    Abstract What is already known about this topic?: The global burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is on the rise.
    What is added by this report?: In 2019, 5.58 million individuals in China were affected by CKD related to hypertension, leading to 70,260 fatalities and 1.69 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). The most affected groups were men, older individuals, and residents of western China. Over the period from 2010-2019, the age-standardized prevalence rate (ASPR) remained constant, and the age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) and age-standardized DALY rate (ASDR) showed a decreasing trend. However, there was an increase in the number of cases, deaths, and DALYs associated with this condition.
    What are the implications for public health practice?: Hypertension significantly contributes to the burden of CKD; therefore, raising awareness and implementing early screening measures are essential.

    Abstract Gastric cancer (GC) is the third leading cause of cancer death worldwide. In the field of medicine, machine learning is widely used in genetic data mining and the construction of diagnostic models. This study proposed an intelligent model DERFS-XGBoost for rapid and accurate diagnosis of GC based on gene expression data. Firstly, the data of GC were collected and preprocessed. Secondly, ANOVA, t-test and fold chang (FC) were used to select genes that had significant differentially expressed genes (DEGs), and random forest (RF) was used to calculate their importance, and then sequential forward selection (SFS) was used to obtain the optimal feature subset. Finally, XGBoost was used for classification after synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE) balanced between tumor and normal samples. In order to objectively evaluate the results, the 10-fold cross-validation and 10 repeated experiments were used in the experiment, and the average value of the evaluation indexes was used to evaluate the classification effect. Based on the experiment, DERFS-XGBoost model accuracy rate was 97.6%, precision was 100%, the recall rate was 97.3%,

    Abstract Introduction: In accordance with social development, the proportion of advanced maternal age (AMA) increased and the cost of non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) decreased.
    Objective: We aimed to investigate the benefits and cost-effectiveness of NIPT as primary or contingent strategies limited to the high-risk population of trisomy 21 (T21).
    Methods: Referring to parameters from publications or on-site verification, a theoretical model involving 1,000,000 single pregnancies was established. We presented five screening scenarios, primary NIPT (Strategy 1), contingent NIPT after traditional triple serum screening higher than 1/300 or 1/1,000 (Strategy 2-1 or 2-2), and age-based Strategy 3. Strategy 3 was stratified, with the following options: (1) for advanced maternal age (AMA) of 40 years and more, diagnostic testing was offered, (2) for AMA of 35-39 years, NIPT was introduced, (3) if younger than 35 years of age, contingent NIPT with risk higher than 1:300 (Strategy 3-1) or 1:1,000 (Strategy 3-2) will be offered. The primary outcome was an incremental cost analysis on the baseline and alternative assumptions, taking aging society, NIPT price, and compliance into consideration. The strategy was "appropriate" when the incremental cost was less than the cost of raising one T21 child (0.215 million US$). The second outcome included total cost, cost-effect, cost-benefit analysis, and screening efficiency.
    Results: Strategy1 was costly, while detecting most T21. Strategy 2-1 reduced unnecessary prenatal diagnosis (PD) and was optimal in total cost, cost-effect, and cost-benefit analysis, nevertheless, T21 detection was the least. Strategy 3 induced most of the PD procedures. Then, setting Strategy2-1 as a baseline for incremental cost analysis, Strategy 3-1 was appropriate. In sensitivity analysis, when the NIPT price was lower than 47 US$, Strategy 1 was the most appropriate. In a society with more than 20% of people older than 35 years of age, the incremental cost of Strategy 3-2 was proper.
    Conclusion: Combined strategies involving NIPT reduced unnecessary diagnostic tests. The AMA proportion and NIPT price played critical roles in the strategic decision. The age-based strategy was optimal in incremental cost analysis and was presented to be prominent as AMA proportion and NIPT acceptance increased. The primary NIPT was the most effective, but only at a certain price, it became the most cost-effective strategy.

    Abstract Objective: To analyze the dynamic changes of thyroid hormone and cortisol hormone (COR) and their relationship with prognosis in patients with severe craniocerebral injury.
    Methods: A retrospective analysis of 48 patients with severe craniocerebral injury who were admitted to our hospital from January 2014 to January 2017 was performed. According to the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) after 3 months of treatment, the patients were divided into a favorable prognosis group (GOS score = 4-5) and a poor prognosis group (GOS score = 1-3). Clinical data such as ICU hospitalization time and mechanical ventilation time between the two groups were collected and compared. The GCS score was evaluated and recorded at 24 h and 7 d after injury, respectively. The fasting venous blood was collected from patients at 24 h and 7 d after injury, and the levels of thyrotropin (TSH), total triiodothyronine (TT3), total thyroxine (TT4), free triiodothyronine (FT3), and free thyroxine (FT4) were detected by the time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay, while the cortisol (COR) levels were examined by the chemiluminescence assays. The prognostic risk factors of patients with severe craniocerebral injury were analyzed using logistic regression analysis. A nomogram prediction model was constructed based on the results of the logistic analysis. The value of each factor in predicting the prognosis of patients with severe craniocerebral injury was analyzed using the ROC curve.
    Results: Significant differences existed between the poor prognosis group and the favorable prognosis group in age, whether complicated with a cerebral hernia, intracranial hematoma volume, admission time, ICU hospitalization time, GCS score, and mechanical ventilation time (
    Conclusion: Abnormal levels of thyroid hormone and cortisol hormone were found in patients with severe craniocerebral injury. Age, combined brain herniation, ICU length of stay, FT3, FT4, TT4, COR, and GCS scores were all prognostic factors in patients with severe traumatic brain injury. These factors have high value in judging the death and survival of patients with severe craniocerebral injury.

    Abstract Objective: To explore dermatomyositis signature genes as potential biomarkers of hepatocellular carcinoma and their associated molecular regulatory mechanisms.
    Methods: Based on the mRNA-Seq data of dermatomyositis and hepatocellular carcinoma in public databases, five dermatomyositis signature genes were screened by LASSO regression analysis and support vector machine (SVM) algorithm, and their biological functions in dermatomyositis with hepatocellular carcinoma were investigated, and a nomogram risk prediction model for hepatocellular carcinoma was constructed and its predictive efficiency was initially evaluated. The immune profile in hepatocellular carcinoma was examined based on the CIBERSORT and ssGSEA algorithms, and the correlation between five dermatomyositis signature genes and tumor immune cell infiltration and immune checkpoints in hepatocellular carcinoma was investigated.
    Results: The expression levels of five dermatomyositis signature genes were significantly altered in hepatocellular carcinoma and showed good diagnostic efficacy for hepatocellular carcinoma, suggesting that they may be potential predictive targets for hepatocellular carcinoma, and the risk prediction model based on five dermatomyositis signature genes showed good risk prediction efficacy for hepatocellular carcinoma and has good potential for clinical application. In addition, we also found that the upregulation of SPP1 expression may activate the PI3K/ART signaling pathway through integrin-mediated activation, which in turn regulates the development and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma.
    Conclusion: LY6E, IFITM1, GADD45A, MT1M, and SPP1 are potential predictive targets for new-onset hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with dermatomyositis, and the upregulation of SPP1 expression may activate the PI3K/ART signaling pathway through the mediation of integrins to promote the development and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate the effect of COVID-19 infection on pancreatic cancer.
    Methods: Based on the mRNA-Seq data of COVID-19 patients and pancreatic cancer (PC) patients in the GEO database, we used a support vector machine (SVM), LASSO-Cox regression analysis and random forest tree (RF) to screen the common signature genes of the two diseases and further investigate their effects and functional characteristics on PC, respectively. The above procedures were performed in R software.
    Results: The proteins COL10A1/FAP/FN1 were found to be common signature genes for COVID-19 and PC, were significantly up-regulated in both diseases and showed good diagnostic efficacy for PC. The risk model based on COL10A1/FAP/FN1 showed good PC risk prediction ability and clinical application potential. Tumor typing based on COL10A1/FAP/FN1 expression levels effectively classified PC into different subtypes and showed significant differences between the two subtypes in terms of survival prognosis, immune levels, immune checkpoint expression levels, mutation status of common tumor mutation sites, and drug sensitivity analysis. While pathway analysis also revealed that FN1 as an extracellular matrix component may be involved in the biological process of PC by regulating the PI3K-AKT signaling axis.
    Conclusion: The upregulated expression of COL10A1/FAP/FN1, the characteristic genes of COVID-19, are potential diagnostic targets for PC, and the upregulated expression of FN1 may promote the progression of PC by activating the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway. The COL10A1/FAP/FN1-based typing provides a new typing approach for PC, and also provides a good reference and idea for the refinement of PC treatment and subsequent clinical research.

    Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a malignant tumor that affects the liver and poses a significant threat to human health. Further investigation is necessary to fully understand the role of SIRT1, a protein linked to tumorigenesis, in HCC development. To investigate the effect of SIRT1 on HCC and elucidate the underlying mechanism. Eight pairs of HCC and paracancerous normal tissue specimens were collected. The levels of SIRT1 and GSDME in tissue samples were assessed using immunohistochemistry and western blotting. SIRT1 levels were determined in HCC (Huh7, HepG2, SNU-423, SNU-398, and HCCLM3) and L-02 cells using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blotting. SNU-423 and HCCLM3 cells were transfected with si-SIRT1 and/or si-GSDME to knock down SIRT1 or GSDME expression. RT-qPCR and western blotting were performed to measure the expression of SIRT1, pro-casp-3, cl-casp-3, GSDME, GSDME-N, PGC-1α, Bax, and cytochrome c (Cyto C). Cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis were assessed using the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), wound healing assay, Transwell invasion assay, and flow cytometry, respectively. The release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was evaluated using an LDH kit. SIRT1 was upregulated in HCC tissues and cells, and a negative correlation was observed between SIRT1 and GSDME-N. SIRT1 silencing suppressed the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HCC cells while also promoting apoptosis and inducing mitochondrial damage. Additionally, the silencing of SIRT1 resulted in the formation of large bubbles on the plasma membrane of HCC cells, leading to cellular swelling and aggravated GSDME-dependent pyroptosis, resulting in an increase in LDH release. Inhibition of GSDME reduced SIRT1 silencing-induced cell swelling, decreased LDH release rate, and promoted apoptosis. SIRT1 silencing promotes GSDME-dependent pyroptosis in HCC cells by damaging mitochondria.

    Abstract Nowadays, boron nitride (BN) has attracted a great deal of attention due to its physical and chemical properties, such as high-temperature resistance, oxidation resistance, heat conduction, electrical insulation, and neutron absorption. The unique lamellar, reticular, and tubular morphologies and physicochemical properties of BN make it attractive in the fields of adsorption, catalysis, hydrogen storage, thermal conduction, insulation, dielectric substrate of electronic devices, radiation protection, polymer composites, medicine, etc. Based on this, we propose a novel method to produce boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) by a two-step method. The structure and morphology of the prepared BNNSs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, XRD, FTIR, etc. The results showed that the prepared BNNSs had high crystallinity and the stripping efficiency of h-BN as well as the performance and yield of BNNSs had been improved, and the cost and environmental pollution of BNNS preparation had been reduced accordingly.
