Objective:To compare the efficacy of endoscopic retrograde appendicitis therapy (ERAT) and sub-endoscopic retrograde appendicitis therapy (SERAT) for the treatment of acute appendicitis.Methods:The retrospective study was performed on consecutive patients who underwent SERAT (21 cases) and ERAT (30 cases) for acute appendicitis in Shandong Provincial Third Hospital from November 2021 to April 2023. Patient baseline information, clinical treatment, hospitalization costs, and hospital stay were analyzed, and complications and recurrence were followed up.Results:There was no significant difference between the two groups regarding age, gender, clinical manifestation, laboratory and imaging data, or Alvrrado score ( P>0.05). Compared with the ERAT group, the operation time was shorter in the SERAT group (23.6±10.1 min VS 44.8±18.8 min, t=4.679, P<0.001). There were no significant differences between the two groups in stent implantation rate [61.9% (13/21) VS 70.0% (21/30), χ2=0.364, P=0.546], fecalith removal rate [38.1% (8/21) VS 33.3% (10/30), χ2=0.123, P=0.726], postoperative time for temperature (19, 2, 0 and 26, 3, 1 cases after 0 to 1 day, >1 to 3 days and >3 days, respectively, χ2=0.723, P=0.697) and white blood cell count normalization (20, 1, 0 and 27, 2, 1 cases after 0 to 1 day, >1 to 3 days and >3 days, respectively, χ2=0.813, P=0.666), proportion of visual analogue scale scores<3 at 6 hours after treatment [100.0% (21/21) VS 90.0% (27/30), χ2=2.231, P=0.135], length of hospital stay (3.4±1.2 days VS 4.5±2.9 days, t=1.579, P=0.121), hospitalization cost (15 393.0±4 352.5 yuan VS 17 836.0±5 134.6 yuan, t=1.777, P=0.082), or incidence of complications [0.0% (0/21) VS 0.0% (0/30), χ2=0.000, P=1.000]. The recurrence rate in SERAT group (0.0%, 0/21) was significantly lower than that in ERAT group (23.3%, 7/30) ( P=0.017). Conclusion:SERAT is a safe and effective minimally invasive approach for managing acute appendicitis, characterized by a shorter operation duration and a lower recurrence rate compared to ERAT.

Purpose To analyze the gene subtypes and characteristics of human papilloma virus(HPV)infection among women attending outpatient and physical examination centers at our hospital.Methods We utilized Polymerase Chain Reaction(PCR)combined with reverse dot hybridization to detect 28 HPV gene subtypes.Results HPV infection rate among the women was 24.15％.The five most prevalent high-risk(HR)and low-risk(LR)HPV gene subtypes were HPV 52,16,53,58,39,and HPV 61,81,54,42,44,respectively.Single and double infections accounted for 68.97％and 20.72％,with no signifi-cant difference found in the combination of multiple infection types.When stratified by age,the highest HPV infection rate was found among the group aged ≤25 years,followed by the group aged ≥66 years and then the group aged 56-65 years.This pattern of HPV infection rates across age groups revealed an approximate U-shaped curve.Conclusion The majority of female HPV in-fections in Huadu district are single infections,primarily affecting young and middle-aged women.HPV gene subtypes exhibit the characteristics of population or region-specific distribution.The overall infection rate of HPV is 24.15％,with the most common types being 52,16,and 53.The three peak age groups for HPV infection ranges are ≤25 years,56-65 years,and ≥66 years.

Objectives:To investigate the clinical and genetic features of young Chinese patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) .Methods:In this cross-sectional study, anonymous questionnaires were distributed to patients with MPN patients nationwide. The respondents were divided into 3 groups based on their age at diagnosis: young (≤40 years) , middle-aged (41-60 years) , and elderly (>60 years) . We compared the clinical and genetic characteristics of three groups of MPN patients.Results:1727 assessable questionnaires were collected. There were 453 (26.2%) young respondents with MPNs, including 274 with essential thrombocythemia (ET) , 80 with polycythemia vera (PV) , and 99 with myelofibrosis. Among the young group, 178 (39.3%) were male, and the median age was 31 (18-40) years. In comparison to middle-aged and elderly respondents, young respondents with MPN were more likely to present with a higher proportion of unmarried status (all P<0.001) , a higher education level (all P<0.001) , less comorbidity (ies) , fewer medications (all P<0.001) , and low-risk stratification (all P<0.001) . Younger respondents experienced headache (ET, P<0.001; PV, P=0.007; MF, P=0.001) at diagnosis, had splenomegaly at diagnosis (PV, P<0.001) , and survey (ET, P=0.052; PV, P=0.063) . Younger respondents had fewer thrombotic events at diagnosis (ET, P<0.001; PV, P=0.011) and during the survey (ET, P<0.001; PV, P=0.003) . JAK2 mutations were found in fewer young people (ET, P<0.001; PV, P<0.001; MF, P=0.013) ; however, CALR mutations were found in more young people (ET, P<0.001; MF, P=0.015) . Furthermore, mutations in non-driver genes (ET, P=0.042; PV, P=0.043; MF, P=0.004) and high-molecular risk mutations (ET, P=0.024; PV, P=0.023; MF, P=0.001) were found in fewer young respondents.

Objective: To explore the possible mechanism of moxibustion in myocardial protection of rats undergoing long-term fatigue exercise based on observing the classical pyroptosis pathway mediated by nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB)/nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3)/cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase 1 (Caspase-1).Methods: A total of 50 specific-pathogen-free male Sprague-Dawley rats were bought. Ten unqualified rats were excluded, and the remaining 40 rats were divided into a normal group, a normal + Shenque (CV8) group, a model group, a model + non-meridian non-point group, and a model + Shenque (CV8) group according to the random number table method, with 8 rats in each group. Except for rats in the normal group and the normal + Shenque (CV8) group, rats in the other three groups were trained with an incline running table exercise protocol to create a long-term fatigue exercise model, 1 h/time, once a day for 5 d with 2 d off, for a total of 8 weeks. Rats in the normal group received no modeling or intervention. Rats in the normal + Shenque (CV8) group were not modeled but received mild moxibustion at Shenque (CV8); those in the model group were modeled only without intervention; those in the model + non-meridian non-point group received moxibustion at non-meridian and non-point spots after the modeling; those in the model + Shenque (CV8) group received moxibustion at Shenque (CV8) after modeling. The above moxibustion interventions were performed for 15 min/time once daily, for 5 d with 2 d off per week and a total of 8 weeks. Blood was collected from the femoral artery 4 h after the last exercise, and the serum interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18 levels were measured. The NF-κB, NLRP3, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC), Caspase-1, and gasdermin D (GSDMD) expression levels were detected by Western blotting. Myocardial morphology and pyroptosis were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and electron microscopy. Results: The HE staining results showed that the myocardial cells in the model group and the model + non-meridian non-point group were disorganized with blurred transverse lines, widened interstitial spaces, interstitial edema, and inflammatory cell infiltration. The structure of myocardial cells in the model + Shenque (CV8) group was clearly visible, with slightly widened interstitial spaces and occasional infiltration of inflammatory cells in the interstitium. Compared with the normal group, the serum IL-1β and IL-18 levels were increased, and myocardial NF-κB, NLRP3, ASC, Caspase-1, and GSDMD expression levels were elevated in the model group and the model + non-meridian non-point group (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the above indicators did not change significantly in the model + non-meridian non-point group, while all the above indicators were decreased in the model + Shenque (CV8) group (P<0.01). Compared with the model + non-meridian non-point group, all the above biochemical indicators were decreased in the model + Shenque (CV8) group (P<0.01). Transmission electron microscopy showed that the mitochondria number was increased in the model group and the model + non-meridian non-point group, some of the mitochondrial lumen was irregularly enlarged, the cell membrane structure was unclear, and chromatin was aggregated. The mitochondria number was increased, the swelling was reduced, and the nuclear membrane structure was more intact in the model + Shenque (CV8) group. Conclusion: Moxibustion at Shenque (CV8) regulates the NF-κB/NLRP3/Caspase-1 pathway and reduces the pyroptosisin the myocardium of rats with long-term fatigue exercise, thus reducing the myocardial injury caused by long-term fatigue exercise.

OBJECTIVE：To stud y the effects of sinapine thiocyanate （ST） on the proliferation ，epithelial mesenchymal transformation（EMT）and metastasis of human cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma SCL- 1 cells，and to investigate its possible mechanism. METHODS ：Human cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma SCL- 1 cells were divided into blank control group （0.1％ DMSO） and ST different concentration groups （5，10，20 μmol/L）. CCK- 8 assay，5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine（EDU）test， scratch test and Transwell chamber invasion test were adopted to test the proliferation ，migration and invasion ability. The expression of N-cadherin and E-cadherin were detected by Western blot and immunofluorescence assay . Other SCL- 1 cells were collected and divided into blank control group （0.1％ DMSO），ST group （20 μmol/L），ST+NSC228155 group [ 20 μmol/L ST+100 μmol/L NSC228155（EGFR agonist ）] and ST+SC 79 group [ 20 μmol/L ST+20 μmol/L SC79（PI3K/Akt agonist ）]. The proliferation ，migration and invasion ability of SCL- 1 cells in each group were detected by CCK- 8 assay，scratch test and Transwell chamber invasion assay. The expression of epidermal growth factor receptor （EGFR），phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase（PI3K），phosphorylated phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase（p-PI3k），protein kinase B （Akt）and phosphorylated protein Akt （p-Akt）protein of cells in blank control group and ST different concentration groups（5，10，20 μmol/L）were determined by Western blot assay so as to validate the relationship between ST effect and EGFR/ PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. SCL- 1 cells and human normal skin fibroblasts cell WS 1 were divided into blank control group （0.1％ DMSO），ST group （20 μmol//L），ZD1839 group（positive control ，20 μmol//L，EGFR inhibitor ）and LY 294002 group（positive control，20 μmol//L，PI3K/Akt inhibitor ）. CCK- 8 assay was used to detect the cell proliferation in order to evaluate the cells cytotoxicity of ST. RESULTS ：Compared with blank control group ，the proliferation ，migration and invasion ability of SCL- 1 cells were significantly decreased in 5，10，20 μmol/L ST groups（P＜0.05）. Western blot and immunofluorescence assay showed that the expression of N-cadherin in SCL- 1 cells were decreased significantly in 5，10，20 μmol/L ST groups（P＜0.05），while the protein expression of E-cadherin was increased significantly （P＜0.05）；the protein expressions of EGFR ，p-PI3K and p-Akt were significantly decreased （P＜0.05）. Compared with ST group ，the proliferation ，migration and invasion ability of SCL- 1 cells were increased significantly in ST + NSC 228155 group and ST + SC 79 group （P＜0.05）. Compared with blank control group ，the proliferation ability of WS 1 cells had no significant change in ST group ，while the proliferation ability of SCL- 1 cells was decreased significantly （P＜0.05）；the proliferation ability of the two kinds of cells were decreased significantly in ZD 1839 group and LY 294002 group（P＜0.05）. Compared with ST group ，the proliferation ability of WS 1 cells was decreased significantly in ZD1839 group and LY 294002 group（P＜0.05），but there was no significant difference in the proliferation ability of SCL- 1 cells （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS ：ST may inhibit the proliferation ，EMT and metastasis of SCL- 1 cells through inhibiting the activation of EGFR/PI 3K/Akt signaling pathway ，and its side effects are few.

Inflammatory caspase-11 senses and is activated by intracellular lipopolysaccharide (LPS) leading to pyroptosis that has critical role in defensing against bacterial infection, whereas its excess activation under pathogenic circumstances may cause various inflammatory diseases. However, there are few known drugs that can control caspase-11 activation. We report here that scutellarin, a flavonoid from Erigeron breviscapus, acted as an inhibitor for caspase-11 activation in macrophages. Scutellarin dose-dependently inhibited intracellular LPS-induced release of caspase-11p26 (indicative of caspase-11 activation) and generation of N-terminal fragment of gasdermin D (GSDMD-NT), leading to reduced pyroptosis. It also suppressed the activation of non-canonical nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome as evidenced by reduced apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC) speck formation and decreased interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) and caspase-1p10 secretion, whereas the NLRP3-specific inhibitor MCC950 only inhibited IL-1β and caspase-1p10 release and ASC speck formation but not pyroptosis. Scutellarin also suppressed LPS-induced caspase-11 activation and pyroptosis in RAW 264.7 cells lacking ASC expression. Moreover, scutellarin treatment increased Ser/Thr phosphorylation of caspase-11 at protein kinase A (PKA)-specific sites, and its inhibitory action on caspase-11 activation was largely abrogated by PKA inhibitor H89 or by adenylyl cyclase inhibitor MDL12330A. Collectively, our data indicate that scutellarin inhibited caspase-11 activation and pyroptosis in macrophages at least partly via regulating the PKA signaling pathway.
