Primary brain calcification(PBC) is a hereditary neurodegenerative disorder with symmetrical calcification in the bilateral basal ganglia and other brain regions as its core imaging feature, and presents diverse heterogeneous clinical manifestations such as movement disorders, cognitive impairment, and psychiatric disturbances. The identification of multiple causative genes has not only facilitated the exploration of PBC pathogenesis but also continuously expanded its phenotypic spectrum. The diagnosis, evaluation, and management of this disease are experiencing pivotal shifts, accompanied by new challenges. In 2025, the first international expert consensus on PBC was published, laying a foundation for the standardized diagnosis and treatment of PBC worldwide. Based on China′s clinical practice and research status, and referring to the international consensus, domestic experts in related fields conducted multiple rounds of discussions, supplemented and revised the contents covering clinical manifestations, auxiliary examinations, diagnostic criteria, differential diagnosis, molecular classification and characteristics, genetic testing and counseling, disease management and treatment of PBC, and finally developed this consensus. This consensus aims to provide guidance for the standardized diagnosis, treatment, and research of PBC in China, help improve the quality of diagnosis and treatment, and drive the steady advancement of relevant research in this field.

Objective:To evaluate the association between heatwaves and fall-related mortality.Methods:A total of 61 421 fall-related mortality from 2013 to 2022 in 7 provinces of China were included in a time-stratified case-crossover design, with daily meteorological data derived from the fifth generation European Reanalysis dataset produced by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. Conditional logistic regression chimeric distributed lag nonlinear model was used to analyze the association between heatwaves and fall-related mortality and stratified analysis was conducted according to gender and age.Results:Heatwaves were associated with an increased risk of fall-related morality. The risk of fall-related mortality during heatwaves was higher than during non-heatwave periods ( OR=1.11, 95% CI: 1.05-1.18). The attributable fraction of fall-related motality due to heatwaves was 10.25% (95% CI: 4.49%-15.36%). For each 1 ℃ increase above the heatwave threshold, the risk of fall-related mortality increased by 34% ( OR=1.34, 95% CI: 1.02-1.76). The effect of heatwave duration on fall-related mortality was not statistically significant. Stratified analyses indicated that women experienced a higher risk of fall-related mortality during heatwaves ( OR=1.13, 95% CI: 1.04-1.22) compared to man ( OR=1.10, 95% CI: 1.04-1.17). Conclusions:Heatwave increases the risk of fall-related mortality, and the intensity of heatwaves modify this risk. Women are vulnerable populations.

Objective To analyze the influencing factors of malnutrition in patients with lung cancer undergoing chemotherapy,and construct a predictive nomogram model according to the results.Methods A retrospective analysis was made on 100 patients with lung cancer who received postoperative chemotherapy in our hospital from March 2022 to April 2024.After all the patients had completed five cycles of chemotherapy,the incidence of malnutrition was counted.According to the nutritional evaluation results,the patients were divid-ed into two groups:well-nourished group and malnourished group.The clinical data of patients were compared and the related influen-cing factors were screened by Logistic regression analysis.The nomogram model for risk prediction of malnutrition risk of lung cancer pa-tients undergoing chemotherapy was constructed,and the predictive value and fitting degree of the model were evaluated by drawing the re-ceiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve and calibration curve.Results There were 29 cases of malnutrition in 100subjects,and the other 71 patients had normal nutritional status.Among the general data with significant differences between the two groups,TNM is stageⅣ(OR=2.275,95％CI:1.242-4.169),Accompanied by digestive system adverse reactions(OR=2.142,95％CI:1.133-4.050),Low albumin(OR=2.601,95％CI:1.370-4.937),Low hemoglobin(OR=2.697,95％CI:1.483-4.903),Low prealbumin(OR=2.686,95％CI:1.460-4.941)is a risk factor for malnutrition in patients with lung cancer undergoing chemotherapy(P＜0.05).Based on the above related risk factors,a nomogram model was established to predict the occurrence of malnutrition in patients with lung cancer undergoing chemotherapy.ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC value and 95％CI of the model for predicting malnutrition in patients with lung cancer undergoing chemotherapy were 0.972 and 0.918-0.995.The calibration curve results show that the nomogram model has a good fitting degree.Conclusion TNM is stage Ⅳ,accompanied by digestive system adverse reactions,low KPS score before chem-otherapy and low levels of albumin,hemoglobin and prealbumin are all related risk factors for malnutrition in patients with lung cancer un-dergoing chemotherapy.The nomograph model based on this is also of high predictive value.

Objective:To report the nationwide surveillance results of pathogenic profiles and antimicrobial resistance patterns of Gram-positive bloodstream infections in China in 2023.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-posttive bacteria from blood cultures were collected in member hospitals of National Bloodstream Infection Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System（BRICS）during January to December 2023.

Objective:To explore the design requirements of nurses in the Neurointensive Care Unit (NICU) for the closed-eye pupil monitoring system, providing reference for the refinement and upgrade of the system.Methods:This study was descriptive and qualitative. From December 2024 to February 2025, 15 NICU nurses from Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School, were selected using purposive sampling for semi-structured interviews. Content analysis method was used to analyze data and extract key themes.Results:NICU nurses' design requirements for closed-eye pupil monitoring system were categorized into six themes and 18 sub-themes, namely physical characteristics requirements (strong device stability, compact and lightweight design), comfort and safety requirements (wear comfort and safety, prevention of light source thermal injury, convenient disinfection and infection control, assisting eyelid closure), functional requirements (automated monitoring and data collection, intelligent alarm and alert mechanisms), operational requirements (ready-to-use, easy to wear, simple operation), data monitoring requirements (data storage and integrity, data visualization and timeliness, data analysis and prediction, system integration and data management), and extended functional requirements (consciousness state monitoring, fundus lesion examination, vision and visual field screening) .Conclusions:NICU nurses' design requirements for the closed-eye pupil monitoring system are multidimensional and multi-level. System developers should continuously optimize system design based on the actual needs of nurses.

Acute pancreatitis(AP)is a common and severe digestive disease in dogs,characterized by a high recurrence rate and complications that significantly impact canine health.This study in-vestigates the mechanism by which adipose-derived stem cells(ADSCs)regulate the CHOP/Bcl-2 pathway to mitigate acute pancreatic injury in dogs.Twenty Beagle dogs were randomly divided in-to four groups:a Sham group,an AP model group,an ADSCs treatment group,and a conditioned medium(CM)treatment group.The AP model was established by injecting a mixed solution of trypsin and sodium taurocholate into the AP model group.The ADSCs treatment group received intravenous injections of ADSCs immediately following surgery,while the CM treatment group re-ceived conditioned medium preparations.Pancreatic tissue was collected 24 hours post-surgery,and changes in the CHOP/Bcl-2 pathway were assessed using histopathology,transmission electron microscopy,western blotting,fluorescence quantification,immunofluorescence,and TUNEL stai-ning.The results indicated that AP induced significant interstitial edema,hemorrhage,inflammato-ry cell infiltration,chromatin contraction,and endoplasmic reticulum swelling,the expression lev-els of GRP78 and CHOP were found to be elevated,whereas the expression of Bcl-2 was downreg-ulated.Additionally,the expression levels of BAX,JNK,Caspase-3,and Caspase-12 increased,leading to an increased rate of cell apoptosis.Such changes result in an elevated apoptosis rate and a further decrease in Bcl-2 expression.Both ADSCs and CM therapy were found to alleviate the path-ological damage in pancreatic tissue,resulting in downregulation of CHOP and apoptosis-related markers,upregulation of Bcl-2,and a reduction in the apoptosis rate.The results of this study sug-gest that ADSCs may mitigate acute pancreatic injury induced by trypsin and sodium taurocholate in AP dogs by modulating the CHOP/Bcl-2 pathway.Targeted modulation of the transcriptional activity of CHOP may offer novel therapeutic approaches for AP.

AIM:To explore the impact of chronic stress on postoperative cognitive dysfunction in rats and to elucidate the mechanistic link to histone deacetylase 2(HDAC2).METHODS:A repeated social defeat stress model and a prolonged isoflurane anesthesia model were established in mice.The rats were randomly assigned to four groups:control(Ctrl)group,isoflurane anesthesia(Iso)group,chronic social defeat stress(RSDS)group,and chronic social de-feat stress combined with isoflurane anesthesia(RSDS+Iso)group.Anxiety-like behaviors were evaluated using the social avoidance test and the novelty-suppressed feeding test.Cognitive function was assessed through the novel object recogni-tion test and the Morris water maze.Plasma corticosterone levels were measured via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Primary hippocampal neurons were isolated from fetal mouse hippocampi and classified into four groups:con-trol group,chronic stress combined with prolonged isoflurane anesthesia(Cort+Iso)group,CAY-10683 intervention(CAY),and CAY-10683 treatment(CAY+Cort+Iso)group.Cell viability was determined using CCK-8 assay,and pro-tein expression levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)and HDAC2 were analyzed by Western blot.RE-SULTS:The RSDS mouse model was successfully established,with ELISA results indicating a significant increase in plasma corticosterone levels in mice subjected to chronic stress combined with prolonged isoflurane anesthesia.Behavioral assessments and Western blot analyses revealed that mice exposed to prolonged isoflurane anesthesia following chronic stress showed marked declines in cognitive function and hippocampal BDNF protein expression levels.Additionally,chronic stress significantly elevated HDAC2 protein expression in the hippocampi of mice undergoing prolonged isoflurane anesthesia.Treatment with an HDAC2 inhibitor reduced HDAC2 protein expression in primary hippocampal neurons sub-jected to chronic stress combined with prolonged isoflurane anesthesia,concurrently increasing BDNF protein expression levels.CONCLUSION:Chronic stress significantly worsens postoperative cognitive dysfunction induced by prolonged isoflurane anesthesia,associated with increased HDAC2 protein expression in the hippocampus.Inhibition of HDAC2 ef-fectively counteracts the reduction in BDNF,a protein crucial for cognitive function,caused by the combination of chronic stress and prolonged isoflurane anesthesia.

Objective:To explore the effects of simultaneous transplantation of multiple foot flaps in repairing defects of varying degrees on the palmar side of multiple fingers.Methods:This study was a retrospective observational study. From February 2020 to March 2023, 11 patients aged 23-52 years with defects on the palmar side of multiple fingers (with 38 affected fingers) meeting the inclusion criteria were hospitalized at Longgang Orthopedics Hospital of Shenzhen, including 8 males (with 31 affected fingers) and 3 females (with 7 affected fingers). All affected fingers sustained skin and soft tissue defects, along with exposed deep tissue such as finger bones and tendons, and 2 thumbs exhibited nail bed and distal phalanx defects. The defect area of each finger ranged from 1.5 cm×1.0 cm to 5.5 cm×3.0 cm. Foot flaps were designed based on the area and depth of the finger defects, and multiple foot flaps were transplanted simultaneously to repair the wounds of fingers. The area of single flap resected ranged from 2.0 cm×1.0 cm to 5.5 cm×3.0 cm. Donor site wounds were closed directly or covered using artificial dermis or split-thickness skin grafts. The number of resected flaps, the number of affected fingers repaired, and the surgical duration were recorded. The flap survival and foot donor site wound healing were observed postoperatively. The flap and donor and recipient sites recovery were observed during follow-up. At the final follow-up, the functional recovery of affected fingers was evaluated based on the trial criteria of the Chinese Medical Association's Hand Surgery Society for function evaluation of thumb and finger reconstruction, the sensory function of the flaps was assessed by the sensory function evaluation standard of the British Medical Research Council, the cold tolerance of the affected hands was evaluated with the Cold Intolerance Severity Scale, the scars at the recipient and donor sites were assessed using the Vancouver scar scale (VSS), and the function recovery of flap donor foot was evaluated with the Maryland Foot Score criteria.Results:Donor sites were selected from 16 feet with 2-4 flaps harvested from each foot. Specifically, skin and soft tissue defects in 27 affected fingers were repaired using free lateral toe flaps, skin and soft tissue defects in 9 affected fingers were repaired using free medial foot flaps, and skin and soft tissue defects with finger bone defects in 2 affected fingers were repaired using free toenail osteocutaneous flaps. The surgical duration ranged from 5.60 to 9.25 hours. Postoperatively, all transplanted flaps in affected fingers survived, and all foot donor site wounds healed. Follow-up for 12-25 months showed that the appearance, color, and texture of the flaps were similar to the surrounding normal skin. The affected finger pulp was full with the fingertip having restored pain and touch sensation. There was no pain in the donor site of foot, and the walking ability of patients was not affected. At the final follow-up, the functional recovery was evaluated as excellent for 36 affected fingers and good for 2 affected fingers. The sensory function rating of the flaps was graded as S3-S4, and all affected fingers were mild intolerant to cold. VSS scores of the scars at the recipient sites ranged from 1-3, and VSS scores of the scars at the donor sites ranged from 1-5. The functional recovery of all flap donor feet was excellent.Conclusions:Simultaneous transplantation of multiple foot flaps is an effective treatment method for repairing defects of varying degrees on the palmar side of multiple fingers, resulting in excellent aesthetic and functional recovery of the affected fingers while causing minimal damage to the donor site.
