ObjectiveTo explore the target of Erzhiwan in reducing myocardial injury in ovariectomized mice through non-targeted myocardial metabolomics combined with experimental verification. MethodsOvariectomized mouse model was selected， 40 female C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into sham operation group， model group， estrogen group（estradiol valerate， 1.3×10^-4 g·kg^-1）， Erzhiwan low and high dose groups（3.12， 9.36 g·kg^-1）， with 8 mice in each group. Each administration group was given the corresponding dose of Erzhiwan by gavage， and the sham operation group and model group were given equal volume of distilled water by gavage for 12 weeks. Echocardiography was used to detect cardiac function， hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining was used to observe myocardial morphological changes， and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA） was used to detect the levels of estrogen， N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide（NT-proBNP）， hypersensitive troponin T（hs-TnT）， total cholesterol（TC）， triglyceride（TG）， low density lipoprotein cholesterol（LDL-C）， high density lipoprotein cholesterol（HDL-C）， interleukin（IL）-1β， IL-18 and tumor necrosis factor-α（TNF-α）. The non-targeted metabolomics of mouse myocardium were analyzed by ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-electrostatic field orbital trap high-resolution mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS）， and the differential metabolites and corresponding metabolic pathways were obtained. The mRNA expression levels of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase（PI3K） and protein kinase B（Akt） in mouse myocardial tissues were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction（Real-time PCR）， and the protein expression levels of PI3K， Akt， phosphorylated（p）-Akt were detected by Western blot. ResultsCompared with the sham operation group， the model group showed abnormal cardiac function， increased myocardial fiber space， cardiomyocyte atrophy， sarcoplasmic aggregation， and occasional dissolution or rupture of muscle fiber， the level of estrogen in the serum was decreased， the levels of NT-proBNP， hs-TnT， IL-1β， IL-18， TNF-α， TG， TC and LDL-C were increased， and the level of HDL-C was decreased（P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， Erzhiwan could increase the level of estrogen， improve the abnormal cardiac function， reduce the pathological injury of myocardial tissue， decrease the levels of myocardial injury markers（NT-proBNP， hs-TnT） and inflammatory factors（IL-1β， IL-18， TNF-α）， decrease the levels of TG， TC， LDL-C， and increased the level of HDL-C（P<0.01）. The results of non-targeted myocardial metabolomics showed that 31 of the 162 differential metabolites between the model group and sham operation group were significantly adjusted after administration of Erzhiwan， which were mainly glycerol phospholipid metabolites. Pathway enrichment results showed that Erzhiwan mainly affected glycerophospholipid metabolic pathway， PI3K-Akt pathway， cyclic guanosine monophosphate（cGMP）-protein kinase G（PKG） pathway and other metabolic pathways. Compared with the sham operation group， the levels of phosphatidylcholine（PC， 11 types） and phosphatidylethanolamine（PE， 5 types） in mouse myocardial tissue of the model group were increased（P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the mRNA and protein expressions of PI3K and p-Akt were decreased（P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the levels of PC（11 types） and PE（5 types） were decreased（P<0.05， P<0.01） in myocardial tissue of Erzhiwan group， the mRNA and protein expressions of PI3K and p-Akt were elevated（P<0.01）. ConclusionErzhiwan can alleviate the pathological injury of myocardium in ovariectomized mice， improve the abnormal cardiac function， improve lipid metabolism disorder， and reduce the levels of myocardial injury markers and inflammatory factors， which involves a number of signaling and metabolic pathways in the heart， among which glycerophospholipid metabolism pathway and PI3K/Akt pathway may have key roles.

Real-time, noninvasive programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) testing using molecular imaging has enhanced our understanding of the immune environments of neoplasms and has served as a guide for immunotherapy. However, the utilization of radiotracers in the imaging of human brain tumors using positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) remains limited. This investigation involved the synthesis of [¹⁸F]AlF-NOTA-PCP2, which is a novel peptide-based radiolabeled tracer that targets PD-L1, and evaluated its imaging capabilities in orthotopic glioblastoma (GBM) models. Using this tracer, we could noninvasively monitor radiation-induced PD-L1 changes in GBM. [¹⁸F]AlF-NOTA-PCP2 exhibited high radiochemical purity (>95%) and stability up to 4 h after synthesis. It demonstrated specific, high-affinity binding to PD-L1 in vitro and in vivo, with a dissociation constant of 0.24 nM. PET/CT imaging, integrated with contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging, revealed significant accumulation of [¹⁸F]AlF-NOTA-PCP2 in orthotopic tumors, correlating with blood-brain barrier disruption. After radiotherapy (15 Gy), [¹⁸F]AlF-NOTA-PCP2 uptake in tumors increased from 9.51% ± 0.73% to 12.04% ± 1.43%, indicating enhanced PD-L1 expression consistent with immunohistochemistry findings. Fractionated radiation (5 Gy × 3) further amplified PD-L1 upregulation (13.9% ± 1.54% ID/cc) compared with a single dose (11.48% ± 1.05% ID/cc). Taken together, [¹⁸F]AlF-NOTA-PCP2 may be a valuable tool for noninvasively monitoring PD-L1 expression in brain tumors after radiotherapy.

Occupational pneumoconiosis remains the most common occupational disease in China, with occupational mineral dust exposure being its primary causative factor. Although national standards for online monitoring and early warning systems of coal mine dust concentrations have been established, national occupational health standards for rapid and online monitoring of dust concentration and particle size distribution in other industries are still limited. Among dust concentration sensor technologies, the light scattering method is the preferred choice for online dust monitoring owing to its wide measurement range and low cost. The beta-ray absorption method is mature but highly sensitive to humidity. The electrostatic induction method offers high sensitivity, simple structure, and low maintenance costs but exhibits high errors in low-concentration dust monitoring. The tapered element oscillating microbalance method is highly sensitive but costly. Multi-sensor data fusion technology can improve monitoring reliability, however, mature domestic products are not yet available. For monitoring dust particle size distribution, sieving and sedimentation methods are cumbersome. The aerodynamic method shows broad prospects in the online monitoring of respirable dust but has obvious measurement errors for larger dust particles. The use of optical measurement method is limited by dust morphology and is not suitable for monitoring coal dust particle size distribution. The electrical mobility method is primarily applicable to submicron dust. Future research should focus on promoting the application of monitoring technology for respirable dust particle size distribution in online monitoring of industrial dust. By integrating Internet of Things, data mining, and artificial intelligence technologies, along with multi-sensor data fusion and numerical simulation, dust concentration prediction models can be established to achieve accurate dust concentration monitoring and early warning of exceedances. The advancements of technologies will provide scientific support for the assessment of industrial dust hazards and the prevention and control of occupational pneumoconiosis.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of modified pelvic floor reconstruction in non-nerve-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (NNS RARP) for improving postoperative urinary control. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 79 prostate cancer patients who underwent NNS RARP at Tangdu Hospital during Jan.2020 and Dec.2023, including 29 in the reconstruction group, and 50 in the non-reconstruction group. The baseline characteristics including age, body mass index, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, clinical stage, prostate volume, and biopsy Gleason score, and perioperative indexes including operation time, intraoperative blood loss, catheter indwelling time, complication rate, and positive rate of surgical margins were compared between the two groups. Additionally, urinary continence function was assessed before operation and 1,3,6, and 12 months after operation using the international consultation on incontinence questionnaire-short form (ICIQ-SF) and the incontinence quality of life questionnaire score (I-QoL). Results No statistically significant differences were observed in the baseline characteristics between the two groups (P>0.05). The operation time was significantly longer in the reconstruction group than in the non-reconstruction group [ (110.24±15.08) min vs. (101.80±9.89) min, P=0.010]. There were no significant differences in intraoperative blood loss, catheter indwelling time, complication rate, and positive rate of surgical margins between the two groups (P>0.05). The reconstruction group demonstrated significantly lower ICIQ-SF scores at 1 month [ (10.17±2.16) vs. (11.56±1.66), P=0.002],3 months [ (7.62±1.29) vs. (9.52±1.80), P<0.001], and 6 months postoperatively [ (4.93±1.22) vs. (6.18± 1.67), P=0.001]compared to the non-reconstruction group (adjusted P<0.0125). Conversely, the I-QoL scores were significantly higher in the reconstruction group at 1 month [ (73.32±10.30) vs. (63.88±9.55), P<0.001]and 3 months postoperatively [ (78.91±4.82) vs. (75.66±5.17), P=0.007] (adjusted P<0.0125). However, no significant differences were found in ICIQ-SF or I-QoL scores between the two groups preoperatively and 12 months postoperatively (adjusted P>0.0125). Conclusion The application of modified pelvic floor reconstruction technique in NNS RARP is safe and feasible. Although it slightly prolongs the operation time, it does not increase surgical risks; instead, it effectively promotes early recovery of postoperative urinary continence, thereby significantly enhancing patients'quality of life.

In order to establish a rapid,specific and sensitive detection method for Streptococcus equi subspecies zooepidemicus(SEZ)and to understand the infection status of SEZ in horses ente-ring China,specific primers were designed and synthesized based on the conserved gene comB of standard strain SEZ(ATCC 43079)in this work.Then,the pMD19-T-comB recombinant plasmid was constructed and used as a standard positive template.After that,the fluorescence-based quantitative PCR(qPCR)detection method based on SYBR Green Ⅰ dye was established.Totally,477 equine entry serum samples from 6 countries,including Netherlands,Belgium,Japan,Germa-ny,Argentina and New Zealand,during 2018 to 2023,were randomly selected and detected for SEZ by the qPCR method.Results showed that the established qPCR method had specific amplification for only SEZ,which illustrated a good specificity.Sensitivity test of the method showed that the limited detection amount was 4.58 X101 copies/μL.And the repeatability test showed that the coef-ficient of variation of intra-batch repeatability was less than 0.5％,while the inter-batch repeat-ability was less than 3.0％,which indicated good repeatability and high stability.Retrospective a-nalysis showed that totally 11 of 477 positive samples were detected,with a relatively low positive rate of 2.31％(11/477).Among them,all the 40 samples from Netherlands in 2018 were negative(0/40).In the samples of 2019,one positive was detected from Belgium(1/20),while all other 36 samples which form Japan and Germany were negative.In the samples of 2021,three samples(3/34)from Japan and one sample(1/20)from Argentina were positive,and all the other 40 samples from the Netherlands were negative.In the samples of 2022,76 samples from Netherlands were all negative.While in the 2023,5(5/126)of 126 samples from Netherlands and one(1/88)of 88 from New Zealand were found positive with SEZ.To summarize,The SYBR Green Ⅰ qPCR method for the diagnosis of SEZ was successfully established,and it could provide necessary technical support for the rapid quarantine of China's entry-exit and port departments,as well as the epidemiological investigation of the disease.

The pursuit of cosmetic effects in post-surgical wounds has led to the development of ultra-minimally invasive techniques in surgery. Minimal invasive surgery has replaced open surgery and has become the new gold-standard for treating diseases. One such technique is the single incision triangulated umbilicus surgery (SITUS), which offers several advantages over traditional laparoscopic and other scarless surgeries, including reduced trauma, faster recovery, and better cosmetic outcomes. SITUS also has a short learning curve, aligns with conventional instrumentation operating habits, and can be used for whole abdominal surgeries. Chinese scholars have made further improvements to the SITUS technology, including expanding its applicability in intra-abdominal surgery and refining its incision closure methods to achieve superior cosmetic results. Currently, SITUS technology is experiencing rapid development in urology applications and has demonstrated satisfactory results in both domestic and international reports. This review aims to discuss the effectiveness and development of the SITUS technique in urology.

Objective To compare the effects of visual rigid laryngoscope and visual laryngoscope in nasotracheal intubation(NTI)for patients with cervical spine immobilization simulated difficult airway.Methods Ninety patients scheduled for selective surgery under general anesthesia requiring NTI,52 males and 38 females,aged 18-64 years,BMI 18.5-25.0 kg/m2,ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,were scheduled for selective surgery under general anesthesia requiring NTI.Before anesthesia induction,the spinal surgeon selected an appropriate cervical collar and adjusted it to fix patient's neck to establishing difficult airway sim-ulation model.All patients were randomly assigned into two groups:visual rigid laryngoscope(group R)and common visual laryngoscope(group C),45 patients in each group.NTI was performed using either visual rigid laryngoscope or visual laryngoscope in groups R and C,respectively.The nasal passage time,glottic exposure time,intubation time,number of successful first intubation attempts,and intubation attempts were recorded.Glottic exposure was assessed using the Cormack-Lehane(C-L)grading system,and the intuba-tion condition was quantitatively evaluated using the modified nasal intubation difficulty scale(NIDS).The blood pressure and heart rate were measured at baseline(T1),immediately after intubation(T2),and at 1 minute(T3)and 3 minutes(T4)after intubation.The occurrence of intubation-related complications(nasal bleeding,sore throat,hoarseness)was recorded.Results Compared with group C,the nasal passage time and proportion of successful intubations without difficulty were significantly increased in group R,and the glottic exposure time and intubation time were significantly decreased in group R(P<0.05).Compared with group C,the HR and MAP at T2 and T3 were significantly decreased in group R(P<0.05).Com-pared with group C,group R had significantly lower incidence rates of nasal bleeding,sore throat,and hoarseness(P<0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in the first intubation success rate,number of intubation attempts,or C-L grade between the two groups.Conclusion Patients with cer-vical spine immobilization simulated difficult airway,both visual rigid laryngoscope and visual laryngoscope can be performed safely and effectively in NTI.Compared with visual laryngoscope,visual rigid laryngoscope can provide faster glottic exposure,shorter intubation time,lower intubation difficulty,less hemodynamic impact,and lower incidence of complications.

Objective To explore the related factors of lymph node metastasis in early gastric cancer and to analyze the clinical efficacy between laparoscopic D2 radical resection and endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD).Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 404 patients with early gastric cancer undergoing surgical treatment in our hospital from June 2018 to June 2022 were recruited in this study.According to their surgical treatment,they were divided into laparoscopy group(n=271)and ESD group(n=133).The lymph node metastases were compared in the patients with different clinical features,and the factors affecting lymph node metastasis were analyzed with multivariate logistic regression analysis.The lymph node metastasis rate of patients with absolute and expanded indications of ESD was calculated.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to compare the long-term efficacy of ESD and laparoscopic D2 radical resection in these patients.Stratified regression analysis was applied to explore the relationship between surgical methods and long-term outcome in them.Results In the 404 patients with early gastric cancer,the rate of lymph node metastasis was 12.38％(50/404).Univariate analysis showed that 7 clinical features,such as ulcer,tumor pathological features and pathological differentiation,were related to lymph node metastasis.Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that low differentiation and tumor infiltration depth of submucous membrane(SM)were related factors affecting lymph node metastasis in early gastric cancer.The overall survival rate was 96.29％(389/404)in the 404 patients,96.31％in the laparoscopic group and 96.24％in the ESD group,and no statistical difference was seen between the 2 groups(P＞0.05).There was no obvious difference in 5-year survival rate between the patients who met the absolute indications for ESD and underwent laparoscopic D2 radical surgery and those receiving ESD treatment(96.00％vs 96.55％),and between those who were in accordance with the expanded indications for ESD and underwent laparoscopic D2 radical surgery and those receiving ESD treatment(94.74％vs 91.67％).After adjusting the clinical features such as lesion size,pathological differentiation and depth of tumor invasion by stratified regression analysis,the mode of operation for early gastric cancer was still correlated with the long-term efficacy(β=1.173,P=0.003).Conclusion The depth of tumor infiltration and differentiation are closely related to lymph node metastasis in early gastric cancer patients.The efficacy of laparoscopic D2 radical surgery on the patients with absolute and expanded indications for ESD is comparable to that of ESD treatment.

Objective:To introduce the experience of reconstructing the pelvic floor with a pedicled large omental flap combined with a basement membrane biological mesh in combined pelvic organ resection for locally advanced or locally recurrent rectal cancer combined with sacrococcygeal resection, and to discuss the feasibility, safety, and near-term therapeutic efficacy of this technique.Methods:For patients with sacrococcygeal resection of combined pelvic organs, a basement membrane mesh was used to rebuild the pelvic floor with a pedicled greater omentum flap to isolate the abdominopelvic cavity. The main operation was to pull the greater omentum, which preserved the double vascular arches, to the pelvic floor to cover the pelvic floor, and then the mesh was used to cover the posterior peritoneal defect and pelvic inlet with absorbable sutures of 2-0 or thicker.Results:In this study, a retrospective cohort study was used to collect clinical data through the China Rectal Cancer Combined Pelvic Organs Resections Case Database. Twenty patients with locally advanced or locally recurrent rectal cancer without extra-pelvic metastasis or only oligometastases underwent combined pelvic organ and sacrococcygeal resection in the Department of Anal and Intestinal Surgery of the Second Affiliated Hospital of the Naval Military Medical University during the period of July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023, and 10 patients underwent simple basement membrane resection with a simple basement membrane. Among them, the pelvic floor were reconstructed by basement membrane mesh alone in 10 cases (mesh only group), and 10 cases were reconstructed the pelvic floor by pedicled large omental flap combined with basement membrane mesh (omental flap-combined mesh group). The recent outcomes of the two groups of patients were studied comparatively. Comparison of baseline data and intraoperative conditions between the two groups showed no statistically significant differences (all P>0.05); the drain removal time in the omental flap-combined mesh group was 26.7 (19-42) days, which was shorter than that in the mesh only group, which was 40.4 (24-56) days ( U=4.125, P=0.001); The empty pelvis healing time in the omental flap-combined mesh group was 29.4 (23~43) days, which was shorter than that of 42.2 (27~58) days in the mesh-only group ( U=4.043, P=0.001); the differences were all statistically significant. The postoperative complication rate of grade ≥III in the omental flap-combined mesh group was 1/10, which was lower than that of 6/10 in the mesh-only group; the difference was not statistically significant when comparing the two groups ( P = 0.057). Follow-up ended on 09/30/2023, with a median follow-up of 9.5 (3-15) months in 20 patients, and all 20 cases survived during the follow-up period, with no tumor recurrence at the surgical site. Conclusion:In locally advanced or locally recurrent rectal cancer undergoing combined pelvic organ resection with sacrococcygeal, compared with reconstruction of the pelvic floor by basement membrane mesh alone, reconstruction of the pelvic floor and isolation of the abdominopelvic cavity by a pedicled greater omentum flap combined with a basement membrane mesh is safe and feasible.

Objective To establish a method for simultaneous determination of 11 components of Solanum nigrum from different producing areas,and to evaluate the quality by chemometrics and entropy weight-technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution(EW-TOPSIS).Methods The 17 batches of Solanum nigrum samples from 8 provinces were collected.The high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC)method was used to simultaneously determine the contents of medioresino,pinoresinol,quercetin,rutoside,solasonine,solamargine,khasianine,solasodine,desgalactotigonin,diosgenin and β-sitosterol,and the multi-components quantitative control mode of Solanum nigrum was established.The quality evaluation model of Solanum nigrum was established by using chemical recognition pattern and EW-TOPSIS method,and the overall quality was evaluated comprehensively.Results When the 11 components were in the 0.78-39.00,0.55-27.50,0.34-17.00,0.21-10.50,41.87-2 093.50,60.95-3 047.50,2.58-129.00,1.02-51.00,0.46-23.00,1.05-52.50 and 0.42-21.00 μg/mL(r＞0.999 0),their linear relationships were good.The average recovery was 96.81％-100.28％with the RSD＜2.0％(n=9).17 batches of samples clustered into 3 categories.Solamargine,solasonine,desgalactotigonin and medioresino may be the main potential markers affecting the quality of Solanum nigrum.The results of EW-TOPSIS method showed that,the quality evaluation closeness of 17 batches of Solanum nigrum were 0.433 6,0.416 8,0.624 2,0.500 8,0.479 1,0.636 1,0.568 3,0.250 0,0.190 9,0.222 1,0.170 7,0.720 0,0.698 3,0.744 7,0.717 9,0.720 9 and 0.718 3,respectively,indicating that the overall quality of Solanum nigrum from Liaoning,Jilin and Heilongjiang were better,followed by Jiangsu,Henan and Anhui.Conclusion The established HPLC method for simultaneous determination of 11 components in Solanum nigrum is convenient and accurate.Chemometrics and EW-TOPSIS method are objective and comprehensive,which can be used for the overall quality evaluation of Solanum nigrum.
