Endometrial cancer(EC)is a common pelvic malignant uterine tumor in women.The traditional classification method of EC is mainly based on histopathological morphology,while this classification method has high personal subjectivity,low repeatability,and limited value in assessing prognosis.With the research on the molecular mechanisms of cancer and the development of advanced gene sequencing technology,it is now possible to reclassify cancer by studying the cancer genome atlas(TCGA).This new classification method can help doctors to conduct more accurate risk assessments,provide more effective personalized treatment plans for EC patients,and predict the prognosis of EC patients by using TCGA data,which is expected to improve the treatment outcomes and survival rates of EC patients.This paper summarized the related research on molecular typing in EC at home and abroad,in order to provide new guidance and ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of EC in clinical practice.

Coronary artery heavy calcification is always challenging scenarios for interventional cardiologists.Although the treatment strategy guided by intravascular imaging and guaranteed by rotational atherectomy(RA)is recommended by consensus,the application rate of RA in my country is still relatively low.Our center has accumulated a lot of experience in the use of rotational atherectomy to treat severe calcified lesions,especially in complex scenarios such as left main trunk lesions,ostial lesions,and severe vessel tortuosity.Here is a case of interventional treatment of severe eccentric stenosis caused by a huge calcified plaque at the right coronary artery ostium.The method and strategy of plaque modification and partial ablation by intravascular ultrasound-guided RA are discussed.

This study was aimed at summarizing the epidemiological characteristics and spatial-temporal changes of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome(HFRS)in Hubei Province,China from 2005 to 2021,to provide scientific evi-dence for HFRS prevention and control.Data on individual HFRS cases and population information in Hubei Province from 2005 to 2021 were collected from the China Disease Pre-vention and Control Information System.The temporal,spa-tial,and demographic distribution characteristics of HFRS cases are described,and statistical methods such as medians,rates,and composition ratios were used for analysis.Joinpoint re-gression and Spearman's rank correlation were used to analyze the temporal trends in incidence rates or composition ratios.Global autocorrelation and hotspot analysis were conducted for spatial clustering analysis.Binary logistic regression was per-formed to analyze risk factors for HFRS mortality.A total of 5 790 HFRS cases were reported from 2005 to 2021,including 117 deaths.The average annual incidence rate was 0.57 per 100 000 population,and the case fatality rate was 2.02％.The overall incidence rate of HFRS in Hubei Province showed an increasing trend(AAPC=4.05％,95％CI:1.32％-6.78％),whereas the case fatality rate showed a decreasing trend over the years(r,=-0.72,P=0.002).HFRS exhibited a bimodal pattern,with peaks in the spring/summer months(May to July)and in the autumn/winter months(November to January of the following year).The incidence rate during the autumn/winter peak was slightly higher than that in the spring/summer peak.The incidence rate in males was higher than in females(RR=2.96,95％CI:2.79-3.14).The three age groups with the highest incidence rates were 60-64 years(747 cases,1.55 per 100 000),65-69 years(515 cases,1.39 per 100 000),and 55-59 years(762 cases,1.23 per 100 000).The incidence rate(2005:0.05 per 100 000;2021:0.08 per 100 000)and proportion(2005:2.69％;2021:1.94％)of HFRS cases in individuals 14 years or younger showed no significant trend over the years(AAPC=0.14％,95％CI:-0.03％-0.31％;AAPC=-3.64％,95％CI:-8.79％-1.50％).The incidence rate(2005:0.58 per 100 000;2021:1.59 per 100 000)and proportion(2005:14.80％;2021:44.31％)in the age group of 60 years or a-bove showed an increasing trend over the years(AAPC=10.52％,95％CI:4.38％-16.66％;AAPC=175.98％,95％CI:143.20％-208.75％).HFRS cases exhibited significant spatial clustering(P＜0.05).The hotspots of HFRS in Hubei Province shifted from the northern region(Xiangyang,Suizhou,Jingmen)in 2005-2007 to the southern region(Qianjiang,Xiantao,Tianmen,Jingzhou)in 2020-2021.Older age(OR=1.02,95％CI:1.01-1.04)and the period of 2005-2008 versus 2017-2021(OR=0.98,95％CI:0.97-0.99)were associated with relatively higher risk of HFRS mortality.In recent years,the HFRS epidemic in Hubei Province has continued to escalate,and areas such as Qianjiang City and other ares in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River have experienced high incidence rates.The population 60 years of age or above is gradually becoming more susceptible to the disease.Targeted measures should be implemented to curb the rising trend of HFRS.

This study investigated the prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi,Anaplasma phagocy tophilum,Rickettsia typhi,Orientia tsutsugamushi,Leptospira interrogans,Francisella tularensis,and Babesia spp.in small mammals in the Qinghai plateau region,to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of local zoonotic diseases.Small mammals were cap-tured with snap traps at six sampling sites in the Qinghai plateau region.Liver,spleen,and kidney tissues were collected for detection of six bacterial pathogens with real-time PCR.Conventional PCR(cPCR)was used for Babesia detection,and the positive PCR products were sequenced and analyzed.The differences in pathogen detection rates among species and habitats were analyzed with x2 test or Fisher's exact test.In to-tal,235 small mammals from 15 species were captured.B.burgdorferi,L.interrogans,and Babesia were detected in 11 spe-cies of small mammals,whereas A.phagocytophilum,R.typhi,O.tsutsugamushi,and F.tularensis were not detected.B.burgdorferi was detected in 41 small mammals from nine species(Cricetulus longicaudatus,Apodemus peninsulae,Ochotona curzoniae,Mus m usc ulus,Meriones meridians,Microtus arvalis,Cricetidae,Ochotona cansus,and Allactaga sibirica),with an infection rate of 17.45％(41/235).L.interrogans was detected in eight small mammals from four species(C.longicaudatus,M.musculus,M.arvalis,and Microtus oeconomus),with an infection rate of 3.40％(8/235).Babesia was detected in only one Mustela altaica,with an infection rate of 0.85％(1/235).Statistically significant differences were ob-served in the detection rates of pathogens among small mammal species(x2=200.54,P＜0.05).Among habitats,the detection rate of B.burgdorferi was highest in the forest(Fisher's exact test,P＜0.05).B.burgdorferi and L.interrogans co-infection was observed in three M.arvalis and two C.longicaudatus.In addition,one Babesia sequence was obtained,which clustered with Babesia vulpes in the phylogenetic tree.B.burgdorferi,L.interrogans,and Babesia were the main pathogens prevalent in small mammals in the Qinghai plateau region and have potential to cause human diseases.Local authori-ties should strengthen the surveillance of corresponding zoonotic diseases,and formulate corresponding prevention and control measures.

The density and composition of lymphocytes infiltrating colon tumors serve as predictive factors for the clinical outcome of colon cancer.Our previous studies highlighted the potent anti-cancer properties of the principal compounds found in Garcinia yunnanensis(YTE-17),attributing these effects to the regu-lation of multiple signaling pathways.However,knowledge regarding the mechanism and effect of YTE-17 in the prevention of colorectal cancer is limited.In this study,we conducted isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification(iTRAQ)analysis on intestinal epithelial cells(IECs)exposed YTE-17,both in vitro and in vivo,revealing a significant inhibition of the Wnt family member 5a(Wnt5a)/c-Jun N-terminal kinase(JNK)signaling pathway.Subsequently,we elucidated the influence and mechanism of YTE-17 on the tumor microenvironment(TME),specifically focusing on macrophage-mediated T helper 17(Th17)cell induction in a colitis-associated cancer(CAC)model with Wnt5a deletion.Additionally,we performed the single-cell RNA sequencing(scRNA-seq)on the colonic tissue from the Wnt5a-deleted CAC model to characterize the composition,lineage,and functional status of immune mesenchymal cells during different stages of colorectal cancer(CRC)progression.Remarkably,our findings demon-strate a significant reduction in M2 macrophage polarization and Th17 cell phenotype upon treatment with YTE-17,leading to the restoration of regulatory T(Treg)/Th17 cell balance in azoxymethane(AOM)/dextran sodium sulfate(DSS)model.Furthermore,we also confirmed that YTE-17 effectively inhibited the glycolysis of Th17 cells in both direct and indirect co-culture systems with M2 macrophages.Notably,our study shed light on potential mechanisms linking the non-canonical Wnt5a/JNK signaling pathway and well-established canonical β-catenin oncogenic pathway in vivo.Specifically,we proposed that Wnt5a/JNK signaling activity in IECs promotes the development of cancer stem cells with β-catenin activity within the TME,involving macrophages and T cells.In summary,our study undergoes the po-tential of YTE-17 as a preventive strategy against CRC development by addressing the imbalance with the immune microenvironment,thereby mitigating the risk of malignancies.

Neck dissection(ND)is one of the main treatment methods for oral and maxillofacial malignancies.Although ND type is in con-stant improvement,but intraoperative peal-pull-push injury of the accessory nerve,muscle,muscle membrane,fascia and ligament induced shoulder syndrome(SS)is still a common postoperative complication,combined with the influence of radiochemotherapy,not only can cause pain,stiffness,numbness,limited dysfunction of shoulder neck and arm,but also may have serious impact on patient's life quality and phys-ical and mental health.At present,there is still a lack of a systematic evaluation and rehabilitation management program for postoperative SS of oral and maxillofacial malignant tumors.Based on the previous clinical practice and the current available evidence,refer to the relevant lit-erature at home and abroad,the experts in the field of maxillofacial tumor surgery and rehabilitation were invited to discuss,modify and reach a consenusus on the etiology,assessment diagnosis,differential diagnosis,rehabilitation strategy and prevention of SS,in order to provide clinical reference.

Objective To quantitatively analyze the impact of environmental hygiene on the occurrence of health-care-associated infections(HAI).Methods Monitoring data of HAI and environmental hygiene from a tertiary first-class hospital from January 2018 to December 2022 were collected,and the impact of environmental bacterial colony forming unit(CFU)on the occurrence of HAI was analyzed by a time-series generalized additive model.Results The single-contamination model showed a significant positive correlation between HAI and staff's hand bacterial CFU(β1=0.009,P=0.012).For an increase of 1 interquartile range(IQR)in the monthly mean CFU per dish(MCFU/Dish)of staffs'hand,the incidence of HAI increased by 13.28％(95％CI:2.82％-24.81％).Subgroup and lag effect analysis showed that when the monthly MCFU/Dish(after hand disinfection)of staffs'hand in-creased by one IQR,the excess risk(ER)of HAI for the month(lag0)was 16.26％(95％CI:15.45％-17.09％).In the multi-contamination model,the correlation between surface contamination and HAI was also statistically sig-nificant.Conclusion There is a significant correlation between hospital environmental hygiene and the occurrence of HAI.

Objective To investigate the distribution of pathogens and change of homology of Acinetobacter bau-mannii(AB)in intensive care units(ICUs)of partial medical institutions in Shanghai before and after the pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19).Methods Pathogens were isolated and identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF MS),the whole genome of AB was sequenced using Illumina Miseq sequencing platform,and its genetic relationship was explored based on multilocus sequence typing(MLST)and core genome multilocus sequence typing(cgMLST).Results The total detection rate of patho-gens in ICU environment after the pandemic was lower than before the pandemic([6.10％,101/1 656]vs[10.77％,181/1 680];P＜0.05).Before and after the pandemic,the proportion of AB detected on the surface of bedding in the ICU environment remained at the highest level.After the pandemic,the ST types showed a diverse distribution.MLST_Pasteur results showed that 162 strains of AB were divided into 20 ST types,with ST2(80.25％,n=130)being the main type.MLST_Oxford results showed that there were 19 ST types among 162 strains,with ST208(37.04％,n=60)being the main type.The clustering analysis based on cgMLST showed that ST208_Oxford had closer genetic relationship with ST540_Oxford and ST369_Oxford after the pandemic.ST164_Pasteur clone changed from ST234_Oxford before the pandemic to ST1418_Oxford after the pandemic,and 2 new types of ST_Pasteurr and 11 new types of ST_Oxford were discovered.Conclusion The detection rate of pathogens from ICU environment after the pandemic is lower than before the pandemic,and the distribution of ST types is slightly different at the same detection sites before and after the pandemic.ST2_Pasteur/ST208_Oxford is still the dominant epidemic clone before and after the pandemic,but some alleles have changed.cgMLST is more accurate than MLST_Oxford and MLST_Pasteur in homology analysis,evolution,spread,and outbreak analysis.

Objective:To design an improved lamina hook system and compare its biomechanical properties with traditional lamina hook system in fixation of lumbar spondylolysis.Methods:The thin layer CT data of the lumbosacral vertebrae of 20 healthy young male servicemen who underwent physical examination in the outpatient department of the 940th Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force of PLA from January 2021 to August 2022 were collected. The age of the subjects was 20-30 years [(25.0±3.0)years]. A 3-dimensional model of the L 5 vertebral body was constructed using the 3-dimensional modeling software. The new improved lamina hook was designed according to the measurements including the thickness of the middle area, the longest longitudinal diameter, the curvature radius of the lower edge, the angle between the upper and lower tail ends, the thickness of the lower edge, and the longest diameter of the lower edge of the bilateral L 5 vertebral plates. One serviceman was selected from the aforementioned group to construct a linear finite element model of segments L 4-S using the 3-dimensional virtual software (normal model, model A), based on which, the L 5 bilateral spondylolysis model (model B), improved lamina hook model (model C) and traditional lamina hook models (model D) were designed. By constraining both sides of the sacrum and applying a longitudinal load of 400 N on the L 4 vertebral body, the upper 1/3 gravity of the body was simulated, and with a bending moment of 10 N·m along the X, Y, and Z directions, motions of forward flexion, backward extension, lateral bending, rotation, etc were simulated. The range of motion of segment L 4/5 and L 5/S 1 of model A was evaluated and compared with the findings of the previous researches to verify its effectiveness. The overall range of motion of models A, B, C, and D, the range of motion of segment L 4/5 and L 5/S 1, the maximum overall displacement, the maximum displacement and stress of the isthmus, the stress distribution and maximum stress of internal fixation of models C and D, and the stress distribution and maximum stress of the vertebral body of models C and D were compared. Results:(1) During forward flexion, backward extension, lateral bending and rotation, the range of motion of model A was 5.01°, 4.03°, 3.91° and 1.42° in segment L 4/5, and was 4.62°, 2.51°, 2.40° and 1.23° in segment L 5/S 1. (2) The overall range of motion, range of motion of segment L 4/5 and L 5/S 1 and maximum overall displacement of models A, C, and D were similar in axial compression, forward flexion, backward extension, left bending, and left rotation, while those of model B were significantly increased. (3) There was no significant difference in the maximum displacement of the isthmus of models A, C, and D under different motion modes, while the maximum displacement of model B in the isthmus was significantly larger than that of models A, C, and D, especially during rotation, increased by 295%, 277%, and 276% respectively. The maximum stress of the isthmus of model C was 0.938 MPa, 1.698 MPa, 0.410 MPa, 2.775 MPa, and 1.554 MPa respectively. The maximum stress in the isthmus of model D was 0.590 MPa, 1.297 MPa, 0.520 MPa, 3.088 MPa, and 2.072 MPa respectively. The maximum stress of the isthmus of models C and D was similar during axial compression and forward flexion, while the stress of the isthmus of model C was smaller than that of model D during backward extension, lateral bending, and rotation, decreased by 21.1%, 10.2%, and 25.0% respectively compared with model D. (4) The maximum stress of internal fixation in models C and D during forward flexion, backward extension, left bending, and left rotation was 135.220 MPa, 130.180 MPa, 200.940 MPa and 306.340 MPa respectively, and was 131.840 MPa, 112.280 MPa, 349.980 MPa and 370.140 MPa respectively. The maximum stress of internal fixation in the two models of internal fixation during forward flexion and backward extension was similar, while it was decreased by 42.6% and 17.2% in model C during left bending and left rotation, compared with model D. (5) The maximum stress of the vertebral body during forward flexion, backward extension, left bending, and left rotation was 79.787 MPa, 36.857 MPa, 37.943 MPa and 96.965 MPa respectively in model C, but was 80.104 MPa, 64.236 MPa, 196.010 MPa and 193.020 MPa respectively in model D. The maximum stress of models C and D was all distributed in the contact area with the internal fixation, and especially during backward extension, left bending, and left rotation, when it was reduced by 42.6%, 80.6%, and 49.8% of model C respectively, compared with that of model D. Conclusions:The improved laminar hook is more consistent with the Chinese anatomized structure of the lamina. Compared with the traditional lamina hook system, the improved lamina hook system can effectively reduce the displacement in all directions and range of motion of lumbar spondylolysis, therefor can significantly reduce the stress of internal fixation and vertebral body and has better biomechanical performance.

Conventional chemotherapy based on cytotoxic drugs is facing tough challenges recently following the advances of monoclonal antibodies and molecularly targeted drugs. It is critical to inspire new potential to remodel the value of this classical therapeutic strategy. Here, we fabricate bisphosphonate coordination lipid nanogranules (BC-LNPs) and load paclitaxel (PTX) to boost the chemo- and immuno-therapeutic synergism of cytotoxic drugs. Alendronate in BC-LNPs@PTX, a bisphosphonate to block mevalonate metabolism, works as both the structure and drug constituent in nanogranules, where alendronate coordinated with calcium ions to form the particle core. The synergy of alendronate enhances the efficacy of paclitaxel, suppresses tumor metastasis, and alters the cytotoxic mechanism. Differing from the paclitaxel-induced apoptosis, the involvement of alendronate inhibits the mevalonate metabolism, changes the mitochondrial morphology, disturbs the redox homeostasis, and causes the accumulation of mitochondrial ROS and lethal lipid peroxides (LPO). These factors finally trigger the ferroptosis of tumor cells, an immunogenic cell death mode, which remodels the suppressive tumor immune microenvironment and synergizes with immunotherapy. Therefore, by switching paclitaxel-induced apoptosis to mevalonate metabolism-triggered ferroptosis, BC-LNPs@PTX provides new insight into the development of cytotoxic drugs and highlights the potential of metabolism regulation in cancer therapy.
