OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy and safety of omadacycline in the treatment of macrolide-unresponsive Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MUMPP) in children. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted on children aged 1-18 years old with MUMPP who were hospitalized in the Department of Pediatrics, the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from January 2022 to June 2025. According to the selection of secondary antibiotics after 72 h of initial treatment with macrolides, they were divided into the omadacycline group and the doxycycline group. Based on conventional treatment, children in the omadacycline group were given intravenous infusion of 2.4 mg/kg (once daily) of omadacycline tosylate, while children in the doxycycline group were given oral doxycycline hydrochloride tablets at 2 mg/kg (twice daily). The efficacy and safety were compared between the two groups of pediatric patients. Univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were performed on clinical efficacy, and subgroup analysis along with multiple sensitivity analyses were conducted to verify the robustness of the conclusions. RESULTS A total of 284 children with MUMPP were included in this study, with 142 in the omadacycline group and 142 in the doxycycline group. In terms of efficacy, although the hospitalization time of children in the omadacycline group was longer than that in the doxycycline group ( P <0.05), the lung lesion absorption rate and clinical efficacy were significantly higher or better than those in the doxycycline group ( P <0.05). The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that medication (OR=5.300, 95%CI: 2.526-11.123), length of hospital stay (OR=1.348, 95%CI: 1.167-1.556), and medication duration (OR=1.422, 95%CI: 1.169-1.729) were influencing factors of clinical efficacy ( P <0.05). The subgroup analysis results showed that the clinical efficacy of omadacycline was significantly better than that of doxycycline in all subgroups ( P <0.05). The results of multiple sensitivity analysis showed that the regression coefficients B of the four models (gradually adjust variables) before and after inverse probability of treatment weighting were significantly greater than 1 ( P <0.05). In terms of safety, there was no statistically significant difference in the inci dence of adverse drug reactions between the two groups of patients ( χ 2 =0.447, P =0.504). CONCLUSIONS In the case of hospitalization and prolonged medication, the efficacy of omadacycline in treating childhood MUMPP is superior to that of doxycycline, and its safety is good.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the antitumor activity of Periplaneta americana extract(PAE) against human-derived lung adenocarcinoma organoids(LUAD-PDOs) and to elucidate its potential mechanism based on transcriptomics. MethodsFresh tumor and adjacent normal tissues from patients with LUAD were collected to construct LUAD-PDOs and normal lung organoid(Nor-PDOs) models using 3D organoid culture technology. The effective intervention concentration of PAE was determined using the cell counting kit-8(CCK-8) assay. Experimental groups included the model group(LUAD-PDOs), normal group, model administration group(LUAD-PDOs+PAE), and normal administration group(Nor-PDOs+PAE). Hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining was used to observe the pathological structures of PDOs, immunohistochemistry(IHC) was performed to detect the expressions of the proliferation marker Ki-67 and lung adenocarcinoma differentiation markers cytokeratin-7(CK-7) and Napsin A, TUNEL staining was applied to detect cell apoptosis. RNA sequencing(RNA-Seq) was conducted to identify differentially expressed genes(DEGs), followed by Gene Ontology(GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG), and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis(GSEA), alongside protein-protein interaction(PPI) network analysis to screen core mechanisms. Finally, key targets were validated by integrating external database analysis with immunofluorescence(IF). ResultsNor-PDOs and LUAD-PDOs that highly recapitulated the pathological characteristics of the primary tissues were successfully established. The CCK-8 assay determined that the effective intervention concentration of PAE was 16 g·L-1. Morphological observation showed that Nor-PDOs exhibited lumen-forming structures, whereas LUAD-PDOs displayed dense, solid structures. CCK-8 and TUNEL assays revealed that, compared with the model group, PAE intervention inhibited the proliferation of LUAD-PDOs and promoted apoptosis in LUAD cells, while showing no significant effect on the viability of Nor-PDOs. Transcriptomic analysis identified 719 DEGs that were significantly reversed after PAE intervention(347 up-regulated and 372 down-regulated)(P<0.05). GO enrichment analysis indicated that DEGs in the model administration group were significantly enriched in biological processes related to cell cycle regulation compared to the model group. KEGG pathway analysis revealed that PAE affected pathways related to proliferation and metabolism, including pathways in cancer and the p53 signaling pathway. GSEA further confirmed that PAE significantly enhanced the activity of the p53 signaling pathway(P<0.05). PPI network analysis indicated that breast cancer type 1 susceptibility protein(BRCA1) and checkpoint kinase 1(CHEK1) were the core down-regulated targets in the p53 pathway. IF verified the high expression of BRCA1 and CHEK1 in LUAD-PDOs and their significant downregulation after PAE intervention(P<0.05). Furthermore, survival analysis based on The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA) database indicated that low expression of BRCA1 and CHEK1 was significantly associated with prolonged overall survival in patients with LUAD(P<0.05). ConclusionPAE effectively inhibits proliferation of LUAD-PDOs and promotes their apoptosis, its anti-tumor mechanism is potentially associated with the activation of the p53 signaling pathway, with BRCA1 and CHEK1 genes likely serving as key downstream targets for the effects of PAE.

Based on LI Gao's Academic Thought, focusing on the process of qi transformation and taking the regulation and restoration of metabolism and immunity as the entry point, a "source-pivot-convergence" diagnostic and therapeutic model for malignant tumors is constructed. In this model, spleen and stomach internal injury is the source of malignant tumor occurrence, while the disorder of ascending and descending is the pivot of the disease development, and the generation of yin fire is the convergence of malignant tumor progression. Based on this, the three major therapeutic methods of clearing the source, harmonizing the pivot, and resolving the convergence are established. To fortify spleen and boost qi, consolidate the root and clear the source, modified Buzhong Yiqi Decoction(补中益气汤)can be used. To raise the clear and direct the turbid downward, regulate qi and harmonize the pivot, modified Shengyang Yiwei Decoction (升阳益胃汤) is suggested. To restore balance and promote circulation, disperse accumulation and resolve convergence, modified Shengyang Sanhuo Decoction (升阳散火汤) is selected. In clinical practice, these formulas can be used in combination according to the complexity of the pathogenesis, and further adapted with prescriptions for promoting dispersion and penetrating pathogenic factors, resolving phlegm and promoting circulation, activating blood and eliminating concretions, which can provide a reference for the prevention and treatment of tumor diseases.

Objective To analyze the causal relationship between immune cell phenotype and gastric cancer. Methods Bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was used to select 731 genetic variants involving immune cell phenotypes from the GWAS dataset as instrumental variables. Inverse-variance weighting method (IVW), weighted median method (WM), and MR-Egger regression were used for sensitivity analysis. Cochran Q test, MR-Egger regression, MR-PRESSO method, and remain-one method were also conducted. Results Changes in the absolute count of IgD+ B cells and CD14-CD16- cells were significantly associated with the risk of gastric cancer. A lower proportion of IgD+ B cells was associated with a lower risk of gastric cancer (OR=0.86, 95%CI: 0.79-0.94), while an increased number of CD4-CD8-T cells was associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer (OR=1.2, 95%CI: 1.1-1.3). Conclusion A causal relationship exists between immune cell phenotype and the risk of gastric cancer. Changes in specific immune markers may regulate the development of gastric cancer by affecting the tumor microenvironment.

ObjectiveBased on the conjoint analysis of transcriptome and metabolome, the key genes in the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway of Lonicera macranthoides were explored, which provided a basis for further exploring the synthesis and regulation mechanism of phenylpropanoid compounds in "Xianglei" L. macranthoides. MethodsThe stem, leaves, and three flowering flowers of "Xianglei" L. macranthoides were selected as experimental materials to construct transcriptome and metabolome. The transcriptome and metabolomics were conjointly analyzed by the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database and weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA), and the key genes in the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway of L. macranthoides were explored. ResultsIn this study, 77 differential phenylpropanoids and 315 differential genes were found. Through the joint analysis of transcription and metabolism, nine key differential metabolites and four key genes related to them were finally discovered. Among them, cinnamic acid, 5-O-caffeoylshikimic acid,sinapyl alcohol, and chlorogenic acid were higher in flowers, and the content of the iconic effective component, namely chlorogenic acid,decreased sharply during the withering period. Caffeic acid,ferulic acid, 5-hydroxyconiferaldehyde,p-coumaryl alcohol, and syringin were higher in leaves. These four key genes belong to the cinnamic alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD) family, 4-coumaric acid: Coenzyme A (4CL) family, hydroxycinnamyl transferase (HCT) family, and L-phenylalanine ammonlyase (PAL) family genes. ConclusionAmong the four key genes excavated from L. macranthoides, TRINITY_DN42767_c0_g6 is related to the synthesis of p-coumaryl alcohol and sinapyl alcohol. TRINITY_DN43525_c4_g1 uses caffeic acid,ferulic acid,and cinnamic acid as substrates to catalyze the next reaction. TRINITY_DN47958_c3_g4 correlates with the synthesis of 3-p-coumaroyl quinic acid and caffeoyl-CoA, and TRINITY_DN52595_c1_g2 correlates with cinnamic acid synthesis. These findings provide a basis for further exploring the synthesis and regulation mechanism of phenylpropanoids in "Xianglei" L. macranthoides.

Objective:To assess the safety of a novel domestically developed direct visualization system of peroral cholangiopancreatoscopy for the exploration of biliary tract.Methods:Clinical data from 384 patients with biliary tract diseases who underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) at the Endoscopy Center of Shanghai Xuhui District Central Hospital from November 2017 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were categorized into 2 groups based on the type of cholangioscope: the novel cholangiopancreatoscopy system group ( n=159) and the SpyGlass group ( n=225). In the novel cholangiopancreatoscopy system group, the new direct visualization system of China-made peroral cholangiopancreatoscopy was used for bile duct exploration, while the SpyGlass group utilized the SpyGlass system for bile duct inspection. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used as a nearest-neighbor method with a caliper of 0.01 to minimize confounding factors, resulting in a balanced sample of 122 patients in each group after matching. The primary outcome was the incidence of short-term complications, with secondary outcomes including technical success rates and post-treatment outcomes. Results:After PSM, there were no significant differences in baseline characteristics between the two groups ( P>0.05). Regarding short-term postoperative complications, pancreatitis occurred in 1.6% (2/122) of patients in the novel cholangiopancreatoscopy system group and 7.4% (9/122) in the SpyGlass group. The new system significantly reduced the incidence of post-procedure pancreatitis ( χ2=4.665, P=0.031). The cholecystitis was absent in the novel cholangiopancreatoscopy system group, while it occurred in 0.8% (1/122) cases in the SpyGlass group, with no significant difference between the two groups after the procedure ( P=1.000). Regarding technical success rate, the novel system group achieved a rate of 99.2% (121/122), while the SpyGlass group achieved 97.5% (119/122) ( P=0.622). A slightly higher success rate was observed in the novel system group.There were 81 cases of postoperative biliary drainage in the novel cholangiopancreatoscopy system group and 74 cases in the SpyGlass group. Conclusion:The novel direct visualization system of peroral cholangiopancreatoscopy is safer than SpyGlass in the exploration of biliary system diseases. Endoscopists are encouraged to choose the appropriate cholangioscopy system based on individual patient characteristics for the direct visualization, diagnosis, and treatment of biliary diseases.
