Diabetes of the exocrine pancreas(DEP) refers to a complication of diseases of the exocrine pancreas, associated with an increased risk of pancreatic cancer. Recent evidence has indicated that DEP, after type 2 diabetes, has become the second most common type of adults-onset diabetes, with a higher prevalence than type 1 diabetes. DEP is not a single condition but encompasses various exocrine pancreatic disorders that lead to hyperglycemia through different mechanisms, creating significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This review examines the latest research on the risk factors and pathogenesis of DEP, aiming to provide insights to improve its clinical management strategies.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between the level of angiotensin Ⅱ type 1 receptor autoantibody (AT1-AA) in the uterine fluid and the thickness of endometrium in infertile women with chronic endometritis.Methods:A case-control study was conducted to select 122 patients who underwent hysteroscopy and endometrial tissue biopsy at Assisted Reproduction Center, Taiyuan Central Hospital due to infertility from March 2023 to January 2024 as the study subjects. According to the results of hysteroscopy and endometrial tissue biopsy, the patients were divided into 52 cases in the infertility group with normal endometrium (NE infertility group) and the chronic endometritis combined with infertility group (CE infertility group) with 70 cases. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the level of AT1-AA in uterine fluid of the two groups. General clinical data, AT1-AA absorbance value of uterine fluid and uterine related indexes of the two groups were analyzed, and the correlations between AT1-AA level and the variation of indexes were analyzed.Results:Gravidity (median: 1 vs 1; Z=7.029, P=0.030) and parity (median: 0 vs 0; Z=12.258, P=0.002) in CE infertility group were higher than those in NE infertility group. There was AT1-AA in the uterine fluid, and the level of AT1-AA in CE infertility group was significantly higher than that in NE infertility group (median: 2.07 vs 1.44; Z=3.099, P=0.029). The endometrial thickness of CE infertility group was lower than that of NE infertility group (median: 6.0 vs 7.0 mm; Z=-2.179, P=0.029), and there were no statistical differences in other indexes between the two groups (all P>0.05). Further correlation analysis showed that there were no correlation between the level of AT1-AA in uterine fluid and parity, endometrial thickness, gravidity in NE infertility group (all P>0.05). However, the level of AT1-AA in uterine fluid of CE infertility group was positively correlated with parity (Spearman′s r=0.339, P=0.004), and negatively correlated with endometrial thickness (Spearman′s r=-0.499, P<0.001), but not correlated with gravidity ( P>0.05). Conclusions:AT1-AA is present in the uterine fluid of infertile women. The elevated level of AT1-AA in uterine fluid of infertile women with CE is related to the thinning of the endometrium.

Objective To investigate the dynamic characteristics of intestinal pathological development at different time points in a mouse model of colitis-associated colon cancer.Methods A colitis-cancer model was established in C57BL/6 mice using azoxymethane(AOM)combined with dextran sulfate sodium(DSS).Samples were collected at 7,10,and 14 weeks post-modeling and the spleen index,colon length,mass,and colon mass per unit length were measured.Histopathological changes in the colon were observed by hematoxylin and eosin and Masson staining.Expression levels of the cancer stem cell marker CD44 and Wnt signaling pathway genes Wnt2b,Lrp5,Axin2,and Znrf3 at different pathological stages were detected by reverse transcription quantitative real time PCR.Cancer-associated fibroblasts(FAP),CD44,the proliferation marker Ki67,and goblet cell MUC2 protein were detected by multiple immunofluorescence histochemistry(mIHC)and immunofluorescence.In addition,colon organoids were isolated from model mice at ten and fourteen weeks and cultured in vitro to observe changes in organoid morphology and marker expression.Results AOM/DSS-induced mice showed reduced,distorted,and branched colon crypt structures with a few collagen fibers at 7 weeks,and varying degrees of colon intraepithelial neoplasia,with an increased proportion of high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia over time and increased collagen fiber staining at ten and fourteen weeks.mRNA levels of CD44 and Wnt2b in the colon were significantly increased(P＜0.05)and Axin2 was decreased(P＜0.01)in model mice compared with control mice at fourteen week,and levels of Wnt2b,Lrp5,and Znrf3 were increased compared with seven-week mice(P＜0.01,P＜0.05,P＜0.01),and Axin2 was decreased(P＜0.01).mIHC staining showed increased expression of FAP and CD44 in the colon in model mice at ten and fourteen weeks,with decreased MUC2 expression.Colon organoids showed cystic dilation,especially at fourteen weeks,with more prominent expression of Ki67 and CD44.Conclusions The AOM/DSS-induced mouse model exhibited chronic colonic inflammation,low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia,and high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia at seven,ten,and fourteen weeks,respectively.The pathological microenvironment was characterized by fibroblast activation and abnormal proliferation of epithelial cells.

Objective To understand the epidemiological characteristics of road traffic accident injuries in Beijing can provide a theoretical basis for improving the pre-hospital emergency service capabilities and levels,and increasing patient survival rates while reducing disability,mortality rates.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the medical records of 9207 patients who made pre-hospital emergency calls due to road traffic accident injuries at the Beijing Emergency Medical Center in 2023 to understand the patients' age,gender,injury time,injury location,injury degree and other characteristics.Results Traumatic diseases ranked first in the classification of emergency medical conditions in Beijing.Among them,road traffic accidents account for 37％.The ratio of male to female patients was 1.32∶1.The largest number of patients were aged 31-40,accounting for nearly 25％.The proportion of underage patients and those aged 71 and above was 12.16％.The differences in gender and age distribution were statistically significant,while the differences in gender distribution among different age groups were not statistically significant.Road traffic accident injuries occured most frequently in September and least in January.There were more cases in summer and autumn,and fewer in winter and spring.The most common injury sites in road traffic accidents were limbs/skin and head and neck,accounting for 81.06％.The patients with moderate severity of injuries were the most numerous,accounting for 85.29％.Conclusion To avoid road traffic accidents,prevention should be the priority.It is necessary to strengthen the joint governance of multiple departments and minimize the occurrence of road traffic accident from the source.Pre-hospital emergency care must focus on key populations and key seasons,strengthen professional skills training and resource allocation,ensure efficient and smooth connection between pre-hospital and in-hospital care.Popularize and publicize the importance of self-rescue and mutual rescue,promote first aid knowledge and skills training for the public,and create a social atmosphere where"rescue is right beside us".

OBJECTIVE: Cassiae Semen (CS, Juemingzi in Chinese) is a widely used traditional Chinese medicine with a variety of pharmacological effects. This study aimed to investigate the potential therapeutic effects and molecular mechanisms of anthraquinones of CS (AQS) for adiposity. METHODS: The chemical components of the AQS were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Network pharmacology analysis was used to predict potential anti-obesity targets of action for AQS. We constructed high fat with high sugar water diet-induced obese mice and observed their body weight and whole-body lipid metabolism to evaluate the efficacy of AQS in promoting lipid metabolism. Subsequently, the epidermal temperature at the brown adipose tissue (BAT) before and after cold stimulation was observed and the expression of lipid metabolism-related genes in the liver and BAT tissues was detected to clarify the mechanism of action of AQS. RESULTS: Network pharmacology analysis showed that AQS was involved in the regulation of liver and adipose tissue function under obesity. Pathological and biochemical results showed that AQS reduced lipid accumulation in the liver and adipose tissue induced by an unhealthy diet. With the increase of cold tolerance, the volume and weight of BAT were increased by AQS, suggesting that it regulated the body heat production dominated by BAT. After AQS treatment, the levels of genes related to uncoupling protein1 (UCP1)-mediated adaptive thermogenesis in BAT tissues and lipid metabolism in the liver were also increased, which further proved that AQS activated BAT function to promote lipid metabolism in the whole body. CONCLUSION This study revealed the pharmacological effects of AQS, thereby providing a scientific basis for regulating BAT thermogenesis and liver lipid metabolism to alleviate obesity and providing clues for further exploring the application of natural active ingredients in the treatment of metabolism-related diseases.

Objective:To develop a nomogram model for predicting the risk of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in patients with mechanical ventilation (MV) and to validate the stability of the prediction performance of the model.Methods:The patients with MV admitted to the Department of Critical Care Medicine of General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from January 2019 to December 2022 were retrospectively selected according to the order of admission. The patients with MV were divided into the non-VAP group and the VAP group according to whether VAP occurred. The clinical data of the two groups, including general information, disease, medication, condition, and operation-related indicators were collected as candidate predictors of the model for comparison. Multivariate logistic stepwise forward regression analysis was used to screen the predictors that finally entered the model, and a nomogram model was constructed. The model discrimination was evaluated by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), the diagnostic test results of the model at the predicted threshold were calculated, the Hosmer-Lemeshow test was used to evaluate the model fit, and the Bootstrap resampling was used 1 000 times for internal validation, and model calibration and clinical applicability were evaluated by calibration curve and decision analysis curve, respectively.Results:A total of 1 250 patients with MV were included, including 1 102 patients in the non-VAP group and 148 patients in the VAP group, and the prevalence of VAP was 11.8%. The detection of multidrug-resistant organisms, chronic kidney disease, brain injury, oxygenation index, the place of tracheal intubation, reintubation, use of bronchoscopy, use of antibiotics, and MV duration were model predictors of VAP. The AUC of the nomogram model was 0.917 (95% CI: 0.895-0.939), the maximum Youden index of 0.697 corresponded to a prediction threshold of 0.096. The model accuracy, sensitivity and specificity were 0.836, 0.865, and 0.832, respectively. The positive predictive value and the negative predictive value were 0.409 and 0.979, respectively. The Hosmer- Lemeshow test indicated that the model fit well ( P=0.938). The results of the internal validation of the model showed that the predicted risk of the calibration curve was generally consistent with the actual risk, and the decision threshold probability of the decision analysis curve ranged from 2% to 90%. Conclusions:The nomogram model developed in this study is simple, convenient and has relatively stable prediction performance, which can be externally validated to evaluate the extrapolation of the model, and provide a basis for individualized clinical prediction of the risk of VAP in patients with MV.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of ginsenosides as P-glycoprotein(P-gp)substrates in combination with paclitaxel on the proliferation and migration of colon cancer Caco-2 cells.METHODS Bio-layer interferometry(BLI)technology was used to detect the constants of ginsenosides and P-gp.Network molecular docking was adopted to predict the binding affinity energy of ginsenosides and P-gp.Caco-2 cells were divided into paclitaxel 0,6.25,12.5,25,50,100 and 200 mg·L-1 groups,ginsenoside Rg3 0,6.25,12.5,25,50,100 and 200 mg·L-1 groups,and paclitaxel 5 mg·L-1+ginsenoside Rg3 0,25,50,100 and 200 mg·L-1 groups.After 48 h of incubation,the growth inhibition rate of Caco-2 cells was detected by MTT assay,and the interaction between the two drugs was quantitatively evaluated using the"one-belt,one-line"modle.Caco-2 cells were divided into the cell control group,paclitaxel 5 mg·L-1 group,ginsenoside Rg3 50 and 100 mg·L-1 groups,and paclitaxel 5 mg·L-1+ginsenoside Rg3 50 and 100 mg·L-1 groups.After 24 h of incubation,the proliferation and migration ability of the cells were detected by colony assay and Transwell migration assay.Caco-2 cells were then divided into the cell control group,quinidine 12.5 mg·L-1 group,and ginsenoside Rg3 6.25 and 12.5 mg·L-1 groups.After 4 h of incubation,the expression levels of P-gp and total protein were detected by ELISA.RESULTS The affinity constants of ginsenoside Rb1,Rg3,Rg5 with P-gp were all less than 10-3 mol·L-1,while that of ginsenoside CK with P-gp was 10-2 mol·L-1.There was no typical binding dissociation curve between ginsenoside Re and P-gp.The absolute binding affinities of ginsenosides Rg3 and Rg5 to P-gp were determined to be 8.5 kcal·mol-1 and 7.6 kcal·mol-1,respectively.Ginsenosides mixed with PTX 5 mg·L-1 inhibited the growth of colon cancer cells through synergy and addition,and the dose range of the syner-gistic effect was[0+5,43.15+5]mg·L-1;[164.51+5,200+5]mg·L-1,the additive effect dose ranged from[43.15+5,164.51+5]mg·L-1.The combination of the two drugs could significantly reduce the proliferation and migration ability of Caco-2 cells(P<0.01).The ELISA results showed a decrease in total protein and P-gp content in both the ginsenoside and quinidine groups(P<0.05).CONCLUSION Ginsenoside bind to and inhibit the activity of P-gp,synergizing with paclitaxel to reduce the proliferative and migratory abili-ties of Caco-2 cells.The combination of ginsenosides and paclitaxel enhances the sensitivity of Caco-2 cells to paclitaxel induced inhibition.The combined use of these two substances is expected to achieve better anticancer effects compared to paclitaxel alone.
