Glioblastoma multiforme(GBM)is a grade 4 glioma with the highest malignancy and invasiveness in the central nervous system,accounting for approximately 30％of all tumors in the central nervous system.Due to the unclear pathogenesis of GBM,there is currently no specific target for the treatment of GBM.Temozolomide(TMZ)is the only first-line chemotherapeutic drug for the treatment of GBM,but suffers from a low drug response rate and high susceptibility to drug resistance.Therefore,the development of new targets and novel GBM therapeutic agents is an urgent clinical problem.Pentraxin 3(PTX3),a member of the pentameric protein superfamily,has been shown to have a promotive effect on a variety of tumors.Increasing evidences showed that PTX3 played a crucial role in the progression of GBM.PTX3 can promote the proliferation,migration and invasion ability of GBM cells,increase the angiogenesis ability in the GBM microenvironment and malignant progression of GBM.In the article,the structure,physiological function,expression regulation,role and mechanism of PTX3 in GBM were mainly reviewed,with a view to provide guidance for PTX3 as a potential drug target for the treatment of GBM.

Objective To provide scientific basis for layout planning and standardized cultivation the species of Chrysanthemum indicum complex in future periods,the potential ecological suitable areas was analyzed,.Methods By collecting distribution data of 1379 valid C.indicum complex species nationwide and 104 ecological factors,combined with MaxEnt model and ArcGIS software,the potential ecological distribution areas of C.indicum complex under 17 different climate scenarios was analyzed.Results Precipitation and solar radiation are key environmental variables affecting the suitable habitats of C.indicum complex.The most suitable regions for the growth of C.indicum complex was concentrated in Hubei(C.indicum L.),Shanxi(C.lavandulifolium),Jiangsu(C.nankingense),and Hubei(C.indicum var.aromaticum)regions.Under different scenarios,the suitable habitat area for C.indicum L.and C.lavandulifolium showed an overall decreasing trend,while those for C.indicum var.aromaticum and C.nankingense showed an expanding trend.The centroid shift indicates sensitivity of C.indicum complex to climate change.Conclusion The potential distribution areas of C.indicum complex is classified into ecological suitability levels,providing important reference for the sustainable use,introduction cultivation,and scientific zoning of related resources.

Objective:To investigate the clinical predictive value of Ki67 proliferation index combined with preoperative serum Ctn for postoperative biochemical cure of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) .Methods:Clinical data were collected from Dec. 2008 to Dec. 2024 from 90 patients with surgically confirmed MTC at China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University. The optimal cut-off value for preoperative Ctn prediction of biochemical cure (171.18pg/mL) was determined by the ROC curve; the Ki67 proliferation index cut-off value was adopted from the international MTC grading system standard (5%). Patients were divided into three groups based on the above cutoff values: double-low group (Ki67 <5% and Ctn <171.18pg/mL, n=23), single-high group (Ki67 ≥5% and Ctn <171.18pg/mL or Ki67 <5% and Ctn ≥171.18pg/mL, n=49), and double-high group (Ki67 ≥5% and Ctn ≥171.18pg/mL, n=18). The Kaplan-Meier method (Log-Rank and Trend test) was used to compare the differences in biochemical cure rates between groups, and the Cox proportional risk model was used to analyze the risk factors affecting biochemical cure. Results:The correlation between preoperative Ctn and Ki67 proliferation index was not significant. The three groups differed significantly in gender, tumor distribution, tumor size, vascular invasion, N stage, TNM stage, and biochemical cure ( P<0.05), with the double-high group being significantly associated with larger tumors, later N stage and TNM stage, and lower biochemical cure ( P<0.001). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the biochemical cure rate in the double-high, single-high, and double-low groups showed a stepwise improvement.Cox univariate analysis showed that tumor size, N stage, TNM stage, preoperative Ctn, and Ki67 combined with Ctn were risk factors for failure to biochemically cure; multivariate analysis confirmed that the double-high group was an independent risk factor ( P<0.05). In the single-high group, the biochemical cure rate of patients in the low Ki67-high Ctn group was lower than that of the high Ki67-low Ctn group and more malignant. Ki67 had less effect on biochemical cure and disease-free survival at the low Ctn level, and Ki67 was an independent risk factor for failure to biochemically cure at the high Ctn level ( P=0.023) and was significantly associated with disease-free survival ( P=0.004) . Conclusions:Serum Ctn is more sensitive than Ki67 index in predicting biochemical cure after MTC, and the correlation between the two was weak. Ki67 proliferation index alone has limited prognostic value, but combines with preoperative Ctn significantly optimize the prognostic assessment of patients.The role of Ki67 index varied at different Ctn levels.

Calcitonin-negative medullary thyroid carcinoma(CNMTC)is a rare subtype of medullary thyroid carcinoma,characterized by normal serum calcitonin levels,which often leads to misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis.The pathogenesis of CNMTC remains unclear and may involve impaired secretion mechanisms or assay-related false negatives.Diagnostic approaches include ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration cytology,serum CEA and ProGRP measurements,and RET gene testing.Surgical resection remains the mainstay of treatment,while neoadjuvant therapy may be considered in selected cases.This review summarizes recent advances in the understanding,diagnosis,treatment,and prognosis of CNMTC,aiming to provide clinical guidance for better management of this challenging condition.

Objective:To investigate the acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI) in patients with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) at the early stage of operation and its influencing factors.Methods:A total of 70 patients with ECMO who were hospitalized in the Emergency Care Unit of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region People's Hospital from September 2020 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, and a total of 70 patients with ECMO who were hospitalized in the emergency care unit of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region People's Hospital from September 2020 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the 2012 guidelines of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine on the classification of acute gastrointestinal injury in critically ill patients, the patients were divided into AGI group and non-AGI group. The incidence of acute gastrointestinal injury in the early stage was statistically analyzed, and the results of blood gas analysis during ECMO loading and ECMO parameters, hemodynamic indexes and biochemical indexes after ECMO transfer were statistically analyzed. To explore the influencing factors and independent risk factors of AGI in the early stage. In addition, 70 patients were divided into successful group and non-successful group according to whether they were successfully withdrawn. The occurrence of acute gastrointestinal injury between the two groups was compared, and the effect of acute gastrointestinal injury on ECMO patients was analyzed.Results:Among the 70 ECMO patients, the incidence of early AGI was 71.43% (50 cases), and the components of AGI Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ were 18.57% (13 cases), 41.43% (29 cases), 11.43% (8 cases) and 0% (0 cases), respectively. ① Univariate analysis showed that systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure (MAP), vasoactive drug index (VIS), pH, lactic acid and BMI were significantly different between AGI group and non-AGI group when ECMO was used ( P < 0.05). Logistic binary regression analysis showed that BMI was an independent risk factor for early AGI in ECMO patients (ROC area 0.657, 95% confidence interval 0.522-0.791 ( P < 0.05), and Yoden index 0.15). (3) The AGI composition ratio of the unsuccessful group was higher than that of the unsuccessful group ( P < 0.05). Conclusions:Patients with ECMO have a high incidence of AGI in the early stage, mainly occurring in grade I and Ⅱ. Systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, MAP, VIS, pH, lactic acid and BMI when ECMO is put on are influential factors for the early development of AGI in ECMO patients, among which BMI is an independent risk factor for the early development of AGI in ECMO patients. The occurrence of AGI reduces the probability of successful withdrawal in ECMO patients.
