N-acetyl-p-aminophenol （APAP） is an antipyretic analgesic commonly used in clinical practice， and APAP overdose can cause severe liver injury and even death. In recent years， the incidence rate of APAP-induced liver injury （AILI） tends to increase， and it has become the second most common cause of liver transplantation worldwide. Autophagy is a highly conserved catabolic process that removes unwanted cytosolic proteins and organelles through lysosomal degradation to achieve the metabolic needs of cells themselves and the renewal of organelles. A large number of studies have shown that autophagy plays a key role in the pathophysiology of AILI， involving the mechanisms such as APAP protein conjugates， oxidative stress， JNK activation， mitochondrial dysfunction， inflammatory response and apoptosis. This article elaborates on the biological mechanism of autophagy in AILI， in order to provide a theoretical basis for the treatment of AILI and the development of autophagy regulators.

Pterygium is a proliferative disorder of the conjunctiva associated with chronic ocular surface inflammation, and the pathogenesis remains incompletely understood. The previous research focusing solely on single pathogens like human papillomavirus(HPV)has shifted towards emphasizing the central role of microbial dysbiosis. Recent studies indicate that ocular surface dysbiosis plays a critical role in the development and progression of pterygium by disrupting ocular surface immune homeostasis. Research has demonstrated that environmental factors(such as ultraviolet radiation, high altitude, and dust exposure)can induce a reduction in microbial diversity and an increased abundance of opportunistic pathogens(such as corynebacterium). This dysbiotic state activates pattern recognition receptors(PRRs), triggering the release of inflammatory cytokines via signaling pathways like NF-κB, thereby initiating chronic ocular surface inflammation. This inflammatory cascade promotes aberrant epithelial proliferation, angiogenesis, and impaired tissue repair, ultimately driving pterygium formation. This review aims to elucidate the pivotal role of the ocular surface microbiota-immune-inflammation axis in pterygium pathogenesis, providing a foundation for exploring more effective prevention and treatment strategies.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors and prognostic value of the textbook outcome (TO) in patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC) who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgical resection.Methods:This is a retrospective cohort study. A total of 253 patients with AGC who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with gastrectomy and D2 lymphadenectomy in the Department of Gastric Surgery, Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from January 2010 to December 2019 were retrospectively included. There were 195 males and 58 females, aged (60.3±10.0) years (range: 27 to 75 years). The patients were then divided into the TO group ( n=168) and the non-TO group ( n=85). Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent predictors of TO. Univariate and multivariate Cox analysis were used to analyze independent prognosis factors for overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). Propensity score matching was performed to balance the TO and non-TO groups, and the Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rates and draw survival curves. Results:Among the 253 patients, 168 patients (66.4%) achieved TO. The Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group score ( OR=0.488, 95% CI: 0.278 to 0.856, P=0.012) and ypN stage ( OR=0.626, 95% CI:0.488 to 0.805, P<0.01) were independently predictive of TO. Multivariate analysis revealed that TO was an independent risk factor for both OS ( HR=0.662, 95% CI: 0.457 to 0.959, P=0.029) and DFS ( HR=0.687, 95% CI: 0.483 to 0.976, P=0.036). After matching, the 5-year OS rate (42.2% vs. 27.8%) and the 5-year DFS rate (37.5% vs. 27.8%) were significantly higher in the TO group than in the non-TO group (both P<0.05). Furthermore, patients in the non-TO group benefited significantly from postoperative chemotherapy (both P<0.05), but those in the TO group did not (both P>0.05). Conclusion:TO is an independent prognosis factor in patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery for AGC and is associated with postoperative chemotherapy benefits.

The incidence rate of drug-induced liver injury （DILI） is increasing year by year with unknown mechanisms， and the treatment methods for DILI mainly include drugs， liver support systems， and liver transplantation， all of which have certain limitations. Therefore， the search for safer and more effective treatment methods has become a research hotspot at present. Studies have shown that mesenchymal stem cells and their exosomes can alleviate liver injury by reducing liver inflammation， promoting hepatocyte proliferation and regeneration， inhibiting the apoptosis of hepatocytes， improving oxidative stress， and regulating immunity. This article briefly reviews the role of mesenchymal stem cells and their exosomes in the treatment of DILI， so as to provide a reference for further research.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of C-TI-RADS 3 thyroid nodules with a diameter greater than 2 cm and explore their correlation with gender,nodule ingredient,contralateral cancer presence,diffuse echo changes,TPOAB and TGAB.Methods A retrospective analysis was made on the clinical and pathological information of 94 patients with thyroid nodules who were admitted to our department from September 2022 to March 2023.All the patients underwent cytological and/or histopathological examinations.The proportions of TBS I category,benign tumors,low-risk tumors,and malignant tumors were calculated.The proportion of TBS type Ⅰ,benign tumors,low-risk tumors,and malignant tumors was quantified.Subsequently,a comparative analysis was conducted among the benign,low-risk,and malignant groups in terms of clinical characteristics including gender distribution,nodule composition,contralateral cancer occurrence,diffuse echo changes presence,as well as TPOAB and TGAB levels.Results Seven cases in TBS I category were excluded.Among the remaining 87 cases with confirmed pathology results for nodules,there were 72 benign cases(38 cytology cases and 34 histology cases),5 low-risk thyroid tumors(2 cytology cases and 3 histology cases),10 malignant cases(8 PTC cases,1 FTC case,and 1 MTC case).There was a significant difference in nodule ingredient(cystic/solid)between different pathological types(x2=10.369,P=0.006).However,no statistical significance was found in terms of gender,diffuse echo changes,contralateral cancer presence,TPOAB or TGAB(P＞0.05).Further analysis showed that the proportion of solid component was higher in low-risk tumors than in benign nodules(x2=9.571,P=0.002).No statistical significance was found between malignant nodules and low-risk nodules(x2=2.143,P=0.143),or between malignant nodules and benign nodules(x2=2.165,P=0.141).Conclusion Although TI-RADS 3 nodules are generally considered as potentially benign according to various versions of thyroid imaging reporting and data system,malignant nodules still account for a certain proportion.Attention should be paid to thyroid nodules with a typical ultrasonic signs,such as cystic nodules,thyroid follicular tumors and medullary thyroid carcinoma.Ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration cytopathology is necessary for evaluating benign and malignant nodules.It is necessary to pay attention to unsatisfactory or undiagnosable specimens to improve the accuracy of diagnosis.

In order to prepare monoclonal antibodies with blocking activity against feline TNF-α,this study successfully constructed,expressed and purified the recombinant plasmid pET-28a-sTNFα based on the soluble feline TNF-α(sTNFα)gene,and further investigated the induced ex-pression.The conditions were explored and optimized to identify its biological activity;secondly,the feline TNF-α recombinant protein was used as an immunogen for mouse immunization,after cell fusion,screening of blocking active hybridoma cells and ascites preparation,the obtained mon-oclonal antibodies were tested.The results showed that the pET-28a-sTNFα plasmid was success-fully constructed and the bioactive feline TNF-α recombinant protein was expressed in E.coli sys-tem.The molecular weight was 34 kDa and the 50％inhibitory concentration was 1.22 pg/L.Three monoclonal antibodies(A6-B7-9,H5-E2-94 and C8-A10-100)with blocking activity were success-fully screened out.The results of Western blot showed that all the three mAbs could specifically bind to TNF-α with a titer of 1:512 000.When the concentration of the three mAbs was 100 mg/L,the inhibitory effect on TNF-α was the strongest.In this study,we screened antibodies that can block the activity of cat TNF-α,in order to provide novel,safe and effective candidate drugs for the treatment of TNF-α mediated diseases in cats.

Dengue virus(DENV)diseases are a serious threat to human life and health,and there is no effective vaccine for DENV in China.In this study,a recombinant subunit candidate vaccine for DENV-2 was prepared.Using the ED Ⅲ gene of DENV-2 as the target gene,the recombinant eu-karyotic expression plasmid was constructed and transfected into suspension cells to express the target protein.The appropriate immune dose was screened to immunize mice and the immunogenic-ity was analyzed.The recombinant eukaryotic expression vector of DENV was successfully con-structed and transfected into HEK-293F to express the target protein,which was about 15 kDa in size.The mice were immunized with different doses of recombinant protein mixed with aluminum salt as adjuvant and the immunogenicity was analyzed.On the 35th day after the first immuniza-tion,the serum specific antibody levels of mice in the three protein immunization groups were sig-nificantly higher than those in the adjuvant group and PBS group,and the specific antibody levels of 10 μg D2EDⅢ protein group and 20 μg D2EDⅢ protein group were 1.43 and 1.56 times higher than those of 5 μg D2EDⅢ protein group,respectively.The antibody typing was biased to IgG1,in-dicating that the recombinant subunit candidate vaccine of DENV-2 prepared in this study mainly improved humoral immune response,but there was no significant difference in IgG1 antibody levels among the three protein immunization groups.Considering the immune effect and vaccine cost,the optimal target protein immunization dose per mouse was determined to be 10 μg.In this study,a recombinant subunit candidate vaccine of DENV-2 was prepared,which provides a refer-ence for the prevention of dengue virus.

Objective:To explore the effect and safety of local spraying tranexamic acid after thyroidectomy.Methods:Randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study method was used. Sixty-four patients underwent scheduled thyroidectomy from December 2022 to August 2023 in Baotou Cancer Hospital were selected. The patients were divided into tranexamic acid group and control group by random digits table method with 32 cases each. Before closing the wound during surgery, 16 ml of tranexamic acid injection with concentration of 25 mg/ml was used to wash the wound and 1 ml of tranexamic acid injection (tranexamic acid 100 mg) used to locally spray in tranexamic acid group; 16 ml of the sterile water for injection was used to wash the wound and 1 ml of sterile water for injection was used locally spray in control group, and then the drainage tube was clipped for 20 min. The neck drainage volume on the first to fourth day after surgery and complication were recorded; the C-reactive protein level before and after surgery was detected.Results:Two patients in each group withdrew from the study midway. The drainage volume on the first, second and third day and total drainage volume in tranexamic acid group were significantly lower than those in control group: (29.10 ± 8.04) ml vs. (38.50 ± 8.67) ml, (18.00 ± 7.33) ml vs. (27.20 ± 10.66) ml, (10.70 ± 5.75) ml vs. (14.60 ± 6.83) ml and (69.20 ± 24.48) ml vs. (96.70 ± 31.90) ml, and there was statistical difference ( P<0.01); there was no statistical difference in the drainage volume on the fourth day after surgery between two groups ( P>0.05). There was no statistical difference in C-reactive protein before and after surgery between two groups ( P>0.05). There was 1 case of fever (body temperature 37.5 ℃) in the control group, and there were no complications such as intermuscular thrombosis, venous thrombosis, incision infection and delayed wound healing in both groups. Conclusions:Local application of tranexamic acid after thyroidectomy can reduce postoperative drainage volume and does not increase the risk of thrombosis, infection and delayed healing.
