Obesity is a significant risk factor for cancer and is associated with breast cancer metastasis. Nevertheless, the mechanism by which alterations in systemic metabolism affect tumor microenvironment (TME) and consequently influence tumor metastasis remains inadequately understood. Herein, we found that perturbations in circulating metabolites induced by obesity promote metastasis-like phenotypes in breast cancer. Oleoylcarnitine (OLCarn) concentrations were elevated in the serum of obese mice and humans. Administration of exogenous OLCarn induces metastasis-like characteristics in breast cancer cells. Mechanistically, OLCarn directly interacts with the Arg176 site of adenylate cyclase 10 (ADCY10), leading to the activation of ADCY10 and enhancement of cAMP production. Mutations at Arg176 prevent OLCarn from binding to ADCY10, disrupting the ADCY10-mediated activation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling pathway. This activation promotes transcription factor 4 (TCF4)-dependent kinesin family member C1 (KIFC1) transcription, thereby driving breast cancer metastasis. Conversely, the neutralization of both ADCY10 and KIFC1 through knockdown or pharmacological inhibition abrogates the oncogenic effects mediated by OLCarn. Hence, obesity-induced systemic environmental changes lead to the aberrant accumulation of OLCarn within the TME, making it a potential therapeutic target and biomarker for breast cancer.

Objective To explore whether butorphanol tartrate as an adjuvant of ropivacaine for brachial plexus block can reduce the incidence of rebound pain after brachial plexus block.Methods Based on sample size calculation,174 patients undergoing upper limb bone surgery were included in this study and randomized into three groups using statistical software:butorphanol tartrate compound local anesthetic(group B1),brachial plexus block with 0.25%ropivacaine 20 mL(including adjuvant butorphanol 1mg);intravenous butorphanol group(group B2),brachial plexus block with 0.25%ropivacaine 20 mL,in addition,1mg of butorphanol was administered i.v;control(group C),only 0.25%ropivacaine 20ml for brachial plexus block.The patients were visited the day before operation,and the basic information of the patients was obtained.At the same time,the Douleur Neuropathique 4 questions(DN4)was used to evaluate whether there were neuropathic components(DN4≥4)in the site to be operated on,and the Numerical rating scale(NRS)was introduced to the patients,and the preoperative NRS value was obtained.30 minutes before the operation,the same anesthesiologist with rich experience in nerve block completed the ultrasound-guided brachial plexus block(interscalene approach),and tested whether the block effect was perfect.After entering the operating room,the patients were given general anesthesia,and the duration of operation,vital signs during operation,dosage of analgesics and whether or not using tourniquet were recorded.After the operation,the patients were sent to the postanesthesia care unit,and then sent to the ward when the patients reached the standard of leaving the room.Distribute pain diaries to patients and their families and instruct them to fill in relevant matters.The patients were followed up at 0 h,6 h,12 h,18 h,24 h and 36 h after operation to obtain the NRS value at each time point after operation,the time when the block disappeared and the highest NRS value within 12 hours,the first use of rescue analgesics,the use of postoperative analgesics,postoperative adverse events and the quality of patient recovery.Results The incidence of rebound pain was 31.6%in B1,48.2%in B2,and 54.4%in C.The pairwise comparison showed statistical difference between B1 and C(P<0.05).Rebound pain score in the three groups was B1 group

Objective To establish a purification,enrichment and test method of tetrodotoxin in blood.Methods Through the investigation of various hydrophilic chromatographic columns,the comparison of extraction effects of different types of solid phase extraction columns and the interference analysis of mixed peaks on qualitative ion pairs,the matrix influence of tetrodotoxin was reduced,and the detection sensitivity and qualitative accuracy were improved.Results Tetrodotoxin is highly polar and easily inhibited by the matrix,while conventional precipitation protein method has low sensitivity and isomer double peaks,and the C18 column is not reserved.After comprehensive comparative analysis,the weak cation exchange column PWC column is finally used for purification and enrichment.Complete elution was achieved using 0.5 mL 10%formic acid and 50%acetonitrile aqueous solution.Seperation was performed on an Atlantis HILIC column,with qualitative ion pairs set at m/z,320.10>162.15 and 284.15.The detection limit of the method was 0.061 ng/mL.Conclusion The established PWC solid-phase extraction-LC/MS detection method demonstrates significant purification efficacy,minimal matrix influence,unobstructed chromatographic peaks,markedly improved detection sensitivity.This approach is operationally simple,and applicable to forensic casework.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effects of free posterior interosseous artery perforator flap on reconstruction of the soft tissue defects of multiple fingers in one hand.Methods:Clinical data of 9 patients with soft tissue defect of multiple fingers in one hand admitted to the Department of Hand Surgery, Yongkang Orthopedic Hospital between January 2021 and August 2023 were retrospectively studied. The patients were 7 males and 2 females, aged between 19 and 55 years old. The soft tissue defects of 2 patients with 3 fingers injury and 7 patients with 2 fingers injury were reconstructed with free posterior interosseous artery perforator flaps. The size of defects in single finger was 1.5 cm×2.5 cm-3.0 cm×4.5 cm. The size of flap was 2.5 cm×7.0 cm-3.5 cm×13.0 cm. The posterior cutaneous nerve of the forearm were sutured to the intrinsic nerve of palmar side of the 14 fingers. Donor sites in forearm were directly sutured. After discharge, regular follow-up at outpatient clinic and through WeChat interviews were conducted to observe the appearance and texture of the flaps, finger fullness, donor site function and appearance, as well as patient satisfaction. For the flaps with anastomosis of cutaneous nerve, the recovery of TPD of the flap was tested. Sensory recovery was assessed according to the British Medical Research Council (BMRC) sensory function assessment criteria. Hand functions were evaluated using the Total Active Movement (TAM) of fingers of the Hand Surgery of the Chinese Medical Association.Results:All of the 20 flaps survived and were evaluated through follow-up visits, which ranged from 6 to 25 months with an average of 13 months. The flaps were soft, unbloated and without obvious pigmentation. The protective sensations were recovered with an average static TPD of 14 flaps anastomosed with cutaneous nerve was of 9.7 (7-13) mm. Among them, S 3+ 10 fingers, S 3 4 fingers; 6 fingers of flap without sutured cutaneous nerve, S 2 5 fingers, S 1 1 finger. According to the TAM of Hand Surgery of Chinese Medical Association, the results were excellent for 15 fingers and good for 5 fingers. There was no scar contracture in the forearm donor sites and motor function was not affected. Conclusion:Posterior interosseous artery perforator flap has the advantages of thin flap, similar texture to the hand, good recovery in sensory, and minimal damage to the donor site. Therefore, it is a good option in reconstruction of soft tissue defects of multiple fingers in one hand.
