Objective By analyzing the gene expression data in TCGA-THCA dataset,the differentially expressed genes related to thyroid carcinoma(THCA)were identified,a risk model was construct,and the role of CCL chemokine family in the development of THCA and its effect on the tumor immune microenvironment were investigated.Methods TCGA-THCA dataset was downloaded and analyzed,including 512 cancer samples and 59 adjacent tissue samples.The differentially expressed genes were obtained by taking the intersection of R packages of differential analysis,and the principal component analysis(PCA),Gene Ontology(GO),and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)enrichment analysis were performed.CellMarker,monocle,and CellChat were used to explore the Cell atlas,pseudotemporal trajectory,and cellular communication.Results A total of 698 up-regulated genes and 285 down-regulated genes were identified.PCA showed that there were significant differences in gene expression patterns between the THCA group and the normal group.GO and KEGG enrichment analysis revealed that differentially expressed genes were mainly involved in biological processes such as extracellular matrix tissue,cell junction assembly,and complement system.The results of risk model showed that the CCL genes was significantly correlated with poor prognosis(P=0.005).Single cell analysis revealed that fibroblasts played a key role in the development of THCA,and the expression of CCL gene was significantly up-regulated in fibroblasts(P<0.05).The results of pseudotemporal trajectory analysis showed that CCL gene was differentially expressed during cellular differentiation;the results of cellular communication analysis showed that the interaction between fibroblasts and endothelial cells is crucial in the tumor microenvironment.Conclusion The expression of CCL chemokine family in THCA is closely related to poor prognosis,especially CCL4,which activates the downstream signaling pathways by interacts with CCR receptors of cancer-associated fibroblasts,thereby promoting the development of cancer.These findings provide novel insights for understanding the role of CCL chemokine family in THCA and its regulation of the tumor immune microenvironment.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of hysteroscopic combined with laparoscopic repair and reconstruction of diverticulum in the treatment of post-cesarean section uterine diverticulum(PCSD).Methods A total of 150 patients with PCSD admitted to the department of gynaecology of our hospital from January 2020 to February 2022 were selected and divided into the transvaginal group(transvaginal repair of diverticulum)and the combined group(hysteroscopic combined with laparoscopic repair and reconstruction of diverticulum)according to different surgical plans,with 75 cases in each group.The general condition of surgery,days of menstrual period,thickness of muscular layer,inflammation-related factor levels,complications and pregnancy in patients with birth plan were recorded in both groups.Results The operation time of patients in the combined group was longer than that in the transvaginal group,and the time of anal exhaustion and postoperative hospital stay of patients in the combined group were shorter than those in the transvaginal group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05);There was no significant difference in terms of the intraoperative bleeding volume of patients between the two groups(P>0.05).The high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP),interleukin-4(IL-4),interleukin-8(IL-8),and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)7 days after surgery of patients were lower in both groups compared with those before surgery,and the combined group was lower than the transvaginal group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Compared with that before the surgery,the days of menstrual period of patietns in both groups 6 and 12 months after the surgery decreased,and the thickness of muscular layer increased,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05);while no statistically significant difference was found in terms of the days of menstrual period or thickness of muscular layer of patients 6 and 12 months after surgery between the two groups(P>0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of cumulative complications such as incision infection,hyponatraemia,bladder injury and vaginal infection between the two groups(P>0.05).The intrauterine pregnancy rate of patients with birth plan and the full-term pregnancy rate in the combined group were higher than those in the transvaginal group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the abortion rate or preterm birth rate between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion The hysteroscopic combined with laparoscopic repair and reconstruction of diverticulum for patients with PCSD has a fast postoperative recovery,a short hospital stay,and can increase the pregnancy rate of patients with birth plan.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the radial-ulnar ratio,lateral lunate angle of radius and height loss of radius after palmar locking plate internal fixation for distal radius fractures.Methods A total of 158 patients with distal radius fractures treated with palmar locking plate internal fixation in our hospital from March 2020 to September 2023 were selected.According to the height of radius loss after operation,the patients were divided into non-radius loss group(41 cases,<2 mm),mild to moderate radius loss group(32 cases,2 to 5 mm)and severe radius loss group(85 cases,>5 mm),and the clinical data of patients in the three groups were compared.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors affecting height loss of radius.Locally weighted scatterplot smoothing(LOWESS)method was used to analyze the two-dimensional curve relationship of continuous variables.Restricted cubic spline(RCS)and threshold effect were used to analyze the relationship between the radial-ulnar ratio,lateral lunate angle of radius and height loss of radius after operation.Results The age of patients in the severe radius loss group was significantly higher than those in the non-radius loss group and the mild to moderate radius loss group(P<0.05),and the age of patients in the mild to moderate radius loss group was significantly higher than that in the non-radius loss group(P<0.05).Female patients and patients with osteoporosis and fracture type C were more likely to have height loss of radius(P<0.05).There were significant differences in patient-rated wrist evaluation(PRWE)score,disabilities of the arm,shoulder and hand(DASH)score,dorsal extension,palmar curvature,ulnar deviation,radial deviation,radial-ulnar ratio,and lateral lunate angle of radius of patients at 3 and 6 months after operation among three groups(P<0.001).The first prediction model based on age,gender,osteoporosis,fracture type,PRWE score,DASH score,dorsal extension,palmar curvature,ulnar deviation,and radial deviation and the second prediction model based on age,gender,osteoporosis,fracture type,PRWE score,DASH score,dorsal extension,palmar curvature,ulnar deviation,radial deviation,radial-ulnar ratio,and lateral lunate angle of radius were subjected to Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed good goodness of fit.LOWESS analysis showed that age,PRWE score,DASH score,dorsal extension,palmar curvature,ulnar deviation,radial deviation,radial-ulnar ratio,and lateral lunate angle of radius had a certain nonlinear relationship with the height loss of radius.RCS and threshold effect analysis showed that the probability of postoperative radius loss increased with the increase of radial-ulnar ratio in patients with distal radius fractures and radial-ulnar ratio≥13.254(P<0.001).The probability of postoperative radius loss decreased with the increase of the lateral lunate angle of radius in patients with distal radius fractures and lateral lunate angle of radius≤11.068°(P<0.001).Conclusion There was a positive correlation between the radial-ulnar ratio and the height loss of radius,and a negative correlation between the lateral lunate angle of radius and the height loss of radius after palmar locking plate internal fixation for distal radius fractures.
