This paper proposes a two-stage method integrating visual foundation models （VFM） and diffusion models. The segment anything model （SAM） as VFM is combined with the SegRefiner diffusion model to construct the SAM-SegRefiner framework for automated segmentation of edema， inflammation， and thrombus regions in histopathological images of hemorrhoidal tissue， providing a reproducible technical tool for the objective quantification of pathological morphology and its application in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome research. Trained and validated on multi-center retrospective data， the SAM-SegRefiner model achieved an average pixel accuracy of 95.32% and a mean intersection over union （mIoU） of 66.81% on an independent test set， significantly outperfor-ming comparative models such as U-Net， MixU-Net， and SAM-Med2D， and also demonstrating robust cross-center generalization capability. Furthermore， by correlating the quantitatively segmented results from the model with the patients' TCM syndrome types， the potential associations between pathomorphological features and TCM syndrome differentiation have been explored. The analysis revealed no statistically significant differences in the degree of inflammatory infiltration and thrombus formation among different syndrome types， suggesting a complex relationship between local pathological changes and systemic syndrome manifestations.

Objective To investigate the ameliorative effects and mechanisms of six types of tea(green tea,cyan tea,red tea,white tea,black tea and yellow tea)on metabolic disorders in obesity mice induced by high-fat diet(HFD).Methods Four-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into 8 groups with 7 mice per group.An HFD-induced obese mouse model was established,and the mice in control group maintained on standard diet followed by intragastric administration of different teas for 5 weeks.The body weight,liver weight ratio,fasting blood glucose,and lipid profile of the mice were measured to assess glucose and lipid metabolism.Serum inflammatory factors including IL-6,tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α)and oxidative stress markers[malondialdehyde(MDA)and superoxide dismutase(SOD)were measured.Additionally,liver histopathology and the expression of key glycolipid metabolism-related genes,adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase(AMPK)and carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1(CPT-1),were analyzed to explore underlying mechanisms.Results Cyan tea significantly suppressed weight gain,demonstrating superior weight control.White tea markedly reduced fasting blood glucose levels and decreased the area under the curve of oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT)and insulin tolerance test(ITT),indicating synergistic improvements in glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity.Yellow tea exhibited exceptional anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects,reducing hepatic IL-6 and MDA while enhancing SOD activity.Green tea activated the lipid oxidation pathway by upregulating AMPK/CPT-1 expression.All kinds of tea significantly attenuated hepatic lipid droplet accumulation.Conclusion All six types of tea alleviated metabolic disorders by reducing hepatic fat content in obesity mice.However,different types of tea exert their unique effects on improving metabolic disorders through differential mechanisms such as glucose metabolism regulation,lipid oxidation,and anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions.

An electrochemical sensor based on a chitosan-carbon nanotube(CS-CNT)composite-modified glassy carbon electrode(GCE)was developed in this work for highly sensitive detection of sunset yellow(SY)in food.The CS-CNT composite dispersion was prepared via an ultrasonic dispersion method.Combined with quantum chemical calculations,the adsorption mechanism of SY molecules onto the electrode surface,facilitated by π-π conjugation and electrostatic interactions,was elucidated.The optimized experimental conditions were determined as follows:12 μL of CS-CNT dispersion modification volume,accumulation time of 300 s,and a phosphate buffer solution at pH 7.0 as supporting electrolyte solution.Experimental results demonstrated that CS significantly enhanced the dispersion of CNT,increasing the effective surface area of the modified electrode by 2.22 times(reaching 0.1587 cm2)compared to the bare GCE.The sensor exhibited a linear detection range of 3.0×10-7 mol/L to 1.0×10-5 mol/L,with a detection limit(S/N=3)of 5.0×10-10 mol/L.Satisfactory spiked recoveries ranging from 96.9%to 101.1%were achieved,along with good preparation reproducibility(relative standard deviation,RSD=4.96%).Interference tests indicated high selectivity of the sensor against citric acid,glucose,and common metal ions.The reliability of the sensor was validated through the detection of SY in actual beverage samples.This electrode design simplified operational procedures,avoiding cross-contamination between measurements,and provided an efficient solution for the on-site monitoring of food additives.

Objective:To investigate the expression and clinical significance of Prohibitin 2(PHB2)in the kidney tissue of patients with Diabetic Kidney Disease(DKD).Methods:From March 2015 to May 2024,samples were collected from 16 patients diagnosed with diabetic nephropathy through renal biopsy,who met the inclusion criteria(referred to as the DKD group).Additionally,20 patients with renal tumors undergoing nephrectomy,who had partially normal kidney tissue,were selected to serve as the control group(NC group).The pathological changes of the two groups of samples were evaluated by HE and PAS staining.Immunohistochemistry was utilized to analyze the differences in PHB2 protein expression between the two groups.Pearson or Spearman correlation methods were applied for statistical analysis.Results:PHB2 was expressed in renal tubules,and its expression level in the diabetic kidney disease(DKD)group was significantly lower than that in the normal control(NC)group(P＜0.05).Additionally,the expression level of PHB2 in diabetic nephropathy was found to be negatively correlated with glycated hemoglobin,serum creatinine,cystatin C,and blood urea nitrogen(P＜0.05).In contrast,there was a positive correlation between PHB2 expression and the estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)(P＜0.05).Therefore,PHB2 expression serves as a negative correlation factor for serum creatinine,cystatin C,and blood urea nitrogen,while being a positive correlation factor for eGFR.Conclusions:In patients with diabetic nephropathy,the expression of PHB2 in renal tissue significantly decreases.This reduction in PHB2 levels closely correlates with glucose metabolism and renal function.Low levels of PHB2 may worsen glucose metabolism disorders,renal function damage,and proteinuria.Therefore,PHB2 serves as a potential biomarker for assessing prognosis and offers new insights into the treatment of diabetic kidney disease.

Accurately assessing and positioning the current development status of disciplines can help hospitals formulate targeted disciplinary development strategies and achieve disciplinary development goals. In 2022, a large tertiary public hospital established a discipline-demand-oriented " pyramid" hierarchical discipline evaluation system based on Maslow′s need-hierarchy theory. The discipline evaluation system set six levels of evaluation indicators from low to high, including medical quality and safety, department operation, sub specialty construction, scientific and educational achievements, platform construction, and talent cultivation(including 6 primary indicators, 21 secondary indicators, and 44 tertiary indicators). By applying the evaluation system and providing feedback on the evaluation results in the form of " disciplinary diagnostic reports" and " disciplinary evaluation conferences, " the hospital′s discipline construction had been improved at six levels. From 2022 to 2023, the hospital added five national clinical key specialties; The number of sub major construction disciplines increased from 18 in 2021 to 61 in 2023, and patient satisfaction increased from 94.64% to 96.25%. This evaluation system could objectively reflect the level of discipline development, lead the high-quality development of disciplines, and provide references for other public hospitals to promote discipline development.

BACKGROUND:Peripheral nerves play an important role in bone metabolism.In clinical practice,the specific impact of nerve injury on bone transport technology needs further study. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of tibial nerve injury on the treatment of tibial slip by single-plane osteotomy. METHODS:Thirty-two patients with tibial bone defects admitted to Tangshan Second Hospital from May 2011 to June 2022 were selected.According to the presence or absence of tibial nerve injury,patients were divided into the tibial nerve injury group(n=16)and the non-tibial nerve injury group(n=16).Both groups were treated with single-plane osteotomy and bone slip.After treatment,the patients were followed up to collect the mineralization zone healing index,external fixation index,docking point healing and needle infection.After the removal of external fixation,the bone healing and functional evaluation were evaluated by a classification of the Association for the Study and Application of the Method of Ilizarov(ASAMI). RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)All 32 patients were followed up for(25.28±4.79)months.There were no significant differences in bone healing time,external fixation time,healing index and external fixation index between the two groups(P＞0.05).Needle infection occurred in two cases of the tibial nerve injury group and one case of the non-tibial nerve injury group,all of which were PALEY I,and there was no significant difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).The non-union rate of the occlusal end of the tibial nerve injury group was 31%,and that of the non-tibial nerve injury group was 13%;there was no statistical difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).The excellent and good rate of ASAMI bone healing score in the two groups was 100%;the excellent and good rate of limb score was 81%in the tibial nerve injury group and 94%in the non-tibial nerve injury group;there was no statistical difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).(2)Our research shows that tibial nerve injury has no significant effect on the mineralization speed,external fixation time,union of the occlusal end,infection of the needle tract,and the quality of bone formation in the mineralized area of the single-plane osteotomy.

Objectives:To explore the antitumor effects of redox-responsive nanoparticles containing platinum(Ⅳ)—NP@Pt(Ⅳ) in ovarian cancer.Methods:Redox-responsive polymer carriers were synthesized. Polymer carriers and platinum(Ⅳ)—Pt(Ⅳ) can self-assemble into NP@Pt(Ⅳ). Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry was performed to detect the platinum release from NP@Pt(Ⅳ) in reducing environment and the platinum content in ovarian cancer cells ES2 treated with cisplatin, Pt(Ⅳ) and NP@Pt(Ⅳ). The proliferation ability of the ovarian cancer cells were detected by 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Cellular apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry. Collection of primary ovarian cancer tissues from patients with primary high-grade serous ovarian cancer who were surgically treated at the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from October to December 2022. The high-grade serous ovarian cancer patient-derived xenograft (PDX) mice were intravenously injected with Cy7.5 labeled NP@Pt(Ⅳ) followed by in vivo imaging system. Mice were treated with PBS, cisplatin and NP@Pt(Ⅳ). Tumor volume and weight were measured in each group. Necrosis, apoptosis and cell proliferation of tumor tissues were detected by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, TUNEL fluorescence staining and Ki-67 immunohistochemistry staining. Body weight and HE staining of heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney of mice in each group were measured.Results:The platinum release of NP@Pt(Ⅳ) after 48 hours in reducing environment was 76.29%, which was significantly higher than that of 26.82% in non-reducing environment ( P<0.001). The platinum content in ES2 cells after 4 hours and 7 hours of treatment with NP@Pt(Ⅳ) (308.59, 553.15 ng/million cells) were significantly higher than those of Pt(Ⅳ) (100.21, 180.31 ng/million cells) and cisplatin (43.36, 50.36 ng/million cells, P＜0.05). The half inhibitory concentrations of NP@Pt(Ⅳ) in ovarian cancer cells ES2, A2780, A2780DDP were 1.39, 1.42 and 4.62 μmol/L, respectively, which were lower than those of Pt(IV) (2.89, 7.27, and 16.74 μmol/L) and cisplatin (5.21, 11.85, and 71.98 μmol/L). The apoptosis rate of ES2 cells treated with NP@Pt(Ⅳ) was (33.91±3.80)%, which was significantly higher than that of Pt(Ⅳ) [(16.28±2.41)%] and cisplatin [(15.01±1.17)%, P＜0.05]. In high-grade serous ovarian cancer PDX model, targeted accumulation of Cy7.5 labeled NP@Pt(Ⅳ) at tumor tissue could be observed. After the treatment, the tumor volume of mice in NP@Pt(IV) group was (130±98) mm 3, which was significantly lower than those in control group [(1 349±161) mm 3, P<0.001] and cisplatin group [(715±293) mm 3, P=0.026]. The tumor weight of mice in NP@Pt(IV) group was (0.17±0.09)g, which was significantly lower than those in control group [(1.55±0.11)g, P<0.001] and cisplatin group [(0.82±0.38)g, P=0.029]. The areas of tumor necrosis and apoptosis in mice treated with NP@Pt(Ⅳ) were higher than those in mice treated with cisplatin. Immunohistochemical staining revealed that there were low expressions of Ki-67 at tumor tissues of mice treated with NP@Pt(Ⅳ) compared with cisplatin. The change in body weight of mice in NP@Pt(Ⅳ) group was not significantly different from that of the control group [(18.56±2.04)g vs.(20.87±0.79)g, P=0.063]. Moreover, the major organs of the heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney were also normal by HE staining. Conclusion:Redox-responsive NP@Pt(Ⅳ), produced in this study can enhance the accumulation of cisplatin in ovarian cancer cells and improve the efficacy of ovarian cancer chemotherapy.
