		                        			ObjectiveTo establish a risk recognition model for coronary artery stenosis by using a machine learning method and to identify the key causative factors. MethodsPatients aged ≥18 years,diagnosed with coronary heart disease through coronary angiography from January 2013 to May 2020 in two prominent hospitals in Shanxi Province, were continuously enrolled. Logistic regression,back propagation neural network (BPNN), and random forest(RF)algorithms were used to construct models for detecting the causative factors of coronary artery stenosis. Sensitivity (TPR), specificity (TNR), accuracy (ACC), positive predictive value (PV+), negative predictive value (PV-), area under subject operating characteristic curve (AUC), and calibration curve were used to compare the discrimination and calibration performance of the models. The best model was then employed to predict the main risk variables associated with coronary stenosis. ResultsThe RF model exhibited superior comprehensive performance compared to logistic regression and BPNN models. The TPR values for logistic regression,BPNN,and RF models were 75.76%, 74.30%, and 93.70%, while ACC values were 74.05%, 72.30%, and 79.49%, respectively. The AUC values were:logistic regression 0.739 9; BPNN 0.723 1; RF 0.752 2. Manifestations such as chest pains,abnormal ST segments on ECG,ventricular premature beats with hypertension, atrial fibrillation, regional wall motion abnormalities(RWMA) by color echocardiography, aortic regurgitation(AR), pulmonary insufficiency (PI), family history of cardiovascular diseases,and body mass index(BMI)were identified as top ten important variables affecting coronary stenosis according to the RF model. ConclusionsRandom forest model shows the best comprehensive performance in identification and accurate assessment of coronary artery stenosis. The prediction of risk factors affecting coronary artery stenosis can provide a scientific basis for clinical intervention and help to formulate further diagnosis and treatment strategies so as to delay the disease progression.

		                        			Objective:To assess the efficacy and safety of programmed death-1 (PD-1) inhibitor combined with radiotherapy in advanced and relapsed / refractory extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma (ENKTL).Methods:Clinical data of 26 patients with advanced and recurrent / refractory ENKTL admitted to Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from January 2019 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were treated with the PD-1 inhibitor combined with radiotherapy. The treatment responses, survival rate and and adverse reactions of the regimen were analyzed. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the 1- and 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate and overall survival (OS) rate, and the Cox proportional risk model was used for univariate prognostic factorial analysis for PFS and OS.Results:The median follow-up time of 26 patients was 29 months (10-49 months). The objective response rate (ORR) was 85%. The complete and partial remission rates were 77% and 8%. The median PFS time was 25 months. The 1- and 2- year PFS rates were 73.1% and 53.3%. The 1- and 2- year OS rates were 88.5% and 75.3%. The main adverse reaction was acute mucositis with an incidence rate of 31% (8/26), followed by hematological toxicity. The incidence of immune-related adverse events in lung, liver and thyroid were low. Only 1 patient developed grade 3 acute mucositis, 1 patient developed grade 4 immune pneumonitis, and the remaining patients had grade 1-2 toxicities. All patients showed good tolerance. The univariate analysis showed that elevated lactate dehydrogenase, Epstein-Barr virus DNA positive after treatment, and less than 6 cycles of anti-PD-1 immunotherapy were prognostic factors for poor OS.Conclusion:The regimen of PD-1 inhibitor combined with radiotherapy demonstrates promising efficacy and well tolerance in patients with advanced and relapsed / refractory ENKTL.

Seventy elderly patients, aged 60-80 yr, with a body mass index of 22-30 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ-Ⅲ, scheduled for elective/limited laparoscopic nephrectomy under total intravenous anesthesia in our hospital from April to October 2023, were divided into a total intravenous anesthesia group (TIVA group) and an ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block combined with total intravenous anesthesia group (ESPB group) using a random number table method, with 35 cases in each group. Two groups used the same general anesthesia regimen. The ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block was performed at the T 11 level after general anesthesia, and 0.3% ropivacaine 30 ml was injected after the successful puncture in ESPB group. The postoperative quality of recovery was assessed using the 15-item Quality-of-Recovery scale. The postoperative rescue analgesia and occurrence of adverse reactions were recorded. Results:Compared with TIVA group, the 15-item Quality-of-Recovery scale score was significantly increased, the rate of postoperative rescue analgesia was decreased, and the incidence of adverse reactions was decreased in ESPB group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block combined with total intravenous anesthesia is beneficial for the postoperative outcomes of elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic nephrectomy.

		                        			Objective:To evaluate the performance of key performance indicator (KPI) lean teaching management system in clinical medical laboratory.Methods:Combining lean teaching management in universities with KPI system of enterprises, an innovative KPI lean teaching management system was developed and applied in Clinical Medical Laboratory of Guangdong Provincial People′s Hospital (GDPH). A total of 106 teachers, who had worked from January 2021 to December 2022 in GDPH, joined this study. Teachers were divided into 8 professional groups. Firstly, we quantified the teaching workload by class hours, evaluated the teaching outcomes base on national, provincial, school, and college levels to assign different teaching points, and linked the teaching KPI scores to the evaluation, salary, and professional title of teachers. Then, we analyzed the overall teaching points and teaching points for each professional group (2021-2022). Finally, we asked teaching managers, teachers, and colleagues to evaluate the KPI lean teaching management system and compared the effects before and after the implementation of this system.Results:Compared with 2021, the teaching scores of 106 teachers increased significantly from 1.0 (0.2, 2.7) to 3.8 (2.3, 6.0) in 2022 ( Z=8.1, P<0.01). The teaching scores of clinical molecules, clinical coagulation, clinical immunology, clinical microbiology, Huifu laboratory, and clinical biochemistry group were significantly higher in 2022 than the scores they got in 2021 (all P<0.05). Compared with 2021, there were 3 new set up of educational reform projects, 2 submitted teaching articles, 3 new competition awards, 7 outstanding teachers, and 5 outstanding students in 2022. After application of KPI lean teaching management, the evaluation scores of teaching work by teaching managers, teachers, and colleagues are all significantly improved ( P<0.05). Conclusion:KPI lean teaching management system could effectively enhance teachers′ work initiative, improve teaching efficiency and outcome, and promote the teaching quality. Therefore, based on the performance of KPI lean teaching management system in our study, it is possible to realize its potential in terms of lean management in clinical medical laboratory.

		                        			 Objective To investigate the expression of Sema4D in peripheral blood T cells and serum of patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis and its correlation with clinical indicators. Methods A total of 20 patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), 68 patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis, and 20 healthy controls who attended The 940 th Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force of Chinese People's Liberation Army from October 2020 to November 2021 were enrolled. According to Child-Pugh class, the patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis were divided into Child-Pugh class A group with 24 patients, Child-Pugh class B group with 24 patients, and Child-Pugh class C group with 20 patients. After peripheral blood samples were collected to isolate serum and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), flow cytometry was used to measure the expression of membrane-bound Sema4D (mSema4D) + CD4 + T cells and mSema4D + CD8 + T cells in PBMCs, and ELISA was used to measure the expression of soluble Sema4D (sSema4D) in serum; their correlation with viral replication and liver inflammation markers was analyzed. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between multiple groups, and the least significant difference t -test was used for further comparison between two groups; the Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between multiple groups, and the Mann-Whitney U  test was used for further comparison between two groups; a Spearman correlation analysis was also performed. Results There were significant differences in the expression of mSema4D + CD4 + T cells and mSema4D + CD8 + T cells between the CHB group, the hepatitis B cirrhosis group, and the control group ( F =43.092 and 13.344, both P < 0.001), while there were significant differences between any two groups ( P < 0.05). The expression levels of mSema4D + CD4 + T cells and mSema4D + CD8 + T cells gradually decreased with increasing Child-Pugh class ( F =14.093 and 17.154, both P < 0.05), and there were significant differences between any two groups ( P < 0.05). The content of sSema4D was 1.54(1.42-1.71) ng/mL in the control group, 1.08(1.07-1.38) ng/mL in the CHB group, and 4.87(2.13-14.97) ng/mL in the hepatitis B cirrhosis group, with a significant difference between the three groups ( H =32.366, P < 0.001) and between any two groups ( P < 0.05). The content of sSema4D was 2.42(0.59-5.65) ng/mL in the Child-Pugh class A group, 4.92(2.75-12.73) ng/mL in the Child-Pugh class B group, and 14.18(4.59-18.43) ng/mL in the Child-Pugh class C group, with a significant difference between the three groups ( H =11.889, P =0.003) and between any two groups ( P < 0.05). In patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis, the level of sSema4D was positively correlated with the levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and HBV DNA quantification ( r =0.294 and 0.430, both P < 0.05). Conclusion Sema4D is lowly expressed on T cell membrane and highly expressed in serum of patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis, and sSema4D may be involved in the development and progression of hepatitis B cirrhosis by affecting the levels of ALT and HBV DNA.

		                        			Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of acteoside (ACT) in inhibiting epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in human hepatoma HCCLM3 cells by regulating the ERK1/2 pathway. Methods CCK-8 assay was used to detect the effect of hepatocellular carcinoma cell proliferation. The invasion and migration of HCC cells were detected by scratch and Transwell tests. The mRNA and protein expression levels of the ERK1/2 signaling pathway and EMT-related genes (E-cadherin and N-cadherin) were detected by real-time PCR and Western blot analyses. Results ACT reduced the activity of HCCLM3 cells and inhibited the proliferation of HCC cells, and the effects had certain correlation with drug concentration and time. ACT inhibited the migration and invasion process of HCCLM3 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. ACT downregulated the mRNA and protein expression of genes related to the ERK1/2 signaling pathway. It increased the mRNA and protein expression levels of the EMT-related gene E-cadherin but decreased those of N-cadherin. Conclusion ACT could inhibit EMT and the invasion and migration of HCCLM3 cells in human hepatoma, and the underlying mechanism is closely related to the downregulation of the ERK1/2 signaling pathway.

		                        			To revise GBZ 188 Technical Specification for Occupational Health Surveillance based on national laws, regulations, standards, specifications and legal documents of occupational disease, and combination with the actual situation in China. The main modifications are as follows: the occupational health surveillance for workers exposed to toluene (xylene may implement by reference), bromopropane, methyl iodide, ethylene oxide, chloroacetic acid, indium and its compounds, coal tar, coal tarasphalt, asphalt, β-naphthylamine, dust of metal and its compounds(tin, iron, antimony, barium and its compounds), hard metal dust, erionite dust, low temperature, laser, tick-borne encephalitis virus, Borrelia burgdorferi, and human immunodeficiency virus, for scraper or grind operators, and underground workers using squatting or kneeling position, crawling position, side-lying position, or shoulder position for a long period of time are included. The emergency health screening for workers exposed to arsenic, fluorine and its inorganic compounds, and acrylamide are included. The occupational medical examination (OME) for workers exposed to amino and nitro compounds of benzene, phosgene, monomethylamine, organic fluorine and dimethyl sulfate has been adjusted and made mandatory, with corresponding assessments required upon leaving the job. The special occupational health surveillance for workers exposed to mycobacterium tuberculosis and hepatitis virus is removed. The OME conclusion of reexamination is removed, and standardize recheck/additional inspection requirements. The optional items in OME performed before, during and after leaving post are removed, but the optional items in emergency medical examination are retained. Additional OME items are added. The Guideline for OME Summary Reports is added as informative appendix, and so on. The revised GBZ 188 Technical Specification for Occupational Health Surveillance is more scientific and practical.
