ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of surgery-assisted transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (SA-TIPS) in the treatment of portal hypertension comorbid with complex portal vein thrombosis, including cavernous transformation of the portal vein (CTPV). MethodsAn analysis was performed for the data of 36 patients with portal hypertension and complex portal vein thrombosis who underwent SA-TIPS in Beijing Shijitan Hospital, Capital Medical University, from November 2023 to January 2025, including general status, technical data of the surgical process (surgical success rate, puncture times, time of operation, the number of stents used, and the length of shunt), perioperative complications, and surgical recovery. The change in portal pressure gradient (PPG) after shunt was compared, and the rate of reaching the standard for PPG reduction was calculated, as well as stent patency rate within 1 week after surgery. The paired samples t-test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups. ResultsAmong the 36 patients, 34 (94.4%) underwent SA-TIPS successfully. The incidence rate of perioperative complications was 16.7% (6/36), including 3 cases of thoraco-abdominal hemorrhage, 2 cases of intraoperative arrhythmia, and 1 case of incision infection. There was a significant reduction in PPG after SA-TIPS (t=19.85, P<0.01), and the patients achieving a ≥50% reduction in PPG accounted for 76.5% (26/34). Imaging reexamination within 1 week showed a shunt patency rate of 100%. ConclusionSA-TIPS has a high technical success rate, a favorable safety profile, and good efficacy in the treatment of portal hypertension comorbid with complex portal vein thrombosis (including CTPV), and therefore, it holds promise for clinical application.

In recent years, the incidence of depression among adolescents has increased significantly, becoming a serious global public health problem. There is a close relationship between adolescent depression and lipid metabolism abnormalities. However, the mechanisms underlying this association have not been fully elucidated. This article provides a review of the mechanisms and interventions linking adolescent depression and lipid metabolism abnormalities, aiming to offer new ideas for interventions in adolescent depression. Using computerized searches of the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data, PubMed, and Web of Science, studies on the mechanisms and interventions related to adolescent depression and lipid metabolism were collected, with the search period extending up to October 10, 2025. Two researchers independently conducted literature screening and extracted basic information from the included studies. A total of 12 original studies were included. The results indicate that adolescent depression is associated with certain lipid metabolites. Neurobiological factors, immune inflammation, oxidative stress, and gut microbiota imbalance play important roles in this association. In addition, lipid metabolites such as omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 PUFAs) have a significant ameliorating effect on adolescent depression.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of primary bladder adenocarcinoma(ACB).Methods:The clinical data of 33 patients with primary ACB who underwent surgical treatment in the Department of Urology of Peking University Third Hospital from July 2003 to January 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 5 females and 28 males,with an average age of(61.3 ± 11.5)years. Twelve patients had comorbidities(6 hypertension,2 coronary heart disease,5 diabetes mellitus,and 3 cerebrovascular diseases)and 12 had a smoking history. The mean body mass index(BMI)was(24.8 ± 3.2)kg/m 2. The maximum tumor diameter measured by enhanced computed tomography(CT)was(29.7 ± 12.7)mm. The preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR)was 3.4 ± 3.2,and the systemic immune-inflammation index(SII)was(582 ± 496)× 10 9/L.Patients were divided into two groups according to the surgical approach:the radical cystectomy group( n = 23)and the bladder-sparing group( n = 10). For the radical cystectomy group,there were 19 males and 4 females,with a mean age of(59.9 ± 12.6)years. Five patients had comorbidities(3 hypertension,1 coronary heart disease,1 diabetes mellitus,and 2 cerebrovascular diseases). Eight patients had a smoking history,with a mean BMI of(25.2 ± 3.5)kg/m 2. The maximum tumor diameter was(33.6 ± 10.9)mm,the preoperative NLR was 3.5 ± 3.5,and the SII was(618 ± 558)× 10 9/L. For the bladder-sparing group,there were 9 males and 1 female,with a mean age of(64.5 ± 8.2)years. Seven patients had comorbidities(3 hypertension,1 coronary heart disease,4 diabetes mellitus,and 1 cerebrovascular diseases). Four patients had a smoking history,with a mean BMI of(23.5 ± 2.3)kg/m 2. The maximum tumor diameter was(20.7 ± 12.5)mm,the preoperative NLR was 3.1 ± 2.2,and the SII was(501 ± 323)× 10 9/L. Statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of comorbidities( P = 0.008)and maximum tumor diameter( P = 0.006),while no significant differences were found in other data( P > 0.05). The Kaplan-Meier survival curve was drawn,and Cox regression was used to analyze the prognostic factors of progression-free survival(PFS)and overall survival(OS)of patients. Results:Among the 33 patients,low-grade adenocarcinoma and high-grade adenocarcinoma accounted for 60.6% and 39.4% respectively according to the postoperative pathology,and 3 patients had positive surgical margins. There were 22 cases of muscle-invasive bladder adenocarcinoma,5 cases of lymph node metastasis,and 1 case of distant metastasis. The patients in tumor stages Ⅰ—Ⅳ were 9 cases(27.3%),8 cases(24.2%),7 cases(21.2%),and 9 cases(27.3%)respectively. Nine patients received postoperative adjuvant therapy,including 6 with adjuvant chemotherapy,2 with adjuvant chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy,and 1 with adjuvant immunotherapy. In the radical cystectomy group( n = 23),there were 13 cases of low-grade and 10 cases of high-grade pathological grading,2 cases with positive margins,19 cases of muscle-invasive bladder adenocarcinoma,5 cases of lymph node metastasis,1 case of distant metastasis,and 5 patients received adjuvant therapy(4 cases of adjuvant chemotherapy,and 1 case of adjuvant immunotherapy). In the bladder-sparing group( n = 10),there were 7 cases of low-grade,3 cases of high-grade pathological grading,1 case with positive margins,3 cases of muscle-invasive bladder adenocarcinoma,zero lymph node or distant metastasis,and 4 patients received adjuvant therapy(2 cases of adjuvant chemotherapy,and 2 cases of combined adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy). A statistically significant difference was found in the proportion of muscle-invasive bladder adenocarcinoma between the two groups( P = 0.006),while no significant differences were observed in other data( P > 0.05).The median follow-up duration of the patients was 28.0 months,the median PFS was 86.0 months,and the median OS was 90.0 months. The 2-year PFS and OS were 65.4% and 73.1% respectively. The 5-year PFS and OS were 54.2% and 56.5% respectively. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that there were no significant differences in PFS( P = 0.777)and OS( P = 0.585)between the radical cystectomy group and the bladder-preserving group. Female( P = 0.011),BMI < 25 kg/m2( P = 0.038),and positive surgical margins( P < 0.01)were associated with poorer PFS. Aged ≥ 70 years( P = 0.003),lymph node metastasis( P = 0.041),and positive surgical margins( P = 0.025)were associated with poorer OS,and patients in the adjuvant therapy group had better OS( P = 0.005). Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that positive surgical margins(HR 10.2, P = 0.012)were an independent impact factor for PFS,and positive surgical margins(HR 39.8, P = 0.001)and adjuvant therapy(HR 0.12, P = 0.021)were independent impact factors for OS. Conclusions:Positive surgical margins and adjuvant therapy are independent impact factors for the prognosis of patients with primary ACB.

Objective:ANXA2 plays a crucial role in cancer metastasis, but its mechanism is not yet fully understood. Therefore, it is necessary to establish an ANXA2 gene knockout mouse model to provide an effective tool for subsequent studies on ANXA2-related mechanisms.Methods:A gene knockout mouse model was constructed using CRISPR/Cas9 technology. The model was validated through tissue DNA extraction followed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), sequencing, and western blot to confirm ANXA2 genotype and protein expression. The successfully constructed models were divided into a model group and a wild-type (WT) group for the creation of a mouse tail vein injection Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) metastasis model. Metastatic foci formation was monitored using in vivo imaging technology, and the survival rates of the two groups were compared. Results:An sgRNA sequence targeting the first exon of ANXA2 was designed, and 16 founder mice were obtained through microinjection. Through consanguineous hybridization, 30 homozygous offspring were ultimately acquired. After establishing the strains of the mouse model, mice were divided into the ANXA2 knockout group and the WT group, with 8 mice in each group. An LLC lung metastasis model was established in both groups. Compared with the WT group, the number of metastatic foci was significantly increased in the ANXA2 knockout group (7 vs. 1), and the fluorescence intensity was stronger in the WT group than in the knockout group ( P=0.002). Using the GEPIA2 database to analyze ANXA2 gene expression in tumor tissues and normal tissues of lung cancer patients, it was found that ANXA2 expression levels were significantly higher in lung cancer tumor tissues compared to normal tissues ( P<0.05). The database included data from 478 lung cancer patients, and patients were stratified into high-expression and low-expression groups based on ANXA2 levels. Compared to the low-expression group, patients in the high-expression group exhibited significantly shorter disease-free survival and overall survival ( P<0.05, respectively). The survival time of mice in the ANXA2 knockout group (median survival time, 43 days) was significantly longer compared to the WT group (median survival time, 26 days; P=0.017). Additionally, ANXA2 expression is significantly associated with the prognosis of lung cancer patients ( P=6.4e-14). Conclusions:ANXA2 is closely associated with cancer metastasis and holds potential as a new target for metastasis treatment. Further in-depth research will greatly facilitate the transition of ANXA2 from basic research to clinical application.
