Article Abstract
Background: Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) is common after sepsis and increases mortality. Lactate (Lac) can assess the prognosis of patients. Albumin (Alb) is closely associated with inflammatory response in sepsis patients. This work evaluated the predictive value of Lac/Alb for prognosis of sepsis patients.
Methods: Data of 160 sepsis patients were retrospectively collected. Lac and Alb levels were measured upon admission, at 24 hours and 48 hours later. Using 0.45 as the cutoff value for Lac/Alb, patients were rolled into high-level (HL) and low-level (LL) groups. MODS rates and mortality rates were analyzed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were utilized to evaluate the predictive value of 48-hour Lac/Alb for patient prognosis. Correlation between Lac/Alb and APACHE II and SOFA scores was assessed.
Results: The 12-month follow-up revealed 52 deaths (32.5%), and MODS occurred in 49 cases (30.6%) on the 7th day. The MODS group possessed elevated Lac and Lac/Alb and decreased Alb to the N-MODS group (P<0.05), and similar results were observed by comparison the survival and death group (P<0.05). The sensitivity, specificity, and area under the ROC curve (AUC) of Lac/Alb in predicting MODS were 81.63%, 85.59%, and 0.89, respectively, while those in predicting death were 94.23%, 88.89%, and 0.91, respectively. Lac/Alb was positively correlated with APACHE II and SOFA scores (r=0.718 and 0.808, respectively).
Conclusions: Lac/Alb was linked to MODS and mortality in sepsis patients and can be based to predict adverse outcomes.

Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a promising therapy for neurological and inflammatory disorders across multiple organ systems. However, conventional rigid interfaces fail to accommodate dynamic mechanical environments, leading to mechanical mismatches, tissue irritation, and unstable long-term interfaces. Although soft neural interfaces address these limitations, maintaining mechanical durability and stable electrical performance remains challenging.

Background And Objectives: Deucravacitinib, a first-in-class, oral, selective, allosteric tyrosine kinase 2 inhibitor, demonstrated efficacy across the primary endpoint and all key secondary endpoints in the phase 2 PAISLEY SLE trial in patients with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Here, we describe 2 phase 3 trials [POETYK SLE-1 (NCT05617677), POETYK SLE-2 (NCT05620407)] which will assess the efficacy and safety of deucravacitinib in patients with active SLE. These phase 3 trials have been designed to replicate the successful elements of the phase 2 trial, including its glucocorticoid-tapering strategy and disease activity adjudication.

Unlabelled: The distribution of (Euphrasen, 1788) spans a pronounced latitudinal-environmental gradient from the subtropical to the subpolar zones. The species is reported to have multiple stocks along coastal China, exhibiting different spawning behaviors and habitat preferences. Such ecological variations might imply potential genetic divergence and local adaptation.

Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological features, diagnostic value, risk model and prognostic significance of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) in a retrospective cohort of 115 cases.
Methods: A total of 115 cases of EHE diagnosed in the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (NCC) from 2011 to 2023 were collected. The clinical and pathological features of EHE were reviewed by Fluorescence hybridization (FISH) and Immunohistochemistry (IHC).
