OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect and safety of ciprofol combined with local anesthesia on elderly patients undergoing hemorrhoidectomy. METHODS A total of 108 elderly patients who underwent hemorrhoidectomy at the Department of Proctology， Ruikang Hospital Affiliated to Guangxi University of Chinese Medicine from February 2023 to June 2024， were included. The patients were randomly divided into the etomidate group （54 cases） and the ciprofol group （54 cases） based on a computer-generated random sequence. One patient with intraoperative bleeding and one who refused postoperative examination were excluded， resulting in a final total of 106 patients completing this trial （52 in the etomidate group and 54 in the ciprofol group）. The two groups of patients underwent hemorrhoidectomy under local anesthesia with sedative assistance， receiving either etomidate at 0.2 mg/kg or ciprofol at 0.3 mg/kg combined with sufentanil at 0.1 μg/kg. The sedation success rate， induction time， recovery time， operation time and hemodynamic parameters [heart rate （HR）， mean arterial pressure （MAP）， pulse oxygen saturation （SpO2） and respiratory rate （RR）] were observed at baseline （T0）， after successful induction of anesthesia （T1）， 10 minutes after the start of surgery （T2）， and awakening （T3）. Additionally， the levels of oxidative stress markers [malondialdehyde （MDA） and superoxide dismutase （SOD）] were measured at T0， T2 and T3. The occurrence of adverse reactions was also recorded. RESULTS The induction time of the ciprofol group was significantly shorter than that of the etomidate group （P＜0.05）， while the recovery time was significantly longer in the ciprofol group compared to the etomidate group （P＜0.05）. AtT1 and T2， HR， MAP and RR of two groups were significantly lower compared to the same group at T0 （P＜0.05）. However， no significant differences were observed in the hemodynamic parameters at each time point between the two groups （P＞0.05）. At T2 and T3， the MDA levels in both groups were significantly higher than at T0， while the SOD levels were significantly lower than the same group at T0； the ciprofol group showed significantly better outcomes than the etomidate group at the same time points （P＜0.05）. The proportion of patients with intraoperative somatic movements was significantly lower in the ciprofol group compared to the etomidate group （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS When ciprofol is used in elderly patients undergoing hemorrhoidectomy， it demonstrates certain advantages over etomidate in maintaining hemodynamic stability and reducing oxidative stress. Additionally， ciprofol has higher safety.

Objective:To understand the infection status, epidemiological characteristics and drug resistance of Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) in Shanghai and provide evidence for the disease surveillance. Methods:The epidemiological data of diarrhea cases in Shanghai from 2016 to 2022 were collected from Shanghai Diarrhea Comprehensive Surveillance System, and stool samples were collected from the cases for DEC detection. The drug resistance data was obtained from Chinese Pathogen Identification Network. Statistical analysis was conducted by using χ2 and fisher test. Results:In 24 883 diarrhea cases detected during 2016-2022, the DEC positive rate was 9.13% (2 271/24 883), the single DEC positive rate was 8.83% (2 197/24 883) and the mixed DEC positive rate was 0.30% (74/24 883). The main type of DEC was Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) [4.33% (1 077/24 883)]. The DEC positive rate was highest in people aged ≤5 years 18.48% (22/119). The annual peak of DEC positive rate was observed during July - September [5.91% (1 470/24 883)]. The DEC positive rate were 9.47% (554/5 847) and 9.02% (1 717/19 036) in urban area and in suburbs, respectively, Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) [3.98% (233/5 847)] and ETEC [4.56% (868/19 036)] were mainly detected. From 2016 to 2019, the DEC positive rate was 9.42% (1 821/19 330), while it was 8.10% (450/5 553) from 2020 to 2022, the main DEC types were ETEC (4.87%, 941/19 330) and EAEC (4.70%, 261/5 553). The multi-drug resistance rate was 40.21% (618/1 537). The top three antibiotics with high drug resistance rates were ampicillin [64.74% (995/1 537)], nalidixic acid [58.49% (899/1 537)] and tetracycline [45.09% (693/1 537)]. Conclusions:Compared with 2016- 2019, a decrease in DEC detection rate was observed during 2020-2022, and the main type of DEC detected shifted from ETEC to EAEC. The prevalence of multi-drug resistance was severe. Therefore, it is necessary to further strengthen the surveillance for DEC drug resistance and standardize the use of clinical antibiotics.

Objective To understand the status quo of nutrition working ability in primary medical and health institutions of Chongqing City.Methods Three primary medical institutions were randomly extracted from each of 39 districts and counties of Chongqing City,and Primary Nutrition Service Capacity Survey Form and Nutrition Work Capacity Survey System were adopted to conduct the questionnaire survey.Then the sur-vey results were analyzed.Results A total of 117 primary medical institutions were surveyed,in which 86 in-stitutions(73.50％)undertook the nutritional work.The number of engaging the nutrition full-time work in the units was 0(0,0).Among the nutritional staff,the age in 164 persons was 30-＜40 years old,accounting for 48.38％,180 persons(53.10％)had the primary title,232 persons(68.44％)had the bachelor degree,287 persons(84.66％)had the medical related background,but only 2 persons had the nutritional related profes-sional background.There were 57(48.72％),75(64.10％),77(65.81％)primary medical institutions in carry-ing out the nutrition and health management of pregnant women,children aged 0-6 years old and elderly peo-ple,34 institutions(29.10％)in carrying out nutritional monitoring,and 17 institutions(14.50％)had the clinical nutrition work ability.Compared with the villages and towns,the proportion of urban area primary medical institutions in carrying out the blood routine items in children aged 0-6 years old,hemoglobin,blood routine and urine routine items in elderly people was higher,the number of published popular science works on nutrition was more,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion The nutrition work system of primary medi-cal institutions in Chongqing City is temporarily imperfect,the specialized persons still lack and the nutritional health service level needs to be further strengthened.

Objective This study aims at establishing a teaching catalog and content for breast rare dis-eases and developing the syllabus for the breast rare disease using integrated multimodality of case-/problem-/resource-based learning(CBL+PBL+RBL).Methods By conducting bibliometrics co-occurrence analysis,we collected 6291 articles on breast rare disease published from January,1975 to June,2024.Additionally,we re-trieved the Textbook on Rare Diseases,the Catalog of Chinese Rare Disease,and Second Batch of Rare Dis-ease Catalog and then decided the teaching content.Results From 16,387 keywords,1000(6.1％)keywords were identified through co-occurrence analysis,including 50(0.3％)candidate diseases.These were classified into three categories:rare primary breast diseases,rare genetic mutation-related diseases associated with breast cancer,and rare systemic multi-system diseases involving the breast.From the candidate list,20(0.1％)rare primary breast diseases were further selected for their notable clinical teaching significance,and significant multi-systemic diseases affecting the breast,whether related to gene mutations or not.Teaching plans were draf-ted using a diversified parallel teaching approaches,taking into account the characteristics of different diseases and the focus of different teaching methods.Conclusions This study initiated the development of the teaching content for breast rare diseases and developed the teaching syllabus using the CBL+PBL+RBL integrated multi teaching model and targeting each rare breast disease for the critical point for teaching.

The geographical origin of forensic evidence provides important information for crime investigation and solving cases,and is one of the key elements of criminal cases.Previous studies have shown significant differences in the distribution of microorganisms in different regions.Detecting environmental DNA samples and inferring the geographical and spatial sources can provide clues and evidence for case handling.However,due to the diversity of criminal environments and the trace amount of frequently encountered exhibits,stable and reliable technical methods for inferring geographical origin from environmental DNA are not yet available.This article summarizes the sample collection and DNA extraction methods for four types of environmental samples:dust,soil,water,and air.It compares the differences between amplicon sequencing and metagenomic sequencing in studying environmental biological populations,outlines the full process of high-throughput sequencing-based data analysis,and focuses on reviewing the research progress in inferring geographical sources of environmental samples based on bacteria,fungi,and other eukaryotes,to provide references for establishing sequencing and analysis methods for environmental DNA in forensic DNA laboratories and exploring environmental DNA information for forensic applications.

Objective : To compare the diagnostic efficacy of three screening methods，including the epidemiological survey and the new gastric cancer scoring system proposed in the Expert Consensus Opinion on Early Gastric Cancer Screening Process in China ( Shanghai，2017) ，and the Kyoto classification score for screening gastric in early gastric cancer diagnosis． Methods: Patients who underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection and were pathologically confirmed were included in the gastric cancer group，patients with non-gastric cancer in the same period were consecutively included in the control group．Questionnaires and serological tests were performed in all enrolled patients，and the endoscopic presentations was recorded according to the classification of Kyoto gastritis during gastroscopy．The risk stratification and the detection rates of gastric cancer were estimated by different screening methods，and the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) of subjects diagnosed with each screening method alone and in combination were plotted to compare the area under the ROC curve (AUC) and the diagnostic efficacy . Results: Among all participants，84 were patients with gastric cancer and 120 were normal people without gastric cancer．The Kyoto risk score had the highest diagnostic value (AUC = 0. 79) among the others，and its sensitivity and specificity were 72. 6% and 79. 1% ，respectively，but the combined diagnosis of different methods did not significantly improve the diagnostic efficacy．The Kyoto risk score had a more discriminative value in the medium to high-risk group delineated by the new scoring system． Conclusion The Kyoto risk score has high clinical value in the diagnosis of early gastric cancer and can be used in conjunction with the new scoring system for early gastric cancer risk assessment.

Objective:To examine the expression of core clock genes in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and the level of circadian disturbance-related proteins in the serum of chronic pancreatitis (CP) patients with pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI), and explore their potential diagnostic value in clinical practice.Methods:The peripheral blood samples and related clinical data from 68 patients diagnosed with CP in Shanghai General Hospital from Jan 2015 to Jan 2022 were collected. Peripheral blood samples from 30 healthy individuals were used for control. The M-ANNHEIM classification system was used to stratify the clinical stages of patients with CP. The mRNA expression of the core clock genes, including Clock, Bmal1, Per1/2/3 and Cry1/2 in PBMCs was analyzed using realtime qPCR, and the expression of circadian disturbance-related proteins like TrkB, CD 36 and Rbp in serum was measured with ELISA. The receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC) and the area under curve (AUC) was used to test the efficiency for diagnozing PEI. Results:The mRNA expression of Per1 in CP patients was significantly decreased (0.76 vs 1, P<0.05), and the AUC for diagnozing PEI was 0.744 (95% CI 0.628-0.860), with a cut-off value of 0.72; and the sensitivity and specificity was 84.8% and 57.1%, respectively. The protein abundance of serum CD 36 was significantly increased in CP patients (33.85±19.74ng/ml vs 24.71±11.53 ng/ml, P<0.05); the AUC for diagnozing PEI was 0.834 (95% CI 0.735-0.932), with a cut-off value of 29.75 pg/ml; and the sensitivity and specificity was 74.3% and 84.8%, respectively. The expression of CD 36 was increased with the increase of CP clinical stage, and there were statistically significant differences between either two stages (all P value <0.05). The mRNA expression of Per1 in patients with CP in Stage Ⅰ was significantly higher than that in patients with CP in Stage Ⅱ or Ⅲ, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05), but no statistical difference was found between Stage Ⅱ and Stage Ⅲ. Conclusions:The decreased expression of Per1 mRNA in PBMCs and increased level of CD 36 in serum are significantly related to the occurrence of PEI in CP, suggesting that they may have potential value for diagnozing PEI and guiding the clinical practice.

The ability of tumor cells to sustain continuous proliferation is one of the major characteristics of cancer. The activation of oncogenes and the mutation or inactivation of tumor suppressor genes ensure the rapid proliferation of tumor cells. The PI3K-Akt-mTOR axis is one of the most frequently modified signaling pathways whose activation sustains cancer growth. Unsurprisingly, it is also one of the most commonly attempted targets for cancer therapy. FK506 binding protein 8 (FKBP8) is an intrinsic inhibitor of mTOR kinase that also exerts an anti-apoptotic function. We aimed to explain these contradictory aspects of FKBP8 in cancer by identifying a "switch" type regulator. We identified through immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis that the mitochondrial protein prohibitin 1 (PHB1) specifically interacts with FKBP8. Furthermore, the downregulation of PHB1 inhibited the proliferation of ovarian cancer cells and the mTOR signaling pathway, whereas the FKBP8 level in the mitochondria was substantially reduced. Moreover, concomitant with these changes, the interaction between FKBP8 and mTOR substantially increased in the absence of PHB1. Collectively, our finding highlights PHB1 as a potential regulator of FKBP8 because of its subcellular localization and mTOR regulating role.
