ObjectiveTo investigate the awareness and clinical practice of guidelines for the prevention and treatment of chronic hepatitis B (2022 edition) among clinicians. MethodsFrom July 19 to December 31, 2024, a self-designed electronic questionnaire was distributed via the WeChat mini program to collect related data from 1 588 clinicians nationwide, including their awareness and practice based on 18 questions regarding testing and referral, diagnosis and treatment, and follow-up. ResultsAmong all respondents, only 350 clinicians correctly understood all the updated key points of antiviral indications and treatment for special populations in the 2022 edition of guidelines for the prevention and treatment of chronic hepatitis B, with an overall awareness rate of 22.0%. Only 20% — 40% of the patients with positive HBV DNA and an age of >30 years receive antiviral therapy, while 80% — 100% of the patients with positive HBV DNA and a family history of hepatitis B cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma receive antiviral therapy. The median follow-up rates at 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years were 67.5% 57.5% and 47.5%,respectively, showing a trend of gradual reduction, which might be associated with the influencing factors such as insufficient time for follow-up management by clinicians, insufficient awareness of the disease among patients, and poor adherence to follow-up. ConclusionThere is a gap between the awareness and practice of guidelines for the prevention and treatment of chronic hepatitis B (2022 edition) among clinicians. It is recommended to further strengthen training and focus on the whole process of “detection, diagnosis, treatment, and management” for patients with chronic hepatitis B in healthcare institutions, in order to promote the implementation of the guidelines.

Background::Breast cancer (BC) risk-stratification tools for Asian women that are highly accurate and can provide improved interpretation ability are lacking. We aimed to develop risk-stratification models to predict long- and short-term BC risk among Chinese women and to simultaneously rank potential non-experimental risk factors.Methods::The Breast Cancer Cohort Study in Chinese Women, a large ongoing prospective dynamic cohort study, includes 122,058 women aged 25-70 years old from the eastern part of China. We developed multiple machine-learning risk prediction models using parametric models (penalized logistic regression, bootstrap, and ensemble learning), which were the short-term ensemble penalized logistic regression (EPLR) risk prediction model and the ensemble penalized long-term (EPLT) risk prediction model to estimate BC risk. The models were assessed based on calibration and discrimination, and following this assessment, they were externally validated in new study participants from 2017 to 2020.Results::The AUC values of the short-term EPLR risk prediction model were 0.800 for the internal validation and 0.751 for the external validation set. For the long-term EPLT risk prediction model, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.692 and 0.760 in internal and external validations, respectively. The net reclassification improvement index of the EPLT relative to the Gail and the Han Chinese Breast Cancer Prediction Model (HCBCP) models for external validation was 0.193 and 0.233, respectively, indicating that the EPLT model has higher classification accuracy.Conclusions::We developed the EPLR and EPLT models to screen populations with a high risk of developing BC. These can serve as useful tools to aid in risk-stratified screening and BC prevention.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of Naoxin'an capsule against mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative damage in brains of rats with vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) induced by chronic cerebral ischemia. MethodA total of 150 rats were randomized into modeling group (130 rats) and sham-operated group (20 rats) with the random number table method. The two-vessel occlusion (2-VO) was employed to induce VCI in rats, and finally 87 rats developed VCI. The VCI rats were classified into model group, positive drug group (Aricept, 0.5 mg·kg-1), and low-, medium- and high-dose Naoxin'an capsule groups (0.18, 0.36, 0.72 g·kg-1, separately), with 17-18 rats in each group. The administration lasted 8 weeks. The learning and working memory of VCI rats were assayed by novel object recognition test and Y-maze test. The 8-oxoguanine (8-OxoG) level was measured based on immunofluorescence staining. Spectrophotometry was performed to determine the activity of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, and Ⅳ, mitochondrial swelling, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) and α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (KGDH). The submicroscopic structure of mitochondria was observed with electron microscope. The phosphorylation of cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) and the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α), nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF-1), and mitochondrial transcription factor A (mt-TFA) were determined by Western blot. The mitochondrial status Ⅳ H2O2 generation, activity of cerebral superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and malondialdehyde (MDA) content were measured with the photochemical method. ResultCompared with the sham-operated group, model group showed decrease in new object discrimination index (P<0.01) and spontaneous alternation rate in the Y-maze test (P<0.01), increase in ROS production in the brain (P<0.01), reduction in MMP and mitochondrial swelling A value (P<0.01), obvious mitochondrial swelling, vacuoles and cristae fractures in mitochondria, decrease in the level of phosphorylated CREB, expression of PGC-1α, NRF-1 and mt-TFA (P<0.01), and activity of the respiratory chain complexes Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, and Ⅳ (P<0.01), PDH and KGDH in the brain (P<0.01), rise of the production of H2O2 at state IV (P<0.01) and the content of MDA (P<0.01), and reduction in the activity of SOD and GSH-Px (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, each dose of Naoxin'an capsules can improve the new object discrimination index (P<0.05, P<0.01) and the rate of spontaneous alternation (P<0.05, P<0.01), decrease ROS production in the brain (P<0.01), improve the MMP and swelling A value (P<0.05, P<0.01), alleviate mitochondrial swelling and mitochondrial submicroscopic damage, elevate the phosphorylated CREB level, the expression of PGC-1α, NRF-1 and mt-TFA (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the activity of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes Ⅲ, and Ⅳ, PDH and KGDH (P<0.01), decrease state Ⅳ H2O2 generation (P<0.01) and MDA content (P<0.05, P<0.01), and raise the activity of SOD and GSH-Px (P<0.01). ConclusionBy activating the CREB/PGC-1α pathway, Naoxin'an capsule can protect the structure and function of mitochondria, enhance the antioxidant capacity, and inhibit the mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative damage induced by chronic cerebral ischemia, thus improving the VCI.

Objective:To explore the differences of clinical laboratory indicators between Kawasaki disease (KD) and systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA), providing objective evidence for diagnosis and differential diagnosis of these diseases.Methods:A total of 41 children patients with KD (KD group) and 33 children patients with SJIA (SJIA group) who received treatment in Huainan Maternal and Child Health Hospital between September 2017 and January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. An additional 50 healthy children who concurrently received physical examination in the same hospital were included in the control group. Platelet count (PLT), white blood cell count (WBC), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) as well as C-reactive protein (CRP), serum procalcitonin (PCT), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), and serum ferritin (SF) levels were compared among groups before treatment.Results:One-way analysis of variance and pairwise q test were performed to compare laboratory indicators among KD, SJIA and control groups. CRP, ESR, SF and IL-6 levels in the KD group were significantly lower than those in the SJIA group [CRP: (57.80 ± 25.23) mg/L vs. (77.72 ± 45.64) mg/L; ESR: (67.02 ± 28.80) mm/h vs. (83.84 ± 47.64) mm/h; SF: (320.21 ± 182.53) μg/L vs. (945.58 ± 604.65) μg/L; IL-6: (50.35 ± 20.54) ng/L vs. (89.35 ± 45.54) ng/L, q = 4.34, 3.42, 11.51, 8.85, all P < 0.05]. IL-10 level in the KD group was significantly higher than that in the SJIA group [(18.52 ± 16.71) ng/L vs. (10.01 ± 3.24) ng/L, q = -5.25, P < 0.05]. WBC, CRP, ESR, PCT, PLT, IL-6, IL-10 and SF in the KD and SJIA groups were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P < 0.05). Conclusion:Detection of CRP, ESR, SF, IL-6, IL-10 in blood can provide objective evidence for the early diagnosis and differential diagnosis of KD and SJIA, thereby reducing the misjudgment of clinical diagnosis.

Objective To study the impact of interposed abdominal pulling-pressing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (IAPP-CPR) for patients with cardiac arrest (CA). Methods A prospective study was conducted. A total of 122 CA patients admitted to Department of Emergency of Shandong Provincial Mining Industry Group Company Central Hospital from July 2013 to December 2017 were enrolled. They were divided into standard cardiopulmonary resuscitation (S-CPR) group (n = 62) and IAPP-CPR group (n = 60) according to order of admission. The patients in S-CPR group received external cardiac compression, open airway, endotracheal intubation, mechanical ventilation, routine drug rescue, and defibrillation when ventricular fibrillation was found. And the patients in IAPP-CPR group received the IAPP-CPR on the basis of the routine chest compression. During the relaxation period, the patients were subjected to abdominal lifting and compressing with amplitude of 4-5 cm, frequency of 100 times/min, and the time ratio of lifting to compressing was 1:1. The data of demographics and clinical signs of patients were collected. The markers of respiratory and circulatory performance of all patients after CPR were determined. The rates of restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), successful resuscitation, and the prognosis were recorded. With the success of CRP as the dependent variable, the factors with statistical significance showed by univariate analysis were used as the independent variable to carry out two classification Logistic regression analysis for screening the influence factors of CPR success. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to analyze the predictive value of various factors on the success of CPR. Results 122 patients were enrolled in the analysis. Compared with the S-CPR group, heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), and end-tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure (PETCO2) were significantly increased at 30 minutes after CPR in IAPP-CPR group [HR (bpm): 66.3±11.5 vs. 53.1±12.6, MAP (mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 65.4±6.5 vs. 53.2±5.4, PaO2(mmHg): 77.7±11.8 vs. 61.8±14.3, PETCO2(mmHg):45.5±9.6 vs. 31.8±8.2, all P < 0.05], and arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) and lactic acid (Lac) were significantly lowered [PaCO2(mmHg): 46.7±6.2 vs. 57.9±9.5, Lac (mmol/L): 2.1±1.5 vs. 4.4±2.2, both P < 0.05]. The time of CA to ROSC in IAPP-CPR group was significantly shorter than that in S-CPR group (minutes: 6.3±1.8 vs. 11.2±1.4, P < 0.05), the ROSC rate and CPR success rate were significantly higher than those in S-CPR group [ROSC rate: 61.7% (37/60) vs. 43.5% (27/62), CPR success rate: 40.0% (24/60) vs. 21.0% (13/62), both P < 0.05], and 24-hour survival rate and survival and discharge rate of patients were significantly higher than those in the S-CPR group [24-hour survival rate: 46.7% (28/60) vs. 29.0% (18/62), survival and discharge rate: 20.0% (12/60) vs. 11.3% (7/62), both P < 0.05]. Logistic regression analysis showed that PaO2, PaCO2 and PETCO2 were the factors that affect the success of CPR [PaO2: β= -3.76, odds ratio (OR) = 0.23, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 0.12-0.86, P = 0.031; PaCO2:β=1.41,OR=4.09,95%CI=1.70-9.82,P=0.002,PETCO2:β=0.78,OR=2.18,95%CI=1.42-3.35,P=0.000]. ROC curve analysis showed that the above three factors had good predictive value for the success of CPR. The predictive value of PaCO2 and PETCO2 were better, the area under ROC curve (AUC) was 0.93 and 0.92, respectively, when the cut-off values was 46.7 mmHg and 48.8 mmHg, the sensitivity was 92.0%, 88.0%, respectively, and the specificity was both 94.3%. Conclusions PaO2, PaCO2 and PETCO2 are the factors that influence the success of CPR. PaCO2 and PETCO2 have great value in predicting the success of CPR. Compared with the S-CPR group, IAPP-CPR group results in better hemodynamic and pulmonary ventilation effects, and remarkably improve ROSC and successful resuscitation. IAPP-CPR has obvious clinical value for CA patients.
