Recent years have witnessed significant advancements in the perioperative trea-tment of locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC), yet numerous challenges persist. Current research focuses primarily on the precise application of immunotherapy, breakthroughs in targeted therapy, optimization of multidisciplinary comprehensive treatment models, and the selection of postopera-tive adjuvant therapy regimens. Although immunotherapy has achieved remarkable progress in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer, its application in the perioperative setting remains controver-sial, particularly regarding its long-term survival benefits. In terms of targeted therapy, the applica-tion of drugs targeting human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 and Claudin 18.2 in the periopera-tive setting for LAGC still requires further validation. Additionally, the optimization of multidisci-plinary comprehensive treatment models, such as the long-term survival benefits of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy combined with perioperative chemotherapy, remains unclear. There are also many disputes surrounding the selection of postoperative adjuvant therapy regimens and surgical strategies following neoadjuvant treatment, including the extent of lymph node dissection. Addres-sing these issues will help further optimize the perioperative treatment strategies for LAGC, thereby improving patient survival rates and quality of life. Therefore, the authors explore in depth the key issues and relevant strategies for perioperative treatment of LAGC.

To construct a recombinant fowl adenovirus 4(FAdV-4)expressing the Cap protein of goose astrovirus genotype 2(GoAstV-2),the expression cassette of Cap gene was inserted into the natural 1 966 bp deletion region of the FAdV-4 genome in the infectious clone p15A-cm-FAdV4-HNJZ.The resulted recombinant plasmid p15A-cm-FAdV4-HNJZ-Cap/GoAstV-2 was linearized with restriction enzyme and transfected into chicken hepatoma cell line(LMH)to rescue the recombinant FAdV-4 expressing the Cap protein of GoAstV-2,rF Ad V4-Cap/GoAstV-2.After 15 passages in LMH cells,the recombinant rFAdV4-Cap/GoAstV-2 was identified by PCR using primers flanking the insertion site of the Cap gene expression cassette and using viral genome DNA extracted from rFAdV4-Cap/GoAstV-2 infected LMH cells as template.LMH cells were in-fected with 15th passage rFAdV4-Cap/GoAstV-2 and indirect immunofluorescence was performed with a polyclonal antibody against Cap protein as the primary antibody.Western blot was carried out with lysates of rFAdV4-Cap/GoAstV-2 infected LMH cells.The in vitro replication dynamic of the 15th passage of the rFAdV4-Cap/GoAstV-2 was also investigated in LMH cells.The results demonstrated that the Cap gene of GoAstV-2 was presented in the genome of the recombinant vi-rus rF AdV4-Cap/Go Ast V-2,and could be expressed stably.The prepared recombinant virus in this study will lay a foundation for developing inactivated bivalent vaccine candidate against co-in-fection of FAdV-4 and GoAstV-2 in goose.

Objective:To systematically synthesize the real experiences of women who have undergone emergency cesarean sections, providing evidence-based insights to inform the development of personalized care strategies.Methods:A comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, ProQuest, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP, and China Biology Medicine disc for qualitative and mixed-methods studies related to the psychological experiences of women who underwent emergency cesarean sections. The search covered all publications up to January 31, 2025. The methodological quality of included studies was appraised using the Joanna Briggs Institute Center for Evidence-Based Health Care Quality Assessment Criteria for Qualitative Research. The results were integrated using an aggregative synthesis approach.Results:A total of 16 studies were included, from which 78 findings were extracted and grouped into nine new categories. These were further synthesized into three overarching themes: shift in birth plan and emergence of dynamic emotional responses; desire for diversified external support and encouragement; emotional investment and character growth.Conclusions:Women undergoing emergency cesarean sections commonly experience intense negative emotions. It is essential for healthcare providers and family members to pay close attention to the physical and psychological well-being of postpartum women, offer timely emotional support, and help them recover from psychological trauma, thereby promoting maternal mental and physical health.

Objective To investigate the effects of ulinastatin(UTI)combined with somatostatin(SOM)on intestinal damage in acute pancreatitis(AP)rats and the possible mechanisms of action.Methods The rats were randomly divided into sham-operated(sham)group,AP group,UTI group,UIT+SOM group and UIT+SOM+JAK2 activator(CA1)group,15 rats/group,respectively.Twelve hours after administration,the intestinal permeability,serum biochemical indicators,and inflammatory factor of rats were detected.HE staining was applied to observe the pathological changes in pancreatic and intestinal tissues.TUNEL method was applied to detect apoptosis in intestinal tissue.Western blot was applied to detect the expression of JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway proteins.Results Compared with the sham group,the pancreatic tissue of rats in the AP group showed obvious inflammatory cell infiltration,edema and bleeding,while the intestinal mucosa showed inflammatory cell infiltration,irregular villi,shedding and necrosis of intestinal epithelial cells in the intestinal tissue.The intestinal permeability,serum amylase(AMY),lipase(LIPA)activities,diamine oxidase(DAO)activities,tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α),interleukin-6(IL?6)level,pancreatic and intestinal histopathological scores,intestinal tissue cell apoptosis rate,and p?JAK2/JAK2,p?STAT3/STAT3 ratio all significantly increased(P<0.05).Compared with the AP group,the pancreatic and intestinal tissue injury of rats in the UTI group and UIT+SOM group was reduced,and inflammatory cell infil?tration was reduced.The intestinal permeability,serum AMY,LIPA activities,DAO activities,TNF?α,IL?6 level,pancreatic and intestinal histopathological scores,intestinal tissue cell apoptosis rate and p?JAK2/JAK2,p?STAT3/STAT3 ratio were all decreased(P<0.05).The pancreatic and intestinal tissue injury of rats in the UIT+SOM+CA1 group were more severe,and the trends of the above indicators were opposite to those found in UIT+SOM group(P<0.05).Conclusions The combination of UTI and SOM attenuated intestinal injury in AP rats,and potential mechanism may involve in the inhibition of the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.

Objective:To develop a 5-year mortality risk prediction model for patients with small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix(SCNEC).Methods:Based on the Surveillance,Epidemiology,and End Results(SEER)database and R software version 4.3.3,variables were screened via Lasso regression,followed by multivariable logistic regression and stepwise regression to develop a 5-year mortality risk prediction model for SCNEC patients.The Akaike Information Criterion(AIC),C-index,receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve,Hosmer-Lemeshow test,and calibration curve were employed to evaluate the model.Results:Age,M stage,surgical status,and lymph node metastasis were ultimately selected as variables to construct the 5-year mortality risk prediction model for SCNEC patients.The model demonstrated superior predictive performance compared to FIGO staging(P＜0.01).The Hosmer-Lemeshow test yielded a P-value＞0.05.The C-index values for the training and validation sets were 0.808 and 0.755,respectively,with the areas under the ROC curves of 0.826 and 0.744.The calibration curves of the model fluctuated near the diagonal line,indicating good agreement between predicted and observed outcomes.The decision curve analysis demonstrated significant clinical net benefit.Results showed that higher mortality risk was associated with advanced age,M1 status,lymph node metastasis,and lack of surgical opportunity.Conclusions:The model exhibits good discriminatory power and accuracy,providing significant benefits to patients.Enhanced management should be implemented for patients with advanced age,distant metastasis,lymph node metastasis,or ineligibility for surgery.Lymph node metastasis is an independent risk factor for 5-year mortality in patients with SCNEC.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of melatonin in alleviating hypoxia-induced apoptosis in ovarian gra-nulosa cells.Methods Rat ovarian granulosa cells were isolated and divided into normoxic,hypoxic,and melatonin groups.Hypoxia-induced injury models were established in the hypoxic and melatonin groups,and granulosa cells in the melatonin group were treated with melatonin.A total of 24 rats were randomized into the control,model,and intervention groups(n=8 per group).Rat models of declining ovarian function induced by long-term hypoxia were established in the model and intervention groups.The rats in the intervention group were intraperitoneally injected with melatonin.Cell proliferation was measured using a CCK-8 assay,and lactate secretion and HIF-1αprotein with a specific kit,respectively.The levels of estradiol and progesterone in the cell supernatant and rat serum were detected using ELISA.Granulosa cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry,ovarian morphology by HE staining,and Bax and caspase-3 expression by Western blotting.Results Compared with the normoxic group,the hypoxic group exhibited decreased granulosa cell proliferation,increased apoptosis,elevated lactate and HIF-1α levels,and reduced estradiol and progesterone levels(P＜0.05).Compared with hypoxic group,these changes were significantly reversed in the molatonin group(P＜0.05).Compared with the control group,the model group showed increased lactate,HIF-1α,Bax,and caspase-3 levels,decreased estradiol and progesterone levels,and reduced follicles.Compared with the model group,all the indicators were ameliorated in the intervention group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Melatonin alleviated hypoxia-induced granulosa cell apoptosis and promoted the recovery of ovarian function.

Objective To investigate the effects of soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products(sRAGE)on the changes and functions of myocardial tissue proteins in mice during myocardial ischemia/reperfusion(I/R).Methods Establish the myocardial I/R model using cardiac-specific sRAGE transgenic mice,and apply proteomic methods to detect the types and levels of protein expression in myocardial tissue.Results Compared with the I/R+sRAGE KIfl/fl group,the I/R+sRAGE CKI group had 59 upregulated proteins and 42 downregulated proteins in myocardial tissue.The volcano plot showed that the significantly upregulated proteins were lghg1,lgh2b,Mcm7,and Nifk,and the significantly downregulated proteins were Abca7,Colla2,Ablim1,Crebrf,and Kcp,respectively.The subcellular localization results showed that the proteins with significant changes were mainly distributed in the nucleus,cytoplasm,extracellular space,plasma membrane,endoplasmic reticulum,cytoskeleton,and others.The results of functional enrichment showed that the significantly changed proteins were mainly involved in regulating signal transduction,cell motility,metabolism,infectious diseases,tumors and the immune system.Conclusion sRAGE can inhibit myocardial I/R injury by increasing or decreasing target proteins involved in regulating intracellular and extracellular signal transduction processes following myocardial I/R.

Objective:The greater tuberosity angle(GTA)and critical shoulder angle(CSA)are commonly referred to as radiographic markers which were used to described morphology of the greater tu-berosity and acromion respectively.At present,most international studies focus on the correlation be-tween the above two parameters and rotator cuff tears(RCTs),and their diagnostic value and risk assess-ment.This study attempts to find out the trend of GTA and CSA changes and risk threshold of RCTs,as well as the protective factors and risk factors.Methods:In this study,130 individuals from May 2019 to December 2020 were recruited.According to Southern California Orthopedic Institute(SCOI)classifica-tion,the individuals were divided into four groups retrospectively:Group A,negative control group;Group B,partial tears(articular side);Group C,partial tears(bursal side);Group D,full-thickness tears.GTA and CSA were measured respectively on true anteroposterior position X-ray of shoulder with arm in neutral rotation and performed by the same trained technician team in single-blind.The correla-tions between RCTs and relevant factors were analyzed.Results:According to the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC),GTA and CSA of RCTs(Groups B,C and D)were 0.736 and 0.673 with 95％confidence interval(CI),the cut-off value of GTA and CSA of RCTs were 70.5° and 39.5° respectively.Comparing with the control group,RCTs groups had significant statistical differences in age and body mass index(BMI)(P＜0.05),especially the full-thickness RCTs(Group D),which was older than Groups A,B and C(P＜0.05,cut-off value:56.5 years old)and shorter than Groups A and B(P＜0.05,cut-off value:1.58 m).Analyzed from scatter plot and regression analysis,there was no linear correlation between GTA and CSA.There were no significant differences in gender,dominant shoulders and smoking between the RCTs groups and the control group(P＞0.05).Conclusion:Larger GTA(＞70.5°)and CSA(＞39.5°)would be highly predictive in diagnosing RCTs without linear cor-relation,and GTA has a higher diagnostic value in contrast.Subacromial impingement and shoulder de-generation occurred before RCTs.Patients with age＞56.5 years and height＜1.58 m were more likely to develop disease of full-thickness RCTs and no statistic differences in weight and BMI.Gender,domi-nant shoulder and smoking were neither risk factors nor protective factors.

Objective:To observe any effect of combining visual deprivation training (VDT) with repeated low-frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in the treatment of lower limb motor dysfunction among stroke survivors.Methods:Fifty stroke survivors were randomly assigned to either a control group or an experimental group ( n=25 each). In addition to routine rehabilitation treatment, the control group received rTMS targeting the primary motor cortex (M1, lower limb representation area) of the unaffected hemisphere, while the experimental group also received VDT. Before and after 4 weeks of the treatments, everyone′s lower limb motor function, balance, gait and ability in the activities of daily living were evaluated using the Fugl-Meyer lower extremity assessment (FMA-LE), the root mean square (RMS) values generated through surface electromyography of the affected tibialis anterior muscle, the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), the Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT), the Tinetti Gait Assessment (TGA), and the modified Barthel Index (MBI). Results:After the treatment, both groups showed significant improvements in their average FMA-LE, BBS, TUGT, TGA and MBI results, as well as in the RMS values of the affected tibialis anterior muscle. The experimental group showed significantly greater improvement compared to the control group.Conclusions:The combination of VDT and low-frequency rTMS can effectively improve the lower limb motor function, balance and gait of stroke survivors. It is more effective than rTMS alone. The combined therapy is worthy of clinical application and promotion.
