Objective: To establish a machine learning-based precision blood donor recruitment model at the county level and assess its generalizability and applicability. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted using blood donation and SMS recruitment data from the Taicang Branch of the Suzhou Blood Center between 2019 and 2024. Multiple machine learning algorithms were employed, including extreme gradient boosting, support vector machine, k-nearest neighbor, logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, and multilayer perceptron. These were combined with techniques such as synthetic minority oversampling, undersampling, and cost-sensitive learning (using MFE and MSFE loss functions). Model parameters were optimized through grid search to identify the best-performing model. Results: In a prospective comparative study against conventional methods, the machine learning models increased the recruitment success rate among high-willingness donors by an average of 129.15%, and the recruitment efficiency per SMS improved by 125.02% compared with the traditional method. Under full-scale SMS sending, the recruitment rate per SMS increased by 42.61%, and SMS sending efficiency improved by 31.77%, significantly enhancing recruitment performance. Conclusion: This study represents the first application of a machine learning-based precision donor recruitment model at the county-level in China. The precise recruitment framework not only improves recruitment efficiency and reduces recruitment costs but also demonstrates strong scalability and generalizability. It provides a scientific and feasible intelligent pathway to ensure the safety and sustainability of the blood supply.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between the expression level of endotoxin and soluble interleukin-2 receptor(sIL-2R)and the occurrence of suppurative otitis media in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma after radiotherapy.METHODS Seventy-nine nasopharyngeal cancer patients who received radiotherapy in Nanyang Downtown Hospital between January 2022 and July 2023 were selected as the study subjects,and they were followed up for a period of 1 year,and then grouped according to the occurrence of suppurative otitis media during the follow-up period,i.e.,21 cases in the occurringgroup and 58 cases in the non-occurring group,and the baseline data of patients in the two groups were compared,and the levels of endotoxin and sIL-2R were detected at the end of radiotherapy and analyze the relationship between endotoxin,sIL-2R and the occurrence of purulent otitis media after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.RESULTS A total of 21 cases(26.58%)of 79 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients developed suppurative otitis media after radiotherapy.Compared with the non-occurrence group,the radiotherapy time,endotoxin,sIL-2R,TNM stage Ⅲ,Eustachian tube involvement,nasal cavity structural abnormality,inflammatory reaction,and palatal sail tensor atrophy degree≥30%were high in the occurrence group,and the difference was statistically significant(all P<0.05).The results of logistic multifactorial analysis showed that inflammatory reaction,endotoxin,abnormal nasal structure,TNM stage(Ⅲ),sIL-2R,Eustachian tube involvement,duration of radiotherapy,and degree of atrophy of palatofacial tensor atrophy≥30%were all risk factors for suppurative otitis media.The results of Spearman's rank correlation analysis showed that endotoxin and sIL-2R were positively correlated with the occurrence of septic otitis media(r=0.493,0.516,P<0.001).Analysis using the ROC curve showed that:endotoxin:AUC value:0.657,sensitivity:61.90%,specificity:72.41%,accuracy:69.62%,95%CI=0.523-0.791;sIL-2R:AUC value:0.697,sensitivity:71.43%,specificity:67.24%,accuracy:68.35%,95%CI=0.566-0.829;combined test:AUC value:0.804,sensitivity:95.24%,specificity:65.52%,accuracy:73.42%,95%CI=0.705-0.903,the best value of the two combined tests.CONCLUSION The elevated levels of endotoxin and sIL-2R in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma after radiotherapy may be associated with suppurative otitis media.

Objective: To discover molecular markers associated with lung adenocarcinoma diagnosis/prognosis and drug resistance through screening of differentially expressed genes based on published chip data in gene expression databases using bioinformatics methods. Methods: Comprehensive analysis was performed in available mRNA microarray datasets including lung adenocarcinoma tissues dataset GSE32863 and lung adenocarcinoma taxane-platin resistance dataset GSE77209 from the gene expression omnibus(GEO) database. Gene ontology enrichment analysis, gene pathway enrichment analysis and protein interaction network analysis were performed based on significantly correlated genes. The expression level of genes was validated in the cancer genome atlas(TCGA) dataset. Survival differences were assessed by the log-rank test in TCGA lung adenocarcinoma dataset. Based on the publications genomics of drug sensitivity in cancer(GDSC) database in CellMiner cross database(CellMiner CDB), Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between differentially expressed genes and the half-maximal inhibitory concentration(IC50) of anticancer drugs. Results : There were a total of 77 genes which had a different expression in resistance lung adenocarcinoma cells and lung adenocarcinoma cancer tissues. The functional enrichment analysis showed that these co-different expression genes were mainly enriched in microtubule, extracellular exosome, cell cycle and signaling by nuclear receptors. Protein-protein interactions(PPI) network screened 6 most connected genes as molecular complex(MCODE). Among the MCODE, overexpressed ubiquitin conjugating enzyme E2 T(UBE2T), kinesin family member 20A(KIF20A), PCNA clamp associated factor(KIAA0101), pituitary tumor-transforming gene 1(PTTG1) and NIMA related kinase 2(NEK2) were associated with poor outcomes. Survival analysis results showed that these five genes were upregulated in lung adenocarcinoma tissues and drug-resistant cells and were significantly associated with poor prognosis in lung adenocarcinoma patients. Drug sensitivity analysis results suggested that high expression of PTTG1 and UBE2T was significantly associated with sensitivity to multiple anticancer drugs, including paclitaxel and docetaxel. RT-PCR validation showed that PTTG1 andUBE2T were highly expressed in docetaxel-resistant cells A549-TXR and H358-TXR. Conclusion PTTG1 andUBE2T holds the potential to be chemoresistance markers in lung adenocarcinoma.

Purpose To explore whether tryptanthrin(TRYP)can inhibit the malignant behavioral ability of glio-ma cells,and to elucidate the specific mechanism of its action.Methods MTT assay was performed to detect the effect of TRYP on the proliferation of glioma cells;Transwell assay was performed to detect the effect of TRYP on the migration and invasion of glioma cells;AnnexinV-FITC/PI apoptosis assay was performed to detect the effect of TRYP on the apoptosis of glioma cells;PI/RNase cell cycle assay was performed to detect the effect of TRYP on the cell cycle distribution of glioma cells;Western blot assay was performed to detect the effect of TRYP on the protein expressions of p-ERK and c-Myc in glioma cells.The effect of TRYP on the proliferation of glioma cells in vivo was verified by con-structing a subcutaneous transplantation tumor model in nude mice,and the effect of TRYP on the apoptotic ability of cells in the transplantation tumor was detected by TUNEL assay.Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the effect of TRYP on the expression of Ki67,BRAF,c-Myc,and p-ERK proteins in transplanted tumor tissues.Results MTT assay showed that TRYP could effectively inhibit the proliferation of glioma cells(P＜0.001).Transwell assay showed that TRYP could inhibit the invasion and migration of glioma cells(P＜0.001).AnnexinV-FITC/PI cell apoptosis as-say showed that TRYP could promote the apoptosis of glioma cells(P＜0.001).The results of PI/RNase cell cycle as-say showed that TRYP was able to promote the G2 phase block of glioma cells(P＜0.001).Western blot results showed that the expression levels of c-Myc and p-ERK proteins in the glioma cells were significantly reduced after TR-YP treatment(P＜0.001).The results of subcutaneous transplantation tumor model in nude mice showed that TRYP could effectively inhibit the growth rate(P＜0.01)and weight(P＜0.05)of transplanted tumor.TUNEL assay showed that TRYP could promote the apoptosis of tumor cells in transplanted tumor(P＜0.001).Immunohistochemis-try results showed that TRYP could effectively inhibit the protein expression of Ki67(P＜0.01),BRAF,c-Myc,and p-ERK(P＜0.001).Conclusion TRYP can inhibit the proliferation,invasion,and migration ability of glioma cells,promote apoptosis of glioma cells,and block the cell cycle of glioma cells.TRYP may inhibit the malignant pro-gression of glioma cells by suppressing the protein expression of BRAF,c-Myc and p-ERK1/2 in the MAPK/ERK sig-naling pathway.

Cancer is a major global health issue. Effective therapeutic strategies can prolong patients’ survival and reduce the costs of treatment. Drug repurposing, which identifies new therapeutic uses for approved drugs, is a promising approach with the advantages of reducing research costs, shortening development time, and increasing efficiency and safety. Disulfiram (DSF), a Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drug used to treat chronic alcoholism, has a great potential as an anticancer drug by targeting diverse human malignancies. Several studies show the antitumor effects of DSF, particularly the combination of DSF and copper (DSF/Cu), on a wide range of cancers such as glioblastoma (GBM), breast cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, and melanoma. In this review, we summarize the antitumor mechanisms of DSF/Cu, including induction of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and various cell death signaling pathways, and inhibition of proteasome activity, as well as inhibition of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling. Furthermore, we highlight the ability of DSF/Cu to target cancer stem cells (CSCs), which provides a new approach to prevent tumor recurrence and metastasis. Strikingly, DSF/Cu inhibits several molecular targets associated with drug resistance, and therefore it is becoming a novel option to increase the sensitivity of chemo-resistant and radio-resistant patients. Studies of DSF/Cu may shed light on its improved application to clinical tumor treatment.

Rheumatoid arthritis （RA） is a systemic autoimmune disease with local joint pain as the main clinical manifestation. It is one of the diseases specifically responding to traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. The occurrence of RA is not only related to innate factors like genetic disorder but also associated with environmental factors， such as diets and microbial infection. The intestine， a vital human organ with digestive and immune functions， is a place where microorganisms colonize and exert intestinal metabolism-improving， barrier-protecting， and immunomodulatory effects. As the research on the onset and treatment of RA is deepening， the potential relationship of intestinal structural and functional abnormalities with the pathogenesis and progression of RA has been revealed. As clinical and experimental studies indicated， joint inflammation coexists with the impaired barrier function， imbalanced immune cells， and disordered gut microbiota. The theory of the gut-joint axis in the pathogenesis， progression， and treatment of RA is highly consistent with the holistic view in TCM. The recent pharmacological studies have shown that Chinese medicine prescriptions and active components can inhibit inflammation， protect joints， and maintain the intestinal function. This article summarizes the basic connotation of the gut-joint axis in RA and the mechanism by which TCM protect the intestinal barrier and modulate the immunity by regulating the gut microbiota structure and improving microbial metabolism in the treatment of RA. This review gives insights into the future research on the gut-joint axis in RA.

Objective:To compare the differences in surgical safety and postoperative cosmetic effects between endoscopic nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate prepectoral prosthesis breast reconstruction and conventional nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate subpectoral prosthesis breast reconstruction.Methods:The clinical data of early breast cancer patients admitted to the Department of Breast Surgery of Peking University Peoples Hospital from Oct 1, 2022 to Sep 13, 2023 was retrospectively analyzed.Results:According to the surgical method, the patients were divided into endoscopic surgery group (30 cases) and traditional surgery group (46 cases). There were no significant differences in the basic clinicopathological data, and the number of sentinel lymph nodes taken and axillary lymph nodes dissected between the patients in two groups (all P>0.05). Compared with that in traditional surgery group, the patients in endoscopic surgery group had longer operation time and more wound drainage volumes 3 days after surgery (all P<0.05). There was no significant differences in the probability of postoperative complications between the patients in two groups (all P>0.05), however, the proportion of nipple-areola complex necrosis in patients of endoscopic surgery group (10.0%) was lower than that of traditional surgery group (26.1%). Conclusions:The single-port insufflation technique-assisted endoscopic nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate prepectoral prosthesis breast reconstruction maximize the cosmetic effect. Under the premise of strict selection of indications, it can be an optional surgical method.

Objective:To analyze the gene mutation type and clinical phenotype of patients with PRRT2 mutation, and explore their relations with prognosis. Methods:A total of 18 patients with PRRT2 gene mutation (1 patient with novel mutation in PRRT2 gene, and 17 probands in 17 families with PRRT2 gene mutation) were enrolled in Department of Neurology, First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from January 2018 to July 2023. Serum of the patients was collected for whole exon sequencing, and mutation sites and types of PRRT2 gene were analyzed. SWISS-MODEL website was used to predict the changes in protein structure caused by PRRT2 gene mutation. The relations of gene mutation type and clinical phenotype with prognosis of these patients were analyzed. Results:(1) All 18 patients with PRRT2 gene mutation were heterozygous mutation, including 12 frameshift mutations, 5 missense mutations, and 1 integer mutation. The clinical phenotype included benign familial infantile epilepsy (BFIE) in 5 patients, epilepsy in 6 patients, exercise-induced paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD) in 5 patients, and infantile convulsion and choreoathetosis (ICCA) in 2 patients. A total of 8 mutation sites were found in 18 patients with PRRT2 gene mutation, of which 3 mutation sites have been reported, and 5 mutation sites have not been reported, including c.647(exon2)C>A, c.647(exon2)C>G, c.170(exon2)delC, c.981(exon3)C>G, and lossl(EXON: 2)(all). (2) Eighteen patients mainly accepted oxcarbazepine, levetiracetam, and sodium valproate in combination or monotherapy. Among them, 5 BFIE patients, 2 ICCA patients and 3 epilepsy patients were seizure-free after treatment. PKD patients did not respond well to oxcarbazepine. (3) Three frameshift mutations (mutation sites: c.649 [exon2]_c.650 [exon2] insC, c.640 [exon2]_c.641 [exon2] insC, and c.170 [exon2] delC) led to premature termination of protein translation, resulting in significant changes in protein structure. Four missense mutations (mutation sites: c.640[exo2]G>C, c.647[exon2]C>A, c.647[exon2]C>G, and c.981[exon3]C>G) had little effect on protein structure changes. No relation was found between changes of protein structure caused by different mutation types and prognosis. Conclusion:PRRT2 gene mutation patients with clinical phenotypes of BFIE and ICCA have good prognosis, but the mutation type is not related with the prognosis of patients.
