ObjectiveTo investigate the safety and efficacy of transparent cap-assisted peroral cholangiopancreatoscopy-guided electrohydraulic lithotripsy (EHL). MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 60 patients with large common bile duct stones who were admitted to Department of Gastroenterology, Jilin People’s Hospital, from May 1, 2023 to January 31, 2026, and according to the treatment method, the patients were divided into transparent cap-assisted peroral cholangiopancreatoscopy-guided electrohydraulic lithotripsy group and peroral cholangiopancreatoscopy-guided electrohydraulic lithotripsy group, with 30 patients in each group. The two groups were compared in terms of the rate of successful single-session stone fragmentation and removal, procedural time, duration of electrohydraulic lithotripsy, clinical success rate, and complications. The independent-samples t test or the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups, and the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. ResultsCompared with the peroral cholangiopancreatoscopy-guided electrohydraulic lithotripsy group, the transparent cap-assisted peroral cholangiopancreatoscopy-guided electrohydraulic lithotripsy group had a significantly higher technical success rate (83.33% vs 60.00%, χ2=4.022, P=0.045) and significantly shorter procedural time [46.00 (42.25 — 49.00) min vs 54.50 (42.00 — 65.00) min, Z=2.012, P=0.044] and duration of electrohydraulic lithotripsy [8.00 (6.25 — 11.75) min vs 13.50 (9.25 — 17.75) min, Z=2.749, P=0.006]. Both groups achieved a clinical success rate of 100%, with no significant difference in the incidence rate of complications (P>0.05). ConclusionTransparent cap-assisted peroral cholangiopancreatoscopy-guided electrohydraulic lithotripsy has a high rate of successful single-session stone fragmentation and removal and a short procedural time, with good safety and efficacy, and therefore, it holds promise for clinical application.

Against the backdrop of comprehensively advancing the construction of a “Healthy China” and promoting the core socialist values, the traditional closed governance model of medical humanities is confronted with multiple challenges such as imbalances in health resource allocation, cultural-cognitive conflicts, and data barriers. Grounded in social-ecological system theory, this study argued that the modern evolution of medical humanities inevitably shifted toward a health humanities ecology centered on “people’s health.” Through the value recognition and reconstruction of health humanities, a “four-dimensional” governance framework comprising the value, element, process, and management dimensions was constructed, and corresponding analytical models and measurement indicators were established. It particularly emphasized that medicine represented a means to achieve health, whereas universal health constituted the ultimate value destination of humanistic governance. Furthermore, action pathways for Chinese-style resilience governance were proposed. First, it was necessary to strengthen cooperation promotion mechanisms among multiple stakeholders, thereby highlighting the institutional advantages of socialism in terms of solidarity and collaboration. Second, it was essential to promote data standardization across the entire chain of health humanities governance, thus serving the modernization of China’s national governance system and governance capacity. Third, it was vital to innovate explicit measurement methods for health humanities values, thereby reinforcing quality orientation and responsibility awareness.

Objective:To construct an in situ pancreatic tumor model in mice and explore the mechanism of neuromedin U (NMU) remodeling the metabolic microenvironment of pancreatic tumors via the Hedgehog signaling pathway.Methods:C57BL/6 NMU -/- heterozygous mice were bred in one cage with a female-to-male ratio of 2:1. The tail tissues of offspring rats were taken, and knockout primers were designed according to the sequence structure of NMU gene. The C57BL/6 NMU -/- mouse genotypes were identified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and agarose gel electrophoresis. Five C57BL/6 NMU -/- homozygotes and five wild type mice aged 8 to 9 weeks were selected, and Panc02 cell suspension of pancreatic cancer in logarithmic growth phase was injected into pancreatic tail tissue to construct tumor bearing mice model of pancreatic tumor in situ. After 3 weeks of tumor loading, flow cytometry was used to detect the abundance changes of CD8 + T cells in the spleen tissues of two groups of mice. GSE102238 (data published in August 2017) and GSE62452 (data published in July 2016) datasets were download from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, including 119 samples of pancreatic cancer tissue and 111 samples of normal pancreatic tissue adjacent to cancer, and the differential expression factors of the two groups of samples were screened. R language limma package was used to analyze the differential expression of NMU mRNA in pancreatic cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues; the relative expression level of NMU mRNA in pancreatic cancer patients of different ages and tumor grades was analyzed by ggpubr package. The relative expression level data of NMU mRNA in pancreatic tumor patients were extracted, and the patients were divided into high expression group (>2.48) and low expression group (<2.48) based on the median value (2.48). The CIBERSORT algorithm was used to calculate the difference in the content of infiltrating immune cells in pancreatic tumors between the two groups of patients. The overall survival of patients with different relative expression levels of NMU mRNA in the OncoLnc database (59 cases in the high expression group and 59 cases in the low expression group) was compared. The data of 178 patients with pancreatic cancer in TCGA-PAAD of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database (updated in March 2024) were download. According to the median value of relative expression of NMU mRNA (2.740), the patients were divided into the high expression group (>2.740) and the low expression group (<2.740), with 89 cases in each group. GSEA software was used to analyze the biological functions and pathways in which the genes enriched significantly. The molecules and key targets for molecular docking were explored using the large molecule protein interaction tool PDBePISA. Spearman correlation analysis was performed using R language data packets. Results:The results of C57BL/6 NMU -/- mouse genotypes analyzed by using the gel electrophoresis pattern of PCR amplification products of tail tissues showed that the wild type was one 380 bp electrophoretic band, the homozygous type was one 450 bp electrophoretic band, and the heterozygous type was 450 bp and 380 bp electrophoretic bands. After identifying and screening pure strains mouse, reproduction was carried out, and C57BL/6 NMU -/- homozygous mice were successfully obtained. The results of flow cytometry analysis showed that the proportion of CD8 + T cells in the spleen tissues of C57BL/6 NMU -/- wild-type and homozygous pancreatic tumor bearing mice was (30.38±0.37)% and (37.00±0.48)%, with a statistically significant difference between the two groups ( t = 9.79, P < 0.001). The absolute values of CD8 + T cells were (8.36±0.27)×10 4 and (10.20±0.28)×10 4, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 3.71, P = 0.013). In the GEO database GSE102238 and GSE62452 datasets, there were differentially expressed genes in pancreatic cancer tissues compared with adjacent tissues, including 219 up-regulated genes and 325 down-regulated genes in pancreatic cancer tissues; among them, NMU was an upregulated differentially expressed gene. The relative expression of NMU mRNA in patients aged > 65 year or grade G3-G4 was higher than that in patients aged ≤ 65 years or grade G1-G2, and the differences were statistically significant (both P < 0.05). The analysis results of CIBERSORT algorithm showed that the expression abundance of CD8 + T cells, initial CD4 + T cells, activated memory CD4 + T cells, and γδ T cells in the high expression group of NMU was lower than that in the low expression group (all P < 0.05). The overall survival of the high expression group of NMU was worse than that of the low expression group in the OncoLnc database ( P = 0.010). GSEA enrichment analysis and Spearman correlation analysis revealed significant changes in the Hedgehog signaling pathway, biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids and pyrimidine nucleotide metabolism, which affected tumor metabolic remodeling. Conclusions:NMU may remodel the tumor microenvironment of pancreatic cancer by regulating Hedgehog signaling pathway.

Objective:To conduct a scoping review on the current status, assessment tools and influencing factors of malnutrition in elderly stroke patients, so as to provide new ideas for the development of individualized nutritional intervention programs.Methods:Studies related to malnutrition in elderly stroke patients were searched in China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, WanFang Data, China Biology Medicine disc, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase and Clinical Trial Registration Center. The search period was from the establishment of the database to January 2024. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted information based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, and finally categorized and reported the findings.Results:A total of 33 papers were included. In elderly stroke patients, the prevalence of malnutrition varied between studies. There was a wide range of tools to assess the nutritional status of patients, but there was an overall lack of multidimensional and specific tools. Commonly used was the Short-form Mini-nutritional Assessment. Factors influencing malnutrition in patients included general demographic, disease-related and lifestyle factors, physiologic and biochemical indicators, functional correlates, nutrient literacy-related factors, psychological and supportive factors.Conclusions:Malnutrition in elderly stroke patients is influenced by a variety of factors and seriously affects patient prognosis. Standardized assessment tools should be adopted to detect timely and accurately, take targeted measures for each factor, and carry out personalized intervention programs to promote benign changes in the nutritional status of elderly stroke patients.
