR=3.247),and hepatic encephalopathy(OR=2.834).The model demonstrated good cali-bration(Hosmer-Lemeshow χ2=7.142,P=0.521)and discrimination,with an AUC of 0.873(95%CI:0.773-0.939),sensi-tivity of 83.3%,and specificity of 87.7%.Conclusion:Child-pugh score,MELD score,bleeding volume,portal vein thrombosis,and hepatic encephalopathy are independent predictors of post-TIPS mortality in cirrhotic patients with EVB.Emergency TIPS carries higher mortality risk than elective TIPS.The proposed model shows strong predictive perfor-mance and may aid in individualized prognosis assessment and therapeutic decision-making.

The molecular mechanisms underlying the develop-ment and metastasis of prostate cancer remain elusive.This comprehensive review delves into the intricate role of cofilin,an actin-binding protein,in the pathogenesis and progression of prostate cancer.Cofilin is a significant protein in cytoskeletal dynamics,and any dysregulation may result in the morphological changes in normal cells and the invasion and metastasis of tumor cells.Research has revealed that the activity of cofilin is regula-ted by various mechanisms,including phosphorylation/dephos-phorylation and interactions with other molecules.Moreover,this review discusses promising therapeutic interventions,such as co-filin inhibitors and gene therapy,which have demonstrated effica-cy in preclinical models.The challenge of clinically preventing the transition to castration-resistant prostate cancer and tumor metastasis is widely recognized,necessitating the development of precise drug treatments and biomarker identification.As a key regulatory protein,cofilin provides a more comprehensive refer-ence for the prevention and treatment of prostate diseases.

Objective To investigate the effect of different decompression methods on the efficacy of the unilateral biportal endoscopy(UBE)in the treatment of severe lumbar spinal stenosis(LSS).Methods A total of 203 elderly patients with LSS who underwent UBE treatment in our hospital from September 2021 to June 2024 were selected and divided into the unilateral group(102 cases)and the bilateral group(101 cases)according to different decompression methods.The unilateral group underwent unilateral decompression during operation,while the bilateral group underwent bilateral decompression(with bilateral decompression through the same incision and unilateral approach)during operation.The perioperative conditions,anatomical image parameters,visual analogue scale(VAS)scores,Oswestry disability index(ODI),and complications were compared between the two groups.The rehabilitation progress and complications of patients with different Charlson comorbidity index(CCI)values were compared.Results The operation time of patients in the bilateral group was longer than that in the unilateral group(P<0.05).The dural sac area and lumbar spinal canal area of patients in the bilateral group were larger than those in the unilateral group immediately after operation and 3 months after operation(P<0.05).The VAS scores and ODI 7 days and 3 months after operation of patients in the bilateral group were lower than those in the unilateral group(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the total incidence of complications between the two groups of patients(P>0.05).The first time of getting out of bed after operation and hospital stay in patients with CCI value>2 scores were longer than those in patients with CCI value≤2 scores(P<0.05).Conclusion Compared with unilateral decompression,bilateral decompression for elderly patients with severe LSS takes a longer surgical time,but it can better restore lumbar shape,alleviate pain,improve lumbar function,and has higher safety,and the milder the patient's condition,the faster the postoperative recovery.

Objective:To investigate the role and mechanism of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) in a rabbit full-thickness wound model using non-targeted metabolomics.Methods:Eighteen male New Zealand rabbits (11-12 weeks old) were used. Two symmetrical circular full-thickness skin defects were created on the back of each rabbit. The animals were randomly divided into three groups: Control group (no treatment), Saline group (debridement with saline irrigation), and NPWT+ Saline group (saline debridement followed by 2 h of NPWT at -125 mm Hg once daily for two weeks). Wound healing was documented on days 0, 3, 7, 10, and 14. The wound healing rate was calculated as (original area-unhealed area)/original area × 100%. Histopathological changes were evaluated via hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. Metabolomic profiling of wound tissues was performed using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS). Differential metabolites were identified, and pathway enrichment analysis was conducted. Oxidative stress markers, including superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities and malondialdehyde (MDA) content, were measured using commercial kits. Data were analyzed using SPSS 20.0. One-way ANOVA with Tukey’s HSD test or Welch’s ANOVA with Games-Howell test was applied as appropriate.Results:On days 3, 10, and 14, the wound healing rate in the NPWT+ Saline group was significantly higher than that in the Control and Saline groups ( P<0.05). On day 7, the NPWT+ Saline group showed a significantly higher healing rate than the Saline group ( P<0.01), but no significant difference compared with the Control group ( P>0.05). HE staining on day 7 revealed enhanced epithelialization, thicker granulation tissue, higher microvessel density, and more abundant, well-organized collagen in the NPWT+ Saline group. By day 14, all groups had formed relatively continuous epithelial structures. Non-targeted metabolomics identified riboflavin and spermidine as differential metabolites. Pathway analysis highlighted riboflavin metabolism and glutathione metabolism as the most significantly enriched pathways. Compared with the Control and Saline groups, the NPWT+ Saline group exhibited significantly increased CAT and SOD activities ( P<0.05) and decreased MDA content ( P<0.01), indicating reduced oxidative stress. Conclusion:NPWT may promote wound healing by elevating riboflavin and spermidine levels, thereby modulating riboflavin and glutathione metabolism and regulating local redox reactions.

Objective To investigate the cerebro protective effect of pre-filled sivelestat sodium during cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB)in patients with valve replacement surgery.Methods From January 2022 to December 2023,104 patients were included and randomly divided into experimental group(n=54)and control group(n=50).The sivelestat sodium 4.8mg/kg was mixed to the pre-filled solutions for CPB in experimental group,while an equal amount of physiological saline solution was mixed in control group.Internal jugular venous blood was collected 5 minutes after anesthesia induction and 10 minutes,4 hours,24 hours,and 72 hours after the aortic cross-clamp was released to detect plasma S-100 protein and interleukin(IL)-6 concentrations.Data on operation time,CPB time,mean arterial pressure,and hematocrit were also recorded.Results There were no statistical differences in operation time,CPB time,assisted circulation time,mean arterial pressure,and hematocrit between two groups(P＞0.05).After anesthesia,there were no significant differences in S-100 protein and IL-6 between two groups(P＞0.05).After,the plasma concentrations of S-100 protein and IL-6 increased in both groups,but the concentrations of S-100 protein and IL-6 in experimental group were significantly lower than those in control group at early stages(10 minutes,4 hours,24 hours)after the aortic cross-clamp was released(P＜0.05).Conclusion Sivelestat sodium,as a cerebro protective drug in CPB heart surgery,can reduce the levels of S-100 protein and IL-6,demonstrating a protective effect on central nervous cells.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of women with abnormal uterine bleeding(AUB)in sub-plateau regions and analyze the factors affecting their treatment methods.Methods AUB patients who were hospitalized from Jan 1,2018 to Dec 31,2022,in a sub-plateau region(Yongping County People's Hospital of Yunnan Province)with an average altitude of 1 620 meters were selected.The general clinical characteristics of the patients were summarized,and patients were classified into two categories(with or without uterine structural lesion)and nine subtypes(PALM-COEIN)according to the FIGO recommended etiological classification guidelines.Then the patients were divided into groups based on the presence or absence of uterine structural lesions,ethnic group(Han and minority),conservative drug treatment and surgical treatment groups,blood transfusion and non-blood transfusion groups.Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors affecting treatment methods.Results A total of 481 AUB patients enrolled,and the delayed consultation rate was as high as 80.46%,and the proportion of overweight and obese patients was 49.90%,which was higher than the average level among Chinese women.The main cause was AUB-O(AUB-ovulatory dysfunction),accounting for 78.59%of cases,the proportion of patients with delayed medical treatment was higher than those without delayed medical treatment(82.17%vs.74.47%).Patients who received blood transfusion were significantly younger,had lower hemoglobin(HGB)levels,fewer pregnancies,and lower BMI compared to those in the non-blood transfusion group(P<0.05).Univariate analysis showed that the surgical treatment group had older age,longer onset time,higher HGB levels,more pregnancies and deliveries,higher BMI,a higher proportion of Han ethnicity patients,lower rates of non-blood transfusion,higher rates of hypertension,and more uterine structural lesions compared to the conservative drug treatment group.Multivariate regression analysis revealed that blood transfusion treatment reduced the probability of surgical treatment.Age and uterine structural lesions were risk factors for requiring surgical treatment,for each additional year of age,the risk of undergoing surgical treatment increased by 10%.The risk of requiring surgical treatment for patients with uterine structural lesions was 2.987 times higher than for those without.Conclusion AUB patients in this sub-plateau regions have a high rate of delayed consultation and a high proportion of overweight and obesity,with AUB-O being the primary cause.Older age and the presence of uterine structural lesions were risk factors for requiring surgical treatment.
