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.

Patients with acute heart failure (AHF) often experience dyspnea, and monitoring and quantifying their breathing patterns can provide reference information for disease and prognosis assessment. In this study, 39 AHF patients and 24 healthy subjects were included. Nighttime chest-abdominal respiratory signals were collected using wearable devices, and the differences in nocturnal breathing patterns between the two groups were quantitatively analyzed. Compared with the healthy group, the AHF group showed a higher mean breathing rate (BR_mean) [(21.03 ± 3.84) beat/min vs. (15.95 ± 3.08) beat/min, P < 0.001], and larger R_RSBI_cv [70.96% (54.34%-104.28)% vs. 58.48% (45.34%-65.95)%, P = 0.005], greater AB_ratio_cv [(22.52 ± 7.14)% vs. (17.10 ± 6.83)%, P = 0.004], and smaller SampEn (0.67 ± 0.37 vs. 1.01 ± 0.29, P < 0.001). Additionally, the mean inspiratory time (TI_mean) and expiration time (TE_mean) were shorter, TI_cv and TE_cv were greater. Furthermore, the LBI_cv was greater, while SD1 and SD2 on the Poincare plot were larger in the AHF group, all of which showed statistically significant differences. Logistic regression calibration revealed that the TI_mean reduction was a risk factor for AHF. The BR_ mean demonstrated the strongest ability to distinguish between the two groups, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.846. Parameters such as breathing period, amplitude, coordination, and nonlinear parameters effectively quantify abnormal breathing patterns in AHF patients. Specifically, the reduction in TI_mean serves as a risk factor for AHF, while the BR_mean distinguishes between the two groups. These findings have the potential to provide new information for the assessment of AHF patients.

【Objective】 To explore the recruitment and retention strategy of blood donors by investigating the age composition of blood donors in some areas of China, so as to promote blood donation and enhance clinical blood supply. 【Methods】 Through the working platform of Practice Comparison Working Group of China’s Mainland Blood Collection and Supply Institutions, the average age and age composition of blood donors from 22 blood centers were collected, and statistical analysis was conducted after eliminating invalid data. 【Results】 The median average age of blood donors during the survey year was 30.02.The median age in 2.89% of the blood centers was lower than 25. The average age of different genders was statistically significant only in 2018(P<0.05). Fot first-time blood donors, the median constituent ratio of donors <25 and ≥25 years old was 54.53% and 44.28%, with median retention rate at 10.30% and 9.61%, respectively. The median overall participation rate of blood donors was 2.7%, with median participation rate of blood donors <25 years old at 5.1%. 【Conclusion】 The recruitment and retention of blood donor is crucial to enhance clinical blood supply. Blood donors <25 years old, with a longer period for future donation, should be the main target of blood donation recruitment. Meanwhile, the revision of upper age limit for blood donation is another important initiative to grow the blood donor pool.

Objective:To investigate the value of machine learning-based computed tomography (CT) images radiomics analysis in preoperative evaluation of surgical portal vein-superior mesenteric vein (PV-SMV) invasion in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).Methods:The retrospective study was conducted with 156 consecutive PDAC patients who were underwent surgery at the Affiliated Wuxi No.2 People's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University between January 2010 and July 2021. There were 95 males and 61 females, with the age of (65.7±8.2) years. Patients were randomly split into training set and validation set by a ratio of 3∶2. Minimum redundancy maximum relevance was used to select radiomic features, which were extracted from contrast-enhanced CT images. Five machine learning classifiers were developed, and those models' area under the curve (AUC) values were compared with the conventional radiologic-feature-based evaluation.Results:Ninety-four and 52 patients were included into the training set and validation set, respectively. Their PV-SMV invasion rates were confirmed by intraoperative exploration with 31.9%(30/94) and 40.3%(25/61), respectively. Five models: LASSO regression, random forest, support vector machine, k-nearest neighbor and Naive Bayesian, were established based on ten features from CT images radiomics, and LASSO regression model achieved the highest AUC value compared with the other four models (all P<0.05). Compared with the conventional radiologic evaluation, the LASSO regression model had higher AUC (0.920 vs. 0.752) and sensitivity (92.0% vs. 86.5%)(both P<0.05). Conclusion:Machine learning-based CT images radiomics analysis can be used to evaluate PV-SMV invasion status preoperatively in PDAC. The LASSO regression model showed better performance than the conventional radiologic evaluation.

Cardiac hypertrophy is a common physiological or pathological process, and pathological cardiac hypertrophy can lead to heart failure, sudden death, etc. The role of microRNA (miRNA or MIR) in myocardial hypertrophy has gradually attracted public attention. miR-1 plays a certain protective role in the occurrence of cardiac hypertrophy. miR-133 is a key factor in the establishment of mast gene program, which is very important for the development of myocardial hypertrophy. Carvedilol and other drugs can regulate the expression of miR-133. miR-208a plays an important physiological role in the cardiovascular system, and its expression level changes dynamically in a variety of cardiovascular diseases such as cardiac hypertrophy, which is closely related to the progression and prognosis of the disease. The expression of miR-199a is up-regulated in pressure-overload cardiac hypertrophy, and it is found that miR-199a can inhibit autophagy of cardiomyocytes and induce the occurrence of cardiac hypertrophy. miR-200c can protect cardiomyocytes through a variety of pathways. miRNA may become an important biomarker or drug therapeutic target for cardiac hypertrophy. With the deepening of the research on non-coding RNAs including miRNA, its regulation on the occurrence of cardiac hypertrophy and the pathological process of heart failure will be further revealed.
