Objective To investigate the role of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1(TREM-1)in ath-erosclerosis induced by chronic intermittent hypoxia(CIH).Methods ApoE-/-mice were randomly divided into blank group,model group and experimental group.The mice in the model group and the experimental group were kept in a hypoxic environment and fed with a high-fat diet.After 4 weeks of high-fat feeding,mice in the experi-mental group were intraperitoneally injected with TREM-1 inhibitor LR12(5 mg/kg)for 8 weeks.After 12 weeks of feeding,the level of serum total cholesterol(TC),low density lipoprotein(LDL),triglyceride(TG),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-1β(IL-1β)and interleukin-10(IL-10)were detected.Histological analysis of aortic TREM-1 expression,plaque area and macrophage level were examined.Results Compared with blank group,the expression of TREM-1 in the aorta of the model group significantly increased(P＜0.05).Com-pared with model group,the aortic plaque,the level of lipids in serum(TC,LDL,TG)and inflammatory factors(TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-10),aortic plaque,the expression of TREM-1 and infiltrating macrophages in aortic plaque of the experimental group were all significantly reduced(P＜0.05).Conclusions TREM-1 is involved in the develop-ment of CIH-induced AS.Inhibition of TREM-1 can alleviate CIH-induced AS and its mechanism is related to the inhibition of macrophage activation.

Objective:To explore the influencing factors for compliance to colonoscopy screening for colorectal cancer in outpatients.Methods:Patients aged 40-74 years who visited the outpatient gastroenterology department of 7 tertiary hospitals in 7 regions of Xinjiang from January 2022 to June 2022 were enrolled. Recommendations for colonoscopy screening were made according to the patient's medical conditions, and the questionnaire was used to collect information. The Chi-square test was used to compare the differences of compliant and non-compliant patients. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of compliance to colonoscopy screening.Results:A total of 463 valid questionnaires were obtained from 7 centers, in which, 427 outpatients (92.2%) followed the recommendation for colonoscopy screening, and 36 (7.8%) did not. Chi-square test results showed that there were statistically significant differences between the two groups in gender, age, education, subjective cognition of intestinal polyps, personal history of colorectal polyps, family history of colorectal cancer, family history of colorectal polyps, abdominal pain or distension, and defecation habit or stool changes ( P<0.05). The results of multivariate regression analysis showed that the screening compliance of patients aged 40-49 years ( P=0.005, OR=0.141, 95% CI: 0.036-0.549) and 50-59 years ( P=0.039, OR=0.257, 95% CI: 0.071-0.932) was lower than that of patients aged 60-74 years. The screening compliance of patients with high school education ( P=0.011, OR=3.121, 95% CI: 1.304-7.473) and college education or above ( P=0.016, OR=3.544, 95% CI: 1.270-9.890) was higher than those with primary school education and below. Patients with personal history of colorectal polyps ( P=0.015, OR=12.288, 95% CI: 1.629-92.719), family history of colorectal cancer ( P=0.038, OR=8.506, 95% CI: 1.124-64.351) and changes in defecation habit or stool trait ( P=0.039, OR=4.794, 95% CI: 1.085-21.192) also had higher compliance. Conclusion:Age, educational level, personal history of colorectal polyps, and family history of colorectal cancer are related to colonoscopy screening compliance in outpatients of 7 tertiary hospitals in 7 regions of Xinjiang. The independent risk factors affecting compliance to colorectal cancer screening in outpatients are age of 40-59 years, lower educational level, no previous history of polyps or family history of colorectal cancer, and no defecation habit or stool changes.

Objective This study aims to establish a non-puerperal mastitis (NPM) rat model by simulating hyperprolactinemia and immune-inflammatory states, and to evaluate its local inflammatory characteristics in the mammary gland, thereby laying the foundation for research on the diagnosis and treatment of this clinically challenging disease. Methods Twelve SPF-grade Wistar female rats were evenly divided into a control group and a model group. During the experiment, the control group received no experimental treatment or medication. The model group received daily subcutaneous injections of 100 mg/kg metoclopramide hydrochloride for 7 consecutive days. Serum prolactin (PRL) levels were measured using ELISA on the 10th, 20th, and 30th days after the first injection. After 7 days of injections, 200 μL of lactating SD rat milk was mixed with 200 μL of complete Freund's adjuvant to prepare an oil-in-water emulsion, which was administered by multiple subcutaneous injections into the back of the Wistar rats for the initial immunization. Seven days after the initial immunization, the emulsion was injected subcutaneously into the third, fourth, and fifth mammary glands for the final immunization. After the final immunization, the rats were observed for 28 days for changes in mammary gland appearance, and the size of mammary nodules was calculated. On the 3rd, 7th, 14th, and 28th days, hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to analyze mammary tissue morphology. Immunohistochemistry was employed to detect CD138 expression levels. ELISA was used to measure the levels of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in mammary tissue to comprehensively assess the model. Results Rats in the model group exhibited mammary skin ulceration and foul odor at the ulcer sites. Palpation and ultrasound revealed the formation of mammary nodules. HE staining showed that on the 3rd day after the final immunization, normal ductal and lobular structures in the mammary glands disappeared, with significant infiltration of plasma cells. On the 7th day, ductal dilation, epithelial necrosis and detachment, and pronounced periductal plasma cell and lymphocyte (predominantly T-lymphocytes) infiltration were observed. On the 14th day, there was a proliferation of fibrofatty tissue, small blood vessels, and granulation tissue, with scattered plasma cells in the interstitium. By the 28th day, inflammatory cell infiltration and fibrous tissue proliferation were reduced, with granuloma formation. Serum PRL levels in the model group were significantly increased on the 10th day (P<0.05) and the 20th day (P<0.001). IL-6 and TNF-α levels in mammary tissue were higher in the model group compared to the control group on the 3rd, 7th, 14th, and 28th days (P<0.05). IL-1β levels were higher on the 3rd, 7th, and 14th days compared with the control group (P<0.01) but lower than the control group on the 28th day (P>0.05). iNOS levels were significantly higher on the 7th day after the final immunization (P<0.001). Conclusion A successful NPM model was established in rats, which exhibited typical pathological features such as local mammary masses, abscesses, ulcers, ductal dilation and plasma cell infiltration. This model can serve as a foundation for further research into the diagnosis and treatment of this clinically challenging disease.

ObjectiveTo establish a vaginal self-sampling HPV cervical cancer screening model in Hainan Province, to analyze the application of p16 protein detection in HPV positive and non-HPV16 /18 shunt screening. MethodsFrom January 2019 to September 2022, a total of 200 women from the targeted population was randomly selected for vaginal self-sampling HPV typing test to screen cervical cancer using randomized numeric table method, followed by cervical cytology sampling for cytology p16 protein detection. Postoperative pathological examination was used as the gold standard. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of HPV positive detection rate in cervical lesions, and the nomogram model was constructed simultaneously. The receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve and calibration curve were used for evaluating the accuracy of the nomogram model. Differences in the distribution of self-sampled HPV-positive and HPV infected genotypes were recorded, and the application of p16 protein detection in HPV-positive and non-HPV16/18 shunt screening was analyzed. ResultsAged ≥40 years, BMI ≥28.00 kg·m^-2, number of sexual partners ≥2, frequency of sexual life ≥10 times·month^-1, bleeding from sexual intercourse, and age of first sexual intercourse <22 years were the risk factors for HPV positive of cervical lesions (all P<0.001). The results of ROC curve and calibration curve showed that the area under ROC curve (AUC) was 0.874 (95%CI: 0.823‒0.907, P<0.05), the sensitivity was 0.835, the specificity was 0.847, and the Youden index was 0.672, indicating a good fit of the model. Results of vaginal self-sampling HPV test showed that the positive rate of HPV was 86.50% (173/200). HPV high-risk infection types mainly included HPV16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 52, 56, 58, 59, 68, 73, and 82. Single HPV infection accounted for 95.95% (166/173), 2.89% (5/173) were infected with two types of HPV, and 1.16% (2/173) were infected with three or more types of HPV. Colposcopic pathologic diagnosis was used as the gold standard, and the results showed that the accuracy of p16 protein detection in the diagnosis of cervical cancer was 93.50% (187/200), with a sensitivity of 96.53% (167/173), and a specificity of 74.07% (20/27). The negative and positive predictive value were 76.92% (20/26) and 95.98% (167/174), respectively. The results of shunt screening showed that there were 80 cases infected with HPV16, 79 cases infected with HPV18 and 41 cases of non-HPV16/18, with a sensitivity of 90.91%, 90.32% and 86.67%, a specificity of 71.43%, 64.71% and 72.73%, a negative predictive value of 62.50%, 64.71% and 66.67%, a positive predictive value of 93.75%, 90.32% and 89.66%, and an accuracy of 87.50%, 84.81% and 82.93%, respectively. The specificity and accuracy of p16 positive screening for cervical cancer were significantly higher than that of HPV positive detection, but the false positive rate was significantly lower than that of HPV positive detection. The AUCs of HPV positive, p16 positive and combination of the two detection methods for cervical cancer were 0.603, 0.822 and 0.907, respectively. ConclusionVaginal self-sampling HPV testing is a widely accepted mode for cervical cancer screening. Cervical cytology p16 protein detection is important for self-sampled HPV positive and shunt screening of non-HPV16/18.

The generalized anxiety disorder scale-7 (GAD-7) was used to screen anxiety symptoms, and the patient health questionaire-8 (PHQ-8) was performed to screen depression symptoms, and the general situation questionnaire was used to collect clinical information of patients. The questionnairs were completed via the Questionnaire Star platform or paper questionnaire, and a database was established. The patients were divided into groups according to whether with anxiety and depression symptoms. Multivariable logistic regression models was performed to analyze the factors related to anxiety and depression.Results:A total of 516 questionnaires were distributed and collected, among which 9 questionnaires were incomplete and 507 questionnaires were valid, the effective rate of questionnaires was 98.26%. The detection rates of anxiety and depression symptoms in 507 patients with colorectal polyps were 21.50%(109/507) and 19.33%(98/507), respectively. The results of multivariable logistic analysis revealed that female ( OR=3.87, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 2.30 to 6.51, P<0.001), maximum diameter of polyp ( OR=1.74, 95% CI 1.14 to 2.67, P=0.011), perception of polyps as cancer ( OR=13.96, 95% CI 1.48 to 132.07, P=0.022), and the occurrence of gastrointestinal symptoms after polyp detection ( OR=5.43, 95% CI 1.74 to 16.92, P=0.004) were independent risk factors of anxiety in patients with colorectal polyps. Female ( OR=2.42, 95% CI 1.47 to 4.00, P=0.001), the number of polyps ( OR=1.07, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.13, P=0.028) and the count of gastrointestinal symptoms ( OR=2.04, 95% CI 1.34 to 3.10, P=0.001) were independent risk factors of depression in patients with colorectal polyps. Conclusion:Gender, polyp size, number of polyps, disease perception, and concomitant gastrointestinal symptoms are associated with anxiety and depression in patients with colorectal polyps.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the world today, and adenocarcinoma is the most common histopathological type of lung cancer. In May 2021, World Health Organization (WHO) released the 5th edition of the WHO classification of thoracic tumors, which classifies invasive non-mucinous adenocarcinoma (INMA) into lepidic adenocarcinoma, acinar adenocarcinoma, papillary adenocarcinoma, solid adenocarcinoma, and micropapillary adenocarcinoma based on its histological characteristics. These five pathological subtypes differ in clinical features, treatment and prognosis. A complete understanding of the characteristics of these subtypes is essential for the clinical diagnosis, treatment options, and prognosis predictions of patients with lung adenocarcinoma, including recurrence and progression. This article will review the grading system, morphology, imaging prediction, lymph node metastasis, surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy of different pathological subtypes of INMA.
