Previous research has highlighted that comorbidities can mutually influence and exacerbate immune disorders. However, there is a paucity of data on the impact of DM on immunological features and treatment responses in the TB population in China.From January 2020 to June 2022, 264 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis patients (82 DM patients and 182 non-DM patients) hospitalized in our center were selected. 80 patients with TB with DM (TB-DM) and 80 patients with TB without DM (TB-NDM) were enrolled into the final analysis by propensity score matching for age, gender and involved lung field at a ratio of 1:1. The clinical characteristics, immunological features and treatment response were compared between the two groups.After propensity score matching, no differences in the general features such as age gender, involved lung field, the incidence of retreatment and WBC count were found between the two groups. Compared to TB-NDM group, the TB-DM group exhibited a higher positive rate of sputum smear and incidence of cavitary lesions. Immunological features analysis revealed that the TB-DM patients had higher levels of TNF-α [pg/ml; 8.56 (7.08–13.35) vs. 7.64 (6.38–10.14) p = 0.033] and IL-8 [pg/ml; 25.85 (11.63–58.40) vs. 17.56 (6.44–39.08) p = 0.003] but lower CD8+ T lymphocyte count [cells/mm3; 334.02 (249.35–420.71) VS 380.95 (291.73–471.25) p = 0.038]. However, there was no significant difference in serum IL-6 concentration and CD4+ T lymphocyte count between the two groups. After 2 months of anti-tuberculosis treatment, 39 (24.4%) cases had suboptimal treatment response, including 23 (28.7%) TB-DM patients and 16 (20%) TB-NDM patients. There was no difference in suboptimal response rate (SRR) was found between the two groups (p = 0.269). The multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that retreatment for TB [AOR: 5.68 (95%CI: 2.01–16.08), p = 0.001], sputum smear positivity [AOR: 8.01 (95%CI: 2.62–24.50), p = 0.001] were associated with SRR in all participants, and in TB-DM group, only sputum smear positivity [AOR: 16.47 (1.75–155.12), p = 0.014] was positive with SRR.DM is a risk factor for pulmonary cavity formation and sputum smear positivity in TB population. Additionally, TB-DM patients is characterized by enhanced cytokine responses and decreased CD8+ T lymphocytes. The retreatment for TB and sputum smear positivity were associated with the occurrence of suboptimal treatment response.","PeriodicalId":502302,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Medicine","volume":"118 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141351786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research was conducted with a focus group consisting of second-year nursing students in Osmaniye/Turkey, between January and June 2022, and the training program was implemented in five stages: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The program was evaluated with a focus group of nursing students. Focus group discussions were conducted to provide insights into students’ experiences, feedback, and perceptions of the program.A vast majority of participants (92.5%) reported feeling fully immersed in the operating room environment during the virtual reality (VR) experience. Notably, all students acknowledged the potential of HMD-Based Virtual Reality Technology to enrich their understanding of surgical hand scrubbing, wearing surgical cap and surgical mask, gowning and gloving procedures, surpassing conventional instructional models. While many participants found the experience exhilarating (85.1%), a considerable portion reported a decline in engagement after repeated exposures (88.8%). Overall, participants welcomed the integration of VR technology into education, expressing optimism about its capacity to facilitate additional instructional modules (74.4%). Moreover, they conveyed satisfaction with the opportunity to engage with the VR application, emphasizing its significant educational value (81.4%).Based on these findings, we can suggest that virtual reality technology has the potential to have an impact on nursing students’ education. The majority of students expressing a sense of presence in the operating room highlights the value of this method in education. However, the reported boredom after repeated experiences by most participants underscores the importance of diversifying the program and introducing innovative approaches to keep students engaged.","PeriodicalId":502302,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Medicine","volume":"75 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141350586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

EBV viral load was quantified by real-time PCR, T lymphocyte quantification and cytokine level analysis were performed by flow cytometry, and HLA locus genotyping was performed by PCR-SSO.The DRB1*09 allele was associated with primary infection (p: 0.0477), and carriers of the allele showed changes in EBV viral load (p: 0.0485), CD8(+) T lymphocyte counts (p: 0.0206), double-positive T lymphocyte counts (p: 0.0093), IL-4 levels (p: 0.0464) and TNF levels (p: 0.0161).

We performed two multivariate linear regression models to identify factors associated with plasma levels of 78 kDa-Glucose-Regulated Protein (GRP78; ERS marker) and Interleukin-6 (IL-6; inflammation marker) at admission.Among 63 patients analyzed, GRP78 plasma level was associated with LDV in both multivariate models (β = 22.23 [4.08;40.38]; p = 0.0179, β = 20.47 [0.74;40.20]; p = 0.0423) but not with organ failure (Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score) at admission (r = 0.03 [−0.22;0.28]; p = 0.2559).

The intervention group included ketamine plus morphine, while the control group included morphine only. The outcome measures were opioid intake and pain scores at rest and on moving/coughing.

Milan criteria has long been applied to candidate LT patients with HCC. However, the application of Milan criteria failed to precisely predict patients at risk of recurrence. As a result, we aimed to establish and validate a deep learning model comparing with Milan criteria and better guide post-LT treatment.A total of 356 HCC patients who received LT with complete follow-up data were evaluated. The entire cohort was randomly divided into training set (n = 286) and validation set (n = 70). Multi-layer-perceptron model provided by pycox library was first used to construct the recurrence prediction model. Then tabular neural network (TabNet) that combines elements of deep learning and tabular data processing techniques was utilized to compare with Milan criteria and verify the performance of the model we proposed.Patients with larger tumor size over 7 cm, poorer differentiation of tumor grade and multiple tumor numbers were first classified as high risk of recurrence. We trained a classification model with TabNet and our proposed model performed better than the Milan criteria in terms of accuracy (0.95 vs. 0.86, p < 0.05). In addition, our model showed better performance results with improved AUC, NRI and hazard ratio, proving the robustness of the model.A prognostic model had been proposed based on the use of TabNet on various parameters from HCC patients. The model performed well in post-LT recurrence prediction and the identification of high-risk subgroups.","PeriodicalId":502302,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Medicine","volume":"74 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141359643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
