Chymotrypsin C (CTRC) is a trypsinogen synthesized by pancreatic acinar cells and secreted by pancreatic duct cells and belongs to the family of serine chymotrypsin. The main function of CTRC is to regulate the balance between activation and degradation of trypsin and maintain the structural and functional integrity of the pancreas. CTRC gene mutations can cause abnormal activation of trypsinogen and abnormal degradation of trypsin and then lead to the development of pancreatitis. The downregulation or absence of CTRC expression may be associated with the development and metastasis of pancreatic cancer. This article introduces the structure and biological function of CTRC and its mechanism of action in the development and progression of pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer.

Objective:To investigate the influencing factors associated with lesion residual after minimally invasive rotary mastectomy for breast masses and to construct a predictive model using columnar plots.Methods:Two hundred and twenty-eight patients with Breast lumps in Linyi People’s Hospital from Jun. 2018 to Jun. 2020 were selected as study subjects, all of whom underwent minimally invasive rotational resection, and the influencing factors of postoperative lesion residual were analyzed using univariate and multifactorial analysis, and a column line graph risk warning model was constructed and given for evaluation and validation.Results:228 patients were followed up for 6 months after surgery, 3 cases were lost, 225 cases completed postoperative follow-up, among which 185 cases (82.22%) had successfully resected lesions; 40 cases (17.78%) had residual lesions. Univariate, logistic regression analysis showed that tumor diameter ( t=15.52, P<0.001) , lesion morphology ( t=15.52, P<0.001) , lesion boundary ( χ2=7.71, P=0.006) , ultrasound guidance ( χ2=12.69, P<0.001) , and minimally invasive spinotomy system ( χ2=10.64, P=0.001) were the factors influencing lesion residual after minimally invasive spinotomy of breast masses. Based on the above factors to construct a column line graph model of lesion residual after minimally invasive rotational mastectomy for breast lumps, the area under the working characteristic curve (ROC) for model subjects was 0.974 (95% CI: 0.954-0.994) , indicating that the calibration curve basically matched the actual curve; external validation of the model showed that the area under the obtained ROC was 0.962 (95% CI: 0.933-0.991) , indicating that the model has a high degree of calibration. Conclusion:Tumor diameter, lesion morphology, lesion boundary, ultrasound guidance, and minimally invasive spinotomy system are the influencing factors of lesion residual after minimally invasive spinotomy for Breast lumps, and the column line graph model prediction of lesion residual occurring after surgery constructed based on the above factors has good confidence.

BACKGROUND:Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis is a common oral disease with a high incidence.However,temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis is not easy to be detected in the early stage,and it is difficult to obtain clinical pathological specimens,so it is difficult to carry out related research.The application of digital 3D printing technology to animal models of Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis increases the consistency of the animal models,thus promoting the study of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis. OBJECTIVE:To establish a standardized animal model of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis using novel digital technology. METHODS:According to the different modeling methods of unilateral anterior crossbite,30 female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into traditional model group,digital model group,and control group(n=10 per group).Cartilage specimens of the condyles were collected at 4 and 8 weeks after modeling.The apparent morphology was observed by stereoscopic microscope.The pathological morphology was observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining and Safranin O/fast green staining.Changes in the expression of interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α were observed by ELISA,and changes in the expression of aggrecan,type Ⅱ collagen and matrix metalloproteinase-13 were observed by immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Different degrees of degeneration were observed in the digital and traditional model groups.The body mass of rats in both the model groups decreased during the 1st week after intervention and subsequently demonstrated growth trend and were significantly lower than that in the control group.The results of stereoscopic microscope showed that at 4 and 8 weeks after modeling,the deformation and defect degree of the digital model group was significantly higher than that of the traditional model group.At these two time points,the Osteoarthritis Research Society International scores of the digital model group and the traditional model group were higher than those of the control group,and the Osteoarthritis Research Society International score of the digital model group was higher than that of the traditional model group(P＜0.05).Histopathological observation showed that the modified Mankin score and Osteoarthritis Research Society International score of the two model groups were significantly higher than those of the control group of the same age at 4 and 8 weeks after modeling(P＜0.05).Immunohistochemical staining results showed that at two time points,compared with the control group of the same age,the expression of aggrecan and type Ⅱ collagen decreased in the traditional model group and the digital model group,while the expression of matrix metalloproteinase 13 increased(P＜0.05).ELISA results showed that the expression levels of inflammatory factors interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α in the traditional and digital model groups were higher than those in the control group at 8 weeks,and the expression levels of interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α in the digital model group were higher than those in the traditional model group(P＜0.05).To conclude,the personalized metal tube designed and produced by 3D printing technology can quickly guide the osteoarthritis-like lesions of the temporomandibular joint without repeated trial and adjustment,which is reproducible and suitable for promotion and application.
