Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features, molecular pathology characteristics, and prognosis of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) exhibiting co-expression of p40 and thyroid transcription factor1 (TTF1).Methods:Clinical and pathological data of six NSCLC cases with co-expression of p40 and TTF1 diagnosed at the First People′s Hospital of Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou, China from January 2016 to December 2023 were collected. Relevant literature was also reviewed.Results:NSCLC with co-expression of p40 and TTF1 commonly occurred in male smokers and had been in stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ when diagnosis. Microscopic examination revealed that the tumor cells were arranged in solid nests and sheets with marked atypia and visible mitotic figures. There was no prominent evidence of keratinization or glandular formation. The tumor cells diffusely co-expressed p40 and TTF1, exhibiting a dual immunophenotype characteristic of both squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. Molecular testing of four NSCLC co-expressing p40 and TTF1 revealed the presence of common EGFR mutations, as well as mutations of NRAS (mutation rate of 2.09%), EML4-ALK (mutation rate of 24.77%), and PIK3CA (exon 10 c.1658 G>C p.S553T, mutation rate of 4.32%). All six tumors were poorly differentiated, highly invasive, and associated with poor prognosis. Four of the six patients experienced widespread metastasis and died within 7 to 30 months after the diagnosis or initial treatment.Conclusions:NSCLC with co-expression of p40 and TTF1 exhibits distinct clinicopathological features, immunophenotypes, molecular alterations, and clinical outcomes, characterized by rapid progression and poor prognosis. Pathologists should be vigilant in recognizing this entity to avoid misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.

Sleep deprivation (SD) has a profound impact on the central nervous system, resulting in an array of mood disorders, including depression and anxiety. Despite this, the dynamic alterations in neuronal activity during sleep deprivation have not been extensively investigated. While some researchers propose that sleep deprivation diminishes neuronal activity, thereby leading to depression. Others argue that short-term sleep deprivation enhances neuronal activity and dendritic spine density, potentially yielding antidepressant effects. In this study, a two-photon microscope was utilized to examine the calcium transients of anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) neurons in awake SD mice in vivo at 24-hour intervals. It was observed that SD reduced the frequency and amplitude of Ca2+ transients while increasing the proportions of inactive neurons. Following the cessation of sleep deprivation, neuronal calcium transients demonstrated a gradual recovery. Moreover, whole-cell patch-clamp recordings revealed a significant decrease in the frequency of spontaneous excitatory post-synaptic current (sEPSC) after SD. The investigation also assessed several oxidative stress parameters, finding that sleep deprivation substantially elevated the level of malondialdehyde (MDA), while simultaneously decreasing the expression of Nuclear Factor erythroid 2-Related Factor 2 (Nrf2) and activities of Superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the ACC. Importantly, the administration of gallic acid (GA) notably mitigated the decline of calcium transients in ACC neurons. GA was also shown to alleviate oxidative stress in the brain and improve cognitive impairment caused by sleep deprivation. These findings indicate that the calcium transients of ACC neurons experience a continuous decline during sleep deprivation, a process that is reversible. GA may serve as a potential candidate agent for the prevention and treatment of cognitive impairment induced by sleep deprivation.

Objective:To study the value of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) and coronary flow reserve (CFR) combined with coronary artery calcium score (CACS) in the diagnosis of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD).Methods:From January 2019 to December 2020, 96 confirmed or suspective CAD patients (65 males, 31 females; age: 30-81 years) who completed rest/stress MPI, CFR and CACS defection in Fuwai Central China Cardiovascular Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Coronary angiography (CAG) was used as the diagnostic standard to calculate the sensitivity and accuracy of MPI, CFR and MPI/CFR combined with CACS in the diagnosis of CAD. The χ2 test was used to compare the diagnostic efficiency of different methods. Results:The diagnostic sensitivity of MPI was 76.06%(54/71), and the accuracy was 75.00%(72/96), while the sensitivity increased to 97.18%(69/71; χ2=13.67, P<0.001) and the accuracy increased to 87.50%(84/96; χ2=4.92, P=0.020) with significant differences after combined with CACS. The sensitivity and accuracy of CFR were 91.55%(65/71)and 87.50%(84/96), which increased to 97.18%(69/71; χ2=2.12, P=0.137) and 89.58%(86/96; χ2=0.21, P=0.411) with no significant differences after combined with CACS. The sensitivity of MPI in the diagnosis of three-vessel CAD was 70.00%(21/30), which increased to 100%(30/30; χ2=7.75, P=0.004) after combined with CACS; while the sensitivity of MPI combined with CACS in the diagnosis of single-vessel and double-vessel CAD were not significantly improved ( χ2 values: 3.29, 1.51, P values: 0.114, 0.416). Conclusion:The combination of MPI and CACS can significantly improve the diagnostic efficiency of CAD, contributed by the improvement of the diagnostic sensitivity in three-vessel disease; whereas the diagnostic efficiency of CFR for CAD is not significantly improved after combined with CACS.

The efficient management of wounds is the focus of current research. In addition to conventional wound management and necessary surgery, the role of pro-healing drugs in wound treatment has gradually been emphasized. Platelet-rich blood products that is rich in a variety of biologically active molecules are considered as a low-cost and safe therapy in promoting tissue healing, and have great development prospects in the field of regenerative medicine. However, due to the lack of standard preparation and management and the unstable activities of the biomolecules in them, the therapeutic effects of platelet-rich blood products are uneven. In order to solve these problems, researches related to the protection and delivery of biologically active molecules in platelet-rich blood products by biomaterials have gradually increased in recent years, which is also one of the latest trends in wound treatment research. This article first briefly introduces the types of platelet-rich blood products, then outlines the latest research progress achieved by their combination with biomaterials, and finally summarizes the research progress and future research directions of the combination approach in wound treatment.
