Purpose: To predict Gleason grade group (GG) upgrade in biopsy Gleason grade group 1 (GG1) prostate cancer (CaP) patients using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS).

Materials And Methods: Preoperative serum samples of patients with biopsy GG1 and subsequent radical prostatectomy were analyzed using SERS. The role of clinical variables and distinctive SERS spectra in the prediction of GG upgrade were evaluated. Principal component analysis and linear discriminant analysis (PCA-LDA) were used to manage spectral data and develop diagnostic algorithms.

Results: A total of 342 preoperative serum SERS spectra from 114 patients were obtained. SERS detected a higher level of circulating free nucleic acid bases and a lower level of lipids in patients with GG upgrade to GG3 and higher, presenting as SERS spectral peaks of 728 cm and 1,655 cm, respectively. Both spectral peaks were independent predictors of GG upgrade and their addition to clinical predictors of PSA and positive core percent significantly improved predictive power of the logistic regression model with area under curve improved from 0.65 to 0.80 (P = 0.0045). Meanwhile, PCA-LDA diagnostic model based on serum SERS spectra showed a high accuracy of 91.2% in predicted groups and remained stable with a sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 65%, 97.3%, 86.0%, respectively when validated by leave-one-out cross-validation method.

Conclusions: By analyzing preoperative serum samples, SERS combined with PCA-LDA model could be a promising tool for prediction of Gleason GG upgrade in biopsy GG1 CaP and assist in treatment decision-making in clinical practice.

Risk factors for long-term severe tricuspid regurgitation following mitral valve replacement: a retrospective study.

BMC Cardiovasc Disord

January 2025

Department of Cardiology, Xuzhou Central Hospital, No.199 Jiefang South Road, Quanshan District, Xuzhou, 221009, People's Republic of China.

Background: The aim of this study is to identify factors associated with the development of long-term severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) following mitral valve replacement (MVR).

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted involving 308 patients who underwent single-valve MVR at Xuzhou Central Hospital between April 2017 and December 2022. Preoperative color Doppler ultrasound indicated that all patients had either no or mild to moderate tricuspid regurgitation.

Objectives: To analyze the efficacy and influencing factors of percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography and biliary drainage (PTCD) in patients with malignant obstructive jaundice (MOJ).

Methods: The study included 151 MOJ patients admitted from January 2021 to January 2024. Seventy patients in the control group received endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), while 81 patients in the research group underwent PTCD.

Background: Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is the third most common endocrine disease, affecting predominantly postmenopausal women. About 85% of cases are caused by a solitary parathyroid adenoma which leads to a hypersecretion of the parathyroid hormone (PTH) and consequently to elevated serum calcium concentrations. Parathyroidectomy is the only curative treatment.

Objective: We aimed to address the predictive value of urinary kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2) and soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) for contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in elderly patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Methods: One hundred thirty-six patients who underwent PCI were separated into the CI-AKI group (n = 36) and the non-CI-AKI group (n = 100) based on CI-AKI occurrence after operation, and their general data were collected. Blood and urine specimens were collected before operation (at the time of admission) and 6 h, 12 h, 24 h and 48 h after the operation and preserved for future use.
