ObjectiveTo explore the data standard system of electronic medical records in the field of rehabilitation, focusing on the terminology and coding standards, data structure, and key content categories of rehabilitation electronic medical records. MethodsBased on the Administrative Norms for the Application of Electronic Medical Records issued by the National Health Commission of China, the electronic medical record standard architecture issued by the International Organization for Standardization and Health Level Seven (HL7), the framework of the World Health Organization Family of International Classifications (WHO-FICs), Basic Architecture and Data Standards of Electronic Medical Records, Basic Data Set of Electronic Medical Records, and Specifications for Sharing Documents of Electronic Medical Records, the study constructed and organized the data structure, content, and data standards of rehabilitation electronic medical records. ResultsThe data structure of rehabilitation electronic medical records should strictly follow the structure of electronic medical records, including four levels (clinical document, document section, data set and data element) and four major content areas (basic information, diagnostic information, intervention information and cost information). Rehabilitation electronic medical records further integrated information related to rehabilitation needs and characteristics, emphasizing rehabilitation treatment, into clinical information. By fully applying the WHO-FICs reference classifications, rehabilitation electronic medical records could establish a standardized framework, diagnostic criteria, functional description tools, coding tools and terminology index tools for the coding, indexing, functional description, and analysis and interpretation of diseases and health problems. The study elaborated on the data structure and content categories of rehabilitation electronic medical records in four major categories, refined the granularity of reporting rehabilitation content in electronic medical records, and provided detailed data reporting guidance for rehabilitation electronic medical records. ConclusionThe standardization of rehabilitation electronic medical records is significant for improving the quality of rehabilitation medical services and promoting the rehabilitation process of patients. The development of rehabilitation electronic medical records must be based on the national and international standards. Under the general electronic medical records data structure and standards, a rehabilitation electronic medical records data system should be constructed which incorporates core data such as disease diagnosis, functional description and assessment, and rehabilitation interventions. The standardized rehabilitation electronic medical records scheme constructed in this study can support the improvement of standardization of rehabilitation electronic medical records data information.

Objective:To explore the predictive value of a regression model based on diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) parameters for prediction of the recurrence risk in patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2)-negative early invasive breast cancer.Methods:A retrospective cross-sectional study was designed. The clinicopathological (age, histological grade, Ki-67 level, etc.) and imaging data of 50 patients (50 lesions) with ER-positive, HER-2 negative early invasive breast cancer who underwent treatment at Wuxi People′s Hospital from January 2016 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were female, aged 29 to 81 years, and underwent pre-operation conventional MRI and DKI examinations. The volume of breast fibroglandular tissue (FGT), background parenchymal enhancement (BPE), and internal enhancement features were recorded; the peak enhancement (PH), peak enhancement rate, time to peak, mean kurtosis (MK), and mean diffusivity (MD) were calculated. Based on the 21-gene recurrence risk scores, patients were divided into low recurrence risk group and medium-high recurrence risk group. Independent sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test, χ2 test were used to compare the differences of various indicators between the two groups. Two logistic models were constructed with age, PH, MD, and MK as independent variables (Pre1), and with Ki-67, age, PH, MD, and MK as independent variables (Pre2), respectively. The efficacy of the models in predicting low recurrence risk in patients was assessed using receiver operating characteristic curve and area under the curve (AUC). Results:There were 25 cases in the low recurrence risk group and 25 cases in the medium-high recurrence risk group. The differences in age, FGT, PH, MD, MK, and Ki-67 between the low recurrence risk group and the medium-high recurrence risk group were statistically significant (all P<0.05), while other indexes showed no statistically significant differences (all P>0.05). The AUC of Pre1 in predicting low recurrence risk of ER-positive, HER-2 negative early invasive breast cancer was 0.87, with a sensitivity of 0.76 and specificity of 0.88. The AUC of Pre2 for predicting the low recurrence risk of ER-positive, HER-2 negative early invasive breast cancer was 0.92, with a sensitivity of 0.84, and specificity of 0.92. Conclusions:A multi-parameter model based on DKI can effectively predict the recurrence risk of ER-positive and HER-2 negative breast cancer. The model with combination of Ki-67 can further improve the predictive efficacy, and help effectively identify patients at low recurrence risk.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Shegan Mahuangtang and its pungent and bitter Chinese herbs on the expression of transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 (TRPV1) and bitter taste receptor 14 (TAS2R14) in the lung tissue of the rat model of cold asthma. MethodSeventy SD rats were randomized into 7 groups: normal, model, Shegan Mahuangtang, pungent Chinese herbs, bitter Chinese herbs (6.43 g·kg-1), dexamethasone (0.5 g·kg-1), and Guilong Kechuanning (10 g·kg-1). The rat model of cold asthma was established by intraperitoneal injection and subcutaneous injection of 10% ovalbumin (OVA) and aluminium hydroxide in the limbs, combined with 2% OVA atomization and cold (2-4 ℃) stimulation. The rats were treated with corresponding drugs by gavage and atomization, and the normal and model groups were treated with the same amount of normal saline for 3 weeks. After the last excitation, airway inflammation and cell proliferation were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE), periodic acid-Schiff (PAS), and Masson staining of the lung tissue. The levels of interleukin-5 (IL-5), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) in the serum were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The expression of TRPV1 and TAS2R14 was detected by immunofluorescence. The expression of TRPV1, TAS2R14, phospholipase Cβ2 (PLCβ2), B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in the lung tissue was determined by Western blot. ResultCompared with the normal group, the model group showed decreased water intake, food intake, and body weight, increased airway inflammatory cell infiltration, goblet cell proliferation, tissue fibrosis and collagen deposition, elevated levels of IL-5, TNF-α, TSLP, and TGF-β1 in the serum (P<0.01), upregulated expression of TRPV1, PLCβ2, and α-SMA, and downregulated expression of TAS2R14 and Bcl-2 (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with model group, Shecgan Mahuangtang, pungent Chinese herbs, and bitter Chinese herbs increased the water intake, food intake, and body weight, reduced the inflammatory cell infiltration and goblet cell proliferation, alleviated tissue fibrosis and collagen deposition, lowered the levels of IL-5, TNF-α, TSLP, and TGF-β1 in the serum (P<0.01), downregulated the expression of TRPV1, PLCβ2, and α-SMA, and upregulated the expression of TAS2R14 and Bcl-2 (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionShegan Mahuangtang and its pungent and bitter Chinese herbs can reduce OVA-induced airway inflammation, downregulate the expression of TRPV1, PLCβ2, and α-SMA, and upregulate the expression of TAS2R14 and Bcl-2 in asthmatic rats. Moreover, bitter Chinese herbs outperformed pungent Chinese herbs, and the combination of them enhanced the therapeutic effect. It is suggested that Shegan Mahuangtang and its pungent and bitter Chinese herbs may ameliorate the OVA-induced airway inflammation by inhibiting TRPV1 and activating TAS2R14.

Objective:To explore the characteristics of gray matter volume (GMV) and structural covariant network (SCN) in patients with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) related cognitive impairment.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. Ninety-eight patients with CSVD who attended Wuxi People′s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University between October 2021 and December 2022 were prospectively included. The patients were evaluated using the cognitive status assessment scale and were categorized into 57 cases in the CSVD with cognitive impairment group and 41 cases in the CSVD without cognitive impairment group according to the presence or absence of cognitive impairment. 3D-T 1WI structural image data were collected, and GMV differences between the two groups were compared by SPM 12 toolbox and CAT12 toolkit. At the same time, Pearson correlation analysis was also performed to analyze the GMV of differences between the 2 groups and cognitive status assessment scale scores. The BCT software package based on MATLAB platform was used to construct the GMV-related structural covariant network (SCN), and the graph theory method was utilized for SCN analysis to calculate the area under the curve (AUC) of the global and local parameters within the set sparsity range, and the permutation test was used to compare the differences in the AUC of the 2 groups. Results:In the CSVD with cognitive impairment group, GMV in bilateral hippocampus, parahippocampal gyrus, fusiform gyrus, and left amygdala was significantly lower than that in the CSVD without cognitive impairment group (family wise error corrected P<0.05), and the GMV in these regions had correlation with cognitive status assessment scale ( P<0.05). At the global network level of the SCN, the area under the curve (AUC) of the characteristic path length was significantly higher in the CSVD with cognitive impairment group than in the CSVD without cognitive impairment group ( P=0.023), while the AUC of global efficiency was significantly lower in CSVD with cognitive impairment group than in the CSVD without cognitive impairment group ( P=0.005). At the local level, the nodal degree and nodal efficiency of the left putamen were significantly decreased in the CSVD with cognitive impairment group compared to the CSVD without cognitive impairment group (false discovery rate corrected P<0.05). Conclusions:GMV reduce in patients of CSVD with cognitive impairment in the bilateral hippocampus, parahippocampal gyrus, fusiform gyrus, and left amygdala. In the structural covariance network, characteristic path length increase while global efficiency reduce, and node degree and nodal efficiency of the left putamen reduce.

Objective:This study aims to discuss the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric appendicovesical fistula (AVF).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of a pediatric patient with AVF admitted to our hospital in March 2023. The patient was a 6-year and 11-month old male who was hospitalized on March 21, 2023, due to difficulty urinating accompanied by diarrhea for two weeks. Computed tomography (CT) revealed bladder stones. The preoperative diagnosis was bladder stones. Transurethral cystoscopic lithotripsy with laser was performed under general anesthesia. Two weeks postoperatively, the child presented with recurrent symptoms of frequent urination, urinary pain, and diarrhea. Urine routine examination indicated a urinary tract infection. Over a month of antibiotic treatment was ineffective, and symptoms such as pneumaturia and fecaluria emerged, with exacerbation of diarrhea, suggesting the possibility of a fistulous tract between the child's intestine and bladder. Further bladder ultrasonography with contrast showed microbubbles of contrast medium leaking from the right posterior bladder wall into the intestinal tract. Enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated a small, sharp tube-like shadow at the upper edge of the right posterior bladder, with a strip-like, significantly enhanced shadow within the lumen. The preoperative diagnosis was revised to appendicovesical fistula. During cystoscopic examination, a papillary-like protrusion was identified on the right lateral wall of the bladder, with no evident orificium fistulae or foreign body discharge noted at the protrusion site. Consequently, robot-assisted laparoscopic partial cystectomy, appendectomy, and lysis of adhesions were performed.Results:The patient was administered antibiotic for a 10-day course of anti-infection and a urinary catheter was maintained for 13 days. The patient recovered entirely and had been discharged after the removal of the urinary catheter. At an 11-month follow-up, there were no reported specific discomforts.Conclusions:Pediatric AVF is rare, and bladder contrast-enhanced ultrasonography and MRI are preferred for initial diagnostic evaluation. The diagnosis can be confirmed by specific clinical presentations such as intermittent pneumaturia and fecaluria, diarrhea with bladder stones. Laparoscopic surgery or robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery could be a feasible treatment option.

Sepsis poses a health challenge globally owing to markedly high rates of morbidity and mortality. Despite employing bundle therapy over two decades, approaches including transient organ supportive therapy and clinical trials focusing on signaling pathways have failed in effectively reversing multiple organ failure in patients with sepsis. Prompt and appropriate perioperative management for surgical patients with concurrent sepsis is urgent. Consequently, innovative therapies focusing on remedying organ injuries are necessitated. Cell therapy has emerged as a promising therapeutic avenue for repairing local damage to vital organs and restoring homeostasis during perioperative treatment for sepsis. Given the pivotal role of immune cell responses in the pathogenesis of sepsis, stem cell-based interventions that primarily modulate immune responses by interacting with multiple immune cells have progressed into clinical trials. The strides made in single-cell sequencing and gene-editing technologies have advanced the understanding of disease-specific immune responses in sepsis. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-immune cell therapy offers an intriguing option for the treatment of sepsis. This review provides a concise overview of immune cell therapy, its current status, and the strides made in the context of sepsis research, discussing potential strategies for the management of patients with sepsis during perioperative stages.

Objective:To analyze the effects of low-dose methimazole treatment on thyroid volume and calcitonin levels in patients with hyperthyroidism.Methods:A total of 100 hyperthyroidism patients who were treated at the Mianyang Central Hospital from January to June 2019 were selected and randomly divided into a control group (50 cases) and an observation group (50 cases) using a random number table method. The control group was treated with once a day and 30 mg/dose of methimazole, while the observation group was treated with twice a day and 10 mg/dose of methimazole. Thyroid volume, and thyroid function [Thyroid growth hormone (TSH), free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), and thyroid stimulating hormone receptor antibody (TRAb)] before and after treatment in two groups of patients, the changes in serum levels of calcitonin (CT), visfatin, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were compared. The clinical efficacy of two groups were also compared.Results:The total clinical effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05). After treatment, the thyroid volume in the observation group was significantly smaller than that in the control group, and the CT level was significantly lower than that in the control group (all P<0.05). After treatment, the TSH level in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group, while the levels of FT3, FT4, and TRAb were significantly lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of Visfatin, TNF-α, and IL-6 in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Low dose methimazole can improve thyroid function, reduce thyroid volume, lower body CT and inflammation levels in patients with hyperthyroidism, and has a better therapeutic effect.
