Objective To investigate the safety of robotic single-site hysterectomy(RSSH)for benign diseases.Methods We retrospectively analyzed data of patients who underwent RSSH or traditional transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site hysterectomy(LESSH)for benign indications from May 2024 to May 2025.The study was comprised of 24 patients in the RSSH group and 42 patients in the LESSH group.Perioperative indicators were compared between the two groups.Results All the surgeries were successfully completed in both groups without conversion or intraoperative/postoperative blood transfusion.The RSSH group had a longer operation time than the LESSH group[161.5(131.3,179.5)min vs.97.5(76.5,123.3)min,Z=-5.226,P＜0.001].However,there were no significant differences in intraoperative blood loss,pre-postoperative hemoglobin difference,postoperative pain score,maximum postoperative temperature,time to flatus,indwelling catheter duration,or postoperative hospital stay(P＞0.05).Conclusion RSSH for benign diseases has a safety profile comparable to traditional LESSH.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of Formononetin on mice with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia(MPP)by regulating the mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK)/nuclear factor κB(NF-κB)signaling pathway.Methods Six-week-old SPF-grade male BALB/c mice were selected.The MPP mouse model was established as the model group by instillating Mycoplasma pneumoniae bacterial solution through the nose.On the second day after successful modeling,mice were intraperitoneally injected with 15,30,and 60 mg/kg of Formononetin and 60 mg/kg of Formononetin+20 mg/kg of Anisomycin respectively as the low-dose,medium-dose,and high-dose Formononetin groups and the high-dose Formononetin+Anisomycin group,with 12 mice in each group.Another 12 mice were intraperitoneally injected with the same amount of 0.9％sodium chloride injection as the control group.The cough frequency of mice in each group was detected through the cough induction test.The partial pressure of carbon dioxide(PCO2)and partial pressure of oxygen(PO2)in each group of mice were detected by a blood gas analyzer,and the oxygenation index(OI)was calculated.The levels of inflammatory factors in each group were detected by ELISA,and the apoptosis of lung tissue cells in each group of mice was detected by TUNEL.HE staining was performed to observe the pathological changes of lung tissues in each group.The expression of MAPK/NF-κB pathway-related proteins in the lung tissues of mice in each group was detected by Western blot method.Results The lung tissue morphology of the mice in the control group was normal.The alveolar ducts and alveolar structures of mice in the model group were damaged,the alveolar septa thickened,and there was a large amount of inflammatory cell infiltration.Compared with the model group,the lung tissue morphology was improved in the low-dose,medium-dose and high-dose Formononetin groups.The lung tissue injury in the high-dose Formononetin+Anisamycin group was more severe compared with the high-dose Formononetin group.Compared with the control group,the cough latency period in the model group was shortened,and PO2,OI,and interleukin-10(IL-10)were decreased,while the frequency of coughing,PCO2,interleukin-18(IL-18),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),apoptosis rate,and the ratios of p-P38 MAPK/P38 MAPK,p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65,p-extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2(ERK1/2)/ERK1/2,and p-C-jun N-terminal kinase(p-JNK)/JNK increased(P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,the low-,medium-and high-dose Formononetin groups had improved lung tissue morphology,prolonged cough latency,increased PO2,OI and IL-10,and reduced cough frequency.The PCO2,IL-18,TNF-α,apoptosis rate,and the ratios of p-p38 MAPK/P38 MAPK,p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65,ERK1/2/ERK1/2,and p-JNK/JNK decreased(P＜0.05).In the low-,medium-,and high-dose Formononetin groups,with the increase of Formononetin dose,the cough latency gradually prolonged,the cough frequency gradually decreased,and the PO2,oxygenation index,and IL-10 gradually increased.The PCO2,IL-18,TNF-α,apoptosis rate and the ratios of p-p38 MAPK/P38 MAPK,p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65,p-ERK1/2/ERK1/2,and p-JNK/JNK gradually decreased(P＜0.05).Compared with the high-dose Formononetin group,the high-dose Formononetin+Anisamycin group had shorter cough latency,lower PO2,OI and IL-10.The frequency of coughing,PCO2,IL-18,TNF-α,apoptosis rate,and the ratios of p-p38 MAPK/P38 MAPK,p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65,p-ERK1/2/ERK1/2,and p-JNK/JNK increased(P＜0.05).Conclusion Formononetin may improve lung injury in MPP mice by inhibiting the MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of miR-155-5p targeting suppressor of cytokine signaling 1(SOCS1)in regulating the Janus kinase 2(JAK2)/signal transducer and activator of transcrip-tion 3(STAT3)signaling pathway in renal injury associated with lupus nephritis(LN).Methods Thirty female MRL-faslpr lupus model mice were randomly divided into five groups(n=6 per group):the model group,the antagomir NC group,the miR-155-5p antagomir group,the miR-155-5p antagomir+shRNA control group,and the miR-155-5p antagomir+SOCS1 shRNA group.The mice were treated with adeno-associated virus vectors carrying miR-155-5p antagomir,antagomir NC,SOCS1 shRNA,or shRNA control.Additionally,six age-matched C57BL/6 mice served as a control group and received an equivalent volume of saline.Serum blood urea nitrogen(BUN)and creatinine(Scr)levels,renal histopathological changes,and the expression levels of miR-155-5p,SOCS1,phosphorylated JAK2(p-JAK2),and phosphorylated STAT3(p-STAT3)in renal tissues were evaluated.Results Compared with the normal group,the model group exhibited significantly elevated levels of BUN,Scr,miR-155-5p,p-JAK2,and p-STAT3 proteins in the kidneys(P<0.01),while the expression level of SOCS1 was markedly reduced(P<0.01).Compared with both the model group and the antagomir NC group,the miR-155-5p antagomir group showed decreased levels of BUN,Scr,miR-155-5p,p-JAK2,and p-STAT3 proteins(P<0.01),along with a significant increase in SOCS1 expression(P<0.01).Similarly,compared with the miR-155-5p antagomir group and the miR-155-5p antagomir+shRNA control group,the miR-155-5p antagomir+SOCS1 shRNA group demon-strated significantly higher levels of BUN,Scr,miR-155-5p,p-JAK2,and p-STAT3 proteins(P<0.01),while SOCS1 expression was notably decreased(P<0.01).Renal pathology analysis revealed that,compared to the normal group,the model group exhibited glomerular atrophy,extensive infiltration of inflammatory cells in the renal tubulointerstitial region,and partial renal tubular necrosis.In contrast,the miR-155-5p antagomir group showed marked improvements in glomerular atrophy,tubular necrosis,and inflammatory cell infiltration compared with the model group and antagomir NC group.Furthermore,compared with the miR-155-5p antagomir group and the miR-155-5p antagomir+shRNA control group,the miR-155-5p antagomir+SOCS1 shRNA group exhibited more severe glomerular atrophy,tubular necrosis,and inflammatory cell infiltration.Conclusion MiR-155-5p exacerbates renal damage in MRL-faslpr lupus model mice by targeting SOCS1,potentially through the activation of the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of transabdominal uterine electromyography for pre-term labor after tocolysis in women with threatened preterm labor.Methods:A total of 48 pregnant women at 28-34 weeks of gestation diagnosed with threatened preterm labor and admitted to The Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Soo-chow University from January to September 2023 were included.According to the response to tocolysis and whether the pregnancy was prolonged for at least 48 h,women were divided into two groups:non-preterm birth within 48 h(n=35)and preterm birth within 48 h(n=13).Uterine electromyography parameters and difference were compared before and after tocolytic therapy in two groups.Univariate Logistic regression was performed to predict the related factors of preterm birth within 48 h after the using of tocolysis in pregnant women with threat-ened preterm birth by uterine electromyography,and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was per-formed to evaluate their performance.Results:Compared to before treatment with tocolysis,after therapy,in the non-preterm birth within 48 h group,significant reductions in contraction frequency,area,duration and amplitude were observed(P<0.05).In the preterm birth within 48 h group,only contraction frequency decreased significant-ly(P<0.05).Univariate Logistic regression indicated that contraction frequency,contraction duration,and contrac-tion area were predictive factors for premature birth within 48 h after tocolysis(P<0.05).When the duration of u-terine contractions lasting for 104.55 s or more the sensitivity and specificity of predicting premature birth within 48 h are 92.3％and 68.6％,respectively.Conclusions:Uterine electromyography may predict the premature birth within 48 h after tocolytic treatment in preterm labor,which may provide reference for subsequent corticosteroid therapy or transfer of high-risk pregnant patients.

In order to establish a method for the detection of serum antibodies to donkey-derived e-quine coronavirus(ECoV),recombinant ECoV N protein was expressed in E.coli system,purified by nickel column affinity chromatography and identified by Western blot.After optimizing the re-action conditions,the indirect ELISA(iELISA)detection method was established using the puri-fied recombinant protein as coating antigen and used to detect 143 clinical serum samples.The re-sults showed that the recombinant N protein,which has good reaction activity with serum antibod-y,was successfully expressed.The optimum conditions of the established iELISA method were as follows:the amount of antigen coated was 0.2 μg/well and overnight at 4 ℃,10％skimmed milk powder solution was sealed at 37℃ for 1.5 h,the dilution concentration of serum was 1∶200,and the enzyme-labeled secondary antibody diluted at 1∶10 000.The sensitivity test results showed that the positive serum could be diluted to 1∶6 400.The specificity test results showed that all an-tibodies to several donkey pathogens were negative.The repetitive test results showed that the in-tra-and inter-batch coefficients of variation were 2.90％-6.12％and 2.29％-7.88％respectively.The positive rate of clinical donkey serum was 57.3％.The iELISA established in this study pro-vides a technical support for epidemiological investigation and antibody surveillance.

Objective This study aims to compare the efficacy of video stylets and video laryngoscopes in facilitating nasotracheal intubation during oral surgery.Methods A total of 80 patients,aged between 18 and 70 years old,with ASA grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ,scheduled for elective oral surgery under general anesthesia,were randomly assigned to either the video stylet group(Group N)or the video laryngoscope group(Group C),with 40 patients in each group.In Group N,a video stylet was used to shape the tracheal tube at a 90-degree angle,with the shaping position being the vertical distance from the Adam's apple to the nostril.The tube was inserted from the nasal cavity into the throat under direct visualization,and positioned behind the glottis.In Group C,the tube was initially blindly inserted into the nasal cavity without a core.Upon reaching the throat,a video laryngoscope was employed to lift the epiglottis and expose the glottis from the mouth.The tube was then inserted with the aid of intubation forceps or cuff inflation.The primary outcome measure was the intubation time.Additional measures included the time taken for nasal passage,glottis exposure,and the number of intubation attempts and assistant interventions required.Vital signs,including MAP and HR,were recorded at five minutes of quiet rest upon entering the room(T0),during glottis exposure(T1),upon passage of the tube through the glottis(T2),and one minute after the tube entered the trachea(T3).Complications such as epistaxis,oral mucosal bleeding,loose incisors,and postop-erative sore throat were also documented.Results The intubation time and nasal passage time in Group N were significantly shorter than those in Group C(P<0.05).The number of cuff inflations and intubation forceps assisted cases in Group N was significantly lower than in Group C(P<0.05).There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of glottis exposure time,first successful intubation times,C-L glottis classification,and mandibular lift-assisted intubation(P>0.05).The increase in MAP and HR in Group N at T1 and T2 was signifi-cantly less than in Group C(P<0.05).The number of cases with mild epistaxis in Group N was significantly lower than in Group C(P<0.05).Similarly,the number of cases with loose incisors and oral mucosal bleeding in Group N was significantly less than in Group C(P<0.05).Conclusion Compared to the video laryngoscope,the video stylet-guided nasotracheal intubation results in a shorter intubation time,less damage to the oronasopharynx,eliminates the need for intubation forceps,and reduces the patient's stress and vascular stress response during intubation.

Objective To explore the effect of CB-103 on pyroptosis in oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC)cells via the reactive oxygen species(ROS)/caspase-3/gasdermin-E(GSDME)signaling pathway.Methods The OSCC cell line SCC-7 was treated with varying concentrations of CB-103(0,20,40,60,80,and 100 μg/mL).The proliferation activity of CB-103 cells was measured using cell counting kit-8(CCK-8)assay.The cell migration was assessed using a wound-healing assay.Morphological changes in the cells were observed under an inverted microscope.Western blotting was performed to evaluate the protein expression of GSDME,GSDME-N ter-minal,and cleaved caspase-3.ATP release was measured using an ATP detection kit.The levels of intracellular high-mobility group box 1(HMGB1)and ROS were quantified by immunofluorescence.Results Compared to the control group,CB-103 inhibited the proliferation and migration of SCC-7 cells.Additionally,CB-103 increased ROS levels and upregulated the expression of cleaved caspase-3 protein.Furthermore,CB-103 promoted the cleavage of GSDME and increased the number of GSDME-N terminal fragments(all P＜0.05),thereby inducing pyroptosis in SCC-7 cells.Conclusion CB-103 promotes pyroptosis in OSCC cells by activating the ROS/caspase-3/GSDME pathway.

Objective To investigate the effects of meropenem and amikacin on gut microbiota diversity and composition in a neonatal rat model of necrotizing enterocolitis(NEC).Methods Neonatal SD rats(1～2 d,weighing 5～10 g,both sexes)were subjected to establish a NEC model through artificial formula feeding,hypoxic-cold stress,and lipopolysaccharide(LPS)gavage.The rats were randomly divided into normal control group(Group C,n=12),NEC group(Group N,n=20),meropenem intervention group(Group M,n=20),and amikacin intervention group(Group A,n=20).Following modeling,Group M and Group A received intraperitoneal injections of meropenem(125 mg/kg)or amikacin(468 mg/kg),twice daily for 3 consecutive days.Groups C and N were administered an equal volume of normal saline.At the end of the intervention,colonic contents or fecal samples were collected.The gut microbiota structure was analyzed using 16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing.Bioinformatics analysis was performed using the QIIME2 platform.Alpha diversity was evaluated using Chao1,Shannon,and Simpson indices.Beta diversity was assessed based on Bray-Curtis distance through principal coordinate analysis(PCoA)and non-metric multidimensional scaling(NMDS).Venn and UpSet plots were generated to visualize the composition and overlap of operational taxonomic units(OTUs).Linear discriminant analysis effect size(LEfSe)was applied to identify differentially abundant taxa across groups.Results High-throughput 16S rDNA sequencing showed that the N group had significantly lower 3 indices of α diversity than the C group(P<0.01),that is,a Chao1 index from 230 to 40,a Shannon index from 1.65 to 0.85,and a Simpson index from 0.65 to 0.42.After antibiotic intervention,both the M group and A group obtained obvious increases in the Chao1 index than the N group(P<0.001),with a greater increase observed in the M group than in the A group(P<0.05).However,neither antibiotic group exhibited notable improvements in the Shannon index or Simpson index compared with the N group(P>0.05).Venn and UpSet analyses revealed that the M group had the highest number of unique OTUs(283),while the A group shared the most OTUs(63)with the C group.PCoA and NMDS analyses indicated that the microbial structure of the A group was closer to that of the C group,with better clustering.Taxonomic composition and LEfSe analysis demonstrated that the N group was enriched with potentially pathogenic taxa such as Escherichia coli B2 and Klebsiella under the phylum Proteobacteria,while beneficial bacteria including Lactobacillaceae and Bifidobacteriaceae(phylum Firmicutes)were significantly reduced,indicating severe dysbiosis.In contrast,the A group exhibited a significant increase in beneficial bacteria and a structural tendency toward ecological recovery.The M group,however,was enriched with various conditionally pathogenic and environmentally associated genera,displaying a microbial configuration notably deviating from a healthy state.Conclusion Meropenem and amikacin exhibit differential regulatory effects on the intestinal microbiota in the context of NEC.Amikacin demonstrates superior efficacy in restoring microbial stability and levels of beneficial bacteria,whereas meropenem,although effective for early infection control,warrants caution due to its potential long-term impact on the gut microbiome.
