Objective:To explore the latent classes of fear of childbirth in late pregnancy women and its relationship with sense of coherence, providing reference for precise support interventions in clinical practice.Methods:From January to September 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 304 pregnant women who underwent antenatal examination at the Obstetrics Clinic of Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Normal University as participants. The General Information Questionnaire, Childbirth Attitudes Questionnaire, and the Sense of Coherence Scale-13 (SOC-13) were used for questionnaire survey. Latent profile analysis was used to explore the categories of fear of childbirth in late pregnancy women, and analyzed differences of SOC-13 scores among women with different categories of fear of childbirth.Results:Fear of childbirth in 304 late pregnant women was divided into three latent classes, including low-level fear group of (50.0%, 152/304), moderate-level fear group of (35.2%, 107/304), and high-level fear group of (14.8%, 45/304). ANOVA analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in total score and dimension scores of SOC-13 among late pregnancy women with three different classes of fear of childbirth ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:There are three latent classes of fear of childbirth in late pregnancy women. The sense of coherence among pregnant women affects their fear of childbirth. Nursing staff should address the heterogeneity of fear of childbirth in late pregnancy women, starting from sense of coherence, and take targeted intervention measures to reduce the fear of childbirth in late pregnancy women.

Malignant tumors seriously threaten human life and health. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are the conventional methods for the clinical treatment of advanced tumors. The prognosis and efficacy are still far from satisfactory due to the radiotherapy has serious adverse effects on the body and the chemotherapy often causes problems such as tumor resistance and cell proliferationinhibition. Therefore, the search for new, safe, and effective anti-tumor drugs and the elucidation of their molecular mechanisms are effective measures for clinical treatment of tumors and improvement of patients' quality of life. Active ingredients derived from Chinese herbal medicines and natural products have gradually become a hot spot in the research and development of anti-tumor drugs due to their multi-target and multi-channel anti-tumor pharmacological activity characteristics and their advantages such as less adverse reaction on the body. Bruceine D is a class of tetracyclic triterpenoids extracted from the fruit of the Chinese herbal medicine Bruceae Fructus, with anti-inflammatory, anti-malarial, anti-parasitic, and other pharmacological activities, and its anti-tumor activity is particularly significant. Pharmacological studies have found that bruceine D can regulate various cellular physiological activities such as proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, and migration of lung cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, intestinal cancer, and other cancer cells by targeting different signaling pathways. Bruceine D can be used in combination with other chemotherapeutic drugs to improve the sensitivity of tumor cells to chemotherapeutic drugs, thereby reducing the adverse effect of chemotherapy. Clinical application practice has shown that Bruceae Fructus oil emulsion injection containing bruceine D has significant advantages in the efficacy and safety of tumor treatment. Although there are many studies on the antitumor pharmacological activity of bruceine D and its clinical efficacy is significant, the specific antitumor molecular mechanism of bruceine D is still unclear, and there is a lack of systematic review on the existing antitumor mechanism of bruceine D. Therefore, based on the research on bruceine D in China and abroad in recent years, this paper reviewed the anti-tumor effect and related molecular mechanisms of bruceine D from six aspects, namely, tumor cell proliferation, apoptosis, metastasis and invasion, glucose metabolism process, autophagy, and chemotherapy sensitivity. This paper is expected to provide a pharmacological basis and scientific reference for the antitumor drug development and clinical application of bruceine D.

Objective:
: This study aims to investigate the relationship between aneurysm wall enhancement and clinical rupture risks based on the magnetic resonance vessel wall imaging (MR-VWI) quantitative methods.
Methods:
: One hundred and eight patients with 127 unruptured aneurysms were prospectively enrolled from Feburary 2016 to October 2017. Aneurysms were divided into high risk (≥10) and intermediate-low risk group (<10) according to the PHASES (Population, Hypertension, Age, Size of aneurysm, Earlier SAH history from another aneurysm, Site of aneurysm) scores. Clinical risk factors, aneurysm morphology, and wall enhancement index (WEI) calculated using 3D MR-VWI were analyzed and compared.
Results:
: In comparison of high-risk and intermediated-low risk groups, univariate analysis showed that neck width (4.5±3.3 mm vs. 3.4±1.7 mm, p=0.002), the presence of wall enhancement (100.0% vs. 62.9%, p<0.001), and WEI (1.6±0.6 vs. 0.8±0.8, p<0.001) were significantly associated with high rupture risk. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that WEI was the most important factor in predicting high rupture risk (odds ratio, 2.6; 95% confidence interval, 1.4–4.9; p=0.002). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis can efficiently differentiate higher risk aneurysms (area under the curve, 0.780; p<0.001) which have a reliable WEI cutoff value (1.04; sensitivity, 0.833; specificity, 0.67) predictive of high rupture risk.
Conclusion
: Aneurysms with higher rupture risk based on PHASES score demonstrate increased neck width, wall enhancement, and the enhancement intensity. Higher WEI in unruptured aneurysms has a predictive value for increased rupture risk.

Objective:To investigate the value of pericoronary adipose tissue histogram parameters based on coronary CT angiography (CTA) images for the differentiation of acute coronary syndrome and stable coronary artery disease.Methods:The clinical data and CTA images of 93 patients with coronary CTA examination in Suzhou Kowloon Hospital from 2013 to 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 39 patients with acute coronary syndrome (acute coronary syndrome group) and 54 patients with stable coronary artery disease (stable coronary artery disease group). A region of interest (ROI) was drawn around the stenosis of the coronary arteries, with CT attenuation ranging from-190 to -30 HU to exclude non-adipose tissue. The CT attenuation of ROI excluding non-adipose were measured and histogram analysis was performed. The obtained parameters included the mean value, median value and the 5th, 10th, 45th, 55th, 70th and 95th percentiles. The differences in histogram parameters between the two groups were compared, and then the value of each parameter in differentiating acute coronary syndrome and stable coronary artery disease was evaluated based on receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. The stepwise regression of multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the useful features and establish the final prediction model. The ROC curve of the final model was calculated and its value was analyzed.Results:The mean, median and the 5th, 10th, 45th, 55th,70th and 95th percentile differences between the acute coronary syndrome group and the stable coronary artery disease group were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The ROC curve for the median and the 95th percentile had the same area under curve (AUC) of 0.73. The sensitivity, specificity and AUC of the diagnostic model established by multiple logistic regression were 82.1%, 89.1% and 0.90 respectively. Conclusion:CT attenuation histogram of pericoronary adipose tissue is of high value in differentiating acute coronary syndrome from stable coronary artery disease.

The results indicated that the expression levels of S100A8 and S100A9 were high in H. pylori positive patients in CAG group, the expression levels of S100A8 and S100A9 were low in H. pylori negative patients in NAG group, and the differences were statistically significant ( H=84.78 and 89.64, both P<0.01). There were statistically significant differences in the expression of S100 A8 and S100 A9 at mRNA level between CAG group (24 cases) and NAG group (24 cases) (0.12, 0.06 to 1.31 vs. 0.05, 0.03 to 0.08; 0.19, 0.03 to 0.43 vs. 0.03, 0.01 to 0.09), and the expression of S100 A8 and S100 A9 at mRNA level was significant between H. pylori positive patients (24 cases) and H. pylori negative patients (24 patients) (0.45, 0.10 to 1.90 vs. 0.05, 0.03 to 0.08 and 0.36, 0.24 to 0.81 vs. 0.03, 0.01 to 0.04) ( U=55.00, 74.00, 19.00 and 2.00, all P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the expression of S100 A8 and S100 A9 at mRNA level between H. pylori positive patients (12 cases) and H. pylori negative patients (12 cases) of CAG group (0.85, 0.27 to 2.28 vs. 0.06, 0.03 to 0.09 and 0.39, 0.25 to 0.87 vs. 0.03, 0.02 to 0.05), and the expression of S100 A8 and S100 A9 at mRNA level was significant between H. pylori positive patients (12 cases) and H. pylori negative patients (12 cases) of NAG group (0.09, 0.05 to 0.28 vs. 0.04, 0.03 to 0.07 and 0.20, 0.09 to 0.65 vs. 0.01, 0.01 to 0.03) ( U=5.00, 2.00, 0.00 and 0.00, all P<0.01). The results showed that the expression of S100 A8 and S100 A9 at mRNA level was high in H. pylori positive patients in CAG group, the expression of S100 A8 and S100 A9 at mRNA level was low in H. pylori negative patients in NAG group, and the differences were statistically significant ( H=20.43 and 24.15, both P<0.01). The expression levels of S100A8 and S100A9 were positively correlated at both protein level and mRNA level ( r=0.899 and 0.903, both P<0.01). Conclusions:S100A8 and S100A9 may involve in the inflammation process of H. pylori-infected gastric mucosa and promote the proliferation of gastric epithelial cells, which may be one of mechanisms of intrinsic glands reduction and CAG genesis. S100A8 and S100A9 are expected to be potential biomarkers for diagnosis and follow-up and potential targets for treatmert of CAG.
