[Objective] To analyse and predict the tendencies of using erythrocyte blood in Changsha based on the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model, long short-term memory (LSTM) and ARIMA-LSTM combination model, so as to provide reliable basis for designing a feasible and effective blood inventory management strategy. [Methods] The data of erythrocyte usage from hospitals in Changsha between January 2012 and December 2023 were collected, and ARIMA model, LSTM model and ARIMA-LSTM combination model were established. The actual erythrocyte consumption from January to May 2024 were used to assess and verify the prediction effect of the models. The extrapolation prediction accuracy of the models were tested using two evaluation indicators: mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and root mean square error (RMSE), and then the prediction performance of the model was compared. [Results] The RMSE of LSTM model, optimal model ARIMA(1,1,1)(1,1,1)12 and ARIMA-LSTM combination model were respectively 5 206.66, 3 096.43 and 2 745.75, and the MAPE were 18.78%,11.54% and 9.76% respectively, which indicated that the ARIMA-LSTM combination model was more accurate than the ARIMA model and LSTM model, and the prediction results was basically consistent with the actual situation. [Conclusion] The ARIMA-LSTM model can better predict the clinical erythrocyte consumption in Changsha in the short term.

ObjectiveTo study the mechanism of Huanglian Jiedutang (HLJDT) in treating mice with atherosclerosis (AS) by improving ferroptosis. MethodsA total of 10 SPF C57BL/6J mice were selected as a normal group, and 50 ApoE-/- mice were randomly divided into five groups: model group, low-dose group of HLJDT, medium-dose group of HLJDT, high-dose group of HLJDT, and atorvastatin (ATV) group. ApoE-/- mice were fed a high-fat diet for eight weeks to establish the AS model, and at the 9th week, they were given normal saline, low, medium, and high doses of HLJDT (3.9, 7.8, 15.6 g·kg-1·d-1), and atorvastatin calcium tablets (0.01 g·kg-1·d-1), respectively, for a total of eight weeks. The formation of aortic plaque in mice was observed by gross oil red O staining and Masson staining. The levels of total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglyceride (TG), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in blood fat were measured by the automatic biochemical analyzer, and the mitochondrial structure of the aorta was observed by transmission electron microscopy. The content of serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) in serum was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The content of reduced glutathione (GSH) in serum was detected by the microplate method, and that of malondialdehyde (MDA) in serum was detected by the TBA method. The protein expression of nuclear factor E2-associated factor 2 (Nrf2)/glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) signaling pathway was detected by Western blot. ResultsCompared with those of the normal group, the contents of TC, LDL-C, TG, HDL-C, and MDA in the serum and the aortic vascular plaque deposition of the model group were significantly increased (P<0.01), while the expression levels of SOD and GSH in serum, as well as Nrf2, solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11), and GPX4 in aorta were significantly decreased (P<0.01). Mice in the model group appeared mitochondrial fragmentation and vacuolation in the aorta, volume atrophy, mitochondrial crista reduction, or a loose and disorganized form. Compared with those in the model group, the aortic vascular plaque deposition was significantly decreased in the low-dose, medium-dose, and high-dose groups of HLJDT and ATV group, and the contents of serum TC, LDL-C, TG, and MDA in serum were significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). The contents of serum SOD and GSH and the expression levels of Nrf2, SLC7A11, and GPX4 in the aorta were increased (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the symptoms of aortic mitochondrial vacuolation were alleviated. The number of cristae was increased, and they were ordered neatly. ConclusionHLJDT can reduce aortic vascular plaque deposition, decrease blood lipid and MDA expression, increase SOD and GSH expression, and ameliorate the pathological changes of ferroptosis, the mechanism of which is related to the Nrf2/GPX4 signaling pathway.

Non-small cell lung cancer is one of the primary types of cancer that leads to brain metastases. Approximately 10% of patients with non-small cell lung cancer have brain metastases at the time of diagnosis, and 26%-53% of patients develop brain metastases during the progression of their disease. However, the underlying mechanisms of lung cancer brain metastasis have not been fully elucidated. With the continuous development of single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, the genomic and transcriptomic characteristics of lung cancer brain metastasis are gradually being revealed. In February 2025, the journal Nature Medicine published an article titled "Single-cell and spatial genomic landscape of non-small cell lung cancer brain metastases". This article aims to provide a brief interpretation of the paper for colleagues in research and clinical practice.

Objective To analyze the clinical risk factors for chronic complications in patients with type 2 diabetes and their correlation with bone mineral density and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3. Methods A total of 163 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were selected as research subjects and were divided into complication group and non-complication group according to the presence or absence of chronic complications. The independent related factors for chronic complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were analyzed. Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between bone mineral density, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and chronic complications. Results Among the 326 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, 202 developed chronic complications (61.96%), including 71 cases of cardiovascular disease, 59 cases of neuropathy, 33 cases of renal lesion, and 28 cases of retinopathy. There were statistically significant differences in the duration of diabetes mellitus, fasting blood glucose, systolic blood pressure, glycosylated hemoglobin, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, serum creatinine, bone mineral density, and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 between the complication group and the non-complication group (P<0.05). Logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that the duration of diabetes mellitus, systolic blood pressure, glycosylated hemoglobin, ow density lipoprotein cholesterol, serum creatinine, bone mineral density, and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 were all independent related factors for the occurrence of chronic complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that bone mineral density and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 were negatively correlated with chronic complications (P<0.05). Conclusion Bone mineral density and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus are closely related to chronic complications.

The operation time was 81.6±4.3 min (range, 70-90 min), the intraoperative blood loss was 177.5±12.6 ml (range, 160-200 ml), and the hospital stay was 6.8±0.7 days (range, 6-9 days). The VAS score of the hip joint was 1.8±0.6 before operation and 2.3±0.6 at the last follow-up, and the difference was not statistically significant ( t=2.845, P=0.224). The preoperative HHS score was 57.1±5.9, and it increased to 87.3±4.0 at the last follow-up, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-22.141, P=0.001). At the last follow-up, the femoral anteversion angle was 17.0°±1.5°, which was lower than that before operation 41.6°±2.4°, with a statistically significant difference ( t=-44.868, P=0.008). The leg length discrepancy was 10.2±2.3 mm, which was lower than that before operation (26.4±6.1 mm), with a statistically significant difference ( t=-12.892, P<0.001). The lateral center-edge angle was 28° (26°, 30°), and the acetabular coverage rate was 78% (76%, 79%). The curative effect evaluation standard score of congenital dislocation of the hip was 24 (16.7, 25.7) points, including 7 excellent cases, 14 good cases, 4 fair cases, and 3 poor cases. The excellent and good rate was 75% (21/28). Conclusion:The modified Colonna arthroplasty for the treatment of unilateral dislocation DDH in adolescents has good mid-and long-term hip function recovery and radiographic improvement.

ObjectiveTo construct a quantitative prediction model of three indicators(moisture absorption rate, film thickness and coating weight gain) during the coating process of Vitamin C Yinqiao tablets(VCYT) by near-infrared spectroscopy(NIRS), and to realize the endpoint judgment. MethodReal-time NIRS data of 4 batches of VCYT during the coating process were collected by diffuse reflection method. The coating method employed was the rolling coating method, and the samples were obtained at the spray stage from the coater's sampling port every 10 minutes, and 57 batches of samples(about 1 800 tablets) were collected at various coating times, the tablets were embedded in molten paraffin, cut longitudinally, and observed by stereomicroscope. The film thickness, with a target value of 38 μm, was then measured using Motic Images Advanced 3.2 software. Furthermore, the mositure absorption rate of samples, aiming for a target value of 3%, was determined in accordance with guiding principles for drug hygroscopicity testing in the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia, and 3 samples were randomly selected from each batch(10 tablets per batch), and the coating weight gain was calculated(target value of 4%). Partial least squares regression(PLSR) was used to construct a quantitative model of the 3 coating indicators, and the predicted values of the coating indicators were smoothed using the moving average method and used to determine the coating endpoints. ResultThe prediction determination coefficients(Rp2) for moisture absorption rate, film thickness and coating weight gain were 0.933 4, 0.932 6 and 0.965 9, the root mean square errors of prediction(RMSEP) were 0.163 5%, 1.870 9 μm and 0.240 3%, the relative percent deviations(RPD) were 3.711 0, 2.760 7 and 5.415 8, respectively. The results of the external validation set demonstrated that the real-time predicted values obtained by the models exhibited the same trend as the measured values, and the coating endpoint could be accurately predicted(with a prediction error of less than 7.32 min and a relative error of less than 5.63%). ConclusionThe established NIRS model exhibits excellent predictive performance and can be used for quality control of VCYT during the coating process.
