Objective: To investigate the feasibility of magnetic anastomosis for uretero-ileal anastomosis using experimental rabbit models. Methods: Six experimental rabbits were used as the models.The lower part of the left ureter was cut with scissors，the daughter magnet (DM) was placed in the middle of the ureter，and the distal end of the ureter was ligated.After that，the ileum wall was opened，the parent magnet (PM) was inserted through it，the positions of the PM and DM were adjusted so that their ends were attracted to each other，and then ileum wall incision was sutured.The operation time，intraoperative blood loss，postoperative complications and magnet discharge time were recorded.Two weeks after operation，left ureterography was performed to obtain the specimens of the uretero-ileal anastomosis，and to observe the patency of the anastomosis.The formation of the anastomosis was observed with naked eyes and light microscope. Results: Uretero-ileal magnetic anastomosis was performed successfully in 6 experimental rabbits.The operation time was 28-39（32.50±3.94） min，and the intraoperative blood loss was less than 5 mL.The rabbits recovered well after operation，and no complications were observed.All animals survived to the end point of observation.The disconnection time of magnet after operation was 9-13(10.83±1.72) days.The gross specimen showed that the anastomosis was patent.The histological observation showed that the mucosa of the anastomosis was continuous and smooth，and the anastomosis was well formed. Conclusion: Magnetic anastomosis is feasible for uretero-ileal anastomosis with simple operation and good anastomosis formation.After further experimental verification，this technique is expected to be used in clinical practice.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains a refractory subtype of breast cancer due to its resistance to various therapeutic strategies. In this study, we introduce a "brake-release and accelerator-pressing" approach to engineer a microneedle patch embedded with copper-doped Prussian blue nanoparticles (Cu-PB) and the ferroptosis inducer sorafenib (SRF) for raised chemodynamic (CDT)/photothermal (PTT) combination therapy against TNBC. Upon transdermal insertion, the dissolving microneedles swiftly disintegrate and facilitate the release of SRF. Under gentle external light exposure, copper ions (Cu²⁺) and iron ions (Fe³⁺) were liberated from Cu-PB. The direct chelation of Cu²⁺ and the indirect suppression by SRF, collectively attenuate glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) enzymatic function, destabilizing the cellular redox equilibrium (referred to as the "brake-release" strategy). The release of Cu²⁺ and Fe³⁺ ions instigates a Fenton/Fenton-like reaction within tumor cells, further yielding hydroxyl radicals and elevating reactive oxygen species (ROS) concentrations (referred to as the "accelerator-pressing" strategy). This overwhelming ROS accumulation, coupled with the impaired clearance of resultant lipid peroxides (LPO), ultimately triggers a robust ferroptosis cell death response. In summary, this study presents an innovative combinatorial therapeutic strategy based on dual-ferroptosis induction for TNBC, implying a promising therapeutic platform for developing ferroptosis-centered treatments for this aggressive breast cancer subtype.

Objective To explore the potential profile of body image and its influencing factors among head and neck cancer patients.Methods Convenience sampling was employed to investigate 335 head and neck cancer patients in a tertiary hospital in Shandong Province from October 2023 to May 2024.Data was collected using the patient's general information questionnaire,Body Image Scale,Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire,Perceived Social Support Scale,Comprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity based on the Patient-Reported Outcome Measures.Latent profile analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to explore distinct profiles and influencing factor of body image in head and neck patients.Results A total of 335 valid questionnaires were collected in this study,and 95.4％of the valid questionnaires were included.Body image of patients with head and neck cancer could be divided into 3 latent profiles:body emotional stability(41.5％),body cognitive dissatisfaction(33.7％)and social behavior avoidance(24.8％).Age,location of cancer onset,stage of cancer,surgical treatment,medical coping style(facing coping,yielding coping),social support and economic toxicity were the factors influencing the latent profiles of body image in patients with head and neck cancer(P＜0.05).Conclusion There is heterogeneity in body image of patients with head and neck cancer.Medical staff should implement targeted management strategies based on the influencing factors of different profiles to reduce the body image disorders in patients with head and neck cancer,and to promote patients to better return to society.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of mumps in China under the immunization strategies of different doses of mumps-containing vaccines(MuCV) by analyzing the national mumps surveillance data from 2020 to 2023.Methods:Based on the national mumps surveillance data from 2020 to 2023, a comparative analysis was conducted on the mumps incidence and the distribution characteristics of mumps cases in time, region and population in the three different periods of 2004-2007 (without MuCV implementation), 2008-2019 (one-dose MuCV implementation) and 2020-2023 (two-dose MuCV implementation) in China.Results:From 2020 to 2023, the annual incidence rate of mumps was 6.48-9.20/100 000, and the annual number of reported cases was 91 303-129 120 cases. After the implementation of the 2-dose MuCV immunization strategy, the epidemiological characteristics of mumps in China have changed to some extent. Compared with the period of 2004-2007 and 2008-2019, the traditional seasonal epidemic pattern of mumps disappeared from 2020 to 2023, with no obvious epidemic peak throughout the year. There was no significant regional difference in the incidence of mumps. Children and adolescents under 15 years of age were the main population of mumps (accounting for 85.46%), of which children aged 5-9 years accounted for 45.07%. Compared with the period of 2004-2007 and 2008-2019, the proportion of mumps cases in the 0-4 years old group showed an increasing trend, the proportion of mumps cases in the 10-14 years old group showed a decreasing trend, and the proportion of adult cases over 40 years old also increased from 2020 to 2023. The age group with the highest incidence of mumps was found to have shifted from 7 years old to 4 years old.Conclusions:The 2-dose MuCV immunization strategy has effectively reduced the incidence of mumps in China. It is necessary to strengthen the surveillance of mumps in kindergartens and primary school children.

Objective To investigate indoor radon concentrations and environmental cumulative doses in residential and office units in Shenzhen, and estimate the average annual effective dose, and to provide data for assessing public health risks. Methods Within the 11 administrative districts of Shenzhen (including the Shenzhen-Shanwei Special Cooperation Zone), 17 residential units and 3 office units were randomly selected as monitoring sites in each district. The units selected represented buildings of different ages and various floors on which the units were located. Radon detectors and environmental cumulative dosimeters were deployed for monitoring. Results The indoor radon concentrations in Shenzhen during the two monitoring periods were (36.6 ± 16.5) Bq/m³ and (19.8 ± 15.3) Bq/m³, respectively. The environmental cumulative doses for the two monitoring periods were (0.33 ± 0.07) mSv and (0.25 ± 0.04) mSv, respectively. The estimated average annual effective dose due to indoor radon in Shenzhen was 0.92 mSv. Conclusion All monitored indoor radon concentrations in Shenzhen were below the national standard of China. The indoor radon concentrations exhibited significant regional variations, were higher in spring than in summer, and showed no statistically significant differences across buildings of different ages or units of various floors. The trends in indoor radon concentrations and environmental cumulative doses were highly consistent. The average indoor radon concentration in Shenzhen was lower than both the global and national levels, indicating a low risk of internal radiation exposure from radon.

Objective To investigate the relationships of the expression of Calponin 1 and tumor ubiquitin-specific protease 1(OTUB1)with clinicopathological features in gastric cancer tissues as well as their prognostic values.Methods A total of 98 patients with gastric cancer were enrolled in this study.The qPCR was used to detect the expression levels of Calponin 1 mRNA and OTUB1 mRNA in gastric cancer tissues;the immunohistochemical staining was performed to detect the protein expres-sion levels of Calponin 1 and OTUB1;the Kaplan-Meier curve was plotted to compare the survival differences among gastric cancer patients with different expression levels of Calponin 1 and OTUB1;the Cox regression model was used to screen the influencing factors of prognosis in gastric cancer.Results Compared with adjacent tissues,the expression levels of Calponin 1 mRNA and OTUB1 mRNA in gastric cancer tissues were significantly higher(P＜0.05).The positive expression rates of Calponin 1 and OTUB1 protein in gastric cancer tissues were 63.27％and 65.31％respectively,which were significantly higher than 6.12％and 8.16％in adjacent tissues(P＜0.001).The expression levels of Calponin 1 and OTUB1 proteins were increased significantly in gastric cancer tissues of cases with stage Ⅲ ofTNM staging and lymph node metastasis(P＜0.05).The 3-year overall survival rate was 45.16％(28/62)in the Calponin 1-positive group,which was significantly lower than 83.33％(30/36)in the Calponin 1-negative group(Log-rank x2=12.990,P＜0.001).The 3-year overall survival rate was 45.31％(29/64)in the OTUB1-positive group,which was significantly lower than 85.29％(29/34)in the OTUB1-negative group(Log-rank x2=14.880,P＜0.001).The results of multivariate Cox regression showed that Calponin 1 positivity,OTUB1 positivity,stage Ⅲ ofTNM staging,and lymph node metastasis were risk factors for death in gastric cancer patients(P＜0.001).Conclusion The expressions of Calponin 1 and OTUB1 are upregulated in gastric cancer tissues and are related to TNM staging and lymph node metastasis.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of establishing canine rectovaginal fistula ani-mal model using magnetic surgery techniques.Methods Ten female Beagle dogs were randomly di-vided into study group(n=5)and control group(n=5).The study group underwent rectovaginal fistula modeling using magnetic surgery technology,while the control group was subjected to sharp puncture of the rectovaginal septum followed by indwelling rubber tube placement to establish the model.Surgical procedure duration and postoperative adverse events were recorded in both groups.Two weeks later,the magnets and rubber tubes were removed.The formation of rectovaginal fistulas in the animals of two groups was observed,and the success rates of model construction of two groups were statistically analyzed.Results Both groups successfully completed the preparation of the recto-vaginal fistula models.The operative time in both groups was less than 2 minutes.No adverse events such as magnet detachment were observed in the study group during the postoperative period.In the control group,the rubber tube dislodged on day 6 post-surgery in one dog,leading to spontaneous healing of the fistula.Two weeks after surgery,the magnets and rubber tubes were removed.Naked-eye observation showed that the rectovaginal fistula formed well in the experimental dogs of the study group,while the rectovaginal fistula formed well in 4 experimental dogs in the control group.The success rate of model construction in the study group was 100％,and was 80％in the control group.Conclusion The construction of a canine rectovaginal fistula model by magnetosurgical techniques has the advantages of simple operation and high success rate.Magnetosurgical techniques may serve as an ideal animal model for constructing and studying the histopathological changes and treatment methods of rectovaginal fistulas.
