ObjectiveTo investigate the role of Ras-GTPase-activating protein SH3 domain-binding protein 2 (G3BP2) in regulating the activation, proliferation, and migration of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). MethodsThe mouse HSCs (JS-1 cell line) were treated with 5 μg/L transforming growth factor-beta 1(TGF-β1) for 24 hours to establish an HSC activation and proliferation model. A G3BP2 knockdown system was constructed using siRNA interference technology. The experiment was divided into four groups: Control, TGF-β1 treatment, TGF-β1+si-NC, and TGF-β1+ G3BP2-siRNA. The expression levels of key fibrosis indicators, including type I collagen (Collagen I), α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), and G3BP2, were detected by Western blot and RT-qPCR. Cell proliferation activity was assessed using the CCK-8 proliferation assay kit and EdU fluorescence labeling technology. Cell migration ability was analyzed by scratch wound healing assay and Transwell migration assay. The formation level of stress granules was quantified by immunofluorescence microscopy to investigate the effects of G3BP2 on stress granule formation in activated HSCs. ResultsStimulation with TGF-β1 upregulated the expression of G3BP2 in JS-1 cells (RT-qPCR: P0.000 1; Western blot: P0.000 1), while a downward trend in its expression was observed in the G3BP2‑silenced group (RT-qPCR: P0.01; Western blot: P0.000 1). Compared with the control group, the TGF-β1 group exhibited increased protein expression levels of α-SMA and Collagen I (RT-qPCR: both P0.01; Western blot: P0.01 and P0.05, respectively), concomitant with an increased number of stress granules and enhanced cell proliferation and migration capacity (all P0.001). The experimental results demonstrated that G3BP2 knockout effectively reversed the aforementioned phenotypes, with the G3BP2-silenced group showing reduced expression of fibrotic markers (all P0.01), decreased stress granule formation (P0.01), and reduced cell proliferation and migration capacity (all P0.05), compared to the negative control group. ConclusionG3BP2 enhances the activation, proliferation, and migration of HSCs by promoting the formation of stress granules, thereby accelerating the pathological progression of liver fibrosis. This suggests that stress granules may serve as important regulators in controlling the activation, proliferation, and migration of HSCs.

Objective:To investigate the effects of two anastomosis methods on perioperative and pathological outcomes during totally laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (TLRH).Methods:In a national multicenter snapshot study, 1,854 patients who underwent laparoscopic right hemicolectomy were enrolled from 52 tertiary hospitals across China. The post-hoc analysis based on this study compared the data of 303 patients who underwent TLRH. Patients were divided into the antiperistaltic group (33 cases) and the isoperistaltic group (270 cases) according to type of anastomosis. Due to the significant difference in sample size between the two groups, propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to eliminate the influence of baseline characteristic discrepancies. The matching was based on the following known confounding factors: age, gender, body mass index (BMI), history of abdominal surgery, and history of diabetes, with a caliper value of 0.2. Perioperative and pathological outcomes were compared between the two groups.Results:After PSM, 33 patients were included in the antiperistaltic group and 65 patients in the isoperistaltic group. There were no statistically significant differences in baseline data between the two groups (all P>0.05). No significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of operation time, blood loss, time to first defecation, time to first oral intake, or the incidence and grading of complications either (all P>0.05). However, length of postoperative hospital stay in the isoperistaltic group was significantly shorter than that in the antiperistaltic group, however (7.0 [6.0, 9.0] days vs. 8.0 [7.0, 10.5] days, P=0.049). In terms of pathological outcomes, there were also no statistically significant differences between the two groups in the number of harvested lymph nodes or the number of positive lymph nodes (all P>0.05). Conclusions:The two digestive tract reconstruction modalities, antiperistaltic and isoperistaltic anastomosis, have comparable perioperative safety and efficacy in TLRH. The isoperistaltic group had better outcomes in terms of postoperative hospital stay.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between 24-hour urinary calcium (24 h UCa) level and the risk of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), cardiovascular disease (CVD), and all-cause mortality.Methods:In the Chinese Cohort Study of Chronic Kidney Disease, we examined 3 375 patients aged 18-74 years with CKD stages 1-4. Kaplan-Meier survival and Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to test a time-to-event association between levels of 24 h UCa and incidence of ESKD, CVD, and all-cause mortality.Results:During a follow-up of 4.17 (3.37, 5.20) years, 179, 145, 104 and 38 ESKD events occurred in <0.60, 0.60-, 1.20-, ≥2.32 mmol 24 h UCa groups. Higher levels of 24 h UCa (1.20-,≥2.32 mmol) were independently associated with a lower incidence of ESKD events in patients with CKD, with HR (95% CI) of 0.71 (0.54-0.93) and 0.43 (0.29-0.64), respectively. No significant associations with CVD and all-cause mortality endpoints were detected. Conclusion:Among patients with CKD, levels of 24 h UCa displayed an association with the risk of ESKD among patients with CKD stages 1-4.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of 18 patients with Brucella melitensis infection (abbreviated as brucellosis) in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (abbreviated as Xinjiang). Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the medical records of 18 patients diagnosed with Brucella melitensis infection by blood culture at the First Affiliated Hospital of Shihezi University from March 2023 to March 2024, including general information, epidemiological characteristics, clinical manifestations, laboratory test results, etc. Results:Among the 18 patients with sheep brucellosis, 14 patients were aged 45-59 years old and 13 patients were male, with 13 cases having a clear history of contact with cattle and sheep. The main clinical manifestations were fever (18 cases), bone and joint pain (5 cases), and fatigue (5 cases). Laboratory test results confirmed all 18 cases as Brucella melitensis infection (AMOS-PCR), with one case originating from cattle. Laboratory tests showed that 12 patients had elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels. Correlation analysis revealed, there was a positive association between aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and LDH ( r = 0.84, P < 0.001); a positive correlation between the number of affected systems and the percentage of neutrophils (N%, r = 0.73, P = 0.001); a positive correlation between the duration of medication and the number of affected systems ( r = 0.82, P < 0.001) and N% ( r = 0.75, P = 0.001); and a negative correlation between treatment duration and lymphocyte percentage (LYM%, r =-0.76, P = 0.001). Conclusions:The main source of Brucella melitensis infection in Xinjiang is sheep, and contact with cattle can also cause Brucella melitensis infection. Brucella melitensis patients are more common in middle-aged males. The clinical manifestations are diverse and atypical; N% and LYM% are correlated with the number of affected systems.

Although low temperature plasma ablation technology has significant advantages in clinical applications,its poor stability,high power consumption and thermal injuries to the tissues are still key factors limiting its widespread use.To address these issues,a device that uses bipolar pulses to excite plasma is developed,and it can flexibly adjust its output voltage,frequency and duty cycle,effectively reducing breakdown voltage and power consumption.By conducting simulation and saltwater discharge experiments,the excitation process of plasma is elaborated in detail.Meanwhile,the effects of two different pulse excitation modes on plasma excitation are discussed and compared.The results show that the bipolar pulse excitation mode is advantageous in reducing discharge current and breakdown voltage,and shortening the formation time of the vapor layer,which effectively relieves thermal injuries to the tissues.Finally,the broad application potential of the plasma ablation device is demonstrated in plasma ablation experiments which are conducted at different voltages,with pork as the experimental material.The study provides a new theoretical basis and practical guidance for the application of plasma ablation technology in minimally invasive surgery.

Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of therapeutic whole blood exchange combined with lymphoplasmapheresis in the treatment of refractory autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA). Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of AIHA patients who underwent therapeutic whole blood exchange combined with lymphoplasmapheresis at our hospital from March 2022 to May 2025. Efficacy was assessed by comparing changes in hemoglobin, platelet count, and bilirubin levels before and after treatment. Safety was evaluated by analyzing vital signs before and after the procedure, parameters during the exchange, and adverse reactions. Results: A total of 12 AIHA patients were enrolled, completing 19 exchange procedures. The number of procedures per patient ranged from 1 to 3. The median treatment duration was 67 (65-73) minutes, with a median exchange volume of 2 025 (1 851-2 121) mL, comprising 4.5 (4-6) units of red blood cells and 1 350 (1 200-1 400) mL of plasma. Ten patients achieved partial remission, one achieved complete remission, and one showed no response, yielding an response rate of 91% (11/12). After a single session, hemoglobin increased significantly by 17.58±9.85 g/L (P<0.01), while platelets counts decreased by 45 (17.5, 79)×10
/L (P<0.05), and both systolic and diastolic blood pressure showed a significant elevation (P<0.05). However, no statistically significant differences were observed in total bilirubin, indirect bilirubin, white blood cell count, or heart rate. During the procedures, 4 adverse reactions occurred in 3 patients: one child experienced severe heart rate fluctuation twice consecutively, and two adults developed plasma allergies. All reactions resolved spontaneously without pharmacological intervention. Conclusion: The combination of therapeutic whole blood exchange and lymphoplasmapheresis appears to be a safe and effective treatment for refractory AIHA patients.
