Autoimmune hepatitis （AIH） is a chronic inflammatory liver disease. The pathogenesis of AIH remains unclear， but it is mainly autoimmune injury caused by the breakdown of autoimmune tolerance due to the abnormal activation of the immune system， while the specific molecular mechanism remains unknown. Recent studies have shown that abnormal amino acid metabolism plays an important role in the development and progression of AIH. This article reviews the research advances in amino acid metabolic reprogramming in AIH， in order to provide a theoretical basis for amino acid metabolism as a new target for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of AIH.

Objective: To assess the awareness and associated factors of wild mushroom poisoning among students in Guizhou Province, so as to provide a scientific foundation for wild mushroom poisoning prevention and control among students. Methods: By a multi stage stratified cluster random sampling method, 1 162 students from Guizhou Province were selected in May 2024. The questionnaire survey was administered to evaluate knowledge regarding wild mushroom poisoning. Data were analyzed employing the χ 2 test and Logistic regression model. Results: Among the nine questions assessing awareness of wild mushroom poisoning, only three had the awareness rate exceeding 70%. Binary Logistic regression analysis revealed that students who "actively learn about the prevention of wild mushroom poisoning" ( OR=0.48, 95%CI =0.26-0.92) and "spread knowledge about wild mushroom poisoning to others" ( OR=0.47, 95%CI =0.33-0.69) scored higher on the wild mushroom poisoning knowledge questions ( P <0.05). Conversely, students with a habit of consuming wild mushrooms ( OR=1.52, 95%CI =1.15-2.02) scored lower ( P < 0.05 ). 42.3% of the students suggested that scientific dissemination and publicity about wild mushrooms should be intensified. Conclusions The awareness rate of wild mushroom poisoning knowledge among students in Guizhou Province requires further attention. Comprehensive knowledge should be disseminated systematically through various channels to further improve students awareness of the prevention and control of wild mushroom poisoning.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical value of anlotinib in third-line treatment for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer （NSCLC） through real-world data. METHODS Clinical data of patients with advanced NSCLC who received treatment at the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Chinese Medicine from February 2021 to December 2024 were retrospectively collected. They were divided into anlotinib group （27 cases， receiving anlotinib therapy） and immunotherapy group （22 cases， receiving immunotherapy agents alone or in combination with chemotherapy drugs） according to treatment regimens. The progression-free survival （PFS） and overall survival （OS） of patients were compared between the two groups， and the occurrence of adverse drug reactions during the treatment period was recorded. Using a partitioned survival model， an economic evaluation of the two treatment regimens was conducted with a cost-utility analysis approach from the perspective of the healthcare system. RESULTS The median PFS and OS of patients in the anlotinib group were 5.93 months and 11.27 months， respectively； the median PFS and OS of patients in the immunotherapy group were 5.33 months and 9.77 months， respectively； the difference was not statistically significant （P＞0.05）. There was no statistical difference in the total incidence of adverse drug reactions and grade 3-4 serious adverse drug reactions between the two groups （P＞0.05）. Compared with the immunotherapy group， the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of the anlotinib group was 1 806 724.60 yuan/quality-adjusted life year （QALY）， which was significantly higher than three times China’s per capita gross domestic product in 2024 （287 247 yuan/QALY）. CONCLUSIONS For third-line treatment of advanced NSCLC patients， the efficacy of anlotinib is no worse than that of immunotherapy alone or in combination with chemotherapy drugs， and the safety of the two groups is comparable. However， anlotinib is not cost-effective.

This case report presents a 16-year-old male patient with deficiency of adenosine deaminase 2(DADA2). The patient had a history of Raynaud′s phenomenon with digital ulcers since childhood. As the disease progressed, the patient developed retinal vasculitis, intracranial hemorrhage, skin necrosis, severe malnutrition, refractory hypertension, and gastrointestinal bleeding. Genetic testing revealed compound heterozygous mutations in the ADA2 gene (paternal c.1072G > A pathogenic mutation + maternal c.1065C > A variant of unknown clinical significance). ADA2 enzyme activity was significantly reduced (0.1 U/L). A multidisciplinary treatment team developed an individualized plan to address key issues, including nutritional support, blood pressure control, rehabilitation, pain management, and balancing anticoagulation/bleeding risks. After systematic intervention, the patient′s condition showed partial improvement. This case reveals clinical challenges such as anticoagulation decisions and nutritional support of DADA2. It also emphasizes the importance of early molecular diagnosis, tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitor targeted therapy, and multidisciplinary collaboration in management, underlining the core value of precision medicine in rare disease management.

Objective To investigate the correlation between the manual compression on injection point and the incidence of subcutaneous bleeding after subcutaneous injection of low molecular weight heparin(LMWH)in elderly patients with coronary artery disease.Methods A total of 131 elderly patients with coronary artery disease,who received subcutaneous injection of LMWH after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)at the Affiliated Nanjing Hospital of Nanjing Medical University of China between January 2019 and December 2021,were enrolled in this study.According to whether the manual compression on the injection point was employed or not after the injection of LMWH,the patients were divided into the study group(n=67)and the control group(n=64).The operation process of subcutaneous injection of LMWH was carried out in accordance with the"Supervision Standard for Nursing Quality of Hypodermic Injection of Low Molecular Weight Heparin"which was included in the norms formulated by authors'hospital.For the patients of the study group,the injection point was manually pressed for 3-5 min after the injection of LMWH,the manually-used force was to press the skin down for 1cm deep.The incidence of subcutaneous bleeding was compared between the two groups.Results In the study group and the control group,the incidence of subcutaneous ecchymosis was 9.0%and 7.8%respectively,the incidence of subcutaneous hard tubercle was 4.5%and 1.6%respectively,the differences between the two groups were not statistically significant(both P＞0.05).The patient's age,gender,abdominal circumference and body mass index(BMI)carried no obvious correlation with the subcutaneous bleeding after LMWH injection(P＞0.05),while a statistically significant correlation existed between the abdominal wall fat thickness and the subcutaneous bleeding(P＜0.05),which could be used as an independent predictor for the occurrence of subcutaneous bleeding after LMWH injection.Conclusion No obvious correlation exists between the manual compression on injection point and the incidence of subcutaneous bleeding in elderly patients with coronary artery disease after subcutaneous injection of LMWH,therefore,no compression manipulation,used as a hemostatic measure,is required after subcutaneous injection of LMWH.The abdominal wall fat thickness is an independent predictor for subcutaneous bleeding after injection of LMWH.Standard operation procedures should be strictly followed so as to avoid the occurrence of subcutaneous bleeding after injection of LMWH.(J Intervent Radiol,2024,32:77-81)

Objective To explore the predictive value of slow apparent diffusion coefficient(ADCslow),fast apparent diffusion coefficient(ADCfast)and perfusion fraction(f)value of intravoxel incoherent motion in body diffusion-weighted imaging(IVIM-DWI)sequence in early lumbar disc degeneration in young people.Methods The IVIM-DWI technique was used as quantitative magnetic resonance imaging for 120 patients(596 lumbar intervertebral discs)with lower back pain included in Wenzhou People's Hospital.The ADCslow,ADCfast and f values of all lumbar intervertebral discs were measured,and then they were divided into 3 groups according to the Pfirrmann grading standard.SPSS 20.0 statistical software was used to analyze the data.Results The ADCfast value has statistical significance in distinguishing the lumbar intervertebral discs of each group:The area under the curve(AUC)of the normal group vs.the early degenerative group was 0.766,with a sensitivity of 64.2%and a specificity of 78.5%;The AUC of the normal group vs.the mid to late stage degenerative group was 0.822,with a sensitivity of 67.9%and a specificity of 91.3%;The AUC of the early degeneration group vs.the middle and late stage degeneration group was 0.797,with a sensitivity of 62.1%and a specificity of 92.1%.The ADCslow value has statistical significance in distinguishing the lumbar intervertebral discs of each group:AUC=0.707 in the normal group vs.the early degenerative group,with a sensitivity of 83.6%and a specificity of 61.0%;The AUC of the normal group vs.the mid to late stage degenerative group was 0.701,with a sensitivity of 84.5%and a specificity of 58.6%;The AUC of the early degeneration group vs.the middle and late stage degeneration group was 0.668,with a sensitivity of 86.6%and a specificity of 51.0%.The f value cannot distinguish between different groups of lumbar intervertebral discs.Conclusion ADCslow and ADCfast of IVIM-DWI sequence have certain accuracy and specificity in distinguishing the early degeneration of lumbar intervertebral disc in young people,which provides a reliable basis for early clinical treatment.

Objective To explore the independent risk factors that affect the overall survival(OS)of elderly patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC,≥60 years old)and build a nomogram prediction model.Methods Clinical data of all elderly patients with HCC from the SEER database from 2005 to 2020 were downloaded from SEER database.In accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria,the screened patients were randomly assigned to a training group(70%)and a validation group(30%).The independent risk factors of elderly patients with HCC were determined by univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses and further validated by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis.On the basis of the determined variables,nomograms were developed and verified to predict the OS of elderly patients with HCC at 6,12,and 24 months.The consistency index(C index),calibration curve,receiver's operating characteristic(ROC)curve,and area under curve(AUC)were used to evaluate the prediction efficiency and discrimination ability of the prediction model,and decision curve analysis(DCA)was used to evaluate the potential clinical application value of the nomogram.Results A total of 1134 elderly patients with HCC were included,with 793 in the training group and 341 in the validation group.Seven variables,including age,clinical grade,clinical stage,M stage,tumor size classification,and radiotherapy,were identified as independent prognostic factors of this population.The constructed nomogram shows excellent prediction performance,with C indices of 0.745 in the training group and 0.704 in the validation group.The AUC values of the training group at 6,12,and 24 months were 0.785,0.788,and 0.798,respectively,and those of the validation group were 0.780,0.725,and 0.607,respectively.The calibration curve shows good consistency from the predicted survival probability to the actual probability.The ROC curve and DCA show that the nomogram proposed in this study has good prediction ability.Conclusion Age,clinical grade,clinical stage,M stage,tumor size classification,and radiotherapy are important influencing factors for the survival of elderly patients with HCC.The prediction model of prognosis nomogram constructed in this study has good predictive value,and it can be used to predict the OS of elderly patients with HCC,which could be helpful for individualized survival assessment and clinical management of these patients.

In recent years,the international drug control situation has become increasingly serious.According to the statistical data of the year 2021 from UNODC,in the past decade,the trafficking volume of traditional drug(such as methamphetamine,cannabis and cocaine)has continued to rise,new psychoactive substances(NPS)have emerged one after another,the drugs as well as their precursors and metabolites have become a new group of pollutants.They widely exist in environmental media such as water,air,sludge and soil,due to the manufacture and abuse of drugs,which endangers human and animal safety.Drug detection data from environmental samples can reflect the local drug use situation objectively,real-time,accurately and effectively,which is helpful to grasp the spatial distribution and time changes,monitor the development trends of drug abuse,assess the trend of drug abuse reasonably,and assist in combating related illegal and criminal activities through comprehensive data analysis.At present,sewage monitoring has become an important means of drug monitoring in countries around the world.Sewage testing can assess drug consumption in a place reasonably,and sewage network traceability technology can reduce the scope of regional investigation of drug manufacturing dens effectively,so as to combat accurately.Drug detection in the atmosphere,sludge and soil has been carried out in some foreign countries,but it has not been used as a long-term monitoring means.Long-term monitoring of drugs from the environment in a variety of ways not only helps to effectively update the drug situation in the region,but also to better understand local trends in drug use and identify new drugs of abuse.It will provide data support for more accurate monitoring and combating drug crimes in the future.This paper reviews the methods for detecting drugs and other related compounds in different environmental matrices including sewage,atmosphere and sludge in China and other countries,including the study on the sources and forms of related compounds in different environments,the preparation of different matrix samples and the quantitative analysis of drugs from environment,as well as the existing problems and shortcomings of various detection methods.Finally,the drug detection technology and comprehensive monitoring system in the environment are prospected.
