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.

Objective To observe the changes of laboratory blood indexes in patients with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy(ICP),and analyze the value of blood inflammation indexes and liver function indexes in the diagnosis of ICP and the prediction of delivery mode.Methods A total of 251 patients diagnosed with ICP in this hospital from January 2021 to December 2022 were selected as the ICP group,and another 200 healthy pregnant women were selected as the control group.The patients with ICP were further divided into the severe ICP group(n=47)and the mild ICP group(n=204),the vaginal delivery group(n=113)and the cesarean section group(n=138)according to the severity of ICP and delivery mode.Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of parameters between groups,and Spearman method was used for correlation analy-sis.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were used to evaluate the efficacy of laboratory indicators in diagnosing ICP and predicting delivery mode.Results Neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio(NLR)[6.01(4.45,8.37)vs.3.36(4.12,3.51)]and aspartate transaminase(AST)level[20.00(16.00,33.00)U/L vs.15.00(13.00,18.00)U/L]in the ICP group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05),and NLR in the severe ICP group was significantly higher than that in the mild ICP group[4.93(3.87,7.35)vs.4.14(3.12,5.17),P＜0.05].Correlation analysis showed that NLR was positively correlated with AST level(r=0.279,P＜0.001)and ICP severity(r=0.139,P=0.028)in patients with ICP.The area under ROC curve(AUC)of NLR combined with AST for ICP diagnosis was 0.882(95％CI:0.851-0.913).In ad-dition,cholinesterase(CHE)[6 020.00(5 499.50,6 703.50)U/L vs.5 341.50(4 651.75,6 259.25)U/L]and prealbumin(PA)[199.00(177.71,225.20)mg/Lvs.169.17(139.18,204.40)mg/L]levels in the va-ginal delivery group were significantly higher than those in the cesarean section group(P＜0.05),and the AUC of CHE combined with PA for predicting vaginal delivery in ICP patients was 0.727(95％CI:0.664-0.789).Conclusion NLR and AST have potential value in the diagnosis of ICP,and CHE and PA have poten-tial value in predicting delivery mode of ICP patients.

BACKGROUND:Acellular vascular scaffolds can mimic the microstructure and function of native blood vessels,but some extracellular matrix loss occurs during their preparation,which affects their hemocompatibility.Therefore,it is necessary to modify them to improve their hemocompatibility. OBJECTIVE:To assess the hemocompatibility of acellular vascular scaffold prepared by Triton-x100/heparin sodium treatment. METHODS:The abdominal aorta was taken from SD rats and randomly divided into control and experimental groups.The control group was treated with Triton-x100 for 48 hours.The experimental group was treated with Triton-x100 for 48 hours and then treated with heparin sodium.The morphology and hydrophilicity of the two groups of acellular vascular scaffolds were detected.The hemocompatibility of the two groups of acellular vascular scaffold was evaluated by recalcification coagulation time test,platelet adhesion test,dynamic coagulation time test,hemolysis test,and complement activation test. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Scanning electron microscopy showed that the surface of the two groups of vascular scaffolds was relatively intact,and a large number of fiber filaments appeared on the surface of the scaffolds after decellularity treatment,and the surface microstructure changed significantly.The water contact angle of the two groups of vascular scaffolds was smaller than that of natural vessels(P<0.000 1).There was no significant difference in water contact angle between the two groups(P>0.05).(2)The coagulation time of vascular scaffold was longer in the experimental group than in the control group(P<0.05).The number of platelets attached to the scaffold membrane was less in the experimental group than that in the control group(P<0.000 1).The coagulation index was greater in the experimental group than that in the control group(P<0.01),and the complement level was lower in the experimental group than that in the control group(P<0.001).The hemolysis rate of the two groups was lower than 5%of the national standard.(3)To conclude,acellular scaffold treated with Triton-x100/heparin sodium has excellent hemocompatibility.

Abstract Enhancing the health literacy of the entire population is a prerequisite for improving the health of the entire population, and since the health attitudes and behaviors formed during childhood and adolescence have a profound impact on the health patterns of adulthood, the enhancement of health literacy of children and adolescents is of particular importance. As the main place for children and adolescents to receive education, schools should better fulfil the function of education and promotion of health literacy. China has been carrying out the pilot and promotion of health promoting schools (HPS) since 1995, and is currently in the stage of comprehensive improvement of HPS construction. This paper introduces the background and characteristics of Health-Literate Schools (HeLit-Schools) in foreign countries and compares them with HPS in China, drawing on the advantages of HeLit-Schools to provide a new idea and a new way of thinking for the construction of HPS in China and for the practice of the "Healthy China Initiative".

Objective To discuss the possible etiology,pathogenesis,clinical features,diagnosis and treatment of epidermoid cysts of the jaw and to provide a reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods A case of an epi-dermoid cyst in the right mandible with retained deciduous teeth and succedaneous impacted teeth was reviewed and an-alyzed in combination with the relevant literature.Results A patient presented with a mass in the right mandible that had persisted for 1 month after being found at imaging examination.Tooth 83 was retained,and tooth 43 was unerupted.Swelling was characterized by no obvious tenderness,fluctuation,or table tennis sensation and was observed in the lin-gual alveoli of teeth 83,44,and 45.Imaging revealed a low-density shadow in the apex of teeth 83,44,45,and 46,approximately 1.9 cm × 2.6 cm × 1.6 cm in size,which wrapped around the dental crown of tooth 43.Preliminary diag-noses were as follows:right mandibular mass thought to be a dentigerous cyst;impacted tooth 43;and retained primary tooth 83.The mass in the right mandible was removed,and teeth 43 and 83 were extracted under intravenous and inha-lation anesthesia.During the operation,the mass was observed to have a thin cyst wall and contained bean-like residue.Histopathological examination indicated an epidermoid cyst in the right mandible.At the 1-week follow-up examination,the patient reported no discomfort,and the surgical area showed good recovery.According to the literature,epidermoid cysts are benign cysts originating from ectopic ectodermal tissue that can occur throughout the body but rarely in the oral cavity and are even extremely rarer in the jaw.Epidermoid cysts of the jaw,which have no specific clinical manifes-tations,can be confused with odontogenic cysts such as dentigerous cysts and odontogenic tumors.Dental pulp tests and other techniques can serve as a reference for clinicians.The diagnosis is confirmed via histopathology.Surgical removal is a common treatment,with a good prognosis and a low recurrence rate.Conclusion The principle of treatment for an epidermoid cyst of the jaw is similar to that for a jaw cyst.The prognosis is good when the cyst is removed completely.

Objective To explore the prognostic impact and clinical application value of therapeutic plasma exchange(TPE)intervention timing and liver injury periodization in patients with exertional heat stroke(EHS).Methods Data of 127 EHS patients from the First Medical Center of the General Hospital of the People′s Liberation Army from January 2011 to December 2023 were collected,then divided into the death group and the survival group based on therapeutic outcomes and into 5 stages according to the dynamic changes of ALT,AST,TBIL and DBIL.According to propensity score matching analysis,11 patients in the survival group and 12 patients in the death group were included in the statistical analysis,and 20 of them were treated with TPE.The changes in indicators and clinical outcomes before and after TPE were observed,in order to evaluate the impact of intervention timing on prognosis.Results Among the 23 patients,14 had no liver injury or could progress to the repair phase,resulting in 3 deaths(with the mortality rate of 21.43%),while 9 patients failed to pro-gress to the repair phase,resulting in 9 deaths(with the mortality rate of 100%),with significant differences(P＜0.05).The mortality rate of the first TPE intervention before the third stage of liver injury was 23.08%(3/13),while that of interven-tion after reaching or exceeding the third stage was 85.71%(6/7),and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion TPE should be executed actively in EHS patients combined with liver injury before the third phase to lock its pathological and physiological processes,thereby improving prognosis and reducing mortality.

Objective To review the occurrence of allergic reactions during therapeutic plasma exchange(TPE)and to explore the risk factors of TPE allergic reactions.Methods The clinical data of 929 patients treated with TPE using plasma components by the Department of Transfusion Medicine in our medical center from 2018 to 2023 were collected.The influen-cing factors of allergic reactions were analyzed by univariate analysis,and the independent risk factors of allergic reactions were analyzed by logistic multivariate regression analysis.Results A total of 4 071 TPEs were performed in 929 patients.A-mong them,198 patients(21.31%)experienced 349 times(8.57%)of allergic reactions,with the incidence of gradeⅠ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ allergic reactions of 16.33%,81.38%and 2.29%,respectively,and no deaths.The univariate analysis showed that the patient′s age,allergy history,diagnosis of immune-related diseases,ICU admission,plasma consumption,total blood volume,maximum blood flow rate and combined use of albumin were related to the occurrence of allergic reactions(P＜0.05).Multivariate regression analysis showed that young patients,a history of allergy,immune-related diseases and non-ICU patients were prone to allergic reactions in TPE,but the treatment options of TPE such as substitute fluid category,plasma consumption and blood flow rate were not related to the occurrence of allergic reactions.Conclusion There are sig-nificant individual differences in the occurrence of allergic reactions for TPE,and young age,history of allergies,immune-related diseases and non-ICU patients are risk factors for allergic reactions in TPE.Identifying patients with risk factors be-fore TPE treatment and giving corresponding preventive measures can reduce the incidence of allergic reactions.

Pulmonary hypertension has a high mortality rate,and although targeted therapy is available,it is still incurable,and the long-term prognosis for patients is poor.As a tyrosine kinase inhibitor,imatinib was approved for marketing in China in 2002 for the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia and other tumor diseases.In addition to the antitumor effects,imatinib was found to improve hemodynamics and exercise tolerance in patients with severe pulmonary arterial hypertension,but the safety was suboptimal.With the emergence of new formulations of imatinib targeted at the lungs,it is expected to become a new targeted drug for pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Objective To investigate the relationship between polymorphism of resistin(RETN)gene and metabolic associated fatty liver disease(MAFLD)in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)patients in middle and high altitude areas.Methods A total of 400 patients with T2DM in Qinghai area were recruited and divided into simple T2DM group(T2DM,n=200)and T2DM combined with MAFLD group(T2DM+ MAFLD,n=200)according to liver ultrasonography.Healthy individuals confirmed by physical examination were selected as the normal control group(NC,n=180).Plasma resistin levels were measured by ELISA.The polymorphism of RETN-420C/G and +299G/A genes were detected by PCR sequencing.Results By comparing the polymorphism of RETN-420C/G gene in each group,it was found that the frequencies of G/G genotype and G allele frequency in T2DM+MAFLD group were higher than those in NC group and T2DM group(P<0.05),while the frequencies of C/C genotype and C allele frequency were lower than those in NC group and T2DM group(P<0.05).The risk of MAFLD increased by 1.571,2.126 and 1.537 times respectively in T2DM patients with C/G,G/G genotype and G allele.Logistic regression analysis showed that G/G genotype was a risk factor for MAFLD in T2DM patients.By comparing the polymorphism of RETN+299G/A gene in each group,it was found that A allele frequency in T2DM+MAFLD group was higher than that in NC group and T2DM group,while G allele frequency was lower than that in NC group and T2DM group(P<0.05).The allele A increased the risk of MAFLD in T2DM patients by 1.432 times compared to allele G.Conclusion RETN gene-420C/G locus G/G genotype increases the risk of T2DM combined with MAFLD in middle and high altitudeareas.

ObjectiveTo investigate the tumor inhibition effect and mechanism of Yifei Sanjie Pills （益肺散结丸， YSP） on lung cancer. MethodsLewis lung cancer tumor-derived mice were established and divided into four groups including model control group， cisplatin group， cisplatin + YSP low-dose group and cisplatin + YSP high-dose group， with 12 mice in each group. The corresponding interventions were given for 14 days. The tumor volume was measured on the 0th， 3rd， 7th， 10th and 14th days of administration to evaluate the tumor growth. The plasma and tumor tissue were collected on the 15th day. Plasma from the model group， the cisplatin group and the cisplatin+YSP high-dose group were selected， and plasma exosomes were extracted； the differences in miRNA expression among the groups were detected and analyzed by second-generation sequencing technology， and the potential mechanism of action of YSP was investigated by principal component analysis， biofunctional enrichment analysis and miRNA-target gene regulatory network analysis. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to detect the expression of miRNA-615-3p in tumor tissues， and the relationship between miRNA-615-3p and overall survival of lung cancer were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier plotter （kmplot.com） database. ResultsCompared to that of the model control group， the tumor volume of the cisplatin group on day 10， and the cisplatin + YSP low- and high-dose groups on day 7， 10， and 14 were significantly reduced （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared to that of the cisplatin group， the tumor volume of the cisplatin + YSP low- and high-dose groups on day 10 and 14 was significantly reduced （P＜0.05）. The principal component analysis of miRNA expression profiles showed significant differences in miRNA expression between different intervention groups. There were 21 differentially expressed miRNAs between the model control group and the cisplatin group， 50 differentially expressed miRNAs between the model control group and the cisplatin+ YSP high-dose group， and 6 differentially expressed miRNAs between the cisplatin group and the cisplatin+ YSP high-dose group. Biological function enrichment analysis showed that the differentially expressed miRNAs were mainly involved in the regulation of signaling pathways related to cell growth， proliferation， differentiation， autophagy and other biological activities. The miRNA-target gene regulatory network showed the top 20 genes that were targeted， among which there were proven miRNAs and genes related to lung cancer， and miRNAs that needed further investigation. The expression of miRNA-615-3p in tumor tissues decreased significantly in the cisplatin group and cisplatin+YSP high-dose group compared to that of the model group（P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. The miRNA-615-3p was negatively correlated with the survival prognosis of lung cancer（P＜0.05）. ConclusionCisplatin combined with YSP can effectively inhibit the proliferation of Lewis lung cancer tumors， and the tumor-suppressive effect is related to the regulation of multiple miRNAs， especially the downregulation of miRNA-615-3p expression.
