Objective To explore the clinical effectiveness of full endoscopic lamina fenestration discec-tomy(Endo-LOVE)in combination with nerve root pulsed radiofrequency(NR-PRF)in the treatment of lumbar degenerative disease(LDD),along with the amelioration of postoperative residual symptoms.Methods A retro-spective analysis was performed on 102 patients with LDD who were treated in our hospital between January 2022 and June 2023.Among them,53 cases were assigned to the observation group(receiving Endo-LOVE combined with NR-PRF),and 49 cases were included in the control group(undergoing Endo-LOVE alone).The mean follow-up period was 15.05±1.15 months.The general data of the two groups were compared.Observations were carried out at preoperative,1-day,7-day,1-month,3-month,6-month,and final follow-up time points postopera-tively.The perioperative data and follow-up outcomes of the two groups were compared.Results Prior to surgery,no significant disparities were detected in the general conditions and clinical observation indicators(VAS,M-JOA,and ODI scores)between the two groups.Postoperatively,both groups exhibited a notable improvement in clinical indicators when compared to the preoperative levels(P<0.05).Within three months after surgery,the observation group showed significantly more pronounced improvement in all clinical indicators than the control group(P<0.05).At six months postoperatively and during the final follow-up,no statistically significant differences in clinical indi-cators were found between the two groups.Moreover,at the final follow-up,there was no statistically significant difference in the Macnab scores between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion Endoscopic decompression for the treatment of LDD exhibits high safety and reliability.When combined with endoscopic NR-PRF,it enhances the clinical efficacy,reduces the incidence of postoperative residual symptoms,and facilitates rapid postoperative recovery.This complementary combination presents a novel therapeutic strategy for LDD.

Objective The present study was designed to explore the inhibitory effects of the ADC drug Disitamab Vedotin(RC-48)on breast cancer cells with different HER-2 expression levels by utilizing a tumor organoid culture system.Methods Within the framework of the tumor organoid culture system,the breast cancer cell lines MCF-7(characterized by low HER-2 expression,Luminal A subtype)and BT-474(exhibiting high HER-2 expression,HER-2 positive subtype)were cultured independently and in various mixed ratios.The histological characteristics,as well as the expression levels and distribution of HER-2 in MCF-7 and BT-474 organoids,were analyzed via immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence techniques.MCF-7 and BT-474 organoids were separately treated with Vedotin(RC-48),Disitamab,and Monomethyl auristatin E(MMAE).Additionally,a drug sensitivity test of Disitamab Vedotin(RC-48)was carried out on mixed MCF-7 and BT-474 cell ratios and on patient-derived breast cancer organoids,with the assessment conducted using the 3D-Glo method.Results In the tumor organoid culture system,immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence analyses demonstrated that HER-2 was predominantly localized in the cell membrane.Specifically,BT-474 organoids exhibited robust HER-2 expression,while MCF-7 organoids displayed relatively low expression levels.When compared with MCF-7 organoids,RC48-ADC exerted a more pronounced inhibitory effect on BT-474 organoids,with IC50 values of 109.7 μg/mL and 2.792 μg/mL,respectively.The co-culture model further confirmed the bystander effect of RC-48,revealing that the ratio of HER-2-positive to HER-2-negative cells significantly influenced drug efficacy.Additionally,treatment with RC-48 led to a reduction in HER-2 expression in breast cancer organoids with diverse HER-2 expression levels.Conclusions The tumor organoid model can accurately mirror drug sensitivity and bystander effects.Within this model,RC-48 effectively inhibited HER-2 highly-expressing breast cancer cells,augmented the killing effect through the bystander mechanism,and downregulated HER-2 expression,thereby suggesting its potential for targeting HER2-associated breast cancer.

Objective To investigate the regulatory effects and molecular mechanisms of PUS3 on GBM cell malignant behaviors(proliferation,apoptosis,invasion)in vitro,providing potential therapeutic targets for GBM.Methods The expression of PUS3 in GBM was analyzed using the GEPIA2 database.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis evaluated the survival difference between PUS3 high-and low-expression patients.qRT-PCR and Western blot were performed to detect PUS3 expression in normal glial cells(HEB)and GBM cell lines(U87,LN229,U251,T98G).PUS3-stably overexpressing GBM cell lines were constructed.Colony formation,CCK-8 assay,and flow cytometry were used to assess proliferation and apoptosis.Transwell assay evaluated cell invasion.Immunohis-tochemistry(IHC)detected PUS3 expression in GBM patient tissues.Western blot analyzed tumor-related pathway proteins after PUS3 overexpression.Results The expression level of PUS3 is elevated in GBM patient tissues,and the mRNA and protein expression levels in GBM cells are significantly higher than those in HEB cells(P<0.01).After overexpression of PUS3,the proliferation ability of GBM cells was enhanced(P<0.05),the apoptosis rate decreased(P<0.01),and the number of invasive cells increased(P<0.001).Mechanistically,overexpression of PUS3 significantly activates the AKT pathway,and the use of AKT inhibitors in PUS3 overexpressing cells can reverse the pro cancer effect.Conclusion PUS3 is highly expressed in glioblastoma(GBM)and promotes tumor cell proliferation,invasion,and apoptosis inhibition by activating the AKT pathway,suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target for GBM treatment.

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effects of resveratrol(Res)on the growth of hormone-dependent and castration-resistant prostate cancer(PCa)and explore its mechanisms.Methods Subcutaneous xenograft models were established in nude mice using the human prostate cancer cell lines LNCaP(hormone-sensitive)and its castration-resistant derivative LNCaP-B.Thirty nude mice were randomly divided into three groups:control group,Res-treated and docetaxel.Tumor growth was recorded.Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)and Western blot were performed to assess androgen receptor(AR)mRNA and protein expression levels in tumor tissues.Results Moderate-and high-dose Res significantly inhibited the growth of both LNCaP and LNCaP-B xenografts in a dose-dependent manner,with statistical significance(P<0.05).qRT-PCR and Western blot analyses revealed that Res markedly downregulated AR mRNA expression and protein levels compared to the control group.However,no significant pathological alterations were observed in HE-stained tumor sections.Conclusions Resveratrol suppresses the growth of hormone-dependent and castration-resistant prostate cancer by inhibiting AR expression and signaling pathway activity.These findings highlight its potential as an adju-vant therapeutic agent to androgen deprivation therapy(ADT),providing a theoretical foundation for its clinical application in PCa treatment.

Objective To explore the prognostic implications of coagulation-fibrinolysis biomarkers in intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH)and to construct a multivariable logistic regression model for individualized risk prediction.Methods A total of 101 ICH patients who were admitted to Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University from January 2020 to December 2023 were retrospectively enrolled.These patients were stratified into a poor outcome group(ΔGCS≤0)and a good outcome group(ΔGCS>0)according to the difference in Glasgow Coma Scale(GCS)scores between discharge and admission.Coagulation and fibrinolysis markers collected upon admission were analyzed.The Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator(LASSO)regression was employed to screen variables.A logistic regression model was constructed using 70%of the cases(the training set),while the remaining 30%were utilized for validation.The performance of the model was evaluated through receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves,calibration plots,Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test,and decision curve analysis(DCA).Results Univariate analysis indicated that thrombin-antithrombin complex(TAT),D-dimer,and age exhibited significant differences between the two outcome groups(P<0.05).These three variables were selected via LASSO regression and incorporated into the logistic model.The final model equation was expressed as:logit(P)=-6.234+1.132×TAT+0.867×D-dimer+0.699×Age.In the training set,the area under the ROC curve(AUC)was 0.795.The calibration curve demonstrated excellent agreement between the predicted and observed outcomes,with a Hosmer-Lemeshow test P-value of 0.8568.DCA revealed that the model achieved net clinical benefit across a broad range of risk thresholds(0.1～0.8).Conclusions TAT,D-dimer,and age are independent predictors of poor prognosis in patients with ICH.The logistic regression model based on these variables demon-strates favorable discriminatory ability and clinical utility.The nomogram derived from this model enables individu-alized risk assessment and may aid clinicians in early prognostic evaluation and treatment planning.

Objective To assess the clinical effectiveness of Poly(p-dioxanone)(PPDO)bidirectional sawtooth inverted Ⅴ-shaped wiring and straight wiring in ameliorating nasolabial fold wrinkles within the context of facial rejuvenation.Methods Between March 2023 and January 2024,60 patients presenting with nasolabial fold wrinkles who underwent PPDO subcutaneous implantation and lifting in the Department of Plastic Surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical University were randomly allocated into an observation group and a control group.At 4 weeks,12 weeks,and 24 weeks post-surgery,the clinical efficacy was statistically analyzed.The incidence of complications was documented to evaluate the safety of the procedure,and a satisfaction survey was carried out.Results In each time period,the Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale(WSRS)scores of both groups decreased significantly when compared to those prior to the operation(P<0.05).At each corresponding time point after surgery,there was a statistically significant difference in the WSRS scores between the two groups in the observation group(P<0.05).In both groups,the WSRS score was the lowest at 12 weeks post-surgery,and the score at 24 weeks post-surgery was significantly higher than that at 12 weeks post-surgery(P<0.05).The overall effective rate of facial improvement in the observation group was 93.33%,which was significantly higher than that in the control group(73.33%).The difference was statistically significant(χ2=4.320,P<0.05).No obvious complications occurred in either group.The satisfaction rate in the observation group was 4.067±0.828,which was significantly higher than that in the control group(3.400±0.932).The difference was statistically significant(t=2.929,P<0.05).Conclusions Both the PPDO two-way sawtooth line inverted Ⅴ-shaped wiring method and the straight wiring method can effectively improve nasolabial fold wrinkles.Compared with the straight wiring method,the inverted Ⅴ wiring method demonstrates a more pronounced improvement effect,higher subject satisfaction,and fewer consumables.The optimal results were achieved at 12 weeks after surgery for both wiring methods.Moreover,neither surgical procedure was associated with significant complications.

Objective An innovative transparent full-visualization working channel was developed to investigate the clinical efficacy of applying a transparent full-visualization working channel in percutaneous endoscopic interlaminar discectomy(PEID)for the treatment of lumbar disc herniation.Methods The medical records of 145 patients who underwent PEID for lumbar disc herniation from September 2023 to September 2024 were included.These patients were classified into two groups based on the use of a transparent full-visualization working channel or a metal working channel:69 cases in the transparent channel group and 76 cases in the metal channel group.A comparative analysis was carried out between the two groups,evaluating differences in baseline characteristics,surgical performance indicators,the incidence of postoperative complications,and overall treat-ment outcomes.Results The operative time in the transparent channel group was shorter than that in the metal channel group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Regarding the length of postoperative hospital stays and the frequency of intraoperative fluoroscopy,no significant differences were observed between the transparent and metal channel groups(P>0.05).In the transparent channel group,postoperative sensory abnormalities in the lower extremities occurred in one patient,while in the metal channel group,seven patients experienced such issues.Nevertheless,this difference in complication rates did not reach statistical significance(P>0.05).Similarly,no significant differences were detected in EMG electrophysiological alerts during the place-ment of the working channel and nerve exploration between the two groups(P>0.05).However,during intraop-erative decompression,the transparent channel group had 8 fewer EMG alarms compared to the metal channel group's total of 29,and this difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusions The application of a transparent fully visualized working channel in the transforaminal approach for PEID can achieve the same clinical efficacy as a metal working channel.Moreover,it can significantly reduce nerve root irritation.The microscopic field of view of the transparent working channel is notably superior to that of the metal working channel.This enhanced visibility expands the field of view,facilitating effective nerve observation and protection,and ultimately increasing the safety of the surgical procedure.

Objective To investigate CBX2 and TIM3 in salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma(SACC)tissue and their relationship with clinical pathological features and prognosis.Methods 80 patients with SACC who underwent surgical treatment in the First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University from January 2016 to January 2020 were selected.Immunohistochemistry was used to measure CBX2 and TIM3 in tissues.The relationship between CBX2 and TIM3 in SACC tissue and prognosis was discussed though Kaplan-Meier method.The factors influencing the prognosis of SACC were discussed using multivariate Cox regression.Results The positive rates of CBX2 and TIM3 in SACC tissues were clearly higher than those in normal glandular tissues adjacent to cancer(χ2=11.237,8.229,P<0.05).The CBX2 and TIM3 were associated with nerve invasion and distant metastasis(P<0.05).After a 5-year follow-up,26 cases died and 54 cases survived,with an overall 5-year survival rate of 67.50%(54/80).The death group had higher positive rates of CBX2 and TIM3 in SACC tissues than the survival group(P<0.05).Patients with positive CBX2 and TIM3 in SACC tissues had clearly lower 5-year survival rate than patients with negative CBX2 and TIM3(Log Rank χ2=6.564,5.197,P<0.05).CBX2,TIM3 positivity,nerve invasion,and distant metastasis were risk factors affecting prognosis(P<0.05).Conclusion The positive expression of CBX2 and TIM3 in SACC tissues is closely related to the clinical pathological features and prognosis of patients.

Objective To investigate the correlation between salivary interleukin-33(IL-33)and anti-salivary gland protein 1(SP-1)antibody levels and salivary gland injury in primary Sjogren's syndrome(pSS).Methods A total of 91 patients with pSS admitted to Yixing People's Hospital from March 2020 to January 2025 were recruited as the observation group.Meanwhile,42 healthy individuals who were matched for gender and age and visited the same hospital during the same period were selected as the control group.The levels of IL-33 and anti-SP-1 antibodies in saliva,along with clinical data,were compared between the observation group and the control group.Additionally,the levels of IL-33 and anti-SP-1 antibodies in saliva were compared among patients with different salivary gland ultrasound(SGUS)scores.Moreover,the correlations between the levels of IL-33 and anti-SP-1 antibodies in saliva of pSS patients and saliva flow rate,clinical indicators,and SGUS scores were analyzed.Results The levels of IL-33 and anti-SP-1 antibodies in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).The dynamic saliva flow rate and static saliva flow rate in the observation group were notably lower than those in the control group(P<0.05),while the neutrophil count,CD4+cell count,and immunoglobulin G(IgG)levels in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).In patients with a submandibular gland Sj?gren's Ultrasound Scoring(SGUS)score≥2,the levels of salivary IL-33 and anti-SP-1 antibodies were significantly higher than those in patients with a submandibular gland SGUS score<2(P<0.05).Similarly,in patients with a parotid gland SGUS score≥2,the levels of salivary IL-33 and anti-SP-1 antibodies were significantly higher than those in patients with a parotid SGUS score<2(P<0.05).Correlation analysis indicated that the levels of IL-33 and anti-SP-1 antibodies in the saliva of pSS patients were positively correlated with the dynamic saliva flow rate,static saliva flow rate,CD4+cell count,and SGUS score(P<0.05).However,the levels of IL-33 and anti-SP-1 antibodies in the saliva of pSS patients were not correlated with the IgG level and neutrophil count(P>0.05).Conclusions The levels of IL-33 and anti-SP-1 antibodies in saliva are positively correlated with the saliva flow rate,CD4+cell count,and SGUS score in pSS patients.These findings suggest that these factors can serve as valuable indicators for evaluating salivary gland injury in pSS patients.
