Objective To establish an intelligent detection algorithm model for acute promyelocytic leukemia(M3 model)based on a contrast large model using machine learning statistical software and validate its effectiveness.Methods The data from 8 256 outpa-tients and inpatients who underwent complete blood cell analysis at Peking Union Medical College Hospital were retrieved and analyzed using the laboratory information system(LIS)and hospital information system(HIS).A M3 screening model was established and vali-dated using the data from outpatients and inpatients who underwent complete blood cell analysis at our hospital from July to October 2023.Results The M3 model demonstrated potential application value in screening for M3 disease in complete blood cell analysis,which showed certain efficacy in screening for neutrophil toxicity changes,particularly in identifying two cases of blue-green inclusion bodies in neutrophils.Conclusion The M3 model exhibited low specificity for M3 diagnosis.Future research should focus on increas-ing the number of M3-positive cases to optimize the model,ensuring high sensitivity while improving specificity.This model will provide assistance for the intelligent review of complete blood cell analysis.

Phage therapy is one of the most important tools for the treatment of infections with multi-drug resistant bacteria. Such phages are usually isolated from hospital effluents, however, no systematic study on the distribution of phages in hospital effluents has been conducted so far. The aim of this study was to isolate the corresponding phages of common pathogenic bacteria isolated in the clinic as hosts, so as to assess the ecological distribution of phages in hospital wastewater and to provide a reference for the isolation and application of phages of drug-resistant bacteria in the clinic. A cross-sectional study design was used in this study. The 125 pathogenic bacteria (belonging to 16 different strains) isolated from the clinical microbiology laboratory of Qilu Hospital of Shandong University from May to June 2023 were selected as the target strains, and the phages corresponding to these strains were isolated and purified from the hospital wastewater by using the double-layer plate sandwich method. At the same time, the distribution of pathogenic bacteria in the same batch of wastewater was analyzed with the help of mNGS sequencing technology, so as to preliminarily investigate the abundance correspondence between pathogenic bacteria and phages in wastewater. The results showed that a total of 56 phage strains were isolated from 125 clinical pathogens as hosts, corresponding to six pathogens, including Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. All six pathogenic bacteria contained strains with different degrees of drug resistance, with a higher percentage of multi-drug resistant strains in A. baumannii, Escherichia coli and P. aeruginosa. The phage acquisition rates of these six pathogens were, in descending order, Escherichia coli (80%), Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (75%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (70%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (66.67%), Acinetobacter baumannii (36.36%) and Staphylococcus aureus (12.5%). Preliminary mNGS sequencing results showed that the pathogenic bacteria with higher abundance in the batch of effluent were Enterococcus faecalis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella aerogenes, Klebsiella michiganensis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In conclusion, phages of most common clinical Gram-negative pathogens were isolated from hospital wastewater with high isolation rates; however, phages of Gram-positive pathogens were isolated at lower rates, and only phages corresponding to Staphylococcus aureus were isolated in this study. The corresponding mNGS sequencing results showed that the distribution of Gram-negative pathogens in sewage may had a positive correlation with the ecological distribution of phages.

Objective To investigate the protective effect and mechanism of siwei tumuxiang powder(STP)on the model of H9c2 cardiomyocytes hypertrophy induced by mechanical stretching in rats.Methods The STP drug-containing serum and the hypertrophic cell model were prepared,and the optimal dose and time of action of STP drug-containing serum were determined.The expressions of at-rial natriuretic peptide(ANP),brain natriuretic peptide(BNP),miR-34a-5p,Notch1 and other factors in H9c2 cardiomyocytes were detected to verify whether STP exerted a protective effect on H9c2 cardiomyocytes by regulating the miR-34a-5p/Notch1 pathway.Results The optimal dose(0.972g/kg)of STP drug-containing serum was low-dose,and the action time was 24 hours.STP de-creased the expressions of ANP,BNP and miR-34a-5p in model cells(P＜0.05).Transfection of miR-34a-5p mimic reversed the effect of STP on ANP and BNP expressions(P＜0.05).Knocking down Notch1 by siRNA reversed the effect of STP on ANP and BNP ex-pressions(P＜0.05).Notch1 was the direct target gene of miR-34a-5p,and miR-34a-5p decreased the expression of Notch1(P＜0.05).After STP intervention,the expression of Notch1,NICD1 and Hes1 proteins were decreased.Transfection of miR-34a-5p mim-ic reversed the effect of STP on the expressions of Notch1,NICD1 and Hes1 proteins(P＜0.05).Conclusion STP exerts a protective effect on mechanical stretch-induced H9c2 cardiomyocyte hypertrophy by miR-34a-5p to negatively regulate the Notch1 signaling pathway.

Background Due to the prominent particularity of medical work,nurses are prone to developing depression,which not only poses a considerable threat to the physical and mental health of nurses,but also affects the quality of nursing to some extent.Occupational stress is a known contributor to depression in nurses,whereas relatively little research has been done to investigate the underlying mediation path.Objective To explore the mediation effect of perceived organizational support and psychological capital on the relationship between occupational stress and depression among nurses,and to provide theoretical references for the prevention and treatment of occupational stress-induced depression in nurses.Methods From March to August 2019,a stratified random sampling method was utilized to select a sample size of 720 nurses in each department of a grade A tertiary hospital in Shandong Province.All subjects were assessed using Effort-Reward Imbalance Questionnaire(ERI),Perceived Organization Support Questionnaire(POS),Psychological Capital Questionnaire(PCQ)and Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale(CES-D).Pearson correlation was adopted to examine the correlation among above scales,and multilevel mediation analyses were conducted with model 6 in Process macro(version 3.3)for SPSS 26.0 using Bootstrap re-sampling method.Results A total of 658 nurses(91.39%)completed the effective questionnaire survey.ERI score was positively correlated with CES-D score(r=0.499,P<0.01),and negatively correlated with POS and PCQ scores(r=-0.318,-0.275,P<0.01).POS score was positively correlated with PCQ score(r=0.455,P<0.01),and negatively correlated with CES-D score(r=-0.401,P<0.01).PCQ score was negatively correlated with CES-D score(r=-0.567,P<0.01).The total effect value of occupational stress on depression was 0.466(95%CI:0.399～0.534).Perceived organizational support(indirect effect value of 0.027,95%CI:0.006～0.057)and psychological capital(indirect effect value of 0.059,95%CI:0.013～0.120),separately from each other,mediated the relationship between occupational stress and depression,and a chained mediation effect of perceived organizational support and psychological capital was also demonstrated(indirect effect value of 0.051,95%CI:0.031～0.082),accounting for 10.94%of the total effect.Conclusion Occupational stress is a influencing factor of nurses' depression,which can affect the occurrence of depression both directly and indirectly through either separate or chained mediation of perceived organizational support and psychological capital.

Objective:To investigate the application of virtual reality (VR) technology on intraoperative pain in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD)-related procedures with local infiltration anesthesia and the satisfaction.Methods:It was a single-center, prospective, concurrent controlled study. Patients were divided into two groups: VR group and control group. In the VR group, patients wore a VR headset to watch soothing audio and video content during surgery, while the control group underwent routine procedures. Intraoperative pain and satisfaction were assessed using the visual analog scale (VAS) and a 5-point satisfaction scale within 30 minutes of surgery. In addition, tolerance of the VR experience in the VR group was assessed using the VR sickness questionnaire.Results:A total of 43 patients were included in the study, including 25 males (58.1%). Chronic glomerulonephritis [17 cases (39.5%)] and diabetic nephropathy [6 cases (14.0%)] were the main primary diseases. There were 23 cases in the control group and 20 cases in the VR group. There were no significant differences between the two groups in age, sex ratio, proportion of primary disease, diabetes, hypertension, distribution of operation methods, preoperative vital signs and operation time (all P>0.05). VAS pain score was significantly lower in the VR group than that in the control group (5.90±2.38 vs. 7.43±1.67, t=2.469, P=0.018). The percentage of patients who were satisfied was 89.5% (17/19) in the VR group and 78.3% (18/23) in the control group, but there was no significant difference (chi-square test for continuity correction, χ2=0.308, P=0.579). Three patients in the VR group withdrew from the study due to severe discomfort, while the remaining participants found the VR experience to be tolerable. Common adverse effects included fatigue and blurred vision. Conclusions:The application of VR technology in PD-related procedures has been effective in reducing intraoperative pain when combined with local infiltration anesthesia. Furthermore, the utilization of VR technology in PD-related procedures is associated with a safe and tolerable outcome, despite the observation of some adverse effects.

The correlation between hearing loss (HL) and physical performance in patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) remains poorly investigated. This study explored the association between HL and physical performance in patients on MHD. Methods: This multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted between July 2020 and April 2021 in seven hemodialysis centers in Shanghai and Suzhou, China. The hearing assessment was performed using pure-tone average (PTA). Physical performance was assessed using the Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT), handgrip strength, and gait speed. Results: Finally, 838 adult patients (male, 516 [61.6%]; 61.2 ± 2.6 years) were enrolled. Among them, 423 (50.5%) had mild to profound HL (male, 48.6% and female, 53.4%). Patients with HL had poorer physical performance than patients without HL (p < 0.001). TUGT was positively correlated with PTA (r = 0.265, p < 0.001), while handgrip strength and gait speed were negatively correlated with PTA (r = –0.356, p < 0.001 and r = –0.342, p < 0.001, respectively). Physical performance in patients aged <60 years showed significant dose-response relationships with HL. After adjusting for confounders, the odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for HL across the TUGT quartiles (lowest to highest) were 1.00 (reference), 1.15 (0.73–1.81), 1.69 (1.07–2.70), and 2.87 (1.69–4.88) (p for trend = 0.005). Conclusion: Lower prevalence of HL was associated with a faster TUGT and a stronger handgrip strength in patients on MHD.

Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTL) is an extremely rare, indolent skin malignancy that can be difficult to distinguish from autoimmune disease-associated panniculitides. Here, we describe a 12-year-old boy who was diagnosed at age 7 years with dermatomyositis with classical manifestations, including poikiloderma, Gottron’s sign, and symmetric muscle weakness. Recently, the boy presented multiple subcutaneous nodules and fever. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining revealed coexistence of SPTL. To our knowledge, this is the first case of dermatomyositis accompanied with SPTL. This case alert clinical physicians of the possibility of SPTL should be considered when a patient with dermatomyositis has new lesions presenting as nodules and unknown fever.

Objective:To analyze the correlation between body mass index (BMI) and the graded expression, subcutaneous depth, and diameter of elbow veins (cephalic vein, median vein, basilic vein) in patients with metabolic syndrome, to provide a method and theoretical basis for precise puncture of peripheral veins in obese patients.Methods:From January to October 2021, a total of 767 patients with metabolic syndrome with gastric volume reduction were selected as the study subjects by retrospective cohort study from the first Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University. According to the quartile Q1, M and Q3 of BMI level, they were divided into four groups: group A, group B, group C and group D. The subcutaneous depth and diameter of the cephalic vein, median vein and basilic vein were measured by B-ultrasound, and the three veins were evaluated and graded according to the grading criteria of superficial veins.The correlation between BMI and the subcutaneous depth and diameter of the three elbow veins was analyzed, and collected data such as puncture method and puncture times. Results:There was no significant correlation between BMI and subcutaneous depth and vessel diameter of the basilic vein ( r = 0.041 and 0.046, both P>0.05), the level of BMI was positively correlated with the subcutaneous depth and diameter of cephalic vein ( r = 0.275 and 0.117, both P<0.05) and median vein ( r = 0.236 and 0.148, both P<0.05), and a linear regression relationship was found ( OR values were 1.013-1.031, all P<0.05). 187 cases had direct puncture conditions under direct vision, and the success rate of one puncture was 86.63%(162/187).Venipuncture was completed under the guidance of B-mode ultrasound for 25 cases with failure under direct vision and 580 cases without direct puncture conditions under direct vision, the success rate of one puncture was 98.51% (596/605). Conclusions:With the increase of BMI level in patients with metabolic syndrome, the depth and diameter of both cephalic vein and median vein increase, venous exposure is difficult to express. The visual vein puncture guided by B-ultrasound is more accurate and catheterization is more reliable.

Melanoma is a common and highly malignant tumor with rapid development, poor prognosis and high mortality in the field of plastic surgery. The incidence rate around the world is increasing year by year and the mortality rate ranks first among skin and soft tissue tumors. The rapid development of targeted and immunotherapeutic drugs has greatly improved the prognosis of patients with advanced melanoma. Currently, the improvement of curative effect brought by monotherapy with mainstream targeted drugs is still limited, and the overall remission rate is about 20%. A large number of clinical trials of non first-line and potential targeted drugs have been carried out, showing the value of these drugs and potential targets to clinicians. This article mainly reviews the potential targets and clinical trials of melanoma, in order to help clinicians better understand the prospect of targeted treatments of the disease and find more effective therapeutic drugs.
