Intestinal fibrosis is a significant clinical challenge in inflammatory bowel diseases, but no effective anti-fibrotic therapy is currently available. Glucagon receptor (GCGR) and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP1R) are both peptide hormone receptors involved in energy metabolism of epithelial cells. However, their role in intestinal fibrosis and the underlying mechanisms remain largely unexplored. Herein GCGR and GLP1R were found to be reduced in the stenotic ileum of patients with Crohn's disease as well as in the fibrotic colon of mice with chronic colitis. The downregulation of GCGR and GLP1R led to the accumulation of the metabolic byproduct lactate, resulting in histone H3K9 lactylation and exacerbated intestinal fibrosis through epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Dual activating GCGR and GLP1R by peptide 1907B reduced the H3K9 lactylation in epithelial cells and ameliorated intestinal fibrosis in vivo. We uncovered the role of GCGR/GLP1R in regulating EMT involved in intestinal fibrosis via histone lactylation. Simultaneously activating GCGR/GLP1R with the novel dual agonist peptide 1907B holds promise as a treatment strategy for alleviating intestinal fibrosis.

The efficacy and safety of venetoclax combined with reduced dose HAD regimen in the treatment of newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) was investigated. From May 2022 to January 2023, a total of 25 patients with newly diagnosed AML were treated with venetoclax combined with reduced-dose HAD regimen as induction therapy. Accoding to the 2017 ELN recommendations, 13 (52.0%) in favoable, 3 (12.0%) in intemediate, and 9 (36.0%) in adverse. The ORR (CR rate+PR rate) was 88.0%, and the CR rate was 84.0%. By May 30, 2023, with a median follow-up of 9 months, 1 year overall survival, event-free survival, and relapse-free survival were 100%, 94.7%, and 94.7%, respectively. All patients received 1-5 cycles of consolidation therapy and two median cycles. Treatment with venetoclax and reduced dose of HAD regimen in the treatment of patients with newly diagnosed AML was high effective and safe.

Objective:To investigate the incidence and risk factors of deep vein thrombosis(DVT)in patients with rheumatoid arthritis(RA).Methods:The clinical data of RA patients who were hospi-talized in the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology of Aerospace Center Hospital from May 2015 to September 2021 was retrospectively analyzed,including demographic characteristics,concomitant diseases,laboratory examinations(blood routine,biochemistry,coagulation,inflammatory markers,rheumatoid factor,antiphospholipid antibodies and lupus anticoagulant,etc.)and treatment regimens.The patients were compared according to the presence or absence of DVT,and the t test,Mann-Whitney U test or Chi-square test were applied to screen for relevant factors for DVT,followed by Logistic regres-sion analysis to determine risk factors for DVT in patients with RA.Results:The incidence of DVT in the RA patients was 9.6％(31/322);the median age of RA in DVT group was significantly older than that in non-DVT group[64(54,71)years vs.50(25,75)years,P＜0.001];the level of disease activity score using 28 joints(DAS28)-erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR)in DVT group was higher than that in non-DVT group[5.2(4.5,6.7)vs.4.5(4.5,5.0),P＜0.001];the incidence of hypertension,chronic kidney disease,fracture or surgery history within 3 months,and varicose veins of the lower ex-tremities in DVT group was higher than that in non-DVT group(P＜0.001).The levels of hemoglobin and albumin in DVT group were significantly lower than that in non-DVT group(P=0.009,P=0.004),while the D-dimer level and rheumatoid factor positive rate in DVT group were significantly higher than that in non-DVT group(P＜0.001).The use rate of glucocorticoid in DVT group was higher than that in non-DVT group(P=0.009).Logistic regression analysis showed that the age(OR=1.093,P＜0.001),chronic kidney disease(OR=7.955,P=0.005),fracture or surgery history with-in 3 months(OR=34.658,P=0.002),DAS28-ESR(OR=1.475,P=0.009),and the use of glu-cocorticoid(OR=5.916,P=0.003)were independent risk factors for DVT in RA patients.Conclu-sion:The incidence of DVT in hospitalized RA patients was significantly increased,in addition to tradi-tional factors,such as age and chronic kidney disease,increased DAS28-ESR level and the use of glu-cocorticoid were also independent risk factors for DVT.

Objective:To investigate the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with esophageal cancer (EC).Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 8 458 EC patients who were admitted to Sichuan Cancer Hospital from January 2017 to December 2021 were collected. There were 6 923 males and 1 535 females, aged (64±9)years. There were 3 187 patients undergoing surgical treatment, and 5 271 cases undergoing non-surgical treatment. Observation indicators: (1) incidence of VTE in EC patients; (2) treatment and outcomes of patients with VTE. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range), and comparison between groups was analyzed using the nonparameter rank sum test. Count data were expressed as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Comparison of ordinal data was analyzed using the nonparameter rank sum test. Results:(1) Incidence of VTE in EC patients. Of 8 458 EC patients, 175 cases developed VTE, with an incidence rate of 2.069%(175/8 458). Among 175 VTE patients, there were 164 cases of deep venous thrombosis (DVT), 4 cases of pulmonary embolism (PE), 7 cases of DVT and PE. There were 59 surgical patients and 116 non-surgical patients. There was no significant difference in thrombus type between surgical and non-surgical EC patients with VTE ( χ2=1.95, P>0.05). Of 3 187 surgical patients, the incidence of VTE was 1.851%(59/3 187), including an incidence of 0.157%(5/3 187) of PE. PE accounted for 8.475%(5/59) of surgical patients with VTE. Of 5 271 non-surgical patients, the incidence of VTE was 2.201%(116/5 271), including an incidence of 0.114%(6/5 271) of PE. PE accounted for 5.172%(6/116) of non-surgical patients with VTE. There was no significant difference in the incidence of VTE or PE between surgical patients and non-surgical patients ( χ2=1.20, 0.05, P>0.05). (2) Treatment and outcomes of patients with VTE. Among 175 EC patients with VTE, 163 cases underwent drug treatment, and 12 cases did not receive treatment. Among 163 cases with drug therapy, 158 cases underwent anticoagulant therapy, 5 cases were treated with thrombolysis. All the 163 patients were improved and discharged from hospital. Conclusions:The incidence of VTE in patients with EC is relatively low, as 2.069%. There is no significant difference in the incidence of VTE or thrombus type between surgical EC patients and non-surgical EC patients.

Objective To compare the safety and efficacy of SpyGlass DS system laser lithotripsy and conventional fractional treatment under endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP)in treatment of large calculus of common bile duct.Method 38 patients with large calculus of common bile duct(>2 cm)during ERCP from November 2021 to October 2023 were selected and divided into experimental group(n=18)and control group(n=20).The experimental group was treated with SpyGlass DS system combined with laser lithotripsy.The patients in the control group were treated with split treatment(the first biliary stent was placed,and the calculus of common bile duct were removed under conventional ERCP again 3 months later).The success rate of stone clearance and the incidence of complications after ERCP were compared between the two groups.Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography(MRCP)was performed 3 months after surgery to determine whether there were residual calculus of common bile duct.Results The surgical time of the experimental group was longer than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the stone clearance rate and the incidence of short-term complications between the two groups(P>0.05).The incidence of long-term complications in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group,but the difference was not statistically significant(P=0.090).Conclusion SpyGlass DS guided laser lithotripsy is effective and safe for the treatment of large calculus of common bile duct,with a low recurrence rate.

Health insurance fund regulation (HIFR) is a vital issue in the modernization of healthcare security governance, with its importance as a primary task of the healthcare security department continually reinforced in policy practice. This study focused on the 22 specialized policies issued by the National Healthcare Security Administration from its establishment in 2018 to March 2024, deeply analyzed their issue characteristics, and summarized the evolutionary trends of policy changes, as well as the knowledge production patterns that existed in the series of policy formulation, implementation, and feedback processes. Our analysis revealed that the diverse issue characteristics had led to heterogeneous directions in HIFR policies. The policy development process presented distinct composite evolutionary trends, mainly manifested in four aspects: the integration of regulatory system and content, the convergence of professional and societal forces, the parallelism of special governance and regular supervision, and the complementarity of conventional and emerging methods. Additionally, the study demonstrated that the knowledge production embedded in policy evolution encompassed four different dimensions: problem rectification, norm setting, pilot experience, and technical absorption. Together with issue characteristics and policy evolution, they formed an integrated, dynamic, and open system of knowledge production, continuously promoting the renewal and iteration of regulation policies.

Objective:To explore the relationship between liver iron deposition and steatosis in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) through MRI.Methods:163 cases of liver biopsy underwent MRI examination. R2* was used to measure liver iron content. Dixon-based proton density fat fraction (PDFF) was used to measure liver fat content. One-way ANOVA, r-correlation, ROC curve, and others were used to assess the relationship between clinical case data, serological indices, and imaging results in accordance with the pathological results of the liver biopsy.Results:R2* gradually increased as the pathological steatosis grade rose. The R2* that corresponded to no steatosis (< 5%), mild steatosis (14.95%±8.55%), moderate steatosis (46.30%±9.32%), and severe steatosis (73.86%±6.35%) were 27.56±4.40, 31.06±5.95, 38.06±4.80, and 48.10±5.55 ( P < 0.001), respectively. There was a positive correlation between R2* and liver steatosis content ( r= 0.769, P < 0.05). The area under the ROC curve and cut-off value were 0.88 and 31.77, respectively, and there was no distinct relationship with liver inflammation or fibrosis. Conclusion:R2* can quantitatively and non-invasively evaluate liver iron deposition in patients with NAFLD. A distinct relationship exists between liver steatosis and iron deposition, and iron deposition tends to increase as the steatosis aggravates.

Background: Molecular markers associated with disease progression and prognosis of ulcerative colitis (UC) are still lacking in clinic. Aims: To investigate the expression and clinical significance of vanin 1 (VNN1) in intestinal mucosal tissue, serum and stool in patients with UC. Methods: A total of 100 UC patients and 100 healthy volunteers from Dec. 2018 to Jan. 2020 at the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region were recruited, and colonoscopy biopsy tissue samples, blood samples and stool samples were collected. PCR, Western blotting and immunohistochemistry were used to detect mRNA and protein expressions of VNN1 in intestinal mucosal tissue, respectively. The expression of VNN1 in serum and stool was determined by ELISA. Results: The mRNA and protein expressions of VNN1 in intestinal mucosal tissue in patients with UC were significantly higher than those in healthy controls (P<0.05). Immunohistochemistry results showed that VNN1 expression was significantly higher in intestinal mucosal tissue in patients with UC than in healthy controls (P<0.05). ELISA results showed that serum expression of VNN1 in patients with UC was significantly higher than that in healthy controls (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in expression of VNN1 in stool between patients with UC and healthy controls (P>0.05). Conclusions: The expressions of VNN1 in intestinal mucosal tissue and blood in UC patients are high, and can be used as a molecular marker of UC.
