Objective:To investigate the value of serum miR-145 and matrixmetallo proteinase-2 (MMP-2) levels in predicting pathologic complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer.Methods:125 patients with triple-negative breast cancer who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the Hospital from Jan. 2022 to Dec. 2023 were prospectively included as the study objects, and 130 healthy people matching the age of the case group who underwent physical examination in our hospital during the same period were included as the healthy control group. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the serum miR-145 level of all subjects. Serum MMP-2 levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). After neoadjuvant chemotherapy, patients were evaluated according to Miller-Payne (MP) grading criteria and divided into pCR group and non-PCR group.Results:The serum miR-145 level in patients with tertiary breast cancer was 1.49±0.27, which was significantly lower than that in healthy control group (2.79±0.49), with statistical significance ( t=20.33, P<0.001). The serum MMP-2 level in triple negative breast cancer patients was (153.07±38.36) ng/mL, which was significantly higher than that in healthy control group (84.38±12.63) ng/mL, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=26.13, P<0.001). After neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the serum miR-145 level in non-PCR patients before treatment was 1.36±0.21, which was significantly lower than that in pCR group (1.74±0.20), with statistical significance ( t=9.93, P<0.001). After neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the serum MMP-2 level in non-PCR patients before treatment was (169.57±30.45) ng/mL, which was significantly higher than that in pCR group (121.61±31.79) ng/mL, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=8.24, P<0.001). Pearson correlation analysis showed that there was a significant negative correlation between serum miR-145 and MMP-2 levels in patients with triple-negative breast cancer before treatment ( r=-0.47, P<0.001). ROC curve analysis results showed that serum miR-145 and MMP-2 levels before treatment predicted the sensitivity and specificity of pCR after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer were 82.9% and 74.4%, 45.1% and 99.8%, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of pCR after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer were 84.1% and 88.4%, respectively. Conclusion:Serum miR-145 and MMP-2 levels are related to the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with triple-negative breast cancer, and the combined application of the two has certain predictive value.

Objective To analyze the factors related to early allograft dysfunction(EAD)after liver transplantation and to construct a predictive model.Methods A total of 375 patients who underwent liver transplantation in our hospital from December 2008 to December 2021 were collected,including 90 patients with EAD and 266 patients without EAD.Thirty items of baseline data for the 2 groups were compared and analyzed.Aftergrouping in a ratio of 7∶3,univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used in the training set to evaluate the factors related to EAD and construct a nomogram.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve,decision curve analysis(DCA),sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value,Kappa value and other indicators were used to evaluate the model performance.Results The incidence of EAD after liver transplantation was 24%.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative tumor recurrence history(OR=3.15,95%CI:1.28～7.77,P=0.013)and operation time(OR=1.22,95%CI:1.04～1.42,P=0.015)were related to the occurrence of EAD after surgery.After predicting the outcome according to the cut-off point of 0.519 identified by the Youden index,the model performance in the both training set and validation set was acceptable.DCA suggested the model has good clinical applicability.Conclusion The risk factors for EAD after liver transplantation are preoperative tumor recurrence history and operation time,and the established model has predictive effect on prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the status quo of intravenous (IV) infusion device selection among hospitalized children and provide direction for improving practices related to the selection of infusion devices.Methods:A total of 1 306 hospitalized children undergoing IV infusion treatment in 11 clinical departments of Children's Hospital of Fudan University in June 2021 were selected by convenience sampling. A self-developed data collection form for the selection of IV infusion devices in hospitalized children and criteria for the appropriateness of IV infusion device selection were used to survey and evaluate the appropriateness of IV infusion device selection among these children.Results:IV infusion devices were found to have been appropriately selected in 1 137 of the 1 306 children, while these devices were inappropriately selected in 169 children. The inappropriate selection was primarily due to the improper choice of peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVC), with 155 cases involving the administration of non-peripheral compatible medications through PIVC. No significant statistical difference was found in the appropriateness of IV infusion device selection between the infant group and the child and adolescent group ( P>0.05). Significant differences were observed in the appropriateness of IV infusion device selection based on different physicochemical properties of medications and the duration of therapy ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:The standardization of IV infusion device selection among hospitalized children needs improvement. It is urgent to apply evidence from the Clinical Practice Evidence- Based Guidelines for Pediatric Intravenous Therapy regarding recommendations for IV infusion device selection, to initiate evidence application projects, and to standardize the selection of IV infusion devices.

Objective:To construct a program for improving care ability of caregivers for children with home enteral tube feeding (HETF) based on timing theory, and explore its preliminary effects.Methods:Based on the framework of timing theory and literature review, intervention measures to improve the care ability of caregivers for children with HETF were extracted and summarized to form a preliminary program draft. Fourteen caregivers with experience in caring for children with HETF were subjected to qualitative interviews to supplement the content of the program, and the program was revised through expert meetings to form the final draft. Non-synchronous control method was adopted, and 89 children with HETF and 89 caregivers of them admitted to the Children's Hospital of Fudan University from March 2022 to February 2023 were continuously included as study subjects. The children and their caregivers included from March to August 2022 were in control group ( n=42), and the children and their caregivers included from September 2022 to February 2023 were in intervention group ( n=47), and the plan was preliminarily applied. Family Caregiver Task Inventory (FCTI) was used to evaluate the impact of the program on improving caregiver care ability. Age specific body weight z-values, height specific body weight z-values, and complications were used to evaluate the impact of the program on the growth and development of children and the incidence of tube feeding complications. The data was collected at the time of enrollment and one, two, and three months after discharge. Results:There were 66 children who completed the whole study, including 33 children in the control group and the intervention group, and 33 caregivers in each group. The application results showed that the total score of FCTI in the intervention group decreased from (25.91±2.94) at enrollment to (5.85±2.60) at three months after discharge, while the total score of FCTI in the control group decreased from (26.12±4.34) at enrollment to (12.52±3.60) at three months after discharge, and the total score of FCTI in both groups decreased over time. At one, two, and three months after discharge, the total FCTI score of the intervention group was lower than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). At three months after discharge, the incidence of complications in children with HETF in the intervention group was lower than that in the control group with a statistical difference ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The program for improving care ability of caregivers for children with HETF based on timing theory is scientific and provides basis for the management of home tube feeding of children.

Peripheral bacterial infections without impaired blood-brain barrier integrity have been attributed to the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Peripheral infection promotes innate immune training in microglia and exacerbates neuroinflammation. However, how changes in the peripheral environment mediate microglial training and exacerbation of infection-related PD is unknown. In this study, we demonstrate that GSDMD activation was enhanced in the spleen but not in the CNS of mice primed with low-dose LPS. GSDMD in peripheral myeloid cells promoted microglial immune training, thus exacerbating neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration during PD in an IL-1R-dependent manner. Furthermore, pharmacological inhibition of GSDMD alleviated the symptoms of PD in experimental PD models. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that GSDMD-induced pyroptosis in myeloid cells initiates neuroinflammation by regulating microglial training during infection-related PD. Based on these findings, GSDMD may serve as a therapeutic target for patients with PD.

Myocardial dysfunction is the most serious complication of sepsis. Sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction (SMD) is often associated with gastrointestinal dysfunction, but its pathophysiological significance remains unclear. The present study found that patients with SMD had higher plasma gastrin concentrations than those without SMD. In mice, knockdown of the gastrin receptor, cholecystokinin B receptor (Cckbr), aggravated lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cardiac dysfunction and increased inflammation in the heart, whereas the intravenous administration of gastrin ameliorated SMD and cardiac injury. Macrophage infiltration plays a significant role in SMD because depletion of macrophages by the intravenous injection of clodronate liposomes, 48 h prior to LPS administration, alleviated LPS-induced cardiac injury in Cckbr-deficient mice. The intravenous injection of bone marrow macrophages (BMMs) overexpressing Cckbr reduced LPS-induced myocardial dysfunction. Furthermore, gastrin treatment inhibited toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) expression through the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPAR-α) signaling pathway in BMMs. Thus, our findings provide insights into the mechanism of the protective role of gastrin/CCKBR in SMD, which could be used to develop new treatment modalities for SMD.

This article reviews the recent advances in enteral nutrition management in stroke patients abroad, including screening for malnutrition in stroke patients, timing and methods of enteral nutrition therapy, potential risks and precautions for treatment, in order to provide enteral nutrition for stroke patients in China. Provide a reference for treatment and management.

Objective: To study the effect of warfarin individualized drug regimen based on gene detection on anticoagulation in patients with acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Methods: From January 2016 to June 2017, 62 patients with DVT diagnosed for the first time in vascular surgery of the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical College were analyzed retrospectively, including 33 in the individualized group and 29 in the experience group. All patients were diagnosed by Color Doppler Ultrasound (CDUS). Gender, age, the results of the initial international standardized ratio (INR) measurement, the time from the first dose to the INR standard, and whether the INR exceeds the standard in the process of increasing the dose were collected. Results: There was no significant difference in sex, age and initial INR between the two groups (P>0.05). The time of reaching the standard in the individualized group was significantly lower than that in the experience group [(13.8±6.8)d vs (17.6±7.5)d, P<0.05]; There was no significant difference in INR between the two groups (P=0.377). Conclusions For the patients with DVT for the first time, the individualized drug regimen of warfarin based on the guidance of gene detection can shorten the time of reaching the standard without increasing the risk of bleeding.

Gauze packing and drainage is a routine treatment for various types of fistula and sinus pressure ulcers. Because the external orifice of pressure ulcer or fistula is relatively small and the sinus deep, the conventional gauze packing has many drawbacks. Under the situation the operator is not skillful enough and no appropriate tools, it is necessary to pull the external orifice by tweezers to dilate the sinus and perform gauze packing and drainage, which brings great pain to patients, possibly leading to wound enlargement and delayed healing. At present, there is lack of auxiliary tools to improve gauze packing. Therefore, we developed and designed a gauze filler for packing and drainage of various kinds of fistula and sinus pressure ulcers, the device has the following advantages: good drainage effect, simple operation, low cost, safety and effectiveness. It not only improves the comfort of patients, reduces the number of dressing changes, reduce the number of dressing changes, shorten the hospitalization time and pay expense, but also reduces the burden of medical workers thus it is worthwhile to popularize and apply the newly designed gauze filler in clinical practice.
