BACKGROUND:Due to the complex movement of the scapula,which is a six-degree-of-freedom activity in three-dimensional space,it is difficult to measure it accurately using traditional methods.The image and model matching technology based on dual-plane X-ray is a three-dimensional measurement method that has gradually developed and matured in recent years.Two high-speed cameras are used to project and shoot from orthogonal directions.Compared with a single perspective,this method has advantages in observation range and reduction of out-of-plane errors,and is suitable for the study of scapula kinematics.OBJECTIVE:X-ray biplane and image-model registration technology were used to explore the differences in scapular kinematics between normal individuals and patients with rotator cuff tears,providing a basis for the treatment and rehabilitation of rotator cuff tear patients.METHODS:From April 2023 to January 2024,10 patients with normal shoulders and 10 patients with rotator cuff tears who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled from Guanghua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.The subjects underwent a shoulder CT scan to create a 3D model and a local scapular coordinate system.X-ray biplane images were taken during shoulder abduction with two C-arm machines.The 2D and 3D images were registered to compare scapular kinematic differences between the two groups at 0°,15°,30°,45°,60°,75°,and 90° of abduction,including scapular rotation angle and displacement distance.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)During shoulder abduction,the scapula of both groups showed upward rotation,but the upward rotation of the rotator cuff tear group was greater than that of the control group,and the difference was significant when the abduction was 30°-90°(P＜0.01).At the same time,the scapula internal rotation of both groups gradually increased,but the rotator cuff tear group was significantly greater than the control group when the abduction was 45°-90°(P＜0.01).In addition,the anteroposterior tilt of the scapula of the two groups was significantly different when the abduction was 15°-90°(P＜0.01).The scapula posterior tilt of the control group gradually increased during abduction,while the scapula of the rotator cuff tear group tilted forward except for a slight posterior tilt at 15°-30° abduction.(2)In terms of displacement,the upward displacement of the rotator cuff tear group was less than that of the control group during abduction,and the difference was significant at 15°-90°(P＜0.05),but there was no significant difference in lateral and anterior-posterior displacement between the two groups(P＞0.05).(3)Rotator cuff tear can cause scapular dyskinesis,characterized by increased upward rotation,internal rotation,and abnormal forward tilt during shoulder abduction.Identifying and addressing scapular dyskinesis is crucial for treating rotator cuff tear.

OBJECTIVE To explore a new model of intelligent medication education for pharmaceutical outpatient clinics by constructing dynamic HTML web pages through the DeepSeek-V3-0324 large-scale model. METHODS Clinical pharmacists integrated key clinical information such as patients’ basic information， medication history and medication precautions in real time， and generated a standardized medication education list through the DeepSeek-V3-0324 large-scale model and manual review. RESULTS The DeepSeek-V3-0324 large-scale model was applied in the pharmaceutical outpatient clinics to generate a personalized medication education list， which could effectively solve the disunity of pharmacy guidance caused by the lack of standardization of medication education and the difference of individualized experience of pharmacists in the traditional pharmaceutical outpatient clinics in the face of complex cases， and medication errors caused by forgetting or misremembering information among certain special patient populations after receiving medication education. CONCLUSIONS The transformation and application of artificial intelligence technology in pharmaceutical outpatient clinics is an innovation of pharmaceutical outpatient service means， which can provide patients with immediate and personalized medication education and improve the quality of pharmaceutical care. However， it is also necessary to face the lag of database update and the lack of risk management， as well as the lack of diversification of medication education lists.

Objective To explore the clinical significance and to investigate the expression of TOMM40L in the tis-sue of triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC).Methods The expression of TOMM40L in TNBC tissues and normal tissues was analyzed with TCGA and UALCAN databases.Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis and Nomogram model were used to evaluate the prognostic value of TOMM40L in TNBC patients.Furthermore,the ex-pression of TOMM40L in breast cancer cell lines was evaluated using Western blot analysis and quantitative real-time PCR.Specific siRNA knockdown was performed to evaluate the migration,and cell proliferation of TOMM40L.The potential signaling pathways of TOMM40L were identified by GO and KEGG and GSEA.Results TOMM40L was highly expressed in the TNBC compared to non-TNBC tumor tissues(P＜0.001).TOMM40L levels were en-hanced in TNBC cell lines as compared to other non-TNBC cell lines.CCK-8 and Transwell assay demonstrated that TOMM40L knockdown reduced the proliferation and migration of TNBCcell lines.Functional enrichment analysis showed that TOMM40L was involved in glucose metabolism-related pathways.Conclusions The expression of TOMM40L is increased in TNBC and is correlated with poor prognosis.TOMM40L may promote TNBC migration and proliferation.

Glucosidases are an indispensable class of enzymes in the sugar metabolism of organisms. To investigate the biological functions and expression patterns of α-glucosidases (AGLUs) and β-glucosidases (BGLUs), we identified the two family members in the genome of melon (Cucumis melo). The number, location on chromosomes, gene structure, subcellular localization, conserved motifs, and phylogenetic relationship of the two family members were analyzed. Based on the cis-acting elements in the promoter region and protein interaction models, their functions were preliminarily predicted. Furthermore, the gene expression of the two family members was determined by qRT-PCR. The results showed that the melon genome contained five AGLU family members on five chromosomes, and all of the five members were located in the extracellular matrix, with the amino acid sequence lengths ranging from 899 aa to 1 060 aa. The melon genome carried 18 BGLU family members on 8 chromosomes, and all the members were located in the cell membrane or cytoplasm, with the amino acid lengths ranging from 151 aa to 576 aa. The qRT-PCR results showed that the expression of about 50% of the genes was down-regulated upon cold stress. CmAGLU5 and CmBGLU7 may be key members of the two families, respectively, in response to cold stress. The expression of all members of the two families was up-regulated under abscisic acid (ABA), high salt, and drought stress. In the AGLU family, CmAGLU3 was the key gene in response to ABA and high salt stress, while CmAGLU4 was the key gene in response to drought stress. In the BGLU family, CmBGLU18 was the key gene in response to ABA, while CmBGLU6 was the key gene in response to high salt and drought stress.

Infection is the main cause of death after burn. Rational application of anti-infective drugs is crucial to control the disease. At present, the commonly used drugs in clinic are silver sulfadiazine, sulfamethazine, silver nitrate, antibiotics, and so on, but the microbial resistance continues to increase. With the development of nanotechnology, as a new type of antibacterial material, nanoparticles have more stable physical and chemical properties. Nanoparticles can achieve the effect of sustained and controlled release of drugs, reduce toxicity and improve bioavailability, which is expected to provide new opportunities for reducing the occurrence of drug resistance. In this article, the current research progresses of topical anti-infection nano preparations for burns were reviewed, in order to provide references for the research of new nano-drug delivery systems.

Objective:To evaluate the role of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in long-term cognitive impairment after multiple sevoflurane anesthesia in newborn mice.Methods:Clean-grade healthy male C57BL/6 mice, aged 6 days, were used in this study. Ten mice were divided into 2 groups ( n=5 each) by the random number table method: control group (group C) and sevoflurane group (group S). The animals inhaled 3% sevoflurane for 2 h at 6, 7 and 8 days after birth. The DHA content was detected by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry at 9 days of age. Fifty-two mice were selected and divided into 4 groups ( n=13 each) by a random number table method: control+ normal saline group (group C+ S), sevoflurane anesthesia + normal saline group (group S+ S), control+ DHA group (group C+ D), and sevoflurane anesthesia+ DHA group (group S+ D). The sevoflurane anesthesia method was the same as the one mentioned above. DHA 50 mg/kg was administered by intragastric gavage from postnatal days 6-19 (at 6, 7 and 8 days after birth, 2 h before anesthesia) in C+ D and S+ D groups. The equal volume of normal saline was given instead in C+ S group and S+ S group. The novel object recognition test was conducted at 37 days of age, and the Morris water maze test was performed at 42 days of age. The corpus callosum and hippocampal tissues were isolated at 47 days of age for examination of the ultrastructure of myelin (with a transmission electron microscope) and for determination of the expression of myelin basic protein (MBP) in hippocampal tissues (by Western blot). The G-ratio was calculated. Results:Compared with group C, the content of DHA in hippocampal tissues was significantly decreased in group S ( P<0.05). Compared with group C+ S, the discrimination index was significantly decreased, the percentage of duration of staying at the target platform quadrant and the number of crossing the original platform were decreased, the expression of MBP was down-regulated, and the G-ratio in the original platform and hippocampus was increased in S+ S group ( P<0.05). Compared with group S+ S, the discrimination index was significantly increased, the percentage of duration of staying at the target platform quadrant and the number of crossing the original platform were increased, the expression of MBP was up-regulated, and the G-ratio in the original platform and hippocampus was decreased in S+ D group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The mechanism of long-term cognitive impairment following multiple sevoflurane anesthesia may be related to a decrease in the content of DHA, which subsequently leads to myelin structural damage in neonatal mice.

Objective To achieve a preliminary understanding of the current situation of clinical laboratories in Guangdong Province,and discuss how to establish a sound investigation system,and utilize quality indicators to improve laboratory quality through the inves-tigation and analysis of data from 16 clinical laboratory quality indicators issued by the National Center for Clinical Laboratories.Meth-ods The questionnaire was issued by Clinet-EQA system and the basic information and quality indicator information during 2023 were collected.SPSS 20.0 software was used for statistical analysis according to different specialty categories and hospital grades.The 13 quality indicators measured in rate-based units were evaluated by sigma measurement.The P75,P50 and P25 percentiles of the overall distribution of each quality index were used to explore the optimal,appropriate and minimum quality specifications.Results A total of 577 laboratories participated in this survey.In addition to the implementation rate of internal quality assessment and the inter-laboratory comparison rate,the median sigma(σ)value of 11/13 quality indicators was greater than 3σ,and some of them even reach the level of 6σ,and there were disparities between hospital laboratories at different grades.The turnaround time(TAT)of the whole process of emergency examination was significantly less than those of inpatient and outpatient,TAT before emergency examination was controlled within 20 min,TAT before outpatient examination was within 30 min,and TAT before inpatient examination was within 42 min.The optimal quality specifications of 8 out of 13 indicators reached 6σ level,while the minimum quality specifications of 2 out of 13 indica-tors were lower than 3σ level.Conclusion In Guangdong Province,the overall level of quality indicators in the post-analytical of clin-ical laboratories was superior to that in the pre-analytical and analytical process.It should be essential to continuously monitor quality indicators and actively adopt improvement measures for those laboratories with unsatisfactory results,so as to enhance the examination quality of laboratories.

Objective To explore the T/NK cell-related differentially expressed genes(T/NK-DEGs)related to the prognosis of liver cancer based on the single-cell RNA-seq data,gene expression data and clinical information in the GEO and TCGA databases,and construct the prognostic model of liver cancer.Methods The single-cell RNA-seq data and gene expression matrices of liver cancer were obtained from the GEO database.The TCGA-LIHC cohorts,including mRNA expression data,clinical information,survival infor-mation,and somatic mutation data,were obtained from the TCGA database.Based on the two databases,the prognostic model of liver cancer patients was constructed by the bioinformatics method,and the performance of the model was predicted.Results Two T/NK-DEGs,PTTG1 and UBE2C,were identified to be associated with the prognosis of liver cancer and a prognostic model of liver cancer was constructed based on them.According to the risk score,the patients were divided into the high-risk score group and low-risk score group,in which the patients with high-risk score had a worse prognosis than those with low-risk score.The areas under the receiv-er operating characteristics(ROC)curve(AUCROC)of the prognostic model at 1-year,3-year and 5-year time points were 0.685,0.647 and 0.594,respectively.The higher risk score was correlated with the advanced pathological stage(Ⅰstage,Ⅱstage,andⅢstage)and T-stage(T1,T2,and T3)(P＜0.05).The prognostic model was able to predict the proportion of tumor infiltrating immune cells,and the sensitivity of immunotherapy and chemotherapy drugs in patients with liver cancer.Conclusion The constructed prog-nostic model in this study has an important role in the prediction of individualized survival and clinical treatment response of patients with liver cancer.

Primary hyperaldosteronism(PHA),the most common cause of secondary hypertension,can lead to cardiovascular and renal damage events.Early diagnosis and accurate typing of PHA is crucial to the choice of treatment options,and its diagnostic modalities usually include prone test screening,captopril test characterization and adrenal vein blood sampling for localization and typing diagnosis.However,with the development of imaging,molecular biology and morphology technologies,the use of nuclear medicine PET-CT,genetic testing and pathological diagnostic methods can also be used to accurately typify PHA.New technologies such as adrenal artery embolization and adrenal radiofrequency ablation are also increasingly being used in the treatment of PHA,which have the advantages of shorter and less costly surgery,fewer postoperative complications,and quicker recovery.This article provides a review of the developments in the screening,diagnosis and treatment of PHA with a view to informing clinical practice.
