Objective·To establish a multifactorial discriminative model for predicting the degree of infiltration in patients with non-small cell lung adenocarcinoma based on clinically accessible laboratory indicators,such as tumor markers,coagulation function indicators,routine blood count indicators,and biochemical indicators.Methods·A retrospective study was conducted on 202 patients with lung adenocarcinoma admitted to Shanghai Chest Hospital in 2022.Multifactorial Logistic regression analysis was applied to screen independent factors that influenced the predictive infiltration degree of lung adenocarcinoma and to establish a regression model.In addition,machine learning was used to construct a discriminative model,and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC)was used to evaluate the discriminative ability of the model to discriminate the degree of infiltration in lung adenocarcinoma patients.Results·A total of 202 patients with lung adenocarcinoma were included in the study,and divided into pre-invasive lesion group(n=59)and invasive lesion group(n=143).Multifactorial Logistic regression analysis revealed that urea,percentage of basophilic granulocytes,and albumin were independent factors for predicting the degree of infiltration of lung adenocarcinoma(all P<0.05).The predictive model expression was P = eX/(1 + eX),where X =(0.534×urea)+(1.527×percentage of basophilic granulocytes)-(1.916×albumin)+ 6.373.Machine learning results showed that the model performed best when urea,fibrinogen,albumin,percentage of basophilic granulocytes,prealbumin and carcino embryonic antigen(CEA)were included.After comparing the performance of 8 machine learning algorithms(based on ridge regression,least absolute shrinkage and selection operator,neural network,random forest,k-nearest neighbors,support vector machine,decision tree,and adaptive boosting algorithms)using the DeLong test,the ridge regression algorithm with the highest AUC was selected.The AUC of the predictive model was calculated to be 0.744(95%CI 0.656-0.832),with a sensitivity of 70.8%and a specificity of 70.2%.Conclusion·A comprehensive differentiation model constructed by urea,fibrinogen,albumin,percentage of basophilic granulocytes,prealbumin and CEA can effectively predict the infiltration degree of the enrolled lung adenocarcinoma patients,holding the potential to provide more precise guidance for the clinical grading and adjunctive treatment of lung adenocarcinoma.

Objective:To summarize and analyze the diagnostic and therapeutic characteristics of asymptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism (aPHPT).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 103 patients with aPHPT admitted to the Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2012 to September 2023. The clinical characteristics, treatment modes, and prognoses of the patients were analyzed. GraphPad Prism 8.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Results:Among the 103 cases, there were 37 males and 66 females, aged from 25 to 78 years, with an average age of (53.81±11.34) years. Ninety-eight cases (95.15%) visited due to abnormal findings during physical examination and 5 cases (4.85%) due to hypertension, diabetes or other diseases. All patients underwent minimally invasive parathyroidectomy with small incision, with 96 cases (93.20%) pathologically diagnosed as adenomas and 7 cases as hyperplasia (6.80%). Postoperative mean serum calcium, parathyroid hormone (PTH) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels were respectively significantly lower than preoperative levels, while postoperative serum phosphorus level was significantly higher than preoperative level ( P<0.05). The mean lesion volume was (3.32±6.72)cm 3 (range 0.05-49.50 cm 3). Patients with different lesion volumes had significant differences in preoperative serum calcium, PTH and ALP levels. Lesion volume was positively correlated to preoperative serum calcium(ρ=0.36, P<0.01), PTH(ρ=0.50, P<0.01) and ALP(ρ=0.39, P<0.01). Among 103 patients, 94 cases were followed up (91.26%), 9 cases were lost (8.74%), and the mean follow-up period was (60.15±29.23) months. The followed-up patients were alive and had no recurrence of lesions or complications, and their blood calcium levels were normal. Conclusion:aPHPT can be preliminarily diagnosed through blood biochemistry and imaging examination, and minimally invasive surgery can offer good prognosis without serious complications.

Objective To observe the interventional effects of complex probiotic powder on blood bio-chemical indices and vaginal flora in pregnant women with high risk of gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM). Methods One hundred and ten pregnant women with high risk of GDM recruited from the outpatient clinics of the obstetric department and nutrition department in this hospital were randomly divided into the probiotic intervention group (n=55) and the placebo control group (n=55).The intervention group was given 1 bag of complex probiotic powder per day,and the control group was given 1 bag of placebo powder.The colors,shapes,sizes and tastes of powders in the two groups remained the consistency.The intervention duration in this trial was 23 weeks.The questionnaire survey were conducted at baseline and at the intervention endpoint,and the blood biochemical indexes detections were performed at baseline,after 24-28 weeks of gestation,and after 34-38 weeks of gestation,respectively.In addition,the differences in the composition of the vaginal flora structure between the two groups of high risk pregnant women with GDM were detected at the intervention endpoint.Results A total of 97 cases were eventually included in the statistical analysis.Among them,there were 50 cases in the probiotic intervention group and 47 cases in the placebo control group.At the end of the 23 week intervention,there were no statistically significant differences in fasting blood glucose,red blood cells,hemoglobin,leukocytes,ferritin,total protein,albumin,glutamic transaminase,glutamic oxalate transam-inase and total bilirubin between the probiotic intervention group and placebo control group (P>0.05).In terms of vaginal flora,there was a significant difference in some indicators of α diversity between the probiotic group and placebo control group (P<0.05),and there was no significant difference in β diversity between the two groups (P>0.05).At the level of vaginal flora phyla,there were significant differences in the Firmicutes,Actinobacteria,Desulfobacterota,Deferribacterota,and δ-Myxococcota between the two groups (P<0.05).At the level of vaginal flora genera,the relative abundance of Lactobacillus spp.in the probiotic intervention group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion Complex probiotic pow-der supplementation may have a limited role in improving blood glucose and other related biochemical indica-tors in high-risk pregnant women with GDM.But it has a certain role in regulating the vaginal micro ecological balance in pregnant women with high risk of GDM.

Ferroptosis is a kind of programmed cell death, involves multi-molecular and multi-signaling pathways, and the core processes is iron overload and lipid peroxidation. It affects cancer, neurological disease, cardiovascular disease, digestive system disease, and many other diseases. While, ischemia-reperfusion injury is an extremely complex pathological process, including ischemia-reperfusion injury of the heart, brain, liver and kidney, etc., which often occurs in shock, organ surgery and organ transplantation, seriously affecting human health, and there is no effective radical treatment. However, ferroptosis is closely related to ischemia-reperfusion injury so that it is possible to find the prevention and treatment measures of ischemia-reperfusion injury by exploring the internal relationship between them. Therefore, the author tries to summarize the signaling pathways of ferroptosis, and explores the relationship between ferroptosis and ischemia-reperfusion injury of heart, brain, liver and kidney by moderating the ferroptosis targets properly to find the effective ways to treat cancer, improve inflammation and relieve other diseases.

Objective To investigate the level of benefit finding and positive psychological capital of stroke patients and their spouses,and to analyse the dyadic interaction between benefit finding and positive psychological capital of patients and their spouses.Methods From March to August 2023,235 stroke patients and their spouses were conveniently selected from the neurology wards of 3 tertiary hospitals in Henan Province,and were surveyed using a general information questionnaire,the positive psychological capital questionnaire,revised version of benefit finding scale,and caregiver benefit finding scale.Results The positive psychological capital scores of stroke patients and their spouses were(4.29±0.75)and(4.56±0.71);benefit finding scores of the dyads were(2.85±0.69)and(3.64±0.68).The results of actor-partner interdependence model showed that positive psychological capital of stroke patients and their spouses positively predicted their benefit finding;positive psychological capital of patients positively predicted benefit finding of spouses,and positive psychological capital of spouses positively predicted benefit finding of patients(all P＜0.05).In particular,spousal self-efficacy and resilience positively predicted their benefit finding;their optimism positively predicted the patient's benefit finding;their hopefulness negatively predicted the patient's benefit finding(all P＜0.05).Conclusion There was a dyadic interaction between benefit finding and positive psychological capital for stroke patients and their spouses.The role of spouses on patients'positive psychological capital should not be overlooked,and nurses should develop positive psychological capital intervention strategies centered on couples of stroke patients to enhance positive couple experiences.

BACKGROUND: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a prevalent chronic joint disease caused by various factors. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) therapy is an increasingly promising therapeutic option for osteoarthritis. However, the chronic inflammation of knee joint can severely impede the therapeutic effects of transplanted cells. Gelatin microspheres (GMs) are degradable biomaterial that have various porosities for cell adhesion and cell–cell interaction. Excellent elasticity and deformability of GMs make it an excellent injectable vehicle for cell delivery. METHODS: We created Wharton’s jelly derived mesenchymal stem cells (WJMSCs)-GMs complexes and assessed the effects of GMs on cell activity, proliferation and chondrogenesis. Then, WJMSCs loaded in GMs were transplanted in the joint of osteoarthritis mice. After four weeks, joint tissue was collected for histological analysis. Overexpressing-luciferase WJMSCs were performed to explore cell retention in mice. RESULTS: In vitro experiments demonstrated that WJMSCs loaded with GMs maintained cell viability and proliferative potential. Moreover, GMs enhanced the chondrogenesis differentiation of WJMSCs while alleviated cell hypertrophy. In KOA mice model, transplantation of WJMSCs-GMs complexes promoted cartilage regeneration and cartilage matrix formation, contributing to the treatment of KOA. Compared with other groups, in WJMSCs+GMs group, there were fewer cartilage defects and with a more integrated tibia structure. Tracking results of stable-overexpressing luciferase WJMSCs demonstrated that GMs significantly extended the retention time of WJMSCs in knee joint cavity. CONCLUSION Our results indicated that GMs facilitate WJMSCs mediated knee osteoarthritis healing in mice by promoting cartilage regeneration and prolonging cell retention. It might potentially provide an optimal strategy for the biomaterial-stem cell based therapy for knee osteoarthritis.

Autoimmune diseases（ADs） are diseases in which the body’s immune tolerance is impaired， causing damage to its tissues. The pro-inflammatory helper T cell 17 （Th17） and anti-inflammatory regulatory T cell （Treg） are functionally antagonistic to each other， and the immune imbalance between them and the imbalance of related inflammatory factors are closely related to the occurrence of a variety of ADs. Plenty of evidence has shown that gut microbiota can regulate Th17/Treg differentiation， rebuild immune tolerance and delay the ADs process through regulating cytokine production， transcription factor expression and energy metabolism. This paper reviews the intervention effects of traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） monomers on the common ADs by regulating Th17/Treg differentiation balance based on intestinal flora： ulcerative colitis，rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes mellitus type 1. It is found that its mechanism of action may be to restore the balance of pro-inflammatory factors and anti-inflammatory factors to alleviate intestinal mucosal barrier damage， reduce synovial angiogenesis and improve pancreatic β cell destruction， which provides some ideas for the prevention and treatment of ADs with integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine.

Objective:To learn about the iodine nutritional status of children aged 8 to 10 years in Xiamen City after the reform of salt industry system, and to provide scientific basis for reasonable prevention and control of iodine deficiency disorders.Methods:From 2017 to 2019, 6 districts were selected each year in Xiamen City 5 sampling districts were divided according to the oriation of east, west, south, north and center in each district. One town (street, hereinafter refered as to town) was selected from each sampling district. One primary school was selected from each town. For each primary school, at least 40 non-boarding children aged 8 to 10 years (age balanced, half male and half female) were selected. Edible salt samples in the households and random urine samples of children aged 8 to 10 years were collected, and salt iodine and urinary iodine contents were measured, while thyroid volume was examined by B-ultrasound.Results:From 2017 to 2019, the coverage rate of iodized salt in Xiamen City was 97.34% (1 206/1 239), 96.89% (1 214/1 253), and 93.33% (1 175/1 259), respectively; the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt was 96.13% (1 191/1 239), 95.61% (1 198/1 253), and 91.58% (1 153/1 259), respectively; the median urinary iodine was 182.90, 182.81, 164.00 μg/L, respectively. The prevalence of goiter of boys and girls was 1.01% (19/1 889) and 2.26% (42/1 862), respectively.Conclusions:After the reform of salt industry system, the iodine nutritional status of children aged 8 to 10 years is generally at an appropriate level in Xiamen City. However, the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt is reduced, which increases the risk of iodine deficiency for residents. Therefore, we should strengthen the propaganda of scientific iodine supplement, maintain a high consumption rate of qualified iodized salt, and prevent the harm of iodine deficiency.

Objective:To develop a single-tube one-step multiplex nested real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay for the simultaneous detection of 2019-nCoV, influenza A virus, influenza B virus and internal-control with human-derived gene.Methods:This study included 30 positive specimens for 2019-nCoV nucleic acid detection and 336 screening specimens collected from the arrivals at Guangzhou Baiyun Airport between February 2020 and February 2022. Sixty-four positive specimens of other respiratory pathogens were also collected from the arrivals at Guangzhou Baiyun Airport during the three-year period before the occurrence of COVID19 outbreak in 2020, and 7 positive viral strains of respiratory pathogens were provided by collaborative laboratories. In order to establish a set of multiplex nested real-time RT-PCR assay, a group of primers and probe combinations for a multiplex nested real-time RT-PCR was designed and screened according to a selection of nucleotide conserved regions of the ORF and N genes of 2019-nCoV and the M gene of influenza A and B viruses, while nested amplification primers and probe for the internal-control with human-derived gene were introduced. Then the prepared pseudovirus-positive quality control and sample discs were applied to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity. Clinical specimens were performed to validate the applicability of the method.Results:The results show that the established one-step multiplex nested real-time RT-PCR assay can specifically detect 2019-nCoV and influenza A and B viruses, with the limit-of-detection of about 125 copies/ml for 2019-nCoV and about 250 copies/ml for influenza A and B viruses. Totally 101 positive samples of various respiratory pathogens were detected, showing that the detection sensitivities of 2019-nCoV and influenza A and B viruses were 96.67%, 92.86% and 96.15%, respectively, with the specificity of 100%. No false-positive detection was found in the applied detection of more than 300 clinical samples.Conclusions:A one-step multiplex nested real-time RT-PCR assay for 2019-nCoV, influenza A and B viruses and human-derived gene internal-control was developed. The assay has good sensitivity and specificity and can be used for rapid screening of 2019-nCoV and influenza A and B viruses in high-volume samples.
