With the rapid development of network technology, live surgery has become the new way of surgery teaching. However, the issue of patient privacy protection caused by live surgery has received widespread attention. Based on the evolutionary game theory, this paper constructed an evolutionary game model from the three-party perspectives of doctors, patients, and government and analyzed the game behaviors of the three parties in the process of live surgery. Matlab software was utilized to conduct dynamic simulation and numerical simulation analysis. It was found that the factors affecting the choice of doctors’ strategies included protection costs, the cost of privacy leakage, the benefits of protection, high-traffic benefits, and other aspects; the factors affecting the choice of patient strategies encompassed surgical costs, the risk of privacy leakage, additional benefits, and other aspects; the factors affecting the choice of government strategies embodied regulatory costs and the improvement of credibility. To realize a win-win situation among doctors, patients, and the government, the three parties need to work together to ensure that patient privacy is not violated and find a balance between expanding the influence of medical education and protecting patient privacy.

ObjectiveTo understand the current situation of medical damage liability disputes involving breach of the duty to inform in China, analyze the factors influencing the types of medical staff’s breach of the duty to inform, and explore the notification problems of medical staff in clinical practice. On these foundations, suggestions were proposed to improve the performance of the duty to inform and reduce medical disputes. MethodsUsing public cases from the China Judgements Online as the data source, the relationship between risk points and types of breach of duty to inform was analyzed using the Chi-square test. Logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the influencing factors of the types of breach of the duty to inform, and qualitative research summarized the specific contents of breach of the duty to inform. ResultsThere were differences in the effects of factors, including whether the patient was hospitalized, whether surgery was performed, whether Intensive Care Unit (ICU) treatment was required, the level of the medical institution, and whether a consultation occurred, on the types of breach of the duty to inform (P<0.05). Whether surgery was performed was an influencing factor for the types of breach of the duty to inform. Qualitative research showed that the contents of breach of duty to inform primarily involve risk, treatment plan, and deficiencies in disease notification. ConclusionStrengthening the performance of the medical staff’s duty to inform should mainly focus on the medical side, coordinating with multiple parties and taking measures to improve the performance of the duty to inform, to reduce unnecessary medical disputes.

ObjectiveTo analyze the spectrum distribution characteristics of high-intensity productive noise in key industries in Guangdong Province. Methods A total of 2 806 enterprises in 21 prefecture-level cities in Guangdong Province were selected as the study subjects using the stratified sampling method. On-site investigations were conducted in workplaces. Noise in workplaces and work-sites, and the noise spectrum of the workplaces with sound pressure level ≥85.0 dB(A) were detected. Results The noise of a total of 23 076 workplaces and 20 969 work sites from 30 key industries were monitored. The median (M) and 25th and 75th percentiles (P25, P75) of workplace sound pressure level were 82.3 (78.6, 86.5) dB(A). The rate of the noise exceeded national standard was 30.4%. The sound pressure level M (P25, P75) of work-site was 78.6 (70.0, 83.5) dB(A). The rate of the noise exceeded national standard was 18.0%. Workplace noise and work site noise were positively correlated (Spearman correlation coefficient=0.86, P<0.01). The rate of the noise exceeded national standard was 46.5% in key work sites where the rate of noise exceeded the national standard was ≥25.0%, and corresponding rate of the workplace noise exceeded national standard was 58.1%. The noise spectrum result of 5 636 workplaces sound pressure level>85.0 dB(A) showed that most of the noise source was from grinding machines (441 cases), and the highest average sound pressure level of noise source was from screening machines [93.0 dB(A)]. Cluster analysis results showed that the main noise sources could be divided into three categories, including wideband noise with levels >80.0 dB in all frequency bands except 8 000.0 Hz, medium-high-frequency noise with the highest sound pressure level at 1 000.0, 2 000.0, and 4 000.0 Hz and low frequencies <75.0 dB, and medium-low-frequency noise below 500.0 Hz with sound pressure level >85.0 dB. Conclusion The rate of the noise exceeded national standard in workplace of key industries in Guangdong Province is high, involving a wide range of industries, with high sound pressure levels and obvious spectrum characteristics of corresponding noise sources. Corresponding noise control strategies can be formulated based on different spectrum characteristics and magnitudes.

Objective:To explore the expressions and clinical significances of tripartite motif-containing protein 28 (TRIM28), 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK1), and N-cadherin in pancreatic carcinoma.Methods:A total of 72 patients diagnosed with pancreatic carcinoma underwent radical resection in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Binzhou People′s Hospital from January 2009 to November 2022 were selected, all of which were pathologically diagnosed as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of TRIM28, PDK1, and N-cadherin in 72 cases of pancreatic carcinoma and paracancerous tissues, to explore the correlation between the expression of them and the clinicopathological features of pancreatic carcinoma, and to analyze the influence of their expression and clinicopathological characteristics on the prognosis of patients. The count data were expressed as the number of cases and percentage, and the Chi-square test was used for comparison between groups. Spearman method was used for correlation analysis. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis, and Log-rank test was used to compare the survival rate, and univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis were used to analyze the risk factors affecting prognosis.Results:The positive rates of TRIM28 (72.22%), PDK1 (65.28%) and N-cadherin (61.11%) in PDAC were significantly higher than those in para-cancerous tissues (26.39%, 33.33%, 34.72%). Moreover, the patients with high expression of the three had the characteristics of low differentiation, late stage, and lymph node metastasis ( P<0.05). TRIM28 was positively correlated with PDK1 and N-cadherin expression in PDAC ( r=0.720, P<0.001; r=0.714, P<0.001), N-cadherin and PDK1 expression in PDAC was also positively correlated ( r=0.854, P<0.001). Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that the 2-year survival rate of patients with positive TRIM28, PDK1 and N-cadherin (13.46%, 14.89%, 13.64%) was significantly lower than that of patients with negative tumor (50.00%, 40.00%, 39.29%), the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that patients with poor differentiation, nerve infiltration and lymph node metastasis, TNM stage Ⅲ+ Ⅳ, TRIM28 positive, PDK1 positive and N-cadherin positive had a significantly increased risk of death within 2 years after surgery ( P<0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that poor differentiation, nerve infiltration, TNM stage Ⅲ+ Ⅳ and TRIM28 positive were independent risk factors for poor prognosis of patients with PDAC ( P<0.05). Conclusions:TRIM28, PDK1 and N-cadherin are highly expressed in PDAC, and the expression level is significantly correlated with the malignant degree of PDAC. TRIM28 is an independent risk factor for the prognosis of patients with PDAC.

Objective:To investigate the value of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), pediatric sequential organ failure assessment (pSOFA) and pediatric critical illness score (PCIS) in predicting mortality of pediatric sepsis in pediatric intensive care units (PICU) from Southwest China.Methods:This was a prospective multicenter observational study. A total of 447 children with sepsis admitted to 12 PICU in Southwest China from April 2022 to March 2023 were enrolled. Based on the prognosis, the patients were divided into survival group and non-survival group. The physiological parameters of SIRS, pSOFA and PCIS were recorded and scored within 24 h after PICU admission. The general clinical data and some laboratory results were recorded. The area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curve was used to compare the predictive value of SIRS, pSOFA and PCIS in mortality of pediatric sepsis.Results:Amongst 447 children with sepsis, 260 patients were male and 187 patients were female, aged 2.5 (0.8, 7.0) years, 405 patients were in the survival group and 42 patients were in the non-survival group. 418 patients (93.5%) met the criteria of SIRS, and 440 patients (98.4%) met the criteria of pSOFA≥2. There was no significant difference in the number of items meeting the SIRS criteria between the survival group and the non-survival group (3(2, 4) vs. 3(3, 4) points, Z=1.30, P=0.192). The pSOFA score of the non-survival group was significantly higher than that of the survival group (9(6, 12) vs. 4(3, 7) points, Z=6.56, P<0.001), and the PCIS score was significantly lower than that of the survival group (72(68, 81) vs. 82(76, 88) points, Z=5.90, P<0.001). The predictive value of pSOFA (AUC=0.82) and PCIS (AUC=0.78) for sepsis mortality was significantly higher than that of SIRS (AUC=0.56) ( Z=6.59, 4.23, both P<0.001). There was no significant difference between pSOFA and PCIS ( Z=1.35, P=0.176). Platelet count, procalcitonin, lactic acid, albumin, creatinine, total bilirubin, activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time and international normalized ratio were all able to predict mortality of sepsis to a certain degree (AUC=0.64, 0.68, 0.80, 0.64, 0.68, 0.60, 0.77, 0.75, 0.76, all P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with SIRS, both pSOFA and PCIS had better predictive value in the mortality of pediatric sepsis in PICU.

ObjectiveTo determine the mechanism of Yitangkang in correcting excessive apoptosis of skeletal muscle cells to improve insulin resistance (IR) by inhibiting the advanced glycation end product (AGE)/receptor for the advanced glycation end product (RAGE) signaling pathway. Method① In vitro experiments. Yitangkang-medicated serum was prepared. C2C12 cells were divided into a blank group, a model group, high-, medium-, and low-dose Yitangkang-medicated serum groups (40, 20, and 10 g·kg-1), and a RAGE inhibitor group. The IR model was induced by palmitic acid in C2C12 cells except for those in the blank group. After the corresponding intervention methods were conducted,the cell viability and glucose consumption level of each group were determined. In addition,the apoptosis rate was determined using flow cytometry. The mRNA and protein expression levels of the important apoptotic proteins [B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), p53, cysteinyl aspartate-specific protease-3 (Caspase-3), and cysteinyl aspartate-specific protease-9 (Caspase-9)] were determined using Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) and Western blot. ② In vivo experiments. Ninety-six eligible Wistar rats were divided into a blank group, a model group, high-,medium-,and low-dose Yitangkang groups (40, 20, and 10 g·kg-1), and a western medicine group (pioglitazone hydrochloride,1.35 mg·kg-1). The IR model was induced using high-glucose and high-fat feed for diabetes combined with intraperitoneal injection of low-dose streptozotocin (STZ) in animals and verified by the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp (HEC) test. After the model was determined successfully, the rats in each group were given intragastric administration of drugs as required. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay was performed to determine the number of positive apoptotic cells in the skeletal muscle tissues of rats in each group,while Real-time polymerase chain reaction(Real-time PCR) and Western blot were performed to determine the mRNA and protein expression levels of the important apoptotic proteins Bcl-2, Bax, p53, Caspase-3, and Caspase-9. Result① In vitro experiments. compared with the blank group, the model groups showed increased apoptosis rate of C2C12 cells and decreased cell viability and glucose consumption (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the Yitangkang-medicated serum groups and the RAGE inhibitor group showed decreased apoptosis rate of C2C12 cells and increased cell viability and glucose consumption (P<0.01). Compared with the blank group, the model group showed decreased expression levels of Bcl-2 mRNA and protein in C2C12 cells and increased mRNA and protein expression levels of Bax, p53, Caspase-3, and Caspase-9 (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the Yitangkang-medicated serum groups and the RAGE inhibitor group showed increased expression levels of Bcl-2 mRNA and protein in C2C12 cells (P<0.01) and decreased mRNA and protein expression levels of Bax, p53, Caspase-3, and Caspase-9 (P<0.05, P<0.01). ② In vivo experiments. The number of positive apoptotic cells in the skeletal muscle tissues of rats in the model group significantly increased as compared with that in the blank group (P<0.01). The number of positive apoptotic cells in the skeletal muscle tissues of rats in the Yitangkang groups and the western medicine group decreased as compared with that in the model group (P<0.01). Compared with the blank group, the model group showed decreased expression levels of Bcl-2 mRNA and protein in skeletal muscle tissues of rats and increased mRNA and protein expression levels of Bax, p53, Caspase-3, and Caspase-9 (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the Yitangkang groups and the western medicine group showed increased expression levels of Bcl-2 mRNA and protein in skeletal muscle tissues of rats (P<0.01) and decreased mRNA and protein expression levels of Bax, p53, Caspase-3, and Caspase-9 (P<0.05, P<0.01). The medium-dose Yitangkang showed a similar effect as RAGE inhibitor, and the effect was equivalent to that of pioglitazone hydrochloride. ConclusionYitangkang can inhibit skeletal muscle cell apoptosis by inhibiting the AGE/RAGE signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between the cardia morphology under magnetically controlled capsule gastroscopy and the clinical characteristics of subjects.Methods:A total of 216 subjects with gastrointestinal symptoms or receiving physical examination who underwent magnetically controlled capsule gastroscopy at the Department of Gastroenterology, Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital, Capital Medical University from August 2022 to November 2022 were enrolled. All subjects took gastroesophageal reflux disease questionnaire (Gerd-Q) survey. Clinical data of subjects were collected, and images of cardia morphology under magnetically controlled capsule gastroscopy were recorded. The subjects were divided into 4 groups according to differrent cardia morphology based on the degree of relaxation. The clinical characteristics of each group were compared, and the influencing factors for cardia morphology were analyzed.Results:In non-swallowing state, 116 subjects showed good continuous closure of the cardia in plum shape (group A), 33 subjects radial closure of cardia (group B), 46 subjects slightly relaxed linear cardia (group C) and 21 subjects relaxed and continuous opening of cardia in the shape of cave (group D). The ages of subjects in group A, B, C and D were 35.00 (31.00, 42.00) years, 53.00 (37.50, 60.50) years, 61.50 (41.50, 68.25) years and 52.00 (39.00, 70.00) years, respectively, with significant differences ( H=44.348, P<0.001). The Gerd-Q scores of subjects in group A, B, C and D were 1.50 (1.00, 2.00), 3.00 (2.00, 6.50), 8.00 (5.75, 9.00) and 8.00 (7.50, 9.00), respectively, with significant differences ( H=90.788, P<0.001). The body mass index (BMI) of subjects in group A, B, C and D were 22.66 (19.53, 24.70) kg/m 2, 23.44 (21.41, 27.05) kg/m 2, 23.77 (21.19, 26.93) kg/m 2 and 23.73 (19.63,24.79) kg/m 2, respectively, with significant differences ( H=8.114, P=0.044). The degree of cardia relaxation was positively correlated with the age ( rs=0.456, P<0.001), Gerd-Q score ( rs=0.648, P<0.001) and BMI ( rs=0.146, P=0.032) of subjects. Conclusion:The magnetically controlled capsule gastroscopy provides good visualisation of cardia morphology in non-swallowing state. There is a positive correlation between the degree of cardia relaxation under magnetically controlled capsule gastroscopy in non-swallowing state and the subjects' age, Gerd-Q score, and BMI.
