Background and objective Bone is a common site for metastasis in lung adenocarcinoma,but the mechanism behind lung adenocarcinoma bone metastasis is still unclear.And currently,there is a lack of easily traceable and stable lung adenocarcinoma bone metastasis cell models,which limits the research on the mechanism of lung adenocarcinoma bone metastasis.The establishment of human lung adenocarcinoma cell line that are highly metastatic to bone,labeled with green fluorescent proteins(GFP)and fireflies luciferase(LUC),along with transcriptomic characterization,would be beneficial for research on lung adenocarcinoma bone metastasis and provide new experimental methods.Methods The human lung ad-enocarcinoma cell line A549-GFP-LUC was injected into nude mice via the left ventricle to construct a bone metastasis model,and was domesticated in vivo for three consecutive times to obtain the human high bone metastasis lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549-GFP-LUC-BM3;cell counting kit-8(CCK-8),colony formation assay,scratch wound assays,Transwell assay and Western blot were used to compare the proliferation and invasion abilities of A549-GFP-LUC-BM3 with the parental cells.A549-GFP-LUC-BM3 cells and parental cells were further analyzed by transcriptomic sequencing.Results Human high-bone metastatic lung adenocarcinoma cells A549-GFP-LUC-BM3 was successfully established.Compared to parental cells,this cells exhibited a significantly higher incidence of bone metastasis and enhanced in vitro proliferation,migration,and invasion abilities.Transcriptomic sequencing results revealed that the A549-GFP-LUC-BM3 cell line had 2954 differentially expressed genes compared to the parental cells,with 1021 genes up-regulated and 1933 genes down-regulated.Gene Ontology(GO)functional enrichment analysis indicated that the differentially expressed genes were primarily localized in cellular components such as the cell periphery.The molecular functions identified as significantly enriched included signaling receptor activity,cal-cium ion binding,and extracellular matrix structural constituent.Additionally,the biological processes found to be enriched were cell adhesion and biological adhesion.The enrichment analysis conducted using the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)revealed that the differentially expressed genes were primarily involved in the metabolism of xenobiot-ics by cytochrome P450,retinol metabolism,drug metabolism-cytochrome P450,cell adhesion molecules,steroid hormone biosynthesis,and the nuclear factor kappa B(NF-κB)signaling pathway.Conclusion The highly bone-metastatic human lung adenocarcinoma cell line with GFP and luciferase double labeling was successfully established.The biological behavior and transcriptome sequencing of the cell line suggest that it has a high bone-metastatic potential.

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) combined with lower cervical fracture is often categorized into unstable fracture, with a high incidence of neurological injury and a high rate of disability and morbidity. As factors such as shoulder occlusion may affect the accuracy of X-ray imaging diagnosis, it is often easily misdiagnosed at the primary diagnosis. Non-operative treatment has complications such as bone nonunion and the possibility of secondary neurological damage, while the timing, access and choice of surgical treatment are still controversial. Currently, there are no clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of AS combined with lower cervical fracture with or without dislocation. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedics Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts to formulate Clinical guidelines for the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis combined with lower cervical fracture in adults ( version 2024) in accordance with the principles of evidence-based medicine, scientificity and practicality, in which 11 recommendations were put forward in terms of the diagnosis, imaging evaluation, typing and treatment, etc, to provide guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of AS combined with lower cervical fracture.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the treatment status of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in newly diagnosed patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in China.Methods:Data of chronic phase (CP) and accelerated phase (AP) CML patients diagnosed from January 2006 to December 2022 from 77 centers, ≥18 years old, and receiving initial imatinib, nilotinib, dasatinib or flumatinib-therapy within 6 months after diagnosis in China with complete data were retrospectively interrogated. The choice of initial TKI, current TKI medications, treatment switch and reasons, treatment responses and outcomes as well as the variables associated with them were analyzed.Results:6 893 patients in CP ( n=6 453, 93.6%) or AP ( n=440, 6.4%) receiving initial imatinib ( n=4 906, 71.2%), nilotinib ( n=1 157, 16.8%), dasatinib ( n=298, 4.3%) or flumatinib ( n=532, 7.2%) -therapy. With the median follow-up of 43 ( IQR 22-75) months, 1 581 (22.9%) patients switched TKI due to resistance ( n=1 055, 15.3%), intolerance ( n=248, 3.6%), pursuit of better efficacy ( n=168, 2.4%), economic or other reasons ( n=110, 1.6%). The frequency of switching TKI in AP patients was significantly-higher than that in CP patients (44.1% vs 21.5%, P<0.001), and more AP patients switched TKI due to resistance than CP patients (75.3% vs 66.1%, P=0.011). Multi-variable analyses showed that male, lower HGB concentration and ELTS intermediate/high-risk cohort were associated with lower cytogenetic and molecular responses rate and poor outcomes in CP patients; higher WBC count and initial the second-generation TKI treatment, the higher response rates; Ph + ACA at diagnosis, poor PFS. However, Sokal intermediate/high-risk cohort was only significantly-associated with lower CCyR and MMR rates and the poor PFS. Lower HGB concentration and larger spleen size were significantly-associated with the lower cytogenetic and molecular response rates in AP patients; initial the second-generation TKI treatment, the higher treatment response rates; lower PLT count, higher blasts and Ph + ACA, poorer TFS; Ph + ACA, poorer OS. Conclusion:At present, the vast majority of newly-diagnosed CML-CP or AP patients could benefit from TKI treatment in the long term with the good treatment responses and survival outcomes.

Objective:To explore the chain mediating effect of anxiety and flow experience on perceived stress and mobile phone addiction in nursing college students.Methods:In December 2021, a cross-sectional design survey was conducted on 4 179 freshmen and sophomores in a nursing college in Heilongjiang Province. The Chinese perceived stress scale, generalized anxiety disorder-7, flow state scale, and mobile phone addiction tendency scale were selected separately to assess perceived stress, anxiety symptoms, flow experience and mobile phone addiction. SPSS 26.0 software was used for descriptive analysis, independent sample t-test, Spearman correlation analysis, and AMOS 24.0 software was used for mediating effect test. Results:(1) Among the 3 050 nursing students, there were 714(23.41%) students who were addicted to mobile phones. (2) Spearman correlation analysis indicated that perceived stress(27.31±9.56) was positively correlated with anxiety(7.00(1.00, 10.00), r=0.441, P<0.05), flow experience((12.00±3.40), r=0.517, P<0.05), and mobile phone addiction((42.42±13.05), r=0.476, P<0.05).Anxiety was positively correlated with flow experience ( r=0.430, P<0.01) and mobile phone addiction ( r=0.538, P<0.01).Flow experience was positively correlated with mobile phone addiction ( r=0.490, P<0.01). (3) Anxiety and flow experience played seperate mediating and chain mediating roles between perceived stress and mobile phone addiction, accounting for 26.06%(0.165/0.633), 23.54%(0.149/0.633) and 3.48%(0.022/0.633) of the total effect. Conclusion:Perceived stress not only directly affects the mobile phone addiction of nursing students, but also indirectly affects mobile phone addiction through the independent and chain mediating effects of anxiety and flow experience.

BACKGROUND: The early stages of tumor bone metastasis are closely associated with changes in the vascular niche of the bone microenvironment, and abnormal angiogenesis accelerates tumor metastasis and progression. However, the effects of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cells reprogrammed by the bone microenvironment on the vascular niche within the bone microenvironment and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigates the effects and mechanisms of LUAD cells reprogrammed by the bone microenvironment on endothelial cells and angiogenesis, providing insights into the influence of tumor cells on the vascular niche within the bone microenvironment. METHODS: The culture media from bone-metastatic LUAD cell A549-GFP-LUC-BM3 (BM3-CM) and A549-GFP-LUC (A549-CM) were separately applied to human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC). A colony formation assay, scratch assay, and tube formation assay were conducted to evaluate the proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis of HUVEC. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was conducted to identify enriched pathways, while reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were performed to quantify hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), a protein that plays a crucial role in angiogenesis. Furthermore, the pivotal function of HGF and its underlying molecular mechanisms have been substantiated through the utilisation of recombinant proteins, neutralising antibodies, pathway inhibitors, immunofluorescence staining, and Western blot. RESULTS: BM3-CM demonstrated a more pronounced impact on the proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis of HUVEC compared to A549-CM. Bioinformatics analysis, combined with in vitro experiment, demonstrated that the secretory protein HGF was significantly elevated in BM3 cells and BM3-CM (P<0.05). The addition of HGF neutralizing antibodies to BM3-CM inhibited the promoting effect of BM3-CM on HUVEC (P<0.05), while the addition of recombinant HGF to A549-CM reproduced that promoting effect of BM3-CM on HUVEC (P<0.05). HGF can enhance the activation of YAP (Yes-associated protein) in HUVEC, and this promotion effect may be achieved by activating Src and activating YAP into the nucleus (P<0.05), but this effect can be inhibited by HGF neutralizing antibodies (P<0.05). Furthermore, the addition of recombinant HGF to A549-CM can recapitulate the YAP activation effect of BM3-CM in HUVEC (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Bone microenvironment reprogrammed bone-metastatic LUAD cells BM3 promote the proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis of HUVEC through the HGF/YAP axis, potentially playing a significant role in the modifications of the vascular niche.

Objective: To analyze and compare therapy responses, outcomes, and incidence of severe hematologic adverse events of flumatinib and imatinib in patients newly diagnosed with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) . Methods: Data of patients with chronic phase CML diagnosed between January 2006 and November 2022 from 76 centers, aged ≥18 years, and received initial flumatinib or imatinib therapy within 6 months after diagnosis in China were retrospectively interrogated. Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed to reduce the bias of the initial TKI selection, and the therapy responses and outcomes of patients receiving initial flumatinib or imatinib therapy were compared. Results: A total of 4 833 adult patients with CML receiving initial imatinib (n=4 380) or flumatinib (n=453) therapy were included in the study. In the imatinib cohort, the median follow-up time was 54 [interquartile range (IQR), 31-85] months, and the 7-year cumulative incidences of CCyR, MMR, MR(4), and MR(4.5) were 95.2%, 88.4%, 78.3%, and 63.0%, respectively. The 7-year FFS, PFS, and OS rates were 71.8%, 93.0%, and 96.9%, respectively. With the median follow-up of 18 (IQR, 13-25) months in the flumatinib cohort, the 2-year cumulative incidences of CCyR, MMR, MR(4), and MR(4.5) were 95.4%, 86.5%, 58.4%, and 46.6%, respectively. The 2-year FFS, PFS, and OS rates were 80.1%, 95.0%, and 99.5%, respectively. The PSM analysis indicated that patients receiving initial flumatinib therapy had significantly higher cumulative incidences of CCyR, MMR, MR(4), and MR(4.5) and higher probabilities of FFS than those receiving the initial imatinib therapy (all P<0.001), whereas the PFS (P=0.230) and OS (P=0.268) were comparable between the two cohorts. The incidence of severe hematologic adverse events (grade≥Ⅲ) was comparable in the two cohorts. Conclusion: Patients receiving initial flumatinib therapy had higher cumulative incidences of therapy responses and higher probability of FFS than those receiving initial imatinib therapy, whereas the incidence of severe hematologic adverse events was comparable between the two cohorts.

Methods:RNF43 gene was over-expressed and knockdown in mouse melanoma cells line B16-OVA by lentivirus infection; In vivo proliferation of mouse melanoma cells line B16-OVA in the Lv-Ctrl-OE, Lv-RNF43-OE, Lv-Ctrl-KD and Lv-RNF43-KD groups was detected by subcutaneous tumorigenesis assay in mice, and the expression levels of CD8 + T cells perforin and interferon γ (IFN-γ) in tumor immune microenvironment of melanoma were detected by flow cytometry; The expression levels of β-catenin and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) mRNA in cells were detected by quantitative real-time PCR assay; The effect of RNF43 on the transcriptional regulation of PD-L1 was detected by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay. Results:Stable RNF43 over-expressing and RNF43 knockdown mouse melanoma cells lines Lv-RNF43-OE and Lv-RNF43-KD were successfully constructed. The results of subcutaneous tumorigenesis experiment in mice showed that the tumor mass of the Lv-RNF43-OE group was (0.08±0.06) g, which was significantly smaller than that of the Lv-Ctrl-OE group [ (1.04±0.52) g], with a statistically significant difference ( t=3.71, P=0.032) ; The tumor mass of Lv-RNF43-KD group was (1.94±0.29) g, with no statistically significant difference ( t=-1.70, P=0.164) compared with that of the Lv-Ctrl-KD group (1.15±0.74) g. The flow cytometry results showed that the fluorescence intensity of CD8 + T cell perforin in the Lv-RNF43-OE group was 9 034 ± 2 628, which was significantly higher than that in the Lv-Ctrl-OE group (3 847 ±1 637), with a statistically significant difference ( t=-3.35, P=0.015) ; The fluorescence intensity of CD8 + T cell perforin in the Lv-RNF43-KD group was 966±247, which was significantly lower than that in the Lv-Ctrl-KD group (2 226±646), with a statistically significant difference ( t=3.16, P=0.034) ; The fluorescence intensity of IFN-γ of CD8 + T cell in the Lv-RNF43-OE group was 2 422±429, which was significantly higher than that of 1 688±324 in the Lv-Ctrl-OE group, with a statistically significant difference ( t=-2.73, P=0.034) ; The fluorescence intensity of IFN-γ of CD8 + T cell in the Lv-RNF43-KD group was 614 (454, 863), with a statistically significant difference ( Z=-1.96, P=0.050) compared with 1 159 (1 152, 2 068) in the Lv-Ctrl-KD group. The results of quantitative real-time PCR showed that the relative expression level of β-catenin mRNA in the Lv-RNF43-OE group was 0.67±0.16, which was significantly lower than that of 1.00±0.11 in the Lv-Ctrl-OE group, with a statistically significant difference ( t=2.98, P=0.041) ; The relative expression level of PD-L1 mRNA in the Lv-RNF43-OE group was 0.32±0.09, which was significantly lower than that of 1.00±0.09 in the Lv-Ctrl-OE group, with a statistically significant difference ( t=9.13, P=0.001). The results of the dual-luciferase reporter gene assay showed that the PD-L1 promoter luciferase activity in the pCMV6-NC, RNF43, RNF43+β-catenin and β-catenin groups were 1.00±0.00, 0.84±0.00, 1.49±0.00 and 1.57±0.03 ( F=2 218.33, P<0.001). Further pairwise comparison showed that compared with the pCMV6-NC group, PD-L1 promoter luciferase activity was significantly lower in the RNF43 group ( P<0.001) and significantly higher in the RNF43+β-catenin and β-catenin groups ( P<0.001; P=0.003) ; compared with the RNF43 group, PD-L1 promoter luciferase activity was significantly higher in the RNF43+β-catenin group ( P<0.001) . Conclusion:RNF43 may reduce the expression of PD-L1 mRNA in melanoma by inhibiting the expression of β-catenin and promote CD8 + T cell-mediated anti-tumor immune reaction.

The acute combination fractures of the atlas and axis in adults have a higher rate of neurological injury and early death compared with atlas or axial fractures alone. Currently, the diagnosis and treatment choices of acute combination fractures of the atlas and axis in adults are controversial because of the lack of standards for implementation. Non-operative treatments have a high incidence of bone nonunion and complications, while surgeries may easily lead to the injury of the vertebral artery, spinal cord and nerve root. At present, there are no evidence-based Chinese guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of acute combination fractures of the atlas and axis in adults. To provide orthopedic surgeons with the most up-to-date and effective information in treating acute combination fractures of the atlas and axis in adults, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the field of spinal trauma to develop the Evidence-based guideline for clinical diagnosis and treatment of acute combination fractures of the atlas and axis in adults ( version 2023) by referring to the "Management of acute combination fractures of the atlas and axis in adults" published by American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS)/Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS) in 2013 and the relevant Chinese and English literatures. Ten recommendations were made concerning the radiological diagnosis, stability judgment, treatment rules, treatment options and complications based on medical evidence, aiming to provide a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of acute combination fractures of the atlas and axis in adults.
