Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of simultaneous resection for initially resectable rectal cancer with synchronous liver metastases. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 305 patients with initially resectable rectal cancer with synchronous liver metastases. These patients were diagnosed at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from January 2016 to June 2020. Among them, 191 underwent simultaneous rectum and liver resection and 114 underwent staged resection. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed at a 1∶1 ratio. Clinical data were compared and Kaplan-Meier survival curves were plotted. Results After PSM, 85 patients were included in each group. General data showed no significant differences. Except for liver metastasis resection method, no statistical differences were found in primary tumor surgery approach, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative complications, time to first flatus and defecation, 30-day mortality, and postoperative hospital stay between the simultaneous resection group and the staged resection group. The overall complication rate was higher in the simultaneous resection group (48.2% vs 29.4%, P＝0.04). Specifically, the grade Ⅱ complications were significantly higher (29.4% vs 14.1%, P＝0.016), but there’s no differences in severe complications (grade Ⅲ-Ⅴ). No statistically differences were observed in median progression-free survival (HR＝0.70, 95%CI 0.50-0.97, P＝0.103) and 5-year overall survival (HR＝0.95, 95%CI 0.63-1.44, P＝0.259). Conclusions Simultaneous resection demonstrates comparable safety and efficacy to staged resection for initially resectable rectal cancer with synchronous liver metastases.

Objective: Data on syncopal donation-related vasovagal reaction (DRVR) collected from 74 blood centers between 2020 and 2023 was statistically analyzed to provide a reference for developing preventive strategies against syncopal DRVR. Methods: Data on blood donation adverse reactions and basic information of donors from 2020 to 2023 were collected through the information management system at monitoring sentinel sites. Statistical analysis was performed on the following aspects of syncopal DRVR: characteristics of donors who experienced syncope, reported incidence, triggers, duration, presence and occurrence time of syncope-related trauma, clinical management including outpatient and inpatient treatment, and severity grading. Results: From 2020 to 2023, 45 966 donation-related adverse reactions were recorded. Of these, 1 665 (3.72%) cases were syncopal DRVR. The incidence of syncopal DRVR decreased with age, being the highest in the 18-22 age group. Incidence was significantly higher in female donors than male donors, in first-time donors than repeat donors, and in university and individual donors than group donors (all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference among different blood donation locations (P>0.05). The top three triggers were tension, fatigue, and needle phobia or fear of blood. Among syncopal DRVR cases, 60.36% occurred during blood collection, 87.63% lasted for less than 60 seconds, and 5.05% were accompanied by trauma. Notably, 57.14% of these traumas occurred after donor had left the blood collection site. Syncope severity was graded based on required treatment: grade 1 (fully recovered without treatment, 95.50%); grade 2 (recovered after outpatient treatment, 4.02%); and grade 3 (recovered after inpatient treatment, 0.48%). Conclusion: By analyzing the data of syncopal DRVR cases, it is possible to provide a reference for formulating blood donor safety policies.

OBJECTIVE To construct a classification prediction model for vancomycin blood concentration， and to optimize its precision dosing strategies. METHODS Patient records meeting inclusion criteria were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care database. Following data cleaning and preprocessing， a final cohort of 9 902 patient was analyzed. Feature selection was performed through correlation analysis and the Boruta feature selection algorithm. Vancomycin blood concentrations were discretized into three categories based on clinical therapeutic windows： low （＜10 μg/mL）， intermediate （10-20 μg/mL）， and high （≥20 μg/mL）. Six machine learning algorithms were employed to construct classification models： tabular prior-data fitted network （TabPFN）， logistic regression （LR）， random forest （RF）， extreme gradient boosting （XGBoost）， support vector machine （SVM）， K-nearest neighbors （KNN）. Model performance was evaluated using 10-fold cross-validation （10-CV）， with primary metrics including： accuracy， balanced accuracy， precision macro， recall macro， macro F1， area under the receiver operating characteristic curve （OvR-AUC）. Shapley Additive Explanations （SHAP） was adopted to analyze the direction and magnitude of the impact that different features had on the model’s predictive outcomes. RESULTS The results showed that the RF and TabPFN models performed the best （with accuracy of 0.741 4 and 0.737 7， and OvR-AUC of 0.907 0 and 0.895 8， respectively）. XGBoost model exhibited moderate performance， while LR， SVM， and KNN models demonstrated relatively poor performance. Confusion matrix heatmap analysis revealed that both RF and TabPFN achieved higher accuracy in predicting high- concentration cases but exhibited slightly lower performance in the low and medium concentration categories. Bootstrap with 10-CV revealed that the RF model demonstrated stable performance across various evaluation metrics （accuracy： 0.741 4； balanced accuracy： 0.740 3； precision macro： 0.732 1； recall macro： 0.736 0； macro F1： 0.736 0； OvR-AUC： 0.907 0）， indicating good classification performance and generalization ability. SHAP analysis revealed that creatinine， urea nitrogen， daily cumulative dose and administration frequency of vancomycin， which were key predictors， had a significant impact on the prediction results. CONCLUSIONS RF and TabPFN models demonstrate certain advantages in the classification prediction of vancomycin trough blood concentrations； however， their performance in the low to moderate concentration categories still requires improvement.

In this paper， the name， origin， producing area， harvesting， processing and functional indications of Arcae Concha were systematically combed and verified by consulting the ancient and modern literature， in order to provide a basis for the development of famous classical formulas containing Arcae Concha. Arcae Concha was first recorded in the name of Han in Bencao Shiyi， but later， due to the influence of LI Shizhen's error of combining Han item with Kuiha in the Ming dynasty， there were aliases such as Kuilu and Fulao， and Yizong Bidu began to include Walengzi as its correct name and has been used ever since. The textual descriptions and illustrations of the medicinal materials of Arcae Concha contained in the materia medica of the past generations were consistent with the modern Arca inflata， A. subcrenata and A. granosa. In ancient times， there were medicinal records of two parts of shell and meat， but now the shell is used as medicine， and the meat is mostly edible. In ancient times， Zhejiang， Shandong， Guangdong and Guangxi were the main producing areas， and Zhejiang was the best. It is now believed that A. inflata is mostly distributed in the northern part of the Huanghai Sea， A. granosa is mostly distributed in the coastal areas south of Shandong Peninsula in China， and A. subcrenata is widely distributed in the coastal areas of China. Its quality is better in a complete， white， no residual meat and sand. In ancient times， there was no clear harvesting period， and the processing was mainly based on vinegar quenching after calcination or powdering of calcined shell， but now the harvesting period is autumn and winter. After harvesting， it is directly washed and crushed for raw use or processed by calcined method. The records of the medicinal materials in the past dynasties on the properties of Arcae Concha were mainly warm， sweet， salty and mild， and it is now believed that Arcae Concha is salty in taste and mild in nature. In ancient times， it was believed that Arcae Concha were mainly used for coldness in the heart and abdomen， coldness in the waist and spine， benefiting the five internal organs， strengthening the stomach. Nowadays， it is believed that Arcae Concha can eliminate phlegm and remove blood stasis， soften the hardness and dissipate the lumps， produce acid and relieve pain. It can be used in the treatment of stubborn phlegm， gall tumor， scrofula and other symptoms. In conclusion， it is suggested that for the famous classical formulas containing Arcae Concha， the corresponding methods should be selected according to the processing requirements of the drug in the formulas， while those without processing requirements can be determined according to the functional position of the products.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of modified Ditan Decoction （涤痰汤） on chronic intermittent hypoxia cognitive function and the potential function mechanism. MethodsTwenty-four Sprague-Dawley （SD） rats were randomly divided into a normal group， a model group， and a modified Ditan Decoction group， with eight rats in each group. Rats in the modified Ditan Decoction group were administered the decoction by gavage at 14.8 ml/（kg·d）， while the normal group and the model group received the same dose of normal saline. Thirty minutes after daily gavage， the rats in all three groups were placed in an intermittent hypoxia chamber. The oxygen concentration for the model group and the modified Ditan Decoction group was adjusted daily for 8 hours using a computer program to establish the model， while the normal group was exposed to the same airflow rate of ambient air. The intervention was continued for 12 weeks to establish a chronic intermittent hypoxia rat model. The Y-maze test was used to evaluate spatial working memory in the rats. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging （rs-fMRI） was performed to detect whole-brain regional homogeneity （ReHo） and seed-based functional connectivity （FC）. Brain regions showing significant differences in rs-fMRI were selected for further analysis. Immunofluorescence was used to detect β-amyloid （Aβ） deposition and the number of ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 （IBA1）-positive microglial cells. Immunohistochemistry was employed to assess the expression of synaptophysin （SYP）， the excitatory synapse marker vesicular glutamate transporter 1 （Vglut1）， and the inhibitory synapse marker vesicular γ-aminobutyric acid transporter （VGAT）. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the model group showed a reduced spontaneous alternation rate in the Y-maze test. The smoothed Z-score standardized regional homogeneity （SzReHo） value in the left entorhinal cortex significantly increased， and the FC value from this seed point to the left basal forebrain significantly reduced. Additionally， the model group exhibited significantly higher Aβ fluorescence intensity and Iba1 positivity in the left entorhinal cortex， decreased expression of SYP， Vglut1， and VGAT， along with an increased Vglut1/VGAT ratio （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared to the model group， the modified Ditan Decoction group demonstrated an increased spontaneous alternation rate， a significantly reduced SzReHo value in the left entorhinal cortex， and a significantly increased FC value from this region to the left basal forebrain. Furthermore， this group showed significantly lower Aβ fluorescence intensity and Iba1 positivity in the left entorhinal cortex， increased levels of SYP， Vglut1， and VGAT， and a decreased Vglut1/VGAT ratio （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. ConclusionModified Ditan Decoction can reconstruct the projection from the left basal forebrain to the entorhinal cortex in chronic intermittent hypoxia， thereby reducing Aβ aggregation and excessive microglial activation in the left entorhinal cortex. This process improves the excitation/inhibition imbalance caused by synaptic remodeling， ultimately enhancing cognitive function in rats of chronic intermittent hypoxia.

Annexin A3（ANXA3）is a member of the membrane associated protein family. It has two subtypes of 36 kDa and 33 kDa. Its gene is located on the fourth chromosome of human. ANXA3, widely expressed in human bone marrow, lung, placenta, prostate and thyroid, is closely related to several biological processes such as exoplasmosis, vascular production, fat cell maturity, and white blood cell migration. Studies have found that ANXA3 is abnormally expressed in various diseases including cancer, cardiovascular disease and inflammation. It can regulate multiple signaling pathways such as JNK, NF-κB, PI3K/AKT, and may become a potential drug target for treatment of related diseases. The structure, functions, the link with diseases and related mechanisms of ANXA3 were summarized in this paper, which could provide reference for ANXA3 related research.

ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the effect of art therapy on the mental health of older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), based on International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health. MethodsLiterature on art therapy for mental health of MCI older adults was retrieved from databases of CNKI, VIP, Wanfang Data, PubMed, ProQuest and Web of Science, between 2014 and 2024, and selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The quality of the literature was assessed using PEDro scale, and a systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA guideline. ResultsA total of nine researches were included from China, Tanzania, Spain, Malaysia and Singapore, involving 763 individuals with MCI aged 60 or more (average 71.23). The types of art therapy interventions were visual arts therapy (painting, collage, paper-cutting, sculpture and modeling, etc.), expressive arts therapy (encompassing dance and music) and creative arts therapy (narrative creation), 30 to 120 minutes a time (majority of 60 minutes), one to four times a week (majority of two to four times), for six to 36 weeks (majority of six to twelve weeks). Health outcomes predominantly focused on mental health, such as anxiety and depression. ConclusionMost researches support that art therapy is effective on mental health of older adults with MCI, but there are disagreements in some researches, and more researches are needed.

AIM:To study the relationship between ocular parameters and lens thickness(LT)in myopic patients with different anterior chamber depth(ACD).METHODS:Cross-sectional study. A total of 118 myopic subjects(236 eyes)underwent posterior chamber phakic implantable collamer lens(Phakic-ICL)implantation in the refractive department of our hospital from May 2022 to May 2024 were selected. Ocular parameters examined before surgery included uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA), subjective refraction, best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), contactless intraocular pressure(IOP), ACD, white-to-white(WTW), horizontal sulcus-to-sulcus(STSH), vertical sulcus-to-sulcus(STSV), and LT. ACD without corneal thickness was measured by Pentacam, and subjects were divided into three groups: shallow anterior chamber group(2.8 mm≤ACD≤3.2 mm), middle anterior chamber group(3.2 mm3.4 mm). The differences in WTW, STSH, STSV, and LT among groups were compared, and the correlation between the above parameters under different ACD groups was analyzed, as well as the multiple linear regression analysis was used to research LT with the above ocular parameters.RESULTS:There was no statistically significant difference in LT between the middle ACD group and the deep ACD group(P=1.00), while there were statistically significant differences in LT between shallow and middle ACD groups(P<0.0167); there were statistical significant differences in WTW, STSH and STSV among different ACD groups(F=226.36, 15.58, 11.92, all P<0.01), but the differences were varied after pairwise comparison. There was a weak negative correlation between LT and ACD only in the shallow ACD group and overall data of patients(r=-0.231, P<0.05; r=-0.222, P<0.01). There was no correlation in LT and ocular parameters between the middle ACD group and deep ACD group(all P>0.05); moderate correlations were discovered among WTW, STSH and STSV in different ACD groups and overall data(all P<0.01); in the overall data of patients, ACD had weak to low correlations with WTW, STSH, STSV and LT(all P<0.01). Through multiple linear regression analysis, it was found that only the shallow ACD group and the overall data had statistically significant independent variables that were linearly correlated with LT, and their equations were as follows: LTS=5.492-0.167×WTW+0.267×STSV-0.448×ACD; LTT=3.884-0.303×ACD, the corrected R2 of equations showed low values, revealed 0.141 and 0.056, respectively.CONCLUSION:Among different ACD groups, there was no correlation or linear relationship between LT and WTW, STSH and STSV; in the shallow ACD group and the overall data, LT had a weak negative correlation with ACD, and its corrected R2 was low. Therefore, there is no linear relationship between LT and ocular diameter parameters under different ACD.

Objective To analyze the characteristics of nystagmus during the Dix-Hallpike and Roll tests in patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) using three-dimensional videonystagmography (3D-VNG), in order to to optimize diagnostic and therapeutic strategies of BPPV. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 68 patients with posterior semicircular canal (PSC)-BPPV and 26 patients with horizontal semicircular canal (HSC)-BPPV. Nystagmus data obtained from 3D-VNG were reviewed for all patients, with a focus on the eye movement components during the Dix-Hallpike test in PSC-BPPV patients and the Roll test in HSC-BPPV patients. The direction and reversal rates of the vertical, horizontal, and torsional components were recorded and analyzed. Results All PSC-BPPV patients exhibited highly consistent three-dimensional nystagmus characteristics during the Dix-Hallpike test: vertical nystagmus was uniformly upward, torsional nystagmus was predominantly clockwise in left-side BPPV patients (17/23) and counterclockwise in right-side BPPV patients (44/45), while the horizontal component was mostly directed contralaterally (50/68); upon transitioning from the head-hanging to the sit-up position, vertical nystagmus components in all patients reversed, and torsional and horizontal nystagmus components reversed in approximately 50.0% or more patients. Among HSC-BPPV patients, right-side BPPV patients all showed right-beating (geotropic) horizontal nystagmus with predominantly upward vertical component (16/19), while most left-side BPPV patients showed left-beating horizontal nystagmus (6/7) with predominantly downward vertical component (6/7). During head rotation toward the healthy side, most (25/26) HSC-BPPV patients exhibited a reversal in the horizontal nystagmus direction, reduced intensity compared to the affected side, with a reversal in vertical components in 3 patients, and atypical torsional components. Conclusions 3D-VNG could precisely quantitative analyze three-dimensional features of nystagmus in BPPV patients, improve diagnostic accuracy in canal and side localization, particularly in PSC-BPPV patients.
