Objective:To explore the prognostic value of BRCA1-associated protein 1 (BAP1) expression loss in patients with malignant mesothelioma (MM) .Methods:A total of 82 MM patients from January 1998 to December 2017 in Zhejiang Province were selected to detect the expression of BAP1 protein by immunohistochemical analysis. Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw the survival curve, and multivariate Cox proportional risk model was used to analyze the factors affecting the survival rate.Results:Among 82 MM patients, 61 (74.4%) were female, aged (57±11) years. BAP1 protein expression was deficient in 39 patients (47.6%). The survival rate was correlated with the loss of BAP1 protein expression and age (χ 2=5.27, 5.66, P=0.022, 0.017). Subgroup analysis showed that loss of BAP1 protein expression was associated with better prognosis in MM patients <57 years of age, female, pleural MM, epithelial MM, and treated with drugs or surgery ( P<0.05). Multivariate model results showed that positive expression of BAP1 protein ( HR=3.75, 95% CI: 2.23-6.30, P<0.001) and age ≥57 years ( HR=1.66, 95% CI: 1.01-2.72, P=0.049) were risk factors for survival in patients with MM. Conclusion:Loss of BAP1 protein expression may be an independent prognostic factor in patients with MM, which is associated with longer survival.

Gut microbiome is an important part of maintaining human homeostasis.In recent years, with the rapid development of sequencing technologies such as 16S rRNA and metagenome, people have a deeper and more comprehensive understanding about microorganisms.Studies in animals and humans have confirmed that the gut microbiome is not only involved in the pathological process of systemic diseases such as immune, metabolic and neurological disorders, but is also closely related to eye diseases.Factors such as host high blood glucose, immune disorders, aging, high intraocular pressure can cause gut microbiota dysbiosis and increase gut-blood barrier permeability.Lipopolysaccharide, peptidoglycan and other pathogen-associated molecular patterns enter the systemic circulation through the damaged gut barrier and eventually reach the retina and uveitis where they participate the immune and inflammatory response process.In addition, gut-derived host immune cells or injury-related molecular patterns may exacerbate the ocular inflammatory cascade.At the same time, metabolites of microbiota, including those induced by diet and environment factors, such as bilirubin, bile acids and short-chain fatty acids, are involved in the progression of retinal diseases via regulating immune T cell balance, miRNA expression and retinal cell inflammatory activation.This article aims to review the domestic and foreign studies on gut microbiome in diabetic retinopathy, uveitis, age-related macular degeneration and glaucoma in recent years, and discuss the possible mechanisms of gut microbiome in eye diseases via the gut-retina axis in order to provide some new ideas for further study and treatment of eye diseases.

A patient with a history of sulfonamide allergy and dermatomyositis was admitted to the hospital due to secondary infection.After admission,a comprehensive examination confirmed the presence of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia(PJP)along with cytomegalovirus(CMV)and Klebsiella pneumoniae infections.Clinical pharmacists actively participated in the treatment process by referring to relevant clinical guidelines.For patients with Pneumocystis jirovecii infection,compound sulfamethoxazole(TMP-SMX)should be considered as the primary choice,while desensitization treatment is recommended for those with a history of sulfonamide allergy.Prior to treatment,the patient had pre-existing liver insufficiency and was on long-term glucocorticoid therapy,with complex medications.The clinical pharmacists provided individualized pharmaceutical care for this case,assisting clinicians in formulating scientifically and reasonably tailored drug treatment plans.They also offered new insights and references for selecting appropriate drugs considering the patient's previous sulfonamide allergies.After sulfonamide desensitization,the patients were administered a combination of TMP-SMX and carpofungin for anti-PJP treatment,along with ganciclovir for anti-CMV treatment,resulting in favorable therapeutic outcomes.

Objective To explore how to achieve isolation of clinical trial fees and general medical expenses of hospitalized subjects through information technology.Methods This article analyzed various methods for separating clinical trials fees from medical insurance and suggested that all methods need to protect subjects'medical insurance reimbursement rights and ensure that they do not occupy medical insurance funds.Based on this principle,A clinical trial cost segregation information module was developed based on inpatient's workstation.Results Through this information module,subjects could choose their medical status according to the actual medical situation.Doctors could issue medical orders in hospital information system(HIS)according to normal medical or trail needs,change the nature of the orders by adding or deleting clinical trial tags.The system automatically intercepts the clinical trial orders for reimbursement of medical insurance,while other expenses are reimbursed according to rules of medical insurance.Conclusion The application of this information module has improved the subjects'enthusiasm and compliance to participate in clinical trials,reduced their economic burden,and ensured their rights to enjoy reimbursement of medical insurance,which can be used as a reference example for newly registered clinical trial institution.

Objective:To establish a set of artificial intelligence (AI) verification rules for blood routine analysis.Methods:Blood routine analysis data of 18 474 hospitalized patients from the First Hospital of Jilin University during August 1st to 31st, 2019, were collected as training group for establishment of the AI verification rules,and the corresponding patient age, microscopic examination results, and clinical diagnosis information were collected. 92 laboratory parameters, including blood analysis report parameters, research parameters and alarm information, were used as candidate conditions for AI audit rules; manual verification combining microscopy was considered as standard, marked whether it was passed or blocked. Using decision tree algorithm, AI audit rules are initially established through high-intensity, multi-round and five-fold cross-validation and AI verification rules were optimized by setting important mandatory cases. The performance of AI verification rules was evaluated by comparing the false negative rate, precision rate, recall rate, F1 score, and pass rate with that of the current autoverification rules using Chi-square test. Another cohort of blood routine analysis data of 12 475 hospitalized patients in the First Hospital of Jilin University during November 1sr to 31st, 2023, were collected as validation group for validation of AI verification rules, which underwent simulated verification via the preliminary AI rules, thus performance of AI rules were analyzed by the above indicators. Results:AI verification rules consist of 15 rules and 17 parameters and do distinguish numeric and morphological abnormalities. Compared with auto-verification rules, the true positive rate, the false positive rate, the true negative rate, the false negative rate, the pass rate, the accuracy, the precision rate, the recall rate and F1 score of AI rules in training group were 22.7%, 1.6%, 74.5%, 1.3%, 75.7%, 97.2%, 93.5%, 94.7%, 94.1, respectively.All of them were better than auto-verification rules, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001), and with no important case missed. In validation group, the true positive rate, the false positive rate, the true negative rate, the false negative rate, the pass rate, the accuracy, the precision rate, the recall rate and F1 score were 19.2%, 8.2%, 70.1%, 2.5%, 72.6%, 89.2%, 70.0%, 88.3%, 78.1, respectively, Compared with the auto-verification rules, The false negative rate was lower, the false positive rate and the recall rate were slightly higher, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001). Conclusion:A set of the AI verification rules are established and verified by using decision tree algorithm of machine learning, which can identify, intercept and prompt abnormal results stably, and is moresimple, highly efficient and more accurate in the report of blood analysis test results compared with auto-vefication.

Objective : To examine the diagnostic and prognostic value of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) JPX in mesothelioma, so as to provide insights into diagnosis and prognosis of mesothelioma. Methods: Patients with clinically definitive diagnosis of mesothelioma from 2015 to 2019 that were sampled from asbestos processing plants in Zhejiang Province from 2015 to 2019 were recruited in the mesothelioma group, while healthy residents without asbestos exposure or asbestos-related diseases in the same area served as controls. Participants' demographics, pathologic diagnosis and imaging features were collected, and the expression of blood lncRNA JPX was detected using lncRNA microarrays. The diagnostic value of lncRNA JPX for mesothelioma was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the correlation between lncRNA JPX expression and prognosis was examined among mesothelioma patients using survival analysis. Results: There were 17 subjects in the mesothelioma group, with a mean age of (65.71±8.36) years, and 34 subjects in the controls, with a mean age of (64.24±8.70) years. LncRNA microarray detected significantly high lncRNA JPX expression in mesothelioma patients, and higher blood lncRNA JPX expression was detected in the mesothelioma group than in the control group [median (interquartile range), 1.10 (1.31) vs. 0.89 (0.54); t'=-2.300, P=0.034]. The area under the ROC curve was 0.673 (95%CI: 0.507-0.839, P=0.046), and if the cutoff was 1.759, the sensitivity and specificity were 35.3% and 100.0%, respectively. Survival analysis showed no significant difference in the survival rate of mesothelioma patients between the high lncRNA JPX expression group and the low expression group (χ2=0.212, P=0.645). Conclusions LncRNA JPX overexpression is detected in the blood of patients with mesothelioma, and lncRNA JPX expression presents a diagnostic value for mesothelioma; however, it shows little prognostic value for mesothelioma.

Objective:To investigate the types, incidences, and clinical characteristics of shock in polytrauma patients at different stages after polytrauma.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on polytrauma patients admitted to multiple trauma centers from June 2020 to December 2021. The inclusion criteria were patients >18 years old and treated due to polytrauma. Exclusion criteria included an admission time of more than 48 h after trauma, a history of malignancy, or metabolic, consumptive, and immunological diseases. The early stage was defined as the period of ≤48 h after polytrauma, and the middle stage was defined as the period between 48 h and 14 days. The patient’s medical history, clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, imaging examination, injury severity score (ISS), and Glasgow coma scale (GCS) were collected. The types, incidences, and clinical characteristics of shock in different stages after polytrauma were analyzed, according to the diagnostic criteria of each type of shock. The differences between the groups were compared by Student’s t test, χ2 test or Mann-Whitney U test. Results:The incidence of the early and middle stage shock after polytrauma were 73.1% and 36.4%, respectively, with statistically significant difference between stages ( P<0.01). There were significant differences in the incidence of hypovolemic shock (83.6% vs. 28.4%), distributed shock (13.7% vs. 80.9%) and cardiogenic shock (3.5% vs. 6.6%) between stages (all P<0.05). The incidence of obstructive shock (8.4% vs. 9.7%, P>0.05) was similar between stages. The incidence of undifferentiated shock was 1.6% and 1.2%, respectively. There were 9.5% patients with multifactorial shock in the early stage and 14.4% in the middle stage. Totally 7 combinations of multifactorial shock were found in different stages after polytrauma. In the early stage, the combination of HS and DS accounted the highest ratio (42.3%) and followed by HS and OS for 28.8%. In the middle stage, the combination of HS and DS was the most common (48.6%) and followed by DS and OS (24.3%). Conclusions:The incidence of shock in polytrauma patients is high. Different types of shock can occur simultaneously or sequentially. Therefore a comprehensive resuscitation strategy is significant to improve the success rate of treatment.

Several mutant genes for inherited retinal diseases have been identified, but effective treatments are still lacking.The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein (Cas) system can edit human genomic DNA by nonhomologous end joining or homology-directed repair, offering more possibilities for the treatment of hereditary retinal diseases.CRISPR/Cas9 not only can genetically correct patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to observe their differentiation into retinal cells thereby, thereby exploring the pathogenesis of the disease and implementing cell therapy, but can also be delivered to the body via vectors and directly act on target cells to achieve in vivo gene editing.CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology in hereditary retinal diseases has been mainly used in retinitis pigmentosa, hereditary X-linked juvenile retinoschisis, and Leber congenital amaurosis 10, of which the in vitro application of CRISPR/Cas9 for Leber congenital amaurosis 10 has entered the clinical trial stage.In this paper, we reviewed the mechanism and key advances of CRISPR/Cas9 and provided an overview of gene editing in IRDs.
