OBJECTIVE To construct three-class (insufficient, normal, excessive) and two-class (insufficient, normal) models for predicting plasma concentration of valproic acid (VPA), and compare the performance of these two models, with the aim of providing a reference for formulating clinical medication strategies. METHODS The clinical data of 480 patients who received VPA treatment and underwent blood concentration test at the Xi’an International Medical Center Hospital were collected from November 2022 to September 2024 (a total of 695 sets of data). In this study, predictive models were constructed for target variables of three-class and two-class models. Feature ranking and selection were carried out using XGBoost scores. Twelve different machine learning algorithms were used for training and validation, and the performance of the models was evaluated using three indexes: accuracy, F1 score, and the area under the working characteristic curve of the subject (AUC). RESULTS XGBoost feature importance scores revealed that in the three-class model, the importance ranking of kidney disease and electrolyte disorders was higher. However, in the two-class model, the importance ranking of these features significantly decreased, suggesting a close association with the excessive blood concentration of VPA. In the three-class model, Random Forest method performed best, with F1 score of 0.704 0 and AUC of 0.519 3 on the test set; while in the two-class model, CatBoost method performed optimally, with F1 score of 0.785 7 and AUC of 0.819 5 on the test set. CONCLUSIONS The constructed three-class model has the ability to predict excessive VPA blood concentration, but its prediction and model generalization abilities are poor; the constructed two-class model can only perform classification prediction for insufficient and normal blood concentration cases, but its model performance is stronger.

Background Enhancing the sense of honor and belonging among medical staff is a key component of establishing a modern hospital management system. Compared to medical staff at general hospitals, medical staff at oncology hospitals are more prone to job burnout, yet few studies in China have focused on job burnout among employees in oncology hospitals. Objective To propose a hypothetical model in which job well-being moderates the relationship between stressors and occupational burnout, to explore how stressors influence burnout and potential moderating role of job well-being, and to provide better understanding of job burnout and motivate employees based on the double-edge sword effect of stressors. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted in May 2022 at a tertiary oncology specialty hospital in Chongqing, China. A total of 1 898 medical staff were recruited. Data were collectedthrough four scales including a general information questionnaire, Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Service Survey, Work Stressor Scale, and Occupational Well-being Scale for Medical Staff. Independent sample t-tests and one-way ANOVA were used for univariate comparisons of job burnout. Pearson correlation analysis was employed to examine the relationships between job burnout, stressors, and job well-being. Hierarchical linear regression was conducted to identify factors influencing job burnout and to examine potential moderating role of job well-being in the relationship between stressors and job burnout. Results A total of 2 123 questionnaires were distributed, with 1 898 valid responses, yielding an effective response rate of 89.4%. The prevalence of job burnout was 60.1%. The correlation coefficient was 0.717 (P<0.001) between stressors and burnout, −0.784 (P<0.05) between job well-being and burnout, and −0.744 (P<0.001) between stressors and job well-being. The quadratic stressors showed a statistically significant effect on burnout (β=0.404, P<0.01). Job well-being positively moderated the relationship between the linear stressors and burnout (β=1.289, P<0.001) and negatively moderated the relationship between the quadratic stressors and job burnout (β=−0.571, P<0.01), explaining 7.1% of the variance. Conclusion Job burnout prevalence is relatively high among employees in oncology hospitals. There is a curvilinear relationship between stressors and job burnout, with job well-being moderating this relationship. From a practical perspective, it is recommended to establish a tiered stress alert system to monitor employees’ stress levels and prevent prolonged exposure to high-pressure conditions. Additionally, improving employees’ job well-being through institutional incentives and developmental support can enhance its moderating role in mitigating the adverse effects of stressors on job burnout. Meanwhile, fostering coordinated responses between organizations and individuals is crucial for strengthening mental health management systems, thereby supporting a healthy, stable, and sustainable development of the healthcare workforce.

Objective:To conduct a nationwide physician survey to better understand clinicians’ disease awareness, treatment patterns, and experience of Waldenstr?m macroglobulinemia (WM) in China.Methods:This cross-sectional study was conducted from February 2022 to July 2022 by recruiting clinicians with WM treatment experience from hematology, hematology-oncology, and oncology departments throughout China. Quantitative surveys were designed based on the qualitative interviews.Results:The study included 415 clinicians from 219 hospitals spread across thirty-three cities and twenty-two provinces. As for diagnosis, the laboratory tests prescribed by physicians for suspected WM patients were relatively consistent (92% -99% recommendation for laboratory, 79% -95% recommendation for pathology, 96% recommendation for gene testing, and 63% -83% recommendation for imaging examination). However, from a physician's perspective, there was 22% misdiagnosis occurred in clinical practice. The rate of misdiagnosis was higher in lower-level hospitals than in tertiary grade A hospitals (29% vs 21%, P<0.001). The main reasons for misdiagnosis were that WM was easily confused with other diseases, and physicians lacked the necessary knowledge to make an accurate diagnosis. In terms of gene testing in clinical practice, 96% of participating physicians believed that WM patients would require gene testing for MYD88 and CXCR4 mutations because the results of gene testing would aid in confirming diagnosis and treatment options. In terms of treatment, 55% of physicians thought that the most important goal was to achieve remission, while 54% and 51% of physicians wanted to improve laboratory and/or examination results and extend overall survival time, respectively. Among patients with treatment indications, physicians estimated that approximately 21% of them refused to receive treatment, mainly owing to a lack of affordable care and disease awareness. When selecting the most appropriate treatment regimens, physicians would consider patient affordability (63% ), comorbidity (61% ), and risk level (54% ). Regimens containing Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi) were most widely recommended for both treatment-na?ve and relapsed/refractory patients (94% for all patients, 95% for treatment-na?ve patients, and 75% for relapsed/refractory patients), and most physicians recommended Ibrutinib (84% ). For those patients who received treatment, physicians reported that approximately 23% of patients did not comply with the treatment regimen due to a lack of affordability and disease awareness. Furthermore, 66% of physicians believe that in the future, increasing disease awareness and improving diagnosis rates is critical. Conclusions:This study is the first national physician survey of WM conducted in China. It systematically describes the issues that exist in WM diagnosis and treatment in China, such as a high rate of misdiagnosis, limited access to gene testing and new drugs, and poor patient adherence to treatment. Chinese doctors believe that improving doctors’ and patients’ understanding of WM is one of the most urgent issues that must be addressed right now.

Objective:To investigate the current status of the technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) levels of youth teachers in a military medical university, and to provide a practical basis for improving youth teachers' ability to teach with technologies.Methods:Youth teachers (with less than 3 years of teaching experience) in a military medical university were selected by convenience sampling for a survey on TPACK abilities using a modified TPACK questionnaire. The questionnaire was distributed through the internet, and 119 valid responses were returned. SPSS 20.0 software was used to perform the independent samples t-test and one-way analysis of variance.Results:The youth teachers scored highest in technological knowledge [TK; (3.68±0.74)] and lowest in TPACK (3.17±0.74). There were no significant differences in TPACK abilities between youth teachers in different majors. Youth teachers of different educational attainments showed significant differences in the levels of technological knowledge (TK; F=12.99, P<0.001), content knowledge (CK; F=13.64, P<0.001), technological pedagogical knowledge (TPK; F=4.38, P=0.015), technological content knowledge (TCK; F=3.83, P=0.025), and TPACK ( F=3.63, P=0.029)—the TK, CK, TPK, and TCK levels of teachers with doctoral degrees were significantly higher than those with bachelor's and master's degrees. Conclusions:Efforts should be made to design a TPACK ability development system throughout the growth cycle of youth teachers, build teaching practice communities, and improve the system guarantees.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective:To explore the early curative effect of reverse shoulder arthroplasty in treatment of irreparable rotator cuff tear.Methods:Twenty-three patients with irreparable rotator cuff tears treated with reverse shoulder arthroplasty at Beijing Jishuitan Hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including 4 males and 19 females; age 69.3±8.6 years (range, 51-89 years), of which 8 patients were over 70 years and 15 patients were under 70 years; 5 patients were on the left side and 18 patients were on the right side; the duration of symptoms was 24 (4, 36) months; 7 patients with rotator cuff arthritis (CTA) and 16 with non-CTA. Functional scores including the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), simple shoulder test (SST), Constant - Murley scores, visual analogue scale (VAS) of pain, and range of motion including forward elevation, external rotation and internal rotation were collected to evaluate the postoperative efficacy of the treatment. ASES was considered as primary outcome, which was greater than 11.6 as for the minimal clinically important difference (MCID). The stratified analysis according to CTA or not and age greater than 70 years or not were performed to compare the efficacy of the two groups respectively.Results:Twenty-three patients were included with a follow-up time of 14.9±2.2 months (range, 12-19 months). The ASES, UCLA and Constant-Murley score improved from 46.6±14.8, 15.4±5.3 and 51.1±18.7 preoperatively to 87.3±4.5, 28.3±2.2 and 78.1±7.6 at the final follow-up, SST improved from 2(1, 4) preoperatively to 9(8, 10) at the final follow-up, VAS score decreased from 4(3, 5) preoperatively to 0(0, 1) at the final follow-up, and forward flexion supination improved from 77.1°±35.8° preoperatively to 125.2°±19.5° at follow-up; the difference between pre- and post-operative for all of the above metrics was statistically significant ( P<0.05). External rotation improved from 29.5°±22.2° preoperatively to 35.0°±13.5° at the final follow-up, and internal rotation improved from 5.0±3.0 points preoperatively to 5.3±2.8 points at the final follow-up, but none of the differences were statistically significant ( P>0.05). Minimal clinical important difference (100%) in postoperative improvement was achieved in all patients. CTA and non-CTA patients, although there was a significant difference between the two groups in preoperative ASES, Constant-Murley, SST, and VAS scores, the differences in each index were not statistically significant postoperatively ( P>0.05); the differences in all indexes between the two age groups, preoperatively and postoperatively, were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty can achieve satisfactory clinical results in the early postoperative period in patients with irreparable rotator cuff tears. Although there are some preoperative functional differences, significant improvement can be achieved with reverse total shoulder arthroplasty regardless CTA or non-CTA patients. There was no significant difference in early postoperative outcomes between patients over 70 years and relatively younger patients.

Objective:To assess the feasibility of using the posterosuperior tetralogy (PS-Tetra) score for predicting the prognosis of repair of posterosuperior massive rotator cuff tears.Methods:Data were retrospectively reviewed for patients who underwent repair of posterosuperior massive rotator cuff tears from February 2016 to June 2020. A total of 95 (male 48, female 47) shoulders with an average age of 58.52±8.33 years (range, 27-76 years) were included. The American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) scores and shoulder range of motions (ROM) were used to evaluate shoulder function. MRI was used to assess preoperative fatty infiltration (FI), atrophy, modified Patte's classification, PS-Tetra score and postoperative tendon integrity. The shoulder function was compared between groups of different PS-Tetra scores. The binary logistic regression was used to determine the risk factors of irreparability and retear.Results:83 cases of repair of posterosuperior massive rotator cuff tears were finally included. Complete repairs were performed in 83 cases, and partial repairs were performed in 12 cases. Retear was observed in 17 (20%) cases. The ASES scores (postoperative 58.52±8.33 vs. preoperative 47.30±17.40, t=-19.642, P<0.001), ROM of forward flexion (postoperative 157.60°±13.85° vs. preoperative 116.88°±50.89°, t=-7.272, P<0.001), external rotation (postoperative 45.26°±14.69° vs. preoperative 37.34°±18.65°, t=-4.043, P<0.001) and internal rotation [postoperative L 1 (T 7-buttock) vs. preoperative L 2 (T 7-buttock), Z=-2.737, P=0.006] were significantly improved postoperatively in the group with PS-Tetra score between 0 and 2. In the group with PS-Tetra score of 3 and 4, the ASES scores (postoperative 69.17±15.91 vs. preoperative 46.85±20.73, t=-11.167, P=0.001) were significantly improved postoperatively, while the ROMs were not. Modified Patte stageⅢ[ OR=26.827, 95% CI (2.089, 344.500), P=0.012] was the risk factor of irreparability. Dominant side involvement [ OR=9.407, 95% CI (1.044, 84.784), P=0.046) and PS-Tetra score of 3 and 4 [ OR=5.037, 95% CI (1.028, 26.623), P=0.046] were risk factors of retear. Conclusions:For repair of posterosuperior massive rotator cuff tears, preoperative PS-Tetra score of 3 and 4 was the risk factors of poor postoperative shoulder functions and retear.
