Patients with sudden deafness encounter greater psychological challenges and communication barriers after experiencing sudden hearing loss， and traditional medical models often fail to adequately address their unique needs. This paper analyzed the current situation of emotional and behavioral changes in patients with sudden deafness， and the gap between their expectations and the reality of medical care. From the perspective of narrative medicine， the theory and characteristics of the reconstruction of the doctor-patient relationships in patients with sudden deafness were explored. The results showed that narrative medicine can enhance patients’ emotional resonance and understanding， improve the efficiency and quality of doctor-patient communication， promote the formulation of personalized treatment plans， and enhance treatment adherence and satisfaction. Based on these results， strategies and pathways for the reconstruction of doctor-patient relationships for patients with sudden deafness were proposed， including building empathetic bridges and tapping into mechanisms of emotional resonance within narrative medicine； optimizing communication strategies and promoting the application of narrative techniques in doctor-patient dialogues； connecting narrative pathways and advocating the exploration of stories and strategies in personalized treatments； as well as facilitating treatment adherence and making full use of the psychodynamic effects of narrative medicine. Narrative medicine， as a patient-centered medical practice， can effectively promote the reconstruction of doctor-patient relationships， enhance treatment effectiveness， and offer a more humane treatment experience for patients.

Objective To explore the dynamic changes in monoamine oxidase A(MAOA)and forkhead box A1(FOXA1)levels during neuroendocrine differentiation(NED)in prostate cancer,providing new strategies for the treatment of neuroendocrine prostate cancer.Methods Cell models and mouse transplantation models of NED were established through long-term sustained induction with enzalutamide(ENZ).Dynamic expression of MAOA and FOXA1 in NED was detected by Western Blot and Real-time PCR.GEO database data were selected to analyze the dynamic trends in MAOA and FOXA1 levels in multiple NED models.We constructed a mouse transplantation model of human prostate cancer cell lines and analyzed the dynamic expression of MAOA and FOXA1 in the in vivo NED model by immunohistochemistry.MAOA expression was disrupted with lentiviral transfection,and the impact on FOXA1 was detected.Results Both MAOA and FOXA1 concentrations showed dynamic characteristics,increasing and then decreasing during the NED process.Knockdown of MAOA in prostate cancer cells led to decreased expression of FOXA1.This MAOA may play different roles at different stages of NED by acting through FOXA1.Conclusions Both MAOA and FOXA1 levels showed increasing,then decreasing,trends during NED.The expression of MAOA affected the level of FOXA1,and MAOA/FOXA1 may play a dynamic regulatory role in the NED process.

Objective To construct a patient-derived pancreatic tumor organoid(PDO)and evaluate its effectiveness.Methods We collected fresh surgical specimens from pancreatic cancer patients for PDO culture and compared the pathological and genetic characteristics of the PDO model with those of primary tumors.The PDO model was used to evaluate the efficacy of clinical chemotherapy drugs,and the effectiveness of the model was assessed.Results A PDO model of pancreatic cancer was successfully established.Histomorphological analysis indicated that the PDO model maintained the basic pathological characteristics of the primary tumor.Whole-exon sequencing showed that both the organoids and original tumor tissue remained consistent in their gene mutation type and characteristics.Drug screening tests revealed that the PDO model had good sensitivity to gemcitabine and irinotecan.Conclusions A pancreatic cancer PDO was successfully constructed that reflected the histological and genetic characteristics of the original tumor.The model was shown to be effective for drug sensitivity experiments in vitro and is expected to have implications for precision medicine assays.

Interleukin-17(IL-17)is an important pro-inflammatory cytokine that bridges innate and adaptive immunity,promoting protective immunity against pathogens,but also driving inflamma-tory pathology during infection and autoimmunity.IL-17 has important protective roles in a variety of bacterial zoonoses,but also promotes the development of inflammatory diseases in various organ tissues and is associated with autoimmune diseases induced by bacterial infections.Recent studies have shown that IL-17-secreting CD4+tissue-resident T memory cells play a key role in sustaining adaptive immunity to bacterial infections,and vaccine design strategies targeting IL-17 responses exhibit apparent advantages in improving vaccine efficacy.In this regard,this paper reviews the bio-logical functions of IL-17 and its roles in major bacterial zoonoses and related mechanisms,with the aim of providing a reference for the development of safe and effective IL-17-based immunother-apies.

Objective To establish an orthotopic transplantation tumor model of pancreatic cancer derived from transgenic LSL-KrasG12D/+ LSL-Trp53R172H/+ Pdx1-Cre(KPC)mice.To provide a stable and reliable drug preclinical research animal model to study the developmental mechanism and treatment strategies of pancreatic cancer.Methods Tumor tissue derived from KPC transgenic mice with spontaneous pancreatic cancer was transplanted into the C57BL/6J mouse pancreas.Ultrasound was used to monitor tumor growth.HE and immunofluorescence staining was used to evaluate the pathological characteristics of this model.Results The tumor derived from KPC mice grew steadily on the pancreas of C57BL/6J mice.Tumor cell proliferation index Ki67,matrix fibrosis marker αSMA,and immune cell markers CD45 and CD206 were all stably expressed in the tumor.The model stably retained the pathological features of primary pancreatic cancer.Widespread tumor metastases,which were similar to those observed in patients with pancreatic cancer,developed in this model.Conclusions An orthotopic transplantation model derived from a transgenic mouse with spontaneous pancreatic cancer was established successfully.The model simulates the stromal environment and immune cell infiltration of pancreatic cancer and retains strong stability and uniformity with the original tumor.It can be used as an effective drug preclinical research model to study pancreatic cancer progression and treatment strategies.

Objective A novel compound based on near-infrared fluorescence(NIRF)probe was prepared to achieve dynamic monitoring of an inflammatory brain edema model in mice and real-time evaluation of therapeutic effects through in vivo imaging.Methods The NIRF probe IR-783 was chemically linked with clinical brain edema therapeutic drug furosemide(FSM)to obtain the new compound,IR-783-FSM.The ultraviolet fluorescence properties of the compound were evaluated using an ultraviolet spectrophotometer.The uptake of the compound by mouse macrophage cells RAW 264.7 was detected with in vitro cellular experiments.Its cytotoxicity was evaluated through CCK8 assays.A brain edema model was established in BALB/c mice via intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide(LPS),confirmed by HE staining and dry-wet weight methods for brain tissues.The mice in the brain edema model were divided into control group,IR-783,and IR-783-FSM treatment groups,receiving intraperitoneal injections of PBS,IR-783,and IR-783-FSM,respectively.Real-time in vivo fluorescence imaging was then performed.The mice in each group were euthanized after 10 hours.Ex vivo brain imaging and dry-wet weight measurements were performed to observe the NIRF imaging characteristics and therapeutic effects of IR-783-FSM on brain edema model.Results The newly synthesized compound,IR-783-FSM,retained the excellent near-infrared fluorescence characteristics of IR-783.It could target mouse macrophages with an IC50 of 48.82 μmol/L.A brain edema model could be successfully constructed with intraperitoneal injection of LPS,with significantly higher brain tissue water content compared to the control group(P＜0.01).In vivo imaging showed that IR-783-FSM had a significantly stronger fluorescence signal in the brain edema model than IR-783.Compared to the control group,the brain water content was significantly reduced in the 2,5,and 8 mmol/L IR-783-FSM treatment groups(P＜0.01).Conclusion The newly synthesized NIRF probe IR-783-FSM facilitates dynamic monitoring of brain edema and real-time evaluation of therapeutic effects.

Objective:To explore the correlation between fasting plasma glucose (FPG) trajectory and new-onset chronic kidney disease (CKD) in elderly population (≥65 years old) in Nanjing.Methods:The study cohort was composed of 14 763 subjects who met the inclusion criteria in the population in elderly health examination in Nanjing. Based on the FPG levels detected in health examination from 2018 to 2021 (logarithm was used for normal distribution), three different FPG trajectory groups were determined using the SAS Proc Traj program, i.e. low-stable group, medium-stable group, and high-stable group. The incidence of CKD in 2022 was analyzed, and log-rank test was performed to compare the differences of cumulative incidence of new-onset CKD among different trajectory groups. Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to analyze the correlation between different FPG trajectories and new-onset CKD.Results:The mean follow-up time was (416.09±81.96) days. The follow-up time of the 500 th day was selected to analyze the cumulative incidence rate of CKD in different FPG trajectory groups, and the cumulative incidence rate of CKD in the low-stable group, the medium-stable group, and the high-stable group of FPG increased with elevated trajectory, which was 15.3%, 21.8%, and 29.3%, respectively (log-rank test χ2=151.16, P<0.001). Cox proportional hazards regression model analysis showed that compared with the low-stable group, the medium-stable group and the high-stable group were all at risk for new-onset CKD. After adjusting for multiple confounding factors, the analysis by Cox proportional hazards regression model 4 indicated that the risk for CKD in medium-stable and high-stable groups were still 1.676 (95% CI: 1.462-1.921) times and 2.007 (95% CI: 1.562-2.579) times higher than that in low-stable group. Conclusions:Elevated FPG change trajectory level is a risk factor for new-onset CKD, and persistently high level of FPG increase the risk for CKD. FPG should be monitored in elderly population by follow up, and individualized prevention and control measures for CKD should be developed for different trajectory groups.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of color Doppler ultrasound parameters for fetal growth restriction (FGR) induced by hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in high-altitude regions. Methods Pregnant women with gestational hypertension who were treated between July 2020 and June 2022 at the Affiliated Hospital of Qinghai University (with altitude of 2, 300 meters, were divided into group A1 with 19 cases and group A2 with 51 cases according to occurrence of FGR), Yushu People's Hospital (with altitude of 3, 700 meters, were divided into group B1 with 25 cases and group B2 with 47 cases according to occurrence of FGR), and Civil Aviation Clinical Medical College of Peking University (plain region, control group with 71 cases) were enrolled in this study. All pregnant women in each group underwent fetal color Doppler ultrasound examination of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) and umbilical artery (UA) blood flow parameters, including pulsatility index (PI), resistance index (RI), systolic/diastolic ratio (S/D), peak systolicvelocity (PSV), and cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) at 28 weeks of gestation were detected. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent risk factors for FGR in pregnant women with gestational hypertension. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted to analyze the predictive value of color Doppler parametersfor FGR. Results The UA blood flow parameters (PI, RI, S/D, PSV) of the fetuses in groups A1, A2, B1, and B2 were significantly higher than those in the control group, while the MCA blood flow parameters (PI, RI, S/D, PSV) and CPR were significantly lower (P < 0.05). Among the five groups, group B1 had the highest UA blood flow parameters (PI, RI, S/D, PSV) and the lowest MCA blood flow parameters (PI, RI, S/D, PSV) and CPR (P < 0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that high altitude of residence and umbilical cord abnormalities were independent risk factors for FGR in pregnant women with gestational hypertension (P < 0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the areas under the curves for the combined prediction of FGR in pregnant women with gestational hypertension at altitudes of 2, 300 meters and 3, 700 meters using color Doppler multi-parameters were 0.906 and 0.917, respectively, indicating a significantly higher predictive performance compared to individual parameter (P < 0.05). Conclusion Color Doppler ultrasound parameters of UA and MCA bloodflow during the second trimester of pregnancy demonstrate good predictive value for FGR induced by hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in high-altitude regions at different altitudes, and the predictive performance is even higher when multiple parameters are combined.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of color Doppler ultrasound for fetal intrauterine distress(FIUD)in high-risk puerperae in plateau areas.Methods A total of 130 puerperae in plateau areas and 130 puerperae in plain areas were enrolled.According to presence or absence of FIUD in different areas,they were divided into the plateau distress group(47 cases),the plateau normal group(83 cases),the plain distress group(31 cases)and the plain normal group(99 cases).All cases underwent blood flow detection of middle cerebral artery(MCA)and umbilical artery(UA)before delivery,and cerebral-placental ratio(CPR)was calculated.The incidence of FIUD was compared between high-risk puerperae in plateau area and in plain area.Gestational age,birth weight,cesarean section rate and blood spectrum parameters of MCA and UA were compared between the four groups.The predictive value of color Doppler ultrasound parameters for FIUD was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves.Results The incidence rates of FIUD and severe FIUD were higher in patients of plateau areas than those in plain areas(36.15%,13.85%vs.23.85%,4.62%,P＜0.05).Compared with the plateau distress group,gestational age and birth weight were increased in the plateau normal group and the plain distress group(P＜0.05).Compared with the plateau distress group,PI,RI,S/D and CPR of MCA were increased,while PI,RI and S/D of UA were decreased in the plateau normal group and the plain distress group(P＜0.05).Results of ROC curve analysis showed that overall performance advantage of S/D of UA was the most obvious in the diagnosis of FIUD in high-risk puerperae in plateau areas.The diagnostic sensitivity of RI of MCA was the highest,and the diagnostic specificity of CPR was the highest(P＜0.05).Conclusion Color Doppler ultrasound has good diagnostic value for FIUD in high-risk puerperae in plateau areas,which can be applied as an effective clinical screening means for FIUD.
