Acute-on-chronic liver failure(ACLF)is a group of clinical syndromes related to severe acute liver function damage and multiple organ failure caused by various acute inducing factors on the basis of chronic liver disease.Due to its serious condition,rapid progression and high mortality,it has attracted more and more attention.Recent studies have shown that the pathogenesis of ACLF mainly includes direct injury and immune injury.As the main immune cells in the liver,the immunoregulatory role of liver macrophages in ACLF has been increasingly recognized.Liver macrophages have excellent phenotype conversion function and plasticity characteristics under the influence of epigenetic reprogramming or local microenvironment.This adaptive expression ability can use key mediators to promote the early conversion of anti-inflammatory phenotype to alleviate liver injury.A large number of studies have shown that liver macrophages have a certain potential in reversing the process of ACLF.Therefore,from the perspective of the plasticity characteristics of liver macrophages,this paper expounds the role of liver macrophages in ACLF and the research on the intervention of ACLF disease process,and summarizes its potential significance in the treatment of ACLF.

Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC),commonly known as primary liver cancer,is a major cause of malignant tumors and cancer-related deaths in China,accounting for approximately 85％of all cancer cases in the country.Several guidelines have been used to diagnose and treat liver cancer.However,these guidelines provide a broad definition for classifying advanced liver cancer,with an emphasis on a singular approach,without considering treatment options for individual patients.Therefore,it is necessary to establish a comprehensive and practical expert consensus,specifically for China,to enhance the diagnosis and treatment of HCC using the Delphi method.The classification criteria were refined for Chinese patients with HCC,and the corresponding optimal treatment regimen recommendations were developed.These recommendations took into account various factors,including tumor characteristics,vascular tumor thrombus grade,distant metastasis,liver function status,portal hypertension,and the hepatitis B virus replication status of patients with primary HCC,along with treatment prognosis.The findings and rec-ommendations provide detailed,scientific,and reasonable individualized diagnosis and treatment strategies for clinicians.

Objective : To investigate the effect of high concentration of Caerulomycin A (Cae A) on HK2 in renal tubular epithelial cells and to explore the role of cytoplasmic nucleotide⁃binding oligomerization domain⁃like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) in this process. Methods : The effect of different concentrations of Cae A on the viability of HK2 cells was determined by MTT; the expression of kidney injury molecule (KIM⁃1) and NLRP3 was detected by real⁃time quantitative PCR , Western blot and immunofluorescence , while the effect of Cae A on the mRNA expression of IL⁃1β , IL⁃18 , IL⁃33 , MCP⁃1 , TNF⁃α was also measured by real⁃time quantitative PCR. HK2 cells were divided into control group , high concentration of Cae A group and high concentration of Cae A plus NLRP3 inhibitor CY⁃09 group , and the expression of KIM⁃1 and NLRP3 protein was detected by Western blot. Results : The results of MTT showed that high concentration of Cae A could inhibit HK2 cell viability. Real⁃time quantitative PCR , Western blot and immunofluorescence assays showed that high concentration of Cae A upregulated the expression of KIM⁃1 and NLRP3 , as well as the mRNA levels of IL⁃1β , IL⁃18 , IL⁃33 , MCP⁃1 , TNF⁃α , while CY⁃09 could down⁃regulate the expression of NLRP3 and KIM⁃1. Conclusion High concentration of Cae A significantly inhibited the viability of HK2 cells and induced damage and inflammatory response to HK2 with some nephrotoxicity that might be achieved via NLRP3 pathway.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between serum cystatin C (CysC) and clinical and pathological features of IgA nephropathy.Methods:Four hundred and twenty-one cases of primary IgA nephropathy diagnosed by renal biopsy in Longhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2010 to January 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the serum CysC level at the time of renal biopsy, the patients were divided into high serum CysC group and normal serum CysC group, and the clinical data and pathological indices of the patients were compared. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and serum CysC. The clinicopathological factors related to the serum CysC level were analyzed by multiple linear regression. The area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the ability of serum CysC level to predict related pathological injury.Results:The age, prevalence of hypertension, serum creatinine, urea and uric acid levels of high serum CysC group were significantly higher than those of normal serum CysC group, while the eGFR level was significantly lower than that of normal serum CysC group ( P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that serum CysC was negatively correlated with eGFR ( r=-0.744, P<0.001). In terms of pathological injury, the degree of renal tubular atrophy and renal interstitial fibrosis (T) and renal arteriole wall thickening (A) in high serum CysC group were more serious than those in normal serum CysC group ( P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the prevalence of hypertension, serum creatinine, urea, uric acid, T and A were correlated with serum CysC levels (standard regression coefficient β=0.048, 0.299, 0.260, 0.134, 0.195, 0.068, respectively, P<0.05). After adding serum CysC on the basis of clinical features, the prediction efficiency of renal tubular atrophy and renal interstitial fibrosis was higher (AUC were 0.829 [95% CI 0.787-0.870], 0.847 [95% CI 0.808-0.886], P<0.05). Conclusions:Patients with older age, hypertension, poor renal function and severe pathological damage are more likely to have elevated serum CysC levels. Serum CysC was related to the prevalence of hypertension, creatinine, urea, uric acid, T and A. Combined with serum CysC level can effectively improve the ability prediction of T.

Objective:To study and analyze the application effect of risk prevention and quality control nursing in peritoneal dialysis patients with renal failure.Methods:From January to December 2019, a total of 86 patients with renal failure in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical College were recruited as the research objects by convenient sampling method. All the objects were divided into the observation group (43 cases) and the control group (43 cases) by the random number table method. The control group was treated with traditional risk prevention and control nursing, while the observation group was treated with risk prevention and control quality control nursing. The changes of albumin, hemoglobin, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen were compared between the two groups before and after intervention, and the incidence of complications such as peritonitis, catheter outlet infection, water retention and hypokalemia were compared between the two groups.Results:After the intervention, the albumin and hemoglobin levels of the observation group were higher than those of the control group, and the levels of creatinine and urea nitrogen in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01) . During the intervention, the complication rate of the observation group was 23.26% (10/43) , which was lower than 46.51% (20/43) of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Risk prevention and quality control nursing in peritoneal dialysis patients with renal failure can improve renal function and reduce the occurrence of complications.

Parkinson′s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease. Its main pathological feature is the progressive loss of substantia nigra and other catecholaminergic neurons containing neuromelanin (NM). Therefore, NM may be closely related to the pathogenesis of PD. The content of NM can be detected by NM magnetic sensitive sequence imaging, and then it can be applied to the study of the neuropathological mechanism of NM and PD. This paper focuses on the physiological significance of NM, its role in the pathogenesis of PD and the prospect of NM as a biomarker to assist diagnosis and disease monitoring of PD.

Objective To explore the effect of hospital-community integration follow-up pattern on medication compliance in patients with mental disorder. Methods From January 2016 to January 2017, 96 patients were treated effectively with systemic therapy in psychosomatic department and TCM WM department, and 96 discharged mental disorder patients were treated with brief psychiatric rating scale (BPRS) ≤ 28. The patients were randomly divided into 48 cases in the intervention group and the control group; both groups were standardized medication; control group received an outpatient referral, intervention group combined with medical doctors in our hospital and community doctors for one year follow-up intervention. Observed the condition of illness and medication compliance after six months and one year intervention between two groups, compared the patient recurrence rate of one year after discharge. Results BPRS score of intervention group was significantly lower than control group (P＜0. 01), the difference was statistically significant, while intervention group had higher compliance than control group (P＜0. 01), and the difference was statistically significant. Recurrence rate (20. 83％) of intervention group was significantly lower than control group (38. 78％) ( 2 = 4. 03, P＜0. 05), the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion Hospital-community integration follow-up has positive effect on stabilizing patients with mental disorder and improving compliance and decreasing relapse rate.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of pregnancy-associated plasmaprotein-A (PAPP-A) and GRACE risk score for death and nonfatal myocardial infarction (combined endpoint) in AMI patients.Methods All AMI patients hospitalized in our department during July 2011 to July 2015 were included consecutively in this prospective study.Plasma PAPP-A were measured at admission.GRACE risk score was acquired with the application of GRACE risk score calculator.Patients were followed up for at least 1 year for any nonfatal myocardial infarction or MACE.Kaplan Meier survival study was analysed according to PAPP-A and GRACE score risk stratification respectively.A cutoff value of 3.0 ng/ml of PAPP-A was chosen from pilot work in this cohort.Results A total of 220 patients were enrolled in the study.The death and nonfatal myocardial infarction during follow-up were significantly higher in patients with PAPP-A≥3.0 ng/ml compared to patients with PAPP-A<3.0 ng/ml (15.7% vs.6.0%, log-rank χ2=5.684, P=0.017).The area under ROC curve of PAPP-A was 0.796(95%CI 0.696-0.896, P<0.01) and the ROC curve of PAPP-A GRACE risk stratification was 0.715 (95%CI 0.567-0.863,P<0.01).Subgroup analysis showed that death and nonfatal myocardial infarction during follow-up was significantly higher in patients with PAPP-A≥3.0 ng/ml compared to patients with PAPP-A<3.0 ng/ml in intermediate and low risk group by GRACE risk stratifcation (log-rank χ2=14.63,P<0.001).Conclusions PAPP-A could predict mortality and nonfatal myocardial infarction in patients with AMI.PAPP-A combined with GRACE risk score can better predict outcome than GRACE risk score alone in intermediate and low risk patients by GRACE risk stratifcation.

Objective To evaluate the one-year clinical outcomes in patients with the vulnerable plaque sealing with drug-eluting stents for the treatment of intermediate coronary stenosis. Methods 327 patients with an-giographically intermediate lesions(diameter stenosis 50%~70%)with the vulnerable plaque which were detected by 64 slice coronary CT were prospectively enrolled. Patients were divided into medical therapy group (n = 160) and sirolimus-eluting stent group group(n=160). The incidences of one-year major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE)was evaluated(cardiac death,myocardial infarction ,revascularization). Results The MACE tended to be lower in the sirolimus-eluting stent group than medical therapy group(3.13%vs. 10%,log-rankχ2=6.62,P=0.01). The incident of cardiac death and myocardial infarction were lower in the sirolimus-eluting stent group than medical therapy group(1.25%vs. 5.63%,log-rankχ2=4.61,P=0.03). Conclusion The treatment of the siroli-mus-eluting stent can reduce MACE for the paitents with the vulnerable plaque of intermediate coronary stenosis than medical therapy only.
