Objective:
To explore the effect of tumor cell perineural invasion on the prognosis of cervical cancer and the early predictive factors of perineural invasion in patients with cervical cancer.
Methods:
A retrospective a⁃ nalysis was conducted on the clinical , pathological , and survival data of 551 patients with cervical cancer. These patients were categorized into a survival group (n = 477) and a death group (n = 74) . The baseline characteristics of the two groups were compared using independent samples t ⁃tests , Wilcoxon rank⁃sum tests , and chi⁃square tests.Multivariate binary Logistic stepwise regression analysis was employed to identify independent risk factors associated with mortality. In addition , univariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine predictive factors for perineural invasion. A predictive model for perineural invasion in cervical cancer was subsequently developed based on the multivariate regression equation , and its predictive accuracy was assessed using the ROC curve.
Results:
In the basic data of cervical cancer patients , the high level of perineural invasion , lymphatic metastasis and postopera⁃tive pathological stage in pathological data had an impact on the poor prognosis of patients ( P < 0 . 0 5 ) , Lympho⁃vascular space invasion , parametrial involvement , and tumor invasion depth ≥ 1/2 were identified as significant predictors of PNI. The predictive value was the best in the multivariate model ( Area under the curve = 0. 80) .
Conclusion
Perineural invasion is an independent risk factor for poor prognosis of cervical cancer patients , and the occurrence of perineural invasion can be effectively predicted by the constructed multivariate mode.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the predominant cause of subfertility in reproductive-aged women; however, its pathophysiology remains unknown. Neurotensin (NTS) is a member of the gut-brain peptide family and is involved in ovulation; its relationship with PCOS is unclear. Here, we found that NTS expression in ovarian granulosa cells and follicular fluids was markedly decreased in patients with PCOS. In the in vitro culture of cumulus-oocyte complexes, the neurotensin receptor 1 (NTSR1) antagonist SR48692 blocked cumulus expansion and oocyte meiotic maturation by inhibiting metabolic cooperation and damaging the mitochondrial structure in oocytes and surrounding cumulus cells. Furthermore, the ERK1/2-early growth response 1 pathway was found to be a key downstream mediator of NTS/NTSR1 in the ovulatory process. Animal studies showed that in vivo injection of SR48692 in mice reduced ovulation efficiency and contributed to irregular estrus cycles and polycystic ovary morphology. By contrast, NTS partially ameliorated the ovarian abnormalities in mice with dehydroepiandrosterone-induced PCOS. Our findings highlighted the critical role of NTS reduction and consequent abnormal NTSR1 signaling in the ovulatory dysfunction of PCOS, suggesting a potential strategy for PCOS treatment.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder in children. Its clinical symptoms are diverse and often remain lifelong, resulting in uncertainty in adult outcomes. So far, there are few studies on ASD in adults. However, most patients, in their adulthood, have a high incidence of mental health problems, poor work prospects, and poor social function, which are susceptible to a variety of factors. These are urgent to be solved in clinical practice. By summarizing the clinical characteristics of ASD in adults and analyzing its outcomes and influencing factors, this article helps to improve the understanding of ASD in medical workers and to provide a reference for the diagnosis, treatment, and outcome improvement of ASD.

Approximately 140 million people worldwide are homozygous carriers of APOE4 (ε4), a strong genetic risk factor for late onset familial and sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD), 91% of whom will develop AD at earlier age than heterozygous carriers and noncarriers. Susceptibility to AD could be reduced by targeted editing of APOE4, but a technical basis for controlling the off-target effects of base editors is necessary to develop low-risk personalized gene therapies. Here, we first screened eight cytosine base editor variants at four injection stages (from 1- to 8-cell stage), and found that FNLS-YE1 variant in 8-cell embryos achieved the comparable base conversion rate (up to 100%) with the lowest bystander effects. In particular, 80% of AD-susceptible ε4 allele copies were converted to the AD-neutral ε3 allele in human ε4-carrying embryos. Stringent control measures combined with targeted deep sequencing, whole genome sequencing, and RNA sequencing showed no DNA or RNA off-target events in FNLS-YE1-treated human embryos or their derived stem cells. Furthermore, base editing with FNLS-YE1 showed no effects on embryo development to the blastocyst stage. Finally, we also demonstrated FNLS-YE1 could introduce known protective variants in human embryos to potentially reduce human susceptivity to systemic lupus erythematosus and familial hypercholesterolemia. Our study therefore suggests that base editing with FNLS-YE1 can efficiently and safely introduce known preventive variants in 8-cell human embryos, a potential approach for reducing human susceptibility to AD or other genetic diseases.

There are many kinds o f Taraxacum plants,which are widely distributed . The dried whole plants of many kinds of plants can be used as medicinal materials ,and the origin is confused . This study finds that Taraxaci Herba first appears as “Pugoncao”in the Liu Juanzi Guiyifang of Jin Dynasty after consulting ancient herbal books ,medical books ,prescription books and modern literature . According to characteristics ,morphology,color and sound of the plant ,it has “Huanghualang”, “Gounoucao”,“Fugongying”,“Pugongying”,“Huanghuadiding”and other aliases . Taraxaci Herba originates from the dried whole plant of Compositae family Taraxacum mongolicum Hand.-Mazz.,T. borealisinense Kitam. or several plants of the same genus . Similar to it ,Sonchus oleraceus Linn.(also known as “Kujucai”)cannot replace Taraxaci Herba as medicine . Because of its characteristics of rapid reproduction and vigorous growth ,Taraxaci Herba is widely distributed in most areas of China .“Absolutely no in Lingnan ”stated in Bencao Gangmu is inconsistent with the actual situation after consulting the relevant works . Ancient physicians take growth height of Taraxaci Herba as their quality standard . Now,those with many leaves ,gray green color and long roots are preferred . Ancient doctors pointed out that Taraxaci Herba were mostly harvested in April and May of the lunar calendar , and modern research believes that it should be harvested in the near flowering period . In ancient times ,Taraxaci Herba is processed by many methods ,such as purification ,charcoal-frying,honey-frying and wine -frying. In modern times ,purification is the main method. This paper provides theoretical support for the value development and rational utilization of Taraxaci Herba by systematically researching its name ,origin,place of production ,harvesting and processing .
