Objective:To investigate the utility of 68Ga-fibroblast activation protein (FAP) inhibitor (FAPI)-04 PET imaging in assessing the therapeutic response in pressure overload-induced heart failure. Methods:Rat models of pressure overload-induced heart failure were established by abdominal aortic constriction (AAC). Thirty rats were categorized into AAC group, 7 days reverse AAC (rAAC) group, and sham operation (sham) group ( n=10 per group) using completely random grouping method. All rats underwent 68Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT imaging at 4 and 8 weeks after the ACC operation, while echocardiography, pathological examination, and immunohistochemical analysis were performed at 8 weeks postoperation. One-way analysis of variance, independent-sample t test and Pearson correlation analysis were used for data analysis. Results:68Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT imaging showed that the target-to-background ratios of the heart and liver had significant differences among three groups both at 4 and 8 weeks postoperation ( F values: 2 547.12, 2 041.71, 462.65, 1 210.97, all P<0.001). Echocardiography revealed left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular internal diameter at end-diastole (LVIDd), and left ventricular internal diameter at end-systole (LVIDs) in three groups at 8 weeks postoperation were significantly different ( F values: 118.92, 9.11, 10.63, all P<0.01). Rats were sacrificed at 8 weeks postoperation, and Masson staining showed that the fibrosis in the heart and liver of the rAAC group was significantly improved compared with that of the AAC group, and immunohistochemical analysis revealed significantly lower FAP levels in the heart and liver of the rAAC group compared with those of the AAC group ( t values: from -11.27 to -4.16, all P<0.01). FAPI uptake in the heart of the AAC group and rAAC group at 8 weeks postoperation were significantly positively correlated with FAPI uptake in the liver, LVIDd and LVIDs, FAPI uptake in the heart was significantly negatively correlated with LVEF, and FAPI uptake in the heart and liver were significantly positively correlated with fibrosis degree and FAP levels of corresponding organs ( r values: -0.89, -0.88, 0.72-0.97, all P<0.05). Conclusions:68Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT can show the improvement process of cardio-liver fibrosis following the unloading of excessive pressure in heart failure. Myocardial FAPI uptake is closely related to the extent of heart failure improvement.

Objective:To investigate the safety and efficacy of pulsed Thulium fiber laser enucleation (ThuFLEP) in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Methods:Clinical data of 238 BPH patients who underwent ThuFLEP from November 2022 to November 2023 at Peking University First Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups based on different surgical techniques: 199 patients underwent traditional continuous-wave Thulium fiber laser prostatectomy (C-ThuFLEP group), and 39 patients underwent Thulium fiber laser enucleation with pulse modulation (P-ThuFLEP group). Propensity score matching was used to balance baseline characteristics between the two groups. Operative time, resected tissue weight, pre- and postoperative hemoglobin decrease, postoperative hospital stay, and postoperative catheterization time were recorded and compared between the matched groups. Intraoperative and short-term postoperative complications were also recorded and compared between the two groups. Follow-up assessments at 1 month postoperatively were conducted to compare the maximum urinary flow rate (Q max), international prostate symptom score (IPSS), international index of erectile function (IIEF-5) score, quality of life (QOL) score, and International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form (ICIQ-SF) score between the two groups, as well as changes in Q max and IPSS, IIEF-5, and QOL before and after surgery. Results:After matching, a total of 60 patients were included, with 30 patients in each group. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of age [(68.73±6.91) years vs. (71.07±7.34) years], American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score (1-2/3-4: 23/7 vs. 23/7), comorbidity count (0-1/>1: 15/15 vs. 15/15), prostate volume [68.3 (50.0, 105.3) ml vs. 63.3 (45.7, 106.0) ml], preoperative IPSS score [24 (21, 29) vs. 23 (14, 26)], IIEF-5 score [5 (0, 15) vs. 5 (0, 13)], and QOL score [5 (4, 6) vs. 5 (5, 6)] (all P>0.05). The tissue removal rate in the P-ThuFLEP group was higher than that in the C-ThuFLEP group [0.82 (0.71, 1.18) g/min vs. 0.72 (0.46, 0.95) g/min, P=0.026], while there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in operative time [47 (37, 79) min vs. 65 (33, 87) min], resected tissue weight [45 (31, 75) g vs. 33 (22, 65) g], postoperative hemoglobin decrease [17 (10, 23) g/L vs. 12 (7, 19) g/L], postoperative hospital stay [4 (3, 5) days vs. 4 (3, 5) days], and postoperative catheterization time [3 (3, 5) days vs. 3 (3, 6) days]. The incidence of intraoperative complications in both groups was 10% (3/30), with no statistically significant difference ( P=1.000), and no severe complications of grade Ⅲ or above occurred. There were no statistically significant differences in Q max [24 (15, 33) ml/s vs. 16 (10, 32) ml/s], IPSS score [14 (12, 15) vs. 9 (7, 12)], QOL score [2 (1, 3) vs. 2 (1, 3)], and IIEF-5 score [3 (0, 5) vs. 3 (0, 6)] between the C-ThuFLEP and P-ThuFLEP group at 1 month postoperatively (all P > 0.05), and both showed significant improvement compared to preoperative values (all P < 0.05). The ICIQ-SF score in the P-ThuFLEP group was lower than that in the C-ThuFLEP group [0 (0, 4) vs. 4 (3, 8)], with a statistically significant difference ( P=0.033). Conclusions:Compared with traditional continuous-wave Thulium fiber laser prostatectomy, pulse-modulated Thulium fiber laser enucleation demonstrates higher efficiency in tissue removal, lower early postoperative ICIQ-SF score for urinary incontinence, similar risk of intraoperative complications, and can be safely and effectively applied in the surgical treatment of BPH patients.

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic effectiveness and safety of "U shape" en bloc Thulium fiber laser enucleation and resection of the prostate (ThuLERP) technique.Methods:The clinical data of 105 benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients treated by a single surgeon in Peking University First Hospital from January to October 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Among them, 50 patients underwent "U-shaped" en bloc technique prostate enucleation (UEBT), and 55 patients underwent prostate lobe removal using the lobe technique (LT). There were no significant differences between UEBT and LT groups ( P>0.05) in term of the age[(69.1±6.9)years old vs.( 68.8±9.1)years old], international prostate symptom score(IPSS)[(22.7±1.9)vs.(22.8±2.7)] and maximum flow rate(Q max ) [(9.0±3.7)ml/s vs.(9.3±4.3)ml/s]. The prostate-specific antigen(PSA) of UEBT group was higher than that of LT group[7.52(3.05, 8.76)ng/ml vs.6.78(1.61, 7.45)ng/ml], and the prostate volume of the UEBT group was larger than that of LT group [(103.49±46.19)ml vs.(75.73±30.69) ml, all P<0.05]. In the UEBT group, the apical of prostate was bluntly enucleated with pre-transection urethral mucosa at the apex of prostate technique. Secondly, glands formed grooves at 12 o'clock after vaporization, which served as anatomical marker. At last, the whole lobe which was like "U shape" were resected using laser. In the LT group, glands was divided to three lobe, the middle, the left and the right lobe was bluntly enucleated respectively. Perioperative data, postoperative complications and clinical outcomes were compared between the two groups. Correlation between enucleation efficiency and enucleation weight was analysed using linear regression. Results:There were no significant differences between the UEBT and LT group ( P>0.05) in term of morcellation time[18(9, 34)min vs.16(8, 28)min], resection rate[(0.5±0.1)g/ml vs.(0.5±0.1)g/ml], catheter indwelling duration[(3.8±1.4)d vs.(3.6±1.1)d] and hospitalization stay[(4.1±0.3)d vs.(3.9±0.8)d].The difference between the UEBT group and LT group in operation time[54(42, 100)min vs.80(60, 150)min], enucleated time[37(26, 75)min vs.47(31, 69)min], hemostasis time[4(3, 6)min vs.9(7, 15)min], enucleation efficiency[(1.8±0.5)g/min vs.(1.1±0.4)g/min] and hemoglobin decline[13(9, 22)g/L vs.17(10, 22)g/L]were statistically significant ( P<0.05). In both groups, postoperative IPSS were (6.6±1.7) and (6.2±1.4) respectively, and Q max were(18.9±3.1)ml/s and (16.8±3.8)ml/s respectively, which were significantly different from that before the operation ( P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). The enucleation efficiency increased with the increase of prostate volume( r=0.791, 0.880 respectively, P<0.05).After 2 weeks of follow up the postoperative immediate urinary continence rate of UEBT group and LT group were 10.0%(5/50)and 27.3%(15/55), respectively, and the two groups had statistical differences ( P<0.05). But after 3 months of follow up, there was no urinary continence in the two groups, and incidence of postoperative urethral stricture were 2.0%(1/50) and 5.5%(3/55) respectively in UEBT and LT group, whose difference was not significant( P>0.05). Conclusions:ThuLERP can relieve lower urinary tract symptoms in a comparable way with high efficacy and safety. ThuLERP with the "U-shaped" en bloc technique was statistically superior to the lobe technique in operation time, enucleation time, enucleation efficiency, hemoglobin decline and also avoided stress urinary incontinence at early stage after operation.

Objective:Evaluate the safety and efficacy of aortic endovascular remodeling device (AERD) in the treatment of residual aortic dissection on Stanford type B aortic dissection patients after endovascular repair.Methods:Adopting a prospective cohort study design, according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total number of 60 patients with Stanford B-type aortic dissection after TEVAR surgery from January 2022 to December 2023 were included. Collecting CTA imaging data of patients before and after endovascular treatment with AERD and using computer 3D reconstruction fluid dynamics to evaluate distal aortic remodeling.Results:The incidence of major adverse events and mortality rate associated with aortic dissection within 30 days were 0 after endovascular treatment with AERD. In the short term, AERD was safe for the treatment of residual aortic dissection on Stanford type B aortic dissection patients after endovascular repair. Endovascular treatment with AERD significantly increased the volume of the true lumen of the aorta in the dissection segment, with an increase of 88.44%. At the same time, endovascular treatment with AERD significantly reduced the volume of the false lumen of the aorta in the dissection segment, with a decrease of 61.04%. Endovascular treatment with AERD has no significant effect on the longest true lumen diameter of distal aorta of stent and upper margin aorta of superior mesenteric artery. Comparing to the longest diameter of the true lumen of the aorta, the change in the shortest diameter of the true lumen of the aorta is more significant, with the shortest diameter of true lumen of distal aortic of the stent increasing by 32.29%, the shortest diameter of true lumen of the narrowest part of the aorta increasing by 204.15%, the shortest diameter of true lumen of the upper margin aorta of superior mesenteric artery increasing by 80.76%, the shortest diameter of true lumen of the lower edge aorta of the renal artery increasing by 115.26%, the shortest diameter of the opening of the left iliac artery increasing by 152.01%, and the shortest diameter of opening of the right iliac artery increasing by144.21%.Conclusion:AERD is safe and effective in the treatment of residual aortic dissection on Stanford type B aortic dissection patients after endovascular repair. Endovascular treatment with AERD promotes true lumen dilation and false lumen reduction in the early postoperative stage and promotes benign remodeling of the distal aorta after TEVAR surgery.

Amantadine(AMD)residue can accumulate in organisms through the food chain and cause serious harm to human body.AMD can specifically bind to AMD specific aptamer and cause its conformation to change from a random single strand to a stem-loop structure.To avoid the influence of excess nucleotides on binding of aptamer to AMD,the truncation of the AMD original aptamer J was optimized by retaining an appropriate stem-loop structure,and a new type of truncation aptamers was developed in this work.By comparing the truncated aptamer with the original aptamer,it was found that the truncated aptamer J-7 had better affinity and specificity with AMD.The detection limit of AMD was 0.11 ng/mL by using J-7 as specific recognition element and molybdenum disulfide nanosheet(MoS2Ns)as signal amplification element.The developed method base on truncated aptamer J-7 was used for detection of AMD in milk,yogurt and SD rat serum samples for the first time with recoveries of 86.6%-108.2%.This study provided a reference for truncating other long sequence aptamers and provided a more sensitive detection method for monitoring AMD residues in food.

Objective:To construct a nomogram prediction model for predicting the risk of death in patients with sepsis-associated thrombocytopenia (SAT) in intensive care unit (ICU) for early indentification and active intervention.Methods:Clinical data of SAT patients admitted to ICU of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from December 2019 to August 2021 were retrospectively collected, including demographic data, laboratory indicators, etc. According to the prognosis at 28 days, the patients were divided into the death group and the survival group, and the differences of clinical variables between the two groups were compared. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the independent risk factors influencing mortality of patients within 28 days, then a nomogram predictive model was constructed and its performance was verified with internal data. Receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was used to evaluate the diagnostic effectiveness of the nomogram model, and the clinical applicability of this model was evaluated by clinical decision curve analysis (DCA).Results:A total of 275 patients were included, with 95 deaths at 28 days and a 28-day mortality of 34.5%. Compared with the survival group, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ), sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA), lactic acid (Lac), platelet distribution width (PDW) on day 5 of ICU admission, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), total bilirubin (TBIL), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), C-reactive protein (CRP) of patients in the death group were higher, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and prothrombin time (PT) were longer, platelet count (PLT) on day 3 and day 5 of ICU admission, direct bilirubin (DBIL), fibrinogen (FIB) were lower, the history of chronic lung disease, mixed site infection, lung infection, bloodstream infection, Gram-negative bacterial infection and fungal infection accounted for a higher proportion, the history of diabetes mellitus, urinary tract infection and no pathogenic microorganisms cultured accounted for a lower proportion, and the proportion of the use of vasoactive drugs, mechanical ventilation (MV), continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), bleeding events and platelet transfusion were higher. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that APACHEⅡ score at the day of ICU admission [odds ratio ( OR) = 1.417, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 1.153-1.743, P = 0.001], chronic lung disease ( OR = 72.271, 95% CI was 4.475-1?167.126, P = 0.003), PLT on day 5 of ICU admission ( OR = 0.954, 95% CI was 0.922-0.987, P = 0.007), vasoactive drug ( OR = 622.943, 95% CI was 10.060-38?575.340, P = 0.002), MV ( OR = 91.818, 95% CI was 3.973-2?121.966, P = 0.005) were independent risk factors of mortality in SAT patients. The above independent risk factors were used to build a nomogram prediction model, and the area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity and specificity were 0.979, 94.7% and 91.7%, respectively, suggesting that the model had good discrimination. The Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test showed a good calibration with P > 0.05. At the same time, DCA showed that the nomogram model had good clinical applicability. Conclusions:Patients with SAT has a higher risk of death. The nomogram model based on APACHEⅡ score at the day of ICU admission, chronic lung disease, PLT on day 5 of ICU admission, the use of vasoactive drug and MV has good clinical significance for the prediction of 28-day mortality, and the discrimination and calibration are good, however, further verification is needed.

Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the renal pelvis accounts for a very low percentage of malignant tumors in the renal pelvis and has a poor prognosis. This article reported a patient with sarcomatoid carcinoma of the renal pelvis. The patient presented with macroscopic hematuria as the first symptom, and CT suggested left renal occupancy, unilateral nephrectomy was performed, and pathology suggested sarcomatoid carcinoma of the renal pelvis. Three weeks after surgery, a follow-up CT showed tumor recurrence. Programmed death 1(PD-1)inhibitor was given once every 3 weeks. Repeated CT examination after 24 weeks of continuous treatment suggested that the recurrent tumor disappeared. The patients was followed-up for 42 months without tumor recurrence or metastasis.
